I mean, why don't we just in case maybe get a hotel and then
Like we'll see where the night goes, you know, maybe we're partying too hardcore and what if you just run out of
We lose track of time the sun's coming up, you know

Enthusiasm from him when he gets his gifts
Oh, I can't wait to see his face when he opens up his his wonderful packages. What if he's disappointed though?
He's like, yeah, I didn't want this. I wanted to get I wanted to get fucked and beat on
You know like what I thought we were gonna bring him a person. That's true
I mean, we can't really do that. But yeah, you could be disappointed. Hey, by the way
Can you see the image that we're looking at right now? Yeah, okay, so we were thinking
Okay about giving you a makeover. Yeah
What do you think of this look?
We'll see before your trip to new york. Do I get to do I get those cool glasses? Yeah, okay cool
I like the glasses. I like his marty grah beads
Um, I don't know that I can I think he has hair and literally the only place on my head. I can't grow hair
Oh
That's a problem. I have like the opposite hair is but his hair is dope. Isn't it? Yeah, it's tight
I wish I can grow my hair there, dude. Now. This is another one of my tick tock
Frequencies can I tell you something on the app every night been on tick tock sending the group tick tock selects
Oh my god, so many and you guys are like we don't see anybody like these people
I don't I joined it just because Christina sends these wonderful people. Why aren't they in your algorithms?
I don't know. I have like I don't like regular people doing like
Ariana grande songs and stuff and then you've come across. I'm like, where is she looking?
I can't but I can't get those normal people. That's why I joined tick tock. What kind of people what kind of people are you getting?
What kind of people a lot of like touched people I think people whose eyes are very far apart a lot of people who are
Missing a lot
What it's true. What it's just truth. I'm not I'm not being I I like all their videos
I encourage them. I follow them like I'm trying. I'm not trying to be a hater. You know what I mean
May I ask when you signed up Christina? Did you put something maybe your algorithms off or something?
Maybe did you put a special word in?
Uh in your preferences? No
No, here's a problem everybody that you've sent me
You're like, hey, this is a tick tock video every single one has been a
non
Job having person now you don't know that
There's some Walmart readers. There's I know
Well, there's everyone is in assisted living. So why what how does this happen?
Here's why I think it's happening
Because when I signed up it was for like the dancing videos and then I think what happened is like a random
Special person would pop up and then I'd like it because I'm like I want to encourage that person
Yeah, because I'm not a dick like I'll be like dude
I want to I want to make them feel good. And then now my feet is like all this kind of videos
It's all special people saying
So now I've got to like
I don't know how to clean my deck. Do you know what I'm saying? Like now I'm stuck in
In our worded tick tock
Yeah, you gotta start over start from scratch. No, I think it's really good what you got going
Yeah, you've really curated a great profile. I think I mean the shit you send me is just unbelievable. You're welcome
You know what? I'm gonna start. I'm gonna start a tick tock feed on my insta story
So you guys can share in what your feed it seems like the the shrivers curate your feed, you know, huh?
So
But so what about josh getting this haircut so we can't I mean, uh, if if you guys know a doctor
That can get you know restore my hair in that particular part of my head
What about would you do?
Because you shave today. Yeah, you look great. I didn't shave today. Well, you know, I am shaved. You did trim you did trim recently
You look younger. Uh, you do
But if you did grow out the beard again, would you be into the Puerto Rican pencil beard?
Oh, man, that's tough to maintain. No, you don't have to maintain it for long
But I mean would you I would like to see how it looks on me
You know, maybe I can get some buns with that Puerto Rican line beard
Okay, I would love to I'm not against testing it out. What are we offering him?
Well, I would like to do the Puerto Rican beard and then a full
Like a clothing makeover. Yeah, where basically you dress like a Puerto Rican
New York male would like a beater
A what?
Oh wife beater. Yeah, but I think no, I think a little more flavor something that pops some a little louder
I'm saying Miami Puerto Rican. Yeah, I'm saying a little louder. I want you to do white pants
I want you to do
Maybe a collar shirt, but with like some logos and shit on it. Like, uh,
Pachino and Scarface. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A dragon. Yes. Yeah
I want rhinestones on the pockets. I like that. Maybe some cowboy. Would you be open to this?
I mean, I'd like to see how it looks
Maybe it's an upgrade from what if all of a sudden you just start crushing. Oh my god
I go out walk down you start in East Hollywood and all the girls are like, okay
And then you just have to start speaking with an accent. Yeah, I'm like, what's what you doing like a
I speak like razor remote. Just adopt your dad's accent. I'm the bad guy. How did your dad say the bad guy?
My dad has like an like a weird hodgepodge mutt accent
So it's kind of all over. He's like, you know, I talk like this any accent for simple women in western New York
Any accents they're like, oh, he talked funny. I like that. And then they are all about simple
Simple. Hey, that could be the word that I choose for my tiktok feed. You have a real simple
Yeah, that's a good word for I think that might be a good title for a special simple women
Or just simple. This is for simple women. Yeah, I like that
Simple. Yeah, but that might be good for your tender profile
I don't know that I can portray an accent in my no, but I say in your bio. I'm more for simple women
Yeah, I'm looking for a nice simple woman. Yeah, there are those and that people put that all the time and girls like
I'm a simple girl. They write that in their like
And then you go we're a match, but I don't think they mean the same one that I'm looking for. I think they mean like real
Like I'm real or just like no frills. No. Yeah. I'm not a phony either. Yeah, but you're you're talking about actual mental
Yeah, I want like yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't look like a real talker
Right. No, I I don't want you to be very verbose. That's a big word. I don't want your vocabulary to be extensive
Just like dick here, you know that kind of thing
That kind of like our opener like the girl. Yeah, she was perfect. She had all the right words
She was fucking awesome. She's like the president all the best. Who is that? Who is that sweet girl? Who is she?
So you're
Something anderson something great. That's what I've been told. Sophie anderson perhaps is a
Something anderson. I like that name the best. Does it matter guys?
Yeah, does it matter?
Well, I'd like to see some more footage. So that's why I kind of wanted that
Do we have to try following her on twitter and it really
Litterers your feed with just non-stop pornography. She reads
Oh, really? Yeah, it's kind of like christina. What's her handle? Tiktoks
It's simple
You unfollowed her. Can you believe that she had too much porn?
Wow, what kind of thing is that to say? She was cool
I like her
So yeah, make me over. I'll be porto rican. I don't
See so we're gonna do josh's porto rican makeover. Do I do it for robber paul champagne? Do I show up that way?
No, I don't want to I don't want to tease him or anything. Well, he don't want we don't want him to get beaten up in the projects
Great. I think that would be yes, but would that be proper camouflage to navigate the project? Yes, it would of course it would
What are you talking about, baby? He's gonna stick out the the look the cockroach now can go anywhere and be incognito
He does he blends in right now. No, he needs to get out of the car. Hey like is this a 23 95?
You get out like that and you're and you're all in your gear
Robert, you know where two three nine five is
Like that. Yes, and I think robert sees you come in. He's like, oh
This guy's got some flavor to him. I like it. Yeah, he'll think I'm latino
Yeah, and then he'll be like do you have a job or you
Freshly out of jail. Yeah, you guys could have the whole thing take off. You don't know
Now I was going to ask you this
Would it be insulting to robert if I asked him to drink my piss when I go?
I don't think so actually I think that's a yes answer for
the rest of humanity
But I think
I think that's actually
Dude, you got to do that. Is that like a yeah. Yeah, maybe I'll maybe I'll taste my own in front of him
You have to ask
I think once you guys get a little rapport going like you're sitting there. You've given them some gifts
I'll just yeah, you go. I gotta take a piss. No, I'll say go in a cup
No, no, no, I'll say I'd be honored if you were to sample my wares
And drink my piss dude, but do you do you think robert?
I mean, I'm sorry. I just get some clarity on the matter. Do you think he enjoys drinking other people's piss?
That's what he wants. That's the question. No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Because he says piss on me beat me. Yeah, he does. He does say piss on me not piss in my mouth guys, right?
He drinks his own piss. Mm-hmm because no one came over to piss
That makes me sad second place
He wants your piss
Poor guy. I would bet you
I'll bet you money right now. What do you want to bet that if you make that offer? He's like a hundred percent, please
What if he asks me like, you know, what's my diet? He's like, I'm gonna need to know what you've been consuming in the last couple days
He doesn't want to talk about that. Well, your pee's brown anyways because you all you drink is red bull. Okay. What color is your pee?
What color is your pee? It's a moderate color. It's I'm not gonna say it's clear, but it's definitely not brown
But it's dark yellow. It's dehydrated. You're in definitely. Yeah, maybe. Yeah, it's probably strong
Will you please make that a part of the hell? Yeah, I mean, shit. I'm gonna have to pee while I'm there
Miles will do it in his cups
He's gonna love it. I promise you love you
He will
Oh, shit. I can't wait for this trip, dude. All right. All right. I can't wait
So I wanted to bring up um as I'm in I'm kind of cool now. I'm on the tiktok
Oh my god, and I also just found out there's like a new mom thing. I just found out
That not only can you rate your driver on uber?
They rate you did you know that? Yeah, I did not know that. Yeah, I did not know that
Now I'll tell you I'm a I'm a nice person
The ratings are from one to five
Correct by being the highest obvious
Now I'm just for the wreck for the record, y'all know whenever somebody delivers groceries or or door dash or whatever
I always give them a five star five star five star five star unless something egregious
You know, it's clearly like they're they're simple. You know what I'm saying or like something's
Happened. Yeah, I I vary
I usually go you're hurt. No, you're hateful. No, you're spiteful
You're spiteful if it's if it's a great ride and a great driver. It's five all the way
What is a great ride and a great driver to you? Just what does it mean to you because it is subjective? It's subjective. I just mean
You know the the person is pleasant nice, you know, um like you have a you just have a good ride
I don't know. I mean like the the the driving is not erratic
There's a lot of terrible drivers driving for uber. I know
You know, he's not slamming on the brakes switching lanes crazy
So if that happens like if if
If there's none of that person gets me from pointy to point B
nice drive
Nice person doesn't smell a lot of times. I get these
Rouskies with their cologne clean clean car clean as nice. Yeah five five star. Okay, if if they're lacking in one of those
I'll go four. Okay
Um, sometimes I forget honestly, and I just do five no matter what but yeah, that's your five
But if I if I'm aware of it, I'm like, um, that was kind of shitty the way he drove or something for
If the person's a dick or drives like a psycho, then I'll go low
Wow, you've given under a four star. Oh, yeah, of course. You've never done that. I've never done that
Yeah, it's I feel like it's either five or one star, right? I mean, yeah, that's how I do it. Wow
Well, I mean you have to really fuck up to get yeah, of course. I'm not doing it for nothing
Yeah, I need to be scared for my life to give a one star. That's true
dude's like
Jamming I can swing and land. Yeah, of course stinky car
Talking on his phone the whole time. Yeah
Checking his phone checking his phone is a complete. It's not allowed in my world. I get very upset with that. So dangerous
So I didn't realize I've never known that until recently our millennial alley told us
This is that uber drivers, right? You well, I mean, what do you mean?
I didn't know I I had no idea that under your uber profile is your review
Pid them review. I'm like you're fucking joking. So of course the first thing I do I immediately go to my uber profile
What do you think my number is I already know well, okay
I know that your because you posted it you posted it you did because I feel very proud of my number
I know one of my favorite things was as you posted it a bunch of people posted their higher scores. I know
I know, okay, so listen, so yours is 4.85 correct
Which I think out of a 4.85 out of five is pretty good. That's pretty good. Now. I'm gonna admit right now in
Shortleague city one time I canceled and I had to cancel an uber
So I think that may have can they rate you based on you canceling the ride
Really? Sure. That's not but you didn't ride with them. You sure. Maybe you canceled late or yeah
I did kind of dicked around and fucked over their time. I a hundred percent cancelled last minute
It was a dick move. It was because the weather changed. It was a long story. I had to do it
You know what I did one time. Josh says you could rate them too when you cancel
You know what I did one time
so I called an uber at a hotel and
He just you know was not there like I was running late to go to the airport
And then a car just happened to be there and the guy was
An uber driver, but he wasn't the one that I called
And I was like I got to go like are you can you drive me? He's like, yeah get in. Whoops
So I get in
As I get in the uber that's picking me up pulls up
And I go just go go go
We start going and that driver is following along. He's putting it together and he's like gesturing. Oh, shit
So I go all right. I cancel it. I go what I'll do is to like try to make this work
I'm going to request another ride as I'm in your car
And just you just accept it
He was like, okay, because he thought that would work too. So I I called it
And then the other guy accepted it again the other driver
So he's driving along next to us and he's going like gesturing like this. Oh, shit
And I was like, yeah, just fuck him. So just hit the gas man
and he's just
We just we just left him
He was in a car. I mean, he wasn't so you just pay him cash. Yeah, you pay for the ride. Okay
So here's my thing. I think 4.85 is a pretty great score. Yeah, I don't know your uber score
But I think that definitively one may deduce
Who the real personality champ is
Because this is from a pool of people that have gotten to know me at a very cursory level over time
Now I admit I made a mistake in short like titty. I remember that I don't think I've been rude to people. You know
Oh
Yeah, but I think my score will be higher than yours because I am the personality champ 4.85
Right now. Let's ask. Let's ask the staff what amongst you guys. What are your scores? I'm just curious to see what your score is
Yeah, what is it?
4.91
Damn, homie. Chris, do you know what yours is?
Oh, all right. What? Yeah, he doesn't know. Oh gosh. Does he have it you use lift?
Oh, okay. See maybe I should start using lift because this is getting in my head now. I want to get my score up
That means I have the lowest score here. Shut up. What is it? 4.81?
Is that low? Is that bad? Well, you're practically you're an animal 4.81. We don't know alleys. Do you know alleys?
I'm sure she's a she's five five. She's told me 5.0
Allie, are you listening come in and tell us your uber score if you're listening to the show or text her find out
She sent me a text. I don't know if you're watching. I think alleys got a damn near perfect score because she's that
She it's important for her. I don't know. Okay, so josh you're 4.91. You said
Damn, and then nadab you're 4.81. So you're it's egregious. See that sounds high, but I think it's oh
What's your score?
Five even five
How can I get my score up alley
I'm the personality champ. Damn. I'm already super nice. Okay. I need to get my uber score up. Okay
So let's let's recap. Dude. Mommy is I am the personality champ at 4.85 josh potter is actually
4.91. He's high up there
Blue band so far the lowest for 4.81 tom go ahead your score is and I want to verify it with my own bird eyes
Let me see your app because I think you're gonna lie. I don't trust you
I'm the true personality champ here. I know that I have a higher score than you
I just know it and I'm finally glad that there's a way to
Quantify
Go ahead. I am
Also a 5.0. Bullshit. I'm lying. I am
4.78
Yes
Yes, oh my god. He really is I knew it. I knew it. I knew it 4.78
You're a dick. You're the lowest of all of us. Yeah, I bet that guy probably didn't review me well
You know, do you think that one ride is what did your but it can't just be one bad score
It has to be a few bad scores, right? I mean, fuck does anybody know how uber works? Yeah, of course
It's gotta be more than one. No, of course. It's cumulative 4.7 average
Bro, I've got to make a fucking shirt that says 4.85 personality champ
Yeah, dude
I don't know don't you feel like we but actually josh potters the true personality champ with a four point and i'm sorry
Alley is five stars five
So i'm the third
Third place personality. That's not that great
That's it is compared to you
Yeah, but I mean look at our even here in this building. You're not even the top three
I am the top three
Whatever your third place. Yeah, but i'm still higher than you. I'm fucking happy about a bronze medal
I'm happier. I'm happy that I beat you. I knew it. I fucking knew I was a personality
Josh also said that he doesn't drive. So I mean
Yeah, he has to have that work. So he does a lot more than me probably
So wait, is he always charming them? Is he talking to him and everything? Yeah, what do you do to get a such a high rate?
I literally do not speak to uber drivers ever. That's what it is. You just have a five-star exchange. You're not
Wait, do you say do you say hey five for five?
No, I just do it right when I get out five and if they fuck me, I will haunt them
Wait, tom, do you bait them five for five? No, never. I'm going to five stars, bro. You know
No, but I heard that I heard that I don't know if this is true
That a driver like if you give them a rating and they haven't they'll see your rating of them

Guys
Guys
Oh
Okay, so it's a tandem skydiving and the
Off to the professionals in the back
The customer is in the front and the customer passed out like his eyes roll back
Instructors like how you doing man, and then he just starts vomiting
Well, he's supposed to vomit into a bag. I guess they prepare for it
But he's so out of it. He just starts puking and it's flying everywhere and the instructor's like, hey, what the fuck man
But he also can't see how out of it this customer is so right. Yeah, it gets it gets a little funnier
I think christine. You could just stomach. No, I fucking can't. I thought we were done. I don't you know
I don't
You
So he passed out and then puked while passed out and doesn't even realize that he had already thrown up all over himself
Yeah, so he was like, no man. I don't need a puke and the instructor's like, dude, you just puked all
You did already on me and in my face and mouth
I don't like that at all. That's my nightmare. Well, first of all, isn't it really dangerous?
Isn't it dangerous to vomit when you're passed out you could
Choke at the end of it. Uh-huh. That was great. No, that wasn't great
I don't know what you're laughing at psycho
reminded me of the
bad bad bite
I don't know. I think combining the russian
car scream and the vomit

That's great. Yeah. Yeah, I'll work on that. I think I got a bad bite
Yeah, I'm in such a bad mood. Is this anchor checking on the way?

Father's Day weekend and later this year american dreamer a dark thriller opening
September 20th jim gaffigan. Thank you so much. Thank you for having me. Oh my god
Yeah, we're honored jim gaffigan. You know the comedy power couple. That's right, man
It's exciting. Can I I have to fangirl out on you here. I only want you to speak in hungarian
What is the hungarian you guys are called the miguerre people my yard
It's terrible. Why does how does that get from that?
It's terrible that language is related to nothing finish an Estonian. It's like it's terrible. You don't want listen listen
I when I was a little baby comedian
I would listen to you your albums over and over again
And my very first legit booking as a comedian
You were the headliner at the hollywood improv. Oh my god. I will never forget maybe 2007 or eight
And I I was beyond member. I was like tony jim gaffigan
Highlighting and you have um, okay, you have so many great bids, obviously
But the thing I remember from that night you go
You go I was watching an alpo commercial. Come on. You know your joke all those savory chunks
I thought you're not giving that to the dog. Are you?
It's a very rare for me to discuss food
But the word the word choice of savory chunks in relation to alpo like your language is so funny and oh, thanks
Anyway, I'm laughing at that for a decade
I was getting nervous when someone's like I saw you
12 years ago. I'm like, oh no
I was hungry. I don't know
I don't know
I didn't realize we'd ever discuss the past
I always feel like when they when they bring up like the like the oldest thing that they like and you're like
Ah, that's not that good though, right? Like, oh, why do you like the old thing the shittiest thing?
Yeah, the shittiest thing that you can think like that. Oh, yeah
Or people like they're like, I like you and then this other comedian. Yeah, you don't respect. Yeah
You're like, okay. All right. I guess I'll just not count this one but uh
That's always that curse when they start listing people you're like just stop the list man
Stop the list. I know don't tell me who else you like clown that steps on balloons
I like all the artists. Oh, oh no
No, my favorite is when you do a club and then they go you're you know, this is a good weekend
But you know who we had last week
So and so and they partied with the whole staff and they had the best crowds and you're like
Why are you telling me that I know when your agent tells you who is more successful than you do
my favorite too is like when the promote like the
Promotion people will stop in the green room after the show and they'll be like talking to you about a bunch of stuff
And then you go like you're not gonna say anything about the show though
Like so it's so insecure. I like 75 minutes like you don't just say it was a masterpiece, but like are you not gonna say anything?
Yeah, what's your pet peeve? What's your comedy?
My um, gosh, I don't know. There's so many of them. I know but I've also gotten to the point where it's like
I'm just I love it so much. I've gone through like
Annoyed with travel and stuff. I mean granted me because I have five kids
So it's like a vacation so crazy, you know, but uh, I just love it
It's like I love doing the shows and I know that sounds kind of corny, but it's like every set
It's like a nice long hour. You can try out things. Yeah, you can clean it up at the end. It's great
Do you still have fun doing spots? I do. I do. I mean, well, it's like there's nothing better than coming up with a new
Joke or a new
That's the key to it though. I gotta leave now
Yeah, that's great
So I think as you know, you're obviously like you're so
well known and stand up now, but it's like
you've been
doing
A big, you know, you've been a big name and stand up for a while now
What does that mean? Does it feel surreal sometimes where you're like because I I make notes sometimes when I'm in these theaters
And I'll see you know a lot of times they have like posters from other tours
And like I'll see your name. I'm like damn like he did this shit like 10 years ago
And it feels like 10 years and stand up to be at that level feels like a long time. It's it's all a blur
I mean, it's all like, uh, but you know, you guys are
Dealing with the same thing like you sit there and you're like
You get to theaters and you're like, this is unbelievable because by the way as a comedian
I know people I like to be in clubs. I like to be in clubs. But like yeah being in a theater
A beautiful setting with people that came to see you that are not interrupted by
You know some drunk person who came from a funeral
It's like that's ideal. And then you're like, all right. How do I get these people to come back? So it's
It's uh, it's fun to kind of uh
You know try and get to the next it's all self-assignment, right?
Do you feel like the only thing though like for like your success continuing has been that you just stayed doing the work
Like you just keep
Doing, you know, I mean like just turning it over. Well, I think yeah, I mean, I feel as though, uh,
You know success can corrupt, right? Oh, yeah, but I think it's also like
You know, we all have friends that are very funny that just don't put the work in
Right, do I mean or they get lazy or you know, there's a self-destructive streak in all comedians
It's like it's the one unifying thing, right? It's like and so, uh,
You know, uh dodging some of that self-destructive stuff is pretty huge. But I don't know it's like it's you know
Stand-up is so liberating. You know, we were talking about acting and I love acting but
We can you know stand up you come up with some ideas. You can go and do them that night
Yeah, whereas like acting you're like, all right. First of all, I have to go and beg for a job
And then like a year later it might get released. So it's
It's a stand-up spoils us. Did you have that thing where the first time I had like a real acting job? I
you know, it's like a funny part and then
It's like you do it a few times and they're like I'm moving on. You're like, is that that's it
And and then I remember telling the director like did you get what you need for this? Yeah, he's like we wouldn't move on
Yeah, I was like
Makes me nervous without the approval. I need the approval. Like clap. Tell me how funny laugh at me
Yeah, no, it is weird. It's also weird when you see what they used. You're like, yeah, I wouldn't I use that
That's why like when you you know, that's why because we we're spoiled
We have complete control like there's plenty of times when I was doing
My show with my wife where I would just think to myself. This is why I'm on stage by myself
Because it's easier. I don't have to worry about
you know
Someone you know having to get their hair done perfectly or something like that. I just would you get what was um, would you have like a lot of
you know
conflicting
You know points when you guys were doing your show together not not really
I mean by the time
You know, we were doing the show on tv land
It was just I had been burned so many times through the years that I was just like no
Like people would say like a network person would be like, you know, we feel like we and I would just be like no
And they'd be like Jim don't be difficult and I'd be like then fire me. You know, I mean, yeah, it's like my name's on the show
Yeah, it's my show. Yeah
So it sounds kind of dicky, but it gets to the point where
I think it's comedians even you know, some of the power we give away when we start
You know, it's like this club owner has some notes
And then eventually you're like
You know, you kind of like sit there and go. All right, you know, you can
You can give me notes, but I'm not gonna take them
Right, right. I have so many questions for you. Yes. Okay. Where did you start?
I started in New York City. Okay over 500 years ago
I started in New York. It was like 90 1990
Yeah, it was like two years old 1990 you weren't two years old and uh
And it was not a great time for stand-up. It was like after
There was this time when there were all these cable shows like evening at the improv
So like no one there had been a comedy boom and it kind of dissipated
So there were all these comedians in no spots
And I started bought, you know, like the the semi-generation right before me was really good
Like it was Louis and a tell Kevin Brennan Todd Berry
Mark Marin like all these amazing comedians. So there wasn't much stage time. Oh, right. So those guys were already. Yeah, they were like the young
You know, uh
The hot the hot shit. So then how do you do you go on the road quickly? Yeah, we would well, you know
Greg Geraldo and I would drive to Long Island
You know, and then uh, I take the train to Connecticut, but like a lot of
That's where I definitely uh had adapted this belief. It's just stage time that I need it, you know
Because I know there's more prestigious places, you know, like you have to work at the prestigious place
But in the end, it's really just the stage. Especially at the beginning. It's such a good deal. Well, here's my biggest question
Because I featured every you know, I'm sure the same way you did across the country doing every fucking shithole
Hibachi grill
Seafood restaurant in Florida captain so-and-so's play, you know
um
And I always wondered this because my my headliners would always be these filthy filthy filthy flaring acts
And they would kill and they would just kill in these biker bars and I would get up and I had dirty joke here
Try to be smart here
And I would always ask Tommy remember I'd be like, how does a Jim Gaffigan form an act
That doesn't resort to my dick comes in my butt and I fart in my shit in my hands and you know what I think?
Because that's what people fucking laugh at. Yeah, no people do love that
But I think I don't know it's like I mean look I you know was not
You know, it took a long time to even get weekend spots in New York City. So it was
And you know, I I you know was went through a period where I cursed a lot. I tried on a lot of different hats
Yeah, I remember your filthy. I used to smoke on stage
Holy
Yeah, so it's like I tried on different things. That's when your wife was like, I like this guy
That's you know, you're trying to find your authentic authentic point of view, right? And so it's like
um, you know, so you're trying things like I tried voices I tried kind of
Moving around a lot, you know, but you know, authentically, I'm a low-energy guy. Yeah, yeah, so
But I uh, I don't know, you know, some of it it was
Just you know, yeah
No, like following someone really dirty because there were times when I initial like when you first start headlining
In comedy clubs and they give you a middle that is a crowd pleaser and you're like, oh man, I'm gonna eat it
Yeah, for 45 minutes. Yeah on that midnight show on saturday. You're like, this is just brutal
But by then you also have like a bag of tricks of like yes
How to get them but that's some of why I did
Uh, I have this inside voice where I talked for the audience was just to keep talking
Right. Yeah, there was you know, like when I started it was
I mean, I know it sounds like ridiculous, but it was it was kind of
Combat like the audience, you know now we know about youtube and
Uh, you know, you know comedy central and stuff like that
It's like now an audience knows how to behave before it's like
It was kind of combat like it was like people were like
They uh, or maybe this is how I remember it. It's like, you know, rodney danger field people the audience would yell out
You know, andrew dice clay people would yell out
So you would do shows in new york and I would go up there and I looked like john tash
So they'd be like, let's tear him apart
So I would just keep talking. Uh-huh. And that's where that whole talk to me. I mean, I I did that as a teenager
Yeah, yeah, there's gotta be there's probably nights where you realize that the uh, the inside voice was getting bigger laughs
On so nice. Yeah. Well, it was it was pretty inconsistent
Like it would work when I would like feature on the road
But in uh, in new york city, it was kind of hit or miss
And so it was one of those things like it started like right before I did my comedy central presents
I was like it was starting to work a lot, but I was so terrified to do it taping
And it didn't work. So I didn't do it. Oh
Do you ever think about too like how crazy like now it feels like when a comic breaks out
It's this huge world of like streaming everything, you know, I mean like every but like you're
your special
Getting big the first time
So it almost is like a I think a bigger deal that it wasn't
Based on everyone holding a device and being able to see it like they had to
Catch it on friday night or something. Yeah. Well, I was lucky. I was you know, uh, I think
You know, I had the manager my manager the same manager. He was with the group of managers
The the manager that handled the blue collar guys
Right and so those at the peak of the blue collar thing like they could do nothing wrong and so comedy central was
Doing our specials with them whenever, you know, larry the cable guy wanted to do a special
And so they were like, all right, you can have the blue collar guys
But you have to give jim gaffigan an hour special. So I literally got it because of an add-on
Because my manager. Yeah, because I had
Because I you know, like and again, you know talking like greg geraldo had like numerous comedy central presents
And I was like, can I do another one? They're like me, you know, we're right and so
But it was at that time that
comedy central was
You know, now there's no televisions in dorm rooms. No, but like that was like the
When comedy central was on in every dorm room, you know, like when I was in college
MTV was on and then it switched to comedy central
And now people just yeah, because there's there's comment. There's stories of you can you can track
What's big in the colleges, you know, I mean like that I know that um
Like dain was saying that when his half hour was on repeat. Yeah 24 7
That was big and like every college kid was watching that. Yes. Yeah, and then now
Now that even though they're not watching comedy central, they're streaming
Like malaney
Huge college audience though. I mean my 15 year old daughter watches malaney like nightly. Wow. I'm like you're watching him again
She's like, yeah, it's great
All right
Now so you said that so this is okay. Sorry I have a
Uh
So you find after trying all these things you're not the dirty guy
You're not the in your face. People that are just better at it. Absolutely. I mean, oh, oh, so you were like I tried political too
Yeah, so but then you you land on this thing of like so
Essentially what I did when the first time I did stand up
I ended up going back to being this guy
From a small town in indiana who kind of does observational self deprecating stuff
Right and so yeah, and that's who you are
And that that's your core like you're your guy who likes naps and snacks. Yes. That's
You're being no but like underneath at all a lot of anger. Is that right? Of course. Yeah
Well, yeah, so okay. Let's talk about that because I'm so fascinated by that about you
So do you never I think most comedians are furious rage inside of me. Yeah, so much of it
And it's like if we didn't get that dopamine rush, we would be serial killers
I would chop bodies up. I swear to god, right
I would I've thought about stalking and following people home because there's so much injustice. Yeah, right
And so like when rage is right below the surface, man, and it's it's being articulate being able to articulate
the injustice. I think that kind of
Makes us kind of
Not kill people. Yeah. Oh, I think about that too that sometimes that feeling you ever get like, you know
It's easy to say like it was a great show that felt good
Yeah, but sometimes you like you have a you go that was a great show and then you're like
That was really a relief, right? Right, right? You actually feel like you emptied something out on certain nights
I feel like yeah, it's amazing the transformative power of doing a show or coming up with it
I think coming up with a line or even a joke
It's like I'm good. I'm good for like
Three days
Yes, I also find totally when you come up with a new thing and you're like I'm on the high of this good accomplishment
I'm a good person. It starts to
Stir for me when I haven't done
A new thing in yeah long enough. So that makes depressing. Oh, yeah
I've like I'm doing material and it's but like I feel like I something new hasn't come out of me in a while
I start to feel badly. Yeah. No, it's strange
It's a strange kind of uh, and that's again, I think we're spoiled and then you'll and I love acting
But like when I think of like the actor's lifestyle, it's just insane or even sketch comedy
I'm like so you have to like
Negotiate with people on how what part you can do. Yeah, I mean that's also um
I mean, you know
I feel as though like navigating the entertainment industry like I don't live in LA
And and some of it is like I just know better that like being in I get caught up in the
hierarchy of uh
You know, it's kind of an a no-win situation. Like I think some people are more mature at
Being able to see that it's stupid. But yeah, but that bothers you the hierarchy the bullshit
It's it's just uh, you know, it's well, you know, I'll probably get in trouble for saying this
But I think stand-up is really kind of a meritocracy. That's not to say that there isn't
Injustice and sexism and all this stuff like that. But like you either go on stage and you get laughs
So you don't right right and so even even the filthy guys
That would kill it's like they're doing the job. Yeah, do I mean so whereas like
But the rest of like how the zeitgeist is so excited for this moment of like
That's like that's something that's the worst. I think it's fascinating
But I also think that that's not productive
Yeah, the you mean when they they grab the industry gravitates towards a type of thing because it's right now
That's the thing and let's all hey, that's amazing. You're like, okay
They present it like that, you know, it's like I remember even like growing up. I love the carol brunette show
And so like even when they were like
You know the success of 30 rock and they're like finally a woman with a show. I'm like my hero was carol brunette
Yeah, you know, I mean like what about lucille ball? So it's like but I understand that they have to do the articles
It's just like when I get caught up in some of that stuff and I'm just like
You know, it's like, you know, it's not it's
Stand-up is a meritocracy, but the entertainment industry is insane. It's insane. It's totally crazy making and it can make
Yeah, it can make you insane before you ever think about how
Um, you know, like you're this very successful comic you're doing
Acting now and I sometimes I stop I think about how in a way difficult it must be
To continue stand-up for certain people in that some of the biggest stand-ups ever
Uh got success in acting and they were like, I never want to see stand-up again
Like, you know, I mean like jim carrey eddie murphy
robin wames would dabble in and out
But like as soon as like entered like hollywood was like, yeah, you can do it
They were like i'm good
Like that stand-up thing can you know, and yeah, they were making a lot of money doing the acting
But they could have killed it continuing to do
Yeah, yeah, but they still are like but I think too because stand-up in our industry
It's not seen as an end in and of itself
It's never good enough like if you just say to your managers your age
I just want to be a great stand-up. Well, you don't want to do movies
You don't want to do the television show and the thing and the thing it's never enough. It's a strange
Yeah, but it is weird. I almost feel like when
Uh, you know cosby who of course is a great hero
Obviously no when cosby came back or seinfeld came back
People are like, can you believe it? They're doing stand-up and i'm like, well, of course they are
That's who they are. You know like jerry seinfeld is
The quintessential comedy nerd like I could talk to that guy for 12 hours a day just about stand-up
And it's it's one of those things like
You know stand-ups. I think are are pretty uh
They're you know, they're driven insightful people, but we could also we could make money
Doing something else. So it's not like we're doing this for money. Right. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, anyway
What I'm trying to say is we're great people. We're the best
um, you mentioned the anger stuff and I
I grew up in los angeles for the most part of my life and I didn't get to know america until I toured
And I loved the midwest because people are so nice
Yeah, right like even in minnesota. There's that minnesota nice thing
And then what you said though, I mean, is there just a quiet rage in the midwest or was what makes you angry?
What's your anger? Well, I mean, I've had different philosophies on it. I think that uh,
I think that letterman used to
Encapsulate a lot of that midwestern
Kind of like i'll be polite
But you'll know I hate you. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, and he used to kind of and he got a little bit more angry at the end, but
Um, I kind of like it though. I love it. I guess it feels familiar. So I like yeah
It's so I think that there's something
But that's even like, I mean, you know, I've uh, you know, and I
No one looks more midwestern than me. I guess but like I just like I think there's this dismissiveness
of like
The the rest of the country that like I still cringe at there was a time I auditioned for
um
A pilot that was set in green bay
And I was on that 70s show and one of the writers
This woman was like i'm doing the show about my family. I grew up in green bay
And I want you to audition to be my dad and I was like great
And so then I uh read the script and I then you I'm sure you guys have gone through the network test thing
Well, you have to go through 5 000 hopes
And so I went to this network test and I was standing outside the audience and this guy went in
and he um
It's and I was talking to him before and you know, you're all nervous and he was like, um
He's like i'm from new york city. I don't know anything about
Wisconsin i'm like, oh, you know, it's just a it's just a regular person that we're playing, you know a dad
And he and he went in and he did like a ridiculous
like character that was
Really kind of insulting and it killed
It killed in the room
Of los angeles because everyone in that room
Was from los angeles and they were like that's a new york city. That's a wisconsin dad
And I went in and I did it kind of how I would do it and I remember in that moment. I was like, oh these people just
They don't get it now, you know, it's I know that sounds kind of uh very trumpian, but it's just
It's the dismissiveness of like these are intelligent people
That uh, you know, I don't know. I'm just kind of like no, you're you're right. It's like, I don't know
I've had great shows
In alabama. Yeah, you know, I mean I've had great shows in you know
Small towns in ohio. It's like it's kind of like
this uh
This dismissiveness that I think is like
And that's what gets you fired up. Do you think I think I think there's there's this belief particularly I grew up in indiana, which is like
You know indiana when I was growing up it's changed
But like you used to have to apologize to people from melanoi that you were from indiana. Yeah, so it was like, uh
So there's that kind of low self-esteem but kind of um
Whereas like if you're from like the ghetto in new york, you can have pride around it. Yeah, that's true. It's like I'm from the Bronx
I'm awesome
Whereas like indiana, you're like sorry
Oh, no, no, I think that there's a lot of that
I think I do think that letterman encapsulated a lot of it too
Which was he also had that thing it was like
And it's pretty like juvenile way of summarizing it but like where he was I'm polite. I know how to
I'm I know how to act but like if you don't know how to act you can go fuck yourself
You kind of had a big thing and I think also he was like I'm gonna make fun of you. Yeah
You're gonna be in on it
And it's not vicious. Right. Whereas I think that
There is uh, you know, which is different from like just completely vicious. Yes, that's true
Yeah, it's it's not just like
Destroy at all. Right. It's not just like those people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah are the worst
Yeah, I mean, yeah, but you grew up catholic
You talk about that a big catholic family and where your parents funny. Were they fun? Really? No, I mean my mom had a great laugh
But like it was but I was one of six kids and so humor was
An important thing, but it wasn't like we were like
Praying at dinner every moment. Do you know what I mean? It wasn't that catholic
It was more culturally catholic like my wife is the one that's catholic
And but it's like I'm sure like
Hungarians I'm culturally we're culturally catholic. Yeah, we're hung up my parents are roman catholic
So are his and we got married in a catholic church, but we don't practice like it was really just for the sake of his mom
It took a while to uh, like they're they're they're devastated
My parents. Oh, so your parents are pretty devout. They're pretty catholic. Yeah, they're pretty devout and they
You know, they they really tried for a long time
And I remember I remember the day where I was like, oh, they they gave up was when I went home to visit
And it used to be like no matter what college even in my 20s
If you visited and you're there on a Sunday, you're going yeah, I was like I was there on a sunday
I must I don't know. Maybe I was like 30 or something and then
Uh
It was the morning like I heard them like I heard them and you know in the kitchen
And then they just left
And then they came back but that it wasn't that they didn't wake me up
Is that they didn't mention it after they didn't go like
Well, you missed they didn't do anything. Oh, that's I was like that was the that was the day that
It's so interesting. You know, look, I never thought that I mean by the way, there's nothing cooler than being catholic
I mean, look, that's how you get friends, right?
And but uh, I lived across from in New York City
I lived across from a catholic church for 10 years never went into it
Yeah, and then my wife and got married in that same church. So it's like
You know, I was not, you know, like I remember like being in my 20s and my dad would like say grace
And I'm like, do we need to do this? So it's like I've gone from different edges of it. You know, I mean and it's
In some ways, it's kind of uh, I don't know. My wife is uh, is a big influence on me and
Well, she was a she's a devout catholic. She's yeah, she's the real deal. Wow
She's the real deal and it's interesting. She's writing this book about
Going through this having a brain tumor
And she helped me with the two books I wrote and I was like, you want me to help you? And she's like, no, it's okay
She's like, I know how to write unlike you. And so um,
But like it's there's
There's religious stuff in it and I'm like, okay. Yeah, so it's it's weird because like it's authentic. It's authentic
and it's and you know, like you get into like
medical emergencies, even my friends that were like our devout atheists
They're like, I'm praying for your wife and you're like, yeah, didn't you just give me shit for going to church?
Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, but it's all good now. Do you feel like with five kids?
It's that you were essentially like recreating what you wrote with
it's
I mean it is I mean it's it floor it floors us now
Yes, we're at two and we're like well done
It we sometimes we joke wouldn't that be insane if we had a third kid, but but the shop is closed, bro
Like five
Yeah, what's the fifth one deliberate?
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, no, it is and by the way, I wouldn't trade any of them in you know, I might not even like the third
I might even uh, you know as much as I complain about it, but it is
It's amazing, but it is
So hard like the road ahead for you guys
Stop stop like it's gonna be like I know you're in shape now, tom
It's over. Yeah, it's over. It is brutal. It's brutal
You know when you wake up and you're just like I didn't get any sleep. Yeah, it's that for most of your 40s
No
Oh
Fuck I was because someone told me like oh my my kid sleeps in on the weekends and I'm like, when does that happen?
When do they sleep past six people are like my kid sleeps till 10?
What yeah, but then they're up with the baby till 10 p.m. It's so weird also because I you know what I love about comedians
Eventually having kids is
We're not supposed to
We're not supposed to like we were the people that were like that's the dumb idea. Yeah, and it's almost
You know, it's it's just a strange thing because particularly I mean I see it on instagram
I scroll through and I'm like yep. All right. She's having a kid. You know like these women
I know that are very funny that like I saw in their mid 20s going like my friends had babies and they're stupid
I'm like
Climb aboard the train. I went down
But uh, they're cheap though, right like as they get older
Oh, they're very cheap. Yeah, and they're like they have no problems and they stay the same. They don't change
Like if they're really quiet, they always stay quiet. Yeah, that's great. You know, they all like, you know, they're the potty training ends at three
Oh, great
A lot of cool things to look forward to so are you you're still not sleeping is what you're telling me?
When I travel I sleep. That's the secret. Yeah. Well, it's
I mean, I don't know. It's like
You know, it's it's I mean, there's part of me. It's like people that are watching this
They don't want to pounding right now. They don't want to hear this stuff. Yeah
Because I remember being in my 20s
and seeing
Ray Romano talk about his wife and kids on stage and just going I feel sorry for that guy
And I was like, I can't get a date. What is this? So it's like there's part of me
It's like I'll talk about it
Some in my act, but like if you do it too much
Yeah, the people in their 20s are like see you to bummer. Do you know what just hit me right now too?
I just remembered this is that obviously we live in this this time now, you know, this is like the
The high point of outrage culture and people get offended and and there's petitions and there's more than ever for sure
and one of the things that
To me best summarize the absurdity of the current times
Was when there was outrage over your horse jokes
Remember on this
So he Jim did I didn't know there was outrage. Oh my god. It was so great. He did a piece for I think it was a cbs
CBS sunday cbs sunday where he was like he was, you know, it was the Kentucky Derby
Jim gaffigan jokes about horses and the hats and just like it was really like a well constructed well executed jokes
About this and the equestrian community. No
And I was like, I remember reading it and I was like, is this like at first I was like, this is a sketch
Like this is a parody. Yeah, and then I started to read more. I was like, this is serious
Yeah, I know there were people and they're like, how dare you cbs?
Like there were there were people that
Would sick people on me, you know, like there was and some of it is there their owner they in their defense they felt
threatened by
Me attack. By the way, you want to know another one? I did one about
a beer
about
Uh, you know, uh boutique beer things. Yeah, where I just said they all taste bad. Yeah
Furious furious furious like paced magazine
Just a whole essay on how like I'm satan really like are we like paced you think? Oh, they're normal. Yeah. Yeah. No
No, an idiot. Yeah, but I mean like that to me in a in a way is really comforting
Do you know what I mean? Like when you see the outrage over like jokes about horses and hats
You're like, all right, like we should kind of just lean into this. It's just it's it's it's fascinating because I'm
And by the way, we all have friends that are flamethrowers, right? Yeah, but you had it with like louisiana, right? Sure and more, you know
Yeah, but yeah, but yes and a few topics
And there's there'll be a few more coming but now I learned from that. That was actually a great learning experience
What did you learn? I learned that the outrage it's like it's like a like fireworks going off
And you know, everyone goes like holy shit and you look at it
And then like, you know, all of a sudden when you're watching a fireworks show, you're like, are they is it over?
And you're like, yeah, it's over. It's like that. It's like a wave of you gotta you have to
The the thing I learned is like you don't engage the outrage, right?
It's it's it's like there's certain calluses that develop where you're like, all right. That's just a couple idiots. Yes
That's just a couple idiots
That uh, that's not a reflection of everyone. Yeah, I mean because I did a whole episode of a show
Uh, uh, that was about a tweet. I did my wife had gotten her nails done
And she was like see and I was like, I don't care about your nails
And I did a tweet about how like
You know, I don't care men don't care about women's nails and
the nail community came out
And it was but it was like I think it was like at that time tumblr
800,000 retweets. Oh my gosh 800,000. You don't care about nails. Yeah, but it was just and I think like someone
Like some professional football player even was like, I think nails are beautiful. Jim like and I was like it was
I think it was a tight end for the 49ers or a receiver for the 49ers, but I was like, this is just absurd
Yeah, just the outrage the outrage over a nails
I know and your act is not like you said you're not a flamethrower and for people to find problems with
Jim gaffley, but there's always people that are angry and then there are people that are angry because I'm not a flamethrower
They're like, yeah, he doesn't yeah, he doesn't curse. Yeah
I don't like him because he doesn't curse
Like really this is does it bother you that much? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, it's just it's fucking
He's he's he's he's interfering with my he's censoring me by not cursing himself
He should curse more so that I'm entertained
Well, when we first sat down before we started rolling
Tom made a cum joke and I was like, oh you made a cum joke in front of Jim gaffley
Yeah, but it's not like I'm a priest. Yeah, and he said he goes. I'm not Joel Osteen. I'm like, well, yeah, of course
But it is weird because I remember like I think it was um
Doug, I mean, it's weird. I've known people for like 30 years
And then uh, like I'm trying to think Doug Benson. I was sorry. I was talking to Doug Benson
He goes well, and he was talking about anthony jesslin next show back when he had that show and he was like
Well, you would never go on there and I go. Why wouldn't I go on there? They're like, well, it's dirty
I'm like, I'm not you know, I'm not like pbs kids
Do you I mean it's like this is
It's weird because I think we just attach
These points of view to people, right? Well, here's my problem because I am such a toilet mouth and a toilet mind
And I've been told my whole career, you know, well, you know, I've been till I got more successful
Like you really shouldn't curse Christina. You know, you really give me much more accessible and I'm like, yeah, but
I don't know. I can try to be that person. I'm not that person. I'm a toilet mouth
By the way, I would I think that the you know, and again, I think comedians just do what they do
And then they get credit or criticism for it. Like people are like David Cross is so brave. I'm like, I know David Cross
That's his opinion. Yeah, that's how he is just saying what he thinks
Yeah, and uh
But like I think that you know, it's I think actually the fact that I'm not clean
Has probably hurt my career. I think it's like people like there's never no reporter wants to write an article on a clean comedian
Right. Oh, yeah, you know, he's you're not gonna believe what he didn't say
It's like there's nothing sexy about it. Right, right, but you're not a big cursor in real life
Are you not a person but then the the flip side like the the advantage?
I guess you would say that you get from having your act is that
Like you can you know a group might buy eight tickets to the show because everybody hugely six
Well, you know, it wasn't I mean I I removed the cursing
Uh because jesus told me yeah, and then uh, I but I also removed it because I was doing
I was doing this thing called pale force where I would be on conan
Once a month back when he had the late show
And I was writing material
And I realized that I had to remove these curse words to go on tv
And I realized at least for me. It's like oh, that was just I just was I wasn't done writing the joke
So I removed it so then I put it in there
But I always think it's strange when people talk about uh
That you know like but it's not as if and there is and believe me as somebody who has
kids
And believes in jesus. No as someone who has kids. It is nice to like
Uh that my kids could watch my stuff. Yeah, they don't have to be like dad. Why'd you say that?
But something to look forward to
But but there is something but it's not as if like we live in this age where
There's so much
Cursing
That people are like I'd like to go to a theater and not hear someone cry. Do you know what I mean?
It's like it's a it's a false idea that I mean there. I'm sure there are some people that are like
I you know, but in the end it's just funny. Yes, it doesn't matter. You're so funny
Well, that's what's so special about you because my lane of comedian is the filthy
I tell you know, I want to hear horrible stuff and for I was
Was and I'm so into you and I love your humor and I love
Your sexuality. No, I love how you're so funny without like I used to love when you when you did the can't can't
We still say can't cunt. Oh, that's that funny. Is that your dad's dad, right? Yeah, that's right
Uh christine
P is that short for pollock? What is that?
Sagoosha
I love you when you played for the uh raven
Can't cunt can't cunt
But I grew up doing that was like doing an impression of my dad was
How I uh, that was how I won over my siblings
Like what was like when you started doing like being funny as a kid?
What did you do? Did you do imitations to your parents? Definitely. Yeah and teachers and stuff and I think I think now too
I think some of the biggest reactions I get right now on stage are is like making fun of my parents. Yeah, right?
So universal. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, I'm doing a show in budapest. Oh, hey, so is this one
When are you going? Oh the same night?
We were in vegas the same night. I didn't realize really really this weekend
What time of year are you going to the summer? I'm doing the great. Well, can you tell them about me when you're there?
Yeah, it seems to be a slow trickle
Summer's great in budapest. You're gonna love it. Yeah, I prefer buda over pash. No, I don't know
I just know there's two of them. So you've been there a bunch, right? Yes. My both my parents escaped from there in 1969
Oh my god. They're like hardcore fucking commies. Yeah. Have you been before? I've never been are you bringing the whole fam?
Uh, yes, yes, you just did. I was well. I think it was instagram. You did asia, right? Yeah, that was amazing
And you did shows everywhere. Oh, it's amazing. You guys gotta do it. It's amazing
I mean, I just love I just love different cultures and stuff like that. So it's like how is it now?
I mean, obviously like the world has changed and like comedy is huge
But is it like are you are you telling you tell the agents like set up thailand and vietnam?
Let's just see what happens
Yeah, more or less. I mean, it's not like a huge
Uh, you know winner. Yeah, I mean like it's like 600 people in soul korea
But that's still great. So I'm sure I'm losing money, but it's like, yeah, it's like it's a big game going to soul
You know and then that's right off
But uh, yeah, so it's it's fascinating. Yeah, and it's also like they're the international comedy community
Or english-speaking I should say they're cool group
Do you know I mean they're in it for the right reason, right? Do you know I mean like they're I'm not going there crossed arms
Like what's this? Well, no, but even like the comedians like even like I did a show in paris. It's like they're
You know, they're they're kind of like the same comedy nerds that we are
You know, I mean they're like and you know, they open and they do uh, some of them are really funny
You're like, dude, you have to leave shanghai and they're like, yeah, I don't know my wife's here
By the way, we're going back to so that I guess was it a bit at 07
When the um blue collar guys were huge and beyond the pay. Is that right? I think it was around 06. Yeah 06
um
Did because you know so many specials come out. Were you caught off guard by
The success of yours. Will you bring up beyond the pale the cover? So great. I didn't um, I was uh
I again like there were all these comedy, uh
There were all these comedy
Half hour so like and I felt like that I was kind of blown off
Yeah, so I was kind of ready for it that one of them but the success. No
Yeah, no, I didn't know that uh, because before before it blew up. Were you just doing like regular club weeks?
Yeah, and like I remember I was doing uh
You know, I would sell out at clubs, but my manager was like
We're gonna I'm gonna I want to do some theaters and I'm like, you know, all right. I mean like I mean believe me
I love the idea, but I was like
Don't be you know
Don't be disappointed if no one goes to a theater. Yeah, and uh, but it's it's amazing. Yeah, I mean that
Theater experience is pretty amazing. It's amazing. Um, since you're you know, she pointed out you're
Jim Caffigan, who knows how you'll respond to something
Dirty, I figured I would show you one of my all-time favorite. Is it the farting? No, don't do this to Jim. Yeah
Why that's all right? Who is that? This is um, well, he's a really cool guy. Yeah, and I'll just let him take it from
If you've had any kind of erectile
Disorder problems. I'm here to tell you
Forget that bag or forget about salads forget about dick and plants and all that stuff
So I don't know if you believe you're not
But if you like to see me smoke some math with a small limp dick that doesn't get harder the other way and watch it
You're harder and harder the more I smoke the harder my dick gets. It's unbelievable. You're gay
You won't believe how good it feels if you're straight. You won't believe how good it feels
Your dick head becomes so sensitive that you don't need lube. You don't need spit
You just stroke that dick head this up and down four times
Do it in your shoot and I mean I'm generous
This information
Yeah, I like the camera angle
Yes spotting it. Got it. He's like, he's like, I don't want to give away where we are
Good sound, but he's good friend. I don't want to give away where where do you think he is?
So does he have his own channel? I don't think so because it's like shortly after we we profiled him
He took it down. So did he send this to you guys? No, no somebody found it and then he kind of like hey your mom's house
I know you guys occasionally
What so like someone just found it people people essentially work as associate producers, right?
And they send in tons of it's too bad that he also didn't do the horizontal thing
But you know, he he wore the beanie
Um, and he whist he's whist how old is he by the way? He's 20
But math has had a
It makes it look 63. Yeah, he's he's worn out the the cool thing is because I also thought about that you have siblings
So, um, there's a boy something my brother didn't believe me
But when he smoked with me he put at his dick. I can't believe how big his dick was
He jacked off in four strokes and shot the most count on every shot
I just say that, you know, I mean, you know, this is uh
A helpful, uh, you know, he's out there helping people
That's how we see it. He's like, you know, like there's this stereotype of meth heads
Not wanting to help the community, right? But but he's out there and he's helping his brother
You know, I mean, it's like we have siblings you want to look out for your brother and his brother and you know
His brother didn't believe me believes me now, you know, it seems like the whole family is just killing it
Right. They're doing great. Everyone's doing great. Yeah brutal
Yeah, it's so wait a minute. Jeff Ross got all the farting ladies and I get the meth guy who's jerking off
Yeah, I remember Jeff's face the whole time
is
Is this okay?
Is so like this guy
It looks like he's just robbed a house or something too
Well, we've had theories that he's a lot of people someone said that he's probably in a halfway house right now
And that's some of the hold on I just saw something brand new look to his right there
There's like a leash thing hanging down there. What is that like a do rag tie?
Look, what is that? Is that the cap that's got a tie and
It's you know what I mean? Yeah. No, it seems like one of the shoulders is a little bit higher up
That's true. There could be some type of injury there. Maybe he's in a recovery center
He's not jerking off walley
Oh
So is he on meth or like this is like, you know what? I'm oh here. Let's watch some more. Oh you watch more
I just don't have that relationship with my brother
Do you know what I mean? Like yeah, it's pretty unique. I don't like have dinner with them like once a year, but like
I
Wouldn't even I don't even you know, I'm embarrassed to say I don't even know what my brother's dick looks like
No, I'm just kind of I guess I don't know my brother like
He knows well the thing about him too is that you know, his brother didn't just pull out his dick in front of him
Yeah, but a like he couldn't believe how big his dick was and then his brother immediately
Jerked off right in four strokes. It's like is this part of a larger infomercial format?
We were we were wondering that
And so like do you think like he's like, you know, a lot of people are dealing with erectile dysfunction. Yeah
What can we do? This is my PSA
Where I'm gonna just get the info out there. Yep
And people are gonna be like maybe he's like, you know what that's how I'm gonna get some free meth
Maybe it could be have you ever smoked meth? I have not have you?
No, that's no
I don't think it had even existed. Do you ever do were you ever into drugs? I've done drugs
Yeah, I've done drugs. What's your jam my jam? I don't know back in the day downers
I'm gonna go downers in case my kids watch it. I've never done. I mean never done drugs. Yeah
I've uh, I one time I had um
I had a glass of uh, dandelion wine
Oh, I'm psychotic like everyone else. Yeah, their kids your kids are so bummed out watching you right now
They're like, oh, well now as they get older, you know, it's like there's things where you're like, don't do this
Don't do that. And they're like why because you did it and you're like
Yeah
People always want to have like this open and honest relationship. Yeah, I don't know
But like my 15 year old daughter. She's going to a party. I'm like just remember
Evil people are out there
Do you know me? Yeah, they are. I agree. I think it's right to tell them stuff like that are horrible beasts
That's true. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I wouldn't even let a male swim instructor
Touch our three-year-old. He's taking swim lessons. Yeah, and I'm like, no, no, you send a girl
Don't you send me a guy to touch my three-year-old? No way some guy or a male nanny get the fuck out of here
No, you're seeing that on care.com when you're looking for a man. Never would you ever hire a male babysitter?
Never look five kids retired every
Your satan is fine
Come on. Just don't burn the kids. Somebody's gonna watch these kids. But yeah, no, like it's
It's interesting like the the helpers
You'll get people that will have the most incredible resume. They're like, so you have an advanced degree in
Children services and and then they come and they're like, he's talking too loud. I have to leave
Yeah, and then the person who has never like didn't graduate middle school, right? Like they're the perfect. Yeah. Yes
Um, you talk so much about food. Yes
How come you're not like 500 pounds? I am 500 pounds. You carry it. Well, I'm at uh, you how'd you lose all the weight?
You work out. He does he starve himself now?
No, no, just works out and we rained it in and I just it I just rained it in dude
There was an error. I'm still a mess though. Tell him about the pecan pie era. That was the best
I got there's two. There's two things I learned to cook that really fucked us up. Yeah, one was the pecan pie
We got it from Burt Christcher's wife's grandmother's recipe. Yeah, and I was like every night
I was like try to try to make it better tonight, you know and just like kept working on it
Like this is the perfect one and then one time I was like, I think we had seven this month
You know I do gain like 22 pounds
And then the other time on a birthday she got me a french cooking class like a one day kind of thing
And there you know, there's like 10 things I was like the one thing that really got down was chocolate souffle
I was making them at home
But really trying to master them and like, you know messing with like the heat and the you know the amount of the
Chocolate and and I was just people would come over. I'll be like chocolate souffle is for everybody
Making them over and over well that and then remember we got fat in Africa
We're the only people that was actually I had a I had that joke for that the rest of that tour
Because I would go up like first or second
I'd be like i'm the only guy that's ever gotten fat in Africa because we both had to buy new pants
Yeah, and then when I went to the department store in like Johannesburg
They're like these are the biggest pants that africa has like africa doesn't make bigger pants
And that's what I had to buy because it was like a three week tour and I gained so much weight
I couldn't wear my own pants. And so what so why did you gain weight? What were you eating?
We were every day every night
After after the show, you know how it is too when you come in especially on like a group tour
You're a guest. Yeah, and like, you know, the people are so not and they're every night
They were like feast like every night feast for you. Yeah, and I was just and I used to then too. I mean
You're like, aren't you talking to me or I could just eat I could just eat
But I also I think now a little bit at least I have that sense of like, you know, try to keep it like
Try to cut a little under control. Well, plus there's no breakfast buffet every morning. Yes, you know at the hotel
We always talk about like when you were pregnant. We did this but
Yeah, no, you gain weight when you're around a program. You've got five. Did you gain the sympathy weight every time?
I love it. Well, it's also it's sympathy. We wait and then there's also
Like when you're when you're breastfeeding you're starving
Yeah, so you're like get me something to eat and then you're like, all right, you're gonna have that
But it's I don't know. It's out of control. I I have a favorite food
Oh, so many of them. I don't know a good cheeseburger is pretty
From where where do you go?
You know, I like, um
Shake shack in New York and I like in and out and then where I grew up. There's this place called shoops
Which is just insane. I don't know what it's made with like just grease
It's just unbelievable. But some of it. It's just I go through periods like
I'm not even I haven't been working out. I used to like
I used to try
It's all I try to do is it's also like I get done with this show and I'm like, all right. Well, what am I gonna do?
I'm not gonna go to a bar. So I'll just eat a yeah steak meal. Of course
Is that your jam? Yeah after the show you order a steak to the room and then oh well
I like I've gotten I've gotten here's the thing about
I've been uh room service is kind of like gotten a little icky for me
Like I've just thought too much about how like it's down
And then someone's taking an elevator up and it's like so I like to be in a restaurant
Oh, okay. Yeah, but it's like problem. You know, if it's like 11 o'clock. What's open? Oh, yeah, of course
And then
You the and if you've waited like I don't like to eat pre-show
Yeah, that the longer you wait and then you're finally gonna eat then you're actually
Hungrier. Yes, and then you just really go and then they bring a basket of bread
Oh the fucking bread and it's over
Did you know phyllis dillard used to travel with a suitcase that had a portable
Stove top and she would bring pots and pans and she would cook in her hotel
Where I'm like fresh pasta or fresh something and whoever was touring with her
She would cook for everybody in the hotel room. Isn't that the coolest thing you should start that?
That's amazing. You know what I heard. I heard that
Bob Hope got a massage every single day of his life. What?
You can do that. I want to get a massage every and I'm like, he did seem real chill
He was
He got a massage every single day. Wow. That's awesome. It's nice. I take take my hat off. I want to do that
Do you think bob hope and phyllis dillard hooked up? I think probably I don't know
I don't know that that whole era back then
Yeah, phyllis dillard was great like talk about eating some shit. She probably ate some massive amounts of shit
Yeah, she was self deprecating
A woman in an era like that there must have been a lot of shit
I want to ask you about this because you know, you've put out so many specials
Um, you have a lot of well known and celebrated bits. How do you deal with like do the fucking thing?
The hot pockets do hot pockets. I know it varies. Um
It's a weird thing about the hot pocket thing is like I'm not doing it now. Yeah
because I'm uh
I have a special coming out. I have this amazon special coming out. Hopefully august
And so the first original right? Yeah. Yeah. And so like once that special happens, there will be
The new material it's like it's all like if people come to a show
It has to be new material. Yes, but then again, but to your point of like
There is like the 12 year old there. That's I just want to hear the old stuff
So I've done hot pockets as an encore. I've done bacon as an encore. I've done. Do you do encores?
You know, it's it's some of it as my wife comes from the theater world. So the encore stuff not always
But now, you know, since I have like essentially all this material
From the special and I have a bunch of new stuff
I can do like an hour 10 and then just get off but like
If it's if the new material is shorter
Say like an hour
Then I'll do an encore and come on and do something old and they love it. Yeah, they do
And some of it is it change the you know, the hot pockets when I do do it is
It's expanded so much from beyond the pale like beyond the pale. It was like three minutes and now it's like
Eight minutes. Wow, because there's so many hot pockets that have come out
You know, they they had a recall, you know, there's the hot pocket sliders. It never ends hot pocket sliders
I didn't know that. Yeah, there's everything hot pocket. Even like I haven't done a joke on this even one of the
People that got caught buying their kid into school
Was a hot pocket heiress. No
Now you got a whole new lane. I didn't even know you could be an heiress of hot pockets, but
Man
There's fucking ten minutes right there
Did you so when so beyond the pale comes out and did you suspect that hot pockets was the hit jam?
Like did you suspect as you were doing it live like oh, this is gonna take off? It's you know, it's
You know, I had this joke that
People would like when I was doing clubs before
Beyond the pale. I would do this joke the manatee joke which people would be like
Dude, you gotta do or like if I didn't do it people would be like I drove
I drove like 30 minutes and you didn't do the manatee joke
So I thought that the hot packets thing was much it was gonna be like
The manatee joke. I didn't know but it it's ended up
the timing of uh
Me that those hot pocket jokes and the explosion of
Hot pockets being the thing that like everyone ate in every dorm room
Like it was all right. It was just coincidence timing. Oh my god. That makes perfect sense
And that's the the audience who's watching you on television on commie central door in college
It was oh my gosh. It was the 7-eleven burrito
But like and then then it was ramen noodles
Yeah, right and so the hot pockets was just easy
For you know, like whether you're in college or you're single. It was just easy to eat that that's so true
And that's why that resonated so much with young people like oh, yeah, that's my gee. I love
And it's like it didn't really even exist before like I remember I tried it as a joke
At carolines and uh vick henley
What I was like and no one in new york knew what a hot pocket was I just knew it from tv
and uh
And he was like that's funny and i'm like but none of these people know what a hot pocket is
And then I just started kind of expanding on it
You know what I like is that you put the emphasis on different parts like I call it a hot pocket
Say hot pocket. You say it differently. You say hot pocket. I say hot pocket. What is it?
You say hot pocket. I say that's a hot pocket and you say hot pocket. It is weird how like
I mean, I've done like
A lot of specials and then there's some people. Oh, it does is the hot pocket joke. I'm like, you know, there's like seven other specials
Yeah, yeah, there's other jokes that crazy thing is too is like, you know
When sometimes after a show and you meet people and they're like
You didn't you didn't do it though. You're like
Jesus man. It was a fucking 80 minute show. Yeah standing. Oh and like like that's it and they're like, yeah, but you know
You didn't say bikes
You didn't do it. I guess kind of my money back. Yeah, it is weird
But and the eye kind of the eye they're like, that's disappointing. You know, well, you also you also
I mean, at least for me, I definitely want when I do a theater
I want people walking out of that theater going
That was great. And also as parents. Yeah, that was worth my time
Some people only go one night off a month. Yes, you know, I mean, so it's like that's valuable time even more than the money
You want them to work out being like that was so great and like the best
I think the best kind of tweet or message a comic can get is like, I can't wait till you
Yes, exactly. Yeah, thank god. Yeah. So what's the grossest thing you love to eat like secret
Secret thing I'll tell you mine. Yeah one thing I love doing at home
Goulash goulash
I cut cheese um like a block I get a block of cheddar and then I'll cut off like a like a chunk and then I'll put that on a plate
I'll put it in the microwave and then I'll melt it down until like all the cheese kind of laces
And I let it harden just a little and then I'll just eat it right off the plate
Jesus sometimes with a cracker too, but that's sometimes but how is that gross? You're like, I like my cheese melts
You're like, I do this crazy thing
I'll take my ham and I'll put it on a piece of bread
It's like but uh
But I think my my gross thing is just the volume
Yeah, the volume like we're like like I love cheese so much and you know
And so then we switch to triskets and hummus
You know and like but like I'll like there are times like we're my desk area
My wife will be like what that because they'll be like different trisket boxes
It's just like well, this one was half empty and then I was really hungry that I'm starting on a third one
It's just in volume. Yeah, you think I was murdered by
And do you get original low sodium? Well, she my my wife wants the low sodium. Yeah, which I don't know
Do you do you let it do it fly off the rails food wise for you on the road too?
It can yeah, it can yeah that can happen to me. Yeah, you know, it's just well
I also did this book called this is dad is fat
Well, I did dad is fat and then I did food a love story where I was like essentially traveling and you're like
Kansas City, you gotta get barbecue in Kansas City
And so then I was like, all right, I'll do this book about all the food I eat in these cities
But the problem is is then you establish a habit. Yes, you're like, all right. I'm in Ottawa
I have to try their poutine and compared to Montreal's between you're like the book was published two years ago
Why am I still eating all this horrible shit?
Because there's just you know, you're in Salt Lake City. You're like, I should try their fry sauce and this fry sauce
Yeah, and and then it's just and then people just send stuff to you. Yeah, right now
I just have I have overwhelming feelings of darkness right now
Just thinking about what it's like to I can because I'll try to keep it like, you know
Keep the on the fucking tracks and then sometimes like Jesus Christ like who I am is just a 400 pound man. Yeah
Absolutely. Yeah, and then just
The gifts are it would be the equivalent of giving like mitch headberg heroin. Yeah, you're I mean
It's just like why would I need?
Two boxes of donuts. Sure. I mean, I know it's your donut shop, but I'm by myself
Me too, that's the the greatest
You know
Temptation is is sugar like I try to I try to stay away from those things as much
Because I feel like it's just it's just a recipe for disaster. I'm much I'm much more of a savory guy
Yeah, that's my I'm a cheese and cheese and processed cheese are my jams. Oh my gosh
cheese
Let's talk about this for a second though before what's your favorite cheese is is that you are
now not just
Jim gaffigan
Superstar comedian, but you're a goddamn leading man now. I mean you're you're well not really but come on
Two at least two
There's what are there really seven? Is I read that right? You know, yeah, but that's just like timing
You know
Because you know you do a movie and then you're like what happened to that and they're like, oh, it's coming out in two years
Yeah, all right
so like that was just kind of the the coincidence of timing but
Yeah, no, it is amazing and I've always loved acting and I've always
Been auditioning and trying to get roles and it's like I just couldn't get arrested until I got this fat
You know, I mean what tell me about being frank
Being frank. I play a guy who has
two families
Two separate families and they don't know about each other. Oh my god. We talk about that a lot. It's and uh
It's weird because you know like supposedly charles carol had that
Yes, that's right and um
But it was it's a fun movie. I mean it's
I don't know. It's just like there's some challenging
You want to make the guy likeable, you know, I mean you're playing this guy who did this really selfish thing this craziest
Flashback memory. I just had now. I was on the road somewhere
one of the guys opening
Who was lives in the town that I was working in
told me
Something about his parents his dad. He was like, oh, I could tell he there was something there and I was like, yeah
What's what's the deal? He's like
Cause I I said like how many siblings you have and he was like, well
Uh, and I go, what is it? He's like, well, I have
Nine siblings from my my dad and my mom
But it turns out my dad
Was having had a second family. Wow. And uh, so
He had 11 with the other I was like, what?
And he goes
Wait a minute. He had nine and 11
I go, wait a minute. He goes. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's like, yeah, like, you know, 22
and I go
Dude, like this is I go, this is
I mean, you know, I was trying not to or 20 celebrate. I'm sorry
I got
I go, I'm trying to like, you know make light of it, but I'm like, well, how did this happen?
And he goes, uh, and I go where oh where was the other family the same town just like, uh
six seven miles away
And I go, well, how did how did he pull this off? You know, like how how was it able to do it?
Because well, you know, like when my dad would get like upset, you know, like in
on a
Wednesday or something and he would just he would just kind of storm out of the house
And he would come back like three days later
And and and we never it was a kind of house where like they didn't question him. Wow. And uh, that he would be staying at the other house
and
He was having kids at the same time
Wow, you know, and then
I go, how did how did you how did you find out? How did he forward it?
I have no idea
That's not the important. No, I hear you. I thought that too
20 here. Wait. Here's how he found out because I remember this so vividly. He found out
because his brother
one day
was out
and he was he was
picked up a girl and he went to
her place
And they're just getting into the apartment
And they're you know
Having drinks and as he's walked she walks to the kitchen
He's walking through her place
And he sees a picture on the wall
of the girl
and he goes
Why do you have this picture with this guy and she goes that's my dad
And he goes that's my dad
And so he had gone home with his half sister. Yeah, that's and
Then you got to see this movie too
Because it's yeah, no because this was set in the 90s because also in the internet age
9 and 11 is 20 though, right?
Yeah, yeah
Did I I don't know you got it right carry the one. Um, but uh
So yeah, no, it's insane
It's insane, but I think it used to
Happen more often. It must have right
I think so why why would anybody start to separate?
I understand having a mistress, but why the need for two separate families?
It probably always almost starts with the fact that there's an accidental pregnancy, right?
That that's probably like 90 of the reason why it happens. I guess. Yeah, and you just keep it going. Yeah
By the way in this movie
I play a guy who has two families with two kids
In each family and I have in real life. I have more kids than
Which is insane, but like I can't imagine. So does this does this movie go down like a pretty serious path then? No, no, this is
It's this is that's a comedy. It's definitely a comedy, but later this year
American dreamer. Oh that was that's a fun one like talking to two comedians
It's like I want you guys to see that movie because I think they sent you a link, right? Yes
I want you to watch that movie just because it's like
I play this guy who's a rideshare driver
And just think of like the amount of shit they have to consume
And so it's about that, but I won't tell you anymore, but it's it's it's pretty dark
And it's also just um, but that was a fun one. That's but you know, it's like, I don't know
You know, it's like that was an indie that
Uh, I shot in virginia and it was an amazing
Time and there's a I end up driving around this drug dealer and
He uh, the guy who played it is like
So intimidating and he was in character the entire time and then we wrapped and he's like, hey, how you doing? I'm like, what?
And so like he was a total thug for like the three weeks we were shooting and so that even like when you
I always wondered about this so they're like cut and and you guys are like there's someone's like you want something to drink
He would stay he would stay in that mode and that didn't ever annoy you
I mean, do you know I didn't know him before so you thought he was I thought he was
a guy who uh
was you know
Being authentic and which he plays which but he was like rude
He was I mean, he wasn't rude to people but people were like
Stay away from that guy and he plays the main he plays
He plays uh, this drug dealer. Okay, and then off and then after you wrapped. He's like, hi
Yeah, and then we were hanging out. He's like, I was so much fun, right? I'm like, really?
Really sweet guy. That's amazing. Yeah
um
All right, jean
Do you ever take uber by any chance? Yeah, do you know your uber profile score?
No, I don't oh, can you pull it up? I always I always give a four. Do you well? Here's the thing
You give well, he's
You give them a score. They give you a score. Did you know that?
I mean, I watch black mirror too, but I don't know if that's necessary to even know
Well, tom and I
I
Tom and I compared because I'm the personality jamp. We compared our scores might wear
Well, you're an attractive woman. Yeah, but I'm also nice and it's also an attractive man. It's not that much. It's not that much
Yes, it is uber rewards
Well, look at your look under your name sponsors if you go
If you go to your you go to your profile, I think upper left, right? Uh, 4.37
Deplorable the lowest that's the lowest we've heard yet really
Because you don't curse man. You got to curse more
What 4.37 that's very low out of five. Yeah. Well, she's very low. Yeah, she's 485. I'm 4.85
477
Josh is 4.91 or 9 to he takes it like every day alley in the lobby is a 5.0
Yeah, she gets free rides and shit. Yeah, but she's really cute. You get free rides. Yeah
She gets all types of freebies just from being like a five
Yeah, your score is the lowest of all of us jim. Oh, I'm surprised
I live in new york city
Oh, yeah, by the way out here uber is like it's so cheap. It's like you all right a 30 minute ride five cents
Whereas in new york half a block 13 dollars. Yeah, right
What I don't mean to you know shame you but because you never know what the drivers think you're a bad person
But um, by the way, I'm also taking ubers
With five children. Oh forget it
How old is the youngest six? So I'm taking ubers like from
birthday parties with
bags
and
So, yeah
That's why I'm embarrassed. No, I'm embarrassed about my uber. What's the oh by the way before I forget
What's the new special the amazon one called quality time?
I think it's I think I message you but I think it's cool that uh, someone we needed like a heavy weight to
Like broaden the you know the universe of specials. Yeah, you went there Russell Peters
Is doing his next one is coming out there?
And I know there's another one in the pipeline
But I think it's gonna keep growing and then I've never understood why apple doesn't produce them
I know like just when you open the home page. Why wouldn't they just have you know, I mean they make content like
Uh, youtube doesn't really they make sense that they should just have them produce self-produced. I think that uh
Yeah, I mean I I find it fascinating and then there's disney. Yeah, and then supposedly warner. Yeah, he's gonna do it
but um
I don't know it's so much
Cheaper than doing a tv show. Yeah, of course easier. So shoot it over. What do they think?
Lesson has been on an episode they can produce. Yes. Yeah, like people are like, oh, they paid chris rocks so much
I'm like that's like one episode of stranger things. Yeah, right, right?
So, um, I don't know. I don't know. It'll be interesting. It is uh
You know, it's it's fascinating because like you do things and then you're like
In six months, it's gonna be a different landscape. Yeah
So like, you know, I was thrilled when I got the offer from amazon and
You know, I just you know, I mean I order things from amazon once a day
Yeah, so I would think
That would be great
But also I think that
The disney thing I think that's going to be pretty interesting. Very interesting
Um, what do you know when it comes out? Do you have the I don't they don't have the exact day? Yeah
Um, well, look, um, you're always on tour. So make sure you go see jim live, but
Being frank opens father's day weekend
american dreamer

With you up. It is the great andrew collin. Yes. No s. Thanks for having me. Yes. Thanks for doing high school football, baby
Yeah, I uh when he thavens was on I was so excited. Wasn't it awesome? Oh my god. I was so excited
What did you play? What position? I wasn't good, but I played a receiver in cornerback
I was I was small. I was very small. Do you remember how small I was? I was like I think I had a sophomore
It's like 115 pounds. That's small. Yes
tiny small tiny and then uh
Hip puberty late, you know puberty is important. They look at full grown men now. Yeah now I do. Yeah. Yeah
Why did that it's a little late? Yeah, that kind of screws everything up though, or why does it happen just low?
testosterone or something right because my parents divorce
No, I don't know. Yeah, emotional. Yeah, I think it was. Yeah, just crying watching boy meets world. Probably that's what it was
It's crazy. You were like a man like you had hair. You had hair
You had like the body of like a 50 year old. I did that's true
Like and a baby face. I remember I went to one of those
You know like in I don't know if you guys this in high school, but sometimes like different years
They would have like a class trip and like sometimes on one of them parents came along on something
I don't know. It's one of those like weird overnight things and I remember I was like, uh, I think a junior
And someone's dad came up to me. He goes do you shave every day?
and I was like, uh
Kind I think so I go like yeah, pretty much maybe five days a week. He's like
He's like, yeah, you're probably done growing. I was like what?
Did you have visions of like being able to play d1 because you're a big guy for sure?
So, yeah, but then you talked out. You're what six feet six one. Yes
And how much did you weigh senior year 245?
But what happened was I I went on a trip. I don't know if you came on that trip or not to miami
I did or we stood on the field. Yeah, and they played syracuse. Mm-hmm. And um
The orange ball. Yeah, yeah at the orange ball and I remember the
I've said it before but I remember
The miami players came out of the tunnel, which was nuts
But then we were standing next to them
And like all the guys that played the position that I played like warrants. I was eye level with their numbers
So I was looking at like seven one
And like so I had to I was like I could never play with these guys like these guys would kill me
How big were their dicks that you couldn't see but I remember I saw I remember rohan marley
Bob marley's great rohan marley played at miami. Oh big black dicks, but but
This kid was like five eight five nine
And like 190 pounds number two. I remember and he was wearing a see-through. He was not playing like that
He was wearing a see-through mesh shirt and then um like a bike lock around his neck
I was like, oh, fuck like that's the guy would also destroy me
I was like the the confidence you have to have to be like I'm gonna put a bike lock around my neck
I was like, yeah, these guys are probably pretty serious and that was it that day. I was like, I'm not playing fucking college football
No, it is interesting when you think back you're like, how good was I you know like and then you're like, oh
I kind of saw but then you think about like someone like edelman or something was really small
Yeah, you know and well you see like heath and it stands out to you because you go like that's the guy you played against
Yeah, but but someone like edelman or something or like jj
They like went to you know
Smaller schools or whatever and then like somehow
Worked out hard enough to like like how do you have that drive to think you can get
To them like if you put on 30 pounds and you really worked hard
Could you have actually played do you want don't you do the thing like I have fantasies sometimes about that you go like
What if I had the mindset of the guy that in high school got up at six to you know run
Yeah, how far could you have gone? No, but the fantasy is fun
Right to go like how far could I have if you really loved football if you loved it
And then you and you'll lean into the fantasy and been like
Dude, I could have fucking done it and then all of a sudden
You have clarity and you go oh, but I fucking
I loved not doing that like I loved
Sleeping in and going to part like so, you know the fantasy you becomes clearly a fantasy you go like
Oh, there's a reason like that never would have been me ever
Well that and maybe like like what stand-up you actually do have to have a lot of discipline to stick to this for so many years and
All through the um adversity and you have you can't get I mean some people get hammered every night
You're sitting here because like he's somebody who's an example of that
I know like a lot of young comics, you know listen to these comedy podcasts, too
I remember running into him in florida. I think I was doing palm beach or land on bro
Was it Orlando? I think so and I ran in I go they go oh andrew's doing stand-up
I was like what and this was I was I mean, how long ago was that I started at 30 and I'm 39
That's the thing
So I was already like that's the thing. I was like you just started doing stand-up like you're fucking crazy crazy at 30s late
Yeah, because I'm like at that point almost, you know 10 years in I was like, what are you doing?
Yeah, and then weren't you going on stage with like chubaca or something? That's how I started. Yeah
Yeah
Well, I did we have a mutual whatever a kid that went to say that whatever anyway, so he got a divorce and his
Friends bought him a comedy class to like make fun of his ex-wife
She loved it and uh, well, yeah, it's real nice
And so then he was like your funniest person
Let me get you a class at the improv
A comedy class and that's how I started and then I like Zach Alfonac is and I was like he plays piano
I want a guitar
We all emulate somebody. Yeah fight like well known when you start everybody does and then he uh,
I was like, I'm not that good at guitar
But my buddy crapo or he goes by crapo his name is christian
He was good at guitar and he would often wear a wookie outfit out and about and not telling anyone
He was really out there. Yeah, he'd also wear a werewolf
I went with the wookie just felt more comfortable and that was your that was the act right that was the act
So I was like, yo, can you play while wearing the wood? He's like, yeah, I'll just cut the gloves
Like you didn't even think about it. And then I would do one liners. Wow the wookie
We talked didn't we talk about it? Yeah, I think you told me to not do that
You're like be more yourself and I was like, no, dude, where my grandpa's clothes
With a mustache is the way to go. But can I tell you having learned a feature in florida?
I spent a lot of time doing every club
I feel like that act probably was a hit for you and I want to say that people
Do it like the hibachi grills I performed at the seafood restaurants big hit that would be a big
It was a huge hit in florida and like I remember, uh, rene who was
Yes, I remember her out of palm beach improv. Yes, you go straight to feature and
With this act you can't post I told you the wookie
But the problem was is like I'd have to go to open mics and the wookie would have to wear
You know the costume in florida in summer and he's like sweating balls. This is even about this is in his dream
Yeah, you know
He did at first but then eventually when you're just performing for like three comics and a fish tank
You're like, all right. Maybe this isn't what I want. Then he got a girlfriend
And then she like yoko onoed the band. So is that how it ended?
Or was it you saying I don't want to do this anymore
It ended where he kind of was like falling out and then
I was like, yo, I got to do my own thing and then I started doing the one-liners without the wookie
With no guitar and I was eating a dick like I was bombing so hard and uh,
Then he gave away the wookie costume
For someone to borrow for comic con and then the guy moved
And just like changed his whole life to keep the costume. I don't know it sounds crazy
And then I was like, okay. Well now we definitely can't keep so how long did you keep doing one-liners?
For another like month and it was just eating and then I finally like started like doing stories and like yeah
Other shit and then I did like some comedy club
I got like third in florida and then I was like I called you and I was like should I go to chicago or new york and you were like
You should quit no
You go uh, you go go to new york and uh, I went to new york at like 30
Yeah, but I failed at everything before but it's great though. Like you and then you were you would I mean
How long have you not been having any other job right now? Just like just four months now. Wasn't that wild?
Yeah, yeah, I was walking dog for six years in new york, so you just got your break
Yeah, nicky like changed my life. She's the best. Isn't nicky glazer the best human being so funny and so sweet and
The best she's treated me extremely well. She uh
It's crazy like five years ago. I was walking a dog with wheels like on wheels
What are like a robot dog like half dog half machine like whatever and and it was an 80 pound dog
And every day I'd have to put its legs and like a wolf dog and he didn't like whatever so like I hated it
You know, but it was good for the dog whatever
She takes a picture of me and puts it on instagram
Wait, but didn't know I was a comic nicky. This is how this started how it started five years ago
She just takes a picture. She's like look at this fucking owner won't kill this dog or whatever whatever
I don't know what she said, but but she just put it on and then my buddies that were comics were like, yo
That's a comic and then they tagged me
And so then she started following me that day out of like pity probably and then five years later
Like she's like, you know, I'm sure and I dance with dogs on this whatever
I'm just stupid on instagram and she ended up moving back to new york to do a radio show
And then she just wrote me. She's like, I know you're probably not walking dogs anymore
I was like no more than ever. I'm like 90 10 dog the comic at this point. Like I was only walking dogs
I was like ready to not quit but yeah
and uh
She's like, hey, you want to walk my dogs and I went over there at first day
I meet her I tell her kind of you know, my life story almost that's what I do when I get nervous
Yeah, tell you everything. Yeah, I'm like, yeah
I got an AIDS test when I was a virgin because I fingered a girl on a bite my nails, you know
And she's just like, okay. Oh, yeah, you should uh be friend. You like whatever
So like I tell her everything and then she's like you want to open for me a carolines
Host and I was like first day. I mean like with that's the kind of person like she'll give you an opportunity
I start walking her dogs the next day
We become friends because I walk her dogs like twice a day
And then she has me on a radio show
When it wasn't on air and that went well and then I did carolines and it went really well
And like from there just because I was walking the dog five
I mean part of my ego too was like, should I should I take this job?
I want her to respect me as a comedian. You know, yeah
So I don't want her to look at me as just picking up dog shit
Right, but then god I was like no, I should just go with that instinct and yeah
I worked out and then she's like she gave me a ton of dates and I was like, oh, yeah
I've seen you guys on the road together a bunch, right? I see social media posts about it. It's been unbelievable
Yeah, and now you're about to open for a taping. Yeah. Yeah, it's been good, man
She's been good to me. I mean good. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure she'll throw me to the rivers
No, yeah, I'll be bad. I mean she gets worn out. Yeah, I mean well you told me something alarming in the lobby
We were going over our uber ratings and I'm uh, 4.85. Yeah
Go ahead Tom. What's yours? I'm four seven eight. Yeah
Yeah, I'm five four and I'm above five

No, I'm a four six six. Yeah, it's not good. That's good. That's the
That's the lowest I'm gonna write down. I freaking you know, do you disrespect them?
I uh, yeah, I spit on them. I often spit and piss in the uber
That's like in the gas tank. Yeah. Yeah while it's driving somehow
I pissed through the window and it goes back and what does your family think of what you've done
Stand-up lies or like in my life and like my absurd
Um, I think my brother's so successful my older brother that they don't give a shit what I do
What does he do that? He's so successful. It's a comic. No, no

So the name's going on
Yeah, so I have no pressure anymore. Oh, that's kind of nice. Yeah. Nice. Yeah, I could be as you know
But they got to be happy that what you mean finally. Yeah, I think once you know, nicky
They saw you going full-time. They're like, I think when I'm picking up dog shit
With like my dad paying 200 grand over now. Why did you wait for school? You know, he's like, I don't know
Why did you wait till 30 to try it?
um
I made a lot of money in my 20s in real estate. So what were you doing?
I just I
went during the boom like in florida
I like I got my
I moved to la right after college
And then I had like a mild like cocaine overdose and then I was like, I'll go back to florida
Dude, that's usually not the place to go after cocaine problems back to florida. Yeah, I'm gonna go relax in florida. No, I
I mean my story is pretty like I don't even know where you want me to start
But like I I went to la
Failed miserably. I was like, I'm gonna be a producer like I thought I like really had producers for dummies
And I was like I drove from florida la and I worked as a pa for one weekend
And then they're like, no, you got to get more job. I thought I had a job like a flaw and they're like, no
You got to get I was like, oh, I'm done being a producer. Well for people who don't know what that means
I wore a suit the first day for pa. Oh my god. So okay. I was a pa. Yeah. Yeah. I wore a suit and they're like you're moving boxes
I was like, oh my god fucking sweating balls in this suit and they're like, yeah
Joe macael commercial. Oh, so for people who don't know what a pa is it's a stands for production assistant
And how that works is you you hop from job to job to job in art in that industry like you hop on a tv show
Maybe it one season and then you're out of a job
Yeah, usually pa like the standard pretty much the lowest like a hundred a day. Yeah, I'll be like go pick up coffee
Cigarette butts. Yeah. Yeah, I've done that before it's I mean, I've done a few pa
I thought I was gonna like a megaphone and be yelling the first day, you know, no, it was shit
Like I didn't have a yeah, and I'm very lazy like yeah, and I was like I'm not going to get another job and
And then I moved back to and then I went to norlands and I had a little fun with coke
Yeah, and uh with a stripper I ended up doing like cocaine in the morning with a stripper
And we weren't even trying to hook up. We were just talking about life
Like overlooking lake poncho train and then I did some gravity bong hits to relax
And then I went numb and then I couldn't move and I was like, I think I'm having a heart attack
And my buddy's like stop me a little bitch. Hey, you went to the hospital. Yeah, he drove me. He didn't even get out
He just like
Yeah, good friend and then I went in I was like, I think I'm having a heart attack
And then they put me in the heart ward for like three days. I had a heart murmur or whatever
Oh, what did it feel like that you were I just was numb like oh, which is happening and you're like 22 23
Yeah, and like the best shape of them. I'm like, yeah, but so
Yeah, three days in the hard words $7,000
Do your parents know what's going on at the time or no, I called my dad and I was like I got out and I was like
I was like, oh man. I drank a little too much. I don't know. Yeah, of course
Yeah, we never even talked about it. Yeah, what? Yeah
Never
And then I went back to Florida. It sounds like a good relationship with your parents
Why were you doing drugs? I can't imagine why
Yeah, I sounds good. You know, I never bought coke. I've only done coke like five times. It's just yeah
Um, but then I moved back to florida and I got in the real estate after that
So what does that does that mean for you like a salesperson or like flipping houses? I was doing sales sales
So you got my real estate license. Okay, and then I was
Trying to sell houses and I didn't know shit about how I was 23 like
Oh, that's the roof. Like I didn't I didn't learn anything. You know, that's a foyer or whatever. So how'd you do well at it?
I
That's how good the market was a fucking idiot like me can make money
Really, you know, like, you know the big short with the two guys in Miami or just yeah
So I ended up teaming up with my buddy rusty who was just as dumb as I was and then we ended up rusty
He's a dumb guy named. It's so dumb and he's the third rusty the third. Oh my god. Yeah, they didn't learn
What is that short for isn't that a nickname for something dickhead? I think no Russell Russell
Oh, yeah, Russell's cool. But rusty is just yeah, I kind of like rusty dusty
I'm just kind of has like rusty sounds like though. I'm not writing you a check for anything

You know the shit like that, but I'm not gonna be like, yeah, I'll sign a document. Here's the drywall. Yeah
And that's my business drywall. Yeah, this is a under rusty and we ended up selling 60 acres for like eight million dollars
Oh my god over like I went from having like a hundred bucks living on my mom's to like 280,000
Oh my god, you're like 20 24 25. Wow
That's crazy. It was nuts. So then you're like you must be like I'm set, right? I mean, dude, I was living like
Like, you know, like in broke, you know, like I would wear a bike lock essentially on my yeah
Like I was I went and bought a Tacoma put some fucking 20s on there. You're loving it
It's like 45,000. I was like, whatever motherfucker. And then I traded in for Mercedes with jaguar
Like the direct sales. Do you keep?
Um
Like working hard after that big. No, no, no, I wasn't working hard before that
But I mean I got lucky man. I just are you just like done after that deal? No, so we actually
We actually had other deals in the works to like later
I was gonna make another million dollars like and then the market crash and I spent all my money
Oh my god, I spent it all on a year. I bought a apartment for 210 and then it was worth 60 a year later
So where was the oh my god?
So like I then I bought a car got repoed from my dad's and like I next thing I know
Oh, they
I was living our land and this guy would show up. I stopped paying my payments and he's like
He would like knock and he was like serving me papers and I would hide every morning
I'd like set my alarm to hide from the guy in the in the bathroom
And I would hide and then I would turn the shower on but I wouldn't even go in but I thought I'd have an alibi
I was crazy. I like whatever
The guy's like
Going from the window like yo, I see you going into the bathroom every morning
Like he's like I was like, ah, you got me like and then like whatever
So now wait, is that like how can I ask you just one second because whenever I'm all over let's say
I forget to pay my my visa gap bill
And you know when they start calling you incessantly when you miss like one credit card payment
The anxiety that that generates for me is
Overwhelming like I can't handle that which is why I paid and I have an excellent credit score
Mine's terrible. I think I see it. How do you it's under a hundred? I believe brah
I don't know. It's like 6 30 or something. That's terrible. How do you but how do you?
How do you how do I live? Yeah, like so how do you deal with this anxiety? No, no, no
I'm asking you how I don't deal with it. Well, it was bad. I had bad panic attacks and I like I put it
I didn't talk about it. I just like so I ended up dealing with it through
Having horrible panic attacks and like ending up driving myself to be er again and like having a ton of anxiety and yeah
It's got like it went somewhere
Right like I was really depressed like after I lost all that money
I would just like sit in the dark watching youtube videos for like a year. You know what I mean?
Yes, like just we've all been having no
Out you know and like because I made money. So when you make money like that overnight you're like, oh, that's how you make money

But he has another show next week. You know what I mean? Yeah, he could buy three gold chains
Shit, I could buy a whole fucking and gold's only going up room full of gold man. Yeah
Sorry, so are we gonna ask him? I I'm just yeah
I'm just always I'm always amazed at people that are like well repo guys knocking again big deal
And like to me that's a very big deal
That's what I showed but I'm sure but inside it was like internalized and yeah and yeah ate me up
So but all right at this point though like that crash happens. Aren't you're still like what 25 or something?
Yeah, and I'm partying like you are partying. Oh dude. I had some great fucking party tales

They're like get in I was like I'm going to South Beach, uh white law hotel. I'll pay you $40. That's what I said
they're like, yeah get in

I take out money like I really thought that I'm like I'm ready to cry like back there. I'm just
Luckily like the convertible like
Through the tears or whatever. So I'm just like, what the fuck do I do?
I was like, I gotta get out of here
And then I was like fucking I just tapped the guy riding shotgun. It's like whatever you do. Don't don't kill me

He wants you to party at the well come party with him
At like on a sunday like some like pool party and I was like bleeding out
I was like, no, I got to get the fuck out of here. I just drove north
biggest mistake of my life
I could have you know been fucking you wanted more of that
Yeah, I feel like little john probably would have got me out of debt. No, he would have helped his boy out
Yeah, right. No, maybe no. Yeah, that was yeah, you just drove away. Yeah, and then like inside
I already hit and just oh, it was smart. Yeah for real smart. Yeah, real heady
but like shit like that like you just fall into
Not something like but like stuff like that would happen like throughout my 20s. So then when did you actually
Like what makes you start doing stand-up? Why did you start?
I went to uh, I ended up moving to new york. I was gonna be a screenwriter
This is in your mind. Well, I wrote a movie. Okay called laughers for hire. It was fucking terrible
Like it was like
So bad. I sent it to everyone. I knew in LA like
Guy that's like just produced like red two like like big movies and stuff
I'll check this out. He's like you like misspelled like the title like like wrote this like like it was terrible
Like fucking why are you so like because this is delusional about what you're right because I made 200 grand overnight
So I thought I could do anything you think you have a magic touch. Yeah
I thought I could like so I tried to you know start a website called you hot calm that didn't do so hot
You know, what was it you hot which is it's a combination of a hot or not and youtube
Yeah, and it was like girls would put up videos to see how hot they were
Which is kind of instagram now. Yeah, I wasn't crazy. That's not a bad idea. I could see how much you invest in this
2 million no no like hey like like four grand each and then we ended up selling it though for like nine g's
Some guy bought in and made it a porn site the next day
Which I didn't tell anyone and so is this still a site? No, I didn't work out for him
But that was like the best business deal I did but he all my family was like you made it a porn site finally
Like like they're like finally you're doing what we thought you should be in and then I tried to start an app
Like I tried to do an app called earlacker and that didn't work out
Brian earlacker an app just about Brian earlacker. Yeah. Yeah
You know
Don't you have to get permission to do something like that? He would think but it never it never so, you know
his last name is uh
Erlacker, you know remember the budweiser frogs budweiser
So me and my buddy were doing erlacker and so you want to play so player one would say er
Player two is lack. I say er and you guys say er again
To keep saying erlacker. Okay. All right. We're good. So
Yeah
It's like yeah, it says painful. I can't I can see why you fail. I can see how you're not a good ideas guy
Yeah
Fuck that was that was one of the worst moments of my life
You explaining how the erlacker app works. Yo, can I tell you you play it?
Don't talk and then I got nervous when he was explaining it to me because he's like now remember to say this
And then I felt the anxiety. I had a moment of interest and then yeah in a flash
I was like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. I know I know and I was I felt the pressure
I was like, yo, this is gonna be the next facebook like I thought it was gonna be huge
Lack
I'm telling you. It's kind of fun. I got it. So you're just scared that you're scared, dude
I'm totally hating on you for any of these ideas, dude
So he's a 4.7. I'm 466
I can talk down to 466. So I ended up uh, yeah
I ended up trying to really make that like I got found the guy of craigslist and uh
I paid him for I met up at like in west palm and like an apple bees or something
And I and he showed up in a wife beater with his girlfriend who did the dude I met off craigslist. I look for an app
creator, okay, and uh
I explained it to him. He's like, yeah, it's brilliant
And he's like sweating and shit
I'm like, yo, like I'm so desperate to make money
That like I don't even realize you're like you became like a get rich quick guy. Yeah, dude
I had like 80 schemes and none of them at the time is your brother already successful
Yes
Killing it and are you guys do you ever talk like is he like I try to avoid no no
We sort of mean like is he like I'm doing this does he ever do like do you want to work in this field?
I worked for him. You did that did not work out either. Why because I was just pitching her lacquer at all
No
You gotta let this go
It was funny though, I paid the dude 500 bucks to make it and then I never heard from him again
No, shit, you're kidding. No, but sitting six months later. He finally picks up the phone. He's like, hello
Hello, I'm like motherfucker. Erlager. What's going on? And he's like I got cancer
That's what he said to me and I can't yell at a guy
I go, well, I want my 500 bucks back dude. Yeah, and he's like, oh, he's like, no, I want to make it
I want to do this for you like his last rites or some shit. Yeah
Lacquer I said I go to my god. Do you remember I go er. He goes lac. I go. All right, dude
I'll fucking believe in you, dude. And then I never heard then he probably died. Hopefully died. I hope you
Hopefully I hope yeah, so then uh, yeah, my brother's killing at the time
I ended up working for him when I moved to New York the first time so I went I was gonna take a he's running his own
Yeah, yeah, just like a billion dollar fund. Yeah, okay. Yeah
And then I'm just killing it on the side and but what's it like working for you're just like terrible at it
I'm not terrible. I ended up, uh, working on the operation side
And lean manufactured like the Toyota way like you go in the factories and you make it you cut the fat
So you can fire people essentially. Oh my gosh
So I'm just like timing people like with a stopwatch like if this is part of the job really
Yeah, I just stand behind them and like time them on how they put away clothes
Yeah, it's like 4.8. Come on. You got this. That's horrible. Oh my god 5.0. Get the fuck out
Yeah, it's pretty much the job and then you do that and you're like, I can't do this anymore
It was too fun. No, it was uh, I end up uh, no, so I ended up
I ended up working for him. Uh, he gave me a job. I was working in uh, at a lobster place. I was cutting fish
I'm sorry. I'm like, I'm sorry like people yeah, quite a resume. Yeah, it's like forest gump. Yeah
Yeah, and uh, and uh, anyway, I was like cutting fish and
And as a fishmonger and uh, then my brother's like, you know, I'll give you a job
And then I end up working for him and then I end up in miami's burgo, Ohio, which is outside Dayton
And I'm working they give me like an area to work in the factory and I make it run more efficient
And they're like, okay, but now we want you to work the night shift and run the whole factory
And I moved to new york to write laffers for hot like to be a screenwriter
Yeah, and now I got a hard hat on in miami's burgo, Ohio yelling at guys that live off mountain dew
You know and like look at me like i'm a little bitch
Like how long are you doing that for? I lasted a week and a half a week and a half or like two weeks
I wouldn't I wouldn't even lasted that long
So I started having horrible panic attacks and like this is when it like really started him in
And that's and I told my brother and like he was so nice like
In a sense of giving me an opportunity, but he's like no you got this and I was like
I can't do it and I just went back to florida. I went back to vira
And then that's when I ended up getting a job in sales
In nursing sales and then started stand-up at 30 and then uh, I was like, oh this will be lucrative
No, it's finally like to be honest like stand-up was finally like the job that I chose for myself
And like was ready to put the work in and like not thinking I was gonna make money
Overnight obviously and I was like and it was finally something that I did on my own accord
And that's why like I pursued it so much and like did the dog walking job and stayed on top of it and
I don't I finally found like what I wanted to do and like ran with it
I don't know so that's like
But isn't that the the secret to all of it is finding the thing that drives you no matter what?
Like you'll fucking walk dogs for nine years if it means that one day
You'll get to be a professional comedian and you'll get to work with niki glazer and the series show and like
That's so inspiring. That's so great and people need to hear it. Your brother must feel proud of you now
Oh, so much. Yeah, they're all and really proud of me. Yeah, like it's uh
It's cool like to do something on your own
Like because I was so reliant on everyone forever, you know, I mean, oh, give me a job, brother
Give me a job, you know, I mean and then
Yeah
Pay your own way and shit. Yeah, I learned it late in life. I should have had a job in like high school
I feel like sometimes I'm like I should have worked at like Danny's air conditioning company
Like in this I'm like learned about money and like worked in an attic and like everybody
You know what it's it's fine like you took the path that you took but like the cool thing is that
You pursued something you wanted to do then it's actually cool that you started it now at 30
You know, I mean and and like you figured you did it a decade later than they tell you to start
And look at look what you're doing now, man. Yeah, it's pretty dope. I'm pretty yeah, I'm pretty happy right now
And I will say
Add a cough
I will say the advantage
Um and stand up comedy and comedy in general is that like the older fatter uglier you are the better it actually is
It's not really a young person's
Thing the younger you are the unfunnier you are
I mean tom and I would say this all the time like who the fuck is funny as a 20 year old stand-up
They got no life, bro
I would there's no way I would have lasted if I started at 20. No, I remember I really got nothing to say though
What the fuck are you talking about jack and your dick? That's all 20 year old comedians talking about because that's all they know
It's still funny. It's still funny. Yeah, it's still pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah, I like
But not the whole thing
It's uh, but yeah, no, I mean, I'm glad I started
Later, I guess now that
You have all this great life experience and you can relate to like a fishmonger and you can relate to real estate douche bags
And guys who wear polo shirts or whatever and little john like you've got this wealth now
Yeah, which is great. Now. Let's be honest. Nikki's gonna dump you soon. What do you think is the next? Oh my god?
She's not gonna dump him. He's probably I don't know. I'm pretty good at fishmongering. Yeah, probably get back in that game
You know, let's just cut up some fish
You know, either that or grilled cheese. I worked in grilled cheese for a while. Yeah
Never goes out never goes out cheese is better than fish actually
It's cleaner smell. Yeah, I would fucking smell like a tilapia on the fucking subway
Homeless people would be like get the fuck away from me. I would stink like shit. Did you see the skydiving video?
Yeah, I love for fuck's sake. I loved all those videos
I don't give me a guy eating a peach while skydiving and throwing up and then die in the water
Like that was awesome
The one was pretty fucked. The second one was pretty fucked up
Which one the water one because it was you know, she died
Yeah, and like first of all, why is she in the car while it's getting a tune up like on top?
It's Russia, bro. They don't know. Oh, is it Russia? Yeah, it's Russia. I don't know. I don't have water
How it goes away. Oh the writing there like why does it roll away all of a sudden though?
Like the car is yeah, it's in the shop. So what does she do here? Release the brake? Probably it's not locked in
Uh, yeah
I'll be like kid
I like foreign overalls. Yeah, I'm so foreign
I mean
It's my nightmare. It's uh, she stops talking here. When does it turn off?
There right there. See that's unfortunate because we don't know we know
I mean we could hope
It's over
I mean what it was it was she filming she was what was she filming? I'm sad again
I don't like these videos, but I don't know how deep it is. Maybe she just it's a lake
It looks like a lake. So it's you know, I don't know how deep lakes are. Maybe it's a duck boat. It's not a standing lake
Yeah, she's dead, but you know what she had a good run. She's probably cold
Also that her car was breaking down. She probably couldn't pay it off. She's probably ready to go anyways
It's true. How come we watch these videos I get sad and you get happy. I'm in a good mood now
Yeah, the video that you always play
Yeah, where the guy's screaming. I don't like that one either. I love it. I mean I I have a very similar maybe
Can we play high school football together? I think maybe that's what it is. You know, we both wait
Did you go to Florida from somewhere else though?
No, I was born in Miami, but I was raised in port st. Lucy. Okay. Oh, that's nice place
You know, I what I realized is that
Yeah, another Florida guy. This is a Florida thing. You want to check out this Florida thing?
Can I just bring up a point before we watch something terrible vomiting diarrhea? This one actually will make you laugh
I know you you'll like it. I'm serious
Go ahead bring something up
Well, I was thinking because you guys talk about sports like it's so important, you know
In high school it really defines boys. I feel like you guys are like
That guy's fucking big, but I'm like bigger. I'm a fucking fucking shit up, bro
And I'm like, what's the equivalent?
Sizes everything really good. Well, you will look at a girl's leg for how skinny. Well, that's what I'm thinking
I think in the girl world. I'm trying to think the equivalent might be your your looks
Yeah, like who's hot and who's like got the biggest hits or who's a slut
We always think guys you made that one video, but it's like where you how big they are in person
Like didn't you do some video with rick jane or something like how big he is
Who no you did a james brown james brown. Oh james like how tall he is
Like I do that all the time and like if I meet a big guy like look at you
You big fucking with your big dick and like it's like it's just projecting onto him because my dick is okay
You know what I mean compared to how long is it? Did you measure? Yeah, I've measured every day and yes
It's uh hard or soft
I don't know you tell me what's the soft measurements too. Yeah, it's yeah, I'm not a grower or a shower
So you're not a grower or a shower. What are you? Uh sad. What is it? I don't know probably six hard. Yeah
Yeah, yeah, that's that's average. I'm an average guy, but that's but that's and I'm probably lying
So right so it's like it's five and a quarter. The point is it's four and a half
Whatever, you know what though? I don't go down on women either. So that's good. Yeah, never. No, no, no
I'll fuck it around. Oh
Why you don't go down. Oh he does
He's like a peach. It's a pig. Oh
Yeah, you think he's sad again. Do you think he ate the rest of that peach like
I wonder if you I was just wondering if he's gonna eat it
A plum would be hot too. Okay. It was pretty good. Let's move on. What's this? Okay. Yeah, check this out
This is our before we go. This is a our throwback to our our state where you grew up where we grew up
Go ahead. No recollection of that happening at all at all. This store sells some good liquor
I drank a lot of it that night the viral video shows robbie stratton running through a convenience store with an alligator in his hands
He takes the animal in the beer fridge as well. I don't even remember coming up here
What
We asked stratton where the alligator came from no clue
No clue. I literally came to the store
He was in the back of the truck. They told me what I did was stupid and I'll be facing some charges here soon
Probably go to jail. Probably not. We'll see he says he regrets his decision and he's been in contact with the fwc
My favorite, that's that's lax a days ago. I don't know why I just got an alligator
Way of dealing with charges
Again, how are you that casual about
I got arrested in florida for speeding on a jet ski in a manatee zone. Oh, yeah, that's serious there
Yeah, yeah, how fat were you really ripping it? I was going like seven
There was no governor on that bad boy, but but that's not when I got I got arrested six months later when I was on a date
What yeah, I was on a date with a stripper actually
I've never been on a date with a stripper and she was gorgeous
Where'd you meet her?
Strip club. Oh, and then you took her out afterwards. Yeah, like a few days later on like a tuesday. You exchanged numbers. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay
and uh, she um
She didn't speak any english. She just kept telling me how nice I was where she like what kind of columbian, I believe
Oh, okay, and uh, she looked like Shakira a little bit. Yeah, cool
She's like so nice
You saw and I was like it felt not like a compliment because that was the only word
She knew in english. She was basically like are you gay?
Wanted to say she's basically sound a little bitch compared to the men she usually dates with the dicks
That's true. Like mean guys that anyway, go ahead. Yeah, but I'm just like so then uh, I'm dropping her off
Kind of in a shitty part of town and you're not gonna hook up with her
No, we were kissing and then the cop rolled up and ran my plates
Because I'm in like whatever a shitty part and he's like get out of the car. You have a warrant out for your rest
And uh, I looked at her. I was like just tell him I'm nice if he asked
That's why it's a dirt and she's like, wow, okay
Like she had no idea what was going on
She just got done telling me how nice I am and um the cops are after me and I get out and the cop is like
Gun drawn. He's like put your hands behind your back like all this shit. He's like got a warrant and he's like
He starts like laughing to himself almost he's like were you speeding on a jet ski?
In a manatee zone six months ago and you didn't pay the ticket
I'm like, that sounds like yeah, it sounds like something I could have done officer
He's like, well, you didn't pay it. You're going down to jail like you're going to jail
And so and then I was like, well, you at least tell her that I'm not a murder
I don't know what he told her but she threw the keys. Yeah, I'd else me on like ran upstairs like she loved manatees or
I think she he told her he probably was like he's an animal abuser. Well, he spoke spanish, too
I think he was trying to fuck her
Right, you know, and uh, then I went into jail and I'm in with like two badass criminals and they were like
Fucking like
Yo, I'm fucking in for assault or whatever and then they're like what about you and I was like
Manatee, I was so scared, dude
And I was like manatee and then he's like and then he got quiet and I was like whatever he asked me
I gotta get right or you're gonna fucking rape and kill me and he's like he's like he looks at me
He goes yamaha or calisthenics
I go yamaha and he's like it's a good ski
And I was like, dude, I was like, are you fucking kidding me?
And I was like, I'm good like I and I got out the next day and
You had to spend the night in jail spend the night in jail for 80 dollars. Oh, why didn't you pay your fucking ticket?
Yeah, I don't I don't do anything. I mean, yeah, why let's talk about this
Do you bring this up in therapy? Why why are we letting this? Yeah, what are you doing?
Get your life. I do that too like a doctor bill the other day
I was like avoiding and it was like giving me so much anxiety
So why and I finally opened it was like 25 dollars and like that's the story of my life right there
It's just avoiding thing, but I don't avoid them anymore. Like I'm like
Now you're doing better without you are doing better. I am doing way better with it, but it takes
time and like
I don't know like my anxiety was so bad. I couldn't stop. Yeah pushing. You know when you you can't stop so
Oh, yeah, and waiting things off. I've learned about this
People yeah, you can have a fight flight or freeze response. I don't know. Basically, there's people that are avoiders
That's your coping mechanism fight. Yeah, you avoid. Yeah, that's just a way to deal with stuff. Yeah
Yeah, so
But then you you don't really like I don't know even our age group like anxiety and stuff like and panic wasn't a thing
That was talked about fight flight freeze or fawn. Sorry. That's the fourth f for f where you it's basically being
Codependent like you don't deal with your stuff and you're like
Tom you need to deal with uh folding all this laundry right now. Are you gonna are you gonna call your mom?
I know you're in your mom right like if if I start getting in this Kool-Aid
Yeah, it's like you're doing a voice. It's like you never yeah
Like when you start getting into someone else is trying to solve their lives instead of solving your own shit
Codependent are you guys when you guys met as comics like
Mary and another comic was that like were you worried about that?
That was like an SNL. What's that old sketch?
When um, um, I don't know. I'm pretty I'm pretty good at this on the other side. You guys ever like uh, like
No, I had I had anxiety about dating a comic because there was yes, especially because we're you know in our 20s
People were like you've never dated. Yeah, that's all I ever did
But like you also put it out of your mind as soon as like you're in it, right? You're like, oh
That's just
How many have you guys talked about how you met on here probably oh million times
Yeah, by the way because it hasn't actually come out yet. So did you see my mom farting?
No, let's see it dude. So this was for episode 500 which comes out was it came out already, but
Um, I caught her that's the best video ever. I caught her she didn't know I was recording
and
It's it's best. It's pretty amazing. Yeah. No, she farted a lot. Did you know like to be ready?
Yeah, well, how did you know to be ready? I kind of challenged her a moment before
And I think she was doing it like for my amusement, but
only
Not thinking there's a camera. Yeah, so as soon as you have you you've challenged her like this has been a thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so she turned away and I just reached my pocket pulled out my phone
and
Dude, she oh my god
She ripped and then she didn't know I was recording which is
That's not your mother. Yeah, it is
The face
You mean it's not my mother. The face is everything. I've never met your mom. Oh, well, that would be
No, well
Oh my god, that's so great
Oh
So fucking long dude
Dude, well you play that one more time. I know because halfway through the fart
I didn't believe that was your mom like that's how it was just a bit or you thought it was
Yeah, I just thought you like found a woman that farted like the longest on earth
And you were like, oh, I'm gonna pretend this is my mother and I thought your mom had brown hair for some reason
This is
The face is
It's her face. It's everything because right at that moment. She knows that a million people are gonna see this like a million
Let's keep playing it when I hear her talk
You know my son anymore
Show it to me
Yeah, of course
Dude, just to get permission to play this I had to buy her a bag
Two first-class tickets to vegas pay for gambling pay for a hotel. She was like you are never I was like, I have to put this out there
Come on
I've never I've never
That's amazing. Have you ever heard one that long from her? Oh, yeah
Or did you just get it? No, no, no, but those are like she's known for those. That's her wheelhouse. Yeah 10 12 14
How is that? She's just gifted. I don't know sometimes that happens after I have sex. Really? Yeah
I don't know I could fart that long
I've had the thing where if I eat something oily, oh stop no no at night the next morning
What no Tommy your farts are on an ongoing on rolling. There's no when you say
Yes, I can't be don't you guys have a fart mic or something right here, buddy
God I wanted to fart so bad
But no your farts are always coming and you try to pinpoint the cause like oh, I had vegetables
Oh, I had meat. Maybe it's your fart. It's genetic. Obviously. I mean, it's did your dad. I mean that's
Yeah, it's way different though. His are just killer smelling. Yeah bad bad death like death dying
So you have the combo you have both sides. Yeah, yeah, you have a nice blend
This morning you tuted when I was I was leaving you with FIFO. No
You leaned over to me and you're like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm embarrassed as comics
But I wanted you fart in front of him for the first time
No that you're asking the wrong question. The question is when did he fart in front of you first time first yeah
Go ahead and tell him
Well, everyone knows this story. Oh, sorry. All right. He was sitting in his boxers
Wedging football he thrust my hand into his crotch and farted on my hand. Oh, that was the first one month into dating
Yeah, and I
And that's what we did at our wedding
You ever cuff your own farts and smell them. I don't have to I feel like
I get them without it. Yeah, yeah, your dad. I mean, that's the most absurd thing
I I mean, I think about my mom. I don't think I ever heard my mother fart
My mom farted for the first time in front of us like a year ago. What? Yeah, all these things are just baffling to me
Yeah, she farted in front of us and then she goes, I've lived alone too long. That's what she said really sounds great
She's not like
She has emphysema
Remember she's dying
Those sisters from the simpsons. Yeah, all right. She's on oxygen. Uh, we gotta run but
All right, uh, where can people find you see you all that stuff? Uh, instagram

That like it actually kind of clicked and I'm like, oh my god. This is actually happening
I'm proud of myself
I
And this is like this goes for almost all the moments in the scene
It wasn't until somebody was actually there telling me you have two in you or you have three in you
Would that like it actually kind of clicked and I'm like, oh my god. This is actually happening
