Starting point is 00:18:36 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?

Yeah, maybe I'll maybe I'll taste my own in front of him You have to ask
Starting point is 00:18:58 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
Starting point is 00:19:35 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
Starting point is 00:20:12 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?
Starting point is 00:20:47 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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
Starting point is 00:21:54 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
Starting point is 00:22:25 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
Starting point is 00:22:59 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
Starting point is 00:23:41 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
Starting point is 00:24:17 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
Starting point is 00:24:46 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
Starting point is 00:25:23 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
Starting point is 00:26:01 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
Starting point is 00:26:36 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?
Starting point is 00:27:18 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
Starting point is 00:27:57 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
Starting point is 00:28:29 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
Starting point is 00:29:05 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

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
Starting point is 00:39:59 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
Starting point is 00:40:35 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
Starting point is 00:41:08 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
Starting point is 00:41:43 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
Starting point is 00:42:12 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
Starting point is 00:42:52 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
Starting point is 00:43:15 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
Starting point is 00:43:50 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
Starting point is 00:44:25 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
Starting point is 00:45:10 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
Starting point is 00:45:49 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
Starting point is 00:46:22 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
Starting point is 00:46:52 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
Starting point is 00:47:26 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
Starting point is 00:48:01 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
Starting point is 00:48:45 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
Starting point is 00:49:18 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
Starting point is 00:49:55 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
Starting point is 00:50:37 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
Starting point is 00:51:08 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
Starting point is 00:51:45 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
Starting point is 00:52:22 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
Starting point is 00:53:02 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
Starting point is 00:53:36 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
Starting point is 00:54:13 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
Starting point is 00:54:45 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
Starting point is 00:55:23 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
Starting point is 00:55:59 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
Starting point is 00:56:33 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
Starting point is 00:57:11 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
Starting point is 00:57:50 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
Starting point is 00:58:30 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
Starting point is 00:59:13 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
Starting point is 00:59:46 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
Starting point is 01:00:15 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
Starting point is 01:00:52 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,
Starting point is 01:01:31 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
Starting point is 01:02:05 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
Starting point is 01:02:35 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
Starting point is 01:03:09 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
Starting point is 01:03:46 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
Starting point is 01:04:19 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
Starting point is 01:04:48 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
Starting point is 01:05:23 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
Starting point is 01:06:03 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
Starting point is 01:06:36 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
Starting point is 01:07:10 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
Starting point is 01:07:52 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?
Starting point is 01:08:28 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
Starting point is 01:08:52 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
Starting point is 01:09:28 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
Starting point is 01:10:02 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
Starting point is 01:10:37 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
Starting point is 01:11:05 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
Starting point is 01:11:43 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
Starting point is 01:12:21 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
Starting point is 01:12:52 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
Starting point is 01:13:40 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
Starting point is 01:14:19 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
Starting point is 01:15:00 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
Starting point is 01:15:41 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
Starting point is 01:16:14 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
Starting point is 01:16:51 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
Starting point is 01:17:33 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
Starting point is 01:18:07 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?
Starting point is 01:18:45 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
Starting point is 01:19:21 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
Starting point is 01:19:59 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?
Starting point is 01:20:35 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
Starting point is 01:21:18 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
Starting point is 01:21:51 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
Starting point is 01:22:37 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
Starting point is 01:23:13 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

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?

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
Starting point is 01:32:29 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
Starting point is 01:33:10 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?
Starting point is 01:33:44 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
Starting point is 01:34:18 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
Starting point is 01:34:51 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
Starting point is 01:35:24 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
Starting point is 01:36:00 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
Starting point is 01:36:39 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
Starting point is 01:37:18 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
Starting point is 01:38:01 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
Starting point is 01:38:30 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
Starting point is 01:39:03 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
Starting point is 01:39:37 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?
Starting point is 01:40:14 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
Starting point is 01:40:51 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
Starting point is 01:41:27 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
Starting point is 01:42:07 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
Starting point is 01:42:43 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
Starting point is 01:43:22 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
Starting point is 01:44:05 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
Starting point is 01:44:41 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
Starting point is 01:45:11 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
Starting point is 01:45:43 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
Starting point is 01:46:17 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
Starting point is 01:46:47 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
Starting point is 01:47:13 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
Starting point is 01:47:41 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
Starting point is 01:48:09 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
Starting point is 01:48:31 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
Starting point is 01:48:50 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
Starting point is 01:49:18 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
Starting point is 01:49:49 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
Starting point is 01:50:29 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
Starting point is 01:51:10 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
Starting point is 01:51:39 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 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
Starting point is 01:55:05 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.

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
Starting point is 02:00:23 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
Starting point is 02:00:55 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
Starting point is 02:01:33 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
Starting point is 02:02:07 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
Starting point is 02:02:32 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
Starting point is 02:03:04 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
Starting point is 02:03:36 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
Starting point is 02:04:08 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
Starting point is 02:04:42 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
Starting point is 02:05:18 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
Starting point is 02:05:50 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
Starting point is 02:06:22 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.

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
Starting point is 02:06:52 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

Who are you? I don't know. This was a different time, you know, my parents were divorced and uh, so so I started hitchhiking and uh I swear to god these two Spanish dudes in a convertible stop within like I was hitchhiking for maybe three minutes
Starting point is 02:26:55 Are you on a side road like or are like on a major it's somewhat of a main road I don't think it's a 1a, but it's like similar to a 1a and uh, and Like it just shows how white I am too Like how quickly I could get a car to stop for me, you know, I mean and yeah, and so they're like 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 And I get in and uh, I just jump in and I don't even think about it like that they could kill me You know what I mean? Like and then we start driving and I start to like
Starting point is 02:27:27 Come and I'm like, oh my god. I'm gonna fucking die Like I really think I'm gonna like they're just gonna kill me and put me in the Everglades after that 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 That's what I said to him and then he turns around. I swear to god. He just goes, uh
Starting point is 02:27:54 You're the hitchhiker And if anyone's gonna do the killing it's like an hitchhiker and uh, I like made me so at ease, you know Yeah, you never see like a scary movie where like the you know, the hitchhiker So then we get $40 out and uh, I take the 40. I thought they'd kill me then and I get back to the hotel. They dropped me off Very nice people. I was just racist. I guess a little bit. Yeah, and uh, yep.

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

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
Starting point is 02:30:20 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
Starting point is 02:31:00 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 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
Starting point is 02:32:04 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.

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?

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
Starting point is 02:34:20 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
Starting point is 02:34:57 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
Starting point is 02:35:38 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
Starting point is 02:36:07 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
Starting point is 02:36:46 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
Starting point is 02:37:22 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
Starting point is 02:37:56 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
Starting point is 02:38:20 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
Starting point is 02:38:55 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
Starting point is 02:39:30 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
Starting point is 02:40:05 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
Starting point is 02:40:35 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
Starting point is 02:41:12 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?

I'm serious Go ahead bring something up
Starting point is 02:41:41 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
Starting point is 02:42:15 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
Starting point is 02:42:51 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
Starting point is 02:43:21 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
Starting point is 02:43:56 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
Starting point is 02:44:37 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
Starting point is 02:45:03 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
Starting point is 02:45:36 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

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
