Did you have any Spanish-speaking lessons before you went to Colombia?
00:00:53.000
Like, when Tom gets Me Too'd in America, he's going to go run.
00:01:03.000
The other countries are like, what's the problem?
00:01:15.000
We were talking to his cousin who lives in Peru.
00:01:18.000
He called his cousin, and there's a term Latinx, which is not Latino or Latina.
00:01:27.000
And he says to his cousin in Spanish, you know, ¿tu sabe Latinx?
00:01:51.000
My teacher, we were talking about like parents, something like that, and there was like, the word for parents is just like...
00:01:58.000
So then it's like, what if you have two mothers?
00:02:03.000
Instead of like, you know, if it's just father, it's padre.
00:02:17.000
It's okay with her being as poor as she can be.
00:02:22.000
What country do you think is most in the dark ages with wokeness?
00:02:33.000
Iran has, according to their leader, 0% homosexual population.
00:02:38.000
Yeah, Iran's worse than Russia because Russia has...
00:02:42.000
People that are outside of the control of the government that are just freely speaking, that are talking about homosexual problems and like Pussy Riot.
00:03:04.000
You know, there's a kind of a, I don't know, selling point from them that they're trying to be progressive thinkers.
00:03:15.000
Some of them will disguise it as that, but they're definitely not fucking around, dude.
00:03:19.000
Someone from Russia, some government agency, made a tweet about freedom of the press.
00:03:25.000
About respecting the press and appreciating the press.
00:03:30.000
And someone, some journal said, this is a country that has literally, like this administration, has literally been responsible for murders of dozens of people that are journalists.
00:03:42.000
Like, when people would report on them, or people would, running against certain members of the government, they would just whack them.
00:03:51.000
And even more disappearances, which is slang for murders.
00:03:57.000
We just don't want to explain it, so they, I don't know.
00:03:59.000
I can't wait to go back and see how much it's changed.
00:04:10.000
But to hang out with Russian guys and ask them questions that I asked when I was in college.
00:04:15.000
I remember asking them about black people and they were like, oh, no, no, no.
00:04:30.000
Roy Jones Jr. has been going over to Russia for a long time.
00:04:50.000
He looks like Putin's shaking his hand too hard.
00:05:36.000
Yeah, he just announced that he's doing a Latin American tour.
00:05:44.000
Dude, what's the guy that ran 25 marathons in 25 days?
00:05:48.000
Eddie Izzard did shows in German and doesn't speak German.
00:05:56.000
I've been trying to tell the machine in Spanish, and I know Spanish, but it's fucking still hard as fuck.
00:06:03.000
Do you want to know what it takes to run 26 marathons in a row when you don't even run?
00:06:10.000
I mean, there's videos of it where they show his feet, where he takes his socks off.
00:06:17.000
I mean, his skin is raw and open, and they're taping it up and bandaging shit.
00:06:32.000
He's in full woman's regalia, but he says, but I fancy the ladies.
00:06:39.000
He just likes dressing like a woman, but he's a man.
00:06:46.000
He dressed like that, then he stopped dressing like that.
00:06:57.000
Yeah, but also the kind of will that you have to have.
00:07:05.000
But he did, and he also wasn't at charity, right?
00:07:13.000
If you run through there, they're going to kill you.
00:07:17.000
We're going to pick you up in a car, we're going to take you past that, and then we're going to follow you in cars.
00:07:21.000
We can't even be with you in a car while you're running, or they'll kill you.
00:07:30.000
Bro, there's parts of South Africa that are rough.
00:07:35.000
Apparently, carjacking down there is just out of fucking control.
00:07:45.000
I bought like 40 soccer balls for all the kids, right?
00:07:47.000
Because we were going to play soccer with them.
00:08:01.000
You're going to give every kid that's in here a soccer ball?
00:08:04.000
He's going to all get fucking murdered on the way home because someone will kill them for their soccer ball.
00:08:16.000
Especially, think of all the, I mean, we spend the night, we party that night, some, one of the, it was like one of these.
00:08:32.000
Everyone's sweaty, everyone's dark, dark, dark.
00:08:41.000
I'm outside having coffee in my little shanty thing.
00:08:44.000
Guy comes sprinting down the street and a mob is chasing him.
00:09:03.000
They put a tire around his neck and light him on fire.
00:09:28.000
And you go like, I'm not leaving this pillow for shit.
00:09:31.000
If someone steals this pillow from me, I'm lighting them on fire.
00:09:38.000
We went into the favelas in Brazil and got lost at sunset.
00:09:49.000
We took motorcycles up, and then we weren't taking them back down, so we gave guys on motorcycles our helmets, and they were fucking through the roof.
00:09:55.000
As soon as we gave them our helmets, you could see their attitude change, and they were like, don't stay up here.
00:10:01.000
And they're like, no matter what they say, don't stay up here.
00:10:11.000
No, they have a great hotel in the favela that, like...
00:10:15.000
If you had done this traveling, you'd remember more.
00:10:18.000
I don't even remember shit about Travel Channel.
00:10:28.000
No, we went in and we got lost and we found this soccer game with these kids.
00:10:36.000
No, we didn't have a camera crew because we got lost.
00:10:44.000
We're on TV. They don't know what a fucking favela is.
00:10:53.000
I can't believe we're on TV! Yeah, and then the camera crew found us and they filmed us playing soccer with the kids and then they're like, hey, we gotta get the fuck out.
00:11:01.000
And I was like, no, let's go back to the hotel.
00:11:11.000
They're above looking down at this beautiful village.
00:11:15.000
We went for real with the UFC. And they were like, do not go there.
00:11:22.000
Yeah, and then we didn't, and then Jon Jones was up there the whole weekend.
00:11:37.000
I guess he thought he could beat him in a one-on-one.
00:12:05.000
Yeah, I want to eventually, next time I take a sabbatical, I want to go through South America for a while.
00:12:45.000
I like that there was some reason for you to text.
00:12:58.000
I had to try to speak no English as much as I could.
00:13:07.000
They were like speaking about grammatical shit.
00:13:09.000
And I was like, and first of all, I haven't been in school for 25 years.
00:13:15.000
Tell us about this family that was blessed enough to have you stay with them for a month.
00:13:30.000
The first day I got there, we just sat there and like stared at each other.
00:13:39.000
The school finds homestays for people that are like...
00:13:41.000
And they just do a background check on you, or no?
00:13:47.000
They didn't even fucking Google him, apparently.
00:14:05.000
When I went, people were like, are you going to find cocaine?
00:14:07.000
I was like, I guess I should, but it was like 9am every night.
00:14:17.000
There's a big hike that starts where his prison was.
00:14:23.000
And it was like, this has nothing to do with him.
00:14:26.000
He was a garbage man who fucking killed a bunch of people.
00:14:34.000
You call this culture in your country where you leave trash?
00:14:38.000
Narcos must have changed everything for them, right?
00:14:43.000
That guy who played it, what is that guy's name who played Escobar in Narcos?
00:14:56.000
That dude didn't speak Spanish when he took that role.
00:15:07.000
No, I have Brazilian friends who can speak a little bit of passable Spanish.
00:15:11.000
For real, I feel like Italian is closer to Spanish than Portuguese.
00:15:27.000
If someone gets going in Portuguese and speaks Spanish, you definitely don't understand a fucking thing.
00:15:36.000
I always love listening to Brazilian guys talk.
00:15:58.000
Did you hear the location scout for Narcos got killed by the cartel?
00:16:06.000
Because the Mexicans are not fucking around either.
00:16:20.000
There's a couple of Mormon colonies that left America in the 1800s when they made polygamy illegal.
00:16:28.000
Including, by the way, homeboy from fucking Massachusetts.
00:16:41.000
Was a brilliant guy but could never be president because he was born in Mexico.
00:16:46.000
Because they're part of the original clan that left.
00:16:52.000
And so they moved across the border and they developed these colonies.
00:16:55.000
And so they literally have armed guards to stop them from the cartel.
00:17:00.000
And the cartel just assassinated these women and children.
00:17:09.000
The guy, Popeye, from that show, one of the murderers, he's still out and does tours of the cathedral and all those places, and he will put a gun to your head, a loaded gun, and let you take a picture.
00:17:28.000
Who the fuck is taking a gun selfie with that guy?
00:17:32.000
When I was in Australia, I was fucking wasted, and I came out of some bar.
00:17:37.000
Tour manager, really a buddy, he's a Hell's Angel guy.
00:17:44.000
And he goes, hey Bert, can you take a picture of holding a gun to my head?
00:17:48.000
I just took a picture of holding a gun to his head.
00:17:50.000
My tour manager was like, what the fuck are you doing?
00:17:55.000
There will be a picture of me holding a gun to someone's head.
00:18:06.000
They actually made a whole series about Popeye.
00:18:17.000
On one of the pieces of glass, he signed Popeye in the dust.
00:18:35.000
He served like 15, 20 years in Colombian prison, which is like a fucking...
00:19:01.000
He would bring in the Colombian national soccer team and be like, play with me today.
00:19:20.000
Did you guys see what happened with the cartel in Mexico where they had El Chapo's son, they had him arrested, and then the fucking cartel got in a shootout with the Mexican military.
00:19:33.000
At some point you gotta be like, this isn't worth it.
00:19:37.000
Well, what was really crazy, you know, I've got this guy, Ed Calderon, who's been on my podcast before.
00:19:42.000
He's one of the guys that works with the Mexican military to deal with situations that are caused by the cartel.
00:19:48.000
And he said that there was a situation with Trump, because Trump was saying that they were going to treat the Mexican cartel like a terrorist organization.
00:19:56.000
And they were going to literally, because those Mormons got killed, and they were going to start literally a military operation to go after the cartel.
00:20:08.000
And they were talked out of it by the Mexican government.
00:20:12.000
I wonder what type of firepower they actually have.
00:20:22.000
People think, well, they definitely have some big guns.
00:20:35.000
I mean, imagine if you're like the middleman between the cartel and, you know, whatever, Saudi arms dealer, and you're just like, we can't sell you stuff, and they're like, here's fucking $16 billion.
00:20:49.000
Sean Penn went down there to write an article for Rolling Stone, went and met with El Chapo, and he's one of the reasons why El Chapo got caught, right?
00:21:11.000
Look at him, he's palling around with El Chapo.
00:21:21.000
Did you ever see when Conor McGregor bought that same shirt and was taking pictures?
00:21:28.000
Connor was doing the same pose and not telling anyone.
00:21:32.000
And so everybody had to figure out what the fuck Connor was doing.
00:21:50.000
There's nothing better in the world than a joke that no one gets but you.
00:22:00.000
I mean, Connor is normally putting his fist in people's faces and talking shit.
00:22:05.000
And in that one, he's got his hand out like he's going to shake hands.
00:22:09.000
He's holding his hand out and Dos Anos isn't even thinking about shaking his hand.
00:22:15.000
Dana White's going, I'm going to make so much money.
00:22:17.000
Oh my god, I'm going to make so much money for this.
00:22:19.000
Didn't Conor McGregor's fight already sell out?
00:22:50.000
And every two years, plan a tour and then cancel it.
00:23:11.000
Birdie Boy World Tour picks up January 30th, everybody.
00:23:17.000
My kids and my wife, everyone calls me Birdie Boy.
00:23:37.000
How did you respond when you saw yourself get stabbed?
00:23:40.000
I was a little confused, and then I was like, I was like, was that me?
00:23:58.000
The president of Belarus gave him a carrot one time, and then Seagal just ate it.
00:24:06.000
You had the same outfit and everything, the fucking hair, the glasses.
00:24:15.000
Do you remember when we were in the whoops and you said, one day, Tom, your numbers were through the roof.
00:24:23.000
It was when he was filming and he was dancing all day.
00:24:27.000
What's it called on WHOOP? It's your activity level.
00:24:39.000
Well, you remember that one day where I burned 6,000 calories?
00:24:49.000
That's how you got us in the strap the year before.
00:24:57.000
I told you guys, you've got to be ready to die.
00:25:09.000
You will break the two of us in half, crying, laughing.
00:25:13.000
If just one day, on your own, you film some dance video that's better than ours, you realize...
00:25:31.000
Ari had a great idea of us recreating the scene from Dirty Dancing.
00:25:51.000
Yeah, around 75. So a buck 70 like that, that's a lot of weight, man.
00:26:12.000
This is going to be a problem no matter what because he's a foot taller than me.
00:26:24.000
The problem is if we got that close, Ari would sneak in a kiss.
00:26:35.000
Dude, I learned how to dance for that fucking Zookeeper movie.
00:26:40.000
And I got to dance with Leslie Bibb, who's hot and cool.
00:26:48.000
I wish Jennifer Grey didn't get her nose fixed.
00:26:58.000
She was great in that fucking movie about Judy Garland.
00:27:05.000
Then you saw her, and then she looked totally different.
00:27:20.000
You look at someone's lips, their lips are off, you're like, hey, what the?
00:27:26.000
She was explaining to me that she had a nose job, and I go, oh, well, it's a fucking good one.
00:27:32.000
See, this is what happens when women get the facelift, their mouth gets too big.
00:27:37.000
Yeah, because you're pulling your mouth on the sides.
00:27:54.000
Because when you're a guy and you get older, you're just a guy who's older.
00:28:00.000
All the doors are open for you because you're attractive.
00:28:19.000
So when I got a hair transplant, even when I had it, it was still ratty.
00:28:24.000
At a certain point in time, I had to make a decision.
00:28:26.000
That Bill Burbit where he's like, let's get it today.
00:28:28.000
Not 20 years ago when it looked like you got ant's legs stapled to your forehead.
00:28:37.000
I have a scar in the back of my head, so I smile.
00:28:40.000
It's a public service announcement for anybody thinking about getting a hair transplant.
00:28:58.000
My ball hair goes all the way up to my belly button.
00:29:00.000
If I just took my ball hair and put it on my head...
00:29:26.000
My ass hairs tie together when I run from cheek to cheek, like a bridge.
00:29:47.000
Yeah, I always just try to make you look worse.
00:29:51.000
I shave my asshole three times in my life, and every time I'm amazed at what my farts sound like.
00:30:05.000
All of a sudden, like, who's farting in my pants?
00:30:10.000
Dude, I try to hold my shit until I get to the studio because of these goddamn bidets.
00:30:32.000
When I have it at home, and then I'm home for like 10 days, and then you go on the road, you're like, I'm a monster.
00:30:42.000
When I got my Brazilian wax, I remember the first time I farted, it was like my ass cheeks were clapping.
00:30:57.000
You're the first person to ever say it, because no one can relate to that.
00:31:00.000
And I've always said, man, my farts were so fucking loud.
00:31:03.000
That's because your other friends are grown-ups.
00:31:11.000
Biologists and shit, people looking for lost species.
00:31:14.000
Hey, do you let the water on the bidet go into your asshole sometimes?
00:31:18.000
And then it goes out, you can almost flush it out?
00:31:21.000
If I have a shit that's kind of halfway stuck, I'll go take a shit, and then I start cleaning.
00:31:26.000
And so I'll just really concentrate that jet right in my butthole.
00:31:30.000
And it gets in there, and all of a sudden, yikes!
00:31:33.000
There was some hidden shit that was trying to hang out in there.
00:31:45.000
And then you wipe and there's something still there.
00:31:49.000
This would have been a problem in 97. That's a problem with hair.
00:31:52.000
Sometimes I wipe it with hair and the width of the smear is so disgusting that I just take a shower.
00:32:07.000
I don't want shit in the floor and the toilet paper.
00:32:21.000
Joey Diaz was telling me a story once about how he had to take a shit, so he took his shit in the bathtub, and then he had to smush it with his foot to go down the drain, and it all wouldn't go down.
00:32:30.000
And that's when it's too fat to use the toilet.
00:32:35.000
He used to leave logs and he'd say, come look at this.
00:32:42.000
His ass pushed him from the front of the toilet so he couldn't get all the way back there.
00:32:46.000
So his giant shits would land on the beach in front of the water.
00:33:03.000
Now that he texts, he's texting like a fucking ninth grader.
00:33:06.000
He's like, yo, you see the monkey on this chick?
00:33:10.000
Dude, my shits in Colombia, from all the just the greasy, oily, banuelos and chicharrones, it was the, first of all, many times a day, and it was this, it was just, probably helps.
00:33:21.000
Like, softer, like, it was like if you fed a puppy too many treats.
00:33:31.000
Bro, when Marsha was a puppy, one thing that happens to some dogs is when their babies would try to eat their shit.
00:33:37.000
And so he was shitting and trying to eat it at the same time.
00:33:39.000
So he'd spin around in a circle and try to bite it as it was coming out of the hole.
00:33:46.000
Joey told me one time that he was about shitting in the shower.
00:33:57.000
He's like, if it's like a log, I just shit, and then I just toss it to the toilet.
00:34:13.000
You throw a crumpled piece of paper, and you go for the can, and you miss.
00:34:27.000
He goes, my wife saw me do it one time, and she said, no more.
00:34:42.000
I farted once in the shower, and I shit all over the place.
00:35:05.000
And then I left, and then I came back in just to get a fresh smell of it.
00:35:09.000
Because, you know, all factory senses are weird because they don't detect smell.
00:35:15.000
That's why people in Pennsylvania who live near those cattle ranches...
00:35:21.000
Like, my parents used to live in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and I used to go to drive to visit them from the city.
00:35:26.000
There's a stretch that you drive that's all just cattle ranches and just horrible fucking smell.
00:35:46.000
That methane stuff that they talk about being a contributor to greenhouse gases, that's fucking legit.
00:35:53.000
And apparently they can do something about that if they just add a certain amount of seaweed to a cow's diet.
00:36:02.000
Smell is, it's the change in smell that you notice.
00:36:07.000
That's also why when you smoke a joint, you don't notice it.
00:36:10.000
But everybody else around you, they come, oh my god, you guys are high as fuck.
00:36:16.000
Why Indian people can live in Indian people's homes.
00:36:28.000
We got lap dances from these strippers, and they had all eaten Indian food.
00:36:33.000
I'd never smelled curry before, so I'd only grow up in Florida.
00:36:36.000
We didn't have Indian restaurants, and I lived in Tallahassee.
00:36:41.000
I was like, these are the most disgusting smelling women I've ever been with.
00:36:45.000
Cut to, probably 15 years later, I'm having dinner with my wife.
00:36:50.000
And they bring it, while we walk in the restaurant and I go, dude, this smells like a Russian hooker.
00:37:14.000
All factory senses are designed to detect changes.
00:37:18.000
Your brain sends a signal to you that you smell.
00:37:21.000
And that's why it doesn't affect you as much as someone else's.
00:37:28.000
That's why people that smell don't know they smell.
00:37:29.000
Well, there's also a thing about your farts that smell good to you, because there's something in your brain that triggers that you're having a relief.
00:37:37.000
It's like there's a build-up, and then you smell the smell, and it's like, ah.
00:37:45.000
It's like, oh, when you're in your car, and you fart, and then you start wafting the smell up to you, like, oh, not bad.
00:37:50.000
Bro, I'll fart in a pillow and take it to the face.
00:37:59.000
Do you ever fart in your bed and your wife is in the bathroom and you're like, oh my god, I gotta get a pillow out.
00:38:05.000
That's when I go, that's when I hold it down and I go, hey, do me a favor.
00:38:14.000
I know what I do is I do more theatrical stuff.
00:38:24.000
I'll do leg kicks as I fart, or I'll pull my legs back like I'm changing my diaper kind of position.
00:38:39.000
I was like, give me a fucking heads up if you're going to do this.
00:38:42.000
That one that your mom did when you caught her in the kitchen and then she turns and looks at you.
00:38:56.000
And I go, why don't you fucking tell me so I can record it?
00:39:10.000
Hold on, before you play, were you just randomly filming her?
00:39:15.000
I said something about, I go, yeah, you think you have one?
00:39:24.000
And I saw her just turn, and I go, oh, I think she might.
00:39:27.000
And, you know, the beauty of these things is, like, pull it out, and I just hit the camera from the lock screen, and then she just didn't know.
00:39:48.000
The look on her face when she turns around and she sees that camera pointed at her.
00:40:07.000
Oh, and I made merch that said, you don't know my son anymore.
00:40:19.000
Best one I ever did is, when the girls were little, like babies, I farted in a McDonald's cup, and I put my hand over it, and I went...
00:40:53.000
I was across the lobby from him in the club, and he was like...
00:40:58.000
Like, he signaled, like, I gotta tell you something.
00:41:00.000
And I ran up, and, like, it just hit me like a brick to the face.
00:41:08.000
I told this to Tom a long time ago on our podcast.
00:41:35.000
There's something so strange about public toilets where you're shitting inches away from some other person's shitting.
00:41:44.000
You know, when it's like 30 of you just sitting there.
00:41:47.000
You all came from eating in different countries.
00:41:50.000
That's what's so strange about those hookup spots for some creepy gay dudes.
00:42:10.000
And he goes, no, I was just tapping to see if he was there.
00:42:17.000
He's the one who said, when Clinton was in trouble, he was like, Clinton has been a very naughty boy.
00:42:31.000
I know you want to look at Clinton, but we're looking at you now.
00:42:34.000
Somebody who says it like that, you know, that word selection, dare I say a nasty boy.
00:42:38.000
Well, those guys were around before the internet, right?
00:42:41.000
But they probably had, like, there he is, Larry Craig.
00:42:58.000
I overreacted and made a poor decision, Craig said, of his guilty plea.
00:43:09.000
Whenever I shit and people get mad at me, I just say, I'm guilty.
00:43:15.000
He argued that the arresting officer misconstrued his actions.
00:43:19.000
What are the odds that you try to get an officer to suck your dick?
00:43:23.000
What if an officer is one of those cops that sets up speed traps?
00:43:33.000
I'm here looking for guys to suck my dick, and there's nothing.
00:43:42.000
He's out there trying to fish and he's got a fucking stick of dynamite.
00:43:55.000
If you really didn't do this, you definitely are not like that.
00:43:57.000
Under the divider hand motions and played footsie in an attempt to arrange a sexual encounter.
00:44:06.000
Prove that he's trying to arrange a sexual encounter.
00:44:14.000
Did you hear about the guy recently that got busted?
00:44:15.000
He was a pastor and he got busted trying to pay for gay sex with an Arby's card?
00:44:21.000
He pulled out the wrong card to an ARC or to an undercover officer.
00:44:28.000
He was like, I've had a lot of sugar daddies, sugar babies.
00:44:31.000
This guy, Missouri church leader, trying to pay for sex on Grindr.
00:44:43.000
I think prostitution in the gay community is a different animal.
00:44:57.000
It's more rugby rules as opposed to American football rules.
00:45:06.000
But also, like, isn't it the need for the prostitution so much less, right?
00:45:12.000
Like, I feel like guys are just like, let's just fucking fuck.
00:45:15.000
But old guys, here's the thing, because old guys, they want to fuck young guys.
00:45:19.000
And these young guys don't want to fuck them, but these young guys don't have a car.
00:45:26.000
Remember that Patrice O'Neil story where he said he pulled over to a rest stop to get some sleep?
00:45:50.000
Gay guys, before they had these apps and ways to meet up, Craigslist, they used to have little secret spots.
00:46:01.000
What was the singer George Michael thing, right?
00:46:07.000
But you know that shit had to be bumping in the fucking 80s.
00:46:12.000
Going to that park, I'm sure every gay dude in the city was like, I'll see you in BH, man.
00:46:22.000
How great would that be if the day after you found out about that park, you're like, wait, wait, wait, that park?
00:46:27.000
And you're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, around noon.
00:46:31.000
The infamous George Michael bathroom in Beverly Hills.
00:46:35.000
Man, it's gotta be fucking rough to be gay and just try to meet guys.
00:46:46.000
Remember the rule was if you had a certain color handkerchief?
00:46:54.000
There's a day at Florida State if you wore blue jeans.
00:47:01.000
They should have something more specific than that.
00:47:24.000
She said in the 90s, I think it's the Folsom Street Fair or something, she was like, guys would fist in the streets.
00:47:32.000
Yeah, she's like, I saw guys butt-fucking just up on a wall.
00:47:37.000
The first day in New York, I went out with the editor of Us Magazine, and he took me to a gay bar in the meatpacking district, and I saw a dude, can't be alive anymore.
00:47:48.000
He had stars tattooed on his buttcheeks down to his heel like he was a big Cowboys fan, but fucking...
00:47:56.000
And I saw him get fucked in the ass, and I was fresh out of Florida State.
00:48:17.000
I wonder if there's some gay guys that miss those days.
00:48:22.000
That are like, that was when we were fucking outlaws.
00:48:27.000
Did you ever hear Jeff Scott, the piano player at the Comedy Store, talk about pre-AIDS? When he was in a theater troupe?
00:48:32.000
Before AIDS. And he was like, it was a fuck fest.
00:48:36.000
I bet a lot of guys got into musicals that didn't even like musicals.
00:48:51.000
How many guys wear cologne that actually like cologne?
00:48:56.000
They're wearing cologne because they think it might, in some way, up their chance of getting laid.
00:49:01.000
My rationale has always been, any girl that will only fuck you because you're wearing cologne, don't fuck that girl.
00:49:10.000
You know, the thing is about cologne, speaking of change in your smell...
00:49:15.000
I feel like I can go a long stretch now without picking up on...
00:49:24.000
And then all of a sudden, a fucking Uber driver or someone, and you're like, Jesus!
00:49:28.000
Or you get on an elevator, and you're like, Dude, where are you from?
00:49:31.000
I love those people who are wearing this shit for.
00:49:45.000
That's a business I would not invest in, is Burt Kreischer cologne.
00:50:23.000
You got a hit in the mouth with a baseball bat.
00:50:43.000
Threw it down to third, and the kid tried to break up the play and brought the bat back.
00:51:14.000
He thought on the spot, he's like, oh, maybe I'll pretend it's my full motion.
00:51:20.000
You know, man, I never talked to the kid at all.
00:51:36.000
And he came out, and in his hand, he had my fielder's glove.
00:51:49.000
He was like, yeah, but if I take you out now, we lose the game because I can't sub before the fifth inning, so go over and finish the game.
00:51:59.000
He's not a bad guy, but he was like, hey, don't fucking cry.
00:52:04.000
It's one out, and then we'll take you to the hospital.
00:52:12.000
It either breaks you or fucks you up as a guy, or it makes you stronger as a guy.
00:52:18.000
I've had a lot of those moments with my dad where it's like, be a fucking man, and I'm glad he did it, because there's certain things.
00:52:33.000
If your teeth get knocked out, it's very likely there's some fractures in your jaw, and that could get infected.
00:52:40.000
It's like a rush to get to the hospital as quick as possible.
00:52:43.000
Do you think your dad was having some sort of PTSD? You're not in a world title fight.
00:52:50.000
I was sitting at a shortstop going, this doesn't seem fair.
00:52:54.000
My dad's like, if I take you out now, we lose the game.
00:53:08.000
I'm used to seeing people get fucked up, and I think I'd have a real problem with that.
00:53:23.000
He laughs it off, and he goes, you weren't that bad.
00:53:32.000
Spent the rest of the day getting my teeth fixed.
00:53:35.000
How long did it take before they fixed your teeth?
00:53:46.000
That was 11. In ninth grade, I had a smile I was comfortable with.
00:53:54.000
So it took like three years before you had a smile you were comfortable with.
00:54:06.000
So it was like, I want to say, this sounds horrible.
00:54:12.000
And I had like two, and then these were broken, and then At one point, I just had four teeth that looked okay.
00:54:21.000
I mean, there are people listening right now that are going through this, but you just cover your smile at times, and you don't enjoy life as much.
00:54:34.000
I think that's why I am who I am, is when I got teeth, I was like, fuck yeah!
00:54:48.000
Fuckface over here decides his new game he wants to play is Shame My Mouth.
00:54:54.000
That sounds like something Larry Craig would play.
00:54:57.000
This is so funny because this is the opposite of what I was doing!
00:55:03.000
Come up with these fucking game plans of ways to just get the focus away from my talent as a comedian and find something else to fucking focus on.
00:55:12.000
But I was going to get my teeth all redone this month.
00:55:20.000
And then I thought, I don't like those dudes or celebrities with bright white smiles that you go, you just got your teeth done.
00:55:45.000
I wouldn't mind a couple of them, getting them shaded out to match everything else, but I got one dark one.
00:55:53.000
But it's from smoking cigars and drinking coffee.
00:55:55.000
It's a dead tooth, and then that one tooth is kind of gray.
00:56:02.000
Like a prominent dead tooth, and you just want to be like, why do you have a car?
00:56:13.000
It's like there's something about, it signals to you there's something wrong with that person.
00:56:20.000
You're like, ooh, what other shit decisions are you making?
00:56:22.000
Well, I know that like a lot of people would, yeah.
00:56:25.000
I mean, it's the thing is that it's like one of the first things you notice.
00:56:29.000
You notice somebody if they have a wonky eye, for sure, and then teeth.
00:56:35.000
But a lot of people, you know, it is expensive, you know, to address that.
00:56:39.000
But my thing has always been when somebody is like, you know, something about dental, they'll go, you know, well, it's whatever, thousands of dollars.
00:56:48.000
Like, you should go, you should buy debt right now.
00:57:01.000
She got one of the best stories that's been on Ari's show.
00:57:07.000
She found out that when you pee, when you're on meth, that there's a percentage of meth in your pee.
00:57:17.000
She told a story on Ari's podcast, and it's a great story.
00:57:20.000
Well, that's the thing with mushrooms, you know.
00:57:21.000
When you trip balls, if you drink your piss, you'll trip even harder.
00:57:25.000
Yeah, a lot of psilocybin goes right through your piss.
00:57:36.000
So Jessa had all fake teeth because they'd all fallen out from meth.
00:57:47.000
Some dentist in Portland was like, yo, I can do it for free.
00:58:06.000
You made me laugh for fucking two hours on Bert's podcast.
00:58:13.000
Why do I feel worse when hot girls become addicted to meth?
00:58:20.000
It's just like a fucking great young fighter that gets into coke and crack or something.
00:58:29.000
Because you know how good her life could be, basically.
00:58:32.000
If she could become a fitness influencer, just do squats and yoga pants.
00:58:53.000
Standards, like on Instagram, because of these influencer girls.
00:58:58.000
Oh my god, there's certain girls that are just in the gym every fucking day trying to figure out new ways to make their ass pop.
00:59:08.000
I mean, in the 70s, all you had to do was just be there.
00:59:16.000
You should have seen these fucking reggaeton girls in Colombia with their asses.
00:59:54.000
Folks, if you listen to this and you need some dental work done, go to that guy.
01:00:17.000
He does a podcast that just makes you want to kill yourself.
01:00:22.000
I got a check out of these people while it was operating on them.
01:00:31.000
If you go back to when asses didn't mean anything, what was the shift?
01:00:43.000
She had great legs, but Catherine Bach did not have an ass.
01:00:46.000
When I heard Baby Got Back, This Is How White I Am, I was like, wait, you like big ass?
01:00:58.000
Well, that just shows you how segregated this country is.
01:01:01.000
When that song came out, people would be like, well, black people like that.
01:01:05.000
They would tell you, that's what black people like.
01:01:18.000
Girls like guys with big muscles, guys who are tall, guys with six-packs.
01:01:33.000
She would say a guy who's like 6'3 with a big chest and big arms and a six pack and a big hog.
01:01:43.000
Call Christina right now and see if that's what she says!
01:01:51.000
We're talking about a girl who has no emotional connection to someone.
01:01:54.000
If you asked her, write down on paper, Ryan Reynolds, right?
01:02:12.000
I saw an ass coming into Petco yesterday that was fucking insane, and I was like, I never would have been into that as a kid.
01:02:32.000
And a fucking Instagram influencer would be ashamed of that butt.
01:02:42.000
Is that the girl who's got the most insane fucking ass on Instagram?
01:02:45.000
She's one of them, but there's no one girl anymore.
01:02:56.000
Do you remember on MTV they had a show called True Life and there was a guy that got calf implants?
01:03:09.000
As someone who's never had all those muscles, I would always seek those guys and be like, I'd rather not...
01:03:24.000
You have a foreign body that's sticking inside of you.
01:03:27.000
The real problem with that is the same thing that happens to some women when they get breast implants, they get cancer.
01:03:35.000
There's new instances of ass cancer that are directly caused by these ass implants.
01:03:40.000
The ass implants, I mean, that is obviously probably the more important statistic.
01:03:47.000
Imagine getting ass cancer because you're too lazy to do squats.
01:03:50.000
Don't you find it almost more permissible, forgivable in a way to say, this woman's getting breast implants.
01:04:13.000
I know a guy who got pecking pants, and you know what I did when I saw him?
01:04:17.000
Something that I never do, which is pat him on the chest, and I didn't know he had surgery the day before, and I was like, good to see.
01:04:27.000
And that's the only reason no one wants to confess that.
01:04:32.000
Yeah, he was getting a bunch of plastic surgery, and I'm just killing himself.
01:04:52.000
And he got pec implants and they were preposterous.
01:05:06.000
But look at the picture of him when he didn't have them.
01:05:24.000
George Foreman was 74. George Foreman was like 55. Dude, he was still murking people.
01:05:28.000
He won a decision over George Foreman, which is a substantial victory.
01:05:42.000
He stopped him, dropped him with a big left hook.
01:05:46.000
He just couldn't win the big fight, and he got destroyed by Ray Mercer after Rocky.
01:05:51.000
Look at that picture of him after he got arrested.
01:05:56.000
That's him on the right-hand side, HIV positive, all fucked up after he got arrested.
01:06:04.000
I think he died of AIDS. But that was with him.
01:06:14.000
And that was him at 44. He looks like a seven-year-old man.
01:06:21.000
He got addicted to all kinds of drugs and it was just, you know, his health fell apart.
01:06:26.000
I wish someone would do a documentary on chicken.
01:06:35.000
And then he got famous from that Rocky movie, and then his whole life fell apart.
01:06:41.000
Dude, I remember we were in high school when that movie was out, and we were standing up in the aisles, like going, come on, come on, rock!
01:06:52.000
If a white boxer is decent, there's a great white hope kind of factor to it.
01:06:58.000
See, Vadovich Klitschko held the title forever, and no one gave a fuck.
01:07:02.000
Well, he wasn't American, and also he had kind of a boring style.
01:07:08.000
But in real life, he was a very good boxer up until the time that he did that Rocky movie.
01:07:13.000
But I think Pussy was just like, they were putting Pussy in slingshots and just shooting it at him.
01:07:22.000
And people thought that he was going to be the next heavyweight champion in the world.
01:07:37.000
I mean, it is one of the worst, because he gets tangled in the ropes.
01:08:00.000
He started getting tired and Ray Mercer catches him in the corner and he unloads on him and Tommy Morrison's arms get tangled in the rope so he can't go down.
01:08:12.000
I mean, it was one of the worst KOs I ever remember seeing.
01:08:31.000
Is Ray Mercer the one who fought that white MMA guy?
01:08:37.000
And that was a rough one, too, because they were supposed to have a boxing match and Tim Sylvia kicked his leg.
01:08:44.000
This is why the commission wouldn't allow it to be a boxing match, because Ray Mercer was a world champion in Olympic gold medals, and Tim Sylvia did not have an MMA fight, or did not have a boxing fight.
01:08:56.000
But he was, you know, a very high-level MMA fighter, but he was past his prime.
01:09:05.000
Ray Mercer was, I think he was 40. They had a gentleman's agreement.
01:09:17.000
And then he gets on top of him and goes, oh, I've never been able to do this before.
01:09:20.000
But I mean, the whole fight takes a few seconds.
01:09:27.000
And, you know, it was already way past Tim Sylvia's prime.
01:09:31.000
Tim Sylvia, when he was young, he was a fucking animal.
01:09:39.000
I remember one of my first fights I ever went to.
01:09:41.000
And it was when you could just kind of move up until people sat in the front.
01:09:44.000
You could just sit there, you know, like a baseball game.
01:09:46.000
And then Tim Silver was there, and Tate was there with me.
01:09:49.000
And he said hi to him, and he was wearing his belt.
01:09:55.000
And I was like, later to Tate, I was like, are they supposed to wear their belts out?
01:10:08.000
Look, man, when you're the heavyweight champion of the world, you can do whatever the fuck you want.
01:10:13.000
That would be an interesting book, Ari, is to hear maybe you and the group that...
01:10:18.000
Joe's experience with MMA has been so different, but I would love to hear an outsider's view as an insider on the growth of MMA. How it was, but then...
01:10:26.000
UFC. Yeah, because you guys were going to fights...
01:10:39.000
He's been to fights in other countries, Australia, Brazil, fucking everywhere.
01:10:45.000
When we started going, the weigh-ins was just the fight camps.
01:10:50.000
It was just the people who were with the fighters and then like 10 fans.
01:10:56.000
I went to a weigh-in that fucking 10,000-12,000 people went to.
01:11:11.000
Wait, if we go to that McGregor fight, can I go see like a weigh-in and stuff?
01:11:19.000
I feel like someone said, you know a lot about MMA. I go, I know a lot of names.
01:11:23.000
I know everything it seems like, but it's just from listening to the podcast.
01:11:37.000
This is Ari and Duncan making out because they knew the camera was on them.
01:11:48.000
I've never been to one and I went one not knowing what to expect at all.
01:11:56.000
My favorite part always is when they play the Who song.
01:12:06.000
The thing is about a fight is that a fight is inherently exciting, but the energy of those arenas makes it otherworldly.
01:12:17.000
Did you go with me to the one in Toronto where it was 55,000?
01:12:24.000
The craziest ones I ever went to was Rio and Columbus.
01:12:34.000
And no one thought Randy would win, and then he won every round.
01:12:40.000
I can't go because I'll be in Hawaii, Oahu, Maui, and Kauai.
01:12:44.000
15, 17, and 19. AriShaphir.com or AriTheGreat.com.
01:12:48.000
Yeah, it's right after New Orleans and Atlanta.
01:13:07.000
Every time I go to Hawaii, I just get drunk and lay on the beach.
01:13:14.000
I bet your version of that is different than my version of that.
01:13:20.000
Do you go for a run early in the morning so you can earn your buzz?
01:13:23.000
Nobody tries to pour water on them and save them and drag them back into the water.
01:13:27.000
You never watch a woman get hit in the head by a coconut and go, shut the fuck up!
01:13:31.000
You know what I was thinking yesterday in Colombia?
01:13:36.000
You know how they say more people die, get hit in the head by a coconut?
01:13:42.000
I saw a woman get hit on the fucking head by a coconut.
01:13:50.000
More than straight people getting AIDS, I think.
01:13:56.000
3,000 people in the United States every year from aspirin.
01:14:03.000
This legend gained momentum after 2002 work of a noted expert on shark attacks.
01:14:09.000
This statistic has often been contrasted with the number of shark-caused deaths per year, which is around five.
01:14:13.000
Yeah, but nobody ever lost an arm to a coconut.
01:14:16.000
I'd rather lose an arm than be dead from a coconut.
01:14:19.000
Hang on, can I pivot this conversation and say, can we do a mid-year, sober October, mid-year, and do the surfing challenge?
01:14:28.000
You know, the surfing challenge, what we need to do is go to Kelly Slater's place and do the indoor shit.
01:14:36.000
Apparently there's one in Waco that's really crazy.
01:14:38.000
My friend Kenny Fong, he owns Darkside Motoring in Chatsworth.
01:14:43.000
He fucking flew into Waco, Texas with their surfboards.
01:14:47.000
And people look at him like, what the fuck are y'all doing here?
01:14:54.000
Waco apparently has a giant indoor surf joint, just like Kelly's place.
01:15:03.000
They should have like rubber sharks that come in every once in a while.
01:15:17.000
Dude, Kelly did a 24-7 on HBO for Kelly Slater for him competing in this year's Triple Crown.
01:15:33.000
And you can learn how to surf on these motherfuckers.
01:15:38.000
Dude, that's so much easier because you don't have to wait to get a wave.
01:15:41.000
You don't have to learn where to sit on the fucking...
01:15:46.000
That 24-7 for Kelly Slater, everyone's got to watch it.
01:15:57.000
The celebrity of living where I lived was that Kelly...
01:16:06.000
So I was in Vero, and Sebastian's north of Vero, and they're like, Kelly Slater surfs at Sebastian.
01:16:14.000
I mean, Ron John was out of Cocoa Beach, but you knew Kelly Slater was Cocoa Beach.
01:16:21.000
And I was like, you go out in the lineup and you're just looking around when you're a kid going, is Kelly Slater going to be here?
01:16:27.000
I knew his name when I was fucking 12, 13. There's a certain celebrity that comes with being a wave rider, like a badass wave rider.
01:17:04.000
No, but people squash that shit and they don't say it publicly.
01:17:07.000
He was on your podcast and he was talking about like, oh, I used to get obsessed with ping pong.
01:17:28.000
If he was going to win, I think he was going to definitely retire.
01:17:35.000
Go to Perfect 10. Kelly Slater, Perfect 10. This wave, Joe, is like...
01:17:48.000
The drop-in's fucking sick, and it closes out on him.
01:17:54.000
So he's through it while it's closing on top of him and hitting him in the face.
01:18:03.000
Do you think that that feeling right there is like a perfect show where you get a standing ovation?
01:18:11.000
He's hitting him in the face as he's trying to stay on board.
01:18:17.000
He's like, if I can just get through here, I've got it.
01:18:29.000
I've had that coming off stage before, but I can't be like that.
01:18:32.000
But he's also 47 and still able to do this, which is incredible because you've got to think that for high-level athletics like this, that is...
01:18:41.000
Oh, he's competing against 22-year-olds for sure.
01:18:46.000
Do you think he knows halfway through this, like, oh, this is on the pace right now for perfection?
01:18:51.000
Dude, you've got to see this 24-7 because he talks about getting out in the lineup and going, like, sometimes the waves just don't show up.
01:19:02.000
This looks like a shit wave, and it may fuck me over, but obviously these are my words.
01:19:09.000
And on this thing, he pulls out like a fucking nine on a wave, and everyone's like, what the fuck?
01:19:18.000
That wave, I saw that because I just watched that thing, and Andrew Schultz is a big surfer.
01:19:27.000
They have Long Beach people surfing Long Beach.
01:19:29.000
And he moved out to LA to go to school up at Santa Barbara to go surfing.
01:19:36.000
And then he got out there and was like, fuck this.
01:19:43.000
Kelly Slater gets the perfect 10 and all his competition is 22-year-old guys.
01:19:50.000
He's like, you should see the fucking three girls I fucked this morning.
01:20:06.000
But you should have seen Kelly Slater with hair.
01:20:18.000
This is the part of the podcast that he's not going to enjoy.
01:20:31.000
It's amazing when you're that handsome that you get anything done.
01:20:37.000
That's the problem with really, really good looking guys.
01:20:49.000
With Pamela Anderson back when she was Pamela Anderson.
01:20:51.000
Kapow, before she was fucking Julian Assange in an embassy somewhere.
01:20:57.000
Why would she fly all the way over there and not fuck him?
01:21:01.000
You ever see her in The View just laying down the fucking truth to those ladies?
01:21:05.000
And they treated her like a model and she was like, no, no, I've actually researched a bunch of information I'd like to talk about.
01:21:15.000
They should do a fantasy camp of chicks you could fuck.
01:21:18.000
The view is this, but they talk about serious shit and people take them seriously.
01:21:23.000
Yeah, but there's two more, and they're cackling over each other and yelling at each other and telling each other to calm down.
01:21:29.000
The thing is, though, they're not even friends.
01:21:31.000
That's what's weird about that show that'll never work.
01:21:44.000
They have like the blonde lady who's a Republican.
01:22:09.000
It's funny to think of what goes in to producing The View and what it is, right?
01:22:18.000
But I'm saying you think of the production, the people, the makeup, the grips, the sound people, the producers taking notes, and then you're doing this is the same thing.
01:22:31.000
Like, the conversation is happening, but without all the nonsense.
01:22:39.000
Well, I bet that show would be better if you just let them just talk.
01:22:50.000
Right, but what do you think it gets on an average day?
01:22:57.000
I think it's like all these housewives at home with nothing to do with their dumb, boring lives.
01:23:07.000
No, it's not 20. Let's flip it the other way, okay?
01:23:12.000
What could you add from what they have, their business model, that would increase, would better your show?
01:23:24.000
Maybe they could put makeup on my head so I wouldn't be so shiny.
01:23:36.000
The difference is how many people are fans and how many people are just flipping through channels.
01:23:54.000
Norm at one point says, I've never had consensual sex with a woman.
01:24:03.000
He just got tripped up in his words, and he was on this apology tour, and he was like...
01:24:10.000
It's right as his Netflix show is about to air.
01:24:14.000
And he gets in big trouble because he's on Stern.
01:24:26.000
And when he's on Stern, instead of saying, like, you'd have to be retarded to laugh at this or to think this, he'd be like, you'd have to have Down syndrome.
01:24:37.000
He thinks that's better because he thinks Down syndrome is okay to say, but retarded is bad because it's the R word.
01:24:45.000
So he says it a bunch, and they're about to launch the show.
01:24:49.000
So, of course, like, you know, everybody involved is, like, panicking.
01:24:53.000
Like, you need to make it clear you have a new show launching.
01:25:02.000
And he is, you can see, you can mute this and watch this.
01:25:06.000
He is eating mints, like, as he, and popping them in his mouth.
01:25:21.000
I've never even had consensual sex with a girl.
01:25:23.000
And they're like, Norm, you've never had consensual sex with a girl?
01:25:25.000
He goes, why would I? And they're like, I think you're misspeaking, Norm.
01:25:45.000
We can't tell the full story because I think Norm wouldn't be comfortable with it.
01:25:48.000
But do you remember the time right before the election where you had a vape pen that was really strong and Norm came back?
01:26:12.000
Guys that don't smoke weed a lot, they just do it occasionally, they think they remember what weed is.
01:26:19.000
This weed that they're fucking with today is a different animal.
01:26:22.000
And the pen is so innocuous, it's just vaporizing.
01:26:33.000
I smoked with him one time in a parking lot in Irvine right before I was with Ryan Sickler.
01:26:41.000
And we met Norm and we were about to go in and he smoked.
01:26:50.000
He doesn't need like handing some time alone to get my mind right before this.
01:26:57.000
He takes a fucking monster hit of strong weed and he starts coughing, like coughing enough to make like a tear cum where you're like...
01:27:06.000
And then we walk into the Irvine Improv and they're announcing him.
01:27:10.000
He just walks on stage and he just starts talking about the soda he's drinking and killing with it.
01:27:16.000
Like just off the top of his head, just totally comfortable.
01:27:21.000
Him and Stanhope changed the way I did this next special.
01:27:28.000
That when you see them, they're not doing their like...
01:27:30.000
There's nothing wrong with it, but they're doing the exact same type of stuff they did in the last one.
01:28:04.000
And he goes, so we could write one, couldn't we?
01:28:09.000
And I was like, yeah, why the fuck aren't we fucking with the format?
01:28:23.000
Norm, this for me was like, why aren't we sometimes taking a step back to take a step forward, right?
01:28:32.000
I see the neighbor and I said, hey neighbor, what do you do for a living?
01:28:36.000
The neighbor says, Norm, I'm a professor of logic down at the University of Science.
01:28:43.000
He goes, well, Norm, it's hard for me to explain.
01:28:51.000
And he goes, well, then you must have a dog, logically.
01:28:56.000
And if you have a dog, logically, I can assume you must have a child.
01:29:02.000
He goes, well, if you have a child, logically, I can assume you must be married to a woman.
01:29:08.000
He goes, Norm, then logically I can assume you're a straight white male.
01:29:16.000
So the next day, Norm's down at a bus stop having a cigarette, sees another one of his neighbors.
01:29:20.000
The neighbor says, Norm, did you meet the new neighbor?
01:29:25.000
He goes, he's a professor of logic down at the University of Science.
01:29:29.000
And he goes, well, it's hard for me to explain, but it's much easier for me to show.
01:29:52.000
Because that's a problematic word, and it's banned.
01:30:13.000
It's a great joke, but that old school joke writing, we all stepped away from, but what if we could tether ourselves to it a tad bit in what we're doing now?
01:30:24.000
Mark Norman does, but stand up going, I'm writing knock-knock jokes, just for a writing exercise, where you go, what if you just wrote a book?
01:30:51.000
Promoting it ahead of time, but you can still promote it ahead of time.
01:30:56.000
I think they actually do request at Netflix that you don't release the time.
01:31:34.000
Like, I like guys that go against grain, but like Burr, I feel like Burr every time does something different, like challenges himself with an act out or something.
01:31:44.000
He was like, figure out what to do bad and then just only do that for a while.
01:31:47.000
Yeah, he's like, I didn't do like the back and forth conversation style bit.
01:31:52.000
I'm going to work on that in this special and then he'll be in that special.
01:31:56.000
I know what you're talking about because I talked to Burr about this too.
01:31:58.000
It's the one with this, when he adopts the two sons.
01:32:02.000
I watched that on my treadmill, drinking wine in my man cave, and I went...
01:32:06.000
Wait a minute, you're drinking wine on the treadmill?
01:32:23.000
I think not enough people challenge themselves to get outside the box, I think.
01:32:36.000
Because what happens, Joe, is that it becomes...
01:32:39.000
It becomes too much for you to remember on stage.
01:32:42.000
So what I do is I'll write bullet points of things that pop for me, but to sit and longhand write, it becomes too much information.
01:32:53.000
I get too, like, presentational when I do that, too.
01:32:57.000
I try to recite it as I wrote it instead of just, like, just say it.
01:33:00.000
Do you have any bits that feel, like, that are so word-specific they feel like you're reciting?
01:33:09.000
Off the road for a while, and then I try doing it at a club, like a comedy store or The Stand or something like that, and then I start doing it.
01:33:16.000
I'm like, oh, I'm reciting this instead of talking to an audience of 40 or 50. It feels weird.
01:33:24.000
The more time you spend in preparation, and this is something that I didn't start doing until about two years ago, actually preparing for shows, like going over notes.
01:33:34.000
And one of the things that I have in the writer of my contract, I write...
01:33:45.000
And you also have all white couches and white flowers in your dressing room.
01:34:01.000
Tommy Davidson's a white limo has to pick me up.
01:34:10.000
You guys are saying those are not the same people?
01:34:13.000
I actually worked at a club once where they were like, there was somebody here who requested a white, here's the thing, it wasn't like a white limo, they were like a white Yukon.
01:34:27.000
And they did not pick it up and that person chose to wait at the airport.
01:34:32.000
That's what I heard was Tommy Davidson, it was a story I heard like that.
01:34:36.000
I love those people who are like, I put these crazy things in my writer to make sure they're reading it, but that's the only thing they put in their writer.
01:34:43.000
So it's like, you're not putting it in for that, you want that thing.
01:34:50.000
You gotta put things in your writer or people don't take you seriously.
01:34:54.000
But I don't know anybody who's legit that has wacky things in their ride.
01:34:58.000
Do you remember when they asked you guys, do you want a rider?
01:35:03.000
Most people don't even know what we're talking about.
01:35:05.000
If you're a performer and you work a venue, you have the option to basically make requests of things you want in your green room so that you feel happy and comfortable to perform.
01:35:17.000
But at first it was like, make sure there's some water, I guess, backstage.
01:35:23.000
Buffalo trays, whiskey, Cabernet, meat tray, fruit.
01:35:34.000
I have a meat and cheese plate, a veggie plate, water, both flat and still, coffee, tea, and that's, you know, all I have.
01:35:43.000
I mean, it's insane when you see, like, usually what musicians can really drive it up.
01:35:50.000
Chappelle has all red lights in his dressing room.
01:35:53.000
That's kind of cool, though, because I'll tell you what, when you're in a poorly lit room...
01:35:56.000
It's a cool vibe unless you're the guy that's gotta go find fucking red lights.
01:36:00.000
But the lighting fucking makes a difference, man.
01:36:04.000
Like, shitty, like, over office light, you know, overhead.
01:36:08.000
Yeah, it was real bright in the other classroom.
01:36:11.000
That doesn't make you feel like going out there.
01:36:13.000
One time we were in the green room, and it was your green room, and you invited the ring card girls back just to hang and stuff.
01:36:19.000
And I was trying to get my head, get ready for a fucking big show, and these squawking fucking hot chicks.
01:36:25.000
I was like, I just sit in the stairwell to fucking collect my thoughts.
01:36:28.000
Do you remember the story I told you about sitting next to a ring card girl one time on a flight home?
01:36:35.000
This is fucking, I don't know how many years ago.
01:36:38.000
I did a gig with you, and then I had a different flight.
01:36:42.000
And one of the ring card girls was sitting across the aisle from me.
01:37:00.000
And then the flight attendant came up and they're like, are you saying something?
01:37:11.000
And then they're like, she didn't press a button or say excuse me.
01:37:18.000
Until somebody was like, oh, I guess you want water.
01:37:25.000
You're so hungover you can't say, can I please have some water?
01:37:42.000
You can't be in the green room with a bunch of people that don't understand what you're going through.
01:37:47.000
You know, one time we did a show, we did this fucking end of the world show at the...
01:37:59.000
We did one for 2012 with Stan Hope and Diaz and Honey Honey.
01:38:04.000
And for whatever reason, the agents all decided it was a party in my fucking green room.
01:38:14.000
They all knew that it was in L.A., so they all wanted to come.
01:38:19.000
And I was like, hey, I'm getting ready for a show.
01:38:29.000
They treated it like it was the green room of a sitcom.
01:38:33.000
Post-show, I don't care if a serial killer comes in the green room.
01:38:37.000
Pre-show, I like a real chill, fucking low-key vibe.
01:38:58.000
We're like, hey man, how you doing with your agent?
01:39:03.000
Have you had an opener that you don't know bring people?
01:39:23.000
And it sounds crazy if you're listening or whatever and you're like, what are you talking about?
01:39:26.000
Well, when you get to the venue and you're going to do a show, for most people, they want it like...
01:39:41.000
I mean, if there's a stranger, at most you're going to be like, hello, and then nice to meet you, and then they're going to leave because they understand you're about to do a thing, right?
01:39:54.000
You're just like, I just want a relaxed atmosphere, right?
01:40:05.000
It was him, his wife, two small children, and then the promoter- So he was a new comic.
01:40:14.000
And the promoter came by and was like, hey, how's it going?
01:40:16.000
I was like, it's cool to know we're doing a fucking daycare here today.
01:40:20.000
And I go, well, I mean, I don't- Really know him, but I'm meeting his children right now in the fucking green room of this.
01:40:30.000
He didn't even ask if it was okay to bring my family in?
01:40:33.000
I'll feel bad if I know somebody and they're in there and I'm headlining and an opener's in there.
01:40:38.000
I'm like, it's your green room, too, because you're also performing.
01:40:41.000
But, like, I don't want my friends in there imposing on the opener.
01:40:56.000
Or a local comic who's not on the show comes by to hang out and just shoot the shit.
01:41:01.000
I wrote off a dude that I was friends with for a while when I shot this special in Cleveland who wanted to just come hang out backstage.
01:41:13.000
In between shows, I'm getting notes from That's a huge night.
01:41:18.000
And I just was like, and he sent me a nasty fucking email about me being a liar about not having a guest list.
01:41:23.000
And I was like, alright bro, I guess I'll never speak to you again.
01:41:33.000
He sent you a nasty email saying you're a liar?
01:41:37.000
Because you said you didn't have a guest list because you wanted to come backstage and hang out?
01:41:42.000
And I was like, hey man, I'm in a different spot.
01:41:45.000
I've got the people that have been touring with me.
01:41:47.000
Did he not understand that you were doing a special?
01:41:58.000
And then all of a sudden you're fighting with someone on the day you're special.
01:42:04.000
It's like, fuck you for putting me in a position of am I special to have to fight with you?
01:42:18.000
Don't get me into it because it'll spin me out.
01:42:24.000
I'll never put you in a situation where I go, like, yo, Joe, can you get my buddy on?
01:42:30.000
When people come and go, hey, can you get me on Joe's?
01:42:33.000
I go, if I'm your friend, I'm only your friend.
01:42:37.000
The worst is when you're doing a weekend at a club and some guy asks to do a guest set.
01:42:59.000
Here's how opposite of that, because I feel so...
01:43:07.000
I actually went to a show one time and was asked if I wanted to do a guest spot, and I was like, that's inappropriate for me to say.
01:43:19.000
It's people that are entitled versus people that aren't entitled.
01:43:21.000
I know this from knowing Tom as long as I've known him, and Ari as well.
01:43:26.000
None of us are the kind of guys that were like, next step.
01:43:30.000
What's the next step in this business to get forward?
01:43:34.000
I was always like, I want to find my group and I want to be safe.
01:43:39.000
I want to do what I do and have them be like, hey man, that was not good or this was good as friends so that I knew that what I was doing as an art form was safe.
01:43:48.000
I never was like, dude, get me on your fucking thing.
01:43:55.000
And there's also people that get upset that you don't use them to open when you use other people that they think are their equal to open.
01:44:03.000
But it's just like, what do you mean I'm friends with them?
01:44:07.000
Also, by the way, not getting your shit together to open a big...
01:44:12.000
If I had the balls to ask you to open one of your shows, I would come to it at least...
01:44:25.000
So that when you do it, you're like, this is a good decision.
01:44:28.000
I would be way more nervous as a younger comic opening up for you than you would be.
01:44:43.000
And the week after that in D.C., Dom was there.
01:44:48.000
And then Eleanor told him later, like afterwards, Ari was there.
01:44:52.000
He was going to ask you, but he was felt embarrassed.
01:44:56.000
I was going to put him in position in case he was like, uh.
01:45:03.000
I've got to give a shout-out to Mike Birbiglia.
01:45:05.000
One time I was in town shooting something in Tampa for TripFlip or Travel Channel.
01:45:10.000
Mike Birbiglia was at the Tampa Improv and we were having sushi next door.
01:45:13.000
And I was like, I'm going to sneak my head in and just say hi or whatever.
01:45:18.000
I think Birbiglia to this day is one of the best storytellers around.
01:45:24.000
I honestly don't know if I would have the balls to be doing what I'm doing right now if Birbiglia hadn't been the first guy to tell a long story.
01:45:30.000
Yeah, he really was the first one I remember on a stand-up stage doing that.
01:45:36.000
And he used to write a blog and his blog became really popular.
01:45:54.000
And I stick my head in the green room and I go, Hey man, Bert Kreischer...
01:46:01.000
And I remember the look on his face was so deer in headlights.
01:46:20.000
The real problem is I've given guys a guest set and then they go on and they cover a topic that you cover.
01:46:32.000
If somebody opens for you, and then you're like, you have something like that, and then they keep opening for you, and then you're like, you see that I'm doing this, right?
01:46:54.000
I'm always afraid, too, they're going to be like, if they do something and then you do it, like, hey, I didn't take this from you, just so you know.
01:47:03.000
Well, it's just some guys will try to kill so that you bomb.
01:47:09.000
That's always an issue if you go to a place and these fucking guys have never seen you before and they're like, Tom Segura.
01:47:17.000
You know, and they'll, you know, they'll just...
01:47:24.000
They just gotta see me and then they'll be following me.
01:47:30.000
If they drive up that local shit, you know they're whack as fuck immediately.
01:47:33.000
If they lean into it hard, it's one thing to make one or two comments, but if they do six minutes on local...
01:47:46.000
Yeah, but it was so sad when I would go on the road.
01:47:57.000
If I could find a time machine, I would go back to Boston in the late 80s, and I'd have Joe Rogan open for me, and I would just take him with me and be like, so, hey, tell me what you think about aliens.
01:48:10.000
And then just simply like, you know, I haven't really thought about it a lot yet, but I've been reading these books.
01:48:14.000
I'm just starting to develop some thoughts on it.
01:48:15.000
It is so funny to be able to know somebody for a long time and then look up shit like 20 years ago.
01:48:23.000
I can watch clips of you, myself, and I'm like, ugh.
01:48:29.000
The weirdest part about being friends with you is I was a fan of yours before I was friends with you.
01:48:34.000
When you and Brian were doing that Joe show, I was like fucking so into that.
01:48:39.000
I was into this podcast before I ever got on the podcast.
01:48:42.000
I remember telling you one time about you with Janet Jameson.
01:48:47.000
You're like, I've never been with Janet Jameson.
01:48:48.000
I was like, I'm fucking pretty certain I saw it.
01:48:51.000
I was like, I'm pretty sure there's a video out there of you guys at a party.
01:49:01.000
I definitely didn't say I never met Janet Jameson.
01:49:07.000
If there is an astute person, you will hear it on the podcast.
01:49:12.000
This is way before she started dating Tito Ortiz.
01:49:36.000
He's giving a version of the story that doesn't make sense.
01:49:39.000
But yeah, it is crazy to know of people's past lives.
01:49:43.000
I'll tell you what I would love a fucking documentary about is the store.
01:49:51.000
Mike Binder's doing it, and he's doing it real slow, which makes you give real hope that it's going to be good.
01:50:05.000
I wish it was a documentary knowing full well about it.
01:50:22.000
But I'm curious always to know about the store when I wasn't there.
01:50:31.000
Okay, for stand-up shows, sure, it was the worst.
01:50:43.000
Okay, I knew it as the employee section, so I don't know about the people who were like 10, 12-year comics.
01:50:47.000
But as the employees, it was like we ran the place.
01:50:54.000
We would go sneak in the back to see the mainstream comics who were fucking in the back.
01:51:03.000
I'm scared of any alcohol that I didn't pour in my...
01:51:17.000
I want to know why certain personalities didn't get closer.
01:51:24.000
In knowing them as adults, they should be closer.
01:51:38.000
There was some camaraderie with door guys and stuff like that.
01:51:41.000
The problem was there was this leftover shit from guys who were all struggling to get sitcoms.
01:51:49.000
They were all struggling to be the host of a talk show.
01:51:56.000
It was good when there was a level of acceptance that the place was a failure and that we were just in it for jokes.
01:52:02.000
And then we're like, we're not going to get anything because Bobby Lee was like the most successful guy because he was on Mad TV. The thing that was going on that was weird was that the guys that were at the higher level, there was a few that were left over.
01:52:12.000
They had seen Kinnison take off and they had seen David Letterman take off and they were still there.
01:52:18.000
Yeah, there was a few of those guys that were left behind, and they were very bitter, and they did not like young guys.
01:52:27.000
Like today, when young guys are coming up, or young girls, anybody who's funny at the store gets love.
01:52:32.000
You know, whether it's a doorman, or somebody who works the booth, there's no, like, there's no, anyone, no one's trying to hold anybody down.
01:52:41.000
The internet changed it all because we all have a platform to help now.
01:52:45.000
Whereas before, it was like the only way you got successful was through television.
01:52:52.000
And if Tommy got a TV show, you were like, fuck, that could have been my show.
01:52:57.000
And so there was this backstabby, weird fucking competition back then.
01:53:06.000
If you get like Santino, suddenly from like no podcast to a successful podcast, now everybody's like, oh, that's another platform I can go on.
01:53:15.000
It's also like when someone gets a Netflix special or something, everybody gets happy.
01:53:20.000
And they also see like, hey, if you bust your ass and you're good and you work hard, you can get one too.
01:53:31.000
I got a sitcom and I came out here in 94. I came out with a sitcom.
01:53:36.000
So when I came out here, I came out here to do a sitcom and what was more important to me than anything was being a paid regular at the store.
01:53:43.000
The sitcom was just, I felt like it's going to get cancelled eventually.
01:53:46.000
I'm just going to make some money while I can and this is way more money than I ever thought I could ever make.
01:53:52.000
And so then I would be hanging around at the store, but there was no friends.
01:53:58.000
Who was there when you first went to the store?
01:54:13.000
He's like Mitzi's driver back in the fucking day.
01:54:15.000
Did you know that he's passed at the Magic Castle?
01:54:34.000
And I was like, hey, do you get nervous when your parents...
01:54:38.000
And I was like, do you get nervous when your parents see you?
01:54:51.000
Yeah, he used to bang Mitzi when he was a young fella.
01:54:58.000
She was straight up like, if you want to get up, you got to get it up.
01:55:12.000
But back then, it was like a few big guys would stop in.
01:55:23.000
He's friendly with me now, but back then I would go on after him.
01:55:37.000
Should I light another cigar or are we getting done close to none?
01:55:40.000
No, I'm going to re-light this one, but you can light another one.
01:55:43.000
This to me, I think, is such a compliment to him, but I mean it sincerely, because I was obsessed.
01:55:50.000
I would go in our basement to watch Def Jam, because I couldn't watch that in the living room.
01:56:03.000
They're so charismatic that I would look forward...
01:56:10.000
Like, to him coming back just to introduce the next person.
01:56:19.000
Back then, I was a young comic who was not very good, and I used to have to go on after him.
01:56:26.000
Whenever someone was good, I would be on after them.
01:56:28.000
Anybody who crushed, whether it was Dice or anybody who was good, Martin Lawrence, I would go on after Martin Lawrence.
01:56:52.000
When I was first starting out, Mitzi thought I was okay, but I could work as a non-paid regular.
01:56:59.000
And I was, you know, I think I was 26. And so I was doing sets at the store after the show.
01:57:07.000
So the show would go on to, like, whatever, 1 o'clock in the morning, and I was there every fucking night.
01:57:21.000
I knew that I could get a spot at 1 o'clock in the morning if I waited.
01:57:30.000
And there was very few people in the crowd, but...
01:57:40.000
So I'd go and I'd sit around and I'd wait and I'd watch.
01:57:44.000
I had the sitcom that I was doing during the day.
01:57:48.000
I had just moved here, so I'd just hang around the store.
01:57:50.000
And I was really disappointed because the store was mecca to me, man.
01:57:54.000
Back when I lived in Boston, I was like, I heard about the comedy store.
01:57:58.000
And we were all like, one day we're going to go to the comedy store in L.A. And I went there and there was these bodaks, man.
01:58:07.000
There were so many bad comics that had missed the wave, right?
01:58:11.000
There was a wave in the 1980s where basically anybody could be a comic.
01:58:17.000
And I'm looking at my cat and I'm like, what is this, Wild Kingdom in my living room?
01:58:22.000
And there was these fucking shucking, jiving, non-perspective-having guys, and a few of them lingered.
01:58:30.000
And so those are the ones that were at the store.
01:58:35.000
Kinison was huge in 88. You've got to realize, that's only six years.
01:58:38.000
So Kinison's huge in 88, and then he dies in 92, right?
01:58:44.000
I'm living in New York when he died, and then I'm in LA two years later, and the fucking place is a ghost town.
01:58:55.000
Well, I kept hearing about all these celebrities that would come to the comedy store to see Kinison.
01:58:59.000
And I was like, wow, they all came to see Kinison?
01:59:02.000
Like all these fucking rock stars and Keith Richards and fucking...
01:59:06.000
Movie stars and Belushi and all these guys would come to the comedy store.
01:59:12.000
So by the time I got there, you know, the comedy store's gone through these in the past.
01:59:18.000
But I stayed, I was there for like six months and this guy, the Todd, was there, right?
01:59:29.000
Anyway, the Todd had like a severe mental episode where he literally, something went wrong.
01:59:37.000
Like some sort of a disease, something went wrong mentally and he lost his mind.
01:59:42.000
But before he lost his mind, he sat down next to Mitzi.
01:59:46.000
So when Mitzi tried me for my second showcase, I went up and I did my set.
02:00:11.000
He goes, I sat down next to Mitzi and I laughed really hard.
02:00:13.000
Because I came offstage and Mitzi goes, you're past.
02:00:23.000
Granted, I'm on a television show at the time, right?
02:00:43.000
They're really funny, really talented, really smart guys.
02:00:50.000
And they brought in all the hacks and they chopped it up.
02:01:06.000
I think by then I might have gotten an apartment in North Hollywood.
02:01:10.000
I got an apartment in North Hollywood a few months in because I figured it was going to stick around for a while.
02:01:15.000
And then she gave me the thing and Todd pulled me aside and he goes, hey.
02:01:19.000
He goes, I sat down next to Mitzi and I laughed really hard.
02:01:22.000
And he goes, that's how you get someone passed.
02:01:24.000
And he goes, one day you're going to do that for people too.
02:01:31.000
Because this terrible comedian was supposed to do the hosting gig.
02:01:37.000
And I found out McGuire was going to do his showcase.
02:01:40.000
Missy thought it was funny to put this terrible comedian up and have him host.
02:01:44.000
I like how you're intentionally not saying his name.
02:01:51.000
So I called up, and this is when I was on news radio.
02:02:00.000
So I came down and hosted open mic night just for McGuire.
02:02:05.000
I sat down next to Mitzi while people were showcasing, funny people, and I just laughed.
02:02:19.000
Still, if somebody's doing well, I can't see through, or not doing well, I'm like, that guy's bad.
02:02:29.000
And then one day, I didn't see him for a long time.
02:02:39.000
Any relation, do you think, to the Charlie's Angel name of fucking, what's his name's character in that?
02:02:50.000
That's an old lineup for 1986. An article from BuzzFeed about the...
02:03:08.000
Look at that, 87. Was Brett Ratner that's the Brett Ratner?
02:03:22.000
And then when he came back, he was all shell-shocked.
02:03:30.000
So in 87, when Maren was there, I met him right after that in 88. Maren?
02:03:39.000
Maren gave me one of the nicest pieces of advice and compliments that anybody ever gave me when I was an open mic.
02:03:50.000
He just told me to keep going that I was funny.
02:03:59.000
Every once in a while, you would hang out and just watch the employee section.
02:04:07.000
And a guy on a sitcom that would just sit and watch us.
02:04:16.000
From my martial arts background, camaraderie and the whole team and helping everybody, having a good group, I always knew the value in that.
02:04:28.000
Now, can you watch comedy online, like on Instagram?
02:04:36.000
So what happened was one day I got there, and I hadn't seen him for a long time.
02:04:43.000
And he was hanging out in the front patio, but he was weird.
02:04:58.000
Something was really wrong, and he was just hanging around, almost like trying to remember.
02:05:05.000
Eleanor said he'd do this thing where he used to do this thing to fuck with the bartenders, where he'd take a glass and look at them and then chuck it in the garbage.
02:05:13.000
But he didn't remember that he had had a camaraderie with the bartender, and he would just remember that he had done that, so he would go up and take a glass and put it in the garbage.
02:05:29.000
And it was the first time I'd ever seen anybody be fine and then be gone.
02:05:42.000
And it influenced me, too, to make sure that I passed that on.
02:05:50.000
Not even like, I'm doing you a favor, but like, things like that, like you said, like, you know, what Todd did, or like, you know, just like helped you, where you're like, oh, that was a big help.
02:06:14.000
I mean, she won't pay for her flight, but it'll make enough money to pay for your flight.
02:06:28.000
It stinks that it turned out the way it did, but he was really big in, like, You know, as I always say, you learn a lot from people on both sides of the fence.
02:06:41.000
Like, I learned a lot about what I didn't want to do, because I'd watch Jay...
02:06:48.000
And I'd watch him get in his way sometimes, and I'd be like, God, man, I don't want to do that.
02:06:54.000
And Tom and I would talk privately about going like, just the weirdest fucking things.
02:07:12.000
You could give him a premise, just the silliest thing, and he could improv it on stage.
02:07:18.000
You definitely had a stroke about 20 minutes ago, huh?
02:07:33.000
Yeah, he was great in that fucking Jerry Maguire movie, man.
02:07:35.000
Are you guys capable of, like, pushing the bad parts out yet?
02:07:47.000
But yeah, but we both had negative experiences.
02:07:51.000
That's why we're not friends with them anymore.
02:08:06.000
I was the MC, he was the middle, Bert was the middle, and Jay was the headliner.
02:08:12.000
Yeah, and immediately, within like fucking five seconds, Tom and I bonded.
02:08:19.000
I remember he walked in and the Florida State game was on.
02:08:31.000
And Tom's like, yeah, I got a hundred bucks on it.
02:08:32.000
And he's like, you're making fucking 50 bucks tonight as a host.
02:08:40.000
I remember being like, I so nerded out that he went to FSU. I was like, you went to FSU? He's like, yeah, I went there for like 15 years or something.
02:08:58.000
And then he tells me, I go, oh, you guys won a national championship when you were there.
02:09:02.000
And I was like, hey, so was like, I just mentioned like a player.
02:09:07.000
And he was like, oh, I don't know any of the players.
02:09:11.000
You don't fucking, you don't know any of the guys' names?
02:09:14.000
I think I told you this, and this made you laugh.
02:09:19.000
Derek Brooks was a big player at Florida State, right?
02:09:22.000
When I was in my senior year of college, I went to the gas station and they had a single, a cassette single of Brooks and Dunn.
02:09:30.000
And I went, oh wow, our two biggest players released a single.
02:09:36.000
I'm a big fan of hip-hop, so I bought the single of Brooks and Dunn.
02:09:42.000
They weren't big yet, and I put it in, and it was country music.
02:09:46.000
And I went, so Derrick Brooks and Warwick Dunn made a country album.
02:09:53.000
I was like, one song, I was like, this is not bad.
02:09:58.000
And I think I told you that, and you were like, Brooks and Dunn is not Warwick Brooks.
02:10:19.000
So it was before the internet, so if you didn't finish school, you had to send in to the state of Florida and say, I want to finish college, and they'd give you the books that they give to the prisoners.
02:10:33.000
So if you want to get a college course in prison, they send you the books and you just do the work?
02:10:41.000
Just basically, I got the books and I got the tests.
02:10:46.000
Do you ever wonder, like, if you were in prison, like, how much shit you'd get done?
02:10:50.000
Do you seem like the type of guy that would think you'd get, like, really fit?
02:10:57.000
I would read books all day, and I would do sit-ups.
02:11:02.000
How many times would I walk myself into a rape?
02:11:06.000
Where I'd go, like, you guys weren't gonna rape me.
02:11:08.000
They're like, well, we weren't even thinking about that, but now that you brought it up...
02:11:15.000
They probably want to rape a hard guy, just for like, you know, so it's a real good win.
02:11:21.000
A good win, you know, if you rape like a gang leader.
02:11:25.000
You rape like a super twink, it's like, eh, who cares?
02:11:47.000
When you first met Tom, How quickly did you like him?
02:12:00.000
And every town that we went to, there would be a new guy that would open.
02:12:05.000
Or in Tom's case, a guy from L.A. that was somehow or another they'd signed him.
02:12:17.000
I met him when you said like, It wasn't Diaz or Duncan that week.
02:12:37.000
Recognizing that the doorman and the opening acts and the middle acts will one day be your peers.
02:12:47.000
It was this direct line from brand, brand new employee to massive theater sellout, where it's like those came from there.
02:13:01.000
But like, there were other guys who were like, straight from there too.
02:13:04.000
So it's like, it's not like you would be a dick to them, but like, they're going to be you.
02:13:09.000
And the guys who are big were like, I was that.
02:13:12.000
Well, it's like, there's a camaraderie in the game.
02:13:26.000
There's a small amount of human beings on the planet Earth that make a living telling jokes.
02:13:33.000
I did see a picture of Tom on one of your specials early on, and he was so fat.
02:13:47.000
That should be noticed that when he started fat shaming me, he was fatter than me.
02:13:57.000
It's that when you're fat and other people get fat, like, it doesn't mean that you're not fat, but they are too.
02:14:07.000
I was 240 when I started trying to lose weight.
02:14:17.000
Why do you work for the IRS? The numbers are big.
02:14:54.000
Dude, the funny thing is, when we started Sober October, it was this whole thing like, can you not drink for a minute?
02:15:18.000
You were trying to say that I didn't know Jenna Jameson.
02:15:24.000
When Jamie pulled it, this October started, do you remember where you were at the end of September?
02:15:40.000
Because he was like, I'm actually going strong beforehand.
02:15:46.000
Joe said, can you be down to 205 at the end of October?
02:15:55.000
I can't have that brain set going into a special where I'm like obsessed with my weight.
02:15:59.000
I needed to work on material and I was like, I'm going to be me, I'm going to work out, I'm going to have fun.
02:16:03.000
You looked as good as Jon Panette like six months before he died.
02:16:09.000
By the way, the fact that Tom's weight This is not brought up at all.
02:16:20.000
I believe Tom is fatter than Bert and has been for many months.
02:16:23.000
I wish you had seen the boxes I'd given your presence in.
02:16:36.000
I don't mind that because people are always pleasantly surprised when they meet me.
02:16:55.000
Ari's got a 12. I have a 13. You know what's annoying when you get an 11 in some shoes and it's too small?
02:17:11.000
I feel like you've lost some weight since the beginning of October.
02:17:24.000
I'd like to see how much I weigh after Columbia.
02:17:27.000
And then if you guys want to weigh as well, that's okay.
02:17:30.000
Joe, would you be mannered enough to weigh yourself?
02:17:40.000
I honestly have not been on a scale in a long time.
02:18:03.000
No, I did the math on both of you when you posted it.
02:18:25.000
Oh, I will get totally fucking nude and pissed.
02:18:42.000
You can put your pants back on because I'm definitely not getting on a scale.
02:18:47.000
Because, Joe, it's not like this hasn't defined the last four years of my life online.
02:18:55.000
I'd rather people think I look great than know what I wear.
02:19:33.000
That's after two weeks in Columbia with nothing but fried food.
02:19:38.000
Late in the day, chicharron today for lunch, a bandita paisa.
02:19:43.000
One thing that I did realize when you did Sober October, when we did the fitness challenge, is that if you just went whole hog and went crazy, you'd be a beast.
02:19:53.000
No, but I mean, if you worked out really hard, you'd have a good body.
02:19:57.000
Here's the thing that I learned in Sober October, and Tom kept having to say this to me over and over again, is that what makes Ari Ari is not going full hog.
02:20:12.000
I get obsessed with weight, and it starts to beat every one of my thoughts.
02:20:24.000
I'm going to wait until the fourth quarter to really turn around.
02:20:30.000
And then in the fourth quarter, you'll do it...
02:20:34.000
But there's no way you're going to be like, I'm going to study for this shit.
02:20:39.000
But when you say things, when you say things, like...
02:20:48.000
When you got down and you knew you were going to...
02:20:50.000
Did you think magically all of a sudden you would get really flexible?
02:20:57.000
We're thinking like, I've never done a split in my life, I know they're hard to do, and I can do it.
02:21:01.000
Even though I know he's a bullshitter, part of me was like, wow, Burke can do a split.
02:21:09.000
He ran four miles in his life, and then he fucking did a marathon the next day.
02:21:13.000
He's running five or six on a treadmill, which is like one in real life.
02:21:41.000
No, but I think the same fire burns for both of us, right?
02:21:51.000
No, based on the thing of, like, you can do anything, right?
02:22:00.000
You go, I can't shoot a bow and arrow a perfect shot.
02:22:06.000
I'm the opposite way where I go, just give me a shot.
02:22:17.000
I'm very objective about what I can and can't do.
02:22:21.000
You have to really look at what you're good and not good at and then work really hard at getting good at things.
02:22:34.000
It actually is really interesting to think about.
02:22:37.000
Your background is what informs that opinion you just expressed.
02:22:42.000
And his experience is that saying that sometimes works out.
02:23:04.000
You should have heard me the day I ran the marathon.
02:23:06.000
I was like, I think I can actually do anything.
02:23:09.000
Wait, didn't you say something about kicking field goals?
02:23:16.000
I feel like I could kick a 35-yarder easily with no work.
02:23:21.000
Remember when Scott Norwood missed a 35-yarder?
02:23:23.000
And they lined up, and they said everybody at Washington Stadium was going to try a 35-yarder.
02:23:33.000
I wonder how far you could actually cook a football if you've never kicked a football before.
02:23:48.000
That's why I'm wondering how far I could kick a football.
02:23:53.000
Because I could roundhouse kick shit pretty fucking hard.
02:23:59.000
You would have to take five tries to learn how to kick it straight, and then once you did that, you could go far.
02:24:06.000
Now, the thing about a field goal isn't necessarily the kicking, it's the mindset.
02:24:13.000
Can you roll into the moment under pressure and perform?
02:24:21.000
Yeah, but in a practice, let's say someone's holding it for you, right?
02:24:25.000
Or it's on one of those tees, like propped up, and you're just going through the execution of kicking a field goal.
02:24:35.000
So what they're doing to college kids now is saying, you want a scholarship?
02:24:46.000
They're not lining up a guy going, one shot, 51 yards, you can get a scholarship.
02:25:16.000
You were trying to get those guys on the scale.
02:25:22.000
So they are doing that for kids to get a scholarship because they're thinking, fuck, we need you in a pressure moment.
02:25:28.000
No bigger moment than you winning your scholarship.
02:25:45.000
But I'm telling you, it's not a fucking chip-in that the kid's doing to get a scholarship.
02:25:50.000
They do it and say, you want your fucking scholarship?
02:26:19.000
There's a guy in Nevada that gave a scholarship after he hit the game winning.
02:26:40.000
Coach offers scholarship if kicker hits 53-yard field goal.
02:26:47.000
They're offering him scholarship if he can do it.
02:26:59.000
This is closer than what we were talking about.
02:27:25.000
They're not doing that for anybody who can kick a 53-year-old.
02:27:34.000
They did it once, but it's not something they do.
02:27:51.000
I did a podcast with you at the end of September, beginning of October, and you looked like a fucking junkie.
02:28:05.000
Wait, I'm sorry, what's the name of our podcast?
02:28:30.000
He looked, for everybody, he looked dramatically different.
02:28:38.000
I weighed the other day, it was 232. What do you weigh?
02:29:05.000
By the way, I had a fourth show for my special, February 7th, fourth show, 10 o'clock show.
02:29:14.000
Spokane, New Orleans, Atlanta, Hawaii, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, and Portland, Maine.
02:29:40.000
No, you don't weigh under 500. We would definitely weigh under 500 pounds.
02:29:53.000
No, you have to weigh under 450. Yeah, we weigh over 450. Over 450 together?
02:30:11.000
Joe, what do you think Tom and I weigh in together?
02:30:23.000
You look like the dude from fucking Guardians of the Galaxy.
02:30:35.000
You wear the underwear for a guy who works out.
02:30:40.000
Stupid idiot, you don't know how to wear yourself.
02:30:50.000
205. I'd say I'm 205 right now because I've been eating a lot of carbs.
02:31:02.000
You should get a tattoo right down the middle of your tits that says, like, on it.
02:31:12.000
I meant, like, as a grown-up, this time period?
02:31:18.000
So you think you were in better shape when you were younger?
02:31:21.000
No, you should see the fucking Joe Rogan headshot on the Comedy Store wall.
02:31:31.000
How much did you weigh when you got into comedy?
02:31:37.000
But I'm supposed to be like 195. From 195. What'd you get down to in October?
02:31:55.000
What is believable that we could put you in at?
02:32:03.000
You climb on, I'm going to get right behind you like I'm trying to make sure that you weigh in and you just lean on me.
02:32:19.000
But no, Calvin leaned on his manager's shoulder.
02:32:24.000
Train, train, train, train, train, train, train.
02:32:39.000
Because it's not really because you're going to rest steady.
02:32:56.000
No, I think he's one of the best guys I've ever met.
02:34:42.000
I had Tom on my podcast, and then Bert went on and said, Tom's losing weight, and you go, no way.
02:34:58.000
He had just passed you, and you were like, let's see what we can get down to.
02:35:01.000
I could definitely get into a weight loss challenge now.
02:35:17.000
First one to 205. Tom's got nothing, except for Australia's going to be rough.
02:35:49.000
Joe, we understand that the muscle goes on the outlier.
02:35:53.000
I know, but I'm just saying, just numbers-wise, I'm obese, and then when I got to 195, I was just overweight.
02:37:07.000
It ends at 215. You guys are doing that for that chart.
02:37:24.000
We were talking about doing a power weight lifting challenge.
02:37:30.000
Who can go from what you can do now to the most weight?
02:37:48.000
What happened with me with 205, not that I could have gotten there.
02:37:50.000
I'm not going to say I could have gotten there during Sober October.
02:37:53.000
I become obsessive-compulsive about it, and I can't focus...
02:37:59.000
You had to do a special, so I was like, I got to disconnect.
02:38:01.000
When you got a special, it's like all hands on deck.
02:38:03.000
I got nothing on the books other than the Birdie World World Tour.
02:38:24.000
I could really get into a weight loss challenge.
02:38:38.000
I will, at the end of that special, start gaining weight.
02:39:14.000
He looks like fucking Magnum P.I. when he was skinny.
02:39:17.000
Bro, I'm telling you right now, a very, very attractive man.
02:39:44.000
Who's that guy on the left pretending to be you?
02:39:52.000
By the way, how great is that title for an album?
02:39:59.000
I remember that CD. Thrilled was back in the early 2000s, right?
02:40:20.000
You got a fat dimple on your chin, on your cheek.
02:40:24.000
2009. The thing about weight loss is if you guys just do the weight loss thing and just get down and wait for a day or a couple days, that doesn't help anybody.
02:40:53.000
When I eat a lot of carbs, it's just like, fuck, I can't help myself sometimes.
02:41:19.000
I used to think that's how meals were completed.
02:41:25.000
But I don't think I really eat like that most of the time now.
02:41:33.000
Weighing out everything as much as I should, you know.
02:41:43.000
You probably wouldn't feel like you're denying yourself anything.
02:41:49.000
I always feel like, too, like I'll get on a good meal plan and it's just about the discipline of sticking to it and then, you know, start doing it less.
02:42:17.000
It's the things that booze invites into my life after midnight.
02:42:29.000
Dude, you lost like fucking 30 pounds by not drinking.
02:42:36.000
Yeah, so if you lost 30 pounds from not drinking, you'd be 207. You're on 205's door.
02:42:52.000
I ate with Ralphie, man, and he would fucking...
02:43:00.000
We went to Katana once, and he ordered, like, everything, and then it was like, oh, that's great, we're all gonna eat.
02:43:09.000
The Burt's sushi experience with Ralphie is my favorite story.
02:43:19.000
Bert is like, you're an opening act at the time.
02:43:24.000
And Ralphie is inviting Bert and his wife, or Leanne, or Ralphie's wife.
02:43:43.000
And then for the next night, Bert's like, I'm going to cover.
02:43:54.000
And Ralphie starts ordering, and they're bringing boats out.
02:43:59.000
And you guys are jumping in, and you don't realize it's all for him?
02:44:06.000
And I know I'm paying for it, but he's just ordering.
02:44:19.000
Ralphie had treated you guys to, like, four meals.
02:44:25.000
I've been in this position before, too, where somebody's like, you know, you want to be like, you know what?
02:44:31.000
Like, I'm a fucking man, and I'm gonna buy dinner.
02:44:38.000
But you're not in a position to take this bill.
02:44:41.000
So, like, they bring the bill, and it's a fucking four-figure bill.
02:44:45.000
This is over a thousand dollar sushi experience.
02:45:06.000
And she goes, why are you talking to me like this?
02:45:08.000
And I'm looking at like a fucking $1,500 bill, I think it was $1,200 or $1,500.
02:45:14.000
I didn't have the money in the bank account to pay for the tip.
02:45:21.000
I think why the story always hits me is because I feel myself doing the same...
02:45:33.000
I don't want you to think I'm taking advantage of you.
02:45:35.000
I want you to know that I'm your friend and I want to pay for things too.
02:45:52.000
Took $1,000 out, maybe $2,000 out of the bank machine.
02:46:05.000
All I remember is we were the couple in the lobby fighting.
02:46:13.000
And Ralphie walked past me, and it was not a drop in the bucket.
02:46:16.000
Ralphie would lose $2,000, and he just saw me fighting with Leanne.
02:46:26.000
You know, my whole part of the story that I remember the most?
02:46:29.000
Ralphie read a book on a flight from Miami to L.A. He read the whole fucking book.
02:46:38.000
I remember sitting next to him, he read a book.
02:46:56.000
You don't become a comedian if you don't like rolling the dice, man.
02:47:03.000
And if you're not crazy, I don't know if I want to know you.
02:47:08.000
Speaking of books, did you guys read any during the Sober October?
02:47:23.000
I started reading, and I'm like, I don't have time for this.
02:47:27.000
And then I said, whatever it is, I'm going to have to pay a fine.
02:47:31.000
500, I realized immediately was like, oh, this isn't just like, okay, and also read 500 pages.
02:47:38.000
No, it should have been 500. We should have had a penalty if you didn't do it.
02:47:41.000
That should have been the whole thing, is 500 pages.
02:47:45.000
I was thinking to myself, I just don't have the fucking time.
02:47:55.000
But my classes weren't like, I didn't make fucking, you know, fucking...
02:48:02.000
Bro, the classes were the best thing about Sober October.
02:48:25.000
Why don't you jet set back and forth like a fucking international man of mystery that you are?
02:48:49.000
They didn't hit you with anything like a child crossing the street kind of thing?
02:49:00.000
I'm saying like in Please Academy, there were these things like, don't shoot that, do shoot this.
02:49:04.000
Something would pop up, but that's advanced stuff, man.
02:49:22.000
I wish I still lived in LA when you guys were doing fun shit like that.
02:49:41.000
Bro, you can have tons of stand-up spots out here.
02:50:05.000
Let it breathe until one day they find you're funny and they're like...
02:50:13.000
I told Joe in the green room, I decided to forgive Ari so that the people I hate know how much I really hate them.
02:50:26.000
Like, this guy drugged me in front of my kids, and I still forgive him.
02:50:38.000
I had a spiritual healer come to my house to clear my energy.
02:50:43.000
And she cleared our new house for all its bad energy.
02:50:53.000
I was dealing with darkness in my head about just OCD shit.
02:50:59.000
And she picked you out in a heartbeat and I went, I am not, I haven't forgiven her yet.
02:51:08.000
Do you know any spiritual healers listen to this podcast?
02:51:45.000
If you love him, you've got to help fix his karma.
02:51:57.000
Every time I was on a hike, my girlfriend was like, what?
02:52:06.000
She said, you've got to fix his karma if you care about him.
02:52:15.000
Seeing you in New York, when I go to New York and spending time with you is too important to me.
02:52:23.000
I said to someone, I think I may have said to Tom, I said, he's a great guy.
02:52:40.000
And I talked to Joe and Tom about this ad nauseum.
02:52:45.000
Man, I'm not in a place to look for new fucking friends.
02:52:49.000
You know one thing that's beautiful about this?
02:53:02.000
And yet, you were on my podcast, two weeks later, we were howling about it.
02:53:10.000
We were smoking weed and just laughing about the fact that you drugged him.
02:53:13.000
It was hard because it was serious, but it was also super not serious at the same time.
02:53:19.000
And then we were also talking about how no one's kicked you out of the comedy community.
02:53:24.000
There's not a second where you're not getting booked anywhere.
02:53:30.000
It's like this is the last frontier for savages.
02:53:34.000
This is the last frontier for people that are doing wild, crazy, stupid shit.
02:53:40.000
And that is one of the wildest, craziest, stupidest fucking things you can do is drug someone when they don't know you're drugging them.
02:54:30.000
He called me like two days after and he's like, I just answered the phone and he goes, you gotta forgive him.
02:54:38.000
And I was like, I'm going through some shit right now.
02:54:57.000
I was like, oh, we're going to do this podcast.
02:55:00.000
I was like, I thought we might talk about this.
02:55:27.000
If you tell me they're all in Spanish, I'm going to fucking jump over this table.
02:55:53.000
Can you just let him read what you wrote and translate it?
02:56:05.000
I might have had a spelling or two so you might have like...
02:56:14.000
Before this goes viral, can I just mention the Birdie Boy World Tour?
02:56:17.000
It says, uh, alright, dear Brent, uh, what's important?
02:56:25.000
Um, friendship is more important now that Tom is occupied with the fried pizza.
02:56:39.000
This is as important to me as Tom is with deep fried pizza.
02:56:51.000
More important to me than Joe's obsession with killing animals.
02:57:19.000
Friendship is more important to me than anything.
02:57:21.000
Even more important than Tom is deep fried pizza.
02:57:50.000
Friendship is more important to me than Eliza's...
02:58:12.000
Living without you would be worse than Tony Hinchcliffe living without the mural above his bed of him blowing Joe Rogan as Jeff Ross fucks him in the ass.
02:58:28.000
So you read this in Spanish and you pulled the plug.
02:58:40.000
I didn't know all the fallback was going to happen.
02:58:41.000
The point is, all I wanted to do was, I like playing pranks.
02:58:49.000
And I thought, the same thing I did with Luis Gomez, where he had this great announcement for Skank Fest and was like, I'm going to ruin that.
02:58:58.000
And I thought, I'll give you what you love doing, which is great content for your fans.
02:59:01.000
I know you're never going to release that podcast, but it was...
02:59:14.000
I didn't know all the fallback was going to happen.
02:59:16.000
I didn't know your kids were going to come home and say, you know...
02:59:24.000
Why they wouldn't think you have better stamina and strength than me.
02:59:26.000
Why they wouldn't think that you would rape me.
02:59:33.000
Maybe they saw something in you that I don't see.
02:59:59.000
I thought of Luis Gomez first, but I was like, he's an unknown.
03:00:10.000
And then I thought, it has to be a good friend.
03:00:29.000
And I know people are telling you that I thought you were weak.
03:00:37.000
Sometimes people do something and they have it in their head that it's going to be okay, and they don't understand how other people are going to perceive it.
03:00:44.000
It's not that they did it with bad intentions, it's just that they fucked up.
03:00:48.000
And I didn't think about you having to fucking run interference with me against your wife.
03:00:54.000
I'll tell you right now, the biggest thing that fucked me up about it, the biggest thing was that when it happened, I knew I was going to have to take care of you.
03:01:13.000
I knew all the implications of what was about to trickle down.
03:01:18.000
And that was the one thing where I was like, why would you make my life more complicated?
03:01:24.000
And by the way, no one said this other than me.
03:01:27.000
I said this to myself, and I've said this to Joe a million times.
03:01:30.000
It's that moniker of, like, you think I'm weak.
03:01:33.000
It's my biggest fucking thing of, like, people to go, in my head...
03:01:42.000
But in that moment, I was like, is he doing what these enemies do to me?
03:01:46.000
Where he just thinks, oh, he's some fucking weak comic who just rips his shirt off.
03:01:53.000
And when I was on the phone with you, I was in Connecticut.
03:02:07.000
Your response, I knew that's why you didn't do that.
03:02:12.000
Which was a big thing for me to go, I can get past this.
03:02:21.000
At a certain point I thought, it's just a reward.
03:02:25.000
Does Ari bring more to my life than that one stupid fucking moment?
03:02:36.000
I don't share that maybe enough with you, but you bring up a lot to my life.
03:02:42.000
I mean, our friendship means a lot more to me maybe than it means to you guys sometimes.
03:02:50.000
This podcast that we do, these regular podcasts we do, some of my favorite.
03:03:19.000
Both of these guys were, I don't know, I have to share this, both of these guys were very, very valuable to me in that moment where I was super vulnerable.
03:03:28.000
Both of them had a moment where it was fun, and then a moment where they called me and they were concerned.
03:03:33.000
Yeah, when you told me during the podcast, when I first did the podcast, I'm like, what happened?
03:03:40.000
Like, you didn't even want to talk about it until, that's when I knew it was serious.
03:03:44.000
I still thought it was fun until it was like, and then Tom was like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
03:03:54.000
If you were working in HR at a fucking network and you guys went on a Christmas party and you drugged somebody, that's the end of your fucking career, man.
03:04:09.000
Well, I knew he was really upset about it, too, you know?
03:04:12.000
Yeah, when you told me afterwards, you're like, oh, he's really fucked up over it.
03:04:14.000
But I also wanted really badly for you guys to make up.
03:04:21.000
Yeah, Tom called me and was like, hey, I saw you.
03:04:30.000
I just knew that it was wrong for me to answer because I didn't know what to say to you, and I wasn't right in the head yet.
03:04:37.000
And I was like, I'm really angry, but I'm not mad at him.
03:04:42.000
And I was like, I feel victimized, but I know I'm not a victim.
03:04:58.000
I'm like, you think that's the only felony I've ever committed?
03:05:03.000
We were in the backstage of the comedy store, or in the back bar, and we saw David Spade and Whitney when I was on High on Molly.
03:05:13.000
You saw David Spade there, and you're like, oh, I've got a great story for David Spade.
03:05:17.000
I've always been sexually attracted to him, and this is my moment.
03:05:23.000
When I heard you say that on the podcast, I got mad at you.
03:05:29.000
There's so many complex moments in this where you're right.
03:05:33.000
David Spade was back there and me and you were back there and I was like, I got drunk by Molly.
03:05:36.000
And then he brought it up on his show and it's like, ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:05:39.000
And even the podcast, I was like, I was conflicting because I go, this is super compelling content.
03:05:48.000
I'm so mad at you for doing this, but I see it now.
03:05:52.000
But I was like, in retrospect, I was like, I can't release it.
03:05:56.000
I don't want to be the guy that people come on my show and they go, I'm going to fucking drug him in that time.
03:06:02.000
But I talked to Whitney and Whitney was like, Whitney, oddly enough, said exactly what Joe said and said, this is really...
03:06:12.000
You shouldn't be drugging people in front of their kids.
03:06:15.000
She was like, I'm sorry I didn't say that to you.
03:06:23.000
I didn't know how I felt, so I brought all these energies of like, I got drugged, and then everything's on the table, and everyone's like, I gotta figure out your fucking emotions.
03:06:36.000
When you lean on friends, and you come out of a place like that, and you go...
03:06:41.000
In a weird way, I was like, I feel a lot closer to the four of us after that, and I'm like, I'm definitely not glad it happened.
03:06:55.000
And the funny part is I was like, I was like...
03:07:00.000
But now he's got to do it for the rest of his fucking life.
03:07:36.000
I will say to anyone at home doing MDMA, your friend is 5-HDP. I told Bert, but he was not in a place where he was going to trust anything I would say.
03:07:48.000
5HDP will equalize your mood and I meant to bring it with me and I didn't and I fucked up hard.
03:08:14.000
On my deathbed, when you get that six seconds of memories to your life, I hope I see Joey Diaz like Jesus Christ, like Buddha, just going, listen, cocksucker, if you would have had a stroke, it would have already happened.
03:08:31.000
I didn't have much of an option there, Captain!
03:08:53.000
It's way easier to do it, I think, in June or something.
03:08:58.000
Yeah, but Sober October is what we've been calling it.
03:09:05.000
Do you like doing gigs as much when you can't have a little drink?
03:09:16.000
It sucked doing Europe without being able to just...
03:09:19.000
Yeah, there's always going to be a reason why you won't do it, but I'm saying October, Yankee playoffs games, there's things...
03:09:26.000
You love the month, or you love just doing it online?
03:09:28.000
I love having an excuse not to get drunk every fucking night.
03:09:35.000
No, not every night, but on the road, especially...
03:09:41.000
You do this thing where you invite everybody to a bar afterwards.
03:09:47.000
You're the only one who goes out with your friends.
03:09:57.000
We used to do photos with everybody after shows.
03:10:00.000
When I first started doing shows with the Ice House, you were the most generous human being.
03:10:06.000
Guys would be like, Joe, I want to talk to you one quick second about Ice House.
03:10:21.000
The podcast got to this weird, strange space where people would come to me with like 10-page letters and proposals of things that we needed to do together and they just wanted too much of you.
03:10:32.000
And I just realized I've got to step away from that.
03:10:40.000
So you, after the show, want to get fucked up and party.
03:10:49.000
I would have a lot more fun with this if we did it in January.
03:11:14.000
October is just like, you guys don't live in New York.
03:11:16.000
My fucking Mickey Mantle brain was like, I'm in.
03:11:20.000
Let's get 205. January is World Carnivore Month.
03:11:22.000
That's one thing that I've thought about doing.
03:11:26.000
There's a lot of people that are just eating meat.
03:11:36.000
I mean, the only vegetables I had were garnished, like sauteed mushrooms on top of a steak.
03:11:45.000
I shit for the first, like, week or so, and then, like, once every, like, week after that.
03:12:00.000
Like they were dried out and rotten inside of you.
03:12:13.000
Let's figure this out, wrap this up, have a drink outside.
03:12:24.000
Honestly, probably the best drinking month of the year, so it's extra hard for me.
03:12:29.000
And if we have a real competition, it would be even better.
03:12:32.000
The problem with real competitions is I'm crazy.
03:12:36.000
Reading is something that you can't make videos on, but something you can actually do.
03:12:40.000
The thing I loved about what we did last October was that I felt very...
03:12:46.000
I'm untethered from the group and competition wise.
03:12:55.000
Starting February 8th, I will be gaining weight and you guys will be losing weight.
03:13:07.000
I'm going to get down to 190. You'll pass me first.
03:13:14.000
I'll probably be at 175. Wait, what do you think you can get up to?
03:13:42.000
And I was like, that motherfucker's got a willpower.
03:13:45.000
That's one thing when we did the Sober October Fitness Challenge, honestly, like legitimately, Ari was the only one I was worried about.
03:13:59.000
We would play pool, and even though I'm a better pool player than Ari, I would give him the 7, 8, and 9, and we would gamble.
03:14:33.000
Anyway, so we were doing jiu-jitsu, and it got fucking very serious.
03:14:55.000
All you have to do is have willpower to stay at 80% of your max heart rate for a long time.
03:15:04.000
Or if you're smart enough to distract yourself, like Ari figured out how to watch movies.
03:15:08.000
That was a big game changer in the fucking thing.
03:15:11.000
Yeah, once you figure out how to watch movies while you're on a treadmill or something like that.
03:15:14.000
Yeah, it was annoying to have to constantly be like working out.
03:15:19.000
That challenge part, none of us expected that to all of us to go for it.
03:15:26.000
When you got the flu and then you came back from the flu and ran 13 fucking miles.
03:15:30.000
That's why we didn't do a competition this year.
03:15:33.000
We didn't do a competition because everybody's girlfriend or wives was like, no, no.
03:15:49.000
I hadn't opened up that door in fucking decades.
03:15:51.000
Who do you think will pass me first and wait between the two of you?
03:16:01.000
I'll just become an obsessive compulsive about it.
03:16:06.000
It's not super fun, but I'm cool with it if I know I've got nothing to do.
03:16:16.000
How great would it be if we didn't lose any weight and you just passed us?
03:16:19.000
You're 180. You have to gain 25 pounds just to get to Burt's target weight.
03:16:29.000
Tom might have done something a little earlier that we'll talk about in a minute.
03:16:43.000
When I was in the bathroom, what the fuck happened?
03:17:06.000
Wait, how did you know what I was going to weigh?
03:17:10.000
You know what we're going to do for Super October this year?
03:17:15.000
I saw Tom weighing in and I went, oh, that's why I should weigh in.
03:17:26.000
Can I tell you, today I thought to myself, I'd only cheat on my wife if I was with you on the road and you were cheating on Christina.
03:17:37.000
If we were both in a tour bus, you're like, Bert, let's both fuck him.
03:17:44.000
By the way, I thought you were doing the Benny Hill song.
03:17:47.000
With Tom and I chasing two taking whores around a bus.
03:18:00.000
That's me and John chasing around two naked chicks.
03:18:03.000
He was like smacking people and girls would smack him.
03:18:18.000
That's probably the first time I thought about that show in more than a decade.
03:18:29.000
Pull up a video of the Benny Hill Show, because I barely remember it.
03:18:33.000
I remember he was like a chubby English guy, right?
03:18:49.000
Yeah, everything was like all fast and speeded up and weird.
03:19:06.000
Let's do a nice whiskey shot while we're in the show.
03:19:13.000
Maybe you shouldn't pour it, if you know what I'm saying.
03:19:38.000
Oh, by the way, this is the 10th anniversary of the podcast.
03:19:42.000
Yeah, this is the 10th anniversary of the podcast.
03:20:12.000
Alright, that's it America and the rest of the world that wishes they were America.
