00:00:12.000Oh, yeah, we had something, but once you get the two car seats in the back and then, you know, with all the shit for the kids and then all the shit your wife has, all of a sudden it's just like, oh, I now understand.
00:02:39.000I think we're just going to go back, and if you get it, you get it, and if you die, you die, and if you don't, you don't, and then eventually they're going to get something that'll slow it down or stop it or something like that.
00:04:15.000I really learned a lot more about myself during this quiet time of not running around and going to airports and kind of sitting with myself and being like, wow, I thought I was way further down the road Working on myself than I was, but I have a lot of fucking childhood issues left over.
00:04:36.000All these puzzle pieces just started coming in, and I was able to look all the way back where I was to where I am now and how I got here, and these little fucking things that happened to me.
00:04:49.000You know, good things and bad that just sort of knocked me down this road that I'm on.
00:04:56.000Yeah, well, you know, my wife was going through, you know, the third trimester, you know, when they're just over it, and you're like, oh God, there's six weeks to go.
00:05:10.000You know, I'd finally, you know, get my daughter to bed, get her to bed, everything was good, made sure all the doors were locked, and then I was just sort of like, why, you know, all these years of doing stand-up, I'm just up at that hour.
00:06:20.000So if you're in front of a cop, say if I'm a cop, and you and Jamie decide to duke it out, you can just say, you want to fight, motherfucker?
00:07:02.000If two people are willing to do it, and they know the risks, you know if you get hit, you're going to fall and crack your head on the back of the curb there?
00:08:03.000Hoping he was on his way to his place of solitude, whatever.
00:08:08.000Maybe he's on his way home to his ice house.
00:08:11.000He's on his way to the Batcave or some cosplay convention.
00:08:14.000But if I was younger, yeah, I might have, you know, if I was standing in a crowd, yeah, I probably would have done some fucking punk shit like that.
00:09:40.000I don't know how many fucking people are in there, but the photos that I saw, the place is packed, filled with people like they're just getting out of a Chappelle show.
00:11:37.000We're in business to make money from them and then you get in business with them and then the check goes to the corporate guy and then you get your cut off of his checkbook.
00:11:45.000So right there, I am immediately in a situation where there's no way I can steal from him, but he can rob me fucking blind.
00:12:08.000And it's how they do it, and they sleep at night, and then they always have, oh, that's over in the accounting section of the building, not over here where me and my yacht are.
00:12:20.000You know, I majored in fucking liberal arts in college.
00:12:23.000Well, what was really interesting when podcasts started to take off, they started to try to get in with the old model and weasel into podcasts and buy pieces of podcasts.
00:12:38.000If you think the fucking industry is gonna sit back when they didn't get to wet their beak on that thing, I'm going to tell every young comic when we get back to this shit, is what they're going to do now is what the music industry did, where they started signing straight across the board deals.
00:12:52.000They're going to get some young kid who's got no power in the business and is just like, you know, we'll help you create a podcast.
00:12:58.000You know, we're signed with so-and-so, blah, blah, blah.
00:13:00.000And what they're going to do is they're going to own the podcast, the advertising money is going to go to them, and they're going to rob them fucking blind.
00:13:07.000They're going to 100%, 100% going to fucking steal from them, rob them, fucking blind, and then when they get audited and they get caught stealing, they're going to label that kid, that young comic, difficult to work with.
00:13:24.000I know guys, young guys, I won't name any names, but they've come up to me and go, hey, I'm signed to this management company, they want to sign me, but they want a piece of my podcast, they want a piece of this, and they want it in perpetuity.
00:14:17.000But this comic that I won't name, he was telling me that this management company, they wanted to sign him, they wanted to own a piece of his podcast forever.
00:14:27.000Yeah, because what they're going to look at it is they're going to make it like if you started a podcast while you were with this manager or while you were with this agent, it'll be like back in the day when you booked a sitcom.
00:14:38.000And then if you left the agency or the manager throughout the lifetime of that sitcom, you owed the commission to them.
00:14:45.000But back then, you needed them to do that.
00:14:46.000You don't need them for the podcast, but they're going to do that, so then you're going to leave this manager, and then for the rest of your fucking life, you're going to be paying this never-ending alimony.
00:14:55.000I mean, there'll be guys, eventually, they'll try to take 50, 60, I own your podcast, managers will start, agents will start podcast networks, because there's nobody regulating them.
00:15:43.000And the way other podcasts grow is people get on people's podcasts and they say, hey, you listen to Bill Burr's podcast, Monday Morning Podcast, fucking hilarious.
00:16:21.000When he was talking about the music business, and this goes straight across podcasts and everything, he goes, you're better to own something 100% and only sell 20,000 copies than you are to not own it at all and sell 20 million.
00:16:35.000You're literally going to make more if you just sell 20 million.
00:16:39.000And then another thing that they do, oh my god, dude, another thing that they do is then all the people that they lose on, they dump that on you.
00:16:48.000Like I remember one time, I forget what it, I was with this network and I had a CD that was already made.
00:16:56.000I already made it and I just wanted them to put it out on their label and they wanted to own the CD. And I was like, no, I don't want you to own it.
00:17:42.000I had another one, one time I signed, this was back when I made like CDs and I did one and I had a 60-40.
00:17:47.000You get, you know, I was getting 60 and they were getting 40, but their 40 was off the gross, mine was off the net, and all expenses for the album was on me.
00:17:56.000It's like, I thought we were doing this together.
00:17:57.000Every fucking thing, the artwork, printing it, all of that, all of those expenses came to me, and in the end, that 60-40, 60 net, 40 gross, they made way more money than I did.
00:22:30.000And there's a lot of worms that try to grab comics that are talented but real raw.
00:22:34.000And they try to lock you up to some enormous lifetime management deal.
00:22:39.000And when you take off and you have something...
00:22:42.000Dude, I remember back in the day when everyone...
00:22:46.000Companies were like shooting specials before comics started shooting them and the amount of guys that got that yeah We only got enough money for to shoot one You know to only you can only shoot at one time, but you're gonna crush it man You got this hour down We only got enough in the budget and then they'd show up early and they'd be shooting another comic special Off their money the deal to double them as a management company what they would get or an agency the amount of fucking times that that happened with the same audience Do you want to hear the best one I ever heard?
00:23:15.000Jim Brewer was filming a special, sold out this theater, and the people that were filming the special told him that the money for the ticket sales was theirs because it was all about the production.
00:23:28.000Because the money that people were paying for the production, he's like...
00:24:08.000This is what kills me about a lot of this...
00:24:13.000There's rhetoric that's going on out there, which I agree with 90% of it, but if you agree with 100% of it, you and I are not supposed to be having stories like this.
00:24:21.000We're supposed to be the ones doing it.
00:25:05.000Elvis got fucked so bad, and then one of the main ways he got fucked on the road, he only did one out-of-the-country date, I believe he did Toronto, and he never traveled the world because his manager had something going on with his visa, and he was worried if he left, he wouldn't be able to come back.
00:25:19.000So that kind of, like, fucked him out of a ton of fucking money and seeing the world or whatever the fuck he might have wanted to do.
00:25:41.000But it's a great article that she wrote documenting exactly how much you get paid versus how much money gets generated and where it all goes and how they fuck you.
00:30:15.000I'll let you guys walk towards the atom bomb that they just...
00:30:18.000I mean, I got a little one at home, so I think I'm going to chill until like September, unless it's just wide open.
00:30:25.000By chill, I mean if things go well, I'm going to try to do some shows at the Troubadour, because I know that they're hurting, and that's one of my favorite venues.
00:30:34.000All these bands that I love have played there.
00:30:46.000Not available yet, but when they are available, I'm going to try to do like a three-night thing down there, you know, work for free, get the rust off, have people pay for tickets, buy a bunch of booze and some Troubadour t-shirts, and keep that place going, man.
00:33:39.000Look, if I was a guy working a regular job and I was used to going to the store every couple months to knock some laughs into me, I mean, I'd be...
00:33:47.000Fucking chomping at the bit to go see some comedy right now.
00:35:01.000The whole fucking time, there's been fucking assholes on my street walking around, no masks, you know, not quarantining like the people that come by the houses.
00:35:10.000You see the fucking, you know, the same people that were going in and out of the house who are not part of their family still going in and out of the house.
00:35:15.000You want people to walk down the street with a mask on?
00:35:23.000I'm not going to sit here with no medical degree, listening to you with no medical degree, with an American flag behind you, smoking a cigar, acting like we know what's up, better than the CDC. All I do is I watch the news once every two weeks.
00:39:12.000I mean, he's just, he is the white guy's white guy.
00:39:15.000He was talking about black people going, and when they come for you, and they will, they go, you know, it's just like, what are you fucking talking about?
00:43:41.000The kid had a MAGA hat on and the Native American was beating the drums and the kid was smiling, looking at him, and they took it pretending that this kid walked up to this Native American beating the drums and was smiling in his face and mocking him.
00:43:53.000What really happened is these kids were on a field trip for high school.
00:44:05.000While they're there, these Native Americans are beating their drums and this guy walks up to the kid and gets in the kid's face and is beating the drum.
00:44:13.000Now CNN, all these people went with this narrative that these kids were mocking him.
00:44:16.000The kid just stood there smiling while this Native American got in his face.
00:44:27.000I think way back in the day it was like a rule of sevens, like no one person could own seven, any combination of radio, TV, because you can literally influence public opinion.
00:44:51.000And, like, I just feel like in the last I don't know how many years where it's just all of a sudden they stopped being just sort of everything they were I think reporting was always perverted to some level and now it's just it's just you're sort of watching like op-ed pieces so I don't know this is somebody who doesn't watch anything and reads like you know autobiographies of football players in the 1950s so in this Covington school kid case they sued the kids sued and won The
00:45:46.000Yeah, that guy, that is the result, I think, of watching one of those channels 24-7 and then going on Facebook and writing in capital letters.
00:45:54.000Could you imagine if you were there watching that guy rip pieces of paper out of a little girl's hand like that that he didn't even know?
00:46:00.000Yelling in her, running up to her where the mother is yelling, you stop touching her!
00:52:57.000I do think, talking about Elise's protest, I think something really positive is going to come out of this because of the fact that so many white people are also getting involved in it and so many cops were vocal saying that they shouldn't do that.
00:53:08.000So I think something good is going to come out of this.
00:53:13.000I do, and I hope so too because it's...
00:53:16.000It's been wrong for way too long, and I also hope that a bunch of other groups don't use this as a piggyback thing To then do some other shit, which will then...
00:53:29.000Will make people who want things to stay the same, they'll be able to shift focus of like, you know, like how they try to make like the protesters and the rioters, like the looters, the same people.
00:55:12.000Yeah, they argued when they worked together, apparently.
00:55:14.000One of the guys that worked with them said that George Floyd was always telling that guy he's a fucking asshole the way he treats customers.
00:55:21.000Because he would mace people and shit, that kind of stuff.
00:55:29.000He had a history of complaints back to 2006. My friend Joe Schilling, the kickboxer, I'm talking about him again, but his fucking page is the most disturbing page right now because all he's done over the last five, six days is post videos of police brutality.
00:55:43.000And it's police brutality on black women, white women, white old men, black old men, young guys.
00:55:53.000It's just police brutality over and over and over and over again.
00:55:57.000There's a problem of racism in this country for sure.
00:56:00.000There's also a real problem with people that have the kind of power the cops have that are weak people, that are sociopaths.
00:56:07.000And that's as much of a problem as any of this.
00:56:15.000That guy who did that is a fucking monster.
00:56:19.000I remember talking to a security guy and he said the best guys are the guys that de-escalated.
00:56:26.000This guy used to put together crews of guys to rock concerts and stuff.
00:56:31.000And he said you didn't want to get guys that wanted to fight.
00:56:36.000You didn't want to have those guys because those guys would be a fucking headache and every night there was going to be something and there was going to be lawsuits.
00:56:42.000What he was saying you ultimately wanted was nothing to happen.
00:56:58.000So two guys were about ready to go at it in the club and the bouncer gets him outside Okay, and this guy's trying to say his point of view, and he put his hand on his shoulder.
00:57:07.000He goes, no, all I was trying to do, he barely went like that on his shirt.
00:57:12.000And he goes, okay, first of all, don't touch me.
00:57:14.000And just immediately, it was here, and then it went to here, and then those two guys started yelling at each other, and then within, I don't know what the fuck, he just twisted the guy up and took him out.
00:59:02.000I just remember he was going, try to push me down the stairs, try to push me down the stairs.
00:59:07.000And he came down like, and I was trying to get out of the way.
00:59:09.000And I think the guy who he had grabbed, like his knee fucking hit me in the back.
00:59:14.000You know, I just got caught by the debris of this guy running by.
00:59:17.000And that's when I kind of learned like...
00:59:19.000You know, how to watch a fight, which you watch a fight and you're looking at your exits, because like I said, it's like you don't know where it's going to fucking go.
01:00:11.000And then all of a sudden, kids started to get 120, 130, 140 pounds, and they started being blood and fucking people missing a couple days of school after a beatdown.
01:03:57.000And the smoke fucking clears, and it all settles.
01:04:00.000You know, it was all like fucking 15-second melee, and it all fucking settles.
01:04:04.000And we look at the party, and there's like six or seven guys, six or seven girls, and there's like a board game that's tipped over, and we had gone to the wrong party.
01:04:14.000Swear to God, I know this sounds like a joke.
01:04:16.000The real party where they got hit was upstairs.
01:04:20.000I don't remember what happened, but they were actually rich kids and they sued my friends for going in whatever the dumb shit they did.
01:04:29.000And they were in there having like a couples thing and they were playing like fucking Monopoly or something and all of a sudden there was a knock on the door.
01:07:20.000Like, he had made part of his body like a karate movie.
01:07:23.000Like, he had to avenge his shoulder's death.
01:07:28.000Dude, that's, and I have to tell you something.
01:07:30.000When people talk about, you know, you're a funny comedian and blah blah, the characters that I grew up with, and what I loved about what they did and what they said was they weren't trying to be funny.
01:08:24.000He goes, I thought it was on the windshield.
01:08:29.000He goes, it turned out it was on the inside of my glasses.
01:08:32.000Now, I don't know if that was true, but dude, there's no way you could ever reenact how much he flipped it, like how much you would freak out on acid if you thought a bug was over there, but then your mind told you that it was on the inside of your fucking glasses.
01:08:45.000And I just remember all three of us just crying, laughing, driving home, Just the whole fucking situation.
01:08:54.000That was like every weekend of my life for like...
01:09:01.000Probably, like, two and a half, three years.
01:09:36.000Like 19 or 20. Probably 20. And I would go in there.
01:09:40.000And I just remember one time standing outside that bar...
01:09:44.000And there was this fucking dude who looked like Rob Halford from fucking Judas Priest, just fucking totally gacked out of his fucking mind, standing in front of his motorcycle.
01:09:54.000And he was telling this story about riding his bike and his drug thing.
01:10:35.000No, this is when I figured out what the fuck was going on.
01:10:38.000It was one time I went into the bathroom by myself to take a leak, and it was one of those things, you walk in, there was a sink, there was a stand-up urinal, and then there was a stall, which just had one toilet.
01:10:48.000And I walked in, and there was two fucking legs guys in there, and I was like, what the fuck are those guys doing?
01:10:55.000My dick's already out and I'm taking a piss.
01:10:58.000And the thing, because it didn't have a latch, opened up and they were doing blow.
01:11:03.000And I was taking a piss because it was weird.
01:11:05.000There was two guys in there and I kind of glanced over as I'm already pissing.
01:11:08.000I look over and this guy's all fucking hammered.
01:13:49.000I'm reading, like, I got three sports books I'm reading right now, right?
01:13:52.000I read a few in the lines, and then I read a couple chapters over here, and I'm reading this one called, Bartnick gave it to me, called The Code.
01:14:45.000How there's this whole code of, and there's all these, there's like, you know, the heavyweights, like a heavyweight only fucks with a heavyweight unless some middleweight is doing some shit and you gave him a warning and he didn't, then he has to take a fucking beating.
01:14:57.000And if he doesn't take the beating and turtles up, that means one of his fucking teammates is going to get the beating and then he's going to be a fucking asshole in the locker room.
01:15:04.000I mean, it is this whole web of, Of fascinating shit.
01:15:08.000Because everybody just looks at the sport and they just think, oh, drop gloves, fucking beat the shit up.
01:15:11.000There's a whole fucking thing that is going on out there that actually, because of that, keeps the game safer.
01:17:09.000Oh, you're saying if he rends away and then he thinks suffers.
01:17:12.000If you nick it, you know, you shoot it in the leg or something like that, it's very likely it's going to get away and die slowly and get eaten by coyotes or something.
01:25:46.000When you say safety equipment, what the fuck kind of safety equipment's going to save you here?
01:25:51.000Yeah, well, they have an airbag, which is a really amazing piece of technology, where it can tell when you've let go of the bike and you're falling instantaneously, and it protects your...
01:27:14.000But this is the type of shit, like with this racing, what I like is, like three or four races last year on the final lap, there was like two guys that would pass each other like four or five times.
01:28:08.000I think there's a lot of people that buy high-performance shit that go into a track either that is not available, it doesn't enter their mind.
01:28:16.000Somebody like myself, it wasn't until I started watching racing...
01:28:19.000I kind of learned a little bit about it.
01:28:21.000I'm like, oh, there's like a track, you know, out in the Inland Empire.
01:28:23.000You know, there's a day where the general public can come down or whatever.
01:28:43.000You're trying to impress the guy you're riding with, and you think you just want to be like flooring it and blah, blah, blah.
01:28:47.000And what you really want to be doing is smoothly going around.
01:28:51.000The smoother you go, both on the gas and braking, then it becomes like this really...
01:28:58.000Like, finesse thing where it looks like you just grab it by the fucking throat and, you know, like I said, I only did it one time, but, like, I immediately learned that, like, made me appreciate what they were doing a lot more.
01:29:08.000Plus, I only went around five times and my fucking brain was like...
01:29:40.000Apparently, that's a great way to learn how to really drive, too, is on the dirt.
01:29:44.000Same with dirt bikes, because, you know, you slide a lot.
01:29:46.000So you learn how to counter-steer, and you learn how to handle the weight out back.
01:29:51.000Like, as it's kicking out, you learn how to counter it.
01:29:53.000I have this weird thing where I am fascinated by machines, and everything that I see, I want to learn how to drive it or fly it or whatever.
01:32:09.000But I drive that car to the Comedy Store.
01:32:11.000If I want to do like, if I'm really working on something or I really want to be jazzed up for a set, I'll take that car to the Comedy Store.
01:32:19.000Because it's so loud and fucking smoky and...
01:32:23.000Everything's like, your whole body, you feel it.
01:32:49.000A-Star helicopter, we should tell people.
01:32:51.000Is the coolest thing I've ever flown as far as like...
01:32:58.000Just the power it had, compared to what, you know, I fly these little fucking egg beaters or whatever, but like, I did until all that bullshit happened.
01:33:05.000But I got, one of the last flights I did, I got to fly, a buddy of mine who was training me to get my instrument, like I passed the test.
01:33:14.000And then after you pass the test, you have two years.
01:33:16.000So I still have two years, I have to December of next year to pass it, so I gotta finish that part of it, you know?
01:33:23.000Did we do a podcast since you took me up?
01:33:25.000Have you done one since you took me up?
01:35:00.000Because also with a helicopter, you can't just like take your hands off as shit.
01:35:05.000So you have to, you're literally, it's like your Porsche, like you're, you know, I'm imagining like trying to parallel park that car, even though it's a lighter car.
01:35:43.000Like, if I was going to get another car, I would get a 67 Cadillac Eldorado.
01:35:48.000And it's actually the color that I loved.
01:35:51.000It was in the Tarantino movie, but somebody was selling one, and I swear to God, by the time I saw the YouTube video it was already sold, I would have bought that fucking car.
01:41:15.000Those were the trucks' 40s and 50s, and the reason why they had that was there was some weird law where they didn't want trucks to get too long.
01:41:25.000So they kept the tractor-trailer long, and then they put the engine...
01:41:31.000Cab-over-engine is what it stands for.
01:41:33.000Oh, so the engine's below you while you're sitting there.
01:41:35.000Yeah, so if you look at some of the ones that people have fixed up, they're fucking wild.
01:41:52.000Like, I always wish, like, one of those car shows, like, Fast and Loud, the ones I've watched throughout the years, I always wish that somebody would do one of those.
01:46:04.000No, that shit is too weird, but I appreciate it.
01:46:08.000Like, you know that old BMW where the whole front of the car opens up and the steering wheel disconnects and goes out with the front of the car?
01:47:20.000You're not necessarily, like, you have an aversion to cool things.
01:47:25.000No, it's like if you get into music, if you really get into a band, like if you're into ACDC, can you really listen to You Shook Me All Night Long again?
01:47:34.000You're like, no dude, you gotta listen to What's Next to the Moon.
01:48:59.000The last muscle car that I like, that I vividly remember like the last year would probably be the 70 Camaro with like that shark nose front tooth.
01:51:16.000A lot of guys who knew shit about cars back in the day, they would try to jam Corvette engines into them because they couldn't afford a Corvette, but they knew about how to build cars and stuff.
01:57:18.000His mother, you know, through whatever circumstances I want to ruin it, I end up meeting her after me and Pete, you know, his character, I don't like his, and I'm coming to his house to fucking yell or whatever, and then I see...
01:57:30.000His mom, played by Marissa Tomei, and then all of a sudden, you know, we click or whatever, we start dating or whatever, and then he fucking hates it and the comedy ensues.
01:57:40.000But it's, you know, it's got a lot of heart, you know, it's not 100% comedy.
01:57:45.000But, yeah, Marissa Tomei, Dom Lombardozzi, Steve Buscemi.
01:59:01.000I mean, I don't want movie theaters to go under, but I do like the option of being able to watch a newly released movie at home.
01:59:09.000Yeah, I think everything's going to adapt, but I don't think the movie theater is ever going to go away because I still enjoy going to the movies.
01:59:48.000I do date nights with my wife and we were doing them when I was at the store all the time when comedy was up.
01:59:54.000I was doing them on Saturday night because she didn't have to get up early in the morning for the kids, take the kids to school so she could be rested and refreshed.
02:00:01.000Didn't have to go to school the next day, so didn't have to get up on Sunday.
02:00:12.000As much as women seem impossible to guys, especially someone like me with all of my fucking issues, it's like just something like that does wonders for your connection.
02:00:24.000And then we also had like once a week we were doing like before we got pregnant again, we were doing a family dinner and that was the best.
02:00:34.000And what we were going to was a bunch of like just mom and pop places in like the valley and Out in Pasadena and stuff like that are these places that are just legendary in that area but they don't have a chain.
02:00:47.000So it's cool because you feel like you're giving regular people money and business and we would go there.
02:00:53.000That was a big thing when I was growing up.
02:00:55.000Before you had all these screens and all of this shit, going out to dinner with your family.
02:02:22.000Do you know how I get over that sadness?
02:02:23.000I get old, because that shit really used to depress me.
02:02:26.000What I look at was like, you know, when they opened this restaurant and they were young, there was old people that were upset about whatever they cleared out.
02:02:33.000And it just happens, you know what I mean?
02:02:35.000Well, I was just upset that I couldn't see them.
02:02:38.000You know, I just enjoyed their company.
02:02:40.000It was always, you know, we had been going there for 10 years.
02:04:19.000I just love the cows, the fake cows out front.
02:04:22.000And we were living on the North Shore then, so we would drive my dad into work and we would always go down Route 1. And we would go buy that and I would think like you know and there was also a hockey rink up there that had a Bruins emblem that they were allowed to use before like all the corporate people really like you can't use our logo so their Bruins thing and I was convinced that's where the Bruins practiced.
02:04:43.000I went to Hilltop Steakhouse once and it was for some reason I have it connected in my mind with a boxing match that was on TV because I was so bummed out.
02:04:54.000Sugar Ray Leonard fought Terry Norris.
02:06:21.000I got a buddy of mine that is convinced that fight was fixed by the Italian mob, and then his payoff was they gave him a movie career in Italy.
02:06:54.000Being as tall as he was, but could make that weight.
02:06:58.000When he fought Sugar Ray, I think he was only 22. And he was 147. Sugar Ray stopped him after Angelo Dundee gave him that speech in the corner.
02:07:20.000And when he gets in the corner and he'd been knocked down for like, I don't know how many times, kept spitting out his mouthpiece and they took away a point or something.
02:07:27.000He goes into his corner and I remember his manager or whatever you call the guy is in the corner.
02:07:34.000He goes, you better fucking get inside now.
02:10:07.000What's interesting about Holyfield too, he was like the first guy that ever really put weight on successfully.
02:10:13.000Like he had this crazy strength and conditioning program that he did to go up to heavyweight where, you know, he was fairly thin when he was a cruiserweight and started lifting weights.
02:10:23.000And lifting weights back then, most people thought lifting weights was terrible for you.
02:10:27.000There was a big thing in basketball, don't lift weights, it's gonna fuck up your shot.
02:10:31.000They thought you were gonna send the ball past the rim.
02:10:34.000Well you know what it is, it's from being stiff and sore.
02:10:36.000When you're stiff and sore, it does fuck you up.
02:10:39.000It fucks you up with boxing, it fucks you up with everything, but it's a matter of doing it correctly so that your body recovers enough so that when you actually fight, you're not stiff and sore, but you have all that extra muscle.
02:11:53.000There wasn't the education, mainstream education, of what a body blow did to you.
02:11:57.000So unless somebody got hit in the head and their mouthpiece went flying, we didn't understand because that last shotty was a hook to the body.
02:12:13.000Yeah, this was an amazing, amazing moment because Spinks was another guy who went up from light heavyweight, beat Larry Holmes, and then became the heavyweight champion that was fighting Tyson, but it just was too small.
02:12:23.000Yeah, we were yelling this Spinks jinx because we just wanted to, we were rooting for Tyson, but we wanted to see a fight.
02:12:28.000Spinks had a good right hand, but you could see he's paralyzed here.
02:12:33.000I mean, he's fighting a guy that's just so much bigger than him, and he's getting smashed.
02:12:36.000Mike Tyson was just such a force in nature at the time.
02:12:39.000Spinks just really had no business fighting legitimate heavyweights.
02:12:43.000He fought Larry Holmes when Larry was past his prime, and he beat Larry by decision.
02:13:54.000What's really scary is, it's like you think about it for weeks and weeks up to it, and obviously I never did it at this level, but at that level, when the whole world is watching, and you know that this is just an enormous moment, and you just got waylaid by one of the greatest heavyweights of all time and flattened.
02:17:07.000I also, in this, have never loved my wife more.
02:17:10.000You know, gave me a son, and it's just like, it's one of those things where, you know, you really sit there going, like, I am way, way more of a fucking asshole than I thought I was.
02:17:24.000I knew I was, but I didn't think I was that bad.
02:17:27.000So, you realize you've got issues, but you don't know how to solve them.
02:20:24.000I saw him one time with a bow and arrow, just talking all of this shit, and he hit a bullseye, and then he did the next one, and he split his fucking arrow.
02:21:41.000Because you see people, I see at this point, I remember that's when I first felt old, was when I would meet people after shows, and I'd be like, oh, this guy's got at least five years on me, and I'd find out they were five years younger than me.
02:21:52.000Like, I'd be like 33, I'd be like, you're fucking 28. And he was like a real 28, married, three kids, and I saw what that looked like, you know?
02:23:37.000And then this is the big tipping point.
02:23:40.000When you go from one pound to two pound, as ridiculous as that sound, you're increasing the weight load by 100%.
02:23:45.000And that's when you get hurt, because you want to get, like, I used to be able to do like 15 pound, you know, 20 pound, 25, those sets you used to do.
02:24:00.000So what I do is I just get, slowly work my way up to three sets of 20, And then when I go to two pounds, when I do it, I'll just do three sets of three.
02:24:08.000So I'm way beneath the weight load that I did.
02:24:11.000And then you gradually, it requires all of this patience that I don't fucking have.
02:29:25.000Every time I'm getting there, he starts fucking talking again.
02:29:28.000And then he's using this really soothing, caring voice that makes me face all of that shit that I didn't get growing up, which makes me angry at this person that's trying to help me.
02:35:49.000So I had like a fucking panic attack before.
02:35:55.000Even that thing, just being like, just that comic thing where you're just like, dude, I stand on stage, I do shit jokes for a fucking hour, you give the check and then I fucking leave.
02:38:22.000And she has access, you know, opposites attract, so she has access to all of that shit.
02:38:27.000She's actually, you know, a fucking way better actor than I am and stuff, so she helps me out a lot.
02:38:33.000So after those two weeks, I was able to chill, and then I had a great time, and I got over a bunch of hurdles, and I was kind of like, oh, this is like growing as a comic.
02:38:43.000Where it's like, okay, I know how to do this as a comic.
02:39:31.000But, like, as far as, like, the movie itself, I loved it, how it worked, and the way they put it together.
02:39:37.000And there's the opening scene that's in the movie, initially was in the middle of the movie, and somebody, Judd, I don't know who, came up with the brilliant idea to put that scene first, and it totally changed the tone of the movie, and that's when it, like, took off.
02:39:51.000Because I saw a real raw cut, and it was like, this is a bunch of funny shit, Everybody I've ever talked to who edits a movie, when they watch their first cut in the movie, they're like, oh my god, I'm never going to work in this business again.
02:42:47.000And he lived this life where he had this wide array of friends, really progressive, where he, through playing sports, he had African-American friends.
02:43:00.000And if they were to go in someplace and they said, your friend can't come in, he goes, no, we're not fucking going in.
02:43:04.000I mean, this guy was doing this in the 50s and 60s, right?
02:43:56.000It made me think of like, well, what's that life like?
02:44:01.000As opposed to being like, well, you know, I got to make sure I eat my Brussels sprouts and you kind of inch your way to death as opposed to just being like, fuck it.
02:45:37.000Yeah, where there's all this heroism to sobriety, which there is.
02:45:43.000Being sober and just taking life in the face every day is fucking hard.
02:45:49.000And I think to see somebody that has the balls, even with all this Surgeon General shit, as I'm sitting here smoking a fucking cigar, looking for a toothpick if you have one.
02:49:54.000You can't be like busting out all these different asanas.
02:49:57.000And I just started fucking laughing where I was just thinking like, this is all supposed to be about listening to your body.
02:50:04.000And you're literally, you're like the oil man in here trying to control.
02:50:08.000This is your own little fucking economy.
02:50:09.000And just the fact that I fuck, you're walking around like you got it all figured out.
02:50:14.000You got 99% of people here all doing what the fuck you say and one guy goes down to his mat because his back is fucked up and you process it like I'm fucking with your authority in a yoga class.
02:50:28.000So, with my broad brush, I said, fuck hot yoga.
02:53:19.000So I couldn't hate on him for that, but it was...
02:53:23.000To get through the class, because I have such fucking ADD, I was just, there was like a comedy show going on within it, like, you know, like a house, and then I got a couple buddies, like, dude, you gotta go.
02:53:35.000You know, we'll do, you know, like a bet when he's gonna shit, how many times he's gonna shit on the gym.
02:57:07.000It's so good for your stretching, too, because you can get into positions when you're doing hot yoga that you're not going to get into, and it's like really stretching that tissue out and extending your range of motion.
02:57:23.000A lot of people have listened, but more people just get annoyed.
02:57:25.000Well, I love that when you guys do the Sober October, you know, and I watch Segura and fucking Kreischer dry out, and like three weeks in, they start looking like movie stars and shit.
