It's the last episode of the year, and we're celebrating by drinking a whole bottle of scotch. We also talk about the new Ariana Grande album, the new Joe Rogan t-shirt, and the new Jack O'Donnell movie. And of course, we talk about how much we love Jack O's music and how he's one of the most talented musicians we've ever seen. Joe also talks about how he has been sober for 19 years and why he's never wanted to drink again. And finally, we discuss how he doesn't care if you're drunk or not and why you should never drink when you're with someone you're not supposed to be drinking. Joe is a comedian, writer, podcaster, and podcaster from Los Angeles, California. He's been in the entertainment business for a long time and has always been a fan of music, comedy, and stand-up comedy. He also happens to be a good friend of mine and I think he's a great human being and a very funny human being. I hope you enjoy this one.

00:03:08.000I will always make sure that I can keep my body healthy enough so that I can always drink.
00:03:14.000I love seeing a sunrise with a cocktail, seeing a sunset with a cocktail, having friends walk into your house with a bottle of wine, getting on a plane.
00:05:08.000It's nice to be away from it, but it's nice to be back at it.
00:05:11.000The thing with marijuana with me is writing.
00:05:14.000I was telling you today, like, it's the first day I did my routine, which is either in the morning, I usually get up early, everybody goes to school, and I fucking spark up.
00:06:05.000Luckily, I had an idea that I wanted to fuck with.
00:06:07.000And so then once I start writing, I'm not writing, because if I write within the confines of this has to be material, it'll be too constrained.
00:06:14.000I'm like, I've got to set up punchlines, set up punchlines.
00:06:16.000Right, because then it feels like it So it could literally be something like a topic?
00:08:11.000But now you're using a hammer to get a screw out of a wall, using a hammer to get, like, you only get a couple tools and you're using them for everything.
00:08:18.000And the better you get, the more tools you get.
00:08:21.000And you're like, oh, shit, I can use this screwdriver just for unscrewing screws.
00:08:25.000Yeah, but it's more of like I started writing comedy that I would think was funny, that I would laugh at.
00:09:26.000And one of the things that I learned over the pandemic is like, You give a bit two years, or you give a special two years, it's gonna be pretty good.
00:09:32.000Give a special four years, like, it's better.
00:09:35.000Five and a half years, Ari Shafir Jew on YouTube right now.
00:11:17.000When you apply that same thing to conversation, you want to dominate the conversation, you want to enforce what you're saying, and then try to figure out a way to make what you're saying valid, even if it's not.
00:11:31.000You're wrestling with your initial idea that you put out there, and then you're experiencing pushback.
00:12:27.000Kanye's a fucking genius, and then you watch him with Lex Friedman, and I feel bad for him because I feel like he's a dumb girl trying to fight.
00:14:22.000We're proud to be the only major company to make or assemble more than four million pairs of athletic footwear per year in the USA. I saw that in flip-flops.
00:14:36.000The assembled parts, that's a little problem, because that might mean they get parts from overseas, and they're assembling in the United States.
00:14:42.000To make or assemble more than four years.
00:14:44.000Because there's a lot of shit that's hard to get in the United States.
00:15:48.000There's this one thing that said, as soon as we can source this in America, we'll make it 100% American.
00:15:52.000But their jujitsu gis, their clothing, everything they make, all the stitches, all the people making it, all the cloth, it's manufactured here, it's put together here.
00:16:28.000I think if you just made it a little bit more expensive to give people a good- There's a percentage of people that are like, I'll spend a little more to claim to myself that I supported America.
00:16:39.000Right, especially if it was made better.
00:16:41.000If you could show that it's made better.
00:17:56.000Like downtown LA, this was way before everybody knew what Skid Row was.
00:18:01.000Well, most people in LA knew of Skid Row, but it wasn't like a shantytown that expanded out through Santa Monica and Venice and all the wild shit they're dealing with now.
00:18:09.000That existed when we were filming Fear Factor.
00:18:12.000So we would go to these warehouses and I went into one of them and it was where they made American Apparel.
00:18:19.000And so we go up the stairs and you're seeing like a sweatshop.
00:18:23.000But it's in America, and you're seeing people, they're all speaking Spanish, there's all Mexican music, you know, like, people are talking in Spanish, and they're from wherever they got to there, and now they're working here, and you're like, whoa!
00:18:38.000Look, at least they're protected by American laws.
00:18:56.000And they should definitely have that opportunity to do that.
00:18:58.000It's all beautiful and everything, but being in this weird downtown LA thing, you picture fucking red-headed dudes stitching together flannel shirts.
00:19:27.000You really time stamp something with masks.
00:19:30.000Yeah, because it used to be, when you thought of people manufacturing things in a sweatshop, you feel like they're doing it against their will.
00:19:40.000But if you got to America, if you snuck out of another country and got to America, that's a good job to get.
00:19:45.000You can get a good job working in wherever, where you can actually bring home the kind of money that's impossible where you're from.
00:19:54.000You shouldn't wear Nikes, because they only make a quarter an hour or something, like a quarter a day, and you're like, maybe you should move.
00:20:32.000In 2016, the DOL investigated 77 garment factories in Los Angeles who produce clothing for the aforementioned brands and found egregious labor violations in 85% of the factories it visited.
00:20:46.000Pat yourselves on the back, Los Angeles.
00:25:14.000There's also teachers that feel like they have to explain things to kids that the kids aren't learning from their parents.
00:25:20.000And there's a good argument on both sides of that, right?
00:25:22.000There's a good argument like, hey, I don't want you teaching my kids something that I don't want to teach them.
00:25:26.000And then the other argument is, you know what, maybe it's the job of the educator to expose your kid to ideas that maybe they won't get at home.
00:25:33.000Yeah, I don't want to teach them math.
00:25:34.000But it's like, at what point in time does he cross that line?
00:25:44.000And it was like, oh yeah, I guess you should have the right.
00:25:47.000You kind of should, but also maybe not.
00:25:50.000You know, the problem is, like, exposing people to only one narrow band of ideas, that doesn't seem fair to a kid either.
00:25:57.000So, like, I think the kid should be exposed to as many ideas as possible, but from rational discussions, not from, like, propagandizing and, like, trying to push one thing or another.
00:26:09.000And that's the problem when people differ ideologically, when people are on the right or people are on the left, and people think this or they think that.
00:26:16.000If you force something that they don't believe on a kid, it's like, whose job is that?
00:26:21.000You can learn about taxation without representation at school, and you go home to like a Jewish family, you learn there's no taxation.
00:26:38.000We went to a high school for Georgia when Georgia was looking at high schools and seemed cool.
00:26:44.000And then all of a sudden one of the mom raises her hand and she goes, Hey, is it true that you make the children of color stand on chairs and make the white children sit on the ground and they can yell at them?
00:28:02.000You know, you're supposed to be educating people, and you're making kids responsible for the sins of the past.
00:28:08.000But also, I mean, like, I look back at that, watching that abortion, and I remember, I know for a fact, I won't say the guy's name, but I was really good friends with a guy, ended up in New York together.
00:28:21.000And I said, that video really affected me.
00:28:23.000It really affected me in a way that I know for a fact I would never get an abortion.
00:28:29.000And my buddy was like, that's funny, I've had six.
00:29:22.000But it's also like, there's zero racism in your household.
00:29:27.000There's zero in the household, and the concept is even too rich for a child.
00:29:32.000Not only is this, it's like he's not going to be exposed to it from you.
00:29:38.000The fact that you impose one blanket way of approaching any social issue to all kids, like that, and then you're the one who gets to decide?
00:29:47.000It's kind of like Pledge of Allegiance.
00:39:14.000If somebody had video footage of that, it would have ruined that dude's life.
00:39:17.000Well, like, a more amateur version of it was that thing caught on video where that football player, I think it was in Oklahoma somewhere, is in that bathroom.
00:40:59.000Especially going to school like a school like Florida State, where a guy's just 6'3", and he decides, I have never had to worry about anyone.
00:41:05.000He's Jiu-jitsu, it changed the fucking bully game.
00:42:25.000Like fuck and so we all three of us go out in the hallway with Tate So it's me and Eddie Bravo and Tate and this big fucking guy and his two dopey friends and his two dopey friends don't know what to do and this guy's gigantic and In he says something like I'll fuck you up and this now I go dude I go you're making a fucking tremendous mistake here And we just step back,
00:43:18.000I go, he's just going to strangle him unconscious and put him to sleep.
00:43:21.000And so Tate goes, well, now I guess I have to put him to sleep.
00:43:25.000So Tate transitions from an omoplata to a rear naked choke with the omoplata.
00:43:30.000So an omoplata is a shoulder lock and it's a shoulder lock where your arm is like really high up behind your back and the guy's legs are wrapped around it.
00:43:37.000So Tate is wrapped around it like this and he has access to the guy's neck.
00:43:40.000So he just grabs his neck and he puts him to sleep.
00:43:59.000You can see it right there, but from what that position, like Tate has his legs crossed, like he's got a lot of weight on him, and then he just strangles his neck.
00:44:26.000And he goes, you know, I listened to you tell it on Joe, and there's some parts that are very interesting that you're not leaving into the story.
00:48:19.000Can I tell you that to this day Anthony Bourdain asked for a beer once on the first show we did and I didn't realize that that's what he was asked for because in the middle of talking to him and I regret it.
00:50:19.000Also, because Anthony Cumia had set up Live from the Compound.
00:50:24.000So he had a green screen in his basement with like a full camera setup and microphone setup and they'd switch cameras and like he had a real professional setup.
00:53:04.000What if consciousness and what if your soul, whatever the fuck that is, really does travel through different dimensions and you can really access them and have that.
00:53:11.000This is like coming back from space where you're like, oh, I don't know how to use my legs.
00:59:45.000No, no, my favorite was we went to Mark Norman's bachelor party and you pulled me aside privately and Ari looked me in the eyes and he goes, I need you to know I never drug you again.
00:59:57.000But how great was that when we were all fucked up on Molly, the sun setting in your old place, the place Comedy Bot, and Diaz is telling his stories.
01:00:12.000I call him, and I go, Joey, Ari just mollied me.
01:00:16.000And he goes, the words out of his mouth, dog, I'll be there at five.
01:00:22.000Shows up, takes the other half of whatever Molly already has, he eats it, and he sits bathing in the sunlight of a setting sun in my backyard telling me, cocksucker, you ain't gonna die.
01:01:20.000I had to pull her into the bathroom and I had to say, what I'm going to tell you is going to upset you, but I need you to take care of me and not you right now.
01:02:54.000It was one of the most surreal, it was the shittiest Sober October I've ever had, because my favorite part is us texting, but it was a surreal fucking experience that you don't get to have.
01:03:09.000It is hard to defend you, because I do love you.
01:03:18.000It's a crazy thing being a comic because you go, you know, when people get in trouble, like I remember Joe got in trouble and I posted a thing and then you're like, fuck, you realize people are going to shoot shit your way.
01:03:31.000But then you get weird people, like I know I told you this, my dad, when you're going through some shit, my dad's like, buddy, I respect a man who stands by his friends.
01:03:40.000And I go, that's what you've got to be.
01:03:41.000At the end of the day, you stand by your friends.
01:03:43.000That's the only thing that you respect out of a Man.
01:11:38.000You know me enough to know that that's the best part of this fucking movie is that it's just fun.
01:11:44.000I remember I was listening to you the day before filming and you said and you can find out who it was based on when we started filming and you said no one goes hard as fuck on comedies anymore.
01:11:56.000No one's making real comedies and I sat up in bed and In Serbia, and I went, I'm going hard as fuck.
01:12:02.000And I rewrote the fucking opening scene to this movie.
01:12:05.000I went through and I rewrote some stuff, ran it by Peter Atencio.
01:12:37.000They don't want to pretend that this has to represent your feelings on the way things should be in the real world, whether or not the world is equitable, whether or not people have gotten a bad...
01:17:52.000Yes, because if you could be that guy who became Jerry Seinfeld or Roseanne Barr, if you could get your sitcom, you are the fucking king of the world.
01:17:59.000And that's what everybody wanted, right?
01:18:01.000So they had this system that was set up like you just had to be clean in order to get up in clubs.
01:18:08.000When I went to do a guest spot, I was driving limos, and I called up Bill, who was the guy who was the owner of the club, and I said, hey, could I get...
01:18:18.000I think we called him, or I might have called the guy who was the manager, but I said, can I get 10 minutes?
01:18:22.000I have a new bit I just wrote today that I want to see if it works.
01:20:43.000And one day she comes up to me and she was like, Hey, I watched your set and I just wanted to say, you know, you're funny, but you're just too dirty and you're really not going to get work if you don't clean it up.
01:20:56.000And I go, you know, I really appreciate you giving me your insight on that.
01:23:49.000It would have been cool to have one with the latest jackass where it has a yarmulke on it.
01:23:57.000You don't realize it's a dick until too late.
01:23:58.000We used to put, late night at the store, we used to put my glasses, my thick glasses, I put them on my balls so it looked like my Jew nose sticking out.
01:26:28.000And by the way, I'm a regular person also, so I can empathize with everything the father feels.
01:26:34.000But he was trying to slam Louie, and in the process of it, the way of him saying that he was jerking off, it was so comedic that he did not intend it.
01:26:46.000And I saw it, and I couldn't stop laughing.
01:26:49.000And they're like, what are you laughing at?
01:27:01.000He doesn't have a sense of humor about it.
01:27:03.000He doesn't have a sense of humor, but the guy's clearly like a Cuban or a Puerto Rican guy, and he's like, I mean, all he says is like, And this one comedian who was, and the way he says it is so funny that it was not his intent,
01:28:05.000We're sitting there going, are we the only ones laughing at this?
01:28:08.000I gotta say, in your mom's house, in the Garth Brooks comments, sometimes the comments are like, to me, like a little comedy break from life.
01:28:18.000I like to go, when Garth Brooks posts something, and then I go and see your mom's house fans have bombarded the comments, like, where are the bodies?
01:34:07.000I think what happens is he starts getting a bunch of, instead of, like, these things that make no sense, they all start going, like, love, love, love.
01:34:13.000If he doesn't like the comments, the comments go away because of this.
01:35:00.000Because a lot of nice people and smart people are Garth's fans.
01:35:02.000But if they're in the comments, and they see all this craziness that they don't understand at all, and it's all where the body's G. They don't understand it because where the body's G. They understand it at all.
01:37:08.000It makes no sense to be on your mom's house.
01:37:10.000There's a bunch of people that have been trolling him, but there are people that are Garth fans on this podcast that would be like, that would be fun.
01:37:17.000Because I do love Garth and I do love Tom.
01:45:15.000Yeah, when the chest strap clicks, I go up.
01:45:18.000Either chest strap or the tip of my nose.
01:45:19.000I think you could probably do a few more than 40. I probably could do 50. I could definitely do 100. I don't know what I could do, but I would 100% be able to do 50 easy.
01:46:30.000So wait, when you guys did your push-ups, because I would do them, because I was afraid about tearing a pack, no joke, I would do 10 sets of 10. Yeah, I was doing 5 sets of 20. You have to be careful.
01:46:43.000But the other thing is, like, you can do more work if you give yourself more rest.
01:46:47.000That's that whole Pavel Tatsulin method of strength.
01:47:01.000I mean, and this is very controversial and a lot of people disagree, but one thing that I think is valid about it is that you don't get hurt as much.
01:47:10.000Because like instead of doing one set of ten, I'll do two sets of five.
01:47:14.000And instead of doing, you know, 30 reps over 3 sets, I'm doing 30 reps over 6 sets.
01:47:20.000But I'm doing the same amount of work.
01:47:21.000I'm just taking big breaks in between the work.
01:49:07.000If you need to training, performing the push-up with hands elevated on a 24-inch bench will allow you to lift even less than a knee push-up at 41%.
01:49:14.000Yeah, people do those when they're rehabbing chest injuries.
01:50:40.000There's a variance and variability are two different things.
01:50:43.000Heart rate variability is where the amount of time between your heartbeat fluctuates slightly, even though these fluctuations are undetectable, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
01:57:33.000Play this at my funeral, and then everyone's going to go, I would hope that would make you sad if we're all dead and you're alive and you're right and you're going to play it at the funeral.
02:06:52.000I do one thing where I do a whole bodyweight circuit one day, where I start with chin-ups, and then I go from chin-ups to dips, and then I go dips to these kind of chin-ups, like a different grip, and then I go from that to push-ups, and then I go from that to bodyweight squats.
02:08:30.000And it was a lot of like, put your leg up on a thing and then dip, dips, dips, and then like walk across the gym with holding a weight, then do push-ups.
02:08:52.000But they say the key is to actually hold it in one hand.
02:08:56.000The key is to do one hand, one side, like a heavy weight on one side, because you have to compensate with the other side, and then you switch.
02:09:03.000And then doing it with two, it's almost like you let the weights hang down, they balance each other out.
02:09:08.000It actually makes it a little easier than doing it with one in each hand.
02:09:13.000One all the way down, all the way back, push-ups, then the other all the way down, all the way back, push-ups.
02:09:17.000Because you have to balance out that way, instead of the weights balancing you out.
02:09:20.000Is there something that, like, And I say this, I wish I knew what I was saying, but like Keith Weber in like a, like the cool thing about push-ups is that I knew that I could just get out of bed and go do them.
02:09:36.000But that's what I'm alluding to for this mobility stuff, is getting one that is without weights.
02:09:41.000Because somebody like him can design one that is challenging as fuck, but is without weights.
02:09:45.000Also, if you can do it through the day, I was at Billy Joel, and I was with Sal and Justin Silver and Big J, and they're like, what the fuck are you doing?
02:10:48.000Like, it sounds like a lightweight, but it's really not.
02:10:50.000Like, if you do, like, all that bodyweight stuff with a 25-pound kettlebell, like that guy, Keith Weber, he has his extreme cardio kettlebell workouts.
02:11:00.000Six-minute workouts, one of the best workouts I've ever done.
02:11:02.000I'll tell you as the weakest member of this group.
02:14:28.000And you see them go to the laundry room with their shirts off because they're washing everything and you're like, God damn it, you're fucking ripped.
02:20:09.000What they told me, because I've been doing it for a while now, is just to be mindful of if something hurts, sometimes you go, I'll just keep going.
02:20:24.000I can still do push-ups, but you just feel it differently.
02:20:28.000With weight, I definitely had different weights.
02:20:30.000I heard a doctor at a Something, not my doctor, but he said the problem with a lot of people in their 40s and 50s is they don't have explosive strength, but they still have explosive movements.
02:21:33.000I thought that's just like, oh, you just go back on there and try to jump as high as you can.
02:21:38.000Isn't it funny watching a non-ethnic, somebody used to be, somebody in their 40s, A basketball goes up, and they're like, okay, I can shoot, and they shoot like, what's wrong with you?
02:21:49.000Because you still remember the right form.
02:21:51.000If you don't work your body out, it starts to fucking slip away, kids.
02:21:57.000Our cameraman on our bus started listening to the way we were talking about doing push-ups, and the whole concept that if you are not lifting weights into your 50s, You are letting your body deteriorate.
02:24:03.000I don't even do it, but I remember doing it that day and oh now I know I could do 12 reps at 225. I thought I was 9. Drunk.
02:24:11.000No, no, it was 12. Because I don't do it at all.
02:24:14.000So it was weird to me that I, even though just through doing kettlebells, which it never gets heavier than 70 pounds, I still maintain strength to do 12 reps at 225. That's a lot.
02:26:24.000A moment when you're fucking, we talked about this before, like, Bert's the guy, you give him a basketball, he never practices, he fucking swishes it from mid-court in front of 15,000 people, and everybody goes crazy.
02:26:35.000Just like when you were on that show and you shot the fucking bullseye with an arrow.
02:27:06.000Because my thing is everybody is this weird beginner, but if you just fucking keep figuring it out, you can get to this wild place of excellence.
02:27:21.000If you don't fuck things up with your body, you don't fuck things up with your brain, you can get better at it to the point where you achieve a level of excellence.
02:27:28.000And you never count on divine moments.
02:27:39.000It's interesting that, and I love that about you, because I never appreciated it before until I started following guys like David Goggins and those guys.
02:27:52.000But there's something in my soul that fucks me up, and I just go, I'll do 100 miles.
02:30:20.000That's the number one key is you never let it go.
02:30:23.000You never let your body slip away to the point where you can't like Do you understand, though, how many brains feel like yours and how many brains feel like mine?
02:33:27.000The thing about athletes that I always tell this to fighters in particular, because I think it's the most dangerous of athletics other than football, right?
02:33:34.000I say, if you're not obsessed with doing it, don't do it.
02:33:38.000If you're not obsessed, because there's people out there that are going to be obsessed, and they're going to fuck you up.
02:33:43.000They're going to fuck you up, those demons.
02:33:44.000You see it with comedians all the time.
02:33:45.000Yeah, if you're not obsessed with comedy, you're just bomb.
02:35:14.000And for anybody to say he doesn't hit hard because he's a YouTube star, if this guy was not a fucking YouTube star, and he was some dude who went out there and flatlined Tyron Woodley with one punch and just knocked down Anderson Silva in the fucking eighth round,
02:35:59.000Listen, if this is what he wants to do, this guy is making a fucking insane amount of money, and he fucking loves it, and he's beating people that everybody says he shouldn't be in the fucking ring with.
02:37:45.000Canelo's number one, because he's basically, people think he's, other than Bival who just beat him, but Bival beat him in a weight class above his.
02:37:51.000He's the pound for pound most people think.
02:37:54.000The fact that the guy had the balls to go all the way up to 75 and not just knock out Kovalev, who was a former champion, but then take on Bivol, who's undefeated, at the top of his game, and lose a decision to him.
02:39:28.000Hey, what's up with Dana White with the, hey, you'll be dead in five years.
02:39:33.000Oh, he apparently went to some doctor who examined his lifestyle and Dana was overweight and he wasn't feeling well and he was having sleep apnea and all those different things.
02:39:43.000And this doctor put him on a diet and exercise regime and said, listen, I've been really accurate about this kind of thing.
02:39:48.000This is where this goes and this is nothing but bad news in the future if you don't make a radical change in your health and your lifestyle.
02:39:55.000And so he started, basically he's kind of keto.
02:39:58.000You know, like he cut out all the bullshit.
02:44:57.000And when you get someone like Whitney, who's a brilliant writer and a really great performer, to watch them get so comfortable into their act to get into jazz with it, that's when it's fucking beautiful.
02:45:07.000It is, uh, hold on, I'm getting it for you.
02:47:31.000It burns out that part of your body that is worried about threats.
02:47:36.000Like, if you think about the actual amount of exterior threats that become significant in your life, it's fairly low.
02:47:42.000But all your life, you're, like, dealing with the fucking news of the world, and this and that, and this guy's got cancer, and he's afraid of that, and she's afraid of this, and everyone's on a medication, and there's all this chaos.
02:47:55.000There's this always like this external thing and crime is up and look at all the tents and fucking traffic is all the fucking global warming and everything's happening and everybody's fucking stressed whether you need to be or not and the only thing that gets you out of that in my experience is something that you have to do that's hard because when things are hard you can only think about the thing you're doing.
02:48:17.000So whether it's rowing or whether it's riding a fucking airdyne or whether it's doing a kettlebell circuit, when it's hard to do, you only think about the thing you're doing.
02:48:25.000And it clears your mind and it releases your body of a certain amount of pent-up anxiety that it associates with physical conflict.
02:48:35.000Your body associates stress with being attacked by predators, with physical conflict.
02:48:40.000And if you can burn that out of your system with a workout, it puts you into a more reasonable level of anxiety.
02:51:56.000When I do shows, I love to do shows around Austin, and I love to do shows on the road, but I like to do a weekend, and I like to come back home.
02:52:02.000Because I feel like, for me, there's a balance that you have to achieve with being a normal person and also being a comic.
02:53:48.000But I feel like if I don't do everything in my capability to get ready for that special, then I'm letting down myself, my family, and everyone else.
02:54:01.000And I feel like when it comes to stand-up, the one thing I can do good, right?
02:54:33.000This is my take on creativity, though.
02:54:36.000I think creativity is like a flexible thing inside your head and I think you have to put yourself in the states of mind in order to like broaden expand the way you see life and that enhances your creativity and for me that that is a lot of shows But it's also a lot of shows at home.
02:55:53.000So that for me to go out and be on a tour bus and be on the road, and even if it's doing clubs or doing smaller venues, for me, I'm focused on the thing I love, and that's all I think about.
02:56:31.000So he's doing it that way, and then there's other guys that are just on the road doing clubs, and you go out of your way to see them when they come into town, because you want to see what the fuck they're up to, because they're really good.
02:56:41.000There's no right or wrong way to do this.
02:57:28.000We could do some fucking really fun, because I think, I think, and this is the fucking thing, like you get to a certain age, you're supposed to already figure things out.
02:57:46.000But we're all figuring things out all the time.
02:57:49.000And every time we do these fucking things, I come out of them with a newfound appreciation for our friendship, a newfound appreciation for the fun that is to have people like you guys that can do something stupid with, and we can talk shit to each other and have so much fun.
03:02:47.000I will tell you, Tom, when I was running my hour, I asked him, like, hey, can you come in to the store and give me notes with a few other comics?
03:03:35.000When you go on the road, because I think me and you were probably like this, but you go on the road and you're like so appreciative of the idea you could do stand-up.
03:03:50.000There's a new thing where dudes get fame on the internet, and you blow them up, and then all of a sudden they're like, hey man, I'm also the star.
03:11:46.000Dude, that song about we're all fishing in the same pond, it's just about forgiveness and right side, left side doesn't matter because we're all fishing from the same boat, fishing in the same bond.
03:11:55.000It's just such a good fucking song, good theme.
