00:03:24.000I'm not ordering things online anymore.
00:04:29.000But you've got to think, like, how many knucklehead fucking phone calls?
00:04:33.000If you are running a computer company, say, if you're selling Windows computers, and you've got a customer service line, just stop and think about the fucking numbskull questions your friends have asked you about their computers.
00:04:46.000Like, you know that one friend that didn't get a laptop until he was 30?
00:04:50.000And he's like, alright, alright, I'm getting in.
00:06:29.000If you've never heard of Ting, Ting is one of our favorite sponsors because it's the only one that we have, other than Squarespace, that I think I've never heard anybody say a single negative thing about it.
00:07:13.000So you're dealing with a really high-end cell phone signal.
00:07:18.000You're dealing with 4G. You're dealing with the top Nokia devices, the top Samsung devices, all the badass Android devices, all the big screen ones.
00:07:29.000And you can bring them over from Sprint as well.
00:07:34.000If you have phones for Sprint, particularly even iPhones, the 4 and the 4S, you can bring them over from Sprint.
00:07:40.000What they're trying to do is give you a no bullshit cell phone service, where they don't have to rip you off, they charge you a decent rate for an excellent service, and everybody's happy.
00:07:52.000It's just an ethical way to do business.
00:11:14.000We're also brought to you by Onnit.com.
00:11:16.000Onnit is O-N-N-I-T. And if you've been paying attention to some of the more recent things about vitamins, there's a fascinating blog that Aubrey put up over at Onnit.
00:11:29.000Vitamins, there's all this debate about whether or not these new studies showed vitamins to be dangerous or to be ineffective.
00:11:41.000And the study is actually really pretty limited.
00:11:44.000I was kind of shocked that they would make the conclusions from this study that they made.
00:11:48.000Because what the study showed was, first of all, people who had already had heart disease, and these are very minimal doses of synthetic vitamins too, and they showed people that had already had heart attacks, like recovery from heart attacks,
00:12:05.000people showing a cognitive decline And I forget there was one other one.
00:12:11.000But the idea behind it was that they were showing that vitamins were just not effective.
00:12:17.000And that because in these three cases that they're stating that they didn't show a positive impact using what are essentially synthetic vitamins.
00:12:27.000The best way to get vitamins, for sure, is from food.
00:12:31.000But if you want to get high-level nutrients Like, really high levels in your body to the point where it's affecting you in positive ways, like with a nootropic or with, you know, vitamin B12 when you're exercising.
00:12:44.000To actually get that all from food, holy fuck, you have to eat a lot of weird shit.
00:13:20.000B12 is about as rock-solid science as it gets.
00:13:23.000There's a reason why these things have all been isolated.
00:13:25.000They know what the effects of these things are.
00:13:27.000And there's a gang of studies that showed different improvements in people that had taken vitamins for infectious illness, for mood and stress, cognition, work stress.
00:13:42.000They even did a study on juvenile delinquency and they showed an improvement in juvenile delinquency and the lack of it if you give the kids healthy vitamins.
00:13:51.000Well, I read something that mostly people that commit suicide are vitamin deficient.
00:13:56.000And I don't know if vitamins can help you with that, but that says something right there.
00:14:00.000I mean, it makes you really unhappy if you don't have all your vitamins.
00:14:53.000I think it's just these doctors that put together a case with these multivitamin researchers.
00:15:00.000But look, they've got us talking about it.
00:15:03.000It's certainly something to be discussed because I think they're right in a lot of ways.
00:15:07.000And what they're right in a lot of ways is that if you take a standard multivitamin and you don't know the source of it, you don't know if it's food based, you don't know if it's plant based, you don't know where they're extracting their nutrients from, you're very likely to get It doesn't absorb,
00:16:40.000I take B12 every morning under my tongue and I immediately feel it.
00:16:44.000Sublingual B12 is also proven effective.
00:16:47.000It's a joke to say that vitamins and minerals don't do anything for your body is a silly statement.
00:16:52.000So when you see this enough is enough, stop wasting money on vitamin and mineral supplements, and then you look at their actual findings.
00:16:58.000The findings were like, these were very limited tests done on, they were male physicians over 65 showed no improvement in cognitive decline using generic multivitamin supplementation.
00:20:28.000And they pieced it together and figured out that this is a mushroom that they were eating.
00:20:33.000And when they were eating this mushroom, that's when they started to have this response.
00:20:36.000So that also is mixed with a very bioavailable form of vitamin B12. And it's an awesome supplement to take about an hour before you work out.
00:20:46.000All these things work, and we're so confident that they work that we have a 90-day 30-pill money-back guarantee when you buy New Mood, which is a 5-HTP supplement.
00:20:58.000Which is designed to give your body the building blocks for serotonin.
00:21:03.000Give your body the building blocks to make your brain actually feel better.
00:21:07.000All this stuff is fascinating stuff and there's a lot of science behind 5-HTP as well.
00:21:11.000And all the other different supplements, it's all listed on it.
00:21:14.000Go to O-N-N-I-T, this commercial's too long, and enter in the code name Rogue and save yourself 10% off any and all supplements.
00:30:29.000That honesty process is super important.
00:30:32.000I also think it's one of the cool things about what we do, that we have so many comic friends that we're constantly interacting with on a regular basis.
00:30:41.000It's always Joey and Ari and Duncan and you and Segura and fucking Kreischer and all super cool, super honest, super...
00:32:27.000I think because also Chris was doing so many different things at the same time and probably doing movies and shit and I think he just liked to have all those minds to help him you know go over his stuff which is that's a ballsy move you know have all these bad motherfuckers write cool jokes for you I know and also work with you creating the jokes so you get like The opinions of all these expert comedians,
00:32:49.000that's a real ballsy move because a lot of comedians don't want to be judged on their performances.
00:32:54.000But when you're bringing in guys like Louis C.K. to write for you, you're going to get the real deal.
00:33:00.000You're going to be in the most honest assessment ever of the material.
00:33:04.000And a bunch of masterminds gearing together and putting together this perfect masterpiece of comedy.
00:33:10.000Do you personally think that's good, though?
00:36:26.000But there was a guy, I'm very positive that there was a guy who was trying to put together a one-man show, and he was just going to do Bill Hicks.
00:37:16.000And it was all when he was visiting Boston.
00:37:19.000Because he was a big, like, touring pro coming off of the Roddy Dangerfield special, and he was, like, just starting to catch heat right as I got into comedy.
00:40:23.000Now, I just worked with somebody recently in Indianapolis who's been around for a long time, and he said Bill Hicks had a lot more dick jokes than you think.
00:41:33.000It was in a way, it was like, when he was doing certain bits, he wasn't just doing a bit.
00:41:40.000He was doing a bit that plants a seed and gets you thinking about a subject differently.
00:41:44.000Because he's mocked it so well that whenever you try to seriously bring up the war on drugs after you've heard Bill Hicks talk about it, you seem like an asshole.
00:41:58.000It was a fascinating way of mixing ideas into comedy in, I think, the most powerful way since Lenny Bruce.
00:42:05.000I personally think he's the most powerful at it because his impact is felt by, I think, a different era because of YouTube and because of the videos and the audio that's available.
00:42:17.000The Lenny Bruce stuff, if you try to go back and listen to it now, it doesn't really hold up anymore.
00:43:11.000I don't want to show you tape of me when I was 27. Well, you don't want to see tape of him when he was like 17, because he was funny when he was 17. I know!
00:43:18.000He was going up at the fucking Houston Annex when he was 17 and was good.
00:45:26.000But it's also a weird thing that you would get addicted to taking something, lighting it on fire, and then putting it up to your mouth and then breathing it in.
00:45:33.000Just the ritual of doing that can become so ingrained in your life that it represents something like after sex.
00:45:40.000Some people like to smoke a cigarette.
00:47:37.000I think they can blow it in your face and you just have it in your face and just breathing it in, like having it blown in your mouth and your nose.
00:48:41.000It was me and my buddy Jimmy, and luckily he didn't take the Dramamine, and we were at the diner on the way home, and I was just sitting in front of him nodding out like a heroin addict.
00:48:57.000Jimmy was like 200 plus pounds, and I was probably, at the time, I was I was probably about 155 pounds and I took this one Dramamine or two Dramanines.
00:49:07.000I don't know how many they gave me, but I was gone, son.
00:52:42.000Like those, like, CSI shows and the like, those, I don't know, I want to say that one in particular, but a lot of those single camera, like, cop shows, those fucking people are working 16 hours a day, six days a week, and the fucking season is forever.
00:52:54.000It takes forever to get 27 episodes of a cop show done.
00:52:57.000Just so they can be like, I work in the movies!
00:54:30.000I would say that if you were working on a set of a show that was working crazy hours all the time, you'd probably need at least a strong energy drink habit.
00:57:08.000If they don't get a 12 hour turnaround, they have to pay penalties and they pay meal penalties and all these union penalties that they have to pay.
00:57:16.000But at the end of the day, it's like, why is everybody choosing to work so crazy?
01:00:37.000I had just gotten into stand-up, just gotten done fighting, just gotten into stand-up, and then moved out to LA. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing.
01:00:44.000I couldn't even believe I was on TV. Two years ago, I was broke as fuck, barely getting by as a comic.
01:00:51.000And then all of a sudden, I'm sitting here with Dave fucking Foley and Phil Hartman, and we're going over the lines of the show we're on.
01:06:04.000But because of that, because of no pressure, no stardom, no craziness, not too much network interference, brilliant producer, it became this weird environment where there's all this ad-libbing and all this re-changing of things and very dynamic and really funny stuff that you're proud to tell someone that you worked on.
01:06:23.000So once you've done that, it's really hard to do a shitty one like the hardball one again.
01:06:28.000And most likely, that's what you're going to run into.
01:06:47.000Dave would oftentimes change a line, like, on the fly, like, come up with something that was funnier, because his background had been live performing.
01:08:50.000You know as well as I do that when you're trying to create something, especially if you're trying to create something funny, the less shit you have coming in, the better.
01:09:00.000When it comes to, like, outside of the creative sphere, you know, the less people...
01:09:06.000Like, once you get down to a core group of very competent individuals, like writers and artists are sitting together and they're trying to compile the correct way to do something, and they're working on it very hard.
01:09:15.000If they're a functional group, that should be where that ends.
01:09:49.000When I first started doing stand-up, I got this management group and they're like, we're going to try to base a sitcom around the fucking five minutes that you actually have.
01:09:56.000And every month, and it wasn't just me, it was a bunch of guys that they managed, every month they would have these shows where they would go to and then they would give us suggestions on how to write sets that would inspire sitcoms.
01:13:00.000Yeah, a buddy of mine, that guy, was there doing some movie, and he turned a corner, and some guy smashed him in the face with a pipe, knocked him out cold, his teeth were shattered.
01:15:11.000But the difference between a guy who's really good and the difference between a guy who's really famous, as far as what's valuable in a lot of ways, is how much better is the good guy than the famous guy?
01:16:45.000She's born in 1926. So to be able to look back and see her after I met her, then I watched the Dick Van Dyke show, and I got to look back and see her on what was like, for a lot of people that were alive at the time, that was an iconic program.
01:17:00.000And so I was like, oh, now I know why these older people that were on the set were like freaked out that she was on the show.
01:17:06.000Well, it's because, like, Jesus Christ, it'd be weird to be on television if you were born and lived before television was even invented.
01:17:18.000But still, it wasn't common until the 50s.
01:17:21.000Yeah, and people, they barely had enough money to buy one of those gigantic furniture things you would roll into your living room and occupy a good solid 10 square feet of space.
01:17:52.000There's a lot of people that don't get a shot.
01:17:54.000The thing about acting that's kind of most fucked is, A, how many people out there would be awesome at it if they applied themselves?
01:18:02.000There's a lot of friends that we have that don't act at all, but if they really decided to be badass actors, they would be incredible at it.
01:19:56.000I bet doing it from behind was a lot more popular back then, because you had that extra gap, so you always probably just leaned her over the bed.
01:20:03.000I don't think people really live like that, dude.
01:22:11.000That was, I was like saying go fuck off.
01:22:13.000Yeah, it's really weird watching old shit like that.
01:22:16.000Did you see, I was listening to Opie and Anthony, and they were talking about the house from the future that they used to have, where it's like, in the future, we're going to have, and they were showing how much similarities of what they guessed the house of the future was.
01:23:12.000What I'm going to do is I'm going to go, I'm going to watch old shit with the predicted future, find out what happened and what didn't, and then pick up the pieces.
01:25:39.000They take a hill in a place where the ground moves all the fucking time, and they just stick a big spike right down the middle and put a circle on it.
01:26:14.000Seriously, though, if you're a single guy, full charge, and I know you are, and you're looking to be sly, and you're looking to really impress a gal with where you're living...
01:27:09.000I guess by the time you can afford a house, you've kind of, like, got rid of all those crazy ideas about living in a fucking UFO. Yeah, I think so.
01:27:18.000And, like, if you do come up with a crazy plan for it, if you're an architect, then you've got to find somebody who's crazy enough to do it.
01:27:25.000You also have to find, like, the Homeowners Association has to agree with it.
01:30:03.000What is it about the Rocky Horror Picture Show that makes everyone want to get together and watch it over and over and over and over and over and over again?
01:30:11.000Have these midnight screenings and everybody loves it and they dress up and it's a community.
01:35:02.000He couldn't be himself throughout the ages.
01:35:04.000Whereas Nicholson, the hair started falling out, no toupee, just show up to award shows, his hair all fucked up, big bald spot, doesn't give a shit.
01:36:39.000The only young people that had in Smokey and the Bandit was people that almost got hit by cars on a baseball field when they jumped and started driving on a baseball field.
01:36:48.000How great is Jackie Gleason in that movie?
01:37:47.000In the depths of this lowly division while investigating a high-dollar prostitution ring...
01:37:53.000Sharky stumbles across a mob murder with government ties.
01:37:57.000Isn't it funny when you read a crazy, super, overly dramatic movie?
01:38:02.000You read the description and you're like, what kind of a life is this that all this keeps happening to you?
01:38:07.000Sharky stumbles across a mob murder with government ties and responds by assembling his downtrodden fellow investigators Sharky's machine to find the leaders and bring them to justice.
01:38:20.000Meanwhile, most cops are bored out of their fucking minds just sitting around the office.
01:39:07.000Well, no, people are afraid of the NSA. They're afraid of the NSA, tuning into your laptop.
01:39:11.000If you look through a million hours of me, you're going to see me in front of the computer, and then 10% of those times, I'll be beating off.
01:41:14.000I think personally, when you start getting into weird, freaky shit, like if you're only into someone coming on feet or something like that, maybe you need to stop beating off for a couple months.
01:41:23.000Maybe you've talked yourself into some weird box where every girl has to have a dick and everybody's feet have to have red nails.
01:43:42.000You know, something that's really not that good.
01:43:44.000Or you're trying to downplay something that is unbelievably super awesome.
01:43:48.000Like if you're, you know, standing there in front of a movie, you've been waiting for three years, and you have the opening night ticket, you're like, ta-da!
01:43:54.000Those are legit jazz hands, you know, when you're waiting for The Hobbit, The Desolation of Smaug, to come out.
01:44:02.000Do you remember when the fucking Harry Potter novels were coming out and people were making videos of them running by and giving away the ending?
01:51:01.000Now that I'm thinking about it, is there one actor more synonymous with a very specific type of jumpsuit than Bruce Lee?
01:51:08.000No, I mean, unless you count L.O.Hul J, which you can't.
01:51:12.000But they can't, because he owns that yellow jumpsuit in the Game of Death so hard that, to this day, the only time you see people wearing them is when they're wearing it for a Bruce Lee costume.
01:51:22.000Like, he owns that fucking yellow jumpsuit.
01:51:24.000There's never been, like, a time like that where someone has just a really standard type of athletic apparel that is so common to them that when you see it, all you think about is them.
01:52:08.000It was, you know, when you see a guy like Burt Reynolds that's, like, had all that plastic surgery and he's, like, really hurting right now.
01:52:16.000No one's won the plastic surgery game yet, have they?
01:52:45.000By the time they get to be like that age, especially the superstar blockbuster type dudes that keep their hair the same color, they've had a little bit of something done.
01:52:54.000Just a little tuck here, a little Botox there.
01:52:56.000They get that weird shiny skin that doesn't move.
01:52:58.000And when they do this, it doesn't work.
01:53:23.000A lot of those guys, like George Carlin, perfect example.
01:53:28.000George Carlin just kept being George Carlin through being a young guy to being an old curmudgeon, an old scholarly curmudgeon breaking down the funny shit about the world.
01:55:41.000So cool he's got the TV show, because he was like, I don't know if you remember, like, when he showed up in L.A. in the late 90s, everyone was going fucking apeshit for him.
