00:00:11.000Oh, I was doing television this morning.
00:00:14.000As I mentioned to you, I just did Colin Cowherd's show and I run out of button-down shirts that I could wear on TV. Because I always go button-down jeans and whatever, nice pair of shoes.
00:00:23.000I'm not a sport coat guy, but I was just like...
00:00:25.000I had to go back and Google image myself on the show going, what did I wear last time?
00:00:30.000I couldn't tell what black shirt I had on.
00:00:32.000I was like, oh God, I gotta throw a sport coat on.
00:00:34.000So I'm sure I'll get trashed for that.
00:00:36.000Like, what are you all, Hollywood now, man?
00:01:30.000But just get somebody to come at you in a unique way.
00:01:35.000If they get me in a unique way, it actually makes me laugh, and then there's entertainment for me, but if it's the same old tired shit, I don't know.
00:05:56.000This Japanese gentleman who bought it is some super billionaire character who apparently has another one that he spent 50-something million on.
00:06:05.000Yeah, that's when you're like eating endangered species for breakfast.
00:07:45.000There was a video that I watched the other day of Elon Musk from 1998 when he was first becoming a billionaire and he bought a million dollar car and he had his million dollar car delivered with his girlfriend at the time who he got rid of.
00:07:58.000I was going to say, at the same time, and you're my girlfriend.
00:08:02.000But it's so funny to see him as this young dork who's, you know, just making shit tons of money, and his hair's all goofy, and he has this million-dollar car delivered.
00:14:26.000What I like about those old movies, so many of them, is when you watch an army movie from back then, you're watching someone who was in the army and shot at people.
00:18:16.000Everybody would have to run a mile away when the thing was going off and plug your ears up just because it would blow your eardrums literally apart.
00:21:30.000He's a fucking guy who somehow was like my height and was considered a heavyweight fighter.
00:21:37.000And he's the guy, according to him, He came up with the grab them right underneath your collar and then turn all the way sideways because he didn't have the reach advantage.
00:21:51.000And then he would wait for them to throw, he'd duck under and then come over the top.
00:25:18.000Like, it takes a year to make, but how long does it take you?
00:25:22.000Well, I mean, the writer's room is like a, you know, like a 10-week, 11-week thing, and then you're recording as you go, and then you're looking at...
00:25:32.000You know, the first drawings of it where they sort of rough it out and be like, no, no, I have Frank standing over here and Sue's over here and it just kind of, you just keep, then you rewrite and then you're watching stuff and it doesn't play and then you rewrite it and it just, yeah, it takes a year, dude.
00:25:47.000It takes like 10 months and then the last two months is just going, okay, deciding on strategies on how they're going to promote it.
00:25:57.000Which amazed me, because I'm like, well, we'll fucking do what we always do.
00:26:00.000But, like, this business just changes so rapidly that even how we promoted it when it first came out in December 2015, you know, which was almost 2016, so now we're in 2017. Like, it's...
00:26:12.000a bunch of other stuff has changed since then, so I don't know.
00:26:24.000No, they would just go in, like, they brought me in, maybe this was my stand-up special, that's what they brought me in, and they showed, they basically showed me how everybody's Netflix screen is different.
00:26:38.000Like, yours is different, your homepage is different, because it's all, they're just watching you watch TV, or they got this fucking thing that watches it, so the only way our screen, our top whatever, would be the exact same is if we watched the exact same shit At the same time,
00:26:54.000and maybe even the same age group, I have no idea, but I was blown away by that.
00:26:57.000Like, I just thought like, you know, I would look and be, oh man, my special's on the cover of Netflix.
00:27:03.000It's like, no, it's on the cover of yours.
00:27:05.000And whoever else is in that vibe of like, you're going to like this.
00:27:18.000So if I go to my kids' homepage, like if they want to watch a show that they watch, and I go there, I see just a bunch of little kids' shows.
00:27:24.000I don't ever see anything that I watch.
00:27:26.000I go to mine, I see House of Cards, I see your special, I see other people's specials.
00:29:04.000Like, I just try to, whatever I'm doing, I try to make it as funny as I possibly can, and try to work with the best people I possibly can, and then just hope it sticks.
00:29:13.000And if it doesn't, I can always just keep telling jokes.
00:29:16.000Other than that, I don't know what to tell you.
00:29:18.000I have no idea, and I was, fuck, when I took that meeting with Netflix, I went in there like, this is a jerk-off meeting, why did I drive all the way over here to fucking have a meeting on how to promote this shit?
00:29:28.000And when they sat down and they were done with the presentation, I was like, am I allowed to leave?
00:29:33.000Like, you don't do the men in black thing to me before I walk out of here so I forget all that?
00:30:16.000Well, early Tom Cruise, it was fun to be that famous, but before social media and everybody had a camera that they could pull out like Charles Bronson in that cologne commercial, then it just becomes...
00:30:28.000It's just something completely different.
00:30:30.000Like, when we started in this business, like...
00:30:33.000Being famous was courtside seats and, I don't know, fucking mountains of blow.
00:30:38.000It says, Netflix star ratings were personalized and had been from the start.
00:30:44.000That means when you saw a movie on Netflix rated four stars, it didn't mean the average of all ratings were four stars.
00:30:50.000Instead, it meant that Netflix thought you'd rate it four stars based on your habits and other people's ratings, but many people didn't get that.
00:30:57.000So how the fuck was Amy Schumer's one star?
00:34:15.000It was pretty outrageous that she immediately got hired by Hillary Clinton.
00:34:19.000But anyway, the kid, who was his Bernie Sanders supporter, his name was Seth Rich, he was murdered outside of his house at 4 o'clock in the morning.
00:34:53.000I was going to say, after he lets the information out, what is the purpose of killing the guy?
00:34:58.000Because you're not going to stop the information.
00:34:59.000What it is is to stop other people from doing it because they all get creeped out by...
00:35:04.000To stop other people from doing it, one, and two, so that he can't testify on the depth of all the corruption that was going on in the DNC and who had organized it and who had orchestrated it.
00:35:47.000Jesus, you guys just blew my theory out of the water.
00:35:49.000Yeah, he's like a 37-year-old federal prosecutor, went for a jog in South Beach and found with a gunshot wound to his head, I believe is what they say.
00:39:37.000The table reads are fun because I think that's more like a stand-up show.
00:39:43.000I really rehearse my lines and I make sure that I sell the shit out of them because I don't have to go back and fix them if they don't work at the table read.
00:39:52.000That's something that I did accidentally early in my career.
00:40:35.000But to go there and just sort of mumble your way through it, it's not a good position to get yourself into as an actor if the whole writer's room is like, oh, fuck this guy.
00:40:46.000Yeah, wasn't that an issue on, what was that girl on one of those cop shows, not cop shows, one of those hospital shows, Grey's Anatomy?
00:40:53.000Was that girl said she wanted to be removed from consideration for the Emmys because she didn't think the material was strong enough that year?
00:41:24.000Katherine Heigl this week said she had opted out of the Emmys race this year because she was not given good enough material to work with last season.
00:41:32.000That is 29 years old on top of the fucking world.
00:41:37.000That is just disappearing up your own fucking vagina right there.
00:43:11.000Like, you got that fucking going on with...
00:43:14.000If you're just remotely a pleasant person, when you get to a certain level of fame, people are just like...
00:43:20.000You are just the most amazing, like, I sneezed and you said God bless you.
00:43:25.000I mean, he is so down to earth, like, the level that you have to just fucking barely even be a fucking decent human being to just get this avalanche of compliments.
00:43:34.000If you got that going on and then you got this fucking paranoia thing, like, uh...
00:45:27.000That's why there's, like, all these stars piling on like the Golden State Warriors every movie.
00:45:32.000Back in the day, like, to make Ocean's Eleven happen when all of those people could have had their own starring vehicle and make all of this fucking money.
00:45:53.000It all ended in 05, 06, and I started getting work in like fucking 09, 2010. They were like, oh my god, they'd fucking pay for John Travolta's jet fuel.
00:48:00.000If you could somehow, if there was an app that you listened to when you were asleep and it convinced you that you were going to have to take your shirt off in a movie, like the level of shape that Americans would get into, I think would be crazy.
00:48:22.000Like, if you ever get to the level, if you get bored with just, you know, and you want to go for the ultimate prey, like, that's the head you want on your wall.
00:49:52.000That's the exact question I asked Josh Adam Myers, who also does a voice on Howlin' Hank, the DJ. I remember when he came up with the DJ character, I'm like, I got the guy with the perfect voice.
00:50:46.000Like, you do a little stand-up as well?
00:50:47.000Yeah, well, the way it started out was you would come out and just talk about how much you loved music, and then you'd talk about the awful band you played in, or some of the concerts you went to, or a rock star that they meant something to you, and...
00:52:07.000In a way that he doesn't show a lot of people.
00:52:09.000Like, the way he prepared for this weight loss challenge.
00:52:11.000I'm a dark dude, and when I go into a room, if you're a psycho, you spot another psycho, and it's just like, there's a fucking movie going on there that I would love to finance.
00:53:41.000Well, listen, we just got in business with Liquid Drano, and they want to get into the streaming business, and they got all kinds of money.
00:53:48.000They know they're going to lose money in this first year, so we'll give you, we're just going to throw money at you.
00:55:40.000The one on the right is an angry psycho like me.
00:55:42.000The dude in the middle is sort of a middle ground, and then the other guy is like, I mean, he's right out of Hogan's Heroes.
00:55:48.000There was a house that they were selling in Los Angeles that was on that show, and I was watching it, and they were trying to sell it for $20 million, and it was for sale recently.
00:55:56.000It's actually a house that's really for sale, but it's like right above Sunset Strip.
00:56:01.000Like, you could see it from the strip.
00:56:02.000Like, imagine buying a $20 million house, and you could just look at it.
00:59:27.000I got inspired recently because I read something about some celebrity that fucking was already good looking and then they just laid off the booze being like, yeah, I kind of was going too hard and the dude was even better looking.
00:59:38.000I was just like, yeah, I gotta cut this out.
01:00:46.000We did have this whole fucking thing where she just, like, I'd come walking in with a drink, and she just, oh, last year when we were doing the show, and just the stress of writing and just thinking all day and coming home.
01:00:56.000I was, like, really fucking hitting it a little harder.
01:00:59.000So I'd come into the room, and she was looking at my pores, and I went from this to this to this to getting, like, bigger.
01:01:04.000And then one night I came walking in, and she just goes, Jesus Christ!
01:01:08.000Why don't you just bring the whole bottle down?
01:06:04.000He's one of the funniest dudes out there, and he's one of the best character actors out there.
01:06:08.000It's just that he looks like an astronaut superhero that they tried to make him like this matinee idol guy, and he was really like a character actor guy.
01:09:48.000You know what would be great is if you knew whose it was and you could have somebody filming their face when you shot their shit out of the sky.
01:10:15.000How does that work with, like, say if you wanted to fly over Kim Kardashian's house in a helicopter and take pictures of her, are you allowed to?
01:11:11.000You go to Torrance, you're going to be in traffic for two hours.
01:11:15.000Yeah, no, that's all kind of amazing that they passed that you know that those people couldn't figure out a way to bribe their way I'm sure in that airport, but it did three years is a long fucking time Do you remember in New York City when they first had those videos?
01:11:28.000You know advertising in the back of cabs and everybody's like these are making me carsick at these things the fuck out of here People had such a reaction to it.
01:11:34.000They went away and then like a few years later They just came back just came back now.
01:11:39.000He loves them and they're fucking gross and Just touching that screen, all of that.
01:11:43.000It's bad enough being in the cab, and you just see the fingerprints.
01:11:46.000It's bad enough opening and closing the door, but I can't see the fingerprints.
01:12:29.000Maybe you get a couple of metrosexuals, but yeah, I just felt like that was a great, like, what can we pretend to care about that will get us to sell more underwear?
01:18:15.000I think that all the motorcycle guys, I want to talk to, I was hoping I was going to meet some of their helicopter pilots, because those fucking, they fly at like 300 feet, the balls those guys have.
01:18:32.000First move to LA, this girl I was dating, right outside of her house, someone broke into someone's house, and they had the helicopter flying over the head.
01:18:55.000There's a building and on the second floor they have ceiling to floor windows.
01:18:59.000And somebody broke in there and they had like the helicopter spotlight was on it.
01:19:05.000And I watched two cops like a movie walking down that hallway with their guns drawn, slowly walking in, just sitting there like, what the fuck is this?
01:20:06.000I'm sure I would have that would have been it when they were fucking crouched behind that car and that guy remember that guy spray in the Yeah, you know, I love how people going like oh, then they went up and shot the guy who's clearly hurt there Yeah, they wouldn't pull him away.
01:23:45.000They're still going after that birth of shit.
01:23:47.000I saw something yesterday on some website that was showing how they have all these different confirmed sources that are showing that the Obama birth certificate was fake.
01:24:05.000Listen, the fucking, the NBA had that mobbed up ref and he said that he fucked the Warriors out of, I mean, the Kings out of that series against the Lakers.
01:24:13.000No one's gonna take the fucking Lakers title away for that year.
01:25:18.000So, like, many, many years ago, like, they'd bring in these guys, like, they'd bring in some guy from, like, Brazil that I knew about, and I would look at the line, and I'd be like, you guys are out of your fucking mind.
01:25:29.000This guy should be, like, a 10-to-1 favorite.
01:25:31.000And you got him an underdog, I'm like, ooh, I'm putting some money on that.
01:25:34.000And I'd put some money on it, but then after a while, I was like, this is probably not smart.
01:26:22.000And I've never fixed a fucking game, but I mean, I'm just, you know, I'm just, I give you another one in the second quarter, I don't see you until the next half, and at some point you're going to get mad.
01:26:30.000If I keep calling bullshit fouls, I might get you on a technical foul.
01:26:36.000And then that counts towards your fouls, and then two fouls, two technicals, you're out of the game, you're ejected.
01:26:42.000So was it obvious that this guy was doing fouls?
01:26:44.000I thought it was obvious that the NBA was kind of fixed for a while.
01:26:47.000Like, I was sitting going like, yeah, I just, I went to a game one time, the Celtics versus Utah Jazz, and I'm watching the fucking game, and like, just like...
01:26:55.000The game starts, they're letting them play.
01:27:32.000Obviously, if it got really out of hand, they would tighten down.
01:27:35.000But I never saw a game where it was just like, you're pulling back on the range, you're letting them run, you're pulling back, you're letting them run.
01:27:40.000And it just made me feel like they were shaving points or something.
01:27:42.000I remember for years I said the game was fixed.
01:27:46.000And everybody said I was out of my fucking mind.
01:27:48.000And then they find a guy who's all mobbed up.
01:29:18.000This is what his attorney submitted, saying the manipulation that happened during one game.
01:29:23.000Okay, so I was officiating a playoff series between Team 5 and Team 6 in May of 2002. It was a sixth game of a seven-game series, and a Team 5 victory that night would have ended the series.
01:29:32.000However, Tim learned from Referee A that Referees A and F wanted to extend the series to seven games.
01:29:38.000Tim knew Referees A and F to be company men, in quotes.
01:29:42.000Always acting in the interest of the NBA, and that night it was in the NBA's interest to add another game.
01:29:51.000Referees A and F heavily favored Team 6. Personal fouls resulting in obviously injured players were ignored, even when they occurred in full view of the referees.
01:30:00.000Conversely, the referees called made-up fouls on Team 5. Look up the highlights of the Lakers' Kings game.
01:30:06.000It was ridiculous, the fouls that they were calling.
01:30:08.000But that's my thing, is when they said it was just one guy, it's like, how long could you be on an officiating crew while in...
01:30:15.000One of your guys is dirty before you'd realize, like, what the fuck is this guy doing?
01:30:58.000I think basketball, it's no more than 11 or 12 guys.
01:31:03.000So it's a very small group of people, and the income that they're generating, like their revenue share, I don't know, that's all like super sports nerd shit, like I don't know how that works, but some of the contracts that some of these guys have been signing, like they can afford to fucking pay that guy that?
01:31:19.000So now you're a ref, and you're running with your fucking black aerobic Reebok sneakers up and down the court.
01:31:39.000And I don't know what the pension is for the NBA, but if I was in the NBA, if I was running, I'd be like, we've got to fucking triple these guys' salary.
01:31:47.000Is this the salaries of the players or the referees?
01:32:35.000But it's this amount of time, like his contract came up at the time last year when the rest of the guys are going to get more this coming year and the following year.
01:32:43.000The TV contracts have gone up and there's a percentage they're going up each year based off of the TV rights and that's why it...
01:32:49.000I watched almost every Celtic game last year.
01:33:50.000You make $550,000 a year, you're making $50,000 a year more than the president.
01:33:54.000So you're kind of like, those guys are like set up to be like, here's a job that cost $100 million to get and you're going to get paid $500,000.
01:34:02.000So you're just setting them up to have to cut deals with people.
01:34:05.000What do you think is going to happen with Trump?
01:35:51.000You didn't have a conversation with him.
01:35:52.000I'm sure that was a brutal couple of years, but it was ten years ago.
01:35:56.000In ten years, he hasn't fucked up Other than this DUI. So, I mean, yeah, he fucked up, but, you know, I got busted for that shit in 89, so I'm going to judge him?
01:36:56.000Well, Tiger always had a very bizarre style, apparently.
01:36:59.000I don't play golf, but apparently people that I've talked to that explained to me the way he would hit the ball, I guess not the way they teach you to do it, but he could do it so well that way, but he would put ridiculous amounts of torque.
01:37:40.000And it just coincided with his personal life falling apart.
01:37:44.000So everybody goes, oh, that's the reason why...
01:37:47.000You know, somebody wins, that's the reason why somebody loses.
01:37:50.000Like, look, I'm not saying you don't go into a couple year funk if your life falls apart in the personal area, but it's just like, the rest of that shit...
01:37:58.000You know, that's just a bunch of hype.
01:38:01.000For him, it's like a double dump, though, you know?
01:38:03.000I mean, the thing happens personally with his personal life, and it happens publicly where everybody gets to see it, and then on top of that, his body's falling apart at the same time.
01:38:13.000If he went to church every fucking week, he was going to fuck up his back and his knees, and they did, but then they're trying to equate it to...
01:38:46.000You don't have to because you're a comedian and you're funny and your take on things can be have some compassion, look at it for what it is, make fun, poke at it.
01:38:54.000But when you're one of those fucking straight up...
01:38:57.000Sports commentator guys, you don't have a whole lot of wiggle room as far as what you could say and what you don't say.
01:39:02.000And you've got to go right down the middle and attack the principles.
01:41:09.000He would trip him, throw him to the ground, kick him in the face.
01:41:12.000Can you imagine the sound of his foot hitting the side of this guy's son's belly?
