00:00:08.000I'll tell you, when I first moved to Los Angeles, I was playing this basketball league with these kids from East L.A. It was like the only connection I had in L.A. with these couple of kids that I knew from Long Beach.
00:00:18.000And we would go play ball in this league, and then afterwards, we'd go to a bar and just get shit-faced.
00:00:23.000Like, just blacked out, out of our mind.
00:00:25.00022, like, every dime we had was going to booze and partying.
00:00:28.000So we were partying, and I'm wearing basketball shorts, like white people do when you play basketball.
00:00:33.000And all my Mexican friends, you know, they wear like whatever they had on the floor that morning.
00:00:37.000It was like jeans and, you know, there was never basketball shoes for them.
00:00:40.000And we're sitting there drinking and this dude, Pavo, his buddy of mine, he looks down at my legs and he goes, Dog, I gotta fucking ask you a question, player.
00:00:48.000Like, did you have fucking orange leg hairs, dog?
00:00:51.000I was like, dude, I've known you for years.
00:03:20.000They represent a much larger percentage, though.
00:03:22.000So the thing she's saying about women is there's so few women in prison already, and women are, like, a lot of their behavior is due to the fact they've been suppressed by men.
00:03:48.000Well, that's what I said, like, not to sound like I'm plugging my special, but in my special, I talk about, I was shot in Chicago, where I'm from, and at the time, there was a lot going on in Chicago, as there always is, a lot of cop shootings, and...
00:04:01.000I think there's an immediate uproar of like, fuck cops.
00:04:05.000And I hate that, because I have cops in my family.
00:04:07.000And you can't just blanket statement an entire thing.
00:04:10.000Just like you can't blanket an entire race of people, sex class of people, and say, you're all the same.
00:04:16.000That's the same thing as saying, like, every cop is a bad person.
00:04:27.000And honestly, if you look at it statistically, like the number of bad cops versus the number of cops, and then you have to break down the number of interactions cops have with people.
00:04:42.000They're awful to you, but imagine how awful they are if you are a professional enemy, and they know that you're just a person, just like them.
00:04:48.000So you're pulling this guy over, this guy's done a crime, you know he's gonna lie to you, and you're the enemy, and you don't even know this fucking guy.
00:05:38.000You don't think that they're terrified that they're going to be the next guy that's on some fucking YouTube clip that two comics are talking about on a podcast?
00:06:15.000Well, it's the same way with, you know, I know this has been said, but the way we treat veterans and shit, it's like, you know, I grew up with a kid who was a really close friend of mine that killed himself a couple years ago, was a veteran.
00:06:26.000And I think the expectation of the return to normalcy is not only ridiculous and an insane request, but it's just so illogical that that's not approached.
00:06:38.000It's like, dude, these people can't come back from any sort of combat and just be pushed back into the real world.
00:07:09.000There's so much lack of help for mental health, dude.
00:07:11.000You see it so constantly in so many different facets.
00:07:14.000Now I think it's coming out more because of the internet, because you see...
00:07:18.000You know violent crimes and and and you see where mental health has kind of led our country now There should be a bigger focus on it.
00:07:25.000I had a psychiatrist in the podcast yesterday Kelly Brogan who?
00:07:30.000She wrote a book called what is it called the mind of your own a mind of your own is never saw that We talked all about these psychiatric drugs, and when they prescribe them, and why they prescribe them, and what are the side effects, and how easily they prescribe them.
00:07:48.000And she's talking about how incredible it is.
00:07:50.000Her coming from a background of psychiatry, being an MD, going through the whole training thing, writing a book about it, and you realize, oh my god, they're just doping people up.
00:08:27.000Imagine if you're a guy right now working for a pharmaceutical company, and every day you read the news, you see some fucking mass killing, and you go, please don't let it be on our shit.
00:09:20.000So it caused a lot of chemical and mental reaction that they didn't anticipate for youthful, you know, kids under 18 with underdeveloped brains.
00:09:27.000You just have to sign a form to say, I can die from this medication.
00:10:24.000Kids who are the most insecure point of your life, you got shit all over your face, and you just want to fix it with a pill because you want to feel better about your life.
00:10:32.000You're already so vulnerable and ugly and weird, and they're willing to risk their life for it, but this company won't recognize that that was a thing.
00:10:40.000What what numbers of people died off of it?
00:10:43.000I mean there was at one point I remember when I was in high school There was like three kids it made national news because it was like three kids in a row committed suicide It was a consecutive like three young kids boom boom boom that committed suicide and of course You can't just attribute it to one thing.
00:10:57.000I'm not saying you can point a finger and say that's what it was But there's enough evidence surrounding things like that that made the company put more legal action behind Release forms for when you take the drug.
00:11:11.000Nowadays, I think there's different levels of it you can't give to people under 16 or a certain age because of the strength of the medication.
00:11:41.000I'm alone on this earth and I was I felt like I was the ugliest person to ever walk the planet because you felt so so this thing it fixed me so to speak it made me feel like everything was good again which is so gross but that's how like Shallow we are as kids because you're just like so vulnerable around your peers.
00:11:58.000You're like I just want to be I just want to be normal when you're like 16 years old if you have a horrible acne attack It fucks your head up fucks you up you feel so weak Yeah.
00:12:08.000He's like, you're so at the mercy of this.
00:12:10.000I mean, obviously, oh, poor white cisgendered man worried about zits.
00:13:22.000A Jersey man won $25 million verdict after he alleged that Roche, the acne drug, gave him inflammatory bowel disorder that required the removal of his colon.
00:13:54.000I worked at a hamburger place, a place called Newport Creamery when I was in high school, and I graduated from dishwasher to working at the grill.
00:16:25.000I mean, I cannot complain, because my buddy had it real bad.
00:16:30.000He was one of those guys that was like, his everything, his neck was covered in pockmarks, his face was covered in pockmarks, and the poor kid was like barely hanging on, right?
00:16:40.000He's like 15, 16 years old, you know, wasn't like genetically gifted to begin with, and all of a sudden he gets hit with this hailstorm on his face.
00:16:50.000I mean, his whole, all of his skin was just fucked, and there's nothing they can do about it once that happens.
00:16:55.000No, unless you want to lose your colon.
00:17:11.000I'm lucky that it worked because I had friends where it didn't work and it was like, oh God, that's just...
00:17:17.000So if you were my friend who just got hit with the hailstorm, like, you would think, like, maybe for that guy it'd be worth taking a chance at suicide.
00:20:35.000He's like, it's benign, you're fine, but the fact that someone on campus, like a campus doctor told you that, that's a real medical professional.
00:21:42.000I've had friends literally get propositioned.
00:21:45.000I've had a few friends get propositioned by some very famous people that are like, you come to so-and-so's house, no one will know, no one will say anything.
00:21:56.000But in the public eye, people think they're straight.
00:21:58.000That's such a leap, man, when you're a dude and you're straight and you're like, alright, how much money is that really?
00:22:13.000It doesn't make any sense that you can decide to fuck someone for free, and we all agree that nobody got hurt, but if for some reason there's something wrong with, like, someone paying you to jerk them off...
00:22:27.000Do you imagine if fucking Tiger Woods...
00:22:32.000If Tiger Woods could have had prostitutes, this would have never gotten exposed?
00:22:36.000Do you think if prostitution was legal and it was kind of not a faux pas thing in society, do you think he would have never had this moment of collapse in his career?
00:22:43.000I think it would change the way we look at sex if prostitution was legal.
00:22:48.000It's so illegal, and it's been illegal for so long, that if someone, male or female, has someone pay them for sex, you're a whore.
00:23:08.000Have you ever seen that Instagram post where there's these really hot like Instagram models and then it shows a picture in the next box of a bunch of guys that are like in their 60s with giant guts with gray hair on their guts.
00:23:21.000It's like those Instagram models in Dubai.
00:25:41.000Like if he could just pay her, like for J. Howard Marshall, a multi-billionaire type character, I bet a hundred grand is not out of the question.
00:26:50.000Now, as far as it's been explained to me, and I've never researched this at all, so I wonder if you could find this out.
00:26:56.000Someone said to me that when you look at the richest men in the world, like they look at Warren Buffet and Bill Gates and all those billionaire characters, that they're not really the richest men in the world.
00:27:07.000That the real richest men in the world are these Saudi guys and a lot of these oil guys, but they're monarchs and they don't have to disclose their wealth.
00:27:32.000And he goes, yeah, I didn't know there was trillionaires.
00:27:35.000He goes, it's very likely this guy might have access to a trillion dollars.
00:27:38.000Because the only thing that we know is our famous billionaires.
00:27:43.000We're infatuated with our billionaires that we kind of have as these...
00:27:46.000Social icons, you know, like the Zuckerbergs and these guys that are like they did something that we can recognize these Saudi families that have had that money have had that money for a fucking long time It's not new money.
00:27:57.000No, it's old They had they had hundreds of millions 50 years ago, right?
00:28:02.000So now it's only accumulated into billions of I mean they own well the what what the That guy that the Chinese billionaire that the What was his name?
00:31:30.000If you lose at shit, you start to understand how human you are when you're like, oh my god, there's so many people better than me at so many fucking things.
00:32:34.000Like if you go the same distance but you're driving on like the Pacific Coast Highway and you're headed up to San Francisco, it's fucking beautiful.
00:32:51.000And you just want to make sure the guy on the other side is not thinking, I'm just going to head on this guy, and we're both going to go off this cliff.
00:35:27.000I knew you would love this because I thought about you the first time I saw this and I was like, this is so fucking proof about surviving, dude.
00:37:04.000So, I was just fucked up enough that I was like, I have this idea, give me a fucking huge pan, the biggest pan from the kitchen, and pour sugar and water in it, heat up the sugar a little bit, and I put the pan up to it, I got on a ladder, put it up,
00:37:19.000it started getting in there to drink the sugar water, and I slowly took it down and walked it outside.
00:42:42.000I mean, it felt so fake when I was a kid.
00:42:44.000I remember thinking, I remember getting older and asking my dad if it happened.
00:42:47.000Because I thought, you know, in your childhood sometimes you're like, did I see that in a fucking thing and that wasn't real?
00:42:52.000You know, and you formulate these different stories in your brain as a kid because, you know, that line of what's real and fake when you're so young.
00:42:59.000But dude, I can't forget that happening.
00:44:13.000There's so many videos of that now, too.
00:44:15.000It's almost like if you have a camera and you're pointing it at the guy, you're kind of hexing him because he's saying, man, I hope I don't fuck this up because it's going to be on every internet site, everyone's Twitter account, Instagram page.
00:44:28.000It's like you're kind of like putting too much pressure on him.
00:45:04.000One guy in our town killed someone in a car.
00:45:07.000Dragged this guy around like he got the guy stuck under his car and he just kept driving fuck Did he not know he was under there or he was like fuck it.
00:45:16.000I'm going to prison They don't know they don't know if he was drunk.
00:45:19.000I don't I don't know I don't know when he got caught either But it was a story it was in the news and I remember it was in like I was delivering newspapers at the time so I saw it like in the newspapers that I was delivering it's so weird to have known someone and And then know that they ran over somebody in a car and then dragged them around.
00:45:36.000Yeah, I didn't know him well, but he was like one of those guys in the town.
00:45:39.000I think he was a little older than me, but he was one of those guys that was always kind of hanging out with a nice car.
00:46:11.000There's probably a lot of kids that we didn't know they were rich, and they were rich, but they weren't fucked up, so it didn't come through.
00:46:17.000But the ones that wanted everybody to know they were rich, they always had designer clothes on, and they always had the nicest shit, and they always had brand new cars.
00:46:25.000Like, when they were 17, this guy had a brand new car.
00:46:27.000It's almost like they're a little bit animatronic.
00:46:31.000Like, there's something robotic about really rich kids, where it's just kind of like super...
00:46:37.000Super high-functioning in a very, like, disconnected level because they're so unaware of what it's like to not have.
00:47:45.000I mean, obviously, I didn't know it was this kid I went to high school with, but he got away with it for a long fucking time.
00:47:48.000It was such a public story that a famous NASCAR driver at the time painted her name on his car, like, find so-and-so's killer, because it was such a fucking big deal.
00:48:03.000He was pilled the pilled the fuck up and he showed up to her sister's house and admitted the whole thing to her sister and was saying he was gonna like run away kill himself whatever and she cleverly she spoke Polish she told her husband to fucking call the cops and was trying to calm this kid down in the meanwhile telling him to call the cops and they finally caught this kid before he could fucking off himself or something but he killed this girl on a hit and run and thought he and got for what it's worth got away with it for a long time man Thank you.
00:49:21.000If they did make prostitution legal, they set it up just like you can go get a massage, you can go have sex with somebody, how much would that change the notion of marriage, relationships?
00:50:46.000So my mom had that kind of fuck up in her brain of like, that That's how much influence the church has over marriage and coupling and it's crazy.
00:56:20.000And she probably was talking with the wrong people and got the wrong idea in her head and went with it and had no one like you around to go, what the fuck are you talking about?
00:56:42.000It's one of those things where both parties, both extreme left and extreme right, are at such a heightened version of what's happening that people are becoming blind to, like, logic.
00:57:27.000Not only that, even if it's, like, the worst person in the world, cutting their head off and holding it up like that is fucking barbaric.
00:57:32.000We wouldn't even want that from Osama bin Laden.
00:57:35.000If we found the video of Osama bin Laden and one of the SEALs held him down and cut his head off and then held it up to the camera, we'd be fucking extremely, like, what are we doing?
00:58:51.000No one's going to be sympathetic towards your idea.
00:58:55.000And in fact, you're going to empower the people that are opposed to you.
00:58:58.000Because they're going to think, oh, these people are these crazy ideologues who want to literally promote the murder and torture of someone, cutting their head off.
00:59:10.000But it's just something that people do where they're trying to get attention, or they're trying to entertain, or they're trying to be shocking.
00:59:51.000It's as if the spotlight is on the actor at some point.
00:59:55.000But when it moves away, if the actor tried to move towards it, is when it becomes sad.
00:59:59.000When it's shifted out of your line of sight, when your work and your progress has Shifted as if your time perhaps may be coming to a close as far as it's worth.
01:00:08.000When you are continuing to search for it, there's nothing more desperate and more obvious.
01:00:12.000He's like, you can always see when someone's hunting for it again.
01:01:02.000And you get that way of thinking, and then you program yourself.
01:01:05.000You get locked into this predetermined pattern of behavior.
01:01:08.000Like, all right-wing people, like, a giant percentage of them, Have like an established series of opinions about certain things that we count on because they're the right, right?
01:01:20.000Like abortion, or even it used to be gay marriage was one of them.
01:01:24.000There's always a bunch of them that are just...
01:02:47.000We like to be a part of our little tribe.
01:02:49.000And when it gets infiltrated, you become vulnerable.
01:02:54.000You feel like the walls are weakening.
01:02:55.000It's almost like when the word gentrification...
01:02:58.000Gentrification really just means A tribes area has been compromised, you know, it's like this has been this for so long when white people or people of privilege or money move into anywhere They're trying to overtake that tribe.
01:03:16.000That's why people fucking Get so angry about neighborhoods turning over quote-unquote because they're like what can be ours?
01:03:23.000That's it's such a fucking delicate thing because you're like You can't stop that you're never gonna stop that Well, not only that, there's a game being played, and you're a part of it because you're paying rent.
01:03:39.000Now you have to decide what you're going to do with that time.
01:03:42.000And you might feel very stuck in this game that you're at right now, where you're paying this guy for rent, and you're working for that guy, and he's giving you a certain amount of money, and it all kind of evens out at the end, there's nothing left over.
01:04:09.000And, you know, I'm a 70-year-old guy with a fucking pocket protector filled with pens, and I've got a bunch of apartment buildings all over the place, and I flip those fuckers.
01:04:17.000There's a lot of those guys out there.
01:04:19.000Like, this gentrification thing, I know it's uncomfortable for people.
01:04:23.000They're like, we're losing the old neighborhood.
01:04:24.000Like, let's go back to the fucking teepees.
01:05:21.000I was just up in Seattle and these Costa Rican guys I started talking to at the Fremont Brewery were telling me about this great Caribbean food place up the street.
01:06:53.000It's definitely good for the neighborhood.
01:06:55.000The neighborhood's going to get these nice houses now, and people are going to move in.
01:06:59.000It's going to be more value if you did buy a place.
01:07:01.000If you did take the risk and bought a place, that place is going to be worth more money now.
01:07:05.000I know maybe you couldn't buy a place.
01:07:07.000It's hard to buy a place when I get paid.
01:07:09.000I get it, but you don't have to do that.
01:07:11.000I know you feel like you have to do that, and you can come up with a bunch of excuses, and everybody could argue all day long about white privilege, and you're lucky, and this and that, but the bottom line is, you're not in a cage, alright?
01:07:23.000If you're not in a cage, and you're out there doing something, you could figure out a way, maybe it's a month from now, maybe it's six months from now, to transition into something else, figure your way through the maze.
01:10:42.000It's essentially about if World War III broke out and we became like an ultimate police state and there was like a sub-government that took over and we went back to essentially biblical times when women who were fertile We're used for the rich as handmaids for making babies.
01:11:08.000I don't want to give you too many details, but then we're under a police state.
01:11:12.000So these handmaids, these fertile women who are of lower socioeconomic status, they must wear these things and abide by their masters, which are the wealthy one percenters of the world who own these fertile women because their wives are infertile.
01:11:23.000So they must repopulate this new community.
01:11:26.000Dude, it's fucking right up your alley.
01:11:33.000Meanwhile, that's a total possibility.
01:11:35.000Well, that's why dude's getting so much love.
01:11:36.000In fact, some of the parallels in the show of what's going on in society now and some of the commentary, because this was shot prior to the election, it's so specific.
01:11:44.000I mean, that's why people are falling in love with it, because they're like, this is creepily real.
01:11:56.000The fear of women's rights being removed...
01:11:59.000As far as things like Planned Parenthood or what have you, the choices of your own fucking body, I think there's so much echoed in this show that it feels creepily real.
01:12:10.000Where it's like, you could one day just go, like they do in one of the scenes, without giving anything away.
01:12:14.000It's like, all the women are fired today.
01:12:16.000Well, you know that Iran of today is nothing like Iran of the 1960s?
01:12:54.000And now, if you go there today, I mean, look, the Middle East is the shining example of what is possible in 2017 as far as suppression of women.
01:13:04.000Look at how low-cut her shirt is there.
01:14:27.000When you see the freedom of the world, that we're all born fucking naked and free to be these things.
01:14:32.000I don't know why there isn't a little bit more of a clique that goes, why do these women in other places have more freedom?
01:14:41.000Because the goal of any sort of religious fucking constriction is questioning, right?
01:14:46.000So if you question it, you're automatically fucked.
01:14:49.000But if you question it enough where you research and you look and you find out and you learn, I would assume you would become enchanted with the idea of being free, of just wanting to not have...
01:15:00.000Someone fucking tell you where you can walk, what you can do.
01:15:04.000That makes sense, but when you connect an ideology with God and with the idea of the divine, that's the ultimate reason to stick around.
01:15:29.000And when you have an ideology where you're trapped into dressing a certain way or wearing certain clothes or wearing a certain emblem or some sort of a symbol, you're trapped by the mind of a human being.
01:15:48.000And you're gonna wear these and maybe have one of those on your neck and maybe a certain amount of beads that symbolizes you're single or you're not.
01:25:16.000So if you want to hand build kit cars or you want to literally build a car from fucking scratch, most of their sales go to like mechanics, auto body shops, but they're also, they own the rights to fictional, how do I say this?
01:25:30.000They own the rights to fictional mechanics, fictional mechanisms that in our film world are real.
01:25:36.000Like the fucking Millennium Falcon, they own the rights to how to build a Millennium Falcon from scratch.
01:26:59.000Parts from other third-party car manufacturers, and they got whatever parts they could, put them together, you built that, and then the engine is what, from anywhere at all?
01:28:03.000Someone was saying that they were taking classic, Ford might have been doing this themselves, where they take classic Mustangs and put new Mustang engines in old classic Mustang bodies.
01:34:27.000I just gotta think about where my life is going.
01:34:30.000The best part about it is, to do this movie, or to do this fight, he had to go to old school methods and move to the fucking woods and he was carrying logs around and running in the snow.
01:36:02.000I did, like, the stand-up at a benefit for Tom Arnold for this thing, this charity he runs, and Sly was there because they've known each other for years, and as I got off stage, I walked past him, and I didn't want to, like, you know, I didn't want to be like, hey, and fucking call attention, but as I walked by, he goes, very, very good.
01:38:15.000That just became, in that era of Schwarzenegger, Sly, even, like, we were talking about Jean-Claude Van Damme before this, Seagal, like, all these, like...
01:38:23.000Willis, like all these mega international superstars because the action movies were so big.
01:38:52.000They have to have some sort of a metric they're judging this from, right?
01:38:55.000Like when they're making these movies, are they?
01:38:57.000I think it's because they made a couple of action hero movies.
01:38:59.000I mean, they made a couple of comic book films and they did so fucking well that now we have a bevy of them because they know that there's such a big market for it.
01:39:06.000But I can't imagine you wouldn't want to see another...
01:43:27.000Dude, I mean, we were paying homage to the world that we love and respect so much, and it was a big effort on Jim's part and his producing partner, Michael Aguilar, to tell real stories.
01:43:36.000A lot of the stories that people will see if you watch the show, and I hope you do, come from Jim's real life.
01:43:41.000Two dudes from Boston move, they live in a fucking dude's closet in West Hollywood, and they used to be a guy that would jerk off and watch Jim change, and Jim put that story in the show, man.
01:43:49.000He wanted all these little great tidbits.
01:43:51.000There's a great moment about joke stealing in there and a fucking huge fistfight that breaks out that was real from Jim's personal life about guys who used to come in from the fucking radio, from talk radio.
01:44:00.000In the morning, they'd come to the club at night, come to the store, steal shit.
01:44:03.000The next morning, comics would fucking hear it.
01:44:14.000And they would watch people do sets, and then they would wind up putting their bits in, like, even on fucking Seinfeld.
01:44:20.000One of Kevin James' signature bits got used on Seinfeld after he had a bunch of meetings, and then they came to see him perform.
01:44:27.000A bunch of, like, top writers came to see him perform at an NBC showcase.
01:44:31.000It was like when Kevin was getting a development deal, and they came down and watched him, and then the next season, his muffin bit was on a Seinfeld episode.
01:44:53.000I'm not calling out anybody or saying anything, but there was a character that ended up on the show that Vanessa Bayer did fucking hilariously that I did something similar in my audition.
01:45:00.000I was like, damn, that was really good.
01:46:00.000Even if you just don't hire them, but you like that character, there should be an established rate that you have to pay for things.
01:46:08.000And my whole thing is, I'm not saying what they did was what I did, but there was just some similarities in the nuances of the character that I thought were...
01:46:16.000Either just, you know, a confluence of great ideas, but it is hard.
01:46:50.000Like, I'm really lucky that I didn't grow up in a generation where you didn't get paid in the sense of like, I remember hearing stories of guys that would go on the road and then get fucked out of a check.
01:47:51.000Nick's Comedy Stop in Boston, it never happened to me, because I was never a Coke guy, but they would offer you, if you wanted to get paid, in money or Coke.
01:50:26.000Like Ari was talking about the other night, like if you go and watch his stuff after the second special, it's like, the second special's a big drop off.
01:50:35.000The real shit is his CD Or it wasn't even a CD. Warner Brothers wouldn't even make it a CD because it was so homophobic.
01:51:18.000And it was like during the Reagan era, where people started to get a little buttoned down.
01:51:22.000That was like we went from Carter to Reagan, right?
01:51:25.000So we go from this hippie peanut farmer from Georgia that couldn't get the hostages back from Iran to this movie star with a slick black hair and, oh, oh!
01:51:35.000It's just like, he was a part of that.
01:51:37.000I mean, there was a part of the whole country was fucking crazy at the time.
01:51:41.000And Kinison came along and he sort of embodied the frustrations that a lot of people felt.
01:51:59.000Well, because you become complacent and you also, like, I think the more money and fame you get, I think unless you have sense of groundedness and humility around you, like friends to be like, dude, you gotta fucking change your game.
01:52:28.000I don't know Cat Williams, but I'll tell you what, to this day, like Pimpin' Chronicles, Pimp Chronicles, whatever that special is that he did, that is a goddamn genius special.
01:53:15.000Yeah, and that was after he had gone through all those cancelled shows and all the craziness and got on stage and yelled at a heckler for five minutes and then left and everybody wanted their money back.
01:56:21.000They're still happily together and he merely filed for legal separation for May 9th because he believes it'll make it easier for him to get a license to distribute cig-a-weed marijuana cigarettes.
01:59:26.000One thing that does happen, apparently, is that sometimes people grow mushrooms, and oddly enough, the mushrooms have fungus that develops on them, and you can get sick from the fungus, and then sometimes people say they have these almost hangover-like feelings because of that.
02:00:13.000They say the thing about ecstasy, though, is if you take 5-HTP, you got to take that shit while you're on it because it helps rebuild your serotonin.
02:07:05.000Well, that was the only kind of, yeah, it was the only minority she could date on TV. Yeah, like if it was like, if she had a show called I Love Mexicans, and she was dating a Mexican guy, not a Cuban guy.
02:08:02.000That, like, that's such an iconic period of time when, like, comedy was pure and clean and the jokes were about life situations that were, you know, there's a town drunk and there's a town whore.
02:09:39.000Arbuckle was charged with manslaughter and endured not one, not two, but three trials for the alleged crime.
02:09:44.000Not going to go into the nitty-gritty of what went on in each trial, but try to imagine the mismanagement and publicity akin to the O.J. Simpson trial, and you'll be getting close.
02:09:53.000Well, then he should have got into it.
02:13:11.000And I hope they also have it available like it's easy to watch online.
02:13:15.000You know, where they make it with very few hurdles to be able to watch it online.
02:13:19.000Yeah, because you got to give it to people, man, at some point.
02:13:20.000Well, not only that, more people find out how good it is, more people watch it, you know, whether it's your show or whether it's your stand-up.
02:13:56.000I think it's breeding really good comedy.
02:13:58.000I think because there's so much great competition and there's so many fucking good people, I think it's breeding for people to be stronger and stronger.
02:14:03.000Sometimes I see fucking guys when I'm like, God damn, they're getting so strong.
02:14:07.000Well, it's like you see really good stuff around you.
02:14:09.000You show up one night, and Chappelle goes up, and then Chris Rock goes on after him.
02:14:13.000You're seeing this stuff on a regular basis, and the quality of the comedy that you see is very high.
02:15:17.000We do two shows in the main room all the time on the weekends.
02:15:19.000We do two shows in the OR all the time on the weekends.
02:15:22.000And sometimes, I've done four sets in a night there where I did two shows in the main room, one show in the belly room, and one show in the OR. That's fucking awesome.
02:15:46.000I think people don't know how lucky they are in LA. It's wild, man.
02:15:49.000People live in LA and they're like, yeah, how many guys are on tonight?
02:15:52.000It's like, well, they're all going to be fucking amazing, so stick around because everyone you're going to see is going to be a fucking good comic.
02:16:33.000Right now, because we're kind of waiting to hear what Showtime says, if we're going to do this again, then I have to fucking cancel a bunch of dates.
02:16:38.000But next week, I go to Austin, Cap City, then I go...
02:16:42.000Chicago, Denver, Just for Laughs in Montreal, Raleigh.
02:16:46.000So I'm touring a little bit here into the summer, but if we have to shoot again, I have to cancel a bunch of different dates.
02:16:59.000So if it does well on Sunday, they make a choice right then and there?
02:17:03.000It takes a little bit of manipulation time of them deciding what they want to do, but yeah, usually shortly after the first episode, they talk about what's going to happen.
02:17:47.000And he talked about how a lot of critics, I guess, got, you know, they got episodes a couple weeks ago, and he said, a lot of you guys have been saying the word dark.
02:18:10.000It's about what it's like to be fucking 23 and hungry and poor as fuck and trying to get pussy and trying to get stage time and trying to figure out what you're doing, who's beating you and...
02:19:35.000I mean, they've pulled out a few big names, man.
02:19:39.000Did you always want to act or did you want to do stand-up or did you want to do both?
02:19:42.000Oh, I... When I went to school, I went to school to write, to do journalism in English, and I knew I wanted to write and perform, but I was a pussy about performing in school.
02:19:50.000So I did a few plays because I really wanted to be on stage, but I didn't like the idea of plays.
02:19:54.000I just wanted to get on stage to, like, get my comfort level up.
02:20:00.000And one of the teachers pulled me aside one day and she was like, you know, you could actually be a good actor if you didn't just fuck around when you got on stage.
02:20:09.000And I was like, well, I really want to fuck around on stage.
02:20:12.000She's like, well, then why don't you go do that for a living?
02:20:36.000I'd drop him off at the casino, take his truck, because I didn't have a car or money, do fucking mics, go to the store and, you know, get intimidated, learn some lessons, and then fucking drive back home, pick him up, and we fell, you know, could get a burrito and do it all over again.
02:20:58.000We all knew those that came before us and those that we talked about, but it was like, I was right there when you had kind of left that world a little bit.
02:21:09.000But it's wild because it was like, I hated this store when I first started, dude.
02:22:15.000There's something powerful as shit that's...
02:22:17.000Sometimes I walk to the club because I live in the neighborhood and I like to walk instead of drive because it helps me get out of my brain.
02:22:23.000And every time I fucking walk up, you know, and I see my name up there, there's like a fucking overwhelming feeling.
02:22:29.000The moment I see it, it's like, this is...
02:22:32.000Soak it in a little bit, because it doesn't last forever.
02:22:35.000It's nice to have a place that's like that, too.
02:22:38.000To just have one place that stands out as something that means more than just a comedy club.
02:23:26.000I mean, I guess the only person that you could bring into that namesake may be Bud Friedman from the improv.
02:23:30.000Maybe, because he did Evening at the Improv and he had the monocle and everything like that, but I don't think, in the hardcore sense, it's even close.
02:25:21.000The problem with comics when it comes to those sort of situations is you see someone killing and for some reason you think that's taking away from your ability to be funny.
02:26:44.000It's on Showtime right now on the South by Southwest tour that I did.
02:26:48.000They do the fucking behind the scenes of South by Southwest and I did a bit at the showcase for South by Southwest and I put it up on there.
02:26:54.000Is it in your Showtime special though?
