00:08:28.620 years of eating bad pussy i actually it's on wikipedia let's do that one again i think that 0.98

00:08:57.720 respect for you because where we're very similar even though i'm the old bull is i had to do it 0.98

00:09:03.180 myself man i had to find my audience i had to figure out because this town didn't give a shit 0.80

00:09:07.520 what i was bringing to the table at that time they took a look at me and they were like no we already 0.98

00:09:12.180 have somebody who kind of moves around and and uh is you know vibrant and fucking you know and

00:09:18.240 they just dismissed me who was why why is that though well it's because at that point in my life 0.96

00:09:24.820 i didn't have the analytics which is asses and seats it used to be called now it's whatever 0.94

00:09:29.520 fucking you know clicks or follows or likes or but back then if you didn't have that data sheet 0.99

00:09:34.220 of asses and seats they didn't care didn't care what how good your audition was didn't care 0.99

00:09:38.760 if you were the right guy you weren't until you tricked the system into making the industry 0.99

00:09:45.300 believe you're the right guy industry wasn't willing to take the risk that on someone who

00:09:50.000 could maybe move the needle a week before i released my second album retaliation a week

00:09:55.300 before we couldn't get one publication to write about it spin rolling stone like anybody nobody 0.81

00:10:00.620 even like fucking harper's bazaar was not gonna take it when when that when that cd dropped and 0.83

00:10:09.260 i did that with the click of you know that tiktok 1.0 is myspace yeah and when i clicked send and i 0.92

00:10:15.520 hit a global fan base two weeks after that dropped it was jay-z and me on the top the actual billboard

00:10:22.040 top 100 wow everybody that passed called me even people that didn't care about the story suddenly

00:10:29.260 the allure was there so you got to kind of hack the system sometimes and and you know and and show

00:10:34.460 them what you have even though they're not willing to take a first look although although when those

00:10:38.860 outlets reach back out to you i'm sure it felt good and it was very uh beneficial for for your 0.99

00:10:44.900 career dude but but did you want to tell them to go fuck themselves a couple i did yeah but but in 0.82

00:10:50.440 a political way because you're still like well we may all meet you know and the other thing you 1.00

00:10:53.880 learn in this industry is like the person you tell go fuck yourself well when they're gone three 0.97

00:10:57.740 months later to a new new location that you might be interested in parlaying with yeah yeah and then 0.98

00:11:01.800 somebody else takes over their old job that you actually like now you've destroyed bridges that

00:11:05.960 are unnecessary so now you just play it like um you missed out pal yeah yeah yeah so so so betty 0.99

00:11:11.820 white 98 right 8 30 p.m saturday night nobody wants to watch that shit especially in boston 0.98

00:11:17.220 or wherever on the fucking east coast they're all at the pubs right right how do you get from there 0.99

00:11:21.540 to to uh vicious circle like what's what does that look like what was like the big what was 0.95

00:11:26.280 like the moment where you were like holy shit this this is working well it's probably when when

00:11:29.940 retaliation hit because i had a the first release was harmful if swallowed and that was kind of

00:11:34.640 like underground in college and it put me on the map but again the way the industry looked at it

00:11:40.520 was like um that fad of my space you just got lucky with the click of the and they didn't think

00:11:46.120 that was the the internet was actually the the highway that we were all first comedian to go

00:11:50.740 viral thank you for saying that i wanted to thank you no i'll just say you were a liner of the

00:11:56.160 internet weren't you so so the first one comes out and everybody's kind of like uh you know okay he's

00:12:01.160 uh he's the you know flavor of the month whatever and then when retaliation comes out i got a call

00:12:05.540 from loren michaels i was in vegas in a hotel room for the vegas comedy festival and loren michaels

00:12:10.080 calls me and he goes um he goes uh i heard about your album and i said yeah man i'm you know right

00:12:16.920 next to jay-z and then he just went you're hosting oh my god and he gave me my first hosting gig on

00:12:23.280 snl and uh after that it was just game changing everything changed after that doors were opening 0.97

00:12:28.420 left and right and you know it for a little while it's kind of silly because you're almost like all

00:12:33.240 right this is i'm not this good i'm good i'll get better but uh there was a period there where it's

00:12:39.280 Just like you just, hey, you know, while the getting's good, you got to take advantage of it.

00:12:43.260 I recently started stand up and when I was joining it, I like to kind of step back and look at the greats.

00:12:49.940 Yeah. You severely impacted the whole shift of comedy.

00:12:55.000 Like, I'm just talking to people that are great and they're looking at me and they're always bringing you up on how you came into the game and completely changed it from.

00:13:04.400 And this is their words, not mine.

00:13:05.660 to go back then there wasn't this really good looking young white kid that was coming in

00:13:09.800 getting people's attentions from different aspects you really wanted and you weren't scared trying to 0.99

00:13:15.660 do it in any other way first of all welcome to the fucking party because it's it's it's a wild 0.98

00:13:20.460 ride but if you love it then then stick with it but i will tell you it's like um i knew can be 0.98

00:13:28.400 permission to speak freely yeah absolutely okay here's the thing i was i knew i was ahead of the

00:13:33.920 the curve with the whole internet thing i i really was like everyone's fucking wrong and i'm right 0.52

00:13:40.040 and and i'm even telling people i wasn't even like keeping it to myself i would go to other 0.79

00:13:44.400 musicians and comics and be like do what i'm doing no way do this set up the page like this 0.98

00:13:50.220 offer this put your shit for free on napster and limewire and kazah and fucking give it away man 0.98

00:13:56.360 give it away so a lot of people uh not everybody wants to do that not everybody loves it i love it 0.99

00:14:03.380 i love tech i always liked creating and editing and fucking what font should helvetica fucking 0.89

00:14:09.020 bold you know it's like i love every fucking i make my own flyers dude it's like i was doing 0.98

00:14:15.460 every i was a fulfillment center i was my own fulfillment center i was packaging my shit 0.97

00:14:19.900 and sending it to people but in that moment i knew that generationally here's what happened 0.86

00:14:26.560 the 80s was a boom all our favorites that we know today have like the biggest of the rob

00:14:30.860 Williams and everybody else came the 90s comedy central um although offering a bit of a turnstile

00:14:39.400 then oversaturated the market with a lot of people that were not ready to to be out there in a major

00:14:45.660 way so it gets oversaturated and it kills the comedy album and it kills really live comedy

00:14:50.860 because everybody from the 80s boom was like oh who's next and nobody was next there was nobody 0.96

00:14:56.880 generationally where i knew i was like years of grinding and doing colleges and doing fucking 0.67

00:15:01.340 every college so right around that 99 2000 when i had that first album selling it out of my trunk 0.77

00:15:06.620 i was like i'm winning yeah yeah i was like i'm winning you're doing it again with your new

00:15:11.160 with your new special i don't know if we're allowed to talk about it but i've heard i want

00:15:14.800 to talk about it here first because i honestly i was like you know what this seems like the play

00:15:18.120 i haven't told anybody the title the director i've kept it all under wraps and i was like this

00:15:22.600 seems like a good synergy because you guys are doing what i did and what we do which is like you 0.90

00:15:32.740 know i'm i'm impulsive let's go us too use that for the fucking promo bro clip it 0.99

00:15:40.400 i just fucked my own ears up so i don't know what i did you guys but i just want to apologize for 0.97

00:15:48.160 yeah we're doing it again so wait are you gonna say the things that you just mentioned or no yeah 0.88

00:15:52.900 whatever i mean listen i i i self-financed my special i did not want to go through a stream or

00:15:58.540 an outlet first i want to have it all done finished all the way to the credit roll i got

00:16:04.140 marty colner to direct it he directed vicious circle my first big arena show and it's been

00:16:08.320 40 000 people it's been a long time since you dropped yours this is a big thing you're doing

00:16:12.060 this is it's been 12 years no five years ago i did one called troublemaker that i directed

00:16:17.020 that i that i purposely wanted i always wanted like kind of a bootleg underground type of album

00:16:24.840 so i put one out there that i never even distributed beyond we did like a showtime

00:16:30.300 thing and comedy central and then i took it and i was like i'm not gonna put this out on dvd or 0.83

00:16:36.360 anything i'm just gonna fucking keep it and people ask and go where is it and i'm like i got it if 0.61

00:16:41.580 you didn't see it you didn't see it and that kind of builds up a cool allure yeah but once this new 0.90

00:16:46.440 comes out um then i'm going to start putting some catalog shit out that i i didn't release before

00:16:51.540 but i want this to be like the replanting of what i think is going to be the comedy the comedy flag 0.81

00:16:56.860 is being replanted with this special because aesthetically nothing looks like this i'm sick 0.95

00:17:02.820 of comedy specials that don't look unique they don't have a great theme they look fucking dull 0.67

00:17:08.480 they look cheap and it cheapens the performer and i have friends that have specials out there right 0.61

00:17:13.160 now i'm like why don't why just be patient man you got the fans make it great yeah don't let 0.97

00:17:19.420 these fucking people come in and and set you up to be okay you know what i mean so we shot something 0.97

00:17:25.580 that i think is i'll show you a piece of it after we're done i got it on my phone if you want to see 1.00

00:17:29.180 a little piece man i'd love to see what's the what's the distribution uh angle for it well

00:17:33.440 right now what i'm gonna do is we're meeting with buyers streamers and all that but i love what

00:17:38.040 andrew schultz i don't know like if you saw the news today dude he just did it himself yeah he

00:17:42.040 made more i think than what he would have probably had his fans are happier with the way he's doing

00:17:47.620 all the numbers i've been so curious to see how his uh self-release would go i saw the thing today

00:17:52.540 and it said he made like his million dollars or whatever back that he like within a week he bought

00:17:57.140 it back from amazon well yeah from amazon yeah that's why i was asking about distribution because

00:18:02.340 how much of of you know his release and then also like the stuff that chappelle's doing nowadays is

00:18:07.760 like coming back to a spot to censorship right so like there was a whole story about how schultz

00:18:11.940 didn't want to release it through a big streamer because they wanted to cut a bunch of shit out 0.95

00:18:16.200 about abortion smart yeah he is one of the comedians that are beyond like he knows the 0.98

00:18:21.460 future it's like it's like here's the line here's schultz and then like here's like tim dylan 0.91

00:18:25.280 somewhere like way beyond censorship tim dylan just doesn't give a fuck but if schultz had put 0.61

00:18:32.040 out something that was uh lesser than whatever his fans are clamoring for they all would have 0.54

00:18:36.980 watch it and be like what yeah yeah it's almost and so i think he's absolutely done this the right

00:18:42.940 way because now his his fans that are already there are going to love it and now he's getting

00:18:47.000 press beyond it so he'll probably find new fans and i just think it's great i think that when you

00:18:51.620 can do it yourself when you can own your ip kids that's intellectual property yeah own it yeah 0.96

00:18:57.220 okay because when you give it to somebody else who's a passionless fucking pencil pusher who 0.96

00:19:01.960 just is trying to figure out what maybe their boss or boss is like or don't like you're in some deep 0.95

00:19:07.160 doo-doo yeah so do it yourself and then once you have it landed then hopefully they'll come a call

00:19:11.320 in and want to lease it or whatever else we had logic on yesterday and um he he retired i think

00:19:16.840 it was uh three years ago and then came out of retirement he he's uh just dropped an album and

00:19:23.080 i asked him um if he was nervous for his return right when you take that much time off you know

00:19:27.480 you you you i want to say loose touch but how do you how do you know how does he know that his

00:19:32.500 stuff is still good i mean it's logic he's fucking good right right you didn't cook he's still good 0.58

00:19:36.600 but are you nervous for the return um i don't want to say i'm i'm nervous i think i always get a

00:19:43.700 little bit trepidatious anytime i because i like turning corners and i don't want to be derivative

00:19:47.900 so i know everything i've ever done is like okay i know some people are going to tap out and i know

00:19:52.760 some new people if they take a minute i'm gonna get them so i like the and that's what i'm a fan

00:19:58.960 like that i'm a fan that watches somebody growing up i loved aerosmith then they did some stuff that

00:20:03.340 i was like i'm gonna tap out and then but then they came back with something else and i was like

00:20:07.360 that's fandom i have to accept that that's fandom you can i had fans that saw me in college grew

00:20:14.060 apart from me and now they're at their show with my kid that watched employee of the month so now

00:20:18.140 generationally i got a couple people that are like hey man i like that you're i'm growing up

00:20:22.800 with a generation of comedy fans i have i'm 50 now i've grown up from when i started at 19 with

00:20:28.360 my generation of comedy fans and they brought their kids so now i've got that generation of

00:20:32.120 comedy fans so i'm not nervous but but i'm excited i'm like i'm you know i'm anxious yeah you know

00:20:39.160 i'm ready to go man yeah i wanted to ask about good luck chuck uh employee of the month you got

00:20:44.880 to star across from some of the most beautiful sought after women on the planet and that was

00:20:49.540 kind of in tandem with this you know uh ever exploding comedy career did you have a a preference

00:20:56.300 of the two being on the on the you know silver screen or being in front of a crowd because you

00:21:01.300 were selling out stadiums at the time dude i i couldn't even believe i was i was like i got a big 0.97

00:21:05.320 irish fucking head you know hit a childhood acne i'm like i'm fucking ruggedly handsome maybe on a 0.99

00:21:11.280 fucking good day but i wake up i look like a fucking sharpay you know what i mean i like 1.00

00:21:15.020 i'm one of those people i wake up and i like you know my face is like no i need like 15 more minutes 0.98

00:21:19.280 ice everything and it's so funny because my girlfriend does that every morning

00:21:24.840 did she roll her face no she doesn't worry she goes george you wouldn't even believe it i saw

00:21:29.600 it on tiktok and then she dunks her face in ice water for 10 minutes i go first of all breathe 0.96

00:21:34.460 you're gonna die and she comes like no i'm and you know what we did it and it was fucking amazing

00:21:40.420 in your free time i'm just curious when that happened i'm just curious when you guys 1.00

00:21:43.960 snatched the shit go ahead and tell me when you guys dumped your faces in ice water together 0.99

00:21:47.640 yeah yeah we've been hanging bro we've been hanging bro 1.00

00:21:51.720 all right you ever try that day the face in the ice water oh dude anything when you're doing a

00:21:58.780 movie and at like five or six a.m they're like make up and get ready to go you're like dude i'll 0.94

00:22:02.880 fucking i'll do i'll do voodoo like whatever i gotta do to not look fucked up on screen yeah i'll 0.86

00:22:07.220 do that yeah yeah but when when when all that happened it was like it was cool because it was 0.99

00:22:13.080 from stand-up it wasn't like i was plugged in and i was like oh i'm fucking johnny bravo and i'm not

00:22:18.760 like i was i was being invited to the the inner circle by like people that were either directors 0.70

00:22:25.420 that were fans or writers that were fans producers and i got to really experience uh an echelon of

00:22:31.580 this industry that i i deserved it i fucking earned it and even though i made mistakes and 0.64

00:22:36.560 i definitely you know made some weird decisions it was like no this is the result of hard work 0.77

00:22:41.580 my own hard work just to reiterate what he was saying though because you know we come from

00:22:46.640 digital and traditional is vastly different there's a lot of hurry up and wait there's a lot

00:22:50.260 of pretentiousness that we just don't like did you have a preference doing everything your own

00:22:55.040 stand up yeah yeah but nothing better so then why did you do traditional hollywood well because it

00:23:00.400 was obviously it was fun it was it was it was um stand-up is such a lonely road you know what i

00:23:07.160 mean it's like it's you're isolated it's you and then a group of people and then they disperse and

00:23:12.460 the idea of being like a piece of a puzzle for someone else's vision is really alluring to me

00:23:17.780 that's why i like today it's like i i like being able to do things that are outside of the box of

00:23:22.220 stand-up i like to be behind the camera and tell different kinds of stories my whole thing is i

00:23:26.980 never wanted to grow and stand up as like the same kind of performance performer i wanted to

00:23:33.480 grow up and emulate my heroes that allow themselves to be like like this new special like i'm self 0.91

00:23:38.120 deprecating i'm taking the piss out of myself i'm i'm talking about some fucked up things that i did

00:23:43.200 in my life and and doing it in a funny way because i want to be able to to continue to grow and evolve 0.65

00:23:50.120 my my fans you know in in my comedy so it's well it's funny that you brought up um comedy being

00:23:56.220 like a lonely road because i've always looked at um similarly to how you talk about boxers when

00:24:01.680 they walk in a room when they're the one of the best boxers in the world everybody's like yo that's

00:24:04.920 so-and-so right and it's like this elevated state i look at comedy and like the top comedians 0.95

00:24:09.780 at the at that time the same way right like people are like yo there's fucking chapelle like they're 0.69

00:24:14.980 always like elevated at the parties are always like that in that like um like siloed space of 0.82

00:24:22.540 just like being like the hero of the room did you ever struggle with like ego as a result of that 0.76

00:24:27.740 where you just were like yo i'm doing this by myself i'm the fucking man and when you did that 0.65

00:24:32.400 ever like get to that that ego yeah but my mine was really uh i'm not gonna get in the weeds about 0.91

00:24:38.240 like the psychology of it i was a i was a kid with a lot of self-loathing i was a kid who was not a

00:24:43.080 class clown i felt very isolated i was a lonely kid who wanted acceptance so what happened to me

00:24:50.480 was when i finally broke through and i had everybody trying to hit me up and you know you

00:24:55.800 know hang with me it was almost like i protected myself because i was like wait where where were

00:25:00.620 you for the earlier part of my life and it and i could kind of sense that it was a little bit of

00:25:05.760 like a facade um but it's also in this in this industry if you don't protect yourself and you

00:25:11.600 don't and you don't um sometimes in a real terse no bullshit way tell somebody no then they're

00:25:19.100 going to take advantage of you for their own pocket okay so they can plug you into their thing

00:25:23.780 and they don't really care if your fans are completely satisfied with that but they'll care

00:25:28.940 when they're paying their mortgage and and they get what they need from you and so that's where

00:25:33.280 my ego came from i was like i'm not just because i'm here now doesn't mean like everybody gets to

00:25:37.320 you know take a piece and so from that people will say well you're you're not easy to deal with or 0.95

00:25:42.280 you can be an asshole and it's like well if i did what you want and what everybody wanted me to do 0.99

00:25:46.220 what the fuck would i be at all i would probably not be invited to anything at this point i'd be 1.00

00:25:50.560 ass out you know well we you're talking about handouts and and people taking advantage and 0.99

00:25:56.020 unfortunately you have one of probably the most documented oh no cases of i didn't bring it up

00:26:01.720 he did bro someone take he did oh no well you know we don't have to talk about it but no we

00:26:06.660 know we could talk about it's just a tough situation when the one person or or group of

00:26:11.480 people that you would expect not to take advantage of you do so right and so what we're talking about

00:26:16.340 for the thank you at home i put my brother in prison because my brother worked uh with me at

00:26:22.640 my company uh and he was uh he was nefarious he was taking and so um i did what anybody should do

00:26:30.300 when someone steals from you which is you put him in jail is he still in jail no no he served all

00:26:35.020 his time and now i don't know i don't even know where he is just he stole 12 million dollars from

00:26:39.220 you uh on the low end it's a lot of money there's there's actually in i hope there's not sense

00:26:45.720 there's you found some no i'm gonna take a guess i was hoping he was gonna bring a

00:26:50.300 we get a surprise for you man here it is we brought your brother what the

00:26:58.800 there's uh there was like an inside like joke they're like dude he's so rich he did not know 0.99

00:27:06.840 that 12 million dollars was missing i was like how the fuck are you that loaded yeah how did you not 0.96

00:27:12.120 notice he's fucking loaded bro i was i honestly it's kind of it's kind of true because i was still 0.99

00:27:18.620 living a certain lifestyle it's kind of true i'm rich i didn't really i wasn't really i wasn't 0.99

00:27:24.400 looking and also to put it with a little bit of a fucking score under it like guys i fuck i'm a 0.97

00:27:30.180 welfare kid out of boston massachusetts food stamps uh free lunch tickets the fact that i was making 0.98

00:27:36.500 any kind of living let alone where i had you know gotten to it was like i didn't care yeah i've never 0.86

00:27:43.300 cared about the fucking money so much i put everything i put it into this special i put 0.88

00:27:48.300 everything back into work and yeah i'd like take a little piece off and i'll get myself a nice 0.99

00:27:53.360 fucking jeep or something but the reality is i wasn't looking because i just i have love of the 0.75

00:27:57.880 game man i had to learn to be a businessman obviously from that and nobody has power of 0.98

00:28:02.480 attorney another thing you kids want to look into but the reality is it it was a it was it

00:28:07.880 it was the worst betrayal i'll ever experience in my life and it was gut-wrenching and i'd never

00:28:14.200 been sadder in my entire life but from that and where i took my life and industry if i could go

00:28:21.960 back i would not change a single thing because it made me who i am today i love that yeah are you

00:28:27.600 close with him now or never spoke to him after that no spoke to him from my whole life leading

00:28:32.620 up to the day he went on the run and then the day he went was you know gone my brother was gone

00:28:39.700 oh my god older or younger older i saw him in court i actually had to go into court and i had

00:28:44.400 to read what's known as a victim impact letter once they had him and so i walked into the i 0.97

00:29:14.980 fucking i walked in there i walked in there like uh like a person that knew and what i told him 0.92

00:29:22.120 when i read the letter i've never told anybody this before but what i said in the letter was 0.99

00:29:26.080 you you can steal anything you want from me and you and you did but the thing that you really want

00:29:32.960 that you'll never have is what's in here uh i said you could never take that you're like i looked at 0.99

00:29:38.480 him dude when you want to talk about looking into the eyes of a fucking shark like if a shark was 0.96

00:29:43.100 just sitting in court with you that's what it was like i didn't he what my brother wasn't there 1.00

00:29:47.620 whoever he really is was like it was fucking it was maniacal man it was weird wow yeah would you 0.97

00:29:55.080 ever consider based on any type of reform moving back in with him and sharing would you guys 0.99

00:30:00.380 the fact that you said fucking low mass like someone says they're from low mass 0.95

00:30:10.700 is why i like you mike from fucking low mass shout out dude i'm from low mass you want to 0.99

00:30:18.820 fight me on a fucking burning couch let's go uh what was your what i do you want to go to cape 0.99

00:30:26.780 cod with them that's what i'm asking do you want to go to brewster i'll tell you uh again i'm 0.99

00:30:31.700 breaking a lot of info here you're gonna get a lot of you know moments that nobody's heard me

00:30:35.620 talk about i just got financing on a documentary i'm doing a documentary about it i'm gonna tell

00:30:39.980 so if he wants to at some point sit and we can sit for the first time really ever like it would

00:30:45.360 be the first time i'm really meeting him then maybe we can sit down for this doc but we start

00:30:50.400 filming this uh at the end of the summer and it's going to be the funniest tragedy that you've ever

00:30:55.120 seen that's fucking awesome i love that i love that reconciliation i hope that he does it yeah

00:31:01.120 and i know the conversation is going to be hard but i will say as someone who does put a lot of 0.62

00:31:06.460 life uh forward facing for people to see it is incredibly therapeutic and can be incredibly

00:31:13.540 healing and it is it is a chance to acknowledge your wrongs and start fresh right and it's going

00:31:19.560 to be hard for him too i'm sure he's incredibly embarrassed i'm sure yeah i'm sure he feels

00:31:24.320 horrible but like you're going to live out the rest of your life like that or for once in all

00:31:29.040 final take accountability right and then do make something great out of it make it make a great

00:31:33.060 piece of media that would be i would love that man but you putting that out like honestly if that

00:31:36.820 could happen to me that would be because it's a it's also a fascinating conversation and it speaks

00:31:41.440 to there was a lot of growing i needed to do in my life whatever i can't speak for him but like

00:31:46.000 the reality is if if you're ever judged by one moment in your life nobody would want that nobody

00:31:51.460 wants that tag on them yeah we all would be everybody we all want the opportunity but when

00:31:56.360 you're in the whatever the public eye or whatever people want to like put the moniker on you know

00:32:01.060 your fuck up sometimes is something that speaks to someone's own failure and they'll project that 0.85

00:32:08.500 on you for the rest of your life determined by how they feel about themselves is really why people do 0.97

00:32:13.800 that in last show i think about this stuff a lot too because there's a lot of people that have like

00:32:19.460 people watching the show every most families have like inner family beefs oh he did something to me

00:32:26.100 15 years ago he you know like he was who ate my ice cream where's my 15 million dollars 0.98

00:32:31.260 you know just run-of-the-mill Tuesday night shit but it just always 0.98

00:32:39.140 it always just makes me wonder though like is there anything that's beyond 0.96

00:32:43.620 because dude you only get one family right and it's like it's like I don't know if I if I

00:32:47.800 subscribe to that you got two families yeah you have your listening you have you have the family

00:32:52.640 of people that you know i have people that i've met in my life right or that are that are like

00:32:56.440 road dogs and people that are like feel like they're they're in my bloodline you know what

00:33:01.840 i mean what's that saying again it's like family is thicker than no that's that's the main one but

00:33:06.460 then there's one that's like family is like who you make not who you're home is where you make it

00:33:11.120 yeah that's it there's sweet home alabama i'm sorry about that i think it was all that it was

00:33:15.680 impulsive i don't know i followed it uh you you broke records for doing stand-up you've done

00:33:20.360 seven hours straight list all of them okay every city seven hours wait a second no that's not a 0.90

00:34:11.120 your bullshit i kind of like you i'll get behind it i'll support just not saturday at 8 30 1.00

00:34:16.400 any other you just not you motherfucker with the callback with the call wow that's great 1.00

00:34:25.920 but but the reality is standing there at fucking whatever madison boston garden snl and and and 1.00

00:34:32.320 remembering and you need to remember this too and it's something that you know logan's done in his 0.79

00:34:36.660 life i can't speak from mike i didn't read the wikipedia but you read his book but the the real

00:34:42.340 reality is there's one thing alluring in the world one and that's the truth even if it's the

00:34:47.000 wrong truth even if it's a truth that you don't even if it's the opposite of your truth but if

00:34:50.840 you're speaking your truth and you're coming from your place your personal constitution it's alluring 0.71

00:34:57.340 and people can't fucking not watch it's the secret sauce to anything that you put up but if you're 0.98

00:35:03.260 false if you put up a facade or you're kind of phony or you're trying to fucking win the majority 0.98

00:35:08.380 you're done dude that's so crazy it's the beginning of your end i love that i was uh 0.97

00:35:12.600 i'm getting mentored by joe coy okay and i got very funny very funny guy and i'm blessed to

00:35:18.240 be able to do this uh i go out and i do my thing and he makes me bring it back to him we sit on 0.66

00:35:23.540 his couch he'll watch it and dead ass he'll pause it he goes that story you just told me was false 1.00

00:35:27.920 he goes it's trash stop making up stuff he goes tell your truth and i was like how the fuck did 1.00

00:35:33.660 you know he goes not only will i know but the world will know right never ever lie it's true 1.00

00:35:38.600 he goes stretch out the truth make it funny he goes but don't bullshit it yeah embellish you know

00:35:42.740 add comedic effect and all the things that you can do to stitch together that that you know it's

00:35:46.840 also a it's a occupation you curate ideas and you have to sell it every night so yeah there's

00:35:51.640 showmanship but if the core of it this patrice o'neill taught me this i started with patrice

00:35:55.800 o'neill who passed away a number of years ago but he was the guy that was like just be the truth man

00:36:00.380 Because when you're up there and you're coming from your heart, even if somebody's like, I don't like this, they will listen.

00:36:08.080 They can't not.

00:36:10.480 People, you know, they might tap out.

00:36:12.520 They might eventually be like, all right, this isn't for me.

00:36:15.600 But more often than not, you're going to connect because emotions connect more than the funniest bit in the world with emotion at the core of it.

00:36:22.640 That's where you're going to win.

00:36:24.100 That's what makes them clap.

00:36:25.500 A laugh is one thing.

00:36:26.520 When they're really clapping, it's because they're saying, like, I am with you on this.

00:36:30.380 I agree.

00:36:31.480 Either vicariously living through you because they don't get it and that's not how they live. 1.00

00:36:36.020 Or this motherfucker read my diary. 1.00

00:36:38.840 This is it. 1.00

00:36:39.880 That's exactly me.

00:36:42.000 Even if it isn't exactly you.

00:36:43.660 So all those things, man.

00:36:44.740 He's, you know, Joe Coy is obviously a success for those reasons.

00:36:47.820 That's amazing that you know that, dude.

00:36:49.940 Thanks for that.

00:36:50.880 Thanks, dude.

00:36:51.840 Speaking of the last fact.

00:36:52.580 Let's take your head to some.

00:36:53.460 I want to say this really quick.

00:36:54.680 The fact that, as a comedian, you know about the importance of, like, relatability and passion as it pertains to, like, that type of way of speaking is amazing.

00:37:05.060 Because there's a lot of, dude, like, we sit on this podcast, I do thousands of hours of podcasts, we make thousands of jokes, everybody laughs.

00:37:12.540 And I hate to say this, but laughs are forgotten.

00:37:15.480 But if you're able to make someone feel something deep in their, my most viral clip ever that I've ever made was me speaking about a drug addiction.

00:37:23.400 because i was a heroin addict for eight years that clip has been shared more than anything i'll ever

00:37:27.640 do in my life and so the fact that you understand the importance of emotional connection and and 0.81

00:37:34.060 and probably can then tie that into your comedy is why you're fucking legend uh man i appreciate 0.70

00:37:39.060 that dude and the fact that you you could share something that's you know i've never experienced 0.82

00:37:43.760 the the gut-wrenching real-time experience that you had is a testament to who you are but it's

00:37:49.980 also like in our in our time on this planet man people just want to find things that they can

00:37:55.660 embolden their own ideas with it really is all about projection and somebody sees that and goes

00:38:00.300 oh maybe i can be healthier and then hang with fucking cool people and dean cook

00:38:05.420 but but it's also like when you when i think about um like uh the the moments in my life where 0.92

00:38:15.740 I was like, I got to be around other people

00:38:18.060 that I grew up loving and wanting to emulate

00:38:20.380 and get a little time with them and break bread

00:38:23.380 and finally get to ask those questions like,

00:38:25.140 man, how did you maintain, what was your,

00:38:29.180 you try to find those nuggets of like,

00:38:32.360 and every single person I've had that opportunity with

00:38:36.500 has always said, man, it was at the worst moment

00:38:39.300 of my life when I finally realized,

00:38:41.980 and then they start giving me the building blocks 0.74

00:38:43.540 you're like i never knew you fucking struggled like that or had fear and so with this new special 0.93

00:40:59.900 No no no no no no no no

00:41:01.120 and i literally make you laugh so hard you dropped the mic this happened this is a moment so i was

00:41:07.420 i was talking to your girl when you left and trying to find out like size you up or like figure

00:41:11.340 out like what's up with this guy and yeah you look you said i looked like somebody who sells

00:41:14.780 a cologne at a mall that's true yeah you do you do look like a kiosk and then i dished something

00:41:21.100 back and then i made you laugh made you drop the mic and then you actually made me stand up and

00:41:24.980 everybody clapped so it was like a really cool moment that i always remember thanks for forgetting 0.87

00:41:28.260 it it's fucked up i thought you're gonna be like oh my god that was you i guess i'm forgettable 0.90

00:41:33.160 i thought you're gonna be like i go to bed every night thinking about that guy 0.99

00:41:36.380 every time i'm at the mall i hope he tries to sell that was that was like one of my that but

00:41:42.580 that was one of my one of my things in my schtick when i used to come out here is like if somebody

00:41:46.320 was in the front and one person left i would try to break them up like i wanted you to come back

00:41:50.280 by the time you sat down i would try to inject something that would make this person think

00:41:53.920 differently of you i had like i was like all right i get two it's like a game show i got two

00:41:58.240 minutes to figure out why they shouldn't be together um but luckily it didn't go that way

00:42:02.440 for you or maybe it did wait we're not together anymore okay cut this part this part this is 1.00

00:42:06.480 where we're lingering if she became a porn star you really gives a fuck all right got it yeah 0.99

00:42:12.080 you talked about looking uh to people that you looked up to for gems and wisdom who were your 0.99

00:42:18.400 inspos who are your big inspos oh man i mean there was there's a lot of people in in stand-up

00:42:24.200 obviously but um i think that um like in real life i had a great mentor frank roberts he kind

00:42:30.520 of taught me everything about uh how to just approach anything creatively um but in in terms

00:42:37.300 of stand-up i loved carlin and so i watched uh i was 11 years old when i saw um carlin's

00:42:45.880 On Location, it was called On Location, 1978 it was filmed,

00:42:49.140 and I got a hold of it.

00:42:49.940 It was probably on HBO.

00:42:50.960 I was not supposed to be watching it.

00:42:51.540 That's what I was going to say.

00:42:52.500 You shouldn't have been watching George Carlin at 11 years old.

00:42:55.340 But check this out.

00:42:56.060 This is like, again, when you talk about serendipitous

00:42:59.280 and putting your whole belief in willing,

00:43:01.620 some people call it manifesting,

00:43:03.060 but I just really think it's like the willpower.

00:43:05.180 You want to put on size, get to the gym, put in the work,

00:43:09.860 put in the 10,000 hours.

00:43:11.340 I watched that special.

00:43:12.800 I see the name Marty Kulner.

00:43:13.920 cut to many years later i start playing in the round marty colner had directed carl in 78 it

00:43:19.040 was in the round at arizona celebrity center in the round like a thousand people so i was like i

00:43:24.320 love the round i think it's a great place to to entertain because something i learned from my

00:43:29.680 mentor frank roberts when i would do theater do plays he he would say to me um you want to turn

00:43:35.780 your back to the audience here and then take your hat off and i would say why would i want to turn

00:43:40.100 my back to the audience and he was like this old school real dramatic drama teacher he went

00:43:44.440 because there's nothing more powerful than the reveal and i was like wow so i'm like in the

00:43:51.240 round you're constantly you know revealing yourself right and so i start doing in the round

00:43:55.700 cut to hbo 2005 they give me my first hbo special they say where do you want to do it i say i want

00:44:03.020 to do it in arena i want to do it in like 20 000 people and i want marty colner who directed carlin

00:44:08.000 in 78 in the round to come back i met with marty he hit it off he was like i'll direct it and i've

00:44:14.180 been working with him ever since i remember that special and i remember thinking myself how the

00:44:19.460 fuck does he decide like where he's gonna like face like it just brings a whole different dynamic

00:44:25.900 of comedy to have a 360 degree like decision making process always going on well it's like 0.99

00:44:33.200 and also i'm in boston and i'm at the boston garden you can remember i was doing hell gigs 0.61

00:44:36.820 for 10 years in front of fucking nobody i was doing gigs in and around boston in in the 90s 0.84

00:48:07.440 that fucking earthquake of a moment was this thing with my brother so it was the the pipe dream 0.97

00:48:13.580 height of my career coupled with the abyss of fucking tragedy and fear happening at the same 0.98

00:48:20.440 time fascinating yeah i mean it's gonna be i hope i hope it's good that's so cool did it take away 0.59

00:48:25.720 from it what did i take away from it no no did it take away from it like oh for i thought at the

00:48:32.300 time i was like oh man i kind of had like a wise me i felt bad like why is me why is this happening

00:48:36.740 to me but when i finally got back on my feet i was like i'm kind of glad that happened because

00:48:41.020 that actually just fucking kicked me out of like the haze of thinking i'm too important or whatever

00:48:48.140 i thought i was for a little while when they there's no playbook and you're famous and then 0.98

00:48:52.400 you're kind of like i guess just like i call the shots like this is my fucking simulation i run this 0.88

00:48:58.140 whole thing now and it knocked me back into a place where i was like i'm just a kid from arlington 0.98

00:49:03.140 i'm a fucking kid who had nothing growing up and i'm gonna do everything i can for the rest of my 0.89

00:49:07.600 career to only deliver when i have something great and that's why i tap out you know the 0.99

00:49:13.940 stories you hear people saying like they learn later in life hey you know one thing i look back

00:49:19.200 on and i wish i took more moments because i worked so hard i listened to that so when i was like 30

00:49:26.240 i was like um if i don't have something to say i'm not showing up uh sometimes where you're not

00:49:33.120 sometimes where you don't show up is more important than where you do the law of scarcity you know

00:49:38.700 yeah yeah so when i come up with this i'm i've got a gatling gun now and i'm coming out with

00:49:43.220 something brand new that i know is undeniable and um and so it did it fractured me uh and it took

00:49:50.440 a lot of therapy and a long time for me to look back and realize like man i'm glad that happened

00:49:54.380 because i was kind of becoming a person that i didn't really know the the uh adolescent in me

00:49:59.580 is asking this question so he kind of mentioned it earlier but hold on let me let me tap into the

00:50:03.680 adolescent mean back to lol mass ladies and gentlemen so you know throughout high school

00:50:09.720 you know internet's internet's coming out and um your stuff's popping off right we're massive fans

00:50:16.580 and then um you have these movies uh good luck chuck jessica alba and then employee of the month

00:50:21.640 right jessica simpson right two very attractive jessicas like i had crushes on them in high school 0.97

00:50:27.240 like everyone else when you get cast with these types of top tier women right are you are you just 0.80

00:50:32.520 foaming at the mouth i have to know man like like some of the most beautiful women on the planet

00:50:36.380 and you from lol mass you you you um you realize that that moment in your life that there's two

00:50:44.640 decisions you can make when you're when you're in a position to cast like i'm working with lion's

00:50:48.500 gate they were my partner on eight on eight films i produced with them and at first the boy in you

00:50:54.680 is like who's the girl that i like and then you very quickly realize if i just cast somebody based 0.59

00:50:59.960 on that um i'm fucked because they may not be right for the role and um it's just not going to

00:51:06.400 be a the right synergy so i feel like i did a pretty good job at working with people that i 0.96

00:51:13.700 thought were really entrepreneurial and and great and came to the set with like not feeling that it

00:51:19.960 was a hang but feeling like it was work you know you cast them oh yeah i had i had say in all the

00:51:25.800 casting on all the films oh you did you have chemistry reads with them i don't know if i did

00:51:30.780 chemistry read i might have had one on employee of the month i think because people weren't into

00:51:35.920 at the the idea of jessica simpson at that time because she wasn't known for acting i thought she

00:51:40.320 was very winning and when i met her and i knew her from newlyweds and stuff i was like i think

00:51:44.560 she's the right choice i think there was something that at that time especially was just very like

00:51:49.140 down home about her so uh i i probably made the decisions you're talking about fortunately

00:51:56.520 when i was like the the college act and just coming up i had about five years before the

00:52:03.220 movies yeah where i was fucking rabble rousing man i was a pirate and and then i realized all 0.76

00:52:08.880 right when i go to work i you're not doing that you're you want a professional who shows up like 0.91

00:52:14.380 you do who's like how can we take these 16 hours and make some fucking greatness so that an editor 0.86

00:52:19.000 doesn't go yeah these two like each other but this stinks yeah yeah how did you like how did 0.93

00:52:25.780 you like bounce around with no social media what do you mean like if we were like blowing up and

00:52:31.120 we wanted to like i don't know like say logan was interested in zendaya just send her off a tweet or

00:52:36.180 like a dm yeah but like did you have to meet them at a purple like at a club the version of that was

00:52:40.700 uh aol instant messenger was like the that was the early sliding yeah like you just opened the

00:52:47.400 door i had that on my myspace and i was like hey if anybody wants to aim me and would hit uh you

00:52:52.560 know hit you up on there so it was back channel it's the same shit right is now but that was my

00:52:57.800 icon in the in the in the in the center you know that little icon that you mine was do the do and 0.61

00:53:02.800 it was a little guy humping a mountain dew candle oh my god that sounds familiar yeah it's the icon

00:53:09.160 thing you choose and then that kind of described who you were as a human and it was just a guy

00:53:13.240 humping a mountain dude it was like do the do i don't know why i thought it was so funny a scene

00:53:16.760 from that movie role models where they're like promoting that energy drink and they drive the

00:53:20.780 truck on the back of the bowl in front of the school you thought jessica alba was going to

00:53:25.000 be entrepreneurial yeah well that's what you said i thought how right you were i thought that i 0.99

00:53:29.400 thought i mean obviously yeah billion dollar woman but it's like when she showed up for that

00:53:33.760 again it was like the the beautiful girl that people aren't expecting is going to walk into 1.00

00:53:38.960 a fucking pole and look and look like a doofus and when she showed up was like i want to yeah 1.00

00:53:44.560 like slapstick and she you know it's like a sex romp and we're you know and she was like i'm ready 1.00

00:53:49.140 to go for it i was like that is who you want you don't want so many people expect to you know to

00:53:55.320 to be just sexy for the sake of being sexy you want somebody that brings so much more to whatever

00:54:00.560 it is that they're they're doing so i i got lucky and then when i did um best friends girl you know

00:54:05.900 kate hudson is like from comedic royalty so when she said she wanted to do that film with me i was

00:54:10.100 like i couldn't have sent her enough you know fruit baskets and appreciation because she made

00:54:14.860 me look even better in that movie because she was so good hecklers are the worst thing ever

00:54:19.760 when i'm at comedy shows i i hate them and i always feel so much empathy for the yeah yeah

00:54:24.900 have you had some some pretty hectic hecklers oh man yeah yeah i definitely like um and that's

00:54:31.060 where you cut your teeth and stand up really it's almost it's almost like um you've got this act

00:54:36.100 and you're precious about it and you're you know you know it's like you you want i want to hit my

00:54:40.340 punch lines and hit the button and the tag and then this heckler comes in and what they do is

00:54:45.440 they're disruptive but they're also immediately bringing out who you really are and it's kind of 0.78

00:54:52.340 cool because that's really where you want to get to not not the fucking act but have the act but

00:54:59.500 be allowed to break out of it and deal with something that's happening in real time so for me 0.93

00:55:03.820 the the best gift is when a heckler breaks into my psyche careful what you say right now

00:55:11.060 oh no i have people they'll never win they can they can come at me and even if they know like 0.97

00:55:16.340 oh well let's go get them it's like i have fucking katanas on my back i'm rebirth island 0.83

00:55:21.220 dead pool out there it's it it's not it's a no-win situation if you if you if you step into 0.98

00:55:27.560 the fucking comedy ring with me the the first time i performed at a laugh factory i text logan 0.99

00:55:32.300 a clip of what i'm about to perform and he texts me this is fucking terrible and i'm like oh fuck 0.99

00:55:37.120 and then wait hold on hold on you're being real he loves my comedy i'm not saying he does it but 0.99

00:55:41.220 he's like you could do better but you're very very fucking but but did i straight to the all 0.98

00:55:45.160 burbage like that he literally said this is fucking terrible i showed it to everybody they 0.99

00:55:48.940 agree that was like the exact fucking text it was probably pretty bad so i was like i was like fuck 0.99

00:55:54.700 and then um i don't know if you know uh uh enrique he texted a bunch of comedians that i look up to 0.98

00:56:00.400 and they all got excited that I was performing there

00:56:02.160 and they all showed up

00:56:02.880 and my girlfriend was watching me for the first time 0.91

00:56:04.920 and I was like, dude, this is the fucking most pressure 0.92

00:56:07.040 I've ever felt. 0.98

00:56:07.880 Then a heckler goes off on the comedian

00:56:10.140 but they were, right before I got on,

00:56:12.200 they were going so much, they stopped the show,

00:56:14.800 they escort them out

00:56:15.880 and then now they're like, anyways, we got another guy coming. 0.98

00:56:18.640 I was like, are you fucking kidding me? 0.96

00:56:20.720 So I go up and in my mind, I was like, 0.99

00:56:22.740 oh, you know, I did great.

00:56:24.140 It was, and we recorded the whole thing.

00:56:25.860 It was a great time.

00:56:26.520 Two days later.

00:57:37.160 that's uh my hand and say it's a great story

00:57:41.080 i'm gonna let you open for me next time yeah you're out there with joe coy

00:57:48.880 that's awesome that is a good story dude censorship censorship bro i just did chappelle's summer camp

00:57:57.320 last year and it was like oh you went to ohio yeah i mean i know i know dave since when i was

00:58:03.000 in new york city 93 i was like whatever 19 and there was dave dave and i were doing early gigs 0.81

00:58:07.640 he was like fucking 11 or i don't know how old he was and uh so we were doing these early gigs 0.79

00:58:12.520 together and dave was always a guy that i kind of put date listen dave is in his own thing dave is 0.88

00:58:18.860 not he dave is dave and he's he's a transmitter in a lot of ways and he was doing that then and

00:58:25.640 he does it now he just again talk about like coming from his truth and coming from a place

00:58:30.160 that's like it don't like it whatever like his unique perspective on things and the humanity

00:58:35.900 that he tries to put into those things it's it's really amazing and he's awesome yeah so

00:58:40.740 wait wait hold on no i i just want to i just want to pin the censorship yeah yeah real quick because

00:58:47.540 you went to yellow springs yes ohio to perform while dave was doing his thing during covid

00:58:53.960 right during the yeah whatever at the end yeah last year not this summer last summer so i'm

00:58:59.680 curious how this worked because like i remember thinking at one point like what's dave chappelle

00:59:05.740 doing yeah and then he was gracious enough to invite me to um uh a a set of his and the premiere 0.99

00:59:13.420 of the movie that he was making right then and i i remember thinking oh my god this motherfucker 0.96

00:59:17.540 wasn't not doing anything he was he was he was doing something that had never been done before 0.98

00:59:21.500 he was putting on shows in his backyard in yellow springs ohio in a cornfield really trashed

00:59:27.500 hammered no but but the film was amazing yeah was your experience out there like

00:59:33.580 did it feel revitalizing to once again perform again in front of a crowd because covid killed

00:59:38.200 everything especially for comedians it did it also felt like um in dave and everybody said like this

00:59:43.220 is going to be really unique what you're and i kind of was like okay i get it but then you get

00:59:47.700 down there and it really felt like being at camp or something it was what he set up down there and

00:59:52.220 the shows he was putting on um i don't think i'll ever experience anything like it even if i do it

00:59:57.200 again that first time of being there and being a part of that but but sharing the stage stage with

01:00:02.480 dave who dude check this out i start i'm doing uh early gigs i'll make this it's a long story

01:00:09.820 very quick we're doing college gigs together like we're kids and we used to go back to back

01:00:14.980 back then like i've always i'm naturally energetic i get fucking excited when i'm on stage but back

01:00:20.360 then i was like tasmanian devil like i would do anything for a laugh and so i'd go out there and 0.81

01:00:25.060 i'd fucking massacre i'd just be out there just like sweating and dave would go out and dave was 0.91

01:00:31.460 dave was kind of like you know he go up there he go man someone said to me chapelle and he falls 0.99

01:00:40.980 and then he'd think for a little bit and then he's killing he's killing and we're backstage

01:00:44.860 and i said dave i gotta i gotta know man how i'm still learning i feel like i'm still you know i

01:00:51.260 have so much to learn how are you doing this sometimes you're following me and instantly

01:00:55.880 you're just getting him and killing and dave chapelle as a kid looked at me and he went

01:01:00.020 the power's in the silence man the power's in the silence he was just oh he's dave he's he's 0.96

01:01:07.960 he operates on a whole different mentality and level and it's why he's the goat i love that

01:01:12.960 sentence though there's so much power if you can get comfortable with silence yeah jeff my manager

01:01:18.840 sitting over there he uh he taught me so what is it it's uh if someone asked you so anyone can ask

01:01:25.700 you a question but that doesn't mean you have to answer right and especially when you're doing

01:01:30.160 any sort of press any interviews anything if you can get comfortable just chilling right massive

01:01:36.940 impact in that true are you worried on his point about things you're saying are you worried about

01:01:43.920 being canceled are censorship now and and especially for comedians is becoming more and

01:01:49.480 more prominent no because i think that it's incumbent upon anybody performing stand-up

01:01:53.780 comedy today to you want to keep your integrity but you also want to do one thing observe and

01:01:59.700 report from your experience if it happened to you if it happened from you you can talk about it

01:02:05.600 anything anything but if you're trying to tell somebody else's story through your eyes

01:02:09.760 that that era of stand-up comedy is is over and it and it actually it should because it's pretty

01:02:15.420 ignorant nobody should be speaking on somebody else's story for the sake of getting laughs off

01:02:19.360 it i i've done that i'm a storyteller even all the way back to vicious circle like when i did the 0.94

01:02:25.060 crying bit it's to this day the bit that i can't go a day without somebody writing me about it

01:02:30.000 because when somebody has a bad day and they're crying they go dude i started laughing my mom was

01:02:36.420 dying of cancer when i wrote that bit my mom couldn't be at the best show i ever did in boston

01:02:41.240 and that night when i performed that bit my mom was in florida in delray beach she couldn't make

01:02:46.140 to boston so i gave that bit everything i had both because i knew it was funny around it but

01:02:52.740 like how i was really feeling i was really missing my mom that night got on a flight the next morning

01:02:56.940 brought it down and got to show her this is what that moment meant to me and so to be able to 0.96

01:03:05.120 observe and report your what you experience you can do whatever say whatever the fuck you want

01:03:11.080 don't let anybody ever put any boundaries at all on that and and if they try to it's just them man

01:03:17.660 it's just people's experience and projecting so has what other people think of you has nothing

01:03:21.780 to do with you so you get up there and you observe and report from your own personal experience and

01:03:28.060 and then you won't worry about being canceled or censored still people might not like what you

01:03:31.880 have to say and think it's it's garbage but you're never going to worry you're going to sleep very

01:03:37.380 well at night knowing like i'm just doing i'm doing what i know is is my life i'm talking about 0.87

01:03:42.400 my life it's so it's logic said i was just gonna say the same thing yes literally the exact same

01:03:47.440 thing we had logic the the hip uh rapper on yesterday and he he was using a word that someone

01:03:52.780 called him and i said are you worried about using that word and he's like dude they called me this

01:03:57.800 like i'm simply reporting what happened i'm not i'm not making a story of i'm not using it as a

01:04:02.720 flora i'm just saying what happened right right and so it's there's always going to be listen

01:04:07.620 there's going to be vernacular jargon there's going to be things that you say there's always

01:04:11.780 going to be something that people are going to find fault with it it's it's once once you're a

01:04:16.880 known comic once you're known anything then you have just opened yourself up to a realm of people

01:04:22.860 that are there's more people that are not going to be into what you do they just are going to be

01:04:27.640 having to hear from their friends or whoever like i'm into this person and then now you've

01:04:32.620 got dual sometimes you know two people that like you or one person's like i'm not into it so yeah

01:04:38.020 you're always going to come in and out of favor i guess but as long as you your integrity is intact

01:04:41.900 then um unless you're like a political comic and you're like i want to get out there and

01:04:46.440 make statements about then you got to expect that you know your job is to be critique yeah yeah yeah

01:04:52.980 you know i might be uh you know uh what is that called like uh criticized criticized about you

01:04:59.180 know like you know some of my statements and but if that's the kind of comic you want to be then

01:05:03.180 you know like all right i lose half the audience i gained a new audience that you know otherwise

01:05:08.400 just do your thing from from your heart man when you were on this run and you're pursuing this this

01:05:13.220 this career in the arts um you know comedy is an art it's a form of media and entertainment

01:05:18.480 and you would do a set and show your parents you know what you what you did did they find it funny

01:05:25.500 did they did they understand what you were building or or because i remember when i would

01:05:31.040 show my parents some of my videos that it's like oh that's funny yeah you rode a bike off a picnic

01:05:36.920 but that's it right it's just there's no beyond like i okay like that's essentially what they said

01:05:43.560 right did you have that or were they were they more in tune with what was going on sometimes

01:05:48.680 you wanted them to be in tune and be like i like that i like and then sometimes you knew like they're

01:05:53.220 the exact audience that i want to get the opposite reaction because i know that my generation will be

01:05:57.480 like i'm into that so there were certain pieces that early my you know mom or dad might be like

01:06:01.840 what are you what are you doing yeah i'd be like okay that's good yeah listen i don't want to be

01:06:08.060 milquetoast but you know you don't definitely don't you start becoming like okay i'm kind of

01:06:12.100 like easily uh placed you don't want to be that you definitely want to have some you know cause 0.83

01:06:16.500 some friction man you do want to get up there and fucking kick the tires and you know stand-up

01:06:20.680 comedy should be you know uh it should be a little dangerous right but it doesn't have to hurt people 0.97

01:06:25.740 it's just so many people crave acceptance from their parents and i think a lot of people make

01:06:29.660 decisions young people make decisions about what they want to do in their life right based on what

01:06:33.760 their parents want right right exactly i've never ever been a fan of that but yeah unfortunately

01:06:39.680 like the society has kind of craved carved that into people's minds yeah i think that i mean i

01:06:45.160 I only know that my experience was once I made, you know, once I made good on my promise to my

01:06:52.420 parents, which was like, Hey, if you support me in this, I'm, I said, I'm not gonna, I said,

01:06:57.780 I'm not taking this halfway. Um, I'm, I'm going to do this. And I told my mom, I was like 16 or

01:07:04.200 I said, uh, I'm not going to be kind of funny. I want to be one of the best. I want to take this.

01:07:08.760 I want to be for my generation. I want to hit the high watermarks. And so when they see you

01:07:15.020 make good on a promise that only they knew about really you know when it was just talk you know

01:07:21.120 when it's just talk my dad would call me on it i don't know about yours but like my dad would say

01:07:24.820 things like because i was a big dreamer i'd be like i'm gonna build a lemonade stand and i'm

01:07:30.160 gonna have two corners because then i get cross traffic my dad would walk and he'd open the front

01:07:34.360 door and he'd look outside and he'd go i don't see it i don't see what you're talking about i said no

01:07:39.000 i'm not building i'm saying i'm going to because yeah i don't i don't see until i see it i don't

01:07:42.400 really so he was the person who put in me you better show me oh stop talking about all the

01:07:47.960 yeah and that taught me later in life keep keep most of your desire you know share it with a

01:07:53.540 confidant maybe somebody that you love but don't don't dispel the energy by telling a lot of people

01:07:58.200 that really don't have your they may like you they may care about you but nobody knows your

01:08:02.800 passion but you so if you start telling everybody your passion and everybody has a piece of that

01:08:06.180 passion you're you're lowering that that fuel you need to keep some fire inside of you that

01:08:12.480 some people go like where are you going and you're like i got work to do yeah dude he's got so many

01:08:17.560 gems like yeah you gem drop it's funny because you look to your predecessors for the gems that

01:08:25.520 you're now dropping on others right and it's like it's like i think probably was it after 38 you

01:08:32.060 started to pull together all of these wonderful uh bite-sized nuggets to drop based on the things 0.99

01:08:39.140 that you went through like what was like the point where you were like yo i know some shit 0.88

01:08:42.280 i just wanted to be i wanted to grow and into an introspective person and if i was going to be an

01:08:49.620 introspective person i knew that i had to be willing to share my failures but also embrace

01:08:54.940 my success which means i i'll tell you about the worst moments of my life i can tell you i can tell

01:09:00.200 you the the rock bottom moments in my life and i can share them even a funny way or a serious way 0.98

01:09:05.420 because what i tell people is if you're at a rock bottom moment in your life don't be so fucking

01:09:09.840 fast to get up and get out because there's so much data in failure you want it i'm telling you

01:09:16.360 you almost want things to fuck up sometimes because that data you get from that are the

01:09:20.520 building blocks for the stuff later so i'll talk about that but i also i i don't know how you guys

01:09:27.260 feel about this like we're also in this time where it's like can anybody celebrate like hey for a

01:09:33.300 minute i'm in the lead i got this and it's okay to be like i'm look i'm fucking special right now

01:09:38.940 i'm fucking winning right now and we're now we all play kate and everybody i feel good about what 0.67

01:09:44.560 no no every once in a while you you have to be able to say i got it i'm the person you want to 0.98

01:09:50.660 fucking vote for i got hand me the baton i'm winning follow me why because you know i told 0.98

01:09:58.120 you when i fucked up and failed and fell down and i told you that now i'm telling you i'm gonna win 0.99

01:10:03.860 so like with this next special i got marty cornerback because i called marty and said 0.98

01:10:07.280 um i'm ready to do something in the holy shit business are you and he knew i wouldn't call him

01:10:14.140 if i didn't think that i had something that i was really you know excited about because i was going 0.96

01:10:20.080 to share some of the failures but some of the upper high water moments so embrace the things

01:10:25.440 that you know you're great at don't be afraid but it's a little cockshored once in a while be like 0.96

01:10:29.280 dude i got i'm fucking i got a swagger you don't have to live in like that don't be like that all 0.96

01:10:33.720 the time that's like nobody wants to be around that person but every once in a while we got to 0.98

01:10:37.200 be able to like fucking puff your chest out and be like i got this yeah kanye you know kanye every 0.66

01:10:41.680 once in a while i don't know about kanye but that but maybe taking his class that message you're 0.98

01:10:49.160 about uh rock bottom is super important to people watching this and people struggling because i

01:10:54.640 always say for me the biggest catalyst in my life were the moments where my back was against the

01:10:58.840 wall nothing spawned more creative nothing was more motivational nothing pushed me to actually

01:11:04.180 fucking create and move and fire off like being in the worst let me ask you the question and it's 0.85

01:11:10.340 the hardest question but truly it's like you go back in time you have a moment to adjust something 1.00

01:11:14.980 here or there nothing nothing single fuck everything i am today is a result of everything 0.60

01:11:20.360 i was yesterday i got you man i know i i i i completely 100 percent um nothing's ever falling 0.87

01:11:28.880 apart it's only ever falling together and i and i lost both my parents to cancer in the same year 0.95

01:11:34.100 i watched both my mom and dad in the same year get sick with cancer and put up the best fucking

01:11:39.580 fight that I I'm proud to say I watched and helped them fight but from those moments I learned so 0.73

01:11:46.540 much about empathy and compassion and being a man and showing up and loyalty and I learned about the

01:11:52.640 person I didn't want to be anymore too which was I was kind of a fuck-up I wasn't always the person

01:11:57.020 that you could rely on I wasn't always the best in my relationships I got selfish I did things

01:12:02.480 that was just like for you know but I had to go back and in in those moments especially with my

01:12:08.220 parents man it was sad but there was a lot of laughs even still even in those dark moments

01:12:15.100 and from those moments it it gave me information that i needed to be better for all the people

01:12:21.600 that do love me and are around me or my friends or then extended fans because people know like oh

01:12:26.400 if i'm even if it's just a show i know if i buy a ticket my hard-earned dollar he's going to give

01:12:31.120 me a great performance and i everything i meet that way in my life everybody in my life and

01:12:37.920 And to speak, Logan, back to, like, there was a time when the ego, like, yeah, it hurt because, and I can't speak, you know, for your experience, but, like, sometimes you think, like, man, I did things that may be not repairable. 0.99

01:12:51.800 And it sucks because then some of these people won't get to know me that I've become better based on some stupid shit. 0.98

01:13:00.040 And some people won't tap back in after that. 1.00

01:13:02.780 And it hurts.

01:13:04.180 It does hurt.

01:13:04.720 It hurts.

01:13:04.960 I can't lie.

01:13:05.660 It does hurt.

01:13:06.020 i've always just wanted to be liked like every other human like except my brother

01:13:11.600 he's crushing who loves me but like i i've always considered myself decent and sometimes when you

01:13:21.420 do something not decent you you lose people forever which which which is sad um but you but

01:13:28.560 But people who understand that sometimes, especially as men, we have to let the ship

01:13:37.340 leave the shore to realize our mettle.

01:13:40.420 What are we really? 1.00

01:13:41.600 And that means sometimes doing juvenile, stupid, dumb, egotistical, whatever, in order to become 1.00

01:13:48.240 a real man that contributes and is a contributing member of your society, of your community. 0.99

01:13:53.640 so it's like i just find that arc so much more real everyone everyone has that just

01:14:01.920 it it varies how big or how shallow the arc is right like that's that is humanity that's like

01:14:08.060 life that's ever during sex in your during sex while you're coming ever say i've become the man

01:14:13.200 i'm myself yes

01:14:17.440 no man i i don't know you up close and personal but i've seen it so as a person that also

01:14:26.680 understands being judged from a distance um i i like what you've become and i that's why i wanted

01:14:32.560 to be here when you asked i was i was really stoked so thank you thank you well yeah no i i

01:14:36.700 wouldn't have become what i am now a person who i can say i genuinely love and i haven't always

01:14:41.960 been able to say that without without the the lows everybody loves a good comeback listen i'm

01:14:46.180 gonna take you guys out and buy some pants today how's that yeah i'm gonna we're going to tarjay

01:14:49.820 after i'm gonna put some on for the next show for sure it's just last note on that on that

01:14:54.940 thing i remember when everything was happening and you were uh it very much this is the worst

01:15:01.020 thing ever like that was like this is the worst thing ever like that was your mind state that

01:15:04.860 was everything and i i randomly it's funny because i didn't know we're gonna be talking

01:15:08.100 about this but i randomly tweeted like yesterday or two days ago the worst thing that ever happened

01:15:12.560 to you is probably the best thing that ever happened to you and and there were so many people

01:15:17.260 that got it so much but then there was a lot of younger people usually that were like that's not

01:15:21.300 true i lost my my my girlfriend left me my mom you know is sick or whatever and i'm like homie

01:15:26.940 you don't understand the things that this is going to teach you bro that's going to set you up forever

01:15:30.740 and the weird thing is sometimes the reverse is true the very thing that you think that you want

01:15:35.100 is leading you into a realm that you're like i don't even really want the i just wanted to see

01:15:40.560 if i could and now i'm here and who am i what is happening what is this sometimes the desire is

01:15:47.200 worth more than achieving it yeah it's so funny it's so funny we were on the um the prime bus in
