00:00:00.000 Alright, welcome to Ash Wednesday.
00:00:08.000 We haven't done one of these in a while, but really excited to have my guests on.
00:00:11.000 First, I should mention, not an official sponsor or anything to the show, but if you go to cigarsdaily.com, enter in the promo code Crowdery, you get 15% off this Oliva Milano.
00:00:20.000 It's a smaller cigar, and they sell them in boxes of 10.
00:00:23.000 So, just a buddy of mine, good guy, he's really nice, helped me actually after the surgery with some stuff.
00:00:27.000 Cigarsdaily.com, enter in the promo code.
00:00:30.000 Not a sponsor.
00:00:31.000 YouTube.
00:00:32.000 And we have here, really excited actually.
00:00:34.000 I've been watching him for a long time.
00:00:35.000 I watched one of his sets, gosh I want to say back in, might have been 96 at the Just for Laughs in Montreal.
00:00:42.000 So I grew up watching him and really admiring a lot of his stand-up.
00:00:46.000 And then Dave is friends with him.
00:00:47.000 You can listen to his podcast, Bruniverse.
00:00:50.000 And then his special, which is killing it on YouTube.
00:00:52.000 Millions of plays.
00:00:53.000 Someone had to say it.
00:00:55.000 I think I hit all the plugs.
00:00:56.000 Jim Brewer.
00:00:56.000 How you doing, brother?
00:00:57.000 I'm good, man.
00:00:58.000 Thanks for having me.
00:00:58.000 Oh, I'm glad to have you.
00:00:59.000 Yeah, I know Dave had been on your show.
00:01:02.000 Yeah.
00:01:03.000 And like I told you, I grew up watching.
00:01:06.000 Was it 96 or 97?
00:01:07.000 You must have done the Just for Laughs at that point.
00:01:08.000 Yeah, I think I did 96.
00:01:09.000 Maybe 96, 97.
00:01:10.000 I want to say Kevin Jaynes might have been the host.
00:01:16.000 That makes sense.
00:01:17.000 Yeah, but I remember seeing him before he got King of Queens, and I watched the set that got Ray Romano his show.
00:01:23.000 I remember he used to scout at the Just for Laughs.
00:01:25.000 That was 98, right?
00:01:26.000 I don't know which year it was, but... No, it was before that.
00:01:30.000 The only reason I know that, Dave, is because I was in New York, and I was doing the comic strip, and I used to have to follow Ray Romano.
00:01:39.000 And so Ray would go out, and I had a show they were developing, and I'll never forget, I went up to Ray.
00:01:43.000 I'm like, Ray, well, you know, I need a big-time writer, and you're a materials kid.
00:01:48.000 If you'd like to be the writer.
00:01:50.000 He went, I kind of got this thing they're working on.
00:01:53.000 I went, yeah, good luck with that.
00:01:57.000 Good luck with that.
00:01:58.000 The biggest sitcom of the decade.
00:02:00.000 Ever.
00:02:01.000 And mine went.
00:02:02.000 It's still looking for it.
00:02:03.000 Did you offer Larry David to shine your shoes?
00:02:07.000 Was that for you and Chappelle?
00:02:09.000 Was that for you and Chappelle, the sitcom?
00:02:13.000 No, it was before that.
00:02:14.000 It was actually before that.
00:02:15.000 Yeah, okay.
00:02:16.000 Yeah, it was right before, so that was like 94-ish.
00:02:18.000 Okay.
00:02:19.000 And for people who are, and I don't think a lot of them are, but maybe they're not as intensely familiar with you, like obviously stand-up comedy, people have probably seen you, right, in Half-Baked and seen your stuff on TV, but now you've been in the news a little bit lately just for stances that are, seeing someone as controversial, you know, chose to do shows where they didn't have the vaccine deal, and then next thing you know, you're in the news, which, you're not a news guy.
00:02:41.000 No, I'm not a news guy at all.
00:02:42.000 Matter of fact, but this is why I'm glad I'm at a point in life where I don't check messages.
00:02:48.000 If I make a video I put up, I don't.
00:02:49.000 When I made that video and I said, I'm not performing any venues that forced the Vax card.
00:02:56.000 And that came from fans.
00:02:58.000 There were already gigs booked.
00:02:59.000 Right.
00:03:00.000 And then the venue said, no, you got to show up your card.
00:03:04.000 And all I did was make my video.
00:03:05.000 I mentioned, you know, morals.
00:03:07.000 I believe in this.
00:03:08.000 I've got in my life this thing I'd rather play.
00:03:10.000 Whatever I said.
00:03:13.000 And then I just left it.
00:03:14.000 And then I had no clue it was going to turn into what it turned into.
00:03:21.000 I had zero clue.
00:03:23.000 What was the fallout like?
00:03:24.000 I'm sure you got a lot of supporters, but obviously on the flip side.
00:03:26.000 Yes.
00:03:29.000 I won't mention the name.
00:03:31.000 Huge comedian calls me soon as I'm done with the video.
00:03:36.000 And I knew right away, I'm like, you know what?
00:03:40.000 I'm going to record this.
00:03:42.000 Oh, man.
00:03:44.000 Was it Bilber?
00:03:46.000 He's not going to.
00:03:47.000 Dude! 0.98
00:03:48.000 You can't not do shows with the f***ing vaccine! 1.00
00:03:51.000 Are you out of your f***ing mind? 1.00
00:03:53.000 Dude! 1.00
00:03:54.000 I know what you're thinking!
00:03:55.000 I don't want people to... Oh my god!
00:03:58.000 Right?
00:04:01.000 I'm sorry, we'll just bleep that.
00:04:02.000 No, no, no.
00:04:04.000 I didn't say it was.
00:04:05.000 I didn't say it was.
00:04:06.000 Of course you didn't.
00:04:07.000 I'm more impressed by your impression.
00:04:09.000 I had Mick DiPaolo call me furious because we had him on a podcast one time and that was the same show on YouTube where I did Bob Ross painting Muhammad.
00:04:17.000 Yeah.
00:04:18.000 And I just get a call, Nick DiPaolo.
00:04:19.000 I'm like, okay, I was driving.
00:04:20.000 I got to put it down.
00:04:21.000 And then I get a second call, Nick DiPaolo.
00:04:22.000 And I never hear from him.
00:04:23.000 He's a kind of a recluse. 0.99
00:04:24.000 And I pick up and say, are you out of your f***ing mind? 1.00
00:04:26.000 You got me next to Mohammed on the... And he's just going nuts. 1.00
00:04:29.000 I'm like, Nick DiPaolo is nervous about this.
00:04:32.000 And it's just, it's weird what gets people uncomfortable.
00:04:35.000 That would be one of the things that should... Yeah, it makes sense.
00:04:38.000 Yes.
00:04:38.000 I mean, I don't want to be... I don't want to stick in the mud.
00:04:41.000 He was correct.
00:04:44.000 I didn't...
00:04:46.000 Yeah, so, yeah.
00:04:49.000 I got a call from someone, and I gotta say, I was a little shocked that where they were coming from, and I just held my stance.
00:04:58.000 I'm like, no man, I'm telling you.
00:05:00.000 And then we got a little intense with the conversation.
00:05:04.000 He was talking about vaccines.
00:05:05.000 I'm like, hey man, not for nothing, but I know for a fact, fact, Uh, some people very close to my life that have been affected.
00:05:14.000 Of course.
00:05:15.000 Not from what just came out, but from the past.
00:05:18.000 Right.
00:05:19.000 We're talking about paralyzed at five years old, and it took a year and a half, too.
00:05:23.000 So why don't you tell them that's all nonsense?
00:05:26.000 And why don't you tell this kid?
00:05:29.000 Yes, there was feedback.
00:05:31.000 I lost some gigs that I had.
00:05:33.000 I also had the special.
00:05:37.000 Somebody had to say it.
00:05:38.000 It was going to air on a platform where Dude, my following at the time was like 40, 50.
00:05:45.000 I don't know how to download stuff.
00:05:47.000 I just want to press... I want to see Jim's special.
00:05:49.000 Hit here... Wait, did you just say you don't know how to download things?
00:05:52.000 I do, Steve!
00:05:54.000 But it's just... I don't want to!
00:05:55.000 It takes a minute.
00:05:56.000 It does take a while.
00:05:57.000 It's annoying!
00:05:58.000 Especially if it's in the cloud.
00:05:59.000 I don't fully understand it.
00:06:03.000 Yeah, so then the special was dropped.
00:06:06.000 Yeah.
00:06:08.000 And so whatever.
00:06:09.000 So yes, but I don't care.
00:06:11.000 Was the special dropped from an actual streaming service?
00:06:13.000 Yes.
00:06:13.000 but it was a special drop from an actual streaming service?
00:06:17.000 Yes.
00:06:18.000 Can you say which one or no?
00:06:19.000 I honestly don't.
00:06:22.000 You don't know if you can?
00:06:23.000 The Bill Burr streaming service?
00:06:24.000 It doesn't matter.
00:06:25.000 Oh it doesn't matter? 0.94
00:06:26.000 I'm just wondering because there's been a few instances of that now where I find it so ridiculous. 0.78
00:06:31.000 It doesn't matter.
00:06:32.000 Like Andrew Schultz?
00:06:34.000 Yeah, well he bought his back.
00:06:35.000 He bought his back, yeah.
00:06:36.000 Where was it?
00:06:37.000 In Netflix, right?
00:06:38.000 Amazon, yeah.
00:06:39.000 Amazon, they said, we need you to cut all this stuff that involved Biden and he was like, no.
00:06:43.000 So he bought it back from Amazon and then aired it all out.
00:06:47.000 Which is so funny because he's a comedy witch hunt.
00:06:49.000 I mean, Biden, like for crying out loud, regardless of politics, you'd think people would admit, okay, this is fodder for comedy.
00:06:54.000 It was all the cruelty if he got lost in his front yard.
00:06:57.000 Stuff like that.
00:06:57.000 You know what I mean?
00:06:59.000 The fact that you can't even... this is the biggest comedy gold in history is this administration.
00:07:07.000 How are you not saying anything?
00:07:09.000 And then if you say something, how do you not realize we are in the middle of You will not speak of the following peoples!
00:07:19.000 And for crying out loud, half the Daily Show dined out in George W. Bush pronouncing it nuclear for years.
00:07:24.000 Exactly! 1.00
00:07:24.000 You have a guy who shit his pants with the Pope! 1.00
00:07:26.000 Mirka! 1.00
00:07:27.000 Mirka!
00:07:28.000 I get it.
00:07:28.000 I get it too, but nobody is allowed to touch this administration.
00:07:34.000 You will not even discuss the Vice President.
00:07:40.000 Former Vice President.
00:07:41.000 Respect the office.
00:07:42.000 Former Vice.
00:07:43.000 No, even her! 0.95
00:07:47.000 Okay, you brought that up, your audience.
00:07:49.000 So, because some people are watching right now, and Dave had to do that too, by the way, with the vaccine.
00:07:52.000 You had to cancel some shows.
00:07:55.000 Yeah, a couple of them.
00:07:56.000 It was just, I didn't stop traveling.
00:07:58.000 And I'm a huge germaphobe.
00:07:59.000 I grew up, we talked about that.
00:08:01.000 It's like my mom was a nurse and I came from, you know, with my dad and everything, but it didn't make sense.
00:08:06.000 So I was like, well, until you make it make sense as a giant germaphobe, I was like, I'm just going to keep going.
00:08:11.000 So I guess I'm just going to buy a germaphobe in Detroit.
00:08:14.000 Yeah.
00:08:15.000 And Harlem.
00:08:17.000 I was going from Detroit to Harlem, not afraid of.
00:08:19.000 Do you know how weird that is?
00:08:22.000 Every comfort zone.
00:08:23.000 Dude, I would just get on planes and it'd be like camera crews going to report and me getting bumped to first class because no one was on the planes.
00:08:31.000 Nobody was on the planes.
00:08:31.000 Yeah, and I was like, this is great.
00:08:33.000 I hope nobody ever goes out again.
00:08:34.000 Yeah.
00:08:35.000 It was amazing.
00:08:35.000 It's $90.
00:08:37.000 Really, then you saw fuel price.
00:08:38.000 I mean, we started here at this, to give you an idea, here, I came in with the employees and I said, look, Just so you know, if you want to stay home, that's fine.
00:08:46.000 They were doing the quarantine deal.
00:08:48.000 I said, if you want to stay home, that's fine.
00:08:50.000 I'll pay for as long as I can.
00:08:52.000 I'm not going to.
00:08:52.000 I'm going to show up if I need to pare down the show.
00:08:54.000 And I said, and by the way, we're going to, we're going to be doing two a days.
00:08:57.000 So we did the quarantine month.
00:08:58.000 And then I went to two shows a day because I knew people were locked up at home.
00:09:01.000 Right.
00:09:01.000 And the numbers that we saw during that time, that was kind of the shift with this company.
00:09:06.000 We went from maybe having 30, 40,000 people watching live at that, you know, any given second.
00:09:11.000 To 150, because people were locked in at home.
00:09:14.000 And it's just, to me, I kind of thought, like, wow, I'm sort of surprised that I'm one of the few people doing this, when big names in the industry you would think would understand their job is to serve people, not themselves.
00:09:25.000 And a lot of art becomes self-important.
00:09:26.000 But I wanted to get into, you mentioned your audience, like 40, 50, a lot of them, a lot of people are familiar with you from, like, Half-Baked.
00:09:31.000 Right.
00:09:32.000 Or sort of Stoners.
00:09:33.000 Half-Baked.
00:09:34.000 Right.
00:09:35.000 But as, like, a Christian family man, is that tough to shed a little bit like do people come up and like 1.00
00:09:41.000 Do the thing where you smoke the joint? No, no, but I will say this. I remember there was a period of my life
00:09:47.000 probably early 2000s where
00:09:52.000 I'm selling out because of half-baked And they're throwing pot on the stage and blah blah blah. 1.00
00:09:59.000 But I also found myself trying to appease an audience and ride that wave and make that money.
00:10:07.000 And that started getting very exhausting.
00:10:09.000 I can imagine.
00:10:10.000 Very exhausting.
00:10:12.000 I couldn't hold up.
00:10:13.000 Hey man, I'm not that guy.
00:10:16.000 It's a character.
00:10:17.000 Right.
00:10:18.000 At the end of the day, it was a character.
00:10:21.000 I never even listened to Grateful Dead.
00:10:24.000 I can't.
00:10:24.000 Right.
00:10:25.000 So... You just have that Northern European, the bags under your eyes, like I do. 1.00
00:10:30.000 Dude, my bags are horrible.
00:10:30.000 And then it's just some people like, oh, he must be on edibles.
00:10:33.000 It's just my genetics.
00:10:35.000 I also have heavy eyelids.
00:10:37.000 And I do have... What, did you weigh them?
00:10:39.000 How do you weigh eyelids?
00:10:40.000 I've never heard of that.
00:10:41.000 Have you heard of heavy eyelids?
00:10:43.000 Meaning, a compliment as a female will say, you have bedroom eyes. 1.00
00:10:49.000 No, I have sleepy eyes.
00:10:50.000 And I didn't realize this look, the judgment of people, until about eighth grade.
00:10:57.000 Sorry, I just realized how funny that is.
00:10:59.000 It's like such a backhanded, you have bedroom eyes.
00:11:02.000 I mean, not wife eyes.
00:11:04.000 You're very tired.
00:11:06.000 I would hear that from like older women. 1.00
00:11:08.000 I don't know what was going on.
00:11:08.000 Like, he's got bedroom eyes.
00:11:10.000 You have temporary relationship eyes.
00:11:12.000 Yes.
00:11:14.000 You have CPAP eyes.
00:11:17.000 You need to sit in an upright chair and have Vicks VapoRub every two hours.
00:11:22.000 No, okay, so you had these people coming in and you felt like you had to live up to that a little bit.
00:11:26.000 Yeah, and it was great.
00:11:27.000 I'm not gonna lie to you, it was great.
00:11:28.000 It was a great run.
00:11:31.000 I'd bring my friends on the road with me, and they were musicians, and we'd make up little pot songs, and it was awesome.
00:11:41.000 So you definitely played into it if you were writing pot songs.
00:11:43.000 Without a doubt!
00:11:45.000 I smoked my bum today!
00:11:48.000 I did mine yesterday!
00:11:49.000 That's why I live!
00:11:53.000 You went home and drank kale?
00:11:57.000 So I didn't... yeah, it definitely was... I've always been a God guy.
00:12:03.000 Right.
00:12:05.000 And I've always been... so that... and I had family and close friends coming to me going, Do you want to be the pot guy?
00:12:14.000 Like, is this the direction?
00:12:16.000 And it also had other movies, like Harold... The Coomer and... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:20.000 Eldon Kumar, yeah.
00:12:21.000 That was basically, hey, we want you to be in this.
00:12:23.000 I don't want to do all pot movies, man.
00:12:26.000 It's okay, we got a no-talent, Cal Penn.
00:12:29.000 We'll put him in there.
00:12:30.000 I don't know the guy, whatever.
00:12:32.000 No, no, you're nice.
00:12:34.000 You're nice, I'm not.
00:12:35.000 Yeah, no, that definitely... You're funnier than Cal Penn.
00:12:40.000 Let's just agree on that.
00:12:41.000 Oh boy, thank you.
00:12:41.000 Nicest thing anybody's ever said.
00:12:44.000 Another backhanded compliment.
00:12:45.000 Bed your minds.
00:12:46.000 You're funnier than Cal Penn.
00:12:48.000 Gallagher's got nothing on you, sir.
00:12:50.000 Although I did work with Gallagher too.
00:12:53.000 Oh, oh, Gallagher too!
00:12:54.000 The slightly smaller couch.
00:12:56.000 It's just the same thing, but in comedy clubs.
00:12:59.000 Right.
00:12:59.000 Not theaters, clubs.
00:13:01.000 You know, he went nuts, Gallagher.
00:13:02.000 He got all these patents and these inventions.
00:13:03.000 Have you ever heard him talk?
00:13:04.000 He got like 500 patents on like, I have a shower where you go in and it automatically turns on the water.
00:13:09.000 You're like, I saw that in SkyMall, Gallagher.
00:13:10.000 That's not a... He's also selling giant bowling pins to pay for those patents.
00:13:16.000 Do you want a huge couch?
00:13:17.000 Lily Tomlin's like, maybe.
00:13:19.000 Do you have a big phone so I can be a big operator?
00:13:24.000 Okay, so people said to you, they're like, do you want to be the pot guy?
00:13:28.000 And it did resonate me.
00:13:29.000 I'm like, you know what?
00:13:31.000 Yeah, you're right.
00:13:32.000 And actually, when things really changed for me, Stand-up wise and everything was it was 2008.
00:13:38.000 I would go to this bar in town Chester, New Jersey was a little country town middle nowhere and There was a we would do dad's night out so a couple dads in town and went there with drank him hanging out and then all of a sudden a woman goes Oh, you're the famous guy in town.
00:13:59.000 And I always try to down like, ah, no, I'm just a regular.
00:14:02.000 They're like, no, you're, but you're like the drug and blue guy. 0.99
00:14:07.000 Like, I can't bring my kids to you because you're filthy. 1.00
00:14:10.000 Yeah. 0.85
00:14:10.000 And I went, what? 0.85
00:14:12.000 I got so pissed at her.
00:14:13.000 And I said, what'd you say?
00:14:16.000 I said, did you ever see me live?
00:14:18.000 Right.
00:14:19.000 She went, no, but I just, I mean, everyone knows it.
00:14:22.000 And that was a defining moment.
00:14:27.000 Instead of being mad at her, I thought, well, how many other people feel this way and think that way about me?
00:14:34.000 Really, at the end of the day, I'm a family guy.
00:14:36.000 I'm a moral guy.
00:14:38.000 I'm a guy guy.
00:14:40.000 Why do people feel and think that way about me?
00:14:42.000 Because of this and that?
00:14:42.000 Because of the movie?
00:14:44.000 And that was the moment when, you know what?
00:14:46.000 I'm doing my own thing.
00:14:48.000 And it's going to take time, but I'm going to start talking about being a family guy.
00:14:52.000 And I'm going to start showing you how I care about family, and life, and God, and morals, and stuff like that.
00:15:02.000 And that was the beginning.
00:15:04.000 It was a lot of fear-based, too.
00:15:05.000 And ironically, that's more taboo than just being the stoner comic.
00:15:08.000 I mean, there aren't many comics doing what you're talking about now.
00:15:11.000 I mean, outside of there are people that label themselves Christian comics that aren't really.
00:15:15.000 But it's more taboo to talk about family and God than it is to be like, eh, I smoked a bong.
00:15:20.000 Which is bizarre.
00:15:21.000 Well, not only that, because people immediately put you in a lump sum.
00:15:26.000 I had someone, was it last night?
00:15:29.000 Two nights ago.
00:15:31.000 Yeah, two nights ago, he came to see me at a show, old-time comic.
00:15:37.000 He's like, hey, do you mind?
00:15:38.000 He's a couple years older than me.
00:15:41.000 He came in, he talked about his horrible time in life and blah, blah, blah, and he goes, you know, you look great and the stuff you're doing is amazing.
00:15:48.000 You're not like all religious and stuff, right?
00:15:53.000 But that persona, like if you just say, nah, you know, I do believe in this, and immediately, it's like politics.
00:16:01.000 It's like any category, oh, you're this, you're out.
00:16:06.000 Like you don't even, everything's been categorized.
00:16:09.000 So there definitely was a fear in me, Steve, where I'm like, oh my God, how am I gonna, am I gonna lose this whole thing?
00:16:16.000 And that lasted all the way until Covid.
00:16:22.000 Right.
00:16:22.000 And then I started putting out little Instagram videos.
00:16:25.000 You just decided you didn't care anymore?
00:16:27.000 No, I realized, A, we don't have control of our lives, whether we think we do or don't.
00:16:33.000 Right.
00:16:33.000 You know, you can lose your child, diagnose, whatever the scenario that snaps you into reality.
00:16:41.000 Chopped up by a 14-year-old if you're Cat Williams.
00:16:45.000 Remember that?
00:16:46.000 That'll snap you back in as a reality check.
00:16:52.000 And I went, if one or two people can see things differently on a higher level, then so be it.
00:17:00.000 Because it's game time now.
00:17:02.000 Not only am I not in control, but now we're not even in control of who decides how we're going to work, where you're going to work, what we're going to take away, what we're going to censor, how we're going to control your life.
00:17:15.000 You never realized.
00:17:16.000 You knew you were a slave.
00:17:18.000 But you didn't realize you were a slave until this showed up.
00:17:21.000 And that's I'm like, Oh, wow.
00:17:23.000 Yeah, it's it's life game time.
00:17:26.000 I never thought I'd see this in my life.
00:17:27.000 But it's game time.
00:17:28.000 So feel like protect you from destiny.
00:17:31.000 And it doesn't make any sense.
00:17:33.000 Say it again, Dave, you're protecting someone from destiny from being able to do anything.
00:17:37.000 Correct.
00:17:37.000 I mean, like, it doesn't make any sense to me.
00:17:39.000 Zero sense.
00:17:40.000 Rapper?
00:17:41.000 Yes.
00:17:41.000 Yes.
00:17:42.000 Those are great lyrics.
00:17:43.000 Destiny's Child.
00:17:48.000 But that's what it was.
00:17:49.000 It's like you're going to take away anybody's ability to be able to make a living, fulfill anything, or do anything with their life when anything could happen.
00:17:56.000 And that's what I hated about it.
00:17:58.000 Based on a vaccine where my entire life, I took every vaccine because my mom wanted me to, and they all had, you know, they all worked.
00:18:05.000 You know, I do bits even in my stand-up where it's like, yeah, if polio came out and everybody had noodley legs and was FDRing all over the house, you'd be like, these don't work too well, do they?
00:18:15.000 But now people keep getting COVID and it's like, well, you could have got, maybe your one leg works.
00:18:21.000 If you got the fifth, you'd have gotten the fifth booster.
00:18:21.000 That's pretty good.
00:18:24.000 Yeah.
00:18:24.000 Maybe you just need all Greg Abbotty.
00:18:26.000 That's the deal.
00:18:26.000 Right.
00:18:27.000 Which blows my mind because there was, we had a group of friends in New Jersey, we'd do coffee every day.
00:18:32.000 And there was one guy that would always say, well, I, I've been, I get all my shots and I'm just saying I'm the only one that hasn't got it.
00:18:42.000 And he would continue to say this and I'd always just keep quiet, well guess who got it and he got it worse than anyone else.
00:18:48.000 He's four shots in, boosters and all that.
00:18:51.000 And then I would never say, so...
00:18:55.000 Right.
00:18:56.000 You know, the guy's a little weird?
00:18:58.000 And that is, yeah.
00:19:00.000 I mean, you don't want to just point to the anecdotal if it flies in the face of the empirical,
00:19:05.000 but in this case it doesn't, and you also have bodily autonomy, or at least you're supposed
00:19:11.000 And I think people just label you anti-vax if you say, I don't know that this is as effective And it's not a vaccine.
00:19:17.000 You're talking about an mRNA augmentation.
00:19:19.000 Effectively, it's not an inoculation.
00:19:22.000 They changed the definition.
00:19:23.000 And just to ask the question, and does it bother... I want you to go... I can see the wheels turning in the sleepy eyes.
00:19:29.000 Bedroom eyes if you're a female. 0.90
00:19:32.000 Doesn't it bother you that comics should be the ones at the forefront?
00:19:35.000 This is a very clearly... It's a freedom issue.
00:19:39.000 Comics used to be at the forefront, but now they're silent.
00:19:42.000 Well...
00:19:43.000 I don't care about other comics.
00:19:46.000 I realized a long time ago, me trying to appease other comedians, they're not the ones paying for my bills, they're not the ones paying to come see me.
00:19:55.000 So peers, that means nothing to me.
00:19:59.000 The cool kids club, that's a big thing.
00:20:01.000 That's their club, they can enjoy it.
00:20:03.000 They can make their phone calls to me and spew whatever they think is real.
00:20:08.000 That's your deal, brother.
00:20:09.000 That ain't mine.
00:20:13.000 But I will say this, you're incredibly respected by that community too.
00:20:16.000 So, in other words, if a big name comic called you, like I remember hearing Jim Norton just talk about, you know, what a great storyteller you were.
00:20:21.000 Pete, your name always comes up, whenever we even have someone on the show.
00:20:26.000 Even if you're not seeking their approval, but that's why I think someone like you is so important, because it's very easy for them to dismiss an up-and-comer and go, they're not one of us.
00:20:35.000 It's very clear you're at that top tier, and you're off the reservation as far as things that are permissible to say.
00:20:41.000 Well, I just go on what I feel.
00:20:46.000 What I'm observing, and from what I observed, I truly to this day feel like that was the greatest voodoo trick in human history. 1.00
00:20:56.000 There's been amazing voodoo tricks and they still continue, but I knew or I felt This has to be put out. 0.99
00:21:09.000 How is nobody touching this?
00:21:11.000 And I'll tell you why.
00:21:13.000 Fear.
00:21:14.000 Fear is the most powerful tool in the world.
00:21:18.000 That is why the mass media, Hollywood, all of them, they're all fearing.
00:21:24.000 They're like, I may lose my job.
00:21:25.000 I may not get money or I may not do this.
00:21:28.000 I may lose gigs.
00:21:30.000 I sleep a lot better at night knowing what I did rather than Uh, you know what, maybe I should... I had a huge gig lined up.
00:21:40.000 Huge gig.
00:21:41.000 Arenas.
00:21:42.000 With other... and they were like, hey man, you gotta, you gotta... and I went... I love how all of this is distilled to... Yeah, yeah.
00:21:52.000 At the end of the day, it's like, hey, you want to go to a ballgame?
00:21:55.000 Yeah.
00:21:56.000 Oh, thank you.
00:21:57.000 Yeah.
00:21:57.000 Right.
00:21:58.000 I mean, how do you not see the lunacy in that?
00:22:01.000 How do you not see the lunacy that they brought us to?
00:22:01.000 Right.
00:22:06.000 You're a seal at a SeaWorld show.
00:22:09.000 Yes.
00:22:11.000 You want some education?
00:22:13.000 You do?
00:22:14.000 Okay.
00:22:15.000 Okay, now you can have it.
00:22:16.000 Wow.
00:22:17.000 So anyway, I'm getting off track here.
00:22:19.000 No, it's okay.
00:22:19.000 You're just hoping that instead of a seal it ends up like the killer whale in Blackfish.
00:22:22.000 Do you ever see that where the trainer is screwing with it?
00:22:25.000 And then the killer whale slowly takes the guy to the bottom and just pins him.
00:22:30.000 Well, the guy has a ponytail and deserves it.
00:22:32.000 Yes.
00:22:33.000 It was Steven Seagal.
00:22:34.000 I train orcas.
00:22:38.000 I've been doing it for 30 years.
00:22:39.000 Welcome to seagull world.
00:22:43.000 He was the orca.
00:22:45.000 Cause him a fish. 0.98
00:22:46.000 No, but it's, it's, it is, it's true.
00:22:48.000 And you're not even, before YouTube gets mad at this, because we always have to understand what their rules are, even though they're supposed to be a platform, not a publisher.
00:22:57.000 None of this is anti-vaccine.
00:22:58.000 This is you saying that people should have the right to make their decisions for their own body.
00:23:02.000 And it's crazy that that was seen as like, you were the, you know, the second coming of Hitler from some people.
00:23:07.000 I've never, I could not believe.
00:23:10.000 Grazie.
00:23:11.000 You know, and people would say, listen, my wife has had... You have to flick, sorry, he's fascinated by the lighting.
00:23:20.000 Look at the other way, this way.
00:23:21.000 No, no, I'll do it for you.
00:23:21.000 This way?
00:23:22.000 Well, I've never seen nothing like that.
00:23:24.000 Dave, you never... No, I was a drug addict.
00:23:27.000 I didn't use those lighters.
00:23:28.000 I'm not going to light it for you like... Yes, you are.
00:23:30.000 You seriously never saw a light like that?
00:23:31.000 I'm going to make you do this.
00:23:33.000 That's a huge power move.
00:23:33.000 This is a power move.
00:23:36.000 This is how I own you.
00:23:37.000 I'm too far in.
00:23:39.000 You gotta take a draw on it.
00:23:42.000 That's like John Wayne cowboy movie lighter. 0.97
00:23:45.000 Next thing you know he's gonna walk like a homo and everyone will ignore it and act like he's a badass. 1.00
00:23:49.000 I used to love that. 0.91
00:23:51.000 John Wayne walk?
00:23:52.000 I was like, how do people not realize that's so gay? 0.96
00:23:55.000 Oh John Wayne was gay. 0.98
00:23:56.000 Was he? 0.57
00:23:57.000 I think so.
00:23:58.000 Listen, Hollywood, everyone suspected Everyone's a suspect in this.
00:24:02.000 To me, everyone's on the list until I prove it.
00:24:04.000 I'm proving innocent.
00:24:05.000 Yeah, the guy said pretty progressive things for his time, and they're like, let's get rid of his airport.
00:24:10.000 Yes!
00:24:11.000 It's unreal. 0.96
00:24:13.000 The sh**iest airport that you can possibly... Yeah, it's like, I don't mind if you get rid of it just on that. 0.94
00:24:17.000 But to change the name based on the fact that he's like, I think Indians should play Indians, and you're like, it's Native American. 0.96
00:24:17.000 Right. 0.96
00:24:23.000 Right.
00:24:24.000 I think Indians should play India. 0.92
00:24:27.000 You saw the Richard Pryor piece, right?
00:24:30.000 Oh, I love that.
00:24:31.000 He's like, are you allowed to curse?
00:24:33.000 Yeah, yeah. 1.00
00:24:35.000 When he goes, John Wayne kicked ass. 1.00
00:24:41.000 John Wayne had cancer, kicked ass. 1.00
00:24:45.000 Had open heart surgery, kicked ass. 1.00
00:24:48.000 Had cancer again. 1.00
00:24:49.000 He said, get the fuck out of here. 1.00
00:24:55.000 Hey, Mike Epps take notes. 0.99
00:24:57.000 That's so much better than Mike Epps. 0.99
00:24:59.000 Get the f**k out of here, Depp. 0.99
00:25:01.000 Oh my god, Richard Pryor was hilarious. 0.99
00:25:03.000 I always wondered if he was around today and still, you know, lucid.
00:25:07.000 You always wonder, a lot of the guys who were sort of venerated as heroes, would they still have been, because back then being progressive or more liberal was seen as sort of counterculture, but today it's the opposite.
00:25:15.000 You wonder if they would have shifted with that.
00:25:17.000 Oh no, Carlin wouldn't have.
00:25:18.000 No, Dick Gregory didn't.
00:25:20.000 Dick Gregory was amazing.
00:25:22.000 I still watch him.
00:25:23.000 I still watch videos of him on Instagram and all that jazz.
00:25:26.000 I used to do a show with his nephew who toured with him until the day that he died and I mean Dick was incredible.
00:25:32.000 He didn't like, and he was like Pryor.
00:25:34.000 I don't think that would have changed at all.
00:25:35.000 No.
00:25:36.000 The times changed and he evolved with it.
00:25:39.000 And I think, and not evolved to it, he evolved with it to comment on it.
00:25:39.000 Right.
00:25:43.000 Right.
00:25:44.000 I think Pryor would have been that same way because Pryor, think about how fearless Pryor
00:25:48.000 was.
00:25:49.000 He gave away his Bill Cosby style, you know, at the time that he was kind of doing the
00:25:53.000 very clean, I want to be on Ed Sullivan sort of a thing, to go into clubs where he would
00:25:59.000 get booed and, you know, attacked for his actual, because he was introducing the street
00:26:04.000 to America that had never seen it before.
00:26:06.000 So I don't think he would be afraid to be who he is now.
00:26:06.000 Right.
00:26:09.000 Now I don't know how he would be handled.
00:26:11.000 I don't think Carlin, I would love to see what Carlin, because if you look at some of the stuff Carlin, I follow him on Instagram.
00:26:17.000 He's like 08, right, that he passed?
00:26:19.000 I think so, somewhere around there.
00:26:22.000 The things he was talking about were where the country's at.
00:26:26.000 He laid on the line back then, and it's all extremely relevant now.
00:26:30.000 Yes.
00:26:31.000 Like, really relevant.
00:26:33.000 It's pretty incredible.
00:26:33.000 Yeah.
00:26:34.000 We swam in sh**. 0.97
00:26:36.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:26:37.000 It's a big club and you ain't in it.
00:26:40.000 You and I ain't in it.
00:26:41.000 I think a lot of them didn't foresee because he would say all that and then Republicans and not realize that you have this incredible, just this authoritarian left wing today.
00:26:52.000 I don't necessarily know that they If they didn't see it coming, I maintain that, honestly, the parties haven't switched.
00:26:57.000 It's just people have woken up to it.
00:27:00.000 There's always been a power grab because there have been big government Democrats.
00:27:02.000 But JFK is very different from, let's say, a Joe Biden.
00:27:05.000 Oh.
00:27:06.000 It's been infiltrated.
00:27:08.000 Yeah.
00:27:09.000 I have family that's... Well, their brains are the same.
00:27:14.000 Effectively.
00:27:15.000 If you were to carbon date it.
00:27:17.000 But that's another thing.
00:27:18.000 People just join a team.
00:27:20.000 And they're in the team.
00:27:22.000 So it's like, for instance, I have family members who are like, I'm a Democrat because in 1960, you know, our union...
00:27:32.000 1960!
00:27:33.000 But that is part of the madness of what goes on today.
00:27:37.000 It's that you have to join a team, you join the team, and you stick with the team no matter what.
00:27:42.000 Like for instance, I'm a diehard Mets fan.
00:27:44.000 So years ago, two of the Mets, I think it was Jose Reyes and one of the relief pitchers, they get in trouble for beating their wives.
00:27:56.000 A man named Jose beat his wife?
00:27:59.000 I was shocked. 0.99
00:28:00.000 If my brother did that, or my best friend did that, I'm like, dude, what the f*** is wrong with you? 0.97
00:28:07.000 Right. 0.85
00:28:09.000 She was barking. 1.00
00:28:10.000 That's when you go out and you walk away and you call me stupid? 1.00
00:28:13.000 Not if you're Dominican. 1.00
00:28:18.000 So, with that said, I found myself going, no, You don't know what she was saying to him.
00:28:28.000 He's had a rough go at it.
00:28:29.000 And their culture is different than ours. 0.89
00:28:35.000 But that's when I caught myself going, whoa!
00:28:38.000 That's the power of when you join a team, your morals will go out the window just to defend your team.
00:28:46.000 That's where we're at now, and that's a dangerous place.
00:28:49.000 It's always interesting to me, because I mentioned that, but actually one of my first managers was Dominican.
00:28:53.000 I don't want to say his name here.
00:28:55.000 And I remember having these conversations, and it's sort of, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
00:29:01.000 The progressive left, they get their d*** in a ringer where they're saying, okay, all cultures are equal and they're pro-migrant of any kind, and then they have to defend the culture that a lot of these people—and I don't just mean Islamic terrorist culture.
00:29:11.000 I mean, in South America, much more machismo, traditional gender roles, and now they're saying, what's the LGBTQAIP, like Mexican Catholic voters, and it's backfiring on them! 0.97
00:29:21.000 They didn't expect this!
00:29:22.000 Well, here, two little things.
00:29:24.000 You said culture.
00:29:25.000 Every culture is—there's multi-cultures.
00:29:27.000 You can't lump it.
00:29:31.000 We went to Egypt last year.
00:29:31.000 Of course.
00:29:37.000 Went in there, not knowing what to expect.
00:29:39.000 Simple little concept.
00:29:40.000 My wife's a diehard animal lover.
00:29:45.000 Oh, Egypt's not the place for her? 0.99
00:29:46.000 Oh, she learned the hard way. 0.99
00:29:50.000 She walked by the Nile and was like, I smell s***. 0.98
00:29:52.000 Oh, that's the Nile? 0.98
00:29:53.000 Why are they torturing that animal?
00:29:55.000 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:29:57.000 So we're, you know, we're gonna go to the pyramids and you gotta get on the camel. 0.98
00:30:01.000 These camels clearly were like, oh, s***!
00:30:06.000 There's tourists? 0.97
00:30:07.000 We've had no tourists for two years?
00:30:09.000 I gotta carry some on my back again.
00:30:11.000 We get on these, I get on mine.
00:30:13.000 This thing gets up.
00:30:13.000 It's, it's got a, it's got a raw, I have the video.
00:30:19.000 It's raw, open wound from the top of its neck all the way down here.
00:30:24.000 What it is, I don't even know.
00:30:26.000 And there's all flies in it.
00:30:27.000 I'm like, oh, it's this guy.
00:30:31.000 So my guy, my guy's a little out of control.
00:30:34.000 And then my wife's camel gets up and they're both, they're not being good.
00:30:39.000 So if you go on a horseback ride, they're like, okay, you know, slow down.
00:30:43.000 These guys, they weren't saying, listen, camel, be nice.
00:30:46.000 They were taking sticks and like, how am I allowed to smack these things?
00:30:51.000 If any American pet lover were like, how dare you?
00:30:56.000 Hey man, this is how they do it.
00:30:59.000 Yeah.
00:31:00.000 So, you wouldn't march over here?
00:31:02.000 Like, how do you want to do that?
00:31:03.000 Are you going to march in the... I don't know.
00:31:03.000 Right.
00:31:06.000 Where's Sarah McLachlan? 1.00
00:31:08.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:31:09.000 Where's Sarah McLachlan? 1.00
00:31:10.000 That's what I'm saying.
00:31:11.000 Where is she?
00:31:12.000 They thought that Syrian refugees were going to come in and protest fair life milk with them. 0.92
00:31:15.000 In the humps of a camel?
00:31:16.000 Factory farming!
00:31:17.000 Like, what is the problem?
00:31:18.000 You mean you get more to yield? 0.98
00:31:20.000 Screw them! 1.00
00:31:21.000 The cows are assholes! 1.00
00:31:22.000 No, you're absolutely right. 1.00
00:31:23.000 It's like, look.
00:31:23.000 It really is.
00:31:25.000 And I don't want to say not all cultures are equal, meaning that inherently a culture is better, but not all cultures are the same.
00:31:31.000 And certainly here in the United States, some cultures can become a part of this melting pot, this mosaic, more effectively than others.
00:31:38.000 In other words, if you treat animals that way.
00:31:41.000 We had a place, I will tell you this, it was called Kenny Wong, where I grew up on the south shore of Montreal.
00:31:46.000 It was constantly getting health code violations because they were poisoning seagulls on the roof.
00:31:50.000 To them, it was free food.
00:31:52.000 These were first-generation migrants.
00:31:53.000 Yeah, the orange chicken, half the time it was seagull.
00:31:56.000 Venice Beach?
00:31:57.000 Yeah, well, it was called Kenny Wong, for crying out loud.
00:32:01.000 Oh, I'm sorry.
00:32:02.000 And it constantly was getting into trouble, because in their culture, it's like, well, look, make use of what you have, which also was resourceful. 1.00
00:32:09.000 But you have a bunch of angry white bitches in Canada. 1.00
00:32:11.000 Yes. 1.00
00:32:11.000 Dude, my dad used to eat possum and turtles. 1.00
00:32:14.000 My dad, right here in this country, he grew up in the 20s, 30s, and he used to tell me growing up, he'd go, I never had possum pie.
00:32:23.000 What?
00:32:24.000 Like, I hope not.
00:32:25.000 Is your dad from Lemony Snickets?
00:32:27.000 Yeah, but that's the way he... He'd be like, I want turtle soup and possum pie.
00:32:31.000 I'd be like, where did you grow...
00:32:38.000 Where were we as a country?
00:32:39.000 You're like a pet store.
00:32:41.000 Yeah, but that was survival.
00:32:43.000 It was Adrian's assistant.
00:32:45.000 And that's not that long ago.
00:32:48.000 No, they made use of what they had at that point.
00:32:50.000 And by the way, the show is Bruniverse is the podcast.
00:32:55.000 Somebody had to say it.
00:32:56.000 Somebody had to say it.
00:32:57.000 People can watch it on YouTube.
00:32:58.000 Yes.
00:32:58.000 It's killing.
00:32:59.000 Oh, yeah, I know.
00:33:00.000 I didn't expect it.
00:33:00.000 It's done incredibly well.
00:33:01.000 I was a little worried.
00:33:01.000 You have a great documentary, too, about your dad that I think people should watch.
00:33:04.000 You know what?
00:33:04.000 I should put that... You really should put that out there.
00:33:06.000 I should put it on YouTube.
00:33:07.000 Yeah.
00:33:08.000 It was... And I swear, Dave, the reason I did it was to put the light on him and the light on anyone That becomes a caretaker, because that's what it was.
00:33:24.000 It was becoming a caretaker, and it was the greatest thing I ever got to do in my whole life.
00:33:29.000 I begged God my whole life, don't leave this man alone.
00:33:34.000 Please don't leave this man alone.
00:33:35.000 There's a million stories like him.
00:33:37.000 I looked up to my dad so much because Ten brothers and sisters.
00:33:44.000 Grew up in Kentucky.
00:33:45.000 Dayton, Kentucky.
00:33:46.000 Not Dayton, Ohio.
00:33:47.000 Dayton, Kentucky.
00:33:48.000 Mom died when he was three.
00:33:50.000 Goes to World War II for three years. 0.57
00:33:52.000 All the brewers went to war.
00:33:54.000 All brewers came back.
00:33:55.000 Sure.
00:33:56.000 A little wacky.
00:33:58.000 Blessed.
00:33:59.000 He never complained, never bitched, never moaned.
00:34:02.000 Was there as a real man my whole life.
00:34:04.000 And when I bring him on the road, I knew he was dying.
00:34:09.000 I knew he was getting old.
00:34:10.000 And all I wanted to be I just wanted to be there for him and I got that opportunity and I thank God every day for it.
00:34:17.000 I got to hold him to his last breath.
00:34:19.000 It was the most incredible thing I could have ever done.
00:34:25.000 It was phenomenal.
00:34:28.000 What I loved about putting that documentary was And Steve, I didn't know your dad.
00:34:35.000 I met your dad, and there's something deeper when I meet someone.
00:34:41.000 I have a comedian in Open for me, Joe Sibb, and Joe Sibb doesn't even realize when he came to Open for me this one time, I gave him a shot, he brought his dad. 0.96
00:34:50.000 And he didn't realize, like, dude, unless they throw shit at you tonight, you're already in. 0.87
00:34:55.000 The fact that out of all the people you could have brought to the show, you brought your dad? 0.98
00:35:00.000 Well, you know what, and also, I appreciate you saying that because Dave knows this, you know, Darren, my dad, first off, he's been on the show, he's wickedly funny.
00:35:07.000 Really funny.
00:35:08.000 I always say he's like me, but more affable.
00:35:10.000 Like, everyone likes him, you know, he doesn't have the low-grade irritation that I constantly have, but he's the- It's true.
00:35:16.000 It's true, he's been, he's far more likable.
00:35:18.000 But he's been the booker on the show for a long time because we had a booker who was a booker for The View and Meredith, and bookers just kept dropping out because they were saying people are afraid to book this show.
00:35:27.000 And so I said, Dad, you're a people person, like, do you think you could?
00:35:30.000 And then, you know, he was getting these big names on.
00:35:33.000 And people on the left, that's one of their attacks is like, oh, you have your dad working for you?
00:35:37.000 I'm like, Yeah!
00:35:39.000 It's a family business.
00:35:39.000 Isn't it great?
00:35:40.000 I couldn't be more grateful.
00:35:41.000 And he's a great guy.
00:35:42.000 So it really genuinely doesn't bother me.
00:35:45.000 And I'm glad to hear that you had a relationship like that because everyone often thinks that comics are broken and a broken family life and household.
00:35:51.000 You're just funny.
00:35:52.000 Our family life was tremendous.
00:35:54.000 I had the greatest childhood in the world.
00:35:57.000 My dad never, and I always look at him because, and the documentary's called More Than Me.
00:36:03.000 I honestly don't even know where you can find it.
00:36:05.000 But I feel like I should just put it on.
00:36:07.000 Get it on YouTube!
00:36:08.000 After this, people will want to see it.
00:36:09.000 Yeah, I promise you I'll put it on YouTube.
00:36:12.000 It really is something people should see.
00:36:14.000 It helps them!
00:36:15.000 Yeah, it also shows the connection you should have with your father.
00:36:18.000 If you still have your parents, it shows how important that connection is and how you can be there for them.
00:36:24.000 So many people think it's a burden, and it's like, And also, as somebody who doesn't have their dad, you're very lucky, you know, like, if you still have your dad, seriously, thank your lucky stars, because it's something that you... It's so wonderful to have your family, and it's great that your dad books your show.
00:36:39.000 B***h, b***h, b***h. No. 0.93
00:36:41.000 No, dad. 0.99
00:36:42.000 No.
00:36:43.000 Whatever.
00:36:44.000 No, dad.
00:36:45.000 Whatever.
00:36:46.000 Why don't you go call your pops?
00:36:48.000 Oh, you can't.
00:36:49.000 You can't.
00:36:50.000 You did when you were a teenager.
00:36:52.000 Probably didn't even want you.
00:36:53.000 you all I know all I know is 22 years all I know genuinely is if your dad
00:37:08.000 would be around today he would be incredibly disappointed I know!
00:37:13.000 That was what my mom said just before she killed herself.
00:37:17.000 That's what her suicide meant.
00:37:20.000 Anyways.
00:37:21.000 It said it's all your fault.
00:37:23.000 It was a reverse Goodwill hunting.
00:37:24.000 I miss your dad because it's mainly you.
00:37:26.000 PANIC! 1.00
00:37:28.000 LAUGHS Oh damn 1.00
00:37:32.000 Agent Orange is what your dad called his shotgun. 1.00
00:37:34.000 His dad, I reached out to his dad and then his dad watched my stand-up and became a fan.
00:37:44.000 He was like, I really liked your comedy, I want you to meet... so that's how I even met him was because his dad was the booker.
00:37:50.000 If you're going through a typical Hollywood booker, I don't think I ever would have met him.
00:37:54.000 Because it was somebody who actually took the time to be like, he's right for the show.
00:37:57.000 No, he really cares, and I will say this too, I don't know if it was like this with your dad, but my dad was a very, very high-level hockey player, and he'll never talk about it.
00:38:06.000 I brag on him, and right now he's probably embarrassed if he's watching the feed.
00:38:11.000 He was on scholarship at U of M, and back then they only drafted Canadians, and Americans go to this kind of summer training camp, and he was picked for that for the New York Rangers.
00:38:18.000 But he had a dad who really discouraged him, like, chasing a hockey puck around.
00:38:21.000 So he actually just didn't lie his way, but charmed his way to the corner office at EF Hutton
00:38:27.000 and then Dean Witter and kind of left hockey by the wayside.
00:38:30.000 And I think because he could have been so good at hockey, and he was, and his dad discouraged him,
00:38:36.000 he decided that he wasn't going to push me into hockey, but whatever it was that I was passionate about,
00:38:40.000 he would be supportive of me.
00:38:41.000 And that to me is something I'm incredibly grateful for.
00:38:44.000 Steve, the moment I told my parents, because it was a defining moment,
00:38:51.000 I I was, I was, I started stand-up in 85, high school.
00:38:59.000 And I started going to open mic, eh, once in a while.
00:39:02.000 And then I wanted to be an actor.
00:39:04.000 I wanted to be in movies and acting.
00:39:06.000 And I went to community college.
00:39:08.000 And then while I was there, I'd go there and do stand-up once in a while.
00:39:10.000 But then my family moved to Florida.
00:39:11.000 My parents moved to Florida.
00:39:12.000 I think it's a law if you grow up in Florida.
00:39:15.000 Alright, we worked here 62, let's go to Florida! 0.96
00:39:18.000 Crush it for ten years and die of a stroke.
00:39:21.000 Don't use your turn signals. 0.97
00:39:23.000 Right.
00:39:23.000 And I will be dead by then.
00:39:25.000 If you stay in Michigan, the governor just kills you. 1.00
00:39:27.000 Yes! 0.99
00:39:28.000 It's best to go down south.
00:39:29.000 Toward New York.
00:39:31.000 Okay, so they moved to Florida.
00:39:31.000 To eat yourself.
00:39:32.000 So they moved to Florida, and I finally realized I have to party and blah blah blah, searching for my life.
00:39:37.000 I went, you know what?
00:39:41.000 I'm doing this.
00:39:42.000 And I was so nervous, and I just came in front of my parents.
00:39:46.000 I went, listen.
00:39:47.000 I'm doing stand-up comedy the rest of my life.
00:39:49.000 I don't know what to tell you.
00:39:51.000 My mom was like, oh my god.
00:39:52.000 My dad said, you know what?
00:39:57.000 You go do that.
00:39:58.000 You're young.
00:39:59.000 You got the passion.
00:40:01.000 This man never said more than 10 words in his whole life to me.
00:40:05.000 He goes, you go do that.
00:40:07.000 I never had that opportunity.
00:40:09.000 So you go do that.
00:40:11.000 And if you find yourself 30 years old and you didn't make it, eh, whatever, you'll find a job.
00:40:17.000 He goes, go do it.
00:40:18.000 And that's all I needed.
00:40:20.000 That's all I needed.
00:40:22.000 And that was the beginning of it.
00:40:26.000 A father is extremely powerful as a man.
00:40:34.000 And now we diminish it and just sort of, we consider it the patriarchy, as though it's a bad thing.
00:40:34.000 Raising a child.
00:40:38.000 Like, I understand if patriarchy means that women are second-class citizens, like Saudi Arabia, but patriarchy meaning that you need a strong father figure, that it can make or break somebody. 0.97
00:40:46.000 Absolutely.
00:40:47.000 We've taken beautiful things and turned them into ugly things.
00:40:51.000 That's what we've done a lot.
00:40:52.000 That's an agenda.
00:40:53.000 Yeah.
00:40:53.000 Listen, when I was dancing around the Hollywood scene, Every single executive, ABC, NBC, every single one of them, CBS.
00:41:05.000 I saw them when they walked in the room, the decision makers.
00:41:09.000 Let's just say they weren't really family men.
00:41:12.000 No.
00:41:13.000 And they really were pushing a different agenda for what I wanted to put out there.
00:41:21.000 And that's when I realized, too, this isn't just television.
00:41:25.000 This goes into magazines and everything else.
00:41:27.000 Who runs the show?
00:41:29.000 Who makes the decisions?
00:41:31.000 They're all Angry, anti-family, anti-moral, anti-faith people.
00:41:41.000 And it is staggering.
00:41:41.000 Right.
00:41:43.000 And, you know, I would tell friends and all that, and they'd be like, oh, you're just jealous.
00:41:47.000 You're just pissed because you didn't get it.
00:41:49.000 Like, no.
00:41:50.000 But you did, though.
00:41:52.000 I did.
00:41:52.000 You did.
00:41:53.000 I did it on my own.
00:41:54.000 I got everything I wanted.
00:41:55.000 You're a comedian who was on SNL, and look, that doesn't get any higher than that.
00:42:00.000 I got everything I wanted to do.
00:42:01.000 Right.
00:42:02.000 You know?
00:42:02.000 I mean, not today, but back then.
00:42:03.000 Yeah, yeah, when you're on with, yeah.
00:42:06.000 Colin and Norm.
00:42:07.000 Yeah, not today when you're next to members of the group.
00:42:09.000 Norm is amazing, by the way.
00:42:10.000 Norm is crazy.
00:42:11.000 I love your story about, okay, hold on, but I don't want to get back to, but I love your story about Norm with Chris Kattan.
00:42:17.000 Oh, can you tell that one?
00:42:18.000 Of course I can.
00:42:19.000 Okay.
00:42:19.000 For people who don't know, if you haven't seen it, he's told it before, but you may not be familiar.
00:42:22.000 Chris, I apologize now.
00:42:24.000 It's just one of those stories.
00:42:25.000 I feel bad for Chris now, but it's one of those Rod Serling.
00:42:34.000 Norm would... Norm, like I said, I got to watch all the sets at the gala at the St.
00:42:42.000 Denis Theatre.
00:42:42.000 My mom did wardrobe and costumes for the Just for Laughs.
00:42:45.000 Norm was when I decided I wanted to do stand-up comedy.
00:42:48.000 I started writing stand-up at 13 or 14, but it was because Norm did a joke, and I still remember to this day, it was 1993, maybe 94, and it was about... because everyone else was going up kind of, you know, short, tight set, right?
00:43:02.000 And then Norm went up and he did this long workaround joke.
00:43:05.000 I read in the news that this guy killed his family and chopped them up and put them in a devil bag because the devil told him to.
00:43:15.000 What if the devil just took off his mask and said, hey, it's me, Bob!
00:43:22.000 But the funny part to me was after he goes, Oh Bob, I got my family here in a duffel bag.
00:43:27.000 Oh, that's one for you, Bob. That's one for you.
00:43:30.000 And I said, what is this? You know, I didn't know what it was.
00:43:33.000 And, uh, talk about a guy who just had balls of steel.
00:43:33.000 Right.
00:43:36.000 Dude, I saw him get kicked out of the state of Iowa.
00:43:40.000 That was my favorite story.
00:43:42.000 Was it you and Attell?
00:43:43.000 No, it was me.
00:43:45.000 Oh, I love that one.
00:43:45.000 That was a different one.
00:43:46.000 The Attell one?
00:43:47.000 Oh, man.
00:43:48.000 Oh, boy, I got schooled by Attell.
00:43:49.000 Well, if you don't want to get Chris Kattan, if you don't want to get Abhishek, you can tell any Norm story you want, because he was my white whale.
00:43:54.000 He was supposed to come on the show.
00:43:55.000 I didn't know about his health problem.
00:43:56.000 Oh, okay, okay.
00:43:57.000 So whatever you want to tell.
00:43:58.000 I love all those.
00:44:00.000 All right, so the Kattan one. 0.83
00:44:02.000 There's an Iowa one where he gets kicked out.
00:44:04.000 It's pretty damn funny.
00:44:07.000 So we're doing the show, and Pamela Anderson is on, and this is like 96, 97, something like that, and we're doing a Twilight Zone sketch.
00:44:22.000 And while we're doing the Twilight, now, Chris, And again, at that time, we're all just trying to make it, and I totally understand that.
00:44:32.000 Not to diminish Chris at all, he's a huge fan of manga.
00:44:35.000 Not at all, good human being, blah blah blah.
00:44:37.000 So Chris, every time there was a hot chick on, he'd write scenes, naturally, to make out with them, right?
00:44:37.000 Groundbreaking.
00:44:45.000 Naturally.
00:44:46.000 So, with that said... I'm sorry, I don't mean to make your life hard, I'm sorry.
00:44:59.000 Yeah, that's how he probably reacted when Burt Reynolds came in.
00:45:02.000 So with that said, now we're doing the sketches.
00:45:06.000 I've got a good show.
00:45:07.000 I've got a go-boy coming in.
00:45:10.000 I've got Tommy Lee.
00:45:11.000 Tommy Lee's telling me stories that are horrifying about Miley Cruz.
00:45:19.000 We're about to do the sketch and I think Chris got cut out pretty much of everything.
00:45:24.000 So he's a little pissed and Norm, which by the way, Norm right up front, as soon as I got Sunday Live, 1995, he took the new cast.
00:45:34.000 We were all new.
00:45:38.000 And he goes, hey, listen, don't put me in any of your gay sketches. 0.97
00:45:47.000 I do the update, and if I'm going to be in a sketch, it means don't put me in any of your gay sketches. 1.00
00:45:55.000 Gay not meaning homosexuality. 1.00
00:45:57.000 Gay meaning like your sketch is stupid. 1.00
00:46:00.000 Right. 1.00
00:46:01.000 Right. 0.98
00:46:01.000 Don't put me in any of your gay sketches. 0.98
00:46:07.000 Now you gotta stand something. 0.99
00:46:09.000 Now we're doing a read-through, alright?
00:46:11.000 So on Wednesdays you have to do a read-through.
00:46:12.000 And Norm is reading the Twilight Zone sketch.
00:46:17.000 And he's not... he's eating a carrot.
00:46:18.000 He's like, imagine if you will another place in time.
00:46:22.000 And then he said, he's just half-assing it because he knows.
00:46:31.000 He's seasoned.
00:46:31.000 He knows this is gonna make it.
00:46:34.000 So he's not selling it.
00:46:35.000 So it gets picked up and even I'm like, wow!
00:46:40.000 I don't know how, wow, he'd even try.
00:46:42.000 Okay, so now we're at rehearsals and Catan is non-stop.
00:46:47.000 God, you're gonna even try?
00:46:49.000 Jesus, Norm, you don't even sound like the guy.
00:46:53.000 And Norm... That's a really good Chris Catan.
00:46:55.000 I never really thought of a good Chris Catan impression until you did it.
00:46:58.000 Norm never...
00:47:01.000 Like, he'll just cut you down.
00:47:05.000 I saw him say things to other cast members like, whoa, dude, you don't care.
00:47:11.000 But he's not saying anything to Chris, which is...
00:47:14.000 A little weird for me.
00:47:16.000 Like we're all, me and Colin, Colin's like, I don't know, maybe he's uh, I don't know, maybe he found God, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I'm not saying anything.
00:47:24.000 And then now we're at the dress show, and Catan's non-stop, non-stop.
00:47:29.000 God, Norm, sketch, man, try to sell it, it's the only thing I'm in, God, I'm fine.
00:47:34.000 Now we do the dress show.
00:47:35.000 The dress show is Saturday Night Live, the crowd's there, they film it, God forbid something happens, they have something in the can.
00:47:44.000 20 seconds!
00:47:46.000 And Catan starts like, he doesn't even sound like him. 0.94
00:47:49.000 He's horrible.
00:47:50.000 And we're in the crowd. 0.95
00:47:52.000 That particular sketch is in the crowd.
00:47:55.000 So everyone's listening.
00:47:57.000 And he's just rattling Norm.
00:48:00.000 And I can't believe he's doing this in front of a crowd.
00:48:04.000 And I can't believe that Norm's not dishing it back.
00:48:07.000 And then the dress, the camera's on, and he's like, yeah, imagine if you will.
00:48:13.000 Another place in time. 1.00
00:48:14.000 I'm like, oh, fuck. 0.99
00:48:17.000 This is a sketch I'm not gonna be in, he just half-assed it. 0.99
00:48:20.000 Right.
00:48:21.000 Now, in between the shows, you gotta go in Loren's office to see what made it.
00:48:27.000 It made it.
00:48:27.000 Not only did the sketch make it, but it's like before update.
00:48:31.000 Yeah.
00:48:31.000 And to get in before update, that's the golden, that's the shot.
00:48:37.000 Now we're about to go live.
00:48:40.000 One minute, Jim Breuer, Molly Shannon, Chris Kattan, Norm Macdonald, Pamela Anderson, please get to the set.
00:48:47.000 We get a set, make up, and I'm sitting there like, what?
00:48:52.000 What is gonna go down, right?
00:48:53.000 And Catan starts again!
00:48:55.000 That's English.
00:48:57.000 Oh my God, Norm!
00:49:00.000 And we're live this time!
00:49:01.000 You can't even try- Oh my God, Pamela, you're so hot, you're so sexy, you're so beautiful, I love you, oh my God, if Tommy Lee ever- 30 seconds!
00:49:09.000 Oh my God, Norm, we got 30 seconds!
00:49:11.000 20 seconds and I'm looking at Norm.
00:49:17.000 Because in my mind at that time, if that was me, I would have knocked him out. 0.59
00:49:21.000 I would have went violent.
00:49:21.000 Right.
00:49:22.000 Yeah.
00:49:23.000 And they go, 15 seconds!
00:49:27.000 And Norm's smoking a cigarette. 0.98
00:49:30.000 And he goes, "'Cause, yeah, why don't you just tell everyone you're gay?" 0.96
00:49:32.000 He goes, that's why he's so angry. 0.98
00:49:35.000 He goes, he's doing a class, and the minute you say you're gay, no one cares. 0.93
00:49:39.000 It's like, you're gay, but that's the only real—TEN SECONDS! 1.00
00:49:42.000 Every hat chick that comes in here, you want to, like, eat her head, make her kiss her head, but it's because you're gay! 1.00
00:49:48.000 Just say you're gay! 1.00
00:49:50.000 FIVE SECONDS! 0.90
00:49:50.000 And he's like, "[bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep ble He murders! 0.90
00:50:13.000 To this day, if you watch that show and that sketch, you'll see my shoulders doing this because I'm uncontrollably laughing at what just went down.
00:50:23.000 I have so many moments like that on SNL that were so much better than the real life stuff.
00:50:31.000 Oh, yeah.
00:50:32.000 Well, that's kind of what podcasting has done.
00:50:34.000 The stuff that you wanted to make, you're like, oh, if only this had made air.
00:50:38.000 And now it can.
00:50:39.000 Dude, my father.
00:50:39.000 Yes.
00:50:41.000 So when I first got Sound Night Live, I fly him up from Florida.
00:50:45.000 He's already pissed because he brought a case of Bush Light.
00:50:49.000 This is pre 9-11.
00:50:51.000 He bought it for like $8.
00:50:52.000 He's all excited.
00:50:53.000 He's gonna go sign it live.
00:50:54.000 And my father, my kid's on television.
00:50:57.000 He's on Saturday.
00:50:58.000 He's crushing at the Elks Club with these stories.
00:51:00.000 Crushing.
00:51:01.000 So now I bring him up and it's the first show of Saturday Night Live and I get cut.
00:51:07.000 Yeah.
00:51:08.000 And whatever.
00:51:10.000 I don't care.
00:51:10.000 I know I got a bunch of more shows.
00:51:13.000 I'm contracted for nine episodes. 0.98
00:51:16.000 My dad's World War II vet, garbage man, he would never say garbage. 0.98
00:51:21.000 He was too embarrassed. 0.99
00:51:22.000 And I said, Dad, don't ever be embarrassed of what you are, man.
00:51:26.000 I look up to you as a man.
00:51:27.000 So he'd always say, sanitation.
00:51:30.000 So we go to SNL, and he's nonstop. 0.99
00:51:35.000 This show sucked.
00:51:39.000 Why'd your sketch get cut? 1.00
00:51:42.000 This show sucks. 0.99
00:51:44.000 Who runs this show? 1.00
00:51:45.000 It sucks. 0.99
00:51:46.000 I'm like, Dad, it's okay. 0.97
00:51:47.000 I'm going to be on many, many other shows.
00:51:50.000 Now it's the after show.
00:51:51.000 I'm drunk.
00:51:52.000 I'm getting high with Blues Traveler.
00:51:55.000 I made it.
00:51:57.000 This is the greatest thing ever.
00:51:59.000 We're about to leave.
00:52:00.000 It's probably about three, four in the morning.
00:52:01.000 I go, Dad, I want you to say hello to Lorne Michaels.
00:52:06.000 He goes, Lorne, what is that, Jewish?
00:52:09.000 What is Lorne?
00:52:11.000 Lorne, English? 0.99
00:52:12.000 I said, don't give a s***! 0.99
00:52:15.000 Who's asking? 0.99
00:52:17.000 Come see a little Lorne.
00:52:18.000 My father!
00:52:21.000 But that's what he is.
00:52:22.000 So we meet Lorne.
00:52:25.000 My hand to God, I am not exaggerating this.
00:52:29.000 I go, Lorne, do you mind meeting my dad?
00:52:31.000 I'd love to meet your father.
00:52:33.000 I go, Dad, this is Lorne.
00:52:36.000 Lorne, this is James, my dad.
00:52:41.000 Your son's talented.
00:52:42.000 My dad goes, my hand to God, he goes, you know, I flew up from Florida to see his show. 0.96
00:52:49.000 Sucked. 0.99
00:52:51.000 Went out on the Jimmy Sketch, got cut, show sucked. 1.00
00:52:55.000 Lorne, I went, holy shit. 1.00
00:53:00.000 Lauren was a pro. 0.99
00:53:01.000 He goes, well, next week, Chevy Chase already inquired.
00:53:04.000 He goes, next week? 1.00
00:53:05.000 Who gives a shit? 0.99
00:53:07.000 I mean, what happened tonight? 1.00
00:53:08.000 Because the show sucked! 0.97
00:53:10.000 And Lauren was like... I love that he wouldn't let him go. 0.96
00:53:11.000 No, he wouldn't let him go!
00:53:12.000 He was trying to be courteous, but he was like, no, I want answers.
00:53:15.000 What happened tonight? 0.94
00:53:17.000 It sucked! 0.99
00:53:18.000 Did you make these decisions? 1.00
00:53:20.000 Because you suck! 1.00
00:53:21.000 I brought $8 of Bush Light. 1.00
00:53:22.000 Bush Light!
00:53:23.000 Come on! 1.00
00:53:25.000 You suck! 1.00
00:53:26.000 None of that Milwaukee ice s**t. I sprung for it. 1.00
00:53:29.000 I went ape s**t. Dude, and that, as embarrassed as I was at that moment, as time went on, I couldn't believe what a, what a damn hero and a real man he was. 0.97
00:53:43.000 Yeah, because that's your first episode and greatest story I've heard of SNL so far. 0.98
00:53:50.000 Who? 0.97
00:53:51.000 I don't think anyone's ever went up to Lorne Michaels and said, your show sucked. 0.97
00:53:55.000 Ever. 0.96
00:53:56.000 And you took him out. 0.99
00:53:57.000 It sucked. 0.99
00:53:58.000 Yeah. 0.99
00:53:58.000 Dude! 0.99
00:54:00.000 That's, I love your dad.
00:54:02.000 He's more like my, you know, we'll sit down and talk with my dad before, I know we have to go after this, but he has more stories like that, too.
00:54:08.000 Just my dad is very tactful about it.
00:54:10.000 My dad is, you know, he's so likable, he's nice, he's charming.
00:54:13.000 And I will tell you this, when I grew up, he would find a way, he could find your weak point and cut you down so deeply in a nice way, where it doesn't really matter what you were saying.
00:54:24.000 Like, I think I said, you know, one time when I was a teenager, once ever, like, oh, I hate you.
00:54:29.000 He said something like, yeah, that cyst isn't quite going down like you thought it would on your nose, is it?
00:54:33.000 You know, that kind of thing, where it's like, oh my god, this is my dad, and he's worse than any comic I've ever seen.
00:54:39.000 He would just pick your weak point, and I've watched him get into it with executives, with, I won't say the names, but politicians, national level politicians, and their handlers here.
00:54:48.000 There is something with maybe just being at that age where you just decide, I don't care.
00:54:54.000 And I think I started that early on because I watched him and I didn't realize I couldn't get away with it.
00:54:57.000 I was like, I'm gonna be like him.
00:54:59.000 And I made a lot of enemies.
00:55:01.000 Let me ask you this before we go to the Mug Club exclusive.
00:55:03.000 And I think it's cigarsdaily.com.
00:55:05.000 Enter in the promo code CROWDER.
00:55:06.000 Not an official sponsor, but you'll get 15% off.
00:55:08.000 It's a good cigar, isn't it?
00:55:09.000 Yeah, it was.
00:55:10.000 That's a little cigar, too, so you don't have to worry if you want to try one out.
00:55:12.000 This is a good medium-strength cigar.
00:55:14.000 There's also Swisher if you're a guy.
00:55:15.000 Yes, there's also Swisher.
00:55:16.000 I don't think they sell those.
00:55:18.000 For the record, I wish this was like a nine-hour show.
00:55:18.000 Maybe they do.
00:55:21.000 Oh, we can go as long as you want.
00:55:22.000 We're going to talk about Hollywood pedophiles on the Mug Club thing.
00:55:25.000 We can't do that on YouTube.
00:55:27.000 If you have to be, let me ask you this, because you've done so, and I'm not saying this to shine your ass, but you've done so much, okay, SNL and you've done the stuff with Dave Chappelle, but you've also done these specials, so many specials, and you've sold out these huge theaters, and then now you're in this chapter where you sort of You know, inadvertently became controversial.
00:55:45.000 Again, for people who don't know, go watch some of his commentary and watch his specials.
00:55:50.000 And it's nothing that should be offensive, but to some people it was.
00:55:53.000 If you had to pick, considering how multifaceted your career has been, what would you want to, how would you want to be remembered?
00:55:59.000 If people say Jim Brewer is, what would you want that to be?
00:56:04.000 To be dead honest, I'd rather my kids be Learned from me as a, that I was a hero for them.
00:56:19.000 And then I was a hero for my wife and family.
00:56:22.000 As far as the rest of the world, um, I've always, I, I feel like 90% of the time I put a good human vibe out there.
00:56:37.000 95% of the time.
00:56:41.000 As far as what they remember, I can't control that.
00:56:46.000 Just doing the right thing.
00:56:49.000 That guy always did his own thing.
00:56:51.000 That guy always just, he stuck to the program, his own program.
00:56:55.000 But I'd rather see that more in my kids, to give them a little, like what my dad did for me.
00:57:01.000 And my mom, too.
00:57:02.000 And my mom.
00:57:03.000 I think you'll be that, though, for also a lot of other people's kids who don't necessarily have a dad.
00:57:07.000 I will say this, the way I see you is, as someone who, again, I was a kid.
00:57:13.000 He doesn't have a dad.
00:57:14.000 We're back on that old string he's playing on.
00:57:16.000 Let's put it on you again, Dave!
00:57:19.000 Oh, I don't have a dad!
00:57:21.000 My mom killed herself!
00:57:22.000 Okay, we get it.
00:57:23.000 Can you hear me?
00:57:26.000 You start singing Amy Grant songs?
00:57:30.000 Oh my God, is she still around?
00:57:31.000 I think, in some capacity. 1.00
00:57:33.000 I thought I was going to marry her and I wanted to suck face with her so bad. 0.99
00:57:37.000 Yeah, now you're Kris Kitten. 1.00
00:57:38.000 Oh, Amy Grant's so sexy and I want to suck face with Amy Grant. 1.00
00:57:40.000 Isn't she good looking? 1.00
00:57:41.000 I loved Amy Grant.
00:57:43.000 Yeah, she was cute. 1.00
00:57:45.000 But I will say this.
00:57:46.000 I see you as an unwilling hero.
00:57:48.000 An unwilling sort of, I guess, ambassador.
00:57:53.000 The reason that so many people came in and supported you.
00:57:55.000 is because there aren't many people saying what you're saying.
00:58:00.000 There are talking heads who say it, but they say that every day.
00:58:03.000 And so it really registered as genuine where you just said, I think this vaccine thing forcing people, it's a bridge
00:58:09.000 too far.
00:58:09.000 And sometimes the best sort of leaders or ambassadors, examples,
00:58:13.000 are those who never really wanted, like George Washington said,
00:58:16.000 I shouldn't be president for that long.
00:58:18.000 They wanted him to stay there. 0.98
00:58:19.000 And so I'm not shining your ass, but I'm just saying you're an example for people who aren't 0.95
00:58:22.000 just your kids are most important, but there are a lot of kids out there, you know, like 0.98
00:58:27.000 They're like Mitch Hedberg babies.
00:58:28.000 There'll be a lot of Jim Brewer babies in the next generation. 0.99
00:58:30.000 And I want that.
00:58:31.000 I want to see more.
00:58:32.000 My favorite saying in the world, and I won't say who said this quote, only because people judge.
00:58:39.000 They'll be like, who said that?
00:58:40.000 And then they'll find whatever bad, whatever. 1.00
00:58:43.000 Oh, he looked at his penis when he was six years old. 1.00
00:58:46.000 Whatever. 1.00
00:58:47.000 Whatever they'll find.
00:58:49.000 I love the saying, this is one of the sayings that changed my life, one person can change the whole world for the better as long as they don't give a damn who takes the credit.
00:59:03.000 And that was a, that moment and just my friend Larry's like, bro.
00:59:09.000 Just walk the walk.
00:59:11.000 Let people say, I like the way that guy walks.
00:59:15.000 Trying to think about this.
00:59:15.000 He walks the walk.
00:59:17.000 Yeah.
00:59:17.000 You can talk the talk all you want.
00:59:19.000 Walk the walk.
00:59:21.000 Yeah.
00:59:22.000 You want to be someone who lived it.
00:59:23.000 And I'm gladly taking that role as long as it's aligned with where it should be.
00:59:33.000 Whether it's God, whatever it is.
00:59:37.000 I'm such a sort of wannabe detective.
00:59:39.000 I'm trying to think of who the singer is.
00:59:40.000 I figured it out.
00:59:41.000 It's not a singer.
00:59:42.000 You said the person who said it.
00:59:43.000 I know who said it.
00:59:44.000 No, you don't.
00:59:45.000 It's Bill Burr.
