Transcript
00:00:00.000
I lost a spelling bee to a girl in fifth grade who got pregnant.
00:00:08.380
This girl named Helena, Big Helena, I think was her full name, bro.
00:00:32.300
If I see a hair pop out, I light it on fire in front of the other hair.
00:00:39.480
For me, it's like Band of Brothers, I feel like.
00:00:41.560
If one goes down, I want to send in Matt Damon to save it,
00:00:48.480
It's gotten to the point where I need him so much.
00:00:51.040
But the funny thing is, you're known for your cool hair,
00:01:03.940
And you have good hair, but I didn't know you had any trouble with it.
00:01:06.700
Yeah, so you don't think it, but when you're living with the hair,
00:01:08.900
then you see the crop, you see what's going on.
00:01:10.780
Oh, dude, you see some fucking forest between the trees.
00:01:15.500
I used to look in the mirror and go, what the fuck?
00:01:24.420
Hair is a great one, because the people that have hair,
00:01:29.580
These fucking bums, and I'm like daintily drying my hair with a napkin.
00:01:34.900
Meanwhile, they're like rubbing a rock on it every morning,
00:01:40.900
Like you see bums, not bums, whatever they're called.
00:01:45.540
I sleep under the freeway, and they look cooler.
00:01:49.240
I wanted to do Pimp My Bum, where you go there,
00:01:54.000
You get some kids to clean them up for college credit,
00:01:57.060
and then they try to get them a job or something.
00:02:00.820
I could see you in Sedona buying a bunch of turquoise.
00:02:10.760
and she's definitely turning into like a real turquoise junkie.
00:02:18.960
My mom has a squash blossom necklace from Gilbert Ortega's.
00:02:24.940
and they have a lot of Indian, you know, real Indians that they do –
00:02:35.660
It's pretty crazy because they were worth a lot.
00:02:38.720
She made me hold one once in my car when I was a little dirt ball.
00:02:43.280
They're just – they're for good looks and, you know,
00:02:50.000
And then I left it in my 62 Volvo when I ran out of gas.
00:02:54.160
I left it for three days because I couldn't get –
00:02:56.560
Oh, it's hard to take a necklace with you out of – yeah.
00:03:03.920
So I finally get there, and I didn't realize my door has no lock.
00:03:12.660
Did you ever go look for a duplicate of it to try and have it?
00:03:18.360
I just – I just waited, and then I bought her a house later.
00:03:25.080
The old buying the mom a house is really the peak of showbiz
00:03:29.060
where you go, if I can go long enough and make enough
00:03:36.800
And are you paying – now, when you do that, do you pay –
00:03:44.440
but first time I bought it something was a car.
00:03:48.160
I waited until I could get it outright because I didn't want another payment,
00:03:51.180
so I felt like I wasn't ready if I had to do all the payments.
00:03:56.100
It is embarrassing when they go to your mom's house and jacket back.
00:03:59.680
Yeah, if a show gets canceled, you're like, damn, you're living there now?
00:04:15.000
Yeah, dude, I've been getting nerfed, but this hair, for some reason,
00:04:17.340
it started to take over all my thoughts and everything.
00:04:19.380
It's like started to – so I'm going to get some taken out of the back.
00:04:24.660
and I'm going to get them taken out and put in.
00:04:32.080
But I can't say names, but there's people I know that do it.
00:04:36.040
But Johnny Farley, I will out him because he got about 100.
00:04:42.740
Yeah, he's kind of like – he's kind of pretty much horseshoe balled.
00:04:46.760
You know, he got hit hard, but he went in there.
00:04:51.900
this guy's got more plugs than the last two minutes of Carson.
00:04:55.560
And so he put them in there, but they like grow straight in the air.
00:05:00.260
And so when I have him on the show, he just – he like spits on it
00:05:07.220
And Norm outed him the other night and said –
00:05:13.800
He goes – right in the middle of the bit, we're doing some phony bit
00:05:19.920
And then Norm goes, hey, Johnny, your plugs are really working it tonight.
00:05:30.060
Now his head is spinning going, you just tell everyone.
00:05:34.400
That guy, I mean, yeah, but that guy, all he has is –
00:05:38.460
It's almost like a fantasy lineup that he put into his head.
00:05:48.880
I was on SNL and I knew a guy there that got something way back.
00:05:52.340
And they were like four manhole covers they put on your head.
00:05:59.980
But I think like girls with boob jobs, guys with hair, it's just mandatory at this point.
00:06:04.860
I mean, I'm still shocked girls do lips and no one's even embarrassed anymore.
00:06:09.700
They're just like, I'm doing fucking everything to claw and stay in my 20s or 30s or 40s or whatever it is.
00:06:16.140
I feel like sometimes that – all that stuff that the girls get makes them look older, you know.
00:06:22.200
Well, some of them makes them look a little lumpy.
00:06:24.580
Like they've been like a – not kind of in a – like a – you know, some lady's face could seem kind of uneven sometimes.
00:06:32.140
The older lady, sometimes their eyes will start to get –
00:06:37.940
Because it's like they sleep on their side and their eyes an inch higher and it doesn't settle until around noon.
00:06:43.380
Because on plastic, they're not allowed in the ocean.
00:06:47.220
If you want to catch them eye to eye, you got to hit them between 11 and 1 p.m.
00:06:55.540
But I don't even really – you know, we make fun of it on the show of anybody.
00:06:58.780
But the truth is we do – I would do the same thing.
00:07:02.720
Was it nerve-wracking having Norm and – I felt anxious for you having Norm and Leno?
00:07:09.040
Because Norm is such a – it's like throwing dynamite in like a children's yard.
00:07:19.480
I've done his show a million times in the old days.
00:07:22.840
He got on Letterman and was doing – I don't know if you remember because you're young.
00:07:26.040
But he was a guest on Letterman who was so funny and very edgy that Letterman, you know, put him on so much.
00:07:36.780
But when he had to be a full host on Carson or took over, then he got a little bit of flack from comics for being – not like sellout.
00:07:45.460
You know, a little jealousy, but a little like – people were like – he had to tamper it down a bit, which you have to.
00:08:06.540
And then Leno called me after about, you know, a week on the air to say I watch every show.
00:08:22.540
You don't make people feel cringy watching, like, because you're for this.
00:08:28.300
I mean, ideally, that's what we're trying to do.
00:08:41.640
It's like buddies hanging around and try to cram jokes in and make them look fluid.
00:08:46.840
And half of them are fluid because you don't know what the other guy's going to say.
00:08:50.700
And then what we're getting to you is then Jay said, if you want me to come on, I'd love to.
00:08:56.380
You know, he's a guy that is just a joke machine.
00:09:06.200
I was like, wow, it's really nice of him also to go and just be, I mean, he's always going to be the top banana.
00:09:12.060
But to be just a, you know, a banana in the bunch.
00:09:14.160
And, you know, also, you know, in the comedy world, like if I see a comic on the road, when you're on the road, it's usually you talk to other comics.
00:09:30.220
So comedy is something where I could even walk up to Seinfeld in the old days.
00:09:35.260
And if you're a comic and you're on that list and you just tell someone you're a comic, they sort of treat you equally.
00:09:42.200
Most comics, you're in the club with them and they're nice.
00:09:51.660
But you try to just treat everyone the same because you're all in the comedy world.
00:09:57.960
We all know this guy could blow up fucking tomorrow and you could work for this guy the next day because it's just how it is.
00:10:06.000
So I think Leno is old school saying, hey, you tell me.
00:10:09.080
You want me to sit on that panel with a bunch of comedians?
00:10:19.860
We have Martin Short coming up and I'm like, maybe put Maya Rudolph with him because she's funny and weird.
00:10:34.280
I think it feels fast, which is ultimately a compliment.
00:10:41.020
I think what it is, is like if I go on Alan, I'm probably doing 15 minutes out there,
00:10:54.460
Then I'm like, anyway, I went to the Rolling Stones concert.
00:11:02.980
And then, because sometimes doing the show as a host, which I've never hosted, I don't
00:11:09.100
I just want to shoot the shit with comics and laugh.
00:11:12.940
So, like, the hard part is they only get a little bit of time, you know, because it's
00:11:20.560
There's always a little ego when you're sitting there.
00:11:26.620
But I think she made herself sort of a traffic cop.
00:11:31.080
I mean, you just say, which I could see doing that.
00:11:42.360
And it'll, I'm sure, turn into some form of that.
00:11:48.440
Yeah, because you're, yeah, you're a comedian, too.
00:12:00.740
People, I guess, hate it because everybody's like, it's always like the last thing people pick.
00:12:11.480
Because I feel like bad for the fish because he goes, yeah, I'm a fish.
00:12:15.600
And they're like, oh, fishy is, by the way, the grossest thing you could smell.
00:12:28.840
Sometimes I wonder if fish are male or female when you're on my plate.
00:12:41.700
And someone quit working there sometimes at that point.
00:12:44.560
They should leave the building because they don't get that a lot, I'm sure.
00:12:52.800
Maybe I was eating fish dicks instead of fish sticks as a kid.
00:12:56.040
I just want to make sure I'm not eating fish dicks, man.
00:13:06.740
Or the kids, you would have to make them yourself.
00:13:08.440
Did you ever have to make your own or your mom made them?
00:13:13.640
And what you're doing is giving your kids a dream.
00:13:21.920
Meanwhile, she's like, fucking throw that goddamn cookie sheet in there.
00:13:26.200
Dude, pizza rolls we had, fish sticks, the easiest shit.
00:13:31.800
I think fish sticks, at least you have that element of, you know, you got a protein.
00:13:41.920
I go to McDonald's and I go through the drive-thru and I go, what's the filet of fish of the day?
00:13:51.760
And they go, they just pause and I go, quarter pound with cheese.
00:13:57.540
Like, dude, one thing about fish though is some of them have those little bones in it
00:14:06.680
Like sometimes you'll get a part of the fish, you're like, oh, there's eight little bones
00:14:10.580
The hard part about fish is I see them, first of all, when they bring the fish with the
00:14:23.120
I don't like eating the eyeball, which please call it a delicacy.
00:14:29.800
Well, dude, even when they give you the head, you don't eat the eyeball.
00:14:33.480
Some people, like other countries, they think different parts are great.
00:14:38.240
I mean, I'm sure shit we eat is gross, but I'm used to it now.
00:14:41.940
I don't think I can start with some of the stuff they eat.
00:14:48.940
Somehow my mom snuck that in there and then I like it with mustard on toast.
00:14:56.760
We used to get a cut of spam every now and then, a cut of hot spam and that shit was fire,
00:15:17.040
You know, I used to get a horny for was devil's food because I heard commercials and it sounded
00:15:38.700
I was thinking of, not spam, but there's something also like, I'll get to it, but it's
00:15:50.540
I know, but I'm just thinking of all the gross foods they have.
00:15:53.200
Hog's head cheese was popular when I was young.
00:15:55.580
You'd go over there, so when we'd go at lunch, we'd go to the IGA and watch a lot of older
00:16:07.520
And they'd shape it into a little hog, too, back in the day for you.
00:16:16.940
I had, my big thing was, this is why I'm malnutritioned and fucking barely alive, is that I grew up and
00:16:26.200
didn't have one fucking glass of water for about 22 years.
00:16:32.240
Only if you're going to the desert, you bring a canteen.
00:16:37.840
And what it was, when you know more about food now, I woke up in the morning, went to school.
00:17:07.700
And then I remember Seinfeld once said, cookie crisp is a-
00:17:22.320
Got there early, grabbed some M&Ms or a cinnamon roll.
00:17:36.160
Like I just blocked out at school playing basketball.
00:17:39.660
And then I went to the doctor, and then I blocked out again a couple days later.
00:17:43.180
And they said, you either have leukemia or low blood sugar.
00:17:47.000
And the bets were on, and I wound up with low blood sugar.
00:17:58.880
And then I started drinking Diet Pepsi in high school, which was-
00:18:06.780
Yeah, I couldn't even see a young man having a can of that.
00:18:15.160
So it must have been nerd alert where kids like, Jesus, this dude's a straight-
00:18:20.280
Major nerd alert affecting all four counties in Arizona.
00:18:26.020
So I'm sitting there eating, but I still would have like, I only have 10 cookies today.
00:18:35.660
When we were eating good food at night, I swear to God, it was fucking lean cuisine.
00:18:53.200
Is it really the good kind of salt, or is it just salt?
00:19:03.340
So every now and then, she likes to get a little TV dinner over there.
00:19:13.840
He would drive by late, off hours, bro, and fucking furious at his wife.
00:19:18.900
He'd always be yelling shit about her, even though she wasn't in the mail truck, and fucking
00:19:26.100
Just throwing the mail out into the yard, not even using the box.
00:19:34.380
Yeah, but now I feel like it's just somebody that kids, everybody reports them always as
00:19:41.400
If you're still like, yeah, traveling around doing stuff, everybody.
00:19:44.480
Like, I saw a guy yesterday, and he was just like a construction worker, and I was like,
00:19:49.920
oh, man, that guy might be a sexual predator, you know, for no reason other than the fact
00:19:59.120
Or what about all those jobs where they get around kids?
00:20:02.200
What if you're a wrestling coach in high school?
00:20:03.940
You know, you just wrestle kids and slap money ass all day.
00:20:13.600
There's no way you're being around all those chicks, or not chicks, young girls, you know
00:20:18.200
All those jobs where, I mean, gymnastics, I think they're onto that one, but you just,
00:20:29.920
We had a couple of pervs at our school, and half of them went to jail.
00:20:32.740
I think my friend's a child molester, you know, but I want to get more data before
00:20:38.540
I hand them in, because it's only a hunch right now.
00:20:47.780
I go, are you, one of you, you know, one of the kids?
00:20:58.800
Yeah, no, he's just dreaming about it, I think.
00:21:03.760
But I will tell you, I can honestly say little girls, little kids are cute, just cute.
00:21:12.700
You see anybody with their kid, and they got a seven-year-old, and I go, oh, your daughter's
00:21:18.640
And then they, like, shuffle them, like, what are you doing, huh?
00:21:23.940
You've got to say there's a very handsome child.
00:21:28.880
I'll be like, wow, it's a handsome, you know, kid.
00:21:33.280
It's hard, because, you know, I want to say, hey, listen, I'm no child monster.
00:21:38.020
But believe me, I'm not starting with your kid.
00:21:42.200
I'll start with that kid I saw at the carnival three nights ago with the short pants on.
00:21:51.440
Yeah, I'm not starting with this pasty little fuck.
00:22:03.600
Well, first of all, I feel like you and her almost have a, there's something about you guys,
00:22:14.400
Working through the test, like standing the, you know, the test of time, kind of like
00:22:21.420
JonBenet is still more famous than me, which sucks.
00:22:27.280
I was a little bit of that, a little look at me kid.
00:22:31.900
Did you do any, you didn't do chorus or anything at school, did you?
00:22:37.340
But what happened was, no, I was, I think because my dad left us when I was four, I
00:22:41.560
look back to think, is that why I was always like.
00:22:54.280
I had a bad temper and I'd smash trophies in my room.
00:22:58.920
Look at this white, and I don't even know if that's white privilege, bro.
00:23:02.560
You're smashing your trophies out of sheer anger.
00:23:04.360
First of all, no one buys that I had any trophies.
00:23:10.120
Dude, I got a trophy one time, it was a plaque, and they misspelled half the shit on
00:23:17.320
And I lost the spelling bee to a girl in fifth grade who got pregnant.
00:23:25.360
This girl named Helena, Big Helena, I think was her full name, bro.
00:23:29.480
And dude, nobody thought she could spell, nobody thought she could even speak.
00:23:32.360
No one thought she could get knocked up either.
00:23:42.100
My trophy was for the shortest first in school, I think.
00:23:47.060
But I got one for Little League just for being on some team, but I broke it.
00:23:53.020
Yeah, because I think I was mad when my dad left.
00:23:56.280
I look back, why was I so fucking mad all the time?
00:24:05.940
You were just talking about the girl that got knocked up.
00:24:12.780
I lost on Inconvenience and I should have had it and I still can't stop.
00:24:18.280
I went to state and I thought I was king fucking cock.
00:24:22.120
I walked into state finals like this, like some Indian kid.
00:24:58.860
Finally, a couple chicks looked up from whatever they were like, you know, the love letters
00:25:04.540
Not quite as drenched as you thought they'd be because you could almost spell Inconvenience.
00:25:28.840
Like, when I was younger, they had children that were built like fucking adults, man.
00:25:32.380
You know, we had kids who wore like, we had kids who came to school with just oil stains
00:25:43.740
Like, half the kids would leave school and go to work somewhere.
00:25:48.440
And now these kids, you know, it's just different.
00:25:55.580
I mean, Sebastian said at the end of the VMAs that they had a room, if anybody was triggered,
00:26:01.900
Oh, he must have had a field day with that one.
00:26:03.980
I remember when Sebastian was doing that, I almost wanted to say to him, I don't know
00:26:08.740
Because there's no way to say it, but I did Teen Choice once I hosted, and I wrote for Dana
00:26:18.180
If you're over 22, I even just presented at the MTV Awards with Aubrey Plaza, and she's
00:26:27.160
I'm like, Aubrey, you're funny, and no one gives a fuck.
00:26:34.560
So they had some guy, this guy Noah, he's a good-looking dude from one of the movies
00:26:45.780
From the Bible, I know, and Trevor Noah, the two Noahs I know.
00:26:52.700
He goes out there, and every chick is like, it was bananas.
00:26:58.720
He couldn't even do any, and he did some, then he sat on the floor, and they thought that
00:27:04.180
I'm like, this guy's out of fucking jokes already, but he could not do no wrong, and
00:27:08.880
then these girls were just like, it was Katrina.
00:27:11.240
They were all fucking sliding off their seats, and they were, you know, teenagers.
00:27:17.500
Yeah, they were 18, and they were horny for him.
00:27:20.020
Then he finally leaves, and they introduce us, ladies and gentlemen, basically children,
00:27:24.640
would you please welcome these two fucking assholes?
00:27:30.280
Their faces are like, wait, he's still in the building.
00:27:32.640
Why the fuck are you, wait, we're still applauding.
00:27:37.340
Why are you, ugh, ugh, and then we start talking.
00:27:39.700
They're like, no, and then I'm like, hey, Aubrey, blah, blah, and they're like, shut the fuck
00:27:45.520
They hate us, and they're blocking me on Instagram.
00:27:58.900
I know you're, I was just talking with David Spade, but now I got to tell you that the

Dude, your Instagram is, you do, if people don't know, you do some of the best Bachelor
00:29:58.700
Well, actually, the funny thing was, I remember when you invited me over to watch The Bachelor.
00:30:03.480
And then, yeah, no, we had a blast, definitely.
00:30:10.820
I didn't want you to think I was making any moves.
00:30:26.640
Well, dude, then don't let other people sit on it in front of you like that.
00:30:36.680
And I was like one of those creepy kids in the movies that walks with my knees go the wrong way.
00:30:45.060
You know, if I see a movie, first of all, I never see scary movies.
00:30:47.740
If I see like a little girl in a dress who's like 10 and she has black hair on her face
00:30:51.680
and she walks with her knees go the wrong way, the joints, I'm out.
00:30:56.640
There's not a fucking chance I'm seeing that movie.
00:30:58.900
Oh, she's from outside of the city limits, too.
00:31:00.500
We got a question right here that came in from the young lady.
00:31:07.120
We let them know they were going to come in yesterday.
00:31:17.740
And my question for him is, if you could change the format, be the new Chris Harrison, mix things up,
00:31:34.700
She wasn't fanning out, which I sort of wanted.
00:31:38.840
I want her to go, oh, my God, I can't even think of my question.
00:31:43.960
I'm so nervous to tape this that he might see one.
00:31:58.880
So if you talk about it, they have something to talk about.
00:32:06.120
So you go, well, you're going to run into them at Pizza Hut.
00:32:09.780
And they're like, well, you don't have a boyfriend.
00:32:11.600
So at least it's not like you're creeping on some married show.
00:32:20.000
But I think, I don't know what I would change, because they obviously have it wired.
00:32:25.020
I do like this new situation, which you wouldn't know, where there's a guy named Tyler.
00:32:29.820
He's like a, I remember going, this guy's too good looking.
00:32:36.300
I think he's going to win it all, because he's just good looking.
00:32:38.200
But he's a bit of a dud, but it's never stopped any guy from getting laid, right?
00:32:48.240
So they go, he's going to be the next Bachelor.
00:32:50.200
And then in this new crazy world, Gigi Hadid says, this guy's high.
00:32:58.580
Not only dating, they're dating every second of every day.
00:33:01.340
You know, couples are like Velcro monkeys, like shoom, like just together right away, like magnets.
00:33:12.200
My thing is, first of all, these guys that have so much free time.
00:33:22.540
Do you have one thing to do in the last six weeks you've been with her?
00:33:30.800
Yeah, you used to remember something you left somewhere.
00:33:32.380
Yeah, you can go, hey, I can see you this afternoon, this morning.
00:33:52.580
He almost wished the grandmother was alive to get a good look at him.
00:33:54.920
He said the grandma was in the coffin, and he saw the roses.
00:34:10.120
Do you think men are more handsome since you have gotten older, or when you were younger?
00:34:14.480
I didn't know what good-looking guys were growing up.
00:34:18.660
Now, when you get all the data of what girls like, you can start to say, oh, this guy's
00:34:31.320
I'll look at this picture of this man, but I will only, like, my eyes can't even focus.
00:34:35.160
I never knew that part, because a girl I went out with said, about two years ago, she
00:34:41.040
And then she goes, look at this picture of him.
00:34:48.720
I go, why would his dick be popping out of his pants?
00:34:51.280
She goes, all I do is look at guys' dicks all day in their pants.
00:34:56.220
I go, no one's, my dick's not doing anything in the day.
00:34:58.400
Like, I'm getting screwed on that deal, because I don't want to walk around slapping together
00:35:02.820
a half a rod just so some chick might look for it.
00:35:07.360
I'll sneak off before I go in a busy room and just kind of shake it up a little.
00:35:12.140
Just like you're mixing a fucking milkshake, but you don't have a blender.
00:35:22.980
Oh, dude, I remember one time I was on this cruise ship, and I was trying to get an erection,
00:35:26.900
and this girl was a real fucking land animal, you know?
00:35:30.780
And I literally was, like, whacking my wiener against the wall trying to get blood into the end.
00:35:41.940
They're, like, let's, everyone thinks I'm, like, whatever.
00:35:46.240
Well, everybody thinks, yeah, you're definitely just Casanova.
00:35:48.420
Before we get into that, though, I want to talk a little bit more.
00:35:53.240
Oh, because I kind of screwed her on that question.
00:35:55.120
Harrison, first of all, will never give the job up.
00:36:00.500
Oh, I mean, and they have nothing to that island but sneak into his room.
00:36:06.020
So, he's, I mean, it is boring because, you know, they pull him out for three minutes a day
00:36:13.880
But I wonder if he's allowed to mingle and hang out.
00:36:56.280
He was on with Jen Kirkman and another female comic.
00:37:07.380
We've actually got some voice questions from Adam Eagot as well.
00:37:45.840
So, let me know if you want me to save you one or two.
00:37:48.580
What kind of halfway house are you guys running?
00:37:55.180
I need to know about these paper clips, like, stat.
00:38:36.100
Spade, do you have a fire extinguisher in your office?
00:39:08.780
This big, huge lot where you're doing the show in.
00:39:15.260
Because he just, everyone just walks through and does their shit.
00:39:18.120
He didn't get, like, an office, office of the door.
00:39:20.240
So he sits there and everyone just makes fun of him.
00:39:25.960
Like, these workers came and put it on his desk while they were working.
00:39:27.880
And he just sits there going, what the fuck is happening?
00:39:30.080
So on one of my stories I put on Instagram, I go, hey, Adam Egan, hating his hall office.
00:39:35.760
And so this woman that works for a pen company sent him, I mean, maybe 300 pens.
00:39:46.060
So yesterday, he was, like, having a yard sale.
00:39:48.340
He laid them all out and everyone got to come pick a pen.
00:39:54.860
And then everyone's, like, arguing about which ones they want.
00:40:02.260
I go, Adam, you just got them free one minute ago.
00:40:15.500
But we have a whole department that does, anyone's not a comedian.
00:40:22.100
Like, if Leno is a comedian, but we have talent office deal with him.
00:40:25.620
Just because, you know, there's some people that are more, I think Jim Carrey.
00:40:34.760
Did you remember, did you ever remember seeing him as a comedian?
00:40:41.760
I think Rodney Dangerfield's HBO special when he was a young comedian special.
00:40:46.720
They would have a big comedian come in and host and have five new comedians.
00:40:55.560
Was there a thing that happened, like, whenever you were kind of coming up through the ranks
00:40:58.880
that you wished you had done it or you had gotten it and you were like, oh, man, this is.
00:41:04.900
And you thought you weren't going to have a career?
00:41:07.480
They came to my, they came to Arizona to a mall.
00:41:21.400
Joe Dirt started because Fred Wolf lived in Montana with dirt balls.
00:41:25.600
We see guys walking with long hair with no shirt on, tucked in their back pocket holding
00:41:34.540
I take my shirt off whenever I drove because I didn't have air conditioning.
00:41:40.340
And I stand on some little, I do two minutes of stand up.
00:41:47.260
And PV was at Palos Verdes Mall or something with PV?
00:42:00.620
Yeah, at least you're getting some real feedback right there.
00:42:03.460
So when I finally, I felt like, I think you'll know, you'll agree that people say, what's
00:42:20.060
And then getting at the improv when I got in LA was huge.
00:42:24.180
Then I got on this HBO Young Comedian special, which I was talking about kind of.
00:42:28.960
It was me, Rob Schneider, Drake Sather, Fred Stoller.
00:42:42.540
So it's just really like treading water your whole fucking career.
00:42:46.720
You can never really let off the gas because go away in two seconds.
00:42:50.680
Someone even said to me the other day, this Uber guy goes, you're in showbiz.
00:42:58.060
I go, Chris Pratt did three blockbusters in the last two years.
00:43:04.140
I go, well, if this fucking guy's in showbiz, what about me?
00:43:24.680
Like I usually am on a TV show, so that's every week.
00:43:27.980
And so when people don't see me for a year, they're like, what the fuck?
00:43:30.860
I go, I take a year to get a movie off the ground.
00:43:40.240
And if you miss that one, now there's two and a half years you missed me.
00:43:42.960
So that's all that work for one fucking two-hour movie.
00:43:58.360
I don't know if it's a superpower or not, but I know if I walk into a bathroom, if somebody's
00:44:12.940
It's like the thing I hate the most about myself, man.
00:44:22.920
I don't know if we need a moment of silence for that, but.
00:44:26.760
Man, I fucking can feel it in my fucking muscles, bro.
00:44:28.000
I went to this nice place the other day for dinner.
00:44:30.480
Not that nice, but it was a regular restaurant, normal people.
00:44:33.520
Well, I don't want people to think I'm some highfalutin asshole.
00:44:46.760
I walk in, and this dude's walking out, and I go, oof, because he shits so bad.
00:45:02.260
I go, and I pussed out immediately, because I go, am I getting in a fight about a shit that
00:45:08.540
I thought I had to say something, because I walked in.
00:45:18.080
I get that it's not a fucking cake factory, but when you go in there, and it reeks so bad,
00:45:24.800
sometimes it wallops you, and you have to mention it.
00:45:46.940
I hate being, I hate knowing that it's, I just wish that I could never.
00:45:50.980
Sometimes I try to hold my breath before I go in and try to just have my breath held
00:45:58.580
Like, dude, one time this guy, I went in there one time, there was like a, kind of
00:46:02.840
like an urban gentleman working in there, you know, like kind of like a mint, you know,
00:46:06.300
with the mints and the, you know, doing the, sometimes they'll do scarves and everything.
00:46:20.920
This guy was kind of like a big jock kind of dude.
00:46:23.280
So I go into the, into the stall, right, into this little dookie booth, you know, to rock
00:46:29.880
And this guy goes, uh, oh, uh, all right, fam, I got you, right?
00:46:36.660
Like, I think he was trying to like think like I'm going to tip him or something, you
00:46:41.900
You better, if you talk to him, I think you have to tip him.
00:46:46.140
Yeah, the thing, then another guy comes in and tries to get at the door, right?
00:47:02.440
They get into a fucking fight, into a shoving match.
00:47:08.160
And you weren't even pooping, you were pissing.
00:47:11.640
Sometimes I will sit down and piss sometimes if it's late at night, but this was, uh, I
00:47:17.000
don't know, but it was just so like, I'm not with this guy, you know?
00:47:20.200
That's so hot that he, if he went to the mat with you and then you go out there and put
00:47:33.420
Because I know you're going to call TMZ and go, this motherfucker took the dirtiest poop
00:47:42.440
And one time it was bring your kid to work day.
00:47:55.760
Dressed up like a little seal or something, like a little oyster, like a, you know, like
00:48:00.660
Or like, uh, you know, uh, somebody that's going to like a, you know, a wedding or dance
00:48:11.820
Or like a penguin, that's what I'm thinking of.
00:48:19.040
But dude, a snow oyster, how good would that fucking taste, bro?
00:48:26.120
You know how expensive those, watch in a year, those are going to be something that's
00:48:32.940
Would you change anything else on the Bachelorette or no?
00:48:36.400
She got a lot of screen time for that question.
00:49:02.320
Sorry to interrupt this little chit chatter with, uh, with, uh, with Mr. Joe Dirt himself.
00:49:08.720
But this, can you believe that's really Joe Dirt?

I don't think we talked enough about Norm and Jay because it was, it made me nervous.
00:52:21.280
The show is hard because everyone's got a different energy and vibe and I don't sometimes know it.
00:52:27.280
One time I had a female comic and, you know, I'm like going over to the side and out of here, I go, what do you think?
00:52:42.860
This guy over here is like super whatever or he doesn't like, you know.
00:52:46.480
And then, you know, I jizzle in that kind of last week, he's sort of quiet, very funny, but he's out with other people.
00:52:52.200
And so I want to make sure he gets time to get his joke out and not get stepped on.
00:52:55.740
And then you have some fucking guy you don't even know on one show, like blabbing too hard and running over everyone's stuff.
00:53:05.160
And I'm like, I don't like to pull teeth because there's too many dead spots, you know.
00:53:15.560
I show a picture of Kylie Jenner and he's like, you know, I read, you didn't hear about this yesterday?
00:53:21.160
They say, Kim and Kanye are going to get divorced.
00:53:26.560
But I was sitting there freaking out going, everyone, give him a second on this.
00:53:30.940
Because he's old school and he took his time with it.
00:53:36.700
And you just think someone's going to jump in on that pause and do their line or comment.
00:53:43.640
So Norm is always very funny and you just don't know what you're getting.
00:53:50.480
Watching that one, it seemed like, yeah, you're just, he's such like a, like you literally
00:53:54.220
have no clue what's about to climb out of his mouth.
00:53:58.540
It's sort of the funny part about it that he goes after me a little bit.
00:54:01.600
But I don't want him to offend the other guests or I don't want, if they don't know what they're
00:54:15.480
And it's hard to do bits in front of comedians because NASCAR came all the way there to be
00:54:22.500
We're getting more and more people that call that want to be on the show.
00:54:34.200
But every joke we had, they killed right before the show.
00:54:37.220
So NASCAR, you know, they have their brand and this and that.
00:54:53.480
And he goes, yeah, it says it has cancer, but I think it's lying.
00:54:58.320
So when I get to the show about to tape it, I go, oh, that's gone?
00:55:03.840
I'm like, I don't even really know what bit I'm doing now.
00:55:36.880
It seemed like why not shoot more and then cut it down?
00:55:39.220
They just, we should have sent them ahead and then they can talk.
00:55:43.500
And, you know, there's always going to be a barter with someone.
00:55:47.780
But most people, like we had Rascal Flatts on last night and a band Mumford and Sons.
00:55:59.500
But so if they want to roll with some jokes, I make fun of myself half the time.
00:56:05.320
Are you finding that you're enjoying it more than you thought you would?
00:56:08.540
It seems like you're, when I watch now, it seems like it's definitely coming.
00:56:12.040
It's very hard, but, and I have cards and cards like roll to this pre-tape and do this.
00:56:17.420
And we have someone talking a voiceover and make sure they get to say this if they want
00:56:23.980
But to wrangle it all, it gets easier every show.
00:56:29.720
It is a job where you wake up 7 a.m. and I have to think all day.
00:56:34.120
Movies are really hard, but it's more just legwork.
00:56:44.620
And then the movies are fun, but they beat the shit out of you.
00:56:48.240
This one, at least I go home and I can have dinner.
00:56:52.660
What happened at the mall with the star search?
00:57:16.140
For that job, he's always so cool and collected.
00:57:20.280
One time, somebody, this big name guy, I was like, oh shit, that guy pitched you a show?
00:57:38.880
And I think he said, you know, if you go to a store to buy a suit and you don't want it,
00:57:45.960
you don't go back and tell them you don't want it.
00:57:53.000
I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I thought it was cool.
00:57:57.360
Because, you know, they're the new sheriff in town.
00:58:02.400
I pitch stuff to them and sometimes you just don't know.
00:58:06.540
I think if I, I think if I turn it up loud enough, you won't have to hold it up to your
00:58:15.000
My question is, what was your worst date that you ever had?
00:58:19.320
And what is the best way to get out of the bad date without being a jerk?
00:58:40.820
I don't know how to say thank you in Poland, but thank you very much.
00:58:47.360
You've been on, I bet you've been on some, some fucking reekers, bro.
00:58:55.960
Sometimes you have to take yourself out of the equation.
00:58:58.040
Have you ever, has it just been so bad where you'll tell a girl straight up, this is bad?
00:59:02.860
Oh, I, you know, listen, if it's bad on, I can tell they don't like me or it's not clicking.
00:59:08.320
You know, at this point in your life, you realize everyone's trying, everyone's means
00:59:12.380
You just, I would try to start with lunch or something.
00:59:15.220
And then you can just tap out after and be polite, never be rude.
00:59:19.680
And then everyone just goes their separate ways.
00:59:24.960
If some girl would actually like me more, which is weird because when you're in a position
00:59:29.860
of getting like, you know, you get DMs and shit from girls and to tell someone you don't
00:59:35.340
like them or don't want to go out of them is very weird.
00:59:42.940
Girls would tell you, just give you the vibe or they wouldn't call like the Sarandos thing.
00:59:46.440
One girl about 10 years ago said, we had the Rainbow Room, just cool little joint.
00:59:52.300
And she goes, she said she was an actress, right?
01:00:06.500
My mom used to eat paydays because they were like, kind of like the healthy candy bar.
01:00:19.120
I used to put paydays in the toilet and then say I was sick and I couldn't go to school.
01:00:25.320
So I go to the Rainbow Room and this girl's like, yeah.
01:00:55.460
And then she's like, but I'll probably be done by midnight if you're here.
01:01:06.180
And I'm like, well, there's twice I've run into porn people.
01:01:11.000
I ran into a hooker once I didn't know I was a hooker.
01:01:12.720
And I ran into two girls that did porn I didn't know.
01:01:20.620
A lot of girls out here is more, you get into, I see a lot of women that are more the sugar daddy style.
01:01:27.320
Yes, I'll go on a date with you for a couple hundred bucks.
01:01:29.380
I'll go on a date with you and see what happens.
01:01:37.120
The great sales pitch is he goes, what's your price?
01:01:39.660
You ever seen a girl, it's so pretty at the coffee shop, you wish you'd go on one date with her, you could win her over.
01:01:44.940
So, he goes on a site and all these pretty girls and you go, hey, how much does it cost to take you to dinner?
01:01:56.920
They meet him for dinner, 300 bucks, and then they leave.
01:02:06.740
Or they say, for another 500, I'll give you a handjob in the car, you know.
01:02:13.640
Mostly, it's just like girls want to make some money.
01:02:15.240
They go, I'll go to dinner with you and sit with you.
01:02:17.640
And some guys want to just puff up and go to fucking catch and be like, hey, look who I got.
01:02:36.680
I mean, I remember watching you when we were leaving, walking out, and you would see like,
01:02:41.180
like I had like a couple people that were like, oh, hey, that's Theo Vaughn, you know,
01:02:48.560
It feels like a little bit, it almost feels spooky, I feel like, being at your level of
01:02:55.380
I mean, I think by this point, you'll learn that you can get a big head about it, but there's
01:03:02.040
So many times you did, things didn't work that you wanted, that I think right now, most
01:03:07.540
people know me, without even sounding cocky, just after all this time, they've seen you
01:03:15.920
And so people get pictures of it, and I see them and say, look at this fucking asshole.
01:03:21.780
Yeah, that's the difference about popularity from like podcasts and stuff, is people are
01:03:24.840
a little bit more engaged with who you are as a person, I feel like.
01:03:29.400
So you've got a different thing, which is, I think you're interesting, because you have
01:03:32.180
a, your comedy's like that, you'd think there'd be more like this, there's not.
01:03:36.180
Just like, guys, here's me, and you have an interesting life.
01:03:40.040
Some people could do this, and it wouldn't be fun to hear.
01:03:43.440
You have a good spin on it, you're funny down deep, and then you have an interesting past
01:03:54.020
And I, one guy tried to trip me up in an interview, and then I probably have to book it to fucking
01:04:01.480
One guy said, when do you think you were the most famous?
01:04:06.080
And what he meant, the real answer was now, because of cumulative from everything I've done.
01:04:15.520
And there's more people that know me now, of course.
01:04:20.200
Rules of engagement, Just Shoot Me, SNL, and then all the movies on TBS every day at 3 p.m.
01:04:28.160
But he meant, I think I did the, in the old days, cover of Rolling Stone, cover of
01:04:39.480
So it was a loaded question that you weren't still as famous?
01:04:41.820
I guess, I mean, you could ask anyone that, and there's times when you could point to
01:04:48.840
where, you know, it's really like up and down your career.
01:04:52.980
You know, if something comes out for two years, then you do, and then it doesn't really work,
01:04:57.300
So it's never going to be like straight level line.
01:05:07.240
But as long as you, I think the hard thing is still doing shit and making a living year
01:05:20.060
Anyone or other, some of my friends are still just road comics, but they're doing it.
01:05:24.420
It's hard, and they bring in a crowd, and they get their bills paid, and they're like,
01:05:35.340
Yeah, well, just more of a topic for you guys to chew on.
01:05:39.800
SNL yesterday announced three new SNL cast members.
01:05:44.080
Chloe Finneman, Bowen Yang, who's the first East Asian descent.
01:05:48.800
At first, people were saying first Asian, but Rob Schneider is Filipino, so people got upset
01:06:01.120
And Shane Gillis, and hours after he was announced, a Twitter mob quickly-
01:06:08.980
They tried to ruin his life, and a resurfaced video from his podcast came up where he used
01:06:19.660
I thought they were saying Japanese people feel like they're number one, and Koreans feel
01:06:36.420
It's going to be tough for him, because that playing against, they just hired an Asian
01:06:50.260
And then the other guy, they dig up something where he says something seemingly against that.
01:07:00.140
He said, I'm a comedian who pushes boundaries I sometimes miss.
01:07:02.860
If you go through my 10 years of comedy, most of it bad, you're going to find a lot of
01:07:06.800
I am happy to apologize to anyone who's actually offended by anything I've said.
01:07:10.440
My intention is never to hurt anyone, but I'm trying to be the best comedian I can be,
01:07:16.560
And how do we expect people to evolve if they don't have a past, if they don't have any timeline?
01:07:21.460
You know, it's like, I feel like the online mob has just become, it's just a mob.
01:07:30.720
Well, it's very, it's hard to just remove people from their job and life, and some people
01:07:37.240
get angry about different things and just want someone's life done, and they don't see
01:07:49.780
Now, I don't even know about this case in particular.
01:07:52.680
I don't know enough about it, but in general, as a comedian, you know, you used to try to
01:07:58.140
be edgy, and that was the whole thing five years ago.
01:08:00.760
That's what, you want to do bits no one else is doing.
01:08:10.460
And now if someone could go look those up and say, you went too far, it offended me,
01:08:15.560
And that's a tough, weird time to be a comedian.
01:08:21.240
Every day of my show, I go, I hope I didn't say something, because I'm just trying to
01:08:27.840
Believe me, I don't believe in everything I say.
01:08:33.760
The monologue, a lot of the stuff, I'm like, oh, this is great.
01:08:37.120
I mean, some people that like comedy like it, and then everyone in the writers room is
01:08:42.560
But I have to think about myself and go, I don't want something to happen over.
01:08:50.500
You don't want reviews to go, it's the same fucking shit.
01:08:53.780
Because there's probably seven jokes we're still allowed to use that everyone's like,
01:09:00.800
What if, and nowadays it's almost like, it's just if reviewers don't like you or what
01:09:04.080
you represent just by being a human, living human.
01:09:08.220
So it's almost, it's hard to get ahead and make a name.
01:09:12.240
Yeah, reviewers can eat a bag of ass, bro, I think, or an ass bag or whatever they call
01:09:15.860
Now it's just 30, you know, million reviewers on Twitter and Instagram every day.
01:09:20.080
You hear about, like my last show I did on old sitcoms, there weren't people on Twitter
01:09:32.320
But I think that the noise has been so, it's just so, it's happened so much now that it's
01:09:40.000
I mean, there's comics like Chappelle's Special or Bill Burr.
01:09:43.940
There's some people that get away with it and that's great.
01:09:49.100
You just have to be, I think you have to be smart.
01:09:52.960
I hope it just sort of blows over because I don't want to see the end of people doing comedy.
01:10:01.360
By the way, to wrap up that story, about a couple years later, I got the Young Comedians
01:10:06.700
special and I think the next day they said, oh, you got Star Search too.
01:10:18.840
And that was something you thought it was going to be your break.
01:10:23.080
Have anybody ever come up to you and thought you were Brad Pitt?
01:10:35.960
He took off your glasses and he realized what a bad judge character he was.
01:10:52.720
Brad Pitt's one of the few guys I've run into out there that's a big star and he's a fucking
01:11:04.760
David Spade, thanks so much for coming in, man.
01:11:07.400
I guess we just wrap it up and say thanks for having me and you got a good fan base out
01:11:16.920
Where else are you going to be in the next couple of.
01:11:18.320
Oh, I got a Mirage October 4th and 5th that weekend at Vegas.
01:11:24.400
I'm doing a couple of weekends before the end of the year.
01:11:38.900
So you guys are both going to be on stage just half and half kind of?
01:11:43.280
And I got Houston Improv coming up and I haven't booked that many gigs just because
01:11:55.060
Now I'm just floating on the breeze and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
01:12:06.160
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found I can feel it.
01:12:13.280
In my bones, but it's gonna take a little time for me to set that parking brake and let
01:12:25.620
myself unwind shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my stories shine on me
01:12:42.080
And I will find a song I've been singing just for you
01:12:50.080
And now I've been moving way too fast on the runaway train with a heavy load of time
01:13:00.420
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite and welcome to Kite Club, a podcast where I'll
01:13:09.060
be sharing thoughts on things like current events, stand-up stories, and seven ways to
01:13:20.780
And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head.
01:13:38.300
Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker.
01:13:42.800
I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese and a McFlurry.
01:13:47.300
Sorry, sir, but our ice cream machine is broken.
01:13:54.100
Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.

Second rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.
