Okay, today's episode we'll get to in just a second. We have a beautiful guest in, and this man has been through it all.
00:00:06.020
You know, he's had the highs and lows of a career.
00:00:09.620
And not the lows, but when you have highs, you have the alternate side of those.
00:00:14.140
You know, he's had the peaks and valleys, we'll say that.
00:00:16.760
And he's a special guy, and I'm happy to be in here talking about him and talking with him.
00:00:22.180
And this episode today is brought to you by Pranks Anonymous.
00:00:26.020
And look, we all know people that need to be pranked, okay? Let's be honest about that.
00:00:30.440
Sometimes people look like, oh, I don't know anybody that needs a prank. You're lying.
00:00:36.580
Now there's a fast, easy, affordable way to send anonymous pranks.
00:00:40.300
In the mail. Remember the mail, dude? It's still alive.
00:00:47.960
At Pranks Anonymous, you'll find a prank for anyone and everyone.
00:00:51.040
You think there's not a prank for somebody? That's crazy.
00:00:56.820
You know, people that are, people that have been tortured.
00:01:05.720
They got the largest selection of glitter bomb pranks.
00:01:08.460
They even have the world's biggest glitter bomb, the mega glitter bomb.
00:01:13.380
It's four times the size of any other spring-loaded glitter bomb.
00:01:27.460
You ever seen somebody try to get glitter out of their scalp?
00:01:33.960
That's just gay lice living up in your dome, baby.
00:01:39.960
I'm just sitting on your front porch, wondering how could I be...
00:02:04.640
This is, I don't know, fucking helicopter on the freeway or some shit.
00:02:12.220
I left before Google told me, so bear with me, man.
00:02:22.540
But, dude, I think people would listen to you, Jamie.
00:02:26.120
Because you're just kind of this fascinating creature, I think.
00:02:31.160
Yeah, you're like a Loch Ness Monster, but you're not hidden.
00:02:38.680
Jamie Kennedy is here with me today, and I'm super excited, man.
00:02:47.480
I mean, I see you in the comedy clubs all the time.
00:03:06.780
And she's like, you got to come to the store and do a show.
00:03:13.160
And then I was like, you know, talking to people.
00:03:16.680
I'm like, if you're on the road all the time, you're doing five or six shows, why do you do, you know, in town?
00:03:27.380
He's like, dude, you got to perform in town, in front of your peers, with your peers.
00:03:33.940
Because being on the road is completely different.
00:03:37.440
And then ever since he said that about two years ago, I've just been like...
00:03:40.320
But also, I feel comedy has gotten super hot in, would you say, the last three years?
00:03:47.640
Because I've been doing comedy for a long time, but...
00:03:51.920
Yeah, to me it has, but my breadth of perspective isn't as large as yours.
00:04:01.600
Well, I feel like, you know, in the last two years, I've been hitting the town hard.
00:04:08.700
Because, you know, Netflix has been doing the specials, and now Hulu's opening up in
00:04:14.040
Amazon, and everybody, I mean, you know, it used to be like a special, you would drive
00:04:18.700
down Sunset Boulevard, and you would see, you know, one person, and it'd be like, you
00:04:22.480
know, bigger and black, and you're like, damn, that's like...
00:04:24.940
And now, it's like, yo, you see one building, you see a bench, you see...
00:04:32.120
So, it's like, I was like, I want to, you know, work on that, and try to work towards doing
00:04:38.240
And that's why I've been doing it, but I have never, in my history, I started in the
00:04:43.960
late, late, early 90s, almost late, but 1990 was when I did my first set.
00:04:55.060
Yeah, I mean, dude, you go to the OR, you'll see 16 comedy superstars.
00:05:05.560
And just like, bam, bam, bam, and it's like, people are so spoiled.
00:05:11.040
And you go on the road, and you sell 400 tickets, and you're like, I'm the man.
00:05:15.640
And then you're like, doing 15 minutes, and you're like, ooh, that was a tough set.
00:05:19.760
And you realize, because you're, everyone, you're playing for the Yankees.
00:05:23.320
And so, I was, I'm glad to be in town doing it, because it makes me better.
00:05:37.400
And now, I'm not, because you were saying that before, like, man, you're hitting it hard.
00:05:41.400
And now, I don't want to stop, because I don't feel like I don't want to miss a step.
00:05:48.800
It's like, you know, I mean, half the shows I'm on, I feel like you're on most of the time.
00:05:53.820
And has comedy always been with you in your career?
00:05:55.980
Because, I mean, when I first got hip to you, you know, you were mostly acting.
00:06:00.320
And has comedy, but you were a comedian before that.
00:06:04.760
So, most people don't know that I started as a comic.
00:06:07.520
So, my heroes were, you know, I had a few heroes.
00:06:26.560
But then I started auditioning for improv groups in 1990.
00:06:33.620
And I would go to improv groups and do, like, they would have these groups at the schools.
00:06:48.040
Like, there wasn't, like, crimes or anything going on, huh?
00:06:50.520
No, it was just, like, you know, how long, how profitable is an improv group?
00:06:54.120
If the school board isn't paying you to do a show about, you know, better nutrition, but make it funny.
00:07:11.100
If you went to schools now, they wouldn't let five comedians into a school.
00:07:20.100
And you put a hat on, and it's, like, you don't know what character that hat's going to be.
00:07:33.760
Dude, well, there's just so many pedophiles out there now, man.
00:07:35.880
I got, I quit, I got rid of the app, the Stranger Danger app or whatever.
00:07:40.960
Where you can see how many pedophiles are in your, like, area.
00:07:44.620
Yeah, it's, like, Stranger Danger, it's called.
00:07:46.300
And you can see how many pedophiles in your area.
00:07:48.060
Dude, there's so many, it's, I won't even jerk off, because I'm afraid somebody's going to molest my semen.
00:08:00.120
Oh, so you're saying your semen turns into a human?
00:08:07.020
I don't even know if we can pull it, if we can pull up the site or something.
00:08:10.720
It's where you can see how many pedophiles registered, you know, people in the union, I guess, is unionized.
00:08:17.000
But registered sex offenders are, who are within your area.
00:08:25.920
So then what I was saying, I won't even masturbate, because I'm afraid somebody will come over and just touch that, you know.
00:09:07.780
I'll say Shake Shack, Shake Shack, because I really do like that hamburger.
00:09:12.220
Have you ever seen so many hot teachers touching?
00:09:21.520
Do you think something is going on, or do you think that it's just now it's a popular story?
00:09:27.700
And I think the internet has made everything transparent.
00:09:29.720
And I think it's always been happening, but now everything, you can see everything.
00:09:33.920
Was there a teacher that ever tried anything with you or did something?
00:09:50.200
But first of all, you know, I used to do this joke, which is true, which I was on Ultra Boy.
00:09:54.260
And I was never even touched, which made me feel like I wasn't cute.
00:10:01.220
But here's the thing, is that we did have a teacher who was a nice guy, and he would take me and my buddies out to Burger King like once a week.
00:10:17.440
Oh, because I know a handicapped guy that would do that.
00:10:22.820
So he would take us out, three of us, and we would just, you know, eat those Whoppers, and we'd get fries.
00:10:31.940
And then I didn't think anything was weird until, because we're from Philly.
00:10:37.700
So Philly, we kind of like turn the tables on the touchers.
00:10:45.680
That was a big thing in eighth grade, seventh grade.
00:10:51.820
Yeah, and they were big, and they would, these things would puff up your cheeks.
00:10:56.140
So when we would eat them in school, we would get in trouble.
00:11:00.040
So in order not to get in trouble, we would make him eat it.
00:11:05.060
And the game was, how many jawbreakers could you fit in your mouth?
00:11:08.980
And so we had him put about three and three in each cheek.
00:11:14.800
He was middle-aged, nice guy, who took us to Burger King.
00:11:20.660
And he had that accent, and I wasn't knowing what he was.
00:11:28.560
But you know that area of the world, whatever that is.
00:11:35.620
And we jammed him in there to the point where we're putting him in at the Burger King, jawbreakers
00:11:44.220
And this stuff was like, you know, Charlie Chipmunk.
00:11:47.680
And it wasn't until I was probably like, you know, 23, and I'm sitting on my couch, you
00:11:53.300
know, like, you know, just after a Taco Bell audition, I'm like, damn, maybe that guy had
00:11:58.980
ill intentions, but nothing happened ever weird.
00:12:02.480
But the more, I'll just say, the more we jammed in his mouth, the happier he was.
00:12:15.520
The more you put in their mouths, the happier they are.
00:12:23.860
I don't know if I can say his name or not, but.
00:12:30.620
But this boy named Michael Rutsch was his last name, right?
00:12:40.340
So what happened with Michael Rutsch was he had, he was, you know, kind of, he had extra
00:12:44.840
salivary glands, you know, and he was always just leaking out of the sides of his mouth,
00:12:49.340
He was real damp up, just up in that fucking face hole, you know.
00:12:52.960
He was just sweating out of his lips all the time, bro.
00:12:55.820
So, you know, like it would be easy to get DNA off of him, you know what I'm saying?
00:13:01.180
You can take some on your finger, put it, okay.
00:13:07.960
Well, they had this man, his mother used to date one of her students who was a substitute
00:13:14.720
teacher, and she dated this boy that was in her class who was 16 years old, and his
00:13:19.740
name was Clint, like clit, but with an N in it.
00:13:25.180
So he would come over to the house, and they would hook up inside, the substitute teacher,
00:13:31.160
And meanwhile, me and her son, Michael Rutsch, would sit outside in Clint's car, and Clint
00:13:36.780
had a ham radio, one of those CB radios you'd get on there, you know, breaker, breaker, you
00:13:45.380
Jaw breaker, jaw breaker, how many can you fit?
00:13:49.920
One time, we'd get talking to some man on the interstate.
00:13:59.240
No, this is like a live, yeah, it's a live version.
00:14:05.520
This man shows up, and then he's got me and Rutsch sitting in his truck, right?
00:14:10.480
And he is having us put Tootsie Rolls in each other's mouths.
00:14:16.780
Yeah, he's like, you guys should see who, you know, who could have the most Tootsie Rolls
00:14:19.860
So it's like, similar, so this jaw breaking thing was probably happening at the same time.
00:14:23.660
So, okay, so this is jamming stuff in the mouths.
00:14:29.960
So wait, so how much did you keep, because those things can get stuffed.
00:14:35.940
He had those slick doors on his face, you know what I'm saying?
00:14:51.200
I'm saying, because, well, there was a better bargain.
00:14:55.080
You got like four of those for like half the price of that long one.
00:15:05.340
And, but thank God he, he, he could hold so many because at one point that got Clint
00:15:10.060
came out of the house, saw this dude and beat that man's ass.
00:15:20.100
If you got molested or we had a, you know, a school teacher that took us to Marilyn Manson
00:15:25.460
We're at 16, you know, and he was, you know, he went to jail for pedophilum and it was more
00:15:44.800
I mean, tell me if some teacher hit on you when you're 16, are you reporting?
00:15:49.100
And then if your mom catches and says, this is terrible.
00:16:06.120
They're taking them down in the Priuses behind the damn basketball court.
00:16:17.900
They're bringing intramural sport athletes doing two, three at a time.
00:16:23.500
Dude, straight up tip drills, London bridges, and they're getting report.
00:16:33.300
One lady had a sketch artist come and draw pictures of them.
00:16:44.680
And it was like two at a time, two at a time with toys, three at a time, four.
00:16:50.480
You know, Del Taco break, you know, and they're in high school.
00:17:01.760
The husband said, I know that she's sick and we're going to work through it.
00:17:12.000
I call it, you know, right now it's all that's going on with men.
00:17:15.700
You know, it's good that the women are cleaning out the creeps, but, you know, being a man
00:17:22.920
Like the alpha male is getting a little bit, you know, it's a little.
00:17:35.220
Which one, you know, which a woman really like.
00:17:36.960
It's like, you know, they want somebody, some of the women, not all women, I'm not saying
00:17:40.100
don't get mad, but it's like they want a guy that, if you're a strong woman, you want
00:17:47.040
But those guys that signed up in the corner, you know, some of these guys, why the woman
00:18:06.400
There's a lot of men who are searching their own cavities with all kinds of accoutrements,
00:18:24.440
Well, I mean, I didn't learn until you could jerk off.
00:18:26.320
When I was 28, I learned you could jerk off like that.
00:18:32.400
Dude, I used to do this thing where I would tape both my hands together with duct tape,
00:18:37.400
And I would say it was for like school, for science.
00:18:40.940
And then I would tape like a hole in my hands like this.
00:18:43.060
And I don't know what I thought the tape was for.
00:18:44.860
And then I would go masturbate with both hands at the same time.
00:18:51.880
But then the crazy part was you had all this tape, you know, and you had like semen on
00:18:59.100
So then it was like this real whodunit, like this kind of Harry Houdini, you know, goes
00:19:05.640
And you're, you know, and somebody's beating on the door and you've been saying you're in
00:19:10.600
And like, I must've taken so many shits when I was 14 years old.
00:19:15.940
Just because I was always having an excuse while I was in the bathroom.
00:19:21.200
It was my office an hour a day when I get home from school.
00:19:28.320
I remember, dude, the first time I ever masturbated, I climbed up a shelving unit, right?
00:19:35.660
They had pornography magazines and a fifth of Alize, just swamp water.
00:19:40.160
It's just like colored liqueur, you know, just a real big brother sipper.
00:19:44.600
And I took a swig off of that and I was jerking off from the shelves, just up on the shelves.
00:19:52.340
That's how enamored I was by masturbation and addiction, addicted to that.
00:19:58.540
Oh, I fucking just fell off the shelves after I came.
00:20:06.840
But that's how much it meant to me, like to go and masturbate, to go have that.
00:20:11.260
I remember I would bike five miles across town.
00:20:13.160
My buddy's dad had some pornography magazines in their bathroom.
00:20:16.220
And I'd bike five miles to get there just to jerk off and then bike back.
00:20:20.420
Do you know what you told me before we started the podcast?
00:20:26.860
I think that's going to help this cause, this story right now.
00:20:31.140
I love jerking off and driving five miles for a beaver shot.
00:21:00.000
But do you think that there's something else going on?
00:21:07.120
Like men haven't been, you know, women are feeling like they, that older men are too,
00:21:13.080
you know, that they're affected too much or that they missed out at a young age.
00:21:18.500
And that's why they're going for these young, you know, these boys in their classrooms.
00:21:22.400
Do you think there's any of that or do you think that's crazy?
00:21:26.100
I don't get how teachers, if you're a teacher, you're supposed to have a level of intelligence.
00:21:31.480
If you're going to do something which is clearly illegal and, you know, immoral, not only are you doing it, but you're doing it and documenting it and having a digital footprint, which is psychotic.
00:21:46.580
I think because if you do that job, the little bit I've been reading about, I mean, there's a story every three days.
00:21:52.740
I think something about you, you like to be, you know, center of attention, look at our job.
00:21:59.480
You know, maybe some of these guys are 16, but they look 20.
00:22:06.100
There's a lot of fantasies, man, but I just think people get caught up in the moment.
00:22:10.580
I think some of them probably have issues, obviously.
00:22:14.260
I mean, the fact that they're documenting it, too, that tells me something else because if anything, like back in the day, you would maybe a creepy dude would do something like that.
00:22:23.920
That was like something you would see on an early season of Criminal Minds, you know, like that was enough of a plot.
00:22:29.960
But now it's like if these women are documenting it, that shows to me that they want to keep it for some reason, that they want that, you know, that treasure trove of little artifacts they can go back and look at.
00:22:41.280
They're going back to, you know, that's a spank bank, maybe.
00:22:46.000
But the bottom line is it's crazy and it's happening more and more.
00:22:50.160
But if I was in high school when I was 16 and my teacher was flirting with me, I would think that was a good thing.
00:22:59.400
I think these kids, these guys are hearing about these stories happening, so they're getting more emboldened and they're making a little pass to the teacher more than they would.
00:23:07.960
I know I had this teacher, senior Spanish teacher, when I was in freshman year and I loved her, but I just never thought it was a possibility.
00:23:15.520
Later, I found out she was messing around with a senior.
00:23:18.260
I could have had a chance the whole time, but I didn't think it was a possibility.
00:23:23.800
No, some of these teachers are coming hard at the guys, number one.
00:23:44.020
Number one was that the teachers are coming hard.
00:23:47.280
Yeah, the teachers are coming hard now, but I agree.
00:23:54.120
You were just hanging out with a fucking senior citizen.
00:24:04.380
Just a little goochie-geek, you know, tickle them.
00:24:08.320
But I wasn't doing anything, and I wasn't getting it.
00:24:14.600
But I could see you, you know, if I'm a hot teacher, I'm not going.
00:24:25.440
A teacher's fucking, like, the jacked, kind of, like, backup quarterback type of dude.
00:24:31.200
Yeah, no offense, but the tall, lanky dude ain't getting fucked by the teacher like that.
00:24:39.500
Like, one day his head's real long or his chin's real long.
00:24:43.600
Yeah, those growth spurts, I think, are scary to people around that age.
00:24:46.600
Like, you meet a kid and he looked, you know, one day one of his arms is going longer and
00:24:56.720
Like, one day your friend would have a fucking, the longest neck in the world.
00:25:02.100
Well, we get in trouble when we talk about this stuff.
00:25:09.900
But do you ever find, like, because we do comedy, it's like, I do jokes about it, man.
00:25:15.660
And it's, it's the most intense time to do comedy in terms of political correct, right?
00:25:26.820
I've had three different times at three shows in town.
00:25:35.280
People have approached me and asked me why I did a certain joke.
00:25:43.860
I do a joke that I say, you know, I read about myself on the internet, and I read something
00:25:48.440
that said, people say, Jamie Kennedy looks as if Bradley Cooper, Matthew McConaughey,
00:26:01.240
And those would be your parents if that did happen.
00:26:06.700
And so they went, people went off and said, why are you endorsing rape culture?
00:26:11.100
It was written about me, and I had a whole dissertation.
00:26:17.480
Well, the heckler, I feel like, I mean, you did the documentary, The Heckler.
00:26:20.920
And the heckler these days is, was that with Michael Addis?
00:26:27.320
But if that documentary, I feel like the heckler now is the media, kind of.
00:26:34.360
Well, what we did when we did that was, I was just working on my first hour.
00:26:46.840
I was getting heckled, but it was more like drunken, emboldened people.
00:26:54.440
And we started documenting it, which was filming me to get my bits down.
00:26:59.460
And it ended up becoming, I'm like, dude, this is something here.
00:27:08.620
So it was somebody in the audience, no matter what the event, hey, you suck.
00:27:18.980
And that's when people, not the New York Times or LA Times were reviewing your movie.
00:27:22.440
That's when, you know, this is a wafflemovie.com.
00:27:30.580
And I was getting, you know, not a lot of waffles.
00:27:45.100
And it was like, you know, eggplant.com, three eggplants.
00:27:51.180
And I realized heckling wasn't just the people.
00:27:57.840
But it's gotten even crazier, bro, which is, which is, you're right.
00:28:02.480
And, you know, I'm not going to suck my own D, but the movie was a little early ahead of its time.
00:28:07.320
But now there's something what I call cannibalism, where, I mean, artists are straight up heckling each other.
00:28:16.320
Only like comics are, you know, heckling each other or, you know, music people are fucking having Twitter wars.
00:28:30.320
Because I, this business is insanely difficult.
00:28:38.380
And the fact that you're in this business means that you're not exactly well adjusted.
00:28:45.880
I didn't come here for, you know, because, you know, my life is happy.
00:28:51.480
And you didn't stay here because you might have come here with your dream, but it does start to change.
00:28:57.480
And it's, it's, it's, it's, and it's, but it's a, but it's beautiful.
00:29:00.680
You know, those 10, 15 minutes I have on stage or that, you know, 20 seconds to say my line before they say a cut.
00:29:14.520
But it's, it's, we're in a fraternity, a brotherhood.
00:29:20.600
And I feel like people, when I, I don't fuck with anybody because I know how hard this journey is.
00:29:31.440
That's my opinion and I grew up where my heroes were like, you know, 50, you know, 50s, you know, 60s.
00:29:42.380
I understood what Hollywood, you got to read Marlon Brando's book.
00:29:45.660
And he would say that there would be a premiere of Man's Chinese and it would go from Man's Chinese down past Gower.
00:29:56.620
That line, that's like a mile for a premiere and Hollywood was beyond, beyond special.
00:30:12.540
Now what's beautiful is all the tools to do it yourself, you can get in.
00:30:18.140
But it's, it's no barrier to entry and there's issues there.
00:30:24.880
Yeah, I mean, you know, there's a couple different topics in there.
00:30:27.140
I mean, for one, it's like, yeah, it's like anybody can get in here now, for sure.
00:30:32.260
And I think you almost have to create your own way in these days.
00:30:35.840
I don't think it's as prevalent, you know, it's, there's so much nepotism now.
00:30:40.220
The business has been going on a couple more generations, you know, or another generation.
00:30:43.200
It's like, it's just, it's really hard to get into this business.
00:30:49.040
But unless you create, it's hard to get into this old business.
00:30:51.640
But if you create your own way, then it's easier and then it's your own business.
00:30:56.040
You know, I think like, you know, it used to be the big three networks and, and Fox,
00:31:00.000
you know, and, and, um, or trying to get into a movie.
00:31:02.640
But now all of that business is so like, it's so cutthroat and jaded over there.
00:31:08.100
If you just try and wait on these casting directors or these, or to meet a producer at a coffee shop, that shit's not happening anymore.
00:31:17.220
So you have to create your own shit so that they've come to you now.
00:31:24.220
But wait, you were surprised that I said, I don't heckle all their artists.
00:31:31.980
What I'm saying is that the media is the heckler now.
00:31:34.780
Like now the heckler used to be that man sitting in the front row.
00:31:39.280
Now the heckler is like, I mean, well, the comedy is kind of divided and I feel like there's real comedians.
00:31:44.640
And then there's also like joke writers who are on stage.
00:31:48.120
And it, and I feel like this, the industry caters a lot more towards writers.
00:31:55.780
People are going to hate that you said that, but boy.
00:32:01.120
Just that they got up there and they're just writing and then reading it on stage.
00:32:06.060
Is that, is that, it's not, I'm not saying it's not entertainment.
00:32:09.420
But I would watch a guy like Sebastian Maniscalco to my, to my ball skin falls off my balls.
00:32:19.540
You go write down Maniscalco stuff or DeLea's stuff on paper.
00:32:22.160
It's that's whatever maybe, but you watch them do it and it's electricity.
00:32:31.960
It's like where, like half these people, like, it's just like, is this entertainment?
00:32:36.500
Even if it's not even great, I'd rather it be like Mike Epps, like one of his specials
00:32:41.220
that came out two years ago, got a bunch of bad reviews and stuff, but I thought it was,
00:32:53.940
And I'm sometimes will go out there and go, blah, and people will be like, oh, he's big.
00:33:00.660
But it's like, but there's times when I'll be low energy, but it is like, I agree, my
00:33:06.040
performing is much stronger than my writing, but I, dude, you're saying some fucking gold.
00:33:10.960
Now, people are probably going to hate that, but I so agree with you.
00:33:18.480
Why don't, why don't say charisma is what you're saying.
00:33:20.960
Well, then why doesn't the industry, why doesn't the industry go after charisma anymore?
00:33:24.320
It's like, you could sit in the comedy store for one night and see so much fucking charisma.
00:33:28.780
It's just like, what, how everybody in this place doesn't have some, isn't, you know,
00:33:39.080
But yeah, it just seems sometimes like, like we've gotten away from entertainment and they've
00:33:44.300
just tried to, I, here's what I want to say on that point.
00:33:47.980
And, um, we're talking about what I said, don't talk about, so I'm a hypocrite.
00:33:54.780
But what I do say is this is though, is that fuck me, I lost my point again.
00:33:59.300
Is that, is that I do feel this when like you put yourself, there's something that happens
00:34:07.060
sometimes in comedy, not all the time, and maybe entertainment, where people are being
00:34:24.300
So I feel sometimes what you're saying is like, when I go on stage, I can bomb shit.
00:34:29.820
I had some tough sets last week and, but I try to be vulnerable.
00:34:34.960
And I feel that sometimes people don't want to do that because they don't want to seem
00:34:44.320
There's more people just saying that they're vulnerable than it is actually being vulnerable.
00:34:51.300
And that's what there's, I think Hollywood sometimes look as vulnerability as weak.
00:34:56.440
You know, like my dad used to say, just cause I'm nice doesn't mean, you know, I'm weak,
00:35:01.220
Just cause I'm nice doesn't mean that I'm weak.
00:35:02.960
So it's like, I do feel like, I feel that I do feel like the town feels like, Oh, he, you
00:35:11.480
And that's why I think that's, you know, I think there's going to be a new Hollywood.
00:35:16.160
I think in the next 10, 12 years, you're going to have a brand new Hollywood that's going
00:35:19.660
to form maybe 15, 20 years or a separate Hollywood that's going to perform.
00:35:23.620
And I think it's going to be based out of Nashville.
00:35:26.080
And I strongly believe that there's a ton of artists there.
00:35:28.280
There's a lot of money there, tons of people moving there.
00:35:31.700
And it's a place where people get, it's not as infected.
00:35:34.020
I mean, I think a lot of Hollywood, there's just so many ages, so many writers now.
00:35:38.180
It's like the sons of writers and grandsons of writers.
00:35:42.400
It's like, they've never even lived anywhere outside of.
00:35:47.740
Well, you can't, if you're not good, Theo, they're not going to last.
00:35:51.980
I think you can get away in that industry a little bit more.
00:35:56.340
These days with, they don't even let you really do that much on screen these days.
00:36:11.140
I feel like a lot of times on the screen, they don't let it breathe.
00:36:19.580
Now it's more get to the shit where you used to be able to kind of, you fell in love with
00:36:23.480
the character more a little bit because you got to see a little bit of them.
00:36:26.520
Well, dude, you're talking about like Chinatown.
00:36:35.120
I mean, what movies have you seen where you're like, this is an adult thriller movie?
00:36:43.200
Dunkirk is the only good movie I've seen in about three years.
00:37:00.540
And he gets in some issues with house cleaning products or something and ends up being.
00:37:06.620
He ends up getting infected as infected with antism.
00:37:11.680
But he's powerful because, you know, they're a hundred thousand times their own strength.
00:37:14.320
Which also who fucking knows how strong that is.
00:37:24.720
They're always like, they're a hundred thousand times their own strength.
00:37:45.020
You drive down Santa Monica Boulevard, Melrose.
00:38:14.680
Bro, they'll come their fifth lead in a fucking Marvel movie.
00:38:44.420
And it's, I guess, it looked like a food truck, but it was also, like, curing HIV.
00:39:00.960
All right, I'm going to give Jamie a gift from us today.
00:39:10.980
A lot of people have been carrying their wallet in their back pocket, and those people are slowly becoming extinct.
00:39:19.120
There's a couple of accoutrements you can use to tap into that sucker, bro.
00:39:24.420
Oh, that does whatever you want it to do, dude.
00:39:32.880
Yeah, with that, you can fly Tootsie Rolls out of your cousin's fucking grill, bro.
00:39:36.940
I can also use this as just like, you know, quick stick them.
00:39:43.680
Well, you can stick them up, and it has that money clip.
00:39:46.140
You put your cards in there, and you carry it in the front of your pocket, and you got that little hitter.
00:39:51.500
So, you could change the fabric of somebody's life.
00:39:55.940
I thought that was a different hitter, but okay.
00:40:03.220
Are you guys watching, or are we just listening?
00:40:12.640
So, you put that there, but then you got this, where you can also change your glasses.
00:40:18.020
Chop up stuff, anything, vegetables, anything you want.
00:40:23.240
You could do whatever you want, and that's special alloy metal from space.
00:40:28.320
So, all the people that own these, Buzz Aldrin.
00:40:41.720
And look, it took me five days to love mine, and I love mine now.
00:40:50.400
Get rid of that rear carry and get that front pocket carry.
00:40:56.060
I'm like, I can't even, I'm giving blood in this thing or whatever.
00:40:59.680
It smells like fucking chicken sausage back here.
00:41:03.200
And I'm supposed to fucking be shedding pints back here or whatever.
00:41:09.820
They shouldn't let some vehicles go from one thing to another thing.
00:41:13.320
There should be, they should just, the government should have a better hold on that.
00:41:20.780
So, but yeah, man, it's getting wild out there.
00:41:23.840
And if I could go back in time, dude, I'll be straight up.
00:41:26.900
I know I have some people from my hometown that listen to this cast.
00:41:31.140
They had one named Miss Barnes, and she was ice cold, boy.
00:41:35.080
But I try to warm her heart the long way, you know?
00:41:38.220
And then they had a couple of other teachers, I think.
00:41:40.840
One of them, Miss Brestersen, I think her name was.
00:41:54.080
I don't know if that's an onomatopoeia or not, but Miss Brestersen was.
00:41:58.340
Dude, I couldn't even, I never saw her head or her stomach or legs.
00:42:09.800
It was just this big, huge chunk of warmth that would just be in front of your face, dude.
00:42:21.460
It was, I mean, I think she was in a blouse or a fucking tourniquet.
00:42:26.880
That would mean she'd be on the other truck or the food truck.
00:42:32.380
And it just looked like one big, wide tit, you know?
00:42:39.400
I don't know if she did or not, but when I would get closer, there was so much heat coming
00:42:42.180
out of her that I couldn't even barely fucking see, and my eyes would fog up.
00:42:45.680
And I would think I had glasses on, but I didn't even have glasses on, dude.
00:43:10.100
Because I remember all the blood would run in my lower extremities, and I would faint, dude.
00:43:15.560
Because I had this thing when I was young that my blood would go not only to my wiener,
00:43:19.920
but it would also go to the rest of my extremities, my legs, my lower body.
00:43:26.360
You ever seen those people wearing when they fly?
00:43:29.820
Yeah, I had to wear those in middle school because my blood would fill up all of my legs
00:43:36.600
whenever I would get sexually aroused, and I would fucking pass out.
00:43:40.360
So they could always, the worst part was people could tell when I was sexually aroused.
00:43:47.300
He was erect, and it was just me and my buddies playing hoops or something.
00:43:52.600
That means you've got to be working with something.
00:44:04.900
You know, it doesn't hit the back, but the sides get taken care of.
00:44:15.200
Yeah, I just remember my eyes would just kind of go empty, and then I would go down.
00:44:27.100
So it's like one of those trucks that the caboose gets wider when they add extra wheels on it.
00:45:00.020
Yeah, I did my first special, and it was on Comedy Central, and then my second one was
00:45:04.660
And I have to say, I've never had anything, I think, air more than anything.
00:45:09.060
Showtime put it on Showtime, then Showtime 2, then Showtime 3, then Showtime 3A, then
00:45:20.900
It was awesome, and I can't thank them enough, and it was like for two years straight, but
00:45:26.100
I mean, my ticket sales went up like 8% or something.
00:45:33.780
No, and now it's on the Spanish network, and it's on a lot, and I appreciate that, Nouveau,
00:45:42.860
So now, I feel like I get more hits off of podcasts, and people will quote stuff I did
00:45:48.620
on a podcast, and so now I just want to do one to just do it, because I have all this
00:45:57.120
I just want to make it and just get it on the platform, and they don't have to make
00:46:01.860
it, because, you know, I think my audience will find it.
00:46:13.160
Do you think it's because that the networks and that the production companies don't do
00:46:18.880
Because it does seem like a transition of responsibility a little bit, or is that just...
00:46:23.460
Or is there just so many people in the game now?
00:46:38.060
If I don't do another one at 4, I'm out of the business.
00:46:45.340
Like, you do things, and you go to the next level.
00:46:50.420
Then you do TV, you blow up in that, and then you do movies, and you blow up in that,
00:46:55.640
And now, you do everything, because everything feeds everything, and there's so much content
00:47:02.480
that you can have different avenues that are very successful.
00:47:07.720
And I just think that also, there's just so much stuff that you have to just be out there.
00:47:16.980
It's like you have to stay out there to advertise, and...
00:47:19.040
It's not so much doing it as much as just being relevant.
00:47:24.380
Like, I want to say you gotta be good, which you do, but I almost feel like being out there
00:47:41.040
Like, because some people that I love, I haven't seen in a while, and it's like, is the talent
00:47:46.240
But it's like, you see some of these guys that are doing everything.
00:47:49.480
I mean, The Rock is arguably the biggest movie star in the world.
00:47:53.360
He just got $21 million, which is the topdest I've ever heard of, up front, and then a million
00:47:58.900
dollars to promote the movie on his social media.
00:48:12.100
He knows that he's just gonna hit every corner.
00:48:22.220
Well, I mean, it's so hard for also anyone, especially I feel like more and more these
00:48:27.800
You can't really stay at the height of comedy like you used to be able to.
00:48:32.880
And I almost think in a strange way that like, Dane Cook was the last guy I feel like
00:48:37.780
Because he really hit whatever people want to say about Dane, you know?
00:48:42.580
You know, he's never really engaged with me much.
00:48:44.660
He always just seems like he does his own thing.
00:48:47.740
But he hit like Steve Martin levels of popularity.
00:49:00.500
Like, very few comedians have stayed at a level that's...
00:49:15.060
He's not a celebrity because I think he chooses not to be.
00:49:18.720
I mean, he's the best comedian, I think, to me.
00:49:42.980
Do you think that you have something to do with that?
00:49:44.700
Because you've had some good heights in your career.
00:49:59.700
Is there something tangible that you feel like, okay...
00:50:03.880
Or do you still feel like things are kind of up in the air?
00:50:34.580
And then if that works, then you get another leading part.
00:51:03.560
But I mean, once I was on that grind, I'm doing every talk show.
00:51:15.880
But then once, you know, something doesn't work or...
00:51:20.020
It's like, if something doesn't work critically, but it works commercially, you're good.
00:51:28.040
Like, all right, we got to deal with them because we can't turn down money.
00:51:30.940
It is against Hollywood's, you know, DNA to turn down money.
00:51:37.280
But if something critically doesn't work box office, but it's a critic, darling, you're also good.
00:51:42.900
So if something doesn't work critically and doesn't work commercially, and then, you know, that turnover rate, because you think about it.
00:51:59.100
And then if someone else, because there's always somebody right there in that dugout.
00:52:08.640
And then you kind of kind of, you know, you go down the farm leagues.
00:52:21.820
I'm playing for like, you know, the Tampa Bay, you know, Grizzlies, one of those leagues.
00:52:44.460
What about like ego and stuff where you're at that level?
00:52:52.940
Did you notice yourself get an ego or do you always feel like kind of the same?
00:53:08.700
I think the first thing that came to my mind when you said that was, I was right.
00:53:15.640
Like, because you struggle, you know, and you try to come up and you're coming up and you're
00:53:37.080
I was talking to Bobby Lee about this and now I'm like, I want to.
00:53:42.720
I mean, I still got an ego, but I really can't.
00:53:48.460
And it's really good for me because now I feel like, boom, I'm not, I don't want to
00:53:54.660
say this, people take it the wrong way, but I like hit my bottom.
00:54:02.240
And so the only thing I can think of, the only, what you're saying there is patience at times
00:54:09.020
because you're doing so much, you're doing a movie, you're doing a TV show, you're playing,
00:54:14.920
you know, 3000 people out of college and you're like, yo, I gotta go.
00:54:19.140
And you're, you know, flying on a private jet and you're like, so it's like you're doing
00:54:24.000
And you're, and you're seeing it around and you're just like, let's go, let's go, let's
00:54:26.920
So sometimes you can be curt, you can be short and people get butt hurt.
00:54:30.480
And then, but I've always made sure, Hey, I'm sorry, blah, blah, blah.
00:54:34.900
Um, but I've always, I think I've maintained simple thing, but definitely your ego, Hollywood
00:54:44.060
And generally I'm a, I'm a good guy, but I definitely have, you know, crazy moments.
00:54:49.420
I mean, I'm definitely living and, and I do think though that you have, um, creativity
00:54:57.340
This is what annoys me where people get the role is difficult.
00:55:01.740
And, um, I think there's times I've had some creative fights with people and other times
00:55:09.280
And that's what I don't like about our business.
00:55:14.960
There's a difference between somebody being really difficult for unnecessary reasons and
00:55:18.400
people that are trying to create something great.
00:55:25.420
And then if we happen to become friends after it, God bless it.
00:55:29.700
And there's people like that, but some people get difficult, but then there's other people
00:55:34.480
They don't get difficult because they're successful.
00:55:43.180
Picasso fucked a 20 year old, had a baby and was 91.
00:55:48.900
I don't want to go off the rails down the rabbit hole.
00:55:50.860
But it's like, people want, everybody has a choice.
00:55:58.680
People are like, people want everybody to be all clean and normal and everybody well
00:56:05.700
Kurt Cobain fucking blew his brains out when he's 24.
00:56:25.540
Like, so everybody wants everything to be perfect.
00:56:29.200
And to me, amazing artists, if they're a well put together person too, God bless it.
00:56:34.840
The ones I know, most of them that I love aren't.
00:56:56.380
Mel Gibson might be, he might have some fucking racial issues, right?
00:57:17.180
If people punch me in the face, but they're amazing at it, amazing comedian, or a singer,
00:57:23.640
Like, Joan Rivers said she didn't like Rodney Dangerfield, I read something, but she would
00:57:30.160
Somebody can hate me, call me names, spit my eyeball.
00:57:33.500
If they're great at what they do, I'll still be there.
00:57:41.120
Dude, I feel like you've always been one of the nicer people that I've ever met, man.
00:57:49.320
Yeah, I just love seeing you, like, you know, just from my little perspective, just dig into
00:57:54.580
Like, I'm like, damn, this dude's coming back at, you know, or not coming back, but he's,
00:58:01.000
And I feel like a lot of people think, I don't know if they do, like, do people think I'm an
00:58:13.100
Like, Chris Spencer did something, he said something to me so funny a couple months ago.
00:58:22.000
Which is true, but I was doing a lot of open mic.
00:58:24.940
And then, like, my club back then was, you know, I would do the store, but only, like,
00:58:31.580
You know, and hang out there in the back, you know, with that one trainee.
00:58:36.480
But the improv would have showcase nights, and the factory was, and I'm telling you, once
00:58:40.880
I waited in line, like, 12 times in the factory.
00:58:44.200
And then Jamie and my side was like, but I did not Mario in.
00:58:47.840
And my first showcase, like, I did get a commercial agent.
00:58:51.280
So, I was lucky, and then the improv, my third, like, showcase, I did, like, get an agent.
00:58:59.380
So, I didn't really work up, and then once I got busy.
00:59:05.560
In the clubs, I didn't really get in, but then once I started getting successful, then
00:59:13.540
So, I literally started with, like, 30 minutes in colleges, and I had to work on that.
00:59:17.420
And then, like, guys like Saga would let me over for him, and Craig Shoemaker, and, you
00:59:20.920
know, Rick Overton, and they taught me a lot, because it was OGs.
00:59:25.040
But, I did start as a comic, and then I just got successful.
00:59:28.460
But now, I feel like, you know, there's that, oh, this guy's doing that.
00:59:31.580
It used to be, well, you're an actor doing comedy, but now, everybody's trying it.
00:59:39.760
I mean, I think, yeah, I think the ones that stick with it are the ones that are, you
00:59:47.160
I go on the road, and, like, thanks to Bobby Lee, and saying, you gotta, like, just do
00:59:52.640
And town is hotter than it's ever been, than I know of.
00:59:58.760
And every star you see doing 10 minutes, and I feel that it's good for me, and it just
01:00:06.680
But I just realized this weekend, I was doing killer shows sold out.
01:00:21.680
They keep that drawer, those things, the Pac-Man machine, little now and laters, those big
01:00:27.660
But as much as I was having a great time there, I still was like, I gotta get back to town.
01:00:40.520
Dude, Harry Basil, he opened up for Rodney Dangerfield for a long time, and he told me one
01:00:44.600
time, he goes, look, man, he said, the road will always be there.
01:00:48.180
He goes, get out there and make your rent where you got to, make your little money here
01:00:52.220
He goes, but if you want to be in it, you gotta be in it.
01:00:59.900
You just don't know who's gonna be in there sometimes.
01:01:03.340
I mean, I walked in the comedy store one night, and Jim Carrey was sitting there watching
01:01:06.920
the comedians who were going up, and that's how he cast the show Dying Up Here.
01:01:12.920
And I performed, and I was nervous as fuck, dude.
01:01:15.820
And it wasn't for them, and that's, you know, and that was that, and I felt dejected.
01:01:24.700
Yeah, I pull up, and the parking lot guy's like, Jim's here.
01:01:41.380
It's like, somebody did that to me the other day.
01:01:56.400
But yeah, it's like, you never, you just, you don't know.
01:01:59.120
And that's, I mean, I get nervous all the time when I have to leave town.
01:02:01.540
I'm like, fuck, what if I miss that set that's, you know.
01:02:04.280
I guess maybe you do think somebody could still see you on stage and things could change for you.
01:02:12.720
I mean, he's got one of the greatest movies he's about to make.
01:02:16.960
But it's, and it's also becoming so much like, you know, improv, going up late.
01:02:23.860
You know, you get to do more than, you know, you're 15, maybe do 30.
01:02:30.080
It's just, it feels like comedy where it is, where it's like, I love going up 1231.
01:02:41.900
Man, well, I love seeing you at the close, man, and I appreciate you're always, you're
01:02:45.440
always supportive and say nice things, man, and I just really appreciate that.
01:02:52.600
Well, it's, it's, it's a beautiful time, and I just want to do, you know, I want to
01:03:01.360
I mean, for people out there watching and listening, it's like, I don't know, I probably equate
01:03:26.060
You walk here, Alice in Change was here, Nirvana was here, Eddie Vedder's over there.
01:03:40.140
But you go to local coffee shop, you never know.
01:03:48.460
That's one thing where I get grateful just to go on these stages.
01:03:56.340
Was there a period where you got in the dumps or anything?
01:03:58.540
No, I was just like, fuck yeah, of course I'm going to be on this stage.
01:04:03.440
Because it's like if you're in a movie or in a TV show, it's like, yeah, I'll come down.
01:04:07.340
And then, you know, somebody kick you in the dick.
01:04:09.700
And then you're doing, you know, a half an hour in a bowling alley in Toledo, which I'd
01:04:15.120
And people get pissed off and fucking throw a chair or somebody in the audience.
01:04:23.960
So then you see, you know, you go back and you're like, oh, I'm so happy to be where
01:04:34.400
Everything has time, you know, where clubs are hot and they're cold and artists are hot
01:04:39.240
I mean, because all, you know, clubs get hot and cold.
01:04:57.360
And there's a great I don't want to go too down the rabbit hole, but there's a great talk.
01:05:23.480
You know, you read all the stuff that millennials.
01:05:28.280
They're not eating string cheese and they're fucking it up.
01:05:43.320
And the old generation was like, it was get what you could.
01:05:48.340
And kind of like, I don't want to say step on your fellow man, but yo.
01:06:01.940
And then my generation is like, gets that, but it's also half.
01:06:14.660
So now half of me is like, understands the tech.
01:06:22.620
The old generation, the new generation is all like, yo, a little bit here, a little bit there.
01:06:28.620
So if you notice, it's, the sense of community to me is bigger than it's ever been in terms of things I see.
01:06:36.640
I see more artists collaborating in music, right?
01:06:46.640
Everyone in those people would, are movie stars in their own right.
01:06:50.280
But the 12 people are starring in a movie together.
01:06:53.140
And that's, that model of Marvel is a model for, I think, art in Hollywood.
01:07:02.480
It's like, look, let's put our minds together instead of just ride one.
01:07:06.700
And I'm in the middle now, but I'm really going to this generation of like, yo, man, jump on.
01:07:33.600
I'm not sure which part he was talking about, but I thought it's all fair game.
01:07:44.240
Let's take a couple of Instagram questions, man.
01:07:45.880
So, you mentioned earlier, Eddie Murphy was one of your heroes.
01:07:49.340
Someone asked about working in Bowfinger with him and Steve Martin.
01:08:06.020
So, first of all, you're talking about icon and icon.
01:08:09.180
I mean, he's talking about, you know, the heist.
01:08:10.880
I mean, this is Steve Martin is the first arena comedian.
01:08:26.980
They're both do what they do in front of the camera amazingly well and hilarious.
01:08:39.900
Who had more, do you think they had more, like, who do you think got more hot chicks,
01:08:46.200
I think, I mean, Steve Martin said this great quote to me once.
01:08:55.320
And, you know, he said that at the height of his fame, he was a rock star without the girls.
01:09:06.540
Because I think he was so big when he meant by that.
01:09:09.740
And so many people were throwing themselves at him and women.
01:09:11.640
And he just would go to his hotel room because it was mania.
01:09:15.660
I couldn't even get an erection of if that, if you know somebody's banging on the door while you're trying to, I could, you know what I'm saying?
01:09:26.200
He did well, but I think that, I didn't really ask Eddie, but I didn't really ask Steve either, but he told me that.
01:09:37.860
Which is what I'm talking about, how it's changed.
01:09:44.440
Is that, because less avenues, one thing gets it.
01:10:19.520
Sounds like a point you would write, doesn't it?
01:10:34.700
And one of them is allegedly related to her or something.
01:10:45.480
At jhustle37, he wants to know some basketball takes in you.
01:10:55.700
Didn't you play in like a celebrity all-star game?
01:10:58.400
Because I remember watching that on television.
01:11:14.300
Yeah, but people were holding him up by the hoop.
01:11:32.760
Dude, that's the hardest question in the world, but to me, there's only one.
01:11:43.640
If they don't agree, that doesn't mean they have to get pissed and fucking pull their truck over.
01:11:51.600
Here's why I think LeBron is just a little off.
01:12:13.720
These fucking, I dropped 40 fucking two points.
01:12:24.920
I got to go in there and I got to just jam on motherfuckers.
01:12:32.860
But that's, but MJ, that's the one thing for me.
01:12:40.960
I heard that motherfucker didn't like to lose in penny tossing.
01:12:44.200
Like he didn't, you know, you know, Twizzler eating.
01:12:55.560
And that's why he is the best ever because he refuses to lose.
01:13:08.600
He, you know, he'd be great at the violin if he did it.
01:13:10.500
He's just one of those people that could be good at almost anything.
01:13:15.080
But Jordan, I think, I think it was basketball only.
01:13:20.900
People try to act like, you know, he wasn't any good.
01:13:38.220
Bro, if he sees this, he ain't going to like that.
01:13:43.380
Jamie Kennedy, where can people see you at coming up?
01:13:47.900
This weekend, right now, whatever date it is, I'm at Rochester at the Carlson.
01:13:55.780
You want to look on his site and just rattle off his dates, Nick, so we'll have him?
01:13:58.900
And then next weekend, I'm at the rec room in Huntington Beach.
01:14:04.140
And then, like, in early June, I'm in Ontario, Improv.
01:14:09.880
You want to get those, we'll put those dates, too, right there.
01:14:14.520
Right below in the link, and we'll put the dates up on the screen, too.
01:14:19.540
If you haven't seen Jamie in a while, man, go check him out.
01:14:21.540
Or if you have seen him in a while, go check him out again.
01:14:25.440
Like, you could almost put two words together, and you were fucking in it, bro.
01:14:39.320
Like, you were in every fucking King of the Millionaires, too.
01:15:23.200
Dude, I'd love to see him and your little priest go toe-to-toe.
01:15:31.200
Dude, how is mouth-stuffing online not a thing?
01:15:49.560
Millennials, and now the new one, whatever that is, under-millennials, you know they're
01:15:57.900
And the challenge with the Tide Pod and all that stuff, it's like the challenge is, can
01:16:02.340
But they're eating ramen, cooking it, and eating out of toilets.
01:16:09.560
I remember they had a couple brothers in my neighborhood always cooking Dove outside
01:16:15.900
And so I'd go out there, and for years, these dudes would be like, you want some Dove?
01:16:27.560
It was, it was, let me think, let me close my eyes and think about what it tasted like.
01:16:42.620
Double blackened, because these are a couple brothers serving it, too.
01:16:45.900
But it was, I think it was kind of Jamaican, I think, honestly.
01:17:19.380
Catch a dozen to the fucking tongue and fucking two to the chest, baby.
01:17:28.480
Because they cook like it might be your last meal.
01:17:30.140
And no offense to the cops, because they've been good to me down there, but they only
01:17:33.960
move on, you know, if they figure out what's in it for them.
01:17:40.140
Some of those cops are like, what's in it for me?
01:17:44.100
That cop was like, that beignet, you know, that spot.
01:17:55.100
Oh, a lot of cops will hide a gun in a couple of beignets and just be eating.
01:18:01.960
For everybody that doesn't know, I'm going down there in a month.
01:18:13.100
So when you go to Du Monde's open all night, you're like, what you want, man?
01:18:18.920
Because the waiters got to pay cash to the owners.
01:18:24.740
There's two guys that own this joint and they're scared of each other fucking each other over.
01:18:34.560
They take cash and they go, that guy ordered a donut, you owe me three fucking bucks.
01:18:54.700
You're welcome to use this studio if you need to every now and then, you know?
01:18:57.960
If you need to take him, you know, to get that kick off.
01:19:00.380
But I think you have, I mean, you know, just saying.
01:19:04.740
People should hit me up and if they like me, I'll do it.
01:19:10.600
Do a 12-episode run and see how you feel about it.
01:19:12.740
Yeah, but I want to, like, you know, I want to talk different than what I am, though.
01:19:16.960
I'm just sitting on your front porch, wondering how could I be so far from my home.
01:19:25.020
And my mind is somewhere else, but when I find it, I'll patch up where it's been blown.
01:19:35.720
Now, I'm just floating on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
01:19:47.720
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.
01:19:55.800
I can feel it in my bones, but it's gonna take a little time.
01:20:06.420
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite, and welcome to Kite Club,

Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker.
