He'll be appearing at the Addison Improv this weekend in Addison, Texas,
00:00:09.180
and the week after at SideSplitters in Tampa, Florida.
00:01:11.520
I was telling you about like, I didn't tell you.
00:01:22.500
the perception of dog fights in the United States
00:01:26.640
like shooting a dog and electrocuting it and throwing it in a pool,
00:01:35.040
And people in the United States that have dog fights,
00:01:55.140
If two pit bulls are fighting and you go to break them up,
00:01:57.420
it's going to bite your hand unless it knows you and loves you so much,
00:02:32.080
The other dog keeps coming out because he's game.
00:02:54.840
Sometimes they'll die because they're too game.
00:03:00.460
And a good dog handler will take his dog out because he knows the dog will never stop.
00:03:17.100
It's like, yeah, I'll just keep going right back into the fire.
00:03:19.640
People are like, dude, you have Vaseline all over you.
00:03:32.600
In Philippines, you go there and they got a dog probably sleeping on like a, you know.
00:03:49.000
I guess you'd probably want to keep it with you all night then.
00:04:04.300
You wouldn't fucking just feed Evander Holyfield graham crackers, you know?
00:04:26.400
No, saltines is fun to watch, though, because he has kind of a darker complexion.
00:04:48.020
I'm not going to tell a kid to do something I'm not doing.
00:04:54.980
In high school, 84 to 88, and then college for briefly, 89.
00:05:04.100
It was like, you know, you just roll the wrestling mats out in the gym, in the wrestling
00:05:09.140
And it's like coaches go, my way or the highway?
00:05:10.960
You say that now, it's going to be a real packed highway.
00:05:19.460
Like, we didn't have any life when we were in high school.
00:05:23.620
Those kids were just beating the acne off of each other, it looked like.
00:05:27.720
So it's like, you're with these kids for four years, 12 months of the year.
00:05:32.280
Like, three, two hours a day, three hours a day.
00:05:34.400
Then you see them on weekends, on a tournament.
00:05:38.340
They'll get sick of you really quick if you're, like, my way or the highway.
00:05:41.340
Basically, I just coach the way I wish I was coached.
00:05:44.060
I just try to communicate with them, tell them I love them.
00:05:47.200
But, yeah, I'm not going to go, like, do this, throw the front headlock, and I'd rather
00:05:52.240
Can they do, what are some of the new moves people are doing out there?
00:05:55.200
Like, what's kind of, like, the new, is there some?
00:06:00.520
And once in a while, there's some funk, like, this new, like, thing where you do a weird.
00:06:05.500
And it's just, it all circles back to the, it's, you know, single leg, double leg, front
00:06:09.920
headlock, spin behind, get you two points, half Nelson, one-on-one armbar.
00:06:22.660
And, like, the sooner you can get thinking out of their heads, the better they'll be.
00:06:31.100
Like, if I'm on bottom and a guy's on top, I can sense he's too high and I can roll him.
00:06:39.960
You can't be out there with, like, a yardstick, you know, trying to figure out where the guy
00:06:47.280
If he gets too high on his ride, I shall roll him.
00:06:54.120
Do you see a lot of young, is it, like, a lot of, do you have any transgender wrestlers
00:07:03.200
Because they're never going to get assaulted in college.
00:07:06.240
Like, you got a 14, 15-year-old girl in the wrestling room and you realize every day you're
00:07:10.320
keeping her, like, you're teaching her and keeping her from being sexually assaulted.
00:07:15.320
Some guy in college is going to be drunk and try to put her on a mattress and she's just going
00:07:19.560
Put the rear choke in naked, rear naked choke, huh?
00:07:23.980
You could be fully naked and fucking choke somebody out, too.
00:07:26.940
You know why I love it, actually, Theo, the most?
00:07:37.680
But part of being an addict is I like to give with conditions.
00:07:41.440
So, if I send you, like, a thank you note, I think I might have told you this before.
00:07:45.260
A couple weeks go by, I'm like, I didn't hear anything from Theo about the thank you
00:07:49.840
Then I start building a little resentment, like, what's with Theo?
00:07:50.700
He can't even thank me for sending him a nice note?
00:07:55.140
So, in wrestling, in the wrestling room coaching, it's the only time I'm selfless because they
00:08:01.140
They can't give me anything back except feeling good about themselves.
00:08:05.360
The only, I found a room two hours a day where I am selfless.
00:08:11.120
And I get nothing from it except a kid going, oh, wow.
00:08:18.780
Like, I drive home sometimes with tears in my eyes.
00:08:32.080
I got, like, three kids in there with mustaches.
00:08:45.820
Any city you go to, Little Anthony has a mustache.
00:08:48.660
Even if he fucking was snuck into his fucking stepdad's room and cut part of his beard off
00:08:54.040
and used honey to fucking put it up above his lip.
00:09:01.860
He's, like, listen, where do I get wrestling shoes?
00:09:09.940
Like, because I'm wrestling in socks with the ladies.
00:09:13.880
And is there any guys, do they have any finishing moves?
00:09:17.660
Has he gotten to that point yet with wrestling?
00:09:19.700
No, it's really just, you know, he can't, like, dance and shit like that.
00:09:26.120
Mano-mano when you're done, you know, you shake the other kid's hand, you shake the other
00:09:30.120
The other kid comes over and shakes your hand, you wave to the coach or whatever.
00:09:42.400
There's a school chant, like, everywhere we go, people want to know who we are.
00:10:07.120
A shark is a straight, you know, a dolphin's just like, hey, woo-hoo, ah, blowhole.
00:10:15.280
Dude, if a cop pulled a dolphin over, dude, I bet it would have a bunch of fucking nuts
00:10:22.320
I wouldn't be shocked, is what I'm saying overall.
00:10:30.240
I'm so, uh, that's awesome that you found that thing, that, that, that you have that
00:10:37.380
Dolphins are dangerous animals that could rape and kill your baby.
00:10:43.000
One of these nitwits out there with that, you know, trying to get the, you know, that salt
00:10:48.600
Trying to part its hair with a fucking water wave.
00:11:19.200
They have two different varsities, a B team, and then they have JV.
00:11:24.580
That's more than there is in a football team, you know?
00:11:33.500
Is it crazy to see, like, when you're looking back at these children and a lot of them,
00:11:37.220
because a lot of children go through puberty at that time, you know?
00:11:47.460
We had a couple kids from our school that I think never hit it.
00:11:54.420
One dude works at the CVS now over there where I used to live, but he fucking is still
00:12:01.220
What's it called when you don't hit puberty, Nick?
00:12:11.600
No, I mean on purpose, like you go to a place, go to a dolphin encounter.
00:12:22.180
Oh, dude, you don't bring your mom to a dolphin encounter, bruh.
00:12:26.040
She had, we knew she had Alzheimer's, so I just took her before she was getting bad.
00:12:39.040
So we go in the water, and there's like this 11-minute video they show you, a safety video,
00:12:45.840
So I just took a nap, and then I'm in the water, and I'm like, what could go wrong?
00:12:50.840
So my mom, they go, Jeannie, Jeannie, you get Dottie, and like this beautiful dolphin
00:12:59.100
And my mom and this dolphin are like, oh, my God, you're so precious.
00:13:02.820
Look at, like they went to high school together, like, oh, my God.
00:13:07.120
Like the fucking bullpen doors at Yankee Stadium open, and they play Enter Sandman by Metallica,
00:13:11.720
and there's a wall of water coming at me, and he's just like, brr, coming at me.
00:13:17.240
I'm like, I'm going to get cut in half by a dolphin's head?
00:13:27.120
Rolls on his back, and he's floating on his back across me with a look on his face like,
00:13:37.000
He's gray, but he's got a patch of white, like chest hair.
00:13:39.440
And I'm just kind of like, they go, you can touch him.
00:13:45.360
I mean, it's like a kind of a real hard, spongy, you know, it's what you, I can't explain it,
00:13:50.700
but it's exactly what you think it would feel like.
00:13:53.320
I feel like it would be hard, hard, hard, like a car.
00:13:58.240
It's like the hard foam at a water park in the tubes.
00:14:04.180
So I'm patting his chest, and he's like scooching by.
00:14:08.100
And what it said in the video that I slept through was never, ever, under any circumstances,
00:14:12.220
touch any of the dolphins below their belly buttons.
00:14:14.920
But he's going this way, and I'm touching his chest, a little lower in his chest.
00:14:19.360
So I don't even realize that I'm like jerking off a dolphin.
00:14:23.940
This is like off a Westwood Boulevard over there.
00:14:27.560
And he like flips out, and he starts hitting me in the ribs with his head in my life vest.
00:14:35.240
Is it powerful hitting, or is it light hitting?
00:14:37.040
Yes, it's like I don't belong with this aquatic mammal.
00:14:44.140
He's trying to get me in the middle of the lagoon where nobody could help me.
00:14:49.340
My mom and Dottie are playing like fucking Mahjong.
00:14:58.520
And I shouldn't know what a dolphin's dick feels like.
00:15:06.760
I remember when we talked about that last time.
00:15:07.060
I've seen guys holding their pregnant wife's head, getting trained by brothers.
00:15:11.660
I've seen fucking everything you could think of.
00:15:19.280
Oh, I couldn't pick one out of a dick lineup right now.
00:15:28.420
And there's a space between my life vest and my back.
00:15:40.800
Like, it's up my back, and his head's like here, and I don't know if, it was just, it
00:15:46.020
I couldn't imagine it even being that long, and I don't want to see it, Nick.
00:15:57.400
It felt like he was, like, grabbing me from behind, but something was between us.
00:16:08.280
Dude, there's nothing shadier than somebody wearing a frickin' big life jacket that's
00:16:14.020
Well, vacation, they're either too small, you throw them to the side.
00:16:20.860
I think that's like one of those gay meetup things.
00:16:21.920
Like, if I have a life vest that's too big, I'm looking to meet somebody, you know?
00:16:28.280
So, I don't know how to yell, like, hey, your dolphin's-
00:16:31.780
Because the guys are, like, up on these rocks, like, your dolphin's dick is stuck between
00:16:37.120
my life vest and my back, because I jerked him off, and he thinks it's my pussy.
00:16:40.960
So, I just floated there, and I start yelling, dolphin cock!
00:16:46.340
I swear, the guy turns to me, and he goes, dolphins rock!
00:16:50.300
I'm like, no, no, no, it's not what I'm saying!
00:16:57.040
And they give you an 8x10 photo for free of your encounter.
00:17:00.920
So, like, my mom, as bad as her Alzheimer's got, she'd be like, who are you?
00:17:09.540
She'd go, did I ever show you the picture of my friend Dottie?
00:17:12.320
And right next to it, you could see me, sort of, with all the whitewash, but he's up over
00:17:16.480
my head, my life vest over my head, like a hockey jersey in a fight.
00:17:20.260
God, man, it sounds like that Stanford rape case a little bit.
00:17:24.220
No, it was straight up, a dolphin tried to fuck me.
00:17:28.420
Dude, imagine what he's telling his buddies right now.
00:17:30.940
He's like, hey, I fucked that comedian guy who was down here the other day.
00:17:42.500
Imagine, if he hit my asshole, I would have died.
00:17:45.360
We are the dolphins, the rapey, rapey dolphins.
00:17:50.200
Not going through puberty is called Coleman syndrome, just to put a pin in that.
00:17:54.340
Darren Coleman, actually, I think was the boy's name, actually, Martell, actually.
00:18:12.780
Because we only have 4,000 in our town, so this guy was like a real entrepreneur, I guess.
00:18:20.380
I think he probably, well, you know, a lot of these men will go back to school even after
00:18:25.460
they've graduated to meet younger girls and the like.
00:18:41.200
Go back to high school and just wrestle like 180.
00:18:45.300
Some of the people in high school are 30, 40 years old.
00:18:56.340
The only way to stick around is if you don't get out.
00:18:58.480
Dude, we had a guy, this guy, Mr. Larry, that was in our class, and that dude had to
00:19:02.440
be, his big trick was, it was an urban gentleman, he could come in the bathroom and piss over
00:19:13.560
You have to have one to shoot a piss over there.
00:19:17.180
But he was at the school for so long, he was in, I think, 5th or 6th grade for so long,
00:19:21.120
and finally that it's like, you know, you work here.
00:19:25.400
So how old was Mr. Larry that you know of in high school?
00:19:28.980
Like, what was the oldest that you can recount?
00:19:31.020
I'd go, and this was middle school, I would go 18.
00:19:50.020
He showed up for school every day, but he also didn't care once he got there.
00:20:07.160
Also, I didn't hang out with him outside of school.
00:20:08.940
And I was a fucking, you know, I was 13 years old, so I don't even know, dude.
00:20:17.300
And also, you know, the world was in a different font back then.
00:20:26.340
I'm going to, I want to get my dates in here before I forget.
00:20:30.780
You just sold out in Tempe this week, and I saw that.
00:20:34.160
I haven't been here in so long, and I loved it so much.
00:20:53.380
People are like, hey, you're coming to my town in three weeks.
00:21:10.280
And then Tampa, Florida, Sidesplitters, November 7th through 9th.
00:21:22.200
Charlotte, Hollywood, Delaware, Atlantic City, Annapolis coming up in the...
00:21:38.720
How much trouble have you gotten down in Tampa, I wonder?
00:21:47.480
I didn't bring my phone to the show, so I couldn't, like, be searching for pussy.
00:21:52.700
Yeah, the things you're doing these days to stay off, like, to try and curb that kind
00:22:01.680
I need validation, and it's like, whether it's escorts, which is...
00:22:10.540
It's like, they're coming over, we're going to do a thing, and it's going to take place
00:22:17.980
It's like going to some club, and some girl goes, he raped me.
00:22:27.920
I don't bring my phone to the show, and then I just, like, read a book and try to fall asleep.
00:22:37.580
Hell, my first car was a Ford Escort, so I should have known right then, dude, that I
00:22:47.920
I would wear nothing and drive that bitch around.
00:22:49.700
Dude, I remember one time I was driving naked around town, right?
00:22:53.340
Because this is back when people didn't know if you were naked, you know?
00:22:56.420
And the cop, there was a cop that pulled somebody else over, right?
00:23:04.460
This is back when people didn't know whether or not you were naked.
00:23:10.480
They're like, oh, you know, they'll make a funny video or something back in the day.
00:23:13.580
You could drive with no pants on or no shirt, nothing.
00:23:20.540
Now you'd be like, that guy's fucking naked, probably.
00:23:26.300
Back then you would just cruise around naked, pull up, talk to people in their yard and
00:23:42.420
Keep telling the story because you're too good a storyteller for me to be...
00:23:44.940
No, that's back when it was the Wild West, dude.
00:23:49.240
Do you guys just move in here and it's some lady fucking, you know, cutting her kid's hair
00:23:53.080
in the yard and you're just sitting there fucking butt naked, bro?
00:24:09.760
You were one of the many citizens that hit puberty locally and you were fucking living
00:24:19.740
When I had my Escalade, I would drive back to Orange County every day after I was working
00:24:28.100
I'm like, why can't I just see some lady playing with her pussy on the way home?
00:24:34.020
Because I was looking down at everybody's car because I had a truck.
00:24:37.080
But I went to San Francisco when I was crossing the Bay Bridge.
00:24:44.480
Like, I was the only one not smoking grass in my car.
00:24:58.540
But, yeah, man, I've been doing pretty good with the Pornhaut.
00:25:00.700
I've been doing real good with the Pornhaut art feed.
00:25:08.380
See, I've never made the effort to not watch it at all.
00:25:15.620
There's an app called MOBA SIP that's for your phone.
00:25:18.600
And there's a different one that's on my computer.
00:25:34.060
If you want to buy your mom a hat or something,
00:25:35.420
or if it's, you know, like a Kentucky Derby or something.
00:25:40.780
I've been thinking about, I need, like, some kind of block.
00:25:44.540
And once I did that, here's the funny thing I found out about.
00:25:46.380
I'm on an airplane looking at porn on my phone.
00:25:55.140
You know, at that point, you can get out of fucking jail, dude.
00:25:57.620
Jay Moore gets busted looking at his, yeah, MOBA SIP.
00:26:04.060
I would like someone, if someone knows of a pornography app,
00:26:06.740
they want to build one, and we want to work together to offer a cheaper alternative to people.
00:26:21.040
Like, my addiction, my addiction to look at sexual deviance online,
00:26:32.460
I don't have that addiction that's like, oh, you know, that young addiction.
00:26:36.820
Yeah, or like, I'm going to drive around naked like I had when I was young.
00:26:44.580
Women just want to be pen pals on those things.
00:26:47.380
It's a lot of, I think, I think it's a lot of lonely women just wanting to, yeah, stay in touch.
00:26:53.540
They thought I was catfishing ladies as Jay Moore.
00:27:01.640
I'm like, do I fight these people and go like, no, I am Jay Moore.
00:27:04.980
Let me go see a whole bunch of sixes and fives.
00:27:10.040
And then you're like, ladies are fucking up the dating app game.
00:27:21.600
She shows up to the date for the wall like fucking Kool-Aid.
00:27:43.240
All the trickery then having to show up somewhere.
00:27:54.700
By the way, I don't know if you know this, because you've only seen my face.
00:28:00.920
I don't know if you know this, because you've only, on the app, you know, you've only seen
00:28:07.440
But, yeah, I don't want you to be surprised or shocked or set back or put off, because
00:28:13.500
when you see all of me, I'm a big fat fuck, you know?
00:28:17.780
I'm just, I can put my hands in my pockets when I'm naked.
00:28:35.880
Well, I've been on these dating apps, you know?
00:28:41.380
That's good, because that one scrolls up and down, not left and right.
00:28:46.080
So if you want any information on the lady, I have to go down to the bottom, you know?
00:28:49.900
And then way at the bottom, it says she lives in St. Louis.
00:28:59.560
What am I, fucking, going to take her out for a bush beer?
00:29:09.640
And Norm, some people are saying you're still living with your mother.
00:29:15.620
I may drive around Akinus, Louisiana, naked, just because I like that gal that cuts her kid's
00:29:25.440
Ah, yeah, I like these girls on the apps that go long-term relationship only.
00:29:35.340
Nobody, Theo, walks onto a car a lot unless they want to buy a cock.
00:29:42.360
Have you been with some pretty bigger gals, Norm?
00:29:44.440
You seem like a guy that knows his way around a, you know, a real two-bedroom lady, you know?
00:30:10.160
No, on the dating app, I do do a joke on stage.
00:30:18.180
Like, nobody goes on a car a lot unless they want to buy a cock.
00:30:33.480
A question came in from a young male, actually.
00:30:41.540
This is your friend, Ryan, from Antioch, California.
00:30:44.840
Right now, I'm supposed to be delivering pizzas.
00:30:47.720
But the pressing thing in my life is asking you guys a question.
00:30:54.780
So my question is, is what is your favorite Norm MacDonald story?
00:30:59.960
I have a feeling I know what you're going to say, but who cares?
00:31:08.920
I don't know what story he's talking about that he thinks he knows I'm going to tell.
00:31:23.400
Big fat wife, big fat fuck, you know, giving you an ear beating.
00:31:28.120
And you, you know, I'll take care of everything.
00:31:33.700
And that guy is asking questions on the Theo Vaughn podcast.
00:31:39.060
Meanwhile, that fucking guy's wife digests him.
00:31:49.540
My favorite Norm MacDonald story is probably one you guys don't know.
00:32:20.700
Well, I was watching other people write and rewrite a sketch.
00:32:31.260
And it was a weight loss supplement, but it was just PCP and crack.
00:32:39.160
And then like, you know, when they show like a fat person becoming a skinny person, it
00:32:46.060
And David Spade's like, I'm going to help you lose weight.
00:32:53.180
And then they just have all these people like shrinking into like skeleton bodies.
00:33:01.720
And they have Farley, a pre-filmed piece of Farley at a drive-thru window that they're
00:33:10.620
And Farley pulls up to a drive-thru window and he goes, I'll have.
00:33:22.820
I'll have 14 cheeseburgers, 14 hamburgers, four vanilla milkshakes, six strawberry milkshakes,
00:33:36.980
And the rewrite, it was like from one in the morning till three in the morning.
00:33:44.500
Guys from Harvard, Brown, Yale arguing over what.
00:33:49.460
Oh, because the guy goes, will there be anything else?
00:33:51.800
And what he says next for two hours, they're like, how about he repeats the exact same
00:33:57.220
How about he says all that and goes, a diet Coke?
00:34:00.480
How about he says all that and goes, make that nine apple pies?
00:34:07.960
And what we didn't know was Norm was sitting on a couch at the other end of the writer's
00:34:21.300
Uh, and he goes, yeah, because he was like, yeah, anything else?
00:34:35.500
Hey, you guys got Chris going, give me all that food, like 14 of those things and 25 apple
00:34:43.360
And, uh, the guy in the box goes, uh, Hey, well, will that be all?
00:34:55.400
It's the greatest rewrite in the history of comedy.
00:35:01.900
I also want, and Norm's thing was like, he had pride, like he had control after all that
00:35:16.620
And then when they filmed it, he's like, I'll take 14 cheeseburgers and, um, 44 fries and
00:35:23.460
this and 22 cheese milkshakes and this and the apple pie.
00:35:38.980
Oh, here he said, asked me to write Dirty Work 2.
00:35:48.200
First of all, it's gotta be a parody tweet because it's a 500 page manuscript.
00:36:02.300
Wait, wait, what did he cross out before we wrote Norm?
00:36:16.680
She's rich and she has a beautiful face and we have a cat named Kitty and we love Kitty
00:36:21.720
like a child because, well, Marge cannot have children because the chemicals in her lab
00:36:37.680
Do you think one of the reasons that, um, what did Norm do after SNL?
00:36:45.300
He had a sports show on Comedy Central briefly.
00:36:54.300
Dude, he just made me laugh through you so hard.
00:36:57.100
That yes was probably the most I've laughed in months, man.
00:37:10.300
Like we'd argue over what's the name of high school.
00:37:12.840
It's like opening, opening shot of Jefferson High.
00:37:20.600
This, like all these things, you don't even know what it means.
00:37:23.980
David Spade the other day was, yeah, funny guy, man.
00:37:27.860
He was telling me a Norm MacDonald story where they all went on a plane to do a show somewhere
00:37:33.520
And he just said, one of the ways that Norm makes you laugh, he'll be like, well, what
00:37:37.720
And it's just like a door, you know, and they're like, or like a chair.
00:37:59.940
But he, he, and he went on like this five minute monologue of Norm MacDonald asking him
00:38:07.780
And it was one of the funniest things that I'd ever heard.
00:38:09.740
And it was just, yeah, he just says, I don't know if it's his voice or what it is about
00:38:14.200
Norm MacDonald that just makes, I mean, I don't know.
00:38:25.600
You can only get Norm MacDonald with Norm MacDonald.
00:38:27.160
It's the only sentient being that emits that transmission.
00:38:30.720
Like we all got like all these influences going through us at different times and regional
00:38:39.380
And now if I got like Norm walked into a place to get work, it'd be like, oh, nah, man.
00:38:48.560
It's just so, uh, they've missed a lot of norms.
00:38:52.060
I feel like, I feel like there's been a lot of norms over the years they might've missed.
00:39:04.920
And, uh, and let's talk about one of my favorite things, honestly, the holidays.
00:39:20.400
And I know it's crazy to talk about them this early, but, uh, but you don't want to go through
00:39:23.900
another holiday season taking closed mouth photos while everyone else is grinning ear
00:39:32.840

00:40:47.700
Now look, I can also tell you something special.
00:40:49.920
A little fella I know just won a million dollars, uh, betting on football.
00:41:00.400
And all this time I've been praying and doing these scratchers, sometimes you just got to
00:41:06.500
And, and, and for me, now, that's going to be my bookie.
00:41:11.800
You know, I might, I, you know, I got LSU coming up against Alabama in here a few weeks
00:41:15.320
and I know I'm going to lay a little bit of wager.
00:41:18.640
I got money tonight on the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets, plus nine and a half against New
00:41:25.920
If you're the kind of guy who likes to bet a little and win a lot, try a parlay.
00:41:31.980
If you like a couple of the big favorites, add them up, stack them.
00:41:35.260
You know, maybe you take a New Hampshire, maybe you take a Tallahassee, add them up.
00:41:43.440
But if you're going to bet this season, do the smart thing and go to my bookie.ag.
00:41:52.440
A lot of these gambling sites, they don't let you do the parlays.
00:41:55.840
They don't let you do the magic touches, but they do it at my bookie.ag.com.
00:42:03.740
And if you join right now, my bookie will double your first deposit.
00:42:09.560
If you want to lay 700 in there or 200 or 80, they're going to double that.
00:42:28.940
Artie Lang told me they were doing San Francisco together and Artie Lang was open for Norm.
00:42:34.560
They're in San Francisco and right before Artie goes on stage, Norm goes,
00:42:38.420
Hey, Artie, don't do any of that fag stuff, you know?
00:42:43.500
Don't, don't, don't do any, don't do any of that fag stuff out there.
00:42:49.220
San Francisco, you can't go out there and do homosexual jokes, you know?
00:42:55.280
And he's like, all right, I like, I like to, he goes, yeah, you can't, you can't do any of that gay fag stuff.
00:43:08.180
So Artie goes out this 20 minutes, Norm comes out his first joke.
00:43:17.040
They say AIDS does not discriminate, but only gay guys have it.
00:43:24.140
And I think not discriminating is supposed to be a good thing, something like that.
00:43:30.920
But she goes right on stage, hey, how many fags here have AIDS?
00:43:38.060
Hey, don't do any of that gay stuff, okay, Artie?
00:43:49.720
And he reminds me of like a Midwest and of like a, you know, of like just a, he reminds
00:43:55.640
me of like so many characters that you just don't see anymore, you know?
00:44:00.700
Yeah, I mean, you never have seen a guy like that.
00:44:05.580
Like guys like Norm, guys like Colin Quinn, guys like Richard Lewis.
00:44:12.240
Think of how much they had to bomb before they found a theater of people that came to
00:44:27.500
Like Dennis Miller's Off-White album and the HBO special that it was, was called Mr. Miller
00:44:34.160
I've listened to that more and it's done more for my comedy in my life than all comedy albums
00:44:39.940
Because he's making those crazy references and like, you know, two thirds of the audience
00:44:45.120
don't even know what it means, but the rhythm's still great.
00:44:46.980
But the people that do get it, they're never not going to see him.
00:44:56.020
So like Colin Quinn's stuff and like Norm's stuff.
00:44:59.880
Like when Richard Lewis got going, Emo Phillips.
00:45:02.600
Like these guys were so like, what, what's happening?
00:45:07.860
Guys like, like even Kinnison, like when Kinnison started, it was like, what's happening?
00:45:14.540
It's like listening to Poison and Cinderella and then Jane's Addiction comes along.
00:45:22.180
So then like the fact that they go out that like, they just, they were game.
00:45:26.680
You know, it's so true when you, and when I, like a lot of times people will submit me,
00:45:30.720
like people will submit music to, cause they want to be, they want it to be on the front
00:45:35.540
Cause sometimes we put new music on there, music from different listeners and stuff.
00:45:39.280
And, and it's awesome and I'm grateful for the submissions, but some of you are like,
00:45:43.060
oh, this band sounds just like this other band.
00:45:46.760
And then I started to think like, yeah, the real way to be novel is not to be like, okay,
00:45:58.560
It's to find whatever voice inside of you is different.
00:46:02.780
And it's going to be fucking rocky for a while because nobody's going to believe that that's
00:46:08.780
the next sound, that that's the thing until you get it fine tuned.
00:46:14.080
You know, I think you're, I think you're right, but I think you're alongside it.
00:46:18.960
And that is not find the voice that nobody else is doing.
00:46:25.360
And then maybe it's one that nobody else is doing.
00:46:27.560
Like Jane's addiction as an example, we were all, it was like poison, Cinderella, Motley
00:46:34.240
And then Jane's addiction, it was like all, it was all treble and his voice was real tinny
00:46:39.200
And Dave Navarro had these like landscape-y sounds.
00:46:49.020
Like in comedy, like they go, you ever do interviews and they're like, so what's your,
00:46:58.340
Like, what is, I don't even know what that means, but I get asked it, I've been asked
00:47:25.840
And that's why comedy is the greatest art form.
00:47:37.640
Comedy blows it out of the water and I can prove it.
00:47:40.660
The, the size, every single viewing, the materials change, the size of the frame changes, the way
00:47:50.700
One night it's like, it looks like a fucking Jackson Pollock.
00:47:53.420
Like the length of time it is, is different all the time.
00:47:56.360
The people looking at it, make it different every time.
00:48:01.260
Like we're, it's like a guy making a, making like a.
00:48:04.460
It's like making ravioli in a, in a matrix or something.
00:48:09.880
It's like, you're just working with, and like we control time.
00:48:15.480
You tell a story about when you were a kid, I was watching the cartoon about Halloween
00:48:26.100
But if I'm listening to that without the car, it was so funny, buddy.
00:48:33.940
But when you tell that story without that, without the cartoon for me to stare at, I'm
00:48:39.760
I'm, I'm in, I'm picturing the car and the heat in the car, you driving around naked
00:48:43.220
and the lady cutting her kid's hair on their front lawn.
00:48:56.400
You were probably in like a Ford Granada or something.
00:49:04.780
The other art goes, this is what you're looking at.
00:49:06.580
This is blue, that's orange and it's all like mishy mosh and it kind of looks like a
00:49:14.020
We say shit and the audience creates what it is in their head.
00:49:18.600
Like George Carlin goes, the best, to me, the best comedy, best sentence in comedy,
00:49:25.540
When he's talking about soft names make soft people.
00:49:27.500
I'm getting sick of guys named Todd and Cody and Dylan and Tucker.
00:49:37.500
You have to create your own Tucker in your head as an audience member.
00:49:50.220
Like fuck Tucker, Tucker, Tucker, Tucker sucks.
00:49:58.780
In that amount of time, you have to create a Tucker and go, I fucking hate the guy I just
00:50:14.100
Oh, you'll fire a fucking, you'll light an arrow up.
00:50:15.440
You just gotta create a human being in your head.
00:50:19.160
You'll fucking put an arrow in gas and light it and fucking fire it into a damn field of
00:50:28.680
Are you, are you watching, are you watching any sports?
00:50:41.100
It's about the, look, let's not, let's not, let's call a spade a spade.
00:50:56.900
To make inroads in China and go like, eee, don't do that.
00:51:12.040
But at times there are ramifications for the negative that can happen when you're not thinking
00:51:17.760
about others and you're only thinking about yourself.
00:51:19.780
So I don't believe, I don't want to get into a word or sentence feud with Daryl, with Daryl
00:51:29.340
But I believe he wasn't educated on, on the situation at hand and, and he spoke and so
00:51:36.620
many people could have been harmed, not only financially, but physically, emotionally,
00:51:42.020
So just be careful what we, what we tweet and we say and what we do, even though, yes,
00:51:47.860
we do have freedom of speech, but there can be a lot of negative that comes with that
00:51:52.600
Ice-T, freedom of speech, just watch what you say.
00:51:59.220
Once you become part of him because it affected his, his bottom line.
00:52:04.360
Like if somebody, if like Rob Palenka tweeted that, he wouldn't have that take.
00:52:10.980
It's family, but it's the guy from the Rockets.
00:52:15.240
Like if you're not educated on the issues, like what education do I need?
00:52:23.640
They could have been physically like, I know people in the Lakers organization that were
00:52:35.320
He was over there and he said the second that, that it all kind of went down, that after
00:52:41.860
You know, when Nixon went to China and the motorcade from the airport to whatever, like
00:52:46.900
the ambassador's palace, everybody on the street was an actor playing a person on the
00:52:55.540
They hired actors to be the guy with the newspaper walking to his car.
00:53:02.440
Like just people, just Nixon looking out the window going, find people here.
00:53:08.120
They were just praying they're doing the roles.
00:53:19.720
Did comedy over there for a lot of expats, a lot of.
00:53:25.880
It was, um, it's probably been a year and a half ago.
00:53:37.340
You can't show up in China with no papers and mill around.
00:53:50.260
Now there's love and there's a lot of like, you know, like, but they're moving forward.
00:53:55.120
And they're like, we're using you as nutrients.
00:53:56.920
We're going to go build, you know, do whatever we need to do.
00:54:01.820
Dude, you got people fucking blowing drywall with their own mouths, bro.
00:54:08.480
Dude, you'll have one guy mixing asbestos and another guy's open mouth, bro.
00:54:16.100
I think the easiest job in the world, because comedy is maybe one of the hardest ones, right?
00:54:34.000
Guy comes in and goes, oh my God, Chinese police.
00:54:53.380
Dude, it's a, no, it's a, that's fucking great.
00:54:56.840
I think like the easiest job in the world is probably police sketch artist in China, you
00:55:01.760
Some guy comes in with a straight, hey, Chinese policeman, I just got robbed.
00:55:12.800
We thought he was an Italian with Down syndrome.
00:55:15.620
Or that could also be Jim Norton if he has to run to the airport in like an hour and catch
00:55:24.580
Because he gets a little more antsy when he has to go.
00:55:28.920
Either way, both of them are fucking immaculate.
00:55:40.680
You know, we've been sitting here over an hour, you know?
00:55:56.960
Like, you know, if you want to set things on stuff or you don't want to hold on to stuff
00:56:06.060
And I may have been born at night, but I wasn't born last night.
00:56:09.920
But if I want to set things go, like emotional baggage or past relationships or regret, I
00:56:32.240
Now, do you have to make a table out of a certain kind of wood or...
00:56:43.460
Well, you know, 47th time is the charm is what no one ever says, you know?
00:56:51.280
Do you think with these athletes getting back to the basketball, do you think with these
00:56:57.480
It's not even like a person on the court anymore.
00:57:08.460
He's usually very outspoken because the commissioner wanted the players to be available for the
00:57:14.040
media in China, but the commissioner in the NBA hadn't had an official statement yet.
00:57:18.560
So, LeBron was the guy that led the players to say, whoa, whoa, whoa, you haven't spoken
00:57:28.900
We're not going to go talk and get fed to the wolves.
00:57:31.760
So, like, that's LeBron's power, is they're like, okay, it's media day, and LeBron's like,
00:57:38.600
We're not doing media because you have not spoken to the media.
00:57:46.800
Just today, the Chinese state broadcaster said Commissioner Adam Silver will face retribution
00:57:53.320
sooner or later for saying that Beijing wanted him to fire Daryl Morey.
00:58:17.260
Bro, they're game, and when the dog goes in the cage, they fucking decorate, you know...
00:58:20.820
Me and you go to China, we'll fucking clean house.
00:58:33.660
How do they have retribution to the NBA commissioner?
00:58:36.120
Like, they're gonna fucking slap his neck when he's sleeping?
00:58:39.180
They'll probably get three guys on each other's shoulders, put them in a, like, a warm-up
00:58:43.260
outfit, get them onto a team, and just have them doing wild layups, and then...
00:58:49.080
I think we all know how the Chinese are gonna have retribution to Adam Silver, and that
00:58:58.180
One Laker fan raised $43,000 to hand out Stand with Hong Kong t-shirts at the Lakers season
00:59:44.740
I think everybody in the stands should be like this.
00:59:47.960
Every time there's a free throw, everybody just go like...
00:59:53.220
Like every time there's a free throw, you see the audience, they're waving like those
00:59:57.840
Like some guy goes to the line for a free throw.
01:00:14.340
It's their right to throw me at a Staples Center too.
01:00:21.320
But you'll have so many people in America, it's like, oh, we got to...
01:00:28.040
We have to make America more like China so people from China can fit in.
01:00:31.280
But if you made America more like China, then you'd be making it a fucking...
01:00:49.200
I just found out I was bipolar three weeks ago.
01:01:22.200
One of my favorites of all time is one that flies under the radar, I feel, and that's Mafia.
01:01:32.440
I would love to know a little bit more about how that came to be made, and if you have
01:01:41.420
Also, really enjoyed the doc that you made about HR from Bad Brains.
01:01:47.900
I didn't know that your background was in hardcore punk, stuff like that.
01:01:53.020
Do you have any other favorite bands from the genre, from the era, whether it's New York,
01:01:59.160
Hey, will you pull up, if you go to YouTube, Finding Joseph.
01:02:04.900
So, Mafia is one of my favorite movies I ever did, for many different reasons.
01:02:14.580
I had done 14 movies, and that was my first comedy.
01:02:16.800
But it wasn't really a comedy for me, because it's the guys that did Airplane and Hotshot.
01:02:26.860
So, everything I said, I had to say straight, and all the craziness happens around that.
01:02:33.980
Like, she's not acting like a joke, like an airplane.
01:02:43.260
I made good dough, and it's the only movie I ever auditioned for that they told me I had
01:03:07.540
This is a documentary I made with James Lathos, the director.
01:03:10.920
He handed me a whole bunch of footage of the band Bad Brains, and we sort of redirected
01:03:20.860
And this was, I'm as proud of this as anything I've ever done.
01:03:29.680
Greetings in the name of His Imperial Majesty, Jeff Rastafari.
01:03:35.500
My name is Ross Hialu Gabriel Josefai, a.k.a. HR.
01:03:44.140
Well, he's a lot of things, but number one, he's the best vocalist ever.
01:03:47.880
He was the guy who made me feel like anything was possible.
01:03:54.380
So, if you happen to witness when it was like lightning striking, you got the feel, it was
01:03:58.260
like, you can see that on stage, like, he believes he's worshiping God.
01:04:04.440
That's an it thing that not many people have, that rock star it factor.
01:04:11.020
So, we're watching a show, and he's doing a song, and he does a backflip, and he lands
01:04:20.000
And this is a documentary you produced, directed?
01:04:33.760
They're one of the most important punk bands ever.
01:04:38.260
A bunch of black guys doing punk, a bunch of Rastas.
01:04:50.120
He's like one, he bows at the altar of Bad Brains.
01:05:16.200
And Jane's Addiction, Perry Farrell, was asked what their music sounds like.
01:05:19.680
And he goes, we're a cross between Duke Ellington and Bad Brains.
01:05:28.540
Dude, you're one of the neatest Bad Brains I know, man.
01:05:44.580
Because you have bananas where your hair should be.
01:06:14.020
They say in Hawaii, this guy once said to me, I was breaking his balls, we were shooting
01:06:35.940
Dude, you know what they say, don't come on my back and tell me it's raining, brother.
01:06:40.560
Let me know you're coming on my back so I can enjoy it.
01:07:03.120
Why is everybody doing, like, acting performances for their questions?
01:07:06.320
Like, I'm supposed to be delivering pizzas, but I'm, like, everybody's Shatner.
01:07:43.600
I mean, I'm glad that guy is supporting the podcast, but also, that guy has on no shirt
01:07:52.960
He's in his gym, fucking putting in work, and in the middle of working out, he goes,
01:08:03.820
You got to look it up, because the director panicked and sold it to a lesser distributor.
01:08:09.340
It should be on iTunes and fucking Netflix, but the director took a little more money
01:08:30.480
Do you do this every week, a couple times a week?
01:08:33.120
We've been doing less guests, but I'd talk to you forever.
01:08:37.360
You just shelve it and make it an evergreen show.
01:08:51.040
Hey, remember what the fly said when he was walking over the mirror, Theo.
01:08:58.240
Now I'm getting addicted to doing Norm's, like, quiet voice.
01:09:05.600
We were like, yeah, we were going across Ontario.
01:09:08.820
And everyone's like, I don't know, this bad guy.
01:09:11.960
That's like when you really can get an impression.
01:09:44.220
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind I found.
01:09:54.320
But it's going to take a little time For me to set that parking brake And let myself
01:10:04.360
unwind Shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my stories
01:10:15.220
Shine on me And I will find a song I will sing it
01:10:27.800
And now I've been moving way too fast On a runaway train with a heavy load of my
01:10:38.420
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Jonathan Kite, and welcome to Kite Club, a podcast where I'll
01:10:47.140
be sharing thoughts on things like current events, stand-up stories, and seven ways to
01:10:58.880
And as always, I'll be joined by the voices in my head.
01:11:16.380
Anyone who doesn't listen to Kite Club is a dodgy bloody wanker.
01:11:22.440
I'll take a quarter pounder with cheese and a McFlurry.
01:11:25.400
Sorry, sir, but our ice cream machine is broken.
01:11:32.200
Anyway, first rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.
01:11:36.360
Second rule of Kite Club is, tell everyone about Kite Club.
01:11:40.580
Third rule, like and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, or watch us on YouTube,
01:11:46.360
And yes, don't worry, my Brad Pitt impression will get better.
