00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: for that. Before we get to the interview with Gary Owen,

25
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: I do think we need to talk a little bit

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: about Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. Just crazy how

27
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: this player empowerment stuff has taken off. Guys. You need

28
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: to give um Lebron James a lot of credit. You

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: need to give Kevin Durant a lot of credit. People

30
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: are deciding that I don't care about conventional wisdom, saying

31
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: this team drafted me. I need to stay there. I

32
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: need to be loyal. And we're seeing it in the

33
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: NFL so much this offseason. Okay, we saw Carson Wentz.

34
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: Things went south. He demanded a trade. They said, we don't,

35
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: we don't want you anymore. Dude, You're done. Matt Stafford said,

36
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: you know what, we had a good run in Detroit.

37
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: I need to go somewhere else. You guys bringing in

38
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: a new coach. Boom, Matt Stafford trading Jared Goff just

39
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: took the ramp to the Super Bowl a couple of

40
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: years ago. He gone, and I gotta say I wasn't

41
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: buying the Russell Wilson smoke. But if you read that story,

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: there was a story in the Athletic that was pretty

43
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: damning about Russell Wilson feuding with the Seattle Seahawks front office,

44
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: with the coaching staff, with Pete Carroll, and you know,

45
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: Albert Brier came on earlier. I was like, you know what,

46
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: Russell was a little upset, and then Seattle pushback saying

47
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: we're upset to you know, we can leak stuff to

48
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: the media as well. And then you read these these

49
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, these truths that happened behind the scenes, and

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: it's like, whoa, Well, things are kind of ugly now,

51
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: as everybody knows. You know, marriages can be difficult, Quarterback

52
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: coach relationships can be difficult. Um things go south quick

53
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. The weird thing is Seattle hasn't gone south.

54
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Russ has been there for nine seasons. They've been five

55
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: better in all nine, and they made the playoffs in

56
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: eight of them. Because I guess the problem is they

57
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl early in Russa's career, they

58
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: got a taste of it, and they haven't been back.

59
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: So then the narrative begins to build, Well, did the

60
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: legion of Boom carry them? Is russ really worth the

61
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: franchise money since we had to pay him, haven't got

62
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: back to an NFC title game. And it's a weird

63
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: narrative because all the advanced numbers love Russell Wilson. He's dominating.

64
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: And if you look really closely, where did Seattle spend

65
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: the money? Early in Russa's career, when he was on

66
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: the rookie deal, being a third round pit their offensive

67
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: line was phenomenal. Marshawn Lance had holes to run through,

68
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Ross was protected. You could spend lavishly on the defense.

69
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: You gotta pay Ross, and they stopped paying the offensive

70
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: line and they whipped on a bunch of picks and

71
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: suddenly the offensive line is crumbling, the secondary is need

72
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: to be rebuilt, and you know, russ was kind of

73
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: the last man standing, and there was an interesting breakdown.

74
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: You know, they said we're gonna let Russ cook this season,

75
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: and for the first six or seven games he's on fire.

76
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: Then he has a bad game against Buffalo, in Buffalo,

77
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: and I remember that game because I had Seattle. I

78
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: bet them, and Russ was a turnover machine. I think

79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: he had four turnovers and Seattle was, you know, obviously crushed.

80
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: And then next week he came out against the Rams.

81
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: It was pretty clearly shaken and the Rams were, of course,

82
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in the league last year,

83
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: and he turned it over three more times and that's

84
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: when Pete Carroll said, no more, no Moss, it's over.

85
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna run the football, and Russ was not happy

86
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: and they became a different team. Like when you try

87
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: to run the football and you don't have a good

88
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: offensive line, you're not gonna move the football. And I

89
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: wish I had known about this inner turmoil. I would

90
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: have a bet on Seattle against the New York Giants,

91
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: one of my worst losses of the season. I had

92
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: a good season, positive made money, finished above five uh

93
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: in in the Vegas contest, had a good season, and

94
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Seattle kept catching me up. It's some bad, bad losses

95
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: that Giants loss. I mean, I don't I don't know

96
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: how Seattle could stomach that one. And it's just one

97
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: of those weird situations where it's like, Okay, Russ is unhappy.

98
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: We get it. Seattle not thrilled that Russ is voicing

99
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: this displeasure, but it's understandable, you know, he's a star.

100
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: And Lebron said, I'm unhappy. I'm going to Lakers. Kevin

101
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: Durant said, I think I'm done here, and okay, see,

102
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Golden State that I'm gonna go

103
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn, and Aaron Rodgers is chirping, and Tom Brady says,

104
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm done in New England. I'm going to Tampa. And

105
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: he wins the Super Bowl, and yeah, Russ is willing

106
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: to pop off and say whatever the hell he wants.

107
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: But this is where it gets interesting. After that athletic

108
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: story came out big brush fire on Thursday, and then

109
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: of course Adam Schefter coming over the top with Russ

110
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: has a no trade cause, but he would accept a

111
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: trade to four teams. And this is the one that's

112
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna get everybody rattled. The Dallas Cowboys. Russell Wilson would

113
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: go there and play, and folks, Russell Wilson to the

114
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys makes all the sense in the world, because,

115
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: let's be honest, he's more of a proven commodity than

116
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Russ. You know he signed that four year,

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: hundred forty million dollar extension. Believe it or not, guy

118
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: who's been doing Super Bowl twice comes in cheaper than

119
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott's asking for. So what do you do now?

120
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: If you're Dallas? This is where it gets super interesting. Listen,

121
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: we know Pete Carroll wants to run the football and

122
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: play defense. That's his m O. He's made that clear.

123
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Hey Pete, Um, We'll give you Ezekiel Elliott and three

124
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: draft picks. Give us Russ. Does Pete Caroline and Schneider

125
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: bite in Seattle? I'll tell you right now, Russell Wilson

126
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: with those receivers and a healthy offensive line, Dallas all

127
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're the favorites folk show in that division.

128
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: I think it's Washington right now. We'll see what happens.

129
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: It's still early, but I think Washington, which got to

130
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, uh is the favorite of the NFC. But

131
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: if Russell Wilson goes there, holy hell, that's the team

132
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: to be. I mean, he's a proven commodity. I know

133
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: people like Dak and they think of going after him.

134
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going after him. Um, you know, the coming

135
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: off the injury. I'm gonna give him thirty seven mill

136
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: when the cap hit for Russell Wilson in its thirty

137
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: two million dollars, dat wants thirty seven point seven franchise

138
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: tag or more. Really, now, there is an out in

139
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: Russ's deal after So if you're Dallas, you back up

140
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: the brinks for us, then you gotta sign him to

141
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: another deal or you just keep him and and Russ honestly,

142
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: at thirty seven next year could be a bargain if

143
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: some of these other quarterbacks get paid. So I don't

144
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: entirely think that this is a terrible idea. Jerry Jones

145
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: is a gambler. He made a lot of his money

146
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: gambling early in his career as a financial wizard. Now

147
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: let's not getting a wizard title. Jerry Jones made a

148
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: lot of money gambling. He's a risk taker, he always

149
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: has been. This is a risk Jerry Joe needs to take.

150
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Get Russell Wilson to Dallas and the Cowboys they get

151
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: back on the super Bowl track. Dot could not get

152
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: them on the super Bowl track. He could not. Russell

153
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Wilson's the guy. I would love to see it Jerry

Speaker 1: funny as hell, and everybody knows you from movies. Um,

174
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: And the one scene I want to ask you about

175
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: before we get to the Pandemic Comedy shows is the

176
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: basketball scene with Kevin Hart and Matt Barnes and run

177
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 1: our Test Lisa Leslie from Think Like a Man. Could

178
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: we start there because I'm just curious, did you play

179
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: pick up basketball? Well? It was interesting about the movie

180
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: was Um, we were playing three on three in between

181
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: takes the cast with me, I guard it really? Uh

182
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: who was on my team? It was me, Um, Jerry,

183
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: Kevin and really it was me, Romney and Terrence j

184
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: and uh. We end up winning fifty two to fifty one.

185
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: I'll still remember the score. We kept a running score

186
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: today because we we were shooting about a week in

187
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: that gym. And then the NBA guys showed up. Yeah, people,

188
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: did you guys run with them at all? Or now? No? No,

189
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: here's what people don't realize. And to be able, what

190
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: do they call basketball? Because football's Monday morning quarterback? So

191
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: as yeah, I don't think there is an NBA equivalent, right,

192
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: So when you see him up close, like, um, Darren Collison,

193
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: who's NBA player vet, But you wouldn't think like Jordan

194
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: Lebron type deal. This is true story. They said, Yo, Gary,

195
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: Darren's gonna dunk on you. Um. Once we say action,

196
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: you guys jump and books. So I pulled Darren aside

197
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I'm gonna jump straight up. I'm not

198
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: gonna touch you. So just you know, do it whatever

199
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: kind of dunk you want to do. I'm not gonna

200
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: be that close. They said action. He jumped so fast.

201
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: I hadn't started to jump yet. So they got action

202
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: and I went, oh, I didn't like his calf was

203
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: in my faith? Yeah right, And I went, oh, I didn't.

204
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: I didn't know you could do that. I didn't. You

205
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: can jump up fast, and that's an do you play?

206
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: Do you play a lot of pick up basketball at all?

207
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: Or not? Really? I used to, but mid forties, those

208
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: days are over. Wait, what what what's up? I'm in

00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: three on three before the NBA guys showed up? Who

00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: was the best in that group from the movie? Really? Oh,

214
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: Michael really was the best? Not even close. I was

215
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: probably second Oh, that's not bad. It's Kevin Hart. Probably sucks, right,

00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart. Stop, he's decent. You guys must be close.

217

218
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: that we've done three three films together. And yeah, I'm curious,

219
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: how did you guys, how did you cultivate that friendship?

220
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,240

00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: or um, he just take a liking to you because

222

229
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: bring them five. And then we met and then we

230
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: just stayed cool over the years and think like a man.

231
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't like Kevin casting me. It was like, it's

232
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: just organically I got in the movie, he got in

233
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: the movie, and it's kind of happened same a ride along.

234
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: It just so happened. The director and producer called me as, oh,

235
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: we got this scene. We think you'd be funny with that.

236
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: You put the honey onion, take your clothes off. And

237
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: I was like all right, I'm yeah, all right, So

238
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: let's get to comedy. During the pandemic. Um, it's I'm

239
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: out here in l A and like nothing's open. Obviously

240
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people talked about Joe Rogan leaving California. Um,

241
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: how has it been for you? Are you able to

242
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: do a lot of comedy? Yeah, it's most clothes are

243
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: half full, so they hold three hundred, it's a hundred

244
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: fifty seats. Like this weekend, I'm in Nashville, so we're

245
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: at We're at ten shows right now, but really it's

246
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: five shows for what I'm used to. I mean, but

247
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I'm just happy to be working.

248
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot of entertainment fields that can't work right now,

249
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: so it really hasn't been that that I'm used to

250
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: it now. Honestly, it's gonna be weird when it goes

251
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: back to being full comedy clubs at this point, because

252
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: I've been going for about six months straight. So now

253
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm used to like a hundred people in the room.

254
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: So so you were out of action for what like

255
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: three or four months? And then what last summer it

256
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: started to pick up. Yeah, late last summer, like late July.

257
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: That's how did you keep yourself busy during those first

258
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: initial months? I mean, I know a lot of people

259
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: were like panicked over COVID not leaving the house. Uh, well,

260
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: how did you handle it? I got to know my dog.

261
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: We were taking epic walks. It was actually kind of

262
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: cool because I got I got to know my neighbors.

263
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: I never knew my neighbors because I'm gone every weekend.

264
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Oh we we're just moving this new neighborhood, and um,

265
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: I got to know everybody. So it was actually kind

266
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: of cool. I got to meet people. So now I'm

267
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: actually waving and I know, Hey, John Kevin, I know

268
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: who people are. Now, what's up? Rick? Uh? You got

269
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: stuck in Texas recently when it turned into an entire

270
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: poop show? How much fun was that? This is like

271
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: a day JABU moment. I feel like you asked me

272
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: this question already, but anybody just the Ground Day podcast? No,

273
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: it was you know, I woke up and I said

274
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: on Instagram and in in um Facebook, I was out

275
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: of power and water for three days. Really it was

276
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: Monday morning when I woke up to Wednesday night it

277
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: came back on. Um, so it's two and a half

278
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: but I had woke upp use the bathroom totally didn't flush.

279
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: Then I realized the lights wasn't working, and that's when

280
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: I had to go down the front desk and ask

281
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: what's going on, and they said, we have no water,

282
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: no power, and we don't know when it's coming back

283
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: on and uh. And I couldn't go anywhere because I

284
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: had a rental car. The highways were shut down. So

285
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: when I say stuck, you're stuck. And there's this is

286
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: how I had to get by the two and a

287
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: half days using the restroom is Luckily the employee knew

288
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: who I was, so there was a second floor bathroom

289
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: that the employees used and he could unlock it. And

290
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: he unlocked it and it was funny because you know,

291
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: if you're not to get me disgusting, but urninals or urinals,

292
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: you can use them, um, but the sit down ones

293
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: when you gotta handle business. There was like six dolls

294
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: and you can only use them once. And it wasn't flushing,

295
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: and so by Wednesday, they were out. They were out,

296
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: not because of MAB, they were out. That's when you

297
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: double mask, like I have. I have a new found

298
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: respect for the wild wild West. So that's interesting. I'm

299
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: curious when the guy knows you from your comedy and

300
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: then he's like, yeah, you can use my crapper. Uh

301
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: is that? Is there any awkward moments there? Are you

302
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: trying to crack a joker? Is it just like this

303
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: is all business man? Appreciate it, thank you. So you

304
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: know this is what town is? This what we what

305
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: town is? Okay? So did you hit up the river

306
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: Walk for food or like I mean, would you did?

307
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: The restaurants were closed, cooks could not get to work,

308
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: so I had Luckily, I had some snacks in my

309
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 1: room and a friend of mine has a gym, and

310
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: I was able to get to his gym through back

311
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: roads and literally it took me an hour to go

312
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: about eight miles and he had power, didn't have water,

313
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: but he had power. I went there, actually worked out,

314
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: got the worry out in and then uh he had

315
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: a vending machine. So I just literally I think I

316
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: was thin. It was like eight, no, about twelve muscle milks.

317
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: Got those and then I had almonds. I literally I

318
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: think I spent machine. And then you go back to

319
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: the hotel and poop in the like executive poop room,

320
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: and oh they must have been glorious. I only I

321
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: only dropped too, all right, I was fighting it. Yeah,

322
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm assuming that's been the worst experience during

323
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: the pandemic on the road, or maybe had there been

324
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: others that bad? Well, you know, I was at a

325
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: Western Marriott, so there were people riding this out at

326
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 1: Motel sixes in red roof inn. I mean there's been

327
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: stand up when you first start, you know, you're staying

328
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: at shitty hotels and for shitty pay. And uh, I

329
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: even said, I go, man, I'm so glad, I told

330
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: my open I'm glad we're riding this out at this hotel.

331
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: Can you imagine a disgusting hotel? Yeah? Oh my goodness. Well, so,

332
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, so things have changed a lot for comedy.

333
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: You you had said earlier, like you you may be

334
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: anticipate things getting back to normal, But Gary, I don't know,

335
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: man out here in l A, I don't think that's

336
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: on the horizon at all. I hate to be negative

337
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: about it, but I just don't see like I've been

338
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: betting with friends, Like we think you'll be wearing a

339
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: mask in a grocery store until next year. That could

340
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: be possible, especially in California. You got other parts of

341
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: the country. I don't. I don't think it never had it.

342
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: I think I think Texas was a three day weekend

343
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: and got jeez. So have you thought about relocating at

344
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: all or no? Um, not necessarily. I still have a

345
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: we still have a place in Ohio. So Ohio wants

346
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: to do it, but they're not allowed. Like they want

347
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: to be Florida. They want to be Texas, but they're

348
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: just not allowed. Yeah, they got the leadership issues. All right,

349
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 1: let's get to sports. Gary. Uh, obviously I know you

350
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: played basketball, but we need to talk about your Bengals

351
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: And um, you know Joe Burrow last year was great

352
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: and then he got into heard and um, how how

353
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: long do we have to wait until this is a

354
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: playoff team? Oh? You know, I'm I'm I'm the wrong guy.

355
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm off the mistake this year? Oh come on, man,

356
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 1: they had three teams in division last year. Get to

357
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: the playoffs every year? What does it? Four new teams

358
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? Something like that consistently. Oh yeah, all right,

359
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: So who's give me the who's dropping in your division? Lamar?

360
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 1: By the way, are you a believer in Lamar Jackson?

361
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 1: I am a believer. Uh. They need a number one receiver. Yeah,

362
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: more than anything they should be. I don't know who

363
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: they gotta give, but they gotta get somebody. Um, and

364
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: they need to get him now because Lamar is like

365
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: he's a gym, like he'll you need to work with

366
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: that guy in the offseason a build a report. Um.

367
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy, but I wouldn't be a

368
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: If I'm Baltimore, I go after Oh b J? Why

369
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: not really the number one? I mean, all he does

370
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: is complain I need the ball, he complained to Eli Manning.

371
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: He complained to Baker Mayfield, like do you really want

372
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: Lamar here? In the gripes from O b J? That's

373
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: why you get him in the off season. I think

374
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: Lamar is. I think it's it's different. I think it's different.

375
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: There's respect. They have the same experiences. They know there

376
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: is a there is something to be said about. Um.

377
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: They're both brothers, you know, guy, Yeah, there is some there.

378
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You could talk to him

379
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: and he probably get offended aside. Yeah, yeah, you're probably.

380
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: I can see O b J hang out with Lamar

381
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: a lot more on his downtime than I do with

382
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Eliar Baker. Yes, I would have. I would have largely

383
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: agree with that. But I'll say, you know, like listen,

384
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: it's it's almost you gotta be careful when you make

385
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: fun of Lamar Jackson or even criticize it because people

386
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: are so defensive. But like he said, one comeback victory

387
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: in his entire career, like if they get if they

388
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: start trailing, he starts seeing the shoulders slump, the head down.

389
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: He just gets in like this negative funk. I don't

390
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: see that with Burrow. I mean he just fear He

391
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: feels fearless and never like we can't just come back

392
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: and win. Oh yeah, and you know what I was

393
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: talking to, um, I was talking to Andre Johnson, the

394
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: wide re'ce here for the Texans and I still name

395
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: drop there. Yeah, well that's what I do. But uh

396
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: he uh, he brought something up because I want to

397
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: give credit where credit was due. You know, anybody I

398
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: meet in NFL or they know me the immediately talking

399
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: about the Bengals, just like your podcast. So if I'm

400
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: in a um, if I'm in a social state, I

401
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: wish your Bengal is gonna do right when I asked them. Now,

402
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: the way I feel, we have the franchise quarterback we've

403
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: been looking for. And this is not a knock on

404
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: an your Carson Palmer. Immediately bring up Joe Burrow. And

405
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: Andre said, what I never thought of was the difference

406
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: between Joe Burrow and a lot of these other high

407
00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: first round quarterbacks that are white, is he came from

408
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: a poverty stricken area. We're the only way out is

409
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: sports words. You don't see doctors and lawyers and you

410
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: know all that coming from Athens, Ohio like that. So

411
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: his dog is a little different, like he's got that

412
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: Oh it's me against the world and the only thing

413
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: I can do is football, you know. And he's not

414
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, he's not Carson Palmer. He's not a California

415
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: kid that's got options. Yeah, you know, he's like, oh,

416
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: I don't I don't go to the beach. I played

417
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: football all day every day when he played basketball. You know,

418
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: this is what I do. I think he really believes

419
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: you give me in the NBA apparently he was a

420
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: great basketball player in high school, a you recruited and

421
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: all that. It's interesting you say that because I'm sure

422
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: you heard the story about him getting in a fight

423
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: at l s U with Devin White, the linebacker who

424
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: ended up in Tampa, and like Joe Burrow didn't back down.

425
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: According to the reports, they were like he was right

426
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: in there, like yo, what's your problem? Like they were

427
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: beefing and not back in down. There's something to be

428
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: said for that. But um, Gary, you said that Andy

429
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: Dalton was a franchise quarterback. No, I said, this is

430
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: not a knock on an ok we have are There

431
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: were always questions about Carson. There were always questions about Andy.

432
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: There's no question. If he's healthy and you surround him

433
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: with the white right talent, Joe Burrow is going to succeed.

434
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: There's no question he can. He can succeed with lesser talent.

435
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: That's a franchise quarterback, and he needed talent around him.

436
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: Even Carson needed something. But yeah, I don't care. Where

437
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: are you on on the Bengals coach? Uh? He got

438
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: the job apparently because he had coffee with Sean McVeigh once.

439
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: But I mean I've seen nothing from this guy at

440
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: all to prove he's a head coach. Now, do you

441
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: think they kept him this year because they're like they

442
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: didn't want to change too much with Burrow or any thoughts? Yeah,

443
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: I say that that's what they did. They called Joe

444
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: Burrow and so you will like him or what? Let

445
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: me try another year. Let's let's try to phone call

446
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: was do you want to you want to ride another

447
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: year with them or not? And if I bet you

448
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: Joe is it? Now? I'm good on this dude. He

449
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: would have been gone, you know what I mean. That's

450
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: what I think, And I think you gotta give every

451
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 1: coach three years. He's not um who who is Cleveland's

452
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: coach before Hugh Jackson the one year guy? Oh? Oh no,

453
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: no though, um Freddie Kitchens. Yeah he's not that we

454
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: know that. Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean, Like,

455
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: you gotta, I think any coach. The first year was

456
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: kind of a wash because he was trying to figure

457
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: out what he had. I'm sure there was some topic.

458
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: There was clearly some toxic players in the locker room,

459
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: so we got rid of them. He brings in the

460
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: franchise guy. So this really was his first year with

461
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: his team. Yeah, and it looked like they were starting

462
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: to do some things. I think they would have won

463
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: that Washington game if Burrow doesn't get hurt. I had

464
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: money on that game. By the way, Well the backup

465
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks suck. But you know, Garry, something interesting came up.

466
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: I was like watching what I say about Lamar Jackson

467
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: like a little woods and um, I don't know in

468
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: comedy right now, there is this I don't know fear

469
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: is the right word, but like, how do you tow

470
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: that line? Because you know, if that social media mob

471
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: starts coming after you, ship can get Harry real quick.

472
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: Like how do you handle how are you handling that

473
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: now versus I don't know five years ago where anything go,

474
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: anything went. Do you go to a live comedy show,

475
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: anything still goes. That's why I know that there's between

476
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: social media and real fans, because fans that pay money

477
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: to see you, Uh, they're still coming out. They still

478
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: want to lap, they still want to hear the uncomfortable

479
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: made comfortable. Yeah, the social media people that come after you,

480
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm always like, you were never gonna pay the scene anyways,

481
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: So your opinion means nothing to me. Your criticism. Criticism

482
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: means nothing. Now, if you paid money to come to

483
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: a show and you send me a message or you

484
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: send me a d M in some form and explain

485
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: why you didn't like this particular joke. But you've been

486
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: a fan of mine for years, I'll engage in that person,

487
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: and I'll listen to that person. I've actually had some

488
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: pretty good back and force with fans um on d

489
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: m s and stuff because I you know, I wanted

490
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: to come back to see me and I appreciate them

491
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: spending time. And it always ends the same. It always

492
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: ends with glad you reached out to me. Gary. We

493
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: got a difference of opinion, but I'm still rocking with you.

494
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: We're still cool. It never ends with fu fu f

495
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: you because I don't come at him like that. I

496
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: kind of explain my point of view. I listened to theirs.

497
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: But but if you just attack me over a joke

498
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: because you appreciate it, I'm like this, Yeah, I'm with

499
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: you on that. But you know, I we had a

500
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: comedian on a while back. He had done um some

501
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: something on a college campus, which is a little riskier

502
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: than a paid show in a comedy club. And you

503
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: know these college students are very sensitive. Gary, Uh, you know,

504
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. I personally am on your side, like

505
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: I want you to lay lay it all out, you know,

506
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: like I want the funny. I'm going they're ready to

507
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: be offended by stuff, and maybe there'll be a grown

508
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: or two, but I like that. I got no problem

509
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: with it. Have you had any of those near misses though,

510
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: where you were like, oh, these guys they're coming after me,

511
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: and like, what's the move? What do you do? Do

512
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: you just avoid it? Do you take a head on

513
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: or well keyword there was college. Yeah. I haven't done

514
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: a college in like five years. And that's because it's

515
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: like they come to get offended. It's weird. They don't

516
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: they don't know their voice yet, so they're trying to

517
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: find it. So if they can find Oh I didn't

518
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: like that, I can make some noise I hate. I know.

519
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: I'm getting older too, so I'm a little out of

520
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: touch with what they want to me to talk about sometimes.

521
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, the college, if you ask any comedians, I

522
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: bet you a hunter will be like college gigs or

523
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: hell gigs. It's a it's a good paycheck and you're

524
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: just everything's You're like everything's good about the gig except

525
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: the gig. Yeah, so you stopped going to the doll

526
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I mean, Miami, this is crazy.

527
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: Dang this team. Oh you know you did stand up

528
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins. I've roasted a lot of teams.

529
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is college gigs, and you know,

530
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: it's great to be a young guy drafted in Miami.

531
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: But a couple of years ago, it was like, God, damn,

532
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: we're not going to playoffs forgot to play Brady twice

533
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: a year. This is terrible. Yeah yeah, yeah, has have

534
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: any player has been offended when you've roasted teams? Terrell

535
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: Suggs didn't like me for a little while. Oh t Sizzle.

536
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: Now he's not to be trifled with. Garry. Yeah. Yeah,

537
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: here's what's crazy. So I roasted the Ravens like eleven

538
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: years ago, like two thousand nine I think it was,

539
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: and brought me up for training camp and they were great.

540
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: Hardball was great. Um who was the coach that was?

541
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: He was the Colts coach had cancer beat it? Oh

542
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: right right right? Um? I forget his name, but I

543
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: know who you're talking about. He was like a defensive coordinator.

544
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: Then yeah, he sat down with us, gave us some

545
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: dird on the guys um so we could have a

546
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: little ammunition. And then we just went in and I

547
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: went in on Terrell Suggs pretty hard but fun. And

548
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: then uh, he got mad, but then he had to

549
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: laugh about it because the whole team was laughing, right right,

550
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: he can't be upset. And then I ran into him

551
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: like literally, I'm not lying. Three weeks later, I think

552
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: I was. I had a public gig in Baltimore. So

553
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm at this roof Pop Happy our spot and Ken

554
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: Hamil was the remember Ken Hammon Seahawks Cowboys. Yeah yeah,

555
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: secondary right, yeah, he's there. So I see Ken. We're

556
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: talking to him, We're hanging out, and then Terrell Suggs

557
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: walked there with like four of his boys. I go,

558
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: I told Ken of go, I need your help. He

559
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: came over. Then you know, Tarall was cool and he

560
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: was he he was busted with me. But you know,

561
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: he man, you went on a little hard man. You

562
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: have to go that hard on me. Oh jeez, listen,

563
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: Terrell Suggs is intimidating. I will say I worked with

564
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: Ray Lewis at FS one was he on the Ravens

565
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: when you roasted him. No, Ray Ray used to bring

566
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: me in for race summer days when he was at

567
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens. He had this big celebrity charity weekend. He

568
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: had a comedy show, and that's when we became decent friends.

569
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: He Cuban b At least my experiences with him, I

570
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: should say, oh yeah, yeah, he's he's a great guy. Um,

571
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: you really got the a f C. North on lock
