00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Kaboo. If you've thought more hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,879
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the rich

Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes,

00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,040

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: I forgot to ask you this, since everything has passed

18
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: with the draft, with the schedule being released, and obviously

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: the regular season in playoffs being done with, do you

20
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: think ratings will continue to climb on this podcast or

21
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: do you think they will plumb it because the NFL

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: is king so that you're saying, like the summertime, it's

23
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: usually the next couple of months are when your favorite

24
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: sports radio personalities normally, uh, get out of towns, get

25
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: out a lot of town because you know, the generally

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: the month of June, in particular Jen is a pretty

27
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: bad month for for listenership. And plus people are doing

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: stuff in this summer, and I think we'll do okay.

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: I think we have a solid, solid enough base of

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: people that have already subscribed to the podcast. But i'd

31
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: like to gross. I want to keep growing the numbers here.

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: What can we do? Maybe send us a message if

33
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: you if there's something that we can do that you

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: think would enhance the downloads. We've had some that have number.

35
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: We had that Tim Donnie he interview did very well.

36
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: Good people love when we talked to criminals. I can't

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: get enough of that. So there's some of that stuff.

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: But this week, let's get right into it. I don't

39
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: want any small talk here, I guess because we are

Speaker 1: been to a comedy club in forever, but but let's

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: bring in in Earl. The comedy clubs are back open

59
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: here in California, finally they opened up recently there. You've

60
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: been doing stand up, You've been back at the club,

61
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: so at the comedy store. What's it been like? Give

62
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: me the skinny there, what's the vibe been like? It's

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: been heavenly because uh, you know, I did it for you.

64
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: I guess should say zoom or Instagram. Live comedy shows

65
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: during the pandemic and uh, nothing be It's during counchlines,

66
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: waiting for the fourth second lag to kick in, to

67
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: see if people think you're funny. So, uh, you know,

68
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: just nothing replaces live comedy. And uh, the other night

69
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: I was at the comedy store and you could literally

70
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: feel the love from the crowd, even though I'll assume

71
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: they didn't know who I was. And uh, it's just

72
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: just been awesome to be back and and see real people. Yeah,

73
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: what's what's the state of comedy? Though? Every every time

74
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: I flip on the internet, I see that some comedians

75
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: in trouble for this that or the the other thing,

76
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: or you know, you can't tell a joke about this,

77
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: and how difficult this is like a landmine field. They're

78
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: trying to do comedy these days, isn't it. Well, this

79
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: is all part of my master planned, then, is to

80
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: be the only comic who doesn't get canceled, So I'm

81
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: in it for the long game. Uh, but it is

82
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: a different era. Um. You know, I grew up with

83
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: Archie Bunker, you know, has uh comedy influence, not so

84
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: much for what he was saying, but for how he

85
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: said it and was likable. And of course we mentioned

86
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: my love of Jim Healey um, who was one of

87
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: my very first comedy influences in terms of his style.

88
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, I think in regards to recent

89
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: events that have gotten certain people canceled, uh, you know,

90
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: it's just a different era. So if you're doing what

91
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: someone consider anti Asian jokes in the middle of stop

92
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: Asian hate, uh, month, they better be really really funny. Yeah.

93
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: I always thought comedy clubs were I hate to use

94
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: the term space safe space because I hate that. But

95
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: I always let you went in there and you you

96
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: know whatever, happy was just you're telling a joke, like

97
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: and if you're on stage, like, what's what's the big deal? Why?

98
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: I hate that that's changed that even when you you're

99
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: doing a set, because most you've been in comedy for

100
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: a long time. I think most comedians, you know, there's

101
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: some truth in it, but there's also a lot of

102
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: bull crap. You're trying to get a laugh, right, So

103
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: why why are people taking this stuff so serious? It's annoying. Oh,

104
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: it's horrible because we're all on edge in terms of

105
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: can I say this, Can I say that? Um? But

106
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: I think you've got to read the room. And you know,

107
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: it's like during some of the racial issues that we've

108
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: had this year, you know, either George Floyd or or

109
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: other incidents, that you can have racial humor, but it

110
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: better be really, really funny because that's going to be

111
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: the only thing that gives you even a little bit

112
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: of a pass. Uh. You know. It's like I was

113
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: telling them my fiance last night about the famous Chevy

114
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: Chase Richard fryor SNL sketch where you know, chevy Chase

115
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: said a pretty uh aggressive word on network television. But

116
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know that sketch

117
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: was so funny that that saved him from you know,

118
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: retribution from sponsors and and people who would have called

119
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: amount if it wasn't funny. Yeah. I mean I have

120
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: seen like a bunch of the you know, the old

121
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: school comics guys have been around for forever, Like Billy

122
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: Crystal came out and made some comments about this. Uh.

123
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: I think Dave Chappelle did. Even recently, Jerry Seinfeld of

124
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: all talked about like the the state of of of comedy. Uh.

125
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: And I guess everything goes in in uh, you know,

126
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: ebbs and flows right around the life goes in ebbs

127
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: and flows. Will we ever get back to the you

128
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: mentioned Archie Bunker. I don't think we'll get back to

129
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: that period, but it seems so so extreme these days.

130
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully it'll roll back, yes, I mean at some point

131
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: here and we can get some of that comedy back.

132
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if it will ever go

133
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: back to the way like you said Archie Bunker was.

134
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: Some people may say that would be a step back,

135
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: but you know, I grew up with the Dean Martin

136
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: roast where you know, I think the difference between those

137
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: roast and may be some of the roast style humor

138
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: that goes on today is that, you know, Don Rickles

139
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: could look at uh, Sammy Davis or Nipsey Russell and

140
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: say something pretty racially insensitive, you know, looking back now,

141
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: But they loved each other, they were best friends, so

142
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: there was love behind the joke. Whereas now I think

143
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: some of the comics you get in trouble for what

144
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: they say. There's no love behind the joke. It's just

145
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: I want to say something shocking and hopefully enough of

146
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: the audience likes it where I don't get canceled. So,

147
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's the you know, you look

148
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: at some of the Comedy Central roast. I thought that

149
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber roast was funny because you had Hannibal Burrows

150
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: on it and who is the comic who really got

151
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Bill Cosby thrown into the crosshairs? And he just looked

152
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: at Jessin Bieber and said something to the effect of,

153
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't like your music. I'm just here because I

154
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: know it will help me. Uh. I think that what

155
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: made the Dean Martin Ross so great was they were

156
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: all friends and now it's just let me say something

157
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: shocking and hopefully it sticks. Yeah. Well, and also getting

158
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: a cloud on social media. You gotta get the uh,

159
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: the buzz going on social media, which isn't. But I

160
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: want to go back to Jim Healy because the tape

161
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: is a roll in here and Gascon is annoyed because

162
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: there's a bond. You know, when I run into someone

163
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: role that is a fellow Jim Healy fanatic from back

164
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: in the day, l a radio guy. For those around

165
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,719
Speaker 1: the country that don't know who the hell Jim Healy was,

166
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: he did a show every day for half an hour

167
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: in l A and it was awesome. Was ahead of

168
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: his time. But I love that, or I mean, Jim,

169
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 1: to put in perspective, can you explain in your you

170
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: know you're you're very creative. Obviously, for those that don't

171
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: know who Jim Healy was, how would you describe Jim

172
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: Heally in just a couple of sentences. It's so hard

173
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: because I would say, Jim Healey, what's the one man

174
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: variety show he was? You know, if you ever listened

175
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: to the Matt Drudge radio show, he was very similar.

176
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: Where Jim Healy had hundreds of I like to call

177
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: moles and uh so he had he knew the bartender

178
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: at the Beller Hotel, he knew the valet at uh

179
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: you know Jimmy's and Beverly Hills, and so if uh,

180
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say Steve Garvey, Let's say Steve Garvey

181
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: was out with a woman who wasn't named Cindy Garvey.

182
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: His wife. Jim would do a report on it, like

183
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of a Walter Wincheld type news report with sound clips,

184
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: or you know, the probably the most famous clip he

185
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: has when uh I forget the sports reporters named Paul Paul.

186
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: Yeah he's he's a p a guy at Yankee Stadium. Now, Pa,

187
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: he had you know, Dave Kingman had just hit three

188
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: home runs, drove in nine r v U and uh,

189
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: I think we all know Tommy lets sorta when the

190
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: Dodgers loss wasn't in the best of moods, and Paul

191
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: Holden asked the most simple question, in the most understated way,

192
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: what's your opinion of Kingman's performance? And for the next

193
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 1: seven minutes, Tommy Lets Sorta gave his opinion of It

194
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: couldn't be aired on radio because it was beeped and

195
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: Jim Healey would beep it just enough so you could

196
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: understand what words Tommy was saying. And it was just

197
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: he was a one man show. And I don't think

198
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people realized that he wrote it. He

199
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: you know, directed what, when, what, clips would go where,

200
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: and us just a brilliant comedy mind. So that's why

201
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand he was a comedy

202
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: influence on me versus say a stand up. He was

203
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: just you know, it's been passed, I think, and uhty

204
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: has never been the same for me. And six o'clock

205
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: when we all would hear the dread at six o'clock tone,

206
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: the dress right, the dreaded six o'clock tone, and I

207
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: he was an influence on me too. So I mean

208
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: we're you know, close to the same age, and I, uh,

209
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: I have fond memories. Uh you know, I was telling

210
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: you off before we started rolling on this, like when

211
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: when I started going to dodgery games and stuff. When

212
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: I got in the media, I was a young guy.

213
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: I was like nineteen and I had listened to Heally

214
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: and I saw all these people that Healy would goof

215
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: on like you know, do updates on the freeloading and stuff,

216
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: and I laugh my my ass off. But yeah, he

217
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: knew everyone here. That's a great point about how you

218
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: know that the people behind the scenes, and that was

219
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: in the days, it was a stone age before social media.

220
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: It's also the technical stuff on how to play all

221
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: the sound bites that he did his own, his own

222
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: sound bites, and he didn't have all the computers and

223
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: stuff that we have to today. So it wasn't much

224
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: uh much much different time, and it's really hard to

225
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: recreate that. And I try to give tribute sometimes late

226
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: at night, or I'll try to give tribute to Jim Heally,

227
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: but you can't. I mean, that's such a unique show.

228
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: You can't. Really the sequel will not be the equal,

229
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I mean, And that's why

230
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: I was a fan of yours because when I first

231
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: started listening to you on Sunday nights, you know, after Drudge,

232
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I know this guy was a Healy

233
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: fan because it was you weren't copying him, but it

234
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: was definitely a tribute, much like you know, a lot

235
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: of people when they hear my comedy, you know, they're

236
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: comparing me to Robert Schimmel or Stephen Wright, and I'm

237
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: not copying them. I just was influenced by them. And

238
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: he was just such a creative mind and so funny

239
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: to me that his dry sense of humor and just

240
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: the work you knew he put in of calling every

241
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: source he had before show, and and his out and

242
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: out hatred of uh. Tommy was sort of the guy

243
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: from San Diego Lee heck saw Hamilton's I mean he

244
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: would be raped these guys out in the open. And

245
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: I like that kind of honesty, Like I don't know

246
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: if you have enemies Ben in radio, but uh, you know,

247
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: if you do, you don't really let it be known.

248
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: He did. So I like that kind of aggressive humor

249
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: of naming names instead of hiding behind anonymous zingers. Be

00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: day has gotten off to a bad start. Um, I

00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: need to correct some things on this podcast. No, no, no,

257

Speaker 1: you don't need to correct anything. Just well, this is great. Now,

258
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: this is a wonderful Why didn't we get Earl on sooner?

259
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: Guess it's a bad job by you, Like bad job

260
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: by you man at the beach right now. You put

261
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: all these hacks on, and you could have put Earle on,

262
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: who's a quality l a comedian who knows everybody in

263
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: the business. And you don't put this guy up. Bat

264
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: job by you. It's funny. But the last time I

265
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: did see Earle was at the Comedy Store pre Pandemic,

266
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: and Earl, you were judging one of the roast battles.

267
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if many people know about the dynamics

268
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: of it, but you need to explain that for for

269
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: the audience, and then also too. We were sitting next

270
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: to Justin Turner and Dennis Rodman, who well, I don't

271
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: know what he was on, but I've never seen a

272
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: celebrity point in blank get escorted out of the building

273
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: like he did that night. Um, what got you involved

274
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: in the roast battle first of all, especially upstairs in

275
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: that comedy store. Well, I'm no longer involved in roast Battle.

276
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: I feel like Sid Vicious when he left the Four

277
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: Horsemen and got kicked out by Rick Flair are and

278
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: it's Tolly Blanchard. But uh, you know, Roast Battle was

279
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: a show you talk about. You know, Aggressive Humor was

280
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: basically a one on one insult show and uh, I

281
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: was one of the uh founding fathers of it. Was

282
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: a show was quite popular back in the day. And

283
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: I remember that show you were at. I felt so

284
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: bad at some of the things I said because I was,

285
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, doing an archie bunker type character that I

286
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: had to apologize suggesting Turner downstairs. I'm like, hey, man,

287
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I was just kidding around up there, and he's like,

288
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: oh man, you were my favorite part. And then Dennis

289
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: Rodman got upset at me when I called him on

290
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: our test. I don't think I think Dennis might have

291
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: been on the powdered supplements, if you know what I'm saying. Uh,

292
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: and uh he sat in my lap that night, and uh,

293
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: I've never been so turned on in my life. Not

294
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: just kidding because I'm a wrestling fan. So I was like, hey,

295
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: you were great in the n w O. Just kidding.

296
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: I know the n w O was going downhill when

297
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: him and Virgil were in it, but uh, you know

298
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: it's uh, I guess it's a rose Valley call it

299
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: an ensemble uh roast. Uh it's um, you know, it

300
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: shows not for everyone. But it was fun when I

301
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: was in it, but after I left it, it was

302
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: like Kiss with Vinny Vincent in it, just not the same.

303
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: How's that reference? Oh man? This I mean because I

304
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: remember back in the day obviously with Jeffrey Ross and

305
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: some of these cats and you see it from afar,

306
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: but then your point blank and you're in it. I

307
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: had a buddy of mine that performed that night, and

308
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: I think he was one of the first two guys,

309
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: and he got absolutely decimated. And I don't know if

310
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: it was because of the audience or if it was

311
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: because his dumbass brought four of his friends, including me

312
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,239
Speaker 1: there and we just heckled the ship out of him

313
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: the entire time and he flamed out, like right before

314
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: our eyes. Well it's uh, you know, the show's not

315
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: for everyone. In terms of contestants. Uh, you know, you

316
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: have to have a thick skin. You know you're gonna

317
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: hear you know, like when I did it on TV

318
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: against Jimmy Carr, who's probably like the number one comic

319
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: in the world. Old he plays like arenas he opens

320
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: up for the killers. Uh, you know, I knew he

321
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: was gonna have jokes about my parents dying two months apart,

322
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: and you know some of my uh you know, bad relationships,

323
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: and he knew I was going to make fun of

324
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: his dad and his relationships. So h it's uh, it's

325
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: blood sport. It's literally like the octagon. You go in

326
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: and knowing what it is, and uh you know, if

327
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: you're strong enough to survive, great, If not, you're gonna

328
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: have a Jerry Springer moment for everyone to enjoy. It's

329
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: it's allowed you to pivot though, to a bunch of

330
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: different things, right like Comedy Central. You've been doing voiceover stuff,

331
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: like You're in a lot of different things, aren't you. Yeah, Like,

332
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: right now, I'm on a cartoon made by Tyler the creator.

333
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: It's called The Jellies, and I'm the only white guy

334
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: on it. So I played the dad. Uh So you know,

335
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: that's probably the thing I'm most proud of because he's

336
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: an amazing He's a kid, you know, said, but he's

337
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: incredible with his creative vision. And it's kind of like

338
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: the Black South Park. Uh you know if you like,

339
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: uh like edgy or humor, I think people would like it.

340
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: And uh so, how's that? How's that work? Girl? When

341
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: you're the voice of that's cool? I like, like, I

342
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: love cartoons and stuff. But you know how how much

343
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: work is it's as easy as it could be? Or

344
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: is is there actually some some difficulty in voicing over

345
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: a cartoon character? Well, for me, it's easy because, as

346
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: you can tell, Ben, my voice is very monotone. There's

347
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: not a lot of level to it. So I'm not

348
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: asked to any other type of voice other than Earl.

349
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: Just talk and read the line and we're good. Um.

350
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Where has the guy who plays my son in the show,

351
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: Phil Lamar? And he's like the Wayne Gretzky of voice actors.

352
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: Like he's been in everything from pulp fiction to any

353
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: cartoon or animated movie you've ever watched, He's been in it. Uh.

354
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: He can do like seven different voices, seven different vocal ranges.

355
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: He's like. Watching him was like uh. And having to

356
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: do scenes with him in the booth was like doing

357
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: scenes with de Niro. It was like, Wow, this is

358
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: an education. So but I love it. You know. It's

359
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm like a let me see, let me think of

360
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: a good sports analogy. Uh. I'm like, uh, you know,

361
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm like a kid to coulf. I I got the

362
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: side arm. I can't pitch any other way. So you know,

363
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: if you need a deep baritone, growling voice, I'm the

364
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: guy fair enough. So you're not. I know that you're

365
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: a near and dear at Pittsburgh Steelers FENC. You're not

366
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: like a Levy on Bell type. You should have listened

367
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: to bench show the other night. It was it was nauseating.

368
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 1: He went through a television schedule for his opening monologue,

369
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: the most popular, the most popular television show in America

370
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: that kills the ratings. And by the way, and you

371
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: know this, earl, you know, and you just when I

372
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: do sports radio, the number one thing is the NFL anything.

373
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: You know, if Roger Gell takes a dump, we we

374
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: can talk about it fifteen minutes if we have to.

375
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: And Gascon's busting my balls because the schedule came out

376
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 1: and I played the hits and I got in trouble

377
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:27,360
Speaker 1: for it with Gascon his instincts. I'm a huge hockey guy.

378
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: Hockey is my favorite sport country mile next to football.

379
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: But you know, football is a just you know, it's

380
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: just America's Uh. I think it's America's past time. I

381
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: know they say that about baseball, but like, you know,

382
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: everyone watches football, Like you know, you gotta put a

383
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: gun to people said to watch hockey. Um, you know,

384
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,240

00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, even though I totally agree with

Speaker 1: he's not allowed me to take any phone calls. He

433

457
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: was that relationship? Like, how did you guys to how

458
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: did you two come in contact? And what was the conversation? Like?

459
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: It was awesome and I owe it all due to

460
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: the Comedy Store and uh fellow comics Steve Simone. I

461
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: think he somehow knew Roddy and Roddy wanted to not

462
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: necessarily be a stand up. But you know, at this time,

463
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: Roddy was probably fifty and you know he pro wrestlers.

464
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: As we all know, they live a brutal lifestyle. Uh.

465
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's like when you see Rick Flair still wrestling.

466
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's got to pay off for the four

467
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: divorces and all that stuff. And h I think Roddy

468
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: just didn't want to travel as much anymore. So he thought, oh,

469
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: I'll go to the comedy store, maybe have some shows.

470
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: And one night I'm on stage and it was pretty

471
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: empty in the room. How empty was it? Think dark

472
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: and at a state fair and empty? And uh, I'm

473
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: doing I was very upset at how my favorite wrestler,

474
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: Sting was treated when he went to the w W.

475
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: And I did about a twenty minute set on it

476
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: and Roddy was in the background. Uh, and he just

477
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: comes up to me and it was like talking to Superman.

478
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy I watched since I

479
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: was a kid. And he's like, why don't you come

480
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: on my podcast? And you seem you seem like you're

481
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 1: pretty bitter about pro wrestling state of you know, the

482
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: state of it, and uh. It went so well the

483
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: next day that his producer was like, hey, you know,

484
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: Roddy needs a sidekick and what you want to do it?

485
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I don't even want to get paid. Uh.

486
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: And so when I did it for probably about the

487
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: last five months of his life and it was awesome,

488
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: like he was like getting to work with him was like,

489
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: you know, pro wrestlers are like especially in the eighties,

490
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like Ben said, now there's the

491
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: Internet and YouTube and all that stuff, but you know,

492
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: you watch wrestling in the eighties, you really thought Kamala

493
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: was from Uganda. Ex No, I swear to God until

494
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: my dad once took me to the Olympic Auditorium which

495
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: is now Korean Church off the five and it's also

496
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: where Jim Healey did uh announcing for boxing. Uh. He

497
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: takes me to w WF event at the time, and

498
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: my dad leaves me alone backstage in a ww F

499
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: locker area that that's probably speaks to his parenting ability.

500
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: And I see Kamala putting his clothes on, like khaki pants,

501
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: a polo shirt. He still got his face makeup on,

502
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: and I'm just staring at him. Now he was about

503
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: six seven four pounds. Towards the end of his life,

504
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: he was about five four. But he shout out to

505
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: the de w dewt for taking care of their own uh.

506
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: And he just looks at me and goes, Hi, I'm Jim,

507
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, uh no, your your name's Kamala and what

508
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: are you doing speaking English? And uh no, it was

509
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: just like and then Kimchi came over, who was his manager,

510
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, the guy who would dress up in the

511
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: bee keeper outfit. He's like, hey, I'm Steve. I'm like

512
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 1: thought you were Asian and your name was Kimchi and uh,

513
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's like when I met Abdulo the Butch

514
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Sure and he introduced himself as Larry from uh the

515
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: Windsor Ontario. I'm like, I thought you were from the

516
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: Sioux Dan So, uh, you know, I just was fascinated

517
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: with Roddy's era of wrestling, and he loved that. And

518
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't really care about working for the

519
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: de w de Wie. Uh. And I think Roddy sense

520
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: that he's like, Okay, he can be the bad guy

521
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: and I can just almost be the good guy that

522
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: this guy's bad guy. And I know the fan hated

523
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: me on the show, you know, they just wanted to

524
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: hear Roddy. But you know, Roddy liked me, and uh,

525
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: you know I cried a lot, you know when he passed,

526
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: because uh, he was just a great guy. So I

527
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: think about him a lot. Yeah, legend. I remember when

528
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,960

Speaker 1: I still have some of them somewhere buried in the

609
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all my wrestling dolls. Uh, you know, I've

610
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: been doing comedy for like twenty years. You'd think some

611
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: of my highlights would have been meeting Jim Carrey on

612
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: the set of I'm Dying up Here, or being on

613
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: a cartoon on Adult Swim, which you know, you have

614
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: voice actors who do it for thirty years who never

615
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: get on a Adult Swim show. But my career highlight

616
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: it's one day I get a package at the comedy

617
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,279

00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,719

637
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: to have some of the guests I've been able to get,

638
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: Like I had the bad guy from Superman two on.

639
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: He came to my house. Uh, and not Terence Stamp,

640
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 1: but no, I'm the guy who didn't see I didn't

641
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: speak at all. I thought. Then I was like, this

642
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: guy probably no one's asked him to be interviewed in

643
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 1: quite some time. And uh, I somehow got ahold of

644
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: them on social media and he's like, oh, can we skype?

645
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I don't do this sky He's like,

646
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: can we zoom? I'm like, now you gotta come to

647
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: my house? And you know, I get a buzz on

648
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: my door one day and there's no he's still a

649
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 1: huge guy. He's probably in the seventies and I had

650
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: no idea of his background. He used to be a

651
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: heavyweight boxer, he bought uh George Foreman and uh scheduled

652
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: type Muhammad Ali. So we had a great conversation about boxing.

653
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: I mean, anytime I can do an interview and drop

654
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: ron Lyle and text Cob and the guy knows who

655
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: they are, that's a good interview. So, uh, you know,

656
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: part of my to answer your question, Dave, maybe you

657
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: get on this show boar option now that me and

658
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: Ben her home. He is, uh yeah, absolutely clearly. I

659
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: mean you've gotta have higher standards than that, though. I mean,

660
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, I'm a struggling overnight radio guys,

661
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: so you gotta you gotta find maybe you can just

662
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: move to Austin. Isn't that what everyone's doing now, moving

663
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: to Austin and uh, you know, open a comedy club

664
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: or something like that. I guess, isn't that the wave

665
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: of the future. Well, I think Bill Burt said it

666
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: the best, and I want to give him full credit. Uh,

667
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: He's like, everyone can move to Austin, but only one

668
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: of you has a hundred millions. So you know, I

669
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: saw Joe Rogan's house. Holy shit, my god, man oh man,

670
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: good for him, but that is uh, well he's got houses.

671
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: Uh but I messed up though. Joe asked me wants

672
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: to be on this podcast. You know, he came up

673
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: to me at the comedy store one night, it's really late.

674
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: It's in the back of the kitchen where it is

675
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: one of his safe spaces, and he just looks at

676
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: me and goes, bro, it's time you come on the podcast,

677
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: And like, like, I wish I had my internal dialogue

678
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: on tape because it's like, Okay, don't don't get too excited,

679
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: be cool, be cool. And he's like, here's my number,

680
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: called Jamie tomorrow, we'll set it up. And I'm like,

681
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: I'm head, like I'm finally in and I know I

682
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 1: would have a good interview with him, because you know,

683
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: just he's a great interview or he's like Howard Stern.

684
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't get the credit for asking the questions nobody

685
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: else would. And uh, I thought, well, you know what,

686
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: everyone calls him the day after. I'm gonna give him

687
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 1: two days. And then second day came. I think I'm

688
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna give him one more day, so I don't seem

689
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: too eager. So I called him up and I could

690
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: tell he, uh, he probably forgot. He gave me his

691
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: number to do the podcast. I just panicked and I

692
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: I think I asked him about my torn a c

693
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: L and he was nice, but it was it was

694
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: a short conversation. And that's stop being nice, Like that's

695
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: Dave you asked me. My my in goal is to

696
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,439
Speaker 1: stop being so nice. Well, you can still be nice

697
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: to us at least. I mean I need to probably

698
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: invest in a blanket and a couple of wine glasses

699
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: for you and Ben. Maybe uh, a couch somewhere you

700
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: guys can do some wine tasting and malibu together since

701
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: this bromance has taken off him. Set it up and

702
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: we'll watch episode sixteen, season two of The White Shadow.

703
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: I always try and expose this episode to everyone. Uh.

704
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 1: And that's when Coach Reives takes Salami, Coolidge and Thorpe

705
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: to the golf course and it is no I'm telling

706
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: you as someone who grew up playing bell are country club. Uh.

707
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: And maybe it's inside jokes to me, but that is

708
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: the finest written hour. Not that The White Shadow was

709
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: a sitcom, but I guess you'd call it half sitcom

710
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: half drama. But the jokes are so funny, and keeping

711
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 1: in mind that they were told in nine on Channel two,

712
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night's prime time. That's probably my favorite episode of

713
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 1: all time of any TV show. So let's let's promote

714
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: you or I mean, there's probably some people I would

715
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 1: think that might not know who you are. You're being

716
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: exposed when they love you world. They love that you're

717
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: a sportsman and you're a comedian. You know everyone and

718
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: you you go to the comedy store and how can

719
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: people find you and how can they follow you and

720
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: say amazing things about you on social media? And all

721
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: you're on the jellies you mentioned got your own podcast? Uh?

722
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 1: Was it inappropriate? Earl? Is that the name of it?

723
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: Am I right on? That is that? Yes? You are right, Ben,

724
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: It's it's just inappropriate. And people ask me all the time,

725
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: as I'm sure to do you guys, what's your show about?

726
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: Your podcast? A radio show? And I'm like, it's really

727
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: the podcast, it's about everything at nothing at the same time,

728
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: you know, yes, yes, yes, yes, that makes any sense.

729
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: Like I had the bad guy from Superman Too yesterday

730
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,000

00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: because he was he played in the aggressive era of

735
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: the league and uh he was involved in several uh

736
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: on ice incidents that are still up to this day.
