Speaker 2: like such a douche for saying this, but I have

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: to say you were the nicest person in the world,

25
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: and you were so kind and you were like I

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: can't remember how you started the conversation. Maybe you can,

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: but you were like, I really like your stuff, I

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: love what you're doing. And I was the idiot who's

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: living under a rock who was like, I think I

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: know what you do. It's really cool, but I don't know.

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: And I came back and I told my team, I

32
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: was like, I sit next to Burt Kreischer, like you know,

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,640

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,120

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,640

00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: so in and you were so sweet, and I was

39
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: really touched by the interaction. I never in a million

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: years thought the number one part here in the world

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: and me would have something in common.

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: So you've got a weird thing that like, usually only

00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: like Reese Witherspoon or or Jennifer Aniston get where you're

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,120

Speaker 1: Rick Flair one time, and we both drank identically we

108
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: both ordered drinks for our wives and ourselves and then

109
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: drank our our wives drinks and then drank our drinks

110
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: and I was like, ooh, Rick Flair and I drink alike.

111
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: I had a girl walk me into my room. And

112
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: so the other night she was like, hey, when it

113
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: come to your room. I was like, and I got

114
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: her to the door and I said, listen. I was

115
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: really drunk. I go listen. It's very sweet of you,

116
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm married and I'm happily married and I

117
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: don't cheat on my wife. And she had this weird

118
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: look on her face. And I woke up. The next

119
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: time I called my wife, I told her, I go,

120
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: I just I'm such a great guy. And then there

121
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: was a note under my door and it was like, bert,

122
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to have sex with you. You were too drunk.

123
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: You couldn't remember what room you were in, and you

124
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a key. I just wanted to make sure

125
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 1: you got home safe. I was like, oh, I shut

126
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: down a good Samaritan.

127
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: How does your wife react to stories like that?

128
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I've been doing that our whole marriage. Our marriage is

129
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: based on fun and laughter. I mean, for real, it

130
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: is probably the funnest. It's by far, it's the funnest

131
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: relationship I have in my life. We joke NonStop. We're

132
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: in a couple's therapy right now, and as we walk out,

133
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: I decide who won or who lost. Like it's just

134
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: a blast. And I've been doing that ever since, ever

135
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: since we were a young married couple. I'd text her,

136
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: I go, just do you know I'm getting jocked, And

137
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: then I sat a picture in the end it's like

138
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: she's got a lazy eye and I'm like, oh man, yeah.

139
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 2: And she gives it back to you too, Oh.

140
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah. Her and my daughters are just bullies,

141
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: like bullies, like they've never they called they call me

142
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: baby Walrus. They've they've never They bust my balls harder

143
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: than anyone I've ever met other than my two sisters.

144
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: The women in my life run my life.

145
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: Isn't that the best? Like my wife, we just did

146
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 2: this video and it was planned by my team, but

147
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: we did this video where my wife rated my looks

148
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 2: on the red carpet. For the last seven years or

149
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: however long, it's been great, And oh dude, I've got

150
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: some embarrassing red carpet looks. And my wife does not

151
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: hold back in this video. She just goes for it.

152
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: And she's got so much banter and she's got so

153
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: much sass, and it's like all the comments are like

Speaker 2: in a second. But I wanted to you. Were you

176
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: always the class clown? Was this always natural for you?

177
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: Were you the guy who could make everyone laugh and

178
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: get attention? Was that who you were?

179
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: No? I was like, dare I say, like painfully serious?

180
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I always was funny, but I didn't know.

181
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: I thought what I was doing was cool, and when

182
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: from the outside looking in, it was and it was funny,

183
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: So I didn't realize that I was being funny. I

184
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: think a lot of comics have this, Like I told you,

185
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: just told the story in therapy the other day. When

186
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: I was in first grade, I played second base. I'm

187
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: really into baseball. I was really into baseball growing up.

188
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: I played second base. Flyball to me, Basis loaded flyball

189
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: to me. I catch it, and then I spike it,

190
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: and I take my shirt off and I start dancing.

191
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: Now my dad was livid. He was like, what is

192
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: wrong with you? And but everyone laughed, and I thought

193
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: what I was doing was cool and that people were

194
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, but they just see this six year

195
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: old seven year old dancing shirtless in second base. And

196
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: so my whole life, I think I was always trying

197
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: to be serious. I dressed up his kiss for the

198
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: talent show. I'm dead serious, like you're gonna watch me

199
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: like kill it out here. And I remember being in

200
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: the thing. I had a guitar, car didn't have strings.

201
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: I was going to air guitar and the kid looks

202
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: at me and he goes. The kid next to me

203
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: had a violin and he goes, you play the guitar

204
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 1: and I said no. He goes, what are you gonna do?

205
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: I said, just rock out. He was like, You're just

206
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna go up there and dance, and I was like

207
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: And when he said it, I was like, this sounds silly. Yeah,

208
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: And then I just went out and just air guitared

209
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: and danced in my mom's tights, no shirt, her belts

210
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: around my chest, white face paint, but that me and

211
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: Brian Callahan put on. So yeah, I think, and I

212
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: think I was that way all the way through high school.

213
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't think I was very funny in high school,

214
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: although I was. I learned how to tell a story

215
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: in high school. It wasn't until I gave up sports

216
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: in college that people started saying, I was funny.

217
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: What made you learn how to tell a story? In

218
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: high school?

219
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: Going to an all boys Catholic high school, it was

220
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: the best. It was the best, man, I'm saying, the best.

221
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: Your currency was could you hold a table? Wasn't chicks,

222
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: wasn't did you look good? Could you hold a table?

223
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: And so for lunch you'd have a table your boys

224
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: twelve and I would practice my story. Coming from religion

225
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: to the table. I'd be like, all right, so we

226
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: did a beer run right, and I'm driving, came in,

227
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: comes in, he dives in, a dog, grabs his leg.

228
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: I take off. That's when I'm practicing the story. And

229
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: then I get there and they'd be like, hey, tell

230
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: us about the fight. And I'd be like, okay, got

231
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: a pivot. Here we go. And I remember the first

232
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: time I set a line that like worked well, I said, dude,

233
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: he got knocked out. I mean this punch started in

234
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: Miami and ended in Washington State, and they were like, oh,

235
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: like it was just it was like storytelling was our thing.

236
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: And if you could tell a good story, like beach week,

237
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: you came up to the room. Everyone wanted to know

238
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: if you hooked up with that check and you had

239
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: to have a story about it.

240
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah.

241
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: I remember one guy came up, older kid and he

242
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I didn't have a condumn, so he

243
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: used a plastic bag and we're like, what, like just

244
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: wild stories. And then when I got to Florida State,

245
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: that's when I started realizing I was funny.

246
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: Old boys school too. But what I realized was that

247
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: a lot of the guys had imaginary girlfriends, so a

248
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: lot of the stories were just.

249
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Made out Jesus.

250
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: And when you'd figure out that Felicity wasn't real because

251
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: I was an American girl's name off a TV show

252
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 2: and not a girl's name in England, like it never

253
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 2: there's no one I've ever met in England called Felicity.

254
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: And then one of our guys was danying a girl

255
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: called Felicity, like he's been watching too much American pie.

256
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 2: Like that's like, dude, no feeling. We'd get.

257
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Girls were a perfect example. I was so painfully serious

258
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: about losing my virginity. I mean, I was dialed in.

259
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: It was my only focus. And then when I did,

260
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: it was such a tragedy that that story became I

261
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: remember sitting down and they're like, bro, tell the story.

262
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden there's like three deep and

263
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: the story I've told it on may not this may

264
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: not be the right setting for it, but I'll just

265
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: say it was fast and I did it wrong. And

266
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean and there were like dudes standing three people

267
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: deep to hear the story. And then you know, we

268
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: had two lunches. So the next people come in that

269
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: was Ty Rodriguez, like tell it again, and I mean

270
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: everything was like a tragedy, like a comedy of tragedies

271
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: for me.

272
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: And you've never reconnected back with this peasants.

273
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: The woman yeah, yeah, you know, yeah, I know her

274
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: very well. That's Tampa though I know her, I know

275
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: her brother, her dad just recently passed. Her dad was

276
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: a legend. Her dad was a legend. I got to

277
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: say this, and you know, she cheated on me prompt

278
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: with my best friend and we had to go spend

279
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: the night at her house. Now I'm like, I'm a

280
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: really sensitive guy, and I was so humiliated that instead

281
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: of going back into the house where they dropped us off,

282
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: I went out into her car and I said, I'm

283
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: just gonna sit in her car this is. We didn't

284
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: have a car to get home. I didn't have anybody

285
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: to get home. So I sat in her car. I said,

286
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: you know what, screw it. I'm I'm gonna sleep out

287
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: in this car. And I laid in the backseat of

288
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: her car and her dad just comes out knocks on

289
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: the window. He's like boxers or whatever, and he's like, buddy,

290
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: this isn't how it's done. I was like what. He goes,

291
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: I know you're hurting right now. Come in the house.

292
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: Trust me. I'll make it comfortable. I said, I they

293
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: know I've been out here, and he goes, oh, we

294
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: all know you've been out here. He goes, just walk

295
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: in the house and sleep inside tonight. I'm gonna give

296
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: you five minutes. So we went in. I waited five

297
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: minutes and I walked in the house and very slick.

298
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Her dad was like, it was like, Bert, well, can

299
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: I get you to drink? Would you like a beer?

300
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: And I'm seventeen and I was like, oh, I would

301
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: love a beer. And he's like, great, come on, we'll

302
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: go sit outside, and just made it very smooth. But

303
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: I still know her.

304
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: Wow, that's ever. Yeah, that's ever. I remember breaking up

305
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 2: with the girl, and I was just upset that her

306
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: father used to have Manchester United season tickets and he

307
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: still always take me along. I remember when I broke

308
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: up with it, it was like harder breaking up with

309
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: her dad than it was with her because we were

310
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: like having this bromance moment of like supporting the same team.

311
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 2: And it's just when I think back to times like that,

312
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: think about how like those moments felt so big then

313
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: and now when you look back you laugh at them, right,

314
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: Like it's at that moment that humiliation. Was that like

315
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: the biggest humiliation you'd had at that point in your life.

316
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, And I've had bigger, I've

317
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: had bigger, but yeah, that was like that was tough

318
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: because I thought I was cool, you know. And I

319
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 1: think that's a little bit where my comedy is. I

320
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: always come out the fool a little bit, you know.

321
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm always getting myself into something bigger than me, and

322
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: I always think I'm doing the cool thing or the

323
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: smart thing, and I always screw it up.

324
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: I read that your dad was an interesting figure for

325
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: you growing up, and he had like a certain take

326
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: on life of like men don't cry, boys don't cry.

327
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: They don't show emotions. Yeah, is that true?

328
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: That?

329
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: What's that like? Because I think we hear about it

330
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: now and it sounds like almost like a character because

331
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: of where society's kind of moved into now. It's like,

332
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: but that was very real.

333
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: Oh, very real. My dad. My dad's a great dad.

334
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: I love my dad. But he just was like, hey,

335
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: you don't cry. I was eleven years old. I was

336
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: playing catcher and I got hit in the mouth of

337
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: the baseball bat and I lost like twenty sixteeth and

338
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: my dad came over and he's like, Okay, don't worry.

339
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: It was my birthday, by the way, and I was like,

340
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: he's like, don't worry, You're okay. Mom's gonna take you

341
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: to the dentist. I need you to go to shortstop.

342
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: I was like what. He goes, You're not dying, and

343
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: if I sub you out of the game, we forfeit

344
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: the game. So finish out the ending a shortstop. And

345
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: I remember being like, what, I've been injured, and he goes, yeah,

346
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: go finish shortstop and they hit a ground ball to

347
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: me at shortstop. I caught it through it at first.

348
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: My dad goes, I'm really proud of you go to

349
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: the dentist. But my dad just he just didn't. It

350
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: was not he didn't hit us, you know, but like

351
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: he just was, like I remember his when I got

352
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: into comedy, he told me really clearly, buddy, eat shit

353
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: cash checks. That's how the world works. Eat shit cash checks.

354
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: His dad was in World War Two. He stormed like

355
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: Omaha Beach or Normandy, and his dad never talked about

356
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: the war, sat in the garage, watched Mets games, listen

357
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: to Met games, and drank beer. And so my my

358
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: dad lost his dad at thirteen. So I think my

359
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: dad was just doing the best he could. But yeah,

360
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: he told me. I mean, I mean, I remember, I

361
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: remember it like an older I remember getting anxiety attacks.

362
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: This is how flat my dad was. One day, I'm

363
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: laying in bed. It's like after after David Letterman, and

364
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm laying in bed. I had to be ten years old,

365
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I have this very crisp

366
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: realization that death is real. And I went, hold on,

367
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: I go, one day, you're gonna tell me my dad's

368
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna die. And I went, oh my god. I started

369
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: having a real panic attack. And I went into his

370
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: room and I woke him up. My dad doesn't wake easily.

371
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: He's like, if you wake my dad, he's like cold on,

372
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: you know. And so I scared me. I woke him

373
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: up and I was like, Dad, are you going to die?

374
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: And he goes what I said, are you're going to die?

375
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: And he goes, yeah, you are too, go back to bed.

376
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: And then I went, wait, I'm gonna die. I didn't

377
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: think I got it. I knew you would die, but

378
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: not me. And that was my dad. I had kids

379
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: with panic disorder, and I was so not my dad

380
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: with them. I was so like, yo, I got you,

381
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: You're gonna be fine, Like but yeah, my dad just

382
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: he was just trying to do the best he could.

383
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: Uh stuck into a house that he couldn't really afford

384
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: to make an ends meet. He's got three kids, didn't

385
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: expect the third one. He's a lawyer. I don't think

386
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: he ever wanted to be a lawyer. I mean i'd

387
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: say that, I don't know what he'd say, but I

388
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: wouldn't say he loves his job, but it's his job

389
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: and he does it. But that was his do not cry,

390
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: do not cry. And when now I got older and

391
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: we got into a something and he saw me, like,

392
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: well up, He'd be like, oh, you better enough cry

393
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, cry, now you might explain why

394
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 1: I cried so much as adult.

395
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 2: Now he just held you back.

396
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: I tried my whole life. And then I remember the

397
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: first time seeing him cry. It was when I graduated

398
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: Florida State and they didn't let me graduate. Two teachers

399
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: failed me because I was written up in Rolling Stone

400
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: magazine and they were they thought I embarrassed the school,

401
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: so they failed me. And I had to drive up

402
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: to Tallahassee and they told me the ministry just go

403
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: talk to the teachers. And I went to drive up

404
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: to Tallahassee and my dad walked me out to the car.

405
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: Was like six in the morning and I was getting

406
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: in the car to drive Tallahassee and he started crying.

407
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: And I'd never seen him cry, and I was like,

408
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: what is this? And he was just and he's like

409
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: when someone shook your kid Like I was like, I

410
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: got I drove in silence, no music, just in the dark.

411
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: Just what did I just witness?

412
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: Did you ever talk to him about that?

413
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: No?

414
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: Still too this day.

415
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: Nah. My dad's an interesting guy. He's changed a lot

416
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: the older he's gotten, he's way more sensitive than he

417
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: was when I was a kid. Joey Diaz gave him

418
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: marijuana one time on accident. He gave him like a

419
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: handful of marijuana popcorn. Is the first time my dad

420
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: had a brad in marijuana. Eastern morning, kids are searching

421
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: for eggs. My daddy's a handful of popcorn. I go, buddy,

422
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: that's weed. And he goes, what, there's popcorn. I go, no,

423
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: that there's weed in the popcorn. He goes, how do

424
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: they put weed in the popcorn? I go, Dad, it's

425
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: called an edible and you just ate a lot of it.

426
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: And so he goes, well, what do I do? And

427
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: I said, I grabbed a handful, and I said, I'll

428
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 1: go with you. We're gonna both eat weed, and we

429
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: both ate weed. We did a podcast that day and

430
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: then everyone leaves and it's me and my dad high

431
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: as crap, drinking whiskey at like five in the afternoon,

432
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: smoking a cigar, really high, and I leaned over to him,

433
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: I go, why don't you like me? Oh, I'm gonna

434
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: get emotional, and he just goes, He's like, I love

435
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: you. You just make me uncomfortable. He was like, I love

436
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: you and I'm afraid you're gonna die. And so I

437
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: don't know what that does, but I'm afraid you're gonna die.

438
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna die. And he goes, you don't know that.

439
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: He goes, I lost my dad when I was young.

440
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm terrified to lose you. And I don't understand you.

441
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: I don't understand your lifestyle. And I said, well, how

442
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: can we fix this? And he goes, I want to

443
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: get you a cardiologist and I said okay, and he goes,

444
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: you do that. I go, I want you to feel

445
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: more comfortable with me. And he was like, I can

446
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: get you a cardiologist. I can do all the tests.

447
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: I can pick all the tests they do. And I

448
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: said yeah, and he goes, okay, a cardiologist Monday morning

449
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: for me, doctor Dan. And they did the CT scan,

450
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: they did the stress test, they did all the tests

451
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: my dad wanted, and everything came back clean. And my

452
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: dad's like, now you'll go to him every six months

453
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: and I said yeah. And I want to say, from

454
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: that day on, our relationship has gotten so much smoother.

455
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I've forgiven him for stuff that he's did

456
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: and we're just a lot, a lot closer now.

457
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: It's incredible, isn't it. Like my parent's trying to hold

458
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: us back from seeing their pain, but actually seeing their

459
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: pain is the only thing that kind of penetrates to

460
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: make you go, oh, wait, they're a human too.

461
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: Oh. I found out my dad was human when I

462
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: was twenty one years old. And I remember finding that

463
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: out and I didn't understand it. My parents split up,

464
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: and I was so mad at my dad. I didn't

465
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: even want to talk to him. I did. I just

466
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: I always wanted nothing to do with him. And my

467
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: uncle Jerry called me and he goes, uh, when was

468
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: the last time we talked to your dad? And I said,

469
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: it's been a while, and he goes, well, that shit's over.

470
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: He goes, you call him today, he's your dad. No, no, Jerry,

471
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: I'm I'm mad at him, and he goes, yeah, you

472
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: just found out your dad's a human. Okay, your dad's

473
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 1: a human. He's a regular man, he's not some superhero.

474
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: So you call him and look, you don't have to

475
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: say I love you. Just call him, see how he's doing,

476
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: and just touch base. I didn't, and and and then

477
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: that was a period you know that was a growing

478
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: period of that. But uh, yeah, he's a he's a

479
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: pretty he's a pretty great dude. I'll just say this.

480
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people will be at his funeral.

481
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: That's like the testament for like a great man. It'll

482
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: be yeah.

483
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he means so much to you.

484
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think everyone's dad does, don't they. I mean,

485
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: for all our differences, and we have a ton a

486
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: ton if you met me and met him, you would

487
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: not know we were related. He's pretty quiet, does not

488
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: want to get on stage, and sincerely doesn't want you

489
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: to get on stage. I mean, he just saw me

490
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: do stand up for the first time. No at the Emily.

491
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah no, after all these years, all these years, I

492
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: did the Emily, which is the Arena and Tampa, and

493
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: I said, Yo, if you're gonna you should come and

494
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: see me here. I understand like comedy clubs, but you

495
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: should come to the Arena. It's a big deal. Dad.

496
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: And he got there and I don't think he realized

497
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: what was happening for real, Like he knew I was

498
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: doing a show there, but he called me and he goes,

499
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: Wade Boggs is here. Wade Bogs like our hero playing

500
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: baseball growing up. I said, yeah, I know. I put

501
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: him in your box and he goes, no, budd, he's here.

502
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: Do you think he knows you? And I said, daddy's

503
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: at my show. He goes, Mine, I just saw Mike

504
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,359

00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: people know you? I said, Dad, I'm the reason they're here.

506
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: And then he came backstage and Derek Brooks, who's a

507
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 1: legend played at Florida State, played it at at the Box,

508
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: is backstage talking to my dad, and my dad's staring

509
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: at Derek Brooks going, and he goes, and Derek goes,

510
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: can you believe how far birds come? He's doing the

511
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: amily and I he goes, I was his first show

512
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: at Pop Belly's. And Derek Brooks leaves. My dad goes, Buddy,

513
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: Derek Brooks knows who you are. I was like, yeah,

514
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: I know, Dad, we just spent time with him. He

515
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 1: knows who you are too now. But yeah, my dad

516
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: just he just that was the first time he told

517
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: me to tell me to stand up.

518
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 2: What did he say?

519
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you. I think it

520
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: makes him uncomfortable, like I think he kind of half

521
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 1: looks and half like, I don't think he I don't

522
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: think he laughs a lot at it. I don't know.

523
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: I mean he says, he goes, you're good, but I

524
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: make him uncomfortable. I had a great Shack joke that

525
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: Shack wanted me to put in a special. It's dare

526
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: I say, borderline racist, But Shack and I talked. It

527
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: made us laugh, and Shack's like, you got to put

528
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: that in a special. And my dad's like, that does

529
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: not go in the special. And I was like, dad,

530
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: Shack says, it's okay, and he goes, I don't give

531
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: a shit. I am not comfortable with that joke, so

532
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: I took it out. Shack's like, you took it out

533
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: because your dad? Yeah, what I got a better shock

534
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: joke now?

535
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: Okay, oh yeah, what's the best Jack Joe?

536
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: I can't do it is I don't think your audience

537
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: wants to hear it. Go see me on the psion

538
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: A Party World Tour in September. There we go, that's

539
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: pretty aggressive. Oh all right, that's fun.

540
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 2: That's fine. People going to look forward to seeing that.

541
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: But when you know what I'm hearing about your relationship

542
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 2: with your dad, I think it's so interesting where we

543
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 2: just talked about that unlock of you figure out your

544
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 2: parents are human, and you also get context of their humanity,

545
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 2: Like you were saying, his dad died when he was

546
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 2: thirteen years old, and he saw that and then he

547
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: was scared of losing you. Like I remember, my dad

548
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 2: took me to his the home he grew up in

549
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 2: in India, and his home was the size of this room.

550
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: His home. So the kitchen's in a corner, there's by

551
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: the way, there's five kids that grew up in this house.

552
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: There's a bed over here. We get there. Outside there's bats,

553
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: cockroaches and rats everywhere because he grew up in like

554
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: slum like area. Disgusting. I'm nine years old when I

555
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 2: first go, and then they shared a toilet with like

556
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: twenty thirty families. And I remember going there at nine

557
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: years old, and my whole perspective of my dad completely

558
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: changed because all of a sudden, I had like a

559
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: reference point. Now, my life wasn't luxury in London by

560
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: any means, but it wasn't that. And when you see

561
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 2: like bats and rats and cockroaches at nine years old,

562
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: which like freak you out and you think that's how

563
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 2: your dad just walked to the toilet, walked back to

564
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: his house. He was the youngest of five kids, and

565
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you just get like a completely

566
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: different perspective on the man you're looking at. And it

567
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: sounds like you had that moment as well. And I

568
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: guess my question is it sounds like it's not something

569
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 2: you had to reconcile through a conversation, Like it's not

570
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: like you've sat there and therapized it out or fixed it.

571
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 2: But there's a resolution that's almost happened between both of

572
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: you where he can come and watch you on stage

573
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: even when he hasn't for all these years. Like would

574
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 2: you say there's been healing and you said this forgiveness

575
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 2: from your side, Like what does that look like when

576
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 2: there isn't a conversation, Because I think today we've got

577
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 2: so much about you got to have the conversation.

578
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, you know, I think for my dad a

579
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: lot of it was he always had the answer. You know.

580
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: My dad's the kind of guy that when I was

581
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: a kid, the Iraq War started and I came home

582
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, I was against war because I

583
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: knew that's what hippies were about, and I wanted to

584
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: be a hippie, and so I thought, that's what the

585
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: right answer. I'm against war. And my Dad's like, no,

586
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 1: you're an idiot. Why don't you go to your room

587
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: until you realize what an idiot you are, and then

588
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: when you come down, I'll explain to you why you're

589
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: an idiot. So I went to my room and I

590
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know why I'm an idiot? Like

591
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: what did I and everyone should be against war. My

592
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: dad came downstairs. I go, I don't know why I'm

593
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: an idiot, and he goes, okay, there's a lot of

594
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: interesting things about this war. Number one is the first

595
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: televised war we've ever seen. We're watching them go to

596
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: war and it starts like a football game, and me

597
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: and you have the opportunity to watch this. Number two,

598
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: this man saw him saying is a monster who was

599
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: own people and we are going in to get rid

600
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: of him. You do not know any of the politics,

601
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: so shut your mouth and sit down and watch the war.

602
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: And my dad was like that with everything. If you

603
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: ever said an idea, if I to this day, if

604
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: I say, if I say something anything political, my dad

605
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: takes the opposite side and will tell me so in

606
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 1: a weird way. It never gave me a foot to

607
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: stand on politically. So why I don't talk about politics

608
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: on stage Because whatever I would say, my dad would

609
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: tell me I was wrong. He wanted to show me.

610
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: I think he was protecting me from looking foolish, or

611
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: protecting me from being the guy at a party that

612
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: was a no at all. And you know, my dad

613
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: kind of flew under the radar always. And I think

614
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: when I started getting successful, there was a part of

615
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: my dad where he no longer had an answer for me.

616
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: He no longer had the solution. He couldn't he couldn't

617
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: put me in the right direction. When they fly they're older,

618
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: I send them to a special interest at the airport.

619
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: It's a little expensive, but it's easier for them. My

620
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: dad had to broken hip and got knee problems. My

621
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: mom's my mom's a piece, will work. My mom's like

622
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: me okay and so, and he gets really up. He's like, buddy,

623
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: I don't need this. I can't. You can't afford this.

624
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: And I go, I definitely can afford it, and he's like, no,

625
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: you don't know. So one day I had to send

626
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: to him like my bank statement and be like I

627
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: can afford to put you through there, And he was like,

628
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,399
Speaker 1: what the you like? He just I think and that

629
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: it's not like the you know, the younger lion taking

630
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: over the bigger lion, but like like me, like me

631
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: not letting him pay for meals. That makes him uncomfortable.

632
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: Like that's who he's been. He's been the leader of

633
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: our family. And I'm not saying he's not still our leader.

634
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: He is, by every stretch of the means he is. However,

635
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: I think not having all the answers for me and

636
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: not being able to tell me exactly what to do

637
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: and be confident in his decision made him very uncomfortable.

638
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: I think, I don't know, but.

639
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: You never It didn't seem like you were searching for

640
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: his approval at anybody.

641
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: Oh oh my god, that's all I've been doing my

642
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: whole life, my whole If he didn't like my long hair,

643
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: got a flat top, came into his office and he

644
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: was like, you look like an idiot. I was like, god,

645
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: dang it, Like all I've ever wanted is that man's approval.

646
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: That's it. That's it, entirely, without a doubt, I just

647
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: like when he says, and he says very often, how

648
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: proud he is of me. It doesn't it doesn't miss me.

649
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: It hits me in the chest and it makes me

650
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: feel great. And the fact that he'll call up and

651
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: he'll be like, Buddy, we went to the macaroni girl.

652
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: You know I I say my last name and they go,

653
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: are you related to Burt Christ or they knew who

654
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: you were? Buddy. I got a table right away. They

655
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: gave me. You know, they do the bacon there, you know,

656
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: the big bacon. My dad's like that, he loves it.

657
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: And I think he kind of loves my whatever celebrity

658
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: I have, because it trickles to him. And now like

659
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: when he goes to like when he goes like he

660
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: went to my Special, Him and my mom sat backstage.

661
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: I didn't go in the They sat on chairs on

662
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: side stage. And he's deaf and like not death, but

663
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: he's losing his hearing. So I'm doing the show and

664
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: I hear him say. What did he say? I'm like Jesus,

665
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: Dad said. He said he saw her suck as dick

666
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: what she lost Wade Albert, He saw her give her

667
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: a Leanne gave him a blow job, and I'm like, well,

668
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: you two shut up, but yeah, they yeah, I'm constantly

669
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: seeking his approval. I think it probably could be said

670
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: for my career. I think the reason I'm into comedy

671
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: is I'm searching for approval. I want people to like

672
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: me I do. I want people to have a good time,

673
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: and I want people to go, you were fun. I

674
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 1: don't need to be the best comic, but I want

675
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: the people that see me to really have had a

676
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: great time.

677
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: And like me, when was the first time you felt

678
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: like you got his approval?

679
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: Will Smith? Yeah? Will Smith, Well, I got a deal

680
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: and like twenty six years old, I've been doing stand up.

681
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: On my twenty sixth birthday, I was in New York

682
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: and I was just partying. I wasn't doing stand up.

683
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: I've been there for a couple months and I got

684
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: hammered the night before and it was my birthday. And

685
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: my phone rang at like eight o'clock in the morning,

686
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: nine o'clock in the morning, and I saw it was

687
00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: my dad call her. I d and I said, you know,

688
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: I answer it, let him say happy birthday, and I

689
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: go back to sleep. I answer it and he says,

690
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: you are a tremendous piece of shit. And I'm like,

691
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: I go dad, and he goes, yeah, yeah, it's your dad.

692
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: And he goes, you are worthless. You have no humility.

693
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: You're doing nothing. He goes, I just perjured myself in

694
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: court because of you. The judge said, al, how's your

695
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: son doing? And I said great, that is a lie.

696
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: You are not doing great and you never will do great.

697
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: I have failed you as a father. I gave you

698
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: no humility. I taught you no life lessons. You never

699
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: had to work for anything. Things came easy to you.

700
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you. And I said to him, I

701
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: go it's my birthday. And he goes, I know what

702
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: day it is. He goes, I gave birth to you.

703
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: We were there when you got born. And he goes,

704
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. And I was like Dad, I go, well, okay,

705
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: so what do I do with this? He goes nothing.

706
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: He goes, I'll foot the bill, be a party boy.

707
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I want to. I want to.

708
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: I don't want you to feel this way about me.

709
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: And he goes, no, you should not want to feel

710
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: this way about yourself. And I said to him, and

711
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: what can I do? He said, well, if you're serious

712
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: about comedy, then you'll go to that club tonight and

713
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: you'll do whatever you can to get on stage. You'll

714
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: go to that man and you'll say, my name is

715
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: Burt Kreisler. I would like to be a stand up.

716
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: I'll clean up, I'll mop up, I'll i'll flip burgers,

717
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: I'll stand out. I'll do whatever you need. But I

718
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: need an opportunity. And I said, I remember saying to him,

719
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: I go, I can't do it today tonight because I

720
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: have a party planned. He was silent, and he just goes,

721
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: you have a party. He goes, you don't deserve a party.

722
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: What are you throwing a party for? You're a failure.

723
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: You go to that club tonight, you take yourself to dinner.

724
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: I want you to write down some goals, and then

725
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: you after that dinner, you go to that club and

726
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: you tell whoever you need to you'll do whatever you can,

727
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: and you'll do it for free. And I said that

728
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: that's not how it works. I remember him very clearly saying, Hey,

729
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: first time young black kid in Harlem, that's how it

730
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: works for him. Do you know why? Because he has

731
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: humilion and he knows how to get what he wants.

732
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: That's how it works for him. Doesn't work for you

733
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: because you're white and you feel like everything should be

734
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: given to you. And I went okay, so I said,

735
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: all right, I'll do it. So I didn't. I took

736
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: myself to a restaurant on seventh and Leaker, and then

737
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: I wrote down twenty six goals that I had planned

738
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: for that year. So I was starting twenty six. I

739
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: went to the Boston comedy club. I met a god

740
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: named Louis Shaeffer and I told him exactly what my

741
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: dad said. My name is Burt. I want to do this.

742
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: Any advice, anything you do, get me on stage. And

743
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: Louis Shaffer said you should move back to Tampa, and

744
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: I went what. He goes, You're not going to be

745
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: a comedian in New York. You don't have what it takes.

746
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: And I went home almost like victorious. I was like, so, Dad,

747
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: this is how it works. I told you. I was right.

748
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: I called him the next morning. He goes, how did

749
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: it go? I said, not good. This is exactly what

750
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: he said, and he goes, perfect, this is what I

751
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: want you to do. You go back tonight and you

752
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: say the same sentence as if he d never said

753
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: it to you. And I said okay. So I said, well,

754
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: what do I do if he says the same thing?

755
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: And he goes, You're going to do that every single

756
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: night until there's a point where you're going to break him.

757
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: And he's going to go, fine, I'll give you a job.

758
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: So I went back that night and I went, Hey, Louis,

759
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: my name is Burt Kreischer. I want to be a

Speaker 1: months later, Will Smith discovered me. Will Smith discovered me,

789
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: and my dad was floored. He was fed. We watched

790
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: the I Sprints on Monday night. Every Monday night. It

791
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: was a six figure development deal, and I remember that

792
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: was the first time my dad didn't have an answer

793
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: and I said, uh, I said, what do I do

794
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: with this money? He goes, I don't know. I've never

795
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: gotten a paycheck like that. Here's buddy. I. I remember

796
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: him stuttering like, I can't tell you. I don't know.

797
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: He goes, let me hook you up with Bob Kazari

798
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: and I still remember the guy's name over at Merrill

799
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: Lynch and we'll figure it out. And that was when

800
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: my dad was like, he's like, you met Will Smith.

801
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: Will Smith taught me how to pitch movies and pitch

802
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: TV shows, and he was like a blessing in my life.

803
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's beautiful. I didn't realize we had Will in

804
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 2: commedy either.

805
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: Will. I mean, I love Will.

806
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of my favorite He's one of my family.

807
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: He is. He is the sweetest guy in the world.

808
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: He was so good to me. He gave me great advice.

809
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: We're about to pitch ABC. Jamie Tarz's got rest her soul,

810
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: and I drove over from the valley with him and

811
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: Jay j J L and Uh James J and I

812
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: and I had to piss and Will came in and

813
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: he goes, I'll go to the bathroom with you. So

814
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: he sat at the stall right next to me at ABC,

815
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: and all any guy knows that The sound of a

816
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:16,439
Speaker 1: man's urine hitting a toilet sometimes indicates how big their

817
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: their their dick is. And he had a fire hose.

818
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean it was like aw and I got I

819
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: couldn't peet, I got gunshi And Will says to me,

820
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: can I tell you everything you need to know about Hollywood?

821
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: But I'm so in my head going pee pee pee.

822
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: I didn't hear a word. I didn't hear one word.

823
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 1: And then he goes and then he stops peeing. I realized,

824
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: if I can't be next to Will Smith, I can't

825
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: sell it show next to Will Smith. I start peeing

826
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: and all I hear him say is be yourself. That's it.

827
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I heard. And then I went

828
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: into the room and uh, Will was like Burt used

829
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: to party hard or something. I was like, yeah, you

830
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: guys ever try to knock yourself out And they're like huh.

831
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: And we used to do that in college, and you

832
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: had to do it on the side of a like

833
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: put your head against something because if you just hit

834
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: your head, it's not gonna happen. And I knocked myself

835
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: just like and we sold a sickcom that day.

836
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: I love that.

837
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the best.

838
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the best, dude. It's like, as I'm listening

839
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 2: to you, I'm just like, there's it's so interesting because

840
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 2: I feel like that moment that you told me about

841
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: baseball with you know, you and your dad and your

842
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: dad telling you, like on your birthday, just go play

843
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: and then we sort it out later. What was the

844
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 2: power of that? Like, what was the good thing about that?

845
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 2: And then what was the hard thing about that? Like

846
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: there was good obviously that came from it. This work

847
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 2: epic disability to turn off, the ability to push through pain,

848
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: but there must have been some pain that stayed which

849
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: search for that approval. But what was the good and

850
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 2: the bad? Because it sounds like you've been able to

851
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 2: process both.

852
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: You know, he had a mentality shitting cash checks. And

853
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: when I was at travel Channel at the very tail end,

854
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: I was just hoping to get renewed, and I knew

855
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: they were changing presidents and I had lasted like three

856
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: or four presidents. But every time you went to a

857
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: new president, and it was money and I needed money,

858
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: had a family. I was ignoring stand up, I was

859
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: ignoring the podcast, all the stuff that I do now.

860
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: I was ignoring all of it. And I was at

861
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: the beach with my dad. We're having a cigar and

862
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: a glass of wine, and he goes, so, what's the deal,

863
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: what's our plan? I was, I think I was forty

864
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: two years old, forty three years old, looking for my

865
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: dad's approval and this is so my dad. I go,

866
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, buddy, each shit cash checks thinking, he go,

867
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: that's my guy, and my dad started crying. He goes, oh,

868
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: I think I hit you up. He goes, each shit

869
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: cash checks means is for guys like me with no talent,

870
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: guys like you need to go after your talent.

871
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 2: Wow.

872
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: And he was crying. And you know, Rogan had just

873
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: said that to me too. He had just had that

874
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: conversation with me. And my Dad's like, if you don't

875
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: go for it, now you're going to regret it. He's like,

876
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: do it because I had this long standing offer from

877
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: Showtime Gary Garfinkel, God rest his soul to do a special,

878
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: and I kept pushing it to do Travel Channel stuff,

879
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: and he goes, buddy, you should do it. You should

880
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 1: hey follow your dreams. So I did this Showtime special.

881
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,959
Speaker 1: No one watched it because I took my shirt off.

882
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: He's like I remember I'm remember them saying, you know,

883
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:01,959
Speaker 1: if you take your short off of giving the reason

884
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: to change channel. But what's fascinating is the thing that

885
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: gets them to change the channel. Back in the day

886
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 1: where you were Caesar and you'd be like, no, no,

887
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: is the exact opposite for the internet. You see a

888
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: guy with no shirt on in the Internet, You're like,

889
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: what's this? And you click it? And I posted the

890
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: machine story and it went viral and it was I

891
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: remember my but my dad gave me this like insane

892
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: thing of even if you're sick, you show up, even

893
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: if you're even if you're hurt, you show up. I

894
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: think it's my punitive way that I work out is

895
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: that if I'm hungover, I work out extra hard. I

896
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: was hungover. I flew all, drank all day yesterday in

897
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: New York, flew here last night. This morning, I got

898
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: up at eight, got in the sawa for thirty minutes,

899
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 1: got in the gym. We did abs. Who wants they

900
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: do abs? Ran lifted weights and sweated out. But that's

901
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: my dad's mentality is like, you get up, you do

902
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: your work, no matter what. That was the lesson I

903
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: mean I and my takeaway from being eleven and getting

904
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,959
Speaker 1: hurt when you finish in and you don't let anyone down,

905
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: you don't you get you finish the game, you know.

906
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: I had a showcase for ICM one time. This is

907
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: just my dad's mentality, and there was a guy that

908
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: went opened it and then the next guy went on

909
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: was a guy named Earthquake. Do you know earthquake? Unfollowable,

910
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: black dude who destroys, destroys. His name's Earthquake, I mean

911
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,560
Speaker 1: just and he's Earthquake because he leaves you the room

912
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: in an earthquake. And I watched all my friends, I

913
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: won't say their names, were all all my white friend

914
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: comedians panic. No one wanted to follow Earthquake. And they

915
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: just came to me. They're like, you want to go

916
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 1: up after earthquake? And I just my dad would be like, yeah,

917
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: that's your job, do your job. And I went up

918
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,879
Speaker 1: after earthquake and he had a joke. His last joke

919
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: was about his name Earthquake. I forget the joke, but

920
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: I knew My first joke was about my name Bert.

921
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: So the joke was was my name is Burt. I

922
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: know what you're thinking, hot sexy named you do porn. No,

923
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: I said, BUR's the last name I want to hear

924
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: during just someone check on top of you in the

925
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: dark corn ah boot and then I go, sh call

926
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: me earthquake and the place exploded. But you know, here's

927
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: the thing, and this is my dad's my dad's Brent

928
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 1: mentality is if you don't get on stage, if you

929
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: don't show up to work, all the stuff that could

930
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: possibly make your life great just disappears. And that's been

931
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 1: my mentality this whole career is you show up, no

932
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: matter what. You show up. You got an audition, you

933
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: show up, you get they want to meet you in

934
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: a general meeting. You still don't think it's right for you.

935
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: You show up. And that's definitely the way I've taken

936
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: the road. Dude, Let's do the road. Make sun makes

937
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: hey while the sun shines. Get out there and grind.

938
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And that's what it takes. I mean, I

939
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: feel like comedy is like there's a new comedian every

940
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: month that's taken off. You've had like a long standing career.

941
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 2: It's hard to do that. To keep reinventing yourself, keep

942
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 2: coming back special off to special, success, off to success,

943
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: It's hard to do that.

944
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like it came from that idea. I

945
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: mean a lot of my friends like it. Just like

946
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: the pandemic hit and my brain was like, that doesn't

947
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: mean we can't do stand up and then like no,

948
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: the country is shut down, and I went, I'll figure

949
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: it out. And I so I came up with a

950
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 1: type of touring outdoor comedy festivals where I took drive

951
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: a movie theaters and I plugged into their system. We

952
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: showed it up on the big screen. We shot it

953
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: with four cameras. All the feeds went into the car

954
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: so everyone could say socially distant. And I did. I

955
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: think I did thirty cities. I think maybe did thirty cities,

956
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: sixty shows and shows I did. I tore the all

957
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: through the pandemic. That's just the way my brain works.

958
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: It's like, just because you say no, that doesn't mean look,

959
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. You gotta work. Yeah, don't just

960
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: take the foot off the gas.

961
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 2: What I love about the earthquake story too, it's like

962
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 2: what your dad said, if you didn't put yourself under

963
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 2: that pressure, you wouldn't have found that great new take.

964
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: If you're a dad right now, when you're listening. This

965
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: is the only takeaway you need. My dad, whether it's

966
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: true or not, always told me you love pressure, buddy.

967
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: When all the chips are on the table, you perform

968
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 1: your best. I don't know what it is about you,

969
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: but you love the pressure. You just love it. And

970
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: I'll tell you my whole baseball career. If we were down, man,

971
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 1: all first and second were down by two runs, that's

972
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: when I performed. When we faced the fastest picture we

973
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: ever faced. That's the guy I hit the best off of.

974
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you is in stand up I've always

975
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 1: done best when the most pressure is on me. I

976
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: need to do secret time. First show, I bomb. I'm

977
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: only doing two shows. I bomb. I bomb. I hadn't

978
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: bombed with this hour ever, and I bombed. The crowd

979
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: had to wait in the rain, we had a power shortage.

980
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 1: It just it was horrible and I'm nervous. I got

981
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: one more show. This is my first Netflix special. I

982
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: got one more show. And I'm sitting in the green

983
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: room and Leanne just echoes my dash. He goes, well,

984
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: you know you love pressure. This is when he's going

985
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: to form the best sit back everybody, and man, that

986
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: show I mean, best stand up show I've ever had

987
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 1: in my entire career was that one show that was murderous.

988
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,720
Speaker 2: Well, people say, with comedians, obviously, there's such a defense

989
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,760
Speaker 2: mechanism with humor and comedy to mask pain and challenges

990
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. I wonder, and you've

991
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 2: said before as well, like I usually you know laugh

992
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 2: through pain. It's like, what's the pain that you couldn't

993
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: laugh through?

994
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: I hesitate to even say this, but I've been very lucky.

995
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: I've been very lucky. I haven't had a lot of

996
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: tragedy in my life, and I can laugh at just

997
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: about anything. I laughed at my grandmother's funeral. I laughed

998
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: twice at my grandmother's funeral.

999
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 2: Tell us.

1000
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: I started crying. My dad ADU like, don't cry in

1001
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: front of your kids. And I started crying. And this

1002
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: is before we put Priscilla down. I started crying. He goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, Hey,

1003
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: stand up. It's him and my uncle Jerry, and my

1004
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: dad goes Buddy pulled together and I was like, I'm upset,

1005
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: and he goes, why, I go because your mom is

1006
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,880
Speaker 1: in a box up there, and he's like, yeah, she

1007
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: had a great life. You celebrate her life. You don't cry.

1008
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: Can't let your girls see you cry. Then they're going

1009
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: to be freaked out. I was like, Dad, it's just

1010
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: it's just hard looking at her. And he goes, no, no, no, no,

1011
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: you're fine. And I go, well, she they have her.

1012
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: She's not smiling, and he goes, are you an idiot?

1013
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: He goes, do you want her smiling in that box?

1014
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: Do you have any idea? Creep you? That is it?

1015
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: And I started laughing and then he goes, there you go.

1016
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: All right, you're out of it. Good, let's go. So

1017
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: then at the end of that funeral, everyone leaves. My

1018
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: dad and my uncle Jerry. Oh, I mean this makes

1019
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,319

00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go say good bye to grandma. And

1021
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: this was them saying, it's oh, create get a cry.

1022
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've never seen two uglier cries in

1023
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: my life. These men let go of years of trauma.

1024
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,839
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'll tell you right before she died,

1025
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: this is the hardest I've ever watched. These two men laugh.

1026
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: We go to the hospital. My grandmother's a congenitive heart

1027
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: failure or whatever. So we go to the hospital. Grandma's

1028
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: in the bed. Uncle Jerry and my dad are in

1029
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: the corner and they're hiding them their faces because they're crying.

1030
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: They're hiding their faces behind the curtains, okay, and they're

1031
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: really emotional, and I'm not, for whatever reason, I'm not

1032
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: in that moment. And I go, hey, Grandma, how you doing?

1033
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: And she goes, ugh, my back hurts. That's that's heart

1034
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: failures when your back hurts. And I go, well, do

1039
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: it out of this. And then I go, wait, I

1040
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: think you might have dropped a tissue behind your bed,

1041
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: because I can feel I think there's tissue falling off,

1042
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: and she goes, that's my skin. And my dad and

00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's when was the first of you let

1054
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: this is. This is in Priscilla's third knee surgery. Priscilla

1055
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: had five knee surgeries. On her second knee surgery, they

1056
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: realized the other knee was bad too. They were gonna

1057
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: have to do another one. And the guy goes, listen,

1058
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: you're fifteen grand into this dog. I think it's just

1059
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: I think we need to put her down. And I

1060
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: went what And he goes, I can't promise that these

1086
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 2: such an interesting fascinating person, because like you've got this

1087
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 2: larger than life personality, You've got this party of background,

1088
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,520

00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,960

1093
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: I think that's accurate. I don't think anyone. I think

00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: people will think I'm the one thing, and then when

1095
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 1: they find out, like the one that always shocks everyone

1096
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:06,080

1109
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: that wanted to watch Fletch three times in a night.

1110
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: How does she get about, obviously all of the exposure

1111
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 2: of her life and her sex life as well. What's

1112
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 2: like allowed? What? What do you need permission for? What

1113
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: do you get away with without.

1114
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: Any She says, as long as it's funny. Oh wow

1115
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: that she goes, as long as it's not mean and

1116
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: it's funny, I'm in I remember the time I realized

1117
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: she was game for anything. She farted during oral sex

1118
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: and I made a joke and she started crying. I said,

1119
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: what are you crying about? I'm not wanting the fire hole?

1120
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: Do you'm shit in my mouth? What do you you're crying?

1121
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: And she said to me, you're definitely telling this on

1122
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: stage and I wait, I said, what can I And

1123
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: she goes, well, yeah, obviously if I did this, someone

1124
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: else has done this. I'm not the only one that

1125
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: ever did it. And it's funny. You should talk about

1126
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 1: this on stage, and I did, and man it was.

1127
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: It was like a killer bit for a while, but like, yeah,

1128
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: she watched this hour and her note was I'm cool

1129
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,439
Speaker 1: with everything you're saying. I need to know the way

1130
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: you're saying it has loved it, Like I started a

1131
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: smile in it because I was doing when you do

1132
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: material a lot, you get bored of it and sometimes

1133
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: you don't show the sparkle in it the way you

1134
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: did when you wrote it. And with this material, I

1135
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 1: mean making fun of a woman because she's getting older

1136
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: and she's going through menopause and she's aging. And if

1137
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: you don't say it with love or a smile. That

1138
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: was very exact word. There needs to be a smile

1139
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: and a little bit of rascal your voice, like you

1140
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: need to say. And so she was really adamant about that.

1141
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 2: I love that. She's like a comedy coach.

1142
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh she's. I mean, look, she's not funny. Let's be

1143
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: very clear. I take offense when she tells the people

1144
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: at the party, I'm the funny one at home. I go,

1145
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,240
Speaker 1: hang on, my comedy bought the house. Let's be real. Okay,

1146
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: she's she's a gangster. She's awesome, and same with our girls.

1147
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: She kind of monitors the material and and runs runs

1148
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: it by with them with her and talks to them

1149
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: about it. And you know, yeah, do.

1150
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 2: They think Dad's really cool or Dad's human?

1151
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: Oh? Human? They don't think I'm cool at all. They

1152
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 1: do not.

1153
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 2: When did that? When did it go from cool to human?

1154
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 2: Or was it ever cool?

1155
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: In the cool I don't think it's you know, I

1156
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,399
Speaker 1: had a period of where Georgia I could tell, thought

1157
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: I was kind of cool. Like Georgia had this like

1158
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: we took her on fully loaded one year, her and

1159
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: her friend Daisy, I got this great picture at the

1160
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: end of the night, I we I tell the machine,

1161
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: and then I'd bring all the comics on stage and

1162
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: I'd have them bring me a beer and I'd kill

1163
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: a beer and I'd spit it in the air, and

1164
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,759
Speaker 1: it was a fun moment to wait to close the show.

1165
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: It was always a really cool picture. And one year

1166
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: I call all the comics out and then everyone starts

1167
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: walking off and I'm saying goodbye, and Georgia comes out.

1168
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: I got this great picture and she throws her arm

1169
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: in the air like she just did a stand like

1170
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: she like she didn't stand up, and I was like,

1171
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: what are you doing? She goes, I just wanted to

1172
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: see what it felt like. But like I think they

1173
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: think I'm okay. I don't think they think I'm cool. Like,

1174
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: in all honesty, if I didn't ever go to their

1175
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: college ever again, they'd be very comfortable with that.

1176
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 2: Well, why do you turn up to the clubs.

1177
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 1: Like parents weekend, Parents Weekend, or you know. We went

1178
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: and looked at colleges. I wanted Georgia to go to Boulder,

1179
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: and so we went to Boulder and this kid yells

1180
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: out the window the machine and then all of a sudden,

1181
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: word got out on campus and kids started running and

1182
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 1: finding me. And I watched this kid, my child lose

1183
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: interest in a school very quick, A great school, one

1184
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,720
Speaker 1: of the best schools in the universe. I love that school.

1185
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: And she was like, yeah, I'm not going here. And

1186
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 1: I was like, what, she goes, I'm not going to

1187
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: a place where you have fans. I was like, baby,

1188
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be tough. And then she was like,

1189
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: I won't go to Florida State. I won't go to Florida.

1190
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,439
Speaker 1: I'm not going here, not going to Georgia. I'm going

1191
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find my place. And so I didn't go

1192
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: look at schools with her. And the next two schools

1193
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: she looked at she loved. She got into both of

1194
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: them and she chose one and same with Isla. Would

1195
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: they hate when I get recognized? Last night we flew

1196
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,320
Speaker 1: in and paparazzi was waiting for me at the airport,

1197
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: and Georgia was just like like she walked in and

1198
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: stood by a wall and was like, she was like,

1199
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: can we just mom, can make this stop? And I

1200
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: was like, I don't. I'm not rude. So I'm like,

1201
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to them. If they want to talk

1202
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: to me, I'll say something to them. I'm not gonna

1203
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: be there forever, but yeah, they I think they would

1204
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,400
Speaker 1: be cool if I wasn't famous.

1205
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 2: How do you deal with that, Like with when you're

1206
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 2: raising kids, You've been doing this for a long time.

1207
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: They've probably been exposed to it since there were kids, Like,

1208
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 2: how how have you had that conversation with them? Because

1209
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 2: obviously it's still not easy for them.

1210
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 1: We had a moment we were skiing. It was a

1211
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: very luxurious thing to do. It's not lost on my

1212
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: kids because we didn't always have money. But we were

1213
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: skiing and Georgia was having a rough time. There was

1214
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: something going on with Georgia. By the way, we didn't

1215
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: know this, but we all had COVID at the time,

1216
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: and so George's having a rough time and she has

1217
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: a meltdown and she's you know, you know what a

1218
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: junior in college high school at the time, she's having

1219
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: a meltdown and I'm talking to her in front of

1220
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: where we're staying, right by the lifts, and we're both

1221
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: in our ski outfits. I'm hold by snowboard. She's got

1222
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: her snowboard and she's crying, and I'm trying to talk

1223
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: to her and help her out with this thing she's

1224
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: going through. And these two dudes are like, oh shit,

1225
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: the machine. And I just look in her eyes and

1226
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: she's like, and I was like, what's up, guys, Like

1227
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: can we get a picture? Like I'm kind of doing

1228
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: a thing like real quick, real quick, and I'm like,

1229
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: it's easier just to take the picture than to and

1230
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: so I take the picture. She goes, I understand that

1231
00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: this allows us to do this. She goes, it would

1232
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: be nice just to have my dad sometimes, and I

1233
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: was like, I know, And it's sharing your your time

1234
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: with fans is what is difficult for them. And I'm

1235
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: not a good guy at like saying no, like I don't.

1236
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 1: I've seen my friends do that before and it always

1237
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: rubs me wrong. I'm like, just take a picture with it.

1238
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I feel the same way. Yeah, it's like

1239
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 2: It's almost like this is the reason why you get

1240
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 2: to do what you love every day, and the least

1241
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: you can do is at.

1242
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,680
Speaker 1: Least you can do is take a second and listen

1243
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: to someone.

1244
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm assuming with you as well. People have

1245
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 2: great stories, Like that's why I feel like I get

1246
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 2: to talk to people who just have amazing stories to

1247
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 2: share and life changing moments. And I'm like, I feel

1248
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: like if I didn't sit there and listen to that,

1249
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 2: it almost gives me fuel to keep going and you know,

1250
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 2: keep moving because yeah, I hear amazing things. I'm sure

1251
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 2: you do too.

1252
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 1: Oh so, I mean, you know, you forget you know

1253
00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of what we do is talk. We talk.

1254
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's someone right now that probably has a

1255
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: weird relationship with their dad and hearing this and this one.

1256
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's things that we hope it's funny too.

1257
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,720
Speaker 1: But you know, like doing the biggest one I always

1258
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: got was you got me through the pandemic, because you know,

1259
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: we put out content for them to distract themselves with

1260
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,279
Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't have big houses to stay

1261
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: unduring the pandemic. They were in an apartment and they're

1262
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: just like, this is miserable, and I get that a lot.

1263
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: I get, you know, right now, the one I'm getting is,

1264
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, you know, we just put our dog down.

1265
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: You I've never I've never laughed and sobbed at the

1266
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: same time. Thank you for letting us process. And but

1267
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, at the least I can the least I

1268
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: can do is take a second and talk to someone

1269
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: who wants to say hi to me.

1270
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And it's like, I mean that that's something

1271
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 2: that you do quite uniquely. I feel like the ability

1272
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 2: to make someone laugh and gray even like as we've

1273
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 2: been talking today, I'm like, I'm like having like a

1274
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 2: really emotional moment with you, and you're like making me

1275
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 2: crack off at the other end with like Grandma's funeral,

1276
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 2: like being in the hospital, and there's a there's a

1277
00:56:56,600 --> 00:56:59,319
Speaker 2: real beauty in that. Like have you ever sat and

1278
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 2: thought about like, was this the first time in this

1279
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: special that you got extra emotional and got people to crimes?

1280
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 2: Was this like one of the first times, or.

1281
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never done this before. I mean, I'm I

1282
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: don't I don't mean this like cocky, but I don't

1283
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 1: think I don't think there's a lot of comics that's

1284
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that are doing that? And I didn't

1285
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: know if I should do.

1286
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 2: It, like you made you do it? Why did you

1287
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 2: go there?

1288
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: It was ready. I did that story before Razzle Dazzle.

1289
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna do it at the end Razzle Dazzle,

1290
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: and I just thought, I don't know it just it

1291
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: felt weird to me for that material. That material, it

1292
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: felt weird. And I and then and I was and

1293
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: Georgia called me one time on stage. I was on

1294
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,440
Speaker 1: stage and right before I released Razzle Dazzle. She goes,

1295
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: what are you doing? I said, I'm going to stand up.

1296
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: She goes, oh, are you telling the escape room story?

1297
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: And I was like no, why should I? She goes, absolutely, Dad.

1298
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: Do you remember you almost shit in Papa's mouth? And

1299
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,439
Speaker 1: I went, oh yeah, And then she kind of broke

1300
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: down the story on stage told it. I went, that's

1301
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: my closer and I was like, good, I'll get made

1302
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: fun of if I do this dog story. Everyone's going

1303
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: to make fun of me. And and and say, I

1304
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: just I can I'm thinking of it too much. And

1305
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: then I do this special and everyone I was working

1306
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: with was like, are you seeing what's happening in the

1307
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: room and I was like, no, because you can't really

1308
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: see anything. And they're like, yo, we're out there, and

1309
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 1: they're like grown men are sobbing crying, like people are

1310
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: holding each other and laughing and crying at the same time.

1311
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: They're like this is different. Like I remember a dude

1312
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: I really respect I brought with me on the road.

1313
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: He's like, that has to be your closer. He's like that.

1314
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 1: He goes, I don't know one comic making people cry,

1315
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: but making them happy cry like they're crying for something

1316
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: they love, and then they're laughing and you end on

1317
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: a laugh. He's like, you have to do it. I

1318
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: just didn't know if it was working. It was like

1319
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: where you said about writing a book, you sit with

1320
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: it for four years and then and I shot this

1321
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: in July and it just came out this March. So

1322
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: I've been sitting on this special and I just was like,

1323
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: I am going to get destroyed. Like I just started

1324
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: in my head going like, no one's gonna like this.

1325
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna make fun of this last story. They're gonna go, oh,

1326
00:58:55,920 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: bird always cries, that's all he does. And and I

1327
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: put it out like the first day. It was trending

1328
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: at number two and I went which I'd never trended

1329
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: over six, and I was like, WHOA, that's weird. And

1330
00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 1: I went into my stories where people like mention you,

1331
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: and it just looked like a straight line and I

1332
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: was like whoa. And I was like, I only got

1333
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: one story. I only got one person mentioning me. And

1334
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: I hit it and I hit it and I was like,

1335
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 1: oh my god. I couldn't get the line to go away.

1336
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, and it was all about this story.

1337
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: Everyone was just sobbing, crying. People were sending me pictures

1338
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: of their dogs. They were holding their dogs, they were

1339
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: filming their husband's crying. They were I mean, it was

1340
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: so cathartic for me. And I'll be very real. So

1341
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 1: you go on Netflix on a Tuesday, you find out

1342
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: if you trend on Wednesday. I did press all Wednesday morning,

1343
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: from six in the morning till nine o'clock. I don't

1344
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: know if anyone's liked the special. I don't know if

1345
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: it's trending. I don't know any of that. I go

1346
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 1: and take a nap and I'm waiting for an agent

1347
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 1: or someone to text me. Like I figured, I said

1348
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: to myself, if it's just trends in the top ten,

1349
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be happy. Look, i'm fifty two. Maybe there's

1350
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: guys doing it better than me, younger than me. I

1351
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: expect them to just blow my doors off. Just please

1352
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: tell me I have another year of doing stand up

1353
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,919
Speaker 1: like the way your Head thinking. And I took a nap.

1354
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: I woke up and I got a text from a

1355
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:22,320
Speaker 1: younger comic I really really like Ricky Blez and he

1356
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: just said, Yo, man, you're killing it. This is a

1357
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,240
Speaker 1: great special. I've been a fan of yours for a while.

1358
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: I'd love to hang out next time in LA and

1359
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: not do a podcast hang out. And I was like,

1360
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: that's cool. And I like this guy. This guy's doing

1361
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 1: what I was trying to do at his age. He's

1362
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: doing it way better than I'm doing it. So I

1363
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 1: was like, oh nice. I was like, you liked the special? Cool.

1364
01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: I was like nice, a young kid liked the special.

1365
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: And then my texts blow up and that's when I

1366
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: went into my stories and I saw it. And as

1367
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm watching the stories, people are saying I started sobbing, crying,

1368
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: just out of gratitude, out of just sitting there going

1369
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 1: like oh, the thing I did is good. It's not horrible.

1370
01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 2: It's not horrible.

1371
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: People don't hate me. Oh. I was just sobbing crying

1372
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: in my bed. I was like, and then Leanne comes

1373
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: in from her workout class. She's like, what's wrong with you?

1374
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: She just watched it. She goes, you're training at number

1375
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: two and I was like, what. I didn't even look

1376
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: at Netflix. And then I was like and so I

1377
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: was like, whatever, I'm good. My first day was good.

1378
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: And then it's been like that every day. The response

1379
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: has been crazy. People really are connecting with that last story.

1380
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk to me about what you just said now,

1381
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:29,360
Speaker 2: that that inevitable embracing of insignificance and irrelevance that everyone

1382
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 2: goes through, like that idea that one day, oh yeah,

1383
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 2: no one's going to care about me, No one's going

1384
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 2: to care about you, No one's going to care about

1385
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percent of everyone who's relevant current

1386
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 2: whatever trending we want to call it. And there's that

1387
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 2: thing that creatives go to where you see them holding

1388
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 2: on to their last bit of relevance and significance. And

1389
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 2: it's painful to watch, Yeah, but you understand it because

1390
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 2: you go, well, wait a minute, I really liked no

1391
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:00,960
Speaker 2: matter how much we say, Like you know, Ellen said

1392
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 2: something that I love, she goes. I used to always

1393
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: say I didn't care what people thought. That's when everyone

1394
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: thought I was amazing. Like, you know, it's like it's

1395
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 2: really easy to I don't care what anyone thinks when

1396
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,600
Speaker 2: I'm the number one person in the world. But then

1397
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 2: when you actually are not number one, number two, number three,

1398
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 2: number four, you start getting down on that list. You'll

1399
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 2: be on number ten. Now you do start caring what

1400
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: people think, especially like what you said the New God like,

1401
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 2: and especially when the new God has respect, that's a

1402
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 2: beautiful thing. Yeah, But when the new god's kind of like,

1403
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 2: you know, living how you were when you were the

1404
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: New God, who has that overconfidence, that arrogance, how do

1405
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 2: you think about that? Like how have you reflected? Have

1406
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 2: you thought about that at all?

1407
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: It's all I think. You remember, I didn't. I was

1408
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: like I was just going to be a journeyman comic,

1409
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Like I wasn't supposed to be successful. I you know,

1410
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: I did Travel Channel and I thought that was gonna

1411
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: be my life. And then when I got let go

1412
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 1: from Travel Channel and my special didn't do well, never

1413
01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: the machine didn't do well, and I'm getting fast shamed

1414
01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 1: by Tommy. I was like, okay, I remember saying, are

1415
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 1: we cool with this? Can we do this like this?

1416
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 1: At this level? Like I was the guy at the store.

1417
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: When people would talk to me, more successful comments would

1418
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: talk to me, they'd look over my shoulder waiting for

1419
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: someone better to talk to. I was a nice guy.

1420
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: People liked me, but I wasn't relevant to them, and

1421
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: so they were like, ooh, that guy's Oh, that guy's

1422
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: twenty eight and he's killing it. I'll give me one second,

1423
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: but I want to go talk to him. And I

1424
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: was like, am I cool with that? I remember one

1425
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: to him coming off stage, not wearing cool sneakers, wearing

1426
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: dad jeans and seeing a young comic murdering it in

1427
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: the car that my wife and I had seen in

1428
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 1: we had looked at that brand car and that he

1429
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: had the car they had in the showroom, a car

1430
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: was like two hundred and twenty thousand dollars and I

1431
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, how can you afford that? So I

1432
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be successful, and I was cool with it.

1433
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 1: I was definitely cool with it. I was like, I

1434
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,640
Speaker 1: can just do comedy at Funny Bones. I love comedy.

1435
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: I'll keep putting out specials. Maybe never know. Look, Rogan's

1436
01:03:56,600 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: a good friend. I can always do his podcast. You know.

1437
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: That's how my brain worked. I had my podcast, but

1438
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: no one cared. And then I had the conversation with

1439
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: my dad. I got like a from Travel Channel. I

1440
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: had the conversation with Brogan and him and Tommy, but

1441
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: I remember them both saying like, don't worry, we can

1442
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: help you get ad sales, and I was like, okay,

1443
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: and then I posted the machine story and then all

1444
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden it went like crazy. I mean I

1445
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: had never experienced that before, like genuinely viral. And then

1446
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I started selling tickets and I

1447
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, holy crap, this is crazy. He's just

1448
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: selling out and not looking at ticket counts, just going

1449
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 1: in and knowing everything's clean. And so I really honestly

1450
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: had kind of already let go of all of it,

1451
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: but there's a part of me that remembers, Oh, it

1452
01:04:39,880 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: was cool when I remember getting right before I got

1453
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: let go in Travel Channel, I got into a town car.

1454
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:46,440
Speaker 1: They got me a town car for something, and I

1455
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 1: remember getting in and going this is the last town

1456
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: car ride in I was like, I should really enjoy this.

1457
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: So I kept always saying that. Every time I went

1458
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: to theaters, I was like, I probably won't do theaters again.

1459
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: You only do theaters once. Really, I'll go back to clubs,

1460
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: but enjoy this. This is the Chicago Theater. Let's go

1461
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: for a job tonight, watch the sunset, and then yo ah,

1462
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: this is crazy. I'm doing the Beacon. I probably I'm

1463
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: not going to sell two shows at the Beacon ever again.

1464
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: So let's really enjoy this. And I brought my girls

1465
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 1: that I grew up with in Tampa up to the

1466
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 1: out to my bus and we hung out. And then

1467
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: when I started doing arena, I didn't even know I

1468
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: was going to do arenas. I didn't know I was

1469
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: doing an arena. I was in Green Bay and I

1470
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: was like, I'm doing an arena and they're like yeah,

1471
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,080
Speaker 1: and I was like, whoa. I got to really enjoy this.

1472
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: And so I every step of the way have been

1473
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 1: like I got to enjoy this. But then you know,

1474
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:37,680
Speaker 1: I take nine months off wait for the special to

1475
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: be released, and I was and I did it again.

1476
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: Am I cool with not being relevant? Am I cool

1477
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:49,479
Speaker 1: with not being the thing, the shiny object and maybe

1478
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: going back to clubs or going back to theaters. I

1479
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: remember I texted my manager to day, I go, hey, guys,

1480
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't need to do arenas anymore. I can do

1481
01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 1: I love theaters. So Kevin Hart did a theater. I go,

1482
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: there's no shame. I've been doing a theater a lot

1483
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: of them. You can see a lot of me make

1484
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: more money than an arena. And then a special came

1485
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 1: out and I was like, it was just like a relief.

1486
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, I can breathe. I

1487
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: can breathe that. Oh my god, that is like and uh.

1488
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: And then we're on a call today and they're like, yo,

1489
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: you know, doing arenas again in the fall starting September.

1490
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: And I told him, I said, And I said to them,

1491
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: I said, you know, hey, when we book out twenty

1492
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 1: twenty six, I don't have to do arena tours like

1493
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 1: I don't have to be holding on to something. I'm

1494
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: cool with doing some clubs and doing some some theaters

1495
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 1: and doing some outdoor venues. I'd like to do the

1496
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 1: Gorge again, but like I go, let's shake it up,

1497
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: you know. And they were all like really, I was like, yeah,

1498
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't care like it's but that

1499
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 1: it's I've watched it go away for people. It sucks.

01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a good yea, it is a good name.

1508
01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 2: I love what you're saying though that I was. I

1509
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 2: was driving to one of my clients homes the other

1510
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 2: day and this is someone I grew up watching, huge

1511
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 2: fan of someone that I coach and work with, and

1512
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 2: I was driving to his house and I walked in

1513
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 2: and you know, it's like it's like a mile drive

1514
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 2: from the gate to even get to the house. And

1515
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 2: I was just like, I have to live in the

1516
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 2: moment that I cannot believe. And now I've been I've

1517
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 2: been working with him for seven years, so I've driven

1518
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 2: to this house like every day for years. But I

1519
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 2: was like, it loses its value when I stop being

1520
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 2: grateful for it. As soon as it becomes familiar, like

1521
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 2: what you're saying. I love what you just said. I love, love,

1522
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 2: love what you just said. Because as soon as greatness

1523
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 2: becomes familiar and excellence becomes familiar and all of this

1524
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 2: stuff becomes familiar, you lose its value. And then when

1525
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 2: you lose it, you don't you never got to experience it.

1526
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 2: So you realize you never had it in the first

1527
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:06,960
Speaker 2: place because you were just running after it like you

1528
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 2: were chasing the whole time. Oh, you never held it.

1529
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 2: And what you just said is you held it for

1530
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 2: that moment.

1531
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: I still hold it.

1532
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you still.

1533
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 1: I just signed up when I did the Machine. I'm

1534
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: my producer kle Boider. He's he's one of the greatest guys,

1535
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: like guys happens to be a great movie producer. And

1536
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,799
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna not drink

1537
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 1: and not I'm gonna be clean, I'm gonna work out,

1538
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: i'm gonna eat clean, I'm gonna look good, and he

1539
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: just kind of looked at me and was like, ya, hey, man,

1540
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: that's that's not who I hired. He's like, look, if

1541
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: I know who you are, Like, if you're not having fun,

1542
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: you're not gonna it's gonna show up on screen. But

1543
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: if you're having fun, it'll show up on screen, like

1544
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: if you were having fun, And he goes, I can't

1545
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 1: tell you the movie's gonna be a hit. I can't

1546
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: tell if it's gonna be a flop. You never know.

1547
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: But what I can tell you is you're probably only

1548
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 1: gonna get to make one movie, So enjoy this process.

1549
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,559
Speaker 1: Have fun. And man, I had so much fun making

1550
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: the Machine. It was the experience of a life time

1551
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 1: because every day I was like, I will never make

1552
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 1: another movie. I will never have another movie where I

1553
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: don't have to memorize lines because I say whatever I

1554
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: want to say, Like it was like the greatest life

1555
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: experience of my life. But yeah, that's how I look

1556
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: at every project. This is the probably last one I'll do.

1557
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 1: You know. I thought, I know I have one more

1558
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,960
Speaker 1: special with Netflix, like I owe them one, and I go,

1559
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: that might be my last one.

1560
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: That only makes it better.

1561
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 1: That so the cool thing about a special and you

1562
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: don't get to experience this, And I don't think some

1563
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,439
Speaker 1: comics think about this, but I think about this. So

1564
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:35,800
Speaker 1: I take this material that I create about eighteen twenty

1565
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: four months out and I take this and I work

1566
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: it and I play with it, and at a certain

1567
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 1: point I get bored of it and I reinvent it

1568
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: and I come back to it. But I play with

1569
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,879
Speaker 1: this for two years. I work on this same stuff,

1570
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 1: and when I do my last taping, I did six shows,

1571
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: and on my last taping, I was present and I said,

1572
01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: this is the last time I'll say these words. Oh,

1573
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: it's like it's like I give them the universe there.

1574
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: I'll never get him again. And I get so emotional

1575
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 1: saying that. But you know, you're so your material is

1576
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: who you are, and I can and I go, this

1577
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: is the last time I'll say this word, this wording

1578
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: and this cadence, and it's just so. It's with the band.

1579
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 1: You never do that. And then sometimes you tell a

1580
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:20,720
Speaker 1: story like a machine and you've been telling it now

1581
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: for fifteen years, and I'll still tell it. I'll still

1582
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 1: tell it. Listen. I was that story. He changed my

1583
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 1: I sat listen. I sat in the Rymen Theater. There's

1584
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: a woman named Angela Johnson, brilliant comic. She's got a

1585
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:34,519
Speaker 1: great nail salon bit. I was with Arspear and Nate Bargatzi.

1586
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 1: None of us were working very well, none of us

1587
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 1: were making money. She had sold out the rhymen and

1588
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,439
Speaker 1: they were chanting for this nail salan bit. And I

1589
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 1: said to the Lord, I said, Lord, give me one

1590
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: bit that people give a shit about. I'll tell it

1591
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,799
Speaker 1: until the day I die. And he was definitely listening.

1592
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: He's like, I got you. I'll one up and I'll

1593
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:56,240
Speaker 1: make it a twelve minute bit. You're gonna make a

1594
01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 1: movie out of this bit. I'll tell I got you,

1595
01:10:58,800 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 1: And that's my nail salon bit.

1596
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 2: You've always been so open about mental health when I'm

1597
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:06,639
Speaker 2: talking about anxiety, and you know, that's a big priority

1598
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 2: for us here as well, because I find that so

1599
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 2: many people in their journey never get to share that.

1600
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 2: People don't get to see that within people. You've talked

1601
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,800
Speaker 2: about anxiety, intrusive thoughts like why were you comfortable enough

1602
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 2: to open up about that without thinking people are gonna

1603
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 2: pick it that look at that weird your peers kind

1604
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 2: of where where did that get you to get that

1605
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 2: courage and confidence?

1606
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: I think it was stupidity. I think I mean, I

1607
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 1: just was like, you know, when I got into the business,

1608
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 1: I was like one hundred percent transparency. I was watching

1609
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: comics as a character, and I was like, that doesn't

1610
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 1: seem fun. So you're gonna pick a character and then

1611
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 1: you stay a character your whole life. I was like,

1612
01:11:41,200 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be Burt, and I'm just gonna be Burt

1613
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: and anything I think I say, and I'm gonna live

1614
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 1: by this sword, die by the sword. This is my thing.

1615
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: And when anxiety came up, I just was like, yo,

1616
01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: it's I have anxiety. Like I have anxiety, have really

1617
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: bad anxiety. I have OCD, I have intrusive thought I

1618
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: have I have struggled with all. I don't know. I

1619
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: don't think I have depression only because I just I can't.

1620
01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: I can't, I can't. I think people that had real,

1621
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 1: real depression. I think it's insulting for me to think

1622
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 1: the thing I go through is depression. I know what

1623
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 1: it's like to have anxiety. I had an anxiety attack

1624
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: driving in college and I didn't know what it was.

1625
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 1: I thought I had a brain tumor. And then the

1626
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: first time I was explaining it to someone then and

1627
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: this is I mean, this is probably twenty seven years old.

1628
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 1: Twenty eight years old. I was explaining it to someone

1629
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: and they were like, oh, you get anxiety attacks. I

1630
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 1: went to a therapist and she said, I have a

1631
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 1: fear of flying. I don't know if you've noticed, but

1632
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,640
Speaker 1: I have a fear of flying ritual as I do

1633
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:41,759
Speaker 1: when I fly. She said, well, yeah, you have anxiety.

1634
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: I'll let me give you Xanax. Then I took Xanax

1635
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, is this what

1636
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 1: regular people feel like? I was like, are you kidding me?

1637
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 1: And then I developed a problem with annex as many

1638
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 1: people with anxiety do. And my wife, right when we

1639
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 1: had Georgia, she said, yo, you're done taking xanax like

1640
01:12:57,880 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 1: I had taken it. I've been using it, you know,

1641
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: and off for like a year. And she may be

1642
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: a little more in george In lands like, you're done

1643
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: with x annex. It's you can have one if you

1644
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: need one, but it can't be your go to every night.

1645
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: It can't be the way you put yourself to sleep.

1646
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:13,720
Speaker 1: And then when I said we started doing podcasts, I

1647
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 1: just was like, I don't know. I was like, I

1648
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 1: just be open and honest, you know, I have ruminating

1649
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: thoughts where I just chew a thought over and over again.

1650
01:13:22,120 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 2: What's been the most recent time this morning?

1651
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: You want me to the one this morning. I'm a

1652
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: great great comic. Nick Fune was telling me about when

1653
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: he quit drinking, and he said he was having a

1654
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: liver failure and his back was hurting. And this morning

1655
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: I woke up on my side and my back hurt.

1656
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: And I went, that does it. You've party too much.

1657
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 1: Your liver's failing. Your liver's failing. And I started going

1658
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: through thoughts. I could not stop. And I have a

1659
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 1: saying when I go, when I start having anxiety or OCD,

1660
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 1: I go, be like a shark, get out of bed

1661
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: and start moving. Second you start moving, things start helping.

1662
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: And I go, get in the gym, getting the saana.

1663
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: Let's get in the sauna. Let's getting the saw. Let's

1664
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: sweats some stuff out. It's just back pain. You trust me,

1665
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 1: you would have other symptoms and I but I can't

1666
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 1: connect with it, and it just it goes on and

1667
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:10,400
Speaker 1: on and on, and I just obsess about it and

1668
01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 1: then and I bring it up to almost everyone. I've

1669
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: brought it up to everyone I've seen today and then

1670
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: I go, no booze, no booze anymore. I'm done for

1671
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 1: a month. I'm gonna cut off for a month. That

1672
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: does it. And then I come up here and I

1673
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: see your house, I go, all right, bottle of champagne,

1674
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: what's it gonna hurt? Right? But I have a saying

1675
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: with life, whether you're dealing with anxiety, O C D, eating, uh, drinking, masturbate, whatever,

1676
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: you're a little thing is my saying is, and it

1677
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: kind of calms me down. Let's do today just a

1678
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: little better than we did yesterday. That's all. We gotta do,

1679
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,640
Speaker 1: just a baby step a little better than yesterday. And

1680
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 1: if we have a bad day today, realize tomorrow we're

1681
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna have We're gonna do better. We have an opportunity

1682
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: to do better tomorrow. And so I've been stuck in

1683
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,800
Speaker 1: that mindset today and I said, let's just get let's

1684
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,599
Speaker 1: do a little bit better today than we did yesterday.

1685
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 1: And so that's where my head's at. But yeah, they've

1686
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: got I've had, really And you know, my daughters have anxiety,

1687
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: and Leanne doesn't. They have sleep anxiety. They both had

1688
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: sleep anxiety when they were young. So Georgia would uh

1689
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:19,879
Speaker 1: wake up and think she was dying. And I remember

1690
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: I was so glad I had anxiety thenks I could

1691
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: help her. Leanne's like, just go count sheep. I go, uh,

1692
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 1: let's not count. We're not counting. And that's the worst

1693
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 1: way to deal with this, just because if you it's

1694
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 1: shutting your brain off is the thing you need to do.

1695
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: And if your brain's just going after it, you're you're screwed. Yeah,

1696
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: and so uh, but Leanne's also gangster. She got both

1697
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 1: of them into therapy immediately.

1698
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

1699
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:45,640
Speaker 1: And this therapist helped them immensely. But now Georgia and

1700
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:49,080
Speaker 1: I can text about anxiety and talk about it and

1701
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: and you know what's the best thing about it is

1702
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: when you know other people have it, is you're like, oh,

1703
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: so I'm not broken, I'm not crazy. Yeah, And that's

1704
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:01,760
Speaker 1: the greatest feeling. And it's you know, my don't look

1705
01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 1: at my family's seen me. When I get ready for

1706
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 1: a flight, it's like I get physically ill. I start

1707
01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: feeling my head getting tight. I feel this and they're like, hey,

1708
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: you just have an anxiety. And then to recognize it.

1709
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes it doesn't help one hundred percent, but you can

1710
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,639
Speaker 1: breathe that's one another one thing I always say, like, wait,

1711
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm breathing. I'm still breathing, and I just take deep

1712
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:24,120
Speaker 1: breaths and I'm still breathing. Crazy anxiety scuba diving.

1713
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean definitely trying to breathe and scuba

1714
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 2: diving is odd enough.

1715
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 1: I mean probably one of the biggest panic attacks I

1716
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: ever had. We're scuba diving in a thunderstorm in Fiji

1717
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: at ninety eight and we're in a tin boat and

1718
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I get in the water and we

1719
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: start sinking and I realize very quick nothing I like

1720
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:47,360
Speaker 1: is down at the bottom of this ocean. And I

1721
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: start kicking up to the top and my dive instructor

1722
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: just grabs me, grabs my BC, grabs my thing, puts

1723
01:16:54,760 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 1: in my mouth, like just holds it there and just

1724
01:16:56,479 --> 01:17:01,439
Speaker 1: going like this. And I sunk with this Fijian woman

1725
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 1: who looked like Junior Sayou. She was a big woman,

1726
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: and she took me to the bottom of the ocean,

1727
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:10,720
Speaker 1: and I was like and then, but you know, I

1728
01:17:10,800 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 1: got through it. You get through it. Yeah, you always

1729
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 1: get through it. No one dies from anxiety.

1730
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 2: You've developed enough coping mechanisms.

1731
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have, and I don't know

1732
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,559
Speaker 1: if they're healthy. I know alcohol has been a big

1733
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 1: coping mechanism of mine. Yeah. When I the first time

1734
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 1: I learned I could sleep without drinking, like you know,

1735
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: because you do it from twenty two to like, you know, thirty,

1736
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:32,400
Speaker 1: and then one day you're like, I gotta try to

1737
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:34,200
Speaker 1: go to sleep without a cocktail or out a goss

1738
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 1: of wine. First time I did that, I was like, whoa,

1739
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,160
Speaker 1: I can fall asleep. Shut up. Oh my god, I've

1740
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: got enough tools to shut my brain off.

1741
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that relationship feels healthier now with alcohol.

1742
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, look must be real. Alcohol's poison.

1743
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: Everyone knows that it's not good you shouldn't do it.

1744
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 1: But I'm also not a Mormon. I like to have

1745
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: a good time. I like to get loose. It's for alcohol.

1746
01:17:57,200 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: For me. It's not even the buzz. I gotta be

1747
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,520
Speaker 1: honest with you. It's the letting loose. It's the celebration.

1748
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,519
Speaker 1: It's the hey, do you want to do a shot?

1749
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,640
Speaker 1: And you go, oh, I definitely want to do it,

1750
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: like like the it's the permission to party like it

1751
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: literally is. I mean, I name that tour, this because

1752
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: when someone's like, hey, man, when someone likes a joint,

1753
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: you're like, you want that? That's that's like, go let's

1754
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:21,559
Speaker 1: do it, let's get after it. I love when people

1755
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: crack open a bottle of wine, crack open a drink

1756
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 1: and go, hey, you want one. It's It's the funnest

1757
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: thing in the world. When when flight attendants say to me,

1758
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: can I get you something to drink? I love that

1759
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 1: because they don't always say that, but when they do,

1760
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: I go, here's gonna be a good fight. I always

1761
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: I said, I have a speech that i've I've people

1762
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,839
Speaker 1: get passed around. But it is like a first kiss.

1763
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: When we got married, Leanne goes, I says, it bum

1764
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 1: you out, You'll never have sex with anyone. She goes, no,

1765
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 1: absolutely not. I said me either. I said, I think

1766
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 1: I'm good just having sex with you. She goes. What

1767
01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 1: really bums me out is I'll never get a first kiss.

1768
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:56,519
Speaker 1: I know for us, that's the worst because we got

1769
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 1: to do the kiss, all the anxieties on us, We

1770
01:18:58,400 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: got to wait the whole night. Does you want to

1771
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:01,280
Speaker 1: kiss me? Is she gonna gets me? Should I take her?

1772
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:02,479
Speaker 1: Should I do it in the car? Should do it?

1773
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 1: When we walk to the car. When should I do it? Oh? No,

1774
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: that was the wrong time. That was wrong time for

1775
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:10,560
Speaker 1: a woman. It's just this excitement of like, when's it

1776
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:12,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen? Is he doing it?

1777
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 2: Now?

1778
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 1: When's it is it? When's my present show up? And

1779
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: that's how I feel about shots.

1780
01:19:18,600 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 2: Well, what's the whoop telling you? I see you're at

1781
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 2: the whoop onne.

1782
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 1: So I'm crazy, I'm crazy, neurotic. Okay, so I check.

1783
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: I check all of it. My favorite day in the

1784
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: year is what December thirtieth when they post our scores.

1785
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:38,479
Speaker 1: I love whoop and uh. I have found that if

1786
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: I am overly hydrated, my heart rate is lower. So

1787
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,680
Speaker 1: every night before I go to bread, I drink for

1788
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 1: liquid dests, nineteen ounce liquid dests. I drink four of them.

1789
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: I peel the middle the night, but I drink four

1790
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 1: of them. My heart rates around fifty six beats per

1791
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 1: minute when I and that's after having you know, bottle

1792
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: of wine or some porosos and so I'm wildly hydrated.

1793
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 1: And that is my key for my whoop. Also, you know,

1794
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:03,200
Speaker 1: for me, it also tells you how hard to work out.

1795
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: I love that. I love a goal because you know

1796
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 1: when we did the first show of October, we were

1797
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: Charles all trying to set goals of how hard we

1798
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: can work out, and that when you see the top

1799
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: of the mountain, you know where you have to go,

1800
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: and so you go, all right, I'm not done. I'm

1801
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:19,400
Speaker 1: getting back on the treadmill. I'm gonna get on the

1802
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: assault bike. Okay, here, we're going to do the ski

1803
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:23,760

1838
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,320

1840
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 2: end every episode with a final five. These questions have

1841
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,799
Speaker 2: to be answered in one word to one sentence maximum. Okay,

1842
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 2: but I may ask you to elaborate, because I think

1843
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 2: you're going to give you some more. Some answers so questionable.

1844
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 2: One is, what is the best advice you've ever heard

1845
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 2: or received.

1846
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 1: Don't take anyone's advice. That's the best advice. But sometimes

1847
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 1: everyone's advice is so built up with their bullshit. I

1848
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 1: remember posting a dance video and everyone's like, why would

1849
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 1: you do that? It sold out my torn seconds. I'm

1850
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 1: so glad I didn't listen to anybody. Don't take a

1851
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:27,679
Speaker 1: good show, don't take anyone's advice.

1852
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 2: I love that. I fully agree the amount of publishers

1853
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 2: that told me not to call my book Think like

1854
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,080
Speaker 2: a Monk. That was my first book, and they were like,

1855
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:36,680
Speaker 2: don't call it that. No one wants to Think like

1856
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 2: a Monk.

1857
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: They're telling they're giving you advice based on their failures.

1858
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:43,400
Speaker 2: Totally, and you're not them totally. And then data, which

1859
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 2: is which is already in the past.

1860
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, right. Having said that, Joe Rogan gave me the

1861
01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:50,040
Speaker 1: best advice ever. And he just said he just said

1862
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:51,759
Speaker 1: to me, just you know, a little high, little drunk

1863
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:53,280
Speaker 1: in the back of the store. He's like, you need

1864
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 1: a Netflix special. And I was like, yeah, he's like, no,

1865
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: you need one. I was like, do you don't know how

1866
01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,160
Speaker 1: to get that? Joe? And he goes, be undeniable and

1867
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: he just walked away. I was like, the fuck does

1868
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: that mean? I wrote in my joke book and I

1869
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 1: just tried to figure it out. And then what you

1870
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,839
Speaker 1: are undeniable? You're like, h that was great advice.

1871
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: I love that question. On the two, what is the

1872
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 2: worst advice you've ever heard or received?

1873
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 1: Worst advice I ever got was you should start wearing

1874
01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:22,720
Speaker 1: a shirt. If I had more of shit told you that.

1875
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: I will say her name, but some of the work

1876
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: that showtime. She said, hey, you should wear a shirt

1877
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: for this. Trust me, no one does it without a

1878
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: shirt for a reason. You should wear a shirt. And

1879
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: I was and I almost did. And then she said

1880
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: how about this. You do one with a shirt, one

1881
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: without a shirt, okay? And I said, well then we

1882
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:40,360
Speaker 1: can't cut them between them. She goes, yeah, we'll use

1883
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,360
Speaker 1: one with a shirt. Do not do it without a shirt.

1884
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know. I can't remember

1885
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: thinking I'm a little different, like I want to do

1886
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: it my way, like I know that, And then a

1887
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 1: lot of people were like, why would you not wear

1888
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: a shirt, my dad, Why would you, buddy put on

1889
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: a Brooks Brother's coat a tie look sharp? And I

1890
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 1: was like, no, I'm going to do it shirtless. And

1891
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 1: thank god. I mean, like, I think that's been my

1892
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean that's how some people times. People just go, oh,

1893
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 1: I didn't recognize you with a shirt on. That's so good.

1894
01:24:07,120 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 2: I you know what, when you came in today and

1895
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,200
Speaker 2: I buzzed you in and I saw you without your show,

1896
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 2: and I was like, he's gonna do it without shot.

1921
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 2: similar about the way you parent your kids and the

1922

1924
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:24,919
Speaker 1: kids the exact way my dad parented me. What's different

1925
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 1: is my kids are smarter than I was. And they

1926
01:25:27,560 --> 01:25:30,559
Speaker 1: told me I was doing it wrong. A dude. I

1927
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: was a raise your voice, raise your voice kind of dad.

1928
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,439
Speaker 1: Girls didn't. I remember the biggest fight we ever gotten

1929
01:25:38,479 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: with girls. They took the collars. They like when our

1930
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: dogs are naked and we have bull masters Like, oh, girls, second,

1931
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 1: you take the colors off. I can't control that dog.

1932
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: And they let both the dogs out and they chased

1933
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 1: a woman and I couldn't get them say that the

1934
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 1: collars and I came in and I started yelling at

1935
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 1: my girls, and Georgia goes, just so you know, when

1936
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 1: you get to hear, we know there's nowhere else you're going.

1937
01:25:57,640 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: And I was like what. She goes, the threat's over.

1938
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 1: This is as bad as a guess. And I was like, well,

1939
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:04,799
Speaker 1: she goes, you're not gonna hit us, so it's not working,

1940
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:07,720
Speaker 1: all right? And I was like, oh shit, and I realized, oh,

1941
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: it's not working. You can't just go like that, does it?

1942
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm not because this is as bad as it gets.

1943
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 1: I go, Okay, where does it go from here? And

1944
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: then Georgia took the car with her friends and you're

1945
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,160
Speaker 1: not allowed to do that, and she was like, here

01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:46,000

01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 1: And she started sobbing, crying, and she was like, she goes,

1958
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 1: I think you're you're turning into like a really great dad.

1959
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 1: And I was like really, and she goes, you understand me,

1974
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 2: I love that question Number four. You're such an open book.

1975
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,080
Speaker 2: What's something people don't know about you that they'd be

1976
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 2: surprised to hear?

1977
01:27:51,280 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 1: I think if people heard my inner dialogue sometimes interesting,

1978
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: I think they'd I think people would be bummed out

1979
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,720
Speaker 1: for me. Oh interesting, You know how you say like

1980
01:28:01,840 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: you say, like the things sometimes you say to yourself.

1981
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: You go, I forget their quote, but it's like, you know,

1982
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 1: what would what would you say if someone was saying

1983
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,800
Speaker 1: that about your daughter? Yeah, and you go, what, I

1984
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:15,559
Speaker 1: beat that person up? And then why would you let

1985
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,000
Speaker 1: them do it to you? Sometimes my inner dialogue is

1986
01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,599
Speaker 1: it can be really punitive, and I think I think

1987
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 1: if people heard it, they would it would break their

1988
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 1: heart a little bit. And I that's the one thing

1989
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: I tried better to change about myself is my inner

1990
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 1: dialogue to be more positive about myself. But at the

1991
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: same time, that punitiveness is the thing that drives me

1992
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: a little bit, where I go, don't let them if

1993
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 1: they think that about you, You change, you do better,

1994
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 1: You get that does it. Let's get in the gym,

1995
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: let's write, let's read that script, Let's let's do that movie.

1996
01:28:45,040 --> 01:28:47,360
Speaker 1: Let's challenge ourselves to do that. Let's go back on door,

1997
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 1: let's take time off. Like I think that inner dialogue,

1998
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,599
Speaker 1: as unhealthy as it may be, I bet if most

1999
01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 1: people heard that inner dialogue, they'd give me a hug

2000
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:56,679
Speaker 1: and go I do the same shit.

2001
01:28:56,840 --> 01:29:00,160
Speaker 2: Mm yeah, definitely, Yeah, I think we will do. I

2002
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 2: do it. We all do it.

2003
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:03,599
Speaker 1: You just look in the mirror and then you should

2004
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 1: be happy. Look at these crystal blue electric eyes.

2005
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,200
Speaker 2: Oh, I think there's so many. I think you're spot

2006
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,519
Speaker 2: there's so many. And by the way, it is that

2007
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 2: you're somewhat trained to be driven and you know that

2008
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 2: that level of setting that standard high is what lets

2009
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 2: you rise and keep going. Otherwise we would have sat

2010
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 2: every ten minutes and walked off right like what, there's

2011
01:29:27,240 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 2: no need. So there's that, and then there's the compassion.

2012
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:32,759
Speaker 2: And that's why I've seen the best performers in the world.

2013
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,360
Speaker 2: They have high standards, but then they have high grace.

2014
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:37,720
Speaker 2: And it's like if you have one or the other,

2015
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:39,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't work. If you have high standards and you

2016
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:43,120
Speaker 2: have low grace, you can't actually keep to those high standards.

2017
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:46,559
Speaker 2: And if you have low standards and high grace, well

2018
01:29:46,600 --> 01:29:47,719
Speaker 2: then you'll never get anywhere.

2019
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm always blown away by guys with crazy confidence, and

2020
01:29:50,720 --> 01:29:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, is that real? Like I go like, like

2021
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:57,120
Speaker 1: people just talk wild shit. I'm like, I'm like, yo,

2022
01:29:57,200 --> 01:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm actually a good comic. I'm better than like, I'm

2023
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,719
Speaker 1: like legitimate, Like you believe that about yourself. I'm always

2024
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 1: blown away by that.

2025
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you have to, Yeah, you have to. There

2026
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:10,000
Speaker 2: was this great Federer gave this Roger feder of the

2027
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:13,760
Speaker 2: tennis Player gave this amazing commencement speech last year, and

2028
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 2: he was saying that he's only won something like sixty

2029
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:19,240
Speaker 2: percent of his points in his lifetime, and he was saying,

2030
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:21,200
Speaker 2: the best thing I have to do is lose a

2031
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:24,160
Speaker 2: point and then forget about that point. That could got

2032
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:25,560
Speaker 2: to move on because others we're going to lose the

2033
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,599
Speaker 2: next points, the next point if I keep thinking about

2034
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:29,439
Speaker 2: that last loss. But because I've lost a ton of

2035
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:31,320
Speaker 2: points in my life, he goes, My skill is not

2036
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 2: to not lose points. My skill is to be able

2037
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 2: to leave that point that I lost in the background

2038
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:38,599
Speaker 2: to go win the next point. And I feel like that,

2039
01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 2: that's that compassion, that's that grace of like move on

2040

Speaker 1: So it's crazy. I think that's uh, yeah, I don't

2072
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 1: never want a joke to hurt someone. Yeah, I remember

2073
01:31:57,240 --> 01:32:00,679
Speaker 1: I told a joke one time about a black women.

2074
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:03,320
Speaker 1: It was a good joke. I would have stood by

2075
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:06,040
Speaker 1: it had a fan not come up to me as

2076
01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 1: a black woman. She was really pretty and she said, hey, man,

2077
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: I I'm a fan, and I was like cool. She goes,

2078
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 1: I just want you to know that that joke kind

2079
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 1: of hurt a little bit. And she goes, and I

2080
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:22,680
Speaker 1: know that wasn't your intention, but it didn't make me

2081
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 1: feel like I was still part of the team. I

2082
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: felt like I was now an outsider. And I went ooh,

2083
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:29,960
Speaker 1: she goes, yeah, I know, she goes, I didn't. I

2084
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 1: wasn't thinking about being black until you said that. And

2085
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: then when you said it, I realized. I was like,

2086
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:37,639
Speaker 1: I'm the only black woman in there, and I went, oh,

2087
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 1: that's not my intention. She goes, I know that's why

2088
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Wow. That was like yeah, And I remember,

2089
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:45,320
Speaker 1: But you don't realize that when you do call me,

2090
01:32:45,320 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 1: you're just trying to get last right. And the one

2091
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:48,880
Speaker 1: time I didn't believe it, I was blind and he

2092
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:52,000
Speaker 1: was blind. I really regret that I didn't. Tommy told

2093
01:32:52,040 --> 01:32:55,120
Speaker 1: me he wasn't blind. He was lying and I tested

2094
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 1: him and then he got up and he was really

2095
01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 1: blind and I was like, wow, he's really blind. And

2096
01:32:59,840 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 1: then he got blind two days ago and I was like,

2097
01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 1: oh god, so he wasn't it was, yeah, that was I. Hey,

2098
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 1: I can we could do a podcast on regrets. I've

2099
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:11,479
Speaker 1: been doing this twenty five years. I regret a lot.

2100
01:33:11,520 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 2: Oh god, what about what about when you said your door?

2101

Speaker 1: here we go.

2122
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:08,080
Speaker 2: Final question. We asked this to every guest who's ever

2123
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:10,760
Speaker 2: been on the show. If you could create one law

2124
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 2: that everyone in the world had to follow, what would

2125
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:13,479
Speaker 2: it be.

2126
01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: The law I would make, Like I really dig like

2127
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:24,720
Speaker 1: Siesta in Spain, but not everyone's a napper. But I

2128
01:34:24,840 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 1: like that concept that there's like I would do, like

2129
01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:32,280
Speaker 1: I would do state mandated happy hours, Like state mandated

2130
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:35,439
Speaker 1: happy hours. We're like, we're like you had at five

2132
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: You had to go to everyone have quarter pointed bars,

2133
01:34:40,479 --> 01:34:42,200
Speaker 1: and you had to go to these bars and you

2134
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:43,840
Speaker 1: don't have to drink, but you got to spend time

2135
01:34:43,840 --> 01:34:45,680
Speaker 1: and talk to people in the community. Like you've got

2136
01:34:45,720 --> 01:34:47,680
Speaker 1: to go there and people can drink, and it's only

2137
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 1: an hour. It's one hour, but everyone goes you and

2138
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 1: everyone has to go and be social and just be

2139
01:34:52,680 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 1: connected to That's where I think so cool about London.
