WEBVTT - Adam Carolla: The Cold Plunge, Intermittent Fasting + Organized Intimacy 0:00:01.360 --> 0:00:04.720 Really now, really. 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:14.120 Really now, really, Hello everybody, Welcome back to another exciting rendition. 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:16.960 Excit whom channeling? 0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:20.400 I'm channeling somebody who is through the Snagglepuss. It's kind 0:00:20.400 --> 0:00:23.439 of snaggle snaggle pus. I never know whom said, my 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:24.680 name is Jason Alexander. 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:25.439 What's your name? 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.760 And we had the co hosts of Really No Really, 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.600 the podcast where we explore things that make us say 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.000 really no really. So I'm going to start off with 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:36.960 a little story. Years ago, I was in a movie 0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.680 called Love Valor Compassion, and the end of that movie 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.840 is myself and six wonderful actors go in skinny dipping 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:48.080 in a lake in a quarry. We shot this film 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.000 in boharn Wah, which is about twenty miles north of Montreal. 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:52.920 In the middle of the summer. 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.040 But we went into that lake at one o'clock in 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.960 the morning, and I don't know what temperature it was. 0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.320 I can only tell you it instantly took our breath away. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:03.800 None of us could take a deep breath. 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:05.800 And we're supposed to look like we're folliging and having 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.440 the best time. We There was a ten minute magazine 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.280 of film on the cameras. So for ten straight minutes, 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.720 we're in this water, no dialogue, having a delicious good 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:20.959 time and chilled and pained to the bone. We come out, 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.360 we are miserable, We are shaking, you can feel it 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.040 in your bones. And they go take two and we 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.640 have to go back in and all I can tell you, 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.520 on top of everything else, none of us had a 0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:34.680 genital of any. 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:37.600 Female or anything in between. 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.360 Sherlock Holmes looking with the spy glass, going there's nothing 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.240 so to me, the idea of going. 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:49.360 Into cold cold voluntarily, right is anathema. So we had 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:52.120 both on Adam's show, which Adam Kroller Show, which is 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.520 which is great. I love at him. It seems to 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.640 be a popular show some yeah, I think. And he 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:59.960 had just mentioned as we were talking about the Cold 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.160 Plunge that he gets up and gets into cold water. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.760 And I wanted to know more about the cold Plunge. 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.960 Was it a tech thing? Like is it? These tech 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.600 guys came up with a silicon valley? And Adam's the 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.440 kind of guy who I'm always fascinated with because he 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.360 does stuff I do nothing I like. Homi collects care cars, 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.360 he does TV shows, he writes movies. He's very happy. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.880 He was the father of the broadcasting industry. You know, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.320 he was in it just about before anyone in Buck 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:25.720 of breactice. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.760 Yeah, I think still. So we want to get at 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.399 him on because I wanted to find his stake, because 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.560 I knew he probably had an unusual take about why 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.800 he decided to do the ice plunge. I have a 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.600 feeling that has to do with mental health. You think 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.800 with Adham, I wouldn't guess that necessarily. I've met Adam. Well, 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.799 let's see he's there. He looks very good today. You 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.520 look really handsome today. The heather in the heather hoodie. 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:51.799 It's a very powerful man. Look at you. Thank you. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.840 Thanks for having me. So you don't strike me as 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.120 miss Greg a lefty, which I also like. 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.240 I'm a lefty as well, my friend. But we shouldn't 0:02:59.240 --> 0:02:59.919 make too big a deal. 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.280 No, we're going to die. Wow we die? Wow? Yeah? Wow. 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.040 So in this very studio and we're in Howie's studio, 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.560 should we brokass him? Adam was on and I also 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.160 then saw him say, doesn't use the odorant, doesn't take 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:17.760 a shower, that the fool is enough cleans everything. So 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:19.960 you had a unique take on that. Why did you 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.120 start doing what? What clicked with you to say I'm 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.160 going to do this ice punch I'm going to try Well, 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.000 I I heard enough people it's probably been about six 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:31.160 seven years now. I heard enough people talking about it, 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.920 saying it was good for you. And then I sort 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.480 of followed down the path of everything you don't want 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.320 to do is good for you. You know, eating eating 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:46.280 broccolini instead of fudge is good for you. Working out 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.240 versus watching TV's good for you. Hugging people and telling 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.360 you you love them, very painful, but good, you know. 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.680 And so there's I sort of subscribe to the sort 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:02.760 of nature. You know, when you're sweating, when it's hurting, 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.160 when you don't think you can do another rep, you 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.480 do another rep. And that's what's good for you. 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.400 And so if getting into a frozen swimming pool every 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.640 morning is miserable, it must be good for you. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.080 So wait, is the theory in order to do extreme 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.120 things in life, you got to force yourself to do 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:20.760 extreme things. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:27.400 Yeah, I feel there's a physiological benefit other people could 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.320 tell you about. I'm not really interested in the physiological 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.520 benefit of it. That is a happy byproduct of it. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:41.520 I'm more focused on you starting every day by doing 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.599 something you don't want to do and sort of setting 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:46.320 the table for the rest of the day. 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:47.160 Well, I do that. 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.360 I don't want to get out of a mish man, 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:54.160 but I'm not. You seem to do you really? I'm serious? 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:54.360 Now? 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:59.279 Do you gravitate towards things that are challenging or uncomfortable 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:00.000 for you? 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.239 Do you like that sort of perule you do? Yes? Yes? 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.719 I you know people you know, they always go, what 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.080 made you want to do Dancing with the Stars? I go, 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.880 Nothing made me want to do Dancing with the Stars. 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.320 I didn't request to be on Dancing with the Stars. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.359 I would have been happy to never been on Dancing 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.279 with the Stars. But they asked me, and it scared me. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.640 And once I realized I was scared, which I definitely was, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.599 then I realized, now I need to do it, because 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.200 otherwise I'm just sort of running away from this thing 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:33.679 that I'm not good at, which is dancing. 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.480 So have you done have all? Right? 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.359 So I'm I don't think I could skydive. I have 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.080 a fear of ice. Have you done stuff like that? I? 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.719 I haven't done a lot of you know, things that 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.560 would have you would, you know, constitute a sort of 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:52.520 extreme sports. But if you invited me to go skydiving, 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.320 I would say yes, I would job just on the 0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:00.400 off chance I would run into Tom Cruise, we could 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:01.600 strike up a conversation. 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.960 Well, strap yourself telling me to go together and tan them. 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.360 Because so if you. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.719 Saw I'm talking mid air, I'm not even talking about 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.560 the plane ride. God, I'm talking. There's a fifty to 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.600 fifty chance he will be next to you. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:14.240 Just look over. 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.440 He to me up there for some reason, he's there already. Yeah, 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:19.520 he's hanging out. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.800 So if you think at him, if you think back, 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.400 how many things have you done in the past that 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.720 were outside of your comfort zone that you remember? Because 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.200 I read about the dancing with the sitars thing, and 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.080 I thought to myself, there's no way if it was 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:34.839 a hostage crisis, I would get out of that. There's 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.000 no I would do it. And I gave you a 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.800 lot of credit because I knew that that was not 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.880 your Ballywick. What other stuff did you say yes to 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.000 or seek out? It was really outside your comfort zone. 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.000 That's surprised even you. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.480 Well, look, when I was younger, I entered into the 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:54.040 Golden Gloves competition to box out here in LA and 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:59.360 that scared me. I recently did the Mass singer and 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:03.520 I can't sing. I can't sing as any you know, 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:06.359 dancing and singing are the same for me, you know. 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:10.960 No, Tommy tuone, so not going to happen. But you 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:11.320 did it. 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:13.640 I'm one of nine people tell me too, and actually 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:14.880 gave me my Tony Award. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.160 So, by the way, Adam, you've been he's laughing. You've 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.680 been doing the podcast since two thousand and nine. 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.280 You really were kind of like one of the first 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.520 guys in, were you not? 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.960 There wasn't much having one of them? Yeah. Now, But 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:30.840 the interesting thing because I want you and I kind 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:32.680 of know you a bit and I've listened to you 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.120 for years. I don't think you do stuff to go? 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.120 How many downloads am I going to get on this? 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.440 Don't you don't live your life that way? I'm guessing yes. No. 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:46.760 I don't really have expectations before I enter whatever endeavor 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.480 I've gotten involved with. I just base it on do 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.440 you want to do it or do you not want 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.680 to do it? And is it what you do? And 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.800 would you do it for free? Kind of a one 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.840 of the yardsticks kind of measure should you be doing it? 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.520 Would you be doing it anyway? And if the answer 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:08.040 is yes, then I just moved forward. But the entire 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.840 field of comedy for me was always that I just 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:15.960 wanted to get off a construction site into a building 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:21.280 with a microphone and do something, and that was about it. 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:26.480 I never really thought about compensation or legacy or name recognition. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.080 I just wanted to leave this one place, go someplace else, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:32.720 and do something else. 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.920 Was that characteristic always for you were even as a kid, 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:41.120 or was it something that a sort of a change 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:41.839 of life moment. 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.560 Well, when I was a kid, I was kind. 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:48.760 Of a long for the ride because my family was 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.400 pretty broken and they didn't have any money. 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:52.880 And then when I. 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.199 Got out of high school, I didn't go to college. 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.400 I knew I had to work. I needed money, I 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.360 needed to support myself. I just sort of took whatever 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.920 job was open, and that was construction labor. 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.880 And I did that for a number of years. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.880 And once I sort of got out of survival mode, 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.559 because survival it's hard. You know, when you get pushed 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.840 off the back of a cruise ship, the only mode 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:25.360 you're in is survival mode. You're not in Oh, I'm 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.800 thinking about starting a tech company. You know, you're thinking 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:32.040 about finding land, you know what I mean? And so 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:37.240 I was in fine land mode from you know, age 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:42.200 three to age twenty three. But once at age twenty three, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.120 i'd found you know, some land. I had a job, 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.760 I drove a truck. Then once I got Survival that 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.959 part down, I started thinking, Now, what's what would thrive 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.840 mode look like? What would what would it look like 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.240 to have a life where you just didn't exist but 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:05.120 you actually did things and had experiences and met people 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.120 that were interesting. What would that life look like? And 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:11.120 that's when I embarked on the second chapter, And. 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.240 That's you went growling. You started doing improv, you started 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.320 to find and an amazing thing about your career too, 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.160 is it you were calling k Rock as a fan, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.520 as a listener. That's how you were discovered, which is 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.240 pretty insane way to go, right, what are the chances 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:27.800 that you do it? And then you trained Jimmy to box, 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.599 I mean out of nowhere, you said, I'd volunteered to 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.319 tange Jimmy to box somebody, and from that you got 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:33.720 a career. 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:39.320 Yeah, yeah, you know, I train while I was working 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.120 as a boxing trainer, so you know, wasn't completely out 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:43.840 of left field. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:48.080 But I wasn't calling in to train Jimmy Kimmel to box. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.360 I was calling in to train Jimmy or the guy 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.120 or his opponent, oh, anybody. I didn't know either one 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:58.240 of them. No, favorite doesn't know when Jimmy wasn't Jimmy, 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.440 I didn't know who he was. But had I got 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:02.120 my lover it though. 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.319 But once you got in, were you were you? Was 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:06.600 it a plan? Did you see openings and say I'm 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.240 going to do that and really went for it or 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.320 was it really luck well? 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.960 I I got in intentionally to see the radio station 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:21.160 and to physically I just physically wanted to see the 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.360 inside of the radio station and and know how it 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.600 worked to do radio because I was interested in radio. 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:28.800 And once I. 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:33.160 Met Jimmy, and Jimmy made it clear that he thought 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:36.960 I had some ability, uh and that that maybe there's 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:41.720 something I could do. Then my next mode was what 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.040 how can I convince Jimmy to let me do something 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.160 on this morning radio show Kevin and Ban. 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.480 Bengos, it was it was you were working it at 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.640 that point, and then all of a sudden and then 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.840 the Bit came about, and then Loveline and then you 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:00.240 don't talk about it much, but you're gonna were a 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.040 book of records. As far as downloads, what was the 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:08.800 amount of downloads that you got for for the. 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.400 There's a plaque on the wall somewhere here, but it's 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.600 not in front of me, so I don't know. I 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.959 just remember thinking this is a oh, I would have 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.600 a eduable record. 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:23.559 A billion down, over a billion downloads. 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:30.920 Adam, you really were one of the biggest and earliest 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.960 successes in this. Do you have any particular take on 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.199 what's happening in podcasting, where it's going, what it's become, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.640 what's good, what's been you know, it's it's become an 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:42.760 industry before. 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.720 And you were there really before it was that. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.719 You know, when I started, there was a handful of 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:52.360 podcast I heard the other day there were like five 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:59.280 point five million podcasts that were out currently. And it'll 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:07.280 probably take the same trajectory as American automotive manufacturing in 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.840 the thirties or something, which is there was no automotive manufacturing. 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:13.600 Then there was Ford. 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:19.360 Then there were a whole bunch of other independent manufacturers, 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:23.560 you know, Dusenberg and cord and white, and you know, 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.920 if you just go to Leno's warehouse and you'll see 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.920 a whole bunch of American cars you've never heard of. Right, 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.120 And then at some point it so it got saturated 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:38.040 and then it got kind of reconsolidated a little bit, 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:42.040 which is, you know, the ones that were working kind 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.160 of fluffed off and the ones that were working remained. 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.280 And so I think we're going to go through a 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.040 sort of an ebb and a flow. 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:51.880 When I when I came to Jason, and so I 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.000 had this idea for this. It's selfish because I get 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:55.600 to see him. If I didn't do this, he'd be 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.319 traveling and doing shrow business without me. So this isn't 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:00.720 distinctly show business. 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.960 But as gentlemen kisses, so anybody Jason is thinking, is 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:04.559 this his career? 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:06.600 So when I started talking about it, there were three 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.720 million podcasts at him. By the time we started working 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:13.120 a four million, and you're wrong. There are over six 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.640 million podcasts. I think while really, while I was thinking 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:17.360 about it, it went up out. If there was a 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:21.040 reel behind us, it would just be spinning around the 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.360 national debt. But the joy of getting to do this, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.040 of all the podcasts he'd done, the thousands of hours, 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.120 is there something that stands out? Is there one or 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.040 two where you go this was pretty neat for me, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:30.920 pretty amazing. 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:37.560 I had one of the surviving members of the band, 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:45.320 Leonard skinnerd walk me through in great detail the plane crash, 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:51.040 what happened, who died, how it worked, where he went, 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:57.760 you know, the entire process of that flight, that faithful flight, 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.400 the flight were half the banned, where they were sitting 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:06.600 on the plane, what essentially killed them, and it was 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:11.520 haunting and interesting. And the other one just sort of 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:18.160 on that subject is I was talking. I interviewed the 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:22.320 Sealed Team member that killed Bin Laden, and he literally 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.240 just walked me through that night the same way. You know, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.040 up the staircase, who was in front of him, what 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.000 they were yelling, who was behind him, who they encountered 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:36.320 on the second floor, the women, you know, all of it, 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.080 and it just in the in the kind of detail 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.880 that you obviously couldn't get to if you were telling 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.240 the story on a late night TV show or many 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:46.080 other forums. 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.560 You know, all the time in the world to. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:55.640 Really go through in very fine detail, granular detail of 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:57.640 that flight. 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.240 Yeah, killing Bin laden you know, and you were there. 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:04.600 Robert O'Neill, by. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:06.400 The way, is the name I'm trying to think of 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:10.520 of the Navy team leader. I feel like I felt 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.360 like I was there for both. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.640 Those those having heard that did zero Dark thirty sort 0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.560 of get it right in their depiction of it. 0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:20.880 It was zero Yeah. 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.360 Well, I think those guys always sort of say that 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.960 got some of it right. They didn't get other parts, 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:29.880 you know, right, But I think I recall him saying 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:30.760 that was pretty close. 0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:35.560 Remember, I was going to change something, you know, because 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.160 I'm thinking about all the things you do that you 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.640 do in a sort of unique and way, and I 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:43.200 want to make sure I have this right because I've 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.680 never seen you do stand up live, but I catch 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.280 a lot of you on some of the comedy channels, 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.040 on the serious XM, and it seems to me that 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.840 you are doing a spontaneous act that people will throw 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.160 a topic or a title at you and you riff. 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.160 Is that correct? That? Am I perceiving that correctly? 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.200 Part of what I do when I do stand up 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.440 is hand out ping pong balls to the audience before 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:16.560 the show. They write one word on the ping pong ball, 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.760 and then the ping pong balls are collected and put 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.680 into a bingo hopper and then we spin them around. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.159 Someone on stage does it at the end of the 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:28.400 show and pulls the ball out. Whatever the word is, 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.720 then I must do a stand up bit on the 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.119 word that's on the ping. 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:38.680 Pong How did you How did you know you could 0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:40.359 do that? How did you even come up with the 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.560 thought of wanting to try and do it? Because I 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:46.800 understand you like the things that are challenging, potentially dangerous, 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.080 and that certainly sounds like a fine example. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:53.160 But how did you know you could that you had 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.240 that skill? Because it's really good. 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:59.840 By the way, those are really really funny observations, and 0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:03.920 only funny, but they have a craft to them where 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:08.560 it's it has sort of a natural flow, like a beginning, 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:09.800 middle end to the routine. 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.200 It's it's almost. 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.439 It's almost as if it were crafted and written, but 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.720 there's it's clear that you are doing it spontaneously. 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:19.560 Well. Thanks. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:25.480 It was Jimmy Kimmel's idea, essentially, He's always just said 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:30.480 you can just talk about anything any I remember, I 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.760 remember somebody I was sitting around with Jimmy once and 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:36.520 a reporter for some reason or something. 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:38.440 And he said to this guy. 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:41.159 Adam could do am to turn anything into a comedy bit, 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:42.760 anything anything. 0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.919 If you just bring up something, I'll turn into a 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:46.439 comedy bit. 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.520 And the guy was drinking a coffee and he had 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.960 a little plastic ster stick in it, and he pulled 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.800 out the st stick and he said, do a routine 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:58.399 on the ster stick. And I did twenty minutes on 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.840 a ster stick. Jimmy went, all right, well, then he 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:02.640 can do anything. 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.600 So you're you're confident on the stage that you can 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.960 do it doesn't matter what what you pick up. You know, 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.640 I'm confident and I that I can do it. 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:18.159 But I will admit that just like with any form, 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.400 there are tricks. 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:27.240 There are techniques. You know. It's not all pure, is 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:28.080 it may sound. 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:33.399 You know, there are times when somebody brings something up 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:37.840 and you think, man, I got nothing, I got nothing 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.520 for this, And then you go, you know, I got 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:42.879 nothing for this. I'll tell you who else doesn't have anything. 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:44.879 My brother, let me tell you about it. 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:49.600 I was just gonna say to coffee to buffet, I 0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:55.040 got it survival. And the audience thinks you're doing the 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:56.320 thing that's on the road. 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.840 You just slid into something you could do, which is 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:05.280 but now if Jason listens and I thank you, you 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.200 will hear that ninety two percent of the time, whatever's 0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:11.520 on the ball shall be addressed directly. 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.359 I look at that, you see for your eager you 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:18.240 have to go back and go However, yeah, high, I'm 0:20:18.320 --> 0:20:22.000 sure I heard almost two dozen separate clips of you 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:22.480 doing that. 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.760 It's not sleight of hand, but there are occasions where 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:31.439 you will use little massages and techniques and things things 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:35.520 of that nature, much like sometimes when you see a 0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:40.760 comedian doing crowd work, he's not really doing total spontaneous 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:44.520 crowd work. He's doing the crowd. 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.520 Work right right. So let's get back though for a minute, 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.639 to the ice plunch? Do you do anything else like 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.400 the ice plunch? That's that's trendy? Do you eat only 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:56.080 food that's brown? You? Do you do the intermittent fasting trendy? 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.320 Do you do the jump rope? You know, there's so 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.479 much stuff in preparing today. I saw the Tiffany Hattish 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.720 actually proposed dringing a little turpentine would be good, and 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.680 I'm thinking, yeah, the fart paint off your wall. We're 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:10.960 just drinking turpentine going to do for you. So are 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:12.920 is there any other stuff that you do that's kind 0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:13.720
