30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,680

35
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: You host a lot of shows it you have like

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: a comedy club in your apartment called Club Nowhere. Would

37
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: you started during zoom Um where you do a lot

38
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: of improv sets and different shows on that. But it's

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: been a while since I had seen your stand up.

40
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: I mean maybe since like two thousand nine or something. Dude,

41
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to admit that, but it had been, you know,

42
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: since I was I don't watch anyone stand up, but

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: like maybe saw you at the Improv back in the day.

44
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: Your stand up special The Mad King is so freaking funny,

45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 1: so good. I was live texting you about it the

46
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: other night when I was watching it, and I was

47
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: blown away. Man, I mean, I knew you were funny,

48
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: but I really thought that because you're such an improv guy,

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: and you're such a guy that's does these specific shows

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: where you play characters you do like filters on your

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: face where you'll do different impressions and they're so fun.

52
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: I encourage everyone to check out everything Ben has going

53
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: on because he's just one of the funniest But this

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: stand up social is like top notch. Your stand up

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: is great. Thank you so much. That's very kind of you.

56
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: Your text change to me was very encouraging during my

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: premier night. That made me feel very good. Yeah. I

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: just put it on and I started writing to him

59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: as I was watching, like all the bits I loved,

60
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: and I was watching it on two like one point five.

61
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: I think I started at one point seven, but you're

62
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: a fast talker, which I appreciate, so I had to

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: take it down to a one point five. And as

64
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: soon as I started going, I know that Ben is

65
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: so neurotic, just like I am that I go by

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: the way, Ben, I don't think that I'm like skipping bits.

67
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: I'm watching it on double the speed, so that you

68
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: you you you're not only taking care of you're not

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: only being nice watching it, but you're taking care of

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: my psyche and you, Oh yeah, I would have been

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: so confused. You were like, I think YouTube is glitching

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: because I was going too fast for it's in And

73
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: you're like, your clothes is incredible. I love how you

74
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: closed out the show with those credits, and and she

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: like live live texted me for the first like two

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: dropped off and then like an hour later I was like, oh,

77
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: so you hate the last third of my I know.

78
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: That's how not good of a friend I was. I

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: didn't tell you that I dropped off because I assumed

80
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,119
Speaker 1: that you would think, like, there's no way I would

81
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: not like keep going even if it sucked. I would

82
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: like find something to like about it, even if I

83
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: but I had to. I got distracted because someone was

84
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: like I need this answer on something, so I had

85
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,559
Speaker 1: to go. Ship's geared, So I haven't finished it, but man,

86
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: I like I was. It made me and that's the

87
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: mark of something great. It made me want to really

88
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: like buckle down and focus on my writing. And it

89
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: was just so tight because I know you. You and

90
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: I are very similar in the sense that we're both

91
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: we can get very tangentle, very quick, and we it

92
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: can be we just get distracted. We're very a d

Speaker 1: I can't, but I've been here two minutes and I

96
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: was going to not say anything, but it's it's very

00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: I know I'm bad. I'm bad. I'm disgusting. I get it.

107
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: That's not what I was saying. Oh, if you would

108
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: have known how long I let it go before I

109
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: said something. I I'm drinking coffee. I hears about my jokes.

110
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: That's how it always. Oh my god, But seriously, I'm

111
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: drinking coffee. That's what it is. I'm drinking it is. Well.

112
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,039

00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: their own ad reads, but if you'd like coffee that

114
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: makes your gums wet, try the New Wet Coffee Company.

115
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: It is okay, you know what it is. I think

116
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: I think I did figure it out. I have food

117
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: in my teeth and you're trying to get it out

118
00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: six weeks ago. I don't know. You have water pick? Brother,

119
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: How does food get stuck in your teeth when you

120
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: don't have any I don't know. I mean there's sockets,

121
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: those those empty sockets. You gotta get a water pick.

122
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: You're keeping sockets or pockets. If you promote three beaks,

123
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: dude sockets our pockets is the funniest thing I've ever heard.

124
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: Dude sockets. Well, go back and listen to what I

125
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: was the sound effects that were going on while I

126
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: was talking about about a special It sounded like a

00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: a bathroom that was like leak, like a leaky bathroom. Yeah,

129
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't know for good. You know a lot of

131
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: But you know what I need. I need one of

132
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: those dentists to carry around one of those vacuums. I

133
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: love when you get to suck on one of those.

134
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: When I don't think, oh you don't hold on you,

135
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: it holds onto you. I feel like I'm gonna get

00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: Every mouth on earth has something. Do you think you are? Man?

00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: great like just bits about just what I like about

156
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: your special is that the part I saw the third

157
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: I saw which I read thirds of books, I watched

158
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: thirds of specials I did. I saw, I saw two thirds,

159
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: but that's a third exactly. It was you talk about

160
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: things that I was like, God, this is there's no

161
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: way that you could. There's like stuff that's just it

162
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: that you think has been done, but it hasn't. Like

163
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: your stuff on religion, which whenever someone starts talking about religion,

164
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm always kind of like I'm out because I don't

165
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: really know about religion and I don't really know what

166
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to know. And I feel like I used

167
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: to think Kane and Able were like the two characters

168
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: from Cheers that sat at the bar, Like I didn't

169
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: know anything about religion, so I don't know what, but

170
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: I learned a little bit, like I love Can I

171
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: just can I like spoil one of your beds? Yeah,

172
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad if I do. Yeah. So

173
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: what you were talking about, how why has God never

174
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: shown up again? Then he did? Can you just can

175
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: you kind of like run us through that? But it's

176
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: just only talk to us once thousands of years ago,

177
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: during an era of very poor record keeping. Why was

178
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: that he chose to speak? He didn't even have pens.

179
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: We didn't have feather pens. Had to carve ship into

180
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: stone to get your method to cross. God's on Moses

181
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: on top mountain sign. He's like, slow down, I'm on one,

182
00:10:53,640 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: you're on seven. Shall not kill I'm carving this running that.

183
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: That's a great point. It makes talk time. The carving

184
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: makes it so official. You know, like if just wrote

185
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: it in notes on his phone and came down and

186
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: was like, hey, you shouldn't kill a guy, It's like

187
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: that's in your notes that you like your voice to Dick.

188
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: He wrote it on the back of a Java juice receipt.

189
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're gonna trust this. Wait time out,

190
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: there's a job a juice back your phone that's a

191
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: good point. We got a phone, you gotta have Joba

192
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: juice to balance it up. Yeah, there's a tablet joke

193
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: in there, boy, that there is for sure. Um, I

194
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: wanted to talk. That's sad um. I Uh. Last night

195
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: I posted something on or I guess it was two

196
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: days ago on my Instagram story. I saw a clip

197
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: from a comedian that you know, that handsome British comedian

198
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: with his name Jack. Oh, yes, Jack Whitehall or something Yes,

199
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: Jack Whitehall. Yes, uh, gorgeous man. Um, I was thinking

200
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: of you when I saw this clip. I swear, Yeah,

201
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: it's rare. That it is not rare. Let me be honest.

202
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of times when the comedians have like

203
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: a really hot take on something, and most of at

204
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: the time it's like the comedians hate cyclists. They hate people.

205
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: They don't want to share the road with cyclists. That's

206
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: such a point they like to make about like they're

207
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: going too slow and like get off the road. And

208
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: that just causes people to like be angry at cyclists.

209
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: And it causes them too, because my dad's a cyclist

210
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: and he always gets run off the road by just

211
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: people that are like get off my road. It's just

212
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: so stupid. Dad is always getting run off the road

213
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: on his base. It used to happen a lot. He

214
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: doesn't bike anymore, but when he was a cycling there

215
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: would always be people that would just go right next

216
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: to him just because they were like, you think you're

217
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: better than me, guy in spandex. It's working out and

218
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: jealous of you because you have a better you that

219
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: car who was my dad's car. Every time it's um

220
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: and whereas I'm someone. The other day I was I

221
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: was on the sidewalk and there were people biking on

222
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: the sidewalk and I was like, the get off the sidewalk.

223
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: I yelled at them. I go, guys, And I didn't yell.

224
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: I did it as nice as possible. There were there

225
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: was three of them, and I go, Nikki, don't say anything.

226
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: They're a family, they don't know. But it wasn't a family.

227
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: It was like people my age. And then there was

228
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: three more in this group and I go, guys, you

229
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: got a bike on the road. The road is right here.

230
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: It's biking is on the road and it's on the sidewalk.

231
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm on the right parteless deserve to be on the

232
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: road on the road that people don't respect it and

233
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: they're getting run off the road and you're sending them

234
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: to their drivers need to be more drivers need to

235
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: be more respectful. They need to give them room. They

236
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: don't need to be so angry at them. It's not

237
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: I love I give cyclists so much room. I'm almost

238
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: in the next lane. I love giving a lot of room.

239
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: I think God needs to come down and make this

240
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: a commandment. Where is God now to keep cyclists somewhere

241
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: in the middle. But Jack Jack Whitehall was going off

242
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: about you know, I got to the airport and when

243
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: people he's just so hot. So I'm watching it. He's

244
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: like people, you know, when people are late to the airport,

245
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: they just cut in line. I don't like people cutting

246
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: in line, Whereas I'm like, you're a famous person, you

247
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: have a cut people in line to get in clubs

248
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: because you're like with Kate Beck and sale in to

249
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: you've a dent like cut in front of people. But

250
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: he's really taken up. He's taken up bridge with these

251
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: people cutting in line the airport and I I just

252
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: in his His thing was like their excuses, but I'm late,

253
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: and it's like I get it. It's funny. It's almost

254
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: like the Luis c. K joke of when someone like

255
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: cuts in front of you in traffic and it does

256
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: like a dumb thing, and you're like, what are you doing?

257
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: And the woman's like, but I want to go there,

258
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: and you're like, well you can't. She's like, but I

259
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: want to do it, but I can't. Like that's not

260
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: a good enough reason. I get the joke, but truly,

261
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: I think it's bad propaganda for people traveling. If if

262
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: if you, if you everyone has been late to the airport,

263
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: If someone is looking under dress and they show up

264
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: at the airport and they're gonna miss their flight, and

265
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: you are in line at T S A and you

266
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: were two hours there early because you're responsible and all

267
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: these things that you want everyone to know, Well, you

268
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: should have been there earlier, just like me because I'm responsible.

269
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: Well guess what not, everyone's you. So sometimes ship happens

270
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: in life, your alarm doesn't go off, whatever, let people

271
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: go in front of you. This is so stupid that

272
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: everyone should have a wait in line. There's so many

273
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: times I get to the airport late and I am

274
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: fraught with like wanting to interrupt, Like if I ever

275
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: see someone looking nervous about missing their flight, I'm always like,

276
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: go ahead. I don't even like wait for them to ask,

277
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: because it's so there should be a line for people

278
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: who are late, do you And Ben wrote to me

279
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: and said, I agree with you on this. I just

280
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: think too many times there's there are people that skip

281
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: the line, that get off the plane. Like I had

282
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: a girl today or the other day. She got up

283
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: right away, got in front, skipped the whole line, got

284
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: off the plane, we got out of the fucking little

285
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: tarmac whatever area, and then she stopped walking right in

286
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: front and just blocked traffic. So she hurried to get

287
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: off the plane and then was in no hurry off

288
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: the plane, which kind of drove me insane because she

289
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: didn't have anywhere to go, but I guess her brain

290
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: had somewhere to go because she was feeling probably anxious

291
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: and anxiety are are you know you're gonna find people

292
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: that are going to break the rules and just line

293
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: cut because they just want to. But that is I

294
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: feel like it's few and far between, as opposed to

295
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: like when people are late and they're gonna miss their

296
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: flight because if something happened the uber, they called an uber,

297
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: it canceled, like there's a million things that can not

298
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: be your quote unquote fault. And then people just look

299
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: at you like sorry, you should have been like me,

300
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm really responsible, and it's like, well sorry, I'd an

301
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: alcoholic father who didn't teach me how to get to

302
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: the airport two hours early, Like you bitch, like just

303
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: let me go in front? Like why Andrew's a huge

304
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: Andrew Whitehall fan and Jack white Hall fan, And I

305
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: don't think you just love the British? Is that what

306
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: he's a jackie? Because I can't I can't name one

307
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: other British comedian, but god, there they you know, they

308
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: mean so much they they won't they have tea things

309
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: like get in the way and empathetic to them. I

310
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 1: get it. Well, look, I I just think that you

311
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: know that one I had one guy skipped me in

312
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: line and I had headphones in and and I started

313
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: talking shit about him, but I didn't realize I was

314
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: too loud because the music was on, and so I

315
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: pretended was like to yourself, yeah yeah, yeah, So I

316
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: was like, you bob, motherfucker, Like it's very specific. You've

317
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: never called out anyone for skipping lines or anything like

318
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: you never oh, I'm not an airport. There's a difference

319
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: between someone going I'm really late, I'm so sorry, like

320
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: looking sad about it, and then someone who just is like,

321
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: I want to get there sooner because I think I'm better.

322
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there is a total difference. Jack Whitehall's joke

323
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: was about people who are late and are like, can

324
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: I get in front because I'm late, And he's like, yeah,

325
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: that's not a good enough excuse. We're all here. You

326
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: think we have all these bags so we can go

327
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: buy a giant tob larone. Oh god, that's okay. That's

328
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: the word. I mean, that's not a bad job by anything.

329
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: L yeaherence, it's just a it's a false premise because

330
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't believe that at all either. Jack. I know,

331
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: if he was late to an airport would want someone

332
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: to like he was. He's a story. I have to

333
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: I have to cut your loo in the air. You know,

334
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: whatever I liked about your stand up special is that

335
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: there aren't false premises based on like things that are

336
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: you're just not angry about things that don't really make

337
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: any sense, that are just for the joke, Like they're

338
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: all based on actual stuff that's happening in your life,

339
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: and I want to get to say more things that

340
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: you talked about in the first two thirds of your special.

341
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: When we would get back after this with Ben Glebe.

342
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: All right, we're back with Benny Boy Glee. Ben Glebe

343
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: has a new special out called The Mad King that

344
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: you can check out on YouTube. We do think it

345
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: has been shadow bands, so we would really appreciate you

346
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: guys to watch it. You are going to to love this.

347
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: Like I, I do promote people's stand up a lot,

348
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: and especially my friends. I was so happy that this

349
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: was actually great and really, Ben, I'm serious, like and

350
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: I already told you this via text. It truly inspired

351
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: me and made me go. But I mean I told

352
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: I said, this was Burr levels good, like Bill Burr

353
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: level is good without question like this, if any of

354
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: these jokes I could see coming from they are if

355
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 1: Bill Burr were to say them. Carlin asked, you know

356
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: all these guys like it's up there with that where

357
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: it's like the way you make you change the way

358
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: I think about certain things. Um, I really really love

359
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: what your point about. Um uh uh. I don't want

360
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: to spoil it. The different TV shows and the different

361
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: kind of media that women watch versus men. Yes about that, Yeah,

362
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: tell me. I mean, it's just all gender roles are

363
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of it's confusing that people are even like so

364
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: rigidly holding on to like, oh, you can't use this

365
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: bathroom or that bathroom. All gender roles are blending anyway,

366
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: they're kind of reversing. Like we all grew up believing

367
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: that men love action movies and women love romantic comedies.

368
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: That to be true at all these days, Like my

369
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: favorite movies when Harry met Sally, and every woman I

370
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: talked to, she's like, I've just been to watch twelve

371
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: serial killer documentaries on the Like I couldn't have watched

372
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: one of those. How do you do that? Well? I

373
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: wrote that, and I was like dead. My favorite movie

374
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 1: is when Harry met Sally and you're like, but you're

375
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: so that really cut through because you're so right like

376
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: the we I really loved all your stuff about gender

377
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: because I'm huge trans rights advocate and I just I

378
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: don't see what all the fuss is about, like just

379
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: let people be what they want to be, UM, And

380
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: I really loved your take on it. And I always

381
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: get nervous when anyone even goes there, because I'm like, god,

382
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: please don't have the wrong take. But I love that

383
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: you said you go America loves we love trans people.

384
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: Why are we so up in arms? We love transformers

385
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 1: are getting me? It was such a great point, like

386
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: we like like you had a really you had a

387
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: lot of great takes on that, and I loved that.

388
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: It was it just it just you made great points.

389
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: And then you even got into more personal stuff of

390
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: like you dealing you know, your girlfriend now fiance, dealing

391
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 1: with depression during COVID her painting all the walls Gray, Um,

392
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: you talked to me, Yeah, you talked about your diagnosis

393
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: of having a d D, which I also was like,

394
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: oh my god, I was just diagnosed with a d D. Um,

395
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: tell me a little bit about that, because how did

396
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: you not know because you're a boy, and I feel

397
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: like boys usually getting a diagnosis early. Yeah. Yeah, I

398
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: had to go to my parents and be like, guys,

399
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: so you've been aware that I've been unable to finish

400
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: any to do list my entire life or get out

401
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: of bed. At her focus, they focused on on something.

402
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, we just thought that was you Like yeah,

403
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: but people can have problems and still be them, Like, yes,

404
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: I know that we just thought that was you is

405
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: a very thing, like we just thought that's who you are.

406
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: And it's like there are solutions for this thing I'm

407
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: struggling with. Like fascinating though, though, because Ben, you are

408
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: so highly I mean I almost would air on the

409
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: side of your parents because it's like you look at

410
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: you and you look at how accomplished you are. You,

411
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Ben Gleeb. If you didn't know he ran

412
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: for president and I'm not kidding you, like it wasn't

413
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: just like I'm going to run for president, like just

414
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: as a bit. This guy really ran for president and

415
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: gave it his all, and I thought it was going

416
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: to kill him. I love a president. I love a

417
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: president that runs on I will not do my whole

418
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: to do list. I promise you I will get through

419
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: four of them. I will. I will start with the

420
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: big ones because I trail off. I will not play

421
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 1: golf as much as other presidents, because I will not

422
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: get out of bed most days because the walls are gray.

423
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: You get a whole team. You get a whole team

424
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: when you're president. You're so right. Someone recently said to me, Nikki,

425
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: because I'm going on vocal rest pretty soon after surgery.

426
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: And I was talking to someone who uh. I was

427
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: talking to someone and he was like, who works closely

428
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: with celebrities? And he was like, you're the hardest working

429
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: person I know. You deserve a break. And I said

430
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: harder than Fallon And he goes, Fallon has a team

431
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, well I have. And it's

432
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: a good point. Like, once you get to that level,

433
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: President Fallon you, it almost gets easier because there is

434
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: so much was that did you think about that, Ben

435
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: on the way to becoming president, Like, once I get there,

436
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: this has got to get easier. Ben being like the

437
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: only thing holding me back is I gotta get someone

438
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: to get me a toothbread. No, that's like I forgot it. Well,

439
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: first of all, as Americans going right now, we're probably

440
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: one to two years away from America being called the

441
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: United States of America starring Jimmy Fallon. He will probably

442
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: all have America. Oh yeah, he would, he would. Oh

443
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: my god, this is incredible. So excited to have the

444
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: president of China here. This incredible. All the toys you make,

445
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: all the stuff you make, we really love it. We

446
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: love it here. We still have concentration camps. Is that cool? Jimmy, Judge,

447
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm not here, Judge, move right back with Mary kay Olson.

448
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: She's got a new hand back. She's a secretary of state.

449
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, Ben, what what's how did you? I mean

450
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: you were getting it done? What? What made you even

451
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: want to get a diagnosis? What made you look into it?

452
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: You said that you can't get out of ad like

453
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: that to me does not. When you were talking about

454
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: like you was stay in bed all days sometimes with

455
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: your girlfriend and your special I was like, I felt

456
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: good because I was like, you seem such like a

457
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: highly productive person that I felt like, oh, he never

458
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: takes a day off. You're someone that I think we were.

459
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: We relate to each other a lot in the sense

460
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: that of of our work ethic. I think you read

461
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,679
Speaker 1: my thing and that interview magazine you were like, I

462
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: relate to all of these answers about working. So how

463
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: how how does it work for you? I don't often

464
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: take out full days. I just am on a very

465
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 1: weird sleep schedules always that you think is gonna kill me.

466
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: And I think you're you know, you're gone something. I

467
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: need to fix it. Like a month, three and a half,

468
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: three and a half hours. It's not good and uh so,

469
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I just sometimes when I'm relaxing,

470
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: I try to like do it, but I feel like

471
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: I have like sleep paralysis. In the morning when I

472
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: wake up, I just my whole life. I can't. I

473
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: feel like there's the world's heaviest way to blanket on

474
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: me and I just can't get out of bed, like

475
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: I'm in a coma. Like I wake up and I'm like,

476
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: they're I can't move. I'll snooze like three times when

477
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: I can. I don't have a day full of stuff.

478
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: It's pretty rare. But like on the weekends, I'm like,

479
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: I'll just sneeze. I'll sneeze. I'll sneeze all day until

480
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: being awake. People bring a little dish of pepper under

481
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: my nose. Can I sleep and will? It makes sense

482
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: that you once you do, is that a fear of

483
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: yours about like actually going to sleep, is that you

484
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: you know that the desire to stay in bed will

485
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: be so strong that you almost don't want to go

486
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: to sleep because it's going to be hard to get

487
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: out of bed. That's exactly so late exactly right. Is

488
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: that like people that get things done before, like in

489
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: the morning, wake up early, like I'm gonna run a

490
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: mile and then I'm gonna get I'm gonna edit this

491
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: podcast and then start my day of tasks. Like I

492
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: just won't ever get to anything until my first appointment,

493
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: and I'll probably be late to that appointment. I'll probably

494
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: be like almost late to the flight and I'll have

495
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: to pass British people in line on the way into

496
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: the airport. About fantasy, you said it almost like the

497
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: British ghost. It was weird chocolates joining us. Um, that's

498
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: so interesting, Ben, because fix that. For me, it is

499
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: the one really thing The adderall help in my life.

500
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: I was able to like bounce out of bed and

501
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, humans can actually not feel like

502
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: they're connected to like some kind of a I feel

503
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: like I'm in a coma when I wake up normally.

504
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: And it solved that. But I had to quit it

505
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: recently because it was just too intense. Well, let me

506
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: just ask you about this coma state, Like when you

507
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: are in bed and you're not able to get out.

508
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: Is it a physical like I just can't get out

509
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: or is it do you I mean, everything that's physical

510
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: is mental. But are you aware of the mental anguish

511
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: going on? Is it like I have so much to

512
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: do today? It's like if I get out, I know

513
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: that it's so long before I get back in. I'm

514
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: just projecting of what I kind of think about in

515
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: the morning of like, here's another fucking day. Like I

516
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: don't understand people that are like I love the day

00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: do you are you? Because you're a guy that I

526
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: love socializing as part of that because you want to

527
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: keep busy, because you don't want to focus on this.

528

00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: I have a big zest for things and I like

534
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: to plan big events and fun things because when I

535
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: go do the things I want to, I want to

536
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm like a sound address. I want to make the most.

00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: I want to make the most of things when I

538
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: do them. But in the like some reason, like all

539
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: day once I'm up and then all through the night,

540
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: like I have the most energy and I want to

541
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: do a million things and I'll never get tired and

542
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: I can stay up and definitely like I wasn't even

543
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: tired when I went to bed at four or forty

544
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: five this morning. I was like I wanted to keep

545
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: doing stuff and do on my phone and read the

546
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: news and ship. But then in the morning, there is

547
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: nothing that I want more than sleep, And I will

548
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: change every part, Like as I'm about to go to sleep,

549
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: I'll be like, all right, so I have to do this,

550
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: and I need fifteen minutes for that, and I'll shower

551
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: and I'll do that, and I need to get up

552
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: at ninety five to possibly get to the thing by

553
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: eleven thirty. And the morning immediately I wake up and

554
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, I can get up and just speed there context.

555
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry a little bit late. I just I just

556
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: push every priority in my life. I'd rather fail at

557
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: life in the morning. I don't need to. I can

558
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: go with dirty hair. Let me cut off twenty more minutes.

559
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: I started doing all this math to I don't need you.

560
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, I don't need to go see

561
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: my sister. Okay, I'll cut that out. Like you just start,

562
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: I do the same thing. Um, it is fascinating. And

563
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: you found that adderall was something that you know in

564
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: your special you talk about, Oh, it's this like miracle drug.

565
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: It changed my life. By the time we were texting

566
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: about it, you go, I I'm I'm it's it's not

567
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: in my life anymore. Can you speak to that at all? Yeah,

568
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's the only two words in the

569
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: special that I regret is what is saying that it's

570
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: a miracle drug. And I would have had them cut

571
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: those two words out, except I don't work. That's a

572
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: good point. That's a good point, but miracle that's true. Yeah,

573
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't the words I regretted in special, And I

574
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: don't know if man, do I regret saying it's I

575
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: could have said they are a miracle drug, and I

576
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: really phrase that the very direct way that ruined everything.

577
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: Maybe if you're back on Adderall, you would have it's

578
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: a good point. I like that you say you regret it,

579
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: and we'll get to why in a second. But it

580
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: did strike me immediately when you said it. I go, oh, good, Okay,

581
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: I can do it. Now it was Ben's doing it.

582
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 1: I can do it. There is something about when someone

583
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: you admire, I E. I'm watching you. You're funny, You're

584
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: killing it. Everyone loves you. I'm watching the special. It's

585
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: so good. You're You're operating on a level where I'm like,

586
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: I need to I aspire to write some jokes like this.

587
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: And then I hear, oh, he does adderall. He thinks

588
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: it's a miracle drug. Okay, I'm gonna ask my doctor

589
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: about it. So I like that you do acknowledge that

590
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: you endure something that might inspire people to go I'm

591
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna go do that. And and now let's talk about

592
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: the flip side. Why why you feel like that maybe

593
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: was a little too uh yeah not not maybe the

594
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: best thing. Yeah, I feel like snorting it out of

595
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: like an asshole, like by the end of it, I

596
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: would like I would also, it doesn't smell good. I

597
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, ship nurse. It's a pository,

598
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: but you put it in a girl's ass and then

599
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: you here, I don't know. I think she's tired of

600
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: the shift already. She's her back hurts. She kept being

601
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: downward dog all day. According to her, I don't know

602
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: what this is or not. The thing was worried about it,

603
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: like are we using the same straw? Are the straws clean?

604
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: And so I don't regret it in the way that

605
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: I know it is. It is a miracle drug store

606
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: for a lot of people, So it's fine. And I

607
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: didn't ask them to edit those words out because I

608
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: already had made one editor quit when editing my special

609
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: based on my notes, and it was gonna say, man,

610
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: I want to know about that process too, But let's

611
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: stand that. So, yeah, it just for me was making

612
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: me like it was a marginal It helped me wake up.

613
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: It was a marginal benefit to my to do list,

614
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: not really because I started I had the horrible problem

615
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: that I started being able to justify whatever I was

616
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: doing as something that it would help me focus on.

617
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: Like for a minute I was able to actually be like, oh,

618
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm using adderall on my to do list. And then

619
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: once I got to the place where I was like, Okay,

620
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: the Adderall's helping me focus on finishing masturbating quicker, I'm like,

621
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: I've I've hacked the adderall and now I'm making it

622
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: help me focus on whatever I'm doing, even if it's

623
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,919
Speaker 1: my old bad habits. And so I like outsmarted the pill,

624
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: which was the problem, and it made me very irritable.

625
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: I think this is the It was like, I love it.

626
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: The movie Limit List was at the end He's like,

627
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm jerking off faster. I never saw it. Actually,

628
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. Him jerking off pass for two and

629
00:34:52,880 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: a half hour has worn we So I do want

630
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: to get back to this of um I because I'm

631
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: on subreddits about a d h D and uh once

632
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: I got diagnosed about different medications and everything and how

633
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: some people respond to them. That is a common you know,

634
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: complaint of people on these stimulants is that yes, it

635
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: helps some focus on stuff, Yes it helps them get

636
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: there to do list one, but then they find that

637
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: they start focusing on things that things that they shouldn't

638
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: be focusing on, like the stuff that because a d

639
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 1: h D. What they what I just realized from reading

640
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 1: this book that I am reading, you know, read a

641
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: third of called the neuro Divergent Brain or whatever I

642
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: think it's called. Um it, I didn't even read. I

643
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: didn't read the freedom full title. Got a third of

644
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: the way through that. The first word of the second

645
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: third was if you don't make it to this sentence,

646
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: you are neuro divergent and can't focus your brain on

647
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: anything properly. It's called I'm sorry, divergent divergent minds the

648
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: woman the book, so I was close, but it says

649
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: that I think it was in this book. It says,

650
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: you know, a d D is not People think it's

651
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,479
Speaker 1: about not being read the whole book, and I don't

652
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: know the title, and I'm not sure the purpose. But

653
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: let me tell you what I think might be in

654
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: the book. Every person that this book about a d

655
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: D is definitely someone who is not finished. Don't even

656
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: have the it's right here, it's right here. You've just

657
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: been reading the Coming alive. I've just been I mean, honestly,

658
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: you can see my percentages on these books. Let me

659
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: just walk you through this, Hold Me Tight a book

660
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love twelve percent. The

661
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: artists Deduction Coming Alive, uh and the only ones that

662
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: I've it as her Columbine books as you know. So um.

663
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: But it says that like a d D is not

664
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: it's not a disorder of you can't focus. Because the

665
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,479
Speaker 1: thing is people with a D B that's where we think.

666
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: We think anyone who's like, oh, a squirrel, like, that's

667
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: that's you don't. You're not able to focus. You have

668
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: your you can't. You don't have attention to put anywhere.

669
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: The problem is you have a lot of attention, and

670
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: you focus on the wrong things, intensely on the wrong things.

671
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: So I always thought of a D is like you

672
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: can't hold my focus on anything. But a d D

673
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 1: is not that. It's like we are able to focus

674
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: very much so on stupid ship. And that's why for me,

675
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 1: a d D makes me really super depressed, borderline suicidal,

676
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: because I will focus intently and obsessively on the you

677
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: know fact that you know, my life isn't the way

678
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: I wanted to be. I don't have these things that

679
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: other people have. I like, I will, I will obsess

680
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: over that stuff. And that's my roote of my depression

681
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: was my A D D, which I had no idea about.

682
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: Do you ever, So how do you manage your A

683
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: D D? Now? Ben? Yeah? So, I mean that's that's

684
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: exactly why I didn't know I had it. By the way,

685
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: from my whole life was I thought exactly the same

686
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: thing that it was like squirrel and a million things

687
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: that distract you, and it's not. I have incredible focus,

688
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: Like I can be up all night editing a flyer

689
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: even though that's the least important thing in the world

690
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 1: for me to be doing. And I've got like eight

691
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: other projects that will advance my life. But I'm like

692
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: stuck in Photoshop world for a fly I'll probably never

693
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: post and it will be eight years from now and

694
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: I'll be like, why did I waste the most key

695
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: time ever? And so that's what Somehow they said that

696
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: adder I was able to do it beyond just keeping

697
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: you focusing on one task and somehow like helped you

698
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: realize like what you should be focusing on and like

699
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: helps you remember like, oh this is important. And it

700
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: worked for like a few months and then suddenly I

701
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: just I outsmarted in the way where I was like

702
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: justifying like the breaks I needed. So then I told

703
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: my my brain with a pill like even if I

704
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: was like again, if I was like looking at porn,

705
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's been such a stressful day.

706
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: I need this mental break. I need this relaxation. And

707
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 1: so this half hour to maybe an hour break looking

708
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: at porn is very important for the rest of my day,

709
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,479
Speaker 1: so I can reset and relax. And my brain was like, great,

710
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: Adderall is working for you, and and I was able

711
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: to It's funny when you're watching the porn on Adderall

712
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: and you're just focusing on like a paper clip on

713
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: the table or instead of being the pussy. So I

714
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: can't focus on the pussy. I'm I'm busy looking at

715
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: this fucking I think I was being untied. We are

716
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 1: still on as I'm looking at the porn too. I'm

717
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: sitting there and focused on that, and I feel like

718
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: it's good. Then the nurses like, can I get up now?

719
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: Or are you gonna re up? I'm really happy that

720
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: you that you just admitted that sometimes you spend an

721
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: hour looking at porn, because I also have a problem

722
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: where I it's I don't even think it's a d

723
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 1: D for me, it's I, I really, if I'm going in,

724
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: I gotta find the perfect video. I want to come

725
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: to the perfect thing. I don't want to waste it

726
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: on whatever there is just there, because there's a lot

727
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: of stuff that could get me off. And there are

728
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: times where I'll be watching something and I'm like, I'm

729
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: close and this could do it, but it's this guy

730
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: doesn't deserve it, this girl does this performance, this this

731
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: grainy footage, whatever it is, this security camera in a

732
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 1: massage parlor doesn't deserve it. There's gotta be better out there. Yeah,

733
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 1: I get my own part of your Yes, I get

734
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,279
Speaker 1: my own to do list within porn, Like when may

735
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: be the greatest advancement in porn is that every site

736
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: now has where you can just put your finger on

737
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: the thumbnail and it gives you a preview and I

738
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: can tell if it's gonna be hot to my standards

739
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: or not. And so I'll get a tab and I'm like,

740
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: I have to come back and watch that one, but

741
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: this one looks also good. This one might get close,

742
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 1: but all the way. So I'll open the next tab,

743
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I have to go back to tabs

744
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: to finish. I really want to see this verson and

745
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: that one, and I think I'll probably finish back on

746
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 1: that third tab and maybe I'll not not get back

747
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: to it and hopefully remember the next day to go back.

748
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: Before it's over, your vibrator stops working and then the

749
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: whole operation. Vibrator always stopped working right before the end.

750
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: That's I always, I always, I always toggle to is

751
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: it the word toggle? Is that the word? Yeah? I

752
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: toggled to reveal of the penis a little bit of

753
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: a blow and then right to fucking usually on top

754
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: and the backside, and that's what I toggle, and then

755
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm done. Three toggles. That's interesting. Well, usually they show

756
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: you on porn like where you know, they have a

757
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: little um I don't even know how to describe it,

758
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: like it shows you the most popular part of the videos.

759
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: You're looking at the end level my god, oh my god,

760
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: you're making your coming far too complicated. Jesus, I thought

761
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: I was bad. You're like when a bar graph reaches

762
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: the top and most people have talking about just passed.

763
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: I can come a little harder than the rest of

764
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: the population. Oh, I'm a big edger. I do look

765
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: at that. Well. I always go right to the grossest

766
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: part of the video, like I'll just go I don't

767
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,840
Speaker 1: want any tease. I'm just like, let's see what the fuck?

768
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: What's I go right to you like this porn is

769
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: big in Norway? Oh my god, An, you know what

770
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: I'm really disturbed by is that every every porn Yeah,

771
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: analytics and I will say that Ben Gley makes an

772
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: analysis joke in his special Ben we have a history

773
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: of Andrew wanted me to name my special anal Eyes

774
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: because I talked about anal and it's like also analyzing things.

775
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: But I but I also was like, but there's why

776
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: the eyes partner. He's like, because you see the like

777
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: if the special were about me, like talking about my

778
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: like my eyes and also anal like, I could see

779
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: why it would be called analize. But I'm like, it's

780
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: not enough to just be so anyway, Um, we have

781
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: a whole running bit about that. But I was so

782
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: delighted when you also had to take on the word analysis.

783
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 1: Can you tell us what it is? Sure? I can,

784
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: but first I have to finish like picturing what you

785
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: just painted for me as what Andrew's pitch for your

786
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: special was getting sucked from behind, but in the front

787
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: you're like an explorer looking out of the world. Yeah,

788
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: that's good that there's of interpretation. That's the beauty of it. Dude.

789
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, you are such a good salesman. I forgot

790
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: that you used to work in bullshit because you did

791
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: not take at the beauty so many different ways to

792
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: interpret it. It's it's up to the viewer. I mean,

793
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: good clean filth. It was great, don't get me wrong,

794
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean it never ends. Well, thank god

795
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: you didn't use that title because it would have stepped

796
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 1: on my joke maybe too closely. But what my joke

797
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: is is that, look, it's important to be in therapy.

798
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: Therapy has been great for me. But you know, don't

799
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: overdo analyzing your life. Analysis is important, sure, but if

800
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: it was that important, it wouldn't be made up of

801
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 1: the words anal and isis. And keep that in mind.

802
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: Analysis also sounds like you're fucking your sister in the

803
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: ass a little bit, you know what I mean? Can

804
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: I pull up the analytics? All right? We will be

805
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 1: right back after this break more with Ben Leeb. Alright,

806
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: we're back Ben Gleeb is with us here today. Um

807
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,160

810
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: I would not be promoting it so much if I

00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: didn't believe it. It is called The Mad King. Make

812
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: sure you watch it, give it a view, post about

Speaker 1: to watch things. Um and uh, and you're gonna love it.

815
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 1: I just was so even the start of the special.

816
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: How did you open the special? Again? It was really

817
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: delight Oh you go you when you you were asking

818
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: the crowd, how are you? Guys? What did you say?

819
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: Look out? And I'm like, I'm like, how are you?

820
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Can I get you anything? Are

821
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: you warm? Comedians are allowed, are allowed tell jokes anymore?

822
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be all questions for the hour? Can

823
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: make you more comfortable? Yes, it was a great comment

824
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: on like, you know, comedians always all we talked about

825
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: is like we're under persecution, we can't talk about anything.

826
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: But it was a great comment on that without going

827
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: too heavy handed, which is what I really just can't

828
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: say enough. I thought so much of your special was

829
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: just because you you have a tendency. You can get

830
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: very political, you can get very you're passionate about certain things.

831
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you ran for president. You you were passionate,

832
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 1: and you wanted to argue with me about One night,

833
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: Ben and I at a practice debate about whether or

834
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: not there wait, what are you practicing for? We we

00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: want to have a debate about free well there is

836
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: fretty well past like our nine minute pre debate. Oh yeah.

837
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: So we recorded it and it was really good and

838
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: then I was like, I've got to go to bed.

839
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 1: We're in the lobby of my hotel and I was like,

840
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:54,759

00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: step of wet coffee, wetmouth coffee. I gotta buy an

842
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: inflatable a gator in the morning. And I swear to God,

843
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: that is you are one of the best people going

844
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: out there. Like I always tell Ben this whenever we

845
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: like end our hangs, because usually it's like very late

846
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: at night or there's it's just you know, Ben will

847
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: keep you until you've tried to go home hours before.

848
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: But Ben will somehow keep you there. You didn't even

849
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: want to go out, You tried to you, try to

850
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: get out of it a million different ways, and Ben

851
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: will stay on you. And Ben is a good I've

852
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 1: always given shipped to people who make their friends feel

853
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 1: bad about bailing. Ben is not like that. He will

854
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: let you bail, but he will hear your bail. He'll

855
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: hear your reasoning for bailing. He will understand it, but

856
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: he will talk you out of that bail, and he

857
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: will give you every reason why you can go. And

858
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: if it's not fun, you can. You're very good at

859
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: getting people out and getting Ben Bailey boom. Let me

860
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: tell you a cash cab if you don't like my

861
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: pitch to stay for the rest of the man um

862
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: Thank you. I just like options to people. I have

863
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: to give them. Of course, if you want to leave, go,

864
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,439
Speaker 1: But but you might change your mind if you knew

865
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: what you get from. Where do you get just from this? Like?

866
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: You are so like even you are so good, and

867
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: I am very aware when people are trying to get

868
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: like us, I'm very like, I'm not doing it and

869
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 1: I know what I'm not doing, and you will get

870
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: me out of that. How have you read books about

871
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: like the psychology of persuasion, how to win friends and

872
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: influence people. I mean, you have a lot of that

873
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: going for you, but I don't feel like it's put on.

874
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: It just seems to be a part of who you are. Yeah. No,

875
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: I haven't read any of that stuff. I think it's

876
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: just because I love human connection and I love hanging

877
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: with my friends, and we all are so busy, makes

878
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:51,840
Speaker 1: a little time for it when we do it. I

879
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: want to make the most of the night. It's like,

880
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna go back to our hotel room and

881
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 1: like be on TikTok are ourselves anyway for another three hours.

882
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: So I'll just like remind you that you could do

883
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: that instead of you can do that anytime, but this

884
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:05,480
Speaker 1: is a rare chance we're hanging even live in the

885
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: same city. I just like, I just want to make

886
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: the most with my friends. I want to and I

887
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: failed to getting either that that spa after karaoke twenty first,

888
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: but I came close, and I think you'll give me

889
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: next time recording a podcast. You even got me to

890
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: go to the karaoke, which is something I wanted to

891
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: bail on, Like you got. You got a lot more

892
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: out of me that night than I would have ever

893
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 1: given anyone else. I mean, there's constantly things like that

894
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: with you, and I do never regret them. And that

895
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 1: is a good point you have. You have free will

896
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: to leave. No, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't get

897
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: funny that, like the argument has now become about free will,

898
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: like right, well, wait till you here are debate on

899
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,439
Speaker 1: free willy and whether or not that was a good

900
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: movie because although it did, you know, give us a

901
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:01,240
Speaker 1: good argument for supporting the whales, it did actually probably

902
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: hurt some whales in the process of making that movie.

903
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: So but and I will release those stakes at some

904
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: point as well. Comps over the young boy at the end.

905
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, if you notice, you look closely, he

906
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: does tug on the whales dick really quickly as he

907
00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: flies over him. Cruelty or not, I'm out whales dicks

908
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 1: just hang that. How do you think? How do you

909
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: think over the water accident? No, I know, whales have dicks.

910
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: I remember I saw a sperm whales dick and like

911
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: marine biology and it was like biology, when what is that? Huh,

912
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: it's a class in Florida. It's all biology. Florida is

913
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: marine biology. But yeah, miss mac who would smoke cigarettes

914
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: during the break. In two minutes, he'd take down a

915
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,439
Speaker 1: non filter. It's pretty impressive, like a hundred and forty

916
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 1: years old. She's probably dead, but yeah, I just remember

917
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: your dicks meaning so fucking like whales. Dicks are unbelievable

918
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: if you gotta look into it, understand that. Like saying that,

919
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: I agree and on that, I'm gonna be in bent,

920

940
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:49,560

941
00:52:49,640 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 1: line and you're getting solemn person having a oh man

942
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: where he was like a little bit scared of getting canceled.

943

952
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: us now that we've honored the rape, duck rape. I

00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: mean I think I got the point out. Beautiful, very important,

954
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 1: My god. Okay, well, let's get to our Wednesday's segment.

955
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: I feel like there's no better time we have a

956
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: Today is a wild card Wednesday, so we'd pick a

957
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: random segment. Today's segment, Noah is blankest thing I've ever done,

958
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: and the testing and the topic will be the smartest

959
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: thing I've ever done, the smartest thing I've ever done,

960
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: the smartest thing of everyone who wants to go first? Noah,

961
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,399
Speaker 1: do you want to kick us off? Okay, I'll kick

962
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 1: us off. The smartest thing I've ever done. I'm going

963
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: to choose reading the book, getting to I do Yes,

964
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: front to back, side to side, at arizing it and

965
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,680
Speaker 1: that well Ben, Ben might not know about this book,

966
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,640
Speaker 1: but talking about your special to didn't you? I did? Yes?

967
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 1: Why do you? Why is that your answer to h? Because, um,

968
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: it just taught me how to feel better about being

969
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 1: in a relationship, how to get what I need out

970
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: of it, and how to communicate better and not have

971
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 1: such like a tumultuous relationship with my partner. Yes, and

972
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,720
Speaker 1: just being in a relationship. You explain in your special

973
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 1: you also need to lie and misrepresent yourself and trap somebody. Basically, basically,

974
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: once you get a guy, make sure he loses all

975
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 1: of his free will to do any of that. I

976
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: know you want to leave, but you don't have a choice.

977
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,439
Speaker 1: You're with me for life. I read the book chapter nine,

978
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,440
Speaker 1: not being able to leave for comedy. I may have

979
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 1: misrepresented some of the themes in the book, but not

980
00:56:00,880 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: even this represented exaggerated some of the things I didn't

981
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: do a uh, you know, false premise, But um no,

982
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: will you just dispel kind of what Ben is saying

983
00:56:10,680 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: and just say what the book? Because you always have

984
00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: a really good response when people are like it's because

985
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: sometimes I go, well, I guess, I don't know, as

986
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: I get mad about the book, because I'm like, okay,

987
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: so I'll just never drive again, I guess. So I'll

988
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: always just take forty five minutes to get somewhere fat

989
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: like slower because I have to let my boyfriend drive

990
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: because he's a man and I gotta let him do it.

991
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: And I get so mad, like I have to be

992
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: a fucking handmaid. So will you talk to that? So

993
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: it's it sounds like like a very like anti feminist book,

994
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,799
Speaker 1: But it's actually the contrary once you get past the

995
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: first chapter, and basically it just taught me that you

996
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: can't have the same like forces in a relationship. You

997
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: have to have the you're either the giver or the receiver,

998
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: and it's always got to like maintain the harmonious balance.

999
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: So that was a big one. The the I think

1000
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: the thing that really helped me was um, the three

1001
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: points that she makes about knowing what you want out

1002
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: of relationship and letting your partner know as well. So,

1003
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: you want exclusivity, we're only dating each other if their

1004
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: sex involved. You want continuity. This is something that we're

1005
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: gonna work on, and like, we're gonna it's continuity. We're

1006
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: gonna see each other every week, and you know it's

1007
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: going to be something that is consistent and um, longevity.

1008
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: We're both in it for the long run. I was

1009
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: waiting for the third and I was like, so, I

1010
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: think like that, like just just knowing and memorizing those

1011
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: three paragraphs about the three John Mayer albums how helped

1012
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: me get in a relationship with my now fiance, and UM,

1013
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: it just kind of set us up for success. You

1014
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: don't think that you would be with right now had

1015
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: nothing for that book. Hell no, oh my god, no

1016
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: way he would have left me a long would you be? Why?

1017
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,720
Speaker 1: Because the things that I would normally go crazy over

1018
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: in our relationship help. It just helped me not get

1019
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: to that point of like anger and instead get ahead

1020
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: of it, communicate my needs and just be like receptive

1021
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: of him making the effort after I gave him instruction

1022
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: for what my needs are and not left him guessing,

1023
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: which is what I used to do because I used

1024
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: to test guys all the time, like you should know

1025
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: what I want if you care about me, which is

1026
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: when did get that idea? When did that? How did

1027
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 1: that can come into the system without me? Because we

1028
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: feel like we know what you want and we try

1029
00:58:56,040 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: to meet those needs, So why don't But then why

1030
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: don't you tell us what we what you want? Like?

1031
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: That's the thing that bothers me, is that we'd like

1032
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: you to address a certain way that I like a

1033
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: TV dinner. Yeah, I love the name of that, you know.

1034
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: I guess My point is that if you don't know

1035
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: what we want, then why don't you fucking ask? Yeah? Brenda,

1036
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 1: Brenda would do this thing. She folded the clothes and

1037
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: then was waiting on me to to put him away,

1038
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:40,320
Speaker 1: and I just never did it because I didn't know

1039
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,200
Speaker 1: it was a test, but I guess. But then she's like,

1040
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm not testing you, but I'm like, I feels like

1041
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: a test, you know, like somebody's tests. You don't even

1042
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: know you're being tested. And then when you say it's

1043
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: a test, they say it's not a test. Well, what's

1044
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: doing here? Because I always do the laundry I folded

1045
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: and then I put it away. And she's like, I

1046
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 1: wonder if I didn't do this one thing, if it

1047
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: will ever gets done. And the answer is it wouldn't.

1048
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, on the pattern, I'm not gonna suddenly I'm

1049
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: not a detective coming home like Sherlock Holmes in my

1050
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: own house. Wait a minute, what's different than the usual pattern? Oh,

1051
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the laundry basket to the left of where normally is.

1052
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: It's not fair, it's not fair to you guys. But

1053
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 1: I do feel like there's sometimes where I'm just like,

1054
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 1: why don't why don't they ask more of what we need?

1055
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: Like why do we always have to tell them what

1056
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: we need? Like aren't they curious about how to please us?

1057
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: And like how to make us happier, like what could

1058
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: I do to make you feel more loved by me?

1059
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,959
Speaker 1: But men don't think about things like that, like I've

1060
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,920

1079
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: important You're easy to like not prioritize right, then you

1080
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: can know you're right. You're right. You may not use

1081
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 1: the words important, you're right. You gave my way actually

1082
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: made it to see, I made it seem a little

1083
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: less like important to me because I didn't want him

1084
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 1: to feel like this was some sort of test, even

1085
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: though it literally is a test, Like I didn't want him.

1086
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: I think it was like, this is fun, just um,

1087
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: but so important to me. Have you googled watched the

1088
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: love language of someone that doesn't fill out a love language?

1089
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure I know my love language is taking quizzes

1090
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:27,919
Speaker 1: about our relationship or yeah, I mean I have I

1091
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: my mom took it. It was so hilarious. I made

1092
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: my mom take it, and hers was I took it.

1093
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 1: Mine's like thirty five touch, which is like the leading

1094
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: like my number that's by the way, five o'clock. My

1095
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: mom's was zero percent touch. She wants no touch, And

1096
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, how do you want

1097
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: no touch? But I do think that it is when

1098
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: you take this quiz. It's really fun to take, by

1099
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: the way, and I'm not just try deck got everyone

1100
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 1: right now. It's really fun, like it's really easy it

1101
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: takes less than five minutes, and you learned a lot

1102
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: about yourself and you have fun along the way. You

1103
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: think you've gotten this far into the podcast. Yeah right,

1104
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: I can say so much. Um, you just did. You

1105
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:30,520
Speaker 1: just did. Let's go into final thought because we got

1106
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: to get through the rest of these smart things. Um, Andrew,

1107
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: what's the smartest thing you've ever done? Um? Probably stopped

1108
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: doing real estate because I wasn't good at it. I

1109
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: just and follow a passion instead of money. I guess

1110
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: I know that sounds cheesy, but yeah, stop trying to

1111
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: chase money as opposed to chase something that I actually like, enjoyed.

1112
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:58,040
Speaker 1: And that's probably the smartest thing I ever did. Um,

1113
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: I just did groast i ate actual ants one time

1114
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: off a log like you know, ants on a log

1115
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: with the peanut butter and the raisins. It's a very

1116
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: smart thing I've done. And why did you do that?

1117
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 1: Show the ants? Who the Mad King Is? It all

1118
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:28,479
Speaker 1: comes back? Andrew is a King of Romo. The Mad

1119
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: King now streaming on YouTube. Check it out. Ben Gleib's

1120
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 1: hour long special brand new, very topical of the times.

1121
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: You'll love it. Ben, what's the smartest thing you ever did. Wow, Man,

1122
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: it's hard. I'm usually thinking of the dumb. I'd have

1123
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 1: got a big list of dumb things I've done, right,

1124
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: But the smartest thing I've ever done, I don't know,

1125
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: it's it doesn't have to be the smartest thing, but

1126
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: let's just go with a smart thing, because I know

1127
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: my brain goes like if I can't think of the

1128
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: one thing, then why I can't, Like, there's not a gun, deerd,

1129
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: You're not gonna like be tested at some point on this. God,

1130
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the the smartest thing I've ever done is

1131
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: just killing it at this answer? You know what I mean?

1132
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm really one. Well, there's another way

1133
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: to answer this question, is like, what is something that

1134
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 1: from your life that if you had a child, you

1135
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:17,320
Speaker 1: would want them to make a similar decision for theirs.

1136
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: Just I think just realizing that that, like confidence, blood

1137
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: is ninety eight point six degrees fair enough, I can

1138
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: solve anybody's problem with cold, and you can all of

1139
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,080
Speaker 1: a sudden enjoy cold temperatures in a much different level

1140
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: of study with the ice man. The point is, um no,

1141
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: I think probably it's just realizing that, like confidence is fake,

1142
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: so you can create it whenever you want, and you

1143
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 1: don't need to be intimidated in social situation. That's more

1144
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: of like advice than it is a decision. If it

1145
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,240
Speaker 1: had to be a decision, it would be just wait,

1146
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: tell me, tell me about that, because that seems like

1147
01:05:56,800 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: they're you're you're onto something that I think a lot

1148
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: of people will be like, wait, do you what do

1149
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: you mean by that? Because so many people suffer with

1150
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:07,240
Speaker 1: social anxiety, feeling less than even myself, like insecurities. What

1151
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: do you mean by that? Like it? You know, being

1152
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: confident is what do you describe? How do you do that? How?

1153
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: How do you hack that? So? I mean I learned

1154
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: this because I grew up with a very severe speech problem,

1155
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: and it wasn't for me. Ever, I don't think physical

1156
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: grew up still a child, but I speak better now.

1157
01:06:27,560 --> 01:06:29,800
Speaker 1: I speak to get it back at you. I mean,

1158
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: in the whole wet matt flabby mouth to another hard

1159
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I was just running with your a leader joke. I

1160
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: think your mouth is wonderful, Andrew, one of the prettiest

1161
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,520
Speaker 1: moves I've ever seen of any man. Now, this is

1162
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: that confidence you're talking about? That right, that's that's right,

1163
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: that's right. Exactly what was your speech impediment? I had

1164
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: a severe stutter and a disfluency. So I don't not

1165
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 1: only stutter, but I couldn't make sounds come out of

1166
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: my vocal cords. A lot of my life. I couldn't

1167
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 1: even say hi to a friend passing me in the hallway.

1168
01:06:57,720 --> 01:07:00,320
Speaker 1: My vocal cords would shut down. I couldn't talk good.

1169
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 1: Where's that Ben when you need? I don't. I think

1170
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:07,520
Speaker 1: with that speech you didn't have any friends. Let's not

1171
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:14,040
Speaker 1: let's be on it. Someone's podcast and they're like, where's

1172
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: the bend that talks lest That's not ideal? No, No,

1173
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: I did. That's crazy. I mean that is, honestly so

1174
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,520
Speaker 1: the opposite of you. And it explains it. I mean

1175
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 1: oftentimes people that are so one way they come from

1176
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: the opposite so and it makes it makes sense. Like

1177
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: I used to have crippling stage right, and people like

1178
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: how could you? So? How how did that? How did that?

1179
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 1: When did that come to a head? And what did

1180
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: you do to you? Know? Well, your legs were weak

1181
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 1: from being anorexic. What crippling? Should we do? Another word

1182
01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: about ducks? Let's just quickly so Doug word, I love

1183
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: that you want to explain that joke sevenths. Andrew's favorite

1184
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: motivational book is The Seven Pussies of Highly Effective Ducks,

1185
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: and it's a very good book that talked about the

1186
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:18,679
Speaker 1: seven duck languages. Each pussy stands for a different duck language. Hey,

1187
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:20,680
Speaker 1: not bad for a guy that I don't have a

1188
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: mouth until fifteen. Wait then, wait, how did you overcome this?

1189
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm so I can't believe that. Yeah, so I couldn't

1190
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 1: talk a lot of my life and I realized I

1191
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 1: was seeing it wrong. And it leads to dealy to

1192
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: why confidence is something that you can always fake. Is

1193
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: that I always felt like you have intense pressure when

1194
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 1: you're called on to speak, when it's your turn to

1195
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: be perfect. You have to present perfectly and and you

1196
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: can't have any errors in the way you speak. And

1197
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: in fact, the opposite is truth that people have very

1198
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:51,679
Speaker 1: low expectations. You don't realize that, Like people are barely

1199
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: listening to you when you speak. If they're listening at all,

1200
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: they want to get maybe like a kernel of a message.

1201
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: They don't care how you're saying anything. They're not expecting.

1202
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Junior up there doing some soaring oratory.

1203
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,720
Speaker 1: They want to maybe get some nugget for themselves. They're

1204
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: barely paying attention, and so that reduces so much of

1205
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the tension I always felt when I was called on

1206
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 1: to speak or had to speak publicly. And then I

1207
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 1: also would just take a breath and realize, like, it

1208
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,800
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you're like, it only matters what you're saying,

1209
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: not how. And then you take a step further back

1210
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,600
Speaker 1: and realize, like, if you think what you're saying is

1211
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 1: so important, it's so insane. There's like eight billion humans

1212
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: and like trillions and quadrillions of creatures and beings on

1213
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 1: this planet, and you think that what you're saying, and

1214
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:36,240
Speaker 1: that's in a vast unnoble universe floating on a marble

1215
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,160
Speaker 1: through outer space. You think that not only what you

1216
01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: say are saying that one individual organism, but how you're

1217
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: saying it, the pauses you're taking means shipped to anybody.

1218
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 1: It's so vastly insignificant that it just smelt. Did you

1219
01:09:51,360 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: get mushrooms at such a young age? How t Yeah,

1220
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,240
Speaker 1: I was on and off through college, so it's better

1221
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: starting at eighteen, but then it was through Did you

1222
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: have like a psychedelic breakthrough because this seems like, you know,

1223
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,800
Speaker 1: getting into like you don't matter, your a speck of

1224
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: dust the world is like and you know that sounds

1225
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 1: like stuff that you achieved through some sort of uh

1226
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, ego death. What what was there a moment

1227
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: for you that it all broke or was it because

1228
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: it sounds like epiphany type thing? Yeah, maybe, I mean

1229
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:30,600
Speaker 1: I think probably we'd helped a lot, and probably a

1230
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:32,639
Speaker 1: little bit of mushrooms, but mushroom would have been later

1231
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:35,479
Speaker 1: in life, so the mushrooms it was, it was just

1232
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 1: weed maybe to some degree helped me see things differently

1233
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: and my brain kind of goes on crazy tangents. But

1234
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: I just realized like there was something weird because like

1235
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:44,799
Speaker 1: certain times of the year I could speak great through childhood,

1236
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 1: and then certain times I couldn't. And so I knew

1237
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,719
Speaker 1: it was like also like society based and like social

1238
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: environment based, and like I knew that at times when

1239
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: I felt confident, I could speak better at times when

1240
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: I was was it about you? Because there was something

1241
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: about like you could do it at some point, so

1242
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 1: there was you realized it wasn't in you the problem,

1243
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: It was something around you that was happening because I

1244
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 1: was seeing the world was wrong, because I knew there

1245
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 1: was times when I was fine and about social construct

1246
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 1: that that was affecting it and it wasn't within me.

1247
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 1: And so that's part of like how I was scary

1248
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:22,839
Speaker 1: because I couldn't speak well. Like in my bar Mitzvah,

1249
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: I like I could sing the tour portion where I

1250
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,759
Speaker 1: could always sing well because your vocal cords open and relaxed,

1251
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: but but for my speech, I was really really nervous

1252
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: about it. And then at my video at the party,

1253
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm like stammering, I'm like I'm here. It was like

1254
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: really intense and weird and and like I would just

1255
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: go up and down with that kind of stuff, and

1256
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,400
Speaker 1: I just I mean, it even came back once, like

1257
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: it officially kind of went away at the end of

1258
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: my college experience and then I started, you know, professionally

1259
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: pursuing entertainment and being a performer and comedian, and then

1260
01:11:54,920 --> 01:11:57,719
Speaker 1: it came back once. It only came back really once

1261
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 1: professionally live during an episode of Chelsea Lately on the

1262
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: Round Table. My speech problem came back hard and I

1263
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: couldn't talk suddenly, and I kept trying to make a

1264
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 1: point and I could not speak. It was And to

1265
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: set this up properly, you have to remember that that

1266
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,280
Speaker 1: show was pre cancel culture and it was the most

1267
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: inappropriate show on Earth, and you were allowed to like

1268
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: roast everybody for every inappropriate racial joke or anything. To

1269
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: set this up, And so I'm on the round table

1270
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: and it's Chelsea Handler there and then Bobby slur for

1271
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: Asians correct, right, Yeah, my brain really wanted to market

1272
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: the Asian community and I couldn't do it. They had

1273
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: all been used at that point. So you're trying to

1274
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: go up with a new one. Wait, so who's on

1275
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: the panel? Set this team's back? I'm on the panel

1276
01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: and his videos back right then too, I'm on the panel,

1277
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:53,679
Speaker 1: sitting in between Joe Coy and Bobby Lee and already

1278
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:57,560
Speaker 1: like pretty you know, intense and like or Asian performers,

1279
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: two of the top Asians, and and I'm there on

1280
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 1: the round table. I'm trying to make some joke and

1281
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: I cannot and I'm hitting a block and I'm like

1282
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:13,599
Speaker 1: and then and then just like looking at immediately Chelsea,

1283
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: like talker ever is like, oh my god, what's happening?

1284
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 1: Not a broadcast, right, now, what's happening? Joe Coy I've

1285
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: known Forever's like, you're trying out speech problems coming back?

1286
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: Oh no, And he's like, like it's okay, and they're

1287
01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 1: like all like hamd almost as kind of better that

1288
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,840
Speaker 1: they called out. Maybe what was happening? I don't know,

1289
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,679
Speaker 1: kind of yeah, but like and then Chelsea's like, holy

1290
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: sh it, should we get you a water? Like what's

1291
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 1: happening on the air? And I several times I couldn't

1292
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:46,320
Speaker 1: come back, but I call it my rope a dope

1293
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:50,720
Speaker 1: episode because I came back so hardcore and destroyed them

1294
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 1: seconds later. Then eventually I was able to get my

1295
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 1: breath and open the block up and came back strong,

1296
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: and I had two lines that I came back with.

1297
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,200
Speaker 1: I then said, after they're making fun of my each

1298
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 1: problem and all kind of closing on me, I said,

1299
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: that's okay. At least it's not as bad as these

1300
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: two guys were very excited to be here on Charisa

1301
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: right ray God, and it crushes the room. And then

1302
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: I happened to bring in my pockets for because I

1303
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: knew how to be on with them. I pull out

1304
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: to Fortune Cookies and I go, hey, in case you

1305
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: guys are hungry, and I throw the fortune on the

1306
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: table and it destroys the room and they take them

1307
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: out of like you son of a bitch, I'm hungry.

1308
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 1: They both eat the forkie and it was the best ending,

1309
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 1: but it was very frightening for a minute there. My god,

1310
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: how terrifying to have that happen on air. And I think,

1311
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 1: I really I feel like, as you're talking, I relate

1312
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 1: to this so much, and I also like I want

1313
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,040
Speaker 1: to even say back to you, like how do you

1314
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: I feel as a performer, and uh, when I'm putting

1315
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: together a stand up set or when I'm on when

1316
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm on a podcast, or like I should be funnier.

1317
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:58,880
Speaker 1: I need to choose every word, should be great, because

1318
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: I do feel like that that pressure is on me,

1319
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: like that people are expecting that like I go and

1320
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: I I sometimes come across comments where people say like,

1321
01:15:07,640 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: she's not good, she's not that funny, she just you

1322
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: know she They call me off for the things I

1323
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: know that about myself, and then they'll say this person

1324
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 1: is like, you know the difference between someone who has

1325
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: a great vocabulary who is able to express themselves so well,

1326
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,280
Speaker 1: and then someone who isn't And I feel like sometimes

1327
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: I do fall like could I be could I be

1328
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 1: aided in my kind of paralysis sometimes on certain shows

1329
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:34,160
Speaker 1: where I'm so intimidated? Could I be helped out by that? What?

1330
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: What mindsets could I get into of? Like what I

1331
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 1: say is not important, just think what I'm just like,

1332
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: how do you relax in those moments? Because I I

1333
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,639
Speaker 1: have that happened to me, Like when I did Conan's podcast,

1334
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:47,439
Speaker 1: Like I do not like my performance on podcast because

1335
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 1: I was so intimidated by Conan, so nervous, so just

1336
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: like having listened to so many people on their be

1337
01:15:55,240 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 1: like Milani's and you know, uh Mulaney really just like

1338
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: the hater, you know, like these great comics who have

1339
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: like every fucking line is funny. Everything word they choose

1340
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,920
Speaker 1: is there's no arms. They're just like so articulate and

1341
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 1: so funny. I felt like almost my level of being

1342
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 1: funny and relaxed was diminished by because I was so

1343
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: in my head of not about not being those those guys.

1344
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 1: What should I do next time? Well, I mean what

1345
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 1: I can tell you to that is this as a comedian, Uh,

1346
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 1: what I said earlier really doesn't apply you've got to

1347
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 1: be pretty perfect, and so yes, you do, you do,

1348
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: I would say that to be funny, you kind of do. Definitely,

1349
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: it's a much higher bar. It's a much higher but

1350
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:43,800
Speaker 1: you can definitely also remind yourself in the moment. Like

1351
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: I used to get so insanely nervous, like it was

1352
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 1: it was kind of stage fright mixed with my speech problem,

1353
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: where I would just feel this enormous weight and just

1354
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: remind yourself in that moment. And I've come to a

1355
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:55,600
Speaker 1: place that speech problem come back a little bit there,

1356
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 1: but just kind of get through because you don't care.

1357
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 1: Is that is that I've come to a place where

1358
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:03,080
Speaker 1: my heart rate doesn't even raise one beat a minute.

1359
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:04,600
Speaker 1: If I'm going to go on stage in front of

1360
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: an arena, you know, opening for some of the grades

1361
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: I've been able to open for, or on TV live

1362
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: to millions of people whatever, on the Today Show or something,

1363
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: and my heart rate doesn't even raise a beat because

1364
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: you just have to remind yourself. It doesn't matter in

1365
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,760
Speaker 1: the grand scheme. Like you know, you're funny. You've gotten

1366
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: to the place where you're one of the funniest, the

1367
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: most sought after guests. You know, you moments, Ben, I

1368
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: don't know that, and I think I'm a fraud, and

1369
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: I have all these feelings of like what am I

1370
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:32,120
Speaker 1: doing here? And it really like cripples me, Like I

1371
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: almost don't want to do these shows anymore where I

1372
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 1: have such reverence for the show I'm doing because I

1373
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: feel I have such bad showings on them, because I

1374
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 1: just I'm almost like gonna cry right now, because I

1375
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 1: just I feel paralyzed. I feel like I'm like someone

1376
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 1: off the street that just got pulled in and had

1377
01:17:50,400 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 1: a mic put in front of them as opposed to

1378
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 1: someone with like twenty something years experience, Like it's really

1379
01:17:55,880 --> 01:18:00,080
Speaker 1: it just feels like, uh, I don't I don't like

1380
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm in articulate right now even talking about it, Like

1381
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: I really can't get past that. And and to the

1382
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 1: point where, like I've said to myself, I'm not accepting

1383
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: any more of these things where I have such a

1384
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 1: high bar set for myself because I won't live up

1385
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: to it and I will. The whole time I was

1386
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,400
Speaker 1: on podcast, I could not relax. All I was thinking

1387
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: of was say something funny, be funnier. Oh my god,

1388
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,240
Speaker 1: riff on that think of what they're saying like I

1389
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 1: was not present at all and I don't know how

1390
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 1: to overcome it. Well that I'll thought about taking ethnicity

1391
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:32,680
Speaker 1: and whatever the ethnicity is, put stuff in your pockets.

1392
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: So like, for for coning, you can do shepherd potatoes, yea.

1393
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 1: Next for a Jewish guy throwing a couple of mots

1394
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: of balls, you know, a black guy. But yeah, we

1395
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 1: can talk off air about this, but I really no

1396
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 1: I can help you with that. Yeah, I really do

1397
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: like sledge while Andrew keeps sending racial slurs through the

1398
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:03,640
Speaker 1: back around. I learned it from you, Ben. I pre

1399
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,559
Speaker 1: was ten years ago on the show where you were

1400
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: allowed to say like that. I prefaced it, so he'll

1401
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: be taken out of context in a clipse and it

1402
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:14,600
Speaker 1: will be used against you in the future and he

1403
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 1: will not be able to run for prowns of that.

1404
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: But I don't want anyway. That is my campaign to

1405
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:25,600
Speaker 1: keep you alive, is that I appreciate that, Ben, change

1406
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 1: no context. So I mean, look, you have to realize

1407
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,360
Speaker 1: it's just counterproductive to have those thoughts, So you just

1408
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 1: have to shut off that line of thinking. That's what

1409
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 1: to what I meant about when I said confidence is

1410
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 1: faked confidence. Is you have to remind yourself that the

1411
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 1: whole reason confidence exists is confidence. You can never You

1412
01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: don't need confidence for something that you know for sure

1413
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: is going to go well, right. You don't need confidence

1414
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 1: to flip a light switch on because you know for

1415
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 1: a fact the light it's gonna come out when you

1416
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: flip it. So confidence only exists on things that you

1417
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: don't know for sure. In the whole presupposition of it

1418
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 1: is that I'm going to kill it at this thing,

1419
01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: even though you don't know for sure, you just believe

1420
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: that you will. Because it's more so, look at things

1421
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 1: like a light switch, look at them like walking down

1422
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,879
Speaker 1: the hallway, like things that I know are already foregone

1423
01:20:20,880 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 1: conclusions that is going to be successful. Don't don't just

1424
01:20:25,840 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: already know that it's going to be great and therefore

1425
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: it will be right. You're there for a reason, and like,

1426
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 1: remind yourself. All these performers have had such insecurities. Look

1427
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 1: at Conan's first two three seasons doing his late night

1428
01:20:37,880 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 1: talk show where he is like even now in the

1429
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: top of the game, and Bill Maher, I'm sure have

1430
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: the same things, and you go on these shows, it's

1431
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: like these are we are all people that came from

1432
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: this like very insecure background that brought the place where

1433
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,439
Speaker 1: we can share what we do with the world. And

1434
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:57,800
Speaker 1: so it's just you have to stop your brain from

1435
01:20:57,840 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: thinking that, and you have to fake it till you

1436
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 1: make just pretend that you're going to kill it, because

1437
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:06,640
Speaker 1: that's what it's not gonna That's what everybody That's what

1438
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 1: everybody does. I like, that's the takeaway. The smartest thing

1439
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: ever did was asked Ben to articulate how he overcame

1440
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,760
Speaker 1: that and how to help me, because I honestly, if

1441
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: I just think of things like the light switch was

1442
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,680
Speaker 1: a great little trick you just gave me of like

1443
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't go into a bathroom going like I really

1444
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 1: hope this goes well, like searching the wall being like

1445
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to funk this up. Everything's writing on

1446
01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: this Like you don't do that in so many situations.

1447
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: Treat the things that you get that you do feel

1448
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: that way about like a light switch. Just light switch it.

1449
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,400
Speaker 1: And you're in your career where it is true for you.

1450
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been invited back on Conan's podcast. You've

1451
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: already been there every show. You're gone, You're going on

1452
01:21:45,479 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 1: more and more shows, So you have to now look

1453
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: from now on, look at your talent and even things

1454
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: on talk shows or improvise things as a light switch.

1455
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 1: You already are there. You don't have to worry about

1456
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: it anymore. You're already at that level. So just the

1457
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,479
Speaker 1: light bulbs. Yeah, what if it's one of those weird

1458
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: switches that has like the like the dots on the

1459
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: side and it goes like up and down and you

1460
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,200
Speaker 1: don't know like if you hold it or if you're

1461
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 1: supposed to press it once right now? Actually, all right, well,

1462
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:22,840
Speaker 1: I'm I'm guest saying kind of ruins the whole things.

1463
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 1: I am guest toasting Jimmy Kimmel Alive on and so

1464
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to use this even though I'm not nervous

1465
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,000
Speaker 1: about it. I feel like there's going to be something

1466
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 1: at some point that day when I'm doing that show

1467
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:35,960
Speaker 1: of being like how did I get here? I'm going

1468
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 1: to funk this up in some way. Um, So I'm

1469
