00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: start to see pass. Are you circumcised? Fully sir? Okay? Yeah.

49
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: One of my camera guys yesterday was telling us, which

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: sounds like a name for a cock he's got. He's like,

51
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: we're all talking about like how we were somehow we

52
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: were in a van in New York talking about our dicks.

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: It happens and I was like, yeah, I'm two out

54
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: of the four people were not circumcised. And I was like,

55
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: that's fucking gross, right, And then I was like, yeah, no,

56
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm circumcised, but I'm like seventy five percent circumcised. Okay,

57
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: what does that mean? He said that, like they cut

58
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: his dick and then they like reattached a part of

59
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: the skin, and then he started to pull up my

60
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: pictures of other dicks that look like his, dick, and

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: I was like, Bro, that's a rough fucking go for

62
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: a young lady that's got a look at that mutilated

63
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: fucking meat finger down there. Honestly, even when I'm watching porn,

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how hot the girl is. If the

65
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: guys uncircumcised, I'm like, gross, can't do it? Next video?

66
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: What percentage of gay does it make me that I

67
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: have to have a nice dick in the video. Here's

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: the thing, here's what I'm about to tell you right now.

69
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: Back by science. I just watched this was maybe a

70
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: few months ago. I just watched a neuroscientist talk about

71
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: that men straight men ninety nine percent of the time

72
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: will fast forward or go to the next porn video

73
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: if the man's penis isn't big, because what excites a man.

74
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: A man's sexual part of the brain are tits and

75
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: a dick. That's what it wants. It wants the big

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: breaths and a big dick because the subcont the little

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: dick subconsciously makes the man feel insecure because they start

78
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: to think about their own size and it takes them

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: out of it. They want big, big, huge dick with

80
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: big boobs. So hypothetically, the straight man and would have

81
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: the highest climax off of transgender shemail porn. That's the neuroscientist.

82
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: That's the neuroscientist that I hired. Give give that lecture. No,

83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: that's a neuroscientist that was backed by science, dude, So

84
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: it's weird you bring that up that way. Wait wait,

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: so hypothetically a straight this is this is real, this

86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: is backed by science. This. I saw a Ted talk

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: of a guy I was also an event of my friends,

88
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: and I was like, let's look up Ted talks on

89
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: that can verify that we're not gay because we like

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: she mails. So we looked into it and this is true.

91
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: You can YouTube this. It literally. The science has said

92
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: they did a whole study, you know, in Sweden or

93
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: one of those crazy freaky tee countries where they were

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: like that men got most excited by a big penis

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: and a big pair of boobs because that in the

96
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: core of the brain, you want the big boobs, obviously,

97
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: you want you know, we know why and and do

98
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: you know why actually big boobs, why we're why we're

99
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: attracted to big boobs and a big But do you

100
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: know the scientific reason for that? I don't. I didn't

101
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: know there was one. I enjoy nice big breasts, but

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: I would probably fancy myself and ask guy, But you

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: know I like both. Okay, here's what it is. So

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: the reason why you even ask. The reason why scientists

105
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: say you like men, we like big boobs and a

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: big butt, white hips is the boobs one is because

107
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: what we're subconsciously Neanderthal brain seeing baby has milk. Our

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: babies will have milk to feed off. Big breast, right

109
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: and comfortable pillow to lay on now now, But hips,

110
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: why birthing canal gives us subconstantly our chance, our baby's chances,

111
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: the best chance of survival. So we associate the butt

112
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: with the hips. That's the reason why. And that's also

113
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: the reason why women like this all makes sense big guys,

114
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: why they like attract to a taller guys because in

115
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: her brandy, she's saying he can guard me from animals.

116
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: We can go out and hunt, he can go out

117
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: and hunt. And that's also why men are attracted to

118
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: more physical attributes and beauty and women aren't because what

119
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: a woman needs is a man who's all they really

120
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: care about is if they're smarter enough. Because you have

121
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: to again we live in a different world now, but

122
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: this is neanderthal brain that we still have, you know,

123
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: are connected to the man's has to be smarter. That's

124
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: why they're less about physical qualities, because you have to

125
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: be cunning to go out and hunt and find food

126
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: and perspect right where the woman is not going out

127
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: and doing it. So we don't care if she's smarter enough.

128
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: We just say them big old tit as for our

129
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: baby's breast milk and the big cock and a big

130
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: cock and a nice and a nice, nice wide burthen canal.

131
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: That's what it is. If Kim Kardashian had a cock,

132
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: I'd be in have you seen? Have you seen? My

133
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: wife follows this makeup artist, Nikita Dragon's she's an Asian uh,

134
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: makeup influencer, but she's she's trans right, okay, but like

135
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: fucking smoking okay, but it's like it's almost like crazy. Yes,

136
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: you know what I did? Actually, my girl told me

137
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: to look into Nikita Dragon, and I did, and we

138
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: reached out to do her podcast or if I could

139
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: go on her so she'd come to mind and she

140
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: I believe her reps just sent a one word answer,

141
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: which was no, I'm almost that's where I know her

142

Speaker 1: watch lesbian poorn. No, there's nothing in lesbian porn for me. Nothing.

146
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: There's nothing because I like to at least feel like

147
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm the dude that's you know, fucking yes. Yeah, and

148
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: I almost I try to come my come time. I

160
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: It is for people who don't know you, how did

161
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: you cause did you kind of give us kind of

162
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: a Rundown on how you kind of started to get

163
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: your buzz going in the in the comedy scene. Was

164
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: it the Opie and Anthony Show. Opie and Anthony was

165
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: definitely big for me. I started stand up in two

166
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, twenty ten, okay, And then you know,

167
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: it's interesting like I went that route of you know,

168
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: I got on Guy Code, Code and Girl Code, which

169
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: was was big, like big show by the way, Scholes

170
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: was on there as well, Charlemagne, Broh Schultz, Charlemagne. Ah gosh,

171
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: there's like so many people that came from that. Yeah,

172
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: man Aquafina, Like all these people came out of it,

173
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: Nicole Bayer and there's like literally, if you look, it's

174
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: like wild little Duvall, You're like, all these people are

175
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: on Guy Coding, Girl Code and really nobody the biggest

176
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: one with Charlotmagne, Charlemagne and Duval were you know, pretty

177
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: pretty famous. But by of course, other than that, nobody

178
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: really had a career. It was like all our starting

179
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: off points Pete Davidson. So it's like, you know, we

180
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: did that show and that listen. That definitely got us

181
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: to a point, got us in the clubs, got us know,

182
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: But it still didn't get you to like you still

183
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: weren't like we weren't. None of us were really selling

184
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: tickets or or you know, on the road, because that's

185
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 1: really the barometer of a comic. You could be on

186
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: this TV show, on that TV show and do that,

187
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: but can you sell tickets? But because selling tickets is

188
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: it's not only it's not only to other comics, but

189
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: also just it's a world thing. It's like there's no

190
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: smoking mirrors with tickets sales. There's a lot of smoking

191
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: mirrors with television. You could be on a hit, Oh

192
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: I got a CBS show, I got this Shawman. No,

193
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: it gives you. But guess what, nobody knows who you are. Nobody,

194
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: nobody cares to purchase the ticket. But there's no because

195
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: because you could make you know, the New York poster

196
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: whomever could write an article about anyone saying that the

197
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: next big whatever, and it's like, it's bullshit. If no

198
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: one's at your shows, that if the people come, and

199
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: that's how you know, So the people really weren't coming

200
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: until really I started to do podcasting and the internet,

201
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: and I had to kind of fail uh in television

202
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: to learn that because I had. I had my daughter

203
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: seven now, she was about six months old at the time.

204
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: I had a sitcom with CBS, a pilot film, the

205
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: whole thing. You know. I met Dulp people at Chaz

206
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: commentary from Bronxtail. Uh. He played my father and the

207
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: show Diane Guerrero played my love interest from Orange Is

208
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: the New Black and and a bunch of other stuff

209
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: and uh. And then I thought I was gonna be

210
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, the next Ray Romano or the CBS was

211
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: telling me You're gonna be this and that, and then

212
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: the show didn't go, just failed, did not did not go.

213
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: I spent a year in my life put everything I

214
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: had into it was going back and forth to La,

215
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: time away from my family, and then you know, missed

216
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: moments with my daughter's life. And I was like, well,

217
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: but this will be good. We'll move to LA because

218
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: I was following this you know route of the print. Yeah,

219
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: Night Seinfeld, ninth Bill Cosby, all these guys, and and

220
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: it didn't go. And I said, well, shit, now I

221
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: got a daughter, a young daughter, you know that, I

222
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: have a life here. I got a girl, I had

223
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: a step son. I was like, I need to make money,

224
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: so I said, I made a deal with myself. When

225
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: it didn't go I said, I said, I'm not going

226
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: to allow myself ever again in my career to not

227
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: be in control. I'm never going to put my fate

228
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: of my career in my family, someone else, in someone

229
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: else's hands. The only people I will give it to

230
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: is the audience, is the fans. So I said, find

231
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: a way to give your put your career in the

232
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: hands of your fans. And that's when I turned to

233
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: the internet and podcasting, and it's really it was going good,

234
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: going good, and then it's weird like that when the

235
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: pandemic happened. You know a lot of people kind of

236
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: career life got put on pause. But that's when my

237
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: career like got to the next level. Yeah, because everybody,

238
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: the whole world just sitting in front of computer, same

239
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: thing with Schultz. Schultz exploded in the pandemic. So it's

240
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where I still and I

241
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: live by that now. And now I am going to

242
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: do some some TV stuff, but it's all on my

243
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: own terms. I'm like, yo, I don't want to go

244
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: to LA I don't want I want to do a

245
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: whole If I'm going to do TV. It's got to

246
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: be out of New York because now I have the power,

247
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: because because my fans, because my careers in the hands

248

250
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: a Patreon and everything is being controlled through my way.

251
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: So now I can tell you know, now I can

252
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: dictate my own terms, where a lot of times with

253
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: TV you can't. The corporate person will say, well, you

254
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: can't do this because you know they have all the

255
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: bargaining chips. But now I can say, well, listen, if

256
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: we don't do it my way, no album, I don't. Guy. Yeah,

257
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: it's and and and it's very respectful, but it's like,

258
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: there's no reason I need to do your show other

259
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: I have everything. I'm only going to do what I

260
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: want to do. That's a great position to be in life. Yeah,

261
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: I sit on my couch or or or or studio

262
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: very close to my house, say exactly what I want

263
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: to the fans that want to hear it. They come

264
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: and buy tickets to my show, and we have a

265
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 1: happy little family. And to be honest with you, and

266
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm fine with this. It's like even somebody like my

267
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: mother would be like, oh, why don't you want to

268
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: do this show at that show, because even she doesn't understand, like,

269
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: I lose money doing that. So not only is it freedom,

270
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: you know, comedically, which is the most important, but financially

271
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I make way more money doing

272
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: it my way, sitting on my couch being I don't

273
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: miss it. I barely miss any events in my daughter's

274
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: life unless I'm on the road, because I'm like, I don't.

275
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go away and do things. Don't. There's

276
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: time is time is so much more valuable to me

277
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: than money. It's the greatest currency. It is the greatest currency.

Speaker 1: I don't need, you know, I think about money in

286
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: I'll do that. I'll hold flee that opportunity. Similar opportunity

287
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: is there twenty years from now when I'm older and

288
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: my kids don't want to hang out with me anyway.

331
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: the movie with their comedic hero listen. For me, I

332
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: just thought about it, right, and I was just like,

333
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: can you say who it is? Kevin Hart? No? No, no no,

334
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: I know it was Bill Berr. Okay, Oh well shit, yeah?

335
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: And and and and and and you know, it was

336
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: one of those things where I was like, yo, like,

337
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: I I is that worth six weeks away from my kids?

338
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: That worth missing six track practices a birthday? You know? Uh?

339
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: Is it worth? Uh? Three movie nights? Is it? Is? It?

340
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: Is it worth all that? And I was like, you know,

341
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: we're not struggling financially right now or anything we want.

342
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: And I and you know what's great. You know what's

343
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: the best part about all this too, is I can

344
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: have say what I want right to my fans who care,

345
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: have some financial freedom and flexibility to my fans give me.

346
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: And the best part is I also have my anonymity.

347
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: When I walk down the street, I get noticed maybe

348
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: two or three times. But it's a beautiful thing. But

349
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: it's like, but even if I did do even if

350
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: I said something out of context on a tweet, right, nobody,

351
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: no one's coming to me. It doesn't care. They'd be like, oh,

352
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: what does he have a fucking podcast where he sits

353
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: down with T T. Jerry and Chrissy Cass. They'd be like,

354
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: this is not big enough. Now. If you get in

355
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: a movie, if you get on a big take, now

356
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: they start to want to they have shit to take

357
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: from you now. But if you don't give them that,

358
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: then what do they have to take? They had something

359
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: where they were on your ass recently, you were on TikTok. Yeah,

360
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: was it like a Latin joke or something? I don't think.

361
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: I think I think people took out of context and

362
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: they don't realize you're married to a Latin woman. Yeah,

363
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: so that but it's interesting, So that happened. You know,

364
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: the Mexican community was coming after me, and I understood

365
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: the wording of that joke because basically what I was

366
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: trying to say was it's basically it was a whole

367
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: made up scenario. So what I was trying to say

368
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: was is that t T. Jerry, who if you don't know,

369
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: she's on my podcast. She's transgender Latino woman did twenty

370
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: years in prison, you know, Puerto Rican. Like she's like,

371
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's my wife's uncle and she's

372
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: actually my kid's godmother now and you know whatever, she's

373
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: my family and so so we you know, say wild

374
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: shit on the pod together. But we were saying that

375
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: there was a guy was fixing my friend, family friend

376
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 1: was fixing an air conditioner unit in my in my attic,

377
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: and his foot went through the ceiling right, So I

378
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: was like, and he said, he was like, he was like,

379
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: oh shit, he goes, I'm sorry. I was like, yeah, whatever,

380
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 1: just patch it up. And then and then he goes

381
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: and then he goes. He was like, he's Spanish, but

382
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, I don't have my papers. I

383
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: don't have my papers and then like so we were

384
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: just like joking around like that and all laughing. So

385
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: then I went on the podcast the next day. And

386
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: that's what it is, like, you take scenarios like that

387
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: and you make bits of it. That's even in a podcast,

388
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: people like, hey, what you said about X, Y and

389
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: Z that you know sometimes my family called me like

390
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: that's not true. I'm not This isn't therapy, right, doing

391
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: a show, so we're entertaining people. So what happened was

392
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: I said on the podcast, I said, oh, you know,

393
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: like a Mexican worker felt through my ceiling yesterday, and

394
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I was like, you know,

395
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: he said that his neck hurt. And then T. T.

396
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: Jerry went up there and was like, I said that

397
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: he felt through this. What I meant to say was

398
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: he fell through the ceiling. And then twenty minutes later,

399
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he said it's neck hurt. And

400
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: then T. T. Jerry went up the stairs like, oh,

401
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: your neck hurt. Where's your papers? And then he was

402
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: like I don't have papers and he was like th

403
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: bah like that. So but the way that TikTok came

404
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: out was I didn't say the twenty minute part and

405
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: I just did a word right. So it sounded like,

406
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: especially if you don't know me, sounds like this white

407
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: guy is here talking about the Latino community and all

408
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: the It got to the point where like people are like,

409
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: somebody goes, we found the worker. We're gonna we're gonna

410
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: found him. Some lady some like famous Mexican American attorney

411
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: or I guess famous on TikTok was like we messaged me.

412
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: They're like, we found the worker. We are going to

413
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: represent him for free or assist grants. I was like,

414
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: the worker is literally a dummy from Staten Island who

415
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: was a family friend. Like what, there's no work for them?

416
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: You didn't fud there's no worker. So I texted his

417
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: name is Anthony. I was like anybody reached out to.

418
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: He was like I don't even have his cell phone,

419
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: like you know, like so like it's just like stupid

420
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: and then these people attack. So but then it's interesting

421
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: because it's just a micro cosm like social media. It's

422
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: just a microcosm people because you think they're like, oh,

423
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: people were like sending me like death threats. Right, and

424
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: then I did shows coincidentally, I think three weeks later

425
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: in in the not the Irvine was Yeah, it was

426
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: the Irvine improv. Yah. It's a huge Mexican of course

427
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: community in that area. Bro. The producer, I'm sorry, the

428
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: manager of the club you know is beautiful sold out shows,

429
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: thanking to people of Irvine for of course, you know,

430
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: it's like all the shows put together. It's like three

431
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: thousand tickets. It's like a big ass venue. Like I

432
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: did six six shows, five hundred people each show. He

433
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: told me he was like, other than Felipe A Sparza,

434
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: who's a huge Mexican media, La goes, you have the

435
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: most Mexican fans I've ever seen in this venue, and

436
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: all of them love none of them even, none of

437
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: them even saw that TikTok or barely any of them, kid,

438
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: And the ones that did were like, like, yo, it's

439
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: fucking hilarious. That's the thing about the internet is like

440
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: you can't take it too serious because it's always the

441
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: really loud minority and like you always think in your head,

442
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: everybody saw this, when you're really not that many people

443
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: in your real life or fans really actually give a

444
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: fuck or yeah, because you have to also understand, you

445
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: have to understand the mindset of someone on social media.

446
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: For you to even both ways and listen, it's all good.

447
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: I you know, will appreciate it, like whatever, But for

448
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: you to comment negatively on someone's Instagram or TikTok publicly

449
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: or positively, it's a little bit like most people don't

450
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: give a fuck at all, Right, most people are like, yeah,

451
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: I just move on with my shit. Like I would

452
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: comment on something you because we know each other. But

453
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: for random people to comment or send you DMS positive

454
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 1: or negative is a little like it's just strange. And

455
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: most most people, most people don't care. Most people didn't

456
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: even see that TikTok, or they did, they didn't give

457
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: a shit, and they bought a ticket because they liked

458
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: me from other things, or they didn't buy a ticket.

459
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: They don't like me for everything. So the people that

460
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: get so wrapped up. So actually a step that I've

461
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: taken is and I understand, you know, not everyone can

462
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 1: do this. I get it to be in a fortunate position.

463
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: But I have now given the keys to my all

464
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: my social media, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, everything to someone else,

465
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: to a guy who works for my management company. I

466
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: know him very well. He has the passwords to everything.

467
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: I purposely told him do not give. I don't want

468
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: to know. I don't want to have access into my

469
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: own social media. You you know, if somebody like you

470
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: reached out and he was like yo, and then he'll

471
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: send it to me, I'm like, give him my number,

472
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: tell him to text me. We'll do things like that.

473
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: But I'm like, I don't want to know because it

474
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: is a thing. A lot of people talk about negative

475
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 1: comments and how it messes with your brain chemistry one

476
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent accurate. So do positive ones? Positive ones take

477
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: you out into this egotistical state where you aren't who

478
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: you really are. So I said, you know what, I

479
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: don't need it anymore. It's built up to me where

480
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: it's comfortable, like you know, whatever, I however many you know,

481
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: one hundreds thousands are on there, it's comfortable enough for me.

482
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: It's a ticket selling apparatus for me. I tell my

483
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: guy what to post every day, give him the video,

484
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: tell him the caption. So it is my writing and

485
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: my work, of course, but I don't have any I

486
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: don't know who's saying them. Even after shows, there would

487
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: be a thing where I would be paralyzed. After shows.

488
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: You have a good show. Check the thirty fifty one

489
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: hundred DMS. Girls, guys, I want to hang out. I

490
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 1: want to take you to bar and I'd be, oh

491
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: my god, you almost have. You know, sometimes too many options,

492
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: too much choice is not freedom's you're in prison with

493
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: too many choices. That's that's a thing where It's like

494
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: I felt like the less I have, the less people

495
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: that have access to me, the freer I am. So

496
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: I was like, now, the only people that have access

497
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: to me is if you have my number or my email,

498
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: if you're a personal friend or family member, then we

499
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: can talk. Other than that, there's a layer, there's someone,

500
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: a buffer in front of it. And bro, It's made

501
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: everything in my life so much better. From relationship with

502
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: my girl, relationship with my kids, my body. I've lost

503
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 1: like twenty five pounds fasting working out because I'm not

504
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sucked into tocasonally phone, I'm not sucked into

505
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: the toxicity of it. Even you know, yes, yes, women,

506
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: you know all that stuff, you know, because sex is

507
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: an addiction, like anything else that gets you in trouble.

508
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: Of course, comparison, you know, my one of my favorite

509
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: quotes I just did a video about it from Teddy Roosevelt,

510
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: who says, well, oh my fault, you know these guys crying.

511
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: One of my favorite quotes from Teddy Roosevelt is is

512
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: a comparison is the thief of joy? Oh yes, it's

513
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: the worst. Yeah. So I don't compare myself to my peers.

514
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: I don't know what my peers are doing. I'm happy

515
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: for whatever they're doing. I only I compare me to me.

516
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: Even on social media, sometimes you compare you to you,

517
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 1: and that's not good. Either. You'll look at a picture

518
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: or video of yourself from ten months ago and be like,

519
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: why don't Why don't I look like that anymore? Or

520
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: I was more popping back then. It's all bullshit. So

521
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,239
Speaker 1: I just stay for me. I've made a decision. I

522
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: only care. I also don't want someone on the other

523
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: side of the world to influence my day. I don't.

524
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: They don't know me, I don't know them. So I

525
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: made another choice where I was like, I'm only going

526
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: to deal with the opinions of the people in the

527
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,719
Speaker 1: room with me or my friends and family, those people

528
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: I would care about if I'm being a physical presence

529
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: or a friends, but some other person writing something on

530
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: YouTube or Instagram, I don't give it. I don't give

531
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: it my headspace anymore. And some people are strong enough

532
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: to say, well, I just won't look I wasn't. I

533
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: had to just look myself in the mirror and say,

534
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: you're too much of a pussy Chris, you need to

535
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: get rid of it. So I just I didn't delete

536
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: it because I you know, again, it's a ticket selling

537
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: out there, it's part of your but I don't have

538
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: any access to it. So like, if you DM me

539
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: people in my life who you know, communicating with, who

540
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: do have my number? Like, yo, are you mad at me?

541
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: You don't respond to my dms anymore? I'm like, bro,

542
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: you gotta text me. I don't have any information. I

543
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: don't even have a way into that anymore. And you know,

544
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: I know that you know that not everybody has to

545
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: do that, But for me, I've only seen positive change

546
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: since I've gotten less, like less on social media and

547
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: more focusing on the people in front of me. Yeah.

548
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: The screen time thing, when you look at your screen time,

549
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a rude awakening you're life. Fuck,

550
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: I said, how much time looking at this fucking thing? Yeah? Yeah,

551
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, and you know it's weird. It's because

552
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, my head is up more, I'm

553
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: looking around more. You know, there's been times where you know,

554
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: I would even see somebody's you know, a peer of minds,

555
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: a great video that they posted or whatever, and I'm like,

556
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: I'll call my guy right away, Like yo, we gotta

557
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: make something, like you know, and then that making something, yeah,

558
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 1: maybe would have pushed things a little further or maybe not.

559
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: But in order to make that, I then would have

560
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: to skip out on dinner with my family. Where now

561
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: I do my work for the day, I spent my

562
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: time and then it's done, and then I and then

563
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: whatever happens happens, like whatever it may be may be

564
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: because I'm like, you know, you only get one spin

565
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: around this planet. So I'm like, I'm like, I don't

566
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: want to. The thing that I know you'll never get

567
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: back is time. And especially you know, for those of us,

568
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: of our children, I'm like, I'm never gonna get They'll

569
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: never be little again. There will be a time where

570
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: they don't they don't want us. Yeah, they're gonna be

571
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: like you're gross, go away, you're cringey. Yeah. And I'm like, listen,

572
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: you got hot friends, man, you know, like they're nineteen,

573
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: bring them over. Yeah, no, no, no, no, but but

574
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: but so right now though, I mean listen, and of

575
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: course it's like, you know, you gotta work. I'm happy

576
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: to work. My my career makes me happy. You know,

577
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: you got we have to be happy first, So we

578
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: can make the rest of our families happy. But I

579
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: right now, I'm just like yeah, man, like I uh,

580
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, I pick and choose what it is I

581
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: want to do and and uh. But the getting off

582
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: social media has helped me like tremendously. I genuinely in

583
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: my heart believe that whatever it is, fifty years from now,

584
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: social media will be looked at as toxic and cancerus

585
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: as smoking cigarettes were back in the day. Like I

586
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a similar thing. It's a

587
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: different thing. It's not causing lung cancer, right, but it

588
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: is causing a decay in society. And I would a

589
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: laser depression depression I cannot. I would. I would imagine

590
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: I would be willing to bet everything that suicide rates

591
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: being as high as av ours is directly linked to

592
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: social media. And I think that the people at these

593
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 1: social media companies know that. And I think that it's

594
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's an algorithm. It's they're feeding on

595
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: our our social capabilities. Is it's money to them, so

596
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: that they they're they're they're gambling on you know what

597
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna are, you know, predicting our moves and making

598
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 1: money off it. So I get it, but I don't

599
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: want to be a part of it anymore, you know,

600
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: or as little of a stop man. Yeah, what, I

601
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: kill myself tonight. Just blow my head off, Jesus yo,

602
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,960

656
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: obviously heavily in the music game, it's an interesting thing. Society.

657
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: Comics talk at this. When I think about this a lot,

658
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: it's like a comic, right, will get scrutinized for word,

659
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: you know, this joke or that joke or you know,

660

Speaker 1: On who does rap lyrics about killing his ex wife

663
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,600

664
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: gets a pass and and and comics don't. It's it's

665
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: this thing in society that no one can really explain,

666
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: and I think that it's interesting, Like you know, like

667
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: like sometimes I feel like yo, as as as a

668
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: white guy, sometimes I'm like yo, man, especially in this

669
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: like if I say anything, oh, homophobe, You're a racist,

670
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: and I'm like yo. Honestly, the most homophobic racist people

671
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 1: I've ever met my life are not white, dude. They

672
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: are Latino and black. Some of the Latino and black

673
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: people i've met him like, well, are you a Nazi?

674
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: You can't say that, you know, but it's true. You're

675
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: so right. No, It's like, I'm like, but I'm the

676
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: fucking bad guy. I'm like, holy shit, Like you can't.

677
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: You can't. Most homophobic people in my life are definitely

678
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: people of color. Yeah, a who hundred percent, dude. Some

679
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: of the shit that I've heard at family barbecues on

680
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: my girl. So and I'm like, I literally I want

681
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: to call my sanatar. I'm like, I'm like, I'm gonna

682
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm contacting the police. But you know, I'm the one

683
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: with fucking Hitler head, so I'd be in trouble for it.

684
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: But I'm like, but I'm like, yo, But it's one

685
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: of those things where but see, that's the thing. That's

686
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: the thing I think too, is you know, getting you know,

687
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: dating outside your race, you realize, you know, yes, racism race,

688
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: I understand that, but it's really tribalism, that's what it is.

689
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: It's like people want to just they feel safe with

690
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: people that look like that and sound like them and

691
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: come through the same struggles as them. So that's why

692
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, you'll have I believe, like you know, say,

693
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: like you know, sometimes you have like Latino people that

694
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: like say the N word, and you'll have a white person,

695
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: Well how come they can say the ndword and I can't, Like, Well,

696
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: because the Latino and black struggle is very similar in

697
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: this country, where the white struggle is different. So that's why.

698
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: So it's a tribalism. They've become a tribe where they've said, hey,

699
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: this it's always a white person that's that's mad about it.

700
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: Always Yeah, yeah, it's a white lady, yes thirty seven, Yeah,

701
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: I got a few cats. Yeah, well, I like it's funny,

702
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: like as like, I guess because I, you know, have

703
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: Aleena Latino culture. I always think that too. I'm like,

704
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: why do white people care? I'm like, just dude, I

705
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: want to tell white people just shut the fuck up.

706
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: It's that guilt shit, right, Yeah, dude, It's not your

707
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: job to police everybody's feelings. I'm like, just shut up. Yeah,

708
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: you're not the bar of what what's offensive? Yeah, like

709
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: if a white person is more offended than the person

710
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: the joke's actually about, Like it's probably a good joke. Yeah,

711
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's one of those you know, it's funny.

712
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: I was in an and it's crazy and I didn't

713
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,480

Speaker 1: it was funny like and sometimes I'm like, yoah, I

751
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 1: should have just did the joke man on a comic.

752
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: But then I was like, yoh, I love sway and

753
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 1: that it cost you your friendship for a few minutes.

754
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: You did it, yeah, exactly what it costed my friendship

755
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: for about six months. And I'd be like, come on,

756
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: come on, you know right yeah yeah, but but but

757
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where I remember that

758
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: moment being like yo uh, but but yeah, man, I

759
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: think too. With comedy, you know, it's the beautiful thing

760
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: about being a comic is my show's man. I got it.

761
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: The thing that one of the things I'm most proud of.

762
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: It's very culturally diverse arty. It's like a community college.

763
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: When you come to my shows. Everybody's out there, all

764
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: different religions, races. It's it's dope. So because I think,

765
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: you know, comedy is one of those things where it's

766
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: like we just go up there confident with the jokes.

767
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: Comedy is not supposed like when people get mad at comics,

768
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: there's such fucking nerds because it's like the comic is

769
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: the member of society. It's supposed to say the thing

770
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: sposed to anything nobody else could say, because it's an outlet.

771
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: That's why we do it in dark, dingy basements. I'm

772
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: not telling you go tell your friends at the water cooler,

773
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: fucking dummy. But you know, like so so I think

774
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: though for the most part too, at least with comics.

775
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: You know, if it's just words, actions, aren't you know

776
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: u uh, you know, you do some criminal shit that's

777
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: the eyes of the law. But comics with words, I

778
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: think it's happening less and less with the quote unquote

779
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: cancel stuff because it's like, yo, we're coming. In my opinion,

780
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: you cannot be funny and hateful, like you're one of

781
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: the other. Like you know, Hitler wasn't funny, Chase all hate.

782
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: So it's like if you're funny and and and the

783
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: joke comes off wrong. That's why comedy is subjective. It

784
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: may not be for you. That's fine. It's intent based.

785
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: It's like, what was your intent with It wasn't to

786
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: like be hatefuler to be r hurt feelings. It was

787
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,479
Speaker 1: to make light of something everyone's thinking about anyway. Yeah,

788
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: because you got to understand too, man, like any big uprising,

789
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: you know, I love here's a big history fan. You

790
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: cannot you know, like silence comics and artists. You can't

791
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: do that because I'm telling you when it comes down

792
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: to it, like you know, in the Holocaust, you know

793
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: they killed the artists in comic they killed them first

794
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 1: because they don't want you know, they don't these regime

795
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: doesn't want people talking and open you know, dialogue like

796
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: we have what we have in this country right now

797
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: is such a beautiful thing. You can you can, we

798
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: can have differences of opinions, you know, we all that stuff,

799
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: you know, like like this discourse. That's like fine, but

800
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: these groups of people that want to you know, like,

801
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: you know, they'll say silence is violence unless I speak

802
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: up and say what you don't want me to say,

803
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: then you try to silence me. So the premise of

804
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense to me. It never did,

805
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: so I'm like, so I'm like, as a comic, I'm like, yo,

806
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: we got to all just keep talking about whatever it

807
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: is you want to talk about because you need us,

808
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, just like we need musicians and all that,

809
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: and the people try to silence like, I don't know why.

810
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: At times, politicians, you know, will get you know, comics

811
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: will get treated like politicians, and politicians will get treated

812
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: like comics, like as a comic, that's true, you know,

813
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: it's I mean, think about the Trump shit he got

814
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: the past, like he was a comedian for so much

815
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: of the shit he said, yeah, and then there'll be

816
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: comedians around that same time that Kevin Hart thing has yeah,

817
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: where it's like wait, which one is which? Yeah, Like

818
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: like it's almost like this this little like defect in

819
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: society where it's like what you're attacking like the wrong people? Man,

820
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm a comic, I'm not I'm not trying. I

821
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: don't have anything to do with Congress like, you know,

822
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: but but the the people had something to do Congress,

823
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: like you said, the free So it's just been an

824
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: interesting thing. But that's why. But I think, you know, again,

825
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: turning to an audience and a fan base that just

826
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: likes what I do, it's almost like, well, you know,

827
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: I think this idea of being generically famous isn't realistic anymore,

828
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: Like you're not good, We're too much of a niche society. Now.

829
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: I think the same with music and comedy and movies.

830
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's it's only for a certain

831
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: group of people, but go for that. I mean, you know, now,

832
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: these movies that win you know, Oscars, most somebody's never

833
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: seen them or we don't know, you know, you you

834
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, they'll announced the best pictures of the year,

835
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I've never because it's because it's not

836
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: for us. It's for that niche, right, you know. Right, So,

837
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: so so it's an interesting, interesting thing. How did you

838
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: end up linking up with I'm a huge Impractical Jokers fan.

Speaker 1: so that that's that literally, that podcast literally is Salinized

901
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: Friendship since twenty fourteen, just on display. That's all it is.

902
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: When Joe leaves the show, do the fans like start

903
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: this this this campaign to maybe the fourth guy. I

904
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: got so many messages my agent got. It was constant,

905
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: like Chris, Chris, Chris. And then I spoke to sal

906
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: about it, and I said to sal I said the

907
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: beauty of and he of course agreed. And they you know,

908
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: the plan that they have now is working where they

909
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: get like posting guests. Yeah, that method, man, and that

910
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: that works beautiful because the thing is like, you know,

911
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: these these networks would try to recreate in practical jokers

912
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: and because it was such a mega hit. The reason

913
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: why it was a mega hit is because their friendship

914
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: started at fourteen years old, right, So don't throw someone

915
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: like me in or another one of you know, our

916
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 1: comedy peers. I'm not friendship and the same chemistry, thirty

917
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: years of chemistry that cannot be duplicated by anyone else

918
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 1: unless there's four group of friends that have that mindset

919
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: that so you can't just reproduce that that is their

920
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: friendship on display that I'm not a part of. So

921
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: it's like the way they're doing it now is just

922
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: to have an outside guy in just once in a while.

923
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: That's cool. It's it's the smart that's cool. I hope

924
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: Joe ens up coming coming back. He's so on TikTok.

925
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: I know, dude, he's the best on TikTok, the best. Yeah,

926
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: Joe Joe is I mean, he was my favorite. Yeah it, Madiac.

927
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy too about you know, being with

928
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: Sal because I I used to open for Sal. I

929
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,760
Speaker 1: would open for Sal a lot over the last few years.

930
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: But you know now now we both do our own

931
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: headline things. But but but Sal, you know what I

932
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: would be with him? It's crazy how like you know,

933
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: he would have all his fans, Like it almost feels

934
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 1: like all four of them each have the same amount fans,

935
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: but they're all different groups of people, Like you got

936
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: the Q fans, You've got the Murph fans, You've got

937
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: the Soald fans, you got the Joe fans. They all

938
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: collectively love all four of them. But it's like, you know,

939
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: ten million people love Sal, ten love Joe ten love.

940
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: It's it's like a wild thing, how like their their

941
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: fame is literally split four ways evenly. It's also like

942
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,359
Speaker 1: it's pretty wild that like, somehow they have had the

943
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: biggest comedy series. I don't know, it feels like in

944
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: a long time. It is. This is a fact in

945
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: the top five biggest comedy shows of all time, including Seinfeld,

946
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: they have while they're the arena tours, the cruise and

947
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 1: somehow I feel like they don't get the respect or

948
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: or the like recognition that they deserve. Yeah, it's it's

949
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: one of I think it's because like what I noticed,

950
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: like when when people come up to Sound the airport

951
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,359
Speaker 1: and all that. First of all, you know, he gets

952
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: mobbed and and and but he gets mobbed in a

953
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: way that because they and they are but because on

954
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: the show especially, they do such an amazing job of

955
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 1: coming off like we're just four regular guys like yours.

956
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: Like you would just come up to sal and be like,

957
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: I love you man, Is this a joke or touchy

958
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: or whatever, because that's just one of the guys. Wow.

959
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: We would do that to Kevin Hark because there's a

960
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: wall you're like, no, it's a movie story, you know,

961
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: or the rock or something like that, where Sally You're like, oh,

962
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: I just saw him. He was just he was giving

963
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 1: somebody who went story. Yeah. Yeah. Like so so it's

964
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: this fame that's like, it's it's very different. And I

965
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: think that aspect of it causes sometimes these you know,

966
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 1: media conglomerates to like like they should be winning all

967
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: the Comedy Emmys and all that their shows are the biggest,

968
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: the funniest, you know, so so, but but listen, you know,

969
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: I can promise you that them practical jokers are doing

970
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: very well. Yeah, have you done it? Have you done

971
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: the cruise yet? I did the cruise. I did the

972
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: cruise in February of twenty twenty when literally the same

973
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: cruise right, a boat that left the same time as

974
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: us from a couple of bays down starting COVID. They

975
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: got locked on the boat in whatever their destination was

976
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 1: for three weeks. They were on the same day you

977
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: dodged a fucking dodge a COVID bullet. Geez. Yeah, but

978
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: it was fun. So I did the last one. I

979
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: don't know if the cruise industry is even coming back.

980
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna do another one. You know,

981
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: I've never been on a cruise, and there's just something

982
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: about Yeah, it's just it's just to me, it's like,

983
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: why would I go trap myself on a boat for

984
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,800
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars for a week. Well, it was interesting

985
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: because you know, the rooms or one of the rooms

986
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 1: that I was in, had a GP had the boat's

987
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: GPS in it by one of the teams, and you

988
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: went from Miami to the Bahamas. But that trip only

989
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: takes like six hours, but you're in the middle of

990
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: the sea for three days, so it literally is just

991
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: making circles and going up and down and left and

992
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: right for a day. I'm like, this is so dumb.

993
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: You're killing all these fish, like this is dumb, and

994
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: these people are just eating on the buffet, like just

995
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: just hoarding all this food. And yeah, no, it was.

996
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: It was one of those things where I was like,

997
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, of course happy to do it, but I

998
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: was like, one of those things, I'm happy I experienced it.

999
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: Don't know that I've never taking a wife and kids

1000
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: on one of these No, they don't want to go. No,

1001
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 1: they know that when we no, no, I take them

1002
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 1: to Puerto Rico, and then that's fun. The last time

1003
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: we went to Puerto Rico, I thought I was gonna

1004

Speaker 1: This was nineteen eighty four. I was I was born

1139
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: in eighty four. Okay, so the Jordan year he was

1140
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 1: drafted in eighty four, nineteen eighty four. There's a book

1141
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:27,439
Speaker 1: I forgot what it's I think it's called Glory Years.

1142
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: It's about how wild the year nineteen eighty four was.

1143
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: I haven't read it yet, but there's like a lot

1144
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: of shit that went down in nineteeny four. But so

1145
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 1: eighty four, my dad, you know, bad gambler or whatever,

1157
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 1: gave birth and then I think that was like the

1158
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: beginning of the end. And then uh but but but

1159
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: my dad always says, he's like, you know, when you

1160
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,439

Speaker 1: like I hit the lotto like that, like you. And

1162
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,759
Speaker 1: then he started to like slowly get out of it all.

1163
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 1: And now I mean, I don't know anything like about

Speaker 1: thing with like with like organized crime and all that,

1171
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 1: like it's it's cool and romanticizing the movies and it

1172
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: is it is. I get why, But when it's actually

00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: in your family, you are like, eh, who was like

1174

Speaker 1: it's like that there was no leads, no nothing, and

1180
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,960

1189
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: I really do. But there is a little bit, there's

1190
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 1: a little code, there's a little bit of like, well

1191
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: it's a little bit safer when the mafia's around. They're

1192
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: not gonna Here's the thing is, Yes, it sucks. I

1193
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,239

1194
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: you know what, no one's ever gonna bring to my business.

1195
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: No one's ever gonna hurt my kids because if they do,

1196
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: they're fucking dead. And they will not mess with you

1197
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:09,959
Speaker 1: unless you mess with them. At least the old guys

1198
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: were the new people. You know. I don't know, but

1199
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: the old guys, my father will always say. The only

1200
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 1: people you gotta watch out for in this world are

1201
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: mafia wannabes. The wanna bees are the guys who will

1202
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: hurt you because they don't live by the code. The

1203
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: guys who live by the code you never see it coming.

1204
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 1: You just get one in the back of the head.

1205
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 1: But they would never touch you unless you did something

1206
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: to them, and they would, you know. I remember being

1207
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: in Cross Bay Boulevard to Howard Beach always would have

1208
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: a festival like a carnival every year, and I remember

1209
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: going there on some of my dad and John Gotti

1210
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: and his guys were handing out free candy to all

1211
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 1: the kids. I was like, this guy is fucking like Jesus.

1212
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 1: Did you did you get any candy from of course, yeah, no,

1213
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: we're all with all the kids. Gave it to all

1214
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: the kids. He was just John Gotti. You got some

1215
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: the gott He's candy some mafia kids. Yeah, it was

1216
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: like a big deal, like the kids would there's a

1217
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 1: million kids. Did he say hi to your dad? No?

1218
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: I hate it's been a while. Good to see it. No,

1219
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: but you know it's funny. It's he didn't say it

1220
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: to my dad. But when John Gotti died, his funeral

1221
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: was in Queen's and I remember my dad was like,

1222
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, I lived in Queen's right, and my dad,

1223
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, I was a teenager by then, so it's

1224
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: not like I knew his you know, whereabouts every second

1225
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 1: of the day. But but he called me. He's like,

1226
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm in Queens. You want to get a slice of pizza.

1227
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: I'll meet you by your mother's house. And I was like,

1228
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: oh cool. And then I I remember said it was like,

1229
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: why arean Queen's a guy friend died. I went to

1230
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: their funeral, and I was like, oh, because I know that,

1231
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: But but I never asked, like, but it could not,

1232
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: it could not. It could have been coincident. I'm like, Dad, yeah,

1233
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: you're on dialysis, you got two old knees or new knees. Whatever. Yeah,

1234
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: let's peel back the onon. Give me some of these stories.

1235
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: I know, I know, let's do a podcast. Yeah, you

1236
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: know he wouldn't. That's the thing is he wouldn't say

1237
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: because he's very much like, I don't want you near this, right,

1238
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 1: you know. But it was funny when I remember that day.

1239
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 1: He was like, I was at a friend's funeral. I

1240
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 1: was like, oh, John Gotti. Yeah, yeah, okay, oh man,

1241
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: imagine it wasn't It was just like a neighbor. Yeah,

1242
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: some old you just came up with this coincidence in

1243
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: your head. None of it's real. He's never in the

1244
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: mom fiets like, no and no, he actually worked for

1245
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: the banks, you know. He genuinely worked for Chase. Yeah,

1246
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: my mother he cheated on my mom. Yeah, that's why

1247
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 1: she just fucking she just Jesus bitter. Yeah, that's all

1248
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: it is. What do you got coming up? Obviously you

1249
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: had specially West She come out this year, especially WESH

1250
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: on Netflix came out. That's that's still out there, And

1251
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm proud of that one because that was all self

1252
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: produced by me. That was Netflix had actually said everybody

1253
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: had said no to my special, like of me, did

1254
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: you already get that made and then take it to

1255
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: them pre No? So what happened was is I was

1256
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: before I made it. I was trying to have people

1257
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 1: come out watch my hour and this and that, and

1258
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: everyone was just passing on me. HBO said no, Netflix

1259
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: or some of them wouldn't even come out like no,

1260
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for that. Okay, They're like, we don't

1261
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: want a straight white male right in comedy. At that point, fine,

1262
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm not complaining about it, but just what it was, right,

1263
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: We'll find another way, no problem. But so I got

1264
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: to a point where said, you know what, fuck it?

1265
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: What what am I even going after these corporate corporations

1266
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: from my whole mindset from day one, like I and

1267
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: in the beginning of this podcast has been give it

1268
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: to your fans. So I said, you know what, I'm

1269
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: gonna put this shit on YouTube. I'm gonna self produce it.

1270
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Did it what with my guy Mike Lavin, the homeless

1271
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: pimp who does all my podcasts. I said, he's going

1272
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 1: to direct it, film it. We're doing it that way. Whatever,

1273
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 1: So it filmed it. All these companies had said no,

1274
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 1: and then my agent was like, listen, I think this

1275
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: is a great special. Let me at least just put

1276
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 1: this in Netflix's hands now that the product is finished,

1277
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: and we'll see what they say. Day later they call

1278
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Netflix wants it. So I said, so I get on

1279
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,200
Speaker 1: the phone with Netflix. You know, you have to talk

1280
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: to him, and they said, hey, you know, we want it.

1281
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 1: I said great, I said, you guys can have it.

1282
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, but you have to take it as is.

1283
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: And they were like, well, at the end of the special,

1284
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: you shit on Netflix. I was like, you have to

1285
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: take it as is or I'm just gonna put it

1286
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: on YouTube, and they're like, the only thing we want

1287
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: is obviously to edit out the Netflix stuff. I said,

1288
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 1: you have to take it as is. If you do not,

1289
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 1: if that's edited out, then I will put it on YouTube.

1290
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,439
Speaker 1: I don't care, I said. I respect Netflix, I really do.

1291
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: I was like, my kids fucking love Cocoa Melas, but

1292
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: I literally don't care at all if my thing is

1293
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: on this platform, and right it's for the fans. So

1294
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: either keep it in or I will put it on

1295
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: YouTube in a week. It doesn't matter to me. And

1296
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 1: then they were like, okay, let us check with the

1297
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 1: high ups. And then the high ups stay and give

1298
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 1: a fuck. They were like, just put it on as

1299
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: is then, so so I was like, so that's what

1300
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: it is. So if you watch my special. At the end,

1301
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:26,040

Speaker 1: fucking time. Let's get back to the interview. The thing

1330
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: is is it's like a metaphor for life too. It's

1331
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: like there's nothing, there's nothing to get any nobody can

1332
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: give you anything anymore like there, especially in entertainment, like

1333
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: nobody can give you anything. You can only do it

1334
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: yourself and put it out yourself. There's people are like, oh,

1335
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: I want to get something, there's nothing to get You

1336
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: have to you have to make it happen and put

1337
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: it out. That's this is the only way. Like even now,

1338
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,919
Speaker 1: you know, take someone like like Aaron YOUW. Schultz who's

1339
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: made his whole career and living off just putting his

1340
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: things out. Now, the movies and TV shows come to

1341
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: him because there was nothing they could give him. He

1342
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: had he had to do it, and then they see,

1343
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: oh we want that so so so that's a mindset

1344
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: that you know, I hope my daughters don't have to

1345
01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: do comedy, but I hope they if they're gonna take

1346
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:36,960
Speaker 1: anything from me and be like, oh, you know, we

1347
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 1: we have to create things and we have to do things.

1348
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: There's nobody's gonna give you anything in this world. You

1349
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta make it, and then you know, let

1350
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: somebody you know buy it from you. Last couple of things,

1351
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: give me your all time Mount Rushmore of comedy, Mount

1352
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Rushmore of comedy, Mount Rushmore of Bill Burr. I like

1353
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Bill Burr, Louis c K, Dave Chappelle, and and you

1354
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: know who is one of the most underrated comics of

1355
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: Not that he's underrated, he's wildly famous, but people don't

1356
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: know about his stand up Jamie Fox. Oh yeah, I

1357
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: might need security, dude. That's one of my favorite stand ups, bro,

1358
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: that is his I believe that Jamie Fox is the

1359
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 1: just if we're just talking about talent across the board

1360
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: in the arts, he is the number one most talented

1361
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 1: person I've ever seen in my entire life of my

1362
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: generation is high level acting, high level comedy, high level

1363
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: music music. Yep. The only other person who's in that

1364
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: conversation I think is is Chris Brown. Yes, and justin

01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Timberlake is was very good on SNL and all that,

1366

1373
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:07,040

1374
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: at a high level. Yeah, Jamie Fox. To me, it's

1375
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: just it's just he's so talented. It like it makes

1376

Speaker 1: I'll never be as good as him. But but but

1378
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: but you know now I'm just like, eh again, I

1379
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: just what about at this very moment, who do you

1380
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: think are the funniest comedians in the world right now,

1381
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: right now, The funniest comedians. I like Shane Gillis, He's hilarious.

1382
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: Shane Gillis I think makes me laugh, Mark normand Mark

1383
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: sam Morril I die laughing at. And who else? Uh,

1384
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 1: Stavros Jlikas is a guy, he's great, stave baby. I

1385
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 1: love bad for that guy. Every time that Ravens lose,

1386
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: he's like melts down on fucking Instagram. You know he's

1387
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 1: fuck but I know he can't get any more bald. Yeah. Uh.

1388
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: And then and then there's a guy who I just

1389
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,280
Speaker 1: I watch his stuff and I cry laughing as a

1390
01:05:56,400 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: Kyle Dunagan. He makes these unbelievable sketches. And then uh, yeah,

1391
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: there's this kid, Eric Delessandro who makes these sketches on

1392
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Instagram at that very New York base. I really like that.

1393
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, those, you know, And and because you know,

1394
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: it's hard with my peers and stand up that, you know,

1395
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: because like we're all kind of not competing with each other,

1396
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: but it's tough to like get in a zone that

1397
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: just breaks down where like we can laugh because you know,

1398
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: a comic peer of mind will make a great joke

1399
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: and I'll be like shit, instead of laughing, I'm like

1400
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: why did I think of that. Why don't I have

1401
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: a premise like that. It's very difficult to separate. It's like,

1402
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 1: you know, an athlete watching another athlete. Yeah, they're admiring them,

1403
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: but they're also like, you know, I gotta step my

1404
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: game up. It's hard to just sit back and enjoy.

1405
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, though I think those people are you know,

1406
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: they just make me like Bobby Lee. He's die laughing.

1407
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: And Bobby Lee doesn't have a special no. Yeah, Like

1408
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people say he just has been

1409
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: doing the same like hour for like ever, you know,

1410
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: I to be fair, I haven't seen Bobby Lee's most

1411
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: recent stand up, but the thing is, every time I

1412
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: see him, it's just so over the top funny that

1413
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: even if it was the same material, I don't notice.

1414
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: I loved the podcast like Tiger Fell. Yeah, David Tell

1415
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: is like that. David Tell is another guy in the

1416
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore of comics. Like David Tell and Colin Quinn

1417
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: from the Mount Rushmore of comics to me as well.

1418
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: But Attel only has one or two specials and Colin

1419
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: has uh like one man shows, but only one or

1420
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: two actual stuff that shows about history that are brilliant.

1421
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 1: They're great, but it's just one man shows. So so

1422
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's this interesting thing where like sometimes people

1423
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 1: don't put out a whole you know, a whole bunch

1424
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 1: of stuff. That's that's fair. Last thing you went on

1425
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: Rogan obviously that seems to be kind of like a

1426
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: turning point for every comedian. Like once you get the

1427
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: invite to Austin, you go down there and you see Joe.

1428
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: Did you first of all, how was the experience? Did

1429
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: he did he give you any game? And did you

1430
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: notice kind of things uptick after? You know it's getting

1431
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: on Rogan when I did so, It's fantastic to do Rogan.

1432
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm always do it. But it's weird that, like, you know,

1433
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: first of all, when I met him, it was cool

1434
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: because you know, he he asked, you know, me to

1435
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: come on, which is different when you asked them when

1436
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: they ask him to come on. That that's the way

1437
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:21,400
Speaker 1: you want it. Of course, you know, he showed me

1438
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: his whole facility and he's like kicking He's like, you know,

1439
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: he's like a great like boxer and kickbox He's like

1440
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: kicking this fucking heavy bag. Like I'm like this guy

1441
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna kick my head off on the show. I'm like,

1442
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: this is I'm intimidated, you know. He's like, this is

1443
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: my cryo chamber. I'm like, are we going to go

1444
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: in it? Or do you want to do pod? Like

1445
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: it was like two hours. I'm like, this is what

1446
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 1: I kill was the tour, I was like, yeah, I'm

1447
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: a man's man, yeah, which I was like, all right,

1448
01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: I had like on a flowered shirt. I was like, well,

1449
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, I'm gay and and and it's interesting,

1450
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, I did the show. I did you know,

1451
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, to do I did like three and a

1452
01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: half hours with him, Like the longest I ever doing

1453
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 1: a podcast is like an hour, because like what can

1454
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,599
Speaker 1: you even talk about? But for him, it's like he's

1455
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: so good at like just keeping the convo going, like

1456
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 1: you'll say something and then he's because he's listening. The

1457
01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 1: thing is is like you're very good at it too,

1458
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: Like you're just like listening. You're not worried about like

1459
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: what he's going to say, Like he's like I'm just

1460
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,679
Speaker 1: listening to you and then going off you is very natural,

1461
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: very calming. But you know, it's it's weird. It's that

1462
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: you know, by the time I got to do Joe Rogan.

1463
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: You know, I had had to get my fans kind

1464
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 1: of the hard way and kind of get them one

1465
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 1: by one by one. So I don't know that too

1466
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 1: many people heard me on Joe Rogan that didn't already

1467
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: kind of make a decision on me whether they liked

1468
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: me or not. Maybe I was able to get some

1469
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,760
Speaker 1: people who didn't initially like me to like me and

1470
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: follow But I didn't notice my followers go up or

1471
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 1: my ticket numbers. Really, I didn't notice it too much.

1472
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: It kind of stayed where it's at because I think that,

1473
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,519
Speaker 1: you know, I was doing all the orbital podcasts, I

1474
01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: was doing, doing everything I was doing, So all those

1475
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: people that listened to Rogan, they listen to these other guys,

1476
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 1: so they heard me on that and by that, you know,

1477
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: it's not like you were like like new to his

1478
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: audience at that point. Yeah. I mean, I'm definitely was

1479
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: new to some people, of course. But also the other

1480
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,719
Speaker 1: thing with Joe is he puts out so much content,

1481
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 1: and I understand why that you get swallowed up very

1482
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: easy in the algorithm. So it's like I was you

1483
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to listen to my three and a

1484
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,759
Speaker 1: half hours for about two days. Yeah, and then somebody

1485
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:22,920
Speaker 1: else for a five hour episode came up. So so

1486
01:10:23,200 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: it's very difficult to listen to it all. I watched

1487
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 1: the whole thing where I listen to it, and I

1488
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: listened to it. It It was good. Man, there you go.

1489
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:30,880
Speaker 1: It's like like the story about your pops, Like I

1490
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 1: think he was going to see was it your principal

1491
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,360
Speaker 1: at your school? Yeah? Yeah, that's the thing. If you

1492
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:38,040
