that you know luckily my editor was in lives up there in the Pacific Northwest and so thankfully we did everything on zoom so it wasn't as painful for me you know what I mean like it wasn't in the room with her and my director I kind of we were doing it over zoom so it was a little bit easier for me to do like it's the anxiety watching in the room with the editor that I did on my last one yeah hated it yeah I was while I was just blessed in that way because I alley Wong directed it and she executive produced and she was real hands-on in post so she was like you know she know you know a lot of us hate watching ourselves but yeah she was like hey let me just do the first cut and then you can get eyes on it I was like perfect smart and so she has a really good eye too so yeah that was a

canceled but it didn't get canceled and I was like it didn't get canceled it didn't go again yeah I didn't see I don't believe in that they old days of cancellation they would cancel you middle middle way through my name the old sitcom days yeah it wasn't working out halfway through the season they'd go and that was a cancellation right but when they don't pick it up again it's just not a cancellation it's just they didn't don't they don't go again that's how I look at it because the show was well received it was well done yeah obviously they just didn't think it was right to do it again but I told you man I told you how much I like that show man I and Chris I said every time I saw him I said damn I think it's so funny man there was there was nothing like that on the air uh anyway just giving you your props it was fantastic dude this will still on there watch it it's on there yeah it's there and it should be back man it should be like I'm hoping it gets like remember what was that show twin peaks yeah they did it like as if they redid it I'm like pray that that happens like it's not out of it's not out of the realm of reality yeah that does happen enough now because Netflix does that too they pick up a show and then it spikes the viewership people like do this again you know and then people like maybe we should do it again arrested development arrested

Every time I see you, every time at Burbank, it is the best airport in the world, man, if it was only, if it only went more places. - I always tried to go to Burbank. - Oh, bro, I'd never, I'd never go to LAX ever again. But the new special is out right now. So go watch it, we'll knock that out and get that out of the way. But I'm happy that you're, you're staying clean and keeping your head straight, huh? - Yeah, yeah. - But dude, it's so funny, thinking back to that Sacramento thing. I don't know if I was talking to you or Bobby, whoever told me to roll through, that I come through with Arra, come get it. - Well, what I said, come through. And then Bobby heard you were coming. We got excited as shit. And then you were coordinate with Carlos than these guys to get you on stage. - Yeah, so I think that gave me an excuse to extend my stay in beautiful Sacramento 'cause I think I did the punchline if I'm not mistaken. - Yeah, you were doing the punch, I think. - And then your guys' show was kind of like, - Some theater, I don't remember what theater. - No, it was in the hard rock. - Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no I was in that hotel room by myself, fucking, my little baggies. Oh, they wanted to go to the hard rock. I went to the bad friend's room. I pulled it together, it took a shower. All right, did a line, I'm like, hey, you look good, right? All right, cool. All right, cool. And then I took an uber out there, and then, yeah, yeah. And then I was like, okay, be normal, you know what I mean? 'Cause you know, Bobby's like sober, and I'm just like, all right, don't fucking, and I feel like I can get the cool. But like, no, no, you did, you did, but I was like, he's fucking, he's having a good night. He feels like he's up, like, yeah. All I knew was I was like, man, he were cruising. I was like, man, I can't believe he's not tired. Oh, yeah, he's not tired. Yeah, I was like, how do you know he shows, man? - Yeah, after my guest spot, and then you guys had me like, kick it up there, it was a fun show, actually. - It was a great show, man. - Yeah, yeah. - Those shows were fucking wild. I loved those days, but no, you had a good popping. It was I was glad to have you up there. - Yeah, yeah, I was like, so I was on that high, like, you know, everybody had a good set. - You were double high, you were high twice. - But yeah, I went back to the green room, okay, I'm done, and started blowing lines right in that green room. You guys gave me a-- - God bless. - And then I remember I came out, and you guys were like, standing right there, like, hey, we need a picture. And I was like, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh. - Yeah, I'm on photos. - Yeah, yeah. - Okay, man, just gotta get a photo on stage. - And you guys were like, going to eat steak after it, and I was like, I don't feel that hungry for some reason. - Yes, also another tip. I did know, and I said, we're going to a nice steak house. She's like, nah, I don't want to eat steak, and I was like, nah, you want to just come eat chicken or some shit. I was like, is he vegetarian? I do not want meat. - No, yeah, but now you're good. Stand up at those hotel rooms. I've heard the stories from a lot of comics and friends that you get cooped up in a hotel. I mean, I do it too. - Yeah. - You know, but you know, you go on a run, huh? - Oh, when you're trying to just, it's so hard, man, in the beginning. Now, you know, you get over like this hump, you know, they have to get over. And I just couldn't get over it. I'll get a little time over then, and I'm just like, being at airports and comedy clubs, and then you're just isolated in a hotel room. I was like, you know, I just can't, I couldn't kick it with myself like that, you know? - It's hard. - I had to numb it out or party or whatever. - Now, what do you do when you feel like you're getting antsy when you're on the road? - Oh, you know, I have people like call, you know, meetings and shit, meetings and shit like that. We're not allowed to say what it is, but I mean, - No, no, no, I'll stop that program. - We all know. - Yeah, exactly. - Why do they pretend like we do it? It's like, well, we talk about it pretty openly on bad friends about Bobby sobriety and stuff. And, you know, I've been together with him now, like he's my boyfriend. - I don't know. - Yeah. - We've been dating. - So we've been dating. - Yeah. - We've been, okay, we've been sleeping together. - Not bad, but I've been with Bobby through some of the worst times. And when we started the show, when he relapsed, and then he relapsed two more times after that. Yeah, we had a couple of stints where we had to. - And that recently, I don't know. - Yeah, who's a bomber? - This thing. - Yeah, we had some hiccups, man, and it happens to me is what it is. It's not the end of the world. - He's the same way, like, it's isolate and give up. But he was the first one, this was years ago, he was like, he came at me like, you know, he's like, man, you got it, Frankie. You got the disease, you know, and I'm like, what, like, I got almost offended. I'm like, bitch, you know what I mean? - You don't know me, bitch. - Right. - You know, like, I just know you, like, for comedy shit, but sure enough, it took me like another year. And I was like, oh, fuck, I think it might have been right, you know what I mean? - Yeah, he was right. - Yeah. - So yeah, he was right. - Yeah. - But it is what it is. I think that's a part of life that people don't want to talk about a lot of times. Only because it's, people feel like it's dark or it's just you or whatever, but that's not true, man. That's millions and millions of millions of people struggle with it. - Oh, yeah. - So it is what it is. - It is what it is. - Yeah. - And it's not, it doesn't define you. It's a thing that happened. - That's the thing that happened. - It's an Arle thing though, just like, well, I can't drink. - Yeah, I don't mean. People be like, come on, just have one drink, I mean. If you want to pick me up from County J on a couple of days and you don't have that drink with you, you know what I mean? That's where I go, you know what I'm saying? - Yeah, if you want to unpack my life, then yeah. - But otherwise, let me just go my own way and do my thing, yeah. Are you on tour right now? Are you touring a new hour or the same hour? What are you doing? - No, actually, I can't tour the same hour, yeah. - Isn't that funny though? Why do we do that? - Why can't we? - I was, I don't know. - The old heads used to do that shit. - I know, but it was like, I think it was, I don't know if it was David Spader. Somebody was doing an interview recently and they were like, "Man, sometimes I wish I was a musician because then you could just play your ten songs." - Play the hits. - It's like a comedian though, you have an hour come out. You got to come up with a whole new hour. - You do. Are you touring a new hour now or no? - Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, just to get through the set, I'm kind of sprinkling and still some stuff that's in the special. But after October 10th, obviously I can't do any of that. - No, he's not. - I'm just kind of blending it in with the new shit, you know, just trying to work it up and bump all the special stuff out. - Yeah, we're all doing that. You're slowly peeling away. Until finally, you have to feel comfortable to guard. I just got to jump now. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So, you know, but you know, using my live shows, I do characters too, and what creepers and stuff like that, so that gives me a little. - Creeper, you do, and what else do you do on the live show? - Usually, just him, but sometimes I'll do, you know, J.C. or, you know, I'm trying to do an emo primo who's, you know, he's like an emo dude. - We're doing so live. - But, yeah. - Emo primo is fucking genius, dude. That's genius. Are you still doing sketch or no? Are you still writing in person when I'm doing shit? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. We just started doing a, you know, I got a warehouse right here close by. I hit you up about it. I'm gonna remind you again, but to come. - Let me know. - It's a creeper's crib. Lie from our grandpa's garage, and, you know, it's kind of like a Peewee's playhouse kind of format. - Oh, it's dope. - Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, you know what I come by? - Water heater talks, up on through-floot talks, my slipper, we just kind of kick it, you know. - Ha-ha-ha. - Yeah. - The creepership really did take off in a way that I knew, I like, I knew when I first saw it, I thought, "Oh, that there's no way that's not gonna hit strike a chord with a lot of people." People love that shit, huh? - Yeah, man. It's crazy. And like, yeah, I love it when like people, I wouldn't expect like it, like it, you know. - Like a six-year-old white women? - Yeah. - We love creeper. - Yeah, dude. And it's funny you said Minnesota, because like, the first time I went to Minneapolis, I did, oh, was it Acme? - Yeah, Acme. - And, dude, this group of like, it was like five older white women with like three older Asian women, and they all came to the show, and I'm like, "Oh, okay, they're here on a group on," or something. And they waited after, they, "Oh, honey, we couldn't wait for you to come here." - Wow. - Like, "We love your spirituality." And, duh, duh, duh. And I'm just like, "Oh, I think you like, you know, that's great." And I just say, "Oh shit, okay, we got something." - That is great, bro. - Yeah. - Acme Comedy Club. Minneapolis, Minnesota never played it. - Oh, really? - Yeah. - When I was a young comic, I tried to tour it, and they wouldn't let me do it. They were like, "Nah, we're good." They fucked me off. Do you know that? - Damn. - So I go back, I shoot a special at the theater. Get fucked, mint, Acme. Get fucked, nerds. - Yeah, how many sold out shows? - Yeah, four sold out shows at Pantage. Just eat my shit, Acme. How about that, bitch? No, they said no to me years ago, before I probably was ready anyway. But I was bummed, because that was one that I had always heard to the grapevine from the older guys that were like, "You gotta play there." And we tried when I did a Midwest tour. - Wow. - Wasn't in the cards for the kid. I was doing broad ripple, what's that in Indianapolis? But, hilarities or whatever it was? - Crackers. Crackers, sorry. Crackers, yeah. Crackers. - Crackers. - It's a piece. - That's the one right there. - That's gone? - Crackers is gone, I think. - I don't know. - I don't know. - I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong, but yeah, I think it's gone. - Imagine the crackers, the crackers, social guys, like, "We're still here!" Don't say that. - It's closed. - It is closed. - Yeah, I can't close it. Thank you. I know. That would have been fucked up. - Acme, though, yeah. - Yeah, recently. - It just closed down. - Yeah, February. - Acme, I wanted to go to, but that's it. But I still went back to the city. I showed love to the city, because I love that city. - Yeah, but Acme, they'd like you to go. I think it's like Tuesday through, it's a long week, bro. It's like-- - That might have been why. They were probably like, "You have to do Tuesday." I was like, "No." - Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was-- I was done. - That's a long time. I did those stints in Vegas. Kim will show you used to be that way. I think you do that the seller when you still do Vegas now. - Yeah, you used to do Planet Hollywood. It was seven days, 9 p.m. show every night. God, you're just like, "Get me the fuck outta here." Like, 'cause by the fourth-fifth day, - every day you walk down. - Yeah. I would just drive out and go for a hike and shit. - Yeah, that's a long one. - Yeah, that's good. What are you doing now when you're on the road when you're bored? What's taking a most of your time when you're on the road? Well, I'm in the road. I don't know, riding and working out. You know, I like to run.
Um, but yeah, go in the movies and shit stayin' in the gym, huh? Yeah, well, I'm not a state of, you know, try to get it in, homie. It's so hard, dude. When you go to the hotel, you're like, "You either do that." You just jerk off and nap again. Yeah, yeah. For the fifth time today. I've been gettin' into edgy lately. Kirk Fox got me into edgy. He looks like an edger. Yeah, yeah. He explained it to me like the spirituality of it. And I'm like, "Fuck, it's hard, the world." Get close and stop. And then just, "All right, let's go do shit." There's something else, you know what I'm just, but you're like, "Oh, dude, it's so funny." His Kirk Fox does absolutely seem like he'd be like, "Got edged, man." Yeah, he talked me into it. You've got to get close and then stop. Yeah, he's like, "You know, you feel yourself full with all this energy and you just keep it there for as long as you can." Then you let it go. Full panic. That's full panic to me. I don't want to do it. No. Edging. Have you done it? No, I can't do it. He's like, "No." No, I let it rock. I want a bus. I bust. In here, we pour whistle, whistle.

I'm interested to know everybody's case because everyone that's signed up and they told us all the names that were on it. I was like, I wonder why everybody chose. Why did you choose? Yeah, you know what? Honestly, when I saw you and Bobby were doing it, that was like a big plus for me. Too, but. Isn't that funny? It was the same for us. When we saw Burr and it's like, they baited us with one guy and I was like, all right. I mean, I was like, they're doing it, I'll try it. They're doing it. Yeah, Sebastian. That's how people get addicted to things. They go, how good is it? That guy does it. I mean, must we try? Yeah. See? That's addicted personality. They're all doing it. There's a red head and an Asian homie also involved. Yeah, we're good. We're good. Yeah. But it was just the timing really because me and Ali were already kind of talking about it, like her producing and directing it. And then, all of a sudden, it was like shortly after we started, we were kind of just like Lucy talking about that. She hit me up. She's like, you want to get serious about this. I'm like, all right. So I started doing some tour dates with her just so she could get a fill for what I was doing on stage. And then around that time, Hulu announced like, yo, we're going to launch the slate of stand of specials. And then, so, you know, Ali's obviously got a close ties with Netflix and so Hulu just came in harder. And then I was more like, you know, I kind of have a built in audience here because of this full. So it just seemed like, you know, an easy choice. It is a good step. And it was like, you know, I know, you know, Netflix is great at stand of specials, but there was a lot on there. And then they were like, the way Hulu presented is like, we're going to do one a month. We're going to push that special for that whole month. Yeah. That's all we're going to do. That was really like a peeling, you know. I was going to switch with you initially because my birthday month is October. I said, it'd be great if I had October. They said, well, we want you in September. September is my birthday is. Well, why wouldn't they switch, bro? See? And they put me on September 12th, the day after 9/11, it was like great, robo. Are you scared of American tragedies? Well, guess what? Tomorrow. Andrew Santino's white noise. It was why when they gave me the date on the phone. I was like, 9/12, huh? They were like, yeah. I was like, all right, we'll take it. Whatever. That seems like it's working out though. It's doing fine. I think it's doing great. We don't know. We stayed at number one in the movie section for a long time or number three right now. So you just hope people watch it and like it. There's no way to know that you're like, I don't know. You put it out. You just got to throw it up. And it was also a culmination of years of peeling apart other stuff and putting it together jokes from the bad friends tour and then from my own tour. Yeah, yeah. We're, how much of that material were you like, oh, shit, I got to get this special done? How much of it was recent because I wanted all of it gone because I was tired of doing it because I had done it on bad friends and on mine. So it was like, I was intermingling both. So I was ready to rock. I was like, I gotta get rid of this stuff. By February, when I filmed it, I was like, I gotta go, dude. It's so funny that we feel that way. The audience doesn't know, but you're like, dude, I can't, I've done this, I can't do this joke again. I've done this joke. Yeah. 8,000 fucking times. And then there's guys that do the same jokes for the rest of their life and they don't give a shit. I want to do that. Same shit. I want to be like the old. You guys ready for the hits? Yeah. Play those bangers, dude. I think about that all the time, like the Bob Hope generation, all the older comics and all those guys, they would do. I mean, you know, that was the thing is that people wanted to hear Dangerfield do shit. They already heard. Right, right. Which had been kind of wild for him to write new shit because they were like, no, no. Do the other stuff about your wife. I know, dude. Yeah. Do the no respect, though. Show us that you have no respect, dude. Well, I don't. I mean, you're not respecting me. But show it. But tell it to us right now. Dude, every time I would get discouraged, like, because, you know, I was starting to get older. I was like, hold you now. I'm in my 40s, bro. He's being coy about it. So cute, dude. 45. Are you really? I just turned 45. I look way older than you, dude. I'm 42. Damn, dude. That's good. That's good. What is it? Black don't crack. It's brown. What? Brown don't frown. What is brown? Brown just positive vibes. Brown don't go down. Brown don't go down. But, uh, Brown goes up. But yeah, I always think of Dangerfield, dude, because his story's like he didn't even pop until he was in his 50s, you know? Well, yeah. And he was what a refrigerator salesman or some shit. Aluminum sighting. Aluminum sighting? Yeah. I keep it. That's a real. Aluminum sighting. Did you have a bunch of shitty jobs early on? Oh, yeah. I know it's crazy. Well, I worked in, uh, I worked at a hardware store for a long time and then, but this was before I started comedy. And then I was doing a ship in here receiving, like at a warehouse doing pallets and shit. And then forklift. Do it in there. Serified, bro. You forklift certified? No, no, no. I'm not forklift certified, but I can get down. I want a little bit. But, uh, when I moved back to LA, my, I was like, oh, cool, you know, I'm going to figure shit out. But my dad, bro, he was not having it. He would get it going in the room out, sleeping in every morning, like 7 a.m. was up. What's going on today? Were you doing today, huh? Yeah. Well, I'm like, oh, come on, dad. Just move back. 7 a.m. That dude, he took me one of those labor radio places on me. It was like ex-cons and like illegal immigrants and shit. And you just sit there like, you're like a fucking, you're in a fishbowl, you know, and then like these fools come up to you that new workers and they just kind of like evaluate you and you're just kind of sitting there like, oh, dude, that was terrible, bro. And then these guys will be like, hey, if you work hard, I'll give you a tip, you know. And then you will bust your ass. And at the end of the day, I'm like, oh, sorry, I don't have no cash, but I'll pick you next time. You know, they just do whatever to get the most out of you, take advantage of you. Yeah. And this one guy was like, you're literally like, we're like digging holes and trenches and shit. And I'm like, what the fuck am I doing? There's got to be something better. Right. So that's when I got into the restaurant game. You know, busing tables and running food and then start serving and shit. But yeah, I kept getting fired from those jobs because some months, I would request too many days off. Because you have to be on, you know, doing shows. I mean, I was doing shows, but you know, in the beginning is inconsistent, you have a good month where you make like a couple grand, then you make five grand, then you make nothing the next month. Right. And then that's when Postmates came about, or Dordash, and I had to go get my DUI expunged so I could do fuck Dordash. Yeah. And when it's funny, because I think I delivered to you over time, but I knew you lived on Franklin and those apart, or sorry, I don't want to say, I don't know, I haven't lived there in a long time. Yeah. When I lived on Hollywood, homie, I delivered to your spot and I always, and I keep forgetting to bring that up to you, but I remember when I lived on Hollywood Boulevard. Yeah. Yes. I was on Hollywood in the bridge. In that complex. Yeah. Well, nice one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You went to you delivered. Yeah. I was like, oh, this fool is right here. You know. That's wild. Yeah. And then like, you know, I was doing a bi monthly show at the Hollywood improv call for the people comedy. Like, I was just on that grind flyers and shit. And then they put you on my show a couple of times. I was like, oh, cool. He's on the show. No, no, no. Why are you never telling me? I would come up to you in the back. Hey, thanks for doing my show. Yeah. Thanks for having me. You know, I'm like, oh, shit. It's Andrew Santito. No, that's so funny, brother. I don't want to be creepy. I'll be like, yeah, delivered to you. No, no, no. You know what's so funny is I saw my when my buddy, I'm not going to say his name, my buddy lost his gig and it was tough and he started delivering. And I saw him delivering one time and he looked at me like, like I caught him doing something bad. Do you know what I mean? Like he I like I caught him red handed and he was like.
Hey, man, I was like, what's up? And he's like, nothing. I was like, are you good? He's like, I'm fine, man. I think he was mad that I saw him deliver. Like it bummed him out. Oh, really? Well, 'cause he had lost a good gig and he was tripping about it a little bit. I could tell it bummed him out. I was, I had a little, like, a little window where it was at. Oh, you never told me you delivered it to me, man. You never even said that. I've been meaning to tell you that. Whatever bullshit I would have ever changed to what I ordered back in the day. I used to love that apartment complex, man. That was great. You know why? That place on Hollywood. Nobody, it was like a, it was like a, this is pre-only fans, but like all the girls living there, it was paid apartments by some rich guy. You know what I mean? Like some rich guy would pay for these hot women to live there. Oh, my God. I think it was this apartment complex. I always, I'll never forget this story, bro. I delivered to a girl that she opened the door in, in topless in her underwear. Yeah. And she's like, oh, can you put it in the kitchen? Like, she could have grabbed this. She let you walk. So you walked in with her teddy bear. I do not walk in. She had her nails, like freshly done. And I'm like, obviously she was getting something out of that. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. Just to be like, oh, the little, the little. That place would still be a little show. Hot, like models or actresses. Oh my God, that was total sense, bro. Yeah. And it was so funny because you have the apartments were empty because they weren't there, like they were traveling or some rich guy would fly them around the world or whatever. But I remember there was nights where I'd look around at the lights and the patios, you know, like in the apartments. And not, you know, not one of the lights was on in half of the floors. And I was like, oh, the fuck is everybody? But then I started to get in and I was like, oh, right. All these chicks are, this is their paid for. Some guy is like, you know, hey, I'll buy you an apartment. I need you over there. I need you in Miami. I need you in Spain now. Right. Fuck, that's crazy. I don't know why you never told me. Oh, I'm telling you that. No, no, no, it's so funny, man. That's so crazy, yeah. Yeah, that place. I used to love that place. I couldn't live in Hollywood anymore, man. It got the best of me. When a guy was like pissing on my door on the front door, I was like, that's it, man. Oh, yeah, yeah. And people broke into our garage all the time. Oh, fine. I had, you know, even after I made it and then I were, you know, I don't know what made it means. Oh, you made it. I bought a home, you know? So it was like I got a condo and a brand and sunset. Beautiful. It was dope, you know. It's the lifestyle, private rooftop, all that. But when the pandemic hit it was like, we had a library across the street and they closed the library. So they let fools camp there. People start breaking into our garage. We're finding foil and black straws. Fools are just chasing the dragon in our fucking garage and shit. Like, they broken my car. They were like, what the fuck's going on? You know? Some girl in my old complex got her car broken into twice. But this is the funniest part. She got her car broken until I'll never forget. It was by the elevator. And she got her car broken into. It was like a Range Rover. And she had like tons of shit in there. And she claimed it was like Louis Vuitton purses. A computer. Jewelry. Cash. Whatever. And then she got broken into again. And she said she lost all this other stuff. And I was like. Why is she going around with all that stuff? Yeah. I was like, either you had someone do it because you want to collect insurance. Or you're that dumb. You keep leaving all this nice shit in your car. Take it upstairs, bitch. You live upstairs. Yeah. You live right there. But she complained twice. But other cars got broken into. So I was so scared. I never put everything. I left nothing in my car. But that was the old days when I was in Culver City. My Hyundai got broken into. And a guy sold CDs. That's how long ago that was. I got sold to the book of CDs. Hyundai. That killed me, bro. A book of CDs. I was like, really? You booked my window for CDs? Yeah. Because someone told me last night who was talking to me there. We were talking about Culver City. And I was like, oh, fits, fits dog. We were talking about Culver City and how someone he knows you used to work down there. And I was like, man, it's so funny how nice that is now. Because when I was living there, it was a nightmare. I hated walking home from shows late at night. Because the gas station was right there. And there was always someone tweaking out the gas station. Yeah. Walking up and down the other side of a gas station. It would actually jump over the fence from the gas station in there. But yeah, I went ahead and walked home late at night. I hated it, dude. I was just pretend I was pissed off about something. I'm just walking. You know, just like pacing like. If you talk to yourself, that weirds them out. Yeah, they're like, well, you don't have to be there at four. You got to get there at six. Yeah. If you're just yelling. Then they're just like, oh, this guy's fucked up too. Yeah, they're like, I don't want to deal with that. I'll take the next one and be easier. You become a less easier target. Right. But that fucked me up. I used to have to park so far away from my house. Because we didn't have parking. But, you know, it was a shared duplex. And there was never street parking on national. It was on national. And so I'd have to park way, way down by like the gas station or by the freeway under the freeway. Yeah. And I fucking hit every time I was like, god, I'm-- I hate this shit, dude. But I didn't have any-- I had nothing to rob anyway. I just knew someone was gonna try to fuck with me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I had a cell phone to steal. It was hectic, bro. And those neighborhoods, yeah. But, you know, I'm glad that I went-- Yeah, now it's nice over there. But, yeah, it's even where I used to live. It cleaned up, though, since they opened everything back up. But, yeah, it was-- I mean, I don't regret, you know, living there. I was like, I liked it. No, it was nice. I liked it. Like, yeah, give me the action and the weirdos. Makes you feel something. But now I'm glad where I'm at now. I'm in a chill as neighborhood. Yeah. All the fans are saying that. You got too fancy. Everybody's like, Frankie got way too fancy, bro. So fucking fancy, dude. Now, would you tour Creeper without doing stand-up, too? Like you said, you put in the act. Do you just do it solo now or no? Yeah, no, no. I do both. I'll do it. You'll tour just him on his own. No, no, no, no. But you do always do, Frankie. Yeah, yeah. You do Frankie stand-up and Creeper. Do you ever want to not do both? Do you want to just do you or not? I don't know. I don't know. People always ask me that. And I don't know. I like being able to dip into both, you know? Yeah. Like it keeps, they keep each other fresh. But yeah, yeah, yeah. It is, you know, I am getting older, you know, folks. So doing all the squats and the hopping around. You know what I'm saying? I got to put ointments on and shit after tour. After like weekends at clubs, I was just like, oh, fuck. Come here. You're back, is there? But yeah, it's fun, though. Have you seen that dude on TikTok who does burpees? Yeah, the burpees came. That dude is fascinated. And the floor is has, you know, like his indentations on. Have you seen that guy? He's like indentations in the floor from doing so many burpees. Cause he obviously was locked up for a long time. Yeah. He started doing burpees. And then when he got out, he's like influencing people to do burpees. He's like, you don't need a gym dog. Just workout out. Yeah. But that dude is doing like, he's doing like 500 burpees a day. Dude, it's crazy. It's like now. He's getting ready. You've never seen this guy. He does it from here. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. Yeah. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. He's a burpee. Yeah. That'd be dope. He's legit. I was watching that dude. And I couldn't believe how many he would do in a row. And I thought, this is the way that you get out of the prison system. And constructively go, all right. Well, here's something I learned. I should just stick with this. And nobody can do that shit. His arms. I mean, burpees are probably one of the best workouts you could do if you have the gall to do them. Every time I try to do that at the gym, I always look like a bitch. Jumping down, I look like a bitch going down to do a push up. And then if your arms are too tired and you start getting noodle arms, I'm like. No, that dude is legit. But no, the reason I asked is because I had a bunch of characters that I did when I auditioned years ago for SNL. And I was like, this friend of mine was like, you should do them. Do them with your shit. And I always was so scared to do them. I do think it takes a lot of balls to go back and forth. It's harder than people think. Do you audition for SNL? Forever ago. 2000. And I don't know. Look it up. Look up when Pete joined. When Pete got it. It was me, Dan Soder, and Pete Davidson. Oh, wow. It was down to us three. He was not crazy. Wow. It was a bunch of people in 2014. 2014, that's what it was. Yeah. Wow, really 2014. I think I did 11 years ago. 2018. Did you want to New York? Yeah. Yeah, it was great, right? It was fun. Yeah, yeah. It was cool. Fun little time. I suck at auditions. I just nod my thing. But that was one of my better ones. Because everybody was like, you know, the homies I did it before, they're like, look. You're going to get there. They're going to make you wait like three or four hours. At least. It's all day. They're all that and they're like, you know, Lauren's going to be there. He's going to have a little video village to see how you look on TV. Right. And he's going to have like four or five people next to him. And they're not going to give you shit. So just connect, just commit to your whatever you're doing. Yeah. Well, no, they did laugh. They laughed a little bit. Yeah, they laughed for me. He tied for me at the end too. Me too. That's what I was like to the hotel room. Like, fuck over here. I got you went back to those towers. So that hotel they put you in bed across the street. Yeah. Which gives you more anxiety because you are right across the street. Yeah. And you're thinking you're like, it's right there. It's just right there. You never auditioned again. That was it. That was it. Man, you would have been fantastic, too. I don't know why you never want to do it again. I think, well, I don't know. They started hearing the horse. I mean, you know, I don't know. The horse stories. Yeah. The horse stories. You do. I don't know. But obviously, I would have taken it if I got it. It's a great launching pad and all that. But then I started doing other TV work. And then I did this full. And all that. I'm like, oh, I much rather be doing that. Yeah. You're on your own path. And then this. And I think I genuinely think you might have been like, this guy's good, but he's not good for this show or something. Because the fact that he was laughing and clapping for me. But I don't know. Everybody always, just because I do characters, you know, they automatically think SNL. Yeah. Well, but you are very dynamic. I mean, you're good. You're good at it, bro. Oh, thank you, homie. But we'll make our own show. Yeah, yeah. Let's do it. We'll make our own little show. Well, you're still doing sketches with the same guys, right? Yeah. Yeah, with Donnie Devanian. How do you say his name? Donnie Devanian. Devanian Devanian. Yeah. I love that, dude. Oh, yeah, yeah, dude. He's gonna be pumped to hear you. That motherfucker so funny. Do you know this cat? He's one of the funniest dude. It blows my mind that he hasn't been like on a major sitcom or something. He's so fucking funny.
- He's an inch away, everybody's an inch away in that position where when they're talented and interesting, he's right there. He's so good, man. Everyone I was watching you guys from years ago when I first started seeing you do those, I thought they were so funny. You guys are great together. - Yeah, we just made a movie called The, yeah. - What is it? - Plant Man and Blondie. - We're gonna show it at Sundance and hopefully - Are you really? - And probably South Falcon, huge. What is it you wanna tell me the premise or no? - Yeah, it's about house plants pretty much comedy and Donnie plays it. (laughing) - He's not like that. - Donnie plays this magical character who like, if you don't water your plants or break in your house and water your plants for you and if the plant's dying, you'll straight up steal it. So he's doing illegal shit. But it's all for the love of plants. And then Corey's like caught up in a Zoom work life, disconnected from nature and they kind of formed this bond. Me and my mom and dad are running a struggling nursery and he brings the plants there and we have a sanctuary hidden sanctuary in the back where we nurse them back to hell. - That's great. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Who wrote this all you guys did together or do somebody wrote it? - Yeah, mostly the Donnie, Corey and Rob. And then I helped. I would go in like maybe once a week, twice a week 'cause I'm doing my own shit, but you know, that was, you know, just sitting there. - And Kirk popped into a few of those. - Oh yeah, Kirk's in the movie, yeah, yeah. - Oh he is? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I didn't get a call. - Yeah, thanks bro. - Didn't get a call. Can't get any work in this fucking town man. - Nobody wants me in their shit. - I think, don't act like you, bro. - Too busy, bro. - I got nothing, tell him, do tell him I'm on the outs. I'm on the fucking down slide. - Just it's around all day. - It's around all day. - Yeah, right, all day. - I do, bro. When I, I think I told you last time I saw you that I was like, man, if you ever got something small in your world, I'll jump on. - Oh, dude. - Give me like a little tiny throw away. I told Gillis this, oh, maybe, no, I told Shane, I was like, we were talking and joking and I said, you know what you should do with me with tires? Is put me in the background to not say anything like as an extra, but don't acknowledge it. - Ever. - And he's like, that would be fucking funny. I was like, oh, it's gonna be funny. I would dive me down to do some shit like that. But I think people. - Like a little easter egg. Like as Andrew said, I guess. - Why not? - Why isn't he saying anything? He's busy, bro. - He's busy, dog. (laughing) - He's working on that car like that. - He's got shit going on, man. (laughing) I think that's a funnier version. Because now the world of TV and film is so weird. I mean, it's so strange of like, dude, it's so weird time, bro. - It's strange. So I was like, just throw me in the background for a beat. I think it'd be funny. And he was like, that would be funny. So if it happens in the next few seasons, that would be huge. So put me in the background of your shit. - Yeah, bro, I'm gonna cut a text of you one day. - Hey man, we got this part. Yeah, fuck, sorry, I want me. I'm doing tires right here. - The first, the first, the first background thing I ever did out here was for a funnier die sketch when I first moved here. - Oh crazy. Dude, I did a funnier die and it was like this, rush hour two face off. No, rush hour four or face off two, like a trailer for like a movie. And it was, it was Diddy. - No. - P Diddy and this famous Korean actor. I forget his name. - Bobby Lee. - Something. - No. - Bong Joon Ho. Bong Joon Ho. - Was it? - Isn't that his name? - No, it's the B-Young Hun Lee. - Oh, B-Young Hun Lee. - Young Hun. - Another three part. And then I played this pedestrian where P Diddy and him almost run me over. - No. - Like yo, and I have a line. And then yeah. - Could you feel it back then? You even knew the oil was real back then? - He didn't invite you. - Dude, I have one. - You look slippery. - Yeah. - Hey, you look slippery. - Who the hell's on? - I was like, really? Do I? - Me? - Who me, Diddy? - But no, I kicked it with them one new year's. Yep, there it is, dude. - Yeah. - Crazy dog. - They even pulled that up. - That's crazy. - Crazy. - Yeah. - You kicked it with them though. You hung with Diddy. So you got really hung with them when Cholo Fey went viral. And you know, French Montana fell in love with people grow. - Huh. - He fell in love with Creeper. He was reposting my shit and big boy from the radio station out here. He texted me just French Montana, exclamation mark. And I'm like, what are you talking about? And then some other homies, like, start sending me French Montana's Instagram. And he's like, reposting all the Creeper videos. - That's cool. - Cut to that new years. And his people are like, yo, what are you doing? And I'm like, nothing like, hey, we're in Vegas. Like, we're gonna bring you out here. We're gonna surprise French Montana. - No. - And then he's bringing Creeper and shit. And I was like, what? So they have me. He's in the shower and he's got like this whole team getting him ready. He's performing at the club there at the Venetian. And then they bring me in the, in the suite. You know, he's got his whole team there and fucking entourage and shit. And then I'm like, dressed as Creeper. And then they have me hide around the corner and then he comes out. And I'm like, all right, come on. And I come out bro, just sit in the suite. And he's like, oh, he's like, he's like, I love it. I'm not it. I'm just there like, hey. Did you go to the show with him or no? - Dude, yes, bro. And then I was like, fuck, am I gonna be dressed as Creeper all night, you know? But then he's like, hey, you gonna come out to us? I go, yeah, he's all right, change up. You can leave your stuff here in my suite. I was like, all right, cool. And then the casino sends their security team to come get him and his entourage. And then they take you down to the tunnels. So you don't have to walk through the casino. And then we popped up in this dining room and it's DJ Khaled and they're like, oh man, this is a troll of it. It was a troll of it, you're the best. And then we start eating and then halfway through Diddy comes with his girl, Cassie at the time. - Whoa, dark world. - Crazy, hobby. - That's crazy. - He's an intense personality for sure. - Did he talk to you? - He has to command the room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was, I actually reminded him of that thing. I was like, oh, no, no, no. And he was just like, yeah, cool. Like, you know, whatever, like, you know. I was like, oh, shit. - You don't remember that, did he? When we locked it together. But yeah, then we went before, and then we go pop into the club. It's all sold out packed out. Before they walk in, there are people go and turn any alcohol bottle that they're not in business with. Like, they saw it's not facing any cameras. So they're not seeing next to it. Just like, you know, it's a business then being at the club even. And then they go out and do the songs. Diddy surprised the crowd, dah, dah, dah. And then they kept going and I was like, you know what? This is my time to get out. You know, they went to like this private other lounge in the Venetian and like, white cleft John was there and Drake and fucking J-Lo. That was around the time there was like rumors that J-Lo and Drake were hooking up. They were there together and I was like, all right, you know what? This is my time to go. This is their life now. - That's your time to go. - Oh, yeah, I just felt it. I was like, I don't want to like, overstate. - That's your time to turn up, dude. That's your time to go back to the suite. Get the creep profit. Come back, all fucked up. - Yeah. - Just like, hey, what's up? - Dude, that's a wild story. But you dipped out, you're like, I gotta go. - Yeah, I was like, you know, we kicked it for sure. - I was there, you know, for a minute. And then, yeah, but before we even went to that other after-after-party, we went back to the suite and then homey was a, you know, we're full of party. And then, like, like, did he stood up on the coffee table like telling a story? He's like, command the room. You're just like, oh shit, crazy. And so, like, yeah, homey, yeah, yeah.

Injure, I like to interest you. I love it. Who was it? Could have been awesome. I said that, McPharlan, right? I was supposed to be in one of the planes I could actually see. You know that? Really? Yes, it's your story. He was supposed to board Boston to whatever, right? Isn't that him? That's insane. That's crazy. That's crazy. Illuminati, bro. Illuminati. Somebody sent him a text. Do not fly today. Do. I've had that a few times where I'm like, gosh, I did not fly today. Everything feels like it's going wrong. You know? Do you see that plane? Do you see that Delta plane that they had to. It went sideways and they had to make an emergency. I feel like the emergency landed in Minnesota. North Dakota. North Dakota. Close. That's really close. And they had to fucking land there. Because the plane went sideways. 25 people got injured. They broke broke bones and shit. What? It was crazy. They were trying to avoid a mid-air collation with a B-52 bomber. A B-52 bomber was ripping through the sky, and they had to go sideways to not smash into it. What? What was the bomber's deal? He just chillin. Just rip it. They don't know. Well, they haven't released what it was, right? I don't think they told the full story. But I think about that all the time that I'm like. There's a lot of planes in air space, dude. We travel all the time. I'm like, please, guys, keep me safe. I was traveling with Craig one time. Craig Robinson, you know, I was a host of for like six years, but, you know, he's taking lot more.
flights at me, but we're on planes all the time. I mean, I mean, no, you know, never stops. It's like, fuck, man. Um, I remember I was so excited the first time somebody put me on a plane to do comedy. You know, now I'm like, fuck it. I go back to the airport, man. Like, I hate it. I hate it. There's no good way. We hit it. You ever hit a static wall? No, I don't know what that is. Oh my God, bro. I didn't know what it was either, right? So we're flying and all of a sudden the plane, and then two big old white flashes on both sides. Boom, you know, well, dude, the girl next to me didn't say, you know, I haven't never met her. Nothing she just said next to me. She grabs my hand like that. Boom, and everybody's like freaking the fuck out. Everybody on the plane. I was like, shaker was just a loud noise. No, it's like a boom. Yeah, like a like a jolt. And then you see the flashes. I'm like, the engines exploded. We're going down. This is it. Thousand percent. And then this girl grabs my hand. She squeezed my hand hard. Oh, man, duh, duh. And then like Craig sitting right in front of me. And then he starts playing the piano. And then like, and then all of a sudden we're like not going down. And then the the stewardess gets up. Everybody calm down. It's okay. We hit something where you call static wall. Static wall. Explain this to me because I never heard of this in my entire fucking life. What? We need like a static wall. I guess it's like a static wall that you could fly through. And then you got to just break through it. You got to break through it. Like it's some sort of weather. As it's a static electricity build up from friction within the air. There you go, homie. Wow. Static electricity build up a friction in the air. And you just smash into it. That's creepy as fuck. Dude, homie. That was like, that was a scariest experience. You know, turbulence is like, you know, the statistics on turbulence. They don't cause crashes. They don't crash. So it's like, I don't really trip off that. But you hit the air pockets and land. Those kind of get crazy. That I hate. But yeah, yeah. But that's static wall shit. Boy, woof. Well, all that shit's getting weirder in an aerospace. We didn't we just try to bomb. So we tried to shoot something out of the sky. And it was a bounce right off of it. I did see that. What did it turn out to be? Do you know? I don't think they've released. You don't know how to say you did not fan attention dog. They think it was a UFO, but they tried to shoot that. Yeah. And then it kept. Yeah. That's a UFO, man. What the fuck else could that be, bro? That's insane. I'm by the way, what are they waiting for? Get it over with. Yeah. Just if you're going to come down. Come on. No. No, honestly, tell the government. Just tell us. They are. Well, they know. Well, that's what I said. This is what's the world is so dark and weird right now. I mean, shit's fucked up. But I will say we tell them that we know the truth. And they say, no, no, no, no. Then finally, they admit it. And then we don't care. Isn't that weird? Yeah, yeah. That will be like, hey, man, we know there's aliens are like, there's no fucking aliens. And then 20 years later, they're like, there's aliens. Yeah. But by that time, we're like, whatever. Yeah. You're over the, you're over the fight. Yeah. It's almost like if you get in a fight with your girl or something. And at some point, even if you were right, it's over. So she's like, you feel bad that you fought. So you're like, whatever. It's fine. I don't care. Yeah. I don't even give a shit. That's classic that our society, too, is like that with the drama of like when somebody's trying to hide something. But when they come out and apologize, and it's just like, all right, all right. That's Charlie Sheen. Bro, he's like, yeah, we just talked about the fact that fuck dudes. And they're like, all right. Isn't that wild, dude? Well, also when they were like, he got a, he didn't even know this how young he is. He didn't know. I said, well, yeah, because he had HIV. And he goes, Charlie Sheen, what? That was like a huge, yeah, a huge news story. Well, it only came out because he was partying with people that saw his medication. They took pictures of it. The girls and they blackmailed them. And they blackmailed them, dude. He said he never got out of blackmail with for less than a half a million dollars a year. He's like, that was getting off cheat. One of them. One of them was one point four million. Yeah, one point five. Because they were taking pictures of AIDS medication, HIV medication. And he didn't want it out there. But at that point, it's like, let a bit, you're smoking crack. Let them blow up your spot. Who gives a shit, dude? He had such a perfect public image to me. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like he was such a good, good, good, good old boy. I know. All right. Yeah. Well, no, he did his drug dealer was on the documentary, which I thought was the wildest shit, because his drug, they like got the drug dealer right now. He had like his belly out. Like his shirts all up his eye. Yeah, man, I love that motherfucker man. He probably, we have fun. And just like, yeah, of course, you know, you smoked rock with him all day. But then the drug counselor got with the drug dealer and they, he slowly cooked the, the crack with less and less coconut. That's crazy. And that's how they got him over. So he's like, great. So his drug dealer is drunk. The drug dealer got him sober. But the drug dealer with, you know, with the counselor was like, but this week, let's go back again, just for one more time, just to extend the life of it. He's trying to cut the half life down a little bit. It was a wild documentary watch because it, it just, it's sad that like when someone gets a lot of money and power when they're young, what it does to your fucking head. And then when you have dips in the business, people come back. You got to be careful. You make like two million in episode. That's crazy. Bro, I think we did the math. He did 40, he got 44 million in two years on two and a half men. And I just went like this. I just went for, for some reason, 44 million in two years on two and a half men. And those final years before Ashton Kutcher replaced him or something. They did something really interesting with his show anger management that came out after his, whatever. The second season has 80 episodes in it. Well, because they want to get to syndication. Yeah. I was genius. That's crazy. I've never heard that. So he bought, they bought this indication like they paid into getting this indication fast so they could have it be, you know, they wanted syndication. So they basically scheduled it. So they did so many episodes so fast so they couldn't cancel it before they got into syndication. It's brilliant. I think season one, 10 episodes, season two, 90 episodes. Genius. It's actually genius. It's actually fucking genius. Yeah. They still did it in a year or two or like two years. Of course. Well, that's the Tyler Perry way where I said, get it done. Get it done. Get it done. Then they can't say no. Shout out to Charlie Sheen for really putting in the work. Smoking them. Those rocks. You ever smoke rock? Yep. Yeah. Do you like it? I didn't like it as much as it was hyped up to be right. You like right. You look blowing lines over rock. Yeah. For sure. It was way more fun. Yeah. What do you say? It's not hyped up. It's not as what it's hyped up to be. I don't know. Maybe it's because I was already parting on other drugs when I when I did it. But you know, when people talk about that first time in smoke crack, they're like, all right, when you exhale that that cloud or just, oh, you know, yeah. I didn't have that feeling. Maybe, you know, I felt something, but I was just saying, eh, not like that. And then you're like smoking crack. So I don't know. I don't want that to be a thing. You know, it's funny. There's a stigma to smoking crack. So heavily in society that you're like, it's crack. I don't know. Smoking crack. It's not so crazy different from Coke, but you're like, I don't smoke. I don't want to smoke. I'm not a crack guy. I am a coke guy. Yeah. Yeah. What's the, what's the, what's the wildest shit you got on? What's like the crazy shit you got on? I don't know. Probably, probably math. Math was nuts, huh? Math and, you know, I've, I've mixed like a coke, MDMA and ketamine together and rail that. Wow. And then what's that like, bro? That's, that's gotta be a lot. Yeah, yeah. It's pretty crazy. That's heavy shit. Tweaking hard, dude. But you're kind of leveled out, but it's still tweaking at the same time. But you smoke math? It's not math. Uh, I've done both. Yeah. Which one was the one that was the one? Thank God. Thankfully, no, meth never got me like that. Yeah. I've had homies get on that shit and their life is ruined within a year. Yeah, meth is maybe the darkest drug. But I've also had homies who did it, you know, a little bit, little by little, like, you know, snorted little lines. Like functioning. Like do my set, my, my uncle, wrestling piece, my Theo, but uh, one of my uncles, I got a lot, but uh, he, uh, he was in his 70s, bro. He was snort one little line of meth every morning. What? And just handle his shit around the house. Take care of his wife. Really? Yeah. Functioning on meth. Functioning, you know, yeah. Wow, wow, dude. Yeah. Well, what, what, how do you, how do you die? Uh, cancer. Yeah. But oh, fuck it. I was going to, I was about to be like, meth. No, meth, meth got him cancer, got him. See that kids? Cancer's gonna get you before. And I think the cancer might got him because his wife passed away and you kind of just, yeah, you, that's what they say. Yeah, you just let go after that. What a death by heart, heartbreak or something like that. They, there's some weird statistic. I don't know. You have to look this up about when people spouses die, how quickly they die after because you, you can die of a broken heart. Like in the sense that you give up on life. So your body just, yeah, your body shuts down. Mine is a powerful thing. Yeah, you're just wild. I'm going to go with that fool. You're like, I'm out. Fuck this. I don't want to do this anymore. You got a look at the stat on that because I want to know what that is. My grandmother was like that at the very end. She was very sad because my grandfather died much before her. But she was so sad about it, man. It's called widowhood effect. So showing a significant rise in death rates especially from cardiovascular disease in the first six months to a year after a spouse's death. Six months to a year. That's broken heart, dude. Broken heart. That is what it is, man. It's like your heart just goes, are we out? You're like, we're out. Fuck that. Well, I learned something the other day, and the internet, too, from this one. There's this doctor that pops up all the time on my feed. And he's like, do you know why we do CPR? And I thought, give me your guess of why we do, why do we do CPR? Do you know? Give it a guess to bring the heart back to life. Okay. What do you think to get the bumps? Okay. So you're close. You're closer. So it's not to bring the heart back to life. This is crazy. He said, most of the time for CPR, we find that the heart is no longer beating. So you're clinically dead, right? You're technically dead. And they're like, you're not doing that to try to save, I'm sorry, you're not doing that to try to like bring the heart back because you EMT's need to be able to do that, right? You probably need shot. You need shocks and stuff. He said, it's because the heart will still have blood in it. And you're pushing blood out to get it to organs. So you keep the organs alive. So technically, it's just to keep blood moving and flowing to keep all these organs still flowing flowing with blood. Because like, you're not going to be able to re, you can't, you're not going to be able to re jump the heart by doing that. It's just to get blood to the organs continuously and have blood keep flowing out to the body. So he's like, you're not going to get to the heart. He's like, you're just buying the organs time till the paramedics get there, which is what he said. It could be wrong, but it sounded fascinating because he was like, you're not going to jump start the heart. He's like, they need something else for that.
But he goes, "But you can keep the flow of blood that's going to move and out." Interesting. I saw a guy get CPR one time, and it was the wildest shit I've ever seen because I thought for sure he was dead. But, I mean, I don't even, well, I guess I don't really know because given this, it sounded like maybe he wasn't. But I saw this woman give this guy CPR to restaurant, and I thought, "How crazy is that, that if he does die?" Then she's like, "Well, I didn't save him." Do you know what I mean? Oh, fuck up my head so hard. Ah, man. Like, when they taught us, like, one of my high school jobs was lifeguarding. And they taught us all that, you know, we had to take CPR. And the whole time I was doing it, I thought, "God, I hope I never have to fucking do this." I don't ever want to have to do this, you're going to spill someone from the water. Oh, fuck up. And everyone's wet, and you're like, "Soaking wet, you're in a pool, you've got to drag someone out of a pool." Like, maybe the worst fucking version of it in the world, CPR in a fucking pool. And I had, I had it, and I had the old people. So I hated doing the night shift because I had to do the old, in the old folks, I'd be watching like a fucking hawk. Because I was like, they're the first ones to be like, "Gah, you know what I mean? I have to jump in." Some geriatric. So I'm old motherfucking, no, I'm kidding. Now, I had a ton of little shitty jobs, little tiny shitty jobs, like, you know, not shitty jobs, just a ton of little jobs that I just couldn't. That's the thing about comics, I feel like when you said that you were digging ditches that you're like, "Just know it's not going to satisfy your brain." It's not wrong with the job, it's just, you know it's going to make you more unhappy because you're like, "I need to do something." I need to put something out, man, I need to do a thing, you know? You have to. When I was, even when I, you know, that I did a little bit like, when I was doing that warehouse job at the ship and you were saying, "I was doing some tech support, we were like a startup company." And I was doing all right, like financially, but I was just like, depressed, bro. Just wasn't working for your brain up to this. Yeah. Not these carpets and walls all day, or just like, yeah. It's hard. Some people can function on it, and it works. Yeah, some people thrive in that environment. I'm not knocking it. I get nervous, I get anxious, I feel like I'm, it's like, yeah, and the cycle makes me more depressed. You know, like there's a lot of comics about why, like Fahim was a fucking engineer. Yeah. He's smart, bro. Yeah, I know. I was like, you, I was like, go back to doing that, did you? No. He's a great comic. That's not that smart. He's just a good comic. Yeah, he must be kind of a fucking idiot. But he's a great comic, but there was a lot of comics that had great, like, real jobs. I never had a job where I thought I could be good enough to do it and make a living. Yeah, fucking scary shit. So what are we going to do if it doesn't work out if AI takes over? What's next? What are we doing? We're fucked. Yeah. I don't know. Please, please come see us live. Please watch my special. Please watch a special. Please watch a special on Hulu. Watch our special.

It was kind of like a variety half hour thing. It was pretty cool, but this is like the first deal. It was the first deal. First deal. That's huge, man. Congratulations. Thank you, man. It feels like a big achievement, right? Yeah, I'm just swallowing back. Finally, all right. Cool, you know. Yeah. It's good. And it's like you said, it's good to get rid of that material. Get the material gone. Some of the, I mean, a lot of the material is pretty fresh, but a lot of it was like, all right. Let me just do a bunch of OJ jokes and shit. He's like, it's fresh. I'm doing all OJ jokes. You remember OJ, right? Good. You think you did it. I say that someone else has got OJ jokes out right now. This is kind of related to what you talked about.

What was she kind of relevant to the holiday we just had? What was it? She was an air traffic control with the couple. What if she did late? She worked for the NSA. Yeah. She was a procurement specialist. A procurement specialist in the end items like microphones and listening devices before moving to New York to pursue comedy and acting. Wow. That's fucking wild. She's funny as fuck. Oh, dude. She's hilarious. That is kind of wild. Well, that just goes to show you that these are intelligent people that also loved comedy. I'm an idiot who like comedy. I had no other. There was no where I could go. There was no like job. I could, you know what I mean? Yeah. My job's out here. I was working in the music industry doing visas and shit.
