You tell me. - You keep going and we'll talk. - Well, you cue the theme song, and I'll talk what we're just talking about. - Okay. - Which was you were saying, no, no, no, before Japan, you were saying that I'm an asshole with peer pressure. - You are an asshole with peer pressure. - Yes. - And then you want to do the theme song and then come back? - No, I can, we can keep, we can do it. I don't give a fuck how you do it. - No, I don't, you don't give a fuck. - Yeah. - Maybe prefer. - Oh, I think we talk about the peer pressure and then go to the theme song. - Okay, do it. - Go open. - Okay. - I met my match with peer pressure. - Oh, yeah. - Oh, yeah, with Tony. Hitchcock. (laughing) No. ♪ Where you been and where you going ♪ ♪ This is our race travel show yeah ♪ ♪ We're gonna talk about travel today ♪ ♪ It's you be tripping yeah ♪ - Oh, 'cause he injects guilt into it. So he'll start with like, "Don't be a pussy" and then he'll start being like, "Oh, never hang out with me." I'm like, "This is better." - What are you talking about? - You've already livened it up a lot. - Yeah, I'm like, "What are you talking about?" I get shit faced with you. - All the time. - Multiple nights a week. What are you talking about?" And he's like, "Okay, okay, just I buckle every time. I have four more drinks than I want to. I do two more shots than I want to." And anytime I've complained about it to anybody, they go, "Fuck you, your peer pressure asshole "and you deserve all the peer pressure you get." - That should no one has sympathy on that, because you are that guy. - What's telling you, think it was better? - Second one. - I think, 'cause. - Guys, you just saw, work shopping. - Yeah. 'Cause I added the. - You added the stuff. - Physical, yeah, yeah. - That is the exact movement. That's his exact movement. - Fine. No, no, no, no, no, he loves, he always does that movement. The head shake, yeah. - My favorite is when he gets annoyed with somebody, who's just somebody that's just talking. (laughs) - No, there's no time for it. - There's no, there's just a wasted person. Eventually, I'll just go, "What are we doing here? "What is going on?" - M&D's tossing, M&D's tossing, 'cause he hates what he thinks might be too liberal or whatever. He goes, "Ah, we're like, wait, is there a fight?" - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't like the fight. I go, "Okay." - All right, we're gonna go to Japan today. - Japan. - Run the music. ♪ Where you been and where you goin' ♪ - Hello, everybody here. Welcome to you, but you know, the only podcast that has more to appear, Grace. - I was not the funniest, the funniest, like insulting Asian impression is, 'cause you just make every word and are for no reason. - Yeah, I remember. A rod cast, no, no, no, no, they say pay, they don't. - A bird, a bird. - That's all ours. - Yeah. - Anyone who's gonna write it and I'm like, "I'm very, very, very observant, I'm observant." - Do you remember, will we? - No, no, I won quarter of apologize for all of you, just so. - You weren't in New York, you weren't in New York back at this time, but Russman Eve, who's one of my favorite guys, ever in comedy, and one of my favorite comics ever. He had this joke, it's one of my favorite jokes of all time. It was one of the best, well written jokes I've ever heard, but he, there was a big new story in New York, an agent dude, got stuck in an elevator for eight hours. - Yeah. - And it was this big new story. And Russ had a joke about it where he goes, he goes, I think he was stuck in there for eight hours, 'cause he kept trying to find the R button for Lobby. (laughing) And then he would go, come on people, that joke's a rarity, it's serious, even the Asians are laughing at it. (laughing) It's like, wow, that is an airtight joke. - I love people don't give. (laughing) - You've never been to Japan? - No, it's definitely high on my list. It's the most people, the most surprised I haven't been there. As am I. - It's a great place. - You went once? - Once, and only for three days, but I really got the most out of it. - You were telling me about it once, it seemed fucking tits. It actually was one of the reasons I wanted to go. - It's an amazing city. You and I were trying to go together. We were trying to figure out like gigs that we could at least make enough money to just pay for the trip. - There was a run, Tokyo Fukuyama, and then we were like, we could do a week in between, and have some fun. - Well, I was talking to Tom, we were talking to 7B, we were like, let's make this happen. - Yeah. And I was talking to Tom Rhodes today, and he's going to Tokyo tomorrow. And he was like, dude, I'm going to Thailand after. He goes, there's a run in Thailand where you can actually make a couple bucks. He goes, I'll hook you up with that guy. Because I was like, yeah, dude, all I want to do is be able to go and, I just want it to be a free trip. I don't care if I make money. I just don't want to lose money. - Plus, I don't know if anybody knows this, but if you go, even if you only make $500 for the whole trip, then you're holding your nose like that. You still look like a Jew. - I'm getting to it. - Okay, I'm not pushing it down. This is what I'm hiding it. This is a Palestine march I came across. - This is advice. - The entire trip is tax deductible. - Why are you holding your nose like that? - To accentuate that I know what I'm talking about. - Who does that? Does somebody do that? - I have a hat on so you don't see my horns. (laughing) Get my good side. - The whole trip is, it is tax deductible. I guess, right? - If you do one gig, yeah. So when'd you go, yeah, when'd you go, what were you expecting? Tell me everything about it. - Well, I went, and I'm blanking on the kid's name that used to run it, but this kid over there had this gig. Well, one of the guys was named JJ. JJ, I'm still in touch with. He was the Tokyo guy. But there was another kid, I can't remember his name, but he was a very nice kid, but he had a run in China. So he booked me first, 'cause he was like, "I know you've been over to China before." We talked about it last time. - Yeah. - He said, "Do you want to come back?" And I said, "Yeah." And then he said, "There's this guy I can hook you up with "in Japan if you want to go to Japan." - Yeah, they all know each other. It seems out there all know each other. - Yeah. And I was like, "I definitely want to go to Japan." And my main motivation at the time was, it seemed stupid, but there's a video game district in Japan. - This way, tell me about it. - Yeah. And I was, that was when I was super into collecting. - Yeah, for somebody who doesn't know this, we had to talk, me and Joe, about finances at the Comedy Store once, and you were like, I had just finished a writing job. The next one wasn't coming. That's the choice of freelance work. But like, you're like, I think I got a downsize. I got to save money. However, I think I'm gonna move to a bigger apartment, 'cause I need an entire room for my video games. - Yes. - Yeah, yeah, I don't know if you know what downsize is. - By the way, I am looking at houses right now, because I don't have enough space for my apartment for my meeting click. - That's the records. - Yeah, yeah. So I was super into game collecting at the time. I've tapered off a lot in the sense that like, I only collect now for very specific systems. But at that time, I was collecting for like, I don't know, seven different retro systems. And I was like, Tokyo is the place. There's a video game district. - District. - And there's a video game store. I think it's called (beep) in English, and that people were like, it's the greatest video game store on Earth. - Yeah. - And it truly was. And I'll get to it, but like it was, it literally I was like, this was worth the, every dime I made on the show. - Okay, hold it then, yeah. - Every dime I made on the show, I spent in that store. Every penny. Every penny. - They're so fucking weird. (laughing) It's just like, I have everything for everybody, and it's all like toy-based, is that right? - Yeah, there's, so Tokyo is so big. People told me this before I went, they said, you could be there for a full month and you still wouldn't see the entire city. I've never seen anything like it. The city is nuts. Like it is, it's like a futuristic city. It's huge. It's fucking huge. And there's all these districts, dedicated. Like New York is amazing. New York has, you know, there's the jewelry district and there's restaurant, row, and whatever. But it's one street, two streets. Tokyo, it's like five square blocks of, it's like a true district of like, this is all that you're gonna find in this one area. So it's, no. - It's a weird thing about some other places. In China, it was like this too, the district things. Where it's like, here's the shoe district. And it's just 75 shoe stores in a row. I don't wanna be like, bro, I can make you a not third world country if I just, hey, shoe people, go to the hardware area. Be the one shoe guy in the hardware district. - Yeah, it's weird. Like, I don't know if there's, I would doubt, well, there might be laws. There might be a retail law. I don't know how to do that, but I don't know. But also Japan is an incredibly proper and polite culture. extraordinarily polite, which I was not ready for. I was taken aback at how polite people were. So the first thing I experienced was, you know, I was using Uber to get around and of course it's all in Japanese. So what I would do is I would just hope for the best and like, it's like an Asia. You really have to hope for the best, like, you know, and like, you'd order a Uber or sometimes I'd flag a cab and I would just hold my phone up and just point. They knew that you didn't speak the language. They can look at you. And I would have a train. Yeah. I would have a translator or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You literally, you were not. No. You don't. You're not going to get old, yeah. You don't look. Yeah. You're a right man. Yeah. Yeah. You don't look like anybody there. Yeah. It's crazy. It's cool to not be in a melting pot where you're like, no, you could tell who's here and who's not. Right. Today's episode of "You Be Chippers" brought to you by Amantara. They make products from Aminita, Mascaria, fucking wild who's sponsoring podcasts now. It's nuts. I mean, but also it was supposed to go like, it started with like sex stuff, like fleshlights. And now we're just mushrooms, what a world we're in. Anyway, the people that Amantara have figured out how to make Aminita, Mascara into something you'd actually want to take. Well, I think you've always wanted to take that gummies, tinctures, capsules, even chocolate. Not even chocolate. That's one of the ways to take it. People report, okay, I'm going to have some pushback on this. People report that it helps them wind down. Get genuinely a deep sleep. Yeah, okay. And some say vivid dreams. Some say vivid waking states. Others say it just takes them to the edge of a day that had way too many edges. Some people refer to it as nature's wine or nature's Xanax. Guys, I've taken these at a music festival in England. And I fell asleep in a teepee. I can't pass a teepee. And there was a sign-out that said wandering souls take a load off. And I did. And I fell asleep in there. Someone else came in a later. I was like, "Someone in here, I kept my mouth shut." Adventures. I don't know about this winding down. Anyway. It's not just Aminita. They've got blue lotus gummies, if you're just something floaty, and then we got relaxing Kanna. If you want to mood lift, plus lion's mane, racie, gorgeous hips, it's a whole botanical lineup. There's lots of companies out there selling Aminita on a label selling you basically nothing. Aminita is one of the only ones that actually doing this right real potency. Real sourcing.

But like the cab drivers and Uber drivers, if they didn't know, I guess it was cabs because Uber would know from the map. The cab drivers, if they didn't know, they would repeatedly apologize and bow and be like, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." And you're like, "It's okay, man." It's a don't worry about it. Like it's cool. I don't need to go to the hospital, you know? So that was the first thing I noticed. I was like, "Man, they are polite here." And then the first day I got to the place I was trying to go to and I was walking and everybody's single file lines up at the stoplights. No, really? Yeah. That's so much different than New York. It's crazy. Like it's amazing, like it's like there's a stoplight that you're waiting for the walk sign. And they just, people line up single file and you just wait politely and you walk single file and nobody, Jay walks. Nobody. I was listening to the radio, NPR, Bregg, and it was after the tsunami and they were like in bread lines and stuff like getting food for like, you know, all the victims and stuff and they were lining up. And since the reporter was like talking to some guy and was like, "Hey, I noticed you guys are all very orderly as you're waiting for this food that you desperately need." Yeah. And no one's pushing or shoving. Is that a testament to like how you guys come together? Yeah. And the guy was like, "I don't understand. What?" Yeah. What else? What do you mean? They were here first. Yeah. That was the interesting part. It wasn't like, sorry, we off the line off, that's what we do here. It was like, they couldn't fathom not doing that. Wow. So we were on the subway one day, me and this J.J. guy that set up the show. And the subway cars are carpeted and they're sparkling, dude. They're sparkling. You could drop food. I'm not exaggerating. You could drop food on the floor of their subway station and you wouldn't be grossed out. Like, you'd pick it up and just on a carpet? Carpet. Clean carpet in a subway car. All my New York bum listeners right now are going, "I couldn't wait to shit on that." Dude, everybody sits like this. Like on the subway. There's no talking. And dude, I never do this. I'm always somebody gets so annoyed at this. When people have the audible ringer turned on in public on their phone, I'm just like, "Who does the ringer still?" I tell you who? Black women in Chinese everyone. So, dude, I think I'm finally starting to understand why Nanking happened. There's so much better. You, dude, you. And this one. One time by accident. Of course. Like, worst luck ever. My ringer was on by accident. Yeah. And I didn't realize it. It was embarrassing. Yeah. Because like, what's wrong with you? Like, I needed it once because it was in the other room. Yeah. Dude, my phone went off and it was like the ring tone was like a song or something. And the phone, my phone went off. Amy? Start the map, the map, the map. Yeah. Yeah. Or like, it was like motorhead or something. Yeah. Something. Yeah. It was loud. And the J.J. guy was like, "Dududududududu!" And I was like, "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry." And I shut it off. And they were just sitting there and he goes, "For years to come, these people will tell their ancestors and grandchildren of the day they were on the phone when the man's ringer went off." He was like, "That's insane that that just happened. It's not okay." Like, it's wild, dude. It's wild. Like, it's a different scene, man. Was it unsettling to have to deal with that? Did you wear it? We were like, "I'm out of place." It was awesome and I appreciated it, but then also there's the flip side of it, which is, you know, when you live in a society like that, where there's a far less crime and whatever. Like, day to day, sure. Oh, yeah, was it? Okay. Was it not crimey? There's obviously, you know, the organized crime and stuff, you know. But like, there's- I'm gonna contact with the accusable porn. It's been. Oh, shit. There we go. Anyway. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's like, but then he was telling me, "J.J. was telling me, he was like, here's the thing here, man. If you get arrested, you do not get a phone call." He goes, "People get arrested and go to jail and everybody thinks they're dead because nobody knows where they are for 30 days because you don't get a phone call." And he told me this story of this guy, what's that? So people just don't fuck up as much? Yeah. There's a certain amount of rights that we take for granted that they don't, it's just not happening over there, which helps keep things orderly and polite. But at the same time, you're like, "Well, it's orderly and polite because you're fucking terrified that whatever, right?" So- But he told me this story of this guy he knew he got into a bar fight in the- Cops came and he goes, "Everything was like, okay." And then he said the guy put his hand on the cop's shoulder. And was like, "Hey man, we're good." And the cop was like, "Wump." (laughing) Like Cops, like, "That's it, that's it. You're going to jail. You touch me. We're going to jail." And I'm like, "Wow, that's wild, man." And he was like, "Yeah, nobody knew where he was for 30 days." - He's just out. - Yeah. - Dia says the story. He's told my podcast before we, there was a bar fight broke out and his cop was trying to defend, he's backed up against Dia. So Dia's against the wall. The guy's backwards to him. And Joey's like, it was a mistake. I just took this cop's gun out of his holster. - Jesus Christ. - And then the cop turned and they both realized it's like, "Dude, we're going to have to kill you." And Joey's like, "I'm really sorry." And the cop was like embarrassed enough that it got out, that he was like, "Walk away, I'm walking away." (laughing) - Jesus Christ. - It doesn't seem like that would fly in Japan. Did the cops have guns there? - They must. I mean, I don't really remember seeing many cops, weirdly, like it's not like China, it's the presence is apparent. You go to the airport in China, there's guards with machine guns. There's military guys with machine guns in the airport. Japan wasn't like that. I think it's just kind of like surface level, everything's clean, everybody, or at least Tokyo. Everything's clean, everything's orderly, everybody's polite. But I think the second you fuck up, it's like, they're out of the woodwork on you. - Do they have trash cans? Or is it like one of those where you got to carry your trash back with you? - No, there are trash cans, there are trash cans. And you can also, this is very common now. Here, it was not as common when I went. I guess I went in like 2015, somewhere in there, 16. It's not as, it wasn't very common here. But that was the first place I'd ever been where every single convenience store sold booze. And that was the first place I ever had canned cocktails. - Oh. - So I got there. - It's common now. - Yeah, I landed at like 5.30 a.m. or something or six a.m. Some, it was really early. And they picked me up at the airport. And it was two guys, it was JJ and another guy. And the other guy was like, "Hey man, I'm really sorry. Your Airbnb that you're staying in is gonna be ready to 11." And I was like, "Okay." And he's like, " JJ's gonna hang out with you." And I go, "Well, what do we do?" And he's like, "Do you drink?" And I'm like, "Yeah." And he's like, "Yeah, yeah." He's like, "Let's go." And we went to, we left the airport. He got dropped off. Yeah, we went into like the equivalent of a bodega. And he's like, "Come on, let's get some canned cocktails." And I was like, "What the fuck is a canned cocktail?" And he's like, "Look." And they had like, Jack and Coke, Jack and Club soda, Jack and I was like, "This is crazy." I'd never seen anything like that. I don't even, white claw wasn't even out here yet. Isn't it crazy just when you get to it, when you see a cultural difference or just they would do, and then you're just like, "This is better." Yeah. And this feeling of like newness and like, "Oh my God, why don't we do this where I'm at?" But I'm loving it right now. And you were allowed to drink on the street. You were allowed to walk around with booze. It's weird. It's like, weird. How much you were allowed to do, but then like the stuff that would get you in trouble. You know, putting your hand on a cup shoulder to get your rest in. Especially like, we're okay, buddy. Not like pushing him. No, not being aggressive, you know? That's how China is. I remember that we're all walking around all the comics and it was like 3 a.m. Like, let's get a beer bodega. I was like, this is open. Like the guy's no AC, he can't sleep. So he's like, just sitting in the front. And we bought beers and we're just walking with him. Bottles, like 20 ounce bottles of Hanuken. We're like, we can walk this like, why wouldn't? What do you mean? You can walk with it. Don't fuck up. Yeah, you can drink. As long as you don't skull somebody with it. Yeah, yeah. I'm like, this is so free. They're like, I mean, you can't Google the word freedom there. But it's pretty free. Yeah, yeah. It's a very interesting dynamic. But it's, it's, yeah. And I remember we went to, we got a bunch of drinks. And then we went to a fucking some seafood place that was open at like 8 a.m. And we cooked live sea urchin on a, it was like a place we had your own little grill. It wasn't like the barbecue. I don't mean like that. It was just like every table with a tiny grill. And you got raw, sometimes alive seafood. And we cooked it on this grill top. And I was eating sea urchin that we murdered on this grill. It was wiggling until it wasn't. Yeah, I couldn't, I couldn't bring myself to put it on the grill. And then J.J. was like, I'll do it. You're fucking pussy. Bro, it's dead out of the way. It's not going to, it's not going to find Nemo on me. Yeah. Because that's what I really, that was the other thing I really wanted to do. I'm a big seafood fan. And I saw all the like crazy street seafood they had in Japan. So I was like, I'm going to go out of seafood while I'm there. Do you got street seafood? That seems so dangerous. We didn't get street, like I didn't get to go to the vendors, but we got, I got seafood a lot in different spots. And it was the freshest seafood you can imagine. Yeah, I was the food overall. It was only great stuff. I heard you can't get a shitty meal. And cheap as shit. Because they're fucking, they're bringing it from the ocean like that morning. It's like, it's not being imported. Like they catch it down the fucking street or whatever. And yeah, dude, I went to this one place and I got some kind of tuna tartar thing. And I remember it was like $15. And it was just this mountain of the freshest tuna, the freshest tuna. It was awesome. The food was incredible. I think the yen's pretty strong, right? You think it'd be expensive. It's expensive with the conversion rate and everything. But like, just like when you start to actually calculate, like what are you actually paying for this? It's like, this is crazy. It's actually fun to do when you're traveling. And you're like, how much is it? It's like 27th thought or whatever. And you're like, nice. Yeah, you got to do that. You got to figure out exactly how much you spent. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I always have one of those calculators. I want to ask you about a few things. And then, and then think about it. But the toilets, I'm going to get back to this video game store, all the other stuff. And if you got laid or almost did. OK. But first show, too, and the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But first, I want to stop for a second. OK. Keep going. But Joe has a new special out. Yeah, it's, it's. Yeah. Oh, thank you. I never promised you a rose garden. It's on Netflix right now. It's just for some of Netflix. Yeah. Long overdue, buddy. I was at the taping. It was one of the best specials I've ever seen. Thanks, man. Especially with like, well, we'll talk about it in the end, too. But like, it was great. Thank you. It was just great. And it's so cool to see great stuff come to the light. And so everybody go to Netflix right now and watch. Please. It's fucking, you can't tell me about it. You got two or eights, too? Or no? Yeah, yeah. JotaRosa.com. But yeah, I have, what do I have? I have, just go to JotaRosa.com. I've got a bunch of stuff. There's some stuff that has to be moved because of something I'm shooting. But go to my website and buy tickets. But yeah, guys, the special is great. I won't guarantee you a good time. Very often. But this is a great one. Start to finish. It's like, it holds together. It's not just a collection of bits for like, why is this 45 and not 55? This is one of those where like, this is a piece. And I fucking love this. Thanks, man. Congratulations, Joe. Well, I told you, I've told you many times. In fact, the last time I was on the show was when I was promoting the YouTube release of it. Oh, yeah. But I've told you how responsible you were for me doing that and, you know, you being the guy after COVID that called me and said, get off your ass and start doing stand-up again. It's telling me very bluntly, you know, it's not ready yet. And then I saw you and then that made me go, fuck, I got to work harder. You came to the tape. Yeah. Because that's how I thought about you. I've told you a million times. I was like, this is one of the best things I've ever seen. And this is a piece of work. This is not just, you know, Ari's not just up there telling a bunch of jokes. Like, there is a true, true theme to this. I'm always very impressed by stand-up like that. And that's the biggest thing about the whiskey, that specialty release that was all about whiskey. Wow. I didn't see it. Dude, because he has that new whiskey father telling me. Yeah. Dude, it's, it's, he can mine, he can mine a ton. He does like he can mine a ton. He can mine a ton. 40 minutes on whiskey. Wow. And bourbon. And not just whiskey, bourbon. Wow. He centers in. Or focuses in on bourbon. Really? Yeah. And then has jokes about why it's the best whiskey and, you know, bourbon is this, but Scotch is this. And like, dude, I was like, Jim, this is, I can't, I don't even understand how you did this. It's like he sits, I don't know what, what a fucking animal sits there and mine shut out. Yeah. So, so you, you were, you were instrumental in that. Dude, I have too bad. I didn't have it because I haven't found a place yet. So I don't, I don't have my stuff. But in storage is the play bill from when you were doing underneath KGB. Oh, yeah. I have the play bill. Yeah. It says special things already appear. I still have that. Yeah. Well, there's a few more thanks in the credits, but I think you got your own card because of, because of that. But yeah, when we were workshop at it, you were the only person I thanked because I was like, he's literally the reason. It's not already out. I'm doing this. Like, it's, it's, it's, it's nice because I was out. I thought I was going to be a hoagie, man, but that's, that is ended and that's over now. I left joy roses. [BLANK_AUDIO] - They're still open, but I'm not part of it anymore. But that came to a close. - How's the vertex over? - Okay, let's back to Japan. - Yeah, okay, so what do you want to talk about first? - Whatever you wanted to, I don't-- - Did you fuck? - No. - Did you almost fuck? - No. - Did you try to fuck? - Oh, I'm sure my antenna's broken. - Okay, I was about to say I don't believe you. - There was no opportunity at all. Like, there was no moment where I met a woman, where I spoke to a woman. My show that I did was like wall-to-wall dudes. Like, it was like, like, there was not one moment where I was in any sort of contact or interaction with a woman that I can remember at least. And yeah, no, I was, you know, I would've loved to. - Yeah. - They're very beautiful people over there. - Yeah, and to see your dick pixelated as it goes into a pussy, would've been awesome. And I was in real life, that's so funny. - This isn't real life. - That's it's all mechanical now. - It's digitized, it just happens. - Oh my God. - I thought it was an after effect. - My rick is rickselating into your russi. - It's so stupid. - It's the dumbest joke. - But yeah, it's, no, there was no, I went to bars, I drank. - Okay. - But I was, how was the bars? - That's the other thing, dude. It's got the Tokyo head, the most bars I'd ever seen. And they have theme bars. - Like what do you mean? - It's like a horror movie bar. - No. Here's a weird thing. - Y'all, time out, when you come visit me in London, I got a bar for you. - Okay, I love it. - Yeah, yeah. - What is it? - I'm not gonna tell you anymore. - Okay, all right, all right, awesome. I love it, I love it. That actually made me want to go to London more. That's funny, I might have a problem. The, they have like these theme bars, but then there's these bars. Don't be like these bars were like all the, it's the whole staff is women and they all dress up like schoolgirls. You know, or like they'll all dress up like sailor moon or something like that. And then there's bars where, yeah. They have bars where like there's, they have kittens and you can, you sit and pet a kitten while you drink. - Well, that's lovely. - It's, what a process it holds some of us to generate styles they have. - I asked you about the schoolgirl bar and I was like, wait, are they like hookers? - Yeah, I was like, is it just like prost and they're like, nope. I like, there you don't, no sex work. And they go, no. They actually school, are you doing homework? - No, that's not like, he just watches his wholesome kids doing homework. Why? It gets your mind out of the gutters, sir. You know what I think it is? I think it's like their version of like hooters. Like how we have hooters and you're like, yeah, these girls have like these spandex shorts creeping up their ass and their tits are out. And you're like, it's a strip club and you're like, no, families go there. And you're like, why, wait, wait, what? And you're like, for the wings that are still frozen on the inside. Dude, I get so mad when people say hooters has the best wings. I'm like, what are you talking about? - It's voted by the same people voted Taco Bell number one Mexican food. - It's crazy. It's a crazy thing to say. - They can be fine. There's not much else on the menu. - No. I think it's crab legs and wings, right? - Pretty, I mean, there's everything but like. - It's, it's just deep fried pre-made. - It's just insane. It's just an insane thing. It's like, you've clearly never been to the Comedy Cellar in New York. - So are the wings, yeah. - The Cellar has really good wings. - It's their home run wings. - The best when you go to Buffalo and you go like, you go to Anchor Bar? And you're like, all of the original wings. And you're like, eh. And then everybody's there. It's like, yeah, they didn't change their recipe. We're all do better wings than them. - That's the thing, yeah. The Anchor Bar wings are good, but they're like. - It's just the first ones. - Yeah, they're like, guys, we don't have any of us. We did it. Everybody got to improve on what we did. - Yeah, yeah. - Why'd you leave it? - Yeah, but yeah, there's all kinds of theme bars and-- - It's so fun going into any kind of bar. I assume Japan will be full of it. Where it's like, what's the vibe? It's the vibe because in New York it's either Irish bar or who's behind the bar choosing the playlist. - It's that. - So based on the playlist, it's gonna be a good night or a bad night. - And then the dives. - The dives, yeah. - The true dives. - But the dives, sometimes they're like, I'll play hip-hop, sometimes 90s emo, sometimes it's up to the bartender to make the scene. - Yeah, yeah. - But you don't walk in, you're like, yeah, that's all the same shit. - Yeah, it's Austin. Austin has, as far as the United States goes, the two reigning champions of bars are New York at Austin. And Austin. - Chicago's gotta be up there. - Chicago's great too. But I've never seen, I mean, dude, I was in New York for 20 cumulative years. I had never seen anything like bar culture in New York until I lived in Austin, not just visited, but lived here. - You were drunk here. - Guys, I have some sad news. Unfortunately, the Burt Crusher shoes that I have taken with me all over the world, the 20 countries now, met their end. They finally gave way. I know Burt doesn't even promote these shoes anymore, but I don't care. They're the most comfortable shoes ever worn, and they met their demise. We're trying to film a promo here to YMAC Studios and they broke. The saddest thing I've ever done in my life is to give them up. And now, I'm laying it all bare on the line everybody. The Burt Shoe's are no longer. Here's to you, Burt Shoe's. Now, watch this video as I masturbate solemnly. - Oh fuck, you're out there, hot! No! No! No! (screaming) Oh! (soft music) (soft music) (soft music) (soft music) - My name's Burt, and I support this message. - And was like, so like Austin, I think I've told you the story. The first night I got my apartment, me and Tonbele called me, and he goes, "Come on, man, we gotta celebrate." This is awesome. I'm like, all right, excuse to celebrate Tonbele. He's like, "What were you yesterday?" 'Cause that was just a trick. (laughing) It's a celebration. Yeah, so he goes, "We gotta go celebrate." So Tonbele goes hard. We went to East Sixth Street. - East is the beast, yeah. - And I was like, let's just kind of work our way down East Sixth 'cause I like East Sixth a lot. It seems like there's fun stuff there. And dude, we were out drinking. He goes, "We're gonna walk. "We're gonna bar crawl to the creek." That was our plan. - That's what, yeah. - Creek in the cave is a cross 35 on seventh. - Yeah, you wanna be blackout drunk going under that underpass? - Yeah, yeah. That's the best way to do it. - So you're not scared to fight the crazed homeless people that will come after you. So, but no, so we get drafted at one side of East Six, we're like, "We're gonna work our way down. "We're gonna cross 35. "We'll end at the creek. "We'll say hi to Rebecca. "I'm gonna have a drink with her. "Rebecca's the order." Anyway, do we were drinking for like, I'm not exaggerating. It was like three hours. - Yeah. - And we're in this bar. And I go, "Dude, I'm fucking wasted right now." - 'Cause the bus and mom were in Georgia Russell Daniel. And he's like, "Oh." I thought I wanted to fucking waste it. That smile, that's Jotaroza's a waste of smile. He's like, I don't think you're gonna remember the thing. - It's my only speed. It's my only speed. I have to stop. I was in the airport yesterday with-- - This should be dead. - Yeah, we were flying back from New York yesterday. I was with my buddy Nick and we went to the Delta Lounge, open bar. And he's like, we got to the airport too early. And he's like, let's drink. And dude, he got halfway through a beer. He's like, God, I'm so hungover, this sucks. And I was like, I've had three drinks for your half. I was like, I really only have one speed. I was like, I gotta pump the brakes a little bit here. But anyway, anyway, Tony and I were in this bar. It's three hours later. I'm like, dude, I'm fucking hammered. We walked outside and it's summer in Austin. It's like 8,000 degrees. I walk outside, I go, how close we to the creek? I turn around. We were four blocks from where we got dropped off. - It was so many bars. - Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot we think you're moving and then you're not. We got nowhere, dude. - Oh my God. We're just like, let's go here, then right there, then right back to there, then right to there, then right to there, then right to there. And here's the thing. Austin doesn't have those pesky museums and things to take your mind off. They don't sprinkle in culture. They're like, our culture is chicken, shit, bingo. Barbecue and drinking. Let's go, country music, let's go. And you're like, all right, fuck it. - It was real. When I was scouting for the end, me and Abrams were here. We're like, let's go to every bar with a stage. And I was starting to get down in Austin 'cause I pretty much only hang out in '36. And it was like, it's kind of sucks. And then I'm like, I rediscovered how cool this place was. I'm like, oh yeah, there's so many fucking great parts. Like Christmas one, the fucking, yeah, South for the owl, whatever the owl one is. I don't know, but like, dude. Dude, there's some gems here. By the way, there are some gems and true dives. True dives that have been here for decades. Like you're just like, this is fucking awesome. - We got a story per, okay. First of all, by the way, I forgot to do this before. If you buy the end right now at ymhstudios.com or rshp.com, you get every episode of YMH Live up until August 31st. Is that correct? Nobody knows. - That's a show I'm not on, right? - YMH Live. - No, the end. - Both. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's the show you didn't include me in, right? - I didn't invite you. (laughing) - Just so everybody knows. - Yeah. - One of my closest friends in the world. - You did this not happening. I had to get some people who had never done the original. - It was only people that did this is not happening. Every single person. - A lot of excuses did not fly. (laughing) - Only person. And by the way, was pressuring me to come a week later to just spend quality time with him in New York. And I'm like, you know, you could have booked me on your TV thing and maybe it would have paid for the trip, but no, it's fine, I'll just, and I went, I still went and came and spent time with you. - Guys, come see what Joe missed at the end. - If you buy five episodes, you get the other two for free, plus a prologue, and if you buy 'em all right now, if you're already bottom, you're already having your inbox, the download code for every YMH Live through the end of August 31st. - There's a travel story connected to the end. I was with Shane in Manchester, England. I went with him and opened for him in Manchester, London, and Dublin. You wanna talk about a booze run? - Oh wow, that was Dublin was holy shit. I had a panic attack on the flight the next day. I was so hungover, I had a panic attack. Yeah, we were in Manchester and it was before the first show, we went and got food, we were walking back to the hotel to get showered, and he's like, ah shit, man, I gotta work on my story. And I go, for what? And he's like, arey, and I go, what are you talking about? (laughing) And he goes, he's doing a show call, it's like a storytelling show. And I'm like, oh live show, and he goes, no, no, it's a TV, he's taping it. I was like, oh, he must just have not asked me yet. (laughing) I was like, well, Shane's really famous, that's probably why. - Well, he had never done it. He's one, him, Tony. There were some people who had never done it. So I was like, well, you gotta have done it once before we started. - Right, yeah, yeah, yeah. - But, but, plenty of people had done it. So I am sorry about that. I don't care. It's fine. It was Gomez, like, but I've never done it. (laughing) That's on Legion of Skanks, promoting it every time. It's like, all everybody's in it. - And that. - And he goes, not me though. - Eventually, co-hosted. - Yeah, the guests would be like, it would be me and Jay were both in it. And then it'd be like, column and renazisi, or column and like, and like, Jolis, I was like, oh yeah, we had a great time. Everybody did it. And he's like, column did it. (laughing) Wait, we gotta get back to Japan. - All right, sorry. We'll have a story that I want to say for the next episode we do together, and maybe we'll get with Norman, which just bar culture on the world. - Oh, I would love that. - Because the one story I want to tell is the time we were walking in the East Village and came across a place. - Oh, the best. - But. - Should we save that? - Or, talking about it now? I mean, you know. I don't know. It's up to you. - Yeah, it's not a trouble. - Let's do it now. - The place that got ruined. - The government. - There's a short period of window in New York where you're like, this place is awesome. And you're like, I've come to accept. Enjoy it while you can. The world will get out. Someone will Instagram it. It'll be over. - Well, it's funny. I don't even remember the name of that place. - No. - I try to keep it secret. And then you would go, you would be like, oh my God, I tell you about this new bar. It's called, it's like, you shut the fuck up. We agreed. You're not gonna say the funny thing. - No, no, no, no, that's how it was. - You told Sharad. You told Sharad. - That's, no, I did tell Sharad. That's how it happened though. - Yeah. - Sharad. And then you were like, dude, what are you doing? - Yeah. - We agreed, we have to keep this place secret. - We didn't agree beforehand. You said, what are you doing? And I was like, what? It's an awesome bar and you're like, no, dude, you don't tell people about awesome bars. And I was like, why, I don't understand. Ari has a lot of rules. - I bleep fun places and names in this podcast. - Oh, I have fucking parties at his house. And I'm like, you just did it with the end. I had to have a certain amount of people that I'd ever think like, did that, did that, did that. He's just got these rules. He'll be like, all right, you can come to the party. But you're only allowed to bring a date if you've known her for at least eight months. Like, there's always these rules. - No non-comics. - So when you told me that one, about like, don't tell anybody about the cool bar we found, I thought you were being absurd. I was like, you're doing the thing that you do where you have this weird rule for no reason. And then, and I still agreed to it. I still was like, okay, I won't tell anybody else. But you were 100% right. It got fucking ruined. So we're walking down the street and we're just walking, we're already drinking. I think we got a burger or something. And it was, and then it was like, well, I think I just saw a light bulb outside. But it was an apartment building. - Yes, and it said nothing. There was something that, there was something that tipped off. - There was no storefront. - No, no, it was upstairs. - It was just as up steps and I was like, looking at it and you're like, what? I'm like, I think this is a thing. - Yeah, but there was something on the door that tipped off that you, like, come on in or something and you were like, what is this? - So you go up the steps and then there was a cage, like a drawer or a pawn shop kind of there. And I just kept looking at it and you were like, what do you, I'm like, I think it's like an establishment and you're like, I don't know. And then we're just standing there for a while and someone comes out and I was like, hello? And she just goes, "Uhh, yeah, it just lets us up." - Yeah, yeah. And we went in and it was the coolest bar. There was like 10 people there. - You could tell. You could tell it's every vinyl and an L.A. MP3s. Instantly, it was like, that's his vinyl. - Yeah, yeah. - You're going up the steps. - Yeah, yeah. There was like a real DJ playing actual records. And one of the only people in there was a woman with her baby, the first thing we saw. - It was just a woman dance like this, just like this. And you're like, oh, I don't know. - It just turns, it's just holding a baby. - Baby? - Yeah. - In the fucking Mother Teresa sack. Like the cloth sack. We were like, that lady's getting wasted with her baby right now. This is crazy. - It was massive 10 people in there. - They did. - Sushi in the side for no reason? - Oh yeah, that's right. - That's what gets back to Japan. - Yeah. - I forgot about that. And they were the nicest people. They were so excited that we were in there. They were so like, welcome. - Uh huh. - And we were like, this is our new favorite bar. Why did we never go back? - We went the one time. - I went a couple times. I lived very, very close. - Okay. - But I remember you going like, we're less sitting there drinking, we're like, this is the coolest, cool art and the wall, weird stuff. - Yeah. - And you're like, excuse me, what, I'm a bar owner. - Yeah. - Because you talk, it was like, I know, this place is amazing. Like, why have I never heard of this place? - Yeah. - The guy goes, that's the way we want it. - Oh yeah, he did say that. - He goes, we make our money downstairs. This is where we hang. - What was downstairs though? In the music room. - Oh, it was like, we're bands play. - Jazzy. - That I didn't remember. - We never were there. - Okay. - It was a separate entrance completely. I think they just owned the building. - Okay. - All the floors. The, yeah, it was great. Yeah, and I remember you saying how excited you were to surprise certain friends of yours and stuff. - Yeah. - You're like, when so and so visits me, I'm gonna walk down the street and pretend I don't know this is here and take them in and watch them take it. - Because you did that with Sal with that place. - That was that place. - Joey's face. - Joey's face. - It's a secrets out. - Yeah, oh, Joey's face. - But I brought it out before it was the secret was out. - Okay. - That was another one. We had a good run. It's awesome, but it gets too busy. - So there's a bar here. - Yeah, called a gym. - Called a (beep) - Yeah. (beep) - What about that? - Yep. - Exactly like Joey's face. - I know, I've been. - I think it might be the same owners. I don't know. - I've had to tell Tony to not mention it. - The first time I went-- - Wait, but every time he said it, yeah. I don't know if someone ever went to (beep) Red Band. - Yeah. - He goes, "Let's go to (beep) - Go. - What's that? - Yeah. - He goes, "Hey, you know, it's called (beep) whatever." I was like, "I've never heard of it." - Yeah. - What is this place? - And he's like, "Dude, it's awesome. "It's like this retro dive." And I was like, "Okay, great." And we went, it was just Saturday. We went in, the music was like, "Go, go, go, go." And it was so crowded. And I was like, "You think this is a dive?" What are you talking about? And it was dark. Couldn't see any of the decor. We went in for 10 seconds. - Yeah. - Red Band. What are you talking? Get, come on. - We had gone in there before. - And we went somewhere else and whatever. And then another time he was like, "Let's go to (beep) and I was like, "Dude, no." And he's like, "I'm telling you, it's cool." And this time it was like a Tuesday. And we went in and there was four people and the lights were up a little bit. And I was like, "This place is fucking awesome." He's like, "I told you." I was like, "We went on the wrong path because the secret's out." So Jen would let me stay, weekends is like, it's just too tough. - It's crazy. - But on weekdays, especially early, it's the best still. And she's like, "Come on a weekend, sit with me outside and watch me turn away 24-year-old douchebags." - It's so fun. She'd see people like, "Do you think you're gonna come in here with shorts?" And they're like, "Go to Poco, it's for your trash." (laughing) Hey trash, if you're out there, this episode is brought to you by Poco. If you're a garbage person, go to Poco in the East Village. - What's Poco? - Yeah. Let's get back to Japan. - Okay. So yeah, I went to do a show. - Yeah. - Can we smoke her here? - Yeah, I spoke on my podcast all the time. I spoke on YMH the other day with Christina. - Man, I never think the fucking ever since our parents got divorced, rules go out the window. - Oh, yeah. (laughing) Oh, I did YMH a week ago. Christina had a bottle of jack waiting for me. 11.30 in the morning. - That's great. (laughing) - Yeah, it's great. - Yeah, it's awesome. - Let's go back to Japan. - Yeah. - Japan. - Toilets? - Normal, all that stuff. None of that was different. - None of the bidet shit? - I was gonna clean it. - I was in a pretty low rent Airbnb. Just meeting like, it was like no frills, I mean. - Yeah. - Nothing. - No, I didn't, I don't remember seeing like bidets in public bathrooms or anything like that. I'm sure it exists somewhere. But the good thing was, I got there and my show was the, yeah, my show was the first night. So I went to the Airbnb at 11, after we were drinking. We went to an arcade at like. - Oh, yeah. - We went to an arcade at like 9.30 AM. Not in the video game district, just an arcade. 'Cause we still have the actual arcades there. And they had, oh, he said to open this. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Oh, okay. Now, all right, I'll wait. What? - I don't know. (laughing) All right. We went to an arcade. They had the coolest, okay. Here's a cool side note. Okay, I'll hold it. - Joe. - Is a snake gonna jump out of this or something? - Oh my God, if it does, you guys have double crossed me and I don't like it, but I do love it. - Joe, the theme of your special was how everything has turned to shit. - Yes. - And it stayed with me through life. I see it now. - Sure, shit in there. - No, there's not. - Oh, okay. (laughing) And I just am so proud of you for doing something great. Do you guys want? - Woo. - Are we laughing here? - Yes, you're allowed to. - Yes. - I'm so proud of you for getting it done and doing something because especially once you're in comedy for a while, you're like, this tons of good comedy, but it all becomes sort of like, all right, that's fine. - Right. - And to get something that wasn't fine, that was actually great, is so fucking rare. - Thanks, man. - And I'm really proud of you. I'm proud to know you. I'm proud to know anybody that does something fucking great. - Oh, that means a lot, thank you, dude. - Seriously, I'm very touched by that, thank you. - Okay, you guys coming in? - I swear to God, I thought you were gonna, that was gonna be filled with shit. - Well, it is, it seems. - You said it. - I think you got a hundred percent is. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. - We're no must. That means one more. - In Japanese. - To Joe, do you know how to say cheers in Japanese? - No. - Sometimes. - To Joe to Rosa, and I never promised you a Rose Garden on Netflix now. - Cheers guys, thank you. - Some pie. - Some pie. - Hey. I could not have done the shot challenge with Jack. - No. - No, and kept a straight face? - No, yeah, you're right. - No, no, I love Jack, but no. - That's really sweet of you, thank you, man. Thank you. Oh, okay, arcades. - Yeah. - So, we went to an arcade. They have the coolest arcade games I've ever seen in Japan, and they had ones that I'd never seen here. - E-T. - The two standouts where they had full-sized Mario Kart. - What do you mean, full-size? Were you sit in fucking cars next to each other and race Mario Kart? - That's fun. - It was so fun. We played that for like an hour. We just raced each other. - Those head-to-head racing, these are so good when you can figure out how to be like, "You're not in this one, I'm racing alone." - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But if you're actually in when you're like, you're past each other. - Yeah. - But they had the greatest game I've ever played in my life. It does exist here, it's very hard to find. I looked into buying one. It's $100,000, so I was like, "Well, that's off the table." - Oh, you didn't go, "What can I do to get that?" - I was like, there's more, if I need to make $100,000, there's things I need to spend it on that are not an arcade cabinet. But it's called Star Wars Battle Pod, and there's different versions of it. There's a truncated version of it that I've seen in the States. I never saw the full one. The full one was in Japan. The full one is you get inside of a fucking enclosed pod. And I think it moves if I remember correctly. - Like it looks co-worker, he's like, "Get to the outside." And he's like shooting the. - It's all first person. And it's all like battles from the original three movies. And you're flying, you're piloting whatever vehicle, you know? And like, dude, so the first battle, I just got chills, remember playing this. How cool was the first battle? Is the Death Star attack from the first movie? And you take off out of the hanger on Yavin, like they do in the movie, and you start a send. So you do the ascent into space. And it like tilts, and fucking wind blows out of it. - Wow. - And you're like fighting. It's fucking amazing, dude. I played it over and over and over again. I was like, "This is. I will never get to play this again." And when I got back, I was like, "I have. " 'Cause I own the original 83 Star Wars arcade. It's my favorite thing in the earth. - Yeah. - And I was like, "I have to get that. I have to get a Star Wars battle pod." And it's like a hundred grand. And by the way, it probably weighs a metric fucking ton. So once it's. If you could buy it, once it's in your house, it's there. You better find where exactly where you want it. (laughs) And never drop anything under it or whatever. 'Cause it's there. But they had, and then another thing in the arcades was, this was in the game district. I won't go to the, what I did in the game district, but just to tell you a thing about arcades in Japan, that was the first place I'd ever been, where I realized that pro gaming was a real deal. Like it was when gamer streaming was a newer thing. - Yeah. - But they had gotten fully into it over there before we did over here. And dude, there are, and fighting games are huge there. They're real big on the fighting games. You know, like Tekken and that kind of shit. There are all kinds of arcades in the video game district. And there are multiple floors. There are like five floors of arcade games. And each floor is a different designation or something. They had full floors in these arcades, where it was wall to wall all the same exact fighting game. And dudes were just sitting there, fucking practicing. Like just playing all day. Like just fucking playing, playing, playing. 'Cause they professionally did it. And I've never seen that. - What was that movie? It was with the kid from the show. - The Wonder Years? - The Wizard. - The Wizard. When he goes on, he's like competing. - Yeah, it's the saddest movie of all time. If you rewatch it. - When you're a kid, you don't realize, his little brother is autistic, 'cause I think he witnessed his dad get murdered or something. - In fact, then we didn't know about autism. Like, you can't catch it. - Yeah, it's like, it's the saddest fucking movie. It's not fun at all. It's really somber, it's really depressing. And Fred Savage secretly runs away with his little brother because he wants to make his brother better and get over this trauma by bringing him to this video game competition. And that's the movie where they unveiled Super Mario Bros. 3 to the public. So every kid wanted to see it, 'cause we just wanted to see it. the footage of Super Mario Bros. 3, and it is the weirdest vehicle for them to show you Super Mario Bros. 3. I got to watch it now. But yeah, these guys would just sit up there just playing. I was like, that's crazy. That's wild. That's crazy today. The best development in video games that I've seen is, and they have one of these village in a barcade, is the four-way Pac-Man. That's flat. We play against each other, and not one, one, one, one. We played that. You mean Jim and my buddy, Jim and South played that. We went, we were doing a barcrawl on gay pride day, and we were going to barcrawl towards gay pride. And we had already had a few. There's more bars than we, same thing with the authors, more bars than we considered. And I remember getting tokens, and I was like, whatever. And you're like, "All right, come on, we have the game." Do you remember this? Yeah. You're like, "Come on, come on, hurry up, but I'm trying to put the thing in, and I'm finally getting it in, and I'm tuned up." And you're like, "All right, we have the game." And I was like, because I get lost, because I'm like, "Friends, we do everything, and I forgot it was in public on that day." And I go, "Wait, Faggot!" And we both looked at each other, like, unable to move, like, bro, we're done. And I was like, I think they assumed I was. Yeah, yeah. So I was like, I think I got to wait with it. Yeah, yeah. I do remember that. And I was like, bro, what? I'm like, oh, fuck. If you had done that in Austin, they would have elected you mayor on the spot. Yeah. No, it was, yeah, I remember that. I was like, "Are you Jesus Christ?" Do you remember you texted me that day? And we were on a text thread making the plans, and you go, "I was thinking we could, like, slowly make our way toward the pride parade." And I was like, "That sounds like a good idea." And you go, "I was kidding. Nobody wants to go to that except you, you fucking queen." We never got to pride. I really didn't want to go to pride. It was going to be fun, man. The LA one is a fucking party. LA is better because you have more space. You can, like, back away. New York, you just walled a little. It's once you turn on a street. You just stuck chest to chest with it, too. It's for, like, for like 45 minutes. It's like, it's claustrophobic. They did the HBO. Do you ever see the HBO documentary they did? Where they followed like three different dudes during pride. And the one dude's like, "Ah, he's so excited." He's like, "I can't wait. This is my Christmas." Like, he's so excited. Dude, he's just through the whole thing, party, and party, and party, and Molly, Molly, you know, whatever. By the end of the documentary, he said, I get a room like, "What am I doing with my life?" He crashes out. It's like, "Brown, you just, you burned out all your serotonin." That's all, man. You'll be okay. That's all I'm all with. You'll be okay. But yeah, so, anyway, so. That's fun. Yeah, I get to Japan. So anyway, we went to the arcade bubble lot. So I go to bed, and I slept most of the day, and then I got up, and I went to my show. And what happened at my show is my favorite thing that happened there. First of all, this was weird. Rachel Evan Wood, right? That's her name? Yeah. And Rachel Wood. Though the actor? Yeah. Yeah. Well, Rachel Evan Wood. Who's Evan? She might just go, "No, no, she's still with, because she's on the shards. It's Rachel Evan. Is it Evan or Evan's?" For Evan Rachel Wood, sorry. She played the venue I was performing in the night before. Who did she play it? What's that? What do you think she played it? She does music. And she did music in the venue that I was in the night before, and she was staying upstairs. Yeah. And her guitar player came down before my show, and I met him. He's a very cool guy, and he's like, "Dude, I'm going to try to get, I'm going to get her to come down." I'm like, "Oh, that'd be fucking cool." Yeah. And he went out, and he was like, "Dude, she's not feeling good, man. She thinks she's got like the flu or something, but so I never got to meet her, but she was apparently upstairs. But I was, anyway, that's not the cool thing. That was just kind of an interesting thing. Cool thing. So I'm in the, this is. He never starts telling a story that so you get to the end and like, "Man, that sucks." Yeah, yeah, that wasn't the story. So we're in this place. It was called the library. How do you say that? Library. How do you say it again? Japan? Oh, it was called the library. We had all these rooks on the wall. What is that? Books. Oh, okay. I can't believe you couldn't figure that out, yeah. So there's a very like, very American style bar. It felt like a New York bar. And it was weird because. Was it a theme for them? A New York bar. It felt. That hit theme somewhere. It felt very New York. It was, you know, there was like, the decor was all these bookshelves with old books, and it was called the library, and it was this little dive, and I was like, it feels like a New York bar, which I liked. And then I also, those interesting, because when I was 21, when I first lived in Austin, we would go to this bar called the library. All the time. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's interesting. You don't have to move that one. So it's before the show, and I get there, and I'm hanging at the bar. And, you know, it's a tiny room, whatever, and this kid comes up to me. And he's like, "Dude, dude, I fucking love you, bro. I'm such a fan." The American kid. And I go, "Thanks, dude, that's awesome. Like, where do you live here?" He's like, "I live in South Korea. I flew here for this." Wow. I was like, "Holy shit, dude." I was like, "Well, you just won the award for most effort. Anybody's ever put into see-me perform." Yeah. He's like, "Dude, I gotta buy you a shot. Come on, man." I know you like to drink. And I'm like, "Yeah, let's do one." So we started banging shots. I think we were shooting Yeager Meister. For some ungodly reason. They'll make that. Yeah, yeah, they still make it. And I was like, "All right, so we start doing shots." And dude, he keeps buying me shots. And I'm taking them. Who's the journal? And not JJ. I'm blanking on the other guy's name, but the other producer. Andy? Let's call him Frank. Okay. He comes up to the kid. And he's like, "Man, he's got a fucking show to do, man." He was like from his Scottish or something. He's like, "He's got a fucking show to do. You got to go fucking chill out, man." And I was like, "He's cool, dude. He's cool." And he's like, "No, no, no, no. He spotted the problem before I did." I was like, "Yeah, whatever, man, I'm feeling good." I get on stage, I'm doing the show. It's awesome because it's all just transplants. It's all people that are performing out there. X-pads. And they're just like craving Western culture. Yeah. I'm having the fucking best show. And it's awesome. I'm still doing shots on stage. And I'm having a blast. Dude, mid-show, that kid walks on stage. Drunk like, like, wine oh movie drunk. Like talking gibberish. Yeah. Tried to like grab the mic, whatever. And got thrown out in front of everybody. And the stage was in front of windows. And on the other side of the windows were the steps that led up to the stage. And I watched him get kicked out and have to walk sadly downstairs while I was on stage. From the show he flew to from South Korea. Oh my god. How bad does that suck? I was like, that kid's going to wake up with the worst. Worst hangover. Ever. Ever. Or maybe not. Maybe he's just such a drunk. He'll be like, yeah, fuck it, man. Dude, there's this comic, Andrew Newman. He was in the Hong Kong scene. And he was like a one-liner comic, like Stephen Wright style. Yeah. And you know, those scenes are all kind of new. Yeah. And so he was doing that. And they didn't really have much of that. It was all just people starting to do comedy of what they'd seen on TV much. And Stephen Wright wasn't really on. Anyway, they had shows in Seoul, Korea. Okay. So they went there. And the sole scene was like, okay, there's some comics there. And so Andrew does this thing. The very slow, methodical jokes. And they all just go, dude, you just changed the game. That's hilarious. Dude, we could be, we could be ungodly famous if we just went to other countries. Like we could go to some, you know, really just change a whole scene. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm doing in England. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's so funny. We were talking about Ari Maddie the other night. Uh-huh. And, uh, you know, he was like famous in Estonia. And then somebody was like, you know, he did it for, because he's really good. Yeah. He's really, really good. And I was like, God damn, Ari's good. And they were like, you know, he was like a 15 year vet. I'm the first one to meet Ari. Really? Of anybody. Where'd you meet him? Cambodia. Cambodia? Yeah. How the show? Are you kidding? Uh-uh. William Childress is doing a show. I was like, I'll come by and he was the headliner. We're drinking and stuff like that there. But they were like, this guy. I already met his series, he's bare new. I'm like, no, I know that guy. I'm like, no, he just moved. And I'm like, no, I'm, what do you mean? I know. I'm like, that how could you? (laughing) Like we drank in Cambodia. (laughing) It was like, not bad. That wasn't Pnom Penh. It was like a small city. It seemed really good. Wait, what was the show in Cambodia? Just some show for X-Puts. And he was, wait, to wait. They had flown him in from somewhere. He was headlining a different show, not the Cambodia show. Cambodia show. Oh, that's what he was telling me. But you did, that's where you first met him. Yeah. And was he seasoned at that point? Good enough, the show was terrible. It was half outdoors, half indoors. Yeah. Yeah. Was he an MMA fighter? Something like that, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they were like, do you want to go up? I'm like, no. Like, you're sure? And I'm like, bro, if I bomb, I'm four months in Asia backpacking. Yeah. I got to sit on a bomb for the next three months. That's zero chance. Good sucks. Yeah. Yeah. So, that was the show, the, that was it. That was all I had to do, the whole time I was there. So I had two days to do whatever I wanted. And, do you meet any locals? No. I met-- You're kind of under, under cover, like, traveled. Like that stuff going to bars in China and like in the woods and like-- Yeah. And like, I don't know. You're like, you've been places. It's hard, it's hard in certain countries, particularly Asia, if you're not there for a long time. If you're there for a couple days, it's kind of hard to really meet locals, because the people taking you around are all expats. They take it with the other expats. Yeah, and it's just like-- But also that's cool. The expats in is a part of the-- Yes. Yes, that's very, very cool. But it's-- And then also too, like, true locals, I'm like, wah. I don't speak Japanese, like, not even sort of. So, and it's the hardest, those Asian languages are the-- Forget it. Forget it. It's possible. What's upside down tree? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which was my big issue when I went to the video game store. Well, you couldn't figure out. Well, because here's the thing. So there's different versions of the game systems we had here, and they have different names in other countries. So in Japan, where Nintendo first came from, it was not called Nintendo. It was called the Famicom, meaning family computer. That's the opportunity there. Well, here's-- this is interesting. The reason it got renamed the Nintendo Entertainment-- the company was still called Nintendo. The system itself was called the Famicom, because the idea of the family computer was good. It has come off the heels of Coleco Vision. When they brought it to here, the video game crash of 1984 had occurred. And they were like, nobody wants home games anymore, because Atari over-saturated the market, and too many bad games were made now. Nobody has any faith in this. So they were like, the only way we could make this system work there is if we redesign it and make it look more like a VCR, or a device that you would have in your entertainment system. I just think. And we have to rename it the Nintendo Entertainment System, so nobody thinks about computer or video games or whatever. And that's what that intrigue of it is what gave it a shot, and then it became the biggest thing ever. And it came with Duck Hunt and Super Mario Brothers pre. - I think so, yeah. - So you had this gun thing? - Yeah. Well, I got the first version of it that came with the robot, and it came with a game called Gyromite, which sucked. But you were so crazily impressed at this robot that came with it and all this shit. But yeah, it had the gun and Duck Hunt and all that shit. It was a literal phenomenon. But anyway, so I had, at that point, I had purchased a Famicom. I had purchased a Super Famicom, which was their Super Nintendo. And then N64, you could play Japanese games on the American version of it. There was just a piece you had to remove. You didn't need like a Japanese version. So my whole goal was, I'm gonna go over there, and I'm gonna buy all of these games that they never made for the States, for the American versions. - Oh, cool. - But I had to be selective 'cause I was like, I can't buy any games that are reading intensive, because it will all be in Japanese and whatever. So it was a lot of like, I'm gonna buy these like, shoot 'em ups and, you know, like action games. So I made a list, this guy, John Riggs, who's a video game influencer here in the States. And I met him once at a video game con. And he was very cool. And I was like, dude, I used your videos my buying guide when I was in Japan. And he was like, oh, that's cool, man, 'cause he did these videos where it was like, the best games that never got ported to the States from Japan. So I made a whole list, dude. I had like 30 fucking games on this list for all three systems. And I was so excited. And I got to the store and I was like, fuck, they're all in Japan. - This was two years, I sold a year and a half before Google Translate. - Yeah, I was like, fuck, they're all in Japanese. - I don't even know how to start looking for these goddamn things. - Can I imagine you going like, do you have a big dog and then I go, oh, right. - Dude, so I go up to this guy at the cash register on the floor that had the systems I was looking for. - What's the place called? It was called (beep) And I show him my list. I'm just like, please, please. And he was like, I got no idea, dude. And then he was like, hold on. And he found another staffer and the guy like, could understand reading English just enough. And he took me around the store at like rapid speed. It was like, it was like handing games and like, he was like pointing like this. One is that one and this one is that one. And it kind of took, it kind of took the fun out of the hunt of it, but he hooked it up. And they had almost every game I was looking for, which is why I spent my entire paycheck in that store. And I came home with like 30 or 25 fucking video games I was so excited and I played two of them once. (laughing) - It was a collector. - Yeah. - And that's why I started being like, I don't think I want these games. I don't think I'm more into the have them. - Yeah, I think the collecting part has more exciting than the playing part. - That's funny. But there was another place. I can't remember the name of the other place, unfortunately. But they had like, you know, they had like controllers that never got released here. - Oh. - So like they had like this game, the GameCube was an Nintendo system that had a really funky controller. And there was this thing called the GameCube Fightpad where it was way more like a traditional controller. And it was way easier to use and play games on. And they had it there, they didn't have it here. So I was fine and shit like that. It was very, very cool. It was very, very, very cool. But that was my favorite part of being there. It was like finding stuff like that that you couldn't find here. Going into a record store, hearing a band and being like, who's this? And it's some Japanese punk band. That movie kill Bill. - Yeah. - Who was that? I was just thinking that. I think they're called the five, six, seven, eights. - Yeah, what a cool band. - Yeah, they're in that movie because he was in Japan and he was like on his way to the airport, I think, and went to a record store on his way out and heard that band. And was like, who is this? And fucking bought the record and put them in the movie because of them. - Wow, they were so cool. - They're awesome. - He's got a good ear for music. - He's, yeah. I don't know that anybody's ever been better at. - Breaking back surf pop. - Yeah, to like the mainstream or this like, or Jova Kailn, all these bands like what? Like, these are cool, you just don't know them. - Yeah, he's the, he said before he writes a script, he puts the soundtrack together. - Whoa. - And he writes to the soundtrack. And he said with Pulp Fiction, Dick Dale, Miserluse, that song at the beginning. And I remember seeing it in the theater on opening weekend. And when that song kicked in after she's like, "I'll execute every mother fucking last one of you." (imitates singing) - And it was like, holy shit. Like you're like, it's so just like supercharged opening. And he said he did that on purpose 'cause he goes, "If you open a movie with that song, the movie has to live up to it." - Whoa. - I was like, "That's great, that's great." But he, every movie, every movie. And Django, when he's got Django coming out with the guns and two pockets playing. - Yeah, it's so opposite the historical vibe of that. - Yeah, yeah. But you're like, "This is fucking awesome." Like he really knows how to put songs to picture. - Yeah, that is one of the cool things about, you go to a record store somewhere and you go like, "I really went to one in Melbourne and somewhere like in the cool area." if it's Rovia, I forget. But like, he was like, can we be a local? You want to use the cool record store, you know? Not just a corporate, you're like, who's good locally? - Yeah. - I think, oh, like these five, like what's the vibe? And the rock and roll, I was like, oh, try this. I'm like, yeah. - Yeah. - Okay. - Yeah. - You find Jams. - When I was in Scotland at the beginning of Edinburgh, I went to-- - Good time roommate. - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Actually, I'm sorry, I was on my way to Scotland. I was in Dublin first for the Vodafone Festival. And I went to a record store with Soder. The like, second day we were there, and I was just getting it really into Motorhead at the time. And because it was over there, and not far where they're from, they had every fucking Motorhead record, like original pressings for nothing. - Wow. - For nothing. And I bought so many Motorhead vinyls. That's how I got the bulk of my Motorhead vinyls. - I think I had to take shit out of my suitcase in order to get it all home. - That's the hard thing you find when you're like, am I suitcase is not made for getting record home? - I had a stack like this, and I brought them to Scotland and then brought them home, but yeah. But yeah, it's great shopping for music overseas. - Japan is also oddly into country music. - They are? - They heard this, like, a whole scene there, like they're super into country, like old country. - Really? - Yeah. - So people play it, Japanese people play country. You're not like live. - Yeah. - Yeah, and bluegrass and like, yeah. - Do they do it like-- - Burger. - Do they put-- (laughing) - Do they do it with like, do they add like a Southern twang? - Good question, I don't know. - There's gotta be video of it, right? Can we look it up? - Japanese playing. - Yeah. - Yeah, I wonder if they do it that way. - I bet you they do, I bet you they add-- - Their version of like the accent? - Yeah, 'cause I feel like that's part of the aesthetic of it, right? Like that guy right there, listen to the sweet sounds. - Yeah. - Here's this one too. - Who's that cung-de? - Wow. - Please be in Japanese. (upbeat music) - So no, they're not, they're just singing. - Do we see the other one to see if-- - Moving? - Oh my God. - It's simple. - I get the comments now. - This is from the Abel Fiber-powered Internet for just $40 a month. - These aren't even sponsored. - By the way, hold on pause before you play this. Guys, I have done an experiment for the next month. This is part of that month. I have taken out all the YouTube embedded ads from my podcast, and I'm saying just give a buck into super thanks, and for this experiment works, we will continue putting no ads in YouTube. - How do you take the-- - You just don't say no ads, put no ads. - Oh, you don't monetize. - Yeah, no monetize. So then it's up to you guys if you want to do it. I'm assuming it won't work out. But if you all throw in a fucking buck once a month, then it'll pay for it. - Actually, it's a bad idea. - Let's see, I'll tell you how it goes. This is week two. - All right, all right, that's, yeah, tell me if it works. - Okay. - Let's hear this guy. - Yeah, let's hear this guy. Two more ads. - All right, this is country country country. - This is country country country. - The other thing was little blue grassy. This would go either way. I think he's gonna do it. ♪ Are the me ♪ (laughing) - Wait a minute. This isn't a, wait, pull up, pause it. It's just an American guy that's Japanese. - I don't know. - This is a guy from Japan. - The guy in the left looks. - Wow. - But no, I know he's Japanese. I'm saying though, is he from the States though? - He looks, this looks like everyone in the band is Japanese. - Uh, Japanese country western band. - I mean, this guy's sound, he just sounds American. Unless he just nailed the- - That's what he wants you to think. - Yeah, PBS, Bluegrass, Music in Japan. No, they're all Japanese. - Yeah, actually, that's the tell, right? If they rest in the band. ♪ I'm a forever ♪ - Well yeah, and it's translating at the bottom. So yeah, I guess so. Wow, that guy's, I gotta did it. - Yeah, he did it. I think I really did it. All right, there you go. - Overall, great trip. - It was great, it was short. It was short, but it was great. I really wanna go back. I talked to Alexis Fox, who's a good friend of the network and a very good friend of mine. You've been in Alexis, we've spent my birthday with her, when she goes over there all the time. And she's always like, "Just come to fucking Japan, let's go." Like, I'm like, that's, I wanna do that. I wanna go with a friend and like- - Just go, it's really, yeah, because that's the other thing too. The guys that hosted me were very generous, very nice, but I also didn't really know them that well. - The good thing about getting, I call boots on the ground. It's like, you get some advice from people who are actually there, like if they're visiting Austin, East Village, but forget the travel books. I'll tell you where it actually to go. What places to go up in late, food, and whatever. And so you get some advice from those people for one day, hang on, and then the next seven or eight days, you take that advice and you go off with your friend and do your own shit. - Yeah. - Yeah, we should, we gotta do that. - It was like life came up, so we couldn't get it done. - No, it was, it's a very, it's not an easy trip to plan. And then also too, there's like a season where you should go versus when you should. - Shoulder. - And it kept like, 27. - I think it was like, I think the problem we were running into was they were saying summer was a good time to go. Our summer. - Yeah, that's theirs too. - Is it the same? - Yeah. - Okay, so they were, I think they were saying that was a good time to go. But we were like, you were particularly, we're like, no, summer's no good. Like, 'cause you were taking off or what? - Yeah, I think it was taking off. - And so I think that was the problem. And then it's, it's also tough to go. - We travel all the time. So it's like, we stay in three weeks. - In the fall, yeah, exactly. In the fall and winter, that's the busiest time for stand-up here. - Get a planet way out. - Yes. - We'll plan it with Big J, and then he can cancel on us two weeks before. - I'm going, I booked a fucking Portland, Maine, at 120 Cedar, I didn't know. Like, what do you mean? What's it in you know? - Yeah, that's really good. - You ever gonna tell us? - No. - Probably not. - No, he just won't show up. (laughing) - Yeah, he just doesn't show up. - Yeah. - Do you have, if you had to go, do you have any regrets? Do you have any tips for anyone going there? Like, if you're going through this, or do you have like, I wish I had done this. - No, my only regret, it's not really regret. I just wish I had had more time, because there's a lot more I would have explored, just one city. - I'm also like, why didn't I just go inside the weird bar where all the girls dresses school girls just to see it? - Yeah. - Where the cat bar, but at the time I was like, I thought I said, I think I might be talking out of my ass. There was another animal bar. It might have been like, ferrets or something. There was another type of bar with animals, where you could just pet an animal. If there was a pig bar, you would have been in there. (laughing) - Yeah. But yeah, there were certain things where I was like, why didn't I just go in there? - Yeah. - But no, the only thing that bummed me out. - There we go. - Cat, cat, fe, mocha, cat, fe, mocha. - Oh, they do, they have many pigs. - Many pigs. - Head jogs. - Wow. Dog bar. - All Shibu and Obar, dogs. - Can you look up the school girl bar without getting on a list or some kind? - Yeah, take off the safety protocols and then search the. Yeah, there it is. See what I mean? - Female staff tend to counter and chat with customers. They are distinct from high school themed or underage operations, though some gray market JK businesses involve young looking aesthetics or accompaniments. - Yeah, I remember them telling me that that it was big for businessmen. - Businessmen, they like it. But again, so is Hooters here. That's what Hooters was. So I think it's just their version of Hooters. - So funny you go to another place like, oh, no, we all think this is terrible. That looks cool. It's not even hot. It's not even that catholic cool. Hi, by the way. It was open that one up again. That the third one is Japanese. - No, and also like much older. She's like the boy band where they always have one. So you're 37. - That's a Slavic woman. - Yeah, they ran out of money on her. She's Bulgarian. They give her a different color arm band. - Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, the girl on the very end isn't even in a school girl outfit, is she? - She's just back there, she's a tourist. She's a tourist from Woodland Hills. - Yeah, it's an odd thing. I don't really quite get, but I don't know. I guess a theme is better than no theme. - The guy of the counter is just slapping down stuff. I'll play you for slaps. - Oh yeah, yeah. - There's an island you can go to. - Yeah, well there you go. I saw the picture. Now I don't regret anymore that I didn't go in. - You at least want to peek your head and know what you're missing. - I think when I was walking by these, I was alone and I was like, I don't want to go in there by myself. - I get it. - I get that. - Like I just, you know, I'm not gonna beat you. Be able to translate look at that. Well, Alie. Well, Alie wrong Alie wrong. Yeah, she looks alright Yeah, that one. Yeah, it's like so click on where it says girl bars in Japan the complete guide Boo, and then go to visit No, no, yeah, there you go. So Just some dumb fuck bartender. So I guess like this is the thing. This is this is this is more What it is, it's that they have these girl bars. Oh And do I have to go alone not at all So what is sex involved? Absolutely not see. Oh, I Know make sure you go less doesn't it. This is the those two girls are big bartender those girls do not allow customers to exchange contact information with the bartenders Okay here at a girl bars usually charge customers and increments of 30 40 or 60 minutes This is what's odd. It's like you you pay for their time But it's not like a strip club or anything so I'm like I don't really get what I don't get it That's whenever whenever I go to like strip clubs early on when they really have much money for it Like we go to the back to the champagne room. It's like we can have more fun. And I would always be like How much is that exactly costable? What will I get? Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah. Oh, they I'm sure they love that question. Yeah Skumbag yeah, that's Rogan when he said he had an old bit about it when he goes What's your club and was like What's your name? She goes I don't get my name out because I find most people in here are creeps He goes no, that's not me at all. I just heard there was a place where I could look at some girls pussy for a dog Don't get on me because Don't get on me because you dropped out of high school and I have 20 nickels That's really yeah That's a that's a really that's really fucking funny. Yeah, yeah, one of my first jokes ever wrote was Gentleman's Club. How they called it gentlemen's Yeah, I was going. Yeah, I go so rarely do you hear gentlemen go and show me your ass hole war? We're in Pittsburgh one month and we just heard this guy in the last week, you know the strip club voice and he goes gentlemen Please stop throwing change at the ladies That's amazing Yeah, great trip. Yeah, yeah, I wish I had more I feel like it was great. It wasn't like it was fun No, because everyone's experienced there so some people like I didn't do shit Some people like his all I did was this some people like oh, I went and did everything cultural Some people I didn't do anything culture. I just got hookers the whole time. It's just like what was your trip? If I went back I feel like I feel like two weeks would be plenty even though even though I'm not seeing everything I feel like two weeks more than enough because You'd have a handful days where you go Let's get in a train and go to the countryside or whatever and then you'd be like I'm gonna get I'm gonna hit these 10 amazing restaurants Go back to a place you liked yeah, they're again. Yeah. These are the these are the 10 bars I definitely would like to see like that, you know I feel like two weeks would be a nice nice run. I feel like that's a good amount of time anyway That's solid. Yeah, you start going like you need a day like hey, I don't want to talk to you today. Yeah, I'm gonna go my own thing Yeah, yeah, you start getting annoyed by whoever you're with That's the tough thing with traveling with somebody is like you have to figure out how to have your space one is great You get a little lonely, but you can actually meet people because you're lonely two is like Solid, but then you get real annoyed and then if you get a group of 10 then it gets good again because you can break off into crews You're right if you're like I don't feel like oh well the nine of us are going out. What do you think the smallest group? That's good for everyone has to hang out Five or six so you start getting like two could do this for can do that like why don't you that like do you want to come this instead? Like like if we go to like Montauk and you and somebody else like I'm gonna go to a bar Everyone else like I want to go to the fire. It's like well you guys go. Yeah, just two of us Everyone has to do six six would be awesome two if it was three couples because then You could be like you could have the days where like me and this guy are gonna go dude Out and you girls go girl out. Yeah, and then and then on this day me and my lady You're gonna go do a thing just the two of us and that's probably less case scenario. Yeah, you know, mm-hmm Yeah, anyway, do you have any travel tips overall in general? General travel tips general or yeah, no, no, I do be careful and learn their Not just their laws, but learn their etiquette and stuff before you go because That's the only time I've seen people have problems When you fuck up when you don't think you're fucking up. Yeah, and cuz you don't realize I'm not at home anymore Especially if you're gonna go around drinking. It's like you you it's real easy to forget like I'm somewhere else right now because I'm loose some buzz I'm having fun That's this is that's for that. There's what people in Paris. I think everyone's rude because they don't realize You're going to restore and you're like touching stuff whatever and that guy owns the store Yeah, and you didn't say hi. You just started touching their shit. Yeah, and I go hey, but you don't think you're doing anything wrong Yeah, but from their perspective like yeah, no, no exactly and it's it's You know me and again me and Sodor me and Sodor almost got ourselves in a situation in Ireland In Dublin is he drinking that he wasn't drinking he was thinking about going off the wagon and I was with him and Annie Letterman and there was a Who's the third fourth person was me Annie Dan and Annie so worth maybe she's good to drink with yeah, I don't remember but two of us were drinking and those two weren't and Sodor was like thinking about maybe having a beer man, and I was like hey brother What happens in Dublin stays in Dublin?

I'm just not not to do yeah Yeah, I just want him to be fun I miss you Danny But we went into a bar because we really were Dan has still a problem and I think you would agree because out What I'll do when I have a house party is I don't want anybody to fill left out so I get an a beers And I'll go beer so they can have cans whatever one time Roy Wood was like I was like well, you're sober and goes no, what do you mean?

Yeah, he's fucking hitting him I did it's funny. I never thought Dan never got out of control like like I was with him once on his birthday And he was smashed and it was the only time where I was like, oh, he's really smacked But I was also like it's his birthday though, so like fair But he far more times than not told me like let's wrap it up And I'd be like come on man.

Yeah That's mean he wasn't a good one ever so he did have his great times that's the he would go over the line We're like hey, let's ditch Nate He's really annoying. I don't know if I ever told this on a podcast before when he was drinking we were a big J's bachelor party Uh, how'd that work out? They didn't it didn't work out they got the worst the uh But uh now we were a big J's bachelor party and um I mean we were obviously shit-housed And Nate came up to me. He was like newer in New York at the time He goes you know what do I was Everybody says I got to watch you so funny so good I've watched you man. I got to tell you I Don't see He was dead asked dude. He was not joking I was like Jesus He got aggressive he jigg. Yeah, he would get he would get like sway you aggressive But he was fun to drink with uh Me and Soda had we were in Bonero.

Yeah, I had Irish neighbors when I lived in Harlem Like guys from Ireland. I mean and this guy George was so fucking fun And he would turn a corner And it would get like, you know, it's fun until he started to be like, come on man, six million, give me a fucking break, man He said that to Rachel Feinstein. Wow, and Rachel's like your Irish friend keeps arguing the numbers of the Holocaust with me I was like, he's blacked out right now, and then I remember this is a true story I was trying to quit drinking at one point and I went to an AA meeting and they were like, anybody knew and I was like, hey, my name's Joe, try to, you know, whatever And then after the meeting I hear this guy's like, Joe, and I turned around and it's George He's like, what's going on man? I was like, I think we both fell off the wagon. But anyway No, one of my favorite drink answers it was when they used to have the Creek in the K in New York and They did it was early skeg fest there was just it was so fun and I went in For the last day, it was when I was living in LA and Bert was there And Nate was there and I got to be a workman. Yeah, I got super drunk with Bert like, you know, and I had to do the comedy jam and Do the comedy jam was Nine hours after we started drinking, you know, so we get to the comedy jam and I'm like Swaying and shit, I go Bert Summer somebody just offered me a bump Should I do it and he goes if it'll make you feel better? It won't be right now. Didn't the comedy jam It's like a definitely a shoulder. It's also got like a scholar cap on. Yeah, yeah, so then the next day I'm so hungover.
