Rick Glassman shares insights from his standup comedy tour, detailing upcoming show dates across cities like Dallas, Cleveland, Washington, DC, and Houston, with a request for fans to sign up for his email list to get alerts when he visits their area. The podcast highlights its history of being recorded in seven different locations, emphasizing the spontaneity and travel involved in the show’s production. A central theme is the humorous exploration of self-image and confidence, particularly through a metaphor of a "plump dick" representing emotional and mental well-being. Glassman discusses how his performances are shaped by a fear of silence and a compulsive need to keep audiences laughing, which stems from a deep-seated insecurity. He also reflects on audience reactions, including moments of offense or misunderstanding—such as a joke involving the word "nips" that sparked controversy—showing how he navigates audience interpretation and sensitivity. The episode includes playful banter, personal anecdotes, and commentary on comedy culture, including references to stand-up traditions, social media trends, and the impact of viral clips. Sponsorships from Prize Picks and Revolved Man are promoted, offering listeners incentives like $50 in lineups and 15% off on men’s apparel. Glassman concludes with a candid look at his own insecurities, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and the value of embracing discomfort in performance and relationships. The segment blends humor, introspection, and social commentary, illustrating how personal vulnerability can become a strength in comedy.

It's easier to take sweatshirt off and on when you're cold, because when you're hot and you sweat, it changes too much. You know, when I'm sweaty, it changes my mood when I'm cold. I'm just like, I'm cold. Let me put something on. What do you guys think? I want to do a little weed. I'm not going to. You're nodding yes to do weed. You should. Why? You get fun in silly. You do get fun in silly when I'm on weed. But I don't want to take weed because it makes me fun in silly. I want to take weed when I want to get weed fun in silly. Does that make sense? No, no, I'm not fun in silly. I better do something about it. That's not the right time to do something because that means I'm not accepting where I am. And I think I do. I think Mark and I have podcasted maybe in more places than any other people I've podcasted with because each time, let me see, it's been in a different place maybe. I think this is the first time at this place. So the first one was at my old place. The second one was at Marshall Ragallery. The third time was at a hotel. Fourth time was in New Jersey. The fifth time was in a studio in New York. And the sixth time was at a different studio in New York.

I've done nothing today, but yet so much. I've said on seven different couches and talked and then got newbers. So I didn't do the driving. I barely stood up, but yet it's still a lot. Isn't that weird how that works? Think about it all the time. When I travel, if I take a plane for five hours. Exactly. Why am I so tired? Why am I so tired? I think it's because it's mental. You're what's my gate? Got to get through security. What time will we add here? When do we land? How do I get home? I got to get an Uber. It's all, it's like when I was in high school, I was a whipped quif and I had a girlfriend. I'd go to the mall with her and carry her bags, like a big douche. What's wrong with carrying her bag? Well, I was like, I was the guy with eight bags and she was just trying shit on and I was trying to get laid. And I was drained after because it's the mall was so mentally draining all the colors, the stimulus, the picking, the choosing. Yeah, man, we would never make it as soldiers. Sadly, no. Or maybe we'd, something would kick in, I don't know. Think. I think so. I think I think you could, you got a psychoside. I could see you getting crazy just running into a battle with a bayonet. That's nice. Yeah, plus you at six, nine. Depends on my confidence. Okay. Usually six, three or the heels. Yeah, either way, but I'm five, 10. I'm sturdy. I'm am nimble. We don't die. Five, 10. Cream about will Jibar. He's a death door. He sat behind me once on a plane. Say that again. And he sat behind me. I can't. That's something you only say once. All right. Wow. He sat behind you. He sat behind me on a plane. Well, he, I mean, yeah, I mean, it's not an order of prestige. You know, I know, but that his feet go all the way through and come up to your feet. No. Okay. What else? I just can't imagine, you know, we give all these fat people, you know, hey, you want a seatbelt extender? Hey, why don't you, why don't you come into my seat, your big tub of jizz, but with tall people, it just fucked. Well, you have to sit in first class or extra legroom at least. At least, but a Karim Abdul, Lual Cinder, before he went muzz, uh, that was, uh, what is he six 11 thingy seven, three. That's what, uh, that's what the sports casters do. Every time he would do a hook shot. Uh-huh. Where's he from? By the way, when I ejaculate, my dick is curved. So I call the hook shot. Hits the neighbor. The lady's waiting for it and hits the cat and a hook shot. You get it? Think so. They used to call me captain hook in high school. Oh, you were just coming on a lot of people in high school. Well, now I swear the hook. I could take people off stage of the Apollo. Did people see your dick a lot in high school? Oh, yeah. What are you kidding? You strike me in somebody that didn't have much sex until you were older. Wow. Just talking about my friends here. Got it. Men, boys and the teacher ones. But I got a day. He got the day. All right. It's been a long day. Yeah. Doesn't show. Okay. Great. Boy, that's a big TV. What is that? Uh, television, 80 inch. Think.
I think it's I think it's 77 whoa. What a year. I asked Kreme if I could recline my seat. Oh, really. Yeah. What did he say? Said, absolutely. Don't worry about it. Wow. And I went halfway. Only halfway. He said, like, go the whole way. I said, it's a half way. It's fine. I didn't know you could do a halfway. Lean or you're not a fan of black music. Are you? Wait a minute. Lean back. Lead back. I got it. Well, wait a minute. You lean back about the cough syrup stuff or as lean back just about the dance move. Lean backs with the dance move. Yeah. That's not what that's not the pun I was. Oh, you're going lean like a little Wayne. Well, I went riga mortis or riga. But isn't that that cartoon that what's his name got fired off of? with Dan Harman with Pickle Ray. Justin Royland. I was at the new guy now. Oh, he's the guy that got fired. Oh, I think Harman got a lot of water himself. He got in hot water too, but he got out of it. He got out of it. It's with the hot water is bad. I mean, hot tub. Bad for his bad for you, though, to sit in a hot tub for too long. So getting a little hot water is okay. So. Hey, that's good water right there. Wow. It really is. It really is. This is our seventh time podcasting on my podcast. No way. And this is our seventh location. Wow. You're moving around. You're a no mad. And I'm a no mad. I'm basically delirious. I did rich eyes and bobby Lee Harland Williams. So it's Santino and now I'm here. Well, we lost the walk the host, which is not easy on in your own home. There we go. You got the glaucoma. Well, when you get the nice water, would you have Paul wrote on and the the the the wages went up? No, that's not what happened. Well all over me. I'm drinking water for 42 years. Let's get it right. Okay. Hey, those are cool. Thanks, man. I like them. I think my Nana has a pair. Is that Nana? Is that your grandmother? Yes. My Nana made a mean fried chicken too. Now that's not a joke. She made a great bird. All right. What are you doing? You got the Hello Kitty, the Asian version. Aren't they all? I guess you're right. What would the American version be? Just a cat, right? It'd be fun if we went hero Kitty just mixed it up. You gotta give me some feedback here. You just stare at me. And who's this guy? You got Dirk Diggler on the on the ones and twos. Have you guys not met? We met a few times. What's shaking? This is McCone McCone. This is Mark. You look extra porny today. I don't know why. I don't need the stairs. The hair is got the mullet cooking shorts with the bulge. And shorts. Is there a bulge? Well, I try to give him a little generosity. You know, I was I was walking my dog in some shorts yesterday and somebody texted me something that got me a little excited and I got a little bit of a boner. Whoa. What'd your dad say? Funny. He said something I did was funny. I never does that. And I got a little bit of a boner. And I was at first. I was embarrassed. I don't know if embarrassed is already what I was like thinking like this isn't appropriate. Like I you could see my you could see a bulge. Oh geez. And I was also thinking I don't have a hard on. You could just see it more. Yeah. And I was also thinking it depends on where I was in what I was doing. But I'm comfortable with this. Okay. But it felt like it shouldn't be. So like, like I I I arch my my butt back a little bit. So the penis wouldn't be hitting the front of the shorts until it went away. But like, why? Well, it's also interesting when you think women have tits that are bulging constantly. Yeah. But I think it would let's be the tit and more when it's a hard nipple. Ah, that's a good good point. Thank you. Pun intended. Huh? Were you making a pun? No, I wasn't. Oh, good catch. No, or you were in those shorts because those will really show off a little. Okay. No, but I pretty much only wear basketball shorts. Ah, you're like out of Sandler. Yeah. I saw him at a Netflix lobby. And he was wearing basketball shorts in a like a shitty polo. And I was like, that guy is comfortable. Yeah. But wait, wait, the bulge. It wasn't because that wasn't a boner. A boner is inappropriate. I'm sure the boner is a bra. I'm just saying, there was a little extra blot. If you take your penis right now, yeah, and you hold it toward the bottom. And just like, yes, do one of these. The old windmill. Yeah, some blot will go to it. Of course. And it'll just be a little bit more plump. Of course. Yeah, yeah, there's a little, it's got a little life to it. Yeah. I love that. I love a plump dick. Better than a do not. And the podcast begins. Yeah. Cut that. No, I mean, go on. Let's talk. Well, let's make this the plump dick episode. Well, this is how I compare it. I go, you know, when you're having like a good confidence day where you're like feeling cool and you're on, that's a plump dick. And then you know, when you're shriveled and scared and half of it's inside you, that's me insecure. So my dick is like a great representation of my confidence level. It's kind of like, do you remember when we were younger, you're a lot older than me, but there were these cards you could keep in your wallet. And rings had this too. It was black, but you would put your thumb on it or you would wear it. And it would turn colors. Yes. It would tell you your mood or something. Yes. Yeah. Also, it's like when your dick is Stefan, or just Steve Urkel. You could have said Steve. Oh, yeah. You're smart. I get it. You're spilling everyone. Yeah. So that's, yeah, that's a plump dick. And I only show my wife the plump. Still. Yeah. Well, the softy is just so sad and pathetic. I feel a little bit embarrassed when somebody I'm with for the first time. If they see me with a sad dick. Yeah. Before they see what my, what would you call it? Happy dick? Happy dick. Yeah. Good soda. So explain this to me. It sounds like a soda now. It's a happy dick. I don't, I think you're, I don't get it. It's not again. It's just one of those. You want a happy dick like that? Yeah. It's also be a happy dick. Yeah. I mean, not that we could say this, that it becomes that. Well, anything sounds weird. The first time you hear it. Like what's a tiger belly? But now it's like, Oh, right. It's that podcast. Exactly. I don't know if you want to call a tiger belly. Who's going to remember tiger belly? What's a, what's a dice clay? But, you know, over time, it fits in. What's a, what's a hulu? But you know, hulu stands for, right? No. Hungry, Uruguay lady. Ugly. That's a, what's a horrible guess? I'd take a shot in the dark. Yeah. Hold shot. Hey. So plump dicks. It once, once if a woman has, has enjoyed the pleasure of my happy dick or diet happy dick, depending on what we're drinking. Then it's like, take a look at the sad one. Yeah. I'm fine. You're married. That's true. But good for you. It's you keeping the romance alive. Well, it's like makeup. Women wear makeup. All you know, is women, I'm going up for a jug of milk. I'm still going to wear makeup. And you're like, it's, it's milking up a jama pants on. They, they throw on a little, little foundation. That's our foundation. I've never been with a woman who said, I'll be right back. I'm going to pick up a jug of milk. Well, you're at the wrong ladies. I love a milk made. That sounds like a drink. Yeah. Well, it's got milk in it. That's cheating. Well, a happy dick as dick in it. So does, who? Dick Tracy. It's a couple of puns. I don't even think you're knowing you're doing. You said soda. Oh, I didn't get, wow, you're on today. Buddy, I'm not. I couldn't be more off. No. And, and I don't mean this is a disrespect, but I think you couldn't be moron. That's a problem. I'm a pun guy though. I like a pun. Do we, are you talking to here moron? That's true. I had one with Ari today. He was, did you see his photo of him dressed up and like as a, as an Indian garb? Yes. And I said, Ari Krishna. It's right there. It is. But sometimes the ones right there are the hardest to find. But soda was clever. Thanks. You said it. You caught it first space. So a plump dick. I remember and Adam Divine showed his, his penis in that, that action movie that the workaholic skies did. Okay. And his penis looked like better than I would have put money on. Yeah. I could see that. And I'm, I don't remember if I asked him or not, but you have to imagine before action, you talk it, right? No doubt about it. You're, you're, you're plumping. Now, I wonder, would you tug or would you spin? I would tug and I would look at porn real quick in the brain. But would you worry about getting to, like, you don't want to be hard because if the penis is going like this, you know, it's about erection. But if it goes, if it falls down bigger, right, that's what you want. You wanted that way because sometimes like when, like when your penis is connected to your balls and you're just like, you give it a little pull. Yeah. You know, you want the penis past the balls. You want it to be separate, but you don't need it to be out. Yeah. Once you get hard, it, yeah. Yes. Yeah. You know, this is like, I think he's kind of hard. We don't go high. Sometimes I do go all the way past, past the mid, mid, the equator. So you're saying if you're standing? Yes. If you're standing, got it. It'll point kind of up. I don't know if I'm standing if it goes past 180. Well, you're Jewish. You can't go high. That's just a bag against your whole heritage. Yeah. But you're six three. This isn't about size of penis. I know. I'm just saying you've got to, you probably got a decent bulge when you're plump. Well, I appreciate you saying that. I'd love to offer you a drink if you're thirsty. I got one. Okay. Well,
Let me know if you're out. Get you some happy dick. >> Hey. >> Now, that's a pun again that I don't think you realize because happy dick, happy day is fancy. Hey. >> Oh, yeah. All right. That's a little bit of a stretch, but I'll give it to you. >> Well, that's what we're talking about. >> We're stretching, baby. >> I am reading the comments live time right now. >> Don't think about the comments. Just be in it, dickless. >> There's certain people I think about the comments for sometimes I think about about me. Sometimes I think about it the person. >> Especially if it's a bad app. >> If it's a bad app, I'm swirling like, oh, this guy's blowing it. >> Oh, yeah. >> I think it was a bad app. I don't think that the comments are going bad. I just think that nobody's going to, the numbers, like not that many people will want to watch it. >> That's one great thing about YouTube. If it's funny, I notice it will get comment or it will get views. >> Yeah. >> There's a lot of, there's a cream rise as I think. >> Yes. >> There's a couple exceptions, but if it's a great app, it's going to hit. >> Is that YouTube? >> Yeah, I think it's Instagram and TikTok is a mishmash, a shit show, I don't know what's going on. Are you going to have the best video ever and it might catch or it might not? >> Aren't there some that catch on TikTok, but not the other ones that vice versa? So I don't, I just think if it catches it catches. >> Yeah, I guess you're right. >> None too, please. >> You got that right on Netflix. >> I thought I was going to watch it all, but I didn't because I was going to watch it before. I watched, I had it on and then we started a little bit early. >> Just let it roll in the back when you show. >> I'm going to finish. >> Thank you, thank you. >> But I told McCone when he came in, jokes man, I mean almost, almost like if it were not on stage and it was just like at a dinner, somebody would be like, hold on a second. >> Right. >> You know, there's so little, it's just, I mean, did you count how many jokes? >> No, no. >> It's, I mean, I only watched the first, I think 20 minutes so far and I think there's more jokes in the first 20 minutes and in a, in a, in a normal special. >> Wow. >> I have an environment special though. So I'm curious when you do all those jokes, are there, is it just like, no, no, no, no, like when you're like after the bulking phase, when you're like picking what makes it, is it, yes, yes, no, no, yes, no, yes, or is it just, I have all these jokes and I'm going to ride with it and see where the momentum takes me even on tape night. >> No, I, I did every joke in there was on its own at some point. So if it got a laugh, I kept it, I was basically, you mean, oh, you're saying in the edit? >> No, no, like when I was riding it, every joke stood on its own. >> But and you wrote them, I wrote one, you know, 15 minutes in, I wrote that eight months ago. >> Right. >> There's one that 14 minutes in, I wrote that. >> But how do you know? >> How do you know when it stays in? So for example, when you're, when you're touring it before you film it, I imagine you're doing, how long are your sets? >> One hour. >> Oh, you never go over. >> Maybe an hour one or maybe 58, but it's, it's pretty concise. It's pretty good on it. >> But it's not always the same hour you're doing, you're trying different ones. >> Yes, yes. >> So how do you know this one works, but you don't use it. I'm sure those ones that work that you didn't use. >> Not really. If it worked, I used it. >> And then once you have an hour worth of jokes, time to film. >> Yeah, when you hone, you hone, you hone, you edit, you change the order, you tweak, you polish, that tag does okay, but it doesn't hit hard, I'll get rid of it. So it's, it's, it's a lot of fine tuning. I rewatch a couple, Joe, like I'll see a clip come up and I'm like, let me watch this clip. And I go, wow, that's good, how did I, how did I come up with that? And then, and then I go, oh, I remember the old way I used to say it, and it wasn't as good. So it's just trial and error and quality I keep and the other stuff I drop. >> Like YouTube. >> Yes. >> Yeah, man, it's really impressive. And I know this of you. I've seen your specials, I've seen, I know you. It's still just like when you see it in the final product, it's like, all right, it's like when someone bulls a perfect game that's not in league play, it's still, it's just as impressive, but like, I don't know, it doesn't count almost. >> Right. >> So then when you see like when it counts, and it's just like, fucking hell, man, it's, boom, there was a joke, I don't remember which one it was, but it was something that normally doesn't, that normally, it should get a laugh, not a, yeah, like it was almost like they're cheering you on for just, I appreciate it. >> I don't remember, I want to remember when it was because I thought I wanted to bring it up to you. It was, I mean, it could have been just, yeah, it came in this fucking bitches, fucking eye or whatever, just like, and people like, he's still doing it. It was just like, so like the next joke that has nothing to do with this joke is riding this joke's momentum. And I don't know other comics that do that for an hour. >> Oh, thanks. And the endurance, do you have, and does that clock when I'm asking, can you talk about that? >> Yeah, sure. I mean, it's really just stems from a fear of silence, you know, you know, hot models look in the mirror and go, I'm fat, I need to lose weight, look at me, I'm gross, I kind of have that with my act. So I think I just keep packing it in, packing it in, and I'm scared of silence, so I want them to always be laughing. I want them to laugh, you know, nonstop, I don't want any breathing, which is obviously impossible, but that will be ideal. So any, any airtime for them, I'm freaking out. >> Interesting. So you don't, so you can't write jokes to take a second. >> No, no, I have, but I'm uncomfortable telling them. So I shorten, shorten, shorten. I have a disease where I think everyone's bored. My parents fuck me up. >> Yeah, I remember you told me that. >> Yeah, my parents, they don't respond a lot. And my wife tells me this too, she's like, your parents, I feel like I'm bombing in the living room, and I'm like, welcome to my fucking channel. So even I'm a baby and diapers going, my, my, my, my first word, and they were like, hang on. I'm like, my first word, bitch, give me something, you know. So I think that really, what you're seeing on screen is an illness. It really is. There's something wrong with me where I panic. >> That just when performing or is that in your life? >> Oh, all day long. Like if you, if you just stared at me for like four seconds, I would crumble. I'd just do that trigger nometry podcast, you know, those guys, Constantine and the other guy, Francis British podcast, okay, they're very, they're very political. I don't know why they, they have me, but they're cool guys are nice guys, but they're smart guys. They wear nice shirts. They have a table that's made of oak, you know, the two, the two big tells of a smart guy. >> Yeah, yeah. They have all these, they have like many Hassan on and, you know, Huberman and all these smart people that, that no more than me. And I was on recently and they're like, so what do you think of my ran? I'm like, how about that? I told him, he keeps dying and they're like, was the whole episode like that? >> Yes. And eventually I was like, you got to give me something. I'm dying here. I'm like sweating. My legs are shaking. I'm panicking. I'm shitting blood. And eventually they're like, we're listening. And I'm like, well, you have to let me know. You got to give me some kind of reaction. Because I'm fucking, I'm panicking out here, having a look at a tack. >> I get it. >> Do you? >> Yeah, I don't feel that way, but I get it. >> I wish I had that. That's one thing I got to work on. I'm a 42 year old man, but I will start working on that. >> How would you work on it? What does that look like? >> I think I just got to talk to a homeless guy or a corpse and just talk to him and let them not respond. And then I'll learn. I'll build up a little. Like my advice you would be to not, not try and find a way to be comfortable in silence, but allow yourself to be uncomfortable in it, you know, like- >> Well, I'm, I'm a couple all the time. I don't need to allow that- >> Even when you're happening. >> Even when you're getting laughs. >> Oh, that's not silence. >> No, I'm saying, I'm saying you try to avoid it. >> Yes. >> I'm saying instead of trying to avoid it, just don't try to avoid it and be hot. >> Be hot? >> Yeah, be hot, be uncomfortable, be- >> Oh, be scary. >> Well, I'm already there. That's happening. >> Right now? >> No, not now, but like what you're saying is you're- I'm sitting in silence all the time. >> Okay. >> And I'm uncomfortable. >> And doesn't get any easier? >> No. I'm 42 here. It's- >> Because the silence that I- and this isn't about stand-up. I mean, who am I to tell you what you should be doing on stage? As has nothing to do with stand-up. This doesn't do with- >> Okay. >> And social interactions, because this is- that's like my world, always thinking about that kind of stuff. And how can I be more comfortable? How can I offer an environment where other people feel more comfortable around me? And like, you know, you do, you fill it with comedy, and you fill it with gay, and it's great. Keep doing it. But sometimes if you don't, that's what I mean. Like, do you ever choose not to? Do you ever just be like, I'm not going to say the Ayatola joke. You know, do you ever say, do you ever hear it? It's hard for me to do that- for a different reason. It's hard for me to hear a joke and not say it. >> Yeah. >> Until I'm looking at my- I'm like, dude, you didn't need to fuck up the momentum and say some wordplay that didn't matter. >> Shit. >> Oh, boy, we're speaking of this. >> I know you feel- I can imagine you feel the way, but that's where I'm trying to connect with you. I'm like, sometimes I challenge myself for different reasons to not say the joke. >> Sure, sure. >> I feel like- but it's- >> Yeah. >> It's- >> It's not that I'm the ones- >> It's there. >> It's right there. >> It's there. I'm not even- I'm just pointing at it. >> Of course. >> Yeah, well, that's where the sunglasses come in too. It makes it- it takes it off 5% of edge off of conversations for me. >> It's interesting because I was- right before you said that, I was just thinking, it's- it's distracting me. >> So you want me to take them off maybe- >> No, you're not yours. Okay, okay. >> Okay, okay. >> Yeah, it's interesting, dude. You're- you're- you're insecurity and your lack of acceptance of yourself has gotten you on the take your shoes off podcast seven times plus all the specials and friendships with Seinfeld, you know? >> Yeah, yeah. Well, you gotta- you gotta use your flaws and I guess-
try to challenge channel them. Yeah. You know, like Ray Charles can hear well, dare devil as well. Dare devil. The guy who's not right. Ray Charles. Yeah. And Stevie Wonder, the black Ray Charles.

You've probably heard of Revolved Women if you're a woman, probably because it's a hot, it's a hot shopping, shopping network. I know, I mean, before Revolved Men even came to me, I didn't know that they did men's clothes. I knew of this app. I know people that use it. Yeah, wow. They do do men's clothes. Yeah. And I've been buying stuff on it. So when I first found out about it, I used it just to, like, to better understand how it works. But now, like, it's kind of a thing I go to. I like clothes. I got into clothes a couple years ago. There's certain brands I like revolve gets new stuff all the time. You could say it's constantly changing, like, or an adding to their, their inventory free today shipping. I've been ordering stuff from them where like, Oh, I like this. I don't like this. Where the idea is almost like trying it on. So like, I don't feel bad if I'm ordering stuff just to try on. Hey, John Michael, who is the Revolved Man? Think of it as a place.

I think this is a transcript is built in at this point. I do it on TV because I don't want to miss anything. My friends hate it. They're like, why you got the captions on? I'm like, I like the cab. I get every dialogue. I go back and forth. I like it for that same reason. I don't like it because I'm reading it. I'm always reading it, even if I could hear it. So like missing stuff. Oh, I'm missing some of the visuals. I have this kind of compulsion of summing license plates. Summing? Like adding them all out. Oh, weird. And like looking at them and like seeing them really quick and I do and I'm really good at it. Especially in California, like different states have different orders in California. It's usually a number of three letters than three numbers. So you look at the one and you look at the three and you fit them together and I could talk about this for a long time. But when I do it, I'm like, I'm driving. Right. So there'll be times where like almost like I don't want to get caught looking at a beautiful woman's big fucking tits. Sure. So I just don't look at the license plate, because then I feel a way about closed captions sometimes. And one more thing. When you watch Bill Mar on HBO, the closed captions on that show are always like 15 seconds behind. I hate when they're behind that dress we created. What's going on? I don't know. Well, there's a lady like furiously typing. It ain't live. That's not somebody working under the television whenever I decide to walk on. I thought it was a lady with a cigarette going, oh, like I'm behind the scenes. It's there's no. Oh, okay. Well, then they have no excuse. You think that you think that live, the show isn't live. I mean, it's not. It's recorded live. Okay. But sometimes it is live. Not that show. But other shows are live. And I have closed caption. And sometimes they miss full sentences because they can't keep up. And I imagine it's automated. No. I have a friend that works for John Oliver. And they shoot two hours or four hours before it airs. And one of the jobs is to go through the scripts and when he adlibs, you have to change the script closed captions. So it is it is people that do it. It is people do it. But I imagine people just it's I would imagine the official way is it's automated. And then people go over it. I think there's update the scripts that they that job is going away too sweet with AI. Yeah. But yeah, they miss where I feel bad for the the deaf. They're missing full sentences of Bill Mar. A lot of the deaf community does not watch Bill Mar. Well, also the bill does make that up enough with the clapping, the applause breaks. My God, it's out of control. He's like, and then you know, I can you want a kid you want babies. I don't have any babies. Okay. And they're like, I'm like, what is this? What do they have a gun to the audience? Like you better fucking clap your piece of shit. We're going to shoot your head off. It's a hot crowd, man. It's too hot. It's ruining the show. I like the show, but it's ruining it. Enough's enough. And then Bill Mar thinks he's the best comic in the planet because he's like, man, I'm getting a plows break. So on every riff. Yeah, it's blown his head up. You think that's what it is? You think it's him getting applause on the show? Well, I think he's got a bit of a narcissism as well. Love the show though, man. I like the show as well. Would you ever go on it? Well, it's like it's like trigonometry. That's what I was thinking. When you said it, that's what I was thinking. Oh, I'll be interesting to see you on that show. But Norm used to go on politically incorrect back in the day. And he was he would just do his act. And disguise it as kind of, you know, it's like it was like a roundtable aspect back then. And they'd like comics unleashed. Yeah. And they'd be like, so Norm, what do you think about Bill and Monica Lewinsky? And he'd be like, well, you know, gay porn is weird. And then, you know, it was funny. The old comics and leashed always I thought it was so funny because they tried to hide it as if it were casual conversation. So, so Norm, you were telling me recently that you're something your penis hooks to the left. Is that true? Right. Right. Yeah. It's a hook shot. I call it. And, you know, yeah, yeah, shows back though. I see a lot of friends are going on. I see that too. I haven't seen any of the episodes though. Well, you know how they always say when the society starts crumbling anti-semitism kicks up, perimeter skewety with women kicks up when comic comics unleashes back on society is we're in trouble. Is that I know that you're joking, but I want to understand your joke better. Well, I'm just saying it's such a shitty show. Oh, you're just knocking the show. Got it. Yeah, I mean, I've done it. Don't get me wrong. I did it in 88. But boy, that show came out. Yeah, you're remembered. Was it 88? Nice. By the way, I just did Harlem Williams. You got you got some competition there, fatty. He is kicked it up a notch with the effects and the moves and the graphics. So you better watch out. I'm happy. I'm happy that that Harlem is in our universe. Okay. I see him as as a friend and not as competition. I like that. That's healthy. I also just saw I've been seen it, but he had will will Farrell. Farrell on. Did you watch any of it? He showed me some clips against my will and Farrell and they're funny. I beat you to it. I saw you. I saw the wheels turning. This is defensive. Can I say something? Yeah, not only were the wheels either not turning or done turning. I had it before your all in will and I chose not to. I got there. I chose not to. I appreciate you. Let me have it. But I still got there. Yeah. That's a funny thing. I'm there's no stakes to it, but there truly is a defensiveness in like, oh, you didn't think it. No, no, I thought of it. Right. Right. I thought of it. Yeah. Like, I need you to know. When I heard well, I was thinking, Farrell, well, that's our sport. You know, when some guys say, no, no, he didn't knock me out. I tapped out. That's our thing. There is something that I'm noticing. I try to check in when something like, why does that bother me? Oh, yeah. And something same. Do you have an example? Oh, I just had one because I do peeves on my show and I had a peeve. And then I said, I don't know why that bothers me, but it pisses me off. And now I can't think of it. Oh, I'll think of it. You go. I know, I know this one. Look it down. I had a friend on her name is Samara Weaving. She was an episode a few weeks ago.
tomorrow. Who weaving? She is an actress and she's part of the ready or not. I don't if you see those movies. Oh, so good. I was just weaving. Sorry, continue. I saw that. I saw that before you said it. That's why I made you repeat the name. You see what I did. Oh, is that really what? Yeah, yeah, I'm a fucking heck. It's great. All right, keep going there, Dickless. She said she's pregnant. She was talking about her nips and I said you can't say that because that's a regulatory word. And I'm joking. I know. Nobody's thinking that and it's also its own word. It's fine. Well, it is a slur for Asians. Yeah, in like World War II. I didn't know they would, they would went away. I didn't either until I read the comments. So what I'm getting at is I'm not really offended. I know that's not what you meant. I'm not being offended for other people. It's fine. You're talking about your nipples. People say that I'm joking. To me, I'm not trying to trick anybody. Obviously, and the lean into it, we bleeped her when she said it and the clip went a little viral on a couple of the things and the amount of comments of like like how woke I am and how much I'm a bad host I am and how much he's having. He's being offended for other people. But like, they were sure of it. And it's not that what bothers me. Yes, I guess it bothers because they were sure of me and it was like a me feeling misunderstood. Yeah. But it wasn't even about me or that joke, it was about how sure people are about things that they can't be. Yes. And the deductive reasoning of like, if I were to see that and I didn't know who any of those two people are, there's other jokes in there that's like, oh, I'm noticing a playful manner. At most, I would be like, is he serious? There's no way. But at most, it's like, is he not, he is, and I know it. And that's bad. Yes. And I, and it's somebody who jokes is a straight man a lot as well, where people know what I'm doing and they're wrong. That, that bothers me. Well, that's fair. I mean, that's totally a warranted. But they're not wrong. They're wrong. They're wrong for the, the, the, the, the objectivity of, of my intention that they know they're wrong about my intention. But they're not wrong for not liking it. No, that's fine. But if they understood it, they might like it. Exactly. So I think you're completely, and that's validated. You're validated on this one. That was a, that was an obstacle for me for, in Santa for the first probably 10 years of like, the disconnect between me and the audience. And I also didn't recognize it. Oh, they think I mean this. Yes. And you're like, you, you're actually dummer. You're the dumb one here. But they'll never, they'll never cop to that. I don't like to say that sort of is because it's just a different frequency. They don't know. I'm saying something that's not true. They're believing it. You fucking idiot. You believed me when I was lying to you. Like, that's the other end was like, that's not stupid. It's just, but like at a certain, if you, if you're watching something for 10 minutes, two minutes, and it's all this thing, I don't know, I'm, I'm kind of spiraling. I get, I get, I totally get it. And you're not wrong at all. They're wrong. And I get why bothers you. Do you connect to that? Completely, completely. I've had that, people always say shit about me. That's not even right. Like you can call me ugly or not funny, or some kind of subjective thing. And I'll go, ah, what are you going to do? I get it. But if you, if you go like one, one guy was like, Mark always defensive Jews because he's a Jew. And I'm like, but I'm not Jewish. And I go, ah, I'm like, no, this is where you go. Oh, shit. You're not. I didn't know that. My bad. But they'll never do that. So once you learn that, you just let it go. Do you let it go? No. I dwell and I get angry and I get annoyed. But like, I had a, I had a lady yell at me and she was like, I feel bad for your daughter. I don't have a daughter. But I was still like, wow, I could have a daughter one day, but also this is how little you, you don't even know this. So how could you, you're probably wrong about a lot more too. It's why because of joke that they heard that she now decides that you're going to be a bad parent. No, it was like a joke, making fun of a fat lady. So they're like, oh, your daughter is going to have a horrible life. But your daughter, I feel bad for your daughter. And I'm like, I don't even have a daughter. So you're way off already. How are you knowing these things? They're telling you them after the show. Oh, comments. Yeah. I was thinking at a show. Oh, no comments. Yeah. I read less than I ever did. And it's going down and down. But I still read. What do you mean down and down? I'm reading comments less and less and less. Good. It's not helpful. The comments on my podcast are almost always nice. And sometimes it's fun. It's fun to see and to find where could you be good clips. And I've actually gotten things from, you know, they go, hey, in minutes, 78, you say the N word, I go, I better take that out. So there are helpful or like, hey, we had a blip where we didn't hear something. I do remember. Uh-oh, what happened? There was an episode of our podcast. Paul Rudd with you and me. Oh. That Macone found because it got it got 18 plus or whatever it was, it was flagged. And before you dispute it, you think, is there anything I could take out? And Macone found that you said something. Uh-oh. He said the people. I noticed what they're saying is they're saying basically if a raisin, I remember raisin had hydration in it. I got it. And then we just took that little word out. And then we, it got through. Yeah, I remember that was the only time I've ever done that. It's just funny. And it was an episode of the, that was with what's his face? John, John written it. Yeah, that was hot up. But I fucked it up with my dumb slur or whatever. How was it a hot up? What do you mean? It was just a great episode. I thought I liked it. He's one of my, I think he's one of the funniest people I know. Yeah. I think he's so funny. And we could bleep this if you want me to. But the numbers weren't as good as what they normally are with just us. But I fucked it up. Well, you messaged me like, man, let's get really fucking take the numbers on that one. He would say it too. He was nervous. He was weirdly. I was like, dude, you put on this and hell. You're on your movies. You bang. What do you freak it out about? But I thought it was a great up. Just and that fucking restaurant thing went. That goes viral. You know, we talk about stuff doesn't hit on different algorithms or different platforms. That restaurant thing hit on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. I made a comment about how I go. I hate these restaurants where you show up at, you know, 10 minutes before they close or 20 minutes before they close. And you were like, no, no, that's fucked up. But I'm like, no, no, that says 10 PM. I mean, until 10 PM. And then I eventually mentioned it was Chipotle. And then you went, whoa, I'm with you. And you know, it blew up. Did you post that or did I post that? My friend goes, that's a, there's a clip there. And I go, that's nothing. It's some restaurant bullshit. And he clipped it and posted it for me. And it blew up. I got a tag. The podcast, dude. Oh, shit. I will. Sorry. I don't care. I mean, I do. But I posted it. I'll tag it today. I mean, it's, it's, it's done at this point. It looks good on your wall. So the reason why I agree with you with Chipotle is because the food's out already. Right. Don't start, you don't start cleaning up until it's time. But then when you're when you're making food and now by the time I'm getting it, it's past the time. Yeah. I read all, I read all that in the comments. That's funny. Yeah. Those type of, those types of clips do well because you have people that, you agree with the AI. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then, but the, the beauty that clip was, I look like a complete lunatic asshole until I say Chipotle and the whole room flips. So it's almost like a punchline where I'm setting up, setting up, setting up, then I say Chipotle at the end. It's like the whole joke as a twist. Well, send it to me. I'll post it on my stuff. All right. It'll blow up. I swear. Yeah. Man, I like written it ski a lot. Yeah. He's a good guy. He's a sweet guy. He wasn't, he wasn't nervous in there. Oh, yeah. He was a wreck. But hey, we pulled it out. We made fun of them. Did we? Oh, I did. Yeah. You may find a both of us. Wow. It's kind of your thing. We're comedians. Yeah. Some comedians are make fun. You're a make funner. Call them a porn star, no bulge, you know, what's what we do? I'm not going to call them a white supremacist or something, but I'm just saying, you know, keep it light. You kind of just did, though, you know, like you were telling you didn't say something. Well, what do you got? Couple of Emmys here. No, they're HCA awards. Hollywood Critics Association. Oh, not quite Emmys. Yikes, but I did get a couple of signal awards. Whoa, virtue signal. Take your shoes off podcast. All right. Best, uh, most innovative video podcast, best editing. That's look at the ladies. Nice. And it's crazy. Since I've gotten these, I have, which is December, I think of last year, I've had sex with, I think just a almost 20 women. What? It's December. Yeah. Well, what do you, um, uh, Ayatollah? I assume they get laid a lot. I don't know. And I was just joking about that. Okay. Okay. But isn't that, remember, that was a thing that like when you're in high school, I think in college, too, when you tell people that you've had sex or like with people think that you've had sex with lots of girls, they think like, whoa, yeah, you're the man. Yeah. I don't think that's it anymore. I think having sex with less people is cool now because women like that, they want you to have enough sex to where you're good at having sex with them, but not too much where it feels like you don't have form connection and bonds. Sure. Sure. Fuck boy. They call it. So then when women, excuse me, I can't be real. You couldn't have gotten it out by making it out. I got it out. If you sneezed the way you would, if you were completely alone, would it have been a better, would it more relieving? Wow. I mean, I'm on, I'm on a mic here. If nothing else, the saying was what I'm allowed that see that's crazy you
would rather have less of a sneeze. Sometimes you stopped it. I got it out unit. I'll tell you how I know it wasn't that big because you didn't cover your mouth and I didn't care. Oh, nothing good. You know, and I'll went back down. All right. Well, I'll deal with it later. It's on a blanket at statement. Hey, but what I'd like to know is what do you sneeze like when you're alone? Just just standard. If you have a sneeze again, would you just do, but cover your, were you doing your shirt? We can bleep it. So people don't have to hear your real sneeze. All right. You got it. All right. All right. All right. So yeah. Yeah. You're right. I think the, the fuck boy thing is out. But now are you, are you, what about women? Because if, if you go, hey, a bunch of girls are fucking a bunch of guys and I don't like it. You sound like a showvendous. But I'm not saying I don't like it. Okay. But you're saying women don't like what a guy does. I'm saying this is a blanket at statement. What I'm saying is I don't think it's cool to fuck tons of people. Whoever you are. Okay. I think it's cool to be able to. Well, that's kind of part of it. They go hand in hand. But I think that's the bigger part. Okay. Like, wow. You know, Mark Norman, he probably fucks tons of chicks. Yeah, chicks are always wanted to fuck him. So, you know, he doesn't, actually, he's Mary's, he's, he's faithful. He doesn't, well, that's even cooler. All right. Faithful is in. Well, it's kind of the thing of if you can and don't, that's almost better. Yeah. It's like saying no to a, to a, to a, to a role, a role. Yeah. Like, oh, like a biscuit. Yeah. I'm saying like, if you're a dinner and send the like, do you want bread or if you're at Mexican and they go, do you want the bread? I don't want to do a voice chips is what I was getting. I see. And you go, no, I don't want that. That's cool because you have self-restraint. But what I was actually getting at is like, if they're like, hey, man, you could, there's a, you know, there's three days on the, on Lauren order SVU. If you want to do it, they offered it to you. And it's like, I don't want to do that enough. Whoa, cool. They wanted you to do it. Oh, yeah. That is cool. Yeah. I'm not a procedural guy. I'm not going to pretend to be. Well, yeah, I respect the hell out because I say yes to everything. That's why I'm here. But, yeah, that's the kind of burn I like. There we go. We're back because I believe it a little and also, I believe it a lot. I mean, you, you did three podcasts. You had two podcasts and a rich ison. Yep. And then you, Harlan. Yeah, you did Harlan. Bad friend. No, Tiger Belly, Harlan, and rich ison. Yes. Back to back to belly. And then you came here and then you go right to the airport. Yep. That's, that's, that's, that's so much. It's a lot. But hey, I'm here. I'm clear. What else am I doing? Yeah, I mean, relaxing, sitting in silence, sneezing and letting a release happen. I'm not good with that. I like to work. I like to get out. I want to see you. He's here. That's nice. Our pets heads are falling off. She touched my leg. Yeah. You know what I'm just remembering. I didn't watch all the sidefeld one. When it came out, I thought it was so cool. I watched it get first half hour. And then I stopped and then I didn't go back. I got to go back to it. And we don't spend too much time. I'm sure you talked about a bunch, but I just want to say fucking awesome, dude. Pretty cool, right? I mean, really cool that you're friends with them. That's the, that's the real thing. And then a little side thing that he was willing and wanting to do it. Yeah, yeah. And it was great. Half hour I watch was really his great podcast. Well, I made a vow. When if he comes on, I'm going to get him to be him and not do the interview bullshit. You know, that's what I'm trying to get you to sneeze normal. All right. All right. But I don't know if the public wants that. That's not up to you. Ah, true debt. And you got him to be him. Yeah, I think I got it. And I pushed back on a few things and I zinged him a little bit. So at one point, he goes, uh, I made an Epstein joke. He made some joke about an island, like Manhattan's an island. And he said, I'm dying on this island. I said, Epstein said that he goes, save for Kilt Tony. So what's that? But he knows about he's aware of Kilt Tony. I saw that. I saw that part. Maybe I want you and you said, oh, no, maybe I saw a different who gives a shit. But I saw you talking about how you thought it was cool that he was aware of the Kilt Kilt Tony, like in like podcasts or in the world that touch them. Now here's why you don't read the comments because I was all excited. I had sign fell on one of my heroes, all the shit legend and the cut the Zionist piece of shit. Israel, fuck you, blah, blah. I'm like, ah, that sucks. Yeah. I had this fucking comedic juggernaut on. And everybody's like, ah, Zion, whatever. Yeah. I'm like, ah, that's why you don't read this shit. Yeah, they're loud. People that don't like things are loud about it. And people that like things aren't as loud about it. And it's why I like to talk to the managers at hotels and restaurants when I think I've gotten really good service. Oh, good on you. I learned that from my mom. You're making people's day. Whenever I get on it, I go five stars, bitch. Yeah. I think they, I don't tip them. They do you not? No. Yes. There's something about, there's something about tipping on an Uber. I'm a good tipper. I got a massage today. I accidentally tip 40%. Wow. I meant to tip 20. You got a massage. You don't work. What do you mean? You don't do anything. I work all the time. Well, you, you count this. Did you do? Do you know what? The post production and this thing is shot to John Michael who does the heavy lifting, but I mean, I figured you just tell people what to do like Steve Jobs. The, I went with two people. Me and I went with someone else and I paid for both of us. And I did 20% on both. And then I put it to both. So I guess I want to say I'm a good tipper. I tip 40%, but I didn't mean to. That's not a make it a good point. Yeah. Yeah. Ubers, Ubers is something about it where you know, you give it, I give it a little bit. I just, I don't know. I think it's because you didn't use to, I think when we first started, it wasn't a thing. Exactly. And then they added it. And he did a service, you pay for the service. To me, that's how it goes. Cause how come you tip a waiter or a bartender or a barista now, which I don't care for, but you don't tip the CVS bitch. Well, because you give, you round up to feed some poor people. I don't do that either. I don't know where that's going. I heard from an ex of mine. So I don't know if this is true. I don't know where she heard it, but it made sense. And I think about, I think about this all the time. She told me that these places are already giving that money to whatever it is for their write offs. And they're just asking if you want to donate it to it. So it allocates to pay them back. Ooh, I'm not here promoting saying don't give the charity anymore, but you don't have to maybe not at the CVS and instead pick the charities you want to give it to. Yeah. Yeah. Well, what about the pharmaceutical coos? There's a lady back there counting pills with a lab coat on. She's I always give her 20. Come on. Always. Hey, I go like that. That's a photo. What are you feeding a hamster? But yeah, why don't you tip her? I'm just saying, where's it in? I always just tip service for some reason. Why? And then they go, well, they don't pay us anything. I'm like, well, so that's I do an open mic. Where's my money? Dude, I was at a restaurant and there was a there was a 2% service charge and I asked, I asked what it goes to and they said, it's helped pay for the insurance of the kitchen staff. And I'm going to pay this. I'm not going to ask you to take it off right now. Yeah. I think this isn't I think that's nuts and you should be paying them that. I went I got I went to a beauty salon. I get my hair cut at a beauty salon. Okay. They have assistance. I said, looks looks professionally done. Thanks. They never asked us before with this and I said, would you how much not would you like to tip the assistant? How much would you like to tip the assistant? Smart language. Smart. And I said, I'm gonna. I don't want to, but I'm like, are they not paying the assistance? Are you not tipping them out? Probably not. And you know, there's another flaw of this service industry world. I hate the chit chat like in an Uber. I hate the chit chat with the you could say silent. I know, but you can't do that with everything. The salon lady, like I've been on the road where I desperately need a haircut. So I go into Wanda's snippy snaps or whatever. And I go, I go get a haircut at the salon. And the lady's like, oh, where you from? What do you know? The New Orleans get out of here. I went there twice last year. I blew a guy on bourbon. I'm like, I don't want to do all this. I could, I could save your, I could save the life of your battery a little. If you, if you, please, you sit down and you do this at the beginning. And I've done this when getting my haircut, mostly when getting a haircut. I'm nervous. Hey, I just want to let you know, I'm really tired and I'm not in a chatty mood. Oh, thank you for what it's worth. I can't do that. Why? That's too mean or not mean, but it's just, it's too, uh, you're conflicting. It's not even conflict, but it's, it's enough. Is there a language that you could think of now that you would be able to say that gets out across? I'd probably lie and go, I'd death or something like that just to then no one gets hurt. Get up the def lady. Maybe try that. All right. I'll try that. Never thought about that. So just now, but yeah. All right. I just, I do it. But I think they think chit chatting will help their tip. And in my head, I'm going, actually, this is worse. Buddy, you're backwards. You're thinking the negative things. You're not enjoying the experience when all you have to do is say something to enjoy it more. Oh, interesting. You're right. I'm not good at that little little hump. You got to get over to have better later. Remember when you said you wanted Seinfeld to be himself and I said, that's what I want from you. And you're like, yeah, but nobody
wants to see that. And I said, that's not really up to you to decide. Yeah. Same thing. You're deciding for somebody else and you're carrying this burden that they don't even know exists, that they don't care if so. And if they do care, that's theirs to carry. Not yours. I just don't want to hurt anybody. Okay. But also maybe she doesn't want to chat either. So maybe by me saying that she's like, oh, thank God, I don't think this is about as fucking upbringing. Now, when you say you don't want to hurt anybody, does it even do you even consider people who have children with mental disabilities every time you say, uh, or you don't care if that hurts them. I just think it's, uh, the word exists. It's already out there. What does it hurt? What does it matter if I say it? Well, that's not up to you. That's up to them. Sure. But you're doing it anyway because you're doing what you want. All the words that this woman, the blowing people on Bourbon Street exist, she isn't have to say him. Yeah. Well, that's not, I'm not offended. I'm just more annoyed. It's a different argument. But you're worried that she's going to be offended, but you're not worried about people who have children with, you know, with Down syndrome. Well, I'm not saying they're bad. You're not saying she's bad. You're saying you're tired and you don't want to, you don't want to drain your batter. All right. All right, Matthew McConaughey. lazy too. Yeah, I'm just, I'm big on that. I'm big on that. And also sometimes you do get people who go like, Oh, okay. And to me, it's just, it's just worth it. You know, like speak what's on your mind without telling other people what they need to do. Like it's a boundary. Sure. Sure. It's a boundary. I'm all for it. And, and, and I think I've gotten better at it. And I used to my, my version of neuroses was sometimes I wouldn't go get the haircut. I mean, it's not that literally, but some things were so difficult to do. I don't leave the house. I get that. I totally get that. If all, if, but if people would take their shoes off, I can invite them in. But I don't want to make people take their shoes off. You know, all right. Just tell them to take the shoes off. Yeah. And if somebody doesn't want to take their shoes off, well, you know, it's funny. I've been thinking about this a lot because I have a baby now and babies just do whatever they want. They don't know anything about boundaries or whatever they're screaming in a restaurant. They're shitting themselves and throwing it at you. Jesus. But I still like the baby. Yes. I mean, I taught him to do that. But I still like him. And I get excited to see him. And when he wakes up in the morning, he's crying. And I go, I can't wait to go in there. That's one great thing about having a kid. But I keep thinking about what you're saying. I still like him. Even though he does these horrible things that if a, if your friend did it, you go, I can't hang out with this guy. Yeah. I mean, if he's throwing shit and stuff, but I'm sure your friend's good cry. What? Oh, yeah. That's true. I've seen you really weep. Have I cried with you? Oh, man. Yeah. I don't cry. I believe you. I don't remember doing it though. It was bad. Why? I filmed it. It was after that set in Cleveland. Did I do a show with you in Cleveland? Oh, I haven't seen a bomb like that since Tehran. I'm trying to find what's even real here. Did I do something with you in Cleveland? We did a show together. You did a guest set and no, you came to my dad's rug store. Yeah. You got that right. And then I never, I didn't do the set. Oh, yeah. No. You don't remember the set? You cursed out the lady. She came. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I'm really, I'm thinking there's something there. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm missing like, Oh, no, you're just, you're just like, I'm a big introvert. So sometimes I'll, they'll be a party or like a dinner or something I'm supposed to go to. And I go, yes. God, I don't want to go. It's God. What am I going to say? I got nothing to say. These, do these people even like me? I suck. I'm gay. I'm fat. I'm a bitch. And I go every time and I'm glad I went. Yeah. Just about. But still it's draining. So draining. But it's also good for you. Yeah. I think young people, not to turn in a boomer, cleave douche face, but I think young people are worse at getting over the hump and doing stuff. Cause they got the phone. They got them. Uber eats comes right to them. They got Netflix. Like, we used to get up and go to a theater. Everything was a hassle, but it was all we had. So we kind of got good at getting through a hassle. I think young people now have way less hassle. And now when a hassle shows up, a hassle off. David saw a lot of 20 seconds ago. Go ahead. They go. Oh, shit. I was just trying to be watch what you guys were going to say. Hey, there you go. So when they, when they get a little hassle, they, they go, fuck that. I'm not doing that because they're not used to hassle us. Yes. I agree. But what does that have to do with us, you know? I'm just saying we're maybe we're, our generation is better at pushing through a hassle. I bet McCone goes out more than you do or you even you did before you had a kid. I go out every night. Not counting work. Not counting. Okay. Well, he seems like a well-adjusted guy. Now I go at Mark's hand. I think I think he's, I think he's right that I think that people, I think young people are more bothered by the feeling of discomfort. Yes. That's that's the better way to put it. Yeah. Thank you, cone zone. Yeah. I think that, I think that, you know, they're not experiencing it as much. And this is a, this is a, I don't really big in the, in the dating world. Yes. Yes. Yeah. I think we're touching on something big here. And I think, you know, remote work. Everything has just gotten a little kushier. Yeah. It's less, it's less connection. It's less human. Yes. I mean, that's, we're not going, and it's not, it's constantly going that way. Right. Right. Which is great, but comforts a killer, I think eventually. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, it's on topic of things, the way things used to be in a way, it changes the mind, but it's not about the discomfort. But something that I thought about the other day, I'm in a hotel, and it says an IFC on Saturday Beverly Hills cop one followed by Beverly Hills cop two hell. Yeah. And I was thinking to myself, fuck yeah, I want to watch Beverly Hills cop tomorrow. Now I don't have to. I never had to. But I'm saying like, if I wanted to be on those cop, it's so easy to watch her right now. Exactly. But the idea of like this is when you could watch it. Not only does it eliminate, you know, choice fatigue. Yeah. It also is like, I now have a plan. I know what I'm doing Saturday. Yeah. Yeah. And I want to get home to do it. Yeah. And it's more rewarding to watch it. And I miss it. And I'm like, I think there's a little dopamine hits you get from like planning things like that. That was a percent. Same when a thing comes on the radio. Oh, yes. If you saw a Spotify go out of care. But then it hits on the radio. You go, oh, shit. You start snapping. Now you're singing with the windows up. The amount of times I've watched drum line because it was on TNT. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Watch this. It's fucking. It's fed to me. So I've been like going out of my way to plot plan things that like you plan dinners. I love it. And that's that's a good way to live because you got to push back a little because and then with AI coming, it's all over. I would love to use a dream guest of mine. Oh, Iverson. But that's why you know, good dinners with other people to practice. Inners, movies, Disneyland. These are things I have bit. I love Disney. Well, they got good news for you. There's about a million Disney adults who are ready to take that voyage. Hey, how many of those people in your comments that are being real shitty? Do you think are Disney adults? That's a good question. I don't know if Disney adults are digging what I'm putting down. I don't think they're going to be mean to you about it. Small world, dude. It's a room for all of us. It ain't demolition, man. Put it the poster. Small world after all. Go to Disneyland with me. You'll have a different feeling of Disneyland. All right. We're probably going to get napped for pedophilia. Are you going to do stuff to kids at Disneyland? No, I'm just going to do two guys with lumps in our pants and kids in Disneyland. It's not a good look. Chipotle. Clip it. Don't. So the I went with with Terran Killaman and a group of his friends recently. Do you know Terran? No. You would probably know if you saw him. He's been in tons of stuff. He's a silent live alum. Oh, right. All right. And he has a he I can't imagine this is a secret. But so I have to take this out of bleep. But do you know what club 33 is? No. Of course you don't. Wait, is that the dead people? No, you think you have the six cents. Oh, 27 club. What's that? Not to be confused with the 700 club. That's the Bible one. Yeah. 27 club is Janice Joplin. Jimmy Hendrix. Oh, go Bane. Yeah, go Bane. Somebody else. Balushi. I think Balushi was 27. Hmm. Not Jim. No, he's still around. He's alive. According to him. Good. I remember the years ago at the improv. I mean, this Adam Ray was a guest star on according to Jim. Probably at this point, probably five, six, seven years before this moment that was, you know, 15 years ago. Yeah, right. But I remember at the improv, they always bring him up as according to Jim. Oh, and I don't remember what his take on that was. I don't want to call him. I remember. Call him. I just talked to him. Call Adam. There's something funny about credits. There's something fun. It is. Like sometimes people bring me up from undatable, which is a show they got canceled in 2016. Yes. You know. And it's like, I mean, it's fine. But I do think like, so a lot of times people will say, like, from take off your shoes or it's called take your shoes off. It's just a little wrong. I love the sound. I hate that it was on my mic, but I get it. Well, it's got the phone on. I get it. Like if this were a studio, I'd be like, let's keep it going.
That's got to be one woman in America that's attracted to that, huh? Probably not. A lot of women think farting is funny. I've never been in a relationship. I talk about this in my act now. I don't think so. I've never been in a relationship with a woman who doesn't find farting funny. Wow. You got good taste. It's hard to find a beautiful woman who is kind that will let us raise the kids Jewish plus whatever you want. We'll do all the holidays, but she's so Jewish. Sure. The things farting is funny. All right. Well, that lives in LA. You got to go ex-fetchic, who's now thin. That's the key. But oh, is it ringing? Shit. Also with the fart, it has to go through my underwear, my pants, and the foam. So you got some protection. But other people have put in their mouth. Listen, I could argue either end. All right. I'm not anti. It's the back end. Didn't see that one. Okay. Your call has been pointed to my fan. Oh, shut down. I called him and he answered, that's the ultimate slap of the dick. Every time I call somebody and they don't answer the guest goes, I bet they'll answer if I call. And you know, I think I loosen the jar. Oh, that's optimistic right there. That's a half full glass. Sometimes when I get off stage and I feel like I just did really well. And you walk by the person who's about to go up next, I go, I loosen the jar for you. That's true to that. Sometimes you can crack them open and the other guy is a great set. I never understood why people don't like going up after somebody did great. Well, I could argue this. Go ahead. I think sometimes if they do really, really great, like the roof comes off and the walls are shaken, people go, I'm going to pee now and they walk out and go pee. Oh, that's a very specific reason, but okay. Well, I see that a lot. How many people are going pee? I think a lot of people have to pee and comedy quite a bit and they hold it. And then when a guy kills, they're like, all right, that was so good. I can pee. Okay. It's like I can die now. I understand now. I never understood. Do you think that's what people are thinking that people are going to get up to go to the bathroom? I think a lot of people are holding in with our comedy shows because you're drinking. You got to remember. I think comedians feel that, oh no, that person did really well. I don't know if I can. Well, sometimes it's hard to reset because they love that guy so much and then you're so different. But what's the opposite? It's bombing. Yeah. And now the energy is uncomfortable. But now you can be the hero. I like both. I like both too. I like when it's, when it's a bomb, it's then you could be, I guess, yeah, that makes sense. You can be here. I think of it as like, it's like, it's, it's free play. Right. You know, it's like anything goes. Sure. But when someone does really well, I just think like, another room's fucking hot. Yeah. The jars loose. The jars loose. Hey. I wanted to say, well, first of all, can you plug this in? I'm going to the airport. Blind. Yes. That's right there. Don't get up. No, that's not a charger. Oh, that's too well. Oh, sorry. I thought it was a charger. I don't want. Don't get up. No, no, it's all right. Geez. This is good practice. Ask people for what you want. All right. Well, I thought that was a charger. I don't want to bother you. Oh, boy. Oh, God. Let's see. This is, this is painful for me. You are charging this for me. As you feel any better, oh, no, it's a different plug. Ah, the wrong plug. I got it. I hate to be a burden. Yeah. I'm going to do the hard driveers. All right. Is it cooking? Yay. I appreciate it. I won't bother you again. You're at 51%. Oh, Mama Cita. That's not good at all. What time? To do that, many podcasts and to still have 50% like, you're calling all of you words. Yeah. It's kind of a new phone that helps. Let me just say. Can I say one thing about the credits? You mentioned with you with undatable. So I'm not going to say who and the audience hates this shit because then they've read it bubbles up and they all start trying to figure out who the fuck we're talking about. That's such a you thing. You know, all that shit. I know. You know that underground world. Well, I just had a comic come on my podcast. And then ask for the episode not to be released. And we talked about it. We didn't say who and boy, the internet went ape shit. Guessing. Yeah. And they all think it's this guy. I know it's this guy. 100% I bit my life on it. And they're always wrong. Why didn't they want it? They were a clean comic, which we've had Bargazze, Gaffigan, Regan, all these clean comics. And they were they're clean. They said the episode would hurt their brand because of the jokes that you guys were making. Not the jokes that he was making or he was making us and but he laughed at everything. He was cool. This is a great example of instead of going through it and being uncomfortable. And then at the end, at two minutes and say, Hey, guys, listen, I'm not going to be able to post this. If we don't do it, let's just say what you want. And then you could say, well, then fuck it. Let's not do it at all. Exactly. Exactly. More realistically, that's fine. I'll cut your hair. And I won't talk to you. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. It's a week without a pod, you know, so we have to go redo a whole week of work. But the guy who does a comic, who if you bring up one of his credits, he will flip out on you and you know him well, tell me we'll bleep it. If you say that, bringing him up, he'll walk out. He won't even go on because he thinks it's insulting. I guess so. What, you know, you did the show, oh shit, the movie, you did the movie. I can't wait. You think if you said show people know it's somebody that did a show. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Well, we're going to bleep the name and the show, but we don't really need a bleep show. You're just joking, right? Well, you know, everything. It's a show. Everything's a show. That's good point. I think movies more telling. All right. Good point. Out of all the people of all the comics have done stuff and their credits, the majority of them have done shows. Not movies. True. All right. Fair point. Keep the show. Hey. All right. Welcome to the burp town. Thanks, man. Is that a podcast? Yes, burp town. Come town is right. Come town. Yeah. That was a podcast, right? Yeah. Do they come on that? Because we're burping on ours. I don't know. I just know the name. I think that I don't, that's with Stavros. Nick Mullin. Yeah. Yeah. I never knew that podcast though. Very funny. Very funny. Nick Mullins and fucking genius. Yeah. A lot of people say a lot of people have, I don't know of him. I mean, I know of him. I don't know him. I, that's one of the more requested, I don't know him. He's an odd duck. I guess he's a little particular, but man, he's got a great comedy brain, much like yourself. Good punch in. He's good. He gets it. How many specials do you have now? That's my sixth hour. That's a lot of jokes. Six specials, man. Oh, yeah. Well, six hour. One was an album. And then you don't call that a special? No, because it was not televised or filmed. Show as an old I am. I did a fucking record that didn't have to have video. Then I did a half hour. Then I did an hour on Comedy Central. What was a half hour for? It was intense. Remember those? Yes. Then I'd, so now we're up to one hour, an hour, an hour and a half, and then two hours and a half. Then I did a YouTube special. Was that a half hour? That was an hour. So now we're three and a half hours. Then I did a Netflix half hour. Half hour. So now we're four hours. Then I did a Netflix special, five hours, and then this one is six. So seven specials, kind of, eight if you include the album. No, no, no. Yeah. You're cutting a half hours a special? Correct. Oh, weird. I guess I'm an old man. Not an hour special. It's a piece, you know? It's a piece. Yeah, like if somebody does, if somebody does a half hour show versus an hour show, it's still you did a show, you know it's a piece of, I assume there's an art to it. There's like, there's an opening, there's an ending. Right. Like, sopranos is a hour show. Is it an hour? Probably. It's close to. It's close to game of thrones. Yeah. Okay. Then sign fell to half hour show. 22. All right. How about a girls probably streaming shows, no commercials, no commercials. That's what I'm saying. So it might be a half hour. That's what I was saying. Is that is that still an hour? I believe because no commercials, right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Stickler. I like that. Yeah, I like watching shows sometimes on streaming networks where like sometimes the episodes are 28 minutes, sometimes are 35 minutes, it's like to whatever you want. Yeah. You know, you're just cutting stuff. It's like just, I think we're getting a better thing when they could decide how long it is. I agree. Like a curve will be 32 and 28. Curb. They stick. They, they, they keep them to close to 30 because they, they were in time slots. Curb doesn't do that. Oh, it's like, like later seasons do really? This guy's on it. I'm pretty sure. How could they pull it up? It doesn't, because it doesn't matter anymore, but it's, but they still have airtimes. Yeah. No, but they can do whatever they want with it. It's curb. I guess. Yeah. I guess I believe you. I didn't know that. But streaming things that are like exclusively streaming. Yeah. Yeah. Like house of cards. Yeah. I just finished. Fall out. Oh, fun. Who's a, a Johnny Pepperton, who was a guest on here.
Oh yeah, he's good guy. Yeah, I just saw him at the store last night. Yeah, do you watch fallout? I saw the first death, but it was a little above my pay. Yeah, not your, not your, it's fun. That my company is. Okay. It's good. It's too, too creative. I bailed. It's such a funny way to say that you don't like something. Yeah. So it's such a political way of, I'm too dumb to watch that show is another way of saying it's too complicated. Well, like Lord of the Ray, I can't do fantasy. I pull back. It doesn't connect me because it's nothing grounded. Okay. I watched Lord of the Rings the extended at once a year. It's very good. It's quality Peter Jackson's a goddamn Maestro out there, but. So you've heard. Well, I watched it. Oh, you did. I just hated every second of it. What do you watch? I like a Western. I like a war movie. I like, have you seen train dreams? Oh, it's up for best picture. It's on Netflix. Oh, I almost watched it. Yes, I want to see it. That's my kind of movie. Yeah. Just moody, slow, beautiful landscapes. It's funny. I like the opposite of your act. Yes. Yes. Fast. You're right. But then I love, I love Beverly Hills Cop. I love 48 hours. I love cool hand Luke. I love stripes. You like any Murphy? Sure. Is there anything that you Murphy does that you don't like? I didn't care for his later stuff. I didn't care for stripes. But I also remember when I saw it, my. That's Bill Murray. Yeah. I wasn't connecting that. But when I dad told me about, I remember seeing that movie when I was younger and my dad said it's one of the funniest movies ever. So I went into it thinking that and it's dated, which is fine. Sure. But like I, I didn't watch too many older movies when I'd seen stripes. No, it's not the funniest movie. Everybody goes, well, the first half hour is great. And Murray did that. I'm like, now you're just back trying. Yeah. It's almost two movies because he's a deadbeat guy who goes in the military and that's the comedy that he's like, he's all Lucy Goosey and he's now he's in this rigid system. Then that's the movie. And then all of a sudden he's in war. And it's like real war shit with guns and prisoners and all this shit. And it's two different movies. I don't remember it well. Okay. Sounds like the deer hunter. Yes. Yes. Except deer hunter wasn't comedy. This was half comedy, half war like blade, but different. Well, if you say but different, you can say anything. It's like Titanic, but different. Well, how is it like Titanic? It's a movie with people. Blade is he's he's part of him as a vampire, but part of him is a human. He's a day walker. Is that what that means? Is that what day walker means? I never knew what that meant. I hear that all the time. Yeah. It's my understanding day walker, the term at least originated to me in that movie. So I think people might say day walker, now like it's to other things. Like, oh, he's parked this part this like a day walker. Oh, I thought it meant you crossed the street of the wrong part. No, like it's a vampire who could also walk in the day. I didn't know that. That's what you got to get you got me anymore for the only black actor, my friend. Well, I like find it. Robert Danny Jr. and Trevor thunder. That's just that's not real. He's white. Okay. Well, I like soul man. Okay. Is that any Griffin? No, it's a sea time with hell in blackface. That was the joke. It was another white guy. Yeah. I don't know. What is it for a famously controversial movie? So James old Jones is in it. Yeah. It's a crazy. Oh, I don't know this, but I've seen, I've seen clips of like when it's a mean service and day walker service by blade. I just looked it up. There you go. Boy, he's quick. Eddie Griffin movies. What movie am I thinking of? You're thinking of undercover brother, maybe. I don't know why a fun movie. Soul man undercover brother. Maybe Eddie Griffin. I always thought was like the like the cart not cart not in a bad way cartoon. Like the the PG version of Eddie Murphy. No, of of of car Williams. Oh, because they did characters. They were just these characters. Right. And cat Williams. I don't remember the name of the special, but there's this. What's the special? I talked about this recently. Chronicles in green all green. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, you know, he doesn't know the first like eight minutes of the special is him just doing space work pretending to be like shopping and dancing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He is so fucking funny. Uh-huh. He's crazy. He did club Shay Shay. And it was the biggest podcast of all time. That blew up club Shay Shay. That's what want to make me want to do club Shay Shay, which I did. Oh, is it out? It's out. Wait a minute. How do I know that were you? Did you post because I didn't see it, but maybe I saw a clip of you talking about being on it. Yes. Yes. What was an issue? Is you being late? I was late. I was late. I was late. What happened? My flight was delayed. And I flew to Vegas to do it. And then my flight was delayed. And then I had to get a rental car, which takes forever, you know, with the line and you flew there just to do his podcast. Just to do his podcast. Wow. And I was late. And he's just sitting there in his lulu lemon jumpsuit waiting. And then we got right to it. But I could tell he was like, who the fuck are you? You know, I'm a nobody. He didn't know you at all before having. No, no. I mean, he did his research. He's a great interviewer. And I'm glad to do the podcast. But, uh, woo. Yeah. I feel horrible. How was the episode killer? Although he asked you these questions that you're like, what are you doing, man? I'm going to get creamed over this. Like what? Creamed out a little Jabar, uh, you know, he's like, what kind of women do you like the fuck? And what do you like about black chicks? And then what do you think of Taylor Swift's? Whatever. I'm like, he's just looking for clips. He's looking for clips. And he's good at it. And the clips were good. But not if you're on the other end of it. That's funny. Looking for clips is like, of course, I want clips and stuff. I never thought I'd never really think about like, what could I do to get a clip? I just want to have a conversation. Sure. But maybe what do you like, uh, what black girls do you like to sex with? Wheelchair. That's it. Oh, that was brutal. I was just thinking about how much you don't like sitting inside. I was staring at the thermostat. All right. You get sunglasses. I wasn't sure where you're looking. Oh, yeah. Good look at you. I'll tell you that. Just do you get paid to go do that? No. So you on your own dime, you buy a flight. Yeah. But get this. So because I spent a thousand dollars buying a flight to Vegas from New York or were you on the West Coast? New York. So I had to leave it like 5 a.m. to make it in time. I was still late. But uh, you you didn't want to get a hotel. No, then you got to rent a car because I had to drive to a gig the next day out in that area. And so I set up a gig in Vegas made my money back. We sold out some show, some bar show. So just a gig that paid a thousand dollars. I paid a little more than that. Right. So you it was, uh, but it wasn't out of thing that you would go to Vegas to do. No, no. But it worked out. Yeah. That's great. It's one of the perks of being able to sell a couple tickets. You can just set up shop anywhere. You're portable. My friend, uh, uh, David Finn was doing a, uh, a musical of comedy of errors, uh, Shakespeare that they turned into a musical. It was really great. And he was performing in DC. Like I want to go. Uh, and I got a gig. Uh, it was a DC improv. It happened to have us just a Saturday. What? And a sat which is not easy to do. Unheard of. Um, which I think I have new DC dates. I'll talk about it later. I'm going back. But like I went there. I, I made, you know, more money than a cost to go. Yeah. And I wanted to go. Yeah. Like I have to go to this thing. Can I maybe do an hour of comedy to pay for it all? It's really. It's very nice. It's like being a hooker. Like I'll fly myself out of here and I'll hook. Yeah. I'll, uh, what do you call it? Hook, hook, hook, captain hook. Yeah. Hook shot and, uh, make some money and blow a guy and the whole thing will take an hour. I'm done. Yeah. I got a P like you wouldn't believe. Can I pee and come back while you pee? I'll talk to the audience about something I like about when people have to pee on this podcast. P homes came on here once and in the middle of the conversation, he didn't ask if he had to go pee. He didn't hold until he really had to go. He said, I gotta go pee. And he got up in my pee and I was like, this is great. Wow. If you just know that somebody is going to speak up of for what they need, it makes it a lot easier for me not to have to be like, are you okay? You know, this is something that I told a friend of mine yesterday. Coincidentally, it was on my mind. It could connect to you, perhaps, but that's not my intention. Just like, uh, because how often like I don't really ever think about like, oh, real quick, do you have to go pee? Because if you do, you could go. You know, just go. I've gotten up in and peed before. Nice. Whoa. Grand finale in there, huh? Well, it's hit the end to the stuff. I can hear you. Yeah. For the for the women that watch this podcast, first of all, let me just say you look beautiful. Second of all, you might not know this, but I do this. And it seems like Mark might do this. Sometimes when we're peeing and we think you could hear, we pee into the porcelain. So it's not as loud. But, but also
But then while we're peeing into the porcelain, we're feeling a little insecure that you think our stream isn't good. So at the end, we do a little bit just to show you, we still got it. Exactly. Isn't that funny? Yeah, people, people, that's one of those things that is a human nature thing that you don't learn and you probably don't talk about. Those are fun bits when you say something like, oh my gosh, I'm not the only one that pees out of the porcelain when a girl's watching, but then also pees into the toilet. Do they think our dick is big and worthy? It's so true. And if I have to shit and when the ladies in the room, I'll shit like six seconds, I'll force it out and I'll wipe my ass and throw it on the wall and come back in. Because you don't want her to think that you're shit long. Exactly. Or shit at all. Yeah, that's that I don't connect to. Oh, you don't want to be shit in on a hot date? I need to be able to be myself on a date. I need to. I need to. I need to. We all shit. So does she. She's not going to take a dump on the coffee table. You don't have to take a dump on the coffee table. All right. Or and you don't have to. I tend to go to extremes. I noticed. Um, you know what? I'll do if I have to go poop. If I have, if I'm with a lady, uh, uh, I go, you know what, I, and I make it obvious that I don't have to really make a phone call. I go, I think I might have to go upstairs and make a phone call. Hmm. And then she go and when they go like this, I got it like a poop and then I go, um, uh, and I might take a shit while I'm up there. Oh, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, did the toe in the water, you get a laugh on the shit. You know, okay. I could probably be hard with this person. Oh, that's good. Cause if I can't fart around you, I can't fuck you. Eleanor Roosevelt. Oh. Who's that? Confucius. Oh, you didn't hear me. If you had the headphones on, what'd you say? I said Eleanor Roosevelt. Haha. That's even better. You got Adam Ray. Oh. Boy, you, you missed call. All right. He called back. That's a good sign. You probably texted him and told him to do it. That's true. You know, we will put my volume on. Yeah. See, that's another hassle. Phone calls. We had to use the phone as kids as the only, there was no text. You texted. That made you wrote a postcard, but a phone call is the only way and now kids won't even do a phone call. I say kids. I mean, 23 year olds. Sure. I, but it was also easier to get people on the phone because you weren't just calling one person. You were calling the whole house. I disagree. Easier to get someone on the phone, they had to be at home. They could have been in a car and a movie to show an answer. I'm saying to get an answer. Oh, right. Right. You call Adam. He doesn't answer. You don't know where he is. But you call Adam's mom. You say, hi, Mrs. Ray is, is Adam there? And no, he's at the movies, or yes, hold on, or he's grounded, or you, you would be like, um, and then I, when I grew up, I realized the kid was there and the kid was going like this. Yes. I did a lot of that growing up. I received a lot of that growing up. Oh, how do you know that might have been in your head because you don't know what a good dude I know. I know. I know. Okay. I have a joke that I've said on my podcast before. Maybe I've even said it's you, but I didn't really have friends growing up and I never knew that. I just thought everybody was busy. And like, as an adult, I realized. Good joke. Oh. Oh. Yeah. There was a moment where like when I, like, learned about myself and I was looking back at things where I truly like, it felt really bad and I was so embarrassed. Yeah. Like, I remember I used to, like, my friends, I had, I had people that I thought were friends that would say they weren't allowed their mom wouldn't let them go in the movie. And I would, this is horrific. I would have asked if my mom could talk to their mom, maybe my mom could convince them. Oh. And they would be like, okay. And then my mom, my mom would have talked to their mom and she couldn't convince them. And as an adult, I now grew up realizing like, did my mom know this or like, you know, I don't think she did. You got to ask her. Adam. You there? Hey. Could you hear me? Yeah. Can you hear me? I am on the podcast with Mark Norman and say hello again. I don't know if I could hear you well. Hello. No. No. Hello. That one's good. Do that one. Fuck, hold on. Oh boy. I might just put Jen speaker. All right. One more time. Hello. Hello. Great. So I was telling Mark about a time. And I remember you had a funny point of view on this, but I don't remember what it was. Years ago, years after you were on according to Jim, people would still bring you up to according to Jim. Do you remember? Did you ask him to do that? Still do. Because it's one of the best shows of all time. Great show. What time is passed? Hey man, some of the, some of the, some of the best Belushi bits still hold up on YouTube. Jim or John. Hey, I thought this was a family show. Okay. All right. Looks like we'll keep that in. All right. All right, man. Well, thanks for calling Jim Belushi. I quick Jim Belushi story, though. I finished the taping and I go, I was like, I should go thank the guy. He's my, you know, the, the first, the first sitcom job ever, right? And he's John's brother and I was a big fan. So I go over to his trailer and he's smoking cigars on the phone and I go, Jim, man, just want to say, man, real quick, what, what a day honor to work with you. He goes, yep, but I go, all right, man, I slowly moonwalked away, but he wasn't a dick. He just was, I think on the phone and I just was, I was hoping that he'd be like, let me call you back, Tony. Hey, dude, kid, you were great and then like toss me his jersey or something. Right, right. That's a bummer. McCone, you can't hear it, but you'll, you'll see it when you watch the episode. Oh, you can't hear. That's great episode. Cool. But yeah, getting on that show back then, that must have been wild. That was a big sitcom. I did. It was a season premiere, so Mark, as in total douche early credit fashion, literally when the host ago, anything on me to say, and I'd be like, oh, yeah, season premiere. I remember, I remember one time that I told the kid I go, I go, season premiere of according to Jim. He goes, all right, according to Jim, I go, season premiere. It's almost like they, like, almost like the, the dick at a, at a, you know, in all of a garden when you're like, hey, let me get the never-ending pasta, but, but put the, put the pasta sauce on the side. And he goes, never-ending pasta. You go, pasta sauce on the side, he goes, I heard you, man. Right. I don't know that the latter one makes more sense that I'll have a garden one makes more sense to me than the according to Jim one because that's unique. Yeah. I want the sauce on the side. It doesn't matter. That was the, but the, you know, the season period doesn't really matter. Whether, however you like your seasoning, whether it's season premiere or season on the side, your family. Good. Tis the season. Anything you want to plug? Tis the season. Christmas. Just the season. I would like to plug on the special, oh, oh, oh, not too, not too pleased. Not too pleased. Not too pleased. Season premiere. Not too pleased. Back in the habit. Yes. One of my favorite sequels. Was that my sister act? Thank you. Well, we'll be going to say this and we'll be gober. I do a great. We'll be gober compression. You want to hear? Yeah. This is, we'll be gober getting into a hot tub and realizing that it's too hot. Ready? Oh. Sounds like Puccino a little bit. Oh, yeah. All right. All right. Here's Al Puccino coming in his pants at the ATM. Oh, that's not like we'll be gober. Yeah. All right. Flip him and do that yourself a deal. Yeah. Okay. There's whoopie goberg finding out that she didn't get the part of whoopie on the goberg. There we go. Fuck them. Mother fuckers. We'll be right back. You're right here. I probably get to do it to you. I was Vegas. Let me. Oh, sorry. Vegas was great. The wind was awesome. Shout out to Charles a red eight, by the way, one of my favorite restaurants. The Chinese restaurant. Shout out. It's Dylan. Shout out to everybody. Shout out to Dylan at the win. It's a great carolus. We packed it out. First theater show in Vegas. Well, you've done 20 marks. So you know, congratulations, though, felt special. I did, I did die and come back to life Saturday at the pool. If you got, if you got 12 seconds, I can, if you got 22 seconds, I can give you a quick synopsis. Uh-oh. All right. So I'm at the, I'm at the pool. My buddies from Seattle are down there. It's a March Madness weekend. They have had this trip every year for 20 years. I went on the first five when I was in LA. Now here we are, my show coincides with their trip. We spend the day at the pool. We have dinner and, uh, going to go to Santino Show and then a dark bar later and maybe a club, whatever, rip it up, live it up, suck it up, burn one down, you know, just fucking stop, drop and roll. And, uh, and here I am at the pool. I have four peanut colladas, 15 milligram edible that I ate on accident. I thought it was two and a half. No. All right. That's one of two seconds. And then I got no water. And then I got a massage at the pool, there was a pool, a girl walk around with this and pool massage and a shirt could have been a decoy, but, uh, she, she was, uh, giving massages. I'm getting the massage. Also, and I feel really nauseous. I try to stand up and then I wake up to my wife and my friend screaming bloody murder and I am on the ground, my eyes in the back of my head. And I passed out from a heat exhaustion and all I, I definitely thought I was dead. I definitely thought I was dead because I could hear, I could hear faintly and everything was blurry. And I just remember hearing everyone freaking out and I was like, so all I could remember was something bad is happening.
And I can't do anything about it, but it was like outer body to where it was like, wow, my last few moments on Earth are gonna be me just hearing the panic of people around me that I love. And then I somehow came too. And I came too. And you know what the first thing I thought of was, Jim Belushi not getting off the phone to say, good job, kid. (laughing) Season premiere. No, but I almost, but it was terrifying. And any time I bring it up, I'm mad it gets really sad 'cause she saw the eyes on the back of my head and it was terrifying. So, I'm back to life, but it lingers. Today, the last few days have been wildly exhausting and spacey 'cause you know, you apparently your body still just can't shake it off right away. So probably at least a week off from booze. - Whoa. - Maybe a couple weeks off from Dick and then I'm right back on the wagon. - Well, we're glad you're okay. - Thanks brother. And you know what, if I wasn't okay, the last special I would have seen and posted about would have been none too pleased, streaming now on Netflix. - Thank you for it. - My favorite. - And I'm not even joking and I told you this, Mark, and not many specials warrant a phone call, but that one did. Best special of the year, probably the last five years. And don't tell Burr, but which is gonna be my special. (laughing) - Well, thank you for that note you gave me that voice. I'm not a huge fan of VM. What do you really call that? Voice memo. But man, that was touching. That was a beautiful thing. I really appreciate it. - Yeah, dude, you worked super hard and it shows, dude. But I just, I think comedy is subjective. And Ricky and I have similar sensibilities. And I know you as well are in the same boat where it's just like, you want the joke in the bit as often and as many as possible. But the misdirect and like, you had great themes. You never sat on one topic for too long. You look good, you look like you just freshly invested. And in a rub-and-tug and you just get a glow to you. - I appreciate it, Betty. Thank you. You're a mess. - Congrats, congrats. And I'll see you in May for, at my house, when we do one of my Netflix pod episodes, right? - I can't wait. Yeah, I'm in, baby. That's gonna be a hot fest. - That's gonna be a hot fest. - Let's all try to get on that Kevin Hart roast, huh? - Oh, bro. I mean, that's dude. That seems like that's the new tonight show. - I know, right. Put everybody on the map. It'd be fucked, dude. It's like, yeah, they have to make, I'm willing to assume they're, they're gonna have some of the usual suspects from last year's that people love. A Nikki, a Tony. - Sure. - Right? - Yeah. - Maybe a grog. - Not gonna have a Burton time. I'll tell you that. - Yeah. - All right, we gotta go. We're having a full conversation on the phone. - Yeah, all right. I love you guys. - Rick has gone out to a different home. - He left his item right, AdamRate.tv. Later, bud. - No, Rick, you've done this since the beginning of our friendship. It's AdamRateComedy.com. To who is me, theater tour on sale now. I'm in Facebook, Cleveland, Rick's home, and Columbus, Ohio this weekend. And then we got Napa, Denver, St. Louis, all AdamRateComedy.com. I'm in Seattle, I'm interviewing Dave Matthews at TheSpace, and don't trust your doctor. Go tomorrow. - Oh, man, what a life you have. - It's crazy. - Crazy. - We got TV. Thanks for calling in, bud. - Season premiere of None Two, please. On 2B now. - Hell yeah, for Jam. - Bye guys. - Bye. - Sorry, wrong number. - Good lord, that guy can, yeah. - When I asked if there's anything you want to plug, it's as a thing I asked playfully to people, but also like, yeah, plug, like I wanted him to say something too. But he goes, he plugged your special. So we, which was nice. He took, he took his plug, and he gave it to you. - Sweet man. - But then, then he goes, by the way, I'll be in that another day. - Yeah, yeah. - But to be fair, to be fair, to the way Adam, I want you to know that had you not done that, we would put the dates up. That's what we do in the Take You Shoes Off podcast for our friends and family of the show. - Yes. - Put the dates up. - For a guy who never had friends, you know how to treat him. - A couple out of family. - Huh? - Put these on? - Yours aren't on either. - Got a lot of family. - Ah, see, I like a subtitle. - Yeah. - I like captions. They're not in real time. - Do you put, do you, when you see stories and stuff on your phone, and there's no captions, do you go past it? - No, I try. I can do like a minute or two minutes, but the movie I want to get. - What's up with you and your. - Fucking face. No, what's up with you and your. - Sing it, sister. - The Reddit stuff and the side quests and the drop, like you know, like there will be things that people are saying about me or my podcast or episodes of my podcast that I have no idea that are on the dark web that you message me about. And I remember we talked about something once years ago about some stuff that happened. And it's like, you know, you're more in the zeitgeist of the behind the scenes of comedy than any of my other friends. - Oh, really? Well, I'm a nerd and I think I would probably be in that world if I wasn't in front of it. - That makes sense. - Yes, so you're, so it's not that you're not checking in on you or your friends. You are just, it's a soap opera to you. - I guess, and it's, I'm interested in what people are interested in. You know, like what, I don't care about the little things. There's a million, zillion things going on on Reddit and on the internet, but I, some of them bubble up and actually catch a little steam. And that's what I'm interested in. - Yeah, you big part of the zeitgeist though. - I guess. - You finger on the pulse. - And I kind of hate the zeitgeist. It makes me nervous, it gives me anxiety, but I still am curious. It's like a hypokondriac. - Right. - Right. I'm a, I don't want a disease, but you go, "Oh, what do I have a mole on my ass?" Is that. - Do you see a derm? - No. - You don't see a dermatologist? - No. - I'd like to suggest to everybody who's listening. Once a year, go see a dermatologist. - I don't even have health insurance or car insurance. - Then spend, I don't know, $150. Once a year to see a dermatologist. - All right. - You just made over a thousand bucks in Vegas. - Well, you got to sign, like I tried to get help here. You got to sign up and they said error and I just gave up. - Yeah. I hear you. - Okay. - Then do it without health insurance. - Okay. - See a dermatologist. - I'll do that. - All right. I had a mole lanced off my head. - Who lanced it? - Armstrong. - Bass. - Pro shop. - Oh, I thought you were waiting for him to do one, but you were thinking. - No. Why does he look like a baseball player from the 70s? Have you gotten that? - Yeah. - Like way bogs. - It's also the shorts. - Yeah. - Base hair and mustache. - I did a middle part today. - Ah, the middle part. - Didn't baseball players in the 70s wear green shorts? - I guess, but I'm just going off his mug. - Yeah. He does have a bit of a baseball player porn star vibe. - Yeah. Not a bad look, by the way. Baseball players have a lot of us. - Here's a lot of us. - Hitin' baseballs and fuckin' girls. Or guys. - And you got the dimps. - Yeah. Turn that camera on you. - Yeah. - Oh, you got a Larry Sanders shirt on. I love that. Look at that cutie pie. All right. Enough about him. - What is the dark web saying about your special right now? - Well, funny. Yes. There's sloppy gelope because as a couple of cats, it's probably like 85 good 15 bad percentage. And a lot of these cats out there trying to sound artsy-fartsy, they're going, I thought Mark Norman's new special was, he hasn't evolved, he hasn't found himself, he doesn't know who he is yet. - That's what I was thinking when I was watching the beginning. - Yeah, fuck. Well, there's a lot of that going on and I'm like, I'm a comedian and I'm telling jokes. That's what I did. That's what I do. You don't like it. - So these are people that were our Mark Norman purists and think that maybe. They're purists. I don't know, but well. Talk to them. Well, like one battle after another was a fantastic film, but there's a lot of people hate that too. - Sure. - And I'm not saying I'm a PTA level or anything. I'm just saying. - Sounds like that's what you're saying. - No, I'm not saying I'm PTA, but I'm just saying, a PTA, yeah, there you go. Parent teacher gay, but you know, hey, you can think what you can think and I'm glad you watched it. I can't. - Thanks for watching it. I can't control everybody's thoughts. I want you to like it. If you don't like it, that's, that's your prerogative. - Who sings that? - Ron. - Yes. - Thank you. - Is that right? - Well, it's mine. - Yeah. Yeah, right. - Well, listen, this is the end of the show, but before we end. - Well, I feel like we ended poorly. Shit. - Did we? - Dude, you always, you always say that. You and Ritunitsky have that in common. - Ah. - This isn't good. You know, I'm gonna be mad at me. It's different. You, you say it because you believe it and then you, I don't know if you really care later. I think Ritunitsky kind of sits on it for a little bit. - Yeah. He'll, he'll fester. - Yeah. We talk about this a little bit. Yes. Absolutely. Adam's family. No friends and Adam's family. But, uh, yeah, you, whatever, but you probably don't always feel that way. Maybe you just feel that way when you're with me. Maybe it's because I don't, I don't give you a strong enough place to shine. Maybe you feel that way. - No, we were shining up top. Adam Ray. Suck the energy. - Yeah. - Do you feel that when you say those kinds of things like when you mentioned Bert and Tom or do you ever, are there ever times do you stave stuff or you're like, that's funny to say it's fine. They're my friends or versus like, ah, that's mean. - Oh, yeah. - When does it mean? Because it's not that if it's not true.
because you really think that happened and you're making fun of it. Well, I told, I would tell Bert that to his face. Right. So, that's kind of my gauge of, do I do the joke? But there's a difference between saying something to his face and not saying it to their face. That's true. Like, for example, you did quite the opposite with the, with the, the bar, bar, bar, bar, whatever, whatever, that woman got her dick sucked who you got who cut your hair. Wanda's Snippy Snaps. Wanda's Snippy Snips. Yeah. We'll still never hear it. You don't think she listens? Yeah. She's a fat lady in Iowa. She's not here at this. She doesn't even know what a podcast is. Do you think that that kind of language kind of would make it difficult for you to be a good father to a daughter? No. Okay. All right. Anything you want to plug or if you want, you know, because you think that the energy went down a little bit. We could end on a boom and I don't know if you would do this seriously. I'm guessing you won't, but I'm going to ask you anyway. Yeah. We should end it. What do you got? We don't have to. We can end it. All right. Well, just not curious. No, you don't want to hear it. Okay. You're right. All right. I'll tell you. Okay. Thank you. Do two minutes of standup. No. Horrible. I did it. Terrible. Terrible. We got to wrap it up. Two minutes is an eternity. I'd rather jerk off for two minutes in the window. We can end with that. You're going to get a season to sister from the neighbor. You think they're going to say this? I think they would just say like, was that Mark Norman? Oh, Jesus Christ. Well, we were out of time. We were out of time. Yeah. The jerk alarm. I sometimes like some of the guests I've had over my place, I do sometimes think like if my neighbor saw it, they'd be like, what's going on in that house? Oh, dude. I have windows at my house that lead to the sidewalk and me and Joe Lister on microphones and people walk by and go, what the fuck are they doing in there? You're saying while you're in your house, they're looking in. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And we're just two idiots on a couch going and they're holding grocery bags like, what the hell? You ever think to when you see that to bring them in? No. No. No. This is New York City. These are some real credence. You on the first floor? Yeah. In New York City? Yeah. I got bars on the windows. Don't worry. But they can see you right through them. All right. So they think we're doing hot ones or something in there. They don't know what's going on. Well, I will say and pardon me for playing with words that are pretty much just so obvious, but I think a lot of people are pleased with your special. Oh, thanks. Congratulations on having the endurance to do more jokes than any special I've ever seen 20 minutes of so far. Oh, I appreciate it. And the endurance to come to LA and do all these podcasts. I'm glad you did it. And we did this art schedules match to a place where the only way we would be able to do it was you. I think you weren't Philly. You took a train, right? Or a plane or something. And you came straight from Grand Central with your luggage. You brought your luggage here again because that lost to me. I appreciate it that you also wanted to make time. I know you promote your special, but we need to get, you know, I need to have guests. I need a podcast. Hey, no, you got, you reached out and I appreciated that. Yeah. Thanks for making the time. This is your seventh episode in the seventh location. Crazy. Let me try to guess them all. We did your house. My old house. Old house. Then we did some weird hotel in Midtown. That was a weird one. Then we did some crazy loft in Jersey. I think that was my access place. Yeah. Okay. You were banging a gale over there. Then we did a hold on, hold on. Four was a, ah, shit, you sure was seven? I looked it up before this. Okay. Yeah. It was. Oh. You had that studio in Chinatown, ah, Alex Media Studio, WTF studios. Yes. Was that the fourth one? I don't know. But then we did Red Dinsky. No. So the first one was my old place. Yep. Then it was the rug store. We skipped the rug store. Oh, the rug store. I don't forget that. Then it was Midtown Hotel. Yep. Then it was my exes in Jersey. Yep. Then it was the, that studio. Yep. The Canal Street. Then it was the studio, the different studio that we did with, where they were in Nitsky. Yes. Yes. And then here. Yeah. One, two, three, four, five, six, and now here. Seven. Hey. I wonder if eight, do we find a new place? I think we can do it. You're coming to New York. You'll get a new studio. Maybe I'll record it in the, in the, ah, we might be drunk studio. Perfect. We'll have, we'd love to have you. I think we'll do my podcast there. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. It'll be cool to, it'll be like a fun little cycle, also how exhausting if, if it works out that you're in LA. I have to rent some place or maybe next time we'll go, like maybe, we'll do it the whiskey ginger place or something. Oh, yeah. Just mix it up. Yeah. I think that's fun. I think there's something kind of fun about like finding this accidental, like Sona. It turned out, ah, ah, Sona Mufcessine who comes on every year. Uh, I think we just set up a, so it's six together now. Not, not the first one, but everyone there after it was every January. It just happened a few times, so now like that's January. And Santino is on every 50, every episode, uh, 50, 150, 250, and it's going to be next week. Yeah. It'll be 350. Wow. Uh, and it's fun. Fun little side, side, side quest. I love it. I love it. I'm going to get you a little bit of the airport. I'm going to call it now. Oh, what a guy. Uh, all we need left is to do a Polaroid, please. You got it, Betty. See music. Scoot. Hi, Taryn Killam from SNL and various TV film projects here. Um, if you're still watching the pod, thank you on behalf of Rick and the Tyso organization. Um, and if you're listening to it, which is how I consume the pod normally, this might be a moot point. Because earlier in this episode, there was a text exchange, visual, text exchange between Rick and I where Rick asked if he could use, uh, my name and talking about Club 33 and Mark didn't know my name and I said, fuck that guy for not knowing my name ingest. It was ingest, um, I've never met Mark. Mark seems very funny, um, but I'm feeling a lot of shame about that exchange, um, because it was petty and it came from place of insecurity. And I think the reason I was feeling especially insecure is because my new television comedy stumble on NBC Fridays at 830 season one now streaming on peacock, um, is doing great with critics and has a very, uh, strong fan base, but we're, we're a bubble show, if I'm being honest. And, um, Mark, not knowing who I was, struck a chord, you know, because if Mark doesn't know my name, my, my name, obviously there's a lot of other people out there don't know me by name and, and I'm worried that my TV series stumble on NBC Friday nights at 830 season one now streaming on peacock might not last if people don't start watching it and, and posting about it and telling friends to watch it, and I let that fear and that insecurity about my job to bleed out and tear somebody else down with hate, which is not how I want to be and it is not representative of the wonderful cast and crew of stumble on NBC 830 season one now streaming on peacock. So I'm sorry to mark and I'm sorry to Rick and I'm sorry to the listeners for being such a petty small man, which quite honestly is the opposite of my character boon on stumble. Friday nights on NBC 830 season one now streaming on peacock. And I think if there's any way to make this right, it's for everyone to celebrate my birthday, which is in fact today, April Fool's Day, not a joke. That's not a joke. That's my real birthday. Google it when you're googling my name to try to put it to a face to, I guess a midling successful career, but gosh, imagine if you all gave stumble NBC 830 Fridays season one streaming on peacock a chance and fell in love with it and then it became a hit and then Mark would always know who Rick was talking about when he said my name. I think that's the only way to make this right. That's the only way to make this right. Thank you for your time.
