The Nick Kroll Episode

The conversation is a rich, humorous, and deeply personal exploration of creativity, identity, and humor. It begins with imaginative yet satirical ideas—like a $100 charity smoothie at Airwan or a fictional Brad Pitt masturbation story at Mel’s Diner—used to critique consumerism and capitalism. The speaker shares formative experiences from childhood, including a crush on a girl and early body awareness, which inform their comedic worldview. Central to the discussion is the passion for comedy as a lifelong pursuit, shaped by early recognition of humor and personal growth. The speaker reflects on how vulnerability and authenticity drive their humor, especially in moments of connection with others. They also discuss voice acting, childhood influences, and their admiration for animated comedy like *Big Mouth*, which they see as a space for deep, nuanced storytelling. Personal values—such as modesty, faith, and authenticity—are woven throughout, evident in lifestyle choices like fully clothed intimacy and adherence to modern Orthodox Jewish traditions. The dialogue balances absurdity with sincerity, revealing a self-aware, reflective, and deeply human perspective on humor, relationships, and self-expression. It underscores how laughter arises from everyday life, personal quirks, and the shared joy of being seen and understood.

He's like, he's like, the next one. - Yeah, next one's in fucking doozy. - Jeremy Allen White's got a good bud. - Yeah, well, I mean, that's the best. - Sometimes I don't know where his belly button is though. - I haven't looked at it that closely. - He may have had a removed. - Your people have their belly button. - Yeah, they do. - He's so like, you're so like, come, - I saw the pictures that you're talking about. - They do not. - I think that you're saying like that. - I think even your shirt is just high. - I think the skin is so taught around his muscle. - Yeah, that any, you know, non-smooth thing is just gonna be pulled too tight. - Have you ever had a six pack? - No. - He does, you do. - No, we've had, we both had a thing where we look. - He hasn't had it like me. - Good. - Yeah. - Or we were like, ripped like, no. - No, they think if they just alter like the angle and then they clean back and then they get this high. - This is like as good as I can look like. - That looks good. Okay, that looks great. - Yeah. - You look like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, - It's like that, is that the, like a, like a, like a, - But that's actually not that great. - Like if you walk up and look, it's just kind of like, - Right, but the lighting, that's what it looks like. - Why do they check that? - Right, yeah. - You're a vulnerable, like naked, like looking at yourself and like, you're like, fuck. - Yeah, of course, yeah. - Did you ever have a six pack? - Never had a six pack.

My first song I ever put out, like one of the main bits was dick has ass. - I basically met my girlfriend's X Boyfriend and he's like so, like, jacked and cool. And then, like, I'm peeing next to him in the stall. - Right. - I'm gonna go over at his dick and his dick has ass. - Nice. - Yeah. - It's like aspirational. - I like it. - Yeah, that's why. - Honestly, I saw that video on it from that day photo. I was like, I'm gonna look on my cock until it gets, it gets abs. (upbeat music) - What do you rank super bad? - I haven't seen it in a long time. I'd love to go back and watch. I bet it's good. - I saw it. - Two days ago. - It still holds up. - It hit us when we were like junior seniors in high school. - Oh, yeah. - So for us, it's like no question the comedy movie of our life. - Yes, yes. - What's the comedy movie of your life? Like heavyweights? - Of course, the Oscar, multi Oscar-winning film, heavyweights. No, that means that Wayne's World. It's Wayne's World. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - Wayne's World is like being a dude. - And then the producers, 'cause I was a fancy little boy. - The producers, you loved it. - The Mel Brooks first movie. - What do you mean by that? You were just into plays and-- - It was just that I knew 'cause I had older brothers that I knew my older brothers. I knew about the producers. I felt like I was like-- - That's how big La Basque was for me. - Yeah, yeah. I once saw that with, I once saw La Basque with my brother, the two of us on a vacation. I got an allergic reaction to the sun. - Wait, not in theaters. - In theaters. - Oh, so this is pre like, everyone knowing it was-- - Yeah, yeah, I saw it in a small town in my brother. I remember my brother being like, it was fine. It was the first time I was like, what the fuck are you talking about? Like that movie rock's so hard, you know? And we since patched, patched. - Yeah, you-- - I have one brother. - I have one brother. - How many sisters? - Two sisters. - You're close with your brother. - Yeah, I'm close with my brother. - How did you know? - The way I'm talking about it. - You went to see a movie with this brother. - You went on a vacation together solo. We went away a couple times, it was cool, it was fun. - How old were you when you guys went on a solo vacay? - He was like, probably in his mid to late 20s and I was like in college. - That's sweet, that's really sweet. - That's what I love. - Yeah, I was really cool on a solo vacation. - Where are you from? - I'm from Westchester County in New York. - What are you trying to do physically? - I was deciding, I went there and then we came and re-engaged Troy did a little-- - You know what, I just sometimes-- - I do a little crawl. - You can do whatever you want. - Dave does a little-- - What kind of accent? - What kind of accent? - I don't know, I thought you were more on-- - No, you just sounded very-- - You thought it was Ish Coast? - Do I sound very Jewish? - Yeah, you sounded extremely-- - Yeah, you sounded me mid-Atlantic slightly. - What's a mid-Atlantic accent? - What do I sound? - Like Philly Ish? - No, yeah, Philly on that, Michigan though, Michigan. - Yeah, but I like that. - I mean, I like that. - You sounded like a created fit. - Yeah, I do, the first round of AI. - Oh my God, great, I'm doing my first-- I'm gonna need so much help. I'm doing my first voice. - Voice over? - No, no, I'm gonna be in a movie. - Yeah, great. - Well, I made a movie. - Yeah, I'm the lead. - Wow. - You say him? - No, you're not. - Yes, I am. - You're the enemy, the French, the thing. - Yeah. - There's two leads in the movie, and I am one of the lead. - Just remember I said he's not the lead when you watch the movie. - If you had said one of the leads, you would have been fine. He would have let you go. - No, it depends on the movie. Like, for example, like, would you say that Joker is the lead of a Dark Knight? - No, he won Best of Police after. - One of the leads. - No, I just think I'm one of the leads. - Well, you said the lead. - Yeah, he said I'm the lead. - Didn't I change it to one of the leads, though, after? - After, after. - After, after, after. - So it makes this relationship so beautiful, that's as long as you guys hold each other to a higher standard. - But you're doing it. His voice is like-- - That's a great voice. - His range, too. He do all the different things. - I play the villain. - I love playing the villain in animated movies, especially the villain is real fun. - When did you, like, come to the realization? I'm sure you always felt like super funny and making everyone laugh. When did you even realize that you were good at doing voices? - I always did voices growing up, me and Andrew, who I created Big Mouthwood. We've been-- - We go as our best friends. - I've known him since first grade. We were best friends, like, from, like, middle school on. And so that's how we, you know, like, you had your buddies who you did shit with, and he was my buddy who I did stuff with. And we were, I think it was, I honestly believe, everyone thought I was, like, pretty funny growing up, but, like, I think it was a lot more hit and miss than I would have liked. And so when I ended up becoming an actual, like, successful working comedian and actor, I think people were, I wouldn't say surprised, but it wasn't a given. - Yeah. - Do you know what I mean? Like, I don't think-- I mean, you start-- like, you start being a professional musician young, right? - I have-- yeah. - Yeah. - So you-- and you-- - I said, people weren't surprised. - People weren't surprised. - Yeah. - You don't even have to come over here. - I don't even have to come over here. I don't even have to come over here. And then. You get to go off and improvise based on what that early structure is. A fine point, just put like a speech, no need. And then I kind of talked shit about the administration and they got very upset about that. And so that night I remember going to the high school graduation party and felt like I'd blown it. - But it also felt like wow, I must be something if they voted me. - Of course. - But then I had another opportunity. - You knew those are the same and then you instantly had that information to be like, ah, and that's like point and then the next year or two years later I go to college and I start, the really the one I felt it is like, I try to do this, the funniest act on campus, like I'll give it a try. And I bomb, but Mike Brubigli is in, he wins. He's like a year ahead of me at school. He wins that thing and gets to start performing like the DC improv, whatever. - Wait, are you from DC? Why do you say DC? - I went to school in DC. - Where? - Georgetown University. - Oh, my stepmom works there. - Really? - I grew up in Virginia. - I grew up in a party. - I wish I could've gone, like if I, my parents, I feel like they've undervalued me. - I know, I know, I grasp. - Thank you. - Talk about how your parents undervalued me. - No, I just feel like, I mean my parents, to be fair, I could not have gotten into Georgetown. - Sure. - But I, on my own merits, nor could I. - What would you do? - I would take, you know. - No, I don't know. Like, you know, family connections. - Oh, really? - Do you feel like you always have to be on now? Like now that you're like perceived, like, or is it just so natural? - No, I was very conscious of not being in my real real life and with the people, it was like turning it off. As soon as I got to be famous, I was probably on my whole childhood and into finding actual success. At that point, I think I started to feel like it was like not cool and people would, I'd get the reflection from people that it wasn't cool to be always on, but then you probably self-correct so much so that eventually I'm like, not nearly, like I can fully turn it off. Like, because we're like trying to fucking entertain everybody, you're gonna get some jokes here. But like, moment to moment. I wouldn't be as like, yeah, I wouldn't be as like, but yeah. - Yeah, yeah. - But isn't your, I'm just speaking through my own experience. - Yeah. - Is your, what's happening to you? I'm giving myself a little backscrap. I got real sensitive skin. I'm getting a little backscrap. - Do you want to smooth that pill? - You know, I'm gonna. - The way your body is contorted. - Yeah, don't you like that? - I'm like, I'm directed right to you. - Look at what I'm trying to get. - I don't try to get this, like you slouching. - You are like a flexible. - Yeah, legs broke. - Like, what'd you say? - What if you just saw me lick leave and I fully just-- - Yeah, by that. - And then, anyway, what were you saying? - Like, I feel like you strike me as a man. - You know, your personal joy can come from the little moments where you seek a joke and make, like to me, I'm never happier than like, I'm around someone. I don't know that well and I'm making them laugh. Like when I make you laugh, I feel like, I'm reminded of like what I'm like the injection of happiness. - Yeah, yeah. - So, but I don't really think about it as trying to be on or not. Like, I feel like my natural, the thing that would give me the most joy I guess is the act of being somewhat on. And I think you probably have a clear line if you're like, I'm not funny right now, I'm angry about this. And I don't think I have that. So I'm in like a lightly docile state in most times, but only more being like, it's time to like, my role in whatever this interaction is is to be more entertaining. - Hey, have you ever been on the phone and someone? - I'm waiting to decide what I do with my expression. - I feel like you're the only to see me do it with your legs. - Well, I need to know what you're gonna say and then we'll finish up. - Have you ever been on the phone, like talking to someone? And they say, are you the guy from that? Like, 'cause your voice is so distinctive. - Well, it's interesting, man. (laughing) I'm chosen to engage you by my personal voice. - Yeah, but your personal voice you'll be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - All of a sudden. - It's all a choice of an accent, a dialect, and then a modulation. And then if there's some extra something on it. You know what I mean? - It's a four part, that's it. - It's a four, three, four part for my voice over. - How are you talking about it? - I'm with you, I'm with you. - I'm with you too. - Okay, like Gunter. I'm Gunter in the Sing movies. - Okay. - Keep going. - Yeah, it's a spicy little novel, right? It's like, so it's like. - Hi. - Yeah, it's like, "Made your piggy power," right? - You know what I'm saying? That's as big. - Now, did you make that up? - So I get sent that, this guy, Garth Jennings, who directed the Sing movies, incredible animator. He made those and he made a kid, I made a great movie called "Son of Rambo," but he's made those, over the last like 10 years, he's made the Sing movies, which I think are really, I'm in it, so I'm jealous. - Yeah, I did stuff. - I'm one of the leads of that film. - There you go. - But I was not originally. - Yeah. - See, he worked towards it. - I worked my way through, no, because he, so I had done, I get that part sent to me. It's like, I just know it's like a broadly northern European accent, and I meet Garth, and he's like, "Kidsey and I did a Euro guy on "Croll Show," and he was like, "Here it is." And I'm like, "Great." So then I'm like, "All right, you want that? You want the guy who talks like this?" And he's able to do this. And he's, you know, like, that's the vibe, right? But then it's a kid's movie. It's an animated, big, like, sparkling, dancing pig. So, you know, so then, it's like, where's the modulation on it, right? So it's like, "He knows that, right?" And he's super, he's fun, and he's going to be a good time. - Do you ever regret your choice because of the effort that it caused? - So, right, so that, after a few hours of constriction is hard, it's hard. But my one physical strength, I think, is my ability to do long, short, yes, 'cause then like, - What I'm talking, as what's a hormone monster? - More in it. - More hormone monster, this is sort of, see that, so that's a lower register with a scratch on the voice. - That's unreal. - I thought you were not. - Yes, people think that Mori is Will Arnett. - Do it again. - Does that drive you nuts? - It makes me crazy. (laughing) - Again, just a little bit taking away from a wonderful success. - Wow, okay, I keep going, I need that one. - So then there's Rick, who's the hormone monster, who's, he was, started as Coach Steve's hormone monster. So he's broken down, he shouldn't be with Steven. - I love that. - One of my favorites. - Right, so he grew, well, he's, he's this, no, he's Robert in the body of the sort, I love him, though, the scratch, like Mori has. - Mori has the scratch. - But he's a piece, Martin. I'm gonna go for my philosophy, because this mouth all fine. (laughing) - This is one of my favorite things in the world. Like, just watching you do that is like, it's a joy at the top of the list of like, like, honestly, this is almost as good to me. - If Trevor Parker and Matt Stone were here. - No, this is almost, (laughing) but like, if you see Seth McFarlane, is he like, like, do they know? - Yeah, we, and it's their competitive energy at all. - But I mean, with those guys, not a chance, I knew Seth, when I was like his assistant's friend, who would like, glom on to go to a, you know, a family guy's family, Christmas party. - I mean, I'm competitive, I mean, like career, I'm more competitive career-wise than I am like, - Who's your media, who's like your, my arch-nemesis? - Yeah, or like, your north star of like, - Well, this is weird on that career. - It's Steve Martin. - Is it? - Why is it weird? - I just don't know. - We're just been. (laughing) - No, I just feel like we've been in competition, or? - So obviously, what I mean is, I look at Benny, 'cause like, obviously Selena is married, and then we should, and so it's awkward. - Yeah, we can kind of feel it. - But I have a healthy competition with all of my friends in comedy, because I also am attracted to talent. I'm attracted to the most funniest, most talented people, so I can't help but be like, I don't know, or you got, I mean, you guys are different, but like, are you competitive, are you guys competitive? - Who are you checking on, though? Like, who's like, everyone? - No, oh really? - But I know that I'm unnaturally competitive, to a point where it's just, it shouldn't be, like I, this should be. - But you're not that competitive. - I'm only competitive. - You make a few comments, and then you, you're not like seeking out the win. - I'm not that competitive, 'cause I win. - But like, for example, for me, this is, it's not competitive, but it's just like, it means it's slightly fraught, which is like, you guys mentioned super bad. That comes out when I'm like, in my late 20s, I'm in comedy for a number of years, and I'm not close. - You're not rooting for it like a high school. - I'm not, yeah, I'm not close. I'm in the making, I desperately wanna be in a movie, and I'm not, I'm like, I've met, like I remember, I was like an extra, and I was a human giant sketch, like Aziz, Paul Sheer, and Rob Hubel sketch show on MTV. And like, Jonah was there, and he was in the sketch, and I was a glorified extra, which I was thrilled to get like a credit in a thing. And Jonah was like, yeah, I made this movie with Judd, and Seth, and it's testing really well, and I was just like, how do you even do that? - Yeah, yeah. - When it comes out, I watch it, but I watch it, like, I can't watch it with pure joy. - Did you feel like there was like the Judd Apetal group of, like, like, it was like a-- - And you were not in that group. - What I was know, but I was like, I slowly weaseled my way. (laughing) - But you created your own path, I feel like. - For sure. - You did your own thing, that you don't even have to be grouped into the, like-- - Ultimately, I'm too impatient to, like, I was always too impatient to wait to be chosen. - Yeah. - Across the board, do you know what I mean? - Yeah. - So it's like, you just gotta start to move along and find your way. And then you end up being like someone and you're like, okay, I guess I make stuff. And other people, you know what I mean? And like-- - Yeah. - And if you make it, yeah, anyway, I don't know. What's the name of the place that you do? - It's so funny just so quickly that this is like a show, but it feels like, 'cause we're in a house, like it feels like we're all having like an early hang where we like really are getting to know each other, right? - I feel that way. - That's what this is all about. - So, but what's so funny is that because it's like, you guys are all kind of, I'm the guest. - Yeah. - It's, I'm on, I'm like both like so excited that you guys just are interviewing me and I get to just tell you what I ask of that. - But I feel like it feels in, like in a whole light. - Do you think it's just 'cause of the seating might almost be making it worse, the way in which-- - You want to sit, you want to switch with it? - Yeah, I want to switch with it. - Let's see how it feels. Let's see how it feels. - I hope your legs work. - Yeah. - Yeah, hold on, I forgot to hold on. Let me get, let me get up again. - Hold on. - Okay. - Okay. - Dave likes his face a lot. - Yeah, Dave really likes this seat. - Sure, Dave likes his face a lot. - This is what he does. - You know, he'll fix his posture. - He goes like that, he fixes his posture. - And then he sits back and he sits as tall as he can. - Okay. - Yeah. - There you go. - He makes it me. - He makes it me. - He makes it me. - He makes it me. - He makes it me. - Listen, I think he's making a great point about tone and I think it needn't be-- - Tank tones. - We should just be hanging out. We shouldn't be asking this tall. - But no, but I think it is. - I like it, but I'm just saying-- - I just like it, I'm just forcing it. - I like it, do you think it's unique? - He's just insecure right now. - It does feel, I don't think I've done this version of it. - Yeah. - You wanna play basketball while we're doing it? - Wow, that's your vibe now. - No, I don't like that. That feels like you're looking down on him. - I feel intimidated by you now. - Yeah. - I'm kidding. - You seem-- - I'm just, I don't know. It just doesn't, it needn't be like-- - It needn't be. - Yeah, just throw ball around. Yeah, we're just just the guys hanging in there. - Whoever's talking can have the ball. Maybe we try that after we got something to say. - Yeah. - Okay. - Wow, nice. - One hand, bro. - One hand, bro. - What a-- - Did you have nothing to say after that? - Give it back. - No. - Give it back. - Anyone I've ready to say? - Right now. - You got something? - I have something to say. It's gonna be a quick hand off. - I wanna say one thing before I pass it to you. I got the ball. - Okay. - What's the name of the place where you do the comedy shows where you bring comedians on stage and-- - No. - What? - Now he's fixing it. What's going on? - Well, I don't know. Well, you're wearing a sweatshirt. So you're like locked into whatever has happened, right? - You can do it. - Do you want me to like, tuck in the back of you or something? - You can't take your jacket out. - What is your like, butt crack, Sean? What's happening? - Yeah, my butt crack is I'm trying to wipe my butt crack on your thing. So I need to read right now my t-shirts getting in the way. I'm trying to leave my little scent on your fucking house. So you never forget. - You like me. - Well, I just wanna say one thing. - What do you wanna say? - As a competitive Jewish comedian. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You're mad. - What? - You're mad, he didn't invite you on the Largo. - He didn't invite me. - I was there. - I was there. - No, I'm thrilled. I think, I know. - I'm, of course. - I don't want to. - Yeah, the invitation is wide open. - I was just there as a consumer. You know, first of all, I think you're an absolute pillar of the comedy landscape. And in so many different ways is that pillar even go. And I remember going there that night and just feeling so happy to be there. - Oh, great. - And so much like you brought it all to be and there was like, I just felt the joy of what I know comedy is supposed to be. And I looked at you that night and I said, I'm never gonna feel an ounce of competitive energy towards this man because he's so pure and I like him so much. - That's so nice. - It was so nice. - Not many can say whatever he's done. - That's dumb little dick joke comedians. (laughing) - That's so kind of you. Thank you. - I do have a question. - Yeah. - What do you feel like now in your career, when you just like bomb? - He does and he's too funny. - I've seen him do a show that's like spectacular and then I've seen him do a show where it's like really good. - Come on off with what I said. I'm mad. - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp, which she is. - Great. I texted my therapist today. I just thought to myself, why am I trying to figure it all out? - It's good to have help. And by the way, you can tell me anything when it's probably stuff I've already talked about. - You already know about all of it, but I think she's really great at helping me talk through it.

It was just the girl, it was-- - I've talked about this on stage, but it's like, it's just the girl, the girl I had a crush on for like all of elementary school was like sitting, like watching TV on the ground. And she was alone and then we were, it was like one of the first boy and girl, I just remember it was like, one of the first boy and girl parties. Like we're everywhere. - Everyone's getting together. It was like an, you know, and the girl sitting in there was like the girl that I had a crush on for literally all through elementary school. And the girl who came up and pants to me was a year above me and she, but she, it was even more complicated 'cause she let me like feel her up like, at some point. - Fourth grade. - No, no, no, six seventh grade. - Oh, okay. - Yeah, keep going. - So we, and so then it was a real, yeah. So it was, and I had not had puberty yet. - Passing in front of, why many people saw it? - Really, honestly, just like my crush saw. - Yeah. - The rest of the room was behind it. - Yeah. - So they saw me, they saw my cheeks. So I had, I had a second to glance. - Did you have good, do you have good cheeks? - What did you say you had? - I wish it were a cheek conversation. It would have been much better. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - When you haven't hit puberty, your balls, did you drop your teeth? - No, your dick is, your dick's smaller and your balls haven't really brought in. - I mean, by seven, by 13 your balls, you've got balls, but they're not really your balls. - I mean, it's obvious. - Yeah. - I don't think my actual soft dick has ever grown. It feels the exact same size. - The exact same size. - The owner has grown. - Do you guys like it when people have different color dicks than the rest of their body? - My, I kind of have like, - I would consider your dick being slightly different color. - No. - My dick's tanner than my body. - Yeah, yeah. - What were you talking about before? - We were talking about my soft dick. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - He's dick, he's dick. - Oh, listen to his dick. - His dick is actually a triangle. - It's not, it is not. - I guess it is. - I drew it the other, I'll draw it right now. - No, come on. - He's a triangle. - Too much, no drawing. - He has a triangle. - I would love at some point. It doesn't have to be today. I would love to see a drawing of his dick. At some point, whenever the time is right, he has a triangle penis. - What do you think? - The penis is a full triangle. - That's a chalkboard. - The chalkboard. Is that what the penis looks like? Is it like an upside-down heart? - Kind of. - It's so sweet. - Where's the chalk in the thing? - In the cupboard? - I really am good at drawing it. I drew it, I drew it, I drew it for the dog. - This is what I was looking at. - This isn't a part of it. - Okay, but this part is, it starts and it comes wider and then comes back to that. - What are you doing? - Okay. - That's huge. - Well, that scale. - Scale it. - Scale it. - That looks like my bowler. - Yeah. - Just scale it. - His dick. - Looks exactly like. - You can write Bob. - Here, you know what it looks like? - His dick literally looks like this. And then these are his balls. And it looks almost like a nose. - Looks like a manatee. - Okay, sure, sure. - And like. - The smallest manatee. - Doesn't this look like your dick? - No, it's so welcoming. Not that you care. - I do, I very much do. He named himself the devil's important part of his identity. - I can only talk about it. - First thing, no about your dick. - So this is the hang zone. - Yeah. - Yeah, how would your cock fit into this spider web up here? - Not very well. - It feels like this area is the cock. - You got it. - Copy that. - So, you know, me and David always talk about this, 'cause like for him, his show, like, was so freeing. - Yes. - Because he could talk about his dick for the first time. He could, like, did you, even though yours was animated, did you have that feeling with a dick mouth? - For sure, very much so. And what I thought, what I really respect, I mean, I love the show. - Thank you. - I love the show. - I love the show. - Thank you. - Do you like airplanes? - I love the, I love the current politics of the men who made airplane. - Yeah. - What I liked about, I mean, very many things about the show, but you get, by the end of season one, where you meet, you meet and kill your 13 year old self, basically, right? It's like a really impressive leap to get to, at that moment in the show, it took big mouth I'd say like the end of season three is about anxiety and I meet my future self Nick Star and we like you know I go to battle with him about like my issues as an adult of intimacy of vulnerability all those things right I was I do feel bad because I did tell the pop pop rotsie that I was coming here so yes these were all aerial cameras over top trying to get the fucking live they look like we're I bet I fucking try and they're like and they're like and they were like and they were like out there and they were trying to get it to get a shot no we had a special thing like you're a force field you know the famous for the whole place you want to go inside I didn't realize armageddon was happening on the couch yeah why don't we move on you know how much do you use the green egg do you I know but he does he do you guys use it or no or no yeah do you do you cook all this chick chat about food makes me really want to eat a seven-dollar box feast from KFC am I here selling out I don't think so because I love this box I'm not even kidding you can tell how serious I'm you can look at my eyes and you know how much I love this box it's the perfect amount of food it's seven dollars it's got nuggets it's got fries it's got a snacker I don't know what more you would want it's all the items I would want in life in one box a great price so I'm thrilled to be doing this right now like we're doing this if you were here if you weren't here I can profit off of this and eat and still be hanging out I think speaks to what we're doing here so thank you for your time and if it yeah but and like I think the difference is what people have so scared of comedy wise in that way is like the the direct interaction of like getting on stage I prepared this or this is who I am I'm not delivering it to you and you either gonna laugh out loud or not like it right whereas a song like you could go do a big fucking song with like you know Rihanna right who I think is beautiful is so beautiful both inside and and happily married so happy so happy for Rihanna you want to see his legs I'll show you my legs I'll show you my dry legs but I but if if the song you make Rihanna doesn't work you it just doesn't nobody just nobody really plays that track yeah but it impacts the it's like it's like a movie bomb it's like a movie bomb when I'm the artist like a joke on the night like yeah I mean if you guys performed live and bought like your shit doesn't play right that night yeah yeah yeah I was on stage in front of like 20,000 people and I accidentally is completely my fault pulled out like like the main chord and like my computer shut down and on on stage you hear and it shuts down and then I have to wait and I'm like sitting there and everyone's like who's a buzz on your like hearing noise and I'm like I'm like talking to the guy and then they get it back and I have to turn my computer on through the speakers and it's like in front of like 20,000 people and it was yeah was do you remember what song you played out of that no but I do remember I do remember a story are you a hero at the end of the story though do you put on the music and does everybody yeah of course but wait check do it's not a bomb do I yes it's a technical issue it's like a funny home this half during your that's a tech issue stadium tour yeah no everyone knows not to blame you know 20,000 it was it was smaller I have a I have a I have a question I'd like to know mm-hmm your your top he thinks of the question most yeah no I already knew it I was like I think but I do feel like that's how he's like I got a question and it's like it's like you're like I'm I'll write it's I'm writing a song and I'm like like and your makes your brain be like no I was like the question I knew the question I'm deciding whether I was gonna have you do three or one okay and then I said three will be way too long and then I was deciding I was the question was like your most embarrassing child story and then I was like fuck I'm gonna say should I say accept that besides that one from I was I was I was figuring out how I was gonna phrase yeah yeah second guessing in your head well no I was just trying to figure out the most what is your most embarrassing story not counting if that one from earlier showing your baby penis to a yeah most embarrassing childhood yeah she gets the ball now what if I successfully just said you're worst most embarrassing childhood story I would love that guess you also wore diapers 14 yeah yeah she did you wore diapers and night yeah yeah yeah bed weddings yeah yeah you're recess you're recess how we're sleepovers how we're sleepovers I'm so happy that you ask because no one's asked me that how are they I sat everybody down and I told them that I wore pull-ups I every few years will randomly for no real reason pee in my sleep a little bit like like a month ago I like was like dreaming about peeing like I just really needed to pee and I and I ended up peeing like how much like I mean I let's say I soak through a couple mattress I'm having so much fun yeah you must have some guess where you're fucking pulling teeth it's not really but it they're not you're just so fun like it's so nice it's rare that someone has the potential to make us laugh the whole time look we all have that's what I'm saying everything you say even if you're not trying to be funny I think you just follow up with like a funny you know well I am I'm so fearful of no that's not true what if not be like I'm not being like you're not being fun I'm fearful of not being liked I'm not the biggest fears well I think honestly big mouth did spend so much time talking through fear and anxiety I think when I so we're making with this going back to when you kill yourself you're searching your old self like whoever this kid was and it took us till the end of season three to have my Nick star come into contact with Nick Birch to like find some resolution and to like try to kill like but I would say this the thing is you can't kill that person you can't kill that shadow because if you you kill it you don't it'll just find another way to come up so you have to figure out how to come to piece and embrace that person or that thing who you were who you don't doesn't feel like true to who you are anymore because we carry all that shit you carry all of your anxiety and your depression and all of those things with you wherever you go do you struggle with anxiety like as an adult man not no not really as like the dark come no you don't have that energy at all I don't I don't really I think I'm not really don't tell my family no but I I exist but it's a difference between me and my partner which is like I exist in a pretty actually like I'm a I can be like a boyant I don't go super high don't go super low yeah I live in a in a portal I live in a pretty I modulate to play somewhere in the middle most of the time you don't even go to the angry parts you don't even I will I do now both healthy and not healthy like as you have a family like you I've you know like new anger has showed up in me that I didn't know was there yeah I talked to me about the anger I think it's like I have a son who looks so much like me who I can't in actuality when I think about myself in my past I can't entirely separate the picture or like when I'm out yeah of who he is and who I was and some way away so as he learns how to navigate the world I can get angry with him and I'm realizing on some of them just getting angry with my self right is it like the expectation or the expectation of how one moves through the world he's just being he's just being like a fucking four-year-old kid but I'm still like I feel like that's I imagine like if I was to have a daughter that I would have I think when it's like a son or a daughter and you are whatever you are you you you project some sort of like expectation or I think you can be gendered and it's probably more specifically gendered in that way but I also think it when you have children you do just like and they're representing what you think they're representing who you are but they're all the four so they can't yes they don't fucking know man I literally yeah I mean in a fun way not a fun way but like like my like we open the oven today and like a pair of my prescription sunglasses I've cooked in there that's that's that's that's the right way to do that on that I'm like no Nick put them in there blamed him yeah yeah I made my you do a lot of voices with him to like play like when you play what's it called playing no no what is it called when you interact with a child in a lighthearted manner yeah like when I when I'm hanging with while I do voices really when I'm like making up scenarios together yeah yeah all the time yeah playing make me my kid I do think like y'all pass on I am like he he engages in the world I think in like a can he do the voices too he's - He can do, he can start to do voices. - Have you ever done one of the voices while you're like having sex? - I mean, huh, maybe sometimes the word one must. - You know what I mean? - Yeah. - But you're not being a harmonizer. You're just getting a little gritty as-- - Sure, sure, sure. - You're having fun. - I'm having fun. - No, you're having fun. - Are you fully clothed? - Always when I have sex. - Yeah. (laughing) - I'm always fully clothed. It's, I'm modern orthodox. (laughing) That's what modern orthodox Jewish is like. - He was saying I thought, maybe he, you know, it's, yeah, I mean, I will, like, I have like the wrong time before to do the voices. - Whenever I, as soon as I finish having sex, I, whether my partner is done or not. No, if we, if I have sex and like we're, you know, uh, you know, lying post-colonial. - But fully clothed. - Yeah, fully clothed. - Yeah. - Fully clothed in a complete suit. (sighs) You know, there's no camera on the ceiling for this podcast. Where's the closest one I have? - I'm right. Well, actually, yeah, that's got you. - We're like, lying there post-colon right there. - The four of us have all just absolutely made love. (laughing) Would you ever like do that on the podcast? Have four people make love to each other? Fuck each other during the podcast? - I'm sure there's a podcast. - I don't think this is a podcast. - Wait, so what did you say you said? - Yeah, this is an experience. - I know. - You did nothing. - That was amazing. (laughing) - Yeah. - No. - Role playing though, you have a big thing to hear from. Favorite. - Yes. - But do you do that? - I'm saying. - Yeah, exactly. - You're not like engaging and like-- - No, well, that is an example of being on. Like, I don't do my voices really for like my, I think my wife would love for me to do a little more, like joking around and being a little more funny. - Exactly. - Because we do just turn known in life and life. - What do you think she wants more of an sex? - She wants more, I can't do Benny's voice, but that's-- - You can't do my voice. - I know you can do his voice. - I can't do your voice. - I have the easiest voice to do. - My voice is almost like yours. - That's pretty good. - With any amount of effort, you would be able to figure him out. - Yeah, I have like the easiest voice to do. - No, you don't have an easy voice, but he's just a God. - Oh, but no, but it is not a harder one for me to-- - You and Tyler, the creator, have like a very similar voice. - Oh, no. - Oh, interesting. - I get it all here. - I heard it right when you said that. - Yeah, what? - Yeah, he's like-- - Oh, sure, sure. - It's just like a little bit more like this. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - He just talks like this. - Yeah. - Could you do Kristen's voice right now? - Yeah. - Can I do your voice? - Can you do my voice? - You can't do a voice like that. - You want me to do a question? - Yeah, do it. - I used to piss myself in Michigan. - Was Big Mouth always gonna be in your head animated? Or did you want it to be live action? - I want to live action kids jerking off. No, it was built always to be animated. It was always built to be animated. So that we can tell more nuance, deeper stories about puberty, sexual development, adolescents, because it's animated, so you're not kids and it's adults voicing the kids. So you can get away with more and really dig in on a level that would be hard in a live action to really. But then yeah, Penn 15 does an amazing job of it. But there, you kind of always know that those girls, those women are adults playing those girls. So like, it's a version of it, but it's so incredibly well done. - You would be against kids jerking off. - No. - I mean, I don't know what I would be, but like, this is what's fucking happening. Kids are jerking off, you know what I mean? So like to not acknowledge it is. - No, me and Dave, do you know me and Dave? - You know, I used to actually get together to watch. Do you remember that? - Yeah. - The first few seasons of The Big Mouths. - That's not what I thought you were going to say. - We used to get together and blow it. No, we used to get together to watch Big Mouth. - Thank you. - And I, like, I really like-- - I hope that's the last really good thing I do. (laughing) - I hope it's, I saw, but I would have, I do feel like when it ended, I was like, there was a part of me that's like, I don't know if I'll ever get to do something that worked like this again, and that, and if that is it, if that's like the most culturally thing I do than like, then I'm so proud that I made it. - It's a championship ring. - You thank you. - I saw a part of the thing, I was sorry. - Do you just feel like you said the bar so high? So now it's just like to even accomplish that again is too. - Well, I think we got lucky being on Netflix. We were like the 33rd or 34th show on Netflix. And so we were so early, and there was no other streaming services. So when we got to make it, we got to, one, they were letting us do whatever we wanted. And also there wasn't a lot of stuff on. So like, if a show like that came out, you guys knew about it, and you could all watch it, and I'll talk about it. That is now, we premiered in like 2017 or 2018, but so like, so it's different. So like the ability to have that impact musically, you can happen. - It's still harder. - It's way easier in 2018 musically. - It may musically way easier. And so like there, it might have been like, as you guys know, and all the stuff we make, like it's harder to get that attention. So there's a world where that- - Never come to me. - I mean, I'm in the experience of- - That gets a new shirt. - I know, it's really, it's inching up. Well, I wore like, I wasn't, again, this is like what happens when you have children, is like normally, I would have like come to do this, and it would have, like I would have been able to really like- - Pick out a cool app. - Think about what I was gonna wear and do it like right. Like, no exactly. - Okay. - No, I feel ultimately like, I'm, I'm look like a million bucks. - Yeah. - But it's, you know what I mean? - No, I think you're, I think your coat's cool. - The coat is cool, but it's like, but I didn't have time to really like think, like I would have, I would have spent more time on the like- - Gaming it out. - What would you have changed? - I would have changed the t-shirt. - Oh really? - I changed the t-shirt to a little, I can go out. - You care about fashion, huh? - I care, yeah, I care about, I do care about fashion, I care very much about fashion. I've just had it, this is my camera. - Yeah. - I care very much about fashion. I went to a fashion show. I went to, my wife got invited to go to the Hermes show. - Wow. - And I, we went this year for the first in my own time. - What was it like? - It was so cool. - I don't have to wear a Hermes to the show. - They lent me stuff to wear. - You just sit there, the people are walking there, I was like right across from Anna Winter. - Really cool, right? - What's cool about it? - Front. - That is like, you like seeing the people wear clothing and walk around. - It was fascinating to watch, being, we went to the factory and we got to like, what, look at the bags being made and that, Hermes is like, I mean, that's the thing. It's like, Hermes is like. - $40,000, $50,000. - And yeah, and they're making their bags by hand one at a time. It was really interesting to see the vocation of it. Like, actually watch these, these like, people craft these like, beautiful things. - Yeah. - They show the next day, because I've never been to it. This is a new kind of a show. It's like, when you go like, you're just like, oh, this is how, you know, so like, it's like, you know, there's sand on the floor and the colors and like, what they've decided the lighting is and like the music and then these models come out and they're very serious. These models were very serious about what they were doing. - Yeah, they should be. - They were told to be very serious. - Yeah, there's like themes and there's like a whole creative, you, it's, and but also like, it was like 15 minutes and it's over and you're like, whoa, this is what, this is, do you got it, you've been to shows, right? - I've been, I find it to me, but I think-- - Insane, I was like, so crazy. - I was like, going to Hermes was like, it's so specific and kind of like, a little like, not a-- - You get anything, they give you anything for free? - They don't give nothing, nobody. (upbeat music) - Check, do you like summer camp? - Yeah, favorite part of life. - It was one of my favorite times in my entire life and I just reconnected with a few of our friends that I hadn't connected with. Meeting up and renting a home on Airbnb and just like doing a whole color wars thing and having like the best time. - Airbnb is something that I haven't really spoken about. How Airbnb connected us, early on in our relationship. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, if you hadn't booked that home on Airbnb's platform that day, you wouldn't have given me that ride home. We wouldn't have connected maybe at the length. I think we would have connected anyways, but-- - No, it was a gift, it was a gift Airbnb connected us because I got, to give you the ride home and I got to spend time with him. I do and I got to know you. - We respected it. - We love you Airbnb. - We love you Airbnb and we love you. (upbeat music) - KFC Box Feast. - Why don't we each pick one and-- (upbeat music) - Ah, I'm going 11. - And I'm going nuggets. - Oh my God. You know this is only $7? - No, this is only nine. - This one, 11. Look at this. Can you see how thick this sandwich is? Look at this sandwich. - Why do you think KFC is giving away chicken for free? - Oh my God, not for free, but for cheaply. - Something happened with the kernel. But I think it might be on purpose out of the goodness of his heart. - You know that my family gave the kernel his first job in America. - What? - Who did? - I'm making it up, I don't know the kernel. - Time to feast, prices and participation may vary. Tax, tip, and extra fees. - No, and fees, extra. - Tax, tip, and fees, extra. - As a man who's been the guy in charge of the whole production versus a guy who's gun for hire coming out there. - Yeah, sounds like a little business question. - Yeah, yeah. - Sure. - Why else are we here? - Like, do you get anxiety about kind of not having the control or is it like liberating? - I kind of liberate it. - Yeah. - I think it's, yes. I love going to do someone else's thing until I think it's being poorly produced, and then I become, I at least inwardly. - Yeah, was that phone? - I've said or I make my judgements. And I learn from them as to how I, [BLANK_AUDIO] And it is my turn again how to do it in a way that I think is better or learn how to do it better based on something going well. So when it goes well and it's a delight, it's like to release control is wonderful. How do you do with it? I've never done it. You never done it. I think I can do it. Are you going to do something where it's not your, where you just get to be in it? Yeah. If somebody asked me to be in something, I'm not sure. I could ask it. I turned on everything. But yeah, I turned on everything, but I wouldn't turn down like Paul Thomas Anderson coming to me. Yeah. But yeah, I would, but I don't know. A part of me thinks it would be the most liberating thing and the other part of me thinks I be in hell. It just depends on whose thing it is and what it is and how it's working. So like, you know what I mean? Like it all just depends on like, if you have PTA or any of those people. But if you came to me and he said, hey, you're going to play a New Zealander, like, sure. I'd have become this totally different character. I'd be a little bit. You would do it. I'd look myself in the mirror and I'd have to practice for a few days before even remotely responding to you. Oh, interesting. Exactly. I don't think you'd have to turn it down. Do you guys get like really short and tough with each other when you're working? Oh, yes. Yes. But there's no beef at all. But yeah, oh, we talked to each other like trash when we were working. You think I'm like so over the top in caring because I care about details. So you'll bicker with each other, but inside of that you're never worried about the state of your friendship. There was only one spat that, like, it felt like of a different level. They did? I remember just one. I remember tonight. This is what it was. This is what it was. No, and then I'm going to tell you that time. It was in New York City and we were like working at like 8 p.m. I don't understand this one. And I was like complaining about, like, you know, I just wanted to turn over more stones. I don't even know. Let's say it's a high hat or something. And he basically was, and I was just like, I basically had enough and I was just like, you know, I don't think it's unreasonable for me to care to the point where like I'm like going to be selective about the thing and this thing that matters so much to me. And then you were, you said something like, do you know how rare it is for me to even be working at this hour? And then in my mind, I thought it's 8 o'clock at night. But then I also think there probably is what I do take for granted with him is that he is like the LeBron James of music producing. I can't possibly see him that way. No, I know he is statistically analytically like when I met him, like the first conversation was like, I don't see the value you could possibly bring to the table. And like then we became best friends and like I see him totally as like my Jewish best friend that I grew up with, even though I didn't. And but then I, and then even though I wanted to be like inside, like, get a grip. It's 8 p.m. Like sure. I know there's probably he's kind of graduated to the point where there probably is truth where he no longer works evenings. Do you not, do you work during the day? I, because I always thought music guys like worked all night. It was later than 8 p.m. Yeah. It was earlier than midnight. It was something like 9/30. That's right. And it was, and it was like, and I try not to work, like I try to have work-life balance. I thought he was talking about the only time we ever got in a real fight was we had just gotten back from Coachella. And he was about to leave and he was so tired. He was the most tired. He's ever been. And he was getting out, he was getting out of my car and he was grabbing stuff and I got behind him and I like made a joke and like humped him.

He doesn't have experience of jealousy with me. And it's pure, it's pure love and love. I'd like to hear all about it. Okay. Okay, great. So that's my question for you. Yeah. More like a business opportunity. Well, I assume that it's not a bit, I mean, it's a business proposition. It's not a proposition.

I created an email thread, subject line porn. And any time I bump into a porn that stands out to me is, you know, you send it to yourself. Yeah. So I have this kind of, what I will do typically is I will go on pornHub.com. I will analyze the first page because there's nothing better than a new thing to add to my thread. Sure. But then I won't waste all the time because this thread is like, it's so vast and it's got so much stuff. And even if I know that I've jerked off to this one like two nights ago, I know that the related videos will still take me down like a more efficient path. Sure. The answer is to what? I usually jerk off to like high res porn with like tasteful, like I like to look like a. What's the best thing I ever did for you? Nubile.
