Welcome back to Whiskey Ginger, a wave series, hey, hey, Whiskey Ginger fans, I'm running around a little bit. Bobby Lee and I, March 14th, are doing the Thunder Valley Casino out there in Sacramento, Lincoln, California, but it's outside of Sacramento up there. Then I do the win in Las Vegas on March 21st, the 27th. I'm jetting off to Providence, Rhode Island to do a little rowdy fest. Then April 3rd, I do the makeup date at the Borgada and Atlantic City, New Jersey. Finally, Bad Friends does one more show, I think, until later in the year. Bad Friends plays Netflix as a joke at the YouTube theater. And go get those tickets at AndrewSantino.com, those tickets once again are at AndrewSantino.com. In here, we pour Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey. Oh, that creature in the ginger field. Sturdy, ginger. Like bad guys, the ginger gene is good. Ginger is a fugitive, you only five dollars for the whiskey, 75 dollars for the whole. Ginger's our hell now. This whiskey is excellent. Ginger, I like ginger. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Whiskey Ginger. My guest today is one of my favorite people in the earth. I said that for all my guests, but I mean it once again today. It is internet phenomenon, sex, icon, comedy, megalodon, Todd Berry. I don't even know what a megalodon is. Me neither, but I just, it was rhyming. You know, as a freestyle rapper, I just have to find the words that come to me. And you were a freestyler in Brooklyn when you were a kid for four or five years. You were a freestyler? Wasn't you a freestyler? Oh, yeah, I mean, that's how I paid for my college. Where'd you go to? University, Florida. Oh, I thought you went to an HBCU. I don't know why. What is an HBCU? A historically black college or university? Oh, no, I didn't. I've never heard of HBCU. I probably have, but on the spot I just blanked. Yeah. Okay. So like Howard University? Howard Brown. Give me all the HBCUs. Let's shout them all out on the show. I don't know. Brown is one, is it? It should be based on the name. Alabama State University, Morehouse College. Morehouse. Tuskegee. Tuskegee, Howard. Tuskegee Howard. Clark Atlanta University. Sneak Brown in there. So fun. Nope. All right. HBCU. Yeah. Put that in the edit. I'd like to start out correcting. Todd Berry, a phenomenal comedian, a great man, you've captivated the world on the internet with your. Have I? I think people love you on the internet. Don't they? I mean, and what. They love me and they hate me, I guess. Yeah. I think most people love you. I've yet to find someone that doesn't like you. Oh, wow. Because of that statement, they'll start pouring in. Right. Right. You're welcome. I met him after a show and it was me. No. Do you meet the fans after the shows? Generally I do. Do you do meet and greet? Or do you just say. I don't do a VIP. Yeah. Extra meet and greet. Yeah. I don't have the type of venues I play, generally, it would be a little weird if like. Yeah. All right. There's 200 people here and 20 of you can see me and say hi to me. I don't say hi to anyone who wants to like say hi to me. Yeah, you do. That's nice. And after the shows, though, are you not a little exhausted? You've clearly never seen me do stand-up, but I have plenty of energy left. I'm not exhausted, but I mean, I just feel. I don't want to like hide backstage. See, I like to sit backstage and then I kind of go over what went wrong. Really? Immediately? I'll sit there. Yeah. I'll just sit there right after I get off. I need to take like 10 minutes just to just recalibrate, I guess. Do you record every show? I record audio every show. Yes, I do. I don't. I don't do. A lot of guys do video. Sometimes the clubs will take the video. Like, I just did Tempe improv. They sent me. The kid was like, "Hey, man, we record every show." I was like, "Great. I'm on my phone too." And he's like, "No, we videoed." I was like, "No." Yeah, that's clubs that do that. That's kind of great. There are some clubs I think that charge you for. It's like, "Come on, man." To pay for the video? Yeah, maybe they do it to the younger comics, which is even worse. That's so mean. Well, and they're also. Yeah, they're already screwing over the younger comics, giving them, you know, how much money do they get paid now to host or feature $14 a set or something, or so. It's really disgusting. I don't have that money's gone up since I started in the late '80s. Late '80s. Late '80s. Late '80s though. '89. '87. '87. '87? Yeah. Wow. Where was your first spot in '87? I don't remember. No, it's. I just celebrated my 38th anniversary in comedy. Congratulations. Yeah. The first place was Coconut's Comedy Club, North Miami Beach, inside a Howard Johnson's hotel, which I don't think those exist anymore, but. No. No, unfortunately. The fall was an open mic night. They used to do the open mic night. This was comedy boom time. Yeah. So, Tuesday was packed, or, you know, had a hundred dollars. Sold out on a Tuesday. Or 90 people or a hundred percent. You like a real audience. Yeah. And they would have it like the open mic segment and then the headliner and the middle and the headliner. So, it's like part of the regular show one day of the week. Wow. So, I played to real audience. I didn't play to like six comics waiting to go on. Right. You played to real human beings. Real human beings. So, you had a good. That's a good. But, do you started down there? Yeah. Wow. Oh, no. You're you from down there? I lived down there for like 15-ish years. I was born in the Bronx. And then, why'd you move down there, Mom? Dad? My dad's whole company relocated. It's BlackRock, right? Aren't you a BlackRock kid? Halliburton. Oh, yeah. I knew it was one of the two. And now, you're. Everyone does know about Todd Todd's a heavy investor in the marketplace as well, a stock god as we call him in the comedy world. I have a Ponzi scheme going if you're interested. You do? I'd love to get in on that. Just give me five grand in all. I'll do it right now. I'll watch. I'll take good care of your five grand. I thank you. I'll give you some cash. I think it's. People. Like, I started in Los Angeles and then people are like, that's crazy. Almost nobody starts here. Usually people go somewhere and then they go to New York or they go to. Right. LA, but I started here because I figured I might as well drown. I was like, I'd rather just drown. I didn't want to be too comfortable back home. How do you pop in the city when you started? I'm working on it. No, you're doing fun. Oh, I think. Because you're guest. Yeah, I was just going to say. Speaks for itself. I think you. Here was tough. I mean, I guess maybe it was a time too, where I moved here in '06 and like the store was pretty dead when I moved here. Yeah, arguably. It was, you know, that's subjective, but it was like, you know, there was a lot of light nights. I mean, Friday's Saturdays were good, but especially because I was doing, you know, friends and family and open mic and stuff like that at the store. But it was all. It was just all comics and that's. It was friends and family, a bringer show. Friends and family was. So, it's such a weird, the bureaucracy of the system of getting past. It was like, you would sign up for the mic and if you were good enough or you had a plug in to the system, to either like Mitsy or Tommy, who was, you know, the manager at the time, they would put you on a friends and family, meaning like you go at the end of the mic. You get. Maybe it was. I don't know if it was the exact same time when we got an extra minute or two, but you'd go at the end, meaning like we're thinking about considering letting them showcase. Wow. It was a. It was just a system to filter out, you know, it wasn't even a filter out who sucks. It was a filter out like how much you actually gave a shit. It's like a test, see how much. Yeah, you're going to keep coming back and you're going to try to get friends and family and then after that, you're going to try to get a showcase. So when you get friends and family today, someone call you over and say, "Hey, I got good news for you, Andrew." I mean, yeah. Welcome to friends and family. Yeah, kind of. It's mafia. It was like a mafia. It was like, "We decided that you're good enough to be friends and/or family." Um, I actually somehow got past without ever auditioning. Well, you're. I mean, is that because of whatever level I might be perceived? Yeah, because you're well respected and you're achieved. Because I used to hear all these stories about like famous comics that they made, you know, I can't think of one, but Seinfeld never got past. Really? She didn't pass him. Mitzie never passed him. Wow. Isn't that cool? Did you audition for her? No, well, she was quite sick by the time I started coming around and so then I auditioned for Tommy, was the guy who used to be there. He was the guy that passed me. He was kind of like the, EGIT was at Adam EGIT was after him, who I'm sure you know. Yeah, yeah. EGIT was right after him. But the eye audition for him, audition, it was, it sucks, man. It was so hard. Because you go at the end of a, or sometimes they put you in the, in like the sweet spot of like a good show. Uh-huh. So you've got phenomenal headliners just beating up the room and then you've got to go up there and just tank shit. Right. And you have like five minutes to get your rhythm going. And then you're done. And you've only got two or three good minutes of like really good stuff. And then you're like these two jokes are going to kill and then everything else was, yeah, I moved to New York too soon, I think, after, like after a year of doing comedy in Florida. That's, you went to New York and after you, I always wanted, I knew I want to live back in New York, but, uh, I didn't, you know, you think you're better than you are a little bit. I mean, when you're young, yeah, you do. Yeah, you know, I go in there and catch rises and I go, I can do with these guys doing the 28 minutes and then, right. I could on some level do it, but also I probably should have toured the country at least once or twice and then showed up. Not a bunch of deep rooms. Deep rooms. Yeah. Did you do a bunch of those deep rooms at any point, like the rooms that were not really rooms? Did you ever have a look? line of room that was like, it's like a hall or something. - We mean on the road or something? - Yeah, where they just pool it together. - Oh yeah, I mean, back in Florida, there was also, I mean, I guess they would be, there was this condo, there were one, you could work in Florida for two months. - Just touring around? - Yeah, 'cause there's always, there's a place, the guy would go into a restaurant bar and go, "Hey, what do you do on Wednesdays?" We were kind of dead. I could produce comedy show here. - Yeah. - And then they get a mic. - Right, right. - But those were good sometimes. - Sometimes there were, you know, there was no Tories bad ones and get the word gets around. - Yeah, yeah. But I kind of always went on almost anywhere. - You didn't care. - I cared, I just thought it was the right thing to do. - Right. - Now, you're picky. - Now it's like, I don't go on anywhere. That's so picky. (laughing) That's how good I am. You literally can't see me live anywhere. - Well, you don't need to tour anymore. I mean, you, you, you, I mean, people that know, I mean, I don't know if anybody reads the news, but Todd is the one that refurbished the Chrysler building in New York that just reopened now with 15 apartments. That's you. - Is that true? - That is true. - 15 apartments? - I think that's what they said. You can look it up. It's a 13 or 15 like brand new. And they're a reasonably price. I think they're only like 30 or 40 million dollars a day. - That's pretty good. - Or something like that. - I've always thought they should have, I wonder why they don't have apartments in the Empire State Building. - Mm, I mean, you know, just in case King Kong wants to climb it again, I feel like it's only about the Empire State Building. - No, I also know Empire, the carpet company. - Five, eight, eight. - Am I wrong to think you were moving to New York? - I would have loved to do it. I think life changed a little bit for me. I thought I had a few things change in life and I needed to stay here. - Oh yeah. - I needed to stay here. The podcast kind of grew out of my, like Bobby and I show grew to a degree that was bigger than I thought that it was gonna be. So in the pandemic, I was like, I'm ready to go move to New York. And the show blew up kind of without, I genuinely, we started that show because we were like, hey, the audiences liked us together. We had a ton of fun. And it literally was the very beginning of COVID. And I was like, this probably was not gonna last. You know, he's, I feel like I talked to you in New York about you moving. - Yeah, yeah, I wanted to really, really bad. I pushed for it and then that show got big and I was like, I can't bounce back and forth. Like that became my priority. And he won't go anywhere. He barely leaves his house. - It's almost nine. - He was at the store. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's all he goes. He literally should have a zip line from his house over the hill to the store. How many apartments in the Chrysler building did it say? He's not doing his job. What are you looking up? - You had one job. - You had one job. - You had one job. What is it say? - There was an article that says Manhattan, iconic Chrysler building is on the market. But. - Todd bought it. See, that's old news. - I bought that. - This old news is from May 30th, but it doesn't. - Yeah, I just saw a thing that popped up. - All cash deals on it. - It's just listing off like how many bricks and rivets and tons of steel. - Well, we'd love to know how many bricks and rivets and tons of steel. - How many bricks? - How many bricks are in the Chrysler building? - I don't think of it as a bricky building, but I guess all buildings are brickish. - Of that age. - Yeah. - I'll give you a hint. It didn't the millions. - Yeah. Why'd you give us that hint, man? - I didn't want you to. I want to give you something. - 462, he didn't want that answer. - Yeah. - I was gonna say three bricks. - Just three beautiful bricks. - Three like right above the door. - Standard size bricks. - I'm gonna say six and a half million. - 20 million. - 3,826,000. - So we're both over, so we don't, we both, none of us get the showcase. - We, both of us cannot get a brick laying job anywhere. (laughing) - We blew it. - We blew it pretty bad. You'll never leave New York now though, forever, huh? - I mean, I come out here and it's kinda like, yeah, it's kinda nice. - You know how many New York guys tell you that to me? They'll be like, I gotta be honest. They're like, I hate Los Angeles, but man, is it nice when I come out here? - But then I also came in like the weirdest rainy season ever. I just assume it's always gonna be nice here and then I, you know, I shouldn't assume, I guess. (laughing) - You brought the rain? - I did brought, the rain is a big fan of mine. - It is. - You do, it feels like the cloud is right behind you, wherever you go. - Oh, that's, that's for other reasons. (laughing) Well, Peter, you're kind of an enigma. You're a little bit of a mystery. - Do you call me, huh? Did you call me Petey and Enigma? - No, I heard the Enigma, but I thought you said Enigma. - I said you're kind of an enigma. - Okay. - See, it's stuff like that. That doesn't make any sense. Petey, where did you drive? - I don't know, man, why did you call me that? - I'm sorry, Pete. I thought you were Pete Davidson this whole time. Imagine we do this whole show, and I'm like, thanks for my guest, Pete Davidson. - Pete Davidson. (laughing) - You're enigma, because nobody knows. I mean, I guess we shouldn't reveal it. It's none of your fans business, but your father are 13 kids, and by six different women, which is fascinating. - Yeah, 13 different states. - Right, that's pretty cool. - Yeah, man. - Can you name the states, and when they-- - I can't name the kids, or the states. (laughing) - That's so fucking bad ass I am. - Yeah, you're a pretty hardcore. That is your repertoire in the game. You're just on the road having babies. You have a special out now. - Yeah, it's been out a bit, but maybe I could just pretend it just came out. - Let's do the pretend. - You have a special on YouTube, called Domestic Short Hair, filmed in Chicago. - Let me guess. - Den? - Yes. - Got it. - One gas theater, one for one. - Mic drop. - A lot of people like the den. - It's really good. I've never played it. A lot of people have said when I go back to Chicago, 'cause that's where I'm from, but you should play it, but I never got a chance to play it. I feel like I've played, and there's a million things to play while you're there. - Yeah, that Chicago does have a lot of venues, but you probably play a place that's bigger than that, right? - I mean, it depends, right? Right now, I'm doing clubs again. I'm doing clubs for the next, for the foreseeable future, 'cause I put out an hour, so now I'm building an hour, so I'll do a bunch of clubs until I feel like maybe I want to do a theater, but I do play the Chicago theater, that's my favorite. - I open for Ricky Gervais there. - It's really? - Yeah, it's a nice place. - He's the British guy. - Yeah, I like him from England, I think. - Yeah, England, yeah. How do you feel about British people as a whole? - I like him. All of them? - Well, I'm sure I can name one or two that are bad if I do it. I don't have any off the tip of my tongue, but I mean, I'd have to, if I lived in the UK for two straight years, I'd probably come up with three people, you know what I mean. - You're a big Churchill fan, though. - Have you done comedy there? - We did for the first time. - I did, we played Bobby and I did a bad friend's show there, and we toured and we played Ovo Wembley, Wembley Arena, but indoors. The outdoor arena was being occupied by Oasis, that's why we couldn't get it, get to it. - Yeah. - And we just competing acts. - Can we have that room, can we have that room that Oasis is playing? (laughing) - Yeah, Oasis, yeah, can you have them? - We played their dressing room, is what we played. - How big was the place you played? - 12? I don't know, how was it? - About 10,000? - 10,000 people? - 10,000 people? - I know, I know, I know. - It's pretty crazy. - We nervous? - No. - Really? - No, because it's, it's, I don't know. - Oh, 'cause they're super fans. - Well, yeah, but also like I had opened for other people in arenas before, and so once you get over arenas nerves, you're like, this is fine, this is like field house size or whatever, it's a shitload of people, but arenas were more daunting. Like the first arena I did, I was like, this is fucking daunting, it's insane, right? Yeah, very daunting. Like I've done three or four with Shane, with Gillis, and then before that, Rogan, I opened for him in a couple of big theaters and field house, and arenas, and that was, that's a wild, it's insane. It's a little, I'm not, I'm much better in a tighter room. Also, the round is not my favorite. - No. - I like a stage facing the humans. I don't wanna, I'm thinking about looking the other way a lot, and I'm like, should I turn around? - Do you know the secret to theater in the round is playing your back towards like the far end? I don't, I would need to do this fish, like you have your round stage. - Yeah. - You're over here and you're playing all these people, and then you mix it up, you walk to the other side and play it all these people. - Yeah, does that make sense? - No. - Okay. - Well, I'm sure you did fine. - I did okay, yeah, I was fine. - I just wanted to seem like I really knew some shit. - Yeah, it did sound like you sold me for a beat, and then I thought, now this guy doesn't, he's selling winged things. You, you, you did the dem theater. How many shows did you film? - Two. - And did you use only one or did you mix? - I mixed. - Yeah, isn't that a fun secret? A lot of people think it's just one thing. - Oh really? - I think audiences are keen to it now, but for years, not like it was a secret, but like some, I guess a lot of comics didn't want to say that they would mix. They'd be like, no, we use to, we film one show. - One of the worst experiences of my life is editing a special. - Oh my God, it's so easy. - Watching yourself? - Yeah, it's brutal. - I'll repulsive. - Yeah. - I hate it more than anything. I mean, this is the first time in this last special I did. I gave it to our editor, Kelly, who's incredible, and I was like, she's like, do you want to walk through it? Like, can you just really do the thing? - I wish I had someone who could, I mean, they probably could, I don't know. - She's brilliant. - I know they would think, I wouldn't just, I couldn't trust anyone to do it. - She made me marginally funny, and I was like, this is really good. She made you marginally. - Well, 'cause it was, you know, I don't think I would. - So it's like a 10-minute special. - I think it's like 12 and a half or 13, just under, yeah, just under 15. - That's nice, can you film yours? - I film mine in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minnesota, with the Pantages Theater. - Okay, that's pretty big, right? - Yeah, maybe like 2000? I don't really know, yeah, 2000, something like that. And I think we cut it down to like 1,600 to show, or something like that, something like that. It was good, but I did a bunch of shows. I also did it on the weekend that Shane Gillis played the basketball arena, and Kevin Hart played a field house. So good job by my agents, I always say that. Great job, guys, they're really putting in the effort. It's not that hard, guys, to find. the routing. But you all, you have different fan bases, isn't it, right? Kevin Hart and I have the exact same fan base. No, Gillis and I have a lot of overlap. I would argue like he, there's, if there's people that are going to see me or Shane Gillis, they're probably going to see Shane Gillis. But I mean, if they're like Shane sold out, I'll just go see this idiot. If I were in that situation, I'd, I would pay any price to see Shane over you. Yeah. Me too. Me too. And I do. I would like $3,000 cash. Who's got a ticket? This was for one ticket anywhere in the area. I have people come just for my opening act and leave when I came on, you know, there was your opening, um, sack Townsend. Do you know who that is? Country music, sir. Yeah. Is he really? Yeah, and he just transitioned. Yeah, he was doing rap. He, he did the reverse post Malone. He started with rap and now he's doing country. He's kind of like Kid Rock. You should have Kid Rock just canceled the shows in New York City, man. What happened? Because we have a social. Is that city too gay for him? I'm not playing gay New York. Is that really what's already like 10 TikTok videos I've seen. We're like, and they had to refund 12 ticket holders. I mean, that was funny. The first person to do. Yeah. No, no, that's for you to feel just just. Yeah. Of course. It's a game changer. Glass water, water in a bottle. You know, you know who loved mountain valley water? Who? Elvis Presley. Really? That was one of the only things we learned in his rider was bottles. He wanted a box of mountain valley water, glass bottled water. He loved it. I think it does taste different, right? It's pretty good. Yeah. Glass waters, for some reason, it just tastes so much better. Um, I heard a thing about Elvis Presley that you know the way they always said Elvis is left the building. Yeah. I heard they used to say that regardless of whether he'd left the building. Like he was just telling the bill, Elvis was left the building. But they wink and you can hear the Elvis winking at Elvis. Yeah. No one knows. You're fine. Yeah. We went to Grace. Have you ever been to Graceland? I did. And it was kind of say, no, not a bad thing. But I was surprised how small the house was. It's a very big house by my standard. For a guy that was still, it was manageable. Yeah. I could easily buy it and live there without having to worry about getting too many like sofas and beds and stuff. Well, it's already got all the furniture there. Yeah. And you can't go upstairs. They didn't let you upstairs. We weren't allowed. Right? Didn't you go with me on that trip? No, we weren't allowed to go upstairs. It was something like that was the only, because I was his master bedroom. That was the only restricted area. And the only reason anyone's ever been in that room since his death was, uh, they had a roof leak. And they, they had like special admissions for a contractor to go look, but it was very like, this only this one man can go in and look. And then he has to come out and assess it. And then they had to, I wonder what that is. I think probably the Presley estate didn't want humans rummaging through the place that he died. Uh, they wanted to keep it kind of like a sacred place. Okay. Which we're planning for you as well. What's that? We're marking off the places we think you're going to die. We want to hold them a sacred. Please, dude. Let me know when that's going to happen. I'm drooling thinking about it. Well, you're in my death pool. You know, we have a death pool. No. Yeah. You're in mine. Yeah. Am I really? Yeah. You're in mine. But no, no, it's, no, no. We pick them. We picked the horses way before. You want to pick them when they're new. You know, so you're a young horse, but I've got you. Well, on that note, do you know what happened to me last time I was in Los Angeles? Huh. I was walking in Silver Lake, walking down a hill. And my feet started walking by themselves a little bit and then started running by themselves. Five broken ribs. Seriously? Yeah. Well, you felt, you felt face first. I wiped out. Yeah. Just on a walk on a brisk walk. But it was a steep hill. It was steep for me for this old man. But, uh, yeah, it was in the hospitals and the five broken ribs. Six nights in the hospital. Wow. Yeah. You're not an old man. No, I'm 25. Yeah. We said 35 when we started. I said 35. Yeah. If I'm gonna, you just, but you just spilled on a walk, huh? Yeah. Good God. Yeah. So now you don't visit Silver Lake any longer. Do you? I thought of getting the same Airbnb, which it wasn't available. But then I was like, man, that would be kind of revisiting a trauma. Yeah. I mean, I was six nights at the hospital, man. Six nights. Six nights. That's fucking, is that one night per rib and then Hollywood Presbyterian, which I think is not maybe the best hospital? Is it not? I don't know. It's a bad hospital. That's the one where I brought Carlos. Oh, it's a bad hospital. Yeah. It's bad. You got to go. Well, I mean, did they help you? They, they took care. But it was just very like, you know, one, it was, I was sharing a room. There was no proper hurt or anything. There's just like a sheet. Yeah. So if that guy's snoring yelling, it's this one guy next to me had like his, he's had some, um, I don't know what you call him attached to his arm. And every time he rolled over the, it would start beeping, uh, and think. And then I'd have to go, you know, I can't sleep. It's already shady to be here. But now I can't sleep. And, uh, yeah. What did they do for broken ribs? Anyway, I thought they don't really do anything to the heel on their own. Yeah, I guess they were watching me or worried about my lung. But I don't know because afterwards, like, why was I there for six, fucking nights? Yeah, what? I mean, maybe just to manage the pain with some morphine and stuff or increase your hospital bill. They just wanted to. Hey, I don't believe that. Yeah. How you're right. Way cynical. Well, let's, did you get a bit out of it? I did get a little bit of a bit. Yeah, so it's worth it. It was worth six nights in hospital for 40 new seconds in my act. The fall must have been bad. Was it embarrassing? Or just more frightening, frightening. But because people, there were some people outside and like three different sets of people came over. And this woman was like, I'm calling urgent care. I'm calling emergency rooms. And she took me to the emergency room. Didn't know at all. Oh, sweet. Yeah, it was very sweet. Did you connect with her again, ever? I did. I hooked her up with a little Dom's gift card. A little Dom's is great. That's right. Did you ever go to the original to Dominix? No. One of my favorites, man. Google up Dominix, Los Angeles, historic place, shut down many, many moons ago. That was one of my favorite places to go to. What did I want to close? Dominix with a K. Dominix. Yeah, it was behind the hospital. That's the hospital should have gone to. What's that? Seeders. Yeah. That's what I want to say. Yeah, I should have gone to Seeders. Closed in 2015. 2015, down to 67 years. After 67 years. Did it say why I closed down? The rumor was that there were, so there was two owners and one of them opened little Dom's on the east side. And then the other one, the rumor I heard was wanted to open one in Ohai. And then they moved and they got in a little bit of, you know, as partners do, a tiff over who does what, wear what. And they just sold the place and then close it down. I just said they declined to state exactly why they closed the rest. So what I said was it's your job to get that answer. Yeah, it had been, it had been a fight, an in fight between the two owners. That was the room right hard. But I used to go there all the time. Anybody, if somebody came into town, that for me was a fancy place to take them because it wasn't, when did it go under 2015? Okay. But it wasn't like, because I can never afford like a fancy restaurant then. So that was nice enough, but it wasn't over price food. Right. Like it was like, my dad would go, wow, this is, this is pretty good. Yeah. Good. Look at solid. You're doing okay. Yeah, because we don't have that. New York has that in spades. You guys have, you know, it's a nice restaurant, but it's not over price, but the atmosphere is nice. Here, it's either like Chipotle or a fucking nightclub. Yeah. Everything here is, it's either like all of the pomp and circumstance or a regular run of the mill, grab your food and go. When you think about air one, I have never purchased, that isn't, I've never been there as a, I've walked in it to see it, but I've never like one and silver. No, there's one here in the valley. Yeah. But I'm not, I'm not interested, really. I think, I mean, they're kind of brilliant, because they like, their angle, it's our stuff is hilariously overpriced. Where you're like, I was like, it's like a bit, but they're so nice. Everyone there's so nice. Well, they should be. They're gonna make a hundred bucks an hour to work their employees. No, I don't fucking idea. But then no, they're still ripping them off. I'm sure the smoothies are $85. The employees are still getting, you know, minimum wage. Do you eat out of that? You could ask my wife. I do. Yes, too much. We don't, yeah, I don't, we don't have kids, so we don't cook. Right. She cooks sometimes. She cooks. Actually, I should give her credit. She does. But I'd rather just order it. I don't know. Yeah. I'm, I'm, what did it? I'm stimulating the economy. Oh, I know that's your motivation. Yeah. We'd love to roast a whole chicken and side orders and all that. Yeah, I like to stimulate the economy. In fact, I just, the hotel I stayed at in Tempe had a great restaurant. I earned Scottsdale and I went there every day for dinner because I was like, wow, why leave? It's great. Yeah, you can get a car and drive around and it's fucking Scottsdale. No, see, that's, and I think people don't get that when you're like on the road. You're like, I'd like to find a place where if I can get all the meals here, huh? This is great. I don't want to like dart around to try to find the best version of a not interested. Do you hang in the hotel or do you? When you're on the go, I'm a go-go. I'm a go-go. Yeah. I don't, I don't want to stay, like the hotels are sad enough. It's already not home. Yeah. So I like to go, I mean, I play golf. So I like to golf during the day if it's nice weather or go somewhere, try to meet up with someone right or the opener and I will go do something, like find anything to get into. Yeah, I'm the same way. I've never, like, understood, like why be on tour if you're not going to check out the city. Yeah, I mean, even if it seems like a boring city, you find the non-boring part. I've bored attempt to, but I find that a lot of even the boring cities, I find something kind of interesting because they're boring. You're like, this is kind of fun for this play. Yeah. Most boring city on tour is. I don't, I don't know that I have a, it's kind of a negative angle, but I don't know. I know. I'm setting you up for failure. I'm trying to think what's, well, I mean, I don't like Atlantic City. I wouldn't call it boring. I would call it, it's not, it's right. It's a little rough, but it's not, it's not a city. That's, you know what I mean? That's like, I don't know. theme park. You get in and you get out. I used to have trouble finding something to do in Cincinnati, but I think the last time I was there I found something to do, but I forgot what it was. What is it called? Skyline Chili? Is that what that is? Isn't that their famous for that? Yeah, isn't that what it is? Do you know Skyline Chili? Yeah, I've had that. Yeah. We have a version here, deep in the Valley and Burbank. It's called Chili John's. That's good. Yeah, Chili John's is really good. Yeah, that's kind of that's L.A.'s version of Skyline Chili. Is it still open? It is. Is it on spaghetti? Yeah, it's on piscetti. It is. Piscetti, as you say. I never had it so kids say. Piscetti. But it's good. Oh, it's the best. There was a place in thicker than Cincinnati Chili. It's gotta be. Yeah, it's gotta be. Cincinnati Chili is very like soup. It's like yeah. Yeah, and sweet. There was a place, look this up. There was a place by Marquette's campus in Milwaukee that I used to call chili and such, but that was not the name, but I just like to call it chili and such because it was chili and such. I mean, that was kind of like, but it's same thing. It was a bowl of pasta with chili. Real chili. Real chili. That's exactly right. I don't think I've ever had the pasta with the chili. Seriously? I think I just go straight chili. Oh, my brother. You got to get yourself some spaghetti with chili. It's, it, it looks repulsive and it's so delicious. Really? Aesthetically, it's a very ugly dish. It's like on, it looks like unflavored or seasoned noodles and chili just guffed on there with cheese and all the goods, man. Do you get how do you handle late night food? I mean, I try to not, if I can help it, unless I, but if I do eat something late after shows, I eat something that I know isn't gonna make me poop at 4.30, you know. I try to get something that I go, this can, this is good. This is fine. I'm not gonna have an upset stomach in the middle of the night. Right. What do you do? I mean, I've done a few mat lately. Like 4 p.m.s. 4. I did, I had to keep your schedule in Florida because of COVID and then it was a hurricane. And then all that was left when I was cheering around because you want to try doing a couple of side splitters in Tampa. I want to try doing a couple of matinee's here. Fucking great shows. Yeah. And 6.30, you're done. Nice, a real dinner. Yeah, I can go anywhere. Yeah, it's great. The matinee's are actually really good. Yeah, I mean, it sounds like, because like matinee's on Broadway are kind of like, they're a little, they can be a little rough sometimes. Just what like the energy and the crowd is very ill. Yeah, I hate low energy. That should be the name of your next special. I hate low energy. That is good. No, matinee's are tough unless you're audience. I mean, Bargazee does those. That's he, he like, he'll play three shows. He'll do like a four, six, and eight or something. I mean, that's, that, that's impressive to push out that kind of stuff. But matinee's daunting as a comic, because you're like, it's daylight. Yeah, but these, these ones in Tampa were great. They were, is he going to be a matinee guy? Mr. matinee. Hey, I'm Mr. 3 o'clock show. And a 5 o'clock if you really craze. But yeah, I'm stupid. What is the matinee? What's the, what's the etymology of matinee? What does that come from? The word matinee. I think we're going to find out. I'm on materially. Do you know? No. Yeah. See, and I like that. You don't know. It's a French word. And I guess it's on what it is. Matinee means, it's a French word that means before, before dinner. Go ahead. I'm supposed to guess. Yeah, that's half of the fun. Yeah. Okay. I don't, I never thought about it. Well, and I'm on the spa with all these cameras. Matinee. What was your guess? Before dinner. Something, before dinner. I think that happens prior to that. Oh, I think that's a good guess. Yeah. I'm going to guess the same thing. Good. Good guess. It means morning. Morning. Yeah. Yeah. See, once again, I'm not even accurate. Yeah, that's very inaccurate. Matinee's happened afternoon. Always. Yeah. What is the word afternoon in French? Look that up. You're going around the bat wave. We're going to rename it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to find, I'm going to find some sort of combination. The word, oh, he's going to try it. Apprace Medi. Apprace Medi. Yeah. Apprace Medi. But you have to say one word. You can't go. Come. Medi. What? That's what it's doing again. Apprace Medi. Apprace Medi. Apprace Medi. Have you played France? I have. I was about to ask you that. Never. Really? I've only passed. I want to. I've only played. We only did London and Dublin at the only two European cities. I mean, I guess this isn't European, but we also did Australia and New Zealand. Not the same thing at all, man. There's literally other side of the world. In fact, you can't get any further without coming back. It's not here, though. I know what you mean. Australians are like the Europeans of the ocean. Yeah. Yeah. I understand. Yeah. Just do do fucking Paris. Do Amsterdam. I do want to do that because I went to Amsterdam once. I do want to go back and do shows. Go to Copenhagen. Denmark. Stockholm. I don't really Hamburg. Germany. Berlin. Hamburg in Berlin. I'll do. You don't want to go to Stockholm. No, just because this. So this the name association scares me a little bit of the syndrome. Yeah. I don't want to get involved with that. You know. I can't. I wonder how many tourists they lose every year because they're like, that's where the syndrome came from. Yeah. It is a weird name association when you hear Stockholm. You go on the Stockholm syndrome. Yeah. Does any other city have that attached to it? There's like Boston racism. Is that one? Do they have Boston city? No other city has an association like that that I can think of. Boston syndrome. Boston syndrome. That's what I meant to say. Yeah. I heard it in my head. I saw you do it. We'll just edit it. So it said, you're okay. You're gonna be doing a lot editing on this one. No, I didn't need it. Go back. How long's your special? 16 or 17 full minutes. It was no. It was 56 I think. Shade under an hour. What did you do? I did 50, but I wish I would have cut out another five at least because I don't think anyone gives a fuck up. There's no stick, but to not doing an hour anymore. No, I think 50 is not going to watch the full thing anymore. 45s actually sounds much more appealing. Yeah. Well, 45 used to be the number that old hour specials were on TV. It used to be this. I mean, I guess it's still the club comedy club standard, right? 45. Yeah. What do you, is that how long you do when you're on stage? Somebody frees frame it when he drank up. I always feel, send me that photo. I always feel like I'm short-changing them if I do 45. I do an hour just because yeah, I feel like I'm supposed to. But lately, I've been shooting for 50 and then I usually go over. But I mean, 50 minutes of listening to me is probably, I think any comic really. Why be self-deprecating? Even you. You know, I was like, I get it. Well, people don't want to give me, they want to look at me, but they want to hear you. So if I get your demeanor, we would be a home run. We should do a thing where we tour together. You're out front, I'm behind the curtain. Now thing with the microphones, I'd love that. Singing in the rain. Singing in the rain? That would be funny if we really followed through on that. I actually would call to our respective ages. Here's what you're booking now. I'm going to be behind a curtain, the entire time. Andrew Berry? That's my middle name, by the way. Well, then we're, dude, this is already meant to be. This is written in the start. But if we're going to do a base of that, then I should get two thirds of the money. Well, it's based more on who needs it. Then I should get all of it. 100% of the door. You like that? Yeah. Maybe an alley up there, babe. Meet new grippie setting mist from Mavily New York.

Are you a sports fan at all? No, but I've been watching clips that are showing up in my little algorithm. And I like watching like baseball catches and I love buzzer beaters and basketball. Love that. I like the big moments. And I went to with Sam Reilly. I went to a next game. No, a WNBA game. What is that? Women's basketball. What is that? What is women's basketball? It's right there in the description. He's a big supporter. Well, he's a diehard next fan. But he got us in like these who were like VIP. Floor seats. There was a buffet. Floor seats. We were right behind the other team, which I forgot their name, but it's kind of cool. They're called the other team, I think. I mean, it depends on House. And it's New York Liberty. Liberty. And I don't remember who it was. I can name a few. I made a joke at the beginning, but I really am a big WNBA fan. All right. Hardcore. No, I do. I know them all. Who did it be in a fever? No, it wasn't them Chicago sky. I don't think it was them. Are you guys the links? Then it's sort of lame, right? Like I think it's I cannot cut a few. I'm pretty impressed. Seattle Seattle storm Washington, Washington. I'm worried that even if you get it, I'm gonna not remember you won't or no, but luckily it's completely unimportant. The Washington assassinations. Mystics. Oh, the mystics. Yeah. Phoenix. The Phoenix. Mystics. Oh, the Phoenix has got to be called the Mercury. You're right. Isn't this good? I'm pretty good. This is good as far as things that you're going to definitely cut out. This is pretty good. So you went with Sam Raul, but you enjoyed it. Did you enjoy the WNBA? Yeah, had a great time. And it was also VIP. I like VIP treat. Well, that's really what it is. You're the fancy guy. People think you're this humble, sweet guy, and no one knows. This guy's a private jet stretch limo guy, which is very outdated, but he'll take, he'll request from the club. He'll go, I need to be picked up on a stretch limo in front of the But I think it was the comedy story lesson I think there was one of these ridiculous partied busts. Double level white limo. So stupid. Yeah. And who got out of it? The coolest people ever. I thought, if a comic did that, I would think that's funny. Like that was a bit to show up in that. That would be very funny. Do you know John Trader, tall John, they call him? He writes on Bob's Burgers. It sounds familiar. He's six foot ten. Yeah. But he, I was joking with him once when I was here, now I go, I asked him for a ride to the airport. And he said, couldn't I go, I won't just get me a stretch limo. Anyway, the next morning, I wake up, there's a fucking white, ridiculously stretch limo. Like, just as a goof, he fucking went ahead and booked it. Wasn't even there to see my reaction. But I was mortified. Like, riding this thing in the airport, you're like, yeah, here's good, 20 minutes from my gay, but it's fine. You want to let me off before we actually get into LAX. I'll just walk it out. That's some serious fuck you money when you could do that for a practical job. Well, Bob's Burgers, that's a successful show. Yeah, he does. I'm sure he does. I know. I'm on those six. I know. But I mean, he's a writer. Yeah, he makes more than that. Yeah, he's like a talented guy. I'll just get right into what you're trying to point out. So he makes more than I can. I'm sorry, I'm sorry about that. What do you mean? You're like the voiceover guy. You get more work and voiceover. We actually talked to you jokingly. You know, he read for the bad friend's animated show. Oh, I did. It doesn't even exist. So, you know, it would have been nice to get paid and then have it not exist. It doesn't mean that it won't happen, but we still don't know. Did someone pass on it? No, no, it's, it's Hulu owns it. I mean, we just haven't gotten a green light to do it. Okay. Development hell. We're in development in the world pool of development just waiting for someone to go. Okay. How long has it been, though? A year? Well. Prepare yourself. Because it's okay. Yeah. Really? Shit. How long do they keep people waiting for that? You know, we actually turned it in in July and the end of the year was kind of the cutoff point for them to make the decision. So we'll see. We'll see. Yeah. And I'll see you on set if I get the. Well, I won't see on set, man. It's a voiceover thing. So you'll be in a booth. Wow. Mr. littoral. Well. Doesn't get jokes, man. Well, it's only because I don't want to see you on set. That's right. That's right. There is no set. I keep telling you this. You call, where's the set? There is no set. Do you record from home when you do Vio? Or do you go to a booth? I have. I like it at the house. I like it. I mean, I like going to the studio because I think I lost my, my, my, that he's Bob's burgers got me a microphone. This is when I moved. I lost it. Takes one of these before you go. Can I grab one of these? Same thing. Doesn't matter. I'm going to grab that tripod as well. We got a hundred of them in here laying around somewhere. But I, I mean, I do like the cut. I remember once, one of the last ones I did is for Bob's burgers and they sent me my schedule and the session was 12.50 to 1 p.m. Oh, yeah. Perfect. I think I can do that. I can knock it out. Oh, yeah. That's easy. I had a million dollars in episode. You're only getting a million? Yeah. God, that's nothing. Damn. Fuck. How much did you get for Los Angeles? Yeah. Oh, man. I think Mitch bought me some chicken fingers. That's nice. I don't think he paid. I don't think, I don't remember getting paid. Where did you guys all stay? I'm from Minnesota and I just love, you know, Minnesota shit. And I know he has no shot there. I don't, I forgot where we stayed. But we record, we filmed that hotel we filmed that was like. We had to step aside so they could let people check in. It's that gorilla shit, man. Yeah. It's like when I did the wrestler and we filmed in a supermarket. Yeah. In a live supermarket. Yeah. Or it was open. Or that Louis shirt where you guys were on the Staten Island ferry. Yeah. God. You didn't get permission from Colin Jost or Pete Davidson to film on the ferry. They had to both sign off on it. They still own that, don't they? Anything Staten Island related. They do. What did they buy? They own the Staten Island ferry. Really? Yeah. They bought it years ago, right? Together? I didn't know you could. That's a private entity. Well, I think the city sold it off. I think it was probably hemorrhaging money and they were like, "Here, just someone else want it." It's still hemorrhaging money. Yeah, sure. Pete, just want to weekend update. Like a week ago. Talked about it. Oh, really? No. Well, you know, here's a dumb New York fact. You know why many of the train lines in New York run the same route for an extended period of time. You know why? Why wouldn't they? Well, I mean, there's multiple lines that go to multiple stops for an extended period of time when they could have broken them off, but they were all independently owned lines. They were all owned by different companies and then the New York transit bought them back because it was avoiding them monopoly. Wow. Because people would take one line for cheaper and why would they go to the other line? So there was, like, you had a choice? Yeah, you had a choice. I never knew that. Yeah. It's something I learned in New York and I don't know that. Did they still call you, Mr. New York? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we got to strip that title away. Now, people, again, this is another fact that people don't know is you were appointed recently as a special adviser to Mom Donny, which is kind of cool. Yes. Are you on call? I just said keep smiling, man. You get a good smile. You're a young man. Keep smiling. Keep smiling. Every time you talk. The kids got a great smile, huh? Yeah. I mean, I voted for them. I don't know. With not much information. They let you vote. They do. Huh. I just turned 18. I just turned 18. So it's like one of the first things I wanted to do. You voted for them. Yeah. Yeah. I just wanted to vote for them. That's my new job, man. I should be better about getting artists to make stuff. I just don't, I don't really post. I just do like, I'll just throw it up there and write. Come here, please. I mean, some people don't need fancy. That's a nice poster in the back. I'm looking at it. That was, yeah, that's a beautiful poster. Right. That's really good. Yeah, some of those are really rad. You get, you get, we have some fan art that people created for bad friends a lot that are just incredible artists. But then I always feel like, I, I don't know. There's something embarrassing about promotion. And it shouldn't be because it's like, please come see me. Well, I mean, there's comedians who I, when I think of them, I think of their promotion. Go ahead and name them. Oh, no, I'm not going to, of course not. I'm kidding. I'm not going to slag anyone. I'll, I'll slag somebody. You know who's a real promotional whore? Someone who's like just repulsive about it? Dave Atel. This guy never stops promoting. Is he never not selling something? He's got a re-box shoe deal now, this guy. It'd be really funny to see Atel do like a 180 commercial for. Courier by Mario. I'm struggling with that. I saw you fishing. He's like that notorious. He, to me, is just like, he is a comedic masterpiece. Yeah, he is. And just move seamlessly in his own way. Yeah. It's kind of cool to, it's, it's, I'm a fan, but also like, admire him too. It's like he does very well, but it also seems underappreciated. And tremendously so. Well, I mean, in the comedy world, I would argue comedy fans are very in tune with how. Yeah, he's about us. Yeah, he's the fucking man. But right, I think in the, in the, in the bigger scale of what the internet has done for comedy, I believe many young people perhaps aren't, don't really know who that is. Yeah. Did you ever start with someone that you thought for sure was going to make it and didn't or vice aversa? Someone you were like, you, thank you. Imagine if we started together when I was, all right, don't go, all right, there you say. He punches, I punch. There are, I won't say that there was someone, there are people who had their little moments in the sun. Yeah. We're like, there we've got a development deal, or they got a pilot. That was a big deal back then. And they thought, you know, probably justifiably thought they were on easy street, but then pilot doesn't go. in their fucking back at the comic strip getting their $15 or whatever, right? Who, who, who is your oldest friend in comedy that you still consider a, like a, a close friend? Um, as a guy started with a Florida named Tom Ryan. Tom Ryan. Is he still in Florida? No, he's in the, he's, he's watching my cat, actually. Oh, he is. Yeah. Say how to Tom. Hey, Tom. Shout out to Tom. Is he still doing stand-up? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh, who, I mean, Sarah, I've known Sarah a long time, Sarah Silverman. Really? Like pre-fame. Yeah. She's famous. Yeah. Funny. As famous as me and maybe definitely you, she's more famous than me for sure. Yeah. That's a fact. Um, what about you? My oldest friend in comedy is for him and more. Do you know him? I just worked with him the past couple of days. He's my, he's very funny. He's one of the funniest guys I know. He's my oldest friend. We met, we, we're kind of starting out together when he, he was, uh, he was a engineer for Boeing. Jesus. Yeah. It's not kind of wild. He worked for Boeing up until I think he got a TV credit. Like he was still working for Boeing. He had this guilt from his parents. They couldn't have a job. Yeah. I've just like, what are you chasing this bullshit dream? You know, and then he just had this, and they're right. But it's like, I think he just had, he held that for longer than he needed to because he's very talented guy. Yeah. But it just sucks that like when I'm lucky, my parents, I'm an idiot. So my parents are like, good luck at whatever you're fucking, we can't believe you can still breathe and walk. Like that, I, I do think my parents are like remarkably supportive because I don't, I was like, I don't know what I can do. I know that I love this thing. This is the only thing I know I think I can do. So I was like, I have to try this. Yeah. I'd always bug me when I'd meet someone like, my parents will pay for my college, but not if I major in theater. It's like, who gives a fucking kid do what the fuck they want? They'll pay for it. Yeah. If you're willing to pay for it, you shouldn't be like, if you're going to do something, you can major in something you don't want to major in, we'll pay for it. It's like buying someone a meal they hate. It's like, here's a meal that I like, and I'm ready to eat if you don't eat it. Right? Right. That's like a 20 more of those. Yeah. Let's go. Keep going. Look on throwing one. Don't do it, please. Yeah, I don't understand that. I was, I was very lucky to have supportive parents that that, you know, but my parents were very blunt about it. Like, I don't know how it was when you first started, but like, you know, they were like, I'm not going to give you any fucking money. We're definitely not going to be like a safety net, but like fly for, go do it. Go get a day job and then go try it. But what kind of business are they? And if I'm asked, well, but they're both long since retired. My mom, my dad was in sales. He was just a, he worked for Turtle Wax, you know, Turtle Wax car. I haven't thought about that. Yeah. Well, they, they, they burned out for a reason. Okay. People don't wash their cars anymore. That's true. They could have car washes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but the old days of like the 70s of people like hand washing in their driveway, those are days are dead. Really? Well, they slowly kind of petered out in like the late 90s or the 2000s. People, I, people took, I mean, I'm a car guy. So it's like very reflective of the industry. People, uh, cars were being made less carefully and specially and kind of more production line. He slapped together plastic chunks of it for economic purposes. And so people had less pride in their vehicle. I think like when you bought a car 50 years ago, you like really gave a shit about that car. Now nobody gives a fuck about their car, unless you're a car person, which is a very smart. What a sense of your car person. You have multiple cars. No. Some of that really, like, like loves, like mo, what I'm trying to say is a lot of friends that I have, it's a thing to get from A to B. They couldn't care less. What it is. Right. So that's, you're the, you're the majority now. But I do think 50, 60 years ago, that wasn't good. A lot of you, because you've bought a car. You kind of had pride in it because it's an expensive thing and they were made very well. And there was things about it that kind of had some Americana. Maybe that's all very karaoke. Like this is my, I can go anywhere in this thing. It's a freedom. It's a piece of freedom. And now it's like, it's just getting me to my fucking job. And that, or even more severe than that, don't even rent a car when you come to LA. Yeah, you took an Uber, right? So you couldn't care. It wasn't the right word there. No. But I, but I just like cars. I love the design aspects. I love, I love the power of, I can think of two cars I like. What are they? I like these jeeps I've been seeing. Yeah. Like, like, what do we tell you? Like a bigger Jeep, it seems like like the largest version. Perhaps the wagonier is what it's called. It's cool looking. That's the biggest one. They're bigger than the average Jeep branch. I like these fiats. The little tiny ones. You've gone from both ends of the scale. I mean, maybe I'll just buy one of these. Try. You've got it like that. You keep doing map all night. Be up all night going, should I get that one or that one? Fucking get them both. Get a bold man. I have fuck you money, man. And by two cars, I never drive them. Man. You have fuck comma you money. I mean, I do have a garage. And do you have a garage? Oh, I was like, Holy shit, that would build my sign fell task. He does for all his cars. And you went sign fell to best best friends. You guys are tight. You guys are good pals. Have you ever been in contact with sign fell or you guys have any relationship whatsoever? Well, here's where you didn't do your research. I was on comedians and cars. Oh, that's right. You did the most polarizing episode ever. I'm polarizing you mean in what way? You can look up polarizing later. But well, he has to do it for me. It's either people like you're the most preshittiest guest ever. Shittiest? Yeah. And then I had a woman I was eating alone in New Orleans. And the swatress on the other side of the fucking restaurant B lines. Oh, you're your episode of comedians and cars was my favorite. I was like, yeah, that's cool. Fucking that made up. Well, I do remember your episode. You right, you talked about living in your car and getting set to the left factory. I remember that getting sent to the left. Oh, you're joking. You're not Tiffany Hattish. That episode I like. If you ever had someone do that where they like, you know what episode I like? I like the other one. Oh, really? Or somebody goes, Todd, do you know this comedian? Yeah. I know. Oh, I love that guy. Okay. My wife hates you, but I think I fucking amazing. Hey, here's a new way you could have said that. Yeah. You're amazing. I like you. Yeah, that's all that's all you need to hear. Or I get, I get sometimes I get somebody. Hey, can I get a photo? And as we're taking a picture, they go, I'm not a fan, but my buddy loves you. I'm like, okay, I've had that. That hurts my family sitting at a restaurant. This one walks. Oh, she's my boyfriend's fan ears. They sit down like, go be with your boyfriend. Like, or send him over. Yeah, get him here. Get the fan over here. He's like, Hey, I'll talk to him if you want. Okay. I'll know him if you want. But how often you get recognized every day? Pretty much. Yeah. I would say every day probably. Yeah. And not LA is great because home, nobody gives a shit. It's great. It's like New York. No one gives a fuck about you in New York. It's wonderful. Well, no, I'm saying you, I mean, you are not the role of you. I was literally, I was that was literal. No, I think nobody, I think New York and LA are cities that kind of are so. People don't really care. But when you go to another city, they're surprised. They always, what are you doing here? Yeah. Well, that's if you have a poorly promoted show. Yeah. What are you doing here? I'm doing a show at the place we're at right now. I've had, and I mean, that's frustrating. We're like, what do you do in a town? I just did a show in the next building over. I'm right there right now. I'm a huge fan. What are you doing in my city? I mean, Trent, we signed 30 of the exact headshots. I got in an elevator last night going back up to my hotel room and one girls, I was holding a bag and she was like, ooh, what's in the bag? And I said, it's none of your business. And they were being flirty and fun. And I was tired. Yeah. And then she goes, oh, okay, what are you doing here? Because they were going to like a bar at the roof. And I was going to my room. And I said, I'm in town for work. And the one girl goes, what do you do? And I said, finance. And the girl went, boo, and I loved that. I thought that was so funny. Boo in my face. It was fucking awesome. I was like, good on this girl. What do you think she did, though? Well, she didn't recognize me to go. Huh? She clearly didn't recognize you. She had no, she didn't know who I was. It was great. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. She was not, they were, they were drunk going up to a bar younger. What city was this? Phoenix. What hotel was it? The Remy. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. Was it a corporate gig or something? No, I was doing the Tempe improv. Okay. Okay. Yeah. You played there? Yeah. Yeah. A bunch of few times. I went to school there. Really? Harvard at the West. Arizona State. That's what they say. Is that a Tempe? Tempe. Right next day. Where the improv is is literally on the corner of the campus. That club is huge. No. No. Two, six, like 400 or something. No. Why don't they get that? Tempe. Look it up. Look it up. I think it's at least 425. There's no way. Hold on. I mean, maybe that was 160 was your attendance. But I sold out five shows. Okay. It is. I'll tell you right now. It is 400. Yeah. 400. All right. Yeah. I sold out five shows. Well, I won that one. Because you sold out five. Yeah. Over 40. Wow. No, he's 450. Oh, okay. So it's more people. That's what it says. I won that one. Oh, fuck. You're right. Wait. We keep skipping. We keep jumping. We have like a tree of thought. The digression is terrible. Okay. The den theater in Chicago. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Did you? Why did you pick Chicago? Um, I don't know if I picked it or the all things comedy. Oh, they produced it. Yeah. They paid for it. And they I think it was their choice. And they had another comic. Joe Bartonick. Yeah. Joe Bartonick. Yeah. So he was on the same like he opens for burst sometimes. Yeah. He's funny. Yeah. So he was like the same weekend. and so they just, you know, could stay set up. - Oh, so he filmed one, you filmed one. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Who was better? - Mine, oh. - Let's go scene joke by joke. - Joke by joke. - Point Barry. - Point Barry. - Point Barry. - One point Barry. That reminds me, one time fits Greg Fitzsimmons. I had a, we were doing a show together, years and years ago, and I said Fitz, I have a joke that's similar to that. It's not the same, but it's, we used like a similar premise. And I was like, oh, I like that. That was really good. And I said, I probably, I just stopped doing it then. And he goes, well, who does it better? And I said, oh, you do. And he goes, yeah, I'll keep doing it then. (laughs) - That's funny. I love Fitz. - He just called me from Skankfest. Which, and they were calling me, Skankfest is calling me saying, where's Todd? Where's Todd? - Your producer got up and quit. (laughs) - That's actually my dream. I want him to quit so bad. He gets, he just, he lives this like such fun, beautiful life as a 26, 25 year old, 26 year old. What are you again? - 26, 26 year old male. - Right, he lives a dream, he lives alone. I never lived alone when I was 26. I had four roommates in one bathroom. - Really? - Yeah. - Yeah, I had roommates. - Yeah, I was gonna say, a 26. - I remember even like, even in New York, I had the, the best room I'd ever had was Brian Kylie. Do you know him, the comic? - It's, I don't know why it sounds like that, but now I'm gonna say no. - He wrote for Conan forever. - Okay. - And he's a super nice guy, but he lived in Boston and but got this job when Conan was in New York. So he would go on Fridays. He would just go straight to work from Boston. And then, I'm trying to remember what he did. He somehow, it was like four days without a roommate every week. - Oh, all right, all right. - Fucking, why am I blanking in the detail, man? - There he is. - It looks like Matt Walsh a little bit. - Matt Walsh was the other roommate. - There you go. - The right wing blog. - That's right. - Yeah, oh yeah, that Matt Walsh. Not, right, you're right, right. You know Matt, you know Mr. Matt Walsh. - Yeah, the, the good one. - The comic. - Yeah, yeah, he's great. - Who's the other Matt Walsh? - Oh, there's a right wing. - He's like a daily wire, Matt Walsh. Like, concerned. - What does he look like? Maybe I do know who that is. - Matt Walsh, which one do you like more? - Oh, I remember the schedule now. - Give it to me. - He would fly in on Friday, I think, from Boston, go straight to work, then leave, go back to Boston, and come back straight to work on one day. Does that make sense? - Yeah. - So he was barely there. - He was barely there. - Yeah. - He never needed to be there. - Thanks God, I remember that guy. - Oh, that guy, yeah. - That guy, yeah, I've seen that guy on the internet. Yeah. - Well, you're a conservative pun, didn't everyone kind of know that? - Yeah. - You've got your new conservative show. - Oh, Libertarian at the same time. - Right. - Yeah. - But you've got a new show that you're going to be premiering called "Berry's Barries." Right? Is that what it's called, "Berry's Barries"? - It is. It's a right wing show. And it's all about the fruit industry. - So it's all the right wings view of fruit. Not all riffing works, you know? So sometimes you riff and it's great. I think sometimes that does work better. When it doesn't work, it works very well. - It worked because I pointed it out that it didn't work. Now people like attention has been diffused. - That's not tension. I mean, there's a sexual tension when you walked in. You still got a kid. My God. - Have you done Chipel's Club? - No, I bought this on Etsy. - Really? - Yeah, no, I did it. Yeah, I did it. I did, I played the club and then we did summer camp this year, you know what that is? You never went to Jewish summer camp as a kid? - I did. I actually was supposed to go to Jewish summer camp and I bailed the night before. - Really? - I said, "Mom, I don't want to do this." - That's not for you. - I don't want to do this 'cause I went to day camp. You ever go to day camp? - Uh-huh. So basically you go home, but it's camp. But I, it was too regimented for a man to just, I've always been a loose cannon. - You really are a wild card. - A wild card? (laughs) Have you gone out to the Ellis ranks, Tisha Pelt? - No, but he invited me and for sure you should go. - By phone number, I go, "Yeah, no, I don't actually have "your phone number, give me the number." But then he introduced me to someone who I think books it and it just hasn't happened for some reason. - You gotta do it. It's honestly one of the most fun I've ever had. It's beautiful. You play in this outdoor pergola and everyone's outside and it's in this big, gorgeous feel, but surrounded by trees and it's very pretty. It's very, very pretty. - Sounds good. - Yeah, you gotta go do it. He's a good egg, that's your pal. He's a good egg. That's what they say, he's a good egg, that's your pal. Did you make up that good egg expression? - You never heard good egg? You know good egg, that's a midwest thing. - He's a good egg, meaning like, he's a good egg. - Yeah, I know it a good egg. - All right. - I've been called it up my whole life. - No chance. - No chance. You're a rotten egg. - When are you on tour now? A little bit. - A little bit. - Are you doing clubs now? - I'm doing a little bit of clubs and then I'm doing some casinos, you know? Doing casinos and clubs. Yeah, you don't like those? - I like a casino when it's in a weird place and it's not like people are just camp there. - Sure. - And like, as we see comedy tonight, and then, you know, they always give out 600 comps. - Yeah, sure. I once got an offer from a club in Atlanticcy. I'm not going to mention what it was, but the project that said we have a right to let 100 people in for free and your guest list is limited to eight. - These are people who aren't going to pay? Like, can I get 30 people in who aren't going to pay? - No, they're like, no. - Well, really, it's our specialty. - It's probably 'cause they want the high rollers in there. - Yeah, they want the people that are spending all the money. Now, I'm doing a little bit of casinos and then go back to clubs again at some point next year. You're on the move, you're on the run, aren't you? - Yeah. - How many days you got lined up? - Now? - Yeah. - I don't even know. - Bring it up. Bring up ToddBerry.com. - Whoa. - Or what's your website's got to be? - ToddBerry.com. - Got it, knew it. I've been guessing that stuff for years. - It's exciting to get the ToddBerry.com forever. - Well, 'cause ToddBerry. I mean, that's a little too common. - Andrew Santino is probably not going to get scooped. ToddBerry, we'll get-- - You have Andrew Santino.com. - I've.org. - Seriously? No, I've.com. - Yeah, I've.com. What is it? - I use playing East Grand Witch Rhode Island. - Greenwich. - Richmond, Virginia. - Virginia. - Virginia. - Love it. - Port Smouth, New Hampshire on the 4th of December. Armory at MGM Springfield on December 5th. - I guess that's sort of the casino. - And 6th. - That is. - Crescent Theater on the 11th in Mobile. - Howl in Wolfe on the 12th in New Orleans. - Ooh, New Orleans. - Then howl are the-- - And is he playing a New Year's Eve show? - Not yet. - He need to. - Are you doing one? - No, I'd never done. - I like doing them because the money, like even in Justin to see the money's bigger. - Yeah. - And if you really want to go out, then just fucking go out whenever you're done. - Yeah, that's fun. I mean, I don't really do anything for New Year's. I'd rather, I don't like do a big parties. I like to just, it's like almost like a vacation. - Kind of don't like all holidays. - You like one of them. - What, Halloween? - You love Halloween. - I like that people leave that bowls of candy, like hotels and stuff like that. 'Cause I love candy. - You got a sweet tooth? I don't have a sweet, well, I guess I just said, I love candy and then tried to deny that I have a sweet tooth. - Right. - I can't have it both ways in that one. - I'd improv there. - Yeah, I called candy. I called myself out on that one. (laughing) - I'm tough and I'm fair, even with myself. (laughing) You don't have a sweet tooth. Do you think you do a little bit? - No, I do, but I'm not. Sometimes I could, you know, take a bite of a piece of cake and I'll be like, all right, that did it, that's fine. - One bite? - All right, that depends on what case. - A little mass of case. - It's gonna cake, do you like? - I like ice cream cake. - Ice cream cake. Fucking seven years old, what's wrong with him? - I haven't had ice cream cake, from Carvell. - I'll get him from, yeah, Carvell's pretty good. I'll take your Carvell. I like ice cream cake a lot. - You get cake and ice cream. - Yeah, why would we separate them? It doesn't make any fucking sense. Put it together. Oh, you got to keep it in the fridge. Yeah, you keep it in the fridge anyway. - Freezer. - No, I'm fridge when you're ready to eat, my friend. - Oh, really? - Let it soften it up. - When's the last time you purchased an ice cream cake? - This morning at 10, 30 in the morning. - Seriously? - No, God, God. - What's your, you don't drink no drugs, no nothing. - I drink a little bit. - But very rarely. I feel like I've only seen you blacked out once on the news. TMZ, did you see that clip of him? Todd Berry's winner is out on Manhattan's fifth avenue running a muck. - You drink on planes? - Never. - Neither do I. - It's, you're dehydrated already. It's a bad idea. - Yeah, sometimes they just see someone ordering you drink and I get a headache. - Yeah, all right. - But I've never understood things. You fly to like on an hour and a half flight and do the, yeah, can I get a double gin tonic? - It's fucking our flight. - My friend. - And it's also six in the morning. Most of the time it's the guy doing it right at six seven in the morning. - I just always wonder, what's going on at 10 o'clock at night with this mother, what's going on at 10 o'clock in the morning? - Also I have, in the past I learned to not drink on flights because when I did it when I first started touring in my 20s, I'd get drunk and hung over on the same flight. It's coming from LA, every flight from here is forever. There's no quick flight. We're not like you guys and you guys bounce around. If I'm coming anywhere, it's gonna take a couple hours. - What do you mean when we bounce around? - It's so easy to get from New York to all these, we'll see, the East Coast is quite concentrated. - Yeah. - And then the West Coast is not. - Maybe you've never been to a place called Wyoming. - No shit, that's not the East Coast. - That's not the East Coast. - I do that. - Yeah, it's just far for anywhere, like Denver's two hours. - Do you, are you one of these Burr Bank airport? - I just live in-- - Two hours ago to Burbank. - People love Burbank so best. - It's the best. - It's just not as bad as LAX. - That's correct. - That would make it the best. - It's not like particularly amazing airport. - Well, what would make it an amazing airport? - Great food choices. - That's insane. You eat at the airport? Are you seven? - Wow. - See? You see how this happens? - I didn't come here to get attacked. - You started it. No, airports, the only thing that makes an airport wonderful to me is how easily I can get in and out of that place. - Yeah. - I want nothing to do with it. - I don't want it to exist. I want it to do so. Let me get through the thing as fast and get out of the thing as fast. - I love a good small airport, like an Asheville, North Carolina airport. - Oh, that's the fucking greatest. - Yeah. - It doesn't exist. Security is one guy, you know. - Hey man, how you done? - Yeah, like, coming back like when I landed, I had to go to their LA exit. I had to go to the Uber lift park. - Pick up area. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It seemed like a four hour walk. - It's a nightmare. Again. - When it was probably 10 minutes, with us in the exit bank. - Do you fly first class every, every flight? - I fly the plane, I ask to fly the plane. I, there's an upgraded ticket now. If you want to get up in the jump seat. - I guess we can't ask serious questions. - Do I fly first class everywhere? I do. I do. I do. - Do you buy a first class ticket? - I do buy a first class ticket, yeah. - What if it's like $4,000? - I'm accruing a high amount of debt on my credit card. - Are you? - Yeah, I might as well. Because you know, I learned recently, we talked about this that if you die with a lot of debt, it just gets, you know, gets taken care of. - What if I pulled out a gun right now? - Okay. - Kill me. - I don't give a shit. - No, I don't want to. - Brother, we're both comics. - How funny would it be if you carried a gun? Todd carries a gun around? - Yeah, he's got a knife. Throw it at him. - This guy's prepared. - Yeah. No, I do, I do buy the ticket. Because when we travel, I'd like it. - You'd never do it? - I have occasionally, but it's usually like, I can upgrade my flight back to LA. - From LA to New York, it's like $3,000. - That's insane. - $3,000? - $3,000? - Yeah, yeah. Sometimes I do with miles and a little small cash amount there. - I like miles and cash. I'll do that. - Do you like the lounges? - I bet you love the lounges. - I usually get there right before we take off, but you cut it close guy. - Yeah, but if we go early as the crew, yeah, then we'll sit around and allow, but most days if I'm flying solo, baby. - Don't worry about, like, missing a flight? - Why worry? Why worry? What was it, Alfred? - I don't care what me worry. - What me worry? - I don't know where he's in the world, man. What would I be worried? I know, I don't, yeah, no. Like a traffic jam. Okay. That makes you miss your flight. - Yeah, I've never done it yet. - Really? - I think these things, it's almost like putting a case on your phone. It's why I don't have this either. This is all societally imposed. - Really? - I don't have a phone. I don't put a case on my brake phone. If you think about it going to happen, it probably is going to happen. - If you manifest it? - Yeah, it's you doing that. Oh, I can't. What if I'm late to the flight? You won't be. Just make it so you don't be. - That's why I won't be, I don't know if it's related. Like if I take a drug or something, like a prescription drug, I try not to always read the side effects. - 'Cause you'll get one. - 'Cause you'll be like, oh, yeah, I'm sorry. My toes are kind of tingling. - All right, of course. Of course. Yeah, or let me guess the prescription drugs that you're on. - No. - All right. - Ooh, shut it down. - God, you really did. - I'm not on antidepressants or anything like that. - That's not what I was gonna guess. - Oh. - Then probably yes. - Yes. (laughing) - Everyone else on "Ozemic" now, that's the new thing. - Yeah. - You've been skinny your whole life. You don't have to worry about that. - You've never battled it? - No, I haven't. - Yeah. - Were you a fat kid? - No, I've always had a little bit of a gut, pot belly. I don't know how to get rid of it. - That's good for you. - It is? - No, it's bad for you actually. It means your heart's working overtime. - Oh, fuck, I think you might be right about that. (laughing) - Are you on cholesterol medication? - Yeah, but it was, yeah. - I am the statin, I'm on a statin, yeah. - Yeah. - How many milligrams? - Oh god. - Let's say it at the same time. - One, two, three. - Oh, you don't know? - No. - 10. - I think I'm 10 also. - 10. - Yeah, it's not a competition, Todd. - It says here that a pot belly is not good for you. It's a visible sign of serious health risks, including heart problems, diabetes, and certain cancers. This is often due to a build of dangerous visceral fat that wraps around your organs, which could be caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. - Fuck. - Well, how does that feel? - So glad I did this podcast. (laughing) - Oh, you don't have a belly. I've never noticed you. - I don't think I have a, I don't have a gigantic belly, but I have a little bit of belly. - I think you're a regular size man as far as I'm concerned. - Thank you. - Paul Simon, why am I soft in the middle now? One of the best lines of all time. - That's a good line, yeah. - That's like one of the great, sometimes a line hits you so hard and it's just a throw away line. But when I first heard that, I thought, "Yeah, that is true." As soon as you get a little bit older, you're like, "Why am I soft in the middle now?" And when did it happen? I can't even mark the moment it happened. He has no fucking idea what that feels like. A 25 or a six year old kid. They don't know. Like that's the thing that just happens. - Right. - Where you're like, "Why am I more tired?" Because of that thing that never used to make me tired. - Yeah. - How many times are you paying in the middle of the night? - Seven. - No, I know. (laughing) - You've marked it on the wall. - 85. - Sometimes none. - I'm almost always one. - But generally, if I am doing that's one. - One in one a night. And what time is it? Is it pretty clockworky? - Maybe after I've kind of done a full night sleep, maybe. Mine's like 445, almost on the nose every night. 43445. - Do you sleep well? - No. - Do you? - I sleep pretty well, yeah. But how can you sleep knowing the abuse? - You're forced on your casts. - Foyce is up, that's a word, right? - Yeah, to force something, yeah. - Yeah, that's true. - So what do you do for that? Do you take a sleep and go? - No, that's good. - Now I just let it ride. Just gonna die early. - What time do you go to sleep? - 3.30? - Yeah. - Yeah, I've got about an hour to sleep. No, I'm in bed most nights by midnight give or take. - Really? - You're tired now. - Just suddenly fell like midnight right then. (laughing) - Midnight for me. - Do you play any like white noise, white noise? Like from your phone? - Yep. - Yeah. - We have a machine. See, the machine seems like unnecessary at this point, right? - Does it. Well, why, if you can do it with your phone, but this one has different kinds of noise and this one scientifically created to make the best white noise. - Scientifically, you think your phone wasn't scientifically created? - This, not the white noise app. It's actually, my white noise app is just a guy going, the, just a man. - You bombed tonight, you bombed tonight. - You bombed tonight. (laughing) - Yeah, huh. (laughing) - You know that calm the meditation app? - Yeah, I don't have any. - I don't have any sleep things on there. - Is that work? - Like infinite piano. It's kinda nice to have a little. - But you pay for the app. - You pay-- - There's a free version, and also Spotify has, is the free version of white noise have ads during the middle of the night? - No, wait, it was a movie. Hey, big Tommy's. (laughing) I don't know what big Tommy's is. - Come on man, you were right there, ring it out. - skateboard repair shop. - I don't know about that. - If you're making a comeback, those skateboard repair shops, they're all over the place. - Does that ever existed? - Never. - No chance. - That's like a vacuum repair store. They used to be all over West Hollywood. I was like, these are drug front fronts. This couldn't be a business. If a vacuum breaks-- - But I think those kind of businesses are good because it's like I'm the guy in L.A. who fixes that. - Fixed the vacuum? - Just buy a new vacuum. They can't, are they that expensive, a vacuum? - I've only ever gotten them for free on the street. - That's what I mean. - I got a free one.
