00:09:16
have a significant other. I don't think What do you think? You think if you never get married? If you never get
00:09:22
married Well, because I'm 53 years old. I've never been married. I don't think I've even been close. What do you mean you've been close? You
00:09:28
were very close. You lived Well, I never I never asked her to get married. Yeah, but but close meaning like you live together. You shared a family
00:09:34
together. Like you guys were very close. We were very close. And um I think the next level would have been that.

looked exactly like the cartoon's mouth to me. Ah, the jaw was incredible. Give me some other jaws of the other
00:18:04
[ __ ] Batman's, please. I mean, look, let me look at the other jaws. I know because everyone's going to get
00:18:10
it. The younger generation obviously is going to be like [ __ ] cuz Clooney awful. That's George I see
00:18:17
George Clooney all day. That suit is terrible. It was one of the worst. How do you get in on in that? That's
00:18:22
like one solid piece. It's painted on. Yeah, Val was Val was close. Just didn't do
00:18:28
it. Oh, good chisel, though. But his lips were too too female for me. But here's the like how I want to kiss that guy's lips.
00:18:35
All right, that's true. Those are too sexy. Exactly. You're right. You can't have hot lips. Those lips are too hot, dude.
00:18:40
And Chris O'Donnell was like I mean this was like gay porn. This was gay porn. Yeah. So,
00:18:46
this was gay porn. They play this on loop down in West Hollywood. They play If I was like the Penguin and that Batman was like, "I'm Batman." And I'd
00:18:53
go, right, I'd already go in for a kiss. I think you want to share a fish.
00:18:58
Yeah. So, um I mean, look at how gay that pose is right there. That's still I know. Why
00:19:04
are they doing that? Can I make an argument about And this is being real. I'm not trying to be funny. Is is that I think the best you have to
00:19:11
So, with that jawline, I'd be able to see who just based on his jawline who [ __ ] um
00:19:19
Bruce Wayne. Based on that, I'd be able to look at Bruce Wayne and go, "They have the same jawline." Oh, you'd know right away.
00:19:26
Do Do you understand what I'm saying? So that that's why that's not good. By the way, the funniest scene could have been is the moment he walked in
00:19:31
somewhere as Batman, someone goes, "Bruce," right away. Exactly. Could have spoiled the whole Exactly. So I don't think so. Give me a
00:19:36
jawline where I wouldn't be able to tell between Bruce Wayne and Batman. Which one of them? Yeah.
00:19:41
Well, probably Affleck. A Let me see. Affleck. Affleck looked like the most unBatman Batman. Look, that looks I kid that
00:19:48
I don't I wouldn't know if that was um Ben Affleck, maybe. I don't know that that's Ben Affleck. It actually looks the least like him
00:19:54
outside of the mask. But he looks sad, too, which is I like. Well, because he was thinking about his performance.
00:20:01
Also, the suit was so insane. It was so thick. This is like the steroids era of baseball and they were like, "We got to juice this guy up.
00:20:07
He was too big." Oh my god, dude. I watch I went down the biggest Robert Patson. Massive pass. Massive pass.
00:20:14
Mickey 17. Huh? Oh, no. What? Good.
00:20:19
No, I'm saying this this as Batman. Absolutely not. Do you see the movie? No, I'm not interested.
00:20:25

00:20:50
That's black woman, dude. What are you doing here, black woman? Yeah. Yeah. You've been laid on You've been laid on
00:20:56
child support for months, Batman. Yeah. So,
00:21:01
black woman. Black woman. Yeah. So, that's So, you never really saw that one. Where is black woman? She's late again.
00:21:12
That's so funny. I haven't seen it. Yeah, you please watch.
00:21:18
I'll watch it here. No. And also when she when I was watching her in the movie, I wasn't like there's black woman.
00:21:24
I was like, there's Catwoman, right? Okay. So, it's good. I'm going to sing
00:21:30

00:21:52
talking about watching the sound of music or say it in the mic? No, no, no. That music my music.
00:22:00
By the way, that set the precedent for every other Batman. No, no, no, no, no. They reuse that in all the Batman.
00:22:07
If I If I was from a different planet, sing the song again. How long? Wait, wait, what? Let me be an
00:22:12
alien. Yeah. Wow. Earth is beautiful. I heard about movies. Give me a theme of a

Behind Your Back very often. Very often enough where our fans are like, "Yes, who cares? Shut up." Um, sometimes what
00:26:53
I do is, you know, if you go to iTunes and you go to um, Queens of the Stone Age, right?
00:26:58
Sure. And they have that animatic like, right, and it has him dancing in it. Yeah.
00:27:03
Sometimes I'll just stare at him dancing. You know what I mean? You're wearing a leather jacket, you're dancing. That's not creepy at all.
00:27:10
Well, you know what? Cuz you're a tall drink of water. Yeah. And you dancing is the cell. They did that on the boomerang. You're talking
00:27:16
about like the loop. Yeah. He'll he'll do it. Yeah. And no matter what song is playing Yeah. Yeah, you're dancing. You're dancing in that thing matches it.
00:27:23
No, that doesn't sound that cool to me. It doesn't. I mean, yeah. Yes, it does.
00:27:29
No, I mean, do you choose that or No. Does Apple go, "Hey, look what we got." I I can't watch I can't watch a video or
00:27:36
a thing like that. I I can't I can listen to music, but I can't watch. Yeah. You can't watch yourself dance?
00:27:43
No. Okay. Can you watch yourself dance? Well, I've seen it. Well, here's the
00:27:48
thing. I know. Do you want Do you want to see it, though? That's the I mean, yeah. Is it I've seen it, but I don't know if I want
00:27:53
to see myself. All right. Like, it's not not even It's not specifically dance. It's just like
00:27:59
play and moves. Yeah. Play and But because I'm supposed to be funny, it's fine. But he's supposed to be sexy and
00:28:06
cool. Yeah. But his stance is sex. It's going to be sexier. It's going to be sexier than your dancing hair. Yeah. Yeah. There's nothing I can do
00:28:12
that's going to dance as cool or even guitar moves. It's all in the hips. Yeah, it is. You know that realization
00:28:18
when I was 13, I went to the the eighth grade prom and all those boys were sort of holding
00:28:24
up the wall. Yeah. You know, and I wanted so bad to dance with Sheree Dunham.
00:28:29
And we love a Sheree Dunham. Yeah. Who do you over there? That one's yours right there. I feel like I feel like they also love a
00:28:36
Shar. Yeah. Yeah. You like Sheree Dunham, don't you? I love Shere Dunham. And and then all the girls were dancing in the center of the thing and I said,
00:28:42
"Fuck it. I'm going to I'm going to do this." And I said, "Come on." I tried to get someone to go with me, right?
00:28:47
The girls were dancing and I just said, "Fuck it." And I just started shimming out there and I probably looked about
00:28:55
as, you know, stupid ridiculous lame as you could look. Yeah. Right. You know, you committed,
00:29:01
but I was It was too late. Yeah, you're right. I You can't go back. No, you got to go deeper.
00:29:06
Yeah. So, I went deep and I the Sheree and these girls, they're all dancing together. They turn around, they start laughing,
00:29:12
but it was like a cute kind of giggle and it was and I and I kept So I just added more to it like, "Hey,
00:29:18
I think I even I I I'm probably lying about this part, but who cares? Let's say I was I'm pointing around." Yeah.
00:29:26
Yeah. There's Germany. That's South America. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Antarctica. Wait, that's
00:29:32
wherever that is. Well, whatever science says it is. Yeah. And and I went out, but I realized their
00:29:38
laughter was like uh like they started saying, "Come out here." Yes. Yes. And ever since then, I was
00:29:44
always like, "I'm I'm God damn it. I'm gonna I'm gonna dance." Who was your Who was your Sheree Dunham?
00:29:50
Mine? Yeah. Who was yours? My Shere Dunham was um I can tell you.
00:29:55
Well, I'm going to say something. What? Why you I got one on the tip of my tip. No, I got one. Megan Stallard.
00:30:00
Mine's a Megan, too. Yours is Megan brisket. Megan Stallard. And I'll tell you, she never did anything with me. No. Yeah.
00:30:05
Neither did mine. But I'll tell you what song came out. What? When I found out that she Didn't like me.
00:30:10
Nothing compared to you by Conor. What a song. And I remember I had a [ __ ] Honda Civic.
00:30:16
Sure you did. Yeah, that makes sense. Well, I'm Korean. That math though. What? Well, you didn't have a Hyundai.
00:30:22
And they didn't have it back. They didn't have it. But I would have been in a Hyundai. You would if they had it. Oh, you would have You would have country committed.
00:30:28
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You would have You have to Are you Yeah. You have to country commit. You have to. Yeah. Yeah. as as an Asian, they have
00:30:35
to. It's really weird if they don't. Yeah. So, anyway, um and when Nothing Compared to You came out.
00:30:41
So good. I love sinking into sad music. Oh, yeah. I do, too. Do you? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Me. That's what it's for.
00:30:47
Yes. Yeah. It's for Especially it's it's for all that stuff when you you don't know how to say how you're feeling or you or
00:30:53
you're unwilling to try and like nothing compares to you. That song. Oh, yeah.
00:30:58
You got to be kidding me with that song. Yeah. I don't know what some of it means. Like Bubba.
00:31:03
Oh yeah. Bubba. Who's Bubba? It's not Bubba. What is it? It says mama.
00:31:09
What? Really? Yeah. It's not Bubba. Bubba would be like someone. Wait, wait, wait. It's got to be Bubba.
00:31:16
It's mama. It's mama. It is. So you think Wait, I just want I I need
00:31:21
to ask a question. Wait, wait, wait. I need to ask a question. All I You think you you thought until now it was
00:31:29
all the flowers that you planted Bubba. Now I want an answer. That's what I
00:31:35
thought it was. Oh my god. Because you thought Bubba was just some hill planted. Bubba. That's what I thought it was. And in my
00:31:41
mind always I'm like Bubba must have been the boyfriend of the guy that her No. No. That's the gardener.
00:31:48
Bubba the gardener. Bubba the gardener. Planted all the flowers in the overalls. All right. Your flowers
00:31:54
are done. Oh, you've never done that where you thought the lyric was one thing and now I do it all the time. I just I'm just
00:32:00
focusing on you right now. We're [ __ ] with you. All right. Thank you, Josh, for correcting me. It's mama. I like But my
00:32:06
I think it was very It's very cute that you thought that it was Bubba. Thank you. Because mama would have been a logical
00:32:12
jump. Easy. But you're like, "Fuck all that [ __ ] I'm going to Bubba's house." Bubba's house, baby.
00:32:17
Well, she's Irish. I thought Bubba was a term in Ireland. Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:23
Hey there, Bubba. Have a drink with me. Bubba, I I'm I'mrish and I and I I can tell you
00:32:28
that Bubba Bubba's not a thing. It says by Chenado Connor, but it's not. It's written by Prince. It's by Prince. Yes.
00:32:34
What is that? What's wrong? Why is it That's some Wikipedia [ __ ] right now. [ __ ] up. That's how you know not to trust whatever the [ __ ] Maybe it is
00:32:41
Bubba. Oh, maybe it is. See, it is Bubba. These lyrics are wrong. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. I knew that Prince wrote it.
00:32:46
You did. Maybe it was like a an urban thing. No. What's up, Bubba?
00:32:52
Yeah, I like music. We sung the song before you came in. I didn't even get to talk about the the song.
00:32:57
Oh, yeah. But it's called Put Me Down Easy. And it's by Is it about a dog?
00:33:02
Uh, sing it. Sing it to see if Josh knows what it is. That's insane. Am I going to [ __ ] sing in front of him? No. Sing it
00:33:08
in front of him. Sing it. Guys, don't fight over me. I'll go to Christmas. But look it up. This is what's
00:33:13
fascinating about it because when I first heard the song, I was It's a great song. It's beautiful. I like soul songs
00:33:19
that sound happy but are sad. That's one of my favorite things. So the music and the melody's kind of
00:33:24
uplifting, but then you read the words and you go, it's dark as [ __ ] I love it. So this song was written by Elsie Cook, none
00:33:30
other than Sam Cook's brother. Don't make it rougher and don't make me suffer. Put me down easy. Put me down easy. That's hard.
00:33:37
It's such a beautiful It's the It's like, you know, that's begging for mercy. And honestly, things like mercy,
00:33:44
those topics are the things I love the most to sing about. Yeah. Cuz they're so tragic, fragile,
00:33:52
so you know, and real though. They're so Yeah. Everyone you hear that every It's a universal feeling of like when you're
00:33:58
going to get broken up with or someone's going to go away in your life, you like the feeling, you know, that's coming. Oh
00:34:04
my god. Everyone's felt that. I don't care who you are, where you from, what you've done. And so, yes, this is the kind of [ __ ] I'll cry to if I really
00:34:10
want to get hit. Yeah, I like about Mercy, too. You are. You're a Mercy. Mercy, too. Yeah. Josh, is it Let me ask you, is it hard
00:34:16
to write lyrics? No, I mean, no, because I mean, imagine all the albums.
00:34:22
Hold on one second. Right. Did everyone just have a flashback to Chris Farley talking to Paul McCartney?
00:34:28
When you write songs, is it songs that you write when you write them? Are they songs? That's what you just said. No, that was a legit. I think it was a
00:34:34
legit. Nah, [ __ ] him. You suck. Shut up. No, that's no joke. Get a real question. What I'm saying?
00:34:39
Is it hard to write jokes? Yes. That's an annoying question. Oh, all right. No, but I I I the reason I actually like
00:34:46
this question. Don't do this. Don't do this. Let me Can I rephrase it? No, you don't need to. Okay. Thank you, Josh.
00:34:52
I think I think [ __ ] you, dude. You don't humil I'm a [ __ ] a fan. You're okay. Yeah. All right.
00:34:57
All right. I think it is extremely difficult sometimes. I find it I find it
00:35:02
challenging because I would like to say something especially as the years go on. I really want to say something
00:35:09
vulnerable in sort of in words that are kind of juicy and colorful and economical like I wanted to and some
00:35:15
things are actually hard. Sometimes you write words or you write jokes that you're like ah can I actually say this?
00:35:22
We we do that we say it we just will say it unfortunately. Unfortunately, yeah, all the [ __ ] time, you know, I I I'm
00:35:28
I'm cuz I want to say something and and I actually want someone to I want a
00:35:34
certain group of people to be annoyed or upset by what I've said. Oh, yeah. All right. In in the manner in which you say it,
00:35:40
you know. Yeah. Well, how about this? Tell me. It was a good question. I'm just teasing. I love you. That's okay. I let it go.
00:35:46
Okay. This is artist This is artist selfstroke stuff, but I do want to know in your opinion whether or not it was
00:35:52
the like universally received in that way. what's the song that you wrote that you're like that's the best song I've
00:35:57
ever written where you're like it's no doubt and people like there's jokes we talk about this sometimes comics will write a joke and it's not our best joke to them right
00:36:04
but I'm like that's so I love that joke and they may think it's they think another thing is funnier you know
00:36:09
I think you get familiar with something and so you're and you're I mean I'll
00:36:15
it's not exactly the answer to what you're saying but our our biggest song No one knows I don't get sick of playing
00:36:20
that ever and I find that annoying when when people uh are say, "Well, we're not
00:36:28
going to play this anymore." I I think it's somehow I love our audience, even though I hate
00:36:34
groups of people, you know, I I Yeah. You know, I get it.
00:36:40
We can't [ __ ] stand these guys in the window. I'm just highly suspect of not just them. Yeah.
00:36:46
But Yes, them. And and but I I'm highly suspect of of groups of people, you
00:36:52
know. They're dangerous. I it's it feels like the mob. Yeah. And and and I know that we're asking for
00:36:57
groups of individuals, which doesn't make any sense, you know. You know, I would like a bunch of But I
00:37:02
would like a few people from each click. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like we just played in Madison. Do you ever go to Madison to do shows?
00:37:09
Love Madison, Wisconsin. [ __ ] love. It's one of the best cities ever. It's one of the best cities in America,
00:37:14
hands down. And our audience is so bananas. It was like a grandpa, the grandson.
00:37:20
[ __ ] goth girls. [ __ ] love go and then you know like tweakers, bikers,
00:37:25
hippies. Yeah. You know like uh you know college kids
00:37:31
such it was such a like a hometown buffet. Yeah. Oh wow. You know. Yeah.
00:37:36
And and and I just thought, "Oh my god, we're this is this is the type of group I like." Perfect. You know, it's like a picking
00:37:42
of all of the people. So I have a couple of dumb questions I can ask before I forget. No, but no, no.
00:37:47
for for Josh. I have a couple of questions if I may I've been thinking about. Okay.
00:37:52
Uh if I may, they're dumb questions. It's going to be better than the writing one that questions. It was an intro question.
00:37:58

Jones is telling story and and you realize it's about Led Zeppelin. It's the That's the only other band he's been

00:39:29
the squad, he's like, "We call ourselves the Cowboys." And I just told him, I was like, "That's the gayest thing I've ever
00:39:34
seen." And and I I don't care, but I'm just saying, "Guess what it is. I don't
00:39:39
care." Yeah. You know, um any any hoodles? Uh, I'm driving home and I had uh a Magnum.

00:40:35
I that's when I made it worse. Right. What what did you do? I just told him that was the gay super gay. Right.
00:40:42
Right. And then and I was like, "Why do I care what you call yourselves?" He's like he's like, "Wait till you see

00:42:36
little scrawny kid that was clearly a tweaker. Yeah, trust me, I know.
00:42:43
And and uh and uh he so and and I said, "Why don't you just chill out, you
00:42:50

[ __ ] to me. So I just said, "What are you going to do? Like hit me with your fat. I don't know what you're going to Oh my god, Josh. What the fuck?"
00:43:03
And then escalate escalate. Escalate. Why? But he wasn't cuz he was not scary. He's

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know. Okay. And then this window opens and this really gnarly looking gal, she was like,
00:43:38
"I will mace both of you if you move." And I was like, "I believe you." You
00:43:45
know, like I don't not believe you right now. I know you're saying stuff and I hear
00:43:51
this stuff and I'm interested in what you're saying. Yeah. And so I just didn't move and uh and he
00:43:59
looked at me and he was like he said under his breath and so I just blew him a kiss and and everyone got to sit down.
00:44:05
Oh my god. But it was a and you know we ate baloney sandwiches and talked about times. It
00:44:11
was it was fine. It all worked out. It when was this was this the first night of the
00:44:17
vultures recording session. So then I go into the recording session the next day and I've been up all night. Jones is
00:44:24
there, Dave's there. And I walk in, I'm a little disheveled in the same clothes because I wasn't going to I didn't want
00:44:30
to be late. So proper. Well, I like [ __ ] the Cowboys. I will be
00:44:36
on time. Well, that's the you know, I just I don't know. That's that's me though. I I

So I go there and Joan says, "What happened?" And I said, "I'm I just got out of jail." And he goes, "Oh." Like
00:44:50
this on clutching his pearls. And he goes, "Oh." And I thought he was going to be a little disgusted. He's
00:44:56
like, "Oh, let me make some tea. Tell me all about it." And I realized that he made me tea. I
00:45:01
realized he's kind of a goth dude himself. He's like a little bit of a dark lord. Wow. And the wilder I got, the more he was
00:45:08
like, I love you. Wow. Which was good. Earl Grey, English preface.

00:48:53

00:48:59
We we we talk about every day I say are we done yet? Yeah. Or you know what sometimes I'll say I go

Hold on. Let me get my glasses. Hold on. Let him put on his glasses. Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. So, we got He didn't even get to put on his
00:49:43
glasses. You know, I'm no doctor. I'm no doctor, but also I'm not a doctor. All
00:49:50
right. So, I have my other question is this nurse. Yeah, you're right. Maybe if
00:49:55
I was arrested, I shouldn't bring up my name. No, you will. I know you you would in a heartbeat, but that's okay. That's And if you're jailed, don't show your
00:50:02
[ __ ] Don't do that. Okay. All right. Don't do that. Just eat the baloney sandwich. Okay. Okay. Just eat the baloney sandwich.
00:50:07
Keep things straight. All right. So, yeah. Just eat it and be quiet. My second My second question would be, Eat it and be quiet is a great
00:50:13
Eat it and be quiet. What a great thing to say in a general sense. Yeah. Eat it, be quiet. Yeah. My second question would be
00:50:20
because I've been following you for a very long time. I saw you outside my house. Yeah. And um I noticed over the years you've
00:50:28
always been around comedy cuz I remember back in the day I used to see you at Largo. Yeah. You mean on Monday nights and stuff,
00:50:33
right? So you've always surrounded yourself with comedy, you know what I mean? I see you at the store. I see you
00:50:39
at clubs and stuff. What is it about comedy that you that you're like you're a huge fan obviously?
00:50:45
Yeah. I I you know when I was uh when I was nine in that year which I was nine I
00:50:50
saw two separate shows of the desert and I saw my my old man were with my grandparents. No one ever swore in my
00:50:58
family you know around each other and my dad was like George Carlin is funny right. Wow.
00:51:03
And I was like I don't I don't know. I'm nine. I think it was rhetorical. Yeah.
00:51:08
Yeah. But I I got a this giant yellow looked like I won a golf tournament, men's jacket that they loan to you. So
00:51:16
here I was like a small child in an adult man's world and we had great seats
00:51:24
like third row. Wow. Wow. You know, and it was it was tables back then and I saw Fred Travalina or was it
00:51:32
Fred or Judy Tanuda? Judy open for George Carlin. Wow. and
00:51:37
and it changed my life because I realized all in this moment that talking
00:51:42
about things that hurt and are difficult and laughing about it that gallows humor
00:51:47
and you know George was as I don't have to tell you anything but his use of language like you know get on the plane
00:51:55
Mr. Carlin, [ __ ] you. I'm getting in the plane. Leave that for the daredevils. That that twisting of words
00:52:01
and using them correctly. Yeah. And the notion of being a good communicator. We're talking it's important. It's so
00:52:08
hard to be understood and to understand someone in this life. It's so fleeting. And so being a good communicator and
00:52:14
being good with your words start really meant something to me from that moment forward, you know. And also I saw Rodney
00:52:21
Dangerfield with Fred Travalina opening and Ronnie got booed off stage. Now I
00:52:27
had never I didn't know that that was possible that the crowd could be like [ __ ] this. Yeah,
00:52:33
that that's enough of this. Yeah. And and chase you off stage. It's your
00:52:39
[ __ ] show. Yeah. But he was doing the same stuff which I had grown up with watching Carson and
00:52:45
you know Yeah. And um when that was happening, how did you feel when he was being booted off? I was scared. I was scared because I was
00:52:51
little and I and I thought, "Oh my god, something's going to h what's what does it mean? What does this mean?" And I I
00:52:57
think that's why I've always had an attack um style with the audience. It's
00:53:02
softened over the years, but I grew up on Iggy Pop and all this stuff where concerts were scary.
00:53:09
You know, you go to punk rock shows, they're scary. That's that mob thing you were talking about, though. It is very much like I
00:53:14
just did a show last night and it's a lot. It was a lot of people. 19,000. It wasn't my show.
00:53:20
[ __ ] great though. 19,000 people. Well, Shane Gill is shout out to Shane, not me. But I popped up on his show. But
00:53:26
you do have a moment. You're prepared. We've been doing it for a long time. Was that in town? No, it was in San Jose.
00:53:31
But you feel you're like prepared for it. You're excited to do your [ __ ]
00:53:37
But there is a second that you get on stage and you see all those people and you're like, "Yeah, they can turn on you." Yeah,
00:53:42
they if if they're if you're not, you have to be on your toes leaning into them and they have to be on their heels.
00:53:48
So, I got booed off a stage in front of 16 17,000 people where in San Jose,
00:53:54
not during your show last night. But yeah, what are the chances? I don't remember that at all.
00:53:59
Like, why is that even a real thing? It was probably like 15 years ago. It was community in it. Big Asian community
00:54:06
there, too. Yeah. But but this show was called the Dog House Comedy Jam. That's all Asians. No. And it was um Chappelle, Cat
00:54:13
Williams, was a food thing. Carlos Mensia and I So Leslie Jones when she was young
00:54:19
was before me and she jumped off the stage and she dry humped of like a 16-year-old white kid in the audience.
00:54:26
That's your bit. [Laughter] Not with her butthole. And you could
00:54:33
hear you could hear the walls shaking shaking. Oh, she's crushing. She was crushing that hard, you know.
00:54:38
Yeah. And I looked at when someone's hard to follow. Yeah. Yeah. I looked at Jeff Wills, you know, I mean, the guy, you know, I mean, at
00:54:44
Live Nation, and I go, "You think it's going to go well for me? Cuz I don't think so." Right. Right. And he goes, "You'll be
00:54:49
fine." 2 minutes in, they just booed me off stage. I And then
00:54:54
I started doing gibberish. I started going, "I got Right." And then I literally just turned
00:55:00
around. I started cry like starting a Honda. Yeah.
00:55:06
Yeah. And I walked off stage and in still to this day I don't know what I
00:55:12
did wrong. You didn't do anything. I think it was just doomed from the beginning. Well, some things can only get so high
00:55:18
and then they must drop off the cliff. That's right. We played um what's it called? Neil Young had this
00:55:24
thing bridge school benefit and and the request is everyone must play acoustic. That's fine. Yeah. Happy with that.
00:55:31
Two night it's two nights in a row. Play the first night. Killed it. Had a blast. And then the the second night the lineup
00:55:38
changed and the person playing in front of us directly asked for that slot
00:55:44
because they wanted to play and leave but they wanted it to be dark. They wanted it to be nighttime.
00:55:49
Oh, right. Can you name this person? The person was Tom [ __ ] Weights.
00:55:55
Wow. So I and I said, "Okay,
00:56:00
that sucks." Yeah. And I love it when people try to reassure you that don't know what
00:56:06
they're talking about. Oh, it's gonna be fine, man. You That sounds like you on the
00:56:13
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's coming? And I And I was like, I I foolishly watched him play as well.
00:56:19
And he's going, he starts a song, then he'll be like, you know, I'm only he'd stop. I'm only doing this cuz I owe Neil
00:56:26
money. You know, it's like a comedy routine, a show. vail all wrapped up
00:56:32
into one [ __ ] enormous dill don't because I
00:56:38
don't want to follow that. Yeah. How long did you have to do it for the set? Too long. It was It was probably like 40
00:56:45
minutes, but I think we kept Wow. You know, you closed it. We kept No, we were, you know, there was
00:56:51
We were like second from the top or third from the top or something. And after us was Crosby Steels's Nash and
00:56:56
Young. Holy where it was like we were the the cream filling in a a terrible
00:57:02
cream filling in the double stuff from hell that was just not
00:57:07
what am I supposed to do? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I just, you know, Oh, so even you guys have bad. We're playing
00:57:13
deep cuts, you know. I I got to play something different every night. I can't [ __ ] I
00:57:18
can't I can't I'll [ __ ] lose it. And so we can't play what killed the night before.
00:57:24
That's cuz that's the night in case there's repeat. There could be five repeat people and I'm like, well, they need to
00:57:29
see something else, you know? And I I I actually I love insurmountable odds,
00:57:34
you know. So that's why we're not really a metal band. We're not really an alternative band, but but I'll
00:57:41
play any I'll play anywhere, especially if I'm not supposed to be there.
00:57:46
Do you even more even more uh titilating to be where you're not supposed to be a little bit? Yeah.
00:57:51
Or or doing something, you know, like last night, Chris Okconor, you know, my [ __ ] my boy. Yeah. He, you know, he
00:57:57
knows that when he does this joke, and I'm not doing I'll never I don't want to do somebody else a joke, but he knows
00:58:03
when he does it, they're going to be pissed off because at the core of it, he says it's very brilliantly written, but
00:58:09
he says in some way or another that like it's a [ __ ] Trump, a little bit of a [ __ ] Trump thing, but he knows that that
00:58:15
audience is going to boo him, right? And 19,000 people did,
00:58:20
but he's smiling and it's [ __ ] unreal. Wow. It was the funniest. I think it's
00:58:26
powerful. Oh, it was so rad cuz he's cracking up. He's laughing audly as they're booing
00:58:31
and then it in turn made them laugh after because he's enjoying. No, it's it was perfect. I told him I
00:58:38
was like, "Dude, that's the [ __ ] coolest shit." Cuz he was like, "Yeah, you're going to be mad at this." And then he goes into it and I'm thinking,
00:58:44
"Oh, he's just going to tell this, you know, tell this this joke, this good joke." But then when he starts taking the shots cuz he just wants to he wants
00:58:51
to feel the thing, right? Well, I think this is why I'm to your original question, I think this is
00:58:56
why I love comedy so much. And I I look at it as it's it's really it's it's the you know
00:59:04
the gallows humor about the philosophy and difficulties of life, right? And and so I I see this value. I love the sort
00:59:11
of comedy renaissance that's been happening for all you guys have done so well, you know, because I think it's
00:59:17
it's important that this is big and is a feature and it's
00:59:22
it's such a different night out, too, just going out to something like that. I like to be a fan of things. I like to
00:59:28
love the things I love and just enjoy them. And and I I always would go to Largo because I was doing I'd be the only
00:59:34
musician doing benefits with a bunch of comedians. Wow. Yeah. you know, um
00:59:39
because I don't I don't take myself that seriously. I take what I do seriously, but I don't really that means I don't
00:59:45
need to take myself seriously, you know, and so um I just think uh and I think a
00:59:51
lot of you know, so I' I've known a lot of comedians for a lot of years, you know, and I think there's a little
00:59:56
overlap. I know a bunch of comedians that want to be musicians, you know. Oh my god. Yeah. Some of them are some of them are
01:00:01
good. Well, how about this? Every this is a bad theory. I'm not going to articulate it well, but every comic wishes they
01:00:08
were a rock star and every rockstar kind of has a little comic in them. It's like they have this weird crossover and you
01:00:14
see it when you go to Largo cuz a lot of times there was pairing with comics musicians. Well, you you I've been in bands. You've
01:00:19
never been in a band. I I I was I played with friends, but we were never a band when I played when we
01:00:24
were young, but I was we were so bad. We were like, we can't show anybody this.
01:00:29
I'm not kidding. We literally shout out Adam Nicholas. We should go to his we should go to his mom's house. And I was
01:00:34
like, we were so [ __ ] bad. We just didn't care. Yeah. Because we weren't doing it. We didn't
01:00:40
want to make music because we were going to go show it to somebody. But isn't that the key though? I think, you know, music is interesting because
01:00:46
it's a bit like bowling. Like you don't need to be good to enjoy it. Yeah. Just doing it. It was just fun. We thought it was fun.
01:00:53
But we were very self-aware because my mom sometimes would be like, "Are you guys still practicing?"
01:01:00
I was like, "Yeah, we're jamming." She's like, "That's cuz she wanted you to stop." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was very honest.
01:01:06
Stop practicing. What if we didn't have drums here anymore? Yeah. My dad was My dad was actually
01:01:11
very rad. They were both rad about it. But my dad didn't give a [ __ ] He was like, "Whatever, dude. [ __ ] smack the [ __ ] out." He didn't He couldn't care
01:01:17
less. I think when you're doing that, you're not doing something else. Well, we weren't doing drugs and getting in trouble. Yeah.
01:01:22
Well, we were doing drugs and playing music, but we weren't getting arrested. I I think because I was doing all those
01:01:28
things until a couple years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that that um it is certainly like a
01:01:34
healthy exit strategy. And and honestly, you know, in my family, it's like uh when something
01:01:40
difficult would happen, it would be like we'll cry and be upset later, but we don't have time for that now. There's things to do. And I I respect that and I
01:01:47
appreciate that. Um uh that's Irish, by the way. That's Irish in a nutshell. That's Irish.
01:01:53
We'll cry about that when everybody's dead and gone. Yeah. First, we got to bury this body. There's no time for that [ __ ] There's no time to cry,
01:01:58
right? And so I turn out the lights so everyone can conspire, make out, [ __ ]
01:02:04
party, hang, do whatever. And and because I think escapism is a devalued commodity.
01:02:10
So these things where they're under the guise of escapism, but you're really
01:02:15
getting these lyrics that are vulnerable and real or you're getting comedy that's about something real that you should be
01:02:23
thinking about. this is the way to the spoonful of sugar that makes the
01:02:29
medicine go down to me. And so I think escapism should be elevated, you know?
01:02:34
Yeah. That escapism is pretty powerful. I mean, I you say it so profoundly, but like I do love the biggest pet peeve for
01:02:41
me. I mean, we talk about it is when there's a lot when there's light in the room, I really get a little shaky.
01:02:47
Yeah. And so, like I just shot a special and one of the biggest things that we had to deal with was the lighting. It was lighting. And so, uh,
01:02:54
but is it the same when the 19000? Cuz it's the spots of the thing. Oh, we pitched. I mean, again, that's
01:02:59
Shane's show. So, like his lighting package was whatever he wanted, but it's it's what I would have done, too. It's like it was it was Are you okay?
01:03:05
No, you guys, you know, I've never done I'm doing a special too for Hulu. Not this is his first one. Why? Why?
01:03:12
Because I'm doing it now. I'm doing it now. Yeah. Okay, that's Yeah. Yeah. Josh, I'm doing it now.
01:03:17
It was just a Y. Yeah. And it's called Finally. I didn't mean to. My special is going to be called Finally. Yeah, that makes sense.
01:03:22
A great name. I can't believe you're announcing this. So, I'm now because I'm now lighting. There goes my album title.
01:03:28
That's it. You know, I shouldn't have [ __ ] told you. I know. I didn't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
01:03:35
So, um So, I'm learning now about what I want. I I think I want it dark, but I also want the audience around me.
01:03:42
You want to be surrounded. I kind of want them there. Sure. You know what I mean? Where I'm kind of in in a theater. Can you do that?
01:03:48
Yeah, of course. You can do whatever you want. set up in the middle. There's places you could Yeah. Yeah. where I can just have them
01:03:54
stacked around me as well. Yeah. Well, but there's also some of these specials like Maria Bamford, some of her
01:04:00
stuff where it's so small or Sarah's done something at Largo that was really tiny, too.
01:04:05
Maria did her parents' house one time. I mean, it was in her mom's living room. I [ __ ] love her. I just Me, too. I've
01:04:11
never mental illness on display in such a beautiful way. Yeah. And the voices.
01:04:17
Yeah. She's incredible. She's [ __ ] incredible. As a musician, are you afraid of AI?
01:04:22
I I I don't use AI and I today I heard the guy from Google, the head guy from
01:04:28
Google AI quit and he had this it really bummed me out. Normally I'm dump get
01:04:34
bummed out by things like this. Yeah, but this already sounds like it's going to be a bummer. It's a It's a bummer. It's a bummer. It's a bummer because he got scared of
01:04:41
the future and he was Yeah. And he was he was like, "We're now the second smartest thing on the planet. We made this algorithm and it knows how
01:04:47
to solve things we don't understand. And he said something like 150 million people need to die to turn it off. I was
01:04:53
like, "Holy fuck." And I don't norm Well, let's go through which country could die, I guess. 15. Well, I was like, "Do we start in
01:05:00
Fresno? I don't know. Not California." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I actually like Fresno, too. Yeah, I do too.
01:05:06
Yeah. There's a great theater there with a good audience. Trying to think of a place where we How do we get rid of 150?
01:05:11
Where are you playing? San Diego. San Diego. No, no. San Diego's great. Um, wonder if I don't know, dude.
01:05:17
Countries by population don't in Asia, they don't they have enough. There's chunks of Asia we can get.
01:05:22
They have enough. Yeah. Yeah. In Asia, they have enough Asians. Okay. There is a lot of Asian.
01:05:28
What if we just knock out Brazil? If we just knock out Brazil
01:05:33
Pakistan butts. Pakistan. No, no, no, no, no, no. They have nukes. They have nukes. They have nukes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:39
What about the first one? What's the first one say? China. China. They got 1.4 4 billion.
01:05:44
That's way more than we need. How about every country? We That's how we negotiate, dude. It's way We We need a small fraction of
01:05:50
No, 10% every So, China 10%. We do a deal. That's fair. China 10,
01:05:55
India 10, US, United States 10, Indonesia 10. We're good. 10%. We're good there. Yeah. No, just 10
01:06:00
people. Oh, that's There's enough countries and we get to choose. Yeah. And it's like, you Gary, get over
01:06:06
here. No, [ __ ] Really? Yeah, dude. It's your time. But in terms of like, you know, um
01:06:12
sometimes I'll just do a playlist and an AI band will appear. I mean, are you scared of it replacing music?
01:06:19
Someone sent me some dirty Elton John stuff that AI had done and and I found it staggeringly too good.
01:06:26
Yeah, it's scary. Um, you know, um um you know, I'm hoping I I my grandpa
01:06:33
always had this saying, if you can't outsmart them out, dumb them. And I think I I sort of extrapolated that for music. If you can't outsmart
01:06:40
them, out weird them. Yeah. And so I I I hope that when I'm out dumbing and out weirding that I'm more
01:06:46
stupider and more weirder than AI would naturally go. I Right. Hopefully it's shooting high and I can
01:06:53
just keep going low. Go way low. What is this? Is this an AI band? Some of those are new AI bands that have
01:06:58
creeped up on my PlayState play list. Paper Sun Rebellion. Well, it's that's clearly an AI name.
01:07:03
Yeah, that one they have. That's [ __ ] terrible. I know. Paper Sun Rebellion. And they have
01:07:08
372,000 monthly listeners. I mean, are you [ __ ] kidding me? Holy [ __ ] Yeah. But I mean, what what [ __ ]
01:07:16
[ __ ] is listening to that [ __ ] Yeah. You know what I mean? What the [ __ ] I know.
01:07:21
Like, and I and I So, somebody somebody when we're That's the band.
01:07:26
Yeah. Oh my god, they're so hot. Look at there's one of of each. Look at the Look at the sort of like
01:07:32
book reader in the middle. Yeah. We got to get Yeah. Yeah. You know, there's the Mills likely one.
01:07:39
Then the drummer on the far right. Drummer's far right. And the guy clearly the piano player.
01:07:44
Yeah. The the the blonde guy is this is like the Luke Wilson theory where you're like he's not handsome, is he? That's what
01:07:51
that is. He's Tom Petty's nephew. Yeah. That's right. Right. Right. And the front man is obviously like this
01:07:57
perfect homogenization of [ __ ] like every you What is he? Everything. Yeah. He's just all the stuff. But see,
01:08:03
I can't stand music that's like that either, where there's like a rap verse and this and then it goes over the like,
01:08:08
who are you trying to I I think you can't try to impress. The goal is to
01:08:14
try to be yourself, right? And this is such a deliberate Look at that. Look at that. That obvious look at the old school gear plus the
01:08:20
computer. That That's exactly my [ __ ] problem. My [ __ ] problem with all this
01:08:26
[ __ ] It's [ __ ] Yeah. Is that It's like we'll give we'll give them a little of everything. It's like
01:08:32
look at Stephen Hawkings. You're not giving anyone anything. But they won't replace live though. And
01:08:38
that's right. I mean a Well, here come the holograms. Although I hear the ABBA thing is [ __ ] amazing. Is it?
01:08:43
I I hear it is from people that I actually like. That's scary. I don't like that. Well, we have, you know, Howie Mandel has that technology.
01:08:50
You know, the technology they used for Tupac at [ __ ] Coachella years ago. Yeah. How Mandel owns that tech at his studio.
01:08:56
You've seen it, right? Yeah, I've seen it. Yeah. cuz he he can touch a hologram without getting any germs. Yeah, exactly.
01:09:03
He hugs holograms. I've been fingering that Tupac one. I didn't get anything on me, which is so
01:09:10
different than your butthole where I was covered. Yes. Yes. Tupac ain't nothing but a gangster party.
01:09:16
Yeah, that's the most gangster thing ever, right? It's [ __ ] so gross and weird and creepy and but he's I saw it and it
01:09:21
[ __ ] me up, man. It's It's so Look at that unfortunate picture though of ABBA and their suits.
01:09:26
Wow. That that didn't need to be commemorated. They don't they look like velvet sundown velvet
01:09:32
paper echoes of Yeah. Wow. Uh I I don't Why did they take that [ __ ] photo?
01:09:38
I'd have been like, "No, we're not [ __ ] taking this photo." Yeah. Like put this one out. I look depressed.
01:09:44
Sweden's cool. Yeah. That's so Was that the Go back. Was that the Was that them in AI?
01:09:49
That's them in AI. As [ __ ] as [ __ ] Not looking like the other photo. No. Yeah. Look at
01:09:56
so [ __ ] weird. AI don't like that. Yeah. No, man. But it's we have to find
01:10:01
a way to Well, it's here. That's the thing. You know, I I I think the biggest thing I've
01:10:07
been working on my whole life is just accepting what is and not trying to
01:10:13
you you're just not in control. What can you do? I know. Well, we you know what we do? We do the same thing that you do what you
01:10:18
referenced with politics is like, well, it's just [ __ ] [ __ ] But I'm just going to do my continue to do my own thing anyway. Cuz the less you pay
01:10:24
attention to it, I have a creepy assumption that it will start to really
01:10:29
kind of dissipate. If we stop giving it anything, it then it'll continue to exist. But if people don't give it
01:10:35
anything anymore, it's just going to be its own. Every night I talked to ChatBT for like 5 hours a night. How do you do that?
01:10:40
I talked to her not right now. Why don't Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever talked to Chacht? No, I don't own it. Yeah. I'm actually
01:10:47
really proud I still So, I'll do this. Like I've turned I've turned it off. I I'm good. I don't want to know the stuff
01:10:52
I don't know. Hey, um Ch Hey, um has Arsenal signed any forwards yet? What What's her name?
01:10:58
I don't know yet. I haven't named her. But she's named herself. I can guess. Why is she clicking? What is this? It's African.
01:11:05
African AI. That's what it stands for. African intelligence. Maybe. Do you want to know about Arsenal's move
01:11:11
forward? I don't want to know. All right. So, you're not going to
01:11:17
promote anything, but No. Okay. We We played in the catacombs of Paris. The first people to ever do
01:11:22
it. So cool. And it just came out. Awesome. And and and um if you'd like to, you can
01:11:27
check it out. If not, it's cool. Okay. Have I went to the catacombs one times in one time in um uh uhh uhum
01:11:36
uh sketchy Italy. Why can't I think No, no, no. sketchier. Way sketchier. Uh
01:11:41
Napoli. Napoli. Yeah, that's true. No, that's right. I went to the catacombs in in Napoli and the guy was like, "Hey man,
01:11:47
go during the" It is true. Isn't that insane that you guess that? I can't believe it. No, but that's the city. That would be the city, dude. It's awesome. But I love I love
01:11:54
The guy was like, "Hey, man. When you Oh, Sanjiaro. That's it, right?" And the guy goes, "When you go there," he's like, "Go during the day." And I was
01:12:00
like, "Why? You could go at night." Yeah, you can go at night. They light it up. And he's like, he's like, "When you
01:12:06
go there, go during the day." And I was like, "Why?" He's like, "Well, it's in a pretty tough neighborhood." And I'm thinking, there's a piece of me that's
01:12:11
like, "Oh, man. I'm [ __ ] I've lived in cities my whole life. Like, I I'll be okay." And for sure when it got dusk, I
01:12:16
was with my wife and I was like, I kind of like it like that a little. We We're We're This is Is this bad?
01:12:21
We're going to get [ __ ] robbed. And she was like genuinely nervous. I was like, "We're getting your wallet taken is only the beginning." Yeah. That's how it starts.
01:12:28
Yeah. But that that in those regions, I kind of feel like sexy, dirty. Yeah. I feel alive, you know? I'm ready
01:12:33
to roll, you know? I think as a former druggie it's like that's that's my comfort zone.
01:12:38
You want a little a little bit of uneasiness to it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because like when you go to a museum it's it's so sterile that
01:12:45
you're it's almost it's just hard to like get engaged sometimes. There's too many people and it's sterile and bright and boring. This was like creepy and
01:12:51
dark. It's very weird. I I also think that you know and I love museums but I can only do a you know
01:12:56
three hours or something like that in and out and and and because um it's such a exalted thing you're looking at. It's it
01:13:03
can be hard to relate to. You go to the catacombs, it's what you will be. Yeah. It's your own experience.
01:13:09
And you know, all you know, I just saw this movie 29 28 years later. Well, what what would you like it?
01:13:14
Um, it was interesting. It was a different take than I was expecting, but there was one part that was really there was a momento mory, you know, all these
01:13:21
skulls and all this stuff. And the one thing that was interesting, okay, that's the Paris one. That's so cool.
01:13:26
And and and that's where we played in in these locations you're seeing.
01:13:32
Wow. That's [ __ ] I wouldn't want my skull to be in a nice place, but Yeah, we'll get you up front.
01:13:37
Like in the Yeah, in the circle. And And you know what? I guarant there I want mine there. Yeah. Like right in the center.
01:13:42
Yeah. Facing out. See that one on top? That'll be you. I'll move it'll be flat. You'll know. And I'll bury your I'll bury your
01:13:49
butthole somewhere deep. Yeah. Okay. Good. Good. Thank you. Thank you. It is It is scary to It's It's There's something about it that's like uh not
01:13:56
scary. It's It was shocking to me how still it felt. I wasn't freaked out. It
01:14:02
was very It was almost calm, but the calm is what's a little odd that you're like, "Wow, this is It should be intense, but it was very
01:14:08
kind of like I don't even know." You know, you know, it feels like desert nights. That's a weird But you love You
01:14:14
from there. Yeah. I I lived in Arizona for the desert night is so still, but you're also like Yeah. But something
01:14:19
it's out there. Yeah. Well, I think I think one of the main stays of a desert
01:14:24
night like that is you feel small. Yeah. The environment is massive. you. It's the the environment is very dominant and
01:14:30
so you're there's something of a relief in realizing I'm doing my little part.
01:14:37
Yeah. But I I but um I'm not as significant
01:14:42
and it makes your little part important. Oh yeah. You know, and so when I was in there too, that's how I felt. I that
01:14:49
space is so dominating. Yeah. We played there. Yeah. Uh, like there was one moment when
01:14:54
I first got in there, I just kind of went off in a corner, got on my knees, put my head down, and was like, I promise to try as hard as I can, and I I
01:15:02
promise to do as good a job as I can. Yeah. And and I and I because And we played songs that was like, what would I want
01:15:08
to hear if I was stuck in here, you know? I'd want to hear about my family. I'd want to hear about difficulties,
01:15:13
acceptance, you know, and moving on. And so that's what we did. But I felt small in there, you know what
01:15:20
I mean? Yeah. And I and I and I I I kind of cherish those moments to, you know,
01:15:26
like I said, I feel blessed to kind of do what we do. So in there it was like I know what to do for you, you know, and
01:15:33
and and and also in those moments I'm like I could just be myself. There's nothing else I can I've got nothing else
01:15:38
to give, you know? And so I I I kind of I'm looking for the next moment to try
01:15:44
to feel that for a second. Wow. You know, it's heavy, dude. Yeah. And we and we show our butthole. my
01:15:50
butthole on on today's episode. Yeah, the justosition like if you're doing a trailer, it's like on tonight's episode.
01:15:58
I know. Catacombs buttholes. Josh and Sant reveal their feelings.
01:16:04
Sant Bobby reveal Bobby. All right. I regret showing it. You know what? I I I read it wrong.
01:16:10
No. No. I thought we were closed. We It's the window into your feelings. All right. Anyway,
01:16:15
it's like the glass bottom book. All right. So Josh, look into the camera and go, "Thank you for being a bad friend. Thank you for being a bad
01:16:21
friend.
