00:08:27
lot. Well, yeah. Why do you think that is? Because I'm 100% hide.
00:08:33
No. You think I'm jackal sometimes? No, let's be real. Get [ __ ] You [ __ ] you. You think I'm jackal
00:08:40
sometimes? You are. You're doing it right now. Look at the shirt you're wearing, too. This Iron Maiden [ __ ] runs.
00:08:47
Such a good song. It's great. The trooper. Great song. I want to I want to say this, though. Can you get more lighters? What are you
00:08:53
doing with all I'll tell you why. Why? There's nothing worse in the world when you're in your
00:08:59
car. Who How many smokers are here? Three, Richie. Right. Isn't there nothing in
00:09:05
the You have cigarettes. You're in the car. You smoke? I know. Yeah.
00:09:11
You smoke cigarettes? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he does. Look at him. How long have you been smoking? Well, I actually I started probably like
00:09:17
sophomore year high school. And what are you now? A senior now? I'm Yes.
00:09:23
No. How old are you now? 24. Yeah. Wow. He he has some time. He doesn't look like a smoker. Yeah, I just realized who he is.
00:09:30
Every generation, Buddy Holly. Close. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. But the generation after that is who he
00:09:37
is is Robert Crumb. Who the [ __ ] Who's Look up Robert Crumb, dude. The cartoonist.
00:09:42
The cartoonist. There lies the man. He's a He's young Robert.
00:09:47
Dude, that's Robert. Come on, dude. You're young Robert Crumb. Dude, you're young Robert Crumb, dude. That is a fact,
00:09:53
dude. It's a fact, dude. That's very funny. and you don't draw. So that's not that's not good. That's not good. He can draw
00:10:00
like a [ __ ] So my panic is when you're in the car and you don't have a lighter and then
00:10:06
you're just kind of looking around for one. So what I do is I buy three or four and just scatter them around the the car.
00:10:11
Smart. That's what I'm saying. Being mindful. Yeah. When I used to smoke pot, what I would do is I would buy a lot of
00:10:17
lighters and then I would give them to my friends because I know they'd get back to me. What do you mean by that? Because when
00:10:24
you smoke weed with people, you're always like giving lighter. Carlos knows. You're giving your lighters away and then they come back to you eventually.
00:10:30
They come back to you in the mail. What are you talking about? So when you smoke a lot of pot with your group of pot friends. Yeah. But you
00:10:37
weren't like alone. I did it alone. Yeah. It wasn't your thing. Like we get we would get high with uh sit around a couch.
00:10:43
Well, go to some guy's house or go to in a car. And so what ends up happening is you smoke pot with the same like 10 to
00:10:48
12 people. And that's a lot of people. Well, I mean like that's a big pot group. No. No, I I would call it a coven.
00:10:54
Your core your core pot group is like two to three people, but then there's a
00:11:00
chunk of people you would run into in high school and we'd smoke pot with that group of people and then that group like the hippies. If I went over to [ __ ]
00:11:06
uh uh Paul's house, hey, I'm Paul, dude. Um, bro, you want to come over, dude? We're having a pot
00:11:11
club. Yeah, you do. There going to be about 12 of us, dude. Yeah, 100%. Yeah. Bring your lighter, dude.
00:11:17
I'll bring it. Yeah. Okay. And guess what, guy? What? Eventually, you'll get it back.
00:11:24
Okay. Yeah. And that's what you do. Bring one lighter, hand it to I have a bunch of lighters. I just hand them out to friends and then I go, "This
00:11:30
is gonna come back to me." And eventually you'll be smoking a bowl stoned and you'll go, "This is my lighter, man."
00:11:36
Years later or how long? Sometimes it's months. Sometimes it's a full year. And someone will be like, "That is your [ __ ] lighter, man."
00:11:42
Right. I get that. You gave it to me at Paul's garage. Yeah. I just handed it to you to light
00:11:48
the bowl. Yeah. But but this is what happens when you're smoking pot. The point I'm making is you you give someone a lighter to get
00:11:53
high, they put in their pocket, you all get stoned, you forget it existed. So if you buy strangers lighters that you get high with, you will get them back.
00:11:59
Right. But you know what I do now? I buy the ones with a symbol on it. Was that Chinese?
00:12:05
No, I'm just saying anything because this green one, somebody can go, "No, dude. I just bought this."
00:12:10
I go, "But this one, the cherries. Come on, dude. That's my lighter. That's your lighter. Cherry boy
00:12:16
lighter." Yeah. Anyway, while I didn't Yeah. Now I get why it comes around. It always comes back. What are you
00:12:21
drinking? Coffee. Iced coffee. Yeah. Why? You never have coffee this late.
00:12:26
What's the line of questioning, pal? You got something going on later tonight? I have a couple of shows tonight, guy. You going to cancel those, too?
00:12:32
No, I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there because if I don't, what you know, they cry. And one of them.
00:12:37
Who? The fans. Guys, the promoters. Oh, the promoters. Yeah. You know, if people don't know
00:12:43
about the LA comedy game now, 70% of it is promoters, I'd say.
00:12:48
So, you'll get like six guy. There's like six guys. There's one girl that's really good.
00:12:54
Sarah Melo. Oh, she's the best. She's the best. Yeah. But there's a couple of guys that are a little um
00:13:00
they're like um student loan people. Lone sharks. Lone sharks. Yeah. Like or if you leave
00:13:07
the Mormon church, right, they constantly call. They're going to come get you. Yeah. Yeah. I go, "How come you haven't
00:13:12
been back to the sermon, buddy?" Mhm. It's been 2 years. Where are you and why are you not here? Yeah. And and here's here's 17 dates. Can you
00:13:20
please do one of them? Yeah. And then if you don't, which I don't text them back pretty much 99% of the
00:13:26
time, I don't. Well, you get flooded with texts. Every day, I'm not lying. You get 5 to
00:13:31
10. Yeah. Can you do my show? Can you do my show? Can you do my show? Yeah. It's a great problem to have. It's a No, I'm grateful for it. I'm
00:13:38
grateful for it, but um it's a little there's some boundaries that need to be That is interesting because it I thought
00:13:45
about next time I do set up shows like this, I think I'm going to just give them Carlos's phone number and he can just do it for us.
00:13:52
Yeah. I mean, it's what happens with everything. Shouldn't we do then? My deal with my Melanie.
00:13:57
With who? Melanie. Who's that? You know who Melanie? Who's that? You know the one that's camping right
00:14:02
now. So, does she live in the woods? I know what you're I know. in the
00:14:07
desert. Yeah, I have somebody that works for me that's always in the woods. It's pretty She's 95% in the woods. I
00:14:16
think she's like half bear. Head in the clouds, body in the woods. Yeah, because she's she might be bare. I don't get reception out here. But
00:14:23
every time I This is her thing. Every time I'm in town, every two or three days, I'll get it. You know what I mean?
00:14:29
And I'm like, but I'm paying you. Yeah. Right. This is like the early 1900s.
00:14:34
It's like, well, I'll get there when I get there. Yeah. Sometimes I'll see a smoke signal, you know. There she is.
00:14:41
Brian Marock wants to do you want you to do the show. Yeah. Or whatever.
00:14:46
Some Yeah. Can you do 8:00 p.m.? Yeah. Yeah. A flare or something. But she is always in the woods. I don't know
00:14:53
what she does out there. Well, she's probably connecting with Earth again.
00:14:58
She's getting back to her roots. Yeah. She's native, right? She's Native American. I don't even know what she is.
00:15:03
I just have an image of her in my mind. I have never seen her. Have I met her? No, she could be native. She could be native.
00:15:08
She Yeah, she might be there. No, she's Vietnamese, but she's native Vietnamese.
00:15:14
That is native. She's half Vietnamese. I don't know what the other half. But anyway, um Did you buy that while we were down under or did somebody give that to you?
00:15:20
I bought it at the airport with Juice. You Oh, you did? Is that a football or rugby? Is that Southampton? What is it?
00:15:26
Australia. Australia. Okay. Yeah, I got it in Sydney. And what's this shirt you got on, Rich? Oh, Cinema Salem.
00:15:34
Hell yeah. What is it? It's got a witch on it. Yeah. But what? Santa of Salem. Of Salem. Yeah.
00:15:39
Santa. No. No. Cinema. Oh, it's the movie theater. Oh, cinema of Salem. Oh, wow.
00:15:45
Yeah. Well, some Santa would go to Salem. He goes everywhere. I Does he not?
00:15:52
I I don't know to be honest. No, Santa goes everywhere. No, he doesn't. Oh my god. Now we're going to get in
00:15:58
another fight. Where does he not go? Where does not go anywhere? Where does he not go, Santa Claus? Africa.
00:16:04
What would you say? Africa's He just said Africa. Why? Cuz they don't have chimneys.
00:16:10
They have chimneys. Do they? I do. Do Yeah. I mean, they're made out of clay or whatever, but that's not a
00:16:17
bad thing. No, it's just, you know, Santa goes everywhere. You're right.
00:16:24
But there he goes to certain places first. I think you can say it. All right. So, I think that Santa
00:16:30
Claus's route, right? I'm going to play it safe. Yeah, he'll go I think he goes to America
00:16:36
first. Of course, we're number one, right? So, he goes to New York because of the time. He starts on the on the East Coast.
00:16:42
Yeah. Yeah. Does all the major cities first? Well, no, he would do all the suburbs, too, right? He's not going to go to New
00:16:49
York City, then to Atlanta, and then to Onian. He back up, right? He would do the region
00:16:55
first, right? That's a lot of houses. Who do you know in Onian?
00:17:00
What do you mean? How do you know the town? The town of Oni. Well, um,
00:17:05
how did that pop up? I did a college there. I was just gonna say because that's so specific. I did it one with Renaiss open for me
00:17:11
back in the day. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz he went to school there at on somewhere in Oniante and went to school
00:17:16
there. Yeah. But anyway, that's how I know Oniian. And Santa does go everywhere. He does go everywhere. But you're saying where did he go last?
00:17:23
If there's time. Yeah. He's like, "Dude, if I can make it, I will. If not, I I won't."
00:17:28
Well, I think that he forgets like he's like he's in London. He's like, "Oh, finally la last house." And then elf
00:17:34
calls him. Santa. Yeah. Hey, Santa. You Ho ho ho.
00:17:40
You forgot. I got I just got to the last house in in Essex. Essex. Essex.
00:17:47

00:17:52
many ways that the Middle East, they don't celebrate Christmas, do they? Well, Palestine is the Bethlehem is

00:21:55
through my wife's words of that there were toilets sometimes that were just holes in the floor. Oh, I told you. You just used to poop in a hole in the
00:22:01
floor, bro. I never dude. So, as a kid, I remember my my grandparents lived
00:22:08
generations on top of this mountaintop and the house is made out of rice paper.
00:22:14
You know that, right? I mean, there's wood, but the walls are rice paper. Why
00:22:19
are you laughing? It's just is it's edible. I guess you could eat out. No, but it's rice paper, right?
00:22:24
And outside is uh wooden, you know, what do you call
00:22:30
it? An out of house. Yeah, you've told me this, but there's a whole generations of your family's poop. And yeah, my so my great great great
00:22:35
great great grandfather's poo was down there. That's amazing. It's amazing to think about. But see, those are are those stalls to pee in? Those aren't for pooping. That's
00:22:41
not a That's Those are for pooping. Oh, it Oh, it is. That's how you do it. Oh my god. Yeah. Which is a cleaner way to get it
00:22:47
out, I think. Uh Yeah. No, it actually is. Sitting on a toilet the way we do it is actually the worst for you.
00:22:53
Yeah. That's why Squatty Potty or those lifted leg things are good. Yeah. I put my dog under my feet when I poop.
00:22:59
Do you really? Yeah. Yeah. I put my feet on her as an ottoman or something. Yeah.
00:23:05
Well, yeah. I don't think that's good. A dog. Yeah. Come here, dog. The dog does always sit there when I poop. She loves to sit
00:23:11
there and she'll stare at me for a second and as soon as she'll hear like then she'll turn away out of respect.
00:23:17
And I said, "Thank you." Yeah. They they're afraid of my toilet cuz it does stuff when I'm not in the
00:23:22
room. It's a Japanese toilet. Yeah. That's why it's got noises. So it go
00:23:27
right. And it it selfcleans, right? So they think that there's something in there. Sending a fax. Also, I have two robots now in my
00:23:35
bathroom. What do you mean? Well, you know, I buy robots. Yeah, you have so many [ __ ] robots. No, I'm being real. I'm not even just
00:23:40
not even joking. You mean that the cleanup ones? No, I have real like robots that you would get on TikTok or whatever.
00:23:46
How much were they? Well, I have two. One's not necessarily a robot. So, one of them is an actual robot that cost me like $1,000 or
00:23:54
something. Does it speak to you? What? Yes. Really? Yeah. You have conversations with him? I think his name is Emo. Don't you get
00:24:00
to name them? It's yours. No, it's called emo because you have to say good morning emo.
00:24:05
Hello. Good morning. And it'll start like doing taxes or and when you're not when you're in the other
00:24:11
room, you can hear him do taxes, sing, right? And he'll just like drink coffee
00:24:17
and so just know that someone's in there. You just like that someone's around. Yeah. And then I have another thing I got from Tik Tok, which is a snow globe
00:24:24
that sings. So it's a face. It's got It kind of looks like Elmo. It's like this white globe and it does old timey music in the
00:24:33
night before Christmas. What do you like? You like it to put you to bed at night? No, I just like the fact that there's
00:24:39
somebody in the other room going telling he tells old timey jokes like take my wife please just randomly.
00:24:45
It does. Yeah. And I just kind of like that there's something in there and then my and then El emo's there too doing taxes.
00:24:51
Do they talk to each other? I don't think so. Now you don't know yet though. AI is doing this right? Yeah. I think emo is more AI than um the
00:24:58
talking globe, but who knows? God, I think it's so creepy we let these things into our world and they're all just You don't have anything like that.
00:25:04

00:34:16
was a week later and you were on the show. Uh but you left before I got

Go ahead. Was it Chocolate Sundays? No. That was a Saturday night. Okay. Why that?
00:35:26
Huh? Why that? Chocolate Sundays? Yeah, cuz they run long. Okay. Those shows run long.
00:35:31
It was a Saturday night. Somebody dropped in. Maybe it was I don't know. You know, maybe it was just they had dropins. I don't know. But the
00:35:37
show was 90 minutes too long. That's why I don't play that room a lot, right? Yeah. And then um my 11:30 was a 1:30.
00:35:45
Oh, yeah. [ __ ] And I got up and there was six people in the room that were there from the
00:35:51

00:39:29
respond to what you said. Okay. I look at it like, you know, there's glass ceilings and you keep going
00:39:34
through and eventually the top tier, it's a steel ceiling. You can't get through it. There's only so high you can
00:39:40
go. But the tears are, you know, fairly
00:39:45
large tears. But you're in the building. Yes. But there's a lot of guys in that room when you get to that last tier.
00:39:52
You're on the first floor. That's good. Of you. True classic. Yeah. You classic guy.
00:39:58
I'm so classic. And you know, you see me, you make fun of me by how many of these I wear all the time. I'm turning classic now. You are turning classic cuz I love them.
00:40:05
And that true classic, by the way, it's not just about the fit of the fabric. It's helping you show up with confidence every single day and purpose. These
00:40:11
shirts, I'm telling you, are so comfortable and so wearable no matter what you're up to. Whether you're like
00:40:16
Bobby Lee, you're playing pickle ball on rollerblades, or you're like me, you're at the golf course and going to have uh
00:40:21
club sandwiches with friends afterwards. I meditate with them on the mountaintop that I meditate at. You're still going to that same mountain
00:40:27
top? Yes. Meditation mountain top. You should go. You've been wearing true classic for a while now. For a long time. You can. And can you feel the difference?
00:40:33
100%. Right. You throw on. You really do. Clean, effortless fit that actually works in real life. And it's not just
00:40:38
their simple classic TE's. They also have uh uh polo shirts that I love very much. And you got to try them out. It's
00:40:44
going to fit within your budget. That's the best part. Clothes are getting expensive. And I'm telling you, you don't have to hunt for a good uh a good
00:40:50
deal of something comfortable that looks classic, clean, and also is very versatile because True Classic has got
00:40:55
that. And you can find them at Target, Costco, and head to trueclass.com/badfriends
00:41:02
to try them for yourself. That's right. Go over to Target. Go to Costco. Go to whatever you need to. But you can also go to trueclassic.com/badfriends.

00:41:45
You want me to say it, don't you? I want you to say it. I don't think you can handle it.
00:41:51
I can handle it.
00:41:57
I'm a Bobby mother. I'm Bobby mom. Oh, yes.
00:42:03
Yes. Thank you. Oh,
00:42:09
you just sometimes forget to be grateful. But the thing that makes me grateful, and it's my reminder every
00:42:14
week, and I [ __ ] cherish this because there are some people that can't do it, and it's such a simple thing. The
00:42:20
grocery store. I go to the grocery store once a week. I walk and buy the things I
00:42:27
want and need, and I go to the checkout, and whatever she says this cost, I hand
00:42:33
her the card. And I'm like, "You are so [ __ ] lucky that you can do that. You
00:42:38
are so [ __ ] lucky that you can do that, man. I get that. The grocery store, I get it. Yeah, we we always used to talk about that.
00:42:44
That I think you knew you made it in standup is when you can go eat a meal afterwards with other comics and then
00:42:51
not worry about what the meal the what it was going to cost you. Yeah, cuz when you were young in stand up and
00:42:56
you go out and you'd all be like, who's going to [ __ ] are we all going to split this? Are they going to Me and my roommates used to share a BRC
00:43:03
burrito. It's amazing, right? El Poo Loco BRC $1. What's the BRC?
00:43:08
Bean, rice, and cheese. Wow. And we would split one a day and we'd split in half.
00:43:15
And then we would get arguments of how much bean that he got extra. Well, yeah.
00:43:20
Sometimes it's Well, he was Mexican, so I mean, I let it slide. They love the beans. But my point is is that
00:43:25
I need it, bro. And I got more of the rice. Yeah. Yeah. So, it's a fair exchange. But, um, yeah. I
00:43:32
mean, that's all we ate and I was a standup. Mhm. And I was hitting the clubs, but that's all I could eat. And now I'm
00:43:39
grateful that I can get more. You dude, but you That's an understatement. You order the
00:43:44
whole menu. Yeah. You He He really does. Yeah. I love that, dude. I love He orders the whole [ __ ] thing.
00:43:50
I've ordered two entre before cuz I'm like, I can't decide. Yes. Yeah. You've done that.
00:43:55
I'll order with you. You order Can I just say something in Dublin? You You did the ordering.
00:44:01
You know what he does? This is what he does. tells the table, "Don't worry about it."
00:44:06
And they'll have a private You always have a private meeting with the with the [ __ ] waiter.
00:44:12
You do. You do. You do your f the [ __ ] The hide comes out. Hey, I got this, right?
00:44:19
Yeah. Yeah. Bonjour or whatever. You'll pull aside and then things will just come out.
00:44:24
Yeah. And we don't have to worry. I slip him a card and then Yeah. Yeah. He takes care of the whole thing. That's Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Paul Italia does that.
00:44:31
That's fun. Paul Italia does that. The Paul that owns the stand that I that I do Joey Roses with.
00:44:36
Um he'll he'll want to check out a restaurant and he'll go in and he'll run the [ __ ] menu.
00:44:42
That's fun. He'll be like he'll be like, "Bring it. Bring it. Bring it. Bring it." Like, "Why not?" And then, you know, and then it's paid
00:44:47
for and you're like, "Okay, all right, dude." Well, then also here's the real move. Get the [ __ ] to go you can't eat. Find
00:44:53
your nearest homeless guy. Go, dude. You want a [ __ ] killer meal? I've got so much leftover. And then they go, "I don't want it. Give
00:44:59
me crack." You go and you're like, I'm giving you a steak. Is there crack in it?
00:45:07
You go up to the homeless guy, you go, you want a killer meal? You got to try this place. Wait till you get it. When you get your
00:45:12
life together, man, you'll be able to get in there. Yeah, this really good spot over here, buddy.
00:45:18

to him. No, no, but but he literally was like, "What's in it?" I was like, "Oh, I don't know. It's a whatever blah blah blah." And then and he goes, "Nah,
00:45:59
I he [ __ ] me off." I was like, "All right, dude. I wrote a joke about this. I had a homeless guy once uh he I go, "Do you
00:46:06
want this leftover Chinese food?" He goes, "It depends." And I go, "Oh, does it?" Yeah. Does it? Yeah. And I go, "What does it depend
00:46:12
on?" He goes, "Is there meat in it?" And I go, "Yeah." And he goes, "Hard pass. I'm a strict vegetarian." I go, "You might want to loosen up the reinss on

00:52:23
the bar. TJ Miller or somebody was like doing an hour and I was like, "I'm on this show." And they were like, I I

00:53:03
things happened down there. I got into a fight with House Sparks. A fist fight with House Spark. No. And on stage
00:53:10
in front of an audience. Why? Uh Seth Herzog has this show called
00:53:16
Sweet that he's been doing in New York forever. And the the way the show works
00:53:22
is is he has a co-host. And you, if you're the co-host, you sit with Seth on the side of the stage and you riff with
00:53:29
the comics. Sure. And like in New York, it'll be like literally like Will Forte or like Justin
00:53:35
Long or Sam Rockwell. He gets all these really fun people. And in Cabo, he's like, "Brother, you've
00:53:40
done Sweet a million times. Like just co-host with me. It'll be fun." So I was like, "That'd be great." So we're sitting there, of course, we're in a
00:53:47
nightmare [ __ ] bar where every, you know, it's not a good show to begin with because of Cabo, I mean. And then um Hal
00:53:54
Sparks went on and I guess he didn't know what the show was and he was talking and I was like and I
00:53:59
jumped in and said something. He goes he goes, "I got it from here, pal. All right. I don't need your [ __ ] help."
00:54:04
Uhoh. Right. Like that. So dude, I sit back. I sit back and immediately it's like
00:54:11
Yeah. You know, I had a tiger dog. Yeah. Yeah. Remember that clip of you and Theo where you're staring at him?
00:54:16
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like that. Yeah. And I'm just like, you [ __ ] [ __ ] Yeah.
00:54:22
And um he's loading up the bullets and I'm just seething. And then halfway through his set, he talked to me and I
00:54:29
go and he goes, "I'm talking to you, man." And I go, "Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Do you
00:54:34
want me to say something? I I tried to jump in earlier and you got really pissed off." Oh, here we go. And he goes, "I didn't know you were so
00:54:41
sensitive, little sweetie." And I go, "Yeah." Yeah. Yeah. And I go, "Yeah, I didn't know you were a [ __ ]
00:54:49

For people that don't That's the guy who owned the improv. He was done. And I was like, "Well, there go the improvs."
00:55:08
Yeah. And then did it ever resolve. You ever run into him? I saw him the next day. Yeah.
00:55:14
And uh I saw him the next day in the lobby and he he lectured me for about 10
00:55:19
minutes. Bud did No. No. Cal [ __ ] Sparks Lex. Lectured. Wow.
00:55:24
About what? He's like, "Look, man. You know, I'm sorry about last night, but you got to understand something like they didn't
00:55:30
tell me what the show was." And I'm like, "Okay, like cool, dude." And he was like, he's
00:55:35
like, "Every show has I just told this story the other night. It's so hard not
00:55:40
to laugh." He goes, "Every show has I tell you what he said." He goes,
00:55:47
"Every show has an id, an ego, and a super ego." Oh my god. Oh my god.
00:55:52
And you have to be familiar with all three. Now, let me tell you why uh the show Set

List does so. That was Was that Provengers show? Yeah. Where you made up the jokes? No. Yeah. Set list. Yeah.
00:56:02

00:59:22
That can happen on Long Island. And he's saying shut up. And I'm like dude take care of this. And they don't take care of it. And then I was like, "Well, I'll just I don't I don't want to

00:59:39
[ __ ] barking at me and [ __ ] And then I just sat on the stool. I literally sat and didn't say anything until people slowly got up and left. And the guy was
00:59:45
like, "That's the most unprofessional [ __ ] I'm taking those ticket prices out of your paycheck or whatever." And I was like, "Good.

like an impossible bar bill. Yeah. Imp like I had like four shots and
01:00:24
a beer at the bar at the V because you literally two of them before before I
01:00:29
went on stage because I was like this is a [ __ ] nightmare. I can't do this. And uh and then I had I had to drink on
01:00:36
stage and then a drink after or whatever. And then I left because big big surprise. I didn't want to hang out at Captain Brian's Off the Hook for my
01:00:43
night in Florida. And uh I'm like, "Bro, your audiences suck. They suck and
01:00:48

01:01:06
Yeah. I did I did it one time. [ __ ] Jim Jeff. This is Facebook was the only thing. Facebook Messenger.
01:01:12
Remember, this is a long time ago then. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [ __ ] Jim Jeff who like I was friendly with but didn't know that
01:01:19

01:01:32
"It's a nightmare. Don't walk out into the ocean." Yeah. I go, "It's a nightmare." I go, "Did you do well when you were here?"
01:01:37
And he goes, "Fuck no." And he told a story to me that he walked the entire crowd outside so he could have a
01:01:43
cigarette. Wow. Because he's like, it was a [ __ ] joke. A drunk lady got on stage with me
01:01:49
the last show and tried to wrestle the mic out of my hand and the staff did nothing. I was screaming at the [ __ ]
01:01:56
staff. Yeah. And then this is my favorite part. At the end of the weekend, they go, "Would you sign the your head shot?
01:02:02
What are you gonna Yeah. What are you gonna do with it?" Yeah. You put it up above the lobster. Um, it did have a seafood bar in the middle
01:02:08
of the room where you're performing. Really? I'm not You went to Captain Brian Zoo? Yes, I did. I told you I did it one
01:02:15
time. Wow. Everybody does it one time. Never even did it one time. That's how sad my [ __ ] [ __ ] is. But he had But he
01:02:21
I don't even know if he was there when I went down there. Maybe he was, but I went down there and I walked in and
01:02:27
immediately I was like, "Fuck, [ __ ] People are eating dinner. It's dinner. It's terrible." I got this feeling.
01:02:34
It was tough, man. Do you do your 45 or no? I did the time. I will say this, dude. That does mold you when you're young and
01:02:39
into you're like, "Fuck it. I'm going to grind the [ __ ] out." Like, it is something good about those things. Your relationship, your experience was
01:02:45
obviously terrible. But I like I think there was something about those rooms when I when I was doing them that I was like, "Well, this is just going to make
01:02:50
me build an hour." That's also though when I was really in my like I wish I was Bill Hicks mode.
01:02:58
Oh, yeah. So, I went on stage and I was like, I'm doing the material and you're either going to get it or you you know what I
01:03:04
mean? I didn't break out of anything. I didn't do crowd work. I could have. Now I'd be like, I'll figure this out. Yeah.
01:03:10
You don't know the trick? No. What's this trick? Make up your own rules. You make up your own rules. Do whatever.
01:03:15
What? Let me ask you this. Okay. You don't know the trick. Get one of the biggest podcasts in history and then you don't have to do this.
01:03:22
No. No. No. No. No. This is before. Way before. This is way before somebody I don't know who did this.
01:03:28
They made up a rule. Opener does 10:15. Feature does 30. Yeah. The headliner is 45. You mix it
01:03:35
up. Mix it up. Yeah, but opener does 45. Yeah. You know what I mean? Who cares? Feature does 30.
01:03:41
Yeah, he does 10. Yeah. Mix it up. You mix it up, dude. You always though, you always didn't
01:03:47
give a [ __ ] The first Do you remember the first time we met at the Laugh Factory in New York opening weekend?
01:03:53
Oh my god, that was the worst week. Yeah. And Jamie was there and he had you headlining that main room. Yeah. Yeah.
01:03:58
And you Okay. What' I do? You 100% lit your pubes on fire on 100%.
01:04:06
I know that that I was just like this kid's [ __ ] wild. But then uh
01:04:11
but then we were sitting in the lob. Remember there was like that lobby next to the service bar with the booths?
01:04:16
Yeah. It was like basically their green room and uh and Bobby just was like light and sigs.
01:04:24
Light and sigs. There's no doors. It's wafting out to the customers. Jamie runs over. He's like, "Bobby, yo, what the
01:04:31
[ __ ] are you doing?" screaming at him. Tomy's like, "Jamie, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." Yeah,
01:04:36
I learned that from Dice. Yeah. Then he go then you go, he he he lit a cigarette at the gate at
01:04:42
LAX. At the gate. That's insane. And he's I can do. And I go, "You can."
01:04:47
He go, "I can do whatever I want." And then somebody goes, "Can you put that on?" He just stomps it. And I learned that behavior. It's not
01:04:52
me. I learned that behavior. Okay. It's learned. That's learned. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
01:04:57
It's not him. every But then he would go away mad and you'd be like, "Watch, this is gonna be so funny." And you would do
01:05:04
it again and you would run over and scare you. You'd be like, "Jamie, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry." Put it out.
01:05:09
Yes. You'd walk away. You'd be like, "This is so You were cackling." Cackling like a little maniac. I remember I was looking at you like,
