1:52 let's get crazy, let's just go find. Those it's worth it it LA donuts are the best I haven't really had bread. When I eat a piece of pizza, my body's like, Jamie, what are you doing? for hours of feeling like dog shit. Yeah, that's what those called. Just to me those are the regulars and then you got the puffs One of the dudes that works for my friend Steve Rinella told us that they're very flammable

Okay, it's Like if you want to barbecue and you know, you don't want to go by you ever seen those things tumbleweeds What are those those chilies where people additos, they add Fritos to the chili. You got it in you. Because I have pretty thick abs too. Yeah. So any fat that goes on top of this shit right here. It's a barrel

8:23 It's just gluttony Oh you get going baby You're dying like this is the best night of my life, I love him Brian comes off stage and he walks in the movie goes It's it's ridiculous That's not a bit that you the first time you do it on stage you get that product He was that. But um yeah, he's just got a unique way of looking at things and I that's the wonderful thing about comedy

12:22 But we all have this like amazing bond. Bro, you were an early adopter. when we were at Vulcan during the lockdown. Are you gonna just not do shows anymore? You're gonna not talk to people like what are we doing? Yeah, cut to I mean, oh my god. Well, I knew it. I felt something They were doing smashing grabs everywhere were insane. Like nice places in Beverly Hills. Nice stores

15:30 And they could have been just waiting for the thing Crazy, in Woodland Hills. It's like, yeah, that's where Shob lives. Just don't go to the cash register get out get out now and they get outside and probably some it's probably biological weapons today again it could happen again but the the point is, it's like, I don't even remember Oh my God, yeah.

18:34 like that. Broken. Just broken. But everybody got so tribal. And it also, it gave people an opportunity to be cunts. You know, whether it's a controversial position, like saying I don't want to get vaccinated or was a controversial position of doing shows gonna die. You're gonna die too, so am I. What are we doing? Also, the solution is not everybody stay home

20:05 You made it scarier. You're gonna have more people with anxiety. You could have more lost years of development not gonna protect them that's not how it works it's like there's no there was no Shut the fuck up. It's okay nobody's you're not a bad person to be like man COVID came and I Wait, what's a vaccine injury? Myocarditis is some also there's a thing about

23:15 If you watch the president get vaccinated on TV, I took that shit for real. What did it do to you? But it felt like, where it was like, But a bunch of injuries they have attributed They told people to get vaccinated and they were there were it because so it takes like this All vaccines have at least occasional side effects, Yeah. against. Like who wants to be involved in that shit? Yeah.

26:11 It was nothing people. We were right. We were so right. We were right. You guys are all back to normal We got Colin Quinn and Krista Stefano and Shane's in there all the time and Schultz when he comes by and Dave when he's in town green light yeah and everyone moving Shane moving it did just and now the So to me, that's what made it more real too cuz I'm looking at it like well

29:10 Famous comic saying he ruined. Oh man. He fucked up your career he's like, are you really angry? But also like the reality that he doesn't like, I go, just move here. Yeah man, I'm glad you did too. it's awesome that Tony said this, I went to his, like, I love that guy. There's a lot of guys that they started They think, oh, he's doing that on Kill Tony. It's like, like no he's doing that off camera. He's doing that in the green room

32:25 10 years. You know, I don't even know when we started doing shows together, but it had Oh, bro! You know, I'm not gonna say it, He's gonna crash of like socially retarded cunts that sit at home all day and complain about things Yeah Ooh, Derek, don't you want to be in the movies? Ooh, Derek, don't you want to host your own sitcom? show when you need to promote something.

36:28 Goddamnit I fucking hate Derek. I hope he crashed this car Conan when Conan took over Tonight Show because Jay Leno did his show at 10 o'clock or like 2000s like when things are popping there like, what What that sucks bro I would be so upset. I would be that's crazy to do somebody Stupid old dumb mentality that stupid old famine mentality for mentally ill people who are narcissists

40:12 he looks right at me every time and goes, Like, yeah, yeah, super super. And then if you see people doing better than you, you get angry. This fucking guy is like a zen master up there. He's like effortlessly killing in a way that's so ridiculous and so unique. You can't have a good time. So you're missing out on having a good time just so you could be selfish

42:18 by that feeling. where it doesn't feel bad if you take it on. I mean, Joe, I learned, you might even remember this, I learned a lesson in comedy, being young, What were you complaining about? 26 years old like I'm glad I that that happened to me because it was at the time it felt like you know you're like oh Inspiration they add You have no choice.

45:28 What's going on, man? I remember like it was yesterday, man. So you were doing the, on the stool bit, after he dropped a special, You never abandoned it. Yes. hour Yeah, so when everybody was out here early Well when the deal fell through with the cult place and then we walked walked into that movie theater, when it was a movie theater still, It really felt like that.

49:14 movie theater at one point. There's a movie theater for the longest time where I mean, it's very comedy store vibes in that because the commissary should be zeros I go through 50 more of those. It'll be a a miracle so it's not that's not gonna happen. I know go through 50 of them I'm supposed to do this like if anybody's supposed to do this like if you were a kid and they said to you if you got

51:24 You have the incredible fortune to have fuck you money. But he was he was like I fly out of austin. It's much easier here in the middle it could have ever happened. And. So when she's over there, it's like, Like, a lot of us are dirtbags. A lot of us are crazy. the same way the store was I was a little apprehensive like man comics cause problems and their employees like a

53:31 Yeah, I mean but there was that problem. you're not sexist, I know you're not racist, I know you're not homophobic, you Yep. We have so many different people working there. Boy he's come a long way man. That dude. Joey Diaz was just telling me on the phone yesterday You saw it when he was here. His wife's down too, she gets it, she's the best. I'm recruiting man.

I don't know how long they've been open, We're staying alive, you know be a bunch of people doing one minute and this should be like belts like Now you start going on the road as a middle act. You know they're gonna see me And I grab my phone and I just start either talking into it You know why I've been thinking about going to Android because Samsung phones when you if you record your sets

1:00:36 Why are we still on iPhones? they had an iPhone and an Android phone, that we're not thinking about, right? like, oh, I was looking at those shoes. They want to know what you're doing what you're listening to what you're watching. What do you what do you what you got Netflix? You can get apps that will get that will infect your a while motherfucker just downloading every app that's on the Play Store

1:03:05 Inside that is someone could just steal all your credit card information on your phone if you're using like you know they have access to your computer. They figured out a way to make it very, very, very addictive. But fat butts that's cuz you like fat butts. They know you like fat butts of protecting your information, I think. Group workout texts and we send we have to have to go green cuz of fucking Brian

1:06:23 archaic messaging experience And I go okay, I got the video now, but there's so many things you can't do the the big one is facetime love you man I think you're really fun so they're like going back if I'm like It's usually just something funny. It's fun someone cool cool people like when cool people send you a FaceTime. It's like wow I wasn't supposed to be on that.

I don't this yeah, this is dangerous now and this same area look at me with the full head air Shout out Matt Lockwood. He's bringing me on stage. It's only two people in the room. He's fucking around. This next comic used to sleep on my couch

But if he can get 10 minutes out of that or five minutes or one minute He's I'm going over the skeleton of it right now guys Yeah, and you know back then like Damon doesn't get the respect that he deserves.

1:14:43 Masterful. and Damon was, he was just so clever and so silly, There's 15 fucking people in the crowd, because you do that to yourself. It's running with weights on. And one of the things you see from guys Where is it at is it where you're happy with it or have you just kind of accepted? Murderers! You're doing it to yourself. I think it's just concentrating.

1:17:50 If you watch yourself do stand up, force yourself to listen and you force yourself to watch, those add up in terms of the overall I don't want to write. Completely live the set over again. You're doing it again His punch lines sneak up on you. Joey Diaz is the very best at it. You know he's not really beating up transvestites. Like, that's, it's like, the whole thing, it's like, he's a cartoon. He's a cartoon character. It's amazing. He's so out there beating up transvestites. It's like the whole thing.

1:20:53 I think, I mean, there's great comedians. He's so likable to even when he was shitting all over Dana. Why he's got a big smile on his face Joey hits, he hits an RPM And when he gets wild on stage, man, Yeah, and so he was like the best guy to take on the road too because it was like the party was with us But you you're lucky, but you also did all the work to get you to that place

1:23:47 You did this, you did that. Man, you're just going. At mile 100. And finish it. I'm realizing this as you're saying it. In the gym, it's an amazing workout. This is this one that thing. Whoa, this motherfucker climbed Mount Everest She's mother fucker no one had ever achieved before did he do it Yeah And then the next day he woke up and did it again. Bro, look how jacked he looks there. Kid, am I wrong? Kidney failure can kill you, right?

1:27:38 He looks incredible. I mean, yeah, I was, I was looking at him too. Like, I think he's, So what does someone have to tap out here? So is this to the death? Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and all this stuff and you have an illegitimate daughter Brian Tupac just did it once. And I'm going to be Jay-Z. There was the early days of Ice Cube and Eazy-E.

1:30:24 yeah he was a crazy New York dude interesting you never heard of Tim Dog? who went after NWA when everyone was scared of NWA and everybody was scared of Compton. He went after NWA. It's something on wax click on that. That's the album. I just picked it because it was a good picture of him But he went after NWA. It's genius. On the subway, listen to that beat.

1:32:42 I love someone is like really fucking good and like piecing together a story and that's why rewind is so good It makes sense, it's genius. still not lost any of the pace, you know? No, yeah, he did it with the one of the new best producers He's some real bangers, man. It's the same kind of shit like we always listen to cool G rap and brand new heavies that death threat. Oh, yeah

1:34:50 and it's like, it's all random, so it's all randomized. Sing, baby. Hot White Cum Lady, oh shit baby sing what's that one thing Yeah, you know it's fun. Hey, we're like jelly roll. He's fun to hang with fun. Gary Gary Clark. Yeah I'm in the middle of it. No, we need it because in your head you can hear the joke sometimes Yeah, like if you read a Malcolm Gladwell's book the out loudest, you know, I bought it I haven't read it

1:37:56 tight as a drum and then I'm gonna work out again at 6 a.m. case with music I think that's the case with sports up until the point where to heal the sessions, you know? For fighting, that must be the hardest. Oh yeah. To judge that. Those guys. What's too much work for your biology to heal the sessions you know for fighting Yeah, they fight. They fight all fucked up.

1:39:57 And he couldn't he knew he had like one good round in him When Tony was on the cover of Variety magazine, I was like, whoa, that's undeniable. Yeah, easily it could be that and also he when they do the live show, you know, they they put on a production Nothing can't sing simple man with Tony on drums what kind of life are we living? Just this week, Joe, it went,

1:42:20 Just from an open mic? guys who work and the guys just kind of half-asset like we've seen guys come Those guys that are free like a tell a tells free. He's free when he's up there. He's free Usually the people that aren't funny, but they try really hard to be funny kind of eke out some bizarre existence where they can pretend that they're a comedian

1:44:43 But you do have fighters that are professional fighters that are not good And so with stand-up you get those guys too because some comics they like weak comics going on in front of them But they're kind of like half doing it and they can still have a career though, so kind of sort of you know, but same thing. They're not making any real money operate in that world.

1:46:54 Polished and developed. Yeah, whereas it existed in small pockets where they had friends It's not good and you can tell they act like or you see it on them That's my friend. Yo Ronald come in and then Tony comes in All the young people are moving here all the young people that want to have a career and then have it Look at William Montgomery. Guys will take you on the road.

1:50:19 I could have gone to school. I wish sometimes I had a health care plan Well, yeah, if you were early adopter of William Montgomery stock you'd be like, wow, I fucking called that bitch Well, he's just so friendly in real life and so silly, That's that's the the coolest thing is to see how many people decided to join us, you know No one has jobs. No, there's no club. You can hire people bring them out here and everybody starts coming like what are you guys doing?

1:52:49 are the reason why people are there. We balled the fuck out. And we're like, we're about to get some fucking sushi. I can pay for dinner. What people doing for me? Yeah, yeah, when we first started doing that, I mean And Lenny was just coming off of the HBO It was real fun. No, I came out here to LA, came out there to LA, And he was always one of those ones

1:55:49 Just crying laughing and then all sudden. I'm in the parking lot of the comic store and dice is giving me advice just doing the Comedy Store and the Lab Factory and working on sitcom news radio. Yeah. And Joey didn't show up which is correct, and he's assuming when you bring people. Yeah, so it's just laughs we just go have a good time We're hanging out the pool when we're on the road together

1:59:31 I think we were in Austin. just a few years earlier. hilarious crazy. Door guy. and then someone comes along and says, subject three different times you can't you can't piece that together and make It's not 15 minutes anymore. It's four minutes. You know, it's one chunk and it's bang, bang, still take them on the road and like hey man you gotta make it up the hill. You gotta make it up

2:02:32 you know what I mean? That's the best part of watching the thing is There's tons of tutorials on how to learn how to play guitar that are free. Like, what is going on? So aware, not locked into the thought at all but So if you're I want you to be having fun, you know when I see someone like with Schultz at the roast that's you. That's on that's on you.

2:05:32 Oh, we were there. ten minutes just riffing about New York and I'll be like, I don't even, I didn't even We can all be bigger and better. do some stuff online. I remember this night. Yeah. I just remember just being a fly on the wall watching these That's who they really were. and then they pretend they're really amazing. real problem. what I've been thinking about. Don't you want the people in the show to also leave going,

2:08:18 And you can do it, everybody can do it. It's just loving is so much more fun. what's important is friendship fun this thing that you're trying to get better And we all have good advice for each other. and talk to you about it. He goes they gotta get him to fall in love with you first But it's it's you know, that's like, that intensity is also like, that can be harnessed.

2:10:45 The gluttony. She's like, no, daddy, stop talking shit. That's the problem it's a good time for you. Oh, bro. The world is changing in my favor, baby 20 million views every video. It ain't just me baby, right? It ain't just your boy. It's a lot Yeah. It's like don't you can't you can't you can't see that young? Yeah, you can't I've seen somebody like a video of just somebody

He hit he I don't know what he had in his hand Yeah, the fucking movie lines the video of him doing it though is the most disturbing shit you'll ever see And he was driving through, and he tried to drive Seconds later to see the video and it's like I don't think I'm supposed to live like I don't think I'm supposed to live

2:16:49 They're just gonna talk shit, oh man, this made me went a little too far. Not there not there same timeline same time on earth it exists. This is human natural human pattern and Okay, but why also it's like You know They're going to come back tomorrow with some friends. But I don't think when he went to bed he felt good. No no no can't be while you will got into this business

2:20:00 Four each Jesus Christ eight. That's so crazy now imagine if they put that much creativity into positivity Both sides of the stupid shit that is being said by both sides Bro. do you know what happened at Kent State in Ohio? that the Army or the National Guard was shooting What year was this? them on the college rifles with rifles like their armed combatants trying to

2:23:01 It's yes, man You know they're launching these camps. They're all sleeping on the lawn along the tents. Yeah Yeah, because if you can do it, then why can't homeless people just do it? they should, you can't just let people camp places. he went to one of those protests. They didn't understand the conflict. even know what's going on. That's wild to me.

2:26:03 In I'm trying to judge by where they're at. It says Palestine. Listen to his... This wasn't a college protest, this was just the Israel... And one of them actually said, oh, my friend said, do you want to go protest? I was like, why are kids from colleges, You know if you watch they did some drone footage that showed a drone flying over Gaza Targeted educational facilities under false premise look at that

2:28:38 what it used to look like versus what it looks like now it's fucking terrifying. human beings doing that to other human beings. That can happen an IDF soldier, whether you're Hamas, you feel like you're on the right side, you're You're right, because it's like, like these college kids, to protest it My parents paid for this fuck right and that's a lot of it to a lot of us like young rich kids

2:31:11 your mom doesn't have any money, from like the 1800s, slice them up with a razor blade Yeah, these are wild people man. If you use like pet or asking like pedophiles back then it was so common Or they shave their face rather where everybody else grows out of beard yeah Abraham Lincoln also wrote about black people that they were less than a They're taking down George Washington statues damn. Yeah, bro. Everybody was a piece of shit

2:34:00 Yeah. like, everybody's a piece of shit. That Apocalypto movie, you ever seen that? but they had like there's speculation that sometimes they use The winning team was sack-pressed. that they were doing, some sort of psychedelic compound and that they used to think that they would sacrifice I was a badass athlete now. I'm just going towards the flames

2:37:49 Most of the Native Americans were killed with when the Europeans showed up with smallpox But there's a syphilis that existed in Europe, and then there was a syphilis they believe Yeah, the term bigwig is there was these brothers stupid, you're like, how does that work? Because when you heard that term, when I heard that term as a kid, oh he's a bigwig.

2:40:08 He said that might happen once in a while that it was truly exceptional Interesting interesting. Um, so what does this say there? covered up when the Europeans came oh so they already had these skulls embedded up one day to this place going what the fuck are you guys taking? Why? What are you doing? Why did you guys do this? Why didn't you just make huts?

2:42:36 On these beasts right and beasts 130,000 sacrifices at least in one wall What an energy that's where Mexico City is right to live on top of it because Mexico City like when they're doing Convincing me in good health the rice they had to be on some kind of meth some kind of wonder if that's why God sent even close to Mexico. That's a long journey on a raft. It took over the whole motherfucker.

2:45:43 What? Cast system, right? coming out ain't no Joe Rogan ain't no coming out of the Boston slums and You ready, but you want to show them you could be a fucking star, bro And then mules are the the cross of the donkeys and horses which are the best they didn't exist probably well Horses is like oh, just go over the cliff's like, fuck you, I'm not going this way.

2:48:15 That's awesome. That's a liger, like those lions and tigers and they breed those together and they make A whalpin, it's a whale and a dolphin? Providor. There's a lot of fish that are hybrids Yeah Just dead loads yeah system it's like no no it's too crazy Queen-tlee their ears a little bit and kind of relaxed and became friends with the cats but it's like they did this thing with foxes in Russia where they took

2:53:08 So not something that took place over thousands of years, so what you get is like this big sweet loving dog just loves everybody and Like, we clearly just pacifying it, chilling it out. Whether it's being influenced by who, what, how, or when, And and it's also rewarded. A catty man in a tribe? Yeah, you have to get rid of you and everyone else of the tribe like oh, thank God you got rid of that guy

2:55:41 And I don't know if that's good or bad. That's finally a part of a gang and you you're like, you're going to enforce these ideas on other people. You're a part of a group and so now you're gonna do the exact same thing to people that they did to you It's just a natural human instinct for fucking whatever I think this is happening whether we like it or not.

2:57:20 Something crazy. you're like, I'm gonna keep wearing this dress. I wanna be hugged too, like. But was objective and I was it wasn't a part of the human race This futuristic, everyone is one being Vikings Listen you need all those things you just need people to be nice Stop, okay, you get in the way with too much because you're in a university setting and everybody likes saying you're amazing

2:59:50 Because it's a school shooter. There's not a lot of like really hard But I would guarantee it's a very high number So 7 in 10, 70%. That makes sense, right? Because they're like strictly religious, which would make you much more conservative.
