0:00 There's a lot of people listening, a lot of folks. You ever do it? Well, you lay down and just don't get up. Maybe this wasn't that hard. You really stretch out because of it. Drinking alcohol must be a good buzz after that. I'm more of a screwdriver sort of a gentleman. I just like the name. Yeah. Get a buzz on pina coladas. ridiculous. I mean, like, you got ridiculous i mean like you got you know you

2:50 to go through the buzz, and then you get the hangover. Why'd you think that? A little stinky. But basically, they're either gin or vodka, but everybody just makes them pretty much strong. Especially in a nice diet, it's very laborious. You don't eat them? I eat those. You can grow some fucking jam and tomatoes in your yard. I came home from the comedy store last night

5:38 I'm gonna go to the fucking supermarket And they have them. You live a dull existence. It's called Bordeaux. Charcuterie? when you find like you going hunting again It's delicious. Like, chickens and, you know, there are certain things, like I Yeah, it's great. I'm almost positive we went there. I probably took you. We had horse tartare. I would never tell her that I ate a horse.

8:44 It was one of the biggest issues on the show. it is now right it was more of like um you know there was like a few websites and a few blogs and I had Lou Gatz before you. Yeah. Yeah, I've done the Borgata a couple times, but that's it. You know why I say the Sands? Oh, my God. Wow, so you just hung out with them. Well, no, I just stayed on stage, you know, how long I like 45 an hour

11:52 If it's bad karma, I take it back. Yeah. voice. Really? Did you get to hang with them? Oh, I hate theater in the round. Like, there's no way to do that without being a lech or a creepy fuck. He goes, stay on as long as you can. I was doing that bit, and half the audience was laughing. All I had to see was that, and I was out of there. They will tune up while you're on stage.

14:55 That was the audience? Yeah, eclectic. So if someone's going to be like a crazy stalker. Not anymore. One night we went to, I talked her into going out in Montreal. Flopping around. One guy, that's it yeah yeah where she was on a battleship? Gypsies, tramps, and thieves. She's riding a cannon. iTunes or YouTube? We weren't at the big room. I'm not really playing.

18:31 and then I get off What was the song? What were you singing? i forget it was pretty like there's a good rock song you know it That's hilarious. and Jesus does this. Yeah, yeah. and he wasn't allowed to look at her. do not talk to her and There is a ballet dancer named Rudolf Nureyev. I got the crack just life. I dance, Listen, buddy, you're wearing tights.

23:00 How's he doing? Oh. He was the host. I was always afraid it was just going to close up on me. And I was doing Nick's Comedy Stop, and I was doing that. It was just by itself, and they connected to it. Fucking blood was everywhere. It was crazy. I just couldn't believe someone could just smash somebody in the face of the bottle so easily I didn't see it.

25:32 Even if you get fucking wet. The only fights I've ever been in, this comics baseball game, like a softball game. Fucking softball over whether or not a guy's foot had touched the bag before It's not even amateur. to me, he goes, listen man, No, just waiting for him to, you know, they were going to take the money that people had put on his chest. I mean that is the world of nightlife of cities yeah, and the people that are most dangerous

28:36 Well, movies, fighting is such bullshit, as you know. You know what I mean? Like, you got in a fight and you don't even know what you're doing? You don't know what you're doing. Do you play any musical instruments now? That's what it is? Chords the frets are different so they have like different chords already set up so they can go back and forth I'm imagining that's what it is

31:21 Kirk Cobain was left in you know, there's a high instance of left-handed genius. did figure out is that left-handed people are better at fighting because and one of the reasons but they could never get their rhythm against southpaws did you watch the fight yeah yeah i'm Did you see Canelo Alvarez, James Kirkland, the next week? Canelo Alvarez is a fucking beast.

33:25 Floyd Mayweather is a wizard. You never know if a guy's going to kick you or take you down or try to submit you or punch you. and then just shook his head at him. Sugar Ray Robinson lost to Jake LaMotta. They can't even touch him. and he knew that I had some history of boxing in my family, He said everybody was afraid of him. They call it a phantom punch.

36:09 Because of his size and his strength. what he hit him with but i remember his his legs literally came up off the ground. I never saw that before. Yeah. Incredible. I think we talked about it at the lab factory. He was probably like 220. Look how fucking good he moved. Like, right as he tries to, Liston tries to crowd him. Yeah, he's amazing. Because for three years, from 1967 to 1970, he was completely out of commission.

39:05 I mean it must be probably the first round And look the way he's going down Yeah that's Joe Walcott No doubt about it. And now watch. Didn't know where his underwear was. and fucking hitting the heavy bag. I mean, he's bouncing around a little bit in the beginning, And Doc Watson's affiliate was Randall Cobb. That was the fight that made Howard Cosell retire from boxing.

42:37 No. Who was the one that he was doing, what's my name, what's my name? God damn, I'd have to look at his record. But the movement, the side to side. Which one? Early career. Sugar Ray Leonard. Sexy motherfucker. I thought Jimmy Ellis was a sparring player, too. But if you watch this fight, this, in my opinion, was like the quintessential Ali. The legs.

45:54 horrendous fights those are horrendous fights his daughter told me and may may is a friend of mine No. Right, right, right. You know, this was like, I want to say 10 years ago, maybe. That's insane. And TJ Dillashaw, who's the current bantamweight champion, both guys are great examples of people that use this kind of misdirection and footwork, it can't be much

48:15 in Vegas oh yeah Yeah, and then eventually put away. boxer just cause it was just to me fucking shit Oh, yeah. Well, he was just so He had nothing for Tyson. you know his dad was just like there's only a few guys that ever hit that like super, super athlete level. I remember when all those welterweights and when Duran and Carlos Palomino and all those guys were fighting.

51:34 And Deontay Wilder. jab jab clinch jab jab right hand clinch well that clinching with the mayweather the other night then there wouldn't be as much clinching. You know, he's 6'6". And then it forced him into some dangerous situations where Klitschko was, you know, he was really getting threatened. I mean, you might be able to be a great baseball player or be a great basketball player, but

54:17 under just a barrage of fucking punches, of all time no but no doubt about it and he's a very good athlete. But, you know, like a Jordan. broke his leg, then fought again and won, but tested positive for steroids. or these guys that, like, really weren't at his level. Because all these guys have been under the shadow of the greatest ever. Chael could have got out of that because that wasn't a fully locked in triangle.

57:14 the fucking middleweight title. like he didn't have to get caught in that triangle. Your career is amazing when you think about, Like you're either silly or you're serious or you're either sexy or you're goofy. we've seen a lot of people put time in and they've gotten worse yeah but don't you think they're And, you know, the not natural thing is tough because i

59:51 he's a poor man's you Like, he just fucking never stops. You know what I mean? He just disappeared? unless you're late, I'm stuck with him for five days from the Prince of Wales Island I'll send you a link so you can watch it online. we're gonna go kill some deer. Dom, you got a piece on you. well, surely this is going to end soon. Now, who goes out there with you

1:02:21 things they've created for clothes and for you know for Because we would go turkey hunting the other day, and then we'd go to, like, the best restaurants in the world at night. Well, maybe not easy for you. I don't see a wild turkey on the way to your house. things that they use to try to generate the sound to call these fuckers in and Wild pigs. It looks like it's a pig.

1:05:04 Look at the tusks. Look at those fucking teeth. Get yourself a nice Irish girl. In the East Coast you hear it. I never, you know, I mean, the Irish are not thin-skinned either. There was a lot of Jewish boxers. There's a lot of Jews in New York, especially, that just love basketball. Steve Schrippa good friend really funny He goes, no, I can't go, but I can comp you a boat.

1:07:30 He was a talent booker Yeah, he's hilarious. you fucking moron, what are you doing? Very big. Maybe it was. But no experience. And I remember saying to him, Steve, don't act. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no, no doubt, but I'm saying it's it's it's so weird. They're like he's a really good stand-up She's really talented. No. But I don't mind that. No, you do very well. I happen to be a chubby chaser. Are you really? No. No.

1:11:38 That was a great fucking show, and I don't even like football. It didn't die a miserable, unpopular death. I was in Philly at Thanksgiving. I'm going down. I was in Philly at Thanksgiving. You just have to make a decision. It's everything. I love bacon too. i'm a huge fan Crazy, wild, we're doing coke, drinking. do morning radio now that's a big one't have to get up and do morning radio now.

1:14:23 Hangovers dull my brain, too. I do too much stuff with my body. Let's have a cocktail, gentlemen. Oh, we're going to have a good time. Stand-up comedy is an American invention. That's ridiculous. Terrible show just well it didn't work out i still get paid either way he goes i get paid for the attempt Did he smoke? I don't think he believes that Bill Cosby didn't do it, but I think that there's some folks out there...

1:17:34 don't you think it's suspicious Wasn't he? But somehow or another, like the girl is telling you he's okay, and they're right in front of you. bitches, but I don't think they are. that they did yeah but i mean that's beside the point i mean i'm just trying to be as open-minded And then you find out he's a felon, an unconvicted felon. mean there's a big step between a womanizer and a rapist yeah Yeah, I know. The womanizer is a guy who's an enthusiast.

1:20:39 and I was saying that God, I'm bringing this podcast down. She was a star at 19. That's nuts. even though she's a quote unquote diva. He did that? like right next to him. Oh, really? any of them but by John Mellencamp I thought he was like the gritty right right like Bruce I was doing Cone and Bruce came up to visit Max, the drummer. He said, why? That's a hard thing when you're opening for somebody when they

1:24:42 you know, that started with me yeah you know that story And I even told him, Lazarus looks. Don't worry about it. They've got all the best boxers in the world. You could get stuck in a character. There's certain times in life you have friends that don't like each other. But I love you. He used to do a tremendous John Travolta. And I jizzed all over his head.

1:27:13 Really? When he changed it to that guy, that's the character the dice became. Oh, you son of a bitch. Okay, find it. all my dough. Wow, look at the people But the broad on the left of her is going to cock block. Really? No, I didn't see Eddie's. Lay it on me. Marilyn Monroe's ass. 2 million followers on instagram The style of body that women aspire to today.

1:31:05 It has. I mean, girls never had asses now. I mean, and it's like really... The ass has evolved. It has. It didn't exist. She had such a nice ass. I just found the full movie. it's just weird the style of of movies and a lot of entertainment like when he was sitting there singing that terrible song in front of all those people it's like people actually went to see

1:32:46 Here it is. She's crazy about me also. Now, lost weekend, Junior. I'll be back. You take five. Do a tune that I'm gonna The idea that he can't continue to act like this, that it's impossible. What's happening? I mean, that's almost like a parody of a movie. This is one of my favorite things. But when you watch this, when you watch him, and you realize, when Liberace winks at me,

1:35:43 It makes a crazy noise. Don't go to your Twitter. It's a feeling very close to ecstasy So natural. Look at this. Here we go. Go back to it. You can't compare to the sound of my hand. But it was enough. But it's weird when you look at old culture, They're the luckiest people. Jesus Christ, that was good. Douglas. to look like Liberace, the boyfriend did, in real life.

1:39:08 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's another one. Yeah, is there a school where teach Italians how to be more Italian. And I said, well, Robert, he wanted me to do a part in a movie, How could you not see it? Oh, yeah. It's a Tuesday. Oh, good. Let's do it. Yeah. I love it. I think this guy's holding you back. I mean, you did it with Ari. You just weren't funny all the time.

1:43:28 Like, it's one of the reasons why I don't like compliments. to be very, very funny. I especially didn't know Duncan because he never mentioned it. Little Hobo? I hope Little Hobo haunts you in your sleep. We became friends when he was an open mic-er. and just has that rant. Last night, It was like, you know, The audience was pretty good size. and you still laugh that hard and you still go in and see his

1:45:57 Yeah. He's never been better. and Joey would go on stage, and people just wouldn't know who he was. I think Joey Diaz going on stage in Denver. Sam Kinison got banned from the comedy store about a hundred times. And this was like two years ago, maybe, I want to say. No, it's not Toronto. Trust me. yeah I know he brings somebody sometimes we I said, Joe, whatever you want to do, you want to go on first, second, whatever.

1:48:52 There's nobody like that guy. And he's hanging out with this guy who's just apparently really obnoxious and annoying. Yeah. But the problem is. We've got to get out of here. Love you, man. E.
