Rolls over, arms up, ready to [laughter]. get she can't start the day without a. full belly rub. Like I almost like hold. her legs and play her like a guitar. [laughter]. and she just, you know, tongues out just. complete euphoria. Once a week I take.

all her collars off and just rub the. neck and just her eyes start watering. and. >> that's so cute. highly re I never was. into dogs. I'm slightly allergic. My. sister got snapped on by a Doberman when. we were little. So I was always a little. afraid and then it was just kind of. forced on me during the pandemic is all. these dogs needed homes. So now here I. am. I'm a freaking doggy daddy. >> Oh, I love dogs. I've always had dogs. I. will never not have dogs. I love them. I. love them.

>> It's they're they're just these amazing. creatures that just love the [ __ ] out of. you. And especially if you train them. from the time they're puppies and you. give them nothing but love. Yeah. Like. they're so connected to you. And then. you know it's just awesome. You wake up. in the morning and it's always positive. It's always hello. Hello. I wake up with. Marshall and he starts whining and. whimpering and he like I I do this thing. in the morning. I go, "Good morning, sir. Good morning, sir." [laughter]. He's wagging his tail and he's rolling.

around on his back and I'm rubbing his. belly and he's giving me kisses. Uh, >> he he loves it. He loves He gets so. excited to see me in the morning. It's. like his his ritual. He knows the. ritual's coming. He's going to get all. this love. >> Does he sleep in your room? >> No. No. My wife is a little bit. allergic, so he sleeps outside the room, >> right? >> But, uh, he is he's just a giant love. sponge. That's what he is. It's like he. loves everybody. Everybody who comes in. the house, like he meet you for the. first time, he's like, "I can't believe.

you're here." He's just so excited to. meet everybody. My dog's checks. everybody. She's got to like check them. out. German Shepherd, you know, and if. somebody has a chemical imbalances are a. little off, >> she lets me know. >> Oh, yeah. You got screw ball friends. >> Yeah. Well, every now and then, you. know, comics will be off their meds and. they'll come over and be like, I used to. know that person. I don't know that. person anymore. The dog just like alerts. me. >> Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. They're. very watchful. You know, they're they're. shepherds. They're protecting you. They're protecting their their daddy.

>> She's funny. on the plane. Like I've. only flown with her twice, but one, you. know, once to New York and then once. back after we were done on Broadway and. she's like it was nine months later. She. literally knew how to walk on the plane, where to go, where her seat was, like. remembers everything like a person. >> They're very smart dogs. Very smart. dogs. It's one of the reasons why they. need so much to exercise. Like the. dumbest dogs can just lay around and do. nothing. Yeah. >> But really smart dogs, they need a lot. of activity. Especially shepherds, cuz. they're working dogs. If I leave her.

alone too long, she'll dig up the. backyard. She needs something to do. >> Yeah. They get crazy. They're like an. athlete. >> Yeah. >> You know, they just they need work. They. need to go. >> And they don't need a lot of food. They. don't need a lot. She's She's like, >> "What do you feed her?". >> You know, I used to overfeed her and. give her a lot of table scraps and. spoiler. And then I learned more. recently that if I keep her to like a. cup and a half of kibble a day that the. vet recommended, >> you should get her on raw food. Raw food. or fresh food? >> Oh, interesting. >> Yeah. I I used to feed my dogs kibble,

too. I had one dog that got cancer, and. I read about all these dogs getting. cancer, and you know, they get fat so. easy when you give them kibble. And it's. just because that stuff can sit on a. shelf forever. It's like, you wouldn't. eat it. Why are they eating it? >> It's not healthy for them. >> Sometimes I put a little turkey in the. >> turkeyy's great. Real food is great. Real real food for your dog is the way. to go. I feed my dog farmer's dog. It's. uh it comes frozen. It has to be frozen, right? And the way they attack it versus.

the way they attack Kibble. Like. Kibble's like, "Okay, they're eating. No. big deal." Yeah. But they just can't. wait to eat this stuff. Like they get. excited. Like the little guy, the little. Charlie, he literally leaps up in the. air trying to get [laughter] to the. counter where when I'm putting the food. in his bowl, he gets nuts. They love it. >> It's real food. It's human grade food. for dogs. Check that out. >> Oh yeah. It comes frozen. And also they. give it to you the right portions for. your dog so you don't have to think. about it. Like you put in your dog's. weight, what breed your dog is.

>> and you know whether your dog's. overweight or not, and they they measure. it out calorie wise, so it's specific to. your dog. >> My dog's weight is good, but I got to. get her to stop smoking. She's just got. >> You know what? It's funny. She used to. really hate when I light up a joint and. she'd when she was little, she'd run in. the other room, but now she's just like, "Oh, that's daddy.". >> Well, she'd probably get a little. paranoid. I used to have a pit bull that. she would get paranoid that she. [laughter] was in the room when we got. high and I was realizing, "Oh, this poor. dog. She's getting high, too." She was a. rescue dog, too. I found her. She was.

covered in mange. It was so sad. >> She was eating out of garbage cans. >> That's heartbreaking. >> Yeah. A friend of mine found her and uh. they took her in for and then they. called me and they said, "Do you want. another dog?" I had one dog already. I. said, "Absolutely." And as soon as I saw. her, I was like, "Oh, >> yeah. Horrible.". >> It was so horrible. She was covered in. mine. She had little scabs on her and. everything. It all went away within like. two months of of food. But that dog, because of living on the street, she. could never get enough food. She was. always like raiding garbage cans and.

stuff. Like you'd have to lock up the. garbage can, strap it down with a bungee. cord. >> She would tip them over and she was. never full. Even though she would like. get fat, she would she was never full. >> just in case. >> It was just, you know, she was starving. when I when I found her. >> The I had the old dog first. And then. the young German Shepherd. So the old. one had all these street habits like. that. And she taught him to the young. dog. Like the young dog. >> walks down the stairs as if she has a.

broken back hip. >> Oh no. >> And she learned how to get in the car. from an old dog. So two legs. She She. could leap right in. She's a kid. But. she still goes two two paws up and I. have to pick her up. >> Yeah. That's how Marshall does it. >> Overprotective like the old dog. >> Yeah, Marshall. I think he probably. could jump in my car, but it's like he. knows I'll just lift him up because I've. done it since it was a puppy. So, we do. this little little thing. I go, "You. ready?" He puts his paws out. I go, "One, two, three." It's always one, two, three, [laughter] up. So, he gets ready.

>> Do they h do they talk to you? My dog. howls with me in the morning. >> No, Marshall only talks when he wants to. come inside. Like, if he's outside, he'll just bark once at the door just. [laughter] to let you know. >> He's really good. He's the best dog. >> What does his bark sound like? let me in. It's like, hey, I'm out here. Come on. You know, he's out till he's. not, you know, he's out till he's bored. and then he just lets you know. >> It's not annoying. [laughter]. >> The old dog, if I had to put her like if. like a guy came over to work on the. house or something, I had to put her.

like in a bedroom or a bathroom, she she. was she was, you know, big big dog. She. would gnaw on the handles. Oh, >> so I have a house full of like chrome. uh door handles that all have like bite. marks in it. [snorts] Like the the bite. is amazing. >> Yeah. You got to give them things to. chew on all the time, you know? There's. chew toys all over my house everywhere. My dog has Marshall has like a big box. filled with toys. >> Yeah. >> And it's like And he just goes in and. picks one out.

>> Yeah. Randomly depends who it is. >> I go, "What are you going to get? Which. toy?" And he's like looking around. [laughter] Picks one out. And then him. and the little dog that play tug of war. It's adorable. >> They get a totally Oh my god, >> you knew they'd get along before you got. the dog. >> He's the easiest dog to get along with. He gets along with everything and. everybody. Jaime's dog Jamie's got a. psycho dog. Jaime's got this little. French bulldog that's like a little a. little meat missile. >> Yeah, >> he's a nut. >> He's great. [laughter] He's great. He's. awesome. >> Oh yeah, he's nuts. >> He's just He's three almost three. Two.

and a half. >> He's a little psycho. He's He's jacked. He's super jacked. He's like this little. French bulldog. just [ __ ] jet. [laughter]. >> And him and Marshall just play insane. They ins It's insane. Like Carl throws. himself through the air at Marshall cuz. he knows that Marshall's like super. gentle and they just play back and. forth. But it's adorable. >> If a [snorts] dog is small enough, like. a little Chihuahua type dog, they can. put their head inside. My dog will just. open her mouth and let another dog just.

roll her head inside her mouth. >> No instincts. >> Yeah. It's crazy. Just wants it to play. It's just nuts that they those used to. be wolves. They've turned wolves into. these little tiny things you could carry. around. >> I mean, in a thousand years, they'll be. Are they getting smarter the way humans. are evolving? I wonder. >> That's a good question. I wonder. I. mean, I think there would have to be a. reason for them to get smarter. You. know, some dogs are like the dogs that. are trained like a Belgian Malamoa. Those are really smart dogs. You know,

those are dog military dogs. Yeah. Th. those dogs you cannot just leave that. dog alone. Like it's like a shepherd. times 10. Yeah. >> They look like shepherds sort of, but. they those dogs they're so intelligent. >> Yeah. >> You know, they they are constantly. scanning everything and looking for. everything. They know when you're weird. They know everything, >> right? >> Yeah. So those dogs have to be smart. because they have jobs, you know? They. use them like those are the dogs they s. on like. >> Osama bin Laden's crew, you know? They. open the door and they breach dogs run.

in. Incredible. >> Yeah, >> my dog's central whim compared to all. that. >> So's mine. >> She just wants to play. >> Yeah, these are the only dogs that Well, I've had a couple dogs before. Like I. had a a dog that was a Sheu enu mix and. he was kind of a [ __ ] Um but and I had. a a mastiff before that, but mostly I've. had like big guard dogs, >> right? >> You know, this these are the dogs of. first dogs I've had that are they're not. guarding [ __ ] [laughter]. >> Marshall's not guarding. >> They guard your emotions, buddy.

your emotions. >> They're just sweet. >> They're just awesome to have. It's like. you just have love around you all the. time and they're never in a bad mood. There's never a day where he's never had. a bad day in his life. Every day is a. great day. Every day he's happy. >> Even if you're not there. >> Well, he gets sad if I'm not there for. sure. But like I pull out the ball. It's. always the same thing. It's never like. one day I'm like maybe he's going to get. bored of this [ __ ] ball. Nope. I pull. out that ball. Oh. Oh, the ball. [laughter] The ball's out. Let's go.

>> Bouncing around, wagging his tail, jumping up. I got a ball. It's got. [laughter] like the stick. Like it's. like a long curved stick, so he could. throw the ball further. >> And you know, he just starts leaping up. towards the stick. >> He gets so pumped. I'm like, "One day. he's going to get bored of this." Nope. He's 9 years old. He's never getting. bored of it. >> When I come up the stairs, if she sees. that I have my sneakers on, she starts. stretching like an Olympian. >> Let's [laughter] go. Time to go. [snorts] Yeah, dogs are awesome. People. that don't have them, I feel bad for.

them. Like you're missing a lot of love. in your life. Especially like people. that live alone, you know? It's like you. always have a friend. You always have. someone you I talk to my dog. Like I. have conversations with him. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You know, >> and that does does Marshall look you in. the eyes when you're talking. >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. >> It's a real friend. >> Oh, he's he's like the most loving. creature I've ever encountered. >> Do you tell the dog stuff you wouldn't. tell your family or your friends? >> No. Sometimes I'm like, "Hey, Nipy, man, I probably shouldn't have said that to.

[laughter]. you." She She has emotional and like she. knows when I'm happy, sad, nervous, sick. >> Mostly it's baby talk. Mostly he's like, "My buddy.". >> Yeah. >> Who's my but He watches TV with me. He. climbs up on the couch and sits on my. lap. He puts his head on my lap. >> The best. >> Yeah. And when there's animals on TV, he. parks his head up. >> Yeah. >> You know, cuz it's [laughter] a big TV. And so he's like, "What the [ __ ] is. that? Is that real?" He has to What what. when when Nipy first came out from the. desert, she was, you know, like six,

seven-month-old, you know, puppy, but. still a sizable dog, a German Shepherd. at 6 months, is already like a dog. And. the old dog, which was old, you know, on. her deathbed, but wise, street wise. She was on the floor and the puppy was. up on my bed. It was her first night in. a home. And I put on TV. I put on um. House of Cards and it was this daunting. kind of scary music and the dogs just.

watching and it's like a shadowy figure. It was Kevin Spacy coming down the hall, his character coming down the hall and. as this like man was revealed full. screen on a big screen, Nipy did a. backflip, fell off the bed and ran and. hid in the closet. [laughter]. And the old dog Nata was like, "Oh boy.". She had to like pull herself up at her. bad legs and and and go in the closet. and tell her to come back out. >> Now listen, it's TV. [laughter].

Kevin Spacy got cancelled, they should. have just canceled. >> It was done. >> or you know, not. >> right. >> Such a good [ __ ] show. >> That was a great show. >> It's crazy. I saw him. He was in Israel. doing some weird thing where he was like. doing like a song and dance routine in a.

small club recently. Like he's been kind. of reduced to doing that for money. Is that reduced or is that part of the. comeback? >> You got to start. >> I don't know. I mean, it's something. I. mean, I guess he's just making money, you know? He's completely bankrupt. He. lost everything. >> Mhm. >> It's crazy. >> Show business. It's. >> Well, it's not just show business, right? It's uh it's also what did you. do? You know, what did you get caught.

for? He got, you know, he was old school. dick grabber. All those old school guys. No one really likes that getting their. dick grabbed like that. >> Some gay guys do. I think I think what. he did probably worked on some guys. You. know what I'm saying, >> right? >> Like gay guys have a whole different way. of interacting with each other that we. don't have. But I think with Spacy, it. was like some of those fellas were. young. >> And that's the problem.

>> Power. It's power. It's like in the gay. community, there's a lot of guys that. think it's okay for young gay guys who. are underage. to uh hook up with older gay guys. It's. a That's like Milo Yiannopoulos. Remember him? He actually talked about. that on my show. He was talking about. when he was 14, he hooked up with this. this older guy and he's like, "Trust me, I was the predator." He's like saying. that he was going after the guy. I was. like, "All right." But it's different in.

their eyes. I mean, I'm just speaking. for gay guys that I've talked [laughter]. to. It's different in their eyes than, you know, an adult male and a young. female, >> right? >> You know, but Kevin Spacy's a [ __ ]. unbelievable actor. That [ __ ] House. of Cards was so good. It was so good. Such a good show. I'm glad it's still. out there, you know, because there's a. lot of stuff. >> So good. It made me miss and rewatch. West Wing. That's how good it was. M I. haven't I never watched that. I I think.

I maybe watched one or two episodes. >> It's like an idealistic version of what. politics. could be, I guess. >> Right. Martin Sheen is like the. president we wish we had like a really. >> that's a long time ago, but he's also. controversial. He's hiding a medical. thing. It like got way ahead of a lot of. the modern day stories. >> Well, like Biden. >> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter]. And uh his wife's a doctor, so she's. helping him. Well, we always have these idealistic.

ideas of who we want to be our leader. And the thing about the Kevin Spy. character was like that's probably more. realistic. Like that guy is more. realistic. Like, >> well, as we get older, we understand you. got to be cutthroat to make it. There's. got to be a certain killer instinct in a. president. >> You're also most likely deeply. compromised by the time you get into. office, >> which is the only way you navigate those. worlds. Like everybody's compromised. Everybody's gone to that Eyes Wide Shut. party,

>> right? [laughter]. >> I couldn't get in, just for the record. >> Yeah, me neither. >> Uh, >> yeah. I don't I don't want to get in. >> I know. That's a good thing. A dog can. kind of save your career cuz like you. get invited to some wild sex party. You. be like, I got my dog's been waiting for. me for 5 hours. Sorry, I I can't go. >> Yeah. Meanwhile, it's better to just. hang out with your dog. You'll have a. better time and you won't feel gross in. the morning, I guess. But I think a lot. of those people are sociopaths. They. probably don't even feel gross ever. >> I was out all weekend for the Fanatics.

football stuff with Travis Scott's DJing. till 3:00 in the morning. >> What is the Fanatics football stuff? >> They had a flag football tournament in. LA. It was supposed to be in in Riott. and they had to move it to LA. Tom Brady. and and uh and the Fanatics. Uh. >> what's the Fanatics? >> It's like um I guess it's a branding. company. They do all the jerseys. They. do all the. >> Oh. Um, Michael Rubin and Michael. Ratner, two friends of mine, did this. flag football game and I was just. partying. I just took the weekend off.

and I'm like seeing all the football. players and and it was just so much fun. And then just as the party's really. getting hot, I'm like, I miss my dog. I'm going home. >> Yeah. There's always this thing in the. back of your head like, I got to get. home. He's been home alone for 5 hours. He's been home alone for six hours. I'm. thinking about him. He has to pee. He's. a good boy. He's not going to pee in the. house, but he's probably holding it in. upset. [laughter]. Yeah. >> Ain't it nuts? Like people think,

especially comics, you know, we want to. be up late, getting drunk, [ __ ] off, being [ __ ] doing drugs. You know. what? You just want to get home. >> Yeah. >> Want to get home, chill out, relax, watch TV. >> I feel like if I had a dog when I was. starting out in comedy, I I would have. been more disciplined. I would have been. coming home instead of staying out all. night. I kind of regret that a little. bit. [clears throat]. >> You regret staying out all night. >> Well, I mean, I was, you know, you know. how it is. You You do your set, you. start hanging out in the club in the.

comedy club and drinking or eating or. whatever, >> but there's a certain. >> I don't know, you go home and you're up. earlier, you get more done the next day. >> Oh, absolutely. Well, it's just you feel. better. It's It's hard to leave when. you're having fun, you know. It's also. you feel like you're a part of a. different society. Society of people. don't have a regular job. You got. freedom. You're your own boss. I grew up. I lost my parents as a teenager. So I. live for I live every day like I could.

die tomorrow. So I never want to leave. I have ultimate FOMO all the time. I. never want to miss an event, a party. I. went to the Super Bowl. I went to. >> Allstar weekend. I want to go to the. Grammys. I love life. If I want to make. the most out of it all the time, it. works against me sometimes. I think. >> that's interesting, right? It's the plus. side of experiencing loss when you're. young. You really want you you really. relish life. You want to make the most. out of it. You want to enjoy it while.

it's here. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> One of the things I say [snorts] on my. show is I learned early on human beings. were made to mourn and move on. You. can't mourn forever or a part of you. dies. And that's not fair, >> right? >> So, it gave me this sort of zest for. living. >> You take that loss as a young person, you're you're afraid at any second it, you know, it's hard to make long-term. plans. Are your parents still alive? >> Yeah. It's amazing amazing blessing. And.

sometimes when you lose people young, you're afraid. You're all you live in. constant fear that it's all going to. fall apart. >> Yeah. I've lost a lot of friends. Like. sometimes I look at my my contact list. when I get a new phone, you know, and. you're swapping over contacts and I'm. like, "Oh, fuck." You know, I've got. like 20 dead people in my contact list. Some of them I just keep in there, you. know? >> I. >> I got old phones where like Bourdame was. texting me. I just kept the phone. I'm. like, I'm never throwing this phone.

away. You know, bunch of friends who. >> I look at Bob Saget's texts all the. time. I listen to Gilbert Godfrieded's. voicemails. Yeah, I know what you mean. Yeah, >> it just it brings me right back to them. I. >> those two guys that was those are two. tough ones. Those are two really tough. ones. >> There's that famous picture of me, Norm. Gilbert and Bob that Adam Egat took. >> at Jones [snorts]. restaurant in Hollywood and I show that.

in my special and I talk about each one. Do like a tribute to Norm. I do a. tribute to Gilbert whose family is a big. part of my family now. His kids are. great kids. His daughter goes to school. here in Texas in Austin. And there it. is. >> There it is. >> And Bob, who just became a grandfather. >> So they left quite a legacy, those guys. And I really loved them. And they would. make me laugh, you know. I would just. set them up and they would go and I. would laugh until I was dying laughing.

>> [ __ ] Norm. What a legend. >> The king. >> He's such a great guy, too. Yeah, >> he's so funny, too. And his clips, I. don't know if it's my algorithm or what, but. >> you would think Norm is making comedy. content every day if you looked at my. algorithm. >> Well, mine, too. I think a lot of. people. So, like people just share them. because, you know, he had so many funny. things to say about everything. It's. such a unique perspective, >> just an unusual state of mind. >> [clears throat]. >> Canadians. I have a theory that.

Canadians I'm from New Jersey, so I feel. like New Jersey, I grew up as an. outsider to New York. We had a root for. New York sports teams. We had to listen. to New York radio stations as a kid TV. stations. And Canada has that with. America, >> right? >> So, I think they always feel like. comedians feel like outsiders a little. bit. I feel like Canadians kind of have. that. >> Harland, he's Canadian. I mean, Canadian. comedians, you could go all day. Tom.

Yeah. >> Jim Carrey. >> Jim Carrey. >> A lot of Canadians. >> Caroline Ray. >> Uh, and a lot more. >> John Candy, right? >> Yeah. John Candy was a Canadian. Yeah. >> Uh, Martin Short, >> was he? Is he? He is. >> I think so. He's still with us. >> Those SCTV people. >> That's right. >> Yeah. Martin Short is he had a rough. month. He lost a somebody very close to. him, but he's he's still one of the.

funniest people in the world. >> Oh, he was brilliant. All those [ __ ]. crazy characters. >> Oh my god. I was at a birthday party. once and like Paul Rudd's 50th birthday. party years ago and I remember. everybody's like, "Let's do karaoke.". And everybody wanted to start. Everybody. was too like shy to like do karaoke. first. Then Martin Short walked up to. the mic, belted out like a Sinatra song, dropped the mic and walked out to the. valet and left. [laughter]. Just like kicked it off and went, "Fly.

me to the moon and he was gone.". It's weird when you get older and you. realize how many guys have passed. Like. Patrice comes up in my algorithm all the. time and you know, you just watch old. clips. I went on a binge a few months. back of him on Opie and Anthony. >> Yeah. >> Just [ __ ]. >> Ruthless. >> He would have been the number one. podcast in the world if he was alive. today. >> Patrice.

>> Yeah. If he had a podcast cuz he. probably would have he probably I mean. it's a perfect normal transition from. Opie and Anthony to podcasting, >> right? >> He would uh he would have probably had. the best podcast in the world. >> except the guest would never get to talk. at all. >> Yeah. It wouldn't [laughter] matter. He. would be dressing him down. >> He always had the funny. >> Patrice's greatness at the Charlie Sheen. roast. I always talk about this. >> Yeah. >> He went on last and he was like. he was we booked him late. He never.

wanted to do a roast. >> And he said, "I don't know this one. I. don't know that one." And finally I. called him one day. I go, "We're we're. roasting Charlie Sheen." He goes, "Oh.". He goes, "I don't know Charlie Sheen, but I think I could do that." I go, "You. know him? You don't know him, but you. know what? Do you you know it's And he. goes, "All right, I'm coming." He. dresses total rock star, like a leather. suit, like this whole. >> like fantasy Patrice in his head. And he. and then the day of the show, he's like.

complaining about his material. He's. like, "I don't know. All these writers, they don't know me. This isn't me." Blah. blah blah. I go, "Patrice, [ __ ] all. that. Pay attention and roast the roast. Just roast the roast. Make mental notes. clock it all, let them see you taking it. in, and then just go on and talk about. what you just saw. And that's what he. did. >> No, it was brilliant. Did you see. Charlie Sheen's uh Netflix documentary? >> I haven't. >> It's [ __ ] great, man. >> Crazy. It's crazy. Like, he talks about.

everything. Talks about this first time. he smoked crack. A girl was giving him a. [ __ ] when he smoked crack. >> How else you supposed to do it? >> He said it's the best experience he's. ever had. He says he's never topped it. >> Wow. >> Yeah. >> Wow. makes you want to try it. [laughter]. Makes you like think maybe. >> He was a fascinating guest, too, having. him in here. It's like that guy's been. through so much [ __ ] and he's okay, you. know? It's like, how is he alive,

>> you know? >> Some people are just different, right? Tiger blood. I was on tour with him that. whole time. >> That's right. That's right. You were. doing that thing with him. So what. happened was when he got kicked off at. Two and a Half Mend and he went kind of. kooky, he decided to do this whirlwind. tour. And the first one he did, he tried. to go and just wing it. >> Torpedo of truth. >> Yeah, >> that's what he called it. >> The winging it one did not work. No. >> But then when he started doing it with. you and he did it with Russell, Russell. Peters did a bunch of them with him. With comics, it actually worked because.

like he would have someone to bounce. stuff off of and they knew how to be. entertaining. Yeah. And keep the flow. going, >> right? >> Yeah. And then you got into those. stories and it was amazing. >> Yeah. >> It totally turned around. >> The first one I did was in Atlantic City. and he called me the night before. and I was in LA at a party and everyone. was like, "Yeah, yeah, go do it. Go do. it." So, I caught a like 6 am flight. >> He called you the night before. What did. he say? >> He's like, "My shows aren't going good.

Every I didn't know him." He goes, "Uh, you know, like all these different. people keep telling me Simon Rex, you. know, other friends of his kept saying. Jeff Ross could come out and roast you. and save this." So, I just wrote jokes. all night. You know, left the party, wrote jokes, caught a 6 a.m. flew. I. walk into his dressing room like an hour. before. Chuck Zto is literally staring. me down going, "Don't be too mean to my. guy, you know, like [laughter] they're. just trying to scare me." And I'm like, "I'm here to like work. I'm a comedian,

you know, and uh [snorts] Charlie was. really cool and and uh I told his road. manager, he goes, "What do you need?" I. go, "I need uh a podium to roll out the. big arenas. I want to make it like a. show and I need a hazmat suit." Because. he'd been bombing for like a week every. single night. I'm going to come out. I. go, I heard there's a Bob scare. I roll. out and it's Jersey, so it's my crowd. And I just start roasting him. And it. went well. And I was like, if you're. winning, because he's always like, winning, winning. I'm like, if you're.

winning, something's wrong with the. [ __ ] scoreboard. [laughter]. Old Jeff with hair. Duh. Winning. >> Look at that, >> boy. He looks so skinny. >> Oh yeah. >> That's a That's a look of a guy who does. Coke. Look how ripped he is. Jesus. Oh. man, he was he was up all night. We had. w he was like. >> so he was still partying hard back then, >> you know. It's hard to say. >> Had to be. >> He didn't let me see that side of it. >> I'm sure he was. There's no chance he.

was clean. >> A warlock. >> Oh, that's right. He was a warlock. A. warlock with tiger blood, >> right? >> Violent torpedo of truth tour kicks off. in Detroit. TV star is booed off stage. [laughter]. >> Yeah. So then after that they they kept. calling and going can you do this date. and can you do that date? It was like. more money than I'd ever made for a one. nighter. So I just start started getting. on the bus and the plane with them. And. >> how many dates you guys did? >> I went up I w up doing eight. >> And Russell, how many did you do?

>> I don't know. I don't know. >> So you just had different comics. Who. else did it? >> I don't remember anyone else but me. So. that's news to me that Russell did. >> Yeah, Russell did a few. At least one I. know of. >> Maybe there there might have been some. in Canada I didn't do. Well, Russell was. really good off the cuff. You know, Russell's great work in the crowd. >> I think Russell interviewed him. >> I think Russell like that like like you. said. That's how he did it. >> Yeah, I think that's how he did it cuz. now it occurs to me that he had. interviewers. >> on some of them. And I and he had a. radio guy and I think maybe Russell.

might have done a Canadian. >> That's a smart way to do it. Have. someone who's smart and quick just. interview because the stories are so. bananas. >> Yeah. >> All you need is the stories. just and he. was so open about stuff talking about. how much crack he would smoke and. >> Oh yeah. >> And it was just so insane. And everybody. was so happy that someone was instead of. hiding from the fact that they [ __ ]. their life up, they were like. celebrating that they were off the rails. and everyone's like tiger blood. [laughter].

I remember even Diego Sanchez who was. fighting in the UFC was saying he had. tiger blood. [snorts]. [laughter]. That's how [ __ ] that's how popular it. was getting. Yeah, he was he was a he. was a thing. >> Yeah, it was a thing. But it was a new. thing, right? It was a movie star who. had gone off the rails and was like. celebrating it and being open and honest. in interviews about prostitutes, cocaine, chaos, >> everything. All the above. >> Yeah. >> It was a totally new experience for the. general public cuz before if someone had.

an addiction problem, it was like, oh, so sad, right? He was doing coke and you. know I was my life had fallen apart and. then I found Jesus. You know it's like. always one of those things. >> He wasn't on an apology tour. He went on. a [ __ ] you. >> Yeah 100%. And no one had ever done that. [laughter] before. >> No one had ever done a [ __ ] you tour. before. >> Uh. >> I mean it was a little ill advised the. first ones, you know, when he went on by. himself. Like that was a terrible idea, >> right? >> You can't just wing it. And when you're. on Coke, you think you could be do. anything, you know? or he would take.

questions, but there's 15,000 people. yelling at him. >> Right? If you're going to take. questions, it would have to be a person. who's a moderator who has a microphone. and talks to another person and is there. so they can keep it from going off the. rails and a line of people. You can't. just have people yelling out things in. the audience. >> One night, one night somebody wanted his. money back and he brought the guy up and. gave his money back and then of course. like 400 people stood up like, "I want. my money back." Oh no.

>> He would get in. He would hear the. audience too much. >> Yeah. >> Well, he no experience with that kind of. stuff, >> right? >> If you think you could just do live. audience and deal with 15,000 people's. different personalities, then you don't. know what that's like, right? Good luck. >> We wound up doing eight shows and I. would always roast them. So by the. eighth show I had 20 minutes of Charlie. Sheen. Every city I'd add jokes. So. that's when I was like, why don't we. just do this on TV? I mean, we have the. roast. And then we did the comedy. central roast.

>> Nice. >> Patrice and all that. And Mike Tyson was. at that one. >> It's a really interesting career arc. with him. Well, you if you know his. story, he was on the set of Apocalypse. Now with his father when he was 10, right? >> And then 10 years later, he was doing. >> what was the [ __ ] movie? >> His [ __ ] big war movie. Jesus Christ. Why am I blanking? Platoon. He was doing. Platoon when he was 20. >> Yeah. >> Which is nuts. 10 years later. >> Yeah. I mean, he's doing the next iconic.

war movie, right? >> And he's a 20-year-old kid. And then all. of a sudden, he's a [ __ ] superstar, >> right? >> He was great in that movie. >> And he's just off the rails. Just like. no restrictions. He's rich. He's young. He's handsome. He's just going crazy, >> doing drugs. But he made it through it. all. That's what's nuts. >> I got to check that doc out. >> It's great. He's a great interview, too. Like, like having him on the podcast was. [ __ ] great. He's really nice guy. >> He's very cool and honest about it all.

And. >> you know, and he's also like, "Hey, you. know, I can still act. Like, how about. I've [ __ ] paid my dues. I've been. sober for seven years. Like, give me a. shot.". >> Yeah. >> He can still act. >> He's a good actor. >> I hope someone does do something like. that because I feel like if one big. movie came along, like maybe Tarantino. could put him in cuz he's the master at. like reviving careers. What he did with. Travolta and Pulp Fiction. Pulp Fiction. like Travolta was dead on the operating. table in his career before Pulp Fiction.

Pulp Fiction came along and boom, he's. back because they realized like, oh. [ __ ] John Travolta, John Travolta can. [ __ ] act. >> And that that [clears throat] role was. perfect for him. Vince, he played this. crazy hitman with Samuel Jackson. [ __ ] what a movie. >> I watch it all the time. >> Yeah, it completely revived his career. H. >> yeah. He's the like Quenton Tarantino is. like the master of seeing things that. other people don't see, you know? He's. like that guy's still great. >> Yeah.

>> And I think that's like the case with. Charlie. Like someone's got to come. along and see and just go, I just need. to get him a role where he just can. really sink his teeth into it and he'll. [ __ ] kill it. Especially now at this. stage of his life where he knows how. important it is. He'll throw himself. into it, right? It'd be [ __ ] amazing. >> Well, like some people don't act for a. long time and then look what Shawn Penn. just did. He just and he came back after. God knows how long and just did this. totally iconic, unrecognizable, strange.

character. >> I didn't see that movie. I' I've heard. all these mixed reviews. >> Whatever. It's interesting to see. Shawn's take on this. soldier. >> Look, Sean Penn's out of his [ __ ]. mind, but that's the kind of guy that. makes a great actor. A great actor. Ditch the Oscars to go see. >> Yeah. Go to Ukraine. >> So cool. >> Go hang out. Go hang out with my boy. Zinsky. Do Coke. [laughter]. >> That pure Russian coke. [laughter]. >> I like how you think that's what they.

were doing. That's good. >> I'm just guessing. [laughter] I'm just. taking a wild guess. But that that guy, I mean, how about him like goes and. [ __ ] meets the drug lord. What's his. name? What's wrong with my brain today, Jamie? Um, what the [ __ ] his name? The. dude he met in Mexico. the guy who got. arrested, >> El Chapo. >> El Chapo, thank you. >> Went down and met El Chapo. And that's. how El Chapo wind up getting arrested, >> right? >> He wanted to meet Sean Penn. Sean Penn's. like, "All right, I'll go meet." He. wrote an article for like Rolling Stone. He like was a journalist, >> right? I remember.

>> went I mean, like who what [ __ ] movie. star goes down and meets El Chapo? [laughter] By the way, that shirt, Conor. McGregor um bought a shirt that's like. exactly like that shirt and recreated. that pose with I forget who he shook. hands with, but it was like this like. funny inside joke that a lot of people. didn't catch. It's like, why is he. wearing that shirt? And people realize, oh my god, he's wearing the El Chapo. shirt. [laughter]. >> He's like, he bought a similar shirt.

He's like literally doing that. >> Oh my gosh, >> he's so silly. He dressed his gangster. El Chapo. He's literally doing the. thing, but he did it on purpose. [laughter]. >> Nuts. >> I mean, it takes insane balls to be a. world famous actor and decide I'm going. to go meet a drug lord in Mexico and. write an article for Rolling Stone. >> He's an adventurer. >> I guess. >> acting's a part of him, not all of them.

>> I mean, he must be. I mean, he's in. [ __ ] Ukraine. Like, what does he do? >> I remember being at a party. Eddie. Veter's birthday party and Sean Penn. walked in with Stormmy Daniels. Like he. has friends from the most. diverse places. >> That's funny. >> Silinski, Stormmy. >> Have you seen uh Kyle Dunigan's face. swap things with Trump and Stormmy. Daniels? >> Oh my god, they're so funny. >> So funny. >> Kyle Dunigan, he's another guy that got. revived by Kill Tony or like really got.

the world got to see him. like we did we. covered his face swap videos a bunch of. times on the podcast and blew them up. But to see him as these characters like. when he plays RFK Jr. when he plays. Elon. Like that is what really like. kicked off Kyle's career, >> you know? >> Dude, his RFK is. >> so good. >> So fun. His. >> is Elon so good. >> That's when he first started doing the. face swap and I was like, "This is the. best. My text chain's always sharing his. stuff.".

>> Is Bill Maher is Bill Maher is amazing. You know, I tried to play. >> cuz his jokes are funny about it. >> I tried to play the Bill Maher. impression with Bill Maher when he was. in here. He goes, "If you play it, I'll. leave.". >> Why does he care? I don't. >> because he doesn't hang out with comics. enough. [snorts]. >> He's out there doing his show, hanging. out with political people, being all. serious. It's like you. >> he just wants to be a what do you call. it? A contrarian. I was on his podcast. and like he literally. he just wanted to fight about anything. I go, "The Ramones are great." He's.

like, "No, they're not." I'm like, "All. right, man. [laughter]. >> How do you say Rock and Roll High. School's not great? Come on, son. The. look, the crazy hair, >> all of it. The Ramones is one of the. greatest. >> The Ramones ruled. They were ruled. >> They wrote a song over two minutes in 5. seconds. >> How could you say they're not great? >> It's nice to go see them in college, man. >> You don't have to like it, but you you. got to admit there's there's a reason. why people love them, >> right? >> Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

>> Yeah, man. >> People are so weird when they want to. say something sucks. Like, I was having. an argument with someone there like. Taylor Swift's all dumb music. I go, "No, it's not. It's not." She's got some. great songs. No Body, No Crime is a. great [ __ ] song. >> By the way, anybody who writes their own. music and produces their own music. >> Also, it's like, do you think you're. smarter than everybody who loves her? Like, she's she's literally got more. fans than anybody alive. And you think. they're all wrong? That's kind of crazy. Like, you just you don't have to like. it. You don't have to like it, but.

there's there's like people have closed. minds. I met her at Oscars' party last weekend. and she introduced hers. I was talking. to Travis. She was I was talking to. Travis for a few minutes and she said, "Hi, I'm T inter you know I was a little. starruck cuz I don't know musicians are. the last thing for me like I I really. respect and she was super cool man and. she was really cool actually and I told. her that I went to her era show and she. did really. >> she said she watches the the roast and. >> Oh, that's funny.

>> It was pretty cool actually. >> That's awesome. I wonder when they make. love if they wear helmets. Those two. What's. >> Why do you think they wear helmets? >> Just saying. It's got to be wild. >> Travis and Taylor. >> So sweet and passionate. >> Maybe. I hope so. >> That's what I think. >> You have your fantasies. I have mine. [laughter]. >> Shoulder pads, cleats. [snorts]. >> Yeah. >> Going for it on Astro Turf. >> He's a nice guy. >> Is he? >> Has he been in here? >> No. Never met him. >> He'd be a good. >> good dude. >> Yeah.

It's interesting when people are public, like a public relationship like that. Two super famous people. It's like. that's a lot of pressure and then you're. putting it all out there in the world. and like everybody's judging you like. it's hard enough to keep a relationship. together, but keep a relationship. together when you have to field. everyone's opinions of you. Especially. like Taylor Swift goes, how many [ __ ]. songs does she have about ex-boyfriends, >> right? >> It's like gez, if you break up with her, the [ __ ] diss track of the universe. is coming your [laughter] way.

Yeah. Right. Kendrick Drake. [ __ ] that. Just don't break up with Taylor. >> Exactly. Yeah. But it's just like you're. doing it in front of the world and. you're you're inviting all the shittiest. people in the world to have their. opinions about you. It's like. >> it's a lot of pressure. >> Freaking Timberlake this weekend. That. really pissed me off. They released. >> a two or three year old video of him. getting a DUI. >> Yeah. Oh, I did see that. >> Why does that need to be out there? Why. do they What is. >> How is that a legal thing to take like a.

a video of someone being arrested? Like. why is that? Because he's a public. figure. Why Why isn't that private? I. don't understand. >> It makes. >> And there was nothing outrageous about. it. He didn't. >> hassling this guy and bringing up old. news. It really bugged me. >> I mean, there was nothing outrageous. about it. I mean, he was very calm and. relaxed and, you know, they arrested him. for DUI. They, you know, they asked him. a few questions. There was nothing about. it that was, you know, like, oh, look at. Justin Timberlake. He's off the rails. He's acting crazy.

>> So, it's like he had a few drinks. Probably shouldn't have drove. >> drove got caught. >> That's it, >> right? It happens to a lot of people. Yeah. And whatever. Just cuz he's famous. or whatever. >> He wasn't acting like an [ __ ] He. didn't do anything terrible. >> and you know, and everybody wants like, "Oh, look at him. He got caught, >> right? >> You have so much money and you still got. caught, >> right?" You know, obviously get a. driver, dude. You know, you got to get. drunk, right? It's not that hard. >> He's tooling around the Hamptons. They. thought he was fine.

>> Yeah, that's probably it, right? That's. where all the rich people drink and. drive. [laughter]. >> Well, I don't I don't get having to. torture somebody by releasing the. videos. >> Well, I mean, all he has to do is just. not be online for a few days and it'll. go away. But it's like, why is it okay. to release that? Why is that a public. record thing? Unless there's like some. Even if there's a case, that should be. something that gets released in court. >> No, they release it as a public. information. But. >> what? >> Right. >> Why?

>> I don't know. >> Why? Cuz he sings. >> Cuz we live in a cruel [ __ ] world. That's why. >> Yeah. We We live in a place where people. enjoy cruelty. They enjoy Well, it's. like you look at him, you know, he's. like super famous, married to what's her. name? Was he married to Jessica? >> Jessica. Beautiful woman. Yeah. Right. He's got this perfect life. He's rich. He's famous. He can dance. He can sing. He's tall. He's handsome. >> He's a star when he was young. [ __ ] that. guy. You know, that's how everybody is. Oh, look. He was drunk. >> [ __ ] you've been drunk before, too.

Shut the [ __ ] up. >> Right. >> And if you haven't, [ __ ] you. [laughter]. >> If you never been drunk, [ __ ] you. Unless, like your dad was an alcoholic. and, you know, understanding. circumstances. But it's like why is that something that. people are I saw it came across my uh my. news feed and I I looked at it for a few. seconds. I was like there's nothing. outrageous about this. But you see Allan. Richmond though. >> No, >> the guy who plays Reacher, he beat the. [ __ ] out of some guy in front of some. kids today.

>> Yeah. Or yesterday. It was crazy. He. That guy's a giant dude. You know that. show Reacher? >> Yeah, I heard of it. He's [ __ ] huge. and jacked and he was riding dirt bikes. and he got in some altercation with his. neighbor and someone filmed it and you. know he's all this hulking guy and I. don't know what the circumstances were. Maybe the guy deserved it. Maybe the guy. was a piece of [ __ ] Maybe the guy came. after him first. But all you see in the. video is him beating this guy up and you. know he's [ __ ] this tank of a man.

He's huge. He's like 250 lbs and he's. beating some guy's ass and then he gets. back on his motorcycle and huh. >> he's doing it in front of kids too which. is kind of crazy. >> violence. >> Well, it's also it's like why you I. don't know what happened so I don't. really want to comment on the. extenduating circumstances. >> The TMZ [snorts] article, >> right? >> Was pushed off the bike by the man. >> Oh, the guy pushed him off the bike. Okay. Well, then that guy's just trying to get. it. You want to see the video? Let's.

watch the video. So, watch the video. Like, so this is after he already beat. the guy's ass. >> I don't I'm not going to show it. >> So, he's punching the dude. The other guy's a big guy, too. He might have just had a dicky neighbor. Boy, neighbors and like especially if. you got a homeowners association, they're some [ __ ] [ __ ] So this. guy, so if the guy pushed him off the. bike, I kind of understand.

the guy pushed him off the bike, he's. lucky that's all he did to him. >> This could be eight-year-olds like. >> with tricycles, >> but those little kids that are there, too, and he's yelling at him and. pointing at him. But if you really did. push him off the bike, that guy's a. piece of [ __ ]. >> And he's lucky. And he look, he's an. idiot because like even after he beat. his ass, he's still getting in his face. and he's still talking [ __ ]. Okay. Well, that's a different story. Well, that's good. That's good to know.

Yeah. [ __ ] that guy. You don't push. someone off a bike. And it's like cuz. the B dirt bikes were loud and they're. in the neighborhood. You know, turn your. TV up. Shut the [ __ ] up. >> People are just so into everybody's. business. I've watched so many videos of. homeowners associations yelling at. people for doing whatever. parking an. old car in your driveway. >> Or just like people always love to tell. people what they can and can't do, >> right? >> I've had homeowners associations before. I don't know if you've ever dealt with. that. >> It is a [ __ ] nightmare. You You have.

to sit down and talk to these dorks who. tell you what you should and shouldn't. do with your fence. >> Yeah. >> How high are your hedges? Dude, I had a. situation once where the there was all. these rot iron fences in my neighborhood. and I repaired my fence and I replaced. it with a different row iron fence and. they said, "You can't have rot iron. fences. We have a new rule. It has to be. equesting fence." I said, "But there's. no consistency." I said, "The entire. neighborhood has rot iron fences." They. said, "It doesn't matter." I said, "Well, let's go to court." I go, "I.

don't give a fuck." I go, "I'll sue. you." I go, "I have money." I go, "Let's. go to court." I go, "I'm not taking my. [ __ ] fence down." And they're like, "You're going to take your fence down.". I go, "You're not going to tell me. anything, >> right? >> You're not going to tell me what to do. just because I go, it looks great. It's. not like it's a blight on the. neighborhood. The house is beautiful. Shut the [ __ ] up." And eventually I won. >> Did you Did you have to sue? >> Well, I threatened to sue and they. backed off because they were afraid of. suing. They were afraid of lawsuits cuz. then you'd have to they would have to. use the Homeowners Association funds to.

do this. And it didn't make any sense. Like I talked to a lawyer about it. I. said, "Does this make any sense?" He. goes, "No, there's a precedent in the. neighborhood. Like every third house had. rot iron fencing. And it wasn't like it. wasn't good-looking. Like it was. beautiful. It was new. It was clean. I. had a reputable company build it. There's nothing wrong with it. And I was. replacing row iron fence with more row. iron fence. It was just better. It was. like the fence was broken. It looked. shitty. It was like, you know, they get. rusty where they connect. And I had to. get it replaced. >> So what on earth was their problem?

>> Just [ __ ] [ __ ] This is how [ __ ]. they are. I had a neighbor who he lived. across the street. He told me that I had. to trim my trees and thin them out so. that he could see the view in the. distance. And I said, "What are you. talking about?" And he said, "We have a. regulation that says you can't obstruct. the view." I go, "These trees have been. here for 50 years." And then I talked to. the guy who sold me the house. He's. like, "That [ __ ] was trying to do. that with me, too. Just tell him to [ __ ]. himself." Yeah.

>> He's just a weird guy. He said he built. an observation deck at the top of his. hill in his backyard. So he could see. like the lights of the city in the. distance and he wanted you to cut your. trees down. So you're obstructing the. view. I go, "Your house is obstructing. my view of this hill. I like to look at. hills." Is that what we're going to do? Take your house down. You take your. house down. I'll trim these trees. [ __ ]. you, man. >> Lift this house up. >> He's like, "Oh, so it's going to be like. that." I go, "Going to be like what? You. want me to cut trees down so you can. see?" Like you don't have a view, man.

You're not on the edge of the hill. You're you're back set. This is what the. view looks like from where you are. This. house has been here before your house. was there. Yeah. Go eat [ __ ]. >> You could have asked nice and maybe you. would have done something. >> I wouldn't have done a [ __ ] thing. It's not It didn't make any sense. It's. just people want to tell people what to. do. Like I was reading this article. where this homeowners association hired. a tow company to go around the. neighborhood and tow all the cars that. had expired tags.

Can you imagine like you know your tax's. expired like ah [ __ ] I'll get to it I'm. I'm busy I'll get to it next week you. know you figure you're just running. around and then all a sudden they tow. your car like [ __ ] you man like [ __ ] you. just people love to tell other people. what to do and homeowners associations. when they get power they become like the. little hall monitors of the neighborhood. >> you know your grass is unruly you it's. supposed to be two inches it's poor like.

just people people love to do that. They. love to tell people what to do and what. not to do. >> I have one neighbor who kind of runs the. whole block and she puts everyone on an. email chain and she's pretty she leads. with love, but she looks out for. everybody. >> Well, as long as I'm looking out is not. bad. It's just like nonsense. Like the. guy wanted me to trim the trees. He. wanted me to thin out my You want me to. chop the trees down? He goes, "No, I. just want you to thin them out. you can. thin them out. I go, "What you What are.

you talking about? Chop all the leaves. off so that you could see lights in the. distance.". It was like the dumbest conversation. And he realized while we're in the. middle of the conversation how dumb this. is, >> right? >> And then we never talked again. And I. would see him occasionally. >> Isn't there a safety issue with trimming. your trees, like thinning them out, fire? >> Safety. >> Well, I mean, where we were there was. The real issue is brush. The real issue. is the ground, you know, dried brush on. the ground. We were evacuated from where.

I live three times from fires. >> down here. >> No, this is in California. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> And when uh I lived in California, the. last big fire in 2018, we lost three. houses in front of our house and my. neighbor's house caught on fire. But uh. I had one my my crazy friend Bud would. not leave the neighborhood. They. evacuated the whole neighborhood. He. wouldn't leave. He's like, "I'm. staying." He's I'm staying. I'm going to. save my house. I'm going to save other. people's houses. And he [ __ ] did. He. saved his house. He saved a He saved my. neighbor's house. He checked my.

neighbor's house. My roof the roof is on. fire. He got water on it. He called the. fire department. There was fire. departments that were like trying to put. out fires in the neighborhood the moment. they started and they they hosed his. roof down. >> cuz embers will fly and they land. >> No, I had it in LA. I had to evacuate. for one day. >> It's spooky, man. It's The fires in. California are no joke, man. It's It's. really weird to see when it happens. because you realize like how nature is. completely in control when that happens. You just this storm of flames that comes.

over the hills. It's wild. It's It's wild and it cannot. be controlled. And once it starts, it's. just a matter of trying to contain it. and a certain amount of houses are just. going to go no matter what depending on. when which way the wind blows. >> But that's was wasn't what the problem. was. Was this guy was just a [ __ ]. just a just it's a homeowners. association thing. It's just like people. that think they like they there was a we. I'm still a part of this email group.

that you know I I'm still on the email. of the homeowner association. One of the. guys. >> um poisoned one of the people in the. homeowner association's dogs. >> Yeah. Like they got in some sort of a. dispute about something and this guy. poisoned his [ __ ] dogs. >> Wow. >> Yeah. you evil [ __ ]. >> Wow. >> But it's like that kind of thing. It's. these people that just want to control. their neighbors, man. It's so weird. Like one of my neighbors. >> What's the punishment for that? >> He should be shot. You [ __ ] piece of.

[ __ ] That's like killing a family. member. Somebody killed. >> whatever. He should have to eat whatever. he [snorts] gave those dogs. >> You should go to jail for sure. I don't. know what happened. I don't know if they. caught the guy. I They don't I don't. think they know exactly who did it. They. were They had no no video evidence. the. person who lived there apparently didn't. have good security cameras, but um. there's just a it's so weird like they. would get mad at someone for the way. they designed their house. And I was. like, "What do you give a fuck?" And. he's like, "This is like one of my. neighbors built a house and my other.

neighbor go, what do you think about his. house?" I go, "The house?" Like, "I. don't care." And he's like, "I think. it's ugly and this this house is going. to lower our property values." I go, "What? What are you [ __ ] talking. about? Your house looks great. You have. a beautiful house. Do you think people. are going to pay less for your house cuz. this house is boring? Like this doesn't. make any sense. >> It's but it's just people they nitpick. and when they have control when people. have control over other people's situ. like they don't have control over their. own life and their life is just a sloppy. mess they always like to look at other.

people's lives and I don't like where he. puts his dumpsters. >> It's a hater. >> Yeah, >> we all confront that all the time. >> It's not just a hater. It's a hater with. power because of homeowners. associations. And from that moment on, I. decided I will never buy a home with a. homeowners association. Never. No. [ __ ] chance. I don't care how cool. they are cuz someone not cool could move. in and then it becomes a nightmare. I. will never have conversations those kind. of people where they tell you what you. could do with your lawn. Like, [ __ ] you.

>> Yeah. [ __ ] you. When I was a young. comic, I lived with my grandfather in. the house that I grew up in. And we. would never ever ever mow the lawn. We. just didn't have any money. We didn't. care. And everyone in our neighborhood. just hated us. They would heckle us and. yell at us. So, I guess I've been the. eyesore. And now I'm on the other side. of it. My grandfather lived in the same. house that he bought in the 1940s. And. when he bought it in the 1940s, this was. in uh it was an all Italian neighborhood.

in Newark. And then um where I'm from. They started doing You were born in New. York. >> Newark, New Jersey. >> No [ __ ]. >> City [ __ ]. >> Let's go. >> That's where I learned karate. >> Is that really? >> From detectives in Newark. >> Really? >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. People don't know you're a black. belt in Taekwondo. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Yep. >> That's wild. Do you still do it at all? >> I mean, I work out like, you know, not. with people, but I I know my moves and I. I do a few in the new Netflix special. I. throw some kicks for fun and tell the. story about getting a black belt at.

starting at six, getting bullied. My mom. dragging me to the house of empty hands. [laughter] That was what it was called. Ronnie Rosselli, Newark detective, teaching me karate, almost like a father. figure. >> Oh, that's awesome. >> Gave me confidence. Gave me. self-respect, respect for others. Taught. me that hard work pays off. You know, when you get a black belt at 10 and a. half, you go, "Wow, maybe I could be. something in my life if I work as hard. as I did at that, maybe I could be good.

at something else, too.". >> Yeah, for sure. I mean, it teaches you a. lot about like the belt system is really. good because you get rewarded for your. work and then you fe see like a tangible. result instead of just like, "Oo, I'm. getting better." It's like, oh, there's. like a ceremony. Like, I've reached a. new level. Like, now, you know, now I. have to be. >> Some of my most cherished memories are. those ceremonies of my dad and mom. watching me get my brown belt, blue. belt, brown belt, then black belt, and. competing in tournaments all over the.

east coast. >> Isn't that awesome? >> The what was his name? Gary. There's this karate guy. Used to throw. to Gary Alexander. He threw east coast. tournaments and I used to compete. I. still have a room half a dozen karate. trophies. That's awesome. >> It's the best time of my life. >> I lost most of my stuff, but I do have a. bunch of metals that I still have that. are in my drawer by my bed. Bunch of. metals from the day, but it seems weird. when I pick them up. They don't even. seem real. >> It's from another life almost. >> Oh, it's another life. Like I don't even.

I until I like hit a bag or something. like that, I almost forget that I could. do it, you know? And then I do it. I'm. like, "Oo, >> right. >> Still got it.". >> I like block. I I like my kicks. I can. front snap kick. I can't sidekick. I can. barely roundhouse at this point. But. it's like. >> why not? >> I got a belly. I've. There's no real good reason [laughter]. other than I'm just, you know, >> you ever thought about like starting to. take classes again? >> If I if I I I do think about it. I.

probably could. Yeah. >> You know, you're good at kicking of. pushing me to do stuff like that. >> It'd be good for your health. Just take. a class a couple times a week. What. would I take if I was a black belt in. Taewondo? >> Take taekwondo. Just start taking that. again. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, you're doing it for. exercise. It's not like you're going to. fight in the UFC. >> No. >> Just go and start, you know, you'd. probably feel it a little bit and then. you remember what you used to be able to. do and so your muscle memory would kick. in. Yeah. >> You'd start probably watching your diet.

a little bit better, right? >> Drinking more water. Yeah. Taking. vitamins. Then next thing you know, four. or five months have gone by and now your. waist is thinner, your kicks are. snappier, >> you're going to three classes a week. instead of two. [laughter] You know, you. feel better. People go, "Jeff, look at. you. You're looking great." Like, "Hey, I started taking taekwondo again.". >> Yeah. It's not a bad idea. I guess I I. guess I wouldn't wear my black belt. I. would feel like I was disrespecting, >> right,

>> that art. >> Yeah. >> So, I'd have to reearn that. Well, you. could always take a totally new style. and start out as a white belt. You know, you take like Kyushin the shirt I'm. wearing right now, George St. Pierre. Take something else. Just take something. near you like Kra Maha. Like take uh. anything. >> My manager Amy told me she was your. publicist when you were on the cover of. Black Belt magazine. >> Oh yeah. Amy's V. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Way back in the D. >> I love that. That's so funny. >> Yeah. Um I mean I never stopped working.

out. I just don't it's too much of a. part of my brain. Like my mind doesn't. operate well if I have days even if I. just take a couple days off. I don't. feel right. I feel squirly. I feel like. I'm not balanced. You know, >> sometimes I just like to stand in front. of a mirror and just throw blocks and. just. >> make sure that I I like the way that it. feels to just do it. >> It's meditative. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You know what I used to love. doing, especially when I lived in.

California? I'd take a couple bong hits. and just hit the bag and just like feel. it. Just [sighs]. just start feeling it. Just w. >> I remember my cottage. >> Do you do you remember all those? >> I remember at least the first two I. think. >> God, I used to hate those things. I. didn't think I was young and immature. and I didn't understand the value of. forms. I used to think that this is. pointless. This isn't fighting. I only. wanted to practice fighting technique. But now I understand it's it teaches you.

body control. >> Like you, you know, you throw a a. sidekick and you snap it up in the air. and you hold it and you turn and block. and all that stuff. Like it teaches you. body. It's like a almost like a form of. yoga, >> you know, and it it teaches you to. control your body. I do a lot of kicks. in the air now and I do them slowly. Like I I and it it's really good for. your control and your balance. And I. didn't think that when I was younger. I. thought that was like a waste of time. I. thought like really what's important is. like hitting things really hard and.

being fast. >> And now I realized like no no no no. there's like a lot of value even to help. your techniques and to be able to hit. things hard like do it slowly and just. have full control of your balance and. your movement. So I like to do that. I. like to do like slow kicks in my. >> I like that's why I like yoga. >> Yoga is amazing. >> Yeah. I feel like that's akin to martial. arts. >> It makes me high. Yoga is like the best. >> You take your shoes off. >> Oh yeah. >> Your phone is gone. >> You're so relaxed.

>> It's just about your body and control. >> So calm. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yoga is so good for your brain. >> Usually on Mondays when I'm here, I. would go with Tony to his high yoga. >> Yeah. Oh, Tony loves it. Yeah. He raves. about his yoga. >> He told me he's been off it a little. bit. But. >> he has. Yeah. Well, you know, the thing. about Tony is like he's so focused on. Kill Tony right now because the momentum. is so extraordinary and he realizes that. like Tony's really aware that he's in a. very rare moment in his life where. things are going so well. So, he's got. his foot on the gas.

>> Yeah, of course. >> And he's got a new special that he. filmed that he's editing right now. getting ready to release and he's just. >> so proud of him, man. And he's earned. it. >> I always told him he would take a. different path than a normal. >> entertainer. He always had this kind of. odd trajectory. >> Well, he's an odd guy. >> Yeah. >> You know, Tony, you'd swear he's gay and. he's not, [laughter]. >> but he's an awesome person. Like people. who don't know Tony, they see like the. outside of him. Like as a friend, he's a.

great friend. Great guy. I love that. guy. >> Checking on each other and he's the. best. He was so happy. He was the first. one to text me when he knew I was coming. down here. When I was workshopping my my. show, he came and saw it in Austin. Came. to the opening night on Broadway in New. York. He's like there for his friends. He's. >> 100% 100%. Well, that's the beautiful. thing about Kill Tony is it's all about. supporting people and giving people. careers. >> Yeah. >> I mean, he's given so many people. careers and pumps so many people up.

I mean, he's he's really that thing, that kill Tony thing is also it is in my. opinion, well, first of all, for our. club, it's the cornerstone of the club. It's one of the most important things. about The Mothership because having Kill. Tony at the Mothership every Monday. night lets all these people that are. upcoming comedians see what it's like to. have one minute that you you've polished. and worked on really well and it kills. and then you pop and then all of a. sudden you know it's on YouTube, it's.

got 11 million views and then you know. maybe it's on Netflix and it's got. millions and millions of people watching. all around the world and then all of a. sudden people come to see you in the. clubs and you're selling out weekends. and you're writing and you and then you. get a golden ticket. You got to do a new. minute every week. You're a regular. [laughter] I mean, it really. >> a new minute. My show comes on tonight. It's 90 minutes. It might be the longest. standup special in Netflix history. >> Well, your show is like a one-man show. It's 90 minutes. >> It's a little different, right? I.

haven't seen it, but I've heard great. things. >> Yeah. You're going to love it. >> I'm I'm I'm sure it will. >> You're really I think you're going to. like it because it's about us. It's. about comedy and the community of of. what we do. >> It's a embattled community and it has. its like detractors and it has a bunch. of haters and a bunch of [ __ ] in. it. But for the most part, like as far. as creative communities, it's one of the. most supportive communities ever. I. mean, it's an amazing the community of. comics, like real comics that are all.

that when we meet up in clubs, it's. always hug like people think like we're. all like angry, bitter, like you know. the tears of a clown. It's not. There's. a few people like that and they always. make me sad, >> but the reality is like most of us are. super happy to see each other. It's. always hugs and laughing and watching. each other sets and giving each other. tags and and telling each other like, "Oh, that [ __ ] new bit is amazing.". It's like, it's so supportive. >> I was at your club last night and it was.

like, "Oh, comics come in to say hi." I. brought some extra chicken wings. Jamar. was there. It was just fun. Moses was. doing roast battle. I sat in on that. Then I went outside, said hi to some. people, and went upstairs and did a. spot. It's like. it's family. I don't have a wife and. kids to go home to. This is what I do. This is the people that I love. The. comedians are my kids, my cousins, my. uncles, my aunts, you know. >> Well, I do have a wife and kids, but. it's still my other family. Yeah.

>> It's like the family of comedians. It's. like a band of brothers. It's a we and. sisters. It's like a weird kind of. friendship that you know, it's like only. they know what you do. You know, only. they understand that it's like 10 years. before you're even any good, >> right? >> 10 years of being like if you're out. there and you're headlining a club and. you're on the road, like you [ __ ] put. in that work. There's no shortcuts. It's. impossible to have a shortcut. You just.

got to grind. >> I learned long and I learned though over. time. I don't want a shortcut. I like. the process. Yes. >> That's what I live for. >> Oh yeah. >> You know, we have a roast coming up May. 10th. >> It's not about May 10th. It's about I. can't wait to hang in the writer room. again. I can't wait to figure out who's. coming. I can't wait to figure out the. seating. Who who we going to make fun. of? Who's going to who's going to be in. the front? Uh you know, what am I going. to wear? It's the It is the grind that's.

exciting. >> Yeah. There's no finish line, >> right? The finish line doesn't exist. You you'll have little finish lines like. you do a special like your special. that's coming out. >> That's a finish line, but it's only a a. stop, right? >> You're stopping to get water. >> But where is the finish line, Joe? Like, okay, so I did the Broadway show, then I. shot it, then I edit it, but now I'm. here still talking about it, and then in. a month from now, two months from now, someone will stop me at the airport and. go, "Hey, I was uh my kid was sick. I. was in the hospital. I watched your. thing and it made me laugh for five.

minutes when life was. So it ne the spe. all of it is. >> there's no finish lines. >> No, there's no finish line. >> If you're sitting around going, [snorts]. >> I hope I win the Oscar. If you're Tom. Cruz is jealous of George Clooney and. George Clooney is jealous of Brad Pitt. There's no there's no finish line. It's. all the I have a big neon like you have. the neon. I have a big neon in my house. that just says enjoy the process. >> Yeah, >> that's where I'm at. >> Yeah, trust it. trust the process and. enjoy it. And that's the weird thing.

about when you release a special and. then you have nothing and then you know. you have to like scour your brain for. what you want to talk about. I took like. a whole month off of standup after my. last special. I didn't do any standup, maybe more than a month. And I just. thought I said let me just think just. like no pressure. Let me just think like. what what is interesting to me? What do. I want to talk about? instead of just. rushing to try to put together a new. hour, >> right? >> Let me just think for a while.

>> You know, I'd come to the club every now. and then and watch watch guys do sets, but I didn't do any sets for a while. >> I'm in that zone right now. >> It's nice. >> You know what? >> Scary. >> When I first. finished the special, it was years of. material building to with a throughine. and a story. And then when it was over, I was a little bit lost. Like, I'd go to. the comedy seller. I was still in New. York. I couldn't let go of some of the. and I was like I I need to stop doing. this material. And then I felt like I.

had no purpose. Like I I didn't want to. talk about anything. And I said it to my. buddy Kai and he goes, "Dude, relax. You're between albums.". >> Like he put it in musical sense for me. He's like, "You're like a musician. between albums. Absorb some new things. See some movies. Go on a trip. Have some. new life experiences." Mh. >> And then I was like, "Yeah, that's. probably a break." After doing the same. thing, the same kind of hunk for years, your your your body, your brain, like. think about something else. Absorb new.

things, download new influences. And. that's kind of where I'm at. And then, of course, Kevin was like, I'll get. roasted. And I was like, all right, I. can put standup away for another two. months and just write that. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, I go back into roast mode, which gives me I'm like a dog who needs. a job. >> Yeah. [laughter]. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. It's kind of the. same thing as your dog. It really is. It's like you need a task. If you're. just doing nothing, like the idea of. like, oh, one day I'm going to retire. and just relax. Like, [ __ ] you'll go.

crazy. >> Forget we're roasting Kevin Hart. >> That's what I heard. Are you supposed to. say that though? >> Yeah. >> Are you supposed to talk about it? >> I am. >> Okay. You're allowed to. >> My show. >> Okay. Cuz I was told not to tell people. about it. >> We're doing it May 10th, baby. Mother's. Day live on Netflix. >> So, you're officially announcing it? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I could talk about it now. >> at the forum. >> Because I was told about it, but I was. told I was not supposed to tell anybody. about. >> I don't know who told you that. >> Some people. >> No, >> they said keep it under wraps. You like. it? >> Oh, it's already a thing.

>> They announced it this weekend, I think. >> Oh, hosted by Shane Gillis. Let's. [ __ ] go. Nice. That's awesome. >> That's awesome, right? [ __ ]. >> Kevin is so pumped up. >> That's awesome. That's going to be fun, >> dude. He's out, you know, he's. >> these Netflix [ __ ] the Tom Brady one. was insane. That was so good. That was. so good. >> That kind of like juiced comedy back up. again cuz it was so wild. >> It was like the the jokes were so wild.

It was so raw. Yeah. >> And we had gone through this like weird. period of like people getting cancelled. for jokes and you know, it's like all of. a sudden like no. >> that's out that's gone. >> No, no, no. I said to him, I would I've. been g big game hunting Tom Brady for. years. It took a couple years. He. retired, unretired, but I kept him on. the line. And finally, we were shooting. promos and I was like, why are you doing. this? Because I could tell, you know, it. starting to heat up and some heavy. hitters were signing on. I go, "Why are.

you doing this? I like it wasn't for the. money." And he goes, "I want to bring. comedy back. I'm sick of the woke. [ __ ] and cancel. I want to make. comedy like fun again. He understood. that. And I caught him I caught him on a. Super Bowl Sunday. He was playing in the. Super Bowl and I saw him looking at some. jokes on Instagram that I posted and. like and I'm like this is where he goes. to relax. He goes to the roast and I'd. heard that. So as I was like he won the. game and I was like I think it's time.

And then we reeled him in and he did it. And I will admit that roast was harsher. than I expect even I expected. >> Vicious. >> I mean it was it was [snorts] a. bloodbath. >> And I saw Tom the other day and I said. it's time to take your win. You know he. was like it was so harsh. It was tough. on my family. I go I get all that but. you wanted to do it to bring comedy. back. You did that. 1.6 billion viewing.

minutes. Emmy nominated against the. Oscars and the GR like the Super Bowl. half like. >> it was the most watched thing in the. history of Netflix, >> right? >> You know how nuts that is? Think about. how many things are on Netflix. That. roast was the most watched thing in the. history of Netflix. And it was because. it was so funny. >> It wasn't just because it was Tom Brady, which of course made a lot, but it. wasn't just because all these great. comics were on it, which of course meant. a lot, right? >> It was It was so good. It was so good.

that people were telling people about. it. >> Yeah. It's and and it's like a great. Super Bowl. It's going to be around. forever. >> Yes. >> Netflix leaves it up. >> Oh, like the Charlie Sheen roast we were. talking about Patrice. Yeah. They're. always going to be there. It's be there. forever. >> I do think all respect to Tom. I do. think this one with Kevin and Shane. Gillis is going to top it. >> Really? >> I think it's it's not quite a sequel, but it's its own thing. It's going to be. the greatest roast of all time. Netflix. is the place for roast now because as.

great as Comedy Central was, you had. restrictions on language and content, >> right? >> And it was editing. >> Yes. Editing. >> This is a. >> and commercials, >> right? >> Yeah. >> Right. >> This is buck wild. >> The buck wild. >> Yeah. Netflix is [ __ ] amazing. I. mean, what a an insane platform that you. have. You can never get bored. If you're. bored in this life, like you're bored. You don't have anything to watch. Like, are you crazy? >> Yeah. >> There's so much [ __ ] to watch. Only. boring people are bored, right? That's. what they say. >> Or people are uninformed. But I mean,

even in this day and age, you could. just, you know, do an internet search. like what's the best roasts on Netflix, right? >> What are the best dramas on Netflix? What are the best shows on Netflix, right? >> There's always something. That's. exciting, though. >> It's going to be a big one. Yeah. Mother's Day. [ __ ] day. [laughter]. >> Kevin Hart, there's a guy like I don't. understand how he has the time to do all. the things he does. I do not understand. it. I'm a pretty busy person and I look. at people like him and I feel lazy. I'm. like, "How are you doing this?" Right?

>> How do you have time to sleep, >> right? >> And I saw him out with his wife having. drinks two nights last weekend. >> He must sleep like four hours a night. >> I don't know how he does it. Some people. are just built different. >> Yeah. I mean, well, it's growing up poor. and realizing that like once this is. happening for you, like keep your foot. on the gas. And that guy keeps his foot. on the gas better than anybody. >> Yeah. >> And he's ambitious as [ __ ] He's always. got like some tequila brand and. releasing this. He had a a vegan. restaurant chain for a while. Like it's.

just I would have talked him out of. that. [ __ ] are you doing with that? >> Uh well, you know, he's he likes to. branch out and be a businessman. >> Mhm. Yeah. I just I don't understand the. time. And then in the meantime, he's. doing arenas at the same time. It's. like, okay. >> And killing. >> Yeah. I don't get it. >> The roast the roast for him is back to. his roots. >> That's what I love about it. It's like. the Philly thing talking [ __ ]. >> Shane's from Philly, so there'll be a. big Philly angle,

>> you know, and we got some of his oldest. buddies coming on. It's going to be. pretty massive, I think. >> That's nice. >> Yeah. >> Well, you've carved out an interesting. path for yourself as the roast master. >> Yeah. >> You know, like you're you're it's like. an old school skill, you know, that used. to be a big part of comedy. You know, the Friars Club roasts. >> Yeah. I miss those Friars Club rows when. they were just like, you know, sometimes. they weren't even on TV yet when I was. doing them. I just bought a a Leroy. Neman painting from they had an auction.

of old friars memorabilia and Leroy. Neman painted Henny Youngman surrounded. and he painted his punchlines like. around his oneliners around Henny. holding his violin and he used to sit in. the dining room at the New York Friars. and Henny in his wheelchair would sit. under that painting and for some reason. it's all up for auction so of course I. had to grab it. >> Oh that's awesome. That's so cool that. you got it. >> Yeah, >> that's amazing. I miss some of those guys. Think about. Buddy Hackett. I almost wore a Buddy. Hacketta t-shirt today. I loved Buddy.

Hackett. >> He has a Buddy Hacketta t-shirt. >> Somebody made me a Buddy Hacka t-shirt. and gave it to me. >> Yeah, those guys are from a different. time, you know, different time. No. television, no nothing. Doing the cat. skills, >> right? >> Different world. >> They would do each other's acts. They. would do whatever. Got a laugh. >> Yeah. They were assassins on the road. It was a totally different life. And then if you had a name, like you had. a name back then, like if you were a. famous comedian back then, do you rarest.

of rare things? Yeah. How many of them. were there? There was like 10, >> right? >> You know, >> Shecky, Buddy, Nipy, they all kind of. Yeah. >> Few of those guys. >> They're not many left. >> No, >> they're really all gone now. >> Yeah, that's what happens. >> That's going to happen to us, buddy. >> That's what I hear. >> Or better than the alternative. >> What? Stay around forever. >> No, you either You either keep going or. you you saw the picture Gilbert, Norm, Bob, you know, the alternative is death.

>> So when I go, I don't want to get old, I. go, yeah, you want to get old. >> Yeah. Um, as long as you keep your body. moving, you just don't want to be an old. like completely incapacitated person. Like that's especially if it's. avoidable, >> right? >> You know what I mean? >> I went through it all year. I had I went. in for a root three weeks after that. Brady roast. I had a went in for a. colonoscopy. My buddy Jordan. had been texting our text chain. Everyone's got to get He's like kind of.

a hypochondric. So, I kind of ignored. it. It's like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." I was too busy. I was on the. road. And then finally, I went in for a. routine colonoscopy. And I waited too. long and they found a tumor in my colon. And immediately that an hour, two hours. later was on the phone with a surgeon. and stage three. and. found a specialist, took care of it. right away, but never felt doomed.

>> Have you changed your diet after that? >> I don't I'm eating a lot less red meat. >> Red meat. >> now. When I eat red meat, it's like. going to be the best red meat. >> Why is it red meat? Why? >> I don't know. I mean, for me, growing up. in a catering hall in New Jersey around. pastrami and prime rib, and he said that. that was a big cause of colon cancer. >> Really? >> Yeah. And processed foods. >> Processed makes sense. >> Yeah, >> that makes sense. >> So, I'm eating a lot less of that. >> Yeah. >> I moved over to turkey and chicken and a.

little bit of fish. >> and cut out the processed stuff. >> as much as I can. >> What about alcohol? Did you cut that. out? >> I I I've never been a big drinker. >> That's good. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Uh, it's a little wakeup call when. you have a health scare. Little wakeup. call. Time to take care of yourself. >> I just had to, you know, I talk about. this in my show. Like I had my cheop. port in on Broadway on the show and I. was like still kind of in it. It's like. I was having a human experience on. stage. And just two weeks ago, I had the.

port the chemo port taken out. my sister. came down to celebrate and hang with me. and and uh it's like a war prize. Like I. hold the port where they put the chemo. Like I have it on my desk now. And and. and. let's just say they take a they put a. lot more in people than they take out. So I feel very lucky. Like survived it. all. And. >> damn, I'm glad you're alive. >> People die with those [ __ ] ports in. them. >> They do. They Well, they die with. cancer. That's for damn sure. Colon.

cancer is a very common one. This guy. James Vanderbeek, younger than me. >> I know. I met him. He was a nice [ __ ]. guy, man. He came to the club, hung out. with his wife in the green room. Sweetest guy. Just such a nice guy. And. apparently he was struggling back then. I didn't know. He looked real thin, you. know. >> So, when you asked me right when you. walked in, how are you doing? I was. like, great. You know, like it was a it. was a pointed question and you asked. >> politely and innocently and I was like,

>> "Yeah, I didn't know that you had gone. through that.". >> Yeah. Yeah. >> God, I haven't really I haven't seen you. in When? When was the last time I saw. you? >> I saw you in DC. I saw you in New York. for Kill Tony. >> briefly. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> We didn't like sit down and. >> No, we had a drink. Was it your birthday. in New York when you were doing Kill. Tony. >> or was it here? One of the I think it. was in August. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember that. But. then I saw you in DC when you were with. your family. It was quick. But uh.

I see I feel like I see you because I. pop into the mothership, but I always. pop in on the weekends when you're off. >> Yeah. >> But uh yeah, it was a crazy thing, man. I never been sick a day of my life. I've. always had that like my grandfather used. to call it world beater energy. Like I. always felt invincible. Never never. thought for a second it would be me. >> Yeah. And then I did wait too long to. get a colonoscopy. And they're not a big. deal. Like guys are afraid of. colonoscopies because. >> something's up your butt. >> Yeah. But in the end, it really isn't up.

your butt. It's a doctor look checking. you out. You're out. >> They tell you when you wake up, [laughter] they go up your butt, bro. >> And get the endoscopy. Especially for. smokers and stuff like that. [cough]. [clears throat] And like for what for. what is essentially like. >> a one day inconvenience. >> they can really save your life. It did. save my life. >> Well, I'm glad you cleaned up your diet. >> Yeah. >> You know, you got to do that cuz I know. that you are. I mean, I've run into you. at Cat's Deli before, too.

>> That's another thing I needed to talk to. you about. >> What? >> I forgot all about [snorts] this till. you brought it up. Do you remember. running into me at Cats's Deli with. Tony? And. I guess you must have been in town doing. standup or something a few this like. already 10 years ago. >> I don't think it was that long ago, was. it? >> I I it was. And I'll tell you how I. know. One of the things when I. when I got booked on this appearance, I. said I make make a mental note. I owe.

Rogan an apology. And it's not a big. deal, but it always kind of bugged me. I came in to say hi. and I was self-conscious because. I had something wrong with me and I. didn't know what it was. And you said, "What's with your. eyebrows?". And I like I like I like kind of. shoulder shrugged and you were like, "Is. it for a roll?" And I was like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah.". >> Oh,

>> do you have any recollection? >> I do. I do. >> And I lied. >> Yeah. Because I was in. >> You said I shaved him off for a roll. I. was like, "Oh, that's crazy. What are. you playing?". >> I I was embarrassed because I had. alipcia. Didn't really understand what was. happening to me yet. And I You saw the I. had a big. >> fro, >> big bushy eyebrows. Like I was like the. Propecia man of the year, you know, [laughter]. and. I don't know what causes it. It's an.

autoimmune thing. It's not. life-threatening, but. suddenly I looked completely different. My fame, like if anyone ever recognized. me, walking into a restaurant, you know, get a good table, skip the line, it was. all gone. Just suddenly in in within a. few weeks, I was I remember being at. Zy's in Nashville and just scratching my. head and like a big clump of hair came. out. Then I was on a plane and I was. like, there's no hair on my leg. What.

the [ __ ] going on? And then within a. month, me and Adam EGAT and Tony went to. the barber shop on Melrose. They came. with me because I was kind of like. shaken up like what is happening to me? Am I dying? >> So it happened really quickly. >> It happens all within a few weeks. >> All your hair fell off within a few. weeks. >> And then when I thought it was done, eyebrows started going and I and then. eyelashes. So, sweat, salt, was like I.

was like, "What the fuck?" And I don't. even recognize myself. And. >> is there anything they do that reverses. that? >> There's some medications. Dr. Drew actually hooked me up with a. research doctor Brett King at he was at. Yale at the time in Connecticut and I. did have some restoration of eyelashes. and eyebrows but the the side effects. were a little bit scary and it and.

they lower your immune system a little. bit. So, I did that for years. and then when I got cancer, I was like, "Fuck those meds. I can't do it. anymore.". >> Right. >> And the chemo, eyebrows, eyelashes gone. again. >> Wow. >> And and now I'm literally like hairless. Like I have no hair. And you know, you. learn to live with it. You know, you got. to channel your inner rockstar. >> Listen, there's worse things that can. happen anymore. >> Believe me, I get it.

>> You know, >> right, >> more than anybody. But I it always. dinged me because you and I have been. friends a long time. We have an honest. friendship, comics, brutal honesty, truth. >> And I looked you right in the eyes and I. was like, "Yeah, yeah." I went with it. >> I found out slightly after that that you. had alopecia from other people cuz. someone else brought it up and someone. said, "Oh, he's got alopecia." I went, "Oh." I asked him at Cat's Deli and he.

said he shaved his eyebrows off for a. roll. I just felt like you're probably. embarrassed. And I totally understood. like it's weird, >> right? >> They they say a lot of these autoimmune. issues uh come from inflammation and a. lot of inflammation comes from what you. eat, >> right? You know, >> doctor would tell me that wasn't true. So, >> yeah, doctors aren't always right. And. one of the things they're not always. right about is nutrition and the impact. that nutrition has, particularly on. autoimmune issues. >> Very few doctors have any knowledge or. any education in nutrition and the.

impact it has. I mean, your entire body. is built out of and reconstructed from. what you consume, right? >> That's the only thing that your body has. in order to your body makes new cells. Your body replenishes cells, recreates. all the tissue, there's only one way to. do it. It's got to be what you eat. >> Yeah. >> It's the only thing. What you drink, what you eat, that's it. >> And if you're eating a bunch of. processed stuff that has. >> a bunch of [ __ ] and preservatives. and. >> what causes dealing with inflammation, well, a lot of things. Allergies cause.

inflammation. um processed food cause. inflammation, excess sugar causes. inflammation, alcohol, there's a lot of. things that people eat that cause. inflammation. >> But it's really genuinely a thing of a. balance of, you know, your diet and, you. know, what your body has to work with. you know, if your body doesn't have any. nutrients to work with, no vitamins, no. minerals, you know, you're dehydrated, you're drinking too much sugar, you, you. know, things start malfunctioning and.

misfiring. And then, you know, there's. there's a bunch of different. consequences for having high. inflammation diet. And for a lot of. people, it's sugar. Um, sugar is one of. the leading causes of inflammation, especially in the standard American diet. because the standard American diet is. just riddled with excess sugar, corn. syrup, and [ __ ] and preservatives. and. >> your body just after a while just gets. tired of processing that stuff. >> and then you start encountering a bunch.

of issues. And uh I know there's a lot. of autoimmune issues that people have. had uh success in reversing by. completely cutting out everything other. than whole foods. Just eating chicken. and meat and vegetables and drinking. water and that's it. Cutting out all the. [ __ ]. >> Yeah, I got to do better. >> Have you ever gotten blood work done. where you find out? >> Well, now I have to do it all the time. >> Do you do you ever get blood work done. from like a comprehensive laboratory. that's looking at your nutrient levels. and all those different things? I don't.

know if I've done that. >> We should do that. There's a place in. town, Ways to Well, I'll send you there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. They'll they're really good. I. mean, they do they take a shitload of. blood and they do these really. comprehensive blood panels. They can. scan for cancer, too, by the way. >> Well, that I've done. >> Yeah, that's a big one, you know, because they can check for any kind of. cancer in your body. >> Well, now that I'm through all that, I'm. much more open to taking care of myself. and staying on it. And. >> the first time I did that one, >> the first time I did that one, I was. like, is a scary one. And I was like,

boy, I hope I don't have cancer. I don't. know about it. When it came out, zero, I. was like, but I do so much to take care. of myself. I do a sauna every day, cold. plunge. I take a ton of vitamins. I'm. always exercising. I eat probably like. 99% clean. Every now and then I'll [ __ ]. off and or if my daughter makes cookies, I'll eat cookies. >> But for the most part, I give my body. cookies. She she's really good. She. bakes a bunch of different stuff. Today. was white chocolate chip cookies. They're really good. I had one I had one.

this morning. >> But for the most part, it's your body. can only use what you put in it. There's. no other building blocks. It doesn't. have anything else, >> right? >> There's nothing else it can draw from. And that's one of the problems is when. you don't give your body what it needs, it starts taking things out of the. tissue. It starts taking things. That's. where osteoporosis comes from. Your body. starts literally taking calcium out of. your bones. >> [snorts]. >> you know, you got to give your body the. building blocks. Without that, it. doesn't know what the [ __ ] to do. >> And slowly but surely, you start to.

deteriorate, you know, and there's a. giant difference between giving your. body a nutrient-dense, healthy diet and. not, >> you know, and taking care of yourself. and exercising and not and and drinking. much water and electrolytes and not. >> There's a giant difference. And it's all. your body just cannot recreate itself. correctly. It cannot build itself and. repair itself correctly unless it gets. the the the proper nutrients. That's where a lot of people's issues. come from. And doctors don't tell you.

that. Like, um, I had a family member. that got real sick and the doctor said. they got cancer and the doctor said, "It. doesn't matter what you eat." I go, "Well, [ __ ] that doctor. That's not. true. This doctor's telling you you. could eat cake and just take chemo and. you'll be fine." That's horshit. That's. not true. That's not true. Because they. should, one of the things they should. tell you immediately is get on a. ketogenic diet. Cuz one of the things. that uh has been proven is that cancer. uses glucose to survive. And you know, autophagy, which comes from fasting, is.

one of the best ways that people can get. rid of errant cells and cells that are, you know, misfiring. >> Make your body burn off fat. Use ketones. for energy and and just get rid of all. the dead cells. Get rid of all the [ __ ]. that your body doesn't need. And if you even want to do that, do. intermittent fasting, you know, where. you only have a period of time where you. eat. Like give yourself like a 16-hour. window with no food and then start. eating after that. >> But how do you keep your.

How do you not be cranky and lose your. mind doing that? >> Because your body's relying on. carbohydrates, right? So when your body. is not relying on carbohydrates and your. body's burning off ketones, you don't. have that problem. You don't have that. crashing problem. The crashing problem. is from a high carbohydrate diet and. I've had that before. Look, I'm Italian, so it's carbohydrates was my thing. You. know, it's all about pasta and pizza and. I love that stuff. I just love it. And. that's my cheat food. If I'm going to. cheat, I'm going to eat Italian subs and.

that kind of [ __ ] But [snorts]. >> when your body gets accustomed to that, first of all, you get a big insulin. spike. You crash. You get exhausted. >> The way to avoid that is to get your. body to start using fats. And the way. your body uses fats is that's what you. give it for fuel and your body adjusts. and then your body does something called. gluconneogenesis where it starts using. meat and protein and turning that into. glucose. And when you go through this. process, it's a shaky process at first.

like you get what they call the keto flu. originally initially rather where you. you get tired all the time. You're like, "Oh, this is exhaust and you work out. suffer. It's like you have no energy.". But eventually your body adapts and your. body just gets accustomed to using fats. And when your body gets fat adapted, first of all, your brain works better. You get an extra gear in terms of like. your ability to think and communicate. And it just feels like you have more. energy. You don't need naps and you. don't crash after you eat.

>> That's why when you're saying like you. shouldn't eat red meat, I eat mostly red. meat. That's like most of my diet, right? That's like 80% of my diet. >> Yeah. Why? I mean, it's an addiction for. me. I don't think it's an addiction. I. think it's the most nutrient I think. it's the most nutrientdense food in the. world. The problem is processed red. meat, right? So, if you're eating a. bunch of processed [ __ ] that has a bunch. of preservatives in it, yeah, that's not. good for you. But like a ribeye steak, a. grilled ribeye steak, there is nothing. wrong with that. It's one of the most. healthy foods you can eat. And it has.

everything you need. It has plenty of. vitamins. It has fat. It has all the. things that your body naturally knows. how to process. And people have been. eating that food from the beginning of. time. >> Yeah. You just got to get educated in. it. And it's like most people, especially particularly most doctors. I've had conversations with doctors. where they've said you get everything. you need from a balanced diet. And I'm. like, [ __ ] you. You don't know anything. Like how much time did you spend in. medical school learning nutrition? Was.

it even an hour? Was it a day? Like it. takes a long time. And there's real. researchers who have spent decades. understanding the the balance of. nutrient-dense foods and vitamin. supplementation and and what vitamin. supplementation can cure and fix and. what's it what it's good for and how to. balance it out and what vitamins work. synergistically with other vitamins. Like if you're taking vitamin D3, which. is fantastic for your immune system, you. have to take it with K2, you should take. it with magnesium as well. Like you gota.

you got to know these things. And most. doctors, they just they talk out of a. they they talk out of a voice of. authority about something they're not. educated in, right? >> They're educated in getting people in. and out of their office as quick as. possible and getting that insurance. money. And that's what they do. [clears throat]. >> And most of them, they talk like they're. authorities. Meanwhile, they have a gut. You're sitting there looking at this guy. who looks like [ __ ] and he's telling you. about health. Like, bro, you're not. healthy. Don't talk to me about health. This is angry. It makes me angry. >> It really does.

>> I get it. It's it's infuriating because. it's like these people, you count on. them as authorities and really they're. just they're just paying off their. student debt. They're paying off their. [ __ ] loans. They they have uh insane. malpractice insurance they have to. cover. They have a giant monthly nut and. they're trying to push pharmaceutical. drugs on you as much as they can because. they get compensated for that. And. that's what they do. And this is the. standard American health system. It's a. real problem. >> Yeah, >> it's a real problem. And it leaves us. sicker. >> You know, this is the thing that RFK Jr. is trying to balance. Like we are, we.

spend more money on health care than. anyone in the world. We make more money. than anyone in the world. And we're. sicker than anyone in the world. We. spend more money than we ever have on. healthcare. We're sicker than we've ever. been. >> We're living the life. We're eating. well. >> It's not it. So, we're eating [ __ ] You. know, if we were just eating healthy, the people that are just eating healthy. have way less problems, way less health. consequences, way less issues, way more. energy, way more mental acuity, all. those things because that's how your.

body is supposed to live. For thousands. and thousands of years, what did we do? We ate fruit. We ate vegetables. We ate. meat and chicken and fish and eggs. And. that's what you're supposed to eat. >> That's real food. >> Most of these things that sit on a. shelf, you're not supposed to eat those. Just like your dog, like your dog's not. supposed to be eating kibble kibble, >> right? >> You know, feed your dog raw food, your. dog's gonna go bonkers. Feed your dog. human grade food, like farmer's dog, your dog will go crazy. Watch how she. eats it. Watch the difference the way it.

>> My dog can't wait. He's dripping water's. dripping off of his mouth before I feed. him. He's like sitting there waiting. like stay. And I'm putting it in the. bowl. Okay. He like attacks it. >> Like Jamie, you were saying that about. your dog, right? Like that Carl like. when he was eating kibble, he wasn't. even interested. >> Yeah. I I didn't even have Excuse me. [clears throat] Never had a chance to. even give it to him. He would never. never ate it. [laughter]. >> You just sit there like, "Well, what do. you how do you You're a How do you Who's.

been feeding you? What have they been. like? How did they get in your body?". But I always give my dog the whole time. >> But I give her like turkey, you know, putting it. Sometimes if I have turkey. or chicken around, I'll put it in her. bowl. I always give her, you know, like. a cat's deli when you order the. sandwich, they give you a little piece. before. >> Yeah. >> I always get her a little piece to get. her salivated. >> and she snaps it. >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. >> Yeah. Cuz it's real food. That's what. people are supposed to be eating too, man. We're supposed to be eating real. food. You know, we [clears throat] got. tricked because things have to stay in.

the supermarket. You gota you got to be. able to sit it on the shelf and it's got. to be able to stay there for a few. months. That's how you make your profit. That's why milk is homogenized and. pasteurized. They'll try to scare you. off raw milk, [ __ ] I drink raw milk. every week. There's nothing wrong with. raw milk. You just can't get it from a. shitty farm. Just like you can't get. meat that's rotten. Just like you can't. get sushi that's rotten. Just every day. How bad is that for me? >> Ice cream is actually not that bad. Ice. cream. When you think about bad things. to eat, ice cream is probably one of the.

best desserts to eat because ice cream. has fats from the cream. It has protein. from the milk and it does have sugar. So, you got a little bit of sugar, but. you're absorbing that sugar along with. all the fat and all the cream. And it. probably is way better for you. It's way. better for you than sugar. Like drinking. like a soda. Like a soda is the most. alien form of sugar your body absorbs.

Your body doesn't know what the [ __ ]. this is cuz sugar in nature comes from. like an orange. It has all this fiber, you know, and you're you're you're. eating it and it's a slow digestive. process. That's why you don't get this. crazy spike. But orange juice is [ __ ]. nuts. Like you take all the fiber out. and now you just have just pure sugar. water and you think you're being. healthy. Well, you're not. Okay, look. You get a little bit of vitamins from. the vitamin C that's from the oranges, but you're you're not supposed to eat it.

that way. You're supposed to eat an. orange, >> right? >> Like apple juice, >> right? >> Like my daughter's like very conscious. of like food and like what's in it. And. she she pul we we went to the. supermarket and she was going to get an. apple juice. She's like, "This has 30. gram of sugar. this little thing at 30. grams of sugar. Like that's crazy. That's just you're just you might as. well have a Coca-Cola, right? >> It's kind of the same thing. >> Yeah. >> Your body like I think there's a there. was some paper that was written recently.

about ice cream actually being good for. you and by far the best of desserts that. you can eat because it's it's milk and. cream, you know? It's like there's. there's actual food in ice cream. >> I crave it every night. Ice cream not. that bad? Look at this. Can ice cream be. healthy? What recent studies actually. show. Recent research has sparked debate. about ice cream's place in a balanced. diet. By examining long long-term health. studies, scientists are exploring. whether moderate consumption may have. unexpected links to certain health.

outcomes. So ice cream has long been regarded as. classic indulgence rather than a healthy. food. D. The discussion largely emerged. Okay. However, in recent times, some. surprising research has sparked the. debate among nutrition scientists by. saying that consumption of ice cream may. be related to certain unpredictable. health outcomes. The discussion largely. emerged from data analyzed in. long-running research projects such as. Nurses Health Study and Health. Professional Follow-up Study, two major. epidemiological studies that track diet.

and health outcomes over decades. Researchers examined dietary patterns. among participants with type two. diabetes. Notice unusual pattern related. to ice cream consumption. discussion. earned. Okay, what is the the. discussion? Consuming ice cream more regularly. sometimes appear to have lower risks of. certain health conditions, especially. cardiovascular disease amongst. individuals who have type 2 diabetes. The problem is with um epidemiological. studies, you're just basically like. filling out a form as to what you ate.

and they track that with like large. study groups of people and they try to. figure out okay that's one of the ways. they find out like oh the people that. eat red meat more are are sicker. But. that's also like what are you eating. right? You eating burgers that you call. red meat with sugar with a with a. Coca-Cola and some fries like cuz that's. what a lot of people are eating. So, it's not like grass-fed steak with a. salad, >> you know? That's not the problem. [snorts]. >> Remember Craig who came in here? Craig. from Craigs. He told me to say hi.

>> I love Craig. >> You said steak and I thought about. steak. >> Oh, he makes a great steak. >> That was my joke when I got colon. cancer. I told Craig, "You're going to. go out of business if I'm not eating. your steak.". >> I don't think you have to stop eating. steak. I mean, I'm no doctor, but I. don't I don't think steak's the problem. I think all the other shit's the. problem. I think it's preservatives and. [ __ ] and processed food. It's just. not good for you, man. None of it's good. for you. If it could sit on a shelf like. that has all these preservatives, that. stuff wrecks havoc on your gut bacteria.

When you're consuming things that are. filled with preservatives, that those. preservatives are essentially killing. life. That's what they do. That's how it. keeps bacteria and mold from growing on. the food. It's it's a life killer. And. then you eat it. Go, "Oh, yum, yum, yum." Oh, it's preserved, so I can eat. it. I mean, your your health your. healthy gut bacteria just gets [ __ ]. nuked. >> Yeah. I don't think it's meat is a. problem. >> Sometime, you know,

I was on a USO Christmas tour and I ate. worse on that than I would. And I go, "How are the [snorts]. Yeah, >> that's something they should fix. >> That is something they they're trying to. fix that. RFK Jr. is trying to fix that. I like ice cream and shakes and burgers. and pizza at every base. >> Yeah, it's a lot of processed food. Yeah, it's terrible food for those. soldiers. It's terrible. And then you're. asking them to go to perform in the most.

[ __ ] scary thing on earth, combat. >> It made me think, well, maybe it is. maybe it's all [ __ ] If the military. is eating the same pizza and pepperoni. that I'm eating at home, then. >> they should be more. >> No, the the what's [ __ ] is the way. they treat those people. That's what's. [ __ ] What's [ __ ] is the the way. they take care of them. That's what's. [ __ ] What's [ __ ] is the the. consideration they give to the diet of. these people, >> right? >> You're asking these people to make the. ultimate sacrifice. You're you're giving. them prison food. That's what's.

[ __ ]. >> right? >> Yeah. It's not Diet's not [ __ ]. Diet's everything. It is literally. everything. Like I said, your body has. nothing else, nothing else that it can. build itself up with. >> other than nutrients. It's all it has. You consume it. If you don't, you you. starve to death, right? If you don't. eat, you starve to death. So, in order. for your body to take care of itself, what are you giving it? It's that. simple. >> You drink a lot of water. >> A lot of water. Yeah.

>> You still drink a lot of coffee? >> I drink less. Um, I've been drinking. coffee later in the day now. Um, I've. been like going through my day and not. drinking my first cup of coffee till. like noon now. I've been doing that a. lot lately. >> Huh. >> Yeah. >> You don't need it in the morning to get. going. >> Sometimes I feel like I do. I enjoy it. I indulge if I enjoy it, but I don't. like relying on things. I don't like. having to do things. I don't ever want. to have that feeling. So, lately I've. been like, and I've gone days without. coffee just to see what that feels like.

Sometimes I feel a little sluggish, but. there's ways you can avoid that too. Like I'll take neutropics, which is a. brain nutrients, you know, theanine and. acetylcholine and a bunch of different. things that'll like there's alpha brain. That stuff pumps my brain up and fires. it up. >> It's just you get addicted to caffeine. Caffeine is very, very addictive. And uh. I feel like if I can get my day going. without it, it's probably better. >> Yeah, I drink a lot less. But I see what. you're saying. >> I love it though. Oh, it's great.

>> I love a cup of coffee. I love it. >> I love it. >> Uh, and I landed yesterday, Austin. airport. Like, I needed a coffee so bad. I'd been out partying the night before. Early flight. I land and you just want a. cup of coffee before you even start. seeing your texts because you don't want. to deal. >> And it's like the first place I go to, it's like there's a long line. Uh, I. finally get there and it's like it's a. kiosk and I'm like, I can't kiosk. I. need to just tell someone to put coffee. in a cup and hand it to me. And I go to.

another place and it's like they they. charge me and then they hand me a cup. and go go fill it and I walk away. I. just can't I get so freaking cranky and. I go to the third place finally. It's. just like they give you a cup of coffee. The kiosk and the the the no employees. just it all makes me so mad. I want to. talk to somebody. >> Okay. I don't like filling out a. computer when I want something. >> I rarely go to coffee places because I. drink black coffee and black coffee at.

Starbucks tastes like dog [ __ ]. >> right? >> It's all burnt and tastes terrible. It's. just not good. >> I can drink any coffee. You could take. old coffee, put it in a microwave, and. it's the same to me as. >> really. >> Yeah. An espresso that you're. >> Oh, I like it. >> I like this. See, this is French press. black rifle coffee. You want some? Get. in there, dog. >> That's good coffee. That's real coffee, son. >> Thank you, brother. >> That's coffee.

>> Cheers. >> Taste that. Cheers. >> Here's another problem. [snorts]. That's good. That's not not bad. Right. If you get [clears throat] coffee from. Starbucks, you're getting in a paper. cup. And if you get it in a paper cup, it's not paper you're drinking out of. It's plastic. Because the inner lining. of those paper cups is basically like a. condom, >> right? >> You ever seen when they break it down? Yeah. when they Well, if you add hot. liquid to plastic, that plastic leeches. chemicals into your body that are not. good for you. They're called forever.

chemicals. There it's terrible for you. >> So, like every time you drink a hot. liquid that's in a paper cup, you're. sucking on plastic residue. >> That's gross. >> We're gross. There's a lot of things. that are gross about the American. lifestyle. I mean, if you get coffee from Starbucks. or something like that, ideally you. should bring your own cup, bring a mug. Bring, you know, like a little one of. those little yetis, you know? So, it's. like pouring right into stainless steel.

That's how you're supposed to drink it. But who does that? Who brings a little. stainless steel? >> Not me. >> Yeti with them everywhere. Nobody. >> Nobody. But if you did that, you you get. a lot less these [ __ ] microplastics. in your gut. that also wreck havoc on. your body, destroy your immune system, destroy your endocrine system. It's uh. they're endocrine disruptors, so it. stops your body from producing hormones. naturally, which also can lead to a host. of different diseases. >> Makes me think maybe Charlie Sheen was. right after all.

>> Crack. >> Smoking crack while getting a [ __ ]. >> Yeah, [laughter] that's how to do it. >> You don't think he was worried about the. plastics and the pipe? [snorts] Well, >> there's certain dudes that are built. different and they could I mean, a lot. [laughter] of people that did what. Charlie did would have already been dead. a long time ago. He's resilient. >> I do hope somebody. >> puts him in a big movie. >> I like your idea. >> I like a good comeback story. >> Maybe he's due for another roast. I. don't know. >> Be hard now. He's all clean, sober. It's.

like, what did you do 20 years ago? I. was like, "Yeah." But now he's he's kind. of doing all right. >> Mhm. >> He looks good. Looks healthy. He looked. a lot better than I thought he was going. to look. Like it doesn't look like a guy. who's went through 25 years of crack. >> And he was sick. >> Mhm. And what did he have? >> HIV. >> Oh, yeah. HIV is weird. That's a weird. one because uh with the medication they. have now, you don't really you don't. you're not even testing positive, but.

they just tell you you have it no matter. what. It's dormant, which doesn't. totally make sense. There was a guy. named Peter Dooberg that I had on my. show a long time ago and uh he was a. professor out of the University of. California, Berkeley um and uh just. brilliant, brilliant guy, groundbreaking. work on cancer, but he had a very. controversial take on HIV. And his take. was he didn't believe that HIV is what. caused AIDS. He said the fact that you.

have HIV is because your immune system. is so severely compromised that HIV. shows up. That was his take on it. and. he was ostracized. >> You got to realize like during the AIDS. crisis, do you know who was the guy that. was in charge of the medical. establishment in this country? >> Anthony [clears throat] [ __ ]. >> Fouchy. >> Same guy. And that guy had everybody. convinced that we're all going to get. AIDS, we're all going to die, and y'all. have to take this medication. And one of. the medications they gave people was. ACT. problem [snorts] with ACT was ACT.

was a chemotherapy medication. >> and it was killing people quicker than. cancer was. So they stopped using it. They repurposed it when AIDS came along. and they started giving it to AIDS. people because they didn't have to go. through this whole process of like. getting uh a drug certified getting a. drug to go through the FDA and all they. already had a drug. So they said, "Well, this drug, this will be the drug we use. for AIDS." But it [ __ ] killed. everybody they put on it. killed tons. and tons of people. When they stopped.

using act, people stopped dying. >> You know, that's what Dallas Buyers Club. was all about. It was all about them. trying that movie with Matthew McConn. It was all about them trying to find. alternative cures. Um, alternative. medications and being able to access. alternative medications. >> He wanted everybody to use at ACT. And. he was like, >> act the reason why they use it. It's the. only drug that is both safe and. effective. It's literally what he said. back then. >> in the [ __ ] 80s. >> And uh that's the same guy that sold us.

this bag of [ __ ] with the COVID. origins and and whether or not it was. gain of function research that caused. it. He's just creepy [ __ ] guy. >> We never really got answers on any of. this. >> We will. It'll take time, but we will. And he'll probably be gone by the time. it's publicly understood. But if you. read RFK Jr.'s book, The Real Anthony. Fouchy, it'll open your mind. It'll open. your eyes. He talks about how they were. testing out in the uh 1980s, they were.

testing out HIV vaccines on foster kids. in New York and killing them. >> Jesus. >> Yeah, they tested it on on foster kids. Yeah, that's real. If it wasn't real, he. would have been sued. He hasn't been. sued for it. >> Wow. [snorts]. >> It's a dark book, dude. The real Anthony. Fouchy. I can't recommend it enough. It's a [ __ ] terrifying book. But. that's the same guy that was a part of. the movie AIDS thing. >> The movie's going to be weird. [snorts].

>> Who would play Anthony Fouchy in a. movie? >> Maybe Martin Short. >> I think it's another Shawn Penn to. force. >> Sean Penn was all about the vaccine. >> Do you miss acting? >> Not even a little. >> I was thinking that about that the other. day. You really were in this whole other. world, Joe. call times, makeup, lines, blocking. >> Uh, well, I enjoyed working on news. radio and it was very I felt insanely. fortunate to be able to work with Phil. Hartman and Dave Foley and all those.

people on that show, Steven Root, Mora. Tierney, Lewis, Andy Dick. It was. incredible. >> Candy Alexander. It was an incredible. cast of people. I mean, I felt super. super lucky. But once it was over, I'm. like, I don't think I'll ever be able to. recreate that because that was like. optimal. And I had been on a couple. other shows as a guest. I didn't like. it. [snorts]. And I was like, this is not what I like. I only did it for money, you know? It's.

not my thing. And it's a long process, dude. Sit sitcom hours or, you know, especially in the beginning days. >> It was like 12 16 hour days. >> Who wrote that show? >> Paul Sims and a bunch of other writers. But he was from the Larry Sanders show, you know, and um he did Bardwalk Empire. after that, a bunch of other stuff, but. brilliant guy. >> But that show was just like I c they. caught lightning in a bottle. I got so. lucky to be a part of that show. >> And I'm like, I could never be on a. shitty sitcom after that, you know? I.

couldn't be on some [ __ ] you know, sloppy. can canned horseshit show. You went. highbrow with Fear Factor. >> Well, I took that because there was no. actors. I first of all, I took Fear. Factor because I thought it was going to. be cancelled. I thought this is going to. be give me a lot of material. >> Like ran forever. 148 episodes. [laughter]. >> Yeah, it was nuts. >> Have you seen the new one? >> No, I haven't. But, uh, Johnny came on. Johnny Knoxville came on to do it. I. didn't see the Ludicrous one either,

>> but uh, how long did Ludicrous do it. for? >> I don't know. I didn't even know that. till now. >> Yeah, Ludicrous did it, I think, was it. on MTV, Jamie? I think he did it on MTV. MTV did it for a little while. I think. he did it for I don't know how long, but. I love Johnny. Johnny Knoxville is. great. He's the best. >> A true gentleman. >> Sweetheart of a guy. And. >> I love him so much. >> I hope it does well. You know, I hope. they don't hurt anybody. That's the. problem. Like when Fear Factor came back. on NBC, um when we came back in 2011, we.

only did six episodes. They were really. trying to make it bigger and better. I. was like, "Jesus Christ, we're going to. [ __ ] kill somebody, right?". >> It felt like it. It felt like when it. was cancelled, I was happy. I was like, "Fuck this.". >> Huh? >> You were done. >> Yeah. Well, it got cancelled cuz they. had a drink come. >> Do you know that? >> No. >> You don't know that? >> What? >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. They played horseshoes to drink. Donkey Kum. >> We still talking about Andy Dick at News.

Radio. >> No. No. We're talking about Fear. [laughter] Factor now. And Andy only. drank People Come. He's he's a gentleman. [snorts] Um but. yeah, that happened. That's what got the. show cancelled. But that because they were just trying. to make it as outrageous and pos as. possible. >> It's like the early You were right at. the beginning of that crazy. >> This is it. Fear Factor. Donkey juice. This is it. They had to play horseshoes. and uh they drank donkey piss and donkey. [ __ ] There was three sets of twins and.

one twin had to drink the [ __ ] Look at. that. That's a mug. O come. >> [laughter]. >> Oh my god, >> it's so foul. >> Wow. >> Yeah. So, TMZ, I think, got a hold of. the clip or images and said that Fear. Factor was doing this and it never aired. in the United States, but it aired. overseas. It aired uh somewhere in. Europe. I want to say the Netherlands or. in Denmark or some [ __ ]. >> Wow. [snorts]. >> Yeah. >> Now, you survived. >> Good times. Good times. >> Now you're drinking delicious coffee and. your palatial.

>> hanging out with you, Jeff. Hi, man. >> Dude, I've known you since you were Jeff. Lipshits. >> I've known you since your best joke, which was um. >> never trust a hooker with a. walkie-talkie. [laughter]. >> You go, I learned. You were like 25, but. you're like, I've learned a lot of. things in my life. >> Yeah. >> I never trust a hooker with a. walkie-talkie. Was that the joke? >> Um, no. It was I went to college for. three years. You know what I learned? How'd it go? Don't trust hooker with walk with. walkie-talkies. I don't know.

>> You know me since Jeff li I'm still by. the way I'm still Jeff Lifolds. My ID, my passport. >> Maybe you shouldn't tell everybody. >> It's all right. >> We should hid that. >> It's it's it's at this point. >> Why did you change it to Ross? What year. was that? >> Oh, I could tell you what happened was. I got booked on Star Search down in. Florida. Like [laughter] my first time. on TV, you know, we were all starting to. get like on MTV and Star Search. Those. shows were coming around. >> And I go down to.

Orlando where they were shooting it back. then and. um Ed McMahon was the host and he kept. introducing me by [ __ ] up my arch. this week's challenger Jeff lip shits. and I'd walk [laughter] out and I' it. would screw me up you know then the next. I'd won and then the next day it's like. this week's challenger you know life. shots you know he would just screw it up. every time and. on the flight home. I was like, I either.

have to if I I really love comedy. I was. like two years in. I go, let me think. about this. Ross is my middle name. John. Stewart was John Lieovitz and he had. told me he he did it for the similar. reasons of like no one can sp if I asked. you to spell lift Schultz right now, even you couldn't and you know me 35. years. So, >> right. >> So, I was like, "All right, either I'm. going to have to change my name or my. whole family's gonna I don't know what. to do." So Ross, it just made sense. >> It's easy.

>> Yeah. >> Yeah, it's easy. >> Jeff Ross. >> What was Ed McMahon like? >> Uh, you know, >> did you ever hang out with him? >> I shook his hand and that was the end of. it. I didn't get to know him very well. >> I heard he was an animal. >> I heard he drank a lot. >> Yeah. >> But then I made some joke like that and. people got mad at me online going, "Don't disrespect Ed McMahon.". >> Was he gone by the time you made that. joke? >> Yeah, it was recently because they. rebooted Star Search just now. >> [ __ ] people online. You can't listen to. that. >> Oh, dude. That's another thing Saget. taught me. Bob Saget, like block the.

haters. Like, you know, we we would. argue about this because like he would. block people. And I go, "Well, then they. know you saw it. Just ignore them. Let. them float out to sea." He goes, "No.". He goes, "No, I want them to know that. they're blocked." He goes, "And I don't. want them following me. I don't want I. don't want to say funny things for pe to. people who say mean things." M. >> he valued himself. >> I say don't read the comments. I say. don't even pay attention. Let them exist.

in the ether. >> Well, you're off social right now. Yeah, you told me. >> Yeah, I post things, but I post and. ghost. That's what I tell people. Post. and ghost. Just post things. It's like. people know about stuff or something's. interesting, you know, someone sends you. something interesting like, "Oh, people. should know about this, >> right?". >> That's it. Get out. I gotten better. instead of using social media. Like. Seth Green is my neighbor, good buddy of. mine, the actor, and he he he started. doing this during the pandemic. Instead.

of texting or liking people's stuff, he. FaceTimes. It takes longer, but he's. like, "It's a real connection.". >> Oh, okay. >> He'll FaceTime me, you know, and talk to. me just even if it's for a minute. >> What if you have an Android phone? >> Then you're [ __ ] And my friend Benji. Alalo goes, uh, he he quotes Brody all. the time. He'll just he'll write he'll. text me uh emojis. Positive and a check. Positive check-in like brother used to. do. He would just positive check in. >> Positive energy.

>> Positive check in. >> God, he was so fun. >> Here's another guy who's on my [ __ ]. contact list that's gone that I miss. >> I almost wore my Brody t-shirt today. I. was thinking about him a lot lately. I. don't know why. >> Enjoy it. >> Enjoy it. Has there ever been a comedian. who's been less famous but more his his. cadence has been more like remembered? It's almost like him and Dangerfield. have the most memorable deliveries of. all time. >> Well, especially for us, for the guys. Stevens, I don't know if people know. [snorts]. >> Yeah. For the guys who were around him,

he was so he was just such a unique. dude. When he would show up at the. comedy store and pull into the lot, everybody smile. >> Oh, I when I first met him, I really. truly hated him. >> [laughter]. >> I really hate him. It was It was It was. literally like the mid 90s, Joe, like in. New York. And. I can't believe I I haven't thought. about this in so long. The show that. It's so funny. The show that's coming. out tonight, I started developing 30.

years ago. My grandfather died. I live. with my grandfather. And it was like a. way to like process it and it was. emotional. And I was doing it at little alternative. comedy spaces in New York. And I didn't. know Brody. And Brody would sit in the. front. He was obsessed with it cuz I was. like talking about stuff that hit for. him somehow. And he would sit in the. front, but he would like like over laugh. or twitch around at a seat. So then, you.

know, I'm developing this like one-man. show. It was like different than. standup. and he's like he would want to. talk to me about it and [clears throat]. he would say like weird things that kind. of threw me off, you know, he would. notice the differences and I said, "Uh, listen, man. Um, HBO's coming to see it. next week. Um, could you just not be in. the audience?" [laughter]. He, "Oh, okay. I understand. I'm. [snorts] the guy who bothers you. I You. don't like me. I get that." Right. I. [laughter] go, "No, it's not that, man.

It's just that like you're like you're. like. >> 818 till I die. >> You're distracting me and I'm not like. you know I was only doing comedy a few. years. So then HBO comes and Brody I. walk on stage and Brody's in the front. row. [laughter]. So afterwards I go, "Dude, what the [ __ ]. is your problem? I told you not to be.". He's like, "There were no other seats. I. couldn't miss it." And our friendship. grew where we both moved out to LA and. we became such good friends that I had a.

Comedy Central show. He was the warm-up. I had to have him around me all the. time. I felt safer and better. I think. we both grew from like. >> I was a model in [laughter] Pakistan. cover of Camel Beat magazine. >> Uh I dated an amputee. We met on. StubHub. [laughter] What is my f? What was the. one about the uh Nickelback tour jacket? Uh I was at the Rock and Roll Hall of. Fame. I saw the Nickelback tour. It was.

in the Lost and Found, but still. [laughter]. I love Brody. Look up Brody Stevens. >> Yeah. >> I heard you talking about him the other. day to uh about about his friendship. with Zack Alifanakis. >> Yeah. >> Um and that were you there when they did. the memorial at the Comedy Store? >> No. >> No. >> Had a good line. >> I don't like those things. I was. backstage. and Brody's like college baseball coach, high school baseball coach, and all his. friends all spoke for like an hour and.

then they bring me out and I go after. hearing all Brody's friends talk for an. hour, I'm starting to understand why he. killed himself. [laughter]. >> That's why I don't like those things. >> Oh, it was beautiful. >> I prefer to mourn people solo. >> It was beautiful, actually. >> Well, Brody was a beautiful guy. That's. our world. We got to remember these. guys. >> I know we do. Well, you know, one of the. good things about podcast is like the. world gets to understand a lot of these. people, hear us talk about a lot of.

these people. I think our world is more. understood now in this day and age with. the podcast world than I think it's ever. been known before. More criticized, but. that's part of the pro. I mean, that's. part of the process of it. That's. normal, but also more understood. Like, people get it. They get it. It's a weird. art form. Remember when you had Gilbert. Godfrieded on? That was great. >> Gilbert was awesome. >> I don't think he fully understood what. was happening here, but I remember. really enjoying your interview with.

Gilbert. >> What do you mean you don't think he. understood? He had done Stern. He had. done. >> right. But but he he. this is Stern is fast and jumping in and. Jo, you know, like impressions. This is. more of a conversation which Gilbert. with in his spectrumy thing, [laughter]. >> you know, it's tough. a lot of yes and. no answers. >> I thought he was great. >> Yeah, >> but I loved him, you know, and he knew I. loved him. I was always a giant fan of. his. So, it was like I think it was. pretty easy. >> I wear a Gilbert Godfrey shirt in the. special.

>> That's cool. >> Ultimate tribute. >> He was a sweetheart. Such a sweet guy. So [ __ ] funny, too. God damn, that. guy was funny. I used to love watching. his sets in New York. >> The best. >> Especially like in the 90s when no one. knew who he was. Like, oh my god, he's. such a killer. one of his last times on. stage. I was uh at an improv in Florida. and he came with his family and he came. on as a surprise guest. He walked out. and he told this long crazy joke about.

skull [ __ ] his dead grandma. [laughter]. So, at his funeral, at his funeral, like. a year and a half later, [snorts] I. said, "Gilbert's comedy was fearless and. ruthless and subversive, yet he was so. lovable that he could get us to laugh at. a joke about skull [ __ ] a dead. person." And then I looked at his coffin. and I said, "Not so funny now, huh, Gilbert?". >> So, I love Gilbert. >> We've had the very unique opportunity to.

be around some really truly exceptional. people. rare rare human beings, you. know, and so many of them, you know, we're we're so rich in our associations. with so many completely unusual people, you know. Here's one more Gilbert story. >> Okay. >> One time we were roasting Joan Rivers. I. was producing it and I booked Gilbert. and I'm on the phone. I'm smoking a. joint and I go, I got one joke I like. but I can't do it. He goes, "What is. it?" I go, "Well, you know, like you.

Kanye West mom had recently died during. a plastic surgery procedure." It was the. background. And and uh I go, "Joan. Rivers, Gilbert, you know, Joan Rivers. Kanye's mom has a better plastic surgeon. than you." And uh and uh I go, "But I. can't do that." And Gilbert goes, "I'll. do it." [laughter] And that's when I. realized I was being a [ __ ] and I had. to do it. So I did it. So he pushed me. That's awesome.

>> That's awesome. >> He's a really special special guy. >> We're lucky dudes, Jeff. We really are. We're lucky. And especially now that we. know all these people that we just. talked about that were amazing that are. gone.
