3:49

I'm trying to say. I, uh... This is

3:56

what that is. You're single. Yeah. Should we

3:58

get the spider over? You want to be? the

4:00

spider that we saw earlier? Did

4:02

you know a spider has eight

4:04

vaginas? Is that true? That's what

4:06

Iraq did mean. Even the males?

4:08

The males have 12. Vaginas! Vaginas!

4:10

That explains a lot. That's why

4:12

spiders are always, you know, you

4:14

don't have, you're not making up

4:17

for something if you're going around

4:19

scaring people all the time. Let

4:21

me ask you this Peter. No,

4:29

Look, I'll put it here. There

4:31

4:33

gonna get it. I'm gonna write

4:36

that down. What were you gonna

4:38

say? I was gonna ask how

4:40

many spider bits you have. You

4:42

got a lot of spider bits?

4:44

Spider jokes? I have one moth

4:46

joke. What do you got moth

4:48

wise? This is so petty. Go.

4:50

But it's the only joke that

4:52

cumel. Shots fired already. Naham Chad.

4:55

Yeah. Well, Camille and I started

4:57

together. Still. And still? Yeah, it

4:59

feels like a shot is being

5:01

aimed. Oh, you mean like I'm

5:03

gonna take him down? Yeah. It's

5:05

time, too. It would be hard

5:07

to take him now. That's what

5:09

I mean. It seems impossible. So

5:11

let's get him. If you're in

5:14

a bar fight with Camille, you're

5:16

grabbing something. Yes. You know what

5:18

I mean? Yeah. His cheat meal.

5:20

His cheat meal. and throwing it

5:22

at that's the only way to

5:24

stop him is to throw a

5:26

donut at him be like it's

5:28

your day off and then throw

5:30

it across yeah so he runs

5:33

after yes and then he goes

5:35

yeah and I do his voice

5:37

anymore it's different I don't mean

5:39

how close are you feels like

5:41

shots fired no for a very

5:43

long time I would have fearlessly

5:45

done kumel's I that's now I

5:47

don't think he can't think he

5:49

can't Alame's performance will age poorly.

5:52

Because he's doing Dylan. Yeah, you

5:54

can't do Dylan voice. Yeah, you

5:56

can't do Dylan voice anymore. I'm

5:58

sorry. Like someone will be like,

6:00

did you hear Pete Holmes back

6:02

in the, hey, come in. It's

6:04

like, that is so. Yeah. Yeah.

6:06

I think you're on to something.

6:08

I don't think future they're gonna

6:11

say. I'm sorry, were you pretending

6:13

to be Bob Dylan? Everyone was

6:15

doing a Dylan back then. You'd

6:17

go to a club and you'd

6:19

walk in. It was a different

6:21

time. People wanted it. Yeah. People

6:23

wanted it. Hey! Who's going on?

6:25

Hey! Do you think he's ever...

6:28

Like, because how he really talks,

6:30

old Dylan, he'll be like, I

6:32

don't know why, people, people out

6:34

here saying, and I talk about,

6:36

hey, yeah, is he ever done

6:38

that? I think he's done that,

6:40

and I think he probably doesn't

6:42

care for it. I don't think

6:44

he likes it. I don't think

6:47

why would he? He was like,

6:49

especially because he was like being,

6:51

well, being him. Also when if

6:53

Chalame taught us anything is that

6:55

Bobby D didn't really sing like

6:57

that. No, sometimes he would. How

6:59

does it feel like then he'd

7:01

get into it? It's very similar

7:03

to how when you hear British

7:06

or English people sing, like, and

7:08

then you hear him interviewed and

7:10

you're like, what? It's like the

7:12

first time you heard Christian Bale.

7:14

Yeah. Talk. And you're like, what?

7:16

What? They're from Arizona. Because we're

7:18

singing our words now. Yes. To

7:20

their ear. Yes. This is music

7:22

to them. Yes. Yes. To them

7:25

they go. The Queen would be

7:27

like, well, put a beat to

7:29

that. Even God save the Queen.

7:31

God save it. Not very much

7:33

accent in that. God save the

7:35

Queen. What is the British? What

7:37

is the British sentence? Oh dear.

7:39

That has the least British accent.

7:41

Because there's always a couple. Like

7:44

in Irish you get in trouble

7:46

where you're like, oh, let's go

7:48

down to the fucking pub, right?

7:50

Yeah. And then it starts getting

7:52

Scottish. And then we'll go in

7:54

our truck and before you do

7:56

it, you're going to a kind

7:58

of Scottish. But then the problem

8:00

is, there are things in the

8:03

Irish accent you say that just

8:05

sound exactly like us. So you

8:07

as a bisexual. Yeah. What is

8:09

the phrase? That sounds exactly the

8:11

same in English. And buddy, if

8:13

you can't think of it, we're

8:15

asking JetGPT. We're gonna ask. It's

8:17

probably worth asking and letting me

8:19

compare anyway. Oh! Because I need

8:22

a second to think of what.

8:24

It's probably like, all right, you,

8:26

you, you, you, you, no, you

8:28

is pretty good. It's tough. You,

8:30

he. Especially where I found the

8:32

subject. Yeah. Can we get a

8:34

suggestion? Hank, Ed. Ed. See, I

8:36

was gonna say. It's tough. I

8:38

would say. Phil. Phil, Phil, Phil,

8:41

found, Phil, found, Phil, found, Phil,

8:43

found, Phil, found, Phil found, some

8:45

felons, no, no, Phil, found, Betty,

8:47

Betty, no, Phil, Betty, no, already,

8:49

Phil, Phil, found, Phil, Phil, found,

8:51

Trebo, Trebo, how about a storm's

8:53

coming, it's tough. Yeah, yeah, it's

8:55

gotta be, you're on the money,

8:57

we can't even have a subject,

9:00

it's gotta be like a subject,

9:02

it's gotta be like... Time's up.

9:04

Yeah, it's gotta be quick. Yeah.

9:06

Stop sign. Yeah, it's gotta be

9:08

that real fast. Gosh! One light,

9:10

it's as to just be exclude,

9:12

it has to be. Those testinos.

9:14

Oh, that was so British. That

9:16

was so British. I got ripped

9:19

on weed smoke, not a huge

9:21

per taker, but when I take,

9:23

I'm took, okay? So, okay, the

9:25

kind of, the, when was this?

9:27

Okay, this was probably, after I

9:29

taped my special, I was like,

9:31

I'm gonna give myself two weeks

9:33

to smoke weed. Here's my, you

9:35

want my conclusion, yes. It's not

9:38

that great. It's not that great.

9:40

Yeah, it's okay The best part

9:42

of smoking weed is you know

9:44

you're not doing anything It's like

9:46

this time where you're like I

9:48

can't do my taxes. You know

9:50

what I mean? I I was

9:52

a huge weed smoker for most

9:54

of my adult life and then

9:57

I stopped like almost three years

9:59

ago, and then I was in

10:01

Seattle and I and I got

10:03

stoned for the first time of

10:05

a year and a half, not

10:07

even that high. And I was

10:09

like, I can't believe I just

10:11

used to do this before everything.

10:13

Wow, yeah. Because it really did,

10:16

like it was what everyone talks

10:18

about, my anxiety was high. I

10:20

just felt anxiety. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:22

I felt like I was like.

10:24

It's like spicy food. You get

10:26

used to your esophagus. Yeah, right.

10:28

Yes. And weed you got used

10:30

to being like, is the postman?

10:32

An assassin? Postman. Postman and assassin.

10:35

Postman and assassin. We said we'd

10:37

ask her bring in send in

10:39

the robot. How much were robot?

10:41

Is that the anus of AI?

10:43

Is it Jewish men that say

10:45

robot or is it just New

10:47

York? I thought it was just

10:49

guys I don't know. You don't

10:51

want it on that. Yeah, I

10:54

don't want it on that. Really.

10:56

I'm a big, I'm a big,

10:58

I was just gonna look at

11:00

future guy. Are you? Oh yeah.

11:02

Oh. Not touching it. I don't

11:04

believe there's a Jew in New

11:06

York. How about that? I'm going

11:08

the other way. What is a

11:10

sentence you could say with a

11:13

British accent that would sound exactly

11:15

the same if you said it

11:17

within an American accent. Like do

11:19

you understand we're looking for a

11:21

sentence that a British person would

11:23

say there would be no accent.

11:25

Is it going to understand this?

11:27

A good example might be, I

11:29

saw a panda. The pronunciation of

11:32

those words is pretty much identical

11:34

in both accents. I saw a

11:36

panda. That's not bad. I saw

11:38

a panda. Soul is tough. Soul

11:40

is tough. We're having issues with

11:42

it. I've seen a panda. I've

11:44

seen a panda. Is that better?

11:46

I've never engaged like this. No,

11:48

you're right. So and I might

11:51

give it away a bit. The

11:53

British intonation could sneak in there.

11:55

Maybe something even simpler, like a

11:57

man and a banana. It's straightforward

11:59

and avoids tricky words. Bananas. Yeah,

12:01

she just, she just, she just

12:03

showed her ones and zero. I,

12:05

uh, but I, I've never... Banana.

12:07

Bananas. Bananas. There was a cartoon

12:10

called Banana Man, but... Bananaman? When

12:12

Eric eats a banana? This guy,

12:14

when he ate a banana... Eric?

12:16

Yes, Eric. You do know what

12:18

I've talked about. When Eric, when

12:20

Eric eats a banana, he becomes...

12:22

Banana Man! They showed that during

12:24

Danger Mouse. How about the villain?

12:26

What was his name? Ready? I

12:29

remembered it like a year ago.

12:31

I've seen a panda. Baron von

12:33

Greenback. Because he was a frog.

12:35

That was the best show. Danger

12:37

Mouse. Remember when you're a kid?

12:39

Remember when you're a kid? And

12:41

you're not quite ready for like

12:43

real violence? Yes. But you kind

12:45

of want a protagonist like Darkwing

12:48

Duck, who looks like maybe he

12:50

punches people in the face. Great,

12:52

great, great, great ref again. Yes,

12:54

maybe Danger Mouse, who has an

12:56

eye patch. Yes. He might, he

12:58

might fight. It's like the Ninja

13:00

Turtles. Yeah, they have those weapons.

13:02

They are the gateway. They're the

13:04

weed. They are the weed. They

13:07

are the weed. To the heroin

13:09

of John Witt. Yes. Yes. I

13:11

was playing Red Dead Redemption yesterday

13:13

and my friend Michael Gunger was

13:15

watching me and he said bullets

13:17

are the, what did he call

13:19

them? He goes anti-sperm. He's like

13:21

men love shooting things. We shoot

13:23

sperm at women and make life.

13:26

We shoot bullets at men and

13:28

that is very interesting. That is

13:30

very well. It's bullet sperm. Now,

13:32

high or not high? Not high.

13:34

And he's watching you play? Yeah,

13:36

because I just set up a

13:38

theater here. Look, before you think

13:40

I'm a fancy pants with with

13:42

baggy socks and a pan of

13:45

real lower half that falls apart.

13:47

Go ahead. That you have to

13:49

show to a girlfriend who's not

13:51

even going to see you that

13:53

day. Yeah, but she still needs

13:55

to. Yes. How are you representing

13:57

us? There's notes on the street.

13:59

Always notes. I bought, I'm ready,

14:01

are you ready for something to

14:04

get better in your life? Yes.

14:06

This is like, fucking, I'm hot

14:08

on this tip. Let's go. You go

14:10

on amazon.com, you look for a

14:12

projector, wait, wait. I'm, wait. My

14:14

nipples are hard already. If you're

14:17

anything like me, you're like, projectors,

14:19

what am I, a swinger? You

14:21

know what I mean? What do

14:23

I have a shag carpet room?

14:25

You gotta bang my neighbor's wife?

14:27

Because you got a fucking

14:30

projector with the three colors,

14:32

red, yellow and blue. Hey

14:34

Don, I got a

14:36

projector. Lucy around? You

14:39

can have Sharon. We're doing

14:41

this. The projector is the

14:44

hot tub of the indoors.

14:46

It is. Yeah. It's like

14:49

a barrel life I have.

14:51

It's the massage chair projector,

14:53

cigar, humidador. Anyway. Anyway. So

14:56

I resisted projectors. Sure. I

14:58

was like, what? Am I that

15:01

kind of guy? I get it. That's

15:03

what I am. You're gonna want

15:05

to get a projector. Here's

15:07

the whole kitten kibood. Okay.

15:09

If you go on amazon.com, it's

15:11

a website run by a normal

15:13

guy. A normal guy. A fine

15:16

and normal guy. A regular guy.

15:18

So maybe, maybe, maybe go to

15:20

Best Buy, because I'm sure there's

15:22

my paw. Mindpar. Little shop called

15:24

Best Buy. Our sweetheart had a

15:26

place called Best Buy. I remember

15:28

when I thought of the idea

15:30

I was whittling. And I was

15:32

like, what do you want when

15:34

you buy something? You want the

15:36

best buy. Well, they make high

15:38

promises. Now I don't want to

15:40

go blown smoke over here, but we have

15:42

the Best Buy. Oh, projector, huh? So you

15:45

want to bang my wife? We're open.

15:47

You're going to make what you call

15:49

a projector projector hole, but it's

15:52

not for this. Just to bang the

15:54

neighbor through. Let me tell you, you

15:56

buy this projector on Monday, on Tuesday.

15:58

You're fucking your neighbor's. Let your

16:00

wife know the new chapter. Let

16:03

her know one of the unlisted

16:05

features of this project. Much like

17:27

as a regular match. These are

17:29

called prayer matches. Light one and

17:32

hope. No if it goes

18:30

the projector guy a projector is this close

18:33

to a very large aquarium inside true

18:35

it's very close to a very close to

18:37

a very large aquarium inside true it's very

18:40

close to a lava lamp lava lamp massage

18:42

chair I would never have I could need

18:44

if I sat in a massage chair and

18:46

was like this is the best thing that's

18:48

ever happened to me like I loved it

18:51

more than anything I would never have one

18:53

in my home yeah I agree I never

18:55

you're sitting there and I'm like yeah no

18:57

you said you want a beer not for

18:59

company it's not for company but it's

19:02

also it's like it's like you're cheating

19:04

on your wife kind of there's just

19:06

like 1% you're in a threple with

19:08

this chair yeah well it's a when

19:10

you start going crotch down in it

19:13

that's when it's like honey you know

19:15

you do yeah what about the ones

19:17

that squeeze your arms you put them

19:19

under the rest and they kind of

19:22

compress your arms and they kind of

19:24

Now there's this, you know what I've

19:26

started thinking and then I want to

19:28

hear about your projector life, but this

19:30

is where I also think Swinger Time is

19:32

a sauna, a home sauna, but not like,

19:34

not one where you're like... It's honest for

19:36

swing. Not one where like a guy comes

19:38

over and builds you one, like one of

19:40

those ones that you find on Instagram. It's

19:42

like a standalone. It's like a standalone foil

19:44

hut and they're just like, eh, burn yourself

19:46

for an afternoon. You'll sleep better. I'm like

19:48

right, I'm teetering. I need someone to intervene

19:50

and tell me to not... Garrett? Because where

19:53

am I going to put it? That's the real thing.

19:55

There's not a place that makes any sense. You know

19:57

what used to be right where we used to be

19:59

right where we are. a sauna. When I lived

20:01

in this house there was a sauna

20:03

right here because there's a 220 volt.

20:05

That's why I know. Look at that.

20:07

See that? See that? That's a

20:09

220 for the sauna. But I'm going

20:11

to tell you something I'm just going

20:14

to show my entire hand. My house

20:16

is the most are we swingers house

20:18

ever because I have a hot tub

20:20

which is just... Oh yeah. You want to? Don't

20:22

worry the filter gets the jiz. Yeah, that's

20:25

that's all it is. No, that's right. How's

20:27

this on jiz? You can't tell when Larry

20:29

came because of the bubbles. Yeah, that the hot

20:31

tub's perfect for that. The honest person

20:33

on a hot tub showroom just goes, how's

20:36

this on jiz? If anyone gives you a

20:38

hot tub is when the bubbles are going

20:40

it always looks like there's jiz in it.

20:42

So you're going to be able to be

20:44

able to nut and this a bunch and

20:46

it's a bunch and no one and no one

20:48

will know. We call that the

20:50

fog up the top! This is

20:53

called, it's top fog. Top fog!

20:55

You can be an early gizzard,

20:58

early gizzard, no one'll know. That

21:00

whole layer there looks like cum.

21:02

And by the by, it very

21:04

well might be. But, uh, you'll

21:07

never tell. It always looks

21:09

like a frothy load got

21:11

shot. So you can ban your

21:13

neighbor's wife, you can whack off

21:15

in these things. Let's see the

21:17

name of his way of isn't

21:20

up for it. Get in the

21:22

tub solo. Get in the tub

21:24

solo. Do your business. Those

21:26

jets go both ways? Don't

21:28

worry. Don't go under. Okay.

21:31

Back to the life-changing if you

21:33

can somehow get over the fact

21:35

that owning a projector is fucking

21:37

laser disk adjacent A lot of

21:39

projection with the projector from us

21:42

by the by like we're projecting a

21:44

lot on to it. Yes, but I

21:46

think that's okay. All right. So get

21:48

over the laser disk. I'm gonna yeah,

21:50

you know the guy that has it's

21:52

not to watch 2001 like this It

21:54

looks like a vinyl collection, but they're

21:56

laser disk and he's like this is

21:59

how and have to swap them

22:01

because there's too much data. Oh

22:03

right you gotta flip it or

22:05

so yeah right yeah. You're flipping

22:07

fucking Terminator 1. It's gonna feel

22:10

like you're on Mars until the

22:12

90-minute mark when I gotta flip

22:14

it. That's so funny my friend

22:16

Orin Brimmer who I love very

22:18

dearly he's like people like video

22:20

games are better than movies he's

22:23

like yeah they're very good but

22:25

don't forget that they're like you

22:27

need to be going into the

22:29

mountains to find that gold. Press

22:31

X to continue! Storywise. Rotate the

22:34

L stick to see the map.

22:36

Like that, you don't have that

22:38

in movies. Tap the triangle button

22:40

to draw your sword. You want

22:42

to save your guy? He's marked

22:44

on your mini map. But when

22:47

did you get the projector? Okay.

22:49

Here's the bit free thing. Do

22:51

you have a wall? You better

22:53

believe I do. Where the sun

22:55

is gonna be. Yeah, okay, I

22:58

got a wall. If you have

23:00

a wall. Yeah. That's how big

23:02

your TV is. Yeah. That's how

23:04

big your TV could be. And

23:06

here's the, the, where it's a

23:08

real, I just broke. It's a

23:11

real tip. Nobody wants 1080P projectors

23:13

anymore. What does that even mean?

23:15

That's fucking A right, what does

23:17

that even mean? 1080P, five, six

23:19

years ago was like, everyone's like,

23:22

holy shit, it's 1080P. That's like

23:24

the compression of the resolution. Right,

23:26

okay. Now it's 4K. But because

23:28

it's 4K, people who don't give

23:30

a fucking shit, people who are

23:32

honest, who don't fucking wanna see

23:35

every line. in the face of

23:37

the newscaster. Yeah. Can watch it

23:39

fucking. 1080P's dope. Yeah. It's fucking

23:41

dope. You got 200 bucks. You

23:43

got a wall. You got a

23:46

home theater. The end. And the

23:48

end. And how did you, and

23:50

how did you stumble, what was

23:52

your gateway into this world? I

23:54

made Val a video. This is

23:56

a weird. husband Flex, but I

23:59

made her a very awesome kind

24:01

of artsy video. This is your

24:03

ex who you were married to

24:05

before we started the podcast when

24:07

you took your ring off? Oh

24:10

yeah, right. Let me put this

24:12

back on. Oh you're back. What

24:14

a run you had though buddy.

24:16

You really... I couldn't do that

24:18

hot tub riff about first if

24:20

I was married? No, no, no.

24:23

No, she'd be fair. She'd have

24:25

every right to be. She'd have.

24:27

I've seen pandas. Well, a banana

24:30

is wrong. Oh, and banana is

24:32

wrong. That really reinforced my fear

24:35

over AI. I've seen. I've is

24:37

wrong. I've. I've. I've. I've. Clive.

24:39

Clive. Oh, Clive. Don't even. I've.

24:42

Clive. What a banana? Is there

24:44

a more British sentence than a

24:47

live one a banana? The Chad

24:49

GP2 is like, I want Pete

24:51

to stop talking to me. I

24:54

think we have beef. Banana. She

24:56

was wrong! Beef is closer! Beef!

24:59

Beef! Beef! Better than banana! What

25:01

was she doing? How dare she?

25:03

What's great is I won't be

25:06

rude to JetGPT, but you could

25:08

get back on that and be

25:10

like, no, what do you think?

25:13

That is the first time I've

25:15

actually heard it used. I've never

25:18

engaged in it. You gotta try

25:20

it. Oh, sorry. You don't have

25:22

to try it. I mean, I

25:25

will. It'll make you less scared.

25:27

Watch this. Watch this. Okay. I'm

25:30

sitting with podcaster and comedian Gareth

25:32

Reynolds. What's a fun question I

25:34

could ask him. You should do

25:37

your ads while she thinks. How

25:39

about what's the weirdest animal fact

25:41

you've learned that you wish you

25:44

didn't know? Knowing Gareth, that could

25:46

spark some hilarious conversation. Would that

25:49

fit the vibe? I think so,

25:51

yeah. Wait, do you do animal

25:53

facts or something? I mean, I'm

25:56

begging to animal. Are you? Yeah!

25:58

She knows. She really was, she's

26:01

like, that actually worries me now.

26:03

No, don't be worried. That's a

26:05

good, that's a good prompt.

26:08

Buddy, you host a pod? You ever

26:10

want to do some sloppy research? Just

26:12

get in there with Chad Chipet. Oh,

26:15

geez. Yeah, there's a lot of good,

26:17

she's right. What's a weird animal fact?

26:19

Do you have one? Oh God. Do

26:21

you know a lot of animal facts?

26:23

Yeah. All right. What's a good amount.

26:26

What's a weird one. What's a weird

26:28

one. You were wearing the turkey vulture?

26:30

I'm just picturing a vulture with

26:32

the plumage of a turkey. Some

26:34

point, a vulture, they were all like, hey,

26:36

he's gonna go eat that turkey. And they

26:38

were like, Jesus, Harry! And he's like,

26:41

fucking. You know? Wait, it's a vulture.

26:43

It's a turkey. So it's some, it

26:45

looks like a turkey. Wait, wait, I'm

26:47

sorry. Did it vulture? My little... The

26:49

vulture has a projection. We have

26:51

the answer there if we want

26:53

to know. But I think that

26:55

yeah, one day a vulture was

26:58

like, I'm actually gonna fuck it first.

27:00

And then they were like, it's

27:02

gonna pull through and he's like,

27:04

oh shit, it's pregnant. And it

27:06

wants to keep it. And you

27:08

know, so then we have a

27:10

turkey vulture, so then enough turkey

27:12

vultures are out there. So a turkey.

27:14

Sorry. is that there was a

27:17

turkey who was dying. Yes. So

27:19

the vultures came. Yeah. And then

27:21

one of the vultures was like,

27:23

yeah. One of the vultures was

27:25

like, before we do our thing,

27:27

just give me a minute. Yeah.

27:29

And then someone was like, looks

27:32

like it's gonna pull through. Yeah.

27:34

And he was like, wait, what?

27:36

And they have a code where

27:38

they won't kill something. Well, they

27:40

just want things that are dead.

27:42

Yeah. Right. The vulture was like,

27:44

Jesus. Hold on, I gotta keep it. Hold

27:46

on, I gotta go talk to it a little

27:48

bit. He's like, come on, it won't make any

27:51

sense. It's gonna be a turkey vulture. What the

27:53

fuck is it gonna look like? What are we gonna

27:55

call it? A verki? A culture? This isn't gonna

27:57

work. And it was like, broo, boy was

27:59

raised. to think that every life

28:01

was important no matter

28:04

how much it gets. It's religious.

28:06

Yeah, it's religious. Yeah, it's a

28:08

religious. How would God hear its

28:11

port of gold's plan? He's like,

28:13

hey, come on. It reads Horton,

28:16

here's a whoa. You're gonna

28:18

have to raise it on your

28:20

own. I'm not going to be

28:22

able to bring guts over all

28:25

every week and stuff. I've died

28:27

in the desert. Holy shit! And

28:29

she's like, I believe he

28:31

has a stash in that

28:33

cave? What the fuck? I

28:35

showed you that in

28:38

company! Shouldn't the

28:40

fuck you in California!

28:42

Why don't I bang you in

28:45

New Mexico? You get

28:47

10%! Now I'm dropping guts

28:49

off of this kid I

28:52

didn't even want! You look

28:54

like you were gonna die!

28:56

Music is easy for me

28:58

to find other turkeys now.

29:00

This is a weird way for it

29:02

to go. Oh. That's it. I'm only

29:05

eating them from that

29:07

one. Why couldn't I have

29:09

fucked a near dead turkey in

29:11

New Mexico? Oh, you think

29:14

it's easy for me out there?

29:16

I got it! Not easy for

29:18

any of us. I regret what

29:20

I did that day. It was

29:22

a dark time. Good Lord.

29:24

You're making me laugh so much I've wondered,

29:26

like I have to, I think I should get

29:28

a physical, like I'm, like why am I coughing

29:30

and sweating so much? Could you? Absolutely. Let me

29:32

ask you that, how would you? I don't want to answer

29:35

that question, but let me get, no I'm not,

29:37

we're the same age I think. Are we, have

29:39

you had a colonoscopy? I just canceled mine like

29:41

a week ago. What do you mean? Well I

29:43

had barely get it off, I'd barely been in

29:45

town, I'd barely been in town, I'd barely been

29:47

in town, and um... Like I only had like five

29:49

days in town and one of them is going to

29:51

be spent prepping for a colonoscopy and the other doing

29:53

it and I was like, I'm going to push it.

29:55

Well you are going to do it? Yeah. I've heard

29:57

the drug they give you is fantastic. You haven't gotten

29:59

yours. No. What are you? I'm 45.

30:01

What are you? I'm 45. Yeah. I

30:03

thought you were... I thought you

30:06

were... I'm not trying to... No.

30:08

Look, stop... I thought I

30:10

would have believed 35. I would

30:13

go with you 35. Yeah.

30:15

You think I could call up

30:17

35? You know? You think

30:19

I could go in front of

30:21

people and be like, hello,

30:23

I'm 35 and they wouldn't, I'll

30:26

just laugh like... Who would

30:28

be 35? because you've been famous.

30:30

You couldn't be 35. Your

30:32

career aged. Michael kind. Yeah, you're.

30:34

Maggie Smith has been old our whole life.

30:37

And you, I think, physically appear way younger

30:39

than you are. But keep in mind, when

30:41

we first watch Pete Holmes, you look like

30:43

you're nine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You look so

30:46

young when you start, but we know you're

30:48

an adult. So it throws you off. I

30:50

like this. But you've been famous for, in

30:53

a good way. You've been famous with a

30:55

long. where we think, oh, well, we've known,

30:57

Pete's been around for so long. He has

30:59

to be in his 40s. I think he

31:02

broke when he was 18? Yeah. Or

31:04

nine. Or nine. Nine. And those first

31:06

Pete Holmes bits you. Well, my social,

31:08

or wonderful, my social person, Jake,

31:10

who I love very much, he posted

31:12

the clip from my second Conan, and

31:14

I just done a juice fast, and

31:16

I was like, 30. And I was

31:18

like, Jesus Christ. You could cook a marshmallow

31:21

off that kid's glow. Like and I

31:23

looked at it and then I looked

31:25

in the mirror and I was like

31:27

I look like this kid's parole officer.

31:29

Also the problem with doing stuff for

31:31

so long. Yeah. Is there's a record.

31:34

Yes. But my first Conan I look

31:36

like I ate the kid in the

31:38

second Conan. Like I'm real big. See

31:40

that's what you are. These are okay riffs

31:42

if it's you. Go ahead. Well this

31:44

would be my recommendation. Twenty. Twenties go

31:46

fat. Be fat in your 20s.

31:49

That's your 20s years. Be fat

31:51

in your 20s. Do it. Maybe

31:53

till you're 32, then start shrinking.

31:56

It's like my friends who

31:58

went bald when they were... 20. They

32:00

look the same, they looked old

32:02

at 20. Yeah. Now they look

32:04

like they haven't aged in 20.

32:06

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They got

32:08

it out of the way. You

32:10

go fat in your 20s and

32:12

then you could spend your life

32:14

kind of getting skinnier and then

32:16

that is going to help you

32:18

with the, oh you look good.

32:20

I'm not saying Jonah Ray. was

32:22

there i don't want to use

32:24

the body shame fat word i'm

32:26

just saying he was heavier fat

32:28

you can i mean i was

32:30

fat he was a fat no

32:32

he was he was a heavier

32:34

person uh-huh now he looks like

32:36

a fucking yeah now he looks

32:38

like he owns like a surf

32:40

shop he looks like he owns

32:43

a surf shop and he looks

32:45

like he owns a surf shop

32:47

and he looks like he knows

32:49

Jason's All right, what are you

32:51

after? Easy, Jason, that now. He's

32:53

in the sauna. Hold Jason, you

32:55

stay in there a little fucking

32:57

dying in here. Can you imagine

32:59

how small to tell Jason Satham

33:01

would use in a sauna? It's

33:03

the one in the hotel where

33:05

you're like, people use it. Yeah,

33:07

yeah, he's got that wrapped around

33:09

his waist. You all right, John,

33:11

John, it's a bit bushy. Frizzy.

33:13

Jason, he looks like he owns

33:15

Jason Satham. Yeah, I bought him.

33:17

I bought him and I'll be

33:19

honest, he wasn't that much. No,

33:21

I see something. What if you

33:23

went on Cameo and Jason Satham

33:25

was like five bucks? Yeah. Do

33:27

you forget a little sad on

33:29

the... Are you on the game?

33:31

No. I'm not on the camera.

33:33

I'm not on it and I

33:35

don't shame anyone. I don't shame

33:37

anybody but I do drag my

33:39

feet. I also think it's weird

33:41

to be like I just want

33:43

to I'd be like 25 dollars

33:45

I'd be like it feels weird

33:47

it feels like I think I'll

33:49

end up on there when everything

33:51

falls apart. Yeah that's why neither

33:53

of us is closing the door.

33:55

Yes. And then I'm like oh

33:57

I could do cameo as... Batman

33:59

and then I'm like a little

34:01

That's a that's a good twist.

34:03

I Think you can you could

34:05

do that and You here's what

34:08

you do you start off and

34:10

you go this is for charity

34:12

And then you just slowly stop

34:14

doing that take that off the

34:16

profile That's

34:19

how it starts. That is so

34:21

fucking funny. That's how you do

34:23

it. That is so fucking funny.

34:25

Start there. You start and you're

34:27

giving it all. So going to

34:29

Children's Hospital. Children's Hospital and then

34:32

one day it's not on there.

34:34

Yank it. You know it's like

34:36

how you break up online. You

34:38

never go like, just your pictures

34:40

don't have a person in it

34:42

anymore. Sometimes you're still in there.

34:44

Yeah. I've caught myself scrolling through

34:47

an ex's photographs and there we

34:49

are. And I'm like, pardon? Yes,

34:51

yeah, I am. I've been, I

34:53

was single for so long and

34:55

then I've been private for as

34:57

long. Like I don't let. Oh,

34:59

no, no personal info. Very light.

35:02

No, my Facebook and all that.

35:04

I mean, people can find it,

35:06

but I, but I'm not, I'm

35:08

not posting vacay picks. That's, that's

35:10

just not what the pages. It's

35:12

weird to me, I have an

35:14

inability to do it. It's like

35:17

my whole, everything I have out

35:19

there is just basically like, even

35:21

if it sucks, it's like, it's

35:23

crowd work, shut the fuck up.

35:25

Like it's never me, like, great

35:27

lunch with Tony. Like, I can't,

35:29

I can't do that part of

35:32

it. But it's, uh, it's fucking

35:34

Robert Downey Jr. Great lunch with

35:36

Tony. He's like, what? He didn't

35:38

want to do it with Statham.

35:40

Um, yeah, I just don't do

35:42

that. That's not your gym. No,

35:44

and I think like, it's, I

35:47

don't know. I think that it,

35:49

it's so weird. How long, you've

35:51

been married for what? We've been

35:53

together for 12 years. Yeah. Because

35:55

I was just talking as. somebody

35:57

about that and I was like

36:00

that's that's a long time it

36:02

doesn't feel like it's been that

36:04

long you're established in a thing

36:06

yeah long enough so you're kind

36:08

that to me makes more sense

36:10

you have like a family you

36:12

have more my life has been so oddly

36:14

solo for so long and that's like yeah

36:16

now I now that I am dating someone

36:19

she is not she doesn't really give a

36:21

she's not like get me on there you

36:23

know yeah so that's a good sign it's

36:25

great it's a weird sign it's great I saw,

36:27

where did I see, I don't want to

36:29

shit on somebody. Oh, Ricky Linholm had a

36:31

joke about, she sang a song and Ricky

36:33

no shots here. I just thought

36:35

it was an interesting perspective that

36:37

the song was about how she's

36:39

mad that her boyfriend doesn't take

36:41

more pictures of her. And I was like, again,

36:44

full respect to Ricky. I'm just like, oh

36:46

my fucking God, I didn't know how good

36:48

I had it. And I did. Oh yeah.

36:50

But Val has never been like. Why don't

36:52

you take more pictures of me? Or why

36:54

don't you post more of me? And if

36:56

she did say that, I'm going to say

36:59

it. I'd be like, I just texted you something and

37:01

it's divorced. Texting a beer. It's a PDF. It's not

37:03

a picture of you, but it does start with me.

37:05

She printed them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you've

37:07

been served That would be I can't handle that. No,

37:09

I you know what I've sacrificed it for I'll take

37:12

pictures of her like for her for her for her

37:14

social media Okay, all right, and that is demeaning enough.

37:16

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's up there with holding my dog. That's

37:18

hold my dog. She sent me a tick-talk the other day

37:20

on how to how to take the other day on how

37:23

to take the other day on how to take the other

37:25

37:36

37:38

to take the Right now, we're not actually answering stuff about

37:40

age. We're very excited. She looks very young, but we're actually

37:42

not gonna get into age-specific stuff right now. Very good.

37:45

Thank you. That was great. Two

37:47

mics, it becomes a presser. I automatically

37:49

shift. One mic I can

37:51

pod two. It's very... I'm

37:53

deflecting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no

37:55

information. Val just said something

37:57

so funny to me where she was like...

37:59

The worst part of murdering someone is

38:02

keeping. Right? Isn't the murder. She said

38:04

this. I say that because I'm like, I

38:06

think this is legit hilarious. Oh, and then

38:08

I have a bit I want to run

38:10

by you. And I don't, I think it's

38:12

so funny, but I don't know if it

38:15

actually is. It is. I love you so

38:17

much. She goes, the worst part of murder,

38:19

because we're watching Bad Sisters, isn't murdering. It's

38:21

keeping your story straight. There's a cop that

38:23

keeps being being like, sorry on Thursday. You

38:25

said you were at the laundromat,

38:27

but the laundromat's closed on Thursday.

38:29

And you have to be like,

38:31

yeah, I was there, but it

38:33

was to use the change machine out

38:36

front. And then like you skated

38:38

by another one? I can't. If

38:40

you were like, where were you yesterday?

38:42

I'd be like, I don't know. I

38:44

agree. And it's also the fact that

38:46

the... The idea that someone's trying to hunt

38:48

you down for information is so stressful that

38:51

any second you could say the wrong and

38:53

you go to jail I would just quit

38:55

like I've always thought that about like in

38:57

the third act of a horror movie where

39:00

the main protagonist is like fighting through hell

39:02

Yes, to like win. Yes, I'm like I'd

39:04

be caving by now I would genuinely be

39:06

like this is stressed me out on a

39:09

level cut my throat, all self-cut. They would,

39:11

like, the killer would find me

39:13

and be like, did he cut

39:15

his own throat? Because I'm like,

39:17

I can't. That is ready to

39:19

go. That is the funniest premise.

39:22

But you know what I mean?

39:24

Like, I'll watch a movie and

39:26

be like, I'll watch a movie. I

39:28

think all you need is now that

39:30

I'm in my 40s, I realize that

39:33

if I was being chased by a

39:35

killer and you'd just be like. Yeah,

39:37

without qu- Yeah, if it was like

39:39

really writing, if Chad GPT was writing

39:41

my thoughts, they'd be like, about page

39:44

70, I take, I jump off a

39:46

building. Yeah. Or you flee. You're just

39:48

like, I don't know who he has.

39:50

It's that chase, it's the chase through

39:52

the woods. Through the woods. Where I'm

39:55

like, I hear him, like, that's when

39:57

I would just like, like, this is

39:59

too much. I'd be whittling down a

40:01

branch. Or come and get me. Yes.

40:03

Come and get me. But I

40:05

wouldn't even be able to handle that,

40:07

like the whole hovering. I don't

40:09

want that to be in the driver's

40:11

seat. He's gonna walk. He's slow.

40:13

Yep, maybe, like, it'll be like a

40:15

slope. I'm like, I know. It's

40:17

close on your face, and you're like,

40:19

whoop, whoop, whoop. And then we

40:21

widen see that he's hooked to stomach

40:24

somehow. I know, I'm gonna go

40:26

quick. Yeah. I'll just go like that,

40:28

like 80 to the branch in

40:30

my throat. Pulling, like, little veins out.

40:32

Like, it'll be graphic -ish, but it's

40:34

just for me. It's like masturbating.

40:36

It would be gross to watch if

40:38

anyone else was seeing it, but

40:40

for me, I'm very comfortable doing it.

40:42

I'm just sort of like how

40:44

I think carjackers work, how you jump

40:46

a car. I'm just going like

40:48

that. He's crossing wires and he's starting

40:50

again. He jumps you. I actually

40:52

feel amazing. I sound like RFK. Right

40:54

now, I'm feeling pretty good, to

40:56

be honest with you. I've never felt

40:58

like my throat was more on

41:00

fire, but I, the energy, I

41:03

could run. As you're giving yourself 80 to

41:05

the neck. And my neck's open, I'm like,

41:07

I could run a marathon right now. And

41:09

then I die. I'm

41:12

dead forever. I'm

41:14

dead forever. They'd find me

41:16

in the corner and be like,

41:18

I really don't know. I

41:20

think this guy stabbed himself head.

41:22

I don't know, it might

41:24

be a wolf. It's hard to

41:26

tell. mean, his hands are

41:28

covered in blood. His right hand

41:30

is covered in his own

41:32

blood, so that's a, this guy

41:34

may as well be a

41:36

herring. I'm dead. We've all been

41:38

there where you eat something

41:40

too much. You're sweating, your pants

41:42

hate you all of a

41:44

sudden and you vow, I'm going

41:46

to do a detox. I'm

41:48

going to cut out everything fun

41:50

from my life, but that

41:52

doesn't work. Let's talk about something

41:54

that actually does work. Peek,

41:56

poor tea. I'm not getting when

41:58

I tell you this stuff

42:01

absolutely changes the game. I start

42:03

my mornings now with green,

42:05

poor, P -U -E -R. And let

42:07

me tell you, it's like flipping

42:09

a switch. I get this

42:11

calm, focused energy that doesn't come

42:13

with the caffeine jitters or

42:15

that dreaded. afternoon crash. It is clean, it is lean,

42:17

gets in you and you feel fantastic. And after meals, black

42:19

pooer is my go-to, it's smooth, earthy, and leaves me light

42:21

and balance instead of feeling like I just swallowed a brick.

42:23

And here's the kicker. Pooer tea isn't just tea, it's fermented,

42:25

which means it's loaded with living probiotics and prebiotics that actually

42:27

support your gut health. That means it's like a reset button

42:29

for your microbiome for your microbiome. Energy, metabolism, and even

42:31

radiant skin. Yeah, tea makes you

42:33

glow. Who knew? Let's talk about

42:36

quality because these are wild harvested

42:38

from 250-year-old tea trees. We're talking

42:40

next-level purity. They're triple, toxin-screen, and

42:42

they dissolve instantly or hot. in

42:45

hot or cold water, which I

42:47

love being able to make and

42:49

ice tea instantly. I've never seen

42:51

that before in my life, but

42:54

peak tea can be made in

42:56

cold water. No tea bags, no

42:58

steeping, just instant, got healing magic

43:00

We are also brought to us

43:36

by our friends at the Perfect

43:38

Gene. You guys, of course I'm

43:40

wearing them right now, because I

43:42

am always wearing my perfect gene,

43:45

because I hate heart pants, and

43:47

I hate pants that look like

43:49

they're soft. Guess what? Perfect jeans

43:51

are soft and stretchy. They don't

43:53

crush your nuts, but they look

43:55

like designer jeans, because they're designed

43:57

incredibly comfortable, but also incredibly well.

43:59

The craftsmanship, the cut, the wash, everything

44:02

about these. I've won them on red

44:04

carpets, worn them on dates. I've won

44:06

them in the biggest situations in my

44:09

life. I've also just taken a nap

44:11

in them, because they're as comfortable as

44:13

pejos. You might even forget you're wearing

44:15

pants. Why are we still wearing hard

44:18

pants? It's 2025 guys. Break into something

44:20

that looks fantastic and is also comfortable,

44:22

just enough stretch, but you're not going

44:25

to have a saggy diaper butt. Life

44:27

is too short for denim that fights

44:29

you every step of the way. These

44:31

jeans move with you, whether you're chasing

44:34

your kids, tackling chores, or just chilling

44:36

like a boss. Over 400,000 old young,

44:38

big, and small men agree. The perfect

44:41

gene is just that, the perfect gene.

44:43

Imagine denim so stretchy. It's yoga ready.

44:45

Sharp to turn heads. That's true. and

44:47

comfy enough, you'll forget you're even wearing

44:50

them. What can you do in a

44:52

perfect gene? You can rescue a stray

44:54

cat like a denim superhero. You can

44:57

man spread during game night. That's pretty

44:59

cool. You can even break some hearts

45:01

and pull some muscles on the dance

45:04

floor. The perfect gene has six fits.

45:06

45:40

to the show. Do you know what

45:43

else is over because of Tik Talk?

45:45

Remember in the 2000s or not that

45:47

long ago you would watch a show

45:49

like MythBusters where they're like Yep. Do

45:52

you think if you drive a Jeep

45:54

at the same rate as a Corvette

45:56

the Jeep will have better gas or

45:59

actually the real one would be window

46:01

down or air conditioning which is better

46:03

and it's an hour show yes and

46:05

in the 2000s we were fucking ding

46:08

dong yes we'd sit through nine commercial

46:10

breaks just waiting for these two fucking

46:12

dorks to finally be like the data

46:15

is in yeah it's just it's faster

46:17

to have the AC is a window

46:19

Now that's a tick talk. Yes. Like

46:22

which is which is faster? Windows down

46:24

or air conditioning? It's actually air conditioning.

46:26

And we're just like fucking. 30 seconds

46:28

30 seconds and that was too long

46:31

to waste on that shit. I was

46:33

just thinking this last night and then

46:35

I want you to give me the

46:38

bit. You're gonna get the bit this

46:40

last night when I was watching a

46:42

very interesting video with Noam Chomsky and

46:44

it was seven minutes and I was

46:47

like buddy you've got to watch this

46:49

all. And I was like, well it's

46:51

so long. I was like, it's seven

46:54

minutes of one of the greatest minds

46:56

of our time explaining the inequality in

46:58

society and where he thinks it's headed.

47:01

And I was like, just get to

47:03

it. Yeah, could we speed this up?

47:05

Can we eliminate the, like the way

47:07

that they cut the pauses? Yeah, oh

47:10

yeah. I was like, let's go gnome.

47:12

But and the problem is, this is

47:14

going to be old man time. It

47:17

turns out we don't actually want to

47:19

know if the car saves gas with

47:21

windows down or air conditioning We wanted

47:23

something to you know just kind of

47:26

experience and now all we have is

47:28

the data and it goes right through

47:30

you You know in the old days

47:33

you'd say like Chinese food. I don't

47:35

know if that's inappropriate now I again

47:37

I'm not gonna do I'm not I'm

47:39

really a Jewish man in New York

47:42

on Christmas Eve. No I said I

47:44

said I won't even acknowledge a Jew

47:46

in New York. You know they love

47:49

Chinese food on Christmas. I won't do

47:51

Chinese digestion. I don't know how does

47:53

kung-pow that's what you said. And you

47:56

know I would never do that. I

47:58

just thought of a I just thought

48:00

of Bob Dylan and Frank of Musos,

48:02

though, or whatever the fuck it's called.

48:05

Does that what it's called? Frank and

48:07

Musos? Yeah. Rusos? Here's what it is.

48:09

Musos and Frank. How did everyone

48:11

like their meal? How was the

48:14

meal? I said, how was your

48:16

meal? What if Bob Dylan was

48:18

your waiter and then you turned

48:20

around? Because the fries, they are

48:22

a-changing. That's when Burger King changed

48:24

their fries. We're doing sweet potato

48:27

fries this week instead of regular

48:29

rusted. Oh, really? Bob? Yeah, I don't

48:31

know if you heard. The fries,

48:33

they are a-changing. Oh, okay, that's

48:35

a long walk. I have a

48:38

question for you. What percentage was

48:40

Bob Dylan? Because I think he's

48:42

a genius. Yes. Do you think

48:44

he was just noticing what was-

48:46

popular. Do you think it's possible

48:49

that he was like, I could

48:51

do whatever I want because I'm

48:53

a brilliant genius? And he was

48:55

like, you know what seems to be

48:58

popular is like, well, get off

49:00

a back government or whatever. Do

49:02

you think he was like an opportunist

49:05

at all? I mean, nothing wrong with

49:07

being an opportunity. This is what's so

49:09

funny about him is like, he even

49:11

like when he's asked about those prolific

49:14

five or six years I don't even

49:16

know what the songs about he's like

49:18

he honestly is like I don't know

49:20

how that guy did that yeah it's

49:22

like that's you yeah I think that

49:24

I put myself in a place yeah

49:26

but I'm a stranger there so I I

49:28

don't even think he could be opportunistic in

49:31

that sense because he doesn't have that

49:33

year I agree with that and I

49:35

think it I think that all the

49:37

time with would the time we're living in

49:39

now Sorry, that was... Oh, he

49:41

did full Dylan voice. That's going

49:43

to age poorly. FTV. Cut that

49:46

out, obviously. Cut it out, obviously.

49:48

Hey! I think that, like, now

49:50

we're so starved for those sort

49:52

of voices. Oh yeah, like authentic?

49:54

Authentic to the time we're

49:57

living in inequality too. And

49:59

why don't... we have one that's

50:01

kind of a weird like we have

50:03

some but they're kind of you know

50:05

I watched this well I I don't

50:07

know I definitely think it's really weird

50:09

to watch people who you think could

50:11

pull that off just kind of be

50:13

like purely capitalists for everything sure and

50:15

even I would say there's they there's

50:17

the like with what Burr Burr was

50:19

recently on Kimmel and he was sort

50:21

of talking about like Luigi Mangio and

50:23

like everyone was like Yes! Like so

50:26

many people who feel like that is,

50:28

doesn't have a voice. I think it

50:30

would be even in capitalism, profitable to

50:32

be like, hey, what's going on? Government

50:34

and society would be popular. Yeah, yeah,

50:36

yeah, yeah. But I think people just

50:38

are making this play for right now.

50:40

I want to make exactly. That's a

50:42

deal. And I think that that's why

50:44

Dylan's so cool. He's like, oh, sorry.

50:46

Did that fuck up your day? And

50:48

he was so popular. And it was

50:50

so, but then. So I think that

50:52

it was like, I think Chappelle is

50:55

close. Sorry. No, I think you're right

50:57

in ways. And then there's also times

50:59

when you're like, what do you, I

51:01

completely agree? What are you talking? Why,

51:03

why waste your beautiful voice on this?

51:05

I agree. And I'm sure people felt

51:07

that way about Dylan. Yeah, they probably

51:09

did. Yeah. Well, I know when you

51:11

like plugged in an electric guitar, everyone

51:13

was like, you son of a bitch.

51:15

Whoa, because he was like, because he

51:17

was like, because he was like, because

51:19

he was like, because he was like,

51:22

because he was like, like, like, like,

51:24

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

51:26

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

51:28

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

51:30

like, like, When Michael B. Jordan plays

51:32

Dave Chappelle in the biopic yeah, right?

51:34

They don't even look like I'm just

51:36

saying a great actor Yeah, right bring

51:38

Chappelle and tells the story and shows

51:40

you the gear of there'll be that

51:42

Yeah, they'll be that phase a weird

51:44

there was also the Christian Dylan phase

51:46

where people were like what yeah, there

51:48

were phases now and then he like

51:51

I mean now he's just like I

51:53

mean he's great. He looks like the

51:55

Jack in the deck in the deck

51:57

he really does he looks like the

51:59

jack is that what he's doing now

52:01

i think in the on his mirror

52:03

is a jack of spades and he's

52:05

like How much longer do I have

52:07

to sit for this? Quiet Bob. I

52:09

got to call my agent. All right,

52:11

not now. I have a question for

52:13

you. Go. A lot of Bob D

52:15

questions. Sure. Katie, you can play too.

52:17

Does Bob Dylan still smoke? No. We're

52:20

getting chat. GPT involved. Yeah? Cigarettes? He

52:22

has to. We're asking her. Does Bob

52:24

Dylan still smoke cigarettes? I

52:28

don't believe he does anymore.

52:30

Bob Dylan reportedly quit smoking

52:32

cigarettes years ago to preserve

52:34

his voice. So there's always

52:36

been some mystery around his

52:39

personal habits. Why were you

52:41

curious about his legendary rasp?

52:43

I love, you know, keeps

52:45

the conversation. No, she's brilliant.

52:47

Remember when she was like...

52:49

Want to get lunch? Want

52:51

to go get a bite?

52:54

B-Y-T-E. Okay. She'll have chips.

52:57

She wants to get chips. Oh my

52:59

god. Mother cheese board? I don't know.

53:01

It's it. Ivan on pushing it. Sorry

53:04

Pete. Chat, stop it. Here's the bit.

53:06

Okay. Full context, which is cheating. I

53:08

was high. Okay. And I thought this

53:11

was the funniest thing. And you'll know.

53:13

It has the flavor of a joke

53:15

that you would make while you were

53:17

high. Okay. And my friends were with

53:20

me were all so high and they

53:22

were like, I don't know. And I

53:24

literally, what's that? It's amazing for them

53:27

to be like, we're not sure, Pete.

53:29

They were not sure. Because we were

53:31

all kind of now, is this because

53:33

you're right, you're right, you're right, you're

53:36

right, you're genuinely like, it's not like,

53:38

it's not like, you're right, you're right,

53:40

you're genuinely like, it's not like, you're

53:43

like, you're like, you're like, like, like,

53:45

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

53:47

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

53:49

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

53:52

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

53:54

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

53:56

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

53:59

like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

54:01

like Good for you! Get out of

54:03

my house! Good for you! Well, you

54:05

know, one of my friends- Put the

54:08

project- away. Which musician, if he was

54:10

like, that could be a song, I

54:12

would be like, I can see to

54:15

you. You're a musician. I would just,

54:17

but look, I agree. I'm only telling

54:19

you that. I have this conversation with

54:21

the Normies and I don't mind calling

54:24

on that. No. I, I think we

54:26

have to evacuate. Oh my god. Can't

54:28

say Normies. I love that you're yes

54:31

ending. But the reason I'm telling you,

54:33

you know, is to give me a

54:35

higher place to fall from if this

54:37

bit is truly unfunny. And we're about

54:40

to find out. Let's see. Because that

54:42

is important. I'm also high and I'm

54:44

like, I know this is funny. Yeah.

54:47

So I was emboldened by the toxins.

54:49

Yes. Here's the bit. That's a new

54:51

great way of saying you're emboldened by

54:54

the toxins. Perfect. Me and my friends,

54:56

we get together, we're getting emboldened by

54:58

the toxins by the toxinsons tonight, son.

55:00

Put the toxins up your butt. I

55:03

was a Dana Carby little bit. I

55:05

don't know why I don't know why

55:07

that seemed like Dana Carby Here's the

55:10

bet. Okay. I think it's so funny

55:12

that the White House where the president

55:14

lives is a house. They live there

55:16

Mm-hmm. That's their house. I like this

55:19

So every election uh-huh like we just

55:21

had an election. Yeah new mattress like

55:23

you got to move out the Biden

55:26

mattress So that means there's a four-year

55:28

mattress. You can't, that's, I mean, mattresses

55:30

last a long time. They're just tossing

55:32

out mattresses. Yeah. Every four years. And

55:35

this is the part, I would, because

55:37

you can't, this was the part that

55:39

everyone did laugh at. I actually think

55:42

it's the weakest part. I go, you

55:44

can't get the Clinton mattress? That thing

55:46

sucked through like a translate chase cake.

55:48

That's a hard joke. That's why that's

55:51

a hard joke. The preface is great.

55:53

Because it's a hard wait. Here's the

55:55

here's the part that I thought was

55:58

the funniest. Okay. But I actually think

56:00

trace-like chase cake is the funniest here

56:02

in my sober state. Yep. But when

56:04

I was stoned, I was like, this

56:07

is the funniest part. So when if

56:09

you get two. the mattress gets to

56:11

stay in the White House for eight

56:14

years. So really, when a president is

56:16

running for re-election, the mattress is also

56:18

running for re-election. It could be part

56:20

of the pitch. It's like, we don't

56:23

want to throw away this mattress? We're

56:25

not going to put a new mattress

56:27

in, that would be crazy. We just

56:30

got this one, even when you're being

56:32

impeached. I did do that, but I'm

56:34

saying... What are we going to do,

56:36

bring in for the VP? Or are

56:39

we taking his mattress from his room?

56:41

And put, it's a lot of moving

56:43

and it's a lot of work. And

56:46

I don't think we really, I don't

56:48

think we should have that much moving

56:50

of mattress. That's what makes my pillow

56:52

guys so interesting. When he gets involved.

56:55

When Trump lost to Biden, you know

56:57

it. Maybe at one point he was

56:59

like, come on, we just put that

57:02

mattress and there's a Donald mattress, that's

57:04

my mattress? I don't want sleepy Joe

57:06

spending every day on that mattress. All

57:08

he's doing. Well, you can't have Biden's

57:11

carcinophicus. You

57:13

can't have all the dandruff

57:15

and fucking skin cells from

57:17

an old man. That one

57:20

you replace. Without question. For

57:22

sure. Now here's another question.

57:24

Okay. Trump wins. He gets

57:26

his mattress. Trump loses. Biden

57:28

gets his mattress. Trump comes

57:31

back. Was that mattress in

57:33

storage? This is what I

57:35

think. As he's leaving. Don't

57:37

bother throwing that mattress out.

57:39

I'll be using it again

57:42

real soon. Put it

57:44

on ice You're gonna want to

57:46

put that mattress on ice. I'm

57:48

gonna be back. Don't let Joey

57:50

Biden probably was like can we

57:53

take the mattress? You wanted it?

57:55

Yeah, I want to sleep in

57:57

it. I love some of the

57:59

best sleep I ever had You've

58:01

never slept till you sleep where

58:04

Donald slept on the floor next

58:06

to Donald. Joe. Could I hire

58:08

Donald to sleep in there with

58:10

me? Can I fire, I think,

58:12

come on man, sleep next to

58:15

him. Just, I just want to

58:17

know Donald's near. He's not sleeping

58:19

in the same room. He goes

58:21

to bed at 6. I'm tweet-shitting

58:23

at 4.45 a. Tech me in

58:26

guy. All right, look, go to

58:28

bed. You're gonna have an unbelievable

58:30

night's sleep. Thank you, man. Close

58:32

your eyes. They've been closed all

58:34

day. I thought so. I thought

58:37

they were. Last time they were

58:39

open. Yeah, when you put Biden

58:41

to bed, you go, keep your

58:43

eyes close? Not gonna be an

58:45

issue. Your way out of line.

58:47

Remember when Biden's last gasp of

58:50

trying to be, trying to be

58:52

tough? You need to, you need

58:54

to get to the back of

58:56

the line. You need to, we're

58:58

all waiting in line for a

59:01

water fountain. You just cut in

59:03

line with your friend. We caught

59:05

you. Get in the back of

59:07

the line. All right, Joe. Joe.

59:09

Yeah. The, the, the, the Ray

59:12

bands towards the end, I was

59:14

like, stop putting him in those,

59:16

please. They just look like the

59:18

gaps in a skull. They

59:24

just look like eye sockets. Oh

59:26

my god. Two black holes. So

59:28

do you think it was the

59:30

same match as you do think

59:32

Trump got a fresh fresh fresh

59:34

fresh I'm gonna say it fresh

59:36

linens that's yeah fresh linen fresh

59:38

linen fresh everything that's a waste.

59:40

I bet you I think of

59:42

the rider that celebrities get they

59:44

he has to be like it

59:46

has to be down to like

59:48

Donald likes Sharman ultrasound like yeah

59:51

to the tee pee yeah yeah

59:53

well remember the button Trump has

59:55

a button for a diet coke

59:57

button what about the meatloaf Remember

59:59

the meatloaf? No. He fell in

1:00:01

love with the meatloaf in his

1:00:03

first term. What? He was obsessed

1:00:05

with the White House meatloaf. He

1:00:07

was ordering it all the time.

1:00:09

Chris Christie came over for dinner

1:00:11

when they were on like, okay,

1:00:13

terms. And Chris Christie sits down

1:00:15

and Trump is just like, don't

1:00:17

worry, we'll have the meatloaf. He

1:00:19

was like Chris, you're having the

1:00:21

meat, it's unbelievable meatloaf. Unbelievable meatloaf.

1:00:23

You haven't had a meatloaf, this

1:00:25

meatloaf, this meatloaf will have the

1:00:27

meatloaf. This meatloaf will have the

1:00:29

meatloaf. This meatloaf will have the

1:00:32

unbelievable moaf. It's cannibalism in every

1:00:34

metric. A loaf of meat eating

1:00:36

a big thing of meat, come

1:00:38

on. Let me

1:00:40

ask you this Chris. Do you

1:00:42

think they gave me a new

1:00:44

mattress for my second term? What

1:00:46

do you think? What do you

1:00:48

think? What do you think? New

1:00:50

mattress? They probably like when he

1:00:52

left the first term they like

1:00:54

hit it and just orange dust

1:00:56

just sort of like cheetot off

1:00:58

of it. That's what I mean.

1:01:00

Like a like a maid brings

1:01:02

it out and they're hitting it

1:01:04

with flat wooden bath each term.

1:01:06

Wait, say it again? So like

1:01:08

Clinton, we're obviously, you know, magic

1:01:10

shelling off. Yeah, we're taking off

1:01:12

his white coating. Yes. You hit

1:01:14

it with a small hammer, like

1:01:17

cracking a hard boiled egg and

1:01:19

the fried cascades. And he's like,

1:01:21

wow, I guess I gist a

1:01:23

lot. It's like someone yelling inside

1:01:25

of a glacier. Jesus, this is

1:01:27

chipping everywhere. Run! Run! Oh no!

1:01:29

Flea! So you got that and

1:01:31

then you could do a run

1:01:33

of the president's. I don't know

1:01:35

what would be, but Trump obviously

1:01:37

the Cheeto dust. Biden, it would

1:01:39

be skin. I would sleep in

1:01:41

a bed that Obama slept in

1:01:43

without changing the sheets. I would

1:01:45

feel most comfortable. Yeah, if Barry

1:01:47

had been in the bed. Although,

1:01:49

you've got to think active sex

1:01:51

life, probably. Him and Michelle. Yes.

1:01:53

Yeah, with respect, do you mean...

1:01:55

Michelle, much respect. I would be

1:01:57

shocked if Barack Obama was cheating

1:01:59

on his wife. I don't think

1:02:01

he cheats. I don't think he

1:02:03

does either. No. I don't think

1:02:05

he did either. He uses that

1:02:07

tunnel that JFK put in for

1:02:09

the ladies. He used that to

1:02:11

jog in. A lady tunnel? He

1:02:13

had a lady tunnel. That's the

1:02:16

vagina. Yeah, that's what I mean.

1:02:18

Oh, cool. Oh yeah. Hillary's lady

1:02:20

tunnel. I love it. But he

1:02:22

can't. He can't help but laugh.

1:02:24

Well, wait, wait. But, but that's

1:02:26

the other president. Yeah, other president.

1:02:28

Oh, that's another question. Yeah. George

1:02:30

Washington. Dumb question alert, ready. Teeth.

1:02:32

Did teeth sleep in the White

1:02:34

House, right? Well, he had the

1:02:36

White House for the first president.

1:02:38

Because there was like a war

1:02:40

going on. I feel like he

1:02:42

slept in a tent. I don't

1:02:44

know if they had it. I

1:02:46

don't know. Don't make me ask

1:02:48

the robot. Katie, can you look

1:02:50

at one who the first president?

1:02:52

that's when the militias were a

1:02:54

real threat like you were armed

1:02:56

you could just go in like

1:02:58

this over John Adams, so fucking

1:03:00

Paul Giamatiamati was the first president

1:03:02

to sleep Not that I'm I'm

1:03:04

gonna need my own house. I

1:03:06

can't be sleeping in a tent.

1:03:08

The war's over. I want meatloaf

1:03:10

and I want my own mattress

1:03:12

And I'm not drinking any Yes,

1:03:15

you don't say it You don't

1:03:17

say that in a modern geomadi

1:03:19

you don't say I'm not doing

1:03:21

it. I don't do geomadi. You

1:03:23

imply it. You just bring the

1:03:25

teeth. So yeah, I won't do

1:03:27

that. I'm doing it. I won't

1:03:29

do it. You won't do it.

1:03:31

Yeah, you can't do geomadi. Oh,

1:03:33

you can't do Paul voice. Can't

1:03:35

do Dylan voice? You can't do

1:03:37

geomadi teeth. So. John Adams, here's

1:03:39

a fun one. Okay. I'm gonna

1:03:41

guess that John Adams was the...

1:03:43

Go. This is where we really

1:03:45

put ourselves on trial. Okay. This

1:03:47

is... Abraham Lincoln was what? The

1:03:49

seventh? See, this is an... I

1:03:51

don't know. I thought he was

1:03:53

the fifth because he's on the

1:03:55

five. Let me context... Honest to

1:03:57

God? No, I'm being real. I'm

1:03:59

not joking. I'm not joking. Well,

1:04:01

they did Washington on one. But

1:04:03

here's the problem. Six! Fucking nuts.

1:04:05

Everyone was screaming at their radio.

1:04:07

But what, he's like 1850 or

1:04:09

so, again. He was the... So,

1:04:12

yeah. So, when we had Abe

1:04:14

Lincoln, there had already been 16,

1:04:16

15 other presidents? Yeah. Losers, losers,

1:04:18

no one remembers. Nobody remembers. They're

1:04:20

not even on a token. It's

1:04:22

Lincoln and everybody else. It goes

1:04:24

Washington, Lincoln, FDA, me. Bingo, bingo,

1:04:26

meatloaf, eat it, Chrissy. Eat it,

1:04:28

I wanna watch you hunk it

1:04:30

down. He'll have two. He'll have

1:04:32

two. I can't tell where Chris

1:04:34

stops and the meat love starts.

1:04:36

You know he does this with

1:04:38

Chris Christie. Trump orders and the

1:04:40

meat love and then he goes,

1:04:42

he'll have an end piece and

1:04:44

he pets his belly. He'll have

1:04:46

the end piece. You know he

1:04:48

does that. I didn't even like

1:04:50

doing that. Let him lick the

1:04:52

ladle. Let him lick the ladlever.

1:04:54

You mixed it. Mama wants to

1:04:56

lick the beaters. He wants to

1:04:58

lick the beaters for the dessert

1:05:00

because he's for the dessert because

1:05:02

he's gonna lick him. Because he's

1:05:04

gonna lick him. He's gonna lick

1:05:06

him. He's gonna lick him. He's

1:05:08

gonna lick him. He's gonna lick

1:05:11

him. Nine times at a ten

1:05:13

you're going to find Chris in

1:05:15

a pitch black kitchen, you turn

1:05:17

the lights on, he's got his

1:05:19

tongue in the beat, he's caught.

1:05:21

You're just going to see a

1:05:23

bottom in the air and a

1:05:25

couple legs kicking inside of a

1:05:27

deep bowl. This guy's like a

1:05:29

raccoon for leftovers. He's a trash

1:05:31

panda, or a panda, as they'd

1:05:33

say, in Great Britain. He loves

1:05:35

the banana cream pudding. Trump doing

1:05:37

a British accent, great to be

1:05:39

here, great to be here. It's

1:05:41

honestly quite an honor. It's honestly

1:05:43

great. I've loved every minute of

1:05:45

it. It's the biggest... It's a

1:05:47

huge bend. From the time I've

1:05:49

got an off air force bloody

1:05:51

one mate. Unbelievable. It's an aeroplane.

1:05:53

What a shock. It's a shock.

1:05:55

I can't believe the Beatles made

1:05:57

their appearance on the Ed Sullivan

1:05:59

show a long time ago. I

1:06:01

want to hold you around, they

1:06:03

said, but it's not their and

1:06:05

is it. It's not their and.

1:06:07

At all. And there's something else

1:06:10

you want to hold. I said

1:06:12

it on the Access Hollywood bit.

1:06:14

I made a mistake. I made

1:06:16

a big mistake. I said grab

1:06:18

them by it. I didn't mean

1:06:20

it. Grab them by the Fanny.

1:06:22

Grab them by their Fanny. They're

1:06:24

front bam. I shouldn't have done

1:06:26

that. I shouldn't have done it.

1:06:28

That was a mistake. When he's

1:06:30

so British, he apologizes. Whopsy days.

1:06:32

Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. Whoops. I can't

1:06:34

take that back, but I wish

1:06:36

I could. Oh my God, he's

1:06:38

on all the chat shows. He's

1:06:40

in the round. He's on Graham

1:06:42

Norton. He's on Graham Norton. Fuggin'

1:06:44

Billy Eilish is sitting next to

1:06:46

him. I shouldn't have said it.

1:06:48

You're on unbelievable. You are a

1:06:50

talent. Billy with an all-yeed. Now

1:06:52

I've seen everything. See it all.

1:06:54

That is one of my favorite

1:06:56

attempts to try to do like

1:06:58

celebrities with accents. It's so bizarrely

1:07:00

like my brain is like... I

1:07:02

did one on the dollop once

1:07:04

that was like... I think it

1:07:07

was English Rodney Dangerfield. It was

1:07:09

just like... Oh, this has happened

1:07:11

before? Well, ran like once or

1:07:13

twice where it's been like put

1:07:15

him like in like Italian travolta,

1:07:17

like deep Italian tavolta. But to,

1:07:19

this is what I was going

1:07:21

to say about the presidents. On

1:07:23

the dollop, like one of our

1:07:25

first episodes, Dave mentioned Benjamin Franklin.

1:07:27

And I don't remember what my

1:07:29

wording was, but I was like,

1:07:31

when he was president and Dave's

1:07:33

face was like, oh. And I

1:07:35

was like, what? Like I assume

1:07:37

because he was on money? Yeah,

1:07:39

yeah, yeah. He was president. No,

1:07:41

he was on our hundredth, most

1:07:43

likely. The fact, I'm gonna say,

1:07:45

there's a comparison to be made

1:07:47

here. Okay. The fact that Ben

1:07:49

Franklin is on the $100 bill

1:07:51

and wasn't a president. Shocking. Is

1:07:53

like, what? It's nuts. It's like

1:07:55

Sonic the Hedgehog is Disney now?

1:07:57

It really is... He's standing next

1:07:59

to Mickey Mouse? Because he's fast

1:08:01

and has floppy red shoes. Not

1:08:03

in my America. He's got carrot

1:08:06

red shoes, and he hangs out

1:08:08

with a freak fox with two

1:08:10

tails. And he lip, lip, lip,

1:08:12

lip. He's up in the air.

1:08:14

What's he doing up there? I

1:08:16

don't trust it. Knuckles. Knuckles is

1:08:18

Idris, Idris Elba. Idris Elbows, don't

1:08:20

fuck with him, he'll elbow you.

1:08:22

Right in the Billy eyelash. Popular.

1:08:24

There's one other president who is

1:08:26

on currency, one other person who's

1:08:28

on currency wasn't president, and I

1:08:30

think it's Hamilton. Hamilton wasn't? No.

1:08:32

Hamilton's on the 10. Yes. Oh,

1:08:34

Hamilton was never president. Right? But

1:08:36

because he has a musical, because

1:08:38

he's got a wonderful musical, Lin

1:08:40

Manuel. He was never president. Thank

1:08:42

God. But he was writing like

1:08:44

he was running out of time.

1:08:46

He was too busy wrapping. He

1:08:48

was on the road. He was

1:08:50

freestyle wrapping and he could have

1:08:52

been present, but he couldn't think

1:08:54

of something that rhymed with, I

1:08:56

do take these vows. I don't

1:08:58

know. Oath is a word you

1:09:00

can't rhyme. Oath is like orange.

1:09:02

It's like oats withered lisp. It's

1:09:05

been cumbersome for those of us

1:09:07

with normal time. Oth meal. Oth

1:09:09

meal. Oth meal. I got in

1:09:11

trouble for making oath mill in

1:09:13

my luggage. I didn't put my

1:09:15

hand on the Bible. Didn't want

1:09:17

people to smell the sizzle. That

1:09:19

was weird, right? Don't smell the

1:09:21

sizzle. Well, if there's anybody that

1:09:23

would jump on someone else for

1:09:25

not doing that. Yes. Yeah, the

1:09:27

conspiracy that would have come out

1:09:29

of that if Obama didn't do

1:09:31

that. Doesn't count. Well, he couldn't

1:09:33

touch it because of the dark.

1:09:35

It would burn. I hear now

1:09:37

are like, they need you to

1:09:39

humiliate yourself. Like when Mike Tyson

1:09:41

showed his ass, remember when his

1:09:43

ass was, they were like, well

1:09:45

that's the satanic church, that's the

1:09:47

oath that they're, the oath meal

1:09:49

that they're eating is like, he

1:09:51

has to humiliate himself. But like

1:09:53

you watch it and I'm like,

1:09:55

look, if Mike Tyson was like,

1:09:57

I gotta, I gotta throw my

1:09:59

ass. he did it so beautifully

1:10:01

so naturally it made me feel

1:10:04

very comfortable with my ass because

1:10:06

i was like yeah very this

1:10:08

is like a former professional athlete

1:10:10

has got a little yeah he's

1:10:12

got a dumpy he's got a

1:10:14

bit of a dumpy my butt

1:10:16

next to Tyson's butt you pick

1:10:18

my butt every time I would

1:10:20

love to have the opportunity to

1:10:22

see it go to our patron

1:10:24

page I'm just gonna leave you

1:10:26

want to see a picture of

1:10:28

my ass next to my Tyson's

1:10:30

that's that's the only thing on

1:10:32

your patriot it's eight dollars a

1:10:34

month and it's just this picture

1:10:36

forever And it's spelled P-A-Y, it's

1:10:38

like wrong. I just bought a

1:10:40

URL. Go to our Patreon. That's

1:10:42

what I think Patreon is. You

1:10:44

should have a Peterion. Peterion. Well

1:10:46

that goes back to Cameo. I

1:10:48

would like to do that for

1:10:50

people. But I wish there was

1:10:52

a, like if they needed a

1:10:54

cheer up or a birthday or

1:10:56

something like that. But I'd like

1:10:58

to find, and I have, like

1:11:01

sometimes, I was just gonna ask

1:11:03

people of video or something. Yep.

1:11:05

But like I wish we could.

1:11:07

I can't figure it out. It

1:11:09

would be great to be like

1:11:11

if you want to send back

1:11:13

money, but it just feels so

1:11:15

weird. Here's what you could, because

1:11:17

that's what I do sometimes as

1:11:19

I go, like I'm like, what

1:11:21

is the line? Because you're not

1:11:23

on cameo for the reasons we

1:11:25

talked about, as well as you're

1:11:27

just like, I don't really want

1:11:29

to sit around and just like,

1:11:31

make five minute videos that are

1:11:33

just like, that's so hilarious that

1:11:35

your thumb hurts, you know, you

1:11:37

know, like, like, like, like, like,

1:11:39

but what is what I thought

1:11:41

about what I thought about doing,

1:11:43

Was like I'll do it for

1:11:45

a month like when I had

1:11:47

like a slow month be like

1:11:49

I'll do it for a month

1:11:51

and I'm putting it all towards

1:11:53

charity Yeah, till like then animal

1:11:55

fund like save the cultures or

1:11:57

whatever. Yeah, and then and then

1:12:00

Yanking the plug. Oh and then

1:12:02

you're done. Then I'm done. Yeah, I,

1:12:04

that. But then you, the problem

1:12:06

is that people will, not the

1:12:08

problem, but it's like, it's just

1:12:10

like anything. It's like, if, if

1:12:12

you start doing that often, then people go,

1:12:14

oh, he does it for free. And, you

1:12:17

know, it's like, I had one person be

1:12:19

like, you make a birthday video for my

1:12:21

partner. So I was like, all right, happy

1:12:23

birthday, I have a birthday, whatever, whatever. I

1:12:25

was like, I'm sorry, you got two close

1:12:27

ones. So you got two closies, that'll be

1:12:29

good enough, I think. That is so funny.

1:12:32

You know, it made me think of something,

1:12:34

but I'm going to keep it to myself.

1:12:36

It's about Brabiglia. We both got asked to do a

1:12:38

video. And the, well, now I'm just saying it. The reason

1:12:40

he didn't do it is he's like, yeah, I'm just saying

1:12:42

it. He's like, I don't want to do it, and I

1:12:44

was like, and I was like, and I was like, and

1:12:46

I was like, and I was like, because, because with the

1:12:48

internet, because with the internet and I, because with the

1:12:50

internet and I, because with the internet and

1:12:52

I, If you make a video, they can

1:12:54

make it so you're saying anything. And I

1:12:56

was like, there's enough footage of you, we

1:12:59

can do that already. You're quite prolific. I

1:13:01

was like, just say you don't want to

1:13:03

do it. You don't have to be like,

1:13:05

the AI risk. That's one of those ones

1:13:07

where you just got a bad, you're right.

1:13:09

That's all I said. I was like, I'm

1:13:12

not going to push it. There's got to

1:13:14

be a word for that when someone gives

1:13:16

an excuse that isn't right, that isn't right.

1:13:18

Yeah, but isn't right. It's the safe

1:13:20

word. Yeah, you're just you're not

1:13:22

really saying raspberries. Yes, yes You're

1:13:24

in fear. Yes, I understand you

1:13:26

have a phobia You're living in

1:13:28

fear. Yes living in fear that

1:13:30

but I definitely feel that we're

1:13:32

like there are times when you

1:13:35

work with people where you go

1:13:37

like okay Yeah, yeah, I just

1:13:39

got let that go every once

1:13:41

in a while you just have

1:13:43

to go. That's just what's happening.

1:13:45

Yeah, can you sing the theme

1:13:47

song from living single? You can.

1:13:49

In a 90s kind of world. I'm

1:13:51

glad I've got my girls. Keep your

1:13:54

head up. There's like a rap part

1:13:56

I don't remember. I don't do the

1:13:58

rap. I don't. I don't

1:14:01

do the rap. I'm not left-eye.

1:14:03

I'm not Lisa left. He knows

1:14:05

all of it. I'm not Lisa

1:14:07

left-eye Lopez. Rest in peace. Shut

1:14:09

up, Teabas, chili. Teep. Try the

1:14:11

chili. I'll do family matters. Or

1:14:14

wait, no, full house. Whatever happened

1:14:16

to respectability. Predictability. Or respectability. Hold

1:14:18

on, I'm gonna stop the piano

1:14:20

for a minute, because I have

1:14:22

a thought on respect. Respect. Did

1:14:24

Chappelle get in trouble for saying

1:14:27

that Reginald, the guy who played

1:14:29

the dad, was having sex with

1:14:31

Puffie? Like, after, remember, did you

1:14:33

watch the S&L monologue? No, I

1:14:35

didn't. Oh, in the S&L monologue,

1:14:37

he like alludes to, he says,

1:14:40

like, I saw it on the

1:14:42

internet, which means it's probably not

1:14:44

true, but then he's like, but

1:14:46

I don't know, and that he's

1:14:48

like, somebody walked in a room

1:14:50

and Puffie was having sex with

1:14:53

the dad from the dad from

1:14:55

family matters, from Family Matters. You

1:14:57

mean run with that one? Yeah,

1:14:59

for family matter. That would be

1:15:01

the ripple effect. Whatever happened to

1:15:03

predictability. The milkman, what happened to

1:15:05

the milkman? He used to bring

1:15:08

the milk. This guy. This guy

1:15:10

knew. Forgotten milkman. There would be

1:15:12

missing people on it. Actually, the

1:15:14

glass one didn't give a fuck

1:15:16

about helping with any investigation. The

1:15:18

glass one was like, I'll keep

1:15:21

your milk cold. I don't want

1:15:23

to get involved. Carton is like,

1:15:25

I'll help. Carton's like, look, I'll

1:15:27

be around for a while. This

1:15:29

kid's gone. Help. Can you help?

1:15:31

Have you seen this kid? I

1:15:34

can't even see him. I'm a

1:15:36

carton. I look from the inside.

1:15:38

I'm in a milky darkness. I

1:15:40

mean, I looked from the inside.

1:15:42

I mean, I looked inside the

1:15:44

carton for an hour and a

1:15:47

half one day. So I don't

1:15:49

know what kind of prize. Oh

1:15:51

my god. A

1:15:54

milky dark man. Did you know the

1:15:56

Matrix was actually based on a Philip

1:15:58

K Dick book called The Milky Dark?

1:16:00

This show is sponsored by Better Help.

1:16:03

You've heard me talk a lot about

1:16:05

Better Help because I love talk therapy.

1:16:07

It is actively improved, enhanced, and changed

1:16:09

my life for the better. You hear

1:16:11

a lot of people out there talking

1:16:14

about red flags. Look out for these

1:16:16

red flags in your relationships with your

1:16:18

friendships at work, whatever it might be.

1:16:20

We don't talk enough about green flags.

1:16:22

Where the green flags, the things that

1:16:25

you want to have in your life,

1:16:27

that's one of the things that therapy

1:16:29

can cultivate and bring out and help

1:16:31

you recognize. In romantic relationships, in your

1:16:33

friendships, in your work relationships, what are

1:16:36

the things that we should be calling

1:16:38

green flags and help increase and embody

1:16:40

that green flag energy in yourself? and

1:16:42

identify it in others. Whether you're dating,

1:16:44

married, building a friendship, or just working

1:16:47

on yourself, it's time to form relationships

1:16:49

that love you back. Let's get some

1:16:51

green flags. You guys know, talk therapy

1:16:53

is greater than the sum of its

1:16:55

parts. It's not just talking. It's talking

1:16:58

to a trained professional who knows how

1:17:00

to gently nudge you in different directions

1:17:02

to bring out the best. Get over

1:17:04

that codependence. Set up that boundary with

1:17:06

that family member. Find that self-love that

1:17:09

says, yes, I deserve this, this, and

1:17:11

this, and I'm going to go for

1:17:13

it. It is absolutely revolutionized both my

1:17:15

life and Valerie's life. That's why it

1:17:17

comes up so much on this podcast.

1:17:44

also brought to us by our friend

1:17:46

at Modern Mammals, just the quickest little

1:17:48

mention here. I hate shampoo. It makes

1:17:50

your hair look like a fucking tumbleweed

1:17:53

rolling through a western facade movie set.

1:17:55

Not even a real one. Looks like

1:17:57

garbage. Your hair gets fried out. It's

1:17:59

unruly. Modern mammals is the only shampoo

1:18:01

that I like. It's the only one

1:18:04

that I use. You put it through

1:18:06

your hair and it kind of feels

1:18:08

like you went to the beach that

1:18:10

day. It's got a little bit of

1:18:12

control. It left enough of that natural

1:18:15

oil in your hair to make it

1:18:17

manageable and give it a try. If

1:18:19

you're anything like me, you will love

1:18:21

it and there's no going back. Modern

1:18:23

mammals.com/weird. See, that could go on stage

1:18:26

as well, but that's not as... Yeah,

1:18:28

I'm a bit of a walk, but

1:18:30

still... I'm not even sure about the

1:18:32

mattress one if I'm being on us.

1:18:34

I think it might have been best

1:18:37

performed here today. There's a lot of

1:18:39

those, for sure. Where are you on

1:18:41

new material now? New material? I think

1:18:43

I have about... I think I have

1:18:45

about 30 minutes. Okay. I just filmed

1:18:48

my new hour in Portland. Oh, you

1:18:50

just did? Yeah, about three weeks ago.

1:18:52

Oh, wow. Oh, that's where? At the

1:18:54

Aladdin. Oh, it's great. Yeah, it was,

1:18:56

and it's great. We're actually editing it

1:18:59

tomorrow morning. And, you know, towards the

1:19:01

end of the tour, you start working

1:19:03

in the new stuff. Yeah. There's a

1:19:05

lot of like, here's a lot of

1:19:07

like. record-keeping for me. I didn't always

1:19:10

do this but you need to like

1:19:12

have documents that say like what did

1:19:14

you do last time you were in

1:19:16

this city and then you go okay

1:19:18

and then you swap out some stuff

1:19:21

and do the the new 30 in

1:19:23

the middle and then you so next

1:19:25

time you go you can't do that

1:19:27

so you better have a new new

1:19:29

30 so there's all these like No,

1:19:32

it's like it's like alternate timelines. That's

1:19:34

what I'll listen and I'll be like

1:19:36

okay. Yeah, that's yeah I can't I

1:19:38

and it'll be like I'll be up

1:19:40

so be like Jesus crazy been doing

1:19:43

this forever. Yeah, and there's some of

1:19:45

those too. You're really like I can't

1:19:47

believe I was doing that joke. Or

1:19:49

your bench players. Have you already used

1:19:51

your bench players there? I'm trying to

1:19:54

retire my bench players because when you

1:19:56

bring up a thing, you do an

1:19:58

hour, usually there's guys that you call

1:20:00

off the bench. You're like, well, we

1:20:02

need you again. Yep. And there are

1:20:05

certain jokes that I've done every time

1:20:07

after my hour taping. And I'm not

1:20:09

doing that this year. So you're going

1:20:11

all new. I'm going all new and

1:20:13

it feels so good. It really is

1:20:16

the best feeling. I forget who said

1:20:18

this, but it really changed my life.

1:20:20

Somebody was like, if you're feeling stuck

1:20:22

in stand-up, like you just don't love

1:20:24

it anymore, they were like, write a

1:20:27

new joke and try it. And I

1:20:29

was like, that's exactly correct. That to

1:20:31

me is like... That's where because the

1:20:33

gains you see in like that first

1:20:35

like month or six weeks of like

1:20:38

how you're making it better Even if

1:20:40

it ends up not working. Yeah, you

1:20:42

have a project like you have a

1:20:44

little focus. You're like I got this

1:20:46

guy I really want this guy to

1:20:49

work. Yep. And then you get really

1:20:51

excited and then when he starts working

1:20:53

and you're going oh I catch myself

1:20:55

smiling for no reason like in a

1:20:57

good you know when you wake up

1:21:00

and you remember you wake up and

1:21:02

you have to break up with your

1:21:04

girlfriend or you know I have the

1:21:06

opposite when I have a new bit

1:21:08

that I'm like excited about. You'll catch

1:21:11

yourself smiling. Or thinking or going, oh,

1:21:13

that'd be good. Totally. And I want

1:21:15

to write them out. I love writing

1:21:17

out all the new bits and how

1:21:19

I just last night I was writing

1:21:22

out how two jokes go together. And

1:21:24

I was like, oh my God, it's

1:21:26

happening. And I'm trying something new and

1:21:28

I want to put this to you.

1:21:30

Meaning, what are your thoughts, obviously? I'm

1:21:33

like, this hour, I want to have

1:21:35

like, kind of an intent for it,

1:21:37

like a flavor. You all have different

1:21:39

colors and flavors. And this one is

1:21:41

shaping up to be really silly and

1:21:44

playful and really fun and pleasant to

1:21:46

perform. And I'm like, I hope I

1:21:48

can keep this up. Like the hour

1:21:50

I just did, there were a couple

1:21:52

bits that I'm like, how am I

1:21:55

going to do this one? Like there's

1:21:57

so many, this is a brag, but

1:21:59

there's so many parts acting out. There's

1:22:01

so much yelling. And I'm just like,

1:22:03

so on the last night of the

1:22:06

weekend when I would do that joke,

1:22:08

and on the new hour, it was

1:22:10

Q-tips and take off your shoes and

1:22:12

they were together. And boy, they're like

1:22:14

frenzy jokes. They're like, I'm spinning plates.

1:22:17

And that's the fun. This new hour

1:22:19

is very like, it's more like, just

1:22:21

talking about it. It's fun. I think,

1:22:23

you know what's funny is like, when

1:22:25

you get those more complicated longer runs.

1:22:28

and they kill you're like fuck yeah

1:22:30

but when they don't you're like well

1:22:32

i was a lot of chatting for

1:22:34

you guys to watch me drink water

1:22:36

now because i finished that that's right

1:22:39

yeah like and it's over because i've

1:22:41

stopped speaking yes not because it was

1:22:43

good i have one joke where i'm

1:22:45

like like i'll get like either the

1:22:47

like clap for him or like which

1:22:50

you know and i'll go that applause

1:22:52

i can tell is based on you're

1:22:54

like wow that monkey dancing a lot

1:22:56

for a banana a banana like Because

1:22:58

I'm like, because I'm like, yeah, I

1:23:01

got that a high velocity with a

1:23:03

high rate for a while and you're

1:23:05

really nailing it. In Stand Up, if

1:23:07

there's anything that's vulnerable and unpleasant, it's

1:23:09

when you're in the middle of a

1:23:12

joke that requires a lot of performance,

1:23:14

a lot of words, and a lot

1:23:16

of volume, and it's not really working.

1:23:18

And you know, normally, I've got people

1:23:20

with me here. And you're not there

1:23:23

right now, so. And especially, and then

1:23:25

if you're me, and let's say, I

1:23:27

have some jokes about my parents or

1:23:29

something, I'm like, oh, they're thinking I'm

1:23:31

a bad son or something. Like I

1:23:34

have moments like that. Or like, where

1:23:36

they disagree with me. Yeah. Like, Val

1:23:38

is so good at this. She's like,

1:23:40

Pete, they were just taking a break.

1:23:42

Or they were just tired or you

1:23:45

forgot to say this line and no

1:23:47

one knew what the fuck you were

1:23:49

talking about. it's so different like it's

1:23:51

like when you do like i did

1:23:53

a bigger room on my last run

1:23:56

like i mostly do clubs and i

1:23:58

did like a bigger room and i

1:24:00

was like i i definitely was like

1:24:02

don't talk about how you I feel

1:24:04

like you're bombing a lot. Yeah, but

1:24:07

a couple times I was like talking

1:24:09

about it and it was just because

1:24:11

the room was so big that the

1:24:13

laughs leave so quickly. Oh in the

1:24:15

big room you felt like you were

1:24:18

bombing. Yes. Yes. I'll say that yes.

1:24:20

Which you probably because you're your theaters

1:24:22

only. No, no, I'm not. Oh, are

1:24:24

you I'm alternating all the time. In

1:24:26

fact, the night before. Portland. We were

1:24:29

in Seattle and where were we there?

1:24:31

I forget what it's called. I'm so

1:24:33

sorry, but it's where the even flow

1:24:35

video was. There you go. We watched

1:24:37

that backstage and we're like, I can't

1:24:40

believe I'm like following even flow. Yeah,

1:24:42

in your head. In my mind, that's

1:24:44

the only thing that's happened there. Yes.

1:24:46

Even flow and then it was me.

1:24:48

Yeah. But I really, you know, 90s

1:24:51

kid, I couldn't believe Nirvana had been

1:24:53

there and Pearl Jam and I was

1:24:55

like, this is insane. So I was

1:24:57

really into it. But that was about

1:24:59

$1,700 or something, which is really big

1:25:02

for me. And we went out and

1:25:04

to me, it's like, you go in

1:25:06

slower, hand in pocket, try not to

1:25:08

yell too much and go slow and

1:25:10

let them laugh. It takes a while.

1:25:13

It's like. Drying your bed sheets. It

1:25:15

just takes longer. Club is like your

1:25:17

hand washing a sock in the river.

1:25:19

This is like a machine washing fitted

1:25:21

sheet. So you just have to go

1:25:24

slower. But then we had such a

1:25:26

great time and we were like, holy

1:25:28

shit, 700 people, it's great. Like they're

1:25:30

really giving it up. Then we go

1:25:32

to the Aladdin, which is, I don't

1:25:35

know. 13 maybe? What do you think?

1:25:37

I think it's less. I think it's

1:25:39

like a thousand. Okay. And we were

1:25:41

like, wow. There's a big difference It

1:25:43

felt more like a club in a

1:25:46

good way, too, but I had to

1:25:48

stay on top of them I hope

1:25:50

this is interesting, but I was like

1:25:52

wow Even in a theater you can

1:25:54

still feel scrappy and you can still

1:25:57

feel It's not orating yet at 1700.

1:25:59

I felt like I was orating. Yeah,

1:26:01

right is the punch line. Yeah, and

1:26:03

there were enough people to carry it

1:26:05

small theater. You can still feel like

1:26:08

you're bombing and yet you have to

1:26:10

like pick up the pace all the

1:26:12

tricks you would do in a club

1:26:14

yeah it is it's real it's so

1:26:16

weird it's like I do like the

1:26:19

clubs I go to for the most

1:26:21

part I'm like okay yeah I can

1:26:23

like I can tell what's going on

1:26:25

yeah I have a much better pulse

1:26:27

of the room those bigger rooms you

1:26:30

start going like you'd you I always,

1:26:32

because I started staying up kind of

1:26:34

late, so I watched stand up for

1:26:36

a while, and I would always be

1:26:38

like, why is this guy talking about

1:26:41

how he's bombing? He's not bombing. Yes.

1:26:43

You know, and I'd be like, don't

1:26:45

do that. Or, you know. You're taking

1:26:47

a page right from my book. Before

1:26:49

I go out, I'm not going, I'm

1:26:52

trying to think positive. In any way.

1:26:54

And the bombing to me is if

1:26:56

I'm like, that usually does better, in

1:26:58

some version that comes out, that's actually

1:27:00

bombing. It's not silence, it's I've gotten

1:27:03

sour in some way. I think there's

1:27:05

like, it's funny because I will do

1:27:07

it from time to time, but it's

1:27:09

like, if you do it too much,

1:27:11

like after the show, like when I'm

1:27:14

selling merch or whatever, like. People will

1:27:16

if people start going like sorry about

1:27:18

the audience. That's when I'm like I

1:27:20

fucking push this way too. Like I

1:27:22

was like I was having fun. I

1:27:25

was like joking around about it to

1:27:27

you Again, that is very good. They're

1:27:29

like they're doing their best Yeah, you'll

1:27:31

it's so much better for me in

1:27:33

those moments to acknowledge them in some

1:27:36

way that shows that you're aware of

1:27:38

them but not in a negative yeah

1:27:40

I think that's always you can be

1:27:42

like I don't you guys weren't sure

1:27:44

about that one or maybe you were

1:27:47

I don't know I don't know you

1:27:49

guys like I have all these save

1:27:51

lines where I'm like you guys haven't

1:27:53

been an audience before like yeah right

1:27:55

in this exact assemblage you're figuring it

1:27:58

out and then afterwards then they like

1:28:00

really come alive because they're like oh

1:28:02

he's looking at us and so you're

1:28:04

looking at me I'm looking I did

1:28:06

a show in a show in Minneapolis

1:28:09

a couple of a couple weeks 30

1:28:11

people and they were the first like

1:28:13

three rows oh well and so it

1:28:15

was weird because it was like yeah

1:28:17

you don't want them it felt like

1:28:20

an away game and and so I

1:28:22

was like I could tell like they

1:28:24

knew each other that they knew each

1:28:26

other and that one guy was like

1:28:28

this is the best and that 29

1:28:31

people were like sell us and it

1:28:33

was definitely like a good lesson at

1:28:35

being like stay in the pocket. It's

1:28:37

true. Don't. I think it's a meditative

1:28:39

thing. It's like, stay in your own

1:28:42

truth. Yes. The other thing, stick to

1:28:44

the plan. You don't, you know how

1:28:46

on an airplane you're not allowed to

1:28:48

congregate? Yeah. It's like, not anymore. Ugh.

1:28:50

You mean like pre-9? Everyone was forming

1:28:53

clicks. Yeah, now everything's a cell. Pre-9

1:28:55

though, you could, remember? We'd have little

1:28:57

clumps. You'd click out. Remember. Remember that?

1:28:59

Pre-9 I'm in the, I'm going all

1:29:01

the way to the back, hanging out

1:29:04

with the people that don't respond. Pre-9,

1:29:06

I'll hang out near the shitter! Pre-9,

1:29:08

I'm just lingering. Pre-9! In first class,

1:29:10

I'm not in there. I'd use the

1:29:12

front shitter, there was no flight attendant,

1:29:15

I'd use the front shitter, there was

1:29:17

no flight attendant, I'd use the front

1:29:19

shitter, there was no flight attendant, I

1:29:21

know it's on auto. Now

1:29:23

if the pilot's got to take his

1:29:26

shit, God forbid! Can I ask you

1:29:28

a question? Why did we have autopilot

1:29:30

in airplanes before we had it in

1:29:32

cars? That seems crazy. It's crazy. I

1:29:35

mean, it's, I guess there's nothing up

1:29:37

there. Yeah, that's why. There's no traffic

1:29:39

lights. You're asking a lot of, I

1:29:41

mean, it was like, it's also the

1:29:44

long stretch. Yeah, it's a long stretch.

1:29:46

I don't think the pilots wanted us

1:29:48

to know about how much the auto.

1:29:51

There's a lot more than just putting

1:29:53

on the auto pilot. Oh, we're talking.

1:29:55

But up there they're up there reading

1:29:57

husser up. I feel like I feel

1:30:00

like Pilots love pornography. I feel like

1:30:02

they're into it and they definitely have

1:30:04

projectors. Oh boy, he's just like, look,

1:30:07

now you got a bank happy, you know that

1:30:09

right? Final projector thought, get over the

1:30:11

stigma, get one in the wall and

1:30:13

you don't need a screen, it just

1:30:15

needs to be dark, and now you're

1:30:17

playing any video game and it's the

1:30:19

greatest thing you've ever done in your

1:30:21

life. I think you have, you think

1:30:23

I'm judging you think I'm judging you,

1:30:25

but that I would call projectionist. I'm

1:30:28

really sorry. Like racist? No,

1:30:30

no, like you're projecting and there's

1:30:33

a long walk. I liked it

1:30:35

for a moment. For a moment.

1:30:37

For a moment you were for

1:30:39

a mint. For a mint mento.

1:30:41

For a mint mento. Would you

1:30:44

do it for a mint mento?

1:30:46

Would you do it for a mint

1:30:48

mento? I don't know. I had a

1:30:50

fruit mento under two months ago. Get

1:30:53

back in. I don't know what I don't

1:30:55

know what you got you to

1:30:57

leave. Can I ask you something?

1:31:00

Get back. Skittles is out there

1:31:02

driving a Ferrari. Mentos is over

1:31:04

at the fucking Vons. Well look,

1:31:07

Skittles, you can dislocate the job.

1:31:09

Mentos is like a slow, delicious

1:31:11

cloud bite. It seems like a

1:31:13

medicine that heals unhappiness. I'm not

1:31:16

going to push back too hard

1:31:18

on that. I will say, on

1:31:20

it being a little medicinal. on

1:31:23

the mentos having the vibe of like it.

1:31:25

It comes in like an orange tube and

1:31:27

you can't open it. It's a quality. But

1:31:29

I will say. There should be a safety

1:31:31

seal on a mento. I don't agree. I

1:31:33

think get back involved. Try a fruit

1:31:35

mentos. No, I'm with you. Are you?

1:31:38

When I say municipal. No, no, no.

1:31:40

I'm saying Skittles is out there,

1:31:42

King Dick. Okay. And Mentos is

1:31:44

like, I'm a huge Skittle. Skittles.

1:31:46

I relate to Mentos a lot.

1:31:48

I'm like, I'm out here slinging

1:31:50

delicious fruit candy. I'm going to

1:31:52

everybody's buying Skittle tickets. Okay, you

1:31:54

bring me in. I'm a fixer.

1:31:57

I'm like the wolf and pulpiction.

1:31:59

Yeah, yeah. to be fucking shinier.

1:32:01

Yeah. Why is it so dull?

1:32:03

Yeah. This dull pale orange. Yeah.

1:32:05

It's like orange was dying and

1:32:07

it was like, Mentos? And then

1:32:09

it was gone. Because this is

1:32:11

what Mentos was like, look, we

1:32:13

don't want to put so much

1:32:15

god damn coloring. It's the taste.

1:32:17

No, no, no. And Skittles was

1:32:19

like, we invented a new blue. And

1:32:22

new blue is winning all the way.

1:32:24

Tropical Skittles. Excepting. I want this. color

1:32:26

like the way you would paint a

1:32:28

car you want yes orange you want

1:32:31

the sheen too you want a slick

1:32:33

and it could be a little bit

1:32:35

harder pau I'm saying you can take your

1:32:38

current inventory of mentos and

1:32:40

put the sheen and the game around

1:32:42

it but they but again I mean

1:32:44

they're what they're from Belgium where they

1:32:46

that's what I mean you can tell

1:32:48

there's something they were just like a

1:32:50

guy like but why would we do

1:32:52

that is American's that would make no

1:32:55

sense it's like look they trust

1:32:57

us Give it the Ferrari

1:32:59

glean. There's something Italian cookie

1:33:01

about mentos. And when I

1:33:03

say it, potentially, I'm

1:33:05

not, I'm not. You know Italian

1:33:07

cookies? It's like, what is this, flour

1:33:09

and nutmeg? Like, why is it done?

1:33:11

Have we finished? I think you guys

1:33:14

put out a half done batch. When

1:33:16

you're a kid and you eat an

1:33:18

Italian cookie, your dad's like, we're going

1:33:20

to the best bakery at town. It's

1:33:22

like a snowflake and you eat it

1:33:24

and you're like, what, that's safe? Yeah.

1:33:26

And then like the other option is

1:33:28

like, Biscati, it's burned. It's all

1:33:30

or nothing. When you have an American

1:33:32

cookie, and is there anything, look, I'm

1:33:35

gonna say chocolate chip has lapped Apple

1:33:37

pie as the official pie as

1:33:39

the official. treat of America without

1:33:41

question. If you eat a fucking

1:33:43

butter sugar chocolate explosion that's crisp

1:33:46

and flat and you're fucking jizzing.

1:33:48

Yeah. And then you eat an

1:33:50

Italian cookie? Yeah. I agree. I think,

1:33:52

you know, honestly, I like Thai food. I

1:33:54

went to Thailand. I ate the Thai food.

1:33:56

I was like, I hate to be this

1:33:58

guy. But the American. You guys aren't doing

1:34:01

it right. You tell you where I'm

1:34:03

from. You tie-splined? I tie-splaid. I did.

1:34:05

I did. Let me tie-splend this to

1:34:07

you. Well no, America takes a lot

1:34:09

of cuisines. And it's a lot of

1:34:11

sugar. Well we're putting sugar in the

1:34:13

pasta sauce. I put that in, but

1:34:15

I was like, even your consistency, Thailand?

1:34:17

Well, in defense of the Italian cookie,

1:34:19

cookie cookie, cookie, that's Netflix. Yeah. And

1:34:21

we like Netflix. I want to be

1:34:23

able to scroll on the phone and

1:34:25

have them shout who everyone is four

1:34:27

to five times. An Italian cookie you

1:34:29

eat it and you have like a

1:34:31

memory. Yeah, and you're like, yeah, and

1:34:33

you're like, we should go for a

1:34:35

walk after this. I want to go

1:34:38

in a biscuit coma. That's what I

1:34:40

want when I need to cookie here.

1:34:42

I want to be like, oh my

1:34:44

god, I just yelled at my dad

1:34:46

for no reason. I got a nap.

1:34:48

Why did I just say fuck off

1:34:50

to one of one of my parents?

1:34:52

What time cookie you go on a

1:34:54

walk after? Or you journal. Yeah, yeah,

1:34:56

yeah. You play some light piano. I'm

1:34:58

gonna leave my phone inside and sit

1:35:00

on the porch. Yeah, watch the sky

1:35:02

because I actually have less dopamine. I'm

1:35:04

feeling good. I feel good. I ate

1:35:06

real food. It is, there's a sunset

1:35:08

quality to an Italian cookie. Whereas here.

1:35:10

An American cookie is like, after you

1:35:12

eat this, all day you're gonna be

1:35:14

chasing. I'm gonna delete all my spam.

1:35:16

After you eat a yeah, you're like

1:35:19

full of like a weird project. Yes,

1:35:21

everything Americans eat is to motivate Asa

1:35:23

and banal and then you go in

1:35:25

the I it's how I feel about

1:35:27

coffee. I drink a lot of coffee

1:35:29

was invented for people that are like

1:35:31

looming and then I go working a

1:35:33

loom and then not not how confusing

1:35:35

is the guy in charge of the

1:35:37

loomers. He's over him. He's looming. No,

1:35:39

he's not. No, I mean he's like

1:35:41

leer never He's looming over the loomers.

1:35:43

He looms over the loomers. Who's the

1:35:45

guy who's watching the loomers? If you're

1:35:47

a supervisor of the room of people

1:35:49

looming. You are looming. Speaking of loomrooms.

1:35:51

You might be herending. You forget who

1:35:53

he is. It's worse than we thought.

1:35:55

If you're doing this voice with this

1:35:57

premise, you might just be Jerry Seinfeld.

1:36:00

Jerry. Me and Kumel used to do,

1:36:02

you did colleges coming up? I'm assuming,

1:36:05

no, no. Well, it won't be as

1:36:07

fun, but we used to do. I'm

1:36:09

aware. Jeff Foxworthy, you might have a

1:36:11

comedian on your campus, and we were

1:36:13

like, if you see a guy in

1:36:16

a rental car drinking a holiday in

1:36:18

express coffee, rolling down his window and

1:36:20

asking you where the student center is.

1:36:22

You just might have a comedian on

1:36:24

your campus. That's so good. I okay

1:36:27

I had an audition once you remember

1:36:29

You might have leapfrogged this because you

1:36:31

because on your show you were I

1:36:33

know you like sketches But how many

1:36:36

sketch show auditions did you have to

1:36:38

do I've never done a sketch see

1:36:40

because I think you leapfrogged it so

1:36:42

what I would I would get a

1:36:44

lot of them Because I was doing

1:36:47

a lot of sketch so I'd get

1:36:49

a lot of and so I'd have

1:36:51

to come in with my characters Oh,

1:36:53

and I had like my fucking characters

1:36:55

and then British Trump is a new

1:36:58

one British Trump would be great, but

1:37:00

I'm telling you it's it's a rarefied

1:37:02

bomb Yeah, like in a room doing

1:37:04

a sketch character and these people like

1:37:07

I hate sketch now and so you're

1:37:09

like at a room. You're it's everything's

1:37:11

it's not ever going well, but the

1:37:13

two best ones were okay so one

1:37:15

time it was for the blue-collar comedy

1:37:18

comedy sketch show and I came up

1:37:20

with John Foxworthy, Jeff Foxworthy's brother, and

1:37:22

he was just jealous of Jeff's career.

1:37:24

So his was all like, if you

1:37:26

refer to your mother's womb as a

1:37:29

one-hit wonder, you just might be John

1:37:31

Foxworthy. So I had a similar adjacent

1:37:33

one. And then this was the best

1:37:35

one. Wait, he's acknowledging that he's the

1:37:38

dead? Yes. His whole bit is how

1:37:40

Jeff Foxworthy's crushed it. And he's in

1:37:42

the shadow. Yeah, I thought it was

1:37:44

amazing. Like Roger Clinton. Like a Roger

1:37:46

Clinton. A Roger Clinton. Yeah, right. Yeah.

1:37:49

I was just Jeff Foxworthy's done everything.

1:37:51

John is depressed. Yes. And I had

1:37:53

like three. four of those and it

1:37:55

just bombed. But, well I love it.

1:37:57

Do you remember when David Hasselhoff ate

1:38:00

the burger off the floor? Yeah, of

1:38:02

course. Again, now we probably can't make

1:38:04

fun of it. But back then, oh.

1:38:06

Boy, can you imagine? We interneted. We

1:38:09

interneted hard. We had a good time.

1:38:11

We had a good time. We had

1:38:13

a good time with that. Put the

1:38:15

Baywatch theme under it. I was on

1:38:17

a, on Best Week ever at that

1:38:20

time, and that was just one of

1:38:22

the hilarious talking points. It was. Just

1:38:24

like, play the video of a man.

1:38:26

And being broken. A big problem. Where's

1:38:28

Bodie? Uh-oh! Some people eat in the

1:38:31

darkness. Yeah, it was like, I afraid

1:38:33

to choke on the next bite. I

1:38:35

just wanted to play. What's funny is

1:38:37

if you play this in slow motion,

1:38:40

it's actually quite sexy. Play it backwards

1:38:42

and he barfs up a burger. So

1:38:44

I went in and I, it had

1:38:46

just happened where he did that. So

1:38:48

I thought, all right, because I didn't

1:38:51

have a third, fourth character, whatever. So

1:38:53

I was like, all right, I'll just

1:38:55

do David Hauslawf eating a burger off

1:38:57

the floor intoxicated, you know, you know,

1:38:59

So I went and got a burger

1:39:02

and I brought a Wendy's cheeseburger because

1:39:04

that's what he was eating. And I

1:39:06

go in. It was. Wendy's was like,

1:39:08

we need to distance ourselves. We have

1:39:11

a little. We also have sober people

1:39:13

eat our burgers. So just so everyone

1:39:15

knows. I didn't know Wendy's was like

1:39:17

fallible. Like it seems like it's like

1:39:19

an eraser. Like it's like a, you

1:39:22

know how kids have like fun hamburger

1:39:24

erasers. That burger was so like cascading

1:39:26

like the. It was validating to the

1:39:28

tomato. It was. It was like, we

1:39:30

can chunk. We can chunk, and the

1:39:33

tomato is a separate entity. The whole

1:39:35

thing is, it's actually been constructed, believe

1:39:37

it or not. It can fall apart.

1:39:39

Separate plastic bags. So I get the

1:39:42

burger and I go in and I'm

1:39:44

like, I'll do this at last, because

1:39:46

I was like, it's like just happened.

1:39:48

So whatever, I do with my characters,

1:39:50

I'm bombing at the sketch audition. And

1:39:53

then I'm like, my last one's David

1:39:55

Hasselhoff. And I took my shirt off

1:39:57

like he did. And I got down

1:39:59

on the ground and like the camera

1:40:01

guy was like, this is highly unorthodox.

1:40:04

And he's putting the camera like towards

1:40:06

the ground. And then I was just

1:40:08

eating the burger off the ground. And

1:40:10

there were like two or three people

1:40:12

in the room and they're all just

1:40:15

like. And I was like, like we were

1:40:17

saying, this should be killing by now. Yeah.

1:40:19

And it wasn't. Now you're just a guy

1:40:21

eating a burger. Now I'm a man who

1:40:23

came into an audition with a casting director

1:40:25

who like kind of liked me. and I

1:40:28

ate a burger off of her casting floor.

1:40:30

And so I'm like eating, and I'm sticking

1:40:32

with it, I'm like, could get funny or

1:40:34

could get, it's bomb, two minutes of bombing.

1:40:36

And then one of them just goes, how

1:40:39

is that David Hasselhoff? And

1:40:41

I go, have you seen the video where

1:40:43

he eats the burger off the floor? And

1:40:45

they were like, well that, that's a

1:40:47

huge component in this working. All

1:40:49

right, let me just get the tomato

1:40:51

out of the rug. And I'll be

1:40:54

on my way! Like a lawyer

1:40:56

who bombed a case, putting papers

1:40:58

in a brief case. You become

1:41:00

John Lovett's, and I'll be on

1:41:02

my way. I apologize. I'm sorry.

1:41:05

It bombed. That's fantastic.

1:41:07

It was rare. I had the

1:41:09

first time I did stand up.

1:41:11

Gareth. Talked to me. So I

1:41:13

rent out the Lyceum restaurant

1:41:16

in Salem, Massachusetts,

1:41:18

and I invite. This is the

1:41:20

first time. Yeah. I invite 45

1:41:22

of my closest friends and family.

1:41:25

No, I'm sorry. May I? You

1:41:27

felt the confidence to rent

1:41:29

a room. I'm telling you, my

1:41:31

friend, I know. You headlined your

1:41:33

first show in front of people you

1:41:36

know. I did the thing that if

1:41:38

I had to perform for that

1:41:40

audience today, I would be petrified.

1:41:42

My parents are there. My

1:41:44

professors are there. Oh my

1:41:46

friend. Every face in the

1:41:48

audience is someone I know.

1:41:51

Congregating. How

1:41:53

old are you? Well,

1:41:56

I'm in college. I'm...

1:41:58

2021? 2021? Okay, so

1:42:00

you ran out a restaurant. I

1:42:03

ran out the top floor of

1:42:05

this restaurant. I've been there since.

1:42:07

It was crazy. Anyway, get the

1:42:09

mics. My friend Aaron, his dad,

1:42:11

Dave Bonner, gave me the equipment

1:42:13

for free. No opener. I was

1:42:15

just gonna ask, wow. No opener.

1:42:17

Who announces? My friend Mark Philian

1:42:19

goes up on stage. And we

1:42:22

don't know what the fuck we're

1:42:24

doing. Okay. Mark Phileen, he looks

1:42:26

like the princess bride, like the

1:42:28

dread prior Robert. He's got the

1:42:30

haircut like in Rudolph, the dentist,

1:42:32

he looks like that point. Mark

1:42:34

Phileen goes on stage and he

1:42:36

gets dead serious in the mic

1:42:39

and he goes, there are three

1:42:41

cameras positioned around the room. Those

1:42:43

are for Peter Holmes, for audition

1:42:45

purposes, for local comedy clubs. Please

1:42:47

do not obstruct the cameras. And

1:42:49

ladies and gentlemen, without further do

1:42:51

Peter, Peter Holmes. And I came

1:42:53

out, everyone goes nuts obviously, because

1:42:55

they're literally my dearest friends and

1:42:58

family. Can't believe I did this.

1:43:00

One of the bits that bombed.

1:43:02

Some bits did okay. Okay. You're

1:43:04

doing 45? I did about 45

1:43:06

minutes. And this is all just

1:43:08

pre-written memorized like a monologue. Memorized

1:43:10

like much much more memorized like

1:43:12

a monologue than I do now.

1:43:14

Yeah a lot of in the

1:43:17

mirror bedroom Yeah great question lot

1:43:19

in the mirror lot of you

1:43:21

know because translating the at home

1:43:23

cadence to the real there is

1:43:25

a and I don't even have

1:43:27

a cadence I don't even have

1:43:29

a voice but there's like a

1:43:31

there's some of like the actual

1:43:33

process leaves there's a lot of

1:43:36

holes when you're in front of

1:43:38

people versus when you're at home

1:43:40

and I don't even know yeah

1:43:42

it's like you're like you're You're

1:43:44

watching someone drive a stick shift

1:43:46

Bigfoot monster truck who's only seen

1:43:48

a video of a car And

1:43:50

I'm chunk and yeah Yeah, and

1:43:53

your dad's there. And my dad's

1:43:55

fucking there. And I did, I

1:43:57

remember my opener was like, I

1:43:59

was like, how I started this,

1:44:01

I don't know, but I was

1:44:03

like, I'm six foot six, which

1:44:05

is great, but it's hard to

1:44:07

do something like, I can't hide.

1:44:09

Like I thought, that was fine.

1:44:12

Pretty good. That was like my

1:44:14

strongest joke. That's good. But it

1:44:16

gets stupider from there. I was

1:44:18

like, 45. If someone comes in

1:44:20

and I did the. I'm gonna

1:44:22

kill everybody I can see that

1:44:24

was I did this joke for

1:44:26

years. Yeah, I was like what

1:44:28

am I gonna do I can

1:44:31

be like I'm a plan I'm

1:44:33

an exotic plant uh-huh then I

1:44:35

went I'm an erotic plant uh-huh

1:44:37

then I went I'm an erotic

1:44:39

plant I'm an erotic plant uh-huh

1:44:41

then I'm an erotic plant I'm

1:44:43

an erotic plant I'm an erotic

1:44:45

plant uh-huh I'm a erotic I'm

1:44:47

a erotic I could just stand

1:44:50

really I've heard this joke I've

1:44:52

heard this joke It got better

1:44:54

as I went, but that was

1:44:56

the first joke I did. And

1:44:58

then somewhere around minute 30, where

1:45:00

they're kind of realizing like, this

1:45:02

kid's reading his notebook, like he's

1:45:04

doing every thought he's ever had,

1:45:07

I don't remember much of it,

1:45:09

but I go, listen to this

1:45:11

premise, man, and feel old. Because

1:45:13

this is like, I was trying

1:45:15

to write what I knew. And

1:45:17

I go, you know when you

1:45:19

go to your friend's house and

1:45:21

you end up staying for dinner?

1:45:23

There's always kind of like a

1:45:26

pressure to that. This is how

1:45:28

I would say it. This is

1:45:30

not how I said it then.

1:45:32

It's almost like the mom is

1:45:34

auditioning for you. This is so

1:45:36

90s. It's like the mom. It's

1:45:38

like, what do you guys eat?

1:45:40

Like, impress us. But in the

1:45:42

status dynamic, I'm the guest, you

1:45:45

need to show me that you're

1:45:47

a good cook. Yes. It's very

1:45:49

like home improvement. It's like a

1:45:51

home improvement plot. So not didn't

1:45:53

age great, but it was the

1:45:55

idea that the mom. Your family

1:45:57

is like yeah, you are you're

1:45:59

a guest in their world and

1:46:01

you're gonna what? you like when

1:46:04

I'm not around. Exactly. Yeah. And

1:46:06

also there's kind of, if I

1:46:08

did the bit again, I would

1:46:10

have stepped this out and it's

1:46:12

like, and you know my mom

1:46:14

is gonna ask. Was Nancy a

1:46:16

good cook? Did she do a

1:46:18

good job? That's really what's going

1:46:20

on here, is I'm still so

1:46:23

my mother's son that we're gonna

1:46:25

gossip about the cooking at my

1:46:27

friend's house. This is all a

1:46:29

very shaky premise. Yes. It sucks.

1:46:31

Yeah. And I go, so I

1:46:33

always do this thing. It's kind

1:46:35

of Steve Martin. So I always

1:46:37

would just like put the mommities,

1:46:40

be like, look, nothing fancy. You

1:46:42

don't have to pull out all

1:46:44

the stops, just another normal night.

1:46:46

And as I'm saying, Ms. Gareth,

1:46:48

I'm in my back pocket for

1:46:50

my only prop, cheeseb. It's a

1:46:52

lobster bib. And I go, don't

1:46:54

worry. Nothing fancy, I put on

1:46:56

a lobster bib. As if that's...

1:46:59

The show-stopping prop comedy of the

1:47:01

day. There's I'll walk you through

1:47:03

my flag in a minute, but

1:47:05

I can't wait all I want

1:47:07

to tell you before I give

1:47:09

you the reins It got nothing

1:47:11

and then I'm wearing a lobster

1:47:13

bid bombing and I'm like all

1:47:15

right, and I like ripped it

1:47:18

off like you know like turret

1:47:20

as I was like planning on

1:47:22

reusing I got the lobster bid

1:47:24

from legal seafood and I was

1:47:26

like I worked a legal see

1:47:28

In Boston, I was a host.

1:47:30

It's funny and beautifully embarrassing. Yeah.

1:47:32

Here's, but I almost am walking

1:47:34

myself off my note because fancy,

1:47:37

high expectation in my head, I'm

1:47:39

like, well yeah, but Lobster Bib

1:47:41

says specifically seafood, but Lobster is

1:47:43

considered the affluent meal. Yeah. So

1:47:45

you're saying. I'm expecting lobster. Yeah,

1:47:47

that's I think that is very

1:47:49

funny. That should have gotten more.

1:47:51

But how fucking great is it

1:47:54

when something bombs and you have

1:47:56

to live with the prop? Like

1:47:58

you live with the prop. and you

1:48:00

have a lot like the burger on the ground like the burger

1:48:02

on the ground. If I was gonna do it I'd do it

1:48:04

kind of like Vince von now I'd be like I always tell

1:48:06

the mom you know like relax I'm just a normal guy just

1:48:08

normal night don't worry about it don't do anything fancy if you

1:48:11

do have some sort of sorbet in between courses I'd love to

1:48:13

clean my palate. In between courses I'd love to clean courses I'd

1:48:15

like to clean my palate my palate just the normal night don't

1:48:17

worry about it don't do anything fancy if you have some sort

1:48:19

of sorbay in between courses in between courses I'd between courses I'd

1:48:21

love I'd love. If you know I'd love. I'd like I'd like.

1:48:24

I'd like. I'd like. I'd like. I'd like. If you know. I'd

1:48:26

like. I'd like. I'd like. I'd like. I'd like. I'd like. I'd

1:48:28

like. I'd like. I'd like. I'd like. I'd like. I'd like The

1:48:30

lobster bib at least it's one in

1:48:32

two. I see that's tough. I feel

1:48:34

like that's good. What did you close

1:48:36

on in your 45? Great question. Couldn't

1:48:39

tell you. Did you use this tape

1:48:41

around town? I sent it to

1:48:43

the Comedy Connection in Providence, Rhode

1:48:45

Island. They gave me a three

1:48:47

minute guest spot based on the

1:48:49

tape. And then you went, did

1:48:51

you start going back? That's a

1:48:53

great club, by the way. They,

1:48:55

yeah, I hardened towards that club.

1:48:57

I bristled because I shouldn't. They

1:48:59

were nice and gave me a guest spot. But

1:49:02

then I went in the office, I've

1:49:04

told the story before, but I went

1:49:06

in the office and the manager who

1:49:08

didn't look up, she's like eating a

1:49:10

Caesar salad or something. She literally goes

1:49:12

call us in six months, but doesn't

1:49:14

say anything else. And I was like

1:49:16

yikes. But at that point I was

1:49:18

doing a lot of sneeze material. There's

1:49:20

new material. I had retired the hour.

1:49:23

I was doing a lot of sneeze

1:49:25

stuff back. The culture had leaned into

1:49:27

like an allergy direction. So I was

1:49:29

doing a lot of afferent sneezy stuff.

1:49:31

You know, big nose guy down the

1:49:33

street. What's big nose guy like at a

1:49:35

party. What's funny is doing the Coke. I

1:49:37

had done stand up again in... Sorry, what

1:49:40

you said deserved more. I did stand up

1:49:42

again in college and I did it again.

1:49:44

By the way. Sneeze. No. I did another

1:49:47

40 minutes of stand up. Rented a place?

1:49:49

Did it in the coffee shop. Now it's

1:49:51

everyone I go to school with you're just

1:49:53

it's insane it is it is it's insane

1:49:56

and I'm insane no I know it's insane.

1:49:58

It's insane. It's a little un Hinged.

1:50:00

It's well, it's it's like everyone

1:50:02

come I'm going to do stand

1:50:04

up and it is the place

1:50:06

was packed. See, that's the

1:50:08

being anonymous is very. Oh, I

1:50:10

know key for the beginning of stand

1:50:13

up. I know. And I was like,

1:50:15

no, everyone come watch. Come watch me

1:50:17

do my driver's test. It's crazy. Okay.

1:50:19

So I had an audio cassette

1:50:21

tape of that set. Okay. And

1:50:23

at one point. See, I didn't

1:50:25

know this. But at one point

1:50:27

they're warm. I kind of had gotten them

1:50:30

laughing. And I, in fact, I don't even

1:50:32

remember doing badly at either of these shows.

1:50:34

I had a good feeling about both of

1:50:36

them, which I'm sure it wasn't great.

1:50:38

Well, but I did this bit about

1:50:41

sneezing and about how some people hold

1:50:43

in their sneezes and all this sort

1:50:45

of stuff. But I was on a

1:50:48

roll. What had happened was I inadvertently

1:50:50

got on a roll. And now they're

1:50:52

laughing more than the bit deserves because

1:50:54

I had found a rhythm. And now

1:50:57

they're so happy. And the bit worked.

1:50:59

And I accidentally said, well, I said

1:51:01

thank you in the bit. But I

1:51:03

said thank you in the bit. But

1:51:06

I said thank you in the bit.

1:51:08

But it sounded like thank you in

1:51:10

the bit. But it sounded like, I'm

1:51:12

just going to out of no. in

1:51:15

a three-minute set be like some people

1:51:17

hold in their sneezes and I'm doing

1:51:19

it as the second time I've ever

1:51:21

done it to pure death call me

1:51:23

in six months she was right yeah okay

1:51:25

I get it I mean I do I think

1:51:27

like it is it is like it that's the

1:51:30

thing is that it's so so where did you

1:51:32

get your where did you start rolling with stand-up

1:51:34

was that in New York Chicago oh

1:51:36

was Chicago oh right right yeah and

1:51:39

that was when you started when you

1:51:41

started crushing crushing crushing Chicago

1:51:43

was the first place that I crushed, where

1:51:46

I was like, oh, okay, I'm gonna be

1:51:48

all right. And did you do any, did

1:51:50

any of that material from set one? Yeah,

1:51:52

I can't hide. Can't hide, right? Ritter, can't

1:51:54

hide. And then when I didn't sneeze

1:51:56

ever make it? Sneeze never again. Sneeze

1:51:58

never again. Sneeze got burned. Yeah, when

1:52:00

you get burned real bad. I can't

1:52:02

do it. Yeah, still talking about it.

1:52:05

I'm like, I still did the cheeseburger

1:52:07

off the floor stuff, but just never

1:52:09

caught fire. What was your first bit

1:52:11

that you did that you were like,

1:52:14

I have a bit? It was about

1:52:16

my dad always on the voicemail telling

1:52:18

me the time where I lived as

1:52:21

well. So he would always go. Like

1:52:23

he wasn't necessary for the time anyway,

1:52:25

the voicemail did it, but he'd go,

1:52:27

you know, he lived in Wisconsin and

1:52:30

I lived out here, so he'd go,

1:52:32

it's 1245 here, 1045 your time. And

1:52:34

I'd be like, and then I just,

1:52:37

so like that worked in its setup,

1:52:39

and then I started, you know, it's

1:52:41

like then he travels, you know, it's

1:52:43

Australia, it's 1115 here, it's a Wednesday

1:52:46

at 1 AM, you, you know, you

1:52:48

know, whatever. And then I go, and

1:52:50

then I was in a was in

1:52:53

a warm hole. So then at the

1:52:55

end he was in a wormhole and

1:52:57

then and so what happened was it

1:52:59

started with like a weird time and

1:53:02

then honestly This is like I took

1:53:04

Iowasca and then like as I was

1:53:06

done. I was like I'm gonna put

1:53:09

all of my experience into so so

1:53:11

then he's the big got updated with

1:53:13

your Iowa trip. So then he's then

1:53:15

he was in space for the end

1:53:18

and so he's like it's your dad

1:53:20

I'm quoting an intergalactic worm hole I

1:53:22

don't know what time it is. I'm

1:53:25

actually, I could see the face of

1:53:27

God and the stars right now and

1:53:29

he's bringing me closer and he's letting

1:53:31

me know everything is love. It's not

1:53:34

even man, woman, it just is and

1:53:36

everything's love and the connection between all

1:53:38

of us. There's no space between us.

1:53:41

It's completely invented. We're all one. If

1:53:43

we do all of this, one a.m.

1:53:45

Your time. Like I was like a

1:53:47

long run of that. But that was

1:53:50

over years, but that was over years,

1:53:52

but that was the first. That was

1:53:54

the first joke. That was the first

1:53:57

joke. Very very good. Yeah, I it's

1:53:59

funny that you say that I just

1:54:01

did Kedamine. A Kedamine sesh. Uh-huh. And

1:54:03

I kept going. It's beyond yes and

1:54:06

no. It's beyond one and zero. It's

1:54:08

this other thing. Very similar to your

1:54:10

bet. That's making me want to, did

1:54:13

we talk about your Iowa school last

1:54:15

time you were here? I don't know,

1:54:17

I don't think so either. When you

1:54:19

experienced that, just to give you a

1:54:22

launching off, it's like, you realize you're

1:54:24

looking at the whole thing. Well

1:54:27

Rupert's fire my favorite teacher would say

1:54:29

it's like we're wearing orange tinted glasses

1:54:31

because we see and experience everything through

1:54:34

the five senses So it's like we

1:54:36

see touch taste smell here, and isn't

1:54:38

it just a funny coincidence that our

1:54:40

universe is everything you can see touch

1:54:43

taste here? So it's sensing and perceiving

1:54:45

and thinking because that's what we do.

1:54:47

So it's like you can't see ultimate

1:54:49

reality like white snow through orange tinted

1:54:52

glasses You'll only see orange snow and

1:54:54

when I was in that Ketamine state

1:54:56

I was like Oh, it's like a

1:54:58

joke, like trying to take this into

1:55:01

the casing of five senses. And I,

1:55:03

because I even asked it at one

1:55:05

point. I was like, it's all one,

1:55:08

it's so love, I get it, I

1:55:10

get it. I go, can't I bring

1:55:12

it, can't I have this when I'm

1:55:14

like walking around? And it was like,

1:55:17

that's what it was like. It was

1:55:19

like, oh, there's like another sense. Like

1:55:21

it did feel to me like, holy

1:55:23

shit, there is another way. Oh, and

1:55:26

I completely relate to that. Like, I

1:55:28

do think it's like, that was really

1:55:30

what my first experience with it was,

1:55:32

was I was like, to your point

1:55:35

of five, it was like, oh, there's

1:55:37

like another sense. Like it did feel

1:55:39

to me like, holy shit, there is

1:55:41

another way of, it, I would, it

1:55:44

felt like part of my. mind worked

1:55:46

in a way that had never happened

1:55:48

before and nobody really prepped me for

1:55:50

it. Like everyone was like, it'll change

1:55:53

your life, but I didn't really have

1:55:55

any concept of what that actually meant.

1:55:57

Yeah. And then afterwards I was like...

1:56:00

It's almost like because I do

1:56:02

I still take I was good.

1:56:04

It's it's like we're saying with

1:56:06

new material You'll never see the

1:56:08

gains like that again that first

1:56:10

session the gains and how I

1:56:12

Perceived and existed after that huge

1:56:15

enormous Everything was different. I got

1:56:17

on a plane the next day

1:56:19

to go to my grandmother's funeral

1:56:21

And I was like I can't

1:56:23

imagine being at an event like

1:56:25

this and comforting my mother in

1:56:27

the way that I am now

1:56:29

without this There was like all

1:56:31

of a sudden it was like

1:56:33

I it was like the matrix

1:56:35

where he knows Kung Fu I

1:56:37

was like oh Yeah, I can

1:56:39

explain where I think my grandmother

1:56:41

is in a way that right

1:56:43

is not too spacy to my

1:56:45

mother, but is also comforting Wow

1:56:47

And then ever since then it's

1:56:49

like, it's just kind of like

1:56:51

reaffirming the stuff. But that first

1:56:53

one was just like an explosion

1:56:55

of... You didn't feel at all

1:56:57

like you could have warned me?

1:56:59

Because I've never like, I've never

1:57:01

done Iowaska. This Ketamine trip was

1:57:03

further out. But you can't even

1:57:05

grade these things by the way.

1:57:07

I came back and I said

1:57:09

to Val I was like, that

1:57:11

was the furthest out I've ever

1:57:13

been. And she's like, more than

1:57:15

five MEODMT. Right, like you can't

1:57:17

think about these things. Like you

1:57:19

can think about your breakfast. No,

1:57:22

even when I'll go, you know,

1:57:24

even when like you'll do any

1:57:26

hallucination, like you cannot kind of

1:57:28

get your brain into that headspace

1:57:30

until it actually goes there again.

1:57:32

And then when it comes back.

1:57:34

Yeah, then it's so. You don't

1:57:36

have it anymore. Now you've turned

1:57:38

it into a story. And it's

1:57:40

worse than a dream. It's even

1:57:42

harder to describe than a dream.

1:57:44

And I always say this to

1:57:46

Valle, I go, just tell Pete,

1:57:48

I always talk so far out,

1:57:50

I'm like, tell Pete, he's been

1:57:52

there, and that it's okay. Like

1:57:54

you have to be like, tell

1:57:56

him just, it wants him to

1:57:58

relax, and that everything's okay, because

1:58:00

I know I'm gonna forget. Like,

1:58:02

it is, at the end of

1:58:04

the day, there's a lot of

1:58:06

stuff, and there's a lot about

1:58:08

how you interact with others and

1:58:10

everyone. But also, there was just

1:58:12

a real sense of calming comfort

1:58:14

of, like, chill out a little.

1:58:16

Like, I think I really was,

1:58:18

I don't even think I was

1:58:20

out of my mind stressed, but

1:58:22

I think after it, I was

1:58:24

like, whoa, you need to really.

1:58:27

Take it down a notch with

1:58:29

what's getting involved in your brain.

1:58:31

Well, one of the things that

1:58:33

happened I was with another person

1:58:35

that was also doing it and

1:58:37

and at one point We were

1:58:39

just kind of like holding each

1:58:41

other. It was very beautiful really

1:58:43

really beautiful. I know that sounds

1:58:45

kind of weird to Earth Pete

1:58:47

even Earth Pete's like I'm not

1:58:49

really like snuggling my friends. Yeah,

1:58:51

but it made the most sense

1:58:53

in the world. Yeah, we completely

1:58:55

merged we completely merged and then

1:58:57

I was talking to him But

1:58:59

I was talking to myself because

1:59:01

I was just like, I just

1:59:03

knew we were having the same

1:59:05

experience. And the things I was

1:59:07

saying, what a privilege to have

1:59:09

lived a life where I got

1:59:11

to tell my friend these wonderful

1:59:13

things, and also talking to myself,

1:59:15

but it was a lot of

1:59:17

like, you can trust it, you

1:59:19

can trust it. And I knew

1:59:21

he knew what I meant. What

1:59:23

we were talking about was the

1:59:25

fundamental essence of reality. trustable and

1:59:27

he's just crying and I'm crying

1:59:29

and I'm like you can trust

1:59:32

you can trust you can trust

1:59:34

then we're laughing laughing at how

1:59:36

serious we are and stressed and

1:59:38

afraid and confused we are it

1:59:40

was really really and I also

1:59:42

kept saying we draw the lines

1:59:44

to your joke I was like

1:59:46

we draw the lines like we're

1:59:48

the ones that go yeah yeah

1:59:50

right Pete yeah and and and

1:59:52

then we would go my friend's

1:59:54

name is Sam I would go

1:59:56

I'm Pete and he'd and he'd

1:59:58

go I'm Sam. But when you're

2:00:00

in the field within which everything

2:00:02

exists, like a TV screen, everything

2:00:04

on the TV screen is made

2:00:06

out of these pixels, and when

2:00:08

you're in the field of consciousness

2:00:10

and everything, every sound, every feeling,

2:00:12

every... site is made of the

2:00:14

knowing of it. I hear my

2:00:16

voice in that, then I hear

2:00:18

his voice. The idea that we're

2:00:20

saying those are two different things

2:00:22

is the funniest joke you could

2:00:24

tell someone. Does that make sense?

2:00:26

Complete. I think that's where the

2:00:28

relief of existence came for me.

2:00:30

Like, because I was like, yeah,

2:00:32

you know, there is like, yeah,

2:00:34

it's all, it is. It all

2:00:37

feels very real, very important, very,

2:00:39

the stakes, but by the same

2:00:41

token, it's important to recognize that

2:00:43

it, I never had, I truly

2:00:45

went into it being a full

2:00:47

atheist. You know, and I didn't

2:00:49

think I would like, again, I'm

2:00:51

not like, there's no, I have

2:00:53

no organized position to my thoughts.

2:00:55

But after that, I was like,

2:00:57

well, there goes that. I mean,

2:00:59

holy shit, I was like, fuck,

2:01:01

I don't know what's going on,

2:01:03

and I probably won't ever fully

2:01:05

grasp it. But I don't think

2:01:07

that the stakes of everything felt

2:01:09

so high to me every day.

2:01:11

And so career oriented. And then

2:01:13

it was like, oh, you know

2:01:15

what? It's actually, there is an

2:01:17

interconnectivity that is so meaningful. And

2:01:19

you know what else? I watched

2:01:21

Monty Python the Meaning of life.

2:01:23

maybe two years after it. And

2:01:25

at the end, Michael Palin just

2:01:27

reads off the meaning of life

2:01:29

very flippantly. And I was like,

2:01:31

well, that's pretty much it. Yeah,

2:01:33

it was just kind of just

2:01:35

like, be cool, love everyone and

2:01:37

love every support and be. And

2:01:39

I was sort of like, well,

2:01:42

that's pretty much what I think

2:01:44

is like the idea of, and

2:01:46

I even notice it. Still, when

2:01:48

you just even in passing try

2:01:50

to have a, I mean, you

2:01:52

and I. you more than me,

2:01:54

but anybody who has people who

2:01:56

like what they do, you get

2:01:58

a very heightened version of appreciation

2:02:00

at times. And the way that

2:02:02

you can either not care about

2:02:04

that or actually genuinely care about

2:02:06

it and exchange appreciation in those

2:02:08

moments is really I think is

2:02:10

so important and it's so easy

2:02:12

to probably forget that but I

2:02:14

feel in like those times and

2:02:16

in that way like I genuinely

2:02:18

do go like that I you

2:02:20

know it doesn't fly through me

2:02:22

ever I'm always like that means

2:02:24

a lot yeah that actually has

2:02:26

real meaning to me and yeah

2:02:28

and I think like you know

2:02:30

that when you have when you're

2:02:32

fucking whatever you're doing has meaning

2:02:34

to someone or when what someone

2:02:36

does has meaning to you when

2:02:38

they tell you they appreciate it

2:02:40

or when you do appreciate it

2:02:42

that really is like what makes

2:02:44

all of this so kind of

2:02:46

valuable in a way right I

2:02:49

had that in my trip just

2:02:51

whatever it was two nights ago

2:02:53

where it was like it's all

2:02:55

one right so let's just start

2:02:57

with the idea that it's just

2:02:59

one consciousness and then it split

2:03:01

and then it one of the

2:03:03

parts did something to the other

2:03:05

part that the other part liked

2:03:07

like it created this theater and

2:03:09

I was like that's incredible yeah

2:03:11

like it for its own pleasure

2:03:13

wanted to like overflow and spill

2:03:15

and split into billions and billions

2:03:17

of things and then goes around

2:03:19

in engaging with itself yeah and

2:03:21

believing it because I was laughing

2:03:23

I was like I told my

2:03:25

friend I was like you're okay.

2:03:27

And I go, if it's at

2:03:29

all meaningful for equals to think

2:03:31

the other is okay. Like I

2:03:33

was like. It doesn't make any

2:03:35

sense. Like it's all the same

2:03:37

thing. It's all an octopus with

2:03:39

puppets. Yes. And one puppet is

2:03:41

going, you're okay. Yeah. But the

2:03:43

theater and the majesty that it

2:03:45

does work, that this one goes,

2:03:47

really? That's a miracle. It's a,

2:03:49

what a great little game to

2:03:51

play, giving and exchanging love and

2:03:54

giving fire. You're like, it's working.

2:03:56

I had this image where I

2:03:58

was like. Everyone should win an

2:04:00

Oscar for being them. It's a

2:04:02

long ceremony. It's a long... But

2:04:04

I was like, even your enemy,

2:04:06

take someone you don't like, they

2:04:08

could give a speech where they

2:04:10

were like, so convincingly your enemy,

2:04:12

that you're like, they played that

2:04:14

part perfectly. And you're playing Gareth

2:04:16

perfectly. The word was flawless. I

2:04:18

was like, I think that is

2:04:20

like, you know, I mean, I

2:04:22

would imagine, I think that is

2:04:24

why like, when I try to.

2:04:26

I would never be like do

2:04:28

something that you don't feel like

2:04:30

doing but that is and maybe

2:04:32

where even people listening or watching

2:04:34

would be like wait what's going

2:04:36

like I am like I can't

2:04:38

imagine having lived a life without

2:04:40

trying something like that because I

2:04:42

think to that point it also

2:04:44

is what makes you view the

2:04:46

struggles of people in the world

2:04:48

or when you meet someone who

2:04:50

has a much harder existence or

2:04:52

a struggle you do go fuck

2:04:54

you want to like Help

2:04:57

in some past yeah, because it is

2:04:59

you are like we are combined in

2:05:01

whatever way and These little tethers that

2:05:03

maybe we don't see but are so

2:05:06

the day after we had friends coming

2:05:08

over and I was to each one

2:05:10

of them I was like I'm so

2:05:12

glad you're here and I really meant

2:05:14

it. I was and how how how

2:05:17

did they take they were fine with

2:05:19

yeah, but they're fine with it less

2:05:21

than going like oh Pete. What's with

2:05:23

you? You know, like cool. That's awesome

2:05:25

Peter It was in a normal way.

2:05:28

I didn't do it in like a

2:05:30

vacant heavy way. Did you put a

2:05:32

lobster bibbon before you did it? I

2:05:34

was like, I'm so glad you here.

2:05:36

And then I licked my lips as

2:05:39

if I was hallucinating that they were

2:05:41

a lobster. Yeah. And they looked over

2:05:43

there was a giant vat of butter.

2:05:45

And I was like, so glad you're

2:05:47

here. But it's those little niceties that

2:05:50

you're like. negotiate this for me? Yeah,

2:05:52

it just, I mean I really do,

2:05:54

I remember like, like I said the

2:05:56

day after I went to the airport

2:05:58

and got on a flight and I

2:06:01

was like, first of all I was

2:06:03

watching how much everyone was on their

2:06:05

phones and I was like this is

2:06:07

fucking weird yeah that great and then

2:06:09

I was also like yesterday it took

2:06:12

me like 20 minutes to go to

2:06:14

space and today it's taking me nine

2:06:16

hours to get to England and I

2:06:18

was like this is it's bizarre and

2:06:20

it really was like it did feel

2:06:23

so much more I don't know I

2:06:25

was just kind of like the shell

2:06:27

is what the shell is the magic

2:06:29

shell yeah oh that's funny because one

2:06:31

of my experience is going to lobster

2:06:34

is my favorite Like simple is because

2:06:36

I'm like, oh, we are all just

2:06:38

in a lobster shell. But there's something

2:06:40

and that's something we share with everybody.

2:06:42

There's only one of those. Yeah. You

2:06:45

could also say bird talker has that

2:06:47

lyric about we're one wind and different

2:06:49

sailboats, but it's just one animating. That's

2:06:51

a really good way. You could also

2:06:53

say it's one knowing. That gets a

2:06:56

little, you know, a little more philosophical.

2:06:58

Just call it knowing or being. Yeah.

2:07:00

I had a real moment where I

2:07:02

was like, whoa, because when I came

2:07:04

back, I went into my first K-hole,

2:07:07

I guess, as I would call it.

2:07:09

I had never been in a K-hole,

2:07:11

and 10 out of 10 would recommend,

2:07:13

because if you're not, if you're resourced,

2:07:15

and not with good people, and right

2:07:18

setting, and all of that, and you

2:07:20

go into a place. Val was laughing

2:07:22

at me, I was like, it was

2:07:24

the stillest thing I've ever seen in

2:07:26

my life. And even as I say

2:07:29

this, now it's kind of emotional. It

2:07:31

was like you're watching a movie, like

2:07:33

on eight millimeter, like, and then all

2:07:35

of a sudden in front of the

2:07:37

projector, someone just puts a piece of

2:07:40

thick black poster board. So instead of

2:07:42

like frames, it's everything just stops, and

2:07:44

you're looking at the stillest black poster

2:07:46

board. It just... None of this is

2:07:48

going to make much sense. But I

2:07:51

was like, and everything went away. Time,

2:07:53

space, and I was just like looking

2:07:55

at this, but I wasn't even there,

2:07:57

and I was like... And I was

2:07:59

like, yes to it. And as soon

2:08:02

as I came out of it, I

2:08:04

just went with it. That's another thing

2:08:06

these things want you to know is

2:08:08

like, just like naked on the Titanic,

2:08:10

just being like, yes! It's like scream

2:08:13

yes at everything. And not just the

2:08:15

experience, but here. And I was like,

2:08:17

yes to it. And as soon as

2:08:19

I came out, I was like, I

2:08:21

see why they call it a hole.

2:08:24

It really feels like you're in out

2:08:26

of space sucked in and. Again, I

2:08:28

know this is going to sound a

2:08:30

little nuts, but I was like, you've

2:08:32

never seen stillness. I guess you could

2:08:35

call it a void. Yeah. But it

2:08:37

wasn't frightening because I still was. Like,

2:08:39

I was. Yeah, right. And the void

2:08:41

was me. And it was, and that's

2:08:43

why I kept going, you can trust

2:08:46

it. You can trust it. I was

2:08:48

like, I'm going to take you as

2:08:50

far from home as you can go

2:08:52

and you're going to realize that you

2:08:54

are your home. I completely like that's

2:08:57

why like I When people talk about

2:08:59

Iowa school, they're like, you shit your

2:09:01

pants. And I'm like, that to me,

2:09:03

I don't know who put that into

2:09:05

like, but I'm like, that's a corporate

2:09:08

talking point. Like, they're saying that so

2:09:10

you don't go take it. But even,

2:09:12

and I've been in ceremonies and there

2:09:14

has been in ceremonies and there has

2:09:16

been a guy or two who shit

2:09:19

their pants. Yeah. But you don't have

2:09:21

a body, let alone paint. So you

2:09:23

could care less if you shit your

2:09:25

pants if you shit your pants. There

2:09:27

was no me. Like the idea of

2:09:30

me. A body being an issue is

2:09:32

not an issue. That's so fucking funny.

2:09:34

So the reason Monty Python, I was

2:09:36

trying to describe it. You know how

2:09:38

Monty Python would occasionally use like an

2:09:41

animation style? Like Terry Gilliam. Yes. Where

2:09:43

something is clearly like paper? Yeah. Or

2:09:45

the intro to you can't do that

2:09:47

on television. And then they cut it

2:09:49

open. And I was like that. Shunk.

2:09:52

Something that's not a cartoon and is

2:09:54

not a movie. It's not a movie.

2:09:56

It's just. And I was there. But

2:09:58

here's the trip, man. People

2:10:00

were like, like, do you see

2:10:02

things on ketamine? And I was

2:10:04

like, you see that you're always,

2:10:06

right now we're seeing something. Yeah.

2:10:08

And that's fucking insane. That's halluc,

2:10:10

almost like we feel like we're

2:10:12

hallucinating right now. You are hallucinating

2:10:15

right now. I would, the way

2:10:17

that I would phrase it, and

2:10:19

I got this from Rupert Spara

2:10:21

is, there's one consciousness and it's

2:10:23

momentarily abstract. And that's what these

2:10:25

substances show you is it shows

2:10:27

you To make it some semi

2:10:29

religious. It's like you can make

2:10:31

your head in the make your

2:10:33

bed in the heavens and I

2:10:35

you are there meaning God You

2:10:37

could make your bed in the

2:10:39

depths and you are there meaning

2:10:41

you can't go somewhere without I

2:10:43

am and I am is the

2:10:45

great thing Yeah, and the I

2:10:47

am can be outer space or

2:10:49

it can be me here talking

2:10:51

putting on shoes taking a shit

2:10:53

You've never been apart from it.

2:10:55

And that's why they say the

2:10:57

great mystery is the most obvious

2:10:59

of all things and it's also

2:11:01

the most secret of all things.

2:11:03

Because when you have these like

2:11:05

substances or awakening experiences, you just

2:11:07

go, where could I go that

2:11:09

isn't? To use Rupert Spire's analogy,

2:11:11

where could we go that isn't

2:11:13

on the screen? Where could something

2:11:15

in a movie go that isn't

2:11:17

on the screen? And waiting for

2:11:19

Enlightenment is like waiting for something

2:11:21

amazing to happen in the movie?

2:11:23

Like, oh, I'll be enlightened once

2:11:25

I see a movie where a

2:11:27

guy's like flying? Yeah. All you

2:11:29

need to do is recognize the

2:11:31

screen. That's, as you go, I'm

2:11:34

on a screen, and the screen

2:11:36

is consciousness. Yeah. I think that,

2:11:38

I mean, I, again, it's like,

2:11:40

it's like, it is... There are

2:11:42

like there are hints of it

2:11:44

and things you read about or

2:11:46

listen to Before you you know

2:11:48

delve into any like I wouldn't

2:11:50

say psychic anything that puts you

2:11:52

under and kind of Does a

2:11:54

little third eye opening but that

2:11:56

that to me was like was

2:11:58

really it it was like It

2:12:00

did. It felt, it wasn't even

2:12:02

that life felt lonely, but once

2:12:04

I felt like, you know, you are

2:12:06

just one piece in a puzzle,

2:12:09

you were like, oh, okay. That,

2:12:11

that, like that took me from

2:12:13

feeling like a fully inflated balloon

2:12:16

walking around that was afraid of

2:12:18

a needle to being like a

2:12:20

quarter filled balloon that was just

2:12:23

like, I don't give a shit.

2:12:25

That's beautiful. Because you had the

2:12:27

interconnected jigsaw thing. Half as

2:12:29

important at most really yeah,

2:12:32

including like what well? I mean

2:12:34

honestly like career I mean I

2:12:36

really do think that like so much

2:12:38

of my focus was on that The

2:12:41

people I loved that had more meaning

2:12:43

to it, but I loved everybody more

2:12:45

but my I guess Animas towards the

2:12:47

machine of Hollywood or career that

2:12:50

I was like always felt so

2:12:52

frustrated by not being able to

2:12:54

get a footing in it i

2:12:56

started kind of and i think

2:12:59

it has helped with my career

2:13:01

now because it made me go i don't

2:13:03

give as much of a shit i mean i

2:13:05

i you know like even in my uh... version

2:13:07

of whatever this is that's

2:13:09

what i mean it's like the

2:13:11

I still get a level of

2:13:13

appreciation for what I do from

2:13:15

people in a way that has

2:13:18

so much value to me, that

2:13:20

if that is what it is,

2:13:22

that's plenty. Like the idea of

2:13:24

greed, like, I do think, it's

2:13:26

funny because I thought about

2:13:28

when I, you are so... Nice in the way

2:13:31

that like I'll see you sometimes and you'll

2:13:33

be like oh you've been gone forever I'm

2:13:35

so sorry I don't and I'm like that

2:13:37

to me is not an insult like I

2:13:39

never want to imply that you're touring too

2:13:42

much or you're not or that or that

2:13:44

whatever I mean I but I think that

2:13:46

that is the reality and I have

2:13:48

no issue with the reality being like

2:13:50

I'm gone all the fucking time because

2:13:52

I am grinding out whatever this is

2:13:55

but the recognition of there's so much

2:13:57

good that comes out from that even when

2:13:59

you do get Because the truth is

2:14:01

it never leaves you you don't

2:14:03

even know I'll be behind someone

2:14:06

at the store and be like

2:14:08

Jesus Christ It's not like oh,

2:14:10

that's done. I'm always happy now

2:14:12

and I really appreciate that person

2:14:14

because it's just skin that

2:14:17

just got separated. It's an

2:14:19

illusion I am like buddy. That's

2:14:21

15 items. This is 10 or

2:14:23

less but you do value it It's

2:14:25

I don't think I wonder why the

2:14:27

people who have so much stress about

2:14:29

it more than anyone and then I

2:14:32

go well my version of it is

2:14:34

you know this middling spot where I'm

2:14:36

very happy with it and very appreciative

2:14:38

and the idea of getting wound up

2:14:40

or caught up in all of that is

2:14:43

the ego which the more I do this

2:14:45

stuff is really the thing you're trying to

2:14:47

just kind of release yourself of

2:14:49

as much as humanly possible. I

2:14:52

totally hear all of that yeah and

2:14:54

it doesn't luckily I have good friends

2:14:56

like Mike Brabiglia that are like Pete,

2:14:58

like if you go, a good one

2:15:00

would be, oh this person does bigger

2:15:02

venues. Yes. And makes more money.

2:15:04

Yes. That's really what you're saying. Yes.

2:15:06

It seems like less work. Less work

2:15:09

and more money. Yeah. And then Mike,

2:15:11

and I'm so grateful to have friends

2:15:13

like this, he's like, Pete, you tour

2:15:15

and people come out and see you

2:15:17

and laugh and you're and you're good

2:15:19

at it. Yeah. Like you have nothing

2:15:22

to ever complain about. I appreciate that.

2:15:24

I wouldn't even say I'd do that

2:15:26

for him, but I would if he,

2:15:28

like good friends like that, that you're

2:15:30

talking about. He could do that for

2:15:32

someone else, and I can do that

2:15:34

for you, and someone else does that

2:15:36

for me. I mean, it is, it

2:15:39

is endless. I mean, and you know,

2:15:41

the people who you meet who opened

2:15:43

for you, they are on, it's truly

2:15:45

like what makes this business so bizarre,

2:15:47

is that it's kind of like...

2:15:50

ultimate ego gladiator. And

2:15:52

so you have to like

2:15:54

to say in this line

2:15:56

of work I want to

2:15:58

like have my ego and check

2:16:00

is really kind of like the

2:16:02

strangest version of it. What's like

2:16:05

Coca-Cola is saying I want to

2:16:07

have my sugar, I don't want

2:16:09

to do too much sugar. Yeah,

2:16:11

right. And you are Coca-Cola. But

2:16:13

I actually think that paradox, and

2:16:15

I could be deluding myself, I've

2:16:17

chosen perhaps to believe that my

2:16:19

job being my ego has helped

2:16:21

me understand where it is, maybe

2:16:23

I'm full of shit, but I'm

2:16:25

like there it is and I

2:16:27

know what it wants and I

2:16:29

know what it does. I'm trying

2:16:31

to do a bit where I'm

2:16:33

like, don't even ask what I

2:16:35

think. It's so boring. It's like,

2:16:37

what's in it for me? Like,

2:16:39

will it make me comfortable and

2:16:41

happy? Will it make me jizz?

2:16:43

Like it's such a snooze. I'm

2:16:45

interested in other things. Yeah, right.

2:16:47

Let's not talk to the monkey.

2:16:49

Yeah, right. About how the monkey's

2:16:51

doing. Or what the monkey thought

2:16:53

of that movie. Yeah, right. Who

2:16:55

fucking cares? Because once you've tasted

2:16:57

these. higher altitudes you're just sort

2:16:59

of like I'd rather like when

2:17:01

I was on cadmium we were

2:17:03

talking about my parents I was

2:17:05

like I talk about the stuff

2:17:07

all the time yeah let's go

2:17:09

to the blue planet yeah let's

2:17:11

go out of space so we're

2:17:13

almost we're past two hours it's

2:17:16

fine just in respect for your

2:17:18

time can you give me a

2:17:20

taste of and you have but

2:17:22

I don't want to leave any

2:17:24

stone unturned here something that you

2:17:26

took away especially from that first

2:17:28

ayahuasca Was there like a deathless

2:17:30

revelation? Was there like a just

2:17:32

I mean I felt like Honestly

2:17:34

it that first time was just

2:17:36

I think I was Just getting

2:17:38

my bearings of like holy fuck

2:17:40

like I felt I felt a

2:17:42

I felt a third-eye connection to

2:17:44

a place that I didn't know

2:17:46

existed and then the second time

2:17:48

saw a place I just was

2:17:50

I felt like I was having

2:17:52

a communication with something so far

2:17:54

outside of myself that was willing

2:17:56

to scoff at my questions. and

2:17:58

answer ones I didn't even know

2:18:00

I wanted to ask. Like I

2:18:02

went in there going like, do

2:18:04

I smoke too many cigarettes? You

2:18:06

know, and it was like, yep,

2:18:08

that's crazy, don't smoke. Anyway, how

2:18:10

about like, it was kind of

2:18:12

like that. And so the second

2:18:14

time I went in a little

2:18:16

more prepped to try to have

2:18:18

some of these questions answered. And

2:18:20

again, the agenda was what was

2:18:22

so funny during the session, because

2:18:25

it's like, yeah, it's not a

2:18:27

fucking presser. it just and again

2:18:29

i think this is why there

2:18:31

is why these things are so

2:18:33

synonymous with the word love is

2:18:35

because that was really the only

2:18:37

thing i kept thinking of was

2:18:39

love providing love feeling sad for

2:18:41

people who weren't loved and recognizing

2:18:43

that people are the way they

2:18:45

are because of the way they

2:18:47

were loved or the way they

2:18:49

don't know how to love and

2:18:51

how really at the end of

2:18:53

the day, even being pleasant is

2:18:55

an extension of love and you

2:18:57

never know who needs it, who's

2:18:59

asking for it or anything, but

2:19:01

deep down it is fully, you

2:19:03

know, the thing that makes, it

2:19:05

brings people the comfort that makes

2:19:07

being a human okay. Off of

2:19:09

that, so I do parts work,

2:19:11

therapy, internal family systems and... Let's

2:19:13

say I find a part of

2:19:15

me that's real gruff. It just

2:19:17

means an aspect of my psyche.

2:19:19

That's really afraid and angry or

2:19:21

it might seem ugly to me

2:19:23

or vicious. And every time it's

2:19:25

a shock and a surprise and

2:19:27

a delight that all it wants,

2:19:29

just like every person, is someone

2:19:31

to say, thank you. I see

2:19:33

what you're doing. You're doing a

2:19:36

good job. Thank you for your

2:19:38

help. And can I help you?

2:19:40

And I love you, basically. Every

2:19:42

time. Every time. I'll find the

2:19:44

pricklyest protector. And I'm like, well,

2:19:46

there's no getting to this guy.

2:19:48

And all you have to do

2:19:50

is be like, I see you.

2:19:52

I honor you. You know. and

2:19:54

I had I had and then

2:19:56

I'm not trying to give you

2:19:58

like a fucking whatever I had

2:20:00

a fucking stalker for a while

2:20:02

and it was the worst so

2:20:04

fucking stressful it was like just

2:20:06

debilitating in every way you know

2:20:08

and um and then as it

2:20:10

sort of had slowed down I

2:20:12

felt ready to go take Iowask

2:20:14

again right so as I'm doing

2:20:16

it It's not hitting me the

2:20:18

same way. Like, you know, I

2:20:20

mean, it's very much like drink,

2:20:22

wait, see, like nobody's going like,

2:20:24

do another shot. Like, it was

2:20:26

like, drink it, see, and I

2:20:28

was dosing myself and going, like,

2:20:30

nothing's happening. And then the person

2:20:32

I work with was recognizing there

2:20:34

was like a block in me

2:20:36

while I was doing it, which

2:20:38

was very validating and like being

2:20:40

with this person, right? So this

2:20:42

person then, in whatever way, I'm

2:20:44

about to throw up. like them

2:20:47

kind of explaining to me what

2:20:49

was going on and when I

2:20:51

threw up it felt like I

2:20:53

threw up that dark experience that

2:20:55

had been kind of rotting me

2:20:57

inside and out through you know

2:20:59

the actions of an outsider but

2:21:01

as well as how I how

2:21:03

I was coping with it like

2:21:05

physically what it was doing to

2:21:07

me literally felt like it came

2:21:09

out of me then I laid

2:21:11

down then it all started to

2:21:13

take effect and then it was

2:21:15

like while I That what this

2:21:17

person did to me was so

2:21:19

horrendous and so unnecessary and unmotivated

2:21:21

and inexcusable I was like I

2:21:23

do feel bad for this person

2:21:25

this person this is something this

2:21:27

person is going through that a

2:21:29

love or lack of it. Yeah

2:21:31

and they are working out something

2:21:33

that was deficient it's being taken

2:21:35

out on me but but it

2:21:37

went from like a deep hatred

2:21:39

which you know again it's like

2:21:41

you can Bat in that hatch

2:21:43

for as much as you try

2:21:45

to it still exists, but I

2:21:47

was like you are you are

2:21:49

coping And whether you're taking it

2:21:51

but and I never would have

2:21:53

thought that's what I mean to

2:21:55

these thank you for sharing that

2:21:58

because that's exactly what I'm saying

2:22:00

is you want you have to

2:22:02

go into these parts and be

2:22:04

2:22:06

doing? Yeah, and then you're like

2:22:08

that doesn't get you anywhere. Yeah,

2:22:10

2:22:12

2:23:55

loves people and I've watched I've

2:23:57

gotten dispense and spent some time

2:23:59

with him. And I've said this a

2:24:01

million times, but all he does is

2:24:04

honor people and reflects them back to

2:24:06

themselves in a very Iowask, a very

2:24:08

catamine way. And it's so simple.
