Maybe what Jersey transcend a man yeah, the doktor China the other, the professor rather from China, who was calling them are too lax, artificial intelligence, is afforded them as art elects, and he was saying that if it were to happen, if if it does happen, like essentially you're talking about a grain of sand that has more computing power than a computer. And created on earth and an entire b

You have no idea that now the risk of something serious, a dangerously seventy five years of timeframe, ten years, that, yes, the risk of something seriously dangerous happening, isn't a five year timeframe, ten years at most, but that's not true.

You know like corollas, I all of us like pod from this she feared ideas Duncan tribesmen go down the line of so many people that are doing podcast. Now, it's almost more are than are rare, billboard his rare when you meet a guy, does no podcast, I know and I have met you know. It's really funny. I met I mean I never get. I never get arrogant about our podcast, but one minute were: Gregg groups was flanks, we're on a plane to affect, maybe with this emphasis Viscount sketch out of us or something, and he was a joke. Murray boomers
and, and I met him and others like oh hey, yells, and if you ever want to come back here. Some time is like. Oh, you got a package to her like sort of like, and I was like. Well, it's a pretty do and pretty well, like I kind of like always got about jazz, no way. No, he was right to others, you're, damn right, but I remember when I would tell people had a pod cast they'll go. Why? Yes, pathetic? What are you? What are you doing like guides fun and we start doing it on use dream. It was me and my friend, Brian we just sat and from computer Brian Redman, is on a show all the time we sat in front of my laptop and my living room and just answered questions on twitter just fucking around. It was completely non planned. It wasn't like. I think I need a podcast. It was I just move to allay from Colorado aspirin.
Now that we have to move back to allay my wife got pregnant and we in the mountains, and it was this way too highly nation and we have to go, sea level, and so I was love in the mountains was like so peaceful was such a total, complete, polar opposite of like being from large, lives in cities and all the stuff that owes you soon as don't stand up as like when it be great. If I could live in like the mountains and then go down, So I thought I had it wired scenarios and I'm back in alarm like she is so I started doing this podcasting just fucking around and it was like. Are we didn't one week like? I was fun we'll do it next Monday? guys Monday, so than we did it. Next Monday and then We did it like a couple weeks later that we start putting up on Itunes than before. You know what it was like this weekly thing that is taken over life outside of big studio. Its task will be dedicated to it. Doing what were interesting. We order build out the structure. It was just office. It's it's. An office party like
it's just a regular outside of the house, the gear I had it in my house for a while for a while, and then we did it. The ice house for a while, but I wanted to closer to my house. So now I just I rent this big office. Space is essentially its huge A warehouse and Gunnar was other jazz to it and has built a studio inside of it made a kind of funky. Do we want to do with it, but it's now it I go to work now. It's my job spots where you put out a week depend sometimes only too sometimes as many as five no more than five or thank you think this the most of our put out. If you went up to accept Doesn't five days work? We can ensure that this kind of, like a girl, a does like five, oh dear, yes, I'm whatever he does is ridiculous. That meant a lot and many catch him. Contrary There's on Saturday needs to stand or do law at least live podcast. Like other factors, you have time to do all that shit. That's all he does it does that men like jerks I've got a car like that, like
caring for enemies that work it is allowed where'd you get that time is to raise, is pretty crazy. Doesn't sandwiched I do know is that a great life or that lake it is worth doing morning, radio, before that, that's a tat morning, relish urban life, that's terrible In writing. I was very thirty. Every morning and you're just your ear, your schedule is opposite everyone else in the world and you're just tired all the time here under such pressure, when you're doing radio to you now just did did just saw the corporate pressed. One issue that has moved to New York and on DR time delay. That way you can a bit like nine right now that smart, guys always account you like, has noted all himself in any way about an idea about, or is it will not on this continent rounders, but also like the method of distribution like you could just cannot just put it out anyway. You want now, like my our shows, on
de jure. It's on you to use dream vimium. I tunes Regular MP logical that to get it it's easy to do, there's no one can complain about not being able to follow the buck and keep pause yet like when you we answer rate like the we'd, be really fun you're, never listened a stern or something like that. Some really interesting guess would cause I'm like Fucker gotta go in this bill Listen to this, I have to shut it off, and then you come back to Kansas pick up we're here. To its Khan and that's the worst thing like about a work day. Some reason whatever I like, we would get in the car. In the morning I hear the same part of stern when I was leaving rugged catch the recently at the second. I got the car the morning light. What exactly the stern might now here's where society bags. Sure to get stones over the original PA, gesture, Essentially I mean certainly carved the path it wasn't for you know his really controversial I'll of radio it wouldn't have opened up that
Media like it in the idea that medium, it was like the initial foot through the dark, as there is always like wacky Bj's like when I was in Boston, it was Charles Lockwood Dara, the more eminent big mattress. Didn't you I like it here, like the big match, Charles Lockwood ERA, like that's right, listen to us delivering these papers. He was like the leg. Have like a guy every town would like a big shy and now those those guys you're like few and far between a covenant being still an ally, has a couple people like various markets, but when I get my when I go back to Boston and I turn on the radio- and I still here-
Lauren and widely in the morning. I'm, like really mark you guys, are hanging on your do adding the morning early in the morning, Bob and Tom, if you're in the Midwest, we borrowed time bomb until you ve been doing it for more than thirty years areas like yeah, yeah, yeah, there very nice guys to, and it's a great forever you Jim shaped on the show. Yes, I'm avoid. I once the bomb attack once it's it's a real nice formula. They have a sort of have the structural. Show, the natives have comics come on and you get to just be funny and that their, but it gives them content for the show. The you promote you whatever it is it your there in oh yeah data, but the other good guys, but you know syndicated to a bunch of markets, but you know it's funny that you know that that whole process that'll infrastructure of we have the its indicated, there is only so much bandwidth. So you know it's like: where do you very difficult to get? to radio or you could just talking to your phone and reconsider ever be readily available, Darrow immediately, I've done a bunch of among planes.
Have you here with friends like did a series podcast on a plane? We just sit there like we're flying to a gig, and we just put the Iphone between the two of us who just talk in the fuckin phones, fine. I mean here that the plain in the lady come over, which goes like someone strangle. You hear all that, but he's a nice guy, that's what it is. I think one of the fun things about within your part gases feeling like it. Very immersive like yes or to feel like you're there in your part of the room. So if you people have like weird room tone that an almost as on does not obtrusive it really gives you the sedley, oh you're, you're, sitting ex seat, like that merciless listener has the window seat. You guys, I remember like doing lives on the road of Dog Benson, unlike we're in a rental, car mayhem and Graham, and also me pulls out, as I found like with too many. So we too many at your pod cast in the car and flick Gatt. Have the time to these things are actually pretty good. They ve got. I thought is actually pretty good for us
where's your court, my only my only concern about recording onto the Iphone is that you know, particularly with with the latest o s, is that it is the phones been crashing a lot like abso crashing a lot notice of locking devastated your crashing. How might you haven't having allowed across I've been having it is reboot on me for no right. Yes, I have had that. You don't want to know is what you know. What do I mean whenever I do a show, a record on my chosen? I did lose a show. The man I lost would you lose shouted like a stand up. Kommeni showed the improv. I had all this new shit. I was working on to us so say I lost forty minutes. Admitting Oda lies so this guy vanished off my phone and I was like after I gotta stages like I recall that one there's so much good shit knack. As with all his new stuff Adam, I added a couple. Tagline a few things came out this on the spur on stage, which is good
guys my phone press save, but what were to go. He has gone gone. There's, no wonder, there's no one to punch for that. During my gun stage, was only RIM Minneapolis in the winter last year, and I d like forty minutes, and I got the stage in them. I had positive said recorded twenty one. Can you put people sometimes happens? If you don't, if you dont blank this, the phone out, like you actually touch, it is you're. Setting in motion like that, I record like I have all serious. This is like the last link EU naming I have to tell you that to do the same exact thing, right name, I guy named the set yeah. I know I just have one day I used to do that too, but then I got so confused and that there be times where I really needed to know what the show was now. But you could it's good in case you gonna, live long, wanted to use my gas on your fuckin Garber Iphone than you have, so we could. Yes, he I've cutlet helium. Yeah it is
which healing we the one in four. The latter using them. No one's amazing gather good. The helium are good. Humans are the helium in buffaloes, really good too. I believe the Buffalo unjustifiably one Philly weren't Emily's or end the good guys. Two guys gonna, see tat glass just had the here, in Philadelphia around the holidays, but I always there he just go home It is more than we smart. What's so, ok, so, first of all, Europe's your new special is normal we first year this Friday night this Friday night. So, but in addition to that, what are the? What are the major tent poles things that you're working on besides the podcast, an especial well that the special this right now in this scary visionary face cause the the special done has been done for three months, so I've been done over the past few months. Is writing trachoma, new material because, as a Friday
max and toilet done. You gotta start! You can't go on the road and do that stuff terrified. So that does the primary concern. Right now is creating new material, You know that I'm also. I have obligations, you have see Agus in Mexico City this weekend doing cometary for the fights then you know. Obviously the pod casts and our syphon deal that I'm in the middle of trying to figure out what they're not only continue doing a thing. That's it that's funny so plenty of it and then I obviously of wife and kids of that real life. That's all the other tat dark out. You know it makes things interesting ass for sure. How have you found a mean? You know when I look at you usually when I get troll by people do usually the same type of person and that person has some.
Configuration of a sports team on their homepage, almost always, I see wrestling like there's a certain type of That is hated me. My entire life is just a humiliating and they still so. How have you found? I mean you know not to disparage any? kind, gentle wrestling, Mme for in fact many fans, because I know that I know a lot of people are cool who, like that's up, but I do find it to be. It can be a particularly aggressive verbally, massive bunch year. So when you started stepping into the spotlight, did you notice that right away, I care what the fuck is. God will, fortunately, I start doing it before social media was even even exists. Grandfathered club already I western and ninety seven that's. Why did the first post fight interviews for the USA
my god and then I became the commentator in two thousand to so spent twelve years of being the guy explaining what's happening and I'm like a billion offer kids with twenty two, the Ouse dinner there were ten one needs to listen to me. So it's like it's part of on the part of the whole thing we didn't is radio, ninety nine, ninety nine Otiose video see during these radio. Yes, and there was like when I tell you, This is one of the EU have see? Was nobody knew what it was like? I was doing porn. I was gone our ground pick a hidden, bull, poor and in a cage It was like it was this. It was like. Why are you doing now? That's going to ruin your I felt like a bizarre thing to be a part of, and so is it, but you know now that it's become actually means team. Sport has come kind of indicated, but it could have easily just pencil
disaster. We know the important thing, those that is as long as you continue to make choices for things that are fun for you, that's the best you know doing about gas year. That also could have been like basement porn adds to it to some people's. What are you doing, you know now even kind of was to mean when I first heard part caressingly to the. Why thing was joking around, but not really like people were really so. Why are you doing that? You talk, crazy, shit right and you just putting it up on the internet for people to get for free, like what the fuck is primarily on Walden. Why not just do a radio show? We are oh yeah, that's the easy way to get somebody to pay me Jesus. What am I doing how hard it is to get morning, the gig, radio, gay or an afternoon digging. Even so, you will have to play music. The shit and deal with bosses and they're gonna give you guidelines as to what to do.
Does not just news radio. By the way it was just one of those set. It's such a special show that just mean I remember that there was one of those shows. It was funny from the first episode like it didn't necessarily have to. Mind like it was just a super. Weird Corky funny show like right off the bat and everyone a really strong character right off the bat, and I I miss that show. I really do miss them, we're doing some reunion sketch fast in San Francisco January's. Can we really and we're gonna get together and talk and get gone stage and have a weird thing with it? It's like its we're gonna want of crime. It's gonna, be a man yeah we were at fills filled to scatter Hollywood, walk of fame thing just now, that long, believe it or not, and we were there the day and it was Paul Samson, Josh Leave and Joe Fury and the writers and producers Stephen Rude and Candy Alexander. Then we were there
actors that were there, but it was so strange so strange things like, while those twenty Go, get started. Ninety ninety two, ok was twenty here, remember. How would this is how long this this fuck, this distant dates me by using new radio as the carbon dating method? I remember watching, I think the first episode of news ready I saw was while- Jenny, Mccarthy, and I were they- have a for doing that spring break. To do the first two episodes of singled out Why was the first time I saw because I was mainly for the poor and that's when I first saw news radio, of course- and I was a day, I've loved fully because a huge kids in the hall fan, of course Phil. But you know that that day I gave a very vivid memory of being at spring break and watching and watching Fucking news radio.
I mean it was so good that it tat shying away from ever doing any sitcoms ever get. I just when Radio came along. I had it. Deal, do my own show and they will take their sitting down writers and all this, and I got a chance to see the pilot like the pie, with somebody else was re Romano. He got fired and they brought in some new guy for the pilot, and then they fired him and then they showed me the pilot and still under your own channels. I know how to do that, so I wanna auditioning for it I want to now, and then after was over, I I I had a like a bunch of like really bad script sent my way really bad ideas and really and then met with people notice, it seems so gross. I was like, oh no, like I went to the promised land too early, but now I'm fucked, like I can't go to just like do a shity sitcom afterwards, because he believed in hell you Pisa,
I want up that's one of the one of the core reasons, other than money that I chose to do fear factor. Oh wow cuz I was like I just don't want to do it. Gonna, wanna, work with actors and actors? I don't want to. I don't, I think, do any for fear fact there is that this was not not into disrespectful way, but you are sort of the name that my manager I would joke about. Whenever it with a long time I would audition before actually started getting hired. I went through her and went through a bad period Joe, and so I would I would I want this programme. I would get really close and test for something and then we would sort of joke like when others can offer to Joe Rogan right hand and then Jude swoop in and get you it for the longest time, like God, dammit, Rogan Christmas, so close, the early. You have seemed anxious. That was never it
there is. Nobody shows that I almost got when I look back now. I'm like I don't know if I would have done a good job that show. I don't know if I would have done a good job. If your factor and I and the other one was wiped out, I almost got wipe out and I didn't get it examined. I too join hands. They did John Henry. That's why they gave her the John heads of yeah. They offer me that too is the same eyes, but it was. It was tricky because that was like a green screen thing like you, really there I was going on. Do you the facts owes like would have fucked up. My quote, you know in terms of the business, but it was the same guys now I dont
member how they dealt with this discrimination, is ready for sect, but so filled died during news, radio yeah filled died in between seasons, foreign season thousand. Ninety eight. I remember he was ninety eight. So what how did the show deal with that? John love? It's came of John loves came. I am right John. We had we had, I feel like a funeral, for Phil, on the show or like like good bye episodes as brutally bill sorry to toil, go elsewhere, cry for really start thinking about it. Well, do you, so you think when you do this You know you nervous about it. A little bit and almost inevitable It is what it is. I mean it is what it just fuckin sucks yeah no, you know me like I'm tearing up right now, there's no way around that just speaks to how fucking Ass unfit Hartman was severely around that twenty years later, you still well, this is now
AR fifteen lose everything was awful the whole everything about it was awful and the fact that his kids were in the house that was awful. This wife killed him and killed herself. That was awful. You know it's just is like something that you never thought could happen. If someone you know in a website like mean people they get all they get sick, but no one's gonna murder. Anybody know, especially not the two people that you know like a new both of them. Yet it was. It opened my eyes up, though open my eyes up to that the actual real dangers of bad relationships. I've always thought about relationships is just like you fight, but you know that unfortunate, but hey. It is what it is. You they're always yon each other, but what're you gonna. Do I never thought I would know two people there, one up actually killing each other, like. I never thought that that would be possible while bad relationships and also drugs and addiction zoloft as well so loved Andrew.
Together, which create some sort of a psychotic effect, apparently on, but I know that there was a settlement. There is a settled, was zoloft that apparently the kids guy somebody many I don't know. But There is a lot of issues she was. She was a mess I mean obviously, but without the drugs the law, for that she was a mass. She was like a failed actress who are deeply resented his success and ass? He became more and more successful. Their relationship became more more contentious in those just shoot him. Heiress him in salt and publicly was it was ugly. They had a glee ugly following out sorted fights and their break up and he would go live on. He had a boat, wholesale boat. You go live on a sailboat. There was some sort of about, and then you come and they make up- and you just hope that I mean for a guy who was legitimately one of the funniest people in
many he had so many people in I've said that service before about you know about Robin and just like it that it set it so heartbreaking to me that some of the people who bring the most joy to the world whenever they just never able to connect to that are they are they have such you know, horrible circumstances that don't allow. Tell them to really, but you know, even kind of appreciate the fact they make so many people, so even We did appreciate. I you know it's more of of grown, understand clinical depression and having friends that are depressed or friends have gone through. Depression sought treatment in sight. It is as much of a disease as cancer. It's as much of a day in it it's a marginalize sort of a disease where people have this, like, oh just fuck it up right attitude, but there's something going on some people's brains, man and adjust. It is what it is, and some people don't they they just don't ever recover from what
However, it is, and they want up taking their own life and for Robin Williams, wanna things I have a good friend whose an endocrinologist and he any specializes in traumatic, brain injuries, and he has written a paper on the correlations between heart surgery and depression, and Sign fact that, apparently, what happens when you, whenever you undergo like a very. Serious surgery like heart surgery, where in other they have to stop your heart and cut you open
in your under anesthesia for prolonged periods of time, apparently there's some significant hormonal deficiencies after it's over your body sustained shock, and it can affect the way your body produces hormones and serotonin and doping mean and growth hormone into Stasi, thrown all sorts of different things, and it can lead people to be just unbelievably depress justice devastated, just they just can't, they feel they can't get through life and Robin went through open heart surgery in two thousand and nine, and he has this theory that that was sort of like the beginning of the end for just started off this downward spiral. Well, I think I don't know I mean:
I just wish because obviously there's nothing there's nothing really. You can tell someone, especially if they're, going through something you can't just go hey. You know, because when someone is really really yeah, you feel helpless help. I just feel like I don't. I want to help you when I guess I don't know what to. I don't know what to do so. I think you know, I think, if we're going to try to raise awareness for depression in our society, one of the things that we should do is to you know to help someone cope with it. If you're someone very on the inner on in their inner circle, you, how do you help them? What can you do that? You know because, obviously the did them What is intuitive is like K, snap out of it. Not right, not really helpful, doesn't do a damn thing. I had a friend who is on the verge of shoe
and he confided in me and confided in several of us- and you Know- is hiding it for a while and didn't want to talk about it. And then you know we would have liked to have this breakdown moment and I said, listen, let me let call because I know a guy who had a good friend. They went through some research I'll see what I can do and I connected him with a psychiatrist and he got on some pills and boom pulled right out of it so like he was like on on the door like on the sewers. A door and now he's doing great: let's go any so happy he so different. It was just like his brain and here's was really fascinating. It was directly connected to him using propitious propitious- and this is another thing that a paper that my friend the Harold. You sent me yes, the Hare pill is directly and prostate pill. Yes, Scots originally tat my called Pross car. I was honoured. Kills you Dick, like a fucking us killed mine,
David. Did you recover from it? Yes, I'll go now right back. This is how I fried eggs. Fine guys you do But he has our own standards. I didn't realize is anything wrong with me until I ran out of it knows. Like I gotta get my discussion, we failed and also dyke, unlike why don't have hard on solid time like what the fuck is going on and then I realized, like Oh, I was poured poisoning and my and got on it and right away like that's when the depression started and for some people, you know it's, not everybody. Lotta people get through it like you, have no problems with it at all, but another is this: is it inhibits die, hydro, testosterone and that's what causes hairless and in doing so you can cause a cascade of different events inside your body or not because of you know. There's a lot of biodiversity in human beings is also a reason that you should think twice about putting something into your body that they caution. Pregnant women not to touch,
what it does to inhibit. The hd can have an adverse effect on the fetus, very, very dangerous for pregnant women. She's, so is catch shit by the way, women and nuts monsieur anywhere near litter boxes because of something called talk, so plasma Catch shit by the way, women and nuts monsieur anywhere near litter boxes. Because of something called talk. So plasma toxic Plasma, Moses, toxic plasma is a cat parasite that Info rats and it changes the sexual drive of rats and gets rats to be attracted to cat piss to the point it literally causes their testes to swell caused them to be actually aroused and reduces their fear of cats to be like nonexistent, since that are being terrified of cats
there actually attracted the cap returned on two cats in cats, eat them, kill them, and then cats get this cat parasite, which apparently doesn't effect of the behaviour of cats are launched, but it gets into humans and it affects humans. Because of I've, stopped grazing this weapon? Fucking? Others? Cats could be, but like the crazy cat lady thing, like that's real toxic plus Moses effects, sixty percent of ill something around something around six million Americans, have it It also has a direct relationship to successful soccer teams. Yes, economics are we now because it makes men more aggressive and makes men more aggressive. More
sexually charged apparently- and it may in fact even make women more submissive, and this cat parasite has also is a guy named Roberts. Opacity he's professor Stanford and he's like studied this like four years and is gonna these really fascinating lectures on line. That's amazing, so the next time I get caps troll by someone I can just right back, like talks will cast my mother, you feel the category is, is: is it something that people like if they get rid of the Catherine around anymore? Does it diminishing their system or allow you have it in you? Haven't you have it it's just a party or body now Edna? How is it transmittable transmittable I think like if you like, probably like blood or maybe shit or something like TAT, because it's Saturday now,
parasite minute guys out. We have to be some way for it to get into your body, had prior probing difficult, but transmittable knew what this means is that, with all the popularity of cat videos and Instagram on the internet has tax or plasma uses, big, that's what's going on! That's why they enter the balls, are swollen and a lot more people are so fascinated with cats. Wasn't supposed he found was that there's also a direct correlation between motorcycle accidents and because it makes people reckless, so they would get these motorcycle accidents in and they would say, testing I for toxic and the testing for talks only said a disproportionate amount of these. Motorcycle accidents were caused by people who had toxic pause Moses, and
that's incredible! Incredible! Sewed make them while the real more get. If I could get a dog cats already at another one on the way and one my cats was feral, you know I had a fairly tat from a time was like a little baby. My friend she found this this nearer. Parliament buildings like a long time ago found this this cat, who again kittens and they sort of captured all and you know, try to hand amounts people and I'm a big sucker for strays. So I took this fuckin crazy cat into my house. Never lifetime. It never never came around I'll use crazy. He would let me touch him and pet him and he like per one up every elsewhere, but it came near if you ve never actually encountered a Pharaoh cat, its didn't sounds they make our. Genuinely fucking terrifying like that hit you wanna live where you go, I'm not supposed to be unable to go near that thing, like dates that weird like them, Did you dislike popping his sound? That's fuck! That's the Santa Claus covenants!
look out for you, so you could see stops The greatest did you go back in the Provisional NOS four can save my head. Yeah So when I shoot I I quit the propitious along for shape. My head, we have a good, has shaped thankfully lucky for davits somebody, while I've some scars, but some people like a flat back the head, which is a very odd item because, like they were like babies, there were laid on their back renewed, might heads a little flat on the back. Actually with a fuckin golf ball and shave my hand, it was so bad. It was to me with some freedom, pockets of lake I couldn't get into the pockets of given that I, for some reason have my head. So this lake patch
like Marvin Dollar kid cut. If you could get it, you get some there. Just like this is probably also super gradually, probably not good head reset. It was bringing the shape, yeah, just not to think about no shampoo anymore, and I was never worried about it and he's like it can't fall out anymore. I think it's like that's gone, you get head cancer. I guess you walk around skin good. Can you gotta had answer your ride? Yes right words now even light. When did you get super rips? What period of time was that his Joergen from news radios just like a red. It seemed like to be a regular size. Those like one of the things I was always have done to take my shirt off. We, reason yeah. Why was not forward reason? Just cause I didn't really live, waits much backed and those just kickboxing so is like
and then I started getting into Jujitsu, unlike and ie six. Ninety six ninety seven and then some around. Then I start really lifting waits cause. I started getting my aspect like doesn't think thing about Jujitsu. Also you trying to protect her joints just with armor, because fascinated by this martial arts. That involved, like the goal of, is to break your limbs like you're, obviously tap out in class surrogate broken, but right, but I've had no three knee surge he's my nose fixed. My back got factor I mean you get a lot of like weird crazy injuries from Jujitsu ass. I started lifting a lot awaits just as I body like a lot of ways to suit to make it more effective, introduced to end to protect you, because you know if Europe then- and you know, have like a lot of muscle like four kickboxing it was. It was
just about speed and movement and, like the more, if you put a lot of muslin, actually wouldn't help you that much is so I was training that it didn't really making much bigger, did most like body weight exercise. I do like a little bit awaits a renowned then, but then I got really into it like right around the top, but I got into Judea too near and did that change? Do you still He still fight. You didn't want my still train in, but I'm not fight and the like we want to be you never want to be in a fight. I was gonna fight. Wesley snipes The order me they offer a soldier ridiculous amount of money to fight worthless names here was describes how these tax problems right and it's so that gonna help him out of the tax problems now. Maybe more tax problems are going to give him some money or they were going to make him fight. None then go idea. Oh, I think he probably was indeed Bulging and some
What's the best way to describe it, some things that would affect your judgment first at some some spam. Well stimulants. I mean anything. You lot of coffee could be so much galaxy. Very sniffling talk, so could be that the road is expensive capital so that those of us who want those like six or seven years before they locked and I got a call from one of the guys who was the original producer of the ultimate fight each amateur, because ok, I've got a crazy offer for you, and then he can do this Wesley snow, Maybe it was just some stupid amount of money and I was like and then I looked up and he I've never done any Jiu Jitsu before didn't have any experience, and you just feels like I'm going to strangle this guy, like I guess you just maybe he's hoping that that won't happen. I would like, if I get a hold of a mother fucking was their programmes said? Yes, I did, I say right away the million. Why did it never happened? He changes, of course,
I think it's a yet well. He said I said yes and then he changed. The like it was can be like a fifty fifty spoil the money, and then he want. More than me ass? If I go, look just give me this amount and we're gonna give a fuck what you give him just let's do this and they went back fourth lawyers involve contract negotiations. The whole deal went back and forth her I hire. Does guy rob, came in his famous world champion kick boxer. Train Minos, Workin out when them every day- and I was doing jujitsu at night- was brutal. It was really hard. I was always tired. I went through flag for months. I got an incredible shape, but I was preparing for this and then finally, he just backed out of a completely in anyone's jail was so he was. Things involves a strange movement, apparently where he got wrapped up at some guy who had am convinced, taxes were unconstitutional, look ass! If you never heard you that happens well, yeah
now what s the rub. Is: here's what the robbers the supposedly when income tax, when federal context came into play, it was possible only be in time of war, Ike and then once war was done. Worse must go back to not paying federal income tax. The way we have today and so apparently it's written that way somewhere and they were arguing that taxes were unconstitutional and they just said yeah fuck you jail and it wasn't even a matter of paying they wouldn't even just let us pay, which is really fascinating about taxes because taxes, the only like, if you owed a million dollars and credit card dead. Now you would have to pay that in you know, you don't say: ok, here's a pot payment plan,
yes, x, amount of weak bob. I then you know you paint but taxes. If you try to cheat them on taxes, they make an example out of you and it's some really creepy thug shit, you know it's really. Creepy like in a ways is kind of a mob shit. They look, it doesn't matter. If you pay us you gonna past Brosnan, lock you cage. We would have other people left handed a right hand. Other famous people are going to know. There was a friend of my families who and it was an older person one year. She
came into some money and just din didn't pay the taxes the way she was supposed to totally her fault, but she didn't know any better rang, and so they so they they came after her, like you know, so she could have like when the tax bill came. She was just not, you know, unfortunately chooses not re with money, and so, when the dagger export you couldn't pay it, and so it was just like years and years like had paid back the original amount years before, but was basically just paying all the interest. Could she couldn't hand off what once it was just like all this interests, just tagging on attacking on attack on time.
Like you, I did some fucked up mob shit but criminal, but that mob shit they put Lauren human jail Lorn here from the food jeez. What she was in jail for you is an extra J. Ai isn't change. How does it make you pay? Your taxes fast does debtors prison, that's the beauty of it. They don't want you to have to pay taxes vessel. They just want everyone else to know they do this. We will throw you in jail, yeah, you weren't, take some of those completely safe, non violent and we're going to pretend they're fucking dangerous. I'm going to lock him in the cage, Lauryn Hill, beautiful voice. It's amazing artists, data. That was the problem. That was the only defence life has a beautiful voicing their I probably no one would take her, so I bought him on one time on time. Sentencing me think about how much money she most, how she probably could have easily painted on. I mean she's not broke. You know I think wisely Snipes went broke mean he.
He lost all his money, be get a bad reputation after they. Patent Oswald is famously done that whole bit about him in blade. Doubly rearing patent worked on blade three, so he has this whole bit about doing blade three, with the new cool blade guy, who is replacing Leslie Slant, Westley snipers on Coke freaked out, and so he has his whole like routine about crazy Wesley Snipes was made, it was pretty clearly established, and so he went he lost all his money went through all the money. You don't have any money to pay them and then, on top of that they just locked him in fucking jail now are you is your? Is your fight philosophy
because I've I've I've worked with just like physical trainers before who I've had pretty much the same guide. Training for like ninety any Great Tom Data is yes, look about money anyway and for while boxing was part of the regiment, which was which was really fun in and he was a kick boxer, but he was always very much like you know. You never want to be in a fight. It's the last resort, don't take two if you dont have to like, don't get in a fight, Thomas, a national type, Lando champion in relays. Tumbles fuck you up. If you yeah, that's what I want to get a vice. What is your philosophising? The best advice? If I was you, obviously you could mess most people up in the world, but would you still would your choice? We have someone scoring off that it be like you know. What do ya harbours yeah, get away from it? Don't look, don't fight with dogs either diet, if I were the champ, don't wanta giraffe data, your honor, I could take you let this chip erotic, don't ever gonna situation, words, you might get hurt. If you can
some are another get out of any. Why? Wouldn't you get out of it cause your ego right, because you want to select fuck, this guy I'll, show this guy what I could do to him No, don't do that because, first of all, if you kicked summers ass, it's never the end of it. People dont like their asses, kicked so they will come back in a fuckin stab you or shoot you or hit you when you're not looking for you could really Indra someone, yes and then that's a whole others set of problems. I have a friend who was a bouncer in a bar among island in the guy that he worked with got in a bar fight with the sky, at as he was working is about our hit The guy, the guy got knocked out, fell back and hit his head and died, but the guy wanted going to jail and it haunted him for the rest of his life when he is responsible for some drunk guy. Who could easily have probably been one of his friends or so if the circumstances were different and now this guy's dead, because he made a poor choice, got drunk at a bar and the guy made a port. Poison, hidden out big giant disaster, so yeah, my philosophy is: don't fight any fortunate,
that in grain with me, my entire life, because I was never able to do that. Chris doesn't have a fight philosophy. So much as a flight philosophy of life It's a good thing to have a fair as only first class window. Please don't ask me why I was for me when I will have those very small in grade school was until high school that even sprouted past five feet that you know for me it was and I'm sure a lot of cash alot of comics programmes, thing was, is just talking my way out of thing the air, because I couldn't I didn't, have any other tool set Rhine Disposal so was always like trying to reason with people who are make jokes or get out of you know tat. I was never the no fuck you like that was never mind. I was not much of it. I was very socially awkward when I was young. I was not much of a talker. I didn't even think about comedy until deep into my martial arts competition days,
I was a? U S. Open Taiwan, no champion of Massachusetts Stay championship like four years in a row and the only reason why I got an economies because I made people in the locker room laugh I friends. Our story, too, the cat skills just by the people I wasn't funny in high school, I mean I had like a couple funny thing: we're gonna happen: Newton, South nourished users could ever I wasn't funny. I mean I would do funny cartoons those. I wanted to be a comic book illustrator, so it draw like a lotta like I would draw like. My teacher was like super in it in good. Also, do my my teacher having sex So this kid was always kiss your ass and she was screaming outdoing monkey style alike. J J would have like ours, dryly cartoons involving the teacher electors. Again in Mr White. He was like five foot to so every time. I who am, I drew him standing on a box or standing on a chair like everything did was standing on top of something like it was
this little inside joke between me and my friends and everybody thought was funny like that's how I got my funny to withdraw cartoons, but like verbally, I was super nervous like I couldn't that wasn't good at talking. I would like go to like a bank teller. If I had, I was like scared. I was gonna get up in the front line, as I have to talk soon, here. We go have talk soon, shit, which is bizarre that I want to make a living talking and obviously we grant white well too. So let us not just that you can talk to people like buddies, yell, fuckin, terrified of banks No answer here? Early deposit, the robbery gotta ATM saved my life, which we have to go to the line and get to the front and darted somebody. But so I was not like a good talker. Like a smoother eloquent or in talk my way to situations I was, I was competing all throughout high schools, fighting
from tunnels like fifteen? Oh wow, I did a barely paid attention. Highschool will so then? What made you think? Oh I can disk. I could go, be an actor. I could go reoccurring, I thought I could be an actor. That's totally accident that happen. I gotta development deal when I was on MTV. I owe everything like leg, literally everything to two friend then one of them still my best friends, Steve Gram, was not the Malo just at the time- and he still doctor in Arizona and we were trained together and I was like a teenager and he was a grown man. He's about fifteen years old and down he, he was one of like kind. Just grab me by my shoulder said: you're really funny like you could make meaning can't you like outdo impressions of like my instructor, having sex with people like his now using his accent and do impressions of different people that we knew, but I was just trying to
everybody laughed out, you know one of detention and I would make them laugh because I was comfortably to them. They are my friends, but I didn't think that I would like, I never had aspirations to go on stage, I was always a huge fan of Stanhope comedy. Was it wasn't. Even on the list of potential career choices, I know aspirations and then my friend Steve, like literally told me, you should be a chameleon, so I just started Boston or Boston, stitches open my night August, twenty seventh nineteen, eighty eight other stood pretty, I mean, still I catch was still ran and ass. There was still a good time, for Africa is good as it gets there was. I literally came in the door right at the right moment and when I was leaving Boston, which is like ninety ninety ninety one issue when I was leaving it was awful. Far I go. I came in. I brought them to the edge of like cross and they were, they are limited and for me, lose their Marin. Was there those guys worry legacy
I wish APOLLO Anthony Clark, they were all established and I wrote wave and in Berkeley. Behind me in Patrice, came behind me they're, really right after me, but I gotta right when it was ending. Raven and now Boston is just like a ship. Of what use are God I know I was when I was there and when I was in college, it was like two thousand one: they like nothing, how many connection closed and there like what the fuck and now it's just- the euro? Will Wilbur robbers greater severe? Why did we love? It will know open? Might night? There's no word it. When I was there, there was five comedy clubs on one block, my God, and then there was another one down the street. There's dick darting comedy vote, which was down the street. Then there was nix, commie, stop and then down. The street was the original Kommeni connection, which was a small room like maybe you could show of a hundred fifty people in there. But I mean you re really, Pakistan, then above it was the comic opera, the trials playhouse and
cross the street was duck soup and then they were doing something no ducks who like food- and they were doing something above duck soup and would duck soup was, was the guys who, on the common connection they had this play to make, really super high uncommon clubs. They spent a shitload of money and then as our spanish money, the seeing just started die. It's start following and it was almost and over adoration issue, because it was evening at the Improv Carolines Comedy our there's so much fucking car by. Ninety two comedy was like had imploded, they just the bubble, but he just went crazy and a lot of guys to figure out how to talk like. Making a thoroughly comedy, I'm a longer my dog, and am I you tell me like I mean I remember the first time and one on stage I plugged dressed like a comedian, blazing marijuana police, I rolled my sleeve
I'd like a wacky t, shirt on, and I had like a funny pin or something like that He has a uniform and then sneakers with joy You know what I was trying to look like what I saw on even the Improv Anita trying to talk like those guys and that's what a lot of people did and some people they made like career jointly Carter. You may lay back a long time, yet he did that sort of car. It almost never works by the word. No, when someone makes the super nice cavity club because there's something about a comical that should be a little bit, pretty like a little greedy and a little. This is subversive. We shouldn't be here like something and exit. Whenever they do LE whenever they like nice Dinner theatre, where they rely leg, they logically go yes, Company needs nice seeds really good food like in that it just almost never work specially in Bosnia. Better value for their own land,
No, I haven't yet either. I wonder I heard the sound system sucks, keep our it's fun, get the sound system. They get, they get mad retire. Yellowstone. If you go out the problem with a laugh Boston is that it's like out. It's like out sat like over by where the like floating hospital is like out over there like there's, no for traffic by other people in the hotel. Gotcha eighty times Please district, the theatre district like next calmly stop still there, I sort of still there. Yes, it is yes, it is They are to put it on the weekend. Yonder thy up gradually Grech, these to do three shows simultaneously. They would have guys they would do the upstairs room and then they would have downstairs room and then they had a dance club. They converted to accommodate them. So they had like a small room downstairs and there the big room upstairs and then they have is dance club is fuckin. High ceilings was terrible room, but they there's just they couldn't get enough people in there.
So that's what people wanted to do and the weekends you want to go to the common club and then SAM's is that now I don't answers, but is the place, is the collusion one does other they'll have economic live in it? I think it does saw someone, someone who is a friend, my from Boston, had a tweet about going to the cologne. Some pretty show that I was a kid areas. There are really feel like Gilbert coming through their sag. It would come through their what about giggles and sagas on route? One is still, there would still be there. That's my classroom. Lenny Clark brother, that guy globally, giggles insalubrious that, by the way, where one more, if you were making fun of airline, this guy's gonna be a giggles and soggy. So great. That was a great gig. I mean I got to see. Everybody performance laughed ass. If you want to have me I'll come by and he threw it out there
It is true that loaded on about gas, as long as you can lose, you can promote Algeria urgently in the book. They pretty much any comical, really hey. If you can promote it. Great yeah, pretty monitoring I would imagine you're doing theatres, mainly I do, but you know what I did my last common special in a clearly still there giggles and sorry. I did my last calmly special. Denver calmly works of the day Certainly, that is where you can gray club it's the best, and because of that I did like a whole series of clubs leading up to that, and I liked it so much like even make more money doing theatres, I mean I've done a few dear desire got like the celebrity theatre. Month in Phoenix. Does that crazy theatre and were Louis. Did it as Israel, special I'm doing accuracy Joe do at all. Do our luckily I've been writing to fulfil terrified but but
like this, we can I'm doing the improv and on terra I still do. I still do clubs. Are you how much into this new set? Are you at this point? We have a lot of extra material that I didn't put on the special that far back. That's always key lights what I called like pillars and then you know and then I'll build walls and put stuff around it, but I'm always there's always pillars that I could shut the family, no fucking panic, back. But it's really all about like the way I feel about premises. Premises are kind of like scaffolding, you know and then once you have, the scaffolding and you just sort of like figure out a way to make, funny and add all this to it, and and in eventually lay carpet down and look to have it nice and finished. But, like I said, there's a
Friends are good comic, who was is fairly new guy and he was doing this bit now. Like listen man, that's a really funny bit, but its attired premise. I too many people have done that. Almost you, you ve got your own jokes. I go you gotta. Think of the creativity, the you're. Putting into this premise is like the premises, scaffolding, all the stuff that you're putting around it unique, just figure out a way to do a completely unusual were unique premise and not have it was just too tired. I see too many guys to the sand bit made, even though his was his was essentially not parallel. Thinking as much as like an obvious premise right, but I, like their service, are important time yet to realise that what the subject matter is essentially the scaffolding and then all the other stuff that goes around. It is
You know: that's, where are the workers in don't put any work into a shitty building really interests things not worth it yet, but if you're a new common, if your newer comic you may not, I mean it's help your itself. To have someone go hey. Do you know like, unfortunately, well fortunately the way that you normally learn that and the reason why it takes so long for to develop as a sustainable, because you can do it so much realising, like that. Something, like a lot of that, allow those lessons learned on your own through the guy, was very lucky to have you step in and give him and alternative point of view for all the other day again in China, and I did it in a way where else like one of them now that he's like he's really good, like you're, really good comic, like you, don't wanna like ruin, really good with something this mediocre fought fall into that trap of like it will work like add, you'd, go up and then I'll get a big,
but would you laugh at it, and would you laugh at it when you doing calmly for ten years right? If not, is prussian? Do it because your cable of more Andy don't need to do it. It's not your head lining we can do the same crowd and you to see new material like you can come up with better shit. So how do you see that? Because I think I see great parallels between the development of a stand set in and also the voice of like a pod cast as pack has definitely has me like you and has a point of view that begins to take on a life of its own and it does develop over time. How do you? How do you see where you ve come in five years with the planned gas? from starting a new stream to now like what it. What have you taken away from matter? How do you think it's grown? Why you, I think conversation is as much of an art form as it's, not as technical as like music or stand up, but the way
who talk in the way you come off to other people in the awareness that you have and how to manage a conversation of being conversationalist. There's an hour to you get better out of the more you do and if you do it a lot, you understand if you listen to other people that suck at it that helps to People are like interrupting everybody, jamming their own shit like some people can't let other people talk they just can't. When you see that you got that's kind of gross like just seeing someone who like stumbles over and it's not like talking. Were like there's always gonna be like people were, is like run off, everybody runs, fond of each other and it's totally normal and sounds cool, but there's some people that theoretical wants is like the raw We too have a conversation is to think what is my turn right.
And there are some people that are like even listening to me, like you know, will assume you're just waiting for your turn. You know- and that's that's not you know, that's not funny, listen to it, so you get better, but it takes time to really because I think we know we used to get should at the beginning of our planet. As for interrupting people exist because everyone has got super excited and it really took it took a really long time to get comfortable and to get back read it into understand. Where the air is an and beyond that, I have to say that the pod cast like I've found I've been able to apply some of the two sets like on a date like I'm better on a day when I was years ago, because I feel I sought to have this weird skill set now we're I can just sit down and actually talk to someone about themselves, which is rare
when will we ever went to that point of lake. I think when you first starting to focus Euro is worried about air. The younger always worried about a second silence ran when I realized, like not Vienna couple years ago, is just like listening to things. I love like a stern or b S report being one of my fair pike, s like there's this there's moments where this air, but you'd never think about the air easier. You feel like you're. There lived near conversation, so the air is like whenever you listen in new podcast, they will not let there be a second a fuckin silent, regardless of whatever you say, in its pointless they're, gonna say some leaves us for the first two years, but it really is something you get better and I lived and didn't think it was going to be. I thought you either were interesting and you could talk or you weren't in that's just it. You know you're a fully developed human being or an adult. Neither socket this.
He is going to work, but now you, you really do get better at it and you just you know it's like anything else, becomes a skill. Is anyone hit them? I'm glad with ten thousand hours. Upon think I mean that would be a pretty very likely feet cause weave. So we're about to hit episode six hundred right and that's all I did this one will be past six hundred, I think you'll be six hundred you're ever so little. So dear the six hundred episode, really. You know when you there's another hour and variable already met so I'd, say it's roughly, but its roughly like an hour. Fifteen minutes only eight hundred nine hundred hours of broadcasting, which I think is made hundred hours broadcasting one tenth. The way, their top ten thousand hours. I'm not sure if I buy that anyone
well. I will again, then I think the intensity and focus or sometimes as important, if not more than the amount of time we put an as yet, but I like leg, even I save some of them for five thousand hours. Your price good they're, pretty enough? A thousand hours is also a lot of ours of you practice the guitar for a thousand hours on my country, really fuckin good, forgive the guitar manifest. But if you think about how much time calling you we don't stand up since ninety eight think about that thing about all those years, don't stand up although sets to two on a Friday, sometimes three on Saturday, one Sunday, the rope in a work on Wednesday and Thursday or their? I wasn't you know back, then I was just doing open MIKE's I mean it took it took quite a few years before I was able to enough to go on the road, and when I did go on the road, I realise that everything I learned about Comedy LOS Angeles did not work on the road so that we do.
Alternative rooms. Yeah I had so that's why my style now is mostly is like. I have a set, but it changes because I'll I talked to the audience like forty percent of what I do is just talking to people and stage, which is something that developed, because I did not have enough material when I started headlined hobby literally, the only I could do to fill the time, which is to talk to people in the audience. That was a survival mechanism that ended up becoming. Like part of what I do kind of what that's answer say? Will you started? who in comedy when you already famous stats brave, but I had no fees that wrong. I had no issue with like just me like I realized I was enough of a comedy fan to know and I bought a few times in front of bigger rooms where I was like it doesn't matter that I was on television
need to start from scratch, and so I just what I mean, I guess in a way it was kind of funny cause. I've been on television for everyday for like for years, but then I would turn up to an open. I can sign up so it s a small nobody else. Nigeria's. I just wanted to learn how to do it before I did not have an go about Why should we doing those like? No, I'm not good enough. I need to learn how to do this. Why was there for Michael Richards when you for do and stand of a guy wasn't. There is a thing of the infinite infamous laugh actually night, but I was there when he first start doing stand up after Seinfeld and it was fuckin really weird because he would come and to the common store, and everybody would be so happy to see him for a minute. Yes may mean even to man's. You know any dealer CUP Pratt falls and who are you? Where did I get here and nobody like he's crazy? We're he's a mean. This is gonna, be the best show
ever seen and then you know you have a fifteen minute set and somewhere in now minute, five or six there. Really. This is never getting any better than this like what he's doing on days like this is we'll have to sit through another nine minutes of this horse shit and he was off, which is, worse because way worse, because if they didn't know who he was, then they would maybe a little more forgiving, but they company comes in and it's like that guy, I think I'm a virgin from you agent standards, but I guess, but I think a sort of that Chris Rock thing you know it's like they don't give you they almost Och more points off if you're not funny, behaves like this is supposed to be what they actually nations are so yes, try, Murphy's another guy who got famous first and then start doing stand upright and he was head lining like a year into
stand up comedy career. Couldn't when we went on the road together, he had done stand up for our fuckin. Maybe three years and it was me and him and John have we did as but like calmly, torrid we'd like twenty to date, and he and I alternated between who closed the show three years in a y yeah in front of thousands of people, you know giant places I tunes, maybe too soon to be a they ve got fuckin balls I mean in he did not want to switch. The position like you wanted to do. The same thing just will alter every time. I'll headline one hand by the next one yeah, but he he took his lamps
went out there like a man just did it does a serious lumps other. You know what I find is that, because I did, I did the about her in the biggest crowd was like twenty two thousand people, and I so Craig, and I had no it's funny. I don't really get nervous for big numbers, but I get nervous if I'm going into a room and there's like fifty people, you're gonna be like there's something. Has this cause? It's so much more intimate and you feel- and I feel so much more responsible and you can see you can see everyone yet? If you use, I just feel more accountable in a much smaller group, then thousands of people, you know- that's told understandable. I think that the small grooms are super important for cutting the fat out of your monetary S, because you can get away with like what Tommy's
calls dance moves as cigarettes cause. You don't like when you like jazz enough something in front of a big Crowley. You can get away with a lot of bullshit, but it is only to people in the room that bullshit just doesn't flying and you feel like, what's fake about your act, It's like those late night sets at the store, especially work are really important that even if the improv they improve as well like is something about also its in Hollywood, like my god, they have seen fucking everybody everybody's here they're here all the time like in any given night you'll see a hundred famous comedians, in our floating throughout the clubs in the city he now so because of that the audience like super used to then they use like a high level of comedy and so like you, you got caught or inefficient like late night, you go up after they seem, like said Comedians shows an hour and ninety minutes old
five hours at the idea of doing stand up in a big crowded room is like this contagious laughter. It's very catches on everybody gets into it and you feel the energy from the room. But when there's no energy in the room is justified, you people. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Chris Hardwicke, as so it's gonna sound crazy. You feel that weird slick with the silence in between the bits bid, Cindy, fed the lack of noise in the room, and it is really makes you aware of how much of your act is horseshit
I love dance moves as if I get up. If I were to get up- and there were just like for people in the audience, I would probably just sit down at their table and just talk to them suffer as opposed to cause. I feel weird, I feel weird, not acknowledging whatever the current environment is that the situation in the air- I'm not one of those guys I would like it doesn't matter of theirs for people and their elected up there, and yet do you are on the way there were forty thousand people, failure, Tina dared the here billet who they know the deal. I know that your words I was about to go against the strangest others talk to each other, instead of me riding that you know you're more people than you are well, but then maybe they would get annoyed because, like we can see some fuckin comedy. We can have a conversation with you do yeah, but it's your fault that more people didn't show up at danger. Feels in New York City wants and danger feels there is a guy named Bobby that used to work. The door danger feels is big, scottish guys, like a big characters party,
the commission is at work there colluding me and He I showed up there. I think I had like. Maybe I can nine o clock spot and I showed up there like eight forty five and all the comics, where I can get out by the bar and as like, what's Goin on has shown no one in there I don't know one of the shop we started. Eight, tangled no one's and there like no one's in them like woe, and why, when I said that two people walked up there, tickets and bogs had come right here right this way he brought him into the room and egos. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your host and these two people sat down. Like oh no, they will in time to get up, and now it has sat them down and introduce the hosting a horse went up and a date for doing a half an hour. So there is like two guys before me: they did half an hour and
or is like the whole. Maybe the fifty minutes and a guy did have now, and then I did a half an hour for two people and they never left. They sat there through the whole show them. That is just a severe. Complex they had their like. I want to leave. It was a little bit of that, but they were smile and laughing and they had some drinks and ears decent comics. You knows if you're been a danger fields, it's where Roddy Dangerfield had that HBO splash outcome, its, but yes or Kennison Dice Clay and I was the night annually on committing. Then he yet there was a knight the night annually on comedian Special ninth annual designing the ninth one was Kennison. So get Louie Anderson reader Radner, who Bob Nelson, who was grey Diaphragm, Jeff's Jem dice wasn't on that we get gesture Hindu. I don't think you did the jets Jim
now when he did the football players yeah. She told you that guy I did dice was later. Is the ninth annual dangerous, but it wasn't like eighty four, maybe but three eyes, Hicks, When was Kennison kennison innocent with what I would say, it was on that one to those like eighty or maybe the night. The annual young Ronnie Dangerfield Young young Communist was atrium comedian special. And I think that was the night. The night annual one at that point might have been like eighty four. Yeah yeah gossamer zone, Yeah. Did you disturbing Dinnery ill booting perform? cameo yeah
here. We he introduced, he introduce robbed me at the top of the show. I watched the shit out of that tape. My parents, let me watch whatever comedy wise because they just there that, and so I had an idea or communicate when I watch that fuckin special over and over must be so cite the ear comic. I give they just fed that that's good, always kind of new. There was kind of- and you know my parents are- They were like a man. Do do what makes you happy. You know they weren't like hippy dippy parents, like you, know, just feel you were like they were like. If this is what you want to do, you should do it because it makes you happy, and so they gave me all that Mr Martin record everything I was very lucky. They foster that early on but we need to talk about your counties measure which is Friday November, twenty first, this this Friday. What's a call them what time? It's called rocky Mountain high, Friday night at midnight. I did in Denver for a bunch reasons, one because Denver the club that Club Wendy, who owns a club
Is Wendy Curtis, whose, like one of the nicest pdf in Vienna, she's responsible for the entire seen in Denver its it rests on her shoulders truly rests on her shoulders. If it wasn't for her, there would be no seen in Denver Mean she fosters is open, Michael, ram there. She was people come up to the ranks and become middle acts and then eventually become headliners. Its want a few places in the country where she'll develop like home, grown headliners and she so good to two common when they come there from the road she so nice and she just always loved working. I haven't worked there in years. I've been doing theatres in Denver for years, but I decided like I'd, want to do that club, and I want to do it right after marijuana became legal like that's it. I'm gonNa Denver like I've just had like a short list. The other idea was like doing in Alaska.
He's. Gonna do want in Alaska and Anchorage cause. I think those people fuckin gangsters, shit leave it out and it is a fucking, oh yeah, air, a part of Amerika Bolivia place where it doesn't get. Can a sub doesn't get light in the winter and they just crazy in their funny shit out of Europe Reformed and Anchorage of European up there perform their vulcan love. Oh god, I love it. I love the people out there. They have this amazing sense of community because they make it stop to death by a moose wreck. They have. They have. They love you have to like worry about, bears and shit. I'm in your ear, literally in the wilderness, you are actually in the wilderness in Europe, a city that is the slightest goofy little spot, surrounded
by like the most wild countries. Demand elements thing is everything it is areas that are fourteen feet tall when they stand on their hind legs plus. The fact man I mean like everything about it is amazing. It's beautiful up there and the people are so friendly, super progressive. Like that's one thing that I found was amazing. When I was up there, there was, This honk for marriage, equality thing that these people had on this corner and they had like that the rainbow flags and Chin, and everybody was gone by hogging wave everything like well. Alaska is wild, it's like so different than what you would think it was so you chose Denver, yeah marijuana just become illegal, and it's a great city in and when I loved their love, cholera sides. I think it's I I haven't affinity two mountains and to natural beauty, and I think that that's something that people really take for granted in a sense of like people appreciate artwork like you, pay a lot of money to buy a painting and look
loved, gonna museums and galleries. But all that is nonsense in comparison like driving up like left hand, can you rode up into bolder and you you're driving into them? sounds and, as you driving up dealer, holy shit, look at tat, snow capped, mountains and the trees and like son as a Fox foxen road, like some fox, runs across rowing like what the fuck it so like exhilarating, and I think where is my people in Denver and bolder and that the whole area are so cool is because their confronted by does Justice inescapable power of nature, because it so massive, the mountainous. So you, so gorgeous it's like it chills you out cause like you. Ain't shit, like you could take yourself seriously, is one of the reasons why beach towns are so cool. I guess you're right next to a massive body.
One of those, just letting you know, is Joe now to show the fucker lax or other things than you don't take. This puts us I'd. Look right. There look at that, and I think that I was drawn Two Colorado in a lot of ways, because that Miss: why move there for a short period time, but it's some there's something about that area that I find incredibly compelling. Well not surprisingly, you're a fantastic guest absolutely. I finally have you on after all this time for our six hundred so on.
