Joe Rogan Experience #1507 - Bob Saget

yeehaw Bob Saget I I am actually excited to be I'm excited to be anywhere but I'm especially excited to be talking to you I'm excited to be talking to you to thank you and we tested you your clean buddy I am your free and clear virus I did I usually have like Trump had someone take his SAT I usually have someone take my Cova test for me did Trump have someone that true yeah it's true apparently but I don't know which what's true right what the hell is true well anything before the internet is hard and even during the internet it's hard because they splice things up oh it's all sound bites you could you could hate anybody or love anybody I know it's you know it's weird man is when the the deep fake stuff like how long do we have before you don't know what you're seeing do we have before you know we see like a world leader declaring war on us and we don't know if it's real yeah correct how long I say now somebody could do it right now I mean I don't I don't know cuz North Korea could could fire missile and it wouldn't go anywhere I don't think I like how they introduce new players like now you have to be worried about the sister right honest I like the evil sister and she's thin yes and you probably think she's mean she will be she's gonna be very mad oh he'll be a Karen a Karen imagine if your fucking kids named Karen what a bummer that must be if you're a nice person named Karen and then Kay well it's like Corona beer I mean I can't believe they had to stop that that that makes me sad I mean they stop the name that's what I'm told they stop making it now I don't know if that's true that's the source I heard nice they'll enjoy a Corona I'm not a fucking child I like Corona Lite but what am I gonna do and then and then AIDS candy that was a smart move you had to stop that diet candy yeah it makes you lose weight it's ironic ly sad most people don't even know what we're talking about is a yd s right correct it's called a diet candy like a chocolate yeah that you'e T I never took it I mean it's like the X lacks for dieting I was it like a Rolex lacks actually helps you diet also but all it does is just get rid of the food that's in your body it's not healthy no no I was somewhere once that I was on a mo diem because I was having rough day I don't know what happened that's another diuretic right or constipate er yeah I mean it's it's it suppressant candy oh so it's an appetite suppressant so it's not a knows X lakhs xx makes you get relaxed it helps you make shit diarrhea explosive explosively if you know box you can shoot yourself to death you can OD on it but it's barf what is barf barf is urgent it says oh that's funny Barbossa detergent is that real they did discontinued it because people vomit did they find out that really did discontinued Corona beer that sounds so weird that's what I heard from somebody classic there was also a candy called anal warts that they decided to take off the market you know that's kind of shit that I see why do I do it you never went there couldn't help yourself all those years of full house production of Corona beer halted see and I don't understand why it had to be cuz they're fools they're just chicken shit nobody gives a fuck you it doesn't correlate to me no it doesn't what it's not called Co vid by the way right and corona corona viruses occur every single year and now we can't see those ads of cool-looking people gorgeously shot at the beach with the lime and the beers right there mark Normand had a funny bit about that so you put it on an Instagram but like it's almost like they already knew cuz like they're always someone alone yeah one person in an ice bucket with four beers or two people I think I don't think it was because because the name Corona thing is just because of the like lockdown period when people couldn't be at work bro somebody sent me something about Mexico holy shit I had no idea there that many deaths every day in Mexico in Mexico yeah holy fuck is crazy this is a bad week for murder yeah this is Mexico but all over the state - it's been crazy in New York City well they told cops that first of all cops are trying to they're retiring left and right in New York and then they told them they can't trained people by putting weight on them they can't put an e on their back or their neck or any other place and they can't administer chokeholds and there's all these jiu-jitsu guys who train cops that are there like Henner Gracie put a video on his Instagram page he works a lot with cops Jamie Henner Gracie and explaining was a terrible idea like you can't control someone any other way unless you use the violence unless you hit them with things they used to be the Oldham nut squeeze is that back in the day well you could meet somebody yeah so he's a warning to mayor de Blasio but de Blasio is a fool man he's he's a foolish person well we have to have order but we also have to have peace well I don't know how we are so we are so fucked up right now so fucked up it got so far gone in so many of these precincts and so many of these these these look at this one guy who literally does not know how to grapple and this cop tries to take him down and what do you think is adrenalin and adderall and a person that that is that I think the cop didn't know what the fuck he was doing this is the thing these cops don't they they should all be you know I'm Andrew yang said it best he said every cop should be like a purple belt in jujitsu he's right everyone should know or judo or something they should know yeah you're right how to wrestle how to defend themselves and a lot of cops don't know anything they literally don't know how to defend themselves so then they're left with weapons that should also be a psychological training oh yeah as well they I understood I heard someone speak I believe it was who's our Carl Sagan he's Ross Tyson lovely guy are you talking about uh Neil deGrasse Tyson yes thank ya sorry I didn't hear the first part I'm going deaf slowly are you I don't have Corona but the left ear is out really no I took a day quo did you ever play in a rock band or anything I have really well III can beat I play a guitar I play guitar Stamos plays the drums yeah true you guys get together we do we say he has a band room we haven't done it in a while because we can't right now they tested well yeah yeah to get mic love from the Beach Boys that Cove it I don't know I love that you gave me one I love that that you personally but I love that I had one just now well it's I think it's important for everybody know because you can get mine fuck yourself and think you have it I've mine fucked myself a bunch of times like my short of breath yeah we've all done it we do it at night it's a panic attack yeah and it could be just I get allergies and I'm also had walking pneumonia cuz when I'm up on the road over the years you just are on planes or international stuff and you go at your heavy breathing and then I find out oh I just did ten dates in a row then I come back and my doctor says Bob you have pneumonia yeah so drunk right yeah and you don't know what the fuck is coming out of the vents on the planes is I just being next to people they're farting in your face too literally well shit spray they freckle you they walk by when they go to the bathroom and people don't know what freckling is I'm not telling you yeah there's a product called freckled and they're taking it off the market I wonder if people are gonna go back to no masks in public I think there's gonna be a certain number of people they're just gonna keep wearing masks I think you're right and when I was in Japan I didn't understand the mask theory which was but not about I don't think it was about a contagion type thing it was about cleanliness it was about the air quality I mean it's also about being polite the Japanese culture if you have sniffles or something like that you don't want to give it to someone else yeah they're more thoughtful and considerate now that is what we're lacking here yeah the people that are yelling I'm not wearing a mask you've taken away my rights see that lady in Florida yeah bars give me 100 free meals to the people that don't wear masks yep Florida has the fourth number of coronavirus cases on earth if Florida was a country it would have the fourth on earth yes well they opened it up to prove their point that their petri dish was impenetrable well they open it up to Disney World they did they opened Disney World and people loved the idea of not waiting in line so they're willing to die what is a skinny video of Disney World opening day there's a sauce going around Saturday that there was some influencers that went because there's a lot of people that on YouTube that just go to Disney parks all the time yeah yeah and they were saying they felt sick and I just went the next day and they're like our this is fun but we all of our throats hurt real bad oh my god I think they all have it unless they're faking there probably was a lot of use in there Splash Mountain I mean there's things that there's no way droplets don't come out of you and go into the mouths of the person but how do you ever see the movie outbreak years ago it just it happened yeah so there's a mazing shot in the movie it's a point of view of a phlegm ball and it's literally follows phlegm a guy laughs it's a comedy of course laughs of a piece of phlegm comes out of his mouth they follow point of view they do CGI are beginnings of it and it goes into another person's mouth and that's how in a contagion way then they should represented how this thing can travel and I wear a mask was funny when you had bill burr on here who's a mutual friend people do not understand that I was goading bill into going on a rant I was fuckin with no they don't wrote it out like I really don't wear I have a mask in my fucking pocket me today no your yeah it's funny cuz everything's out of context everything's serious but that's that's what I'm committee trying so hard cuz I'm an I'm a newbie at this I'm on my 33rd episode you're on the Hebrew calendar you're 5748 episodes you know you you're 10 years of doing something that revolutionized this okay so I just started it because I bhisma for kovat I started it because I was doing shows and I'd be in a theater and people would be yelling at each other and I would go guys woody what are you doing or I'd have a bit about prejudice when I was six years old when there was profiling when there was segregated bathrooms and I started talking about it people would get angry in the shin do you get me for at the world one guy yelled the South will rise again well this is pre kovin pre covered the guy yelled out the south will rise again my response was sir we're in Boston here I was at the wilberth he was serious he was a hundred percent serious and then they went and went to tag him and I said no leave leaving be you know unless someone continues I deal with it we both will rise again isn't fucking Boston but they've had a long down time and lost in 1865 you gonna rise again the other thing is they're pulling down statues right so the statues are like uh they're like chocolate Easter eggs Easter bunnies the ones that are Hollow mm-hmm so if a statue to me is less than an inch thick of the lining around it and it's hollow inside right I think it an inch it could maybe stay up if it's heavy enough but if ten guys could pull it down with a rope and it's made of aluminum that's gotta come down it's like a Jiffy Pop it really is here's the thing about these statues this is one thing that people need to understand all the modern laughing about it by the way because I'm trying to find humor in what's so chaos it's chaos obsessive history some of it should be dismantled some of those tattoos should go they really shouldn't be there but they should greet him and bring them to some sort of a Civil War Museum or something like that but a lot of those statues look there's Genghis Khan museums right there's museum pieces on Genghis Khan he killed ten percent of the world's population while he was alive there's something about those statues though that a lot of people don't realize like they were really cheaply made and put up very quickly in response to the civil rights movement what people don't understand that those those aren't like these long standing homage is to these great generals no there were in response to the civil rights movement so they started putting up these Confederate statues you know that's why they're made they're made like shit their meters quickly yeah you can make them I thought that we could high pans yeah but then you go to know random foil you got to see grant to work grant statue I mean it's made of molten lava they probably want to take his thing down too this is the thing you know what take everything the Trump said something and everybody thought he was joking like what's next they're gonna take down Lincoln they're gonna take down George Washington never it's like get the fuck out of here and then I'm gonna do that but they are doing that they are trying to take down George Washington statues and people are saying you should get rid of George Washington statues because George Washington's slaves and George Washington was a white supremacist and he didn't want to own slaves he wanted to abolish it from what I've read and from what I understand it would be so hard to know it would be so hard to know other than what he wrote in and you know unless you have a fucking time machine it would be so hard you're right we don't even know what history is right now Yeah right we're being fed I try to watch all news things or none I try to watch every single Channel because I want to see where the world says well I think that's the worst way to get news is off television I think you get so much nonsense and so much posturing and virtue signaling and so much bias like when I watch CNN I was watching CNN when they were correcting Trump on these these things that he says it wasn't even news it was like this weird an opinion piece that was a tabloid it's a dog but Fox is tabloid a tall man in this NBC some there's jewels in all of it though there's reality in all of it because you'll get just the right broadcaster an actual broadcaster and news journalist you'll get a couple of people that are that on every one of those networks yeah and then you'll get a guest that feeds the beast rather it's become like South Park and it's gonna be offensive to some people what I'm gonna say it'll be like we have here the president of United States and it's a split screen and also a midget you know and then they'll have just because everyone has a voice and and that's an offensive word by the way midget President of the United States No rimshot please don't hit the button but but that's what they would do or our man in a hoop skirt you know they would do that on South Park constantly and we've kind of become that here's a person that has you know ten million people looking at them on whatever site you look at and then someone who has 5,000 people who has a YouTube page that people go to but it's just to start everybody goes to the news source they want that validates what their opinion or to get angry mic tune into Fox News just to get angry or tune in to CNN and get angry if you're on the other side it's it's weird time man but it's got to come together I know that's what you try to do that and I know that that's what I mean stand up is the root of that in a way yeah because you can make fun of ideas that maybe even someone agrees with the idea but if you mock that idea and it's so funny it gets them to laugh they have to think about it you know if you like say if you're how beautiful is that so to be able to do that bad do you want to do it right now oh yeah I'd love to do it right now I need to do it I had this bit about Trump and I had this guy come up to me he goes I'll tell you why that jokes good he goes I fucking love Trump and that joke was hilarious like when you can say when you can make fun of something that someone loves and they still think it's funny right yeah then they have to think there's a skill to that I try to do that I try to it's impossible to come up with something that pleases every side and every perspective but I'm trying but that's why I end up talking about my dick so much because it does it does lean left and it's a pleaser I might have to say that again sometime it's a pleaser you should sell t-shirts on your website that's it please you just got me some merch ideas it's a good merch idea right there yeah it's it's impossible to make everybody happy you cuz here's one thing everybody doesn't want to be happy there's a lot of people that they love being miserable they like being angry it's easier to be angry yeah than it is to dig out and wake up positive and go I'm gonna try to write some things today yeah that's right I mean ri ght make things better in the world by putting out my energy by trying to if there could just be a fuckin discourse yeah it's just there's also with people that don't agree there's also a problem that we have timelines like we have a deadline we have a deadline our deadlines November or the world's gonna fall apart we got to get rid of this motherfucker by November and everybody's clamoring and trying to figure out how to do it and pretending Joe Brydon brain isn't melting and everyone's running around trying to put together some sort of with actually they got a mic stand duct tape and a pipe cleaner he's gonna be fine he's gonna be they're gonna weekend at Bernie's him all the way to the fucking cabinet he's been doing some goods putting out some stuff that's pretty Dave we're go online he's been given Sweeting know do some videos speeches things that are a little bit more promising than gem of the other deep fakes is there a guy who does a good Biden impression I have not heard a good Biden if we were doing stand-up there would be a guy who would have there'd be some comic I would think Dana Carvey would be able to do it he's such amazing have you had him here no I'd love to oh he and I love him so much yeah he is one of the purest sweetest people I've ever known he was the his character of Lorne Michaels was the original doctor yes right yes Mike Myers sort of like Myers when they hung out and they would always be the pinky in the mouth and yeah yeah it was it was Dana is an original Dan he's brilliant yeah he's brilliant he's we would sit around back in when you were I think you were six but we would go to fabs this Italian restaurant on Van Nuys and we would be with our wives Hobbs fabs he stayed with his wife my wife and I got divorced but I have a new wife she was congratulations thank you Jesus van nuys used to be a hot spot I was looking at this video oh yes there's a thing with the LA Times had a photographic essay of Van Nuys Boulevard in the 70s and it was amazing it was all these people with bell-bottoms and these cool cars and they used to on Saturday nights drive their cars up and down the road it was like fun yeah but it was like a place where people would go to cruise yeah it was boogie nights without the heroin and and people getting harmed giant prosthetic market marky-mark prosthetic dicks so so we would sit there and it was right before he got Sarah Night Live what year is this 586 it was one year before he got that and before I I had been in a Richard Pryor movie that was the first thing of consequence and then what movie was that critical condition you got to work with Pryor I got to spend a month with him and I got to hang out with him because I was one of the hosts at the store for eight years and you got to work with prior when Pryor was prior what was after the fire but it was a hundred percent strip without real fire it was after the fire did Jo Jo dancer and and critical condition was directed by Michael Apted a great director who did coal miners daughter made a lot of important moves did the 7up series do you ever see that 7up 14 up 21 up took seven people through their lives from London and followed them every seven years to the documentary about them oh wow just a real special brilliant lovely man it was head of the Academy for a while anyway so what happened was but but but working with Pryor we were you know when you're doing a movie we were in a shower stall in an old hospital and it's supposed to be Rikers Island or whatever the hell that prison is up there is that desert Rikers which one in New York what's the UM I think that's Rikers right yeah I think that's what it was it was representing them but we shot it in High Point North Carolina with really good actors Joe Montana and Ruben blades and all these Randall Tex Cobb some really cool shit who weird eclectic group and i swatched him the other day in Raising Arizona he's a great actor that's great man he's a that will move his while that's one of the bets that low point of view shot in the supermarket image images in that in a lot of Coen Brothers movies they're the best fucking shit I love brother worki Big Lebowski is my wife every day it's like let's just watch The Big Lebowski you know it's a dude floating in space man sorry I was interrupting you so yeah I can well that's what I do is prior so we're in a shower stall and and we became friends and we would go to dinner I would I was the guy I'm I'm always wanting to make things better somehow I was raised that way by my dad and my mom to try to make peace for people that's the thing and and he liked that I would invite him because people didn't invite him to shit cuz he was kind of unapproachable to some people so we would go to dinner and we would laugh and I would make him laugh we we had to do one scene 40 takes because one shot there was a long Steadicam shot we had a dead body and it was covered in water and I was supposed to say something like the guy was in the drink we found it but it was such a fake looking body and every time I said the serious line I was this young dr. Richard just cracked up and so he's looking in my face and there's no bigger honor you look at you baby face motherfucker fuck how old were you then 26 27 and Wow that was a good scene that's Ruben Wow I remember all of this really that he and I so he couldn't the fact that he couldn't look in my face and kept laughing and it was a serious scene do you know what an honor that is to the guy that was an idol so I'm sitting in a shower with him and he takes shows me this thing this is graphic he shows me the scrubbing brush and one side soft knee that says just bristles and he says I don't think he'd mind me telling you this I always think about when you talk about someone that you love that's deceased would they be okay with what you're saying so it's not TMZ garbage so he would take the the hard scrubbing part and he said this is what this is what they took my skin off with mm-hmm after the fire they had to scrub my whole body but this shit and I've just sat there and I remember crying I think there was a combined empathy and then I told him of like my sister that died and then he was telling me you know you just get close with people and then one night I didn't invite him to dinner cuz he'd had a hard day and he was mad at me the next day and I was like oh my god so he was enjoying so I said but he but he was he was in a rough place he was you know yes not he was complicated human but I remember saying because when you're acting you just down I was green I said so you're upset with me I'm so sorry this means we're friends right cuz I upset you right and many went we went to dinner again cuz cuz that's like he's the classic complicated comedian right yes with the hardest shit drug addiction all the chaos growing up and uh yeah everything work yeah I grew up for awful yeah I mean that's his headshot on the wall over there yeah yeah I mean he was I think he was 19 and was doing the button-down Bill Cosby way of doing stand-up yeah but it's still when you look at everybody goes over he went and flipped like George Carlin and all of a sudden he was a different guy it was still the same guy you still saw even though Cosby I know it was mad at him cuz he thought he was lifting some of his stuff or because we would get mad at a lot of people but he's doing fine now well I think everybody starts out in imitation of the people they really love and respect who did you start out Richard Jeni a lot yeah he and yeah I remember on stage once I caught myself a year in the comedy I was like Jesus Christ like I'm I'm aping his mannerisms like it was but I don't see that one rid of it I realized that you know you become who you are but in the beginning you know I think it's normal I mean it happens with bands you know look Stevie Ray Vaughan was deeply influenced by Jimi Hendrix it's like yeah and then he became Stevie Ray Vaughn even when he does voodoo chart like if you listen to Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover a voodoo child it's Stevie Ray Vaughan it's still it's voodoo child but it's Stevie Ray Vaughan's version he became his own man and I think all of us in the beginning got into comedy because we wanted to be some comedian that we really admired and when I was just starting out I got a chance to see Richard Jeni a few times and I remember being baffled by his ability to turn over material it was stunning knew it so prolific so you're gonna make me cry because I was close with him as close as you could get because he had such mental health issues I didn't believe he died and I Dave Coulier instant messaged me that's how I not how you want to find that out so I called his number and his girlfriend the next morning and his girlfriend answered and just said it's true Bob and I went oh fuck cuz I didn't believe it I couldn't believe it I met him a few times I saw him live of a few times in the early days and then once you know this was like when I was an open mic er you know I went to see him live at catch a rising star in Cambridge when I was just starting out and I sat in the front row and he made fun of me it was great because I had seen him on The Tonight Show that the first time I'd ever seen he was on The Tonight Show and he did a bunch of appearances on The Tonight Show and then I've seen one of his TV specials one of his hour specials and then I got a chance to see him several times and I've told the story forgive me if you heard it on the podcast folks but uh we were at Eastside comedy club and he had just been there and the host was just he I got there like Saturday night after The Late Show and the host was like he did four different hours he did two different hours Friday night and two different hour Saturday night and murdered and they were like Jesus Christ and this was me I was like three years in a comedy and I remember thinking god damn that is so that was so impossible to even imagine yeah that someone could be that good then I got this chance to see him a year later at the Comedy Works in Montreal as a part of the festival the Just for Laughs festival he was in that little you remember you ever worked that place Jimbo's plays no no no I just did I did a show that the plasters are for some broadcasted show that I hosted Jimbo the guy who owned the club in Montreal had this little tiny club that was upstairs he away tomorrow met Aires yeah yeah yeah I did it the night before I was there yeah I was there that's where you go yeah the night before anything I did it with Jim Norton yeah and I did it with Norton yeah and Brewer yes I did it with brewer - yeah yeah yeah yeah it was funny shit I was going what the fuck am i doing always you can't always play gigantic but you're taking over the world you know I like little places too man though I love it you play spaceships now I play big places but I still I admire the fuck matter what you do by the way I think you have to tell you that because you know there's like five people Kevin Hart thinks he's two of them that can but you know comedy rock star shit yeah I subscribe you know wellhe's and and you're doing it and to be on a thing with chappal and to be able to do that and to be able to go out there especially where we're at right now and this is not I'm not there's no nothing on my nose right now I'm just telling you the truth from my heart it's I do this I've always done it but more so now I'm 64 years old now even though I look you know 63 but you're what you're able to do if you can unify people in a room and we're in a drive-in or at these giant places that you're doing it is absolutely beautiful and especially now whenever you're able to do those dates that are coming up people will never forget it when we come out of this that's very nice I don't know if we're gonna be able to I've kind of resigned myself to I think we will I'm fine listen like legitimately I'm fine working in comedy clubs for the rest of my life I don't give a fuck I just like doing stand-up and that's one of the things that I've gotten out of this you know I've been doing the last few years I've been doing arenas and they're great but so is the are at The Comedy Store yep that's great too I'm fine with that I don't I honestly I just like to in stand-up if we can never do arenas again if no one ever no rock bands no UFC every dozen arena again no football games are ever in a sold-out arena okay oh you can't do you have seen in the o.r well they're doing UFC with no crowd that's true and it's amazing I love it I've called - yeah - fights now with no audience and it's guy I enjoy it man it's great I stopped just happy that the fights are happening and like when I did I did shows in Houston a couple of weeks ago yeah I was talking to wanted to talk to you about that yeah the Tony Hinchcliffe and Brian Moses we we did the Houston improv we had a great time first of all it's a great room it's a great room I supposed to go there I had to Edna not because of what's going on now yeah but you went in I was like wow bro raise motherfucking we wanted to we just wanted to you know first of all I missed I missed doing shows but I miss hanging out with comics on the road it's fun you know and my buddy Mike Young I we always sure we're together and it's like with my brother yes it's fun you you know and that's that's the big things like touring on the road people you love it's the best cuz like Moses is the best I love him and I don't know I love Tony he hosts Russ battle oh I know he's great my best friends so it's like to be with these guys we were just from the moment we saw each other we'd go to restaurants we do shows it was all smiles and laughs holy shit we're doing stand-up again this is crazy Moses had done the weekend before he did I forget oh he did American comedy company in San Diego he did that place which is apparently was open and now they're closed again they closed La Jolla again - they were doing the holiest door sorry to hear that well you know they gotta take precautions listen man I was pretty nonchalant about it in terms of like not worried but as more time has gone on in terms of like getting sick my fear is getting somebody else sick that's not number one well that's that's the key that's gay that's what's fucking lacking and that's what's lacking from our administration that there's empathy we need empathy well we were talking about that earlier we were talking about Mary Trump's book I read some passages out of it today I'm ready the whole book but I write I read this long piece on it about what she chose with him as a kid when she was young I don't know but it's his niece her brother was his or her father rather was his brother and you kind of understand I mean if she's being honest and I'm suit assume she has first of all it's very well-written she's obviously extremely intelligent like very eloquent like the way she's writing it and and I believe she has a background in psychology and the way she writes it it doesn't it's not like a hateful thing like she's basically explaining why he's so fucked up and why he lacks empathy and what she said was that the father was like a sociopath and the mother was ever around and was absent and it didn't give him any love or attention and only you and according to her use the children to comfort herself instead of being there for them and that he developed this narcissistic self-centered personality in response to that and that his father would you know would anytime he showed emotions or anytime he showed me his father would cast that aside and squash that inside of him that's very clear yeah so he developed this that's the thing that's most disturbing about him when I talk to people that are fans of Trump and they say why aren't you like what do you least like I go what I lease first of all I don't understand the economy so when people say he's good for the economy he's good for business is that short term what does that mean like that that was pre kovat yeah that that's all that it was the world's fucked economic over he is not the president for where we're at right but the thing that bothers he couldn't just if he would but he's not capable the the problem is the lack of empathy like when he would make like when he talked about John McCain he said I like soldiers that don't get captured remember that is a crazy thing to say to it well he's a war hero it's funny you know I'm laughing at it because of the it's ludicrous and ludicrous yeah I mean I'm not laughing well no I mean it's horrific this guy I unfortunately will be the first person to laugh at the worst gallows of course you're coming right and then it'll get misquoted and then I'm a asshole right and you've been misquoted lately terrible there's no way around that no especially in this day and age when they could redefine you with something out of context but the point is that what what they're what it shows there's the lack of empathy is the last thing we need right now well we need empathy we need someone who can say something that calms people down and brings us together and inspires us man people need inspiration and we need to know and understand that we are all in this together and we can go forth and pretend we're not and keep burning buildings and keep going crazy and screaming in the streets for the heads of politicians and kill the cops and all that crazy shit or or take your mask off that's my fucking right and fuck you he never he wants love that's the crazy part he wants to be loved he thinks he's Don Rickles he wants to when he puts people down and say punch him in the mouth and stuff he he's trying to be that guy I've known people like him who would just asshole but John Rickles wasn't an asshole it was like a dad to me he was a lovely guy that's why it worked when he would shit on you it's like when guys don't it's like the Pope right exactly like you know when guys some guys can shit on you and it's look that's the beauty of roast battle and Moses's show the beauty of roast battle is these people are shitting on the most embarrassing aspects of each other and they're both laughing at it and it's great and that's what Jeff Ross that's his whole EEGs area is I only roast the ones I love yes which comes from the old fryers and old masters before that and that's Ross's thing he loves those he Buddy Hackett and all that in New York he would you like I'm going to the Friars Club you want to come what the fuck is wrong with you you're gonna hang out with a bunch of old dead men like that's how I learned how much fun did you have I didn't go oh but he was he was always that guy you really didn't would it be wanna be with a bunch of old dead man listen man I back then in particular I was crazy like this is what were you doing for 2500 just I just stopped fighting I was I was just not no longer competing so I was still I still had like this maniacal mindset I was a crazy person you know I just wanted to play pool and go stay up all night and were you single yes I didn't wanna hang out a bunch of old dudes right old dudes and listen to some old jokes and listen them talk about the Jackie Gleason show like no no gotta go bro the only thing I had one fun experience that Jeff took me there for lunch I go there this is maybe 15 years ago I think I was there because I was doing the Jack Black roast which was at the Hilton I was the host I was the whatever you call it the emcee the roast master yes there were and and so Jack was being roasted it's for charity and so I go there and I hadn't been in the Friars and sit there and and I'm just sitting with Jeff and I get the phone there's a phone next to me and the phone rings they go mr. Saget the phones for you and I pick it up and the a man goes look to your left and I look to my left and it's an old Jewish guy with orange hair and he goes fuck you what I don't know looks like red buttons I don't know and I go what do I know you he goes fuck you welcome to the Friars and he hung up that to me was kind of cool I now it's probably a kovat petri dish now I don't think so those guys don't make it I think it's gone yeah I think the Friars Club is gone yeah I would have loved that now as a person who like appreciates the history of comedy I kind of wish I went to one of those things just to see what it was like to hang out with those guys I got to me Red Skelton once that was pretty cool that's really nice that was that an NBC event back when I was I think I was on fear factor mmm but it was it was cool to meet him did you enjoy that character yeah I enjoyed the money that's all I enjoyed the people I worked with they're fun people what year was that when did you start 2001 to 2006 I enjoyed I enjoyed some of it I enjoyed like when nice people won I enjoyed I enjoyed like helping people overcome like this a situation where they're really nervous and I could coach them and talk them through because it brought me back like I used to I used to teach martial arts and I coach a lot of kids in particular I bring them to tournaments and I would I would train them and then you know like these 14 15 year old kids I take them to tournaments and they'd be fucking panicking and I would talk them through it and I would say you're gonna get through this and you're gonna be a better person because you got through this because it's so scary when you get through something so scary you become stronger and this is something you just have to go through and if you just shy away from this you'll shy away from this your whole life but you can get through this other people have done it and you can do it too and I took a lot of that over to Fear Factor and that's what I what I loved is those moments where you would see someone overcome and then they would be so happy and I'd be so happy to like ride a bunch of times appear that's why you're so good on it I was doing the video show and there were things I was like well this is my personality and other times I go ok these are people are flying in they're being flown in to LA they made a video of their kid reciting all the presidents when he was 2 right they're all there and then I go and what are you gonna do with the $10,000 and the father says I'm gonna make a down payment on our first house I'm the guys like 50 years old and I'm like I'm glad I got this job right yeah that that's when I go was worth to see all those people get hit in the nuts for never yeah it's like there's there's moments on in these competition shows where you really do feel like you feel like the world got a little lighter like people got elevated when you see someone win let me see people win things me see people I love watching people do better I love watching them overcome I love watching them like go through some difficult thing and figure it out and get through it and that the feeling of relief and of just watching the adulation and everybody's cheering and they're like yeah surprise and yet the producers know they've got something special but will it deliver Howie Mandel's a dear friend forever and he's on America's Got Talent so here's a show that I always was against competition shows I wouldn't go on Star Search when I was broke I just didn't believe in comedians competing against things you know and then did you ever go on any of those competition things no no I didn't so I'm watching America's Got Talent and they have a handicapped person come out who sings just like you've never heard anyone sing so good and then you see the true joy in the people it's not just showbiz bullshit selling something and that's that feeling that's that you came from something that you never it's a dream fulfilled and it's about the human spirit the human spirit yeah that's real I mean some people it's so fun to be cynical for some people on the shit on that but some of my favorite students I used to be more cynical in it's easy to be especially as a comic when you're struggling and you're making your way through the let you you know we we joke about the worst things where you know a lot of us are bitter I'll give us our gel I'm not bitter but I do joke about things I can't I can't do it I know I need two minutes to tee up some horrible joke and then three minutes to get the fuck out of what I just did and that's gonna continue because I can't not say stuff it is a part of being a person who's a stand-up comedian that you know that there's a thing you're not supposed to say and you're gonna say it and if you do say you know I'm gonna laugh and you're gonna say it and I'm gonna laugh we're gonna go you motherfucker because when do I have asked us of many comedian friends and people when do you think I mean is it is it the teenager in us is it that guy that's being told don't do this is it or did you lock in at 16 do you feel I kind of feel sometimes I locked in at nine because that was the world hadn't fallen apart for me I didn't see what fuck how fucked up everything was I mean you could go deep psychologically with it but I think at the end of the day we enjoy first of all when comedians are around comedians is when that shit's the worst right that's when the most gallows humor I try to out worst everybody and that time it for you though the thing that's out of context in quotes that's when you're going to get the most in trouble okay don't they it's there it's gonna for a non-comic to understand some of the horrible shit we'll say at Canter's deli at two o'clock in the morning though it's fun and be laughing like dying falling under the table and all we're trying to do is make each other laugh it's not more horrible mean people secretly hoping everybody gets cancer that's not what we're doing we're just we're saying inappropriate things cuz it's fun to do because I know you're a good guy and I know you don't mean it that's the only way it works it's letting air out of the pressure cooker yes it's stating that's why people go how could you do that it's too soon you don't do that joke sometimes you don't do that joke I mean we know Brian Holtzman vaguely yes Brian Holtzman is a legend for doing material way too soon that only makes comics laugh but he'll do it on stage I remember Susan Smith she's a lady who drowned her children yeah and at first she said someone stole the car or something down then it turned out Bryan Holtzman's on stage the week that happens and he goes I heard those were bad kids he goes I heard they said that close to the TV they never put away their blocks they spilt their milk those kids will not be missed and people like oh my god it's the hole they had it coming think that we were fuckin crying we couldn't believe and you know people would say oh these horrible comedians they love this shock and they're just mean and they just want mean comedy it's not even that it's hard to explain to a person that's outside of the business but to me like like if I'm around Jeff Ross and something like that happens I expect that he's gonna turn to me and say something fucking enough to be the first person to say and I go Jeff no but I'm saying no with love yes of course of course enison I actually I'm gonna date myself I don't have to now cuz I'm married that's the kind of jokes I shouldn't you know that's the ones I but I know as I'm saying them but I still say no but it's a dad joke thing yeah bill burr said to me he was a guest on my my my nubile podcast and bill said to me you know what your act is Saget said your act is all the lines you couldn't say on Full House and you just say fuck all around it that's what your act is I know it what what do you say and then he pummeled me for twenty minutes and I fucking loved it and then I attacked him for like ten minutes but he is he's one of the best people he's one of my favorite people he's one of my favorite people on earth he went to my wedding wind him up oh fuck I was I was I had nine stories to start but that's why this is I'm so happy to be doing this thank you my pleasure thank you I haven't talked to anybody know you've been stuck right well I had to zoom last night night before with Norman Lear and a bunch of musician friends oh wow and we talked about the world you let me talk about what the fuck are we gonna do and and it's just interesting it's it's and we used to we would do it in person we'd all sing songs for four or five hours into the night and and friends show up Stamos came John Mayer came Dave Koz always comes to it and it'd be music you play right no I thought you were a musician now if zero musical talent but you love I love music love it yeah the one's one of the things I love about music is I don't know how to do anything just enjoy it you should start a band though yeah yeah just get think three people that can't play no I'm bit too busy but I do I do love music I love it one of the one of the things I love about is the fact that I have no skin in the game you know it's like I love comedy but I do it you know so when I see someone make a great bit part of me is like god I wish I wrote that right I get I mean I don't get jealous but I go like fuck yeah or I'll see it and go wait I did that 20 years ago well there's always that right there's always parallel thinking but the other thing that gets me is like if I see someone really kill I want to go home and right it's like I can inspire to create Gary's music just makes me happy like if I like I've had like my friends honey honey come in here and playing Carrie Clark juniors been in here and well Everlast is played in here like I'm a bunch of people play music in here and there's there's something about watching someone do something that you have zero talent in it's really special I think comics really do we want to be a musician we worship music be some yeah some I mean I yes not all of them obviously yeah I never had any desire to be a musician at all zero no bird plays the drums he's done of a bitch well I was tucked I was gonna say something about him I finally did some of that actually stayed on topic I think he came to my wedding and then he had to go do a gig and he does the gig and his wife stayed and he comes back in a different outfit like a pink jacket he left my wedding and it's such a good friend he came back again because he was so happy for me because who the fuck else would want me then my wife and he's just I was there in Philly at the at the in Camden at the tweeter center it was called when we were on the Opie and Anthony virus tour so it was Tracy Morgan myself louis c.k is that the one where da Marrero got heckled and he went on and he literally attacked the crowd it made Bill burr a legend that was when bill I was reading their Liddell fiha I was standing there I was at under the fucking monitor right through the curtain that I was gonna come out I had the sweet spot you know Bob will do it like 25 minutes in the middle cuz I'm yeah I was just a bitch so then they put me there and it was a sweet spot cuz you take a lot of bullets coming up with a Philly audience you know in the Jersey audience and Bill I'd known him but I actually known him through clubs but I but he got out there and they were booing him and he's so fucking awesome is the way he's made that whole fucking Boston brilliance and he just started to pummel them back and said the worst things you can say every inappropriate thing you could possibly say calling talking about their Chi stinks and the Sixers and just you know thank you and I watched it and I'm like this is fucking great for now and fuck the Liberty Bell exactly 15 minutes he did yeah and at the end the boos were as loud as the cheers I think he got a standing ovation he didn't see it comes off stays like a fighter he's all sweaty you see it was fucking horrible what the fuck was that I went bill that was great are you kidding that was fucking amazing I've never helped and that he still didn't believe me and then I said you're gonna remember this this is gonna you don't know what just happened here if there's a tape of this this is this is gonna change you don't even know and I bring it up to him and he's like he doesn't want to talk about it but it is it was a defining moment for his everything ya know he's he's that guy that can just take a moment and rant on things like he knows how to rant better than anybody I know in terms of like in the moment pick things apart and peace and like he that's what his podcast is one of the brilliant things about his podcast he does it two times a week and it's just him yeah it's just him which is crazy that he's got that sort of muscle that he can just rant on things by himself just starts reading things and getting pissed off about this you know what here's what the fucking problem is and then the heat just goes off and what's amazing is he knows what you know what I what I what I know that you're not he's not alone he's talking there yes all of it so he's ranting to people that love him and he knows they love him he's comfortable and he loves people yeah he's one of the sweetest he's a great guy he's a great guy but he does something that that Chappelle does that I that I find them both so brave that they know whether a point is and they know we're there their endgame is that's really well phrased but it's like they dive into they make a statement then they dive into a pool with no water in it you know metaphorically and then they know where their exit is they know it and the items out strong it's amazing yeah and sometimes it's not quite as close but then they still know how to fluff it fluff the fuck the final well David no I don't take a subject and I mean it's one of the cool things about being at the store is you get to see like the beginnings of those bits that a guy like Chappelle or burr or anybody will start out and then flesh it through and figure it out and then tighten it up and then by the time they're filming a special so it's a weapon I got to go there more I was starting to come in where in fact you and I should have to bring me up oh yeah it's close no I meant to come there more disease a lot of people in the back of that store I got stories but I mean I see stories now people people fucking there do you get us in I got Kennison his first spot at the store you got him his first spot yeah tell me when on stage yeah I met him in here's this uh fuck long tie a t5 80 I didn't have a gig 83 84 I don't know and that's crazy because 86 he was famous yeah what happened was this so he'd already been teed up for mitzi to watch but I had set up the I told her to watch him I met him in Houston and he was kicked out of the comedy workshop in Houston because of the shit he would say on stage because he had been running his you know 10th show of faith healing with his brother bill and they would they told me some fucked up stories about shit they would do it was a bit charlatan and a bit trying to help people but also talking about Jesus quite a bit and he was cynical about it but also very confused very conflicted about it about what what is it because his dying on on the ground supposedly he looked up at the sky and was talking to God it's what bill tells us when I met him Carla BOCES called the boat was there Carl was there yeah Carl was there one happen that's a whole complicated non non story right now because it's a heavy sparks my it's very fucking heavy yeah their stories really very high was around yeah I was around for all of it I I was there in the building for those six seven years so what happened was when I met him you would have had the same response he goes they won't let me work here I met him at the comedy workshop meet me at 1:00 in the afternoon he shows me he posted he shows me this telephone pole and he had put a picture of himself on it and he kept putting up they kept taking down he was in the Houston Chronicle on the front page of the arts entertainment and he dressed himself because they banned him from the club in a diaper and a crown of thorns and blood coming from the crown of thorns down his face with his eyes rolled back in his head and said that he had been persecuted just like Jesus from playing the comedy worship but it's pretty fucking heavy you know and he had made it quite a name for himself and had a following there and when I don't know what to do man I want to come out to LA and I went well I'll help you out I was playing the laugh stop in Houston and that ROK's yeah I used to work that place I liked it I did a guy named Howard Oh zone out mmm trying to remember anyway this is our first dead air okay great yeah I'm trying to remember what happened what happened was Sam i sat next to Mitzi in her booth he got on stage and he did the whole bit before he had done the young comedians show that I was on with rod he did Rodney's first young comedians show and it was the whole thing about you know the kid in that whenever they do those World Vision commercials with a starving kid and his famous yeah the most famous one of the most famous things that any comedians done which was just a truism yeah which is the cameraman can give him a sandwich starving kid go get out of the desert go to the word of the food that's a bit that I use in a conversation with a guy it was a weird conversation there was a guy who wrote a book on comedy he was teaching a comedy course at a university and he was sitting here talking to me and he said that the best comedy always punches up I think is there was a time when people really believed that nonsense like that there was a formula to comedy and that comedy should always attack the the large power structures and that the small people should be you know elevated by comedy sitting here telling me this like oh that's nonsense like one of the greatest bits of all time is literally about starving children yeah there's no little Karlin no further down that you could punch one of his other great bits was about dead people getting fucked in the ass remember that you have a bit about homosexual necrophiliacs would pay money to be with the freshest male corpse those are two bits where you're punching down as low as you can someone's dad died and there's this guy's fucking him there's no further punch down he was at stage in the main room and he was doing a bit where he says this is what happened to my marriage and he had unplugged the mic is my dick without he did not need a mic to prove the point but he would lay on the on the ground with his girth and he would pretending he was having sex with his wife from behind and he goes this is what happened to my marriage and she as because I'm trying to fuck her and he's like she's like we gotta fix the fence it needs a new coat of paint but we can't do you know you can't do that now really I mean you could if you were Sam you could do it again he couldn't she was alive now he could do it first of all he was uniquely he was uniquely qualified for that kind of comedy because you he was short and he was fat and he was going bald and wore a braid and the long coat and he was hanging out with all the rock and roll and pouring people the coat he came onstage like he was a child molester or something yeah I mean that was look at that look at that picture that's him at Bill Hicks I love bow that's a crazy picture bill was the sweetest most timid guy bill his nails done there he's got a nail polish on just when I was tips oh it's the shadows but that was Sam was a sweetie then so when you see him then I mean when you go onstage he's that was part of why it worked you know was that like you know if he was John Mulaney and he had that act you know handsome and slim that you know now that pull off right you had to be you had to look like you got fucked over he looked like he got fucked over and he did they did and he did and he was doing faith-healing shows and they told me a story where he had been I wasn't gonna tell it but it's fucking weird yeah so there were two healing people so this there in some godforsaken place I don't know where and he goes come up here and we're gonna we're gonna heal you and like a seven-foot tall guy with drawstring pants and a t-shirt he we said he was like Lenny from mice and men yeah there was he was mentally impaired he said he was gonna come up and he was gonna do the whole thing with him and get out the spirit and all that and as he's guys coming up he's runs up to the stage and he so tall he hits his head on a beam and he splits his head open but he doesn't fall down bill his brother will tell you the story and the guy's pants fall down and he had the biggest dick in the world and so his head is gushing blood and his day swinging and he's going like Young Frankenstein Peter Boyle and it's horrific ly upsetting and the way it's been told to me I don't know if these stories whisper down the lane is that they went back to the same place after a while the guy came back and he had some other mishap I don't want to say he hit his head again but he fell he just tried to have a redo to get healed when I mean I don't know what's more embarrassing well if your head gets split up and but the whole room can see you've got a giant cock maybe it's a blessing and a curse I don't know there's probably a few gals that hit him up after that but drawstring pants means it's not a lot of cleanliness down on the junk well you could wash them up if you're a guy looking for a big dick like there it is if a guy looking for a big pick or maybe a guy you can trick in the fucking you yeah that would be the the move or some you could play like you do with a bat and baseball rights happens to that make that sound again I can't do I can't no and I can't roll my arse either but then the answer to Kennison how quick he popped was after that set like a week later rodney came in to see him and I'd known Rodney ride he liked me I like you man I met him at the in La Jolla he came up to me you're funny man you're June you're never gonna be happy you got a fast mind you're all fucked up man you're never gonna be happy and he was trying to clean up at La Coste and he comes in he goes I can't do it man no booze no Coke no pot no pills I can't do it he's with two women and and we and I hung out with him all weekend he stated that he kept coming to the condo and hung out with me and Kennison he saw Sam and I love this guy so I do the young comedians special on HBO I had a great set right before Sam I had a 15-minute set Sam had a 15-minute set I was in it for three and a half minutes Sam was in it for fifteen minutes because it was as a monumental it was and then a year later he was in back to school yeah so that's why it was a three year deal with that's crazy and he was a sweetheart when I was 19 I worked as a security guard at great woods Center for the Performing Arts in Mansfield Massachusetts and Rodney was there he was backstage and I was like I didn't get a chance to meet him but I was backstage it was like a hallway it's hard to know if this is a real memory when you're 19 your brain is mush and it was so long ago I got hit in the head a lot but there I remember they were talking about how he didn't have any pants on no never he had a bathroom yeah balls out I remember him pacing back and forth and looking down the hallway I know I definitely saw him at least once and I definitely saw him on stage with the bathrobe on but I remember looking down the hallway scenes kind of like how crazy he doesn't have any pants on he's gonna go onstage like this is what and then him up there just didn't give a fuck I mean didn't give two had no fucks to give he was a movie star his income at 58 by the way was Caddyshack that's a long song and apparently smoked a shitload of pot every day and when I said sure my wife and just just murdered I mean one punch line after another punch line and people don't know the story about him quit doing comedy for years and became an aluminum siding salesman he was born Jacob Cohen changed it to Jack Roy and then a club owner called him Rodney Dangerfield that's how he was named by club I don't know I don't know but he had a rough go yes rougher go he had the no respect thing was if you're gonna pick a brand the catchphrase it wasn't that hatch phrase it was his mantra yeah well that that that made him you know I got no respect I'll tell you no respect at all loved he would have loved you liked loved you because of fuck he always said and I've said this before so I'm sorry if anybody has heard me say this but he always said the key man is you just go like a tank like a tank cuz nobody wants you to make it everybody's trying to stop you you just go like a tank fuck them all just go like a tank cuz he had come up I took him so long to get anywhere and he would go on tonight's show and there if you look at any of these clips that they're running all over the Internet it's fucking killer and Carson's hit in the desk and it's just it's real special well he was a special guy the store was special too because it showed that you know he was trying to make it and it fell apart and then he took a long didn't take like ten years off it was luminous siding was many years yeah and then he came back and became the biggest fucking movie star in the world but he couldn't it took him to 58 and they put him in Caddyshack and a lot of the jokes were his yeah and and then a lot of them I mean it was you know Harold Ramis and stuff so it was the eighteen genius movie and those movies were so good I can Bill Murray in that Chevy was great and everybody's great in that everyone he's he's in the classroom and kinnison's teach you know oh yeah Kinnison played a fucking off till Vietnam vet who's screaming he just wrote him into it yeah that's a great movie back it's a fucking great movie and easy money was really great yeah oh he had some classics man Caddyshack he had some classics he was also I officiated his funeral man it was pretty pretty intense to put him away I was with him in in the emergence and there sorry I got a little in the intensive care he was in a coma so I'd go in and talk how it was you me past 84 it's amazing he did all that coke and he made it to 84 he stopped doing coke he just liked pot but he did a lot of coke when he stopped I think about ten years before he died still amazing 74 years old doing coke going I got another ten years I'll tell you what I can't how do you slow no booze no Coke no pot no pills yeah I want to go back to something you were talking about it's completely off comedy topic cuz but we'll come back to it I don't know it's your show I don't know if our structure Trump Trump's nice the book I got you on passage the it was just about empathy you know it's just about why what's wrong with him psychologically you know and when you whenever you see someone that seeks power like that seeks seeks that kind of adulation that's that kind of spotlight like what what is causing that like what is that you know what what makes someone want to be that person is like you're fired you don't see any love out of them a sweetness there's I think as a as a nation at this time we need we need someone who has got a real message not some bullshit canned speech that's prepared by a focus group where they figured out all the right beats to hit and but they're not even doing the writings easy I mean they're Mount Rushmore speech could have had five six minutes in it that could have added some people to it well it's he's not that guy Obama was that guy Obama if if Obama was stuck in the situation I really truly believe he could have given a speech that made us all feel like we're gonna be okay 100% 100% he was an incredibly good cheerleader and was empowering and it was also it's like you knew his story his story's the opposite of Trump's story Trump stories he comes from a rich father you know the father gives him money he starts his businesses he's known for being kind of shady and you know Obama's the opposite he comes from a single mom grows up in a ye you know is uh it's just different you like you know that he he's gone through some shit to get there and had compassion yeah we need that we need someone who sees that we're hurting you know that this nation is fuckin hurting man you see what we're talking about earlier with the cops and all these murders that are happening in New York City and Chicago's got record murders oh it's it's Tourette's crazy yesterday was horrific it every day is and there's no real hope in sight in terms of the economy because everything's getting more lockdown like today what was that what got passed down today in California they went back to almost stage one they shut down all the what did they shut down yeah my yoga teachers been trying to get me to go to yoga I'm like it's not a hot room I do it do it online I do it at home bro calf on you close to indoor rest to close into a restaurants movie theaters and bars statewide as coronavirus cases rise did say gyms as well hair salons barbershops fitness centers worship services oh my god worship services so that's churches guys yup everything well it's got it worked when they suppress it it works in countries they know they keep saying but it's okay to protest you can't but then they're saying that I then you hear and I don't know where I hear it it might be left information that a lot of protesters were protected didn't get sick is what I'm hearing I can't believe that does that make any sense doesn't make any sense they don't want to say that these incredibly significant historical protests have created an uptick in the virus that will likely lead to deaths they don't want to say that but both those things are true those those protests are very important it's very important and they may and and they're moving the needle yeah and the life is gonna change so that is a positive for people that have been neglected for so long but all at once it's like some fucking supreme weird litmus on the whole every whole universe it's like and I don't think it's a sci-fi I don't think it's over I think we're gonna get hit with a couple more wacky moments yeah well a meteor that's not far or a solar flare that takes out the power grid we just don't want to lose our Wi-Fi that's all that we called the wi-fi's first I thought this was germ warfare is what I thought this was I didn't think this was and wet markets are open again is is well it's not from the wet market that's where I want to know Tommy all indications seem to point to the fact that this was a virus that had been manipulated I had Brett Weinstein on my podcast he's a biologist and he in terms that I will not be able to recreate explained all the different factors that when they examined the virus would not be very likely to have happened in nature and certainly not as quickly as they had that the all these different aspects of the virus point to the fact that it had been something that had been manipulated the fact that there was a level 4 lab in Wuhan this is not you know people love to use the term conspiracy theory but this this level 4 lab where they studied corona viruses that come from bats is there it's in Wuhan why they study why they that same lab had been 2 years ago had been in trouble for violating safety protocols they look china's it's it's not america it's not it's not the same and they do things differently over there they're completely intertwined with their government they can get away with things that we can't get away with here and they you know they don't have a strict protocol when it comes to handling diseases well you know the the word of a street is often that it's wealthy people wanting to have their endangered species fix that's what you're here what do you mean that the wet market bat is like a delicacy and that's how it got spread i've have not heard that i don't know if that's true i don't know where imagine it would be more like people are starving and they need to eat whatever they can eat and they eat bats because it laid out like lobsters at the farmers market that's what I was picturing that probably safer it's not what happened I don't believe that's what happened in Brett Weinstein is very careful in not saying that this is definitely what happened but he he put points to all the factors that lead to this very likely conclusion that this is something that accidentally got out of a lab is the reason why it's so contagious that spreads so easily that it takes on so many different forms and has so many different reactions and so many different people it's almost like we're dealing with a bunch of different diseases any time you mate humanity with an animal there's a serious problem I'm not talking sexually although I've seen a couple of goats in my life that kind of had a twinkle you you had a smile why are you doing that because you knew you shouldn't do it and you did it and I couldn't help it I mean I work out well but you know it didn't work out well at all no but you're enjoying that but the other thing is I wanted for the kids out there listening don't fuck animals no don't forget is that okay to put that out there what if that animal really wants you to fuck it that's what I was saying a goat with a gleam in his eye this is where I double down on not working and what about a small animal no that's mean fuck something that could kill you if you're gonna have the balls fucking elephant like a bear yeah fuck a large predator yeah don't don't fuck something that you're you're the bully hold out rabbit down and fuck him so it's the revenant I mean yes what he did was get inside a bear literal not sort of yeah eventually right took a while right yeah I think this is how I tried this is how I deal with how horrible this is this I go to a place that's fucking asinine and that's what my dad would do or just stupid just stupid because the I know that China is completely fucked up with this and they they're apparently out of control and they don't know how to stop what's happening is what I'm hearing also well it's doing better than we're doing china's they've got it way more under control than we do how do we know that though cause if we don't you know they lie about everything the other thing about what's weird is like why why did it go so badly here yeah the UK the UK's basically that restaurants are open again New Zealand has zero viruses now they're back to normal I mean they're not letting anybody in but there they are literally back to a no virus situation it's like the resistance of the United States is down because so many not the resistance but the our immune system is down because there's so much hatred there's so much fucking weird shit I wonder what would have happened I mean it's really crazy that you know these you know that expression the wings of a butterfly could become a hurricane yeah but what would have happened if that George Floyd thing didn't happen if that day did not go down that way if it was just a normal day if maybe George Floyd just hopped in the patrol car you know or maybe didn't give them that counterfeit $20 bill never got arrested what the fuck would we be looking at it's kind of amazing when you really know it's it's a change of history in one moment in um in a instant and in an incident between two people between one cop in one man and then the world sees it because one girl 17-year old girl filmed it she she puts it up the whole world sees the horror of that guy leaning on that man's neck with his other people standing by and then the world of sports or our country explodes but imagine where would we be it'd be really interesting to see two different timelines you know see a timeline where that never happens I think it was ground to happen anyway we've been you mean but that was so egregious it was so yes oh hey know that that's the point that's a plat laughs yeah to this explosion where as if there was nothing like that I mean because the the guy who got shot by those vigilantes was just a couple of weeks before that remember in Georgia I do if this George Floyd thing that was like seeing the ball up you know and then this George Floyd thing happens and boom the powder keg blows I think the enough is enough moment happened and everybody's holed up in quarantine and everybody can't pay their rent and nobody can do anything but watch all this bullshit of all this racism and all this all of our bureaucrats viewing a bunch of lies and garbage at everybody my favorite part of it was the black and white video the actors made to try to fix it no longer stand by imagine with the imagined video also that was the beginning of the corona virus this was after that these these actors hadn't worked in months and they desperately needed attention so they ought to carry that stupid fucking video do you see what Jim Norton said about the imagined video nobody thought he said when I saw that video I got all choked up because I tried to hang myself so embarrassing well you know there's something great about people that have a heart for it that are well-known whether it be acting or sports or whatever music that people are that look up to those people but it's saturated when it's just people doing it because they're getting publicity that's all they're doing it that's why they're doing it they're doing it because they this might be an opportunity to let other people know that they're awesome that's that's what they're doing and that's their fake way of pretending they have a heart it just doesn't look do you know I mean there has to be some hard in there so of course of course it's not like they're evil but that's nurses ISM there's a there's a there's a certain amount of narcissism there that's foul it smells bad it's like when you know you open up some leftovers like I can't eat this that's what it is it's got a smell that's 100 percent right yeah it's it's the smell of narcissism the smell of ego to smell the preposterous idea that you're gonna sing your way out of people dying and that's what we're living right now that's what we're listening to right now but when I see Jared Kushner and I'm sure he's a delightful guy I bet he's not you know I I was being totally facetious to hope I oak great I think he's awesome oh I love him pinkie swear BFF but what what it is about he really looks like central casting to play the Nazi in a movie he so looks like he's gonna have that collar on and he's so good yeah exactly yeah yeah but but apparently he's running the whole show I don't know that's crazy I don't believe I don't know what the fuck I don't know what to believe anywhere I just want some where are we gonna get truth where are we ever gonna get it weren't they mad that he was the one saying that the coronavirus was gonna be nothing and to not yes he was one of the many like the bullfrogs in there and Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham they all look like something out of dr. doom II imagine you're the president and you like what's gonna happen here hey let me go ask that guy who's married to my daughter he seems pretty smart that's married to my daughter my daughter my daughter my daughter girlfriend wife wants to be imagine that to imagine that he hires his family well that's a that's a monarch I mean that's yeah that's a dictatorship in a monarchy but it's just does the only people probably because he wants love and I think they do love him they must love him and I've known people that know him I'm sure you do too that have said I worked with him he was horrible and I've also talked to people that are hung out with him he was great yeah I've talked to people that know him that really liked him yeah I've read that too and then it's a performance the moment it happens it's a performance it's well Ross told me that Ross told me that he had a good time with them when they were roasting him and he Ross told me that he was telling him like listen when they're making fun of you you gotta laugh like Ross just likes that he liked him maybe you're right buddy yeah maybe that's a good point it's a real good point it's just it's just a sad time and we got it we have to punch through it that's what I'm also is the nature this business is that the way politicians are taken apart their past is taken apart things are taken out of context they make these attack pieces they look into their finances they look into their past relationships they try to find every fucking little piece of something that might indicate there's a character flaw nobody wants to go through that so no person who's really like a person that you'd want to be president wants to be president as few of them already Flanders tulsi gabbard there's a few that I looked at I said I could like Tulsi Gabbard she's young I could see her running this country are really good and I think she would do an amazing job at this she's a genuinely good person right and a real leader and I think you know Bernie has some interesting ideas and I would I would love to see what would happen if we went like with some of those ideas particularly like fixing inner cities man doing something to fix these crime ridden drug addled gang infested communities that have been stuck like that for decades and decades to parentless in Festus I mean that's it that's one thing that I that we hopefully goodness will come from is that they will send people to help with mental illness and drug rehabilitation and guidance and if that can happen how does that happen how do you send people into the depths of Chicago where a lot of the pandemic of that kind of lack of love and it has to be done locally and it has to be done in each individual place by someone who understands the community it has to be done locally in each individual city each individual city has unique problems I don't think you could use Baltimore's solution on Detroit I think you have to have your own solution you're right for each individual place based on people that actually understand how they got how it got to where it is and what could be done and mayors and their regime need to be heroes they need to be people and the other thing is you were saying you know whatever you get looked into every single scrap of your life comes up you did something wrong you dated someone wrong you paid someone you did something you did drugs sometime I think that should be right there when you come out of the gate when you're up for you give get give just give the schematic on the person just in I want to run for president here's all the shit I did there's no fucking tax evasion there's I didn't know she was 19 you know I didn't know that her mom was my girlfriend shit like that yeah I never put my finger in that dog that pictures is photoshopped yeah you couldn't help yourself I don't know I mean that's how diseases start but no you just get sick you don't get a disease maybe you don't get sick I think helps people out there could give a fuck mmm you know people out in the mountains looking at their sister well you know in that way I had this is the kind of person I was when I was 21 so Jay Leno's at the store my first night did stand-up Letterman brings me up that's how my old man stories Wow so this is my first night Mitch he said you got to quit I was going to USC are we talking here seventy-eight Mitzie said I was gonna go to USC film school I got into their grad program because I won a student Oscar for a documentary I made about my nephew having his face reconstructed I was going to go serious filmmaking that's what I wanted and I was also stand-up since I was 17 so midsi said now don't go there work here you work here you're good I'll put you and you work here and you won't get paid but work here Owen okay because that night when I moved to LA and I quit grad school like the day I quit USC grad school I went there for three days I went up at the store Letterman brought me up the lineup was Leno Michael Keaton Billy Crystal Geoff Altman Argos Pryor went up later in the evening is on one fucking night that's insane and you're part of the reason that place came back you and a bunch of the people that came in you brought it back I mean it was not long ago that place was gone yeah it wasn't one good now it wasn't looking good no you you did that that's that's the empowerment that takes a strong thing to go wait this place is history and I like these rooms I need to do comedy what what was I want to know what was your decision-making process and how did you find because you were already on your way to wherever you wanted to make your playground well I was gone for seven years you know I was gone from 2007 to 2014 and that was the that Carlos Mencia incident that I had at the store yet I got banned and not even by mitzi I got banned by the former management and there's just some weird shit going on behind the scenes and they were created so where were you worked out before then I was at the store oh there's a store from 94 to 2007 I moved to LA in 94 and the first thing I did is go to the store that was Mecca when I was in Boston and I was an open mic er I heard about the store oh yeah in 1988 I started and that was when Sam Kinison was huge and you know I start I literally started comedy that's right when I left so I missed you I missed you 94 right well I always wanted to ask you what it was like because when you did Full House you basically had to stop doing stand-up because you were on this I still clean it he still did it yeah and as I started to morph and I started to get really fucked up onstage and I was it was fucked up how fucked up on I would go okay that's what I'm doing to her in the day and here's I know when you did news radio they wanted you not to do stand-up as much is that kind of no not really no the only thing that ever happened on news radios one of the producers said why he's still doing the comedy you're an actor now like it was if it was a great thing and I was horrified I was like what yeah oh like what I'm gonna stop doing stand-up for this you know that's because they don't understand they think a lot of people use used and used stand-up to get a show to get a writing gig to get something and I'm like I can't stop being one I am one yeah that's part of my hard drive well it was the most fun too like they were asking me to do this thing that I was basically like I never taken any acting classes and I just gotten a development deal from MTV half-hour comedy hour right and they said do you want to be on a sitcom like okay and so they made me like get an acting coach I took a few classes but it was really annoying and then next thing you know I'm out here in LA on a sitcom and so when they said like why are you doing stand-up here in action I was like what the fuck are you talking about right you don't you've never killed I'm like you're saying this guy's you never killed they also didn't believe in - it's at that point you can't do three things you can't do four things I'm sorry you can only do one thing I was also that I started working for the UFC and when I started working for the UFC they were acting like I was doing porn what are you doing and I was like yeah I'm going to Alabama to do post-fight interviews for a cage fighting event no the fuck is wrong with you that's because you're fucking original they don't know what that is well it was just no one had done it right there was no nobody good slash Cagefighting commentators find me another whatever but it was just one of those things where like I was like I don't care I'm gonna do this cuz I want to do this and then they were like you really shouldn't do this like this probably bad for your career I'm like whatever I don't even know what that means I'm just gonna do what I like to do tell me again where you had left off about the the Mencia thing with the karlon so he made some sort of sneaky backdoor deal with the store to have them banned me and he would put his name on the marquee which he never did would do before like he would do spots they would just show up and bump people that was this thing you like to just show up and he didn't didn't let them put his name on the marquee and sell tickets with his name because he would do big venues around town this was around you know the mind of Mencia days he was a big star you know he was selling out large theatres he was doing really well and I wasn't doing as well with stand-up I was on fear factor and I was doing pretty good with comedy but I was mostly doing clubs he was more advanced career-wise if I'm being honest and so when they said that to me that I was banned and I knew it was wrong I'm like I know I go you guys are your cell art you sell art this is what you sell like use this you have an art store it's just it's a spoken art and you are you're basically taking the side of someone who's stealing a vampire you give a vampire of all the other performers not just a vampire but someone would who if you were going onstage he would go on before you and do your closing bit and then bring you up there was a lot of dark shit going on people were scared they had lights they would flick in the back of the room when he was there to let you know if he wants these guys would just stop doing their act I was a very was not good it was not good it was it was accentuated by his celebrity when he became famous it got WAY worse but it always existed he was always a thief and so I I said okay I'm not coming back I'm let you know like you think this is gonna be like a two-week deal or something like this you can go fuck yourself I'm not coming back so just make make this decision understand this is not this is not a temporary thing where to ban me for a little while and I'm going back and forth with the manager well mid-cycle don't tell me mitts he said because I was on the phone with Mitzi an hour ago before this and I told Mitzi what was going on I told Mitzi that we are gonna make this video about him stealing material because it was a horrible situation there and I told her I'm like I go you know this is just what it is she was all right just keep away from him she was when you want to go up and I go when you want to put me up she was all right how about 10:30 I go perfect I love you because I love you too it's last time I talked to her last time I talked to her then they call me an hour later and say I'm banned and I'm like what are you talking about I just got off the phone with Mitzi I go who's running the fucking store you were running this har you're you you're running the store I work for you get the fuck out of here and so I got furious and I just started working the improv and I did the ice house and I just said okay this is what I do now I don't work at the store anymore and the store I put the store's phone number on my my blog and told everybody the whole story and I'm like feel free to call them and let him know how I feel and it was a ghost town there for years you know what yeah it did I crashed that place yeah yeah yeah so what brought you back Ari Shaffir was doing his comedy special he was filming and add an atom egit you know Adam I'd known add I like Adam I love Adam and he was he'd been on the podcast before - I've seen him Adam was at the Tempe improv years before that and I became friends with him when I worked there and then he came over and started being the talent coordinator at the store and they came to visit me at the improv he said we'd love to have you at the store there's like Tommy doesn't work there anymore he's gone was the manager that I had the issue with right and Mincey had long been just he had long been outcast from the comedy community like that video and the subsequent all these other comedians coming out and telling stories about him everything fell apart and this is what I told them was gonna happen I was like this is not it's not gonna go away this is real this is not like people make mistakes they accidentally do someone's bit because they forget it was someone's bit or you come up with do come up with the same thing people yeah there's a lot but there there's good people and then there's people that are victimizing people and he was one of those that was victimizing people and what the worst I've ever seen and so this had happened and I knew when Adam came to visit me at the improv I knew why I knew Adam was a good guy and I thought about it but I was like I can't I'm not I can't I can't go back there and then Ari was doing his special and our was filming his special in the bar and Ari was one of my best friends and I had been friends with Ari from the time that he was a doorman and I was like he had gone through this journey of being a doorman - I started taking him on the road with me so I take him on the road and we would do all these gigs together and now here he is he's got his own television show and he's doing a fucking Comedy Central special and he's filming it at the store I'm like I gotta be there so I came there on Tuesday night he was filming on Wednesday I came in on Tuesday night and I was there for ROS battle and Jeff Ross introduced me to the crowd and I got to see Rose battle and it was Wild Rose battle was wild it was so beautiful was like it was creative and it was fun and it was packed I was there one night being a judge Jeff brought me and said Bob you got to come down you don't know you don't know it's wonderful if it comes back it still is so cool but it'll come back and then the next night I came back and I saw Ari I've watched already film is special and I said okay I'm gonna start doing shows and so I think you know like a couple days later I did my first show back there that was it then you were there and you were playing almost every night of the week was there a lot yeah until the lockdown I was there many days week I'm gonna come back and do it right and sign up put my name on the thing I do drop-ins but they're five minutes I don't know you don't want to drop in I know I don't I don't I want to do sets and what I was doing to drop it it's just it would be just - I wasn't sure you know I wasn't sure that I wanted to go up and be part of a lineup is it competitive to people take your stuff to people no there's none of that there now there's none of that that was my you know I've PTSD from eight years right and I was at a love affair with Mitzi I was like a nephew to her so I was kind of like family even at her funeral I was like family even though I hadn't been around but there was one time in Vegas where I had a weird experience and I was trying to keep somebody sober and I had to stay up all night to keep them sober so that she didn't find out and as a result I hadn't slept and I had a week set in Vegas at the dunes and then after the set she came backstage and said you've lost it you're not funny anymore oh no and that was like you don't say that to a sensitive jou comic neurotic motherfucker didn't give a fuck though dude she had zero filter no and and you know what happened it hurt me and it's just like you teach in martial arts to the kids it's like well I better get fucking funny yeah I better get funny again and I just have to use another ain't no excuses no you get it and I just worked harder and harder and now I mean I want to do I might do some drive-ins I don't know what I'm gonna do but I I'm enjoying the podcast thing because I get to and I call people and talk to them and that's an interplay with people good to fuck around a little and I have some guests that you've had that I love people that are friends and but the point is I'm born this I'm born to do this you're born to do this and she was just teaching me something and she loved me and I loved her but she got really sick sigh and you know it was really tragic some people hated her and some people loved her all the way to the end I loved her I know she helped me yeah she helped me to me who wasn't for her hoots when I became a paid regular that was like the most important day of my life at that moment like I was like holy shit I'm a real comedian I'm a paid regular see I didn't know what that meant I showed up one night and then they put on the website Bob Saget paid regular and I wrote to the email or I don't know I texted somebody whoever did the thing I went you don't have to call me a paid regular I mean you know you can say I showed up yeah he goes no no you don't understand it honor I like but I don't take the pay I never take hey I'm paid regular I don't but I didn't realize it is a rite of passage like a badge of honor it is it was stripes it was something important when that happened I was like oh my god because like I said when I started out in 88 the Comedy Store was Mecca that was the place like I oh I wanted to be there that was where Richard Pryor performed that was where Kinison performed those where Hicks performed I wanted to go there and when I was there I was actually there it was a dark time and I was there in 94 was a shithole oh fuck I went in when it was over when it was empty I mean you know 20 P it was socially distanced well it was a there's a perfect for now a bad run for about six years where it wasn't very good from 94 to around 2000 and somewhere around 2000 started picking up again if Paulie Paulie really stepped in and Peter Peter did a lot right well it's just better talent kids started coming around right that's how it was it's like there was a lot of guys who would I think there was a week this is my own personal theory and I'm only basing it on the timeline of kinnison's death Kinnison left the comedy store somewhere around like 90 and then he died somewhere around like 92 somewhere around there 93 and then the you know so many guys had gone off and done sitcoms and like Jim Carrey had gone off and done movies and in living color and there wasn't there wasn't that many people there and then there was also a lot of really bad talent there was a lot of that's that that's that is a fact there are people that could have been accountants and instead chose comedy as a career and they learned how to walk the stage yes and they learned how to hold the mic and they learned how to talk to the audience right they're like a plumber they learn a trade it's not and they weren't even good at it that the performer you don't want the plumber that's gonna blow your toilet up yeah the plumber puts the wrong gasket and it runs so I saw a lot of those guys and I was really disappointing like I was like one of my first nights there I remember there was like 15 20 people in the audience the the acts were terrible I was like this is so weird this is the Comedy Store that's why I stayed away because it made me sad but then every now and then like Martin Lawrence would show up every now and then Damon Wayans would show up every now and then da Marrero would show up every now and then someone would show up and I showed up I wasn't there when you were there that sucks I didn't see you there for many many years many years but that's why I was asking about like the full house days was it hard that's interesting because it's great because you were you had a dirty act blue until after and full house in the video show were simultaneous and they were family you know seven o'clock at night on a Sunday I'm hosting videos I can't say here's another fucking video you know you can't do that right and I didn't say fuck that much in fact few years ago dice called me go Saget I gotta tell you something to see each other but also you know what man you stole my shit after you after full House ended you stole my I said what did I steal well you didn't used to say fuck as much oh I stole fuck was he joking kind of but not really with anyone at the tour with me so it was kind of like si dice always pranking you I love him he's always half fucking with you I started going on the road because of dice I was just doing the store and this is when I was on news radio and one day he were in the back gonna say you should go on the road and I'm like yeah he goes yeah you're funny he goes you don't wanna be fucking beholding these cocksuckers he goes these motherfuckers in the movies and their shows he goes he goes you go on the run we gave him a good living you know I was thinking about I was like why don't I go on the road so I just started booking gigs I literally just listened to him it's first of all you know I'm 27 years old I can't believe dice is talking to me right and then I'm talking to dice like and then he tells me to go on the road it was like he's right why don't I go on the road so I started doing gigs here and there you know and then when I really started going on the road like we're really was when I left the store that 2007 time when I left the store that's when I started touring that's what I really started touring because I was kind of angry too I was like you know I put all that time into that place and and I was I thought what we were doing like that Mencia thing I thought that was we're doing the right thing I thought that was a real problem and so when that was the reaction was like okay I'm gonna show you motherfuckers I had this this attitude like I'm gonna show you and then I did my best work ass there's nothing wrong with that yeah that was my best work was after that because I was you know my best my first real big special was 2009 which is two years after that and then you know and I don't have any hate for that dude and I hope he gets better like I hope he's doing great I really do I think I think he has learned his lesson from hope he has I hope people forgive him too I don't I think that's a problem you know I think many people have had it you know some very famous people have had it no I don't mean that yeah many people have had that like Robin Wright you know a lot of people had that that and his and his loss is so and his talent is so gigantic that he was just a vacuum cleaner of stuff he didn't yeah yeah and I loved him beyond he was he's he was so yeah he said he's he's from every hundred years of Robin comes here this is what it's I don't you you brought up what was going on doing those family shows and then doing Stan yeah Richard Jeni comes into play Harris it's kind of an interesting thing you brought him up cuz he hits me in the solar plexus I did a special while the two shows were in the top ten full house and America's Funniest Home Videos such long names to say they sound like I'm saying porn when I say the names of it shit it's like dirty to me full house oh that's a filthy Bob but I love doing family entertainment that's my many different sides I love doing stuff the whole family can watch together I don't look at that and go oh fuck that that's bullshit you know that's that's not the cynical guy that can come out and be blue for the sake of blue I wasn't blue for the sake of blue I just did what I did you know just like you did what you did you know you're UFC stuff it's like I wasn't doing anything athletic but but to I did an HBO special and it did well but in the ratings or whatever but was not good and I I made it so you can't see it and Richard Jeni loved it and he would say to me I loved that special and I was I was saying fucking it but it was like an hour long and it took a half an hour it was about me being in a dream trying missing my gig so I was trying to make a film because I want to be a filmmaker and then the next half-hour was basically a half hour stand-up and I just didn't do any of it right you know and but there were a couple really funny moments and a couple good bits and Richard told me he thought it was one of the funniest specials and most inventive that he'd ever seen and that I was always thrown by that and and and I started to get more like well what I want to do in standup and I was like I just want to make people laugh I just went up and then when the show's ended I started directing some stuff and then I did a special called that ain't right and that was the HBO special that upset a lot of people and also put me in Rolling Stone and a Newsweek and all that was because it was dirty a lot because I was I was at my check matter as well know yeah a little bit I used fuck as a verb a few times I don't I you know you know if it's expressive right but it was your shoot I mean it's what I said because that's what you had always been doing but they didn't expect that out of you because they wanted full house and America's Funniest Home but who would go to see that what am I going to do hug people and clean you know well they wanted a sort of Howie Mandel thing look how he's blue he is blue sometimes but not anymore no stand up yeah so I'm at the Laugh Factory was actually talking about the dangers of doing a bit that could get him fired from the show oh he had she talked about that on stage that if he says anything wrong I mean he's on the squeakiest of squeaky family entertainment you know he went from Deal or No Deal to this other thing he's doing now what does the America's Got Talent or yeah yeah you mean he's I've been talking to him a lot he's a great guy he's a great guy and he's had a lot of mental health issues that he talked about in a book and his OCD is just the outskirts of it how about now with the fucking coronavirus hold on a germophobe yeah have the whole world right Kylie so by the way somebody wrote that down the whole world is Howie Mandel now yeah I says something like he's a prophet I forget who it was I forget who wrote it was Gaffigan someone someone said that like that someone had a glove I love Jim he's great but anyway so you know I don't know why people think that you're like a character you play in something well because he played that character for a long time for so long and this was pre social media this is pre podcast they just associate like Bill Cosby okay for the longest time people thought Bill Cosby but I got it out today bill always was offended that I talked blue on stage cuz he said you don't need it and when I would see him I would almost hear Lucky's saying motherfucker in between what would it bill cosby think about Kennison I want to know that I would have loved to seen that I'm sure he just he just disapproved anything blue but the truth is look what he acted out in his real life I would do it that is why yeah that's the boys club that he was in my boys club or I hate to say that because it's so misogynistic but it was a guy that looks like you I know what I look like I look like your dentist your accountant or somebody maybe your gynecologist if it's a good week but not yours but but I'll continue I swear I just had a moment of doing like 10 of those that go nowhere but but the truth of it is for me to say that is the joke for me and that gets nowhere also so I have to have content and the more specials I did and the more I've done stand-up like I was about to shoot a new one this year I've got like an hour and a half of stuff of course so everybody's gonna have 12 minutes of kovin but I don't know what it's gonna be but it was really I was about to talk about racial injustice ready to go cuz I've got all this stuff when I was a kid and segregation and I was living it and didn't understand it when I was 6 7 years old in Virginia so it was like I started to have more much more in much more intent in what I want to do right now and make people laugh I got to throw a dick joke again just to make myself happy well stand-up comedy is supposed to be here's the world through my eyes whenever some other comic comes along and tells you not to do your version of reality then go eat shit and usually there's something wrong with them and that's obviously the case of Bill Cosby there's something wrong with him a hundred percent his need to have everyone deliver this g-rated comedy was you know he was he had some dark dark shit going on the back of his head and I fucking looked up to him so much when I was young I'd watch him on I spy with Robert Culp and it was just you probably didn't watch it back because I'm older he was so great and then you know he got his doctorate after just two years they gave him a free one at Temple on with the temple university also but I graduated and I didn't you know tranquilize people and ejaculate congratulations thank you for into the non ejaculation clause but he you know you can't preach and then be full of shit it's less when he got away with for his whole life though I think that's how he like covered his tracks like nobody would believe it who raped you Bill Cosby oh go on there's no way that's what they would think and I guarantee you that was part of what was the hustle was it's like a priest I give if no one knew that priests rape kids and then you came home and said mom the priest raped you me your mama Billy what the fuck Boy Scouts look I mean there's a fucking ad right now yeah I can't believe this an ad I'm glad does it matter what do you mean there's an ass commercial if you if you've been sexually molested Scoutmaster yeah yeah so all this shit that's that's the cleaning that seems to be happening that's positive that people are getting called on stuff that's been going on for thousands of years and in this country for hundreds of years and terrible terrible terrible shit so that I that's a good calling out that's a good I mean well that's calling out is one way to look at it but what's really happening is the the lines between reality in for truth information and people like how how accessible is truth it's their way it's there's way less distance to travel to find out reality than they used to be and we we're remapping our version of the world because of that and you know this is what we're seeing with everything with police brutality so we're seeing with taxes that's what we're seeing with with government and the environment and you know climate change and fill-in-the-blank every city every woman demmick it's just a giant fucking representation of all of it what's a wake-up call to all of us that there has been way less funding and planning and strategy to deal with pandemic viruses than should have ever been put in place Bill Gates warned us about this in 2015 I know a lot of people think Bill Gates is the devil now for some reason I do pay attention that yeah they think Bill Gates is like trying to depopulate the world or some shit I don't know I don't know whether to get off Facebook tick tock I don't know them there's a guy in when they were trying to keep Huntington Beach or Long Beach open they would know wasn't Long Beach it wasn't Huntington Beach it was Huntington Beach it's a Republican area right so they had all these people in the street we're not gonna wear a mask we're not gonna stay inside it was the early days of the pandemic right and this guy's going you know do not wear a mask do not give in Bill Gates of the devil he was yelling this is like pre George Floyd all that shit now remember that topped off the madness of that particular moment like Bill Gates the devil think I mean and Microsoft the guy we wear sweaters sound like it was crazy to listen to people do believe we're all over the fucking place people are all over and it's like one sides over here so liberal that I'm not allowed to say anything I'm talking about just how it not as a narcissist but as a human artist how it affects me how it affects you and then everybody's over here so far right it's fundamentalists on both sides can't we just cut off the little hand on each side and just have just a or Cantwell everybody have a if there has to be a dream disc listen it's not gonna this is this is how change happens you have to correct Polar's you have to have polar opposites yes this is just an electron de mentalism it man it is yeah the same thing you see on the left is you see on the right their ideology varies but what their goal is is the same their goal is compliance they want you to listen they want to have power and control and then there's people that are fairly reasonable that can see other people's perspectives that lean towards the middle those are the healthy people but these people that want you to use 78 different gender pronouns and they only want to give money expect keep up I've made so many mistakes it's not mistakes man well I did a thing in Austin which we both love and I did a thing for the ally coalition and it's it's for the LG I always fuck it up it's LGBT Q cubed Q is questioning or queer it change was yeah its questioning or or queer at that moment hey now you know is in there too what is that asexual I got thrown in the mix I'm fine with that so I'm not throwing I'm not I did a joke at that game I did it call I did it for them because they're a wonderful organization that helps a lot of people and it was it was I loved it and I was with Jay Pharoah who I loved being with and bunch of people bunch of comedians were on the thing and I was the I guess the headliner of the thing that they brought in this gorgeous structure I don't know you've seen it it looks like at the inside of a Mac store but it's outdoors in Austin it's like a monolithic looking cool thing and so I made a joke something about LGB I did all the letters and then I said that's my record locator on my flight and that got an awful quiet response and I didn't understand it because I was I'm with them but I'm not making fun of them I'm part of them maybe the joke just wasn't that good I think so from your response it's possible to you're carrying around your head and then I did another I did a song about transitioning that I'd written for the event transitioning what you know a male to a female and me having a relationship because I do comedy music in the purest way cuz I love writing songs and singing and I've always done that in my standup I started as a musical act that we would all ridicule and and I had to pull before I got to the end of it because it was just it got quieter and I heard crickets and I felt so bad because I was doing it as saying hold on hold on stop stop yeah it was killing I did it on a special but but you're doing it at an lbgtq a positive event that's because I'm a fucking moron yeah and I care about people more I care about all human beings I don't I don't have a racist bone in my I don't understand anything I'm an idiot I'm a fucking what are your dicks racist my dick is so don't thank you thank you you saved me you know science bits it racism but you know that that's not a comedy look I don't do any sort of benefit and the reason why I would just donate money I don't do benefits because it's not my sister scleroderma and I do but do any money no but would you do a tape for my by viral event in October wouldn't do REME inutes on wouldn't do she died Joe I wouldn't die listen to me I wouldn't do acrobatics and a benefit to help people with spina bifida no no we're buying a pivot is hilarious by the way I don't know if you've had it no are crippled okay I'm night you know what I'm saying like you're doing comedy in an event where people are talking about a serious issue that maybe they've been maligned and misgendered and just fucking disenfranchise their whole life and then you're on stage telling you know a questionable joke that wasn't your best joke and then a song about transitioning and you wondering why they're not laughing it's not funny to them cuz it's not it's not a comedy show why do Ramat you gotta think why weren't you in my life sooner you could will you manage me know so here's here's here's the thing the thing that I do I'm part of the slur demur Research Foundation because my sister died of this disease what is this disease it's a hardening of the skin sclera means hardening and derma means skin and a lot of people have it different people people a lot of people and proportionately hits people of African descent not unlike corona virus hits the lungs Queen Latifah's mother passed away from it I know other people who've had it it's it's uh and I lost my sister and my dear friend and the first person to ever do the benefit benefit was Robin Williams and he did it seven times after and we've raised fifty three million dollars and we're curing people it's amazing a blur what do they into remission what did they do for the cure like what how they there's new therapies my sister was mistreated and guinea pig they gave her cortisone and prednisone which drives you fucking nuts and they just tested stuff and the the rheumatologist that did it to her is no longer alive and and how do you sue somebody that didn't know what he was doing but now their centers at Johns Hopkins and at UCSF and Stanford and there are really new drugs like really great ones so it's always been a comedy benefit and their people their patients there and I've always had everybody's done it Chappell did it for me in LA at the Beverly Wilshire and I had it was it was wonderful I mean I think was John Mayer got up on stage and I think it was Ray Romano and wonder if it was gothic I've had almost every comedian do it but Chappelle made me put on the invite and Dave Chappelle might come says deja Paul says he might come and he flew himself out and he did the damn thing and he couldn't do material because we didn't lock up phones and he did a half hour of being the beautiful person that he is that's awesome and so all I was saying was Robin did it seven fucking times so hmm here's my question so Richard Jeni Patrice Brodie you know all these people Sam if chris farley wasn't a stand-up but wider really truly funny people have to die shouldn't there be some kind of universal law Mitch Hedberg Mitch hi bill helix well you know people die bro it's part of life I know but they but but the love when you see Robin Williams to somebody anybody they get emotional you know because he he could have never done stand-up and just acted in movies when 9/11 happened you know about 9/11 right yeah okay can't do that you can't do that joke it's not a joke it's just me being an ass thanks for thanks for sitting through this with me oh I knew I haven't had my shrink in a while you go to a shrink no you smartest fuck so anyway sensory deprivation tank oh dear yeah that's cool yeah you get alone with your thoughts for real I've done it have you yeah I got one here you do yeah it's all salt and the gunner then you play music no two tones mankind knows your thoughts just my thoughts I just do breathing exercises I know that you you know the readings of Terence Mckenna because I was a mushroom boy good friend to his brother it's no shit yeah his brother Dennis is amazing holy crap yeah yeah I was gonna see I was I had a 420 show in Vancouver he lives in BC now he's a expat he bailed out of this fucking wacky country and went to it just as wacky one right fuck but I love Vancouver I mean he picked a good spot I love Vancouver let me just finish the Robin thought please yeah because I apologize so 9/11 happens and I'm home and I'm alone my kids I was divorced my kids were at their moms and all the channels are running the footage for 24 hours and Fox television runs mrs. Doubtfire and I'm like what a great fucking thing they did for me and for people and I know a lot of people that I've talked to over the years that go yeah watch mrs. Doubtfire that night they fucking on their network which was still kind of a new network in a way they ran it and it's a story about divorce and what he would do to get back to his kids yeah and his acting in in that is you know it's a great movie it's a sweet movie that's a movie that I gave as an example when someone saying I because someone was saying that trans people are never funny and a straight person in drag is never funny I go you can't say it's never funny and I said you don't think it's it's never funny when someone pretends to be a woman and the guy says it's never funny I go mrs. Doubtfire Totti well that's a good one too but there's a lot of them mrs. Doubtfire is a very strong example but it's not about that's not about that it's about having to do it the greatest disguise to be able to see his kids yes but he's still pretending to be a woman and it's fucking hilarious yeah yeah yeah well he he was all I was saying was if he had never done stand-up if Robin had just been just been a great actor well know what he's doing now I mean Eddie Murphy was one of the best stand-ups ever stops yeah and now he just does films I have a I have a story for you about him they think you'll dig so I'm hosting the main room thinking I'll never get a career everybody's off everybody's gone Arsenio is gone Howie what do you mean you think you never get a career I was on the road not making a lot of money but in the meantime I would host for years the Westwood store which was no more which was fun actually Sam so you're really young at this time then mm-hmm my 20s you weren't gonna have a career yeah already in your 20s yeah I was depressed all my 20s my all of them that's great I was I'd be on a plane and didn't care if it went down that's how stupid I was really I should have been gone to a doctor that's what I should have done be that depressed so I'm there and I'm hosting and Eddie Murphy comes in and this is not on the bill he didn't call for a spot so Eddie comes in he's working out raw and I don't know that it's raw but then he comes out and he's in I can't remember if it's a blue leather or the red leather suit but he's in one of them and he looks like a fucking god I mean he looks I've never seen anyone more beautiful Oh what I look at oh my god his skin was like butter I mean I wanted to kiss him he's still beautiful he's he's amazing he's one of the most but he wanted to be the Beatles of comedy he is he is so I'm the host on a Friday night and it was Sam's gonna go on later and he comes out and the place standing ovations the walls shake and he does about 50 minutes on a Friday night Wow and I'm watching it and it's good and it's and I'm laughing and I'm seeing in he's working he's working it yeah that's why he's there and he's getting and he's getting ready for something because he's dressed in his wardrobe for what will be the suit that's gonna be the show the movie and then he finishes and it and it great applause standing ovation but what you would expect I was there the next four I was there all the time I lived there which is why I went away for a long time besides work happened I was on Broadway and whatever the fuck happen just on the street you know I'm just begging but I but a week later a week one week later the following Friday he comes out in the other color suit I don't know if it was blue or red I'm feeling it was blue that that other Friday one Friday later and I asked had he gone up at The Improv or laugh factor anywhere and they said no he comes up and he does an hour and tenth standing ovation when it starts I watched how great he is with my own eyes ears and heart it was I never saw anything like it I've though when he was done he had crushed it so strong in a way that was so fuckin funny cuz it was it had a motion in it and it had talked about racism and it talked about just fine it was dirty and it was great and the wall literally the building shook and that buildings got like dead mobsters underneath it that's very solid that building this cement down there I'm not kidding the wall I thought it was an earthquake I didn't it was minutes minutes of applause and I come back on stage you know and he's face to face with me and I go that that was fucking amazing and he just gave me a a nod like yes sir and then he was gone and he was always very kind to me too but I got to see that I got to see in one week what brilliance it took for him so what do you think he did do you think he just went and reviewed the material and if he didn't perform it all that week he must have so not necessarily know I think not necessarily is the answer no I think he just did what we do when we're good and went over it and over it and over long as he worked at it there's no way you didn't work at it well sometimes he just he didn't just leave it there but sometimes it's not that sometimes it's just inspiration sometimes you feel different sometimes you just feel better like sometimes you go onstage just feel loose yeah he's got an idea so and do it you feel physically better maybe like maybe you're more well rested or maybe he didn't like this set the week before so he didn't thinking about it for all that I could tell he didn't after that first set because he was his mind was worrying like it does when we're trying to work it out well listen man that's the weirdest thing about doing a special you leave that material to the ether it's gone and then you start from scratch you have no weapons so here you have these people that come to see you oh my god it's Bob Saget I love Bob Saget I'm so excited and you ain't got shit for them I did that scrambling never did that after my look every time I do a set of the Comedy Store after my special comes out I don't have anything I have a few scraps I have a few ideas how a few premises you know this last time I got lucky that I had a couple that I couldn't really do my last special and I never really fleshed out I could start with them I could kind of get going get get a little bit of momentum and then piece together an act but that desperation is what creates your your act that's this last after that happened and what I could feel what was happening in the world the past and you could too for the past year year and a half of what was what we were going toward with Trump at the helm and all of the shit that's been happening and all the people at each other so I it started happening fast where new stuff was coming to me and I was reflective over my life and and reflective over real things more real things not just a bunch of nonsense or just so you wanted to do more real thoughtful story-tell things that mean something to you rather than just jokes but I'd but I can't help myself as you could apparently tell without taking little asides to throw in something that's just like fucking what would you say that you want to do this dork how much time were you working how much are you doing quite a bit I've been on the road and I've been wanting to be on the road more than I've ever wanted to be on the road Wow that so up until pandemic I was set to go to Canada and they closed Canada the day before actually they closed that the day after I pulled on Vancouver and they were basically just touring back and forth and just doing a lot a lot of clubs getting everything a lot of clubs that fit a theater a bunch of theater runs little theater runs now it's not big ones line everything nice and loose yeah and when we think about filming I was gonna go fall this year me too I was already I know where I'm gonna shoot it I don't even want to say because I have some views cool shit that I have that I want to do that it's part of the place if part of it but it's just then I can't look like it's bad I can't feel like it's just gonna what we're all going through is just gonna make me mene mene even more everything we're gonna get to do when there's a vaccine when we find out if their vaccine works fine huh what the fuck all this is when we get to go out and really do a room that's a hundred percent full and we don't know it you don't know it's coming with your big dates coming up I don't think they're all getting canceled if I had a guess I mean unless something happens between I mean I'm supposed to Madison Square Garden October have you played there before yeah I've played the smaller room but I'm doing the big room in Boston Garden back-to-back two weeks in a row other fucker and I don't know if that's happening Chappell and I have a bunch of gigs so I don't know if that's happening but you'll just move them you'll just move them a year right yes a year a year's likely but even then we don't what kind of a climate are we looking at what is the world gonna be like that's the least of my concern right now I mean doing stand-up is great I would I would like to do stand-up again right what's a selfish cancel right right now I just wanna look if we'd never do stand-up again man life is beautiful I want to appreciate life when I appreciate my friends I want appreciate my family I appreciate being able to do this podcast this has been one of the nicest things that there's a place that I could sit and hang out with people and talk and learn like our this podcast has made me grow a lot as a human being it has a lot I've well I've listened and watched it's uh it's shifted my perspective it's made me way more aware of how much responsibility I have doing this thing when we first started doing this podcast it was you know me and Brian Redman and you know whoever the guest was Joey Diaz or Eddie Bravo or Ari Shaffir or whatever it was and it would be like a thousand people listening at the most you know again like a thousand downloads would be crazy and so we got to practice when there was like no stakes and you could still listen to them and some of them are terrible and some of them are getting me in trouble now because some of the ridiculous shit we said right trying to make each other's laugh but that led to this and did you for whatever reason we just kept doing it or I just kept doing it it became this did you have any vision in your mind that it would be what other people look at as like an empire no fucking chance no he just did it just did it I'm a grinder I'm a person that I see something and I try to get better at it and I know that I had a bunch of podcast that weren't that good and so I go what was wrong with that one well I talk too much or maybe I interrupted too much or maybe I didn't have enough to say about the subject so maybe I should be more prepared maybe I should write be more focused and then I really what what is what's a distraction like make sure people don't look at their phones make sure you're locked in be really engaged be in the moment in the conversation be better at that and I just kept doing it that's kind of you're an influence on me in a huge regard because I didn't come to podcast because every fucking person on the earth saw the kid across the street has a podcast you know might think IUP s guy the other day had a podcast really no but it's okay but I I'm like on number 33 and I'm I'm learning very fast cuz I'm a broadcaster you know I had I know how to do things but it's not it's it's a conversation that's why I'm so drawn to what you do it's people listening this is the most thing and it's and if they love it and they and they need it but it's also you have to listen to the way you sound you have to listen to the way the conversations going like it has to be there has to be something in what you're talking about and the way you're talking that makes people want to listen I don't know how to teach that I know I mean I don't know I think but you get better at it it's a skill there's something to it that's just like everything else man it's like I don't play the piano but I would imagine it's like playing the piano or learning any other skill the more time and focus you put into it the better you get at it and it's to me it's it's fascinating still to this day if I get a scientist in here or a researcher or someone who's writing a book on something Elon Musk with a flamethrower yeah it's fascinating I having those conversations I'm I'm locked in man I love it I enjoy it and I never never thought I'd be doing this and this is not a plan there was no plan - this isn't that the best it's great I don't know if it's the best but it's great well it's the best i-i think it's the best because it comes from an organic place and that's why it worked that's why it works I mean that's why it's got even I don't know if you read but you're you're you're you're moving it I don't know if you're read about it yeah that's right here some people that work for me to tell me that yeah that's moving somewhere I can't remember where but I just moved it somewhere big apparently yeah I you know and that's it that's what mine fuck too because now it's like there's more scrutiny on it there's more people paying attention and criticism and everything but it's also it's like I just keep doing it I just keep going and I just keep focusing on that and that's the real challenge right as it gets bigger can you keep doing it the way you're doing it can you keep getting high and get drunk and have friends here and just talk shit yeah I'm gonna see until the wheels fall off kkeok they're not gonna fall off because you're a special guy I'm just telling you I'm 64 I could say shit like that what if when you're 62 did not let you know I wasn't allowed I was talking to Norman Lear the other night it's gonna be 98 how's he doing he's fuckin genius on the ball at night we were we had a zoom with a bunch of music guys like I said and he is one of the most beautiful people I've ever I will ever know which is born into being sharpened 90 airs about humanity he you know he changed television he gave us all in the family and Sanford and Son and of good times in the Jeffersons isn't it crazy that none of those shows you could do today but they're doing them they are doing the live ones on ABC Jimmy Kimmel in here doing those what all the family and these ever since have been running up new episodes what did Woody Harrelson's archie bunker shot erisa to may is Edith shut the fuck out sorry you really need to Google this is this actually happens Janek a couple months ago what yes before the

people I love dl 92 I think he could do it so he was on stage and saying he's in Nashville and he passes out and he's got coronavirus I know how good is his tour manager that caught him as he was falling asleep yeah I'm not amazing could have had his head crowd oh for sure he was going down you know what I'm sure this is what I was saying about all these comedians that we love and I got I'm so fed up with that cuz i I'll of comedian so much I started I don't reach out to DL that often but we see each other once in a while I started texting were you okay it's Bob Saget please don't think I'm weird I can't fucking take I can't fucking take it anymore you please don't think I'm weird and then Mary text me back he's laughing he's good I'm okay I said well I wrote something else I'm sorry I texted you then the next day I called him I said what the fuck man how sick are you because I'm okay I'm okay he doesn't seem to be that sick I saw him talking no it seems okay bit of a cough you know Bryan Callen got it yeah and he's fine now he was wrong mechanism his instruments pretty together well he didn't take any medication Brendan Schaub his friend took medication and he was fun for days encounter took him like 11 or 12 but he's fine now he said it feels good I'm concerned with long-term effects from anybody that has this because I was talking to a friend of mine who is a doctor who's saying he's treating a basketball player who three months and a guy in his 20s three months after kovat is still having issues with his endurance he hasn't gotten his endurance back to where it is like his his lungs are not working at full capacity so there's perhaps some damage or something saying for people their scarring yeah that happens fucking terrifying you know what is this Jamie scans reveal heart damage and over half of kovat 19 patients and study oh great maybe they should go with more patients there was something else I could send this to you there was another well it's not necessary but it was essentially saying that in the autopsies that they're doing on people who died of kovat they're finding blood clots and all of their organs and their liver their lungs or kidneys everywhere yeah this is a fucking weird disease man and they don't know if the vac and what I've been hearing with the vaccine they don't know if you get it if it doesn't if it can keep you safe they don't know no no but they don't know first of all they don't know if a vaccine is gonna be even possible normally it takes a vaccine upwards of four years to develop and they're trying to do this in fast-track it and they're also trying to do something called an mRNA vaccine it's a different kind of vaccine that doesn't use a live version of the virus but instead forces your body to create proteins I don't see if we could pull up what that means MRR like remember I'm a moron so when I say these things even though I use the right words I really don't know what the fuck I'm saying very important are you becoming me mRNA virus so you begin em excuse me mRNA vaccine but it's not saying what it like that's it with a profession of mRNA vaccine messenger RNA messenger RNA see it does something to the body and forces the body to create proteins that fight off the virus another thing that's really important is vitamin D they are fighting and this is what you were talking about with African Americans having a particular problem with kovat African Americans have a particular problem with vitamin D as well because of course with their skin color their ancestors all came from Africa where your body had all this melanin to protect itself from constant sunlight so they didn't have to worry about absorbing so much vitamin D from the Sun they were in the Sun all the time this is the reason why Irish people are so fucking pale the reason why they're so fucking pale is because where they are there's no goddamn Sun so their body has to be like a solar panel for vitamin D your body produces vitamin D because of sunlight and it's not just a vitamin sits it's actually a hormone which is I'm really busy getting into this lately do you take a lot of supplements vitamin D yes my wife's a thousand IU's a day so I was talking to your guys before I came in here and they were saying yes she got it I've been out in the sunlight cuz I've been out go to the pool that's like Hawaii for my wife and I and she's you know that's been helpful it feels good that's good but you're also getting a little bit of sun damage there too right you got to be careful about that yeah I put on the shit but is that protecting you from vitamin D as well probably what you should do is get blood work done and find out where your vitamin levels are it's not hard to do go to a good doctor they can do blood work my wife wanted me to take supplements she says she as right before I came in here she said that's what I've been trying you don't take vitamins she said I do I do but I don't take too many vitamins you should go to a doctor that really understands this kind of shit and could look at your blood work and say hey you need niacin you need vitamin D you're low in zinc and all those things protect you is it a normal doctor or is it a person that'll talk afterwards yeah you have a body that is deficient in nutrients that body lacks the the strength to prevent illnesses it's the the part of what your immune system is is your your body has a an army that fights off bad diseases right and when your body doesn't have any building blocks your body doesn't have any nutrients your body is is deficient and all sorts of critical nutrients that it needs for all these different functions it's not gonna do the job it's real simple when your body's weak it's not gonna do the job but fortunately for us in 2020 you can take supplements and vitamin D is not expensive it's not prohibitive but it has a huge impact one of the things that they're showing is that and this is something that dr. Rhonda Patrick talked about when she was on the podcast she went over all these different studies that they've done in places where kovat patients were in the ICU and in one of them and it's several but one of them that can recall 80 plus percent of the people that were in the ICU for four kovat had vitamin D deficiency four percent had sufficient levels of vitamin D and there's multiple studies that point to the exact same thing is that this is it's critical in your body's ability to fight off illness and particularly effective with kovat so when you're talking about African Americans one of the things my doctor told me was that when he was doing tests in Manhattan with African Americans some of them had non detectable levels of vitamin D so these are people that first of all their ancestors come from a climate where they're supposed to be in the Sun all the time now they're not because they're in this northern hemisphere cloudy they're it's in the winter they're not getting anything on the Sun and they're not taking any vitamins so they're just not getting it it makes them particularly susceptible another thing that makes people particularly susceptible is obesity that that is according to my friend who's a doctor in New York is a huge factor in people that are in the I see that quite a bit obesity is a huge factor obesity vitamin D those are two big ones zinc zinc does something that stops the the virus's ability to get into the body I don't know how that works but something about your body's the the virus's ability to enter into the body is somehow or another stop by zinc I've always had a problem taking too many supplements I went on a lot of kicks I had doctor a couple doctors recommend certain vitamins and D was one of them for sure and biotin and he's fucking huge man most people it upset your stomach cuz like see upsets my stomach I don't know I has an acidic stomach it just what I'm talking about it feels like it's burning a hole through it when I take a vitamin C well you take it with food that's what I've done wrong right where's well fart it's like a white cloud a white cloud yeah you look like mere white far how do you know it's who doesn't I mean you never looked over and farted in them here over the shoulder I don't think I have maybe we should do a photo session maybe not let's say not and not we didn't you should take vitamins with food most vitamins are they get to take them better for or after well I think the best way to do is probably the middle of your meal like eat when you're when you're eating violence which I've seen a lot of photos yeah a lot of elk pictures would you take the D in the middle of four pieces of them do you take them yes I have a hard time telling people to do what I do and basically everything cuz they're not only my name cuz you're kind of like perfect humans but they're not gonna do it they're not gonna do what I do physically they're not I might take advice I have a stack of vitamins it's like it's like this like a fucking Monopoly board and I pull those bad boys out when I eat and I pour four of these and two of those and ten of those and I just eat those and I eat them with my food that's what I do when I'm eating I'll stop in the middle of the meal and I go out and I get my box and I have a box let me ask you a question right fish oil right yeah what does it do it is probably not a good topic but what does it do to your stool what happens I don't know I always do it you have a nice one is it regular shit alright is it tapered like a fucking hammer bro comes out hard residual or no it's a shit oh shit okay so it's not in compartments it doesn't come out all separate like vitamins no you don't like shit like forty vitals no shit cat has anything to do with your shit it's uh would you know just your shit comes from food waste that's what shit is yeah I didn't know that it's mostly fiber for a lot of people when you eat meat only that's what's interesting yeah you were on that you lost a bunch of weight on that yeah I did when I did that I had smaller shit's it was interesting I was like I was eating a lot of meat but like your absorbs it and you know it's meat is mostly water right so you've got like the the the tissue and then the water and the amount that your shit is surprisingly small whereas when you're eating a lot of salad and you're eating a lot of likes raillery and fibrous foods all that stuff your body doesn't really digest it but it's just for you right I don't know I don't really saying that we need to have our vegetables around everybody some people are saying you need to have the vegetables and then there's some people that are on this carnivore diet that say you don't need any vegetables some people are vegan like my wife's a pescetarian she worships fish and I am on I'm be positive blood so I'm your old goes is a humanitarian someone who eats people I've I mean that's gonna happen soon I think we're already happened we're on the but I mean I think this could become popular you think so yeah I think on what if lab created human meat is the best thing to eat at a restaurant it's like the veal we have some beautiful lab created human created Botox you can get it mommy they would have that Mommy has people a restaurant they come out and they have learning those like fucking Bugs Bunny silver things when they pull the top off of it and it's a dude's but it's just a perfect but like out like a athlete hey the best ass today and he's like this we're gonna crock-pot this it's gonna be a beautiful beautiful roast for you and it's not it doesn't not a part of an actual person it was all created in a lab right so someone who's always wanted to eat you guys ass simulated I mean who doesn't pull that top off hunt and show them simulated man ass like if you go to Morton's they combine with this the steak tray yeah and they show you this is the ribeye beautiful I mean they're making lab-created meat why not make lab created human meat you eat that stuff I have never because it's not available but I would try it but not man oh that fake shit ya know the soybeans just terrible my wife gives it to me I don't really love it it's supposed to taste pretty good but it's not good for you it's not good for she made vegetarian or vegan eat vegetables eat actual real vegetables don't eat some fake beef bullshit that's not real food I need my meat I eat meat then yeah I go but it's not supposed to be good for your heart to what people but if you looked into that No yeah see that's the thing that people just keep saying yeah they hear what so you know man sugar sugar and an in fact fine flour no that's not bad for you that's essential you need fat it's actually I thought so I thought it's also good it helps lube up the meat so you can shit better perhaps listen we can go down this rabbit hole but it's already four o'clock it would take a long time from it's for depression to you yes motherfucker I'm flies in this room your your enchanted fuck do you do this you say you talk yeah you have a good time a couple hours passed by Papa I love this was fun glad

Rogan just a few weeks ago “it’s just the flu, it’s like a really bad cold.”

[u/TheJustBleedGod]

I love how he blame's callen for taking so long to recover on him not taking snake oil and not on callen pushing 60

[u/sharbsrogue]

can some homeless cat please do god's work and cut together all the shit this midget has said over the many podcasts talking down on how the virus is just a cold, and masks are for pussies, and to this.

i mean, if someone in the future accuses him of being stupid for him ever suggesting that the virus is man made from a lab in china, he'd be doing the same dance, "i was joking. i was trolling, i wasnt being serious. bla bla bla. its out of context "

[u/wombuster1]

Breadcrumb's going to be heartbroken by that. He's pissed Joe off by lying, a week ago it would of been "my friend Brendan" instead of "Bryan Callen's friend". I can't tawlk b

[u/MaskedDesire]

Insufferable

That Tiffany King allegation against Callen made him unnameable.
