0:35

really the fighter and the kid.

0:39

First thing first, we had a huge show. One

0:42

thousand, buddy. Do we look

0:44

at our boy Brian. Shout out to Brian Johnson.

0:46

He's the best. Brian Johnson came here and

0:48

made that for us, man. Wow. One thousand

0:50

fighter and the kid. That's my tattoo, guys.

0:52

I just found out the tattoo I'm getting

0:55

on my very flat chest. And

0:58

my joke the other day, I said no

1:00

matter what I do when I work out, I

1:02

stay about as muscular as your average mannequin. And

1:05

that's fine. Now, I want

1:07

to just plug Nashville this

1:09

weekend. I know, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

1:11

Zanies, come see me. That's all we're going to

1:13

do. That's what we're doing that

1:15

time. This is one thousand. Let's go. We got

1:17

cupcakes. As soon as you made these cupcakes? Did

1:20

you make those cupcakes? I made those. How'd

1:22

you make them? From what? Scratch. Normal

1:25

cupcakes. But I did do the funfetti because

1:27

I know B likes it. I

1:29

was eating icing out there on my own. You were? I

1:32

need some energy. Let me taste this. A

1:35

little energy. Callan's such a ... Outstanding.

1:39

Aw, thank you. The icing's nothing better. I love Sanaz. Dude,

1:42

one thousand shows, pal. Buddy. More

1:44

than that, though. Buddy, I love you.

1:47

Actually more than that. You

1:49

sent me a fucking video. Sorry.

1:53

I'm sorry. It's really good. You sent me a

1:55

video. And it was a guy who said,

1:58

There are a couple guys you can call at 3am. Yep.

2:01

And I like that you said, all you do is send me a video

2:03

about a soldier saying

2:05

they're the 3 a.m. friends. I think he was

2:08

the Navy SEAL. He said 3 a.m. friends. Like

2:10

all you, you get a call at 3 a.m. You

2:13

just hear them getting their gear together and you

2:15

sent that to me. That's all you had to

2:17

do. That was our intimacy. That was him saying,

2:19

you know, that's how friends who

2:21

are guys talk. When I have to say anything, he

2:23

just sent me a video. And you're the only friend

2:25

I sent it to. You're damn right, I'm the only

2:27

friend. Notice I didn't send her the group

2:29

chats we have. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

2:31

no, no, no. You guys don't deserve that. No, no, no. No,

2:33

no, no, no. No, no, no. You

2:36

don't know. You know with me, I got to do what I got to do. My

2:38

wife would be like, what are you doing? I go, I got it. What do you

2:40

want me to do? Hey, thanks for the

2:42

fucking, thanks for the thousand episodes. Thanks for the fucking

2:44

14 years. But I need

2:46

my sleep. Yeah. We've

2:49

been doing a hot second. Yeah. And

2:52

what I'm saying in the post is obviously there's a

2:54

million podcasts now. You gotta realize when we started, it

2:56

was not the landscape was not like this.

2:59

No. No. We're the first, I

3:01

think pro athlete, comic, duo ever. No,

3:04

no, no. That is a fact. No,

3:06

no, no. We're the first. The first.

3:08

Dirty Comedian, Cage Fighter. Yep. Podcasts.

3:11

Podcasts. Okay. Yeah.

3:14

First guys, and this was your

3:16

thing, graphics, selling merch. Yep. Live

3:19

podcasts were your idea. Yep. because

3:22

I'm on the road. Like let's fucking do some live.

3:24

I'm like live pod. What are we gonna do a

3:27

live podcast? We started doing that. And remember I was

3:29

like, no, you can't just sit there with mics and

3:31

talk. That's gonna suck for a live experience. Yeah. And

3:34

then that's where your training came in. You're like, oh, we'll do

3:36

like improv. I don't have bits. I'm like, yeah, we'll write it

3:38

all out. I have a plan. And nobody cares now, but let

3:40

me just say this. If you and I had started now,

3:42

if we were in our, you know, if

3:45

you reverse the time, we were just before, we

3:47

were before people were making that crazy. You

3:49

know, I think about it is, you remember when

3:51

we were kids, especially you, but especially me too,

3:54

when you were kids, there was like seven

3:56

channels. Yeah. And those seven channels were

3:58

popping. They were good. They were good. And

4:01

weren't they fun? And there's a lot of talent

4:03

there. They were good. Yeah, bro. And then cable

4:05

came out and then cable And now streaming's out.

4:07

We're the one the original like channel four

4:09

channel seven channel nine and they're fun and

4:11

we're old timers But

4:13

now that streaming's here now, my dentist has

4:16

a podcast. Yes. Yes. No, my therapist like

4:18

I have a podcast Yeah, if I use

4:20

this bit. Yes. Yes. So it's

4:22

just you know, the the The

4:24

barrier of entry just is blown up and there's

4:26

a lot of talent and or there's a lot

4:29

of talent There's also there's some there's a lot

4:31

of great podcasts. There's a lot of podcasts Duos

4:33

that are good. Yep. Yep, but then that you know,

4:35

there's a lot of awful ones Sure, but that's how

4:38

it goes like there's a lot of horrible shows on

4:40

Netflix a lot of great shows Yeah, but the other

4:42

barrier of entry is nothing now. It was just different

4:44

But we also didn't do it like in the post

4:46

that I made about us It's

4:48

also like yeah, you keep showing up. I told you that

4:50

you're like, where are we gonna do like just show up

4:52

man We said that when we had Connor on yep with

4:54

Conor McGregor on and I remember you said you just looked

4:57

at me and you Go we just keep doing this. Can

4:59

I have a lot of other shit going on? A

5:04

couple of you and I had real come to Jesus moments

5:06

because I was like I don't know if I can do

5:08

the podcast anymore because I'm doing this TV show full-time I'm

5:10

doing this other thing and you said to me you said

5:12

you've been at this for a long time, right? If you

5:14

got a step off, I get it. I remember you said

5:16

boy I was supportive but but my whole thing with it

5:18

It's like I didn't know where it was gonna lead or

5:20

if it was gonna make a ton of money No

5:23

clue, but what I did know it was

5:26

ours. Yeah, and I'm magical it was ours and we

5:28

had so much fun doing it and It

5:32

was ours so it was like, you know when

5:34

I was at e and I got fired for

5:36

you know Same to Atlanta stuff or whatever it

5:38

is. Okay You

5:40

know, I was like, okay When even even

5:42

when like, you know, whatever you lost a

5:45

gig here or whatever happens Okay, yes, this

5:47

was the mother's our mother's like this like

5:49

we could always rely on this and we

5:51

owned it 100% and

5:53

that was my thing with Fox remember with Fox

5:56

So we're way over a thousand episodes because when

5:58

we're at Fox and when we were doing

6:00

a grind at a Brian's basement, when people would call

6:03

in, it was just audible.

6:05

And then I was like, all right, let's start doing video.

6:07

And that's when we talked to Fox. So

6:09

the thousands start when- My garage, it wasn't

6:12

a basement, but I like- Yeah, your garage,

6:14

yeah. So Fox gave us the

6:16

capability to do video and that's where the

6:18

thousand starts. So it's way more than a

6:20

thousand because the previous ones before that. Remember

6:22

Fox, they, to

6:24

their, you know, it's not their fault. They didn't know

6:26

how big podcast it was gonna get. And

6:29

then once we started to get traction, they're

6:31

like, hold up, you guys have advertisers? I'm

6:33

like, yeah, isn't it cool? We got advertisers.

6:35

Remember, there was no agency dealing with this.

6:37

Me and Brian were, really, I was dealing

6:39

with it. And remember CAA was

6:41

like, okay, we want in. I'm like, absolutely

6:43

not. We would never give anybody a piece

6:45

of this, ever. That was my number one

6:47

thing. Nobody touches this. You and

6:50

I worked our ass off. No one's gonna touch

6:52

this. Could we have went farther if

6:54

we had CAA or some of these big management companies

6:56

that came to us? Maybe, I don't know. But my

6:58

whole thing was like, nope. We don't wanna be censored.

7:00

We don't want anyone to deal with it. I remember

7:03

the first time you sent me a picture of a

7:05

check that we made from sponsors. And I was like,

7:08

wait a minute, hold on. I've been

7:10

grinding. And that check just

7:12

came from us talking. You

7:14

know, I was like, wait, we got something here. Cause

7:16

I remember that you were like, not bad, huh? For

7:18

two months or something. And I was like, hey, I

7:20

can, I might be able to pay my bills with

7:22

this final thing. That was a huge

7:24

thing for me as an actor. Cause you never,

7:27

I never had any stability ever. And then remember

7:29

all your acting friends were telling you, leave the

7:31

pod, it's a bad love. My agent was like,

7:33

money on a podcast. My agent had no idea

7:35

what the fuck. My, my, my first wife too,

7:37

my ex-wife said to me, she

7:39

said, cause we were doing the podcast

7:42

for a while and I was just, we were just showing

7:44

up. I wasn't trying to do anything. And she goes, God, your

7:46

podcast is so damn funny. You guys kill me. I

7:48

went, you're listening to it? She goes, yeah, it's

7:50

so quick and funny. It's just so entertaining. And

7:52

I was like, really? Like I didn't get it. You

7:55

know, let's take a little break on episode 1000. It's

7:57

a deal, dude. Yeah. You know, it's a big.

10:00

or maybe it's a photograph. Is

10:02

this your house, Schulte? Does

10:04

he have my bedroom? It's not a house,

10:06

it's a mansion, it's a manor. Well, it's

10:08

New York, just like two bedrooms, right? Yeah,

10:10

apparently. That's a mansion on New York. You

10:12

live in a box no matter how rich you are in New

10:14

York, I don't care what it is, it's a box. Facts, facts.

10:17

Brother, how's life? How's life,

10:19

the new dad, fresh off the Netflix,

10:21

rose? Like, dude. Yeah,

10:24

things are cool, man. The new dad shit is the coolest,

10:26

I'll be honest with you. Isn't that great? I'm

10:28

a new dad. We went

10:30

to music class today.

10:33

Really? How old's your

10:35

boy? Girl, girl? Girl, girl,

10:37

girl, four months old. You've chosen your

10:40

baby's gender, it's not a baby. It's

10:42

great. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

10:45

And end up, yeah, music class. Music class

10:47

at four months. I

10:49

mean, they'll just find any way to just take

10:51

your money. That's what I realized about this is

10:53

like, we were doing it and they

10:55

were like, let's meet at this building, and it wasn't even

10:57

in the building, it was just on the grass. And

11:00

it was like, and this was the thing

11:02

that bothered me the most is that it was

11:04

on the water, but the teachers had the view

11:06

of the water. I think bare

11:08

minimum, if we're gonna pay for a class that's on

11:10

the grass randomly, like anybody could have just showed up

11:13

and they could have told me, what am I not

11:15

gonna, I'm gonna tell my kid they're

11:17

not singing while these people are singing and doing the

11:19

song. But yeah, you guys get

11:21

it. This is something I'm gonna do. You'll see, because my

11:23

kids are in Santa Monica, there is an entire

11:26

industry dedicated to making sure that

11:28

your kids non-problems are taken care

11:31

of. And the slightest,

11:33

at the slightest ADHD, maybe

11:37

there's another thing. Maybe your

11:39

kids should have a minder. Maybe your kids

11:41

should check in with this specialist. And after

11:43

a while you're like, oh, I'm getting fucking

11:46

gained. I'm getting gained. It's

11:48

a business. Scholte, you had Dana

11:51

Wieda on your podcast recently. Usually

11:54

when Dana's on a pod, I know most of it,

11:56

right? Like I'm in the business, so I usually won't

11:58

listen, but I had to listen. on

20:00

the fact that it's not gonna happen. Let's put it

20:02

that way. Yes, listen. Yes,

20:05

I completely get that 100%. Here's

20:08

the thing, it's like, do you want it

20:10

to happen? Absolutely. Do you hope when you

20:12

see Connor partying at his club that it's

20:14

just all gamesmanship and he wants everybody to

20:16

be like, hey, I'm not really training, but

20:18

then maybe he is. But

20:22

I just, the feeling that I have is

20:25

like, uh-oh. But why do you know it's

20:27

not gonna happen? Tell me. I'll

20:30

tell you off there. I'll tell you off there, but Dave, if you're

20:32

a Connor fan, get your money back. Wow,

20:36

dude. You were just back in Dana's good graces,

20:38

man. It's so crazy. You were like right there.

20:40

He can't help himself. And then he throws it

20:43

all away. It's just what he can. I'm trying

20:45

to help my boy out. Y'all don't want you

20:47

getting the wife, the kid, all together flying to

20:49

Vegas and you're hoping you see Connor doesn't happen.

20:51

I'm trying to help you out. Dana understands that.

20:54

No, no, no, no. I'm not doing anything. I'm telling

20:56

him this summer, I gotta take most of this summer

20:59

off, but maybe for Connor, that would be fucking, that

21:01

would be fucking unreal. Wait a minute. Does Connor, wait

21:03

a minute. Here we go. Does Connor

21:05

step in for Tyson? No. I

21:10

mean, he's the only person that could step

21:12

in and then the fight still goes on.

21:14

That's rather intriguing. He's the

21:16

only, who else could step in and then the fight goes on. Like,

21:19

I don't want to see Jake fight Logan. I

21:21

don't give a fuck. No, I think Jake's gonna

21:23

fight Mike Perry. But that, hold on, but that

21:25

you're conflicting. That's not a replacement of Mike Tyson.

21:27

Mike Tyson and Jake are still fighting, but it's

21:30

not till December. Gotcha. November, I

21:32

think. November or December, yeah, end of the year. Yeah.

21:34

I'd love to see that. I'd love to see the

21:37

trash talking. I'd love to see the whole thing go

21:39

on. But just logistically, it's never happening, right? Cause he

21:41

has one fight left on his UFC. It's fun to

21:43

talk about, but the UFC would never allow that down.

21:45

Yeah, he's got to fight. He's got to fight one

21:47

more time. But he has one more. I'm trying to

21:49

think of the people that have the cache, that have

21:51

the pull to fill that void. The void of Mike

21:53

Tyson being there, the only other human being that I

21:55

can think that has enough star power at this point

21:58

is Connor. I

28:00

think the reason I won, not because I was

28:02

good, but we were practicing, like we would throw

28:04

hands like boxers. Yeah, you know, we were doing

28:06

that. And it's not typical Taekwondo, because Taekwondo you're

28:09

not allowed to throw holds. No, it wasn't at

28:11

all typical. It just is Taekwondo. It wasn't at

28:13

all typical. So Taekwondo most of the time is

28:15

point fighting. I never did point fighting once. The

28:18

tournaments I was in, people were kicking and trying

28:20

to knock each other out and getting knocked out.

28:23

And so there was a little bit of a

28:25

difference. But the reason I never talk

28:27

about it, the only reason you never heard about it is

28:29

that very simply, I've said this before, you'll

28:31

never hear me talk about my Taekwondo

28:33

days. And here's why, because we

28:35

never punched to the face. And

28:38

if you don't punch the face and just to the

28:40

body in tournaments, it doesn't count to me. Now

28:43

I boxed, I boxed a lot in a gym

28:45

and spar. I'm almost positive you said you were

28:47

punching to the face about 60 seconds ago, 60

28:49

to 120 seconds ago. There's

28:52

a lot of holes. There's a lot of holes. I

28:54

did train. The biggest hole is this. Nobody

28:57

in history has ever said this sentence.

29:00

I toured the country fighting. Nobody's

29:02

ever said that. That's not a thing to do. It

29:04

sounds like comedy, right? It sounds like comedy. It

29:07

seems like a complaint in two things. I toured

29:09

the company, I'm thinking speeches and fighting. And then

29:11

he's so defensive. He's defensive about it too. I've

29:13

never talked about it. You've never heard me talk

29:15

about it because I don't, I don't talk about

29:17

it. I think you're a professional comedian. I think

29:19

you've been a professional comedian for decades and you're,

29:21

and you're, and you're conflating those two things. I

29:24

like where you're thinking. I like where you're thinking.

29:26

Here's where I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go through

29:28

my whole fight pedigree. Judo,

29:30

Judo is a kid where I

29:32

did do tournaments. Not

29:34

a big deal. What age, what age Judo? Starting

29:38

at like nine. That's what got me

29:40

into wrestling. So I went to America for the first time

29:42

at 14 and became a wrestler.

29:44

Wrestled all four years in high school,

29:46

entered, went to Dan Gable's camp. And

29:48

then, and then, and then. Hold

29:50

on, hold up. How successful a wrestler were you

29:53

in high school? I was really

29:55

good, to be honest with you. State, state champ. So I

29:57

was, I was, I took third in the all New England's.

30:00

at MIT and the all New England

30:02

tournament was a tournament where everybody

30:04

from public school and all the private schools would

30:06

go to wrestle. So I took third there. Wow. And

30:09

then I took- Well, wait close. 139,

30:12

I think in my senior year. And

30:14

then I was

30:17

seated 16th at the nationals in Lehigh.

30:20

16th is not a big deal. It's

30:22

not even worth mentioning. So I was

30:24

okay, I was pretty good wrestler. And

30:26

then the guy I'd beaten at American

30:28

University, which was a D1 program, I

30:31

had beaten and he was starting. So I

30:33

went to wrestle there. And

30:35

then I- Not on scholarship though. No, no. So you

30:37

walked on- I walked on, you know, but I didn't

30:40

even walk on because I talked

30:42

to the coach. And then I had a

30:44

back injury. And I think it

30:46

was because I couldn't stand losing the weight and

30:48

I'd gone to Dan Gable's wrestling camp for two

30:50

weeks. And I was like, this is D1 wrestling,

30:52

fuck off. I don't want to do it. I

30:55

just didn't want to do it. So I think

30:57

I gave myself a psychosomatic back injury. And then

30:59

I saw these guys kicking and punching on

31:01

a level I'd never seen. And I was like,

31:04

I want to learn how to do that. So

31:06

I do martial arts and guess what I learned?

31:08

Here's another thing I never talked about. I

31:11

realized that for me to

31:13

be good at Taekwondo or full

31:15

contact kickboxing, whatever, I

31:18

had to set up patterns. And I

31:20

realized that there were guys that could beat me

31:22

with no problem. And I was like, I'll never

31:24

be a champion at this shit. And

31:27

every time you go to practice

31:29

in my studio, you could get

31:31

knocked out. So you're always fucking

31:34

nervous. It was always scary, always.

31:37

That's why whenever like I would box and

31:39

Wayne McCulloch go, you're sparring today, I'd

31:41

be like, ah, fuck. So remember I said to you,

31:43

I go, I'm getting dizzy because I was getting hit

31:45

too much. And you were like, keep it up dude

31:48

at your age. I did Taekwondo for one week, my

31:50

dad signed me up for it. I went, this is

31:52

gay and I walked out. Yeah, but where I was

31:54

doing it was pretty, those

31:57

guys can kick your head off and Wayne was pretty good and we were

31:59

fine. I'm

54:00

hoping that yes. Yes. I had

54:02

to touch Chris. He's crushing me so bad on

54:04

there. Why? Okay. He's

54:07

so fucking talented. Chris. He's so talented. So

54:09

goddamn good. And he was talking about like

54:11

the in the green room. So he's feeling

54:13

less than and this. And I was like,

54:15

you motherfucker. That's what makes him funny. That's

54:18

what makes him funny. But it's also, he

54:20

also, but he, it's also self-sabotage too. Like

54:22

he has everything going. The great fucking house.

54:24

He's crushing it. His podcast, huge. His specials

54:26

kicked out on Netflix and he fucking blows

54:29

it all up. That's a comic. That's a

54:31

real fucking comic with a lot of self-saboteur

54:33

in there. You know what that is? I

54:35

appreciate it. I don't appreciate it. That's a

54:38

comic with a bad therapist. No, no, no,

54:40

no, no. It's why Chris is always funny.

54:42

You can't like yourself too much. The fuck

54:44

out of here. You gotta have a healthy

54:46

throat, the self-loathing. You're in somebody else's car.

54:49

Your family's not talking to you. They're selling

54:51

fruits and vegetables. Terrible business plan. But

54:54

you still got blue eyes and your face

54:56

looks a little more crooked than normal. I don't

54:58

know what's going on. You're obviously jittery. Have

55:00

you been sparring? You've got the cocaine sweats

55:02

and how much is Mateo Lane and the other

55:04

guys paying you to actually do other

55:07

things? Ah shit.

55:09

So Mateo Lane, Mateo Lane, it's, I'm

55:11

not getting money per se because money

55:13

is in fact a fiat currency. He

55:15

did tell me he'd give me half

55:17

of an Ethereum coin. Oh, that's not

55:20

a lot of money. That's not a

55:22

lot, Chris. Guys.

55:24

Okay. Like I hate to do this, but I

55:26

do want to ask cause you guys have big

55:28

connections. Is there any way you

55:31

could get me some type of connection to get

55:33

my fruit and vegetable stand inside the parking lot

55:35

for Burke Crutcher's fully loaded tour. I

55:37

just would like to sell fruits and vegetables to the

55:40

comics and the people on Burke.

55:42

Yes. Yes. But there's a caveat to that.

55:44

You got to sell only watermelon. You have

55:46

to infuse it with a lot of vodka

55:48

and freeze the watermelon and you'll make a

55:51

fucking and take your shirt off and take

55:53

your shirt off. Other than that, who

55:56

dies first, Joe Biden or Burke Crutcher? But

56:00

Bert is actually working out. Apparently he's

56:02

getting ready for a marathon, et cetera.

56:04

So who knows? Who knows? You know,

56:06

but it's a good question. It's a

56:08

good question. That's a good question. I

56:11

love you. And then I like Brendan. He's got really

56:13

showing me his open asshole right here. I like this

56:15

view I got going on right now. I

56:17

like that. Yeah, he's opened up a little bit.

56:19

I'm sitting in a respectful manner is what I'm

56:22

doing. So it's great. Yeah, dude. I like that.

56:25

Bert, Brendan's got an asshole. It looks like it smells like

56:27

creatine. It does. That's all

56:29

he does. He's always on some

56:31

kind of a diet. I'm not even sure what it

56:33

is. But I'll tell you

56:35

what, you're very disciplined when it comes to

56:37

your hair. You're high, you're tight. Your skin

56:39

looks pretty smooth. How old are you now?

56:43

I don't fuck around. I'm 39 years old. I'll be 40

56:45

August 26, 2024. Okay,

56:47

good. So you've got, there's a lot going on. Absolutely. I'm

56:50

a Virgo, baby. If anybody wants to know, I'm a Virgo. No,

56:53

no, I knew that. Do you have any plans to get

56:55

the fuck out of very hot New York City though over

56:57

the summer? Or are you gonna punish your skin? I

57:00

just moved. Yeah. I just moved. And

57:03

as I said, I have a three year lease

57:05

on this fruit and vegetable store. So I can't

57:07

necessarily move right now. You have to be there

57:09

for the business. Yeah. Yeah. The

57:12

only place I'd consider moving is Gaza. That's

57:15

about it. Well, that's because you

57:17

don't think you deserve anything. And

57:20

I understand that. You could sell fruit in Gaza

57:22

and make exactly $0. Go

57:24

tell your wife you want to move. If you go,

57:26

honey, listen, I got an idea. I want to move to

57:28

Gaza. And let us know how that goes. Yes.

57:32

Chris. Yeah. I'm going

57:34

to see because I am a homosexual. No, I

57:36

don't get thrown off a roof. Now let me

57:38

ask you this, Chris. What, how many children do

57:40

you have now that you know about? I

57:44

have two biological daughters and I have one. I

57:46

have one stepson. Yeah. So

57:48

I do, I do, I do raise, I do raise

57:51

three children. A four, if you count the Japanese man,

57:53

I have in my basement who cuts up the watermelon

57:55

with the machete. Okay. Is that,

57:57

is that, is he not an adult? Are you a violent

57:59

child? Labor? laws because it's cheaper. What the fuck is really

58:01

going on? He's a 55

58:03

year old hairless man. Oh, okay. And

58:06

I, and yeah, and that's, and so I knew he'd

58:08

be hairless because you prefer hairless. You're not, you're not,

58:10

you don't like a lot of chin doing. I'd like,

58:12

I'd like to come over there. I wish I was,

58:14

I'd like, I'd like to just me and chin alone

58:16

in room. I like to slap him around a little

58:18

bit. Just waving shorts on nothing crazy. I can make

58:20

them slap me around a little bit and I'll give

58:22

them some nice fruit and vegetables. And then we could

58:24

kind of see where that goes. You know what he

58:26

can do? You know what he does now for extra

58:28

money. He oils his feet up and he'll give you

58:30

a good kick around. That's where he'll kick you right

58:32

in the nuts. He'll kick you right in the nuts.

58:36

Yeah. Yep. And there's no hair. I love that. Yep.

58:39

We can make that hat. It's the least we can do for you. I love it. Because I

58:41

see the other, the other girl used to

58:43

work for you. Count, she's got an OnlyFans. I'd

58:45

like to see chin with the OnlyFans. I'd like

58:47

to see that. That's the only fans I'm looking

58:49

at. Yeah, I understand. You've always had a penchant

58:51

for Asians, especially Asian men with no hair. Oh

58:54

God. I love, I love

58:56

Asians, man. They are, um, they're delicious.

58:58

I eat them on all occasions. Good.

59:01

Now, you're a leader now in the comedy space

59:03

and, and you're in, in the world of satire.

59:05

Do you have any words of wisdom and how

59:07

we navigate the rest of our future here? Anything

59:09

to say to America to make us feel better?

59:12

Anything you want to say as a 39 year

59:14

old man who, who has lived a life and

59:16

achieved things, anything? Because we still got a lot

59:18

more to do, man. I mean, it's the 1000th

59:20

episode, but we're, we're planning

59:22

to hit 2000. Any advice? That's

59:24

right. Any advice for

59:26

you two specifically? Sure. Yeah. Well, that we're

59:29

probably beyond it. I would say try

59:32

as hard as you can to get on

59:34

tires for chain gala season two. That's

59:37

the only advice I could give you. I

59:39

would say that. Do

59:42

we send in a tape or what do we

59:44

do? Like an audition tape? What do we, yeah.

59:47

I think I, I don't, I honestly don't know

59:49

the process, but what you guys can do is

59:52

come down to Chrissy's fruit and vegetables on Queens

59:54

Boulevard and 70th road. I'll get you a deal.

59:56

Look at this guy, talking about fruits and vegetables.

59:58

He needs it. Holy shit. and

1:04:00

then we had Donald Trump on and he said, tell Mike,

1:04:02

I wanna thank him for his vote. And

1:04:05

so we got that going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:04:07

So Donald, the Don is happy with you. You

1:04:10

know, the Don's full endorsing your

1:04:12

approval. Yeah. And

1:04:15

he's endorsing my endorsement. He's

1:04:17

endorsing your endorsement. And

1:04:20

I get a kick out of how you're not

1:04:22

a man to shy from your point

1:04:24

of view and in speaking

1:04:26

what you believe to be right. You and

1:04:28

I have spoken a lot. Off camera.

1:04:31

And you- That's

1:04:33

correct. Yeah, you're one of those guys. You

1:04:37

express your outrage and say what you will

1:04:39

about rap. You speak how you see it.

1:04:43

You and Robert De Niro. Wait, when you say, when

1:04:46

you say, hey, Brendan, why don't you shut up? Cause

1:04:48

next time I'm in LA, I'll come there. We could

1:04:50

live stream this. I'll smack that fucking hat right off

1:04:52

your head. No, no, no, no, no, you don't wanna

1:04:54

do that. You tried that last time. You remember how

1:04:56

you- We've been over this bubble. We've been over this

1:04:58

bubble. No, no, no, no,

1:05:00

no, no, no. I'll come out there on like the

1:05:03

1,015th episode. I'll

1:05:05

smack that fucking hat right off your

1:05:07

fucking head. That smirk

1:05:10

won't be happening. No, no, no.

1:05:12

Excuse me. I said please do. You've been hanging

1:05:14

around these woke protestors a little too long. I'll slap the shit

1:05:16

out of you, bud. And give

1:05:18

you a good grip up. Give

1:05:20

you a good grip up. And

1:05:23

I'll be over there in the corner. Nah. I'll

1:05:27

take you down. First

1:05:30

of all, I'll take your fucking sneakers. What

1:05:32

sneakers you wearing for your 1,000th episode? You're

1:05:34

not gonna like this. No, I get some

1:05:36

Yeezys on. They're just so comfortable, dude. Are

1:05:39

they comfortable? Yeah, they're super comfortable. I know they're

1:05:41

frowned upon. They're just, I ran this morning, so

1:05:43

I didn't have time to change them. If I

1:05:45

knew you were coming on, I wouldn't have wore

1:05:48

them. I don't know. What

1:05:50

are you wearing? Like what's your workout regimen these days?

1:05:52

I didn't know you were like, you know what, he's

1:05:54

sprinting, running. What are we doing? I just run in

1:05:56

the mornings. I run two to three miles every morning.

1:05:58

I need to do a short workout. threats

1:10:00

or were they scared because they don't agree

1:10:03

with it? They were threats. They would know

1:10:05

they were totally behind me. They felt really

1:10:07

bad. And the reason why

1:10:09

they, they, they did it is because the

1:10:11

club got threats, the workers, they were, they were

1:10:14

apparently going after workers and they found out where

1:10:16

their workers were. They threatened workers and the workers

1:10:18

were freaked out. And of course they were threatening

1:10:20

me and you know, I'm

1:10:22

not into that shit. I talk my

1:10:24

shit. Uh, but comedy is comedy. And

1:10:27

even if it wasn't comedy, even if

1:10:29

it was just a speaking engagement, you

1:10:31

know, to make threats about, you know,

1:10:33

I have nothing to apologize about in

1:10:35

regards to where I stand on anything

1:10:37

political, you know, we've been on

1:10:39

the show. I've talked to you guys shit about

1:10:42

politics. The thing about politics, Israel,

1:10:44

Gaza and all that shit. These

1:10:47

are points of view. None of us are out there in the,

1:10:50

in the, in the dirt. None

1:10:53

of us are dealing with it. My

1:10:55

thoughts are my thoughts, my opinions are

1:10:57

my opinions. I stand by my opinions.

1:10:59

But when you start threatening comedy venues

1:11:01

and managers and workers, it

1:11:05

gives you an idea. Matt, I mean, Mike, you

1:11:08

called you Matt, Matt, Matt, because

1:11:10

you're not Michael, Michael Rappaport.

1:11:13

One guest of the year before there was

1:11:15

a guest of the year, a war, invented

1:11:18

the guest. Matt Rappaport,

1:11:20

Matt. So that's cool. That's my nickname.

1:11:22

Fix it. Fucking

1:11:24

fix it. We're going to edit that

1:11:26

shit out. Mike, Mike Rappaport. No, but

1:11:29

Mike, you know, it's

1:11:31

very interesting because you speak your mind and

1:11:33

it's interesting that whoever is disagreeing with

1:11:36

you is having to use threats of

1:11:38

violence to get their point

1:11:41

across, which is, you know, to me, tends

1:11:44

to galvanize where you stand anyway. And you got

1:11:46

to double down when that happens. I don't think

1:11:48

you bend to that kind of pressure. I think

1:11:50

you have to fucking double down on principle because

1:11:53

if you, if you

1:11:55

fucking give in to people who

1:11:57

are threatening you with violence, then

1:12:00

they win and yeah, it's scary. Yeah, it

1:12:03

is. It's a dangerous time right now. It's

1:12:05

always been a contentious time, but fuck

1:12:07

those people for doing that. And

1:12:10

I think sometimes it's worth taking the

1:12:12

stand, you know? So you

1:12:14

don't back up. I know you're

1:12:16

not gonna back off, but that is putting

1:12:19

money where your mouth is because nowadays it's

1:12:21

true with social media and the public square.

1:12:24

They do threaten your pocketbook. It does

1:12:26

affect your fucking life. But

1:12:28

what's weird is, I mean, they're just doing it off the exception,

1:12:30

but 99.99% of the time, those people are gonna do shit. No,

1:12:35

of course. They'll see rap in the street and ask for

1:12:37

an autograph. Right. They see you

1:12:39

in the street. They bat their eyes,

1:12:41

they ask for an autograph. And also, as far

1:12:43

as showing up at clubs and threatening clubs, you

1:12:46

know, so much, where are you? Like,

1:12:48

you're not in the, like, they're robots.

1:12:50

They could be anywhere. It's just the

1:12:53

abundance of them freak people out. So

1:12:55

that's why I'm particularly excited about the

1:12:57

VIC, but all tickets are on sale

1:12:59

at michaelrapoportcomedy.com. And, you know,

1:13:02

I'm happy for you guys. I truly, truly

1:13:04

love you guys. I respect

1:13:06

you guys. And I'm always happy

1:13:08

for both of you having success. I'm

1:13:10

happy with you clothed. I'm happy with you

1:13:13

nude. I'm happy. And also,

1:13:15

you know, you guys have been running

1:13:17

a thousand episodes. What's with

1:13:19

your guy? He can't send me a fucking

1:13:21

email. Like, the whole thing, like, yes, I

1:13:23

was napping earlier during the thousandth episode. Yes,

1:13:26

I fell asleep watching this shit. I

1:13:28

was fucking bored to tears waiting for my

1:13:30

turn. But then your guy Chin

1:13:32

and your other guy Saza, and like, come on,

1:13:35

man. Yeah, it's not Saza. It's

1:13:37

a woman named Sona's not Saza. Don't say

1:13:40

Saza. You got to read that. You got

1:13:42

to read the names. It's a Persian name.

1:13:44

Be a little respectful. And Sona's loves you

1:13:46

before you came on. She said you're her

1:13:48

favorite. Now she, yeah, I don't know if

1:13:50

she feels the same, but she said, she

1:13:52

said, she said Matt Rappaport's my favorite. She's

1:13:56

got a Gmail account. I'm like, what year are

1:13:58

you in? Like, get yourself something private. like

1:22:00

a, or finoc, you fuck, do

1:22:02

you just, I don't

1:22:06

know what that is. I don't know what that is. Yeah.

1:22:09

I have a Big Mac dog. Look,

1:22:11

we're not eating Big Macs or hot dogs. Yes.

1:22:13

I agree that American food can suck sometimes and

1:22:15

you're eating good food, but I mean, you know,

1:22:18

it's your, your, your, you're kind

1:22:21

of acting like Italy is the center of

1:22:23

the entire universe. And that's

1:22:25

not fair. Cause you've only been there for two weeks.

1:22:27

Family there and stuff like that. And

1:22:29

his outfit is screaming America. Well,

1:22:32

the outfit screaming somewhat Napoli. No,

1:22:34

no, no, that's, that's cold. Hey,

1:22:37

Brandon, Brandon, the question

1:22:39

of color, a

1:22:43

Jew, or a common after the, the

1:22:45

egg, American, or to no sub. No,

1:22:47

he knows what he says. He

1:22:50

says this is what color or color.

1:22:53

I do like the blue color. So it's like, it's

1:22:55

a poor light blue. It's

1:22:58

for a couch. Oh, you call a soccer. Yes. Yes.

1:23:01

He's saying the ball. Oh,

1:23:05

Argentina. No, it's, I

1:23:07

think he's, I think the Napoli colors are light

1:23:09

blue. So you're, you're a soccer fan. Yeah.

1:23:12

Yeah. And Napoli of course is on the

1:23:14

water. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1:23:18

Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah.

1:23:20

Yeah. No, no. Yeah. Yeah.

1:23:24

It's. Fine. Fire.

1:23:27

Yes. Fine. Yes.

1:23:30

Fine. Yeah. Yeah.

1:23:32

Yeah. Fighter and the

1:23:35

kids. So he's saying, where you fight a

1:23:37

bomb. But then. And

1:23:39

the fighter and the. Yeah. You're

1:23:43

on the fire on the cake. So

1:23:45

listeners, he just won't stop being there. He loves

1:38:13

it there. Will's gone full Italian, man. You really

1:38:15

have gone full Italian. Who could have called this?

1:38:18

This has been the Italian episode. This is the

1:38:20

1000th episode and Will's full grown Italian. Who knew

1:38:22

that you needed an Italian dictionary, but I hope

1:38:24

I did a good job explaining because I'm half

1:38:26

Italian, as you know, so I speak. I

1:38:28

understand a lot of Italian. But not as good as

1:38:30

Will. No. Will's full blown engulfed

1:38:33

himself in the culture. Both his parents were

1:38:35

Italian. That makes sense, Sasso. Sasso

1:38:37

might be a Slovenian. He's Canadian though.

1:38:39

It might be a Slovenian name or

1:38:41

it's not. Will's fucking Canadian and he

1:38:43

loves American WWE. Yeah, yeah.

1:38:46

He also not in Canada,

1:38:48

born there, but also in

1:38:51

Grenier, he also not polygon.

1:38:53

No, no, yes. Yes, your

1:38:55

family's from... No, you're Canadian. There you go.

1:38:57

Wow, Will Sasso. Will

1:39:00

Sasso. Wow. Yeah, you have

1:39:02

a lot of relatives that are very happy to see you.

1:39:04

And you get a lot of kisses. They don't kiss your

1:39:06

ring. I don't know if they kiss your ring. I don't

1:39:08

know if they kiss the ring. I don't know if that's

1:39:10

your marriage ring. I don't know if they do

1:39:12

that. What are they doing there?

1:39:14

A crown? Is they're putting a crown on you? Oh, wow.

1:39:17

I don't know if they're putting... I

1:39:19

don't know if you can... Kiss the ring. I

1:39:21

don't know if they're putting a crown on you.

1:39:23

I don't know if they kiss your... I

1:39:27

don't know if they do that. The rain.

1:39:30

The weather is not coming back. The

1:39:32

rain. The rain. The rain. Right.

1:39:35

But yeah, I don't know if that's true. I don't know if

1:39:37

you're the reigning king, but we appreciate it. Yeah, we love you,

1:39:39

Will. We miss you, buddy. We miss you, miss you, pal. Okay.

1:39:42

Hey, hey, chao. Listen to the...

1:39:44

Listen to the one that chao. Bona

1:39:46

sera, bona serata estata post. Okay. Yes.

1:39:55

Okay. I'm not the bambino. It's

1:39:57

a little insulting, but yes, I'm... Bambino.

2:16:00

canceling and that comes to us from Alan

2:16:02

Tucker, oh seven on Instagram. You take it

2:16:04

because I went through it and then, no,

2:16:06

I went through it. I did like, we

2:16:08

both went through some shit there different. Cause

2:16:10

you actually went through the actual bullshit. And

2:16:12

then I like, you gotta realize I, I

2:16:15

basically going through it with my brother because

2:16:17

we're in this marriage. So it was like a double-sided

2:16:19

thing. You go first though. Well, I mean, part

2:16:22

of it's losing everything, you know? Like part

2:16:24

of it's just going

2:16:26

through, like you, you spend your

2:16:28

whole life building something and then just out

2:16:30

of the blue, somebody says

2:16:32

something about you, tells a story about you.

2:16:35

Doesn't matter if it's from 1999, doesn't matter what

2:16:37

it is. Don't matter if it's true. Your whole life.

2:16:39

It's most important. Doesn't matter if it's true. Yeah. I

2:16:42

mean, yeah. Yeah. Fuck how old it is. Number one,

2:16:44

doesn't matter if it was yesterday, and the only, doesn't

2:16:46

matter if it was 2012, doesn't matter if it

2:16:48

was 1992. Yes. It

2:16:51

wasn't fucking true. Exactly. And so

2:16:53

that's the one thing that got me through

2:16:55

it. But more importantly, what I also realized

2:16:57

was no matter who you are

2:16:59

and no matter what you've done, you

2:17:02

don't have a right to think that you're going to be able to

2:17:04

hold on to anything. There is no

2:17:07

permanence in life and everything

2:17:09

is transitory and everything will come

2:17:11

and go. Your success, your health,

2:17:13

your looks, your status, your popularity,

2:17:16

you'll have your ebbs and flows. And

2:17:18

I remember looking in the mirror and I said, let's

2:17:20

see who I am now. Cause I

2:17:23

lost everything, man. I mean, I did. I

2:17:25

lost everything. And including

2:17:28

my community and everything, and you get very,

2:17:30

very isolated, but I never stopped writing. I

2:17:32

never stopped working out. I never stopped being

2:17:34

a good father. I never stopped being a

2:17:36

good partner to

2:17:38

my now wife. I

2:17:40

never stopped. And I said to myself,

2:17:43

if I go down, I'm

2:17:45

going to suffer well. And I'm going

2:17:47

to prove to myself and the people

2:17:49

I care about, who I

2:17:51

know I've always been and who

2:17:53

I've known I was my whole

2:17:56

life. And that's an opportunity to

2:17:58

prove to the world. but

2:18:00

most importantly yourself and those you

2:18:02

love, what kind of person

2:18:04

you really are. Who are you now, motherfucker?

2:18:06

When they're trying to kill you and make

2:18:08

no mistake, you're in a boat in the

2:18:10

middle of the ocean with no paddle. And

2:18:13

it's the worst thing in the world.

2:18:15

You don't sleep, nothing's good, right? People

2:18:17

don't realize what it is. You lose

2:18:19

everything. But you gain a lot too.

2:18:21

You gain a lot in the end.

2:18:23

I think for me is, I

2:18:26

guess what I didn't realize few things. One, when it

2:18:28

first got drawn to my attention, Brian called me and

2:18:30

I'll never forget. And I was like, it's a tweet.

2:18:33

And it's not true who gives a shit. Like I

2:18:35

know Brian, I know Brian better than anybody. I

2:18:38

was like, no, who gives a fuck? How long

2:18:40

ago? And it's fake? Like it's a tweet. We

2:18:42

don't have to worry about it. I didn't realize

2:18:44

that that movement was gonna actually, like

2:18:46

what's gonna do something with no evidence. It takes one person

2:18:48

or another. Which I didn't, you know, at the time I'm

2:18:50

like, who gives a, people say shit all the time. Like

2:18:52

that doesn't matter. Didn't realize what it was gonna bring. And

2:18:54

the other thing I didn't realize is with

2:18:58

Brian, with Chris's shit, like I know them.

2:19:00

With Chris's stuff, like I've talked, I know

2:19:02

stuff you guys don't know. I wouldn't stick

2:19:04

behind a guy if any of that was

2:19:06

true. I know shit you guys don't know.

2:19:09

So for people to get mad, like I can't believe

2:19:11

you defend them, like, that's

2:19:13

what friends do. Now I'm

2:19:16

from the background where I

2:19:18

come from. That's what friends do. You

2:19:20

back your friends no matter what. I

2:19:23

didn't realize that it would kind

2:19:25

of, you

2:19:28

would, how many friends we'd lose? In

2:19:30

the comic community, like how many friends we would

2:19:32

lose? And for a long

2:19:34

time I was very upset at that. And

2:19:37

now, you know, we've

2:19:39

gotten through it. Now I'm glad that happened. Because

2:19:41

now we know what we're dealing with. We know

2:19:43

who we can bank on, who we can't, all

2:19:45

good. And I just, I

2:19:48

never expected that. Straight, never expected

2:19:50

that. And you

2:19:52

know, it just, people show their true colors. They

2:19:54

show their true colors. Part of

2:19:56

when you go through that is learning how

2:19:58

to forgive anybody who jumpship. And here's why, what

2:20:01

you have to understand is we live in

2:20:03

a world where anyone can say anything about

2:20:05

you. People can tell a

2:20:07

story and they can take everything

2:20:10

from you. We all know this. People

2:20:12

lose their entire livelihood off a

2:20:14

Twitter storm. People say something

2:20:16

and everybody jumps on it. It is

2:20:19

the first time in history in a

2:20:21

lot of ways, well, not the first

2:20:23

time, but social media has that dark

2:20:25

side. If someone

2:20:27

writes an article, if there is a

2:20:29

certain thing, you are done. All

2:20:32

they have to do is tell a story. Johnny Depp,

2:20:34

the biggest movie star in the world, what

2:20:36

did he say when they said, what did you

2:20:39

lose because Miss Heard's story? Nothing

2:20:42

short of everything. And that was Johnny Depp. But to

2:20:44

your point, I think the reason you're saying this is

2:20:47

a lot of people I was mad at, a

2:20:49

lot of it's fear. Fear. Because

2:20:51

even if they support us behind closed door, fear.

2:20:54

With text, Brian, they're like, I just

2:20:56

don't like, if this is what they

2:20:58

can do, we're out. You're next. Everybody's next

2:21:00

in a world like that. If you can lose

2:21:02

your entire livelihood off a story,

2:21:05

you're next. Yeah, I guess I just didn't

2:21:07

realize, obviously I have nothing to do

2:21:09

with it, but I defend my friends. It

2:21:11

created teams and people went, oh,

2:21:13

well, Brendan not only defends them, but brings them

2:21:15

on the show, does a show with them. So

2:21:19

it ostracized me from certain

2:21:21

comedy clubs. I'm

2:21:24

like, wait, what? Wait, you're not

2:21:26

sending me availability now? I

2:21:28

didn't do anything, but you did. You're

2:21:31

on that team. We're on this team. I'm like,

2:21:33

okay. Yeah. And all that I'd go, okay. That

2:21:35

was less so, like there are people that are,

2:21:39

yeah, we live in a very polarized culture. It's

2:21:41

a cultural war right now. And so a lot

2:21:44

of times it was exactly like with COVID. If

2:21:46

you weren't all in on masks and social distancing

2:21:48

and vaccines, you were already

2:21:50

over there. You were branded far

2:21:52

right. You were branded all kinds of stuff.

2:21:55

We're living in a time where bad lines

2:21:57

are being drawn. Here's my thing. I

2:21:59

can understand. why some of them didn't speak up for

2:22:01

Brian and Chris. I get it. I get it. Because

2:22:04

you're scared. Brian and Chris are two different things too.

2:22:06

No, I'm not saying that that whole canceled thing. It's

2:22:08

one thing. We're all, we're all, we're all of us

2:22:10

are in our different boats. But still, it's still, you

2:22:12

guys were voted off the island. So my thing is,

2:22:15

I can understand that some people wouldn't do it because

2:22:17

they're fear of, you know, scared of it. And then

2:22:19

some I don't understand because

2:22:21

of course, you know, I realized get

2:22:23

some blowback, but it's like,

2:22:25

I don't respect it. You know, like, I don't

2:22:27

care if I talk to someone anymore. I just,

2:22:30

I'm like, oh, I'm good. Like you, you're not

2:22:32

giving me my Foxhole. It's all good. So I

2:22:34

think with some of it, you

2:22:36

know, all good, all good. It's

2:22:39

all good. Follow up to that. So have you

2:22:41

guys had friendships where like you've had to navigate

2:22:43

this like, Hey, we love you, but we just

2:22:45

don't want to talk about or kind of help

2:22:47

you out right now. Never, never.

2:22:49

Cause I'm that 3 AM friend. Never.

2:22:51

That's not how I'm feeling. You tell me, you

2:22:54

tell me a better friend you have again. And

2:22:56

I hope I have friends like this in my

2:22:58

life. If shit goes down, if I'm your real

2:23:00

friend, people that were business associates or whatever, we,

2:23:02

we work together or we have

2:23:04

a, you know, whatever a brand together that's

2:23:06

different with the, like there's a few handful

2:23:08

of friends where I don't give a fuck

2:23:10

what you're going through. I'm the

2:23:12

guy you call. And I take pride in that. I'm

2:23:14

the fucking guy you call. Yeah.

2:23:18

Look, my, my

2:23:21

know who I am and the people around me know

2:23:23

who I am. And, and I, one of the things

2:23:25

I showed my, one of the things I showed with

2:23:27

the time I was going through it, the people that

2:23:30

I had hired, one

2:23:32

was a publicist, the other was a lawyer. Should

2:23:34

never have hired a publicist, never, but, but I, I was,

2:23:36

you know, you're in a panic mode and people say, you

2:23:38

got to do this. You're gonna need a crisis stuff. I

2:23:40

should have just, I made a video cause I wanted people

2:23:42

to see my face, but the one

2:23:45

thing I have, I showed them, I said,

2:23:47

you need to know, you need to believe

2:23:49

I'm innocent. I can't have you thinking. I

2:23:52

can't have you as a hired gun. It's

2:23:54

very important that you know. And I showed them my

2:23:57

side. I showed them. I

2:24:00

showed them what

2:24:03

the truth was. And that was very

2:24:05

important to me. So if anybody's going through anything

2:24:07

in life, you guys, and you will, align

2:24:10

yourself with the truth, align yourself, get key into

2:24:12

who you really are, key into the best side

2:24:14

of yourself, get close to those people

2:24:16

that love you, and just fucking

2:24:18

go through it. Go

2:24:20

through it, accept everything as it is. Lose

2:24:23

it all and

2:24:26

rebuild from there. But just take it. You don't

2:24:28

have to go through that shit. Yeah, but people

2:24:30

do. They get terminal diseases, they lose a kid.

2:24:32

A lot of bad shit happens to people.
