Woo, yeah. We cobbled together some garbage.

I mean, some great stuff from this year.

And listen, we had a really fun year on Superfly, I have to say.

I had a great time.

And we got a lot of people watching.

We got some people on YouTube.

So stoked about that.

A lot of comments.

And we just kind of rotate in and out different people.

Sometimes you don't have a guest. Sometimes you do.
A lot of comments, and we just kind of rotate in and out different people. Sometimes you don't have a guest, sometimes you do.
A lot of fan interaction. A lot of fan interaction.
Fan interaction. We must have done at least 100 hours of podcasting.
Seems impossible. It seems like too much.
It seems like no one could do that. Yes.
And now we've distilled it down to the very, very, our very favorite moments. We got Gronk and Edelman, the superstar football player.
Gronk and Edelman, yep. Dr.
Greer, the UFO expert. UFO-ologist.
UFO-ologist. Dr.
Greer created a lot of pick up with his. Yeah on aliens.
Speaking of that, we've got Nate Bergazzi. Nate Bergazzi.
Yeah, he was very funny. Right off Saturday Night Live, he came in the next day and talked to us.
He still was dressed as Georgeorge washington yeah when he does all day and then danica patrick who was very interesting different guests for us she was fun uh i don't know who else we're just putting the kind of a best of so if anything you missed anything or if you want to see it again check it out and john lovitz will make an appearance Oh yes, Lovitz, of course it so it wouldn't be it without him so here you go merry christmas happy holidays we have no idea how much of a pain in the ass it was to fit me in a car because we had really we had to usually put um like something to raise my feet up so that i could get closer to the top of the pedal so that i was putting my feet on the right spot again um i think it's because it's like ironically hailing here in the middle of the summer and it's like sunny but, but a couple of clouds, but it's truly hailing outside. I thought it was one of those things where you say to the dog, if it doesn't, if it feels like it's not going well, start barking.
And then I'll say, I have to leave. Yeah.
That would be actually quite the skill set. It's like a good date.
The commercial is going to get a beer for them. If I could get the dog to like get me out of jail free card in uncomfortable situations, that would be a major skill set.
But anyway, so it turns out I had the balls to do it. You had the feet long enough and everything.
Yeah, got the car fitted to me. So it was definitely, there were times where I was too high, too far forward, too far back, too far down.
The whole time. Not the whole time, but usually at the beginning of the season after you got fitted, you'd figure that out very, very quickly in the first sort of time that you got in the car.
And sometimes I would be working on the seat myself and shaving it down and taking pieces out of it. Very manly very manly of me um but yeah fitting what was your height and weight in your prime race car driving what how small were you uh i probably um i was i've i'm 5'1 never really grew past i'm gonna guess that was gotta be like ninth grade and uh i've been like around 110 pounds ish my whole life so so did you ever consider if the race car driving didn't turn out you'd be a jockey did you ever think about being a jockey um just kind of kidding but i mean i have ridden a horse before it was like once i got into nascar so it was later and i think uh what are the speeds there's like loping is sort of like a speed with horses and it's kind of scary i'm not sure i'm not sure i would have been okay with it those horses every time i see a horse like running fast or going through water or just carrying someone fat on their back i just think i feel so bad for their legs and then when they break them they have

to kill them and i'm like i i don't know i just it doesn't make sense like those little legs body good job dana bring up the sore subject um but also you know danica i don't know if you're part of this scam i think i was promoting something and we went to darlington maybe And there was a guy that would drive idiots like me around to do a lap or something.

Do you remember this guy's name?

It was something funny.

They probably got someone that was a driver or has been at some point in something.

By the way, Dana, when you're whipping around the corner and they want you to be scared shitless, they said, you don't have to be in it. Then when I got there, they go, no, get in with the guy.
And I go, well, don't drive or anything. It's a scam.
Every step along the way, crawl in the window, put on this suit that the hardest part is for scariest for me is because Danica and I are drivers. Dana, it's hard to explain, but I'll explain to you.
I'm following. I'm riveted.
Okay. So you get in and you go put on this fireproof suit.
There won't be a fire, but when there is, this will block some of it for a few seconds. Okay.
And then they, I, I don't know if I'm claustrophobic. I did find out when they clipped me in with 18 clips, I go, let's just say we roll.
How do we get the clips? And the guy's like, oh, I'll be long gone by then. I'm like, I'm like i know but with me when i'm in the car burning there's so many clips i lost track i go good luck and then when he goes around he's going i don't know how fast 700 maybe i'm wrong and uh and then he hits the wall and i think danica would know that yeah and that's fantastic it's the darlington stripe they do it on purpose

to make you shit your pants it works um he hits the wall so when we get out of the car it's the whole door is kind of ripped and i'm like why is the guy first of all that's not good enough to be out there with the real people is the one with my life and this has there's something wrong and uh It was fun in quotes.

Well, now you can say like, i didn't pee my pants but you can say you did shit yours when you're driving and i found out once i did it once now i do it all the time uh because it was fun and i liked it and um which part am i talking about the driving what yeah which part are you talking about story about a driver that did shit his pants it was at wakinside new york um he was sick and he absolutely sharted himself and he won the race ah and he had to run around with it and then he had to like go change before going to victory lane anyway i don't want to put this image in your head but there are olympic marathoner world-class marathoners who have and there's no hiding that no yeah that's that's harder to hide now we have a theme run for like long long distance and and and known about this whole half the shit thing I was a distance runner as a younger person, but, um,

Hmm. distance and and and and known about this whole half the shit thing i was a distance runner as a younger person but um i never saw it up close if there was folklore about usually you're healthier then but when you get older i could see things falling apart but uh we just we just had a runner on we should have asked him oh yeah you should have because i uh I ran the Boston Marathon a few years ago.
I don't know why. My one bucket list item was to run a marathon.
And so, well, I don't know what's wrong with me. But my friend said, hey, I think I can get us into Boston.
And I was like, yeah, cool. So she did.
And I had to do a lot of training in Arizona where it was like, you know, I would go as soon as like barely sunrise. What I didn't realize is I should have gone in the dark, but it'd be like 100 to 105 by the time I was finished.
And there's something about the heat, too, that really makes you want to go. Oh, that may make sense.
I didn't, though. I never did that either.
Danica, I don't want to brag, but when I used to walk from McCormick Ranch to my friend's pool on, like, Lincoln and 60th, Dana, this sounds like a brag. I would wear just raw dogget, just shorts, no sunscreen, no hat, three miles so I can go in the pool.
And that was in the summer when I was in high school and uh that's all just bragging that was my boston marathon barefoot too i see not bare not full raw dog i had some stan smiths on actually the story is partially a lie anyway back to um you're on a roll let's finish i know i was excited I was like, look at, because I grew up in Scottsdale baking and boiling.

So I know Danica's story checks out.

And my mom's there now and the dog.

So she drives them around for a walk.

For a walk, she puts them in the car and then she rolls the windows down.

And then she drives around and lets them bark.

She drives up to people and they bark at them and then she drives off.

And if she sees, I don't know, that's my mom, but it's fun for her she's you know it's fun i did it once with her i go i want to go on one of these and then she found where they had horses and she pulled up and then they bark at the horses and it's did you bark at them too i sort of was the uh referee because then the horses would come to the fence and then uh i said okay this is obviously just for fun everything's for fun here because the horses didn't get what's going on but but overall it's fun in arizona dana you know um it's hot i have nine out of 12 months are fun yes that's what you know my buddy sells real estate there and he says i say how do you just talk people into living there because everyone's fucking moving there and he said well i say in chicago there's three or four months you can't go outside because it's snow it's just the opposite and i'm like i guess that makes sense i don't like it when it's freezing but i grew up in arizona so i i kind of can take it when it's hot i i mean dana you know that i had my steering wheel was steel uh this is before i was rich everybody so um i had a steering wheel that was steel and then i had oven mitts when i got in to grab it because they were so hot and then they really came in handy when i pulled that pot roast out of the glove compartment but that's not why we're here i really want to know what's what's what's going on with the rest of the car the steering wheel with steel steering wheel with steel but annika you know because we're in the driving biz also danica do you have road rage in scottsdale do you get out do you carry anything i i i thank god there's so many lanes on the highway these days. It's pretty much maneuver.

I absolutely use the HOV at any point in time,

no matter how many people are in the car or not.

Good job.

And I always think to myself, I get pulled over.

I mean, it's lapsed now, but I'd be willing to use an expired one.

If I pulled out like my FIA racing license along with my my id how would that go they would probably let you go you've got a couple things going for you and they might give you but there's more crime going on out there that i i don't like me i'm like i'm not the big fish guy like let's i know where you can focus some policing so don't try to drag me in but i'm easy yeah yeah it seems like seems like going you know 85 on the 101 is not really you know worth the time of day they should probably there's some other areas that need help yeah that's i've been on all of them yeah you know when they say uh i get text people hey you know like more like friends of friends not like direct friends but they go hey you're coming to uh kansas city so how do we get tickets well yeah yeah that's a soft ask and can i just buy them off you well yeah so you give me your visa and then i go buy them and then i rack the little visa thing and then i call i don't know now i said well it's probably easier if you just what about this like i was playing a casino in oroville california and i i told people in the bay area and my sister who i'm really close with i said just don't come please don't come just don't just don't come i mean don't worry you're not gonna what a horrible person no it's because you're doing the same stuff i go well don't come no i didn't say that out and there was a 40 it was in my hometown basically there were 45 people backstage it was and it was always you know bill slicklow and you remember bobby flop and it was i don't know i just want to do the show and go home anyway but that everyone's having more fun than you well let's hear it yeah saturday night i had uh a buddy from high school that texted me and he calls me texts me and then uh i was like hey i'm i'm at saturday night live and uh we're taping he goes all right just call me after and then that was it just like all right no like even acknowledging that i'm hosting all right well just call me after yeah just like just just call me right after all right yeah i'll be done i'm on spacex we're just gonna go one loop around the world okay call me at 101 a.m he's like dude i saw you're over call me what's up where you been where you been? Because of texting, did you get reviews at 8.30? Sorry. During the show.
Because it's on what's live on the East Coast. But I get reviews from the West Coast while the show's going.
Because they're watching it live out there at 8.30. Yeah.
You try not to look at your phone, but you always end up having like around update and cold play. You have a moment and you kind of can just see it, you know, I had a big day cause so I'm a Vanderbilt fan.
Vanderbilt beat Alabama in college football. So it was a, it's a, as a big Vanderbilt fan, we, they were number one country.
It's the biggest win we've ever had in all of our sports. So, I mean, I got texts about that more than.

Sure.

Even, you know.

More than your goofy gig on SNL.

Yeah.

I mean, it was just all day.

It was, you know, then people are just like, you better say something on Saturday.

Yeah.
And I was mad at myself for tweeting. I shouldn't have fucking said fucking anything because she said some shit for attention.
And then I was sitting on the train. Well, I woke up in the morning and everyone texted me.
I woke up to none of my friends care if I live or die. But then I woke up to like 100 texts from my friends being like, ha, ha, ha, ha, look at this, LOL.
And so I was like. LOL means fuck you, by the way, when people text me that.
They're like, did you see this? And you're like, it's not really LOL. It's more like, I want you to see this.
Yeah, no exactly like one time my friend i woke up to text from my friend there was like a reddit thread i had like opened for a band in central park in 95 degree heat in the summer and then there was like a whole reddit thread of like teenagers telling me that i'm so unfunny that i should literally shoot my own head off and that's what my friends send me my friends don't send me like anything good yeah so like i was sitting on the train just being like i i don't know i just fucking tweeted it and i immediately regretted tweeting it because it's like she just want that's that's what people want they just want attention for one second yeah it's a tricky one because if you protest too much it's sort of like hey wait a minute we are good looking you know that's i know and i didn't want it to come across as like defensive or like yeah and then people thought like i was legitimately upset and i'm like no i'm just i i woke up like ready to say something hilarious about grieving ugly ugly was maybe the funniest thing i heard last week yeah it was so funny and ugly does not it's not out there a lot that word and i like it i don't think i've ever heard it it's a new. That's why I did it.
I felt compelled to bring

a new word into the lexicon

but ultimately I

wish I didn't say anything

because then it just made it a bigger deal.

No, it's great.

That's why we're calling you about it. It's totally

gone away. That's why we're calling you about it.

Well, also

I'm like, this got more attention

than it's been like

every time I tweet

every time I tweet like

Thank you. well also I'm like this got more attention than it's been like every time I tweet every time I tweet like every time I tweet like hey everybody check out this sketch that I made with my friends it's hilarious it gets like two and a half likes block delete unfollow report yeah by the way I just saw happenstance i saw i i think there's a delay i mean i think i saw kristen wig her monologue what a stunner i mean just off the top of my head forget it and who cares already there's so many combo platters on that show of just really pretty and hilariously funny funny's harder you can't go get surgery to be funnier i mean it's really hey wait a minute is it is it okay for funniness to add to a person's hotness not just men but women as well because women will say i like a man who's funny but what about a man who likes women that are funny? Yeah.
Have to be. Yeah, that's like Rodney Dangerfield is like the hottest guy who ever lived.
Was he a looker? Yes. To me.
No, you're right. The metric is so great.
Oh, I tell you, I'm hot, Johnny. I'm hot.
I tell you,'m hot. All I can do is like me.
Oh. So I have not.

That's my worst impression.

I get too much respect.

Too much respect entirely.

Every time a photographer sees me, he takes a picture.

Every time a woman sees me, she takes my pants off.

I tell you, I get a lot of respect.

How does she take your pants off?

I mean. The whole thing is fascinating.
I just just for a second wanted to ask you about generative AI or AI, which also is people are telling us. They didn't tell us about the World Wide Web, how destructive that was going to be in terms of social media and in all of that but what what how does that intersect with what you're thinking because obviously it needs massive energy and you know apparently oh yeah um but it also will become kind of like this alien brain that we control or what do you i mean because what do you what's your thoughts on that it integrates with all this, this, the secret government and all those people, if you control it, you control the world maybe, or.
Well, it can be, you know what I'd say about technology, you know, I just make this simple as an emergency doctor. I've seen a knife put butter on your bread and slit someone's throat or stab you through the heart.
So it's the consciousness of who wields it, who has it. So the technology is neutral.
It's what men do with it, what humans do with it, right? So what does humanity do with a new technology? Do we turn it into a weapon? Do we turn it into something malevolent? Do we use it for the good? And see, this gets into something that sounds very philosophical and airy-fairy, but really the foundation of having a sustainable civilization is that we have to have advanced technology, but it has to be guided by a higher consciousness. You call it higher spiritual consciousness, enlightenment, some greater interest besides your own can-I become another trillionaire kind of mindset.
And I think that is the real crisis because in the 20th and early 20th century, our technologies have gotten ahead of our social and spiritual development. And that makes humans at a very dangerous place.
Now, this is why one of the other projects I run is the Close Encounters of the Fifth

Con. And that makes humans at a very dangerous place.
Now, this is why one of the other projects I run is the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, where we actually train people to make contact with these civilizations and vector or guide them into a sighting or a landing or a contact event.

And there's a movie out called Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, and it outlines all of this. And it's a bit out there.
People go, what the hell is this? But it has to do with using this higher concepts in kind of what Neuralink's trying to do, but on a much higher scale of the consciousness field to interact with extraterrestrial guidance and communication systems through what the CIA called remote viewing, using consciousness to see remote closing. Rob Markman- Remote viewing is crazy.
Yeah. That's so interesting.
Dr. I know all the top viewers.
Yeah. Ingo Swann and I were friends before he died, and he loved what we were doing with that because we were doing it for peaceful contact as opposed to trying to spy on the Soviet Union back when he was right but um you know I know Russell Targ and all the remote viewers and uh the top CIA people who are currently working those programs I know and um they're very positive about what we're trying to do using those concepts in what's called entanglement in physics or non-locality to remote view and contact these extraterrestrial civilizations and make a peaceful outreach.
By the way, we're going to do it. It's open to the public.
You guys should come. We're doing a thing in July in Temecula.
Temecula, yes. Yeah, we're going to do that.
I think there are only about 80 places left, but we're also going to stream it globally. So we're going to do this global CE5.
There's an app, by the way, CE5 contact app that trains you in remote viewing and doing this. I'm going to do a thing with Demi Lovato about this.
It's so much fun. This is way fun.
Describe what remote viewing is just for a second. Just in quick remote view.
Sure. Okay.
So, you know, it kind of gets back to what Ben Rich, who was the head of the Lockheed Skunk Works, said in 1995. And he said, someone asked them about this whole UFO issue.
He says, well, just remember, every point in space and time is connected instantaneously through this quantum field. Now, that's known as entanglement in quantum physics.
The ultimate field of entanglement of interconnectivity is the consciousness field. Now and i think of consciousness is what we're thinking of i'm not talking about that i'm talking about the faculty of being conscious itself and the experience it's like in meditation where you because i was before i was a medical doctor i was a golden boy meditation teacher went around the world teaching meditation in my first career.
I have a mantra. I learned, yeah, oh yeah, all these people, you know, a lot of, I won't say who, a lot of celebrities I've taught meditation to, but we went around and we taught people how to go into that deep state.
But remember, if you're in that deep state of quiet consciousness, you can awaken to another point in space or time. So you can see with your, say, third eye, a remote place in space or time.
So the CIA made a routine program of that in the 70s, 80s, 90s. But it can be used for very good purposes too, besides spycraft.
It can be used for very good purposes too besides spycraft it can be used for knowing things that you need to know for big discoveries many of the big scientific discoveries like the founder of organic chemistry went into a dream state and saw the structure of of the organic system and that's true so yeah it's a really amazing adjunct. It doesn't replace science or intellectual science.
It's an adjunct. It's complementary to it.
So one of the things that we're teaching people is that these civilizations, I'll tell you, you want to hear a funny story? Or is there a comic? No, no. So I was with uh you do a skit on sarah um by the way i loved it when you did church lady years ago it's an ass mashup i mean that was my favorite dana we like aliens better than we like jesus i think that was dana it was me that was my all-time favorite anyway thank you talk about consciousness i just want to insert this doctor it's just you're reminding me a little bit of john lennon's song imagine yes oh yeah which was basically a plea for higher consciousness that what you're talking about and i do think if you can get it together whoever does this so aliens

come down kind of like the day the earth stood still that will propel a lot of forward consciousness in terms of my religion your religion you know so uh you live in a fast well that's what we're doing yeah Someone I know just got engaged in.

Oh, boy. Someone I know just got engaged in and it's a big one.
It's a big one. It's the next step in a relationship.
And that's why they have, you know, a thing called an engagement ring. What was the Beyonce song? You should have put a ring on it.
Oh yeah. Pay attention to that.
And we know how you can get a nice ring right you go to blue nile blue nile your engagement ring shopping spot you got the shape they got the size setting cut color it's all very confusing but you need someone to help walk you through it that's the place to go uh there's one it is confusing but they make it simple is what i'm gonna yeah you go there and they clear it up because I don't know what I'm doing. Like most guys don't understand.
So that's why going to BlueNile.com starts your engagement ring journey. They'll create a bigger, more brilliant engagement ring than you can imagine at a price you'll never find at a traditional jeweler.
Since 1999, Blue Nile has been the original online jeweler. And they've always been committed to ensuring the highest ethical standards.
That's right. Their diamond price guarantee means that in most cases, they'll meet, wait for it, or beat a competitor's price on a comparable diamond.

Not like you kind of, you know, no, no offense. And one of my best trips, listen up, is when I stayed at an Airbnb.
It felt like i was living like a local with all the space comfort of home you know hotels can be a hassle room service and then the housekeeper housekeeping it's a hassle so then you go to airbnb and you can get whatever you want a little cottage this and that it's fantastic you have your own separate space so it's a great product for people who travel david yes i have friends doing one of these right now if you have a home you can airbnb it it's fantastic i mean um to to monetize your home when you're not there seems like a good idea i mean look i'm on the road a lot. I could probably do it.
It's something that people can do when they travel. They have extra space or you're at a place not full time.
You come in the winter, you leave in the summer. That's something you should think about.
It's a way to get some extra money and it's a cool experience. Your home might be worth more than you'd think.
Yep. Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host.
As a small biz owner, you don't have the luxury of clocking out early. This is very true.
Your business is on your mind 24-7. So when you're hiring, you need a partner that grinds it out just as hard as you do.

And that's hard to have a chemistry and match. So LinkedIn is going to try to shorten that process for you and make sure you find someone who works.

You didn't know that trick trick post your job for free at linkedin.com slash candidates that's linkedin.com slash candidates to post your job for free terms and conditions do apply i have a few questions just quickly you did this to tom um did okay first of all like when we did the roast i did the rob low one one we didn't know each other's jokes ahead of time do you guys did you guys know each other's jokes no we're not no but we we would have to tell our jokes to the room and then they didn't tell us if someone had a joke that they would say like uh you can't use that one oh it bumps to somebody yeah yeah and to what room? Writer's room? Writer's room.
Yes, correct. Oh, you had to get up and say them? Yeah.
I went to the comedy store and fucking performed my jokes. Oh, I should have gone down there.
I was terrified. Thank God there was 15 like frat kids there that love football.
So I could say anything and they were going to laugh. But I was up there and I was reading my jokes off of paper and i did like 15 i did 12 minutes i wanted to like test jokes that's a lot yeah and it was it was i was so terrified it was it was really stepping outside of my comfort oh that makes you sick that's so scary to go in front of people and read those yeah that's that's normal.
For real. Who wrote? Did you have someone write with you?

Did you have someone help write with you?

Oh, yeah.

In your voice.

They have roast writers, I think.

Yeah.

I have my own team and then we worked with their team

and we kind of formulated and threw a bunch of shit at the wall.

And then I went to the store and set them all and kind of said,

all right, this one's a good one.

They didn't like this one.

And it's very hard to say, hey, guys, we're roasting Tom Brady.

It's not the same exact scenario because they're ready for regular.

Now, when you go to the roast, everyone's lasered in.

This is about this, blah, blah, blah.

So I've seen like Nikki go in.

OK, guys, here's what I'm doing.

I'm hosting the MTV Awards. Picture Green Day here.
It's's just not the same you don't get the exact same reaction but you get a feel like this one might work so that's good and rob you did the same thing i'm sorry did you say that yeah mine was similar i actually had like three different phone calls with the writers i just wanted to understand the feel of you know of the type of material that i had for tom and other people that were going to be there and then they kind of wrote some jokes for me i actually have a friend who's an absolute maniac who when he's on fire he's on fire he can come up with anything so he wrote four of my jokes and then i actually wrote four of my jokes as well and then all the other jokes were from the writers so uh you know it was just a team effort but at the end once you have your whole script you tell the writers what you're going to say. And then they figure it out.
Hey, you can't say that because someone else is already saying so. It wasn't repeated.
How much fear compared to when you're starting a football. Doing public speaking, going to a podium, you got all these comedians.
It's a global event. I mean, it was pretty amazing ropes.
And you guys are coming out there and you're following people. I mean, where was your nerve level? I'm sure you couldn't compare it to athletics, but it's intense.
It took me years to get used to doing it. It took me three years without being just terrified to do stand-up.
Dude, I mean, it was really scary because we we're football players we're not comics and then you're you're following fucking pros yeah i'm so thankful i had that rep before uh at the store because it gave me like a rep of it but i was i was definitely terrified just because that's not that's not what we do i know i that's i was just asking and the size of the crowd is bigger than normal stand-up it's crazy yeah there was 10 000 what was it the forum there's like but the cool thing about it was you only saw the people you didn't see the crowd you saw like the they had um a bunch of row tables for people oh yeah gonna be made fun of or associated with people so you saw a lot of your friends in the crowd i didn't you know so that that was kind of cool and also everyone knows you're not a professional stand-up so there is usually goodwill you know because they understand it's not what you do for a living right now but how how was your nerve level, Rob? You were relaxed. We're crazy psychos, man.
That's why we won so many championships together is that Julian wants to be the best even though that's not his profession. I wanted to be the best up there even though that's not my profession.
I mean, Bill wants to be the best. When you sign up for something, we want to be the best, and we're super competitive.
And that's why I feel like that whole group right there, we won so many championships and why we went to the playoffs every single year because of that competitive nature. But my nerves were cooking a little bit.
That's why between Julian, myself, and Kevin Hart, we were all three in a row, and we literally finished a bottle of tequila before we even went up there. And that definitely helped out because when I got up there, that it went zoop and it was just game on baby and also wait a minute so before you went out you had at least five shots six shots no or on stage probably they had on stage we were drinking by the time you got to the podium how many shots of tequila i don't know jules what i probably six 10, 7, okay.
Yeah, 6 to 7. I had a prerequisite

of my cocktail before, so I tried my cocktail of what I was going to do before at the store so I could dial in my nerves. Oh, wow, you're prepared.
I have to say that the nerves erase a lot of your buzz sometimes so you're really drunker than you think because you're so fucking giddy with with all the energy and the adrenaline that you go i don't even know if i'm drunk i'm just yeah and you're too you don't feel it as much if you're adrenaline that's what happened to me and also it kind of sucked waiting your turn because once your turn was over you know you killed it it felt so good just to watch rest of the show like it was like you laid back or you get something stepped on that's what i was scared because nikki i thought was first and uh when someone goes before and they do jokes i'm like oh my god i'd be going fuck that steps on this joke oh do i gotta take that one out and who do you tell it's live you're like do i text someone like get rid of that joke it bumps exactly with kevin hart's joke it's the same thing that's the hard part that's where writers have to make sure, unless you're ad-libbing or something.

But I'm sure ad-libs come out because it's live

and just in the moment you want to add a tagline.

I was watching.

So I was really amazed with the professionalism

of all the comics that went up there.

And with Kevin Hart and watching him,

how he was off the teleprompter,

like how he would hit a couple of things on the prompter, then ad lib, and then go back to the prompter. Scary.
I was watching who was reading their jokes and who wasn't. And Rob went up there.
And I'm sitting there looking at his prompter. And then I'm looking, and he went completely rogue.
He just started going on his own rant. It was great.
It was like fun to see who was using their prompter and who wasn't it probably full rogue on the prompter and just started going rob on and then you don't know where you're coming back to because they're like the prompter goes down and they go are we is this this part and then you're like because you know live a lot of those roasts like the one i did they can they trim it from three hours down like an hour and a half so they were cutting all the fat out all the mistakes it's more fun to see the mistakes and see what's really happening definitely i think so yeah did anything shock you did you hear jokes that like you were like oh did you were doing this were your feelings hurt or did you ever observe anyone else who you felt like their feelings were hurt because that that's the live wire reality show aspect of roast. You're laughing, but then I've seen roast where, whoa, that person's really wounded right now.
You know, I guess that's part of it. But did you witness or yourselves? Did you ever, you know, did you get your feelings hurt at all? No, I don't think anyone got their feelings hurt.
And that's what made that roast that much more special. And it also kind of makes you stronger as a person as well.
If you can just take those beatings and lashings in front of millions of people in front of a crowd of 20 plus thousand people in front of all your good friends as well. I mean, it makes you strong mentally.
And that's why I loved it. I mean, I can go around anywhere now, whatever people say about me, actually that roast literally kind of freaked me up.

I don't care what people say.

Call me an idiot.

Call me dumb.

Like, whatever.

I was in front of millions of people and that happened.

So it's no big deal.

And I think that's what made the show so special too,

is everyone took the beating and no one was actually truly hurt about it.

That's what the locker room is.

I mean, no one's safe in the locker room. Everyone's getting made fun of.
It was just public. Well, when I did the roast, they go, like, it's hard to see someone walk up and go, you know, everyone says Spade has huge ears.
And I'm like, wait, what's going on? Wait, what does everyone say? Because you're never hearing everything people are saying. So when they start a joke with, I think we're all in agreement,

and then it's like some horrible thing about you,

and you're trying to brace like, okay, that was too much.

I'm going to mark that down.

I got to talk to them after.

I got to mark that one down.

Because there's so many coming at you.

You just go, holy shit.

That's why I never did it for so long,

because I'm too much of a pussy to take it.

It's just so out of left field.

I think it's crazy to hear how you analyze

Thank you. holy shit that's why i never did it for so long because i'm too much of a pussy to take it it's just so out of left field i think it's crazy to hear how you analyze the the show like we don't think about that you're sitting you guys are pros so you're sitting there like oh he hit that so i'm gonna fucking bring this to him oh yeah yeah i want to go up early like that's reno that's a deal breaker they go i go put me up early because by the time like uh andrew schultz got on he has great jokes but it's hard to just get the effect when you've heard you're numb by this point nikki nikki had the best spot there i think she was third or fourth yeah kevin hart warmed him up when people were very good and then there's a wave that she caught and she was incredibly prepared i I mean, she worked like for six weeks or something, night after night, taping, recording.

I have a question for you, too.

Oh, boy. I saw this video of this girl and she goes, I'm a furry.

And then she goes, here's how I talk to my friend so if i'm happy i'm like meow if i'm angry i go if i'm the anyway do you think do you think that that uh human beings that identify as cats are actually cats i don't but i ran into someone who said my pronouns are they them and i said my pronouns are what's up motherfucker well those are my pronouns what's up motherfucker john's are poo poo pee pee no john's pronouns are mine are sir and lord sir lord mine are hey sound effecty i just know growing up what are your pronouns i'd be huh

Listen. Transphobic much? No, I just don't.
It's like, what? I never thought about it. For a second.
Uh-huh. All right, well, I'd love to hear the end of that story.

I'm all for it.

You apparently mocked people who think they're a dog or a cat.

I met a woman once.

With a litter box.

I had a date with a woman once, and she said she was a cat.

And she opened her shirt, and she had six nipples.

And I said, do you want to get spaded but your feet will one john lovitz on a date with a woman he finds very attractive he will soon find out that she's a cat this. This is an imitation my friend would always do.
This is a cat's butthole. Meow.
Was he a comedian? How old are you? How old was he? Two? We've got to have a raspberry count. Anyone making this sound're probably double ditches ditches oh and bitches okay well john lovitz has been our guest today um the debate was great last night we'll say it again the debate was great doesn't identify as a cat he identifies as a pussy.
Ooh. For those listening, John is beside himself with joy.
He's going in for the close-up with the big eyes and a huge grin. Huge grin.
I'm doing my cat in the camera again. The ring camera.
Meow. David Spade has a disease.
It's called small cocks.

Let's end on that one.

That's not bad.

That's a pretty good one, John.

I don't know how you think of this stuff.

All right.

Thanks, buddy.
