Patton Oswalt Returns Again

Relief, relief.

“You thought you were just barely hanging on with me?”

Hangin' on about my finger tips.

I know you got way bigger people you're hanging out with. Yes, I do. When everyone grabs the chocolate chip cookies, you learn to like the oatmeal. You learn to like the oatmeal cookies. Back to school, ring the bell, bandissues, walkin' loose, climb the fence, cook some plans.

I can tell that we are gonna be friends. I can tell that we are gonna be friends. Hey there, welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs of Friend. I'm Conan O'Brien. Big surprise, joined by Son of Obsession.

Hello. Matt Gorley. Hi. And very exciting show today. And I'm excited because this is a follow up.

You know, every now and then something comes up in a podcast. And maybe it peaks the listeners interest. And then we get to follow up with new information that changes the whole story. Do you know what I'm talking about here, man? Yeah, yeah.

Once you take the ball. Well, in an episode not long ago, we were talking about the epic time that a drawdo called Conan a little bit. Yeah, well, I don't know if it's epic time. It was epic.

That was one for the age and history of our, history of our nation monumental.

Plouched my pearls here on mine. And actually we were all reveling in it. But yes. And just make it clear. We were talking on a certain subject and then Eduardo out of nowhere.

Just called me a little bitch. I don't know where. I don't know where. I don't know where.

“Yeah, I think we're gonna litigate this again.”

Because I'm talking about the time we were talking about that. Which was very easy. But it didn't bother you at all. Because you know, you know, it's sort of felt a little out of the field. And not at all in keeping with my stature.

But yes, we were discussing that time. Everyone here, of course, was doing the ha ha. Wasn't that great. Wasn't that great. Conchry got his.

And then Sony, you admitted something that's kind of surprised us. I kind of stopped us all. I don't think I would ever. I don't think I could ever call you a bitch. It just feels like.

And then you said, you still have a little bit of professional fear. And I, I think I do. And it was so funny because you have kicked my ass to the curb and so many different way. Tells you a dick. Sure.

I've called you an asshole. Well, I am those things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't know why bitch feels like it's a little too harsh. No, but for to you, it, it stopped you a little bit.

And you were surprised that Eduardo said it. Yeah. And you thought I couldn't go that far. Yes. Okay. Well, some information has come in over the transom.

And Matt, you were the keeper of this information. Care to tell us about it. Well, as soon as we left that segment. Sam Curry, who handles all the wonderful social media. Put a clip in all of our faces.

Let's just roll the cliff. We could talk shit, right? The dreaded son of Session, who's terrific at Cornhall. Yeah. I'm terrific.

Come on, you little bitch. Fucking can't throw you little bitch. What, wasted height. Okay. This is embarrassing for you.

I can't walk in tight in the inner world. Where? I'm not worried about this at all. I think it's better at the company. We didn't have to show you.

We built wooden airplanes. You'd win. Dork. I don't think I've ever seen you throw any things. What's happening?

I don't think I've ever seen you throw any things. What's happening? Twice. Twice you call them a little bit. Twice you call me a little bit.

Twice you call me a little bit. And that's one of 700. All full things you said to me. Just as we're playing Cornhall within like a two minute period. Oh my god.

See you found me little bitch twice. I was brutal. I was. So what explain? Yeah.

How do can you think you've never done it?

Because you never in a million years would.

And then you said it twice in within seconds. I legitimately thought that I had never called you a bitch. I really did. Right. And then the moment that that started, I was like,

I remember that.

“Do you think that can I say something in my defense?”

Sure. Please. I'd love to hear it. I had. At that point I was buzz buzz.

I was buzz. Were you drinking? That was one of those. That was one of those. Summer's more.

So you were drinking alcohol. Yes, I was. I don't even remember. But you probably made the cocktail. I did.

Yeah. I was in there. Did you look with courage? Yeah. So you.

The chocolate one? Well, no. I don't know. Okay. I guess my point is.

Your defense is that you were drinking. Yeah. You all know that in Vino veritas truth comes out of drinking. So all that reveals is that you were a little bit. You think I'm a little bitch.

Here's what I know. I know I get competitive. And I know we were competing. And I'm even more competitive when I'm competing against you. Yes.

And I've been drinking. So you're trash talking.

And I love to just trash talk.

And you're a little bitch. Yeah. Well, I. Yeah. I mean, we'll get to that later.

Right? Whether or not I am a little bitch. We have. I just came back from the doctor to test her in. We'll talk about that a little later.

Hi.

“I think this also means I clearly don't have any sort of professed.”

You don't. Also, if you remember, I demolished you in that cornhole game. I beat you. And you were mad. You were really mad.

And I think that's where a lot of this came out. Yeah. That was like an uncomfortable day. I remember feeling like my parents were fighting. Oh.

I wasn't fighting back. I don't know. Oh, you were smoke is hell. You were so smoke. Yeah.

You were the worst person. Because I wanted cornhole. Which means that I'm the best person that ever lived. No, you are an awful person. I'm already competitive.

And then went, look at your stupid face right now. Look at your stupid face. Hey, if you want to see my stupid face. Go to the video on team go go dot com. Oh, you're so smart.

Just thinking about it. And everybody cranky. You was the whole thing started with you complaining about ducking for like one minute. It's a whole covered inducting in conduits. And hey, get me started on conduits.

And I need a drink. But the facts are the facts are that you were shocked. That Eduardo called me a little bit. I was.

You said I would never do such a thing.

And then we immediately. Thanks to Sam Curry had footage of you calling me a little bit. But twice in rapid succession. Right. So when else have you done in your life that you think you have.

You probably won't. I didn't do that. I would never. I would never kill a hobo. You guys never had those nights where you went drinking.

You woke up the next morning. It's us. Are you kidding? What happened? Yeah.

I once had a rum flavored Los Angeles and woke up in the library. You're looking at two little bitches here. Yeah. I'm a little bitch. And back away, that's the big.

That's the big reveal from my doctor is. Yes. Yeah. No. I mean, when I used to go out and I would, you know, I would drink pretty heavily.

And then I would. I remember. Sure. Don't. Don't add commentary.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I thought this was a podcast with my fucking name on it.

I don't need your audio additions. Yeah. Okay. I do. I think I would.

It's not that I blacked out. It's that I was loopy doopy. You went into a few days. And I went into like, man, I'm done like, limber and loose and chill. And we're competing against each other in your little bitch.

And I was like, I just should talking. Okay. So now we do. You know what? Now I think Eduardo's looking.

He's like, game recognizes game. You do. Yeah. He's a little bitch virus going around. Yeah.

Well, you know what? Is nothing I can say other than I probably had a gun. We saw the line here. We saw that you did indeed call him a little bitch. And you are indeed a little bitch.

Mm-hmm. We did it. Yeah. Yeah. We did.

We solved a lot of problems here.

“And I think everyone listening can rest.”

Yeah. And I drink too much. I don't even remember who won. I can't remember who won. I can't remember who won.

I can't remember who won. So no. Yeah. Sure. Sure you did.

Well, we have a wonderful show today. And I think we should begin. Okay. My guest today is a comedian and actor. It was late.

What's so funny? I don't know. I think you like sometimes you can. In your mind you're like, is this an intro or a movie? I know.

I don't know. My guest today is a comedian and actor who's latest comedy special. T and Scotch is available to stream on YouTube. This gentleman is one of my all-time favorite people. I love it when he pops in.

[music] That knows. Welcome. [music] I'm on that.

One of those promo death marches. Yes. Yeah. And listen. I'm flattered.

Anyone wants to talk to me. But there is nice to get to occasionally do a show like this. Where we're clearly just bullshitting. Yes. There isn't that like it's coming out here.

And push it, push it, push it. We're just this interview. I'll be amazed if we even mentioned the special. Yes. We're going to wander around everywhere.

We will. But it'll be a miracle when it happens. It will be. It'll be like, it'll be like a little easter egg that pops up. Oh, that's right.

We're doing it. There's a reason he came by. Yeah. But on the way, we'll somehow mention Marty Allen. And the treaty again.

It will be the most fun treaty again. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, God.

Oh, God.

“That's how all kids who are like 14 and 15.”

Oh, 14 and 15 real girls know me as the guy that talks about the treaty again.

At the food court. Yeah. At this.

“They're all eating Swedish fish and guys.”

They know you as the man to stay away from.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I talk about the treaty again. Oh, he's good.

No, it's the funny. I'm going to quiz us again. It's so funny. You bring up this, the media death march, which most people aren't aware of because in this siloed world, they come across the thing that they like.

And oh, great. Yeah. Patons on. But they don't know that in order to reach a number of people to watch your special. They need you had to do 107 of these.

“I swear to God, this is a thing that was said to me.”

Maybe 75 times on the old late night show and shows after that. But over like a 28 year career of doing late night television. Many times, much more than you'd think, people said to me, oh my God, I've been doing so much press, but this is the last stop. And they would say that without any sense.

That it's insulting. Yeah. Like, I did everything. And then, you know, we all know that the very end. >> If there's time, if there's time, you do the Conan O'Brien thing.

>> I just heard a guy, they said that so many times and I would like look out at my two shot, Cameron, go, why, why, that's being broadcast. >> Yeah, you're a people think people, here's one of those things like when I do double threat with Tom Shropping and Julie Clouser. >> Oh, this is the dessert in the middle of all of the boom, but because we were talking

before we went on when you're promoting things now, it is you are doing a million, it isn't even talk shows anymore, it is stunts, you just, you have stunts lined up all day. You're going to go on this thing, you're going to both be at a salmon hatchery and you're going to be following, you're going to be squeezing the thing to get the, whatever the row out and

then you'll be talking of it's called all-in-a-row with a micro, and listen, it's 800 billion viewers, they love watching celebrity squeezing a salmon. >> We were talking about this because I did this, I was telling you I did this movie with

Rose Burn last year and they said, you know, I never, I don't do movies and so I was

new to all of this and it used to be, oh, to promote your movie, you'd go on maybe one, maybe two late night shows, this is back in the day, it's all changed seismically since then. >> Yes. >> So the next thing I know, scientifically is a good way to put it.

>> Yes. >> I am talking to a young woman's interviewing us while Rose and I are finger painting, and then that would be over and it's like, number to the finger paint, it's number to the finger paint. >> And then they'd bring in a little blonde Austrian boy named Kuta and he, the his bit is,

you both have to put on flamish armor, while Gouder throws ping-pongs at you, ping-pong balls

“and they have little questions and you have to catch them and then answer the questions”

you catch and 900 billion views and you do these and it's one thing for me to do it because people are used to me being humiliated all the time, but Dane Judy Dench, right, you have to be lowered into a giant toilet filled with hot caramel and then the person asks her questions about her career and it's called, you know, she's a thousand, yes exactly. We're promoting the movie, the Queen and what better way to do it than on royal flush.

>> Yeah. >> That's the way. >> Okay.

Here's what's even where to go.

You're in a movie called if I had legs, I'd kick you, which is a very, kind of, it has funny parts to it, but it's a drama, it's a very, it's dark, drama, and you're doing finger painting. >> Yes. >> That's like having Willem Dafoe and Charlie Sheen doing playing Gennip Gennop, go see

Platoon. >> Yeah. >> It's a really dark movie about, oh, it got through a lot of America's innocence, man's in him, man in him, man in him, man in my hippo, be your hippo. >> I guess I was hungry or Willem, no, it is, it is what's become, and so here's another

thing. I'm going to be, I'm in Toy Story 5, it's coming out in June. Now you did Rattitui, and it was probably a long enough ago that there was some of this, but now it's gone haywire, and already I've done things where I'm, they'll say, now they don't even trust us to know the context, they don't even trust the comic or the performance

in another context, so they'll say, just say, Ropadope, squiggly D, and you go, Ropadope, squiggly D, and they say, now say, Ropadope, squiggly D, hello Brazil, and then they get all these things out of context, and you do it, and they say trust us, it all fits into a bigger thing, because Tom Hanks has done it, and Tim Allen's done it, and, you know,

billion people, it's really funny, and I'm like, how old are you?

“I'm 21, I'm a charge of all Disney, Hulu, Pixar, and so it's amazing, and the success”

of this movie hinges on me getting to these outlets, all these online outlets, or you're screwed if you don't have me, yeah, yeah, it's just fascinating to me how this is what it is, and I'm a big believer in, you don't, I'm not complaining about it, I'm marveling, that it changed, that it's just all changed, and now it's this, and I'm an old white guy who's like, whoa, look what's happening, you know, just losing my relevance fast, but I'm just

enjoying all the changes, yes, and I'm enjoying, and I'm very anxious to see who is going to do the next great, like producers, Dr. Strange Love style, Satire, on this moment, like what, how crazy this is. Yeah, but it's going to be hard, I, I'm going to move you call the goat, and it's a delightful animated movie, and so to promote it, we, a bunch of the actors, we all went and did goat yoga, they filmed us doing goat yoga, so there

were, there was a goat on my back, and it was, I don't want to get graphic, but it was spraying goat clothes, and apparently, by the way, not graphic at all. Well, yeah, I, I literally just said, I don't want to be graphic, spraying, and by the way, what do I, I thought your back? Well, goat turds come out like pellets, these were these little pellets, sure now, it's a giant, has dispenser, yeah. But as I'm doing this, we, they went, okay, cut, and

they're doing this, but I'm still have a goat on my back, and it's, it stopped spraying

for a second, and then somebody was on the front, and then went, oh man, we just went

to war with Iran, and then the goat started spraying pellets again, and I'm just like, so, where was, where was Hollywood, when war was declared, they just cut to me like, where's he going? Yeah. Well, it was, well, it was holding on the 49ers, I'm doing his part for our boys overseas. I just love it, and it's just the call. But I'm telling you, you're a regular capra. Yeah, you can't think of something, you know, you can't

think of anything that's weirder or funnier as a comedian to parody this than what's really happening, than what you're doing. You, with a goat on your back, as it shoots

“pellets out its ass, was a real thing, and that's what one, you know, and, and I accept”

it's, go eat hot wings, you know, with Sean, yeah, go eat, uh, chicken on a chicken shop date, um, and those, their shows are really funny. The interviewers are great. I love it all, but it's fascinating that those shows now, you know, people talk about late night TV and what's happening to it. And I think, well, obviously there's a political component to it, and there's all kinds of stuff going on. All kinds of factors, but none of us can

know who late night show can compete with these shows that cost $2 to me. Nothing. And they're watched by, you know, hundreds of millions of people all around the country. It's kind of stunning. I, somebody, uh, I remember I did a late night talk show, won't say

which one, but they basically said, um, no one's actually watching this show. We hope that

one of our clips goes viral tomorrow. That's where we get our viewers. That's where the promo happens, which is why there are so many stunts and craziness going on. They want the viral moments. Yeah. And there, and no one has the page and sound, I just rewatched there. There's that dick cavity episode where they're, remember they're promoting husbands, so it's Peter Faulk, Benghazara, and John Kasvetti's come out, and they are so tanked. And

the, and it is, it's like a better movie than the movie they're promoting is them, drunk and, and Benghazara takes a shoes off at one point in Kasvetti's falls asleep, and it, like, it's such an event. And now that would have to be cut up into little, sure, seven second things. You wouldn't watch the whole event anymore. Yeah. No, it reminds you of its way things have changed that dick cavity could, you know, could have James Baldwin on. And

they could talk about the state of being black in America for, like, 35 minutes. Yeah. And it's one of the most celebrated authors of all time. And it's, you know, but now they would say, you know, that's great, Mr. Baldwin. We want to talk about that. But first,

“you have to hold this exploding pig. We've stuffed a lot of starbursts into it. And”

they're time to go off in five minutes, and then when it blows, you have to catch as many in your mouth as you can. But one raspberry, and you get a Google point, which means you have to sit on the bomb on throne. You know, watch all of the things that you're described by. Yeah. I would watch everything you're described. Yeah. Mr. Baldwin, that was a really incisive take on the way liberal. Try the next hot sauce. He's so busy screaming, eating

endemic in our sight. Anyway, that's all the time we have. Let the record show. The seven

sauce was the one that got him. When ever I talked to him, reminded that you have this insane knowledge of history and also movies, pop culture. And all I will say is that there's a thread around that that you are part of and a bunch of other really sharp, really funny people. And I rarely contribute because I have a knowledge of these things, but I can't keep up with you guys. I feel like someone who's got a single shot, daringer, and you all

have these very sophisticated gas powered Russian machine guns firing away. And I'll just can accommodate the word and say a combination of genuine knowledge of history and then the

most useless showbiz trivia you've ever heard. And this is when I want to bring up because

“we might as well go for it. There's a obsession that you and your cohorts have. And I think”

I have it a little bit too, but not as much as you guys with. There was everyone knows Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin, Lewis and Martin. And then at some point, it was decided there should be, it was guess a rip off for something, but it was these two guys who were supposed to maybe like, okay, Lewis and Martin are kind of winding down. So it's a shameless. It's two guys. One is Sammy Patrello, the other's Duke Mitchell Mitchell. And it's not, it's

Martin and Lewis, but it's not, not Martin and Lewis. And it's kind of horrifying like when they replace the Duke brothers. No, no, that is, and by the way, I'm not saying this be joke. That was subtle compared to what we're talking about. Yeah. And like this mutant amplified version of what Martin and Lewis were. They were in nightclub at Sammy Patrello and Duke Mitchell and Sammy Patrello was doing Jerry Lewis, like almost like it's body

horror. Like like, look at his face. He was going to come apart. It's no one settling. It's a real thing. And then they, they do these movies like Sammy Patrello and Duke Mitchell meet. They did one movie. Uh-huh. The only did one called Bella La Gosey meets a Brooklyn gorilla. Uh-huh. There's no Brooklyn gorilla in the movie. There's, I mean, a guy get Duke gets turned into a gorilla. I can't believe I just tried to qualify that. I just said

Duke gets turned into a gorilla. It's, it's Bella La Gosey at the height of his morphine addiction. It's these two. And that goes on the poster too. It's, it's a height of his morphine

addiction. You've never seen him like this before. Good. It was eyeballs. We, and we all,

“we all organized a night to go see it at the new Beverly recently. Yeah. I think I was doing”

a travel show. I would have gone to that. I was out of town, but I, you know, I check in on this thread because you guys are going all the time. I mean, you guys are chattering away at 4 a.m. And occasionally, you know, when I'm up in the night to apply a cream or an ointment, um, I'll, I'll check in with you guys. And it's like, Oh, my God, there it is. But you guys have this endless fascination with this mutant version of Jerry Lewis, which is a funny sentence.

Yes, because you don't need a mutant version of Jerry. No, but they found one. They found one. And it's in the fact that they both look like them. No, no, it was our way. Yes, exactly. Yeah. But you can see it. And it's, like, you can tell how angry Bailagosi is being in this movie. Like he is openly snapping at Sammy Patrello. And unlike the Jerry Lewis movies where when Jerry's doing his stuff, people are kind of laughing or enjoying it. All the other

characters in this movie are openly hostile. It's like shot up, stop. Like they're just yelling at him. You're not. It is just Martin and Lewis. No, stop this. And then they, I, I could, listen, let me tell you what this is. And I like, I like how you just said, listen, like this marriage is over. No, no, no, I want to show you the essence of this thread. One night, uh, we for some reason, we sort of all, uh, texting and emailing back and

all over the bus. Be sales. And then you chimed in and it was, it is 3 a.m. I'm an intent in Africa. This is the one hour that I get Wi-Fi. And you have me looking up soupy sales. You're literally in the cradle, you're in the cradle of civilization. And you idiots, and I'm watching soupy sales videos on YouTube. You guys, you guys, draw me in. Oh, yeah. And you were talking about the Ritz brothers. That was, that might have

“been it. I think it was the Rich Brothers. The Rich Brothers who were sort of a version,”

you know, they, they mutant Marks Brothers. Mutant Marks Brothers. Oh. And you were talking about one of the Rich Brothers. And I, I am in Ghana. And I am shooting a travel show. And

and my fun goes. And what the hell? Maybe it's lies at contacting me to say that our

“house was just stolen. And I look at it. And you guys are all talking about Harry”

Ritz. Harry Ritz. He was the funny one. I wanted to leave his brothers. He wouldn't do it. But then he made this movie late in his career. And I'm not, it's kind of embarrassing. And I'm suddenly looking at clips of it. And then I come into Harry Ritz's defense. And I'm like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah. And yeah, you're again. I am in the cradle of civilization in it. And I should be on the belt. You're, you're, you're

what made me laugh so hard. I've, I've never mentioned this to you. I, for when you

when you said, I'm in a tent in Ghana. And I'm looking at Rich Brothers videos on YouTube. I just picture like, there's this, like a, like a cheetah or something like in the bush, like looking over. And there's this all silent tent inside of this little light goes on in the tent. You hear his master and Dean and his dad went and way one day. Oh, and he was like, he just, he's a little rich. But it's like, fuck is that weird. Oh, I'm just trying to get away from it. But that happened at one point.

This little glow and on an intent. And that was Conan because of us. Oh, my God. I just love. But I just, I, I had to bring that up because if you, if you guys want to amuse yourselves, uh, sit in semi-patriolo to Mitchell, or, and also there was this, there was this almost sense. I remember reading an interview with Jerry Lewis where he, he blessed these guys. He was like, I bless them at first. He blessed them because he said, well, someone's got to keep it going because we're almost, you know, we're

winding it down and, and I want to, I'm tired. And so I want someone to take over being Jerry Lewis.

“And I thought, that's not how it works. We don't need someone else. Maybe you should go away for a while.”

I just have the idea that I would say, you know what, uh, I am stepping to, I can't step down yet because they haven't found someone else who can be that would have the funny name and hair and that, you know, the, the pitchy voice and I've found someone who would disconnect from the atmosphere of Africa to watch soupy sales getting hit with a pioneer. And I'll know that when I see it in the eyes, I'll know it. But I haven't found it yet. And then I can rest.

Then I know. Then I can retire to my ancestral man's and write my memoirs. When I find another idiot to do this shit that I'm doing. But I think one of the reasons that we're, we are so obsessed with this stuff is because, you know, showbiz is a, is a very rough up, and this is nothing new. But showbiz is very up and down. And there can be extremes of up and down. And some people, they think the up will last forever. And it doesn't. And you still have to show up

when you're not necessarily doing what might be the most glorious or look at work. And this past week with, you know, like Netflix is a joke. I know that a lot of people are like, well, disguised in an arena, but you get to do comedy. You still get to do it. And you get to show up,

like Nicholas Cage has made some bad movies, but he was never bad. And then he showed up and did

something unique. And even with, when you watch Ballagos, he meets a Brooklyn gorilla, as pissed as Ballagos with Sammy Petro, who's literally hanging on him. And one time he openly yells at him. And it's clearly not in the script. He just is like, go close again. He's like, just screams at him. But he's still showing up and doing the work. Well, he's, and that always fuels me when I see it.

“That's why I'm obsessed with that level of showbiz. You and I have several things in common.”

I believe our height, our brute strength. Yeah. Our Celtic blood. But, you know, like, one of the things that I think you've made this point, and I've made this point,

which is that we weren't class clowns. I was never a class clown. And in fact, I never liked the

class clown. Not that I was jealous. I just thought he's making too much noise. It's and I was very quiet and kind of shy about being funny. I wasn't the class clown, but I was in the class clown clique. In other words, we were the comedy nerds. But we weren't the, hey, it was the, we knew all the routines. We knew all that. I mean, we like, when one of the kids, when other kids were like quoting money Python, my group could quote Derek and Clive, and like we would always go for the

even deeper stuff. Yeah. You know, yeah, was that, that's the kind of comedy we liked. And so, you would, you're not the kind of person that would get up in front of everyone else and do something when you're in high school or grade school. I'd feel a little, no. Yeah, not quite. Yeah.

people to in order to do it? Yeah, I had to, well, it's weird. For the first thing that I did was because

“I was so reluctant to go up. I did this bigger version of myself to hide the fact that I'm not”

comfortable with myself being up here. So, it was a very much a stage persona and a stage presence. And it took me like six years to work through that. It wasn't until I moved to San Francisco four years into it. I started seeing comedians like Brian Posane and Margaret Chow and Greg Baron and Greg Proops that were actually themselves on stage rather than, hey, I'm talking you know, you're going on. I got to get into my state. They could literally be mid sentence. I'll be

right back and they would just go up and talk. And so now it doesn't really feel like I'm nervous when I'm on stage because I've become so comfortable just being up there and going, this is what's going on. And here, you know, and I've also got over the whole, let me point out what's stupid about the world. And here's my cool take. Now my point of view was so much more looking to this idiotic thing I did. You're not going to believe this. Like it's more insightful that

way. But it's weird. I had to get over that by first embracing that out of nervousness. And then

I can just kind of be myself. It takes years to grind that out of you to the point where you can go up and say, I know who I am. You know who I am. Yeah. That's one of the things on the one hand. I'm so glad with a lot of the new online media and cell phones and social media that people have way easier access to their, the gatekeepers don't quite have the power that they used to have. I don't think there are gatekeepers. That really, there's, there's not really any more. But

the one bad thing about it is what you just talked about. The years that it takes for you to get through that persona sometimes and become yourself. A lot of people because they're immediately filming themselves as they start. They're not, they don't have those years in the wilderness that people like my generation had where you figure out who you are. And a lot of people were getting stuck in a very early persona that they're comfortable with. But as they grow and mature and

evolve, they're like, I don't want to do that anymore. I want to do this thing. You know, like, I just think of all of the, the rock stars that we know and love now that would if they had been stuck in their early personas forever. Well, I brought, you know, my example was if the current world had existed in 1962. Yeah. Everyone would have been sick of the Beatles before that even got to the Ed Sullivan show. Yes, because they would have seen, I mean, no matter where you're on

the world, you've seen thousands of hours of videos, them in the Cavern Club. And then British Beetlemania, they're touring over there in the Netherlands, they're in Germany, they're, and then they're coming to the Ed Sullivan show. Yeah, we know. We know them. And you know what? I think their best work was their early work. Yeah. It's us that was the big introduction. Yeah. They had been had their legendary, where did they come from? Where did this come from? These haircuts. Yeah. And so

“and we would have seen a version of the Beatles and that's how we would have pegged them.”

Yeah. They would have been the ones in the German strip club in Hamburg in the leather jackets, lighting condoms on fire and throwing them into the audience and doing antics and being crazy. Like that's the Beatles I know. Yeah. And then by the time Brian Epstein got ahold of him made them the ones that begin, they're like, I don't know. Put the lip. You got your goofballs. Yeah. Yeah, we wouldn't have accepted it. No, I think that's, that's, it's weird to say, but it was a luxury.

Although now there seems to be a quiet rebellion against that where they're, they're does seem to be whatever the generation after Alpha, a lot of them seem to be like, you don't need to film me yet. I'm, we'll wait until I figure it out, which is, because they're learning from the mistakes of the ones that came before them. Yeah. A lot of the influencers that are now trapped in the, oh God, I got a, I got a muck bang again. That's what people want. I got eight, 10 cans of

big beans if I want to sell my new book. I don't know. Anyway, my guess today is Conan O'Brien. Conan, Joe coming out. Yeah. Conan, why you weren't a yodding cat. Oh, oh, I'm hoping I thought I tried in 1982, but I thought I should bring back out again. You look like an idiot. Um, you know,

“one of the things that your fame and your success is not wasted on you because you get to do all these”

things that you're genuinely passionate about. Yeah. You get to dip into these projects and these things not just stand up, but there are so many different ways that you have taken your, you know, natural ingrained obsessions and then you get to jump into your in this Star Trek strange new world. Yeah. And you're, you're like, this is, I could picture you. If someone suggested this to you

when you were 11 or 12, you'd say that's that's insane. That could never happen. Right. And also the

fact that I am in a show that is being made by people that grew up at the same time as me, that loved Star Trek that that also went. But what if this thing had like everything that you

I'm playing a Vulcan, but it's a Vulcan who's obsessed with human culture and as they dug.

“His name is, he's a Vulcan named Doug, which is my favorite thing. But his parents were obsessed”

so they gave him. It's the same way as like people like hippies giving their kids names, you know, like like American Indian names or yeah, you know, like Star Trek. Yeah. Exactly. So why wouldn't that happen in another culture? Why wouldn't they try to do that? And he unlike Spock who has kind of struck this balance. He's so clumsy with it. Yeah. But because he really loves it. And that's a really real Vulcan with an artistic edge within artistic edge of that. Because his art even logical,

how can you be a Vulcan who's like, well, that is it. I mean, I'm not, it's, I'm just curious, how it all comes together. It comes together of, I have to play it of all of my, the way that I usually impartion about something like on movie or something. But what if I have to, I'm forced by my

biology to always feel trip through this calm logic and what would that feel like? So it's always

just like kind of bubbling underneath. And you can see him wanting to, you know, kind of pop up a little bit, but he's like, no, that's not what Vulcan's do. That's, I'm not capable of doing that even though I'm feeling does he wake and bake? Because he is constantly still very logical. I'm going to require a couple of days of bed rotting. Like there's, you know, like, I don't really know what, what I've broken artists would do like that. Yeah, how would he? I am not feeling this,

which is strange because I should not be ruled by my feelings. And yet there is not, never thought of it, you know what? I'm doing some more episodes, so maybe they'll just go talk about that. Yeah, exactly. You know, it's a possibility. I'm, there's another obsession I've had, and my head writer, Mike Swenie, has it as well. We're both obsessed with the show that ran pretty much at the same time at Star Trek called Lost in Space. Oh, totally. Lost in space is

insane. And when you watch Star Trek, it is, it looks like the most, the highest art possible when you compare it to Lost in Space. Yeah. And there are these clips on that you can watch on YouTube and, and the character to keep your eye on is Dr. Smith, Dr. Zach for many reasons. For many reasons, he's played by Jonathan Harris, who doesn't just choose scenery, he and hails it into his

lungs and, and then shits it out. It is amazing, but really incredible. And the story lines,

“I think everyone was on acid who wrote this TV show, but my, the other day, I happened on one where”

an alien ray turns Dr. Smith into a hippie. And he's got long hippie hair, and he's dancing. And of course, you know, you're like, and, and there's a crazy wacky, because there's the clearly the show is trying to get down with the scene. Yeah. It's, it's a bunch of 51-year-old writers probably at a Renoir or Warner Bros. Like, see this in the paper? Can we work this into the, work this in an episode, the hippie thing? Yeah. It'd really happen, but how would there be hippies in

this space? I'd just a ray just to start with a ray. No, everything's just a ray. Yeah, yeah. And then they would, they would clearly, to come up with ideas, go to the prop shop at Warner Bros. or wherever, and then say, hey, I just found a giant Cleopatra, you know, uniform. Okay, there's a big puff of smoke and a Cleopatra alien shows up. And she has a ray that turns them all into

“mummies. Yeah. Like, they just worked backwards from the costume available. What's available?”

Yeah. There's somebody pointed out there's a, there's a episode of the outer limits that is was, was the basis of the movie, the Terminator, by Harlan Allison, called Soldier. And there's a helmet that this future soldier wears in his future soldier battles. And that helmet is the helmet that Robin Williams wears in the opening episode of more committee when he comes to the same one. And again, it's the same one. But then we're just like, we need, like Gary Marshall,

he should wear some kind of outer space. So what's, can we use this? Like, they're just in the, like you said they're in the warehouse and put that, that's his alien thing. That's like the famous guy in Parsley's back, evacuating Cloud City is carrying the space equipment, but it's actually an ice crew maker. Yeah. You can hear it turning away and they've given him a name and a whole back story. They've written him into the thing. He's a guy. And that ice cream maker, someone found out that

they, if you look at it, someone mashed it with it at the time. It was that they just clearly

just spray painted it white and go here. Yeah. But then they worked that prop into the first season

of the Mandalorian. It's a thing for transporting like biological matter. So they have a watery that into the, yeah. So that's what they were doing. You could, I mean, the liveness world that's so,

amazing documentary where you, someone could make an amazing documentary where they track a prop

that's made in the 1950s for like a, like a goofy movie. But then it shows up here. But then it shows up there because people didn't throw stuff away. No. And it went back into the prop room.

“And I've been in some of the prop warehouses. There's stuff like, oh, if you should shoot”

this from a different angle, this could work as this. Yeah. But all those, there's a Tom Sharpling, I mentioned earlier, does the best show does hilarious. Yeah. So funny. He did this thing. I, I think about it like once a week. And I didn't know this till he pointed out, you know, they show the monsters. Yeah. Of course. Yeah. There's 73 episodes to that show. Do you how many seasons they ran? Two, two, two. Yeah. And so they were cranking that thing out.

And Tom was like, this is a writing session on the monsters. Have we put Herman in a, like, a baby bonnet holding a rattle yet? And we, all right, right that end. I'm going to go to moose to and Franks have four martinis in a steak and then drunk drive home. I'll see you tomorrow. Like that is how those shows were, what do we have? What can we use? Yeah. We, we got to do 38 of these. But also no one was thinking about reruns. No. No one was thinking about this being a body of work.

“Box set or box set. No one's thinking about that. Everyone's thinking, get this thing done,”

get it out. And then let's do another one. Let's get our check. And then we'll go to moose one Franks and drink it one o'clock in the afternoon. Oh, and there's Jack Webb at the next table. And he's completely smashed. Yeah. He can he six martinis ahead. Yeah. Yeah. But you look at these shows and you just see they weren't afraid to use all the same plots. Nope. There's an old actors. Yeah. Over and over and over. And the same, the, the plots over and over and over again.

I mean, there's there's within the same show, different characters. Yes. Yeah. And one thing that was, I don't know how many times when I was a kid growing up watching different TV sitcoms and reruns. I'd see the two people have a fight. So it's like the skipper and Gilligan on Gilligan's Island have an argument. So they paint a line down the middle of the, of the, of the hot. And then it's used to on your side. I'll stay on mine. But your side has the, has the door. Then you'll have to

use the window. You know, but your side, my side has the food well, then you could, you know, it's and, and then you'd watch the monsters and, and Grandpa and Herman have a fight. And they paint a line down the middle of the row. And then you watch their monkeys. And they do it. You're just like, no one had any shame about number 17. Yeah. Let's crank it up for this way. Yeah. Let's do a number nine

on them. Yeah. We got to get less than I got to get my martini that it's 1230. And it always was

on why you're lying to that. Yeah. That kind of stuff is, and also they, they didn't understand, well, they didn't, because no one could predict it. YouTube, freeze frame, you know, being able to capture a little moment or like, oh my god, look at this in the background. You know, there's, there's an episode of that that showed the naked city. Yes. Yeah. Uh, which was shot just handheld in New York in the early 60s, which now it's so valuable, because A, it's all this stuff in New York.

It doesn't exist anymore. They just casually filmed. And also it's all the first roles people like Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duval. So, and they're all in this, as, as, as like day players. But there's a, there's an episode with Burgess Meredith where he plays a Greenwich Village poet who wakes up drunk and there's been a murder and he doesn't know. Um, and he stops at a new stand to look at the paper like, what day is it? And behind him on the new stand is copies of

amazing fantasy number 15, which is the first appearance of Spider-Man. Wow. Just hanging there.

And anyone, and there's not person just put those up. Now, or they went to that news that we just film here and find done and then just walked and you know when the, the, the, the comics came the next week. I was like, well, these didn't sell. Boom. Like, that's like, that's millions of dollars and props just hanging there in the background. No one used to think there would ever be freeze frame available. So they, and more in line with

what we were saying, which is people were just cranking the stuff out and moving on. No one ever thought that they'd be whole cults of people that love to hate watch. And then have the power of freeze frame.

“So recently, I think Maddo Brian and I are swinging. I were watching one of the Death Wish”

movies with Charles Bronson. And there's a scene where Charles Bronson wants to kill these guys in a restaurant. And it's the most insane plot. He comes in and pretending to be a wine salesman. He takes out, and not kidding. He takes out, you know, he should just go in there with the gun and kill the people who are sitting in a boat. And he doesn't every other scene. I know. This one, he comes in, pretentious to be a wine salesman. And he goes over to their table and says,

well, we're okay. Because it's spoken like a true wine. Exactly. And he goes like, hey, it's red. You have a sea red. You have a sea red. But you didn't think that's something new. If you're red, it's wet and it's red. And it's wet on your mouth. You can sit it. And he,

“he says, he, I think he opens the bottle and he sets it down in front of them. And then he gets”

real nervous. And a guy says, who's sitting at the table with the other mob figures says, hey, don't I know you when he goes, I don't think so. I got to go. And he's trying to get away because clearly something's up with this bottle of wine. And the guy goes, I think I know you. And then

Charles Bronson squirms away. And basically, he runs off and runs into the kitchen of the restaurant.

Covers is here. It's like Wiley, Coyote. And there's a huge explosion. You cut back to the table. There's a huge explosion. Freeze frame. You have freeze frame now. So what they did was, yeah, there we go. Hey, we cut to Charles Bronson running away and going to the kitchen putting his hands over his ears. They cut back to the table. They replaced the mobsters with mannequins and put them in the same suits. It looks terrible. And it's just two frames. But you can

freeze on it. And some of these guys are mannequins. And then I guess they tried a real explosion, but it didn't work. So they just did. One of those things where they made smoke go in front of the the film in some awful way. So you see these guys freeze frame. And then you're like, they were just trying to get through the day. And I'm watching it over and over and you have it, over and over and over again. And I'm just overjoyed. Do you want to see the clip or just the mannequins? I want to

see it. I can edit it down. Yeah, edit it down. Go ahead. Let her own. Let her own. Let's have some fun. By the way, when they read this explosion, Charles had already left. Mr. Bronson's already left. Just do this. He's not here anymore. He starts by convincing him that he's really, he got a good one. This is late death wish you can tell by his costume, too. Yeah, exactly. Not bad. Let's see what your customers say. No, I don't think that's a good idea. They'll love it.

I'm just going to randomly pour liquor for you. Yeah, I'm not going off the street. Lucky day today, but I'm a wine on the other side. Hey, not bad. Hey, don't I know you from someplace? I don't think so. Is that Danny Tree? Yeah, it's Danny Tree. Wow. I know you've faced. Did you ever live in San Francisco? I'm from Idaho. I think I've got a brother and I know. What city? I'm from Idaho.

I'm crazy. I'm pretty sure I'm opening up, but don't you? I know you. I never met him.

You gotta go back and freeze. Oh, my God. Go back and freeze. Okay. Looks like it's right. It knocks Barry farm. Oh, my God. Isn't that great? Why? Why? You know, the sunglasses guys not so bad, but the Danny Tree. Oh, my God. Danny Tree. Oh, they did not. I mean, that is. Isn't that one of the great? You want to put a mustache on this Gregory Peckman. Can we have this close enough? I don't know what to tell you.

Look at the stains on the ceiling. You're like, I know. I just...

“I just... But here's the thing. I always say there's good and bad in everything, and when people”

to cry this new arrow we're in, I think of the joy that I've had on YouTube. Oh, being able to freeze-frame people just trying to get through the day or they're making this TV show in the 60s. They're doing the best they can. They don't think anyone's ever going to look at it.

You don't air once. You're just going to watch it again. Why would you? They're never going to

win it. Someone's going to... There's going to be a thing called DVDs. They're going to collect every episode and put it in a butt. That doesn't make sense. Who would do that? It's going to be a cloud that anyone can see at any time. And people are going to have radio shows where they criticize it, over and over and over again. Yeah. Yeah. People are going to have, hang on. A red-headed giant's going to freeze-frame this. M. He's going to sit with a hobbit and they're going to laugh

for hard work. That doesn't make sense. That'll never happen. You're in fear in La La Land. We'll be right back with more red-headed giant to have it. Talk to me about T and Scotch. This is, you've done, is this your 10th? 11th. 11th is my 11th. Who's counting it? Who's counting it? I mean, that's, I didn't even realize it was my 11th. So we were, they were putting together all the promo materials and what it looks like. This is my 11th. Right. So that's it. That's a, I mean,

this point now, I'm not trying to think in terms of, I think that like posterity, reputation,

“and cool, or just traps. You have to get in the way of you doing the work you're supposed to be doing.”

It's other people that sort out your legacy later. Yeah. Do the work now. So yeah. And it,

no, I get to do comedy and people want to come see me. And I get to do venues that I really love. And this is me at a very, very small club. I did a club. It's in Madison, called Comedy On Main, Comedy On State a couple of years ago. And it was, I hadn't done a club in like years. And they're like, hey, I was getting ready for doing another special thing. Why don't you do this little club to get ready? And the show was so electric that audience is right there. And I was like, how do I shoot something in

“this space small? So that's what I did. I directed it. We set up the, you can see the other cameras,”

the lights like I wanted it to look raw. I wanted it to be, I just, I don't, I don't fault anyone being in big theaters and arenas. That's fine. But there's something, I just don't, it's like some rock and roll. It, when it gets too gigantic, it kind of loses the. No, I've had the same thought many times that that's why some music just sounds amazing in a small club. It's why some food just, I don't know what it is, but it tastes better when it's a small restaurant big and damn that you've

grabbed you now. You're walking around like if you're just right there. Yeah, I had a small studio for the late night show. Six A was a very small studio. And I remembered seeing it for the first time at thinking, this is too small. We need something bigger because we got to do crazy ideas. We're going to have a triumph of the comic dog. And we're going to have, you know, you know, all these crazy characters and we're going to do this big stuff. It turned out it was such a blessing to have this small space. And I

“think that's something that's, I now don't take for, I don't take it for granted. I think it's”

really good for something like this is even in that, even in that small space, you feel that clock ticking till the next commercial break. We can get out things that you can't get at on a TV panel segment because there's no clock ticking. We're going to talk and talk and we'll cut out some of

the rough spots, but we're actually talking and there's a whole different, you know, what you always

said about S.C. TV, it's the least needy sketch show ever done. And this format is not needy. And doing a doing this smaller club, there was so less neediness about it because we're all right here. Yeah, I'm not like, oh, God, I got this big theater. I'm going to make the count. This is like, we're doing a few shows. This little club. I can be loose. Yeah. And when I'm learning, especially from, I don't know if you've seen Josh Johnson, right? Yeah, incredible. The turnover now is so much

quicker. I can shoot this stuff, get it up on, I'm on a new platform called 800-pound gorilla gorilla comedy plus and get it up on YouTube so much quicker and be so much more immediate. And so that feels like, oh, one less gatekeeper. Now I can just, and I can set up the next one. Like,

once this comes out June 9th, I'll never do that material again. I'm working on the new stuff,

and it just keeps me working and there's just so much less pressure. It just feels so much better. Yeah, you know? And the themes are exploring, are they new themes? Well, there is or anything new in this that, I mean, obviously your stuff is always, it's always fresh material, but is there a theme that has surprised you that's come along at this stage in your life? Yeah, the thing that has surprised me is I'm becoming way more, and that I was kind of touching on this a little bit

in the last special we all scream to, is that I'm becoming way more comfortable with being

“overwhelmed and not having an answer to things. And I think that comes with, I'm a big believer in,”

you got to know when it's time to let the next generation come up and maybe they have the answers that you don't, I think a lot of people whitenuckle their youth and they whitenuckle their authority, and you got to go, and you can still, I'm going to do comedy forever. I love doing stand-up, but there will be this embracing of, this is beyond me, like I do a whole thing about AI and the whole point of the bid is at one point of like, I don't have an ending to this because this is such

a massive subject, but that is so much more honest that I'm overwhelmed by the horror of this. And I think that's a thing that a lot of comedians are nervous to embrace is that you will eventually come to a point where like, I don't know what this is, I don't know what is happening. This is, you know, I did my part, you guys got to do your part, I'm going to talk about the weirdness now off to the sides. When someone tells me they're not sure, I am immediately attracted to them. I like them,

and I trust them. Yeah. When someone tells me, I know exactly what's going to happen. And I know

all things, I want nothing to do with them, and there's a kind of comedy that I never been a

big fan of, which is I know and you don't. Let me tell you how it is. Yeah. I'm going to, I'm here to tell you how it is. I'm here to tell you how it is, and then I've always liked people that admit that

a way out here. It's what we talked about the last of the most on the show that your term wisdom rock. Yeah.

Okay, wisdom rock. It's that let me take my hand. No, you're 20. And there's a lot of that now in stand up. I think Mark Marin said there's some comedians doing comedy. There's some comedians holding rallies. Yes. And that was such a, yes, that's kind of what's going on. And we need to get back to the confidence of someone that can get up there and go, I have no idea. Yeah, I don't know what is going on. Maybe we will get to that. But that's that's where I am. And I'm so much more comfortable

being. Yeah. And then, and also being able to look back at some of my earlier stuff where I was

“doing me, tell you guys how it is. Oh, you're 23. That's why I just say that because you know,”

which is a, that's also kind of real wisdom is when you're like, let me tell you what a idiot I was. He's the thing that's kind of stuff. Yeah. If you could laugh at yourself at that period. Yes, there's a lot of that. And there's a lot of just very raw. There's, there's a lot of my daughter. It's, it's, there's a teenager. There's a teenager. And so now it's becoming more about, oh, she's actually right about this and I'm not. And maybe I need to like, okay, you, you figure this out.

That, it's also an interesting place to get to where it used to be like, oh, here's this goofy thing that my daughter did. And we got to help guide. Or now it's like, oh, my daughter just explained this thing to me that I didn't understand. Yeah. And just completely laid it out for me. So that's really interesting. The roles have shifted. How old are your, um, there's a late 40s. Oh, wow. So

“my daughter now has nine. No, I have a daughter who's 22 and a son is 20. And, you know,”

what, they've been smarter than me for so long. And you will attest to that. Absolutely. They were some when they were a kid. Little kids and would come by the office. Yeah. They were not having my bullshit. Anything technology related. We'd just be like, ask Beckett. Yes, it was like six years ago. The times that I've handed my phone or iPad over to Alice and go, can please, oh, me. Yeah, make it do the thing. Make this screen go away. I've handed that thing to her. Oh, boy. Yeah. Well,

T and Scotch is coming out. It's going to be on YouTube. And it's June 9th. And I'm really looking

forward to it. Thanks. You're always funny and delightful. I just, I'm going to end with this.

You were on my TV show 44 times. Oh, yeah. Well, I, I, I looked that up today and even the, the, the computer was upset and it's too many as anybody, right? On this part. Thank you Ben. This is the fourth time. So, yeah, which doesn't. But it's always, it's always funny. Like, even you were on the show on TBS this long as I've been working for. When we knew you were coming on, we knew we were going to laugh. Yeah. And that it was going to be just a really good. Well,

but also when I came on to this show, I knew that, yes, we would do pre interviews. But it was always like, it'll turn into us going, how man, this thing. Yeah. And that's going to be better than anything. Yeah. That's going to be better than anything. Yeah. That's good. It's the stuff that

you know, it was dessert. It was like, oh, I can relax a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. So that I was always

very, and I know, I speak for a lot of convenience. We're like, oh, when you're on coining, you're just, you're actually talking with someone else that understands comedy. And it's not, we're looking for a good punch line every 10 seconds. It's right. Right. Hey, we can just chill. Let's talk. And it's always end up being way more funny because I'm good. Yeah. Listen, it's, it's a, a mids for a blessing anytime. You, you come by. Please come back for anything and

everything. My daughter and her friends watch old Conan clips, the NBC show at like there's police framing. Look, Conan's a mannequin. Just before you. You keep trying to hide that stuff. No, you embrace, you embrace it. You embrace it the same way that like, STTD will like, we don't have any money. Look at this. Yeah. Yeah. But I just love the way that they will react to, like, whenever they showed her already candle, the singing goes. Yes. Yeah. And the whole thing was like,

he just makes it worse and worse. Like, every time he's like, well, let me do this one, don't fill it in. And then it's 10 times what like they just love that it just, he was a truner, a bright stack as a lunar ghost who would come on the show. And he was a ghost. And then he would sing, because he died in the 30s, he would sing songs that were sexist, racist, you know, all this stuff. And I bet also that he thinks you're like, you're welcome. Here's a nice little talk. And it's

“always the worst thing you've ever liked. Oh, I got to look, Conan, I got a little son about the”

Irish. Oh, he ever slept. Yeah. I was love to drink and move it. All this stuff that's not appropriate anymore. And then I, I mean, I think in one episode I said, I'm surprised people stood for this,

murdered. Once you're women threw me down a well. And then you're like, well, good. He goes, hey,

“you have a hot Irish temper. I wrote a little song about it. And then it's the worst thing. Well,”

you've ever, and it also, but like that stuff of, by the way, and I remember I watched the very first

Arty Kendall sketch I was in a hotel room in New York. I watched, it's the one, the very first one where you don't let him finish his third song because you're just like, nope, we're cutting away. And I had to rewatch it to say that I was, it's about the Irish. Yeah, Irish people's brains are made of corn. Yeah. And, and I, and I texted Brian Stack, I was like, I am laughing so hard at this guy, Arty Kendall, and now there's like collections on. It's like YouTube is like this mini

criterion collection of great comedy sketches now. No, I, I just, uh, always love we'll shout out to

Brian Stack and shout out to and also my favorite conceit is that I was always supposed to be the

“host to, but I would entertain all our sketches for me saying, okay, Rubin, what's that, sir?”

Yes, I'm a beekeeper and I'd be like, well, uh, okay, you can have, like, I in no way,

say no, this is a show. I'm always saying, well, okay, what are your nine rules for living forever,

mummy from the future? I'm a crazy man off the street, okay, crazy man, take your ten minutes. Yeah. So you're at the bottom of the decision making ladder on the show that you're hosting

“has my name in it. Pat now as well, we salute you. We love you. Come on back. 44 times, please. Oh,”
