Zach Galifianakis Returns

I have to say I feel up, Zagalphanakis. You don't? You don't seem up.

“I can tell it to me, I'm gonna be friends.”

I can tell it to me, I'm gonna be friends. Hey there, and welcome to Connor and Brian needs a friend. Join by Sonom of Sassian. Hi. And, um, wow.

Let's pop it up a little bit. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.

I wish you were a voice on Siri. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.

Hi. No one would, there'd be no follow-up for Siri. What else can I help you with? Forget it, Siri. And David Hopping, you're a Cheery Chat.

Hello. Good to see you. You too. Son, you asked me to do a lot of favors. And I want to talk about this.

What? Yeah, you do. You asked me to do a lot of favors. Can you do this for me? Can you do that for me?

You know, it's Armenian this week and it's Armenian that week. Can you do a thing for me? And it's sometimes I want you to know that it's a little much. You take advantage. Can you do a blur for my book?

Can you also write an intro? Then an outro? I mean, what's going on? Do you see me and just see a dormant? Is that what you see?

Oh my God. What if I get you a dormant? And instead of saying welcome, it's just my face. Because you walk all over it all the time anyway. It's so unfair.

I'm so mad. I hate asking you for favors. I know. Well, you don't hate it too much. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. You, how could you hate it that much? It's going so hard. I hate building a mess.

“How many times do I tell you, Conan agreed to do something for me?”

Like that? Guess what? I'm an owl saying, I hate hooting. Ho ho ho ho ho ho. I sure hate it.

Ho ho ho ho ho. 23 hours later. Ho ho ho. I sure hate it. Ho ho ho.

Oh my God. I mean, that's my impression. If you were an owl and asking a favor was hooting, it'd be hooting a lot. So it's good, it's good for you to explain it.

I hate asking you for favors. There are so many things people ask me to ask you that I specifically say, you filter stuff out. Yeah. How could there be more?

What are you talking about? Do you know how much stuff?

First of all, it's your fault.

Because you made me, oh, you put me on this podcast. People know who I am now. I'm attached to you for the rest of your life until you die. And so. Please, that's not for months.

Oh, come on, but it, it comes with, I'm sorry. You did it. It's, it's your, it's you. It's your fault. Your speech champion.

Oh, come on. Listen. Come on. I listen. I don't begrudge you anything.

Yes, you do. I do. Of course. I do. I just made it though.

Front of the show. Yeah. It's a lot. And David, do I do a lot of favors for people? You do a lot of favors for everybody, not just Sona.

Yeah. David, I'm sorry. I don't want to. You do favors forever. You do favors.

Raise your hand. I don't know. It's ever done a favor for you. Yeah.

The only, I actually never.

Well, your Aquaman figurine got stolen from your apartment. You asked me to put up posters. And I did. I never. Then when your Ironman got stolen, I put up posters for that.

That's right. He offered. Then when you're several hundred of your other figurines were stolen. You asked me to call the police for you. And I did it.

That's right. It was very nice. I'm just, I never asked for favors. But I know that you would help me out. The only favor of ever asked you for is when you were in my short film.

And you did it. Yes. So don't say I, you never asked me for favors. Yeah. But in 25 years, I've asked you for one thing.

Can I ask you a question? If you had a movie you made. That's a big favor. When you, I'm just saying you can't start by saying I never asked for favors. Except for that one time when you did me a huge favor.

I'm trying to help you in your argument with Sona. Why are you attacking me? Because when I see you, I see red. Yeah. You're like, I'm a, I'm a bull and you're a giant red blankie.

It's just slapping around in the wind. You do a lot of favors for everybody. And there, I don't know that you've ever asked any of us for a favor. You know, basketball robins. I famously, I think, had 38 favors.

I think I do more than 38 favors. I think I do more than 38 favors. I don't know. Our whole job, our whole job was doing stuff for you. That's our whole job.

You get paid for that. I got you your lunch today. I ordered you a leave. Can we talk about that? Yeah.

Yeah. Hey, if people know out there that I occasionally take a leave. I don't know what you like to keep secret. No, that's a secret. No, and let's now have my leave.

“You know, that's why I always when I throw out my leave bottles.”

I always, I was trying to throw them out and someone else's trash can.

Because no one can know that I occasionally have some muscle stiff. I don't have time for this bit.

I'm so mad right now.

You're, are you really mad?

“You don't do what the leave thing right now?”

Because I want to address this accusation. I'll leave it for now. Home run. Okay, wait a minute. There's too much to unpack here.

As the kids say these days, I hate that saying, but my wife is at all the time. We, and sometimes she says it while we're unpacking the trip. And then I think, okay, whatever. Anyway, let's revisit this later on in the show and get to our next guest. Okay.

My guest today is a very funny actor and comedian who started in the hangover movies. Now you can see him in the new AMC series, The Audacity. And he is a new gardening show called This is a gardening show. How does he come up with these names? He's truly one of the funniest people I know.

Does that go off an act? It's welcome. When I walk into a room, I'm used to people. I mean, even pretty big stars are like, whoa, it's him. You know?

And then I walked in today and you, your heart beats like one beat every two hours.

You were just sitting there totally unimpressed at Conrad Brian and walked into the room. What would you like one to do when you were from? No. I've got like no. It seems insincere.

Whoa, look at that guy. What a bra. So good to see you. Hey, bra. Yeah, that's the real me.

Well, I mean, we go way back. I've known you for many years. You've been showbiz way. Early, early days.

“You used to come on my show and you were always hilarious.”

And if we don't look at your watch. Oh, geez. The fuck was that? It time is moving slow. So we can cut this show.

I was trying to compliment him about how funny he was. And this is before America had Zach Galifonakis fever. Um, this is back when they had Conan fever. And I lent some of my fever to Zach Galifonakis. And then America had the very contagious Zach Galifonakis fever.

Yeah, I like to call it sizzle. I still have a sizzle. You sizzled in sizes. All the way to the late 90s, 2000s. Did you guys get my sizzle real?

I sin it over. You got your sizzle real. It's past tense. The past tense of sizzle. You sizzled back in the day.

You used a sizzle. In the early 2000s, no one's sizzled like you. You're not going to like this, but I adore you. I think you're a wonderful fellow. One of my favorite comedy pieces of work is your work on between two firms.

I think it's absolutely hysterical. Thank you. And um, in doors. And I resent you for that. Why are you resentful?

It does seem, I know you joke about it. But I do think there's a tin. Oh, it's all real. Yeah, I do think there's a tin. There's a tin.

Because you are very funny. And you are, but also, is it my height? Is that what you? Is that what you wish you were more like me about? I do.

I wish I was closer to these. So my size of my head is that what you wish you had. Parking meter head. Parking meter body. Whatever this is.

You get what you're upset about. People try and foot time in your head so that they can keep their car there a little longer. So what I wish you had a seven syllable last name. I do. No.

You are very funny. You're one of the funniest people I know. And yet you seem grounded. And I don't know how to do that. I mean, this guy, he is of the earth.

Yeah. He seems like he's got it all together. He seems like he emotionally wants for nothing. That doesn't seem fair. I mean, yeah, I get some chops.

But I'm constantly wrecked with these royaling season. Is I podcast turned into like a one man show. Like the light shit shifts. We don't need you to talk during this part. In fact, you don't have to be here for this.

You're just here to get it started. And then I do the rest. Have you listened to the podcast? It's pretty much me. Yeah, I mean, really, it is.

You're really taking the floor here. Yeah, I am. But I appreciate all that stuff. I, I don't know if it's true or not. But I, I, I, I, I grounded is a good.

Is it an interesting word? I'll be serious for a second. And then we'll go back to my one man show. You are hilariously funny. And then very, I'm, I'm heart pressed to think of anybody who's been less altered by success.

You just seem like if all of it went away tomorrow. You'd be very happy and contained doing whatever you're doing. And I love that about you. I think that second part is correct.

“I think I feel, I, I am one of these people that feels very fortunate to be working.”

And, but the first part about like having success or whatever being known. That threw me for a, that really messed me up. Not in a, what was me.

But I just, no one never asked me any questions until I was in a movie with a monkey.

[laughter] So I just, I found that to be odd that switch.

And I was older.

“And I think I just, the BS of this, this business or whatever is, it's always been laughable too.”

From a small town. I have, I, I think I have a chip on my shoulder when I moved here. And I, I don't know, I think that's kind of healthy. But I, it affected me for a while. And I feel kind of embarrassed by it actually.

But yeah. But I remember it, the height of hangover mania. I was went to some event someplace. And there were a bunch of, might have been like on a Hollywood Boulevard or I had to go into some event. And there were all these people outside the venue.

There was like a spider man and there was a Superman, whatever a Batman.

And there was a guy who I, I thought it was you for a second.

And I thought, oh, there's that. I'll say hi. And then I realized it's not you. It's a, it's a, that Galphanicus impersonator with a fake baby and a baby Bjorn from the movie. From the movie.

From the movie. And it's so, I had a moment. I had a moment. That you thought maybe that was me in the outfit. That from the movie.

I didn't, but can I tell you something? I didn't clock the outfit right away.

“I just saw, I have a corner of my, and by the way, you were known to promote that movie very hard.”

But, but, and all the sequels, but no, I just had a moment of thinking because I know you. I know that that would have bummed you out. That would have, yeah. You know what's interesting is, as I, I wanted to do this experiment once. And I had the wardrobe.

This was many years after we did the hangover movies. I had the wardrobe sent to me because I was in Vegas and I wanted it to look like how pathetic it was that the actor got into his outfit and was trying to get recognized. And I did it. But no one came up.

It was so embarrassed. It, no one did it. The experiment failed. But, yeah, the, the hangover was big. That was a big change.

Right. And, but I do think it's good for people to hear from you that because, and we talk about this a lot on the pod. But are you too busy to say podcast? Yeah. Yeah.

You should do a talk about that. I don't have the tie to do it.

“I, I'm fascinated by this idea that there's a lot of envy surrounding this crazy weird business.”

And people thinking, oh my god, is that would all your dreams would come true. What I found is that it's a magnifying lens. It just magnifies things. So if you're insecure, you will become more insecure. If you tend to be angry, you'll become a rage at all.

If you are someone who's capable of feeling gratitude and appreciate the people around you, those things can be enhanced. But, but I, I do think there's a, you know, maybe so. That's a good way of looking at it. Yeah. But I, I was angry about it to be honest.

I, I was intimidated by it because I thought as a comedian to not be able to observe, because you, because you had to meet distractions of trying to hide or whatever, it intimidated me. And I, I got weirded out by it. But now that I'm old, I, like, none of it matters. And then, you know, who cares, but it's, it was a change.

Yeah. It was a change. Yeah.

I've always tried to picture because I know that your success didn't happen right away.

And I knew you were for a bunch of years where you'd come on our show and be really funny. But the whole thing hadn't quite jelled or clicked yet. And then, I, and I was this bus boy at a strip joint till I was 28. Yes, I was going to get to that. Yeah, you were, you were. I was, and I try to picture you in these real jobs in the series.

Oh, so. We're, we're with my briefcase. Yeah. I do think that's a real job. I can't seem going to work, honey.

No, but I had to wear like a cumber bun. It was like a fancy, and it was a strip joint. Yeah, on part. You were in New York probably at this time. It was from string fellows.

Yes. So I worked on it. I had a table there. Yeah.

I never saw you come in, thank goodness.

No, I, I was, it was, and the guy that I moved to New York, New York with who women to college together. He was the cashier at the strip joint. And he ended up being Jimmy Fallon's head writer. Right. 80 miles.

If you know 80 miles. So we're all the best headwriters come from. Cool. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I'm curious because I'm trying to picture you in a situation where you have the comedy mind that you have, but you're doing a job like that. You're, you know, you're working at a strip club. We would say you were a us boy. Bus boy.

Bus boy. You're wearing a cumber bun. And it had a cumber. Do you know what a cumber is? No.

It's a little metal stick that you take out of your pocket and you get the crumbs off the tail. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think he came in a lot. Maybe it was another seven foot two legend.

He was seven feet two inches tall.

But it wasn't that Wilk Chamberlain. Yeah. This guy was an accountant. Yeah. You know, very good one.

So were you funny at that job? And I bring it up because I know that when I did jobs. They weren't comedy related early on. I was deadly serious to the point where when they found out later on. Oh, I just got a job writing.

I'm leaving. They said. How you, there's no way you're a comedy writer. Because I was just dead serious. Never made a joke.

Just did my work. That makes sense.

“I think it, it comes with maybe being depressed.”

I don't know. What was your situation? I, the strippers. Uh, were not nice to me at all. I was really intimidated in the men that went in there.

We're not the men that I would want to hang out with anyway. So it was a weird situation. I don't remember trying to be funny. I'm sure with the others with miles that was working there. I'll tell a story.

I think I've told this story hopefully not here before.

But it's a fractured media. No one's heard it. Go ahead. And no one will. Uh, but.

[ Laughter ] Miles and I. Miles and I were getting ready for work. There was a snowstorm in New York. It was a blizzard.

I'll never forget. And it was in the mid-90s. And I'm putting my comber button on. Miles had just lost a thousand dollars from the register. It's.

It's mafia. Or it was. I think. And. So he was so worried.

He's had to go in and face the music. He'd lost this lost it. He wouldn't have taken it. He lost it. So I'm putting my comber button on.

And as I'm looking over. I lived in this closet. And I look up.

And Miles is tying issue.

And he says to himself. Didn't want me to hear it. Knowing he had to go face the music. This is worse than Bosnia. Oh.

[ Laughter ] Bosnia was going on at the time? Yeah. And that's what he compared. [ Laughter ]

And I'll never forget. How strong it is. Not wrong. Not wrong. He's not wrong.

He's not wrong. That owing string fellows, a thousand dollars, is worse than anything that happened. Well, if you know that the mafia may have. And then what happened?

I think what happened. We'd go to work. And the feds came in. They closed it down that day. And that was it.

A mysterious tip call came in. Yes. From a bus boy. [ Laughter ] That's friendship.

Yeah. But no.

“I was very serious at that job, I think.”

Yeah. We shot a bit once in Houston at like two in the morning. At a strip club. We'll be right back with the world's worst braggar. Yeah.

[ Laughter ] We were there to shoot some peace. And so I'm there. I think we were just trying to figure out because my show in Houston at the time.

This is like 1995, 96 aired like three in the morning. So I went to places at three in the morning to figure out if I could see anybody watching our show and who's up and watching TV at three in the morning. And that ended up being very funny.

I went to a bus station. I went to an emergency room. And I went to a strip club. And you walk in. And you see these beautiful naked women.

And you know, just my head turned into a Duke box cartoon. We're all the cherries come up. It's like, "I think ding ding ding ding ding." And coins came out when my mouth has like, "All the cartoon stuff like steam coming out of the ears are moving."

I can't believe it. Within 15 minutes, we had a problem with the camera. And we're trying to figure it out. And this completely naked, beautiful woman who would have been my fantasy of every way of 16.

Completely naked. And that way, a stitch of clothing comes up and starts to talk to me. And I'm like, "I'm sorry. Can you just give us some room?" Well, I got it.

We got an issue with this camera. And I ask you, "Me and you and your romance." No, no, me and... [laughter] I am not that polite to my balls.

To my balls. Imagine where they're by yourself. You can give us some room. Yeah. Pardon me, testicles?

No. I have a very different relationship with my testicles. But I know, I was remembered being kind of irritated, like, "Can she step back? We're trying to fix this lens?"

And I was realizing that, "Oh, my God, you get inwards. You get used to this right away." Like you're in there for 10 minutes. And suddenly it's like, "Come on, naked, gorgeous woman." Can you give me a break?

I need to get this shot. And behind the scenes, there's nothing... Like the women are talking about how much they hate the men that they have to. Like they, you know, so it's not... It's not thrilling backstage.

It's a whole different scene. So, that's where a constriper's love me. They just love me. Oh. Huh.

Yeah. What?

“I just, I think, I'm one guy that when I go under strip club.”

They're just like, "Wow, I love him." Yeah. When is the last time you've been in a strip club? Nineteen 69. Right.

I was six years old. Right. I was conceived of one. [laughter]

That story. You know what I didn't know? Why did I not know that you were at Serenet Live? You worked at Serenet Live for a very... That too weak.

Don't they do a two-week trial thing sometimes? They do. Yeah. I don't know. That's not how I came in.

But I remember thinking that we were on a two-week trial. My writing partner Greg Daniels and I thinking that was a two-week trial. But then later on, someone said, "No, you weren't a two-week trial." But you were a two-week trial.

“Honestly, when I got there, I thought I got hired as a cast member.”

Honestly, because I had auditioned twice. Right. And I was told you're going to go and be a feature person. And I said, "Great." And I got there and they said, "No, you're actually going to write."

Which either way, it didn't matter to me. I was just so thrilled that I heard that opportunity. It was a tough two weeks. Yeah. Because the table reads...

I think even if you're, you know, no people there. The table reads can be kind of brutal. I just remember I wrote a sketch. And it was... You could only hear the air conditioner in the room.

Yeah. I mean, I've been like that on stage. You know, yeah. So I'm kind of used to it. But there it was just...

And I remember, for some reason, I was sitting next to Tina, Fay, and I just remember her patting my shoulder. In a very calm... Not even in a sarcastic way. It was really calming.

And I'll never forget that.

It was actually meant a lot to me. But it was rough. But I was thrilled to be there. Yeah.

“But you don't know what you're doing when you get there, right?”

It takes a second to figure it out. And it's not... So many shows I've worked on since. And I, you know, obviously loved my time at SNL. And it was so formative for me.

But I've very much liked working in late night all those years. Because it felt like we were all working together a little more. You know, there's so much show to fill. There's... for years, it was, you know, five hours a week. You've got to fill.

There's no elbowing for room or real estate. Do you know what I mean? There's just... if someone has a good idea, everyone's like, "Oh my god, that's great. Let's do it." No one's...

I don't know, it's a fairly funny idea, but I'm not going to laugh because... And that's... So SNL definitely much more competitive. I don't know if it's like that as much anymore.

Why not? Because when I went back to host, I noticed, oh, it seemed much more loose and... Friendlier. Not that it wasn't friendly.

And when I was there for writing, but... But yeah, it was an honor to do it. I didn't have any bad feelings about it, except for, you know, the tumbleweeds going across the... The writers room.

Yeah. And that feeling of... When you put a sketch in, if it's not working it read through, you can see everybody flipping to see how many pages this is.

[laughter] So you'll have that moment. I'm supposed to do that. I do that all the time and table. [laughter]

I'm always like, "Do I have any more parts to this?"

[laughter] Scanning for my name. [music] You're bringing something that popped in my head. And I don't know if you and I've ever talked about this connection.

And maybe he doesn't want us to. But Tommy Blotcher wrote on Conan, right? Yeah. One of my favorite writers of all time. I think he happens to be the funniest person I think I've ever met.

He's that funny. And I knew that he left your show to go right. I'm prefer professional wrestling, right? Yes. He worked with us back in the '90s.

And I knew him through Andy Richter. From Chicago. From Chicago. And he brought... And for a while, Tommy didn't say anything.

And he was super quiet. And I just thought, "Well, I wonder if this guy's going to work out." And then he revealed himself in the writer's room and on paper to be the funniest guy. I gave him a shout out on Stern once because I was on Stern.

And Stern was kind of talking to me about it.

“So you must just hire like Harvard Lampoon guys.”

And I said, "No." It was like an Army guy. Yeah, I said one of the funniest guys I've ever... One of the funniest writers I've ever known. I don't think went to college.

Are you talking about Tommy? And I was talking about Tommy. And he said, "Who is that?" And I said, "Tommy Blotcher." So he...

Really brilliantly funny guy. He's on a level that I... I mean, the same level I would put you on, which is this... We used to do this bit back and forth to each other.

It was just really just the dumbest person. Right. And because Tommy's really good at dumb. And it would be like... Well, I don't know about drinking coffee or something.

Like it was always the most obvious.

And it always filled up with or something. Yeah. So one night, Tommy's had to spend the night at my house and we were both working together. We had to get up early the next morning for work.

And he's in the next room over. And it's seven in the morning. I'm up, but I'm just kind of basically waking up. And I hear Tommy say under his breath as he's waking up. What am I awake or something?

I fell in love with him. Yeah. And I used to beg...

Like he would make me laugh so hard.

Like I did want to leave him. So he, he, this is one of my proudest happy moments. He, I would do all these rifts in the writer's room that outrageous over the top. We're, I would almost play this over the top.

Hosts choose incredibly abusive. And I would come into a room and someone would start to talk. And I would say play. Yeah. But I remember at a time I was on this jag of sin.

Like once you have a big tall glass of shut up juice. And it was just a really stupid childish put down that I was doing. And I would do it whenever someone was taking a swag of something. I'd be like, a little more just after they had pitched something. I'd be like, oh, a little more shut up juice.

What the whistle was some. And they, Tommy left. Because he was going to go right for professional wrestling. And he told me, hey, you got a tune in. I wrote this for the rock.

He's taunting one of his opponents. And he tells him, why don't you go have a tall glass of shut up juice. And I was so thrilled. And I watched it and sure enough, the rock was like, hey, I'll tell you something. And he's got the money.

“He's like, maybe you should just go have the long tool glass.”

To a glass of shut up juice. And then they cut your people in the arena. And they're like, holding their heads like the rock got him. And then I think the following week someone had a sign that said shut up juice. And I was in heaven.

And that's a pale. No one knew. I didn't care if anyone knew that was me or not. And then those are the kind of things that make me super happy. And so, so Tommy.

One of the funniest. Yeah, such a funny guy. I'm curious like you and these other jobs. It's interesting to me that which I totally understand. You're not being this act.

Galifonakis that people would know. You're just grimly doing your job and trying to do it well. Which would describe probably you and I mean, I know that you were a nanny for a while. No, doing as a house cleaner.

I was cleaning the apartments in New York. Yeah, a couple years. Yeah, I was pretty pretty pretty quiet.

“I think, and then the comedy scene kind of maybe broke me out of my shyness, I think.”

Someone, as I performed more, I got a little bit more comfortable with that stuff. But yeah, those jobs will humble you. I mean, I, I, I moved to New York. Morning, not my, I did want my parents to have to like send me anything. Right.

And they never did. And I was pretty independent. But my father, he would send me things in the mail. I'm like, I'll go run to the mailbox. I'll kind of hope this is food.

I hope this is food, and I'm open it.

And it was always irregular underwear.

Just open it in the post office. It was light. I mean, maybe he was sitting there to be potato chips. But it was always irregular. Now he was wrapped in it, you know?

I don't know. Uh, irregular underwear. Yeah, it's, it's cheap. I dad was cheap. I also think there's something to, I used to think about this a lot.

When people get to know me and know my rhythm, this will be a little easier. And I think that would be very true of you. I mean, I always thought you would come on our show back in the day. And people didn't know you, you'd sit at a piano when you would tell these great jokes. But you never winked.

You never, you know, shot them a look like. You never ingratiated yourself with the crowd. You just completely went in and they had to accept you as you were.

“And I think you have to do that for a while in order to have people meet you halfway.”

I think that's a, I think you're right. I also think, immediately, I should say only.

I've always thought it's more interesting.

If you're just doing a stand-up bit like that, to have kind of a disdain for the audience. You know, I never was like, hi, I'm going to tell some like a friendly audience. Oh, right. Let's tell stuff.

He stand-ups come out. Like, what's up, Miami? God. That's a lot of money. You don't want to know how Miami's doing.

Miami is no concern or I respect the audience. I respect the audience. But I, the relationship with the audience via social media that got to, I've never participated. And I don't know how to do that. Yeah.

You have something that I'm not too familiar with called dignity. Yeah. And I told you a lot of stories that would go against that. Well, I mean, we've talked about it. I won't go into it.

But I do think that was particularly helpful to you when you did your famous, uh, between two ferns, uh, interview with Obama because you're the only person that, that gave him, I mean, you know, I know that this in any way was just you doing your comedy. But you were so rude as that person. And it's hilarious because I don't think anyone's talked to certainly as sitting president

Now, they don't do their court gesture. They don't do it. They just, they suck up to it. Yeah. So the comedians that have had, that are podcast that I have had Trump on,

that's, they're not doing their job. Yeah. Yeah. There. That's not the job of a comedian.

You are too challenged. Yeah. You were to make uncomfortable. You're not to sit there in fake laugh. Yeah.

That is not the job of the court gesture. Yeah. Period. So there is a difference. People were actually somebody yesterday was talking to me about that about,

you know, political influence through comedy and all that stuff. I'm more interested in the comedy first. Me too. Yeah. Yeah.

Whatever their motive is fine. But the comedy has to come first. I remember when I interviewed Hillary Clinton and I could tell she didn't want to be there. And I totally get that. I get it.

But before we had set that whole thing up, they, they wrote back, well, you can't bring up those emails. And I go, well, we don't have to do the interview. I totally, that's fine. We won't do it.

When you tell powerful people no, it's crazy.

They were like, okay, well, you can ask because it's not that important to me. Yeah. To do it. The way they want to do it.

“You have to, if you're going to come in the comedy, you got to wait.”

We want to do it. Also, I see this all the time. And I've seen it for years and years and years and years. People not understanding that if they go to the supposedly vulnerable place and have a sense of humor about it, it is magical for them.

People see they have a sense of humor. They see that they can take a joke. I mean, no one walked away from your interview with a bomb and thought, wow, you really showed him. He got to be hilarious. He sat there and entered your world of, you know, being intentionally ignorant about who he is.

What he does, cutting him off, being insanely rude and gave it back to you an equal measure. And you looked at, you know, this is a great piece of comedy. And I know it reflects well back on the president and our current president would do well to understand that, you know, if he let himself be the butt of the joke. It's impulsive.

It's humanizing. I know it isn't. You wouldn't do it with him. It wouldn't work. It wouldn't work.

I'm just saying in an alternate universe, if we're talking about a different human being, they would see that there's this misconception that, oh, the media just wants to go after conservatives. And they don't understand that everyone benefits when they laugh at themselves. That's right. Period.

Yes. Yes. If you laugh at yourself, it humanizes you and like ferrimones are released and humans think that's a good human. Who, and, and when you refuse to let that happen, that's not projecting strength that's projecting weakness. I agree.

100%. There's also the math of comedy to me sometimes where the punching down that the right seems to do something. I don't want to get political here, but the, that's not as funny to me as taking on the powerful. Like the math of it does it work for me. Like to take on some of these marginalized people make fun of that.

Listen, I'm all for him. I can defend it, but that mathematically.

“So that's why you don't see a lot of comedy that comes out of like the right.”

I mean, the right. You just, it's hard to do. I don't, I'm not saying suggest that you cannot. It's just difficult to do because of the dynamics. Yeah.

Greg got filled. I don't know how they'll show up to work again.

I always love imagining these people being completely unhinged by a comment on a podcast or, you know, someone did a sketch about them on the SNL and they're just completely unhinged.

I'm sure. They can no longer. That's all for clicks. Yeah. You know what I mean?

It's its fake. Well, that's boring. Yeah. The whole, everyone commenting on every comment. Yeah.

And everyone has to, um, weighted Sabrina Carpenter just slightly miss speak at a performance at Coachella or. Can we make that into something? Yes, we can. And then she'll apologize and I think she's a fantastic performer. She makes a lot of people happy.

I actually don't think she did anything wrong. She couldn't hear what the person the audience was saying. There was no harm, no foul here, but people got a 24 hour news cycle out of it. And it's just, I mean, it's super strange. You know, the other thought of that, too, is it's interesting.

People from the right or whatever you want to say.

“They're always like, you should have been retainers.”

You're just entertainers. And I kind of get that because I'm from a South and you know.

But I always think, yeah, but you guys say that to us entertainers.

Yeah. Clint Eastwood, Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Fred Thompson, Go for from the love boat. I mean, I could go, it's named Fred Grandy. I could go on and on.

Sunny, Sunny Bono. I mean, it, it, it goes on and on. Yeah.

So it's always interesting to me that they point that out.

But they, they fall, they're, they're the ones that hire or elect the entertainers. Yeah. Yeah.

“I think even more so than the other side.”

So I don't know what. It's very, very odd all of it. But it was a good run. Oh, no. Oh.

We're wrapping it up. We're calling it. We're calling it. Well, 250 is a good time to call it. Oh, man.

Oh, yes. 250. I don't feel any, is anybody celebrating? I think they're going to, well, there's plans to build giant monuments. I think the triumphal arch was going to be for the 250 if I think.

Okay, good.

We just got to get that thing built.

This is going to sound controversial. And I don't want to, when you trumped it that Jesus thing, I, I was the turning point for me. I was like, I kind of like him. Oh, like him.

Yeah. Oh, you, you, you, okay. What do you think? Am I off? No, I think you're off at Jesus.

He was a doctor. He, yeah, his excuse was I'm those. I was a doctor who wears a robe and a red sandwich. And that's okay. Hold on.

He's a red croaker. Oh, man. He's a very good nightclub comic. You know what I, I was watching your gardening show. And I want to mention this because it's called, this is a gardening show.

And one of them. Yeah, he was up all night thinking of that. And actually, we spent about 400 titles back and forth. Oh, really? Between two farms.

I mean, it was like, you know, all these play on words. It was so, been, then the producer emails me and goes, the first thing you say is this is a gardening show. Yeah. Why don't we just call that and say, okay.

“But yeah, that's how we got to the time.”

Well, you know, I, I love because I've known for years that you hang out on Vancouver Island. And then to get to see you in your habitat is very cool. I mean, first of all, it's beautiful. Mm-hmm.

But getting to see you, I knew that you were a very sort of an outdoorsy guy. I didn't know specifically how important gardening was to you. The show is really funny. And you get to be you, obviously, because you are you. And there's no fixing that now.

But the, but just getting to see you in that world. In that world, I totally got it. I, you, you like to get up in the morning and tend to plants. I love it.

I, it's strange how much, I mean, I've been always been a hobby.

It was been my hobby, I guess, for 20 plus years. But now that I have some, some space, I've been building a garden. And I just do, I mean, I have a hundred little pumpkin seedlings in my greenhouse right now that when I get back to Canada, I'm going to put it in the ground and that'll probably produce 200 pumpkins for the year.

I, that kind of stuff, it's, I can't tell you how much I love it. It's, it's a feeling that I feel like as humans, it's part of us, but we got away from it. Yeah. We, we, we just, because because technology inconvenience has overtaken everything.

We're pushing buttons. It's soulless. Yeah. There's nothing there for me. And I, I wanted to do this show for several reasons.

One, you know, when you watch documentaries about where we are climate wise, you hear, there's 64 harvest left. Okay, maybe that's not true, but what if it is? Right. What, you know, this is, these are, these are, these are scientists that are saying this.

64 harvest left.

“So people, I see some people acting like, oh my God, what are we going to do?”

What are we going to do? And then I see some people don't care. So I don't know. I'm just going to go with what my gut feeling is, which is maybe kids need to know this stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

White till the Russians shoot down the saddle at some other fucker. It's just a quote from the South, I heard recently. That I was like, yeah, I believe you. I actually believe that. That would, I believe you.

And think about that. Yeah. Right. So all of the, I feel like the safety might not be there for the next generation. So I'm, and this is not an altruistic thing.

I'm trying to say it's just a practical thing. Uh, our food, even if nothing happens, even let's say everything stays normal. Well, our food and where we get it and, and how what we know about it is, um, we don't have a relationship with food a lot of us. Right.

Right. Think about it. Birth, death, food and words coming from. We're primal parts of our existence for so long. I mean, they're just printed into our DNA as we evolve.

And I'm going to be completely honest with you.

Like, I know nothing about gardening. I know nothing about where my food comes from. I say to David, I want to get the, and you were like, all right. And you get it. It comes and I shove it into my face really quickly with great hate.

And, um, but it's the same thing about death. Like, we're not, we're not people used to live and die in their home, and people used to be there for it, and now everything's kind of farmed out. So yeah, it's, but it's a medicine too. It's not just, it's just not, it's not altruistic.

You do it for yourself. Yes. Absolutely. I mean, look, I'm a little chubby guy, but I love eating fresh vegetables and fruits out of the garden. It's like, it's, it's a, it's a high for me, just is.

So there's, there's many elements to it, but I'm saying it's a medicine to be in the garden. Yeah. It's healthy to be.

It's also, when you talk about, you've spoken about this for a while and you mentioned it today,

“the kind of allergic reaction you have to the bullshittery of show business.”

Well, and, and in, in some of it, um, there's obviously great parts of it, and then there's parts of it, which can actually feel like a toxin. It's poison and honey. Yeah. I, I felt this, I got a chance, um, Danny Harrison, George's son invited me to come see.

George's home, Fryer Park, and I went, and so much of it are George Harrison's, where his gardens, where he grew things. And I've seen footage of him in various documentaries, just tending to his gardens and tending to his sunflowers and tending to the things he was growing. And I thought, oh, and, you know, he,

Danny said, yeah, he told him once, you know, Danny said, oh, let's go into town. Let's leave Fryer Park and go into town, and his father said, why would we do that? Why would we go out there? It's insane out there. If you look at all the footage of his life in the 60s and 70s,

it was screaming and madness, this was the antidote. Interesting.

And I think you have experienced being in the nose cone of the rocket.

And there are people who are making a living pretending to be you hanging outside a planet. Hollywood. That, you know, that's, and like, we got to get us this, that guy with an necklace for the party. I got one. I got one too.

Well, bring them both, you know. So you're, the, it's such a nice antidote to find those places where you can grow apples. Well, I, I also think it's possible in the cities. I mean, when you guys all leave today, I want you to pay attention to how much concrete is around you versus greenery.

Just, just think about it. Yeah. It's as, it's crazy. It's really crazy.

“I mean, I think humans biggest mistake was fighting nature instead of working.”

We could have conquered it. Well, no, you're not. No, you're not. It's going to win. Yeah.

And it looks like it's definitely going to win. Yeah. So you have to respect it and honor it. If there's a God that made all this stuff. Why would why not respect it?

And the other, the things that this God has made. That's coming from someone that has no idea if there's a God or not. But if there is, why is it the simplest thing to respect the earth and the humans and the animals on it? Other than that, what is there? Yeah.

I mean, this, where humans are going with AI? I mean, I guess, I don't know if I'm old fashioned or I'm, maybe it's because I'm 56 now, but I think this whole AI thing and I don't mean for medicine. I don't, you've got a lot of great things. Otherwise, though, I think it's another, like, biblical, in the biblical term of biting the apple again.

I just am very afraid of it. Yeah. The dudes that are designing it. Yeah. There's a real problem.

Yeah. Because these dudes, how do I say it? They have math minds. Fuck. They have math minds.

You know what I mean? They have math minds. But there's very little wisdom coming out of that pocket of the world. Almost none. Yeah.

And we're just running, all of us are running in that direction. The media, the media loves AI. The media loves social media because it causes more to this. Yeah. I love when CNN, they'll have a reporter on good.

They'll do a report on social media and how bad it is for someone. And then after the report, Jake Tapper gets on go, follow me on Twitter. He's assa nine, have you know self-reflection? Well, even how we communicate through text, there's not a sarcastic font. Right.

And people are not good enough writers to do it. Right. As a comedian to get back, LOL is really diminishing returns. Yeah.

“So I think the way we have let robots do this for us has also made us a little bit off.”

Yeah. I just do. I worry about the lack of human connection with that stuff.

I don't know. I mean, I really don't know.

But this world, this tech stuff, has always, I've always thought about it.

I've always worried about it. Especially when social media came about in my space and on this. When it was done, you could do it anonymously. That's how weird start for anything. So the weirdos running this thing and good weirdos.

I don't mean they're all bad weirdos. We need to, something, there needs to be a guardrail. And I think politically nothing changes in the states. And until they regulate they don't have. Yeah.

I do think not. So we can sit here and talk. Good luck. It could work for both sides. Right.

It just depends on who's going to control it. The messaging. But I see how people scroll and planes.

“I'm like, that's how people get their new.”

When we're screwed. Yeah. I do think that if you look at the history of huge technological advances, including like the printing press, you know, and how that revolutionized things. In the early days, it's rough going.

Mm-hmm. When people are handed a brand new superpower.

And we are at the beginning of this.

And I do think if we survive it, there will be guardrails. Yeah. There will be people that say, oh no, you can't have a kid can't have a tablet. We've figured it out. They can't have it till they're 14.

Mm-hmm. And that's a law. You know, or you can't. It's like a, how a city like a city can be built. And there's like crap in the streets.

The sewage is all wrong. And as it ages, they fix the problem. No. Where is the OK caral phase? Yeah.

Drunks are punching each other through the swinging doors of the bar. And landing in the mud. People are shooting their guns in the air. Going knee-ha. That's where we are.

But you think it's going to need a regulation to get to there. Do you think the government? Yeah. Yeah. I think it's going to do.

But you know what it does? It comes through just this hard experience. And humans do, if they put their hand on the stove enough times, they learn not. We need a rule about putting our hands on the stove. I hope you're right.

There's an addiction. There's an addiction thing here too that we have it. That's the other thing is the addiction part. Yeah. And that addiction is designed.

“Listen, you read the-- have you read the Facebook whistleblower book?”

No. No. You need her. It's unreal. I read it twice.

It's fascinating. So they know that they're making an addictive. So that's the problem. Yeah. I think maybe with the comparing it to the old technology.

Right. Sure. You're right. I think the printing press, of course, it changes the world. Technology is what changes humans the most.

Mm-hmm.

Political correctness, for example, has always been in comedy for the last 30 years.

It just has. The difference is the technology. The audience talks back now. Mm-hmm. And comedians, you've got to be okay with it.

That's the only thing that's changed. Yeah. Not political correctness. That did not, for sure. It happened many, many years ago.

But what really changed is if someone comes and sees you live, and they don't like it. And you've said something. They're going to either videotape it or get it. So it's weird.

Yeah. It's all very strange. Yeah. But then I see people on their computers all the time. They never do anything else.

My mind goes when the end of the world comes. They're the veal. [laughter] Well, you know what? It's soft.

It's soft for me. It's a soft meat. So we might need them. No. We're going to eat.

We're going to eat. We're going to eat. We're going to eat. The way you describe it, we're going to eat very well. I mean, I want this to happen sooner rather than later.

Just you and I. But also we're humans, we're animals, right? Like we need to move and think and talk and blah, blah, blah. This is, it's too much. Yeah.

It's making people nuts. It just this.

“Well, I think it's making people mentally.”

I do. I think it's making people mentally. Oh, hi. I do. I do things now where I like brick my phone.

Well, the rest of the is a device called the brick, where you can turn off a bunch of apps so that in order to go. Turn them back on. It's called the brick, but you. And I use that all the time now.

Do you have a mail on your phone? I do. Take it off. It's too late. No.

No, you can take it off. No. I can't imagine it's on the mail already. It's on the mail already. It's so like that's acid, I know me.

What about? And you're killing text, too. No text. If I knew how to get red and text, I would. I don't know how to get red of it.

Um, we're in a time of over communication, right? So my brother, he says, I want to podcast. My brother looks exactly. But my brother's like texting me over Christmas. Go through paper tells you, I don't need you to text me.

That's you got them. I don't need that update. It's insanity. You know, I've nested two is that someone will text you like, how's it going?

And if you don't text them, it's the person who maybe 20 minutes went by

You alive?

You're like, I was, it was three in the morning.

What's going on? Because they're so used to getting an immediate dopamine hit that they forget they're talking to someone who isn't walking around looking at their phone all the time. I see.

“So I get a lot of my texts are, did you die or something?”

And it's like, well, no. I mean, I see teenagers on planes and the mental illness that they're doing with their faces, like changing it. And for three hours staring at a phone. You know, you're supposed to be bored.

to be bored. It's supposed to be. It's supposed to be the brain. What's actually, and really good, I remember saying this, when my kids were little, we got to keep the boring parts. Because I remember when I was, I would get so bored when I was a kid, and that's when my, you know, we weren't allowed to watch TV if there was school the next day, which meant most the week. We hadn't done on this technology, and that's when my mind started to do weird things. And that's how I make my living now.

So, you got to, I thought this was going to turn into a masturbation story.

“I think we all did. That's what it just did the neural of the room. That's, the story's not done.”

That's what I was, you cut me off. You're right. I wish somebody had. That is what I was getting to. My mind started doing weirds. Yeah. And my hand, yeah. And then I said, and that's how I make my living. And then I became a writer. Yeah. I became a professional masturbator at the circus. Yeah, is it? Yeah. What's that? Would you say it? No, no, no.

You should increase me of murder? No. No. I was going to say, is there a comp, is there, I don't,

no, never mind. I don't want it to be in them. Is there a masturbator at the moment? No,

is there, is there a masturbation competition? I bet there is. I hope so, in Wardo. I'm not looking this one up. No, he just met Eduardo. He didn't even know you had a computer. What's going on this week? We hired in the valley. Let's just say Eduardo is very skilled. It is so lovely to talk to you. And you, you really are a remarkable individual. I know wish we could all be more like you. And I really mean my text. I just read exactly what you wrote.

I read exactly when you touched it in there. And a great lover? What the fuck is this? You misspelled lover. Yeah, two V's always. I love, I've been, I checked out this is a gardening show. I really like it. I especially love when you incorporate kids in it and you're talking to them years. It's the easiest thing. I know, but you're so funny doing it. And also, you're in a series, the audacity, which is getting raves. So congrats to you. That's on AMC. And you, I mean, any time you're in town,

you want to come by and talk to more about anything tomorrow is not good for me. Okay, the next day.

“No, I missed Saturday. Starting in six years from now. Okay, that's what I meant. Did you end up going”

to Greece for your, no, we haven't gone to Greece yet. Okay, I'll show, but I do want to go there. It's the best. Would you go with me if I went? I would pay for half of it. Love to go. But I might take my gardening show there. Okay, next time. But if you do go, please call me, because that can point you in, like I've first cousins that are still there. So I can point, they can, oh, like you just check out the part of the nons. Oh, thanks a lot. No, they were going to take you

to the hard record and Athens. And I just, who there's not a hard rock cafe in Athens. You know, they're in, they're bad. I don't think, no, they're great. The Greeks are not, they're not, they're not capitalist that way. Good. They're not. Good. They actually, they're in the European

Union. They got really, really, they got really hurt. Yeah. Yeah. By Northern Europe. I've never been

to Greece in my life and I would love to go there. They know how to live. They know how to live. And so do you. That's right. And so do you. Zach Galfinakis. Thank you for being here. I treasure you. I really do. Those aren't cheap, can you put it back? You know, I'll put, there's a, so you just grab one of our, by the way, it was asking the cleanest comment box here, right? We took it down just for you. Okay. Well, we'll put it back to the minute you take it to Twitter.

Okay. Look, there's some bad blood out here. We have to take care of this. Yes. I brought up Sonah that I do a lot of favors for you. I mean, I do a lot of favors for everybody, but you, you get more than your share. Oh my God. Let's revisit this topic. Okay. Okay. Sonah, you know, I love you. I adore you. You're the best, but you're, you're just this blood sucker. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You are awful. You're awful. You're awful. You're awful. Are we

game home with you? Oh, and I would say no actually, only like half the time. Yeah, 85%.

85% of the time when you do a coolest gamer for a cool game, how's your favorite? How's your

“favorite? Because you get some benefit out of it. That's not direct. That's what I'm saying.”

We all get a lot of fun stuff from this job. All I'm going to say is he does a lot of favors you, but you do the greatest, but you, but you, but you do the greatest favor for him. You make him cool. Oh, that's the greatest favor you're doing for him. I don't know. I might do it now. You do. Yeah, I think no people will do get excited. You're a cool person and you, you know, me, yes. I guess I'm cool and then I pop a leave every now and then. I also use drink a lot of water

with it. You got to make sure you flush out the system. Oh, God. That's a recommendation that's on the

bottle. But oh, wow. No, but I mean, between my leave use and your coolness factor, I think we

make a good deal. I don't think they're favors. I think you are paying me back. What? Oh, yeah, for all the, so that means I don't have to pay you financially. No, you should still do that. But I also, I don't know for something. You know what? I don't resent these favors for you. I like doing it. And I will say, look, I needed a segment. So I came out swinging. Yes. And it worked because you got really mad and also, is there some truth in it? Probably because in most of my bits, there's a little bit

of truth. This is my nightmare. And I do a lot of favors for people. You do. We have to do a

“favor for Sonia today, for instance, at the end of the day. Oh, is that true? Yeah. What's happening today?”

We have to, I don't want to run around. No, no, we get to. That's right. We get to do something. You know that I like doing things for the Armenian community. You know I like doing that. But they're the ones you took me to Armenia in 2015. I tried to leave you then. You know, that was the plan. The plan was to leave you there. And then I was like, shut the door, shut the door. And the pilot. The door didn't shut the door fast enough. And you squirted into the plane. And you were like, what? I got it back.

But the plan was to leave you there. Well, thank you for doing that. But you shown a light on my beautiful homeland. And since then, you've been kind of an art honorary Armenian. They're very excited.

You know what? I will say our many people always very happy to see me. Yes. And they say,

but I have a nice, a inch per sec. Okay. And then they say, love them. And we have like a nice thing going. Yeah. So that's always nice. Yeah. I meet a lot of them in steam rooms. I don't know what that's all about several times I've been in a sauna or a steam room. And the naked men in there have been Armenian. And we have a nice chat about Armenia. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. That's a nice see. That's the thing. If you hadn't taken me in our Armenian, I don't think you would have been

getting as many asks. And I filter a lot. But there are some that I I'm doing one today, which is your point one today. It's because it's an important event. What is it? It's the Armenian heritage walk gallon Philadelphia. And I'm I'm seeing it and I'm I'm see a gallon. Oh, you're going to I'm going to fill it up here. Oh, I see there's a benefit. And you're going to be up there saying, all right, our next auction item with that kind of thing. No, no. It's going to be like honoring

people who helped them do it. It's this it's this permanent election by the Philadelphia Museum bar. Do you have jokes written? I'm not you. I don't know. I don't know. We know that. But I mean, what about the bars really low for me? No, you gotta have some material. You can't you can't see a gallon and not have material. That's true. What kind of jokes do they like? I haven't

“haven't written anything in. When is it soon, right? It's like a really soon. Okay, you have to”

write material. Maybe I would help you another favor. But let's you can also do something and then say you're doing me a favor. I can say yes to things and then resent them because that is my true hobby. I say yes to stuff and then I resent it. You know, we got to think of some jokes. You know, I have some. Like, what about pomegranates and what is it about? I don't want to tell you. I'm nervous. Let's hear it. I think, well, one of the honorees. No, this is. Come on. Yes,

now we know we have to now. We have one of one of the honorees is an Armenian man who's an astronaut. He's, and so I'm going to say, you know, within the last six months, we've had one of the greatest moments in space when Katy Perry went up for ten minutes. It's a good joke. It's a good joke. That's a good joke. It's a good joke. It's a good joke. That's a good joke. Because everyone's going to think I'm talking about. I mean, how a Mr. Act works. Yes, this is what comedy is Conan O'Brien. No, but you

know what? I think that's a funny joke. Okay. That's another good joke. I, A, N is added to every Armenian name, right? Yeah. So you could say, there's some other great celebrities who are Armenian, Katy Perry in, um, you know, Tom Cruzian, John Travoltean. Yeah, okay. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, this is a good Sabrina Carpenterian. I mean, you know, you could go into that whole thing. Okay. And you could list a whole bunch of celebrities' real names before they shorten them. You know what I'm saying?

there's already a lot going on with your last game. Are you jokes about some of the other,

their true famous like Dr. Kavorkian? Well, there are mixed honorees. So I'm coming up with bits for each one. I'm going to kill it at this Armenian gala, even more than your previous host, Dr. Kavorki. Oh God. Right? Oh God. Yeah. That's a good joke. He killed people. I know. I know. Yeah.

“He's the pride of the Armenian people. Don't say that. Did he drive around in a van and do it?”

I forget how he did it. You know what? Nowadays, use an Asia is not looked at as poorly as it was before.

He was a, well, his name was Dr. Death and he drove around in a van. But yeah, you're right. He was a pioneer. No, ending people's lives is all cool now. They wanted to end them. They were all weren't they all terminally ill? All right. You're taking us down to Dark Road. I'm going to kill it up here. I'm going to be Armenian host who kills it the fastest since Dr. Kavorkian. That's funny.

That's a good joke. Oh God. I mean, you say, by the way, other, you know, famous and then it's

Dr. Perry, you know what I mean? You know, the singer C. S. C. N. There's a good one. I mean, we're coming up with good material right here. You're going to kill it this thing. I know. Oh, I could come out as a character. What? Yes. I could be a character. I could come out like as an old Armenian lady and then, you know, and I do a character. Oh, I won't be offensive at all. No, I can't get rid of it. Can I be your old Armenian lady? Oh, it's nice to be here.

I know he's my dry the uppercuts and flattened them and now when he didn't, he was going to be trifer at that. It would kill. Yeah. I guess what? I'm going to fly out. I'm going to write this material and I'm going to do this on the, on the gala and then I'm really going to resent you. Those who are given much are expected to give much. Oh, God. It's clear that I've been gifted with some divine powers. And so I must spend my time on this
