WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.640 There's my friend Craig Gas. I haven't seen him in forever. Bro, 2 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.559 great to see you. It's so weird. I'm in town and I'm listening 3 00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.960 to you guys promoting the twenty year anniversary of the show. And I was 4 00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:15.400 part of the ten year anniversary and you and I took this ridiculous picture with 5 00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:20.760 the guys from Bush and I just someone held my camera phone and I said, 6 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:27.760 let's all do a new band photo. And you instantly like everyone, 7 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.280 Well, you directed us. You're like everybody look at different direction. You 8 00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.920 always do a good job of like your social media is good, and I 9 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:40.119 feel like you're very you know what you want, what you want a picture 10 00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.880 with people, and you kind of directed all of us a little bit. 11 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:49.600 Yeah. I like to post stuff without saying what it is so that it 12 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.359 doesn't Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of a situation that if you say 13 00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.079 this is what my situation as, people go, oh, what an asshole. 14 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.960 But if you don't say what it is, people can figure it out 15 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.159 and go what the fuck. Like I remember being at the few. I 16 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.519 go to the super Bowl every year and I interview the players at the super 17 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.000 Bowl every year, and I posted a live video that I streamed, and 18 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:21.319 it said local San Francisco band rehearsing a song about puppets hashtag not bad, 19 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.599 and people were commenting like, what the fuck? Like they just I didn't 20 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:32.000 say what it was. I just posted it as this vague description and people, 21 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.480 Yeah, I love doing shit like that, dude. So much as 22 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.519 happened since the last time I saw you, man, I know, well, 23 00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:40.680 wait a minute, let me hang on a second. Let me hang 24 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.560 on a second. You're in town, you're here in Houston. Yeah, 25 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.280 I'm doing shows at the Secret Group. It's a in downtown Houston. They 26 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.439 do comedy, they also do music, and they're having me do two shows 27 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:57.519 on Saturday night at the Secret Group. And and it's where can people get 28 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.000 tickets? So we get that out of the way and then we'll circle back 29 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.959 to it. You can go to my website getgas dot com, Get Gas 30 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.879 with two s's dot com, or you can go to the Secret Group HTx 31 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.759 dot com. I think it's easier to remember getgas dot com. Get Gas. 32 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:15.560 Okay, we'll send people over to your website. So tickets are still 33 00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.919 available to see you this Saturday. Right now, the first show is filling 34 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:23.360 up the second show. There's still more tickets available for the second show, 35 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.800 but yeah, first show looks like it's going to sell out quicker. All 36 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.520 right, so this is my friend Craig Gas. Okay, I gotta set 37 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:32.360 it up a little bit. Okay, now, immediately right off the bat, 38 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.199 people are going to know that your involvement with the Howard Stern Show. 39 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.879 Okay, you've been doing Howard for a long long time, but man like, 40 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.319 things really escalated in the last couple of years for you and Howard. 41 00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.080 After not being on the show for twenty years, he reached out to me 42 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.800 and said, would you be interested in doing work on the show again? 43 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.000 And he has me. I do celebrity voices on the show, and I've 44 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.120 always been able to do for anyone in your audience who doesn't know. I've 45 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.960 always been able to do any voice that I hear because of how I grew 46 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.039 up. And this is not a joke. This is a true story. 47 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:06.759 Everyone in my family is deaf. My mom, dad, and my sister 48 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.319 are all completely deaf. Uh. People always kind of get serious on me 49 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.960 when I when I say that, but well, because we're waiting for a 50 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.520 punchline or something, we're waiting because it's it's the setup of a joke that 51 00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.159 is not a joke. Yeah, it's. I mean, there's been moments 52 00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.199 that are like, you know that I did a show once opening for Metallica. 53 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.960 Yeah, I did stand up comedy as an opening act for Metallica. 54 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.120 The drummer of Metallica was the guy who got me the gig, Lars Ulrich. 55 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.240 He introduced me to his band by saying, hey, mom, this 56 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.479 is Craig. This is the guy does all the voices, and check it 57 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:42.599 out. His whole family is retarded. I go, they're not retarded. 58 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:47.360 Death the ducking my story up, Like, yeah, so there's there's funny 59 00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:53.319 moments that that have happened, but yeah, like my sister. I threw 60 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.680 a surprise birthday party from my sister a few years ago, and you can 61 00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:00.800 argue that anything for deaf people is a surprise. But with a surprised birthday 62 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.199 party for my sister. And afterwards, at dinner, my sister, who's 63 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.400 deaf, sitting across the table from me, She's signing to me and she 64 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:12.800 goes, do you want to hear a good joke? And I said sure, 65 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:20.399 and then she said me too, What the fuck? Yeah, but 66 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.560 it's uh yeah, growing up in a deaf family, couldn't learn how to 67 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.759 talk from my family, learn how to talk by watching TV and copying all 68 00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.920 the voices I heard on TV. So to this there is there one show 69 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.000 because we're kind of from the same era, is there one show that was 70 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.279 like or a couple of shows like what were the most influential shows for you? 71 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:43.759 Because we've got we got Chile on the show Who's from Guatemala and he 72 00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:49.720 learned to speak English originally from watching reruns of American television in Guatemala. So 73 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:54.480 what wasn't for you? Was there a couple of shows that you really you 74 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.439 leaned into that you feel like influency the most? It was always the voices 75 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.519 that would stand doubt that would influence my voice at the time. Howard Cosell 76 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.319 had a unique voice, The Fonds had a unique voice. Yeah, ru 77 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:11.160 Al Lee had a unique voice. So I always mimic that and then to 78 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.720 this day, like, your voice is very normal sounding, like you have 79 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:19.600 a great radio voice, but it still has an there's nothing quirky, there's 80 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:24.920 nothing to like, I feel like to latch onto like except for your rhythm. 81 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.439 I think, might I could probably figure out your rhythm. But guys 82 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:35.000 like Christopher Walking. Christopher Walking has a real stop and go kind of voice 83 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:41.759 where he'll talk. Every once in a while he'll stop and then I'll keep 84 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.920 going. You know, it's like that. It's easier to figure out that 85 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:51.560 or Adam's saying there. It's easier to find like a weird sound than it 86 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.600 is to hit a normal one like yours. You know. But let me 87 00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.680 ask you about like, Okay, so now we're talking about like dissecting a 88 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.079 specific voice. Does it take one person? And I don't know if it 89 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.560 goes back to Jmore. I don't know if anybody was really doing walkin before 90 00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:12.720 that. But I look at a guy like Jmore and it takes and tell 91 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.360 me if this is true for a voice, it takes somebody to crack the 92 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:19.360 code. Somebody has to unlock it to say, okay, we're gonna try 93 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:24.360 this. Even if you go back to I think Andy Kaufman may be down 94 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.959 in the history books as the first Elvis impersonator. I don't know if there 95 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:30.519 were. I don't know that there were Elvis impersonators. He didn't look like 96 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.439 Elvis, he didn't really necessarily sound like him, but he did it. 97 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:40.759 So it takes somebody to crack the code. So is there is there people 98 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.519 that Okay, let's talk about Christopher Walken. Is there somebody that cracked the 99 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.160 code? And then everybody is basing it off of how that was done? 100 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:53.839 I never The first person I ever heard do it and it was flawless was 101 00:06:53.920 --> 00:07:00.879 Kevin Spacey. Okay, Kevin Spacey did a Christopher walkin on SNL that was 102 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:05.480 so good the crowd exploded and what sounded like a standing ovation in the middle 103 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.639 of the impression was so spot on, which makes me embarrassed to even try 104 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:14.759 to do that impression. But I remember hearing a guy do an al Pacino 105 00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.519 impression. And I've talked about this with other comedians who do impressions. When 106 00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:24.399 someone does a half assed impression, it's almost like they're laying down the groundwork 107 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.160 for like you just put one hand here and put one foot here. It's 108 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:30.160 like, oh, and then I can finish it. When I see someone 109 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.079 do a half assed impression. So this guy saw doing an Alpacino impression, 110 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:41.360 it sounded like it sounded like Archie Bunker. It was like geezh, this 111 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:46.040 guy right here, huh And then I just realized if you head towards Archie 112 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:53.360 Bunker and just get a little bit lower, my guy, who I found 113 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:59.240 gold. It's it's there's something about laying out that groundwork that other people who 114 00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.920 do impressions can finish it. You know. Yeah, now, because okay, 115 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:05.319 we're gonna get into it, because you know, I mean, I 116 00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.680 got the shirt on and everything. This was not planned at all. This 117 00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.800 just happens to be a Wednesday shirt for me. But like al Pacino, 118 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:18.000 I call Craig like the Forest Gump of comedy. Okay, if you go 119 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.639 to Craig's Instagram, it's Craig Gas Comedy. You'll see him. Like he 120 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.399 said at the Super Bowl asking Tom Brady a question. Then he's hanging out 121 00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.480 with the Stanley Cup. Then he's at a World Series and he's just he's 122 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.960 watching the game and Bill Murray's in front of him, and Eddie Vetters to 123 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:37.879 his left and smashing pumpkins or to the right, and John Cusack is right 124 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.320 in front of him. He's in the right place at the right time. 125 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.080 I'm talking about you. You're in the right place at the right time. 126 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:48.919 It's amazing to me that you're living at one point in your life, you're 127 00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.919 living at Eddie van Halen's guesthouse, like you're Eddie van Halen's Cato Klin and 128 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.720 then you're you know, you got Mike McCready on speed dial from Pearl Jam. 129 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.559 This guy is everywhere. He's everywhere at the same time, and that's 130 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:07.080 amazing to me. So when you do something like al Pacino, have you 131 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.240 come in contact with him? I'm just assuming that you guys like eat at 132 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:15.039 Nobu together or something. No. I go was contacted by what was the 133 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:20.360 name of that. Vivendi Entertainment is a video game company and they were making 134 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.720 a Scarface video game and they contacted me about doing the voice of Scarface of 135 00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.799 al Pacino for Scarface and that we had a couple of discussions and they said, 136 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.440 you know, we're having a lot of creative meetings at this point, 137 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:37.159 but Al recommended that we go to you to do the voice. And I 138 00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.919 said, oh, that's great, And who is Al? What does Al 139 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.559 do? And he said al Pacino And I said, al Al that Al 140 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:46.519 al Pacino knows who I am. And the guy said, you know what, 141 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:48.840 I wouldn't get that excited about it. The way it came up is. 142 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:54.360 He said, here's a guy, what's his name? He's got a 143 00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:03.960 funny mole on his face. David find him. He can do the voice 144 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.960 the way it was meant to be. And that was like when I heard 145 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:09.600 that, I was like, well, that's not the story. I'm gonna 146 00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.519 tell people. I'm gonna tell people that Alpucina's my biggest fan, and like, 147 00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.519 you know, we've never met. He knows who I am, but 148 00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:20.840 we've never met in person. Almost everyone I do an impression of has tried 149 00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.240 to meet me at some point. Dude, there's a guy I do an 150 00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:30.960 impression of that, Tom Arnold. Believe it or not, It's one of 151 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.679 my favorites that you do because you seamlessly go in and out of it so 152 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:39.360 easily. And there's some that you do that are easier than others I can 153 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.759 tell, and Tom Arnold the way that you slip into it and slip out 154 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.039 of it, like your Gene Simmons and like there's some of your like Marquee 155 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.080 ones, but the Tom Arnold one is just nails. Tom Arnold is as 156 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.759 a guy who I met on the phone. I prank called him. Once 157 00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:58.960 he picked up the phone, I found out a comedian friend of mine. 158 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:01.639 This is when I was still an open micer. There was a comedian I 159 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.799 knew who worked at a hotel in Seattle, and he said, dude, 160 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:09.320 all the stars for the planet Hollywood are staying at my hotel, Arnold Schwarzenegger, 161 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:13.399 Sylvester Stallone, Tom Marnold. And I went, Tom Arnold was staying 162 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:15.440 at your hotel and he goes, yeah, he said, And at the 163 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.639 time, Tom Marnold had just killed it in true lies and nine months. 164 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.360 So I went, Tom Martold was a big, big star man, huge 165 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.399 funny dude, a great comic actor. And so I called the hotel and 166 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:30.440 I said, hey, Tom Arnold please, and they said, okay, 167 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:33.120 just one moment, and they put me through Tom Arnold taking the phone and 168 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.559 he goes hello, and I said, Tom, it's Sam Kennison. Sam 169 00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:43.600 Kennison had been dead for eight years at this point. And Tom Marland goes, 170 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.200 heybody, how you been. You fucking just started talking about I was 171 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.879 Sam. I said, I said, Tom, I need some help. 172 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.360 I need you to help me here in the afterlife, and he goes, 173 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.720 whatever you need, but he just tell me what you eat, And I 174 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:56.720 said, well, what I need is I need you to get me some 175 00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.000 cocaine. So this is kind of tricky. First of all, I need 176 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.919 need you to front me the cash, and then I want you to purchase 177 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.759 some cocaine that I want you to get on a plane and go back to 178 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.720 Los Angeles. And when you go to Los Angeles, I want you to 179 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.639 drive to Jerry Lewis's house. And when you drive his house, I want 180 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:15.679 you to take the cocaine and I want you to put it in the small 181 00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.600 pocket of his pants and I'll have it when he gets here in three weeks. 182 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.000 And then I stopped and said, Tom, I'm sorry. My name's 183 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.039 Craig Gass. I'm a stand up comedian. I'm a huge fan of hers. 184 00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.919 And he said, man, that impression is so good that I need 185 00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.759 to call my sponsor. That's how good that is. That's a good impression. 186 00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.519 And so repeating that story over and over again, I started getting the 187 00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.360 impression down, and which is how I get most of my voices down as 188 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.240 I tell stories about those people. And I just like I, if I 189 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.240 tell a story about you later on today, I will end up doing some 190 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.360 half assed impression of you in the middle of that story. I do want 191 00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.440 to point out one crazy thing when you point out my social media Dude, 192 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.960 this is a story I've been dying to tell you. At the top of 193 00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.919 my Instagram page is a story that is insane. There is a prank being 194 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:18.799 played right now on our guy, Gavin from Bush Okay that is fucking nuts. 195 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.039 The backstory is the guy playing the prank on him is a guy who 196 00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:28.799 loves my stand up comedy and was inspired by a terrible, terrible story that 197 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.679 I tell on stage that I'm not supposed to tell the story because the guy 198 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.360 who told me the story, he said, dude, don't don't tell people 199 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.720 about this. So I've just eliminated all the names from the story. But 200 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.320 it's a friend of mine who's in one of the biggest hard rock bands of 201 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:50.879 all time, and he was doing a festival tour. His band was doing 202 00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.000 a festival tour of Europe. The headliner of the tour was ACDC. The 203 00:13:56.039 --> 00:14:01.200 singer of ac DC, Brian Johnson, walks in the band's dressing room to 204 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.600 say hello. The band naked. They're getting ready to go on stage, 205 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.279 so they want to put on their cool stage clothes. Brian Johnson apparently a 206 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:13.120 really warm guy. He's standing at the entrance to the dressing room and he's 207 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.639 and he's socializing with everybody, and he's making eye contact and working the room. 208 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:20.000 And then at one point he looks over at the drummer and he starts 209 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:26.200 staring at the drummer before he finally walks over and goes, hey, man, 210 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:31.039 did you know you've got a giant penis on your fucking bach man? 211 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:35.000 So we know who this band is, now, right the drummer, big 212 00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.879 wiener. Come on, nobody knows who the drummer is. Nobody knows. 213 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.639 You know, I just heard this story for the first time. I'm telling 214 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:48.759 you who it is, dude. Disc The singer Brian Johnson says, big 215 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.840 penis on your back, and the drummer looks at him goes, what are 216 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.480 you talking about? He goes, you fucking tattoo. It's a giant paenist 217 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:01.399 and the drummer goes, it's a dragon. It's an angry dragon. He 218 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.200 goes, I know it's and dragon, but look, you've got two balls 219 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.879 on the bottom and you go to big deckhead on top. Now the whole 220 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:15.279 band is looking at the drummer going holy shit, dude, hold on, 221 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.240 hold on, wait, hold on, come here, and they're all taking 222 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.240 pictures and they're showing him like, see how if you zoom in, it 223 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.720 looks like a big penis and you got two balls on the bottom. Now 224 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.200 he's looking at the tattoo for the first time, going what the fuck, 225 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.440 when his singer looks at him and goes, dude, I'm not I'm not 226 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:31.720 trying to be an asshole. Okay, I'm just I'm really looking at your 227 00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:35.799 tattoo for the first time, and i gotta be honest. It does not 228 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:41.720 look like your dragon is breathing fire. It's it looks like it's shooting all 229 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.559 over your back. Ah. Now he's he thinks they're fucking with him, 230 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.440 and he goes, shut up, come on, it's time to go on 231 00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.320 stage. Let's go rock. I'm gonna put my shirt on. Let me 232 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.639 just and then. But he knows what he saw. So he's on stage 233 00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.039 in front of sixty thousand people just freaking out about what happened. The next 234 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.279 day, he cooked and when he calls the tattoo, he goes, hey, 235 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.039 we got a lot of complaints about that guy, all right. Apparently 236 00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:07.879 he was putting dicks on everybody and and we actually sat him down. We 237 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:12.120 sat him down and said, hey, be honest, be honest, are 238 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.000 you putting penises on people? What are you doing? And he said, 239 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.879 can I make a phone call? And we said go ahead, and he 240 00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:22.759 fled. He just this is my favorite line of the story. This fucking 241 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:26.399 guy looked at trail, at dicks everywhere. But listen, next time you 242 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.080 come back in no dummage. So he's got to go back to his band. 243 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:33.360 The next day, walks in the band is like asking him questions, 244 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.159 dude, how did you end up with that tattoo? And he goes, 245 00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.360 dude, I don't know. He was my boy. That guy was my 246 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.840 friend. Like he did a couple of my tattoos. But we used to 247 00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.639 party together and someone who was paying attention said, a couple of your tattoos 248 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:49.759 and he goes, yeah, I thought he just did the dragon. And 249 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:53.360 he goes, no, he did my dragon, but he also did Jesus 250 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:57.879 on my leg. He did, and the whole room just froze and he 251 00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:03.960 goes, so, without getting too graphic, I'll just say it turns out 252 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:11.839 he had a tattoo of Jesus and Jesus was very happy. Come on, 253 00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:15.000 so and By the way, if you come out to the secret group this 254 00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.880 weekend, I'll tell you who the band is and I'll give you a more 255 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.079 uncensored version of the store if you come out to this right because that you 256 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.039 sucked me in on that, I'm thinking, okay band, huge rock band. 257 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.000 I'm like big Wiener drummer. I'm like, Okay, it's Motley Crue, 258 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.079 it's Tommy Lee. But Tommy Lee does not have a dragon tattoo. 259 00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:37.960 No. So that's the story that inspired a man who makes guitars for all 260 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:45.279 these famous artists. That guy uh makes guitars for Adam Levine. And I 261 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.440 get a call from him saying, dude, the most fucked up thing just 262 00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:55.240 happened. I Adam Levine had some specs for a new guitar. He wanted 263 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.680 me to make it for him. Make the guitar, and I have fun 264 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.240 with the guitar and I send it over and I don't hear from them. 265 00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:04.960 Two months goes by, I don't hear from them, and I call the 266 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:07.759 guitar tech and I go, hey, man, you get that guitar. 267 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.519 And the guy said, oh yeah, dude, Adam loves it. It's 268 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.640 his favorite guitar. He plays it every night on stage, and I went, 269 00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:18.759 did you look at the guitar? And he goes, it's got the 270 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.880 flowers and he goes, dude, I feel really bad. Those are not 271 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.440 flowers. But you know that comedian Craig Gas that has that story, Like, 272 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.720 I just dude, it's on my Instagram. It's Dick, I do. 273 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:38.880 The guitar is covered in Dick's. There are dicks all over. So 274 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:44.240 here's the guitar. Okay, I'm looking at it. Okay, he's playing 275 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.599 the guitar. Then the next thing over is I have a picture of what 276 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.440 the guitar looks like from the guitar tech or not. That's the back of 277 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:56.240 the guitar and it's pink with some flowers on it. Now you start zooming 278 00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:03.359 in and you realize, Dick, there's it's supposed to be sunflowers. The 279 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:11.279 sunflowers are hairy balls, and it's just dicks. It's covered in Dick's at 280 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:15.400 Craig Gas Comedy. On my Instagram at Craig Gas Comedy with two s's. 281 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.799 That's awesome, Oh dude, it's it's covered in Dick's. I love that 282 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.160 we can have a conversation like this where I don't have to worry about censoring 283 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:27.880 myself, so I could just try a story like that, and uh yeah, 284 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.319 dude, that's that's what these kind of interviews are. That's awesome. 285 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.119 I'm looking at it right now on your Instagram. You know, they would 286 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.680 cover or the comic guys would do this. Apparently there's some hidden dicks in 287 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:44.519 some of those old VHS covers of some Disney movies. Yes, Lion King, 288 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.160 there's a dick and Lion King apparently. I mean, if you look 289 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:48.359 for this stuff, you could find it. I had a buddy that used 290 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.480 to carve leather and he used to make belts. He was doing it out 291 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.400 in la He would make these beautiful belts and he made like a bunch of 292 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.880 guitar straps for monkey from corn and stuff. And he would always put you 293 00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:02.839 know, because when you start getting all these crazy designs, he would put 294 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:03.960 dix in there. I'm like, can I have a belt, but no 295 00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:08.240 dicks please? And then so I made him promise that there'd be no dicks 296 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.119 on the belt. And then when you look at it, it's like there's 297 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.559 a couple of titties in there, I'm like, Okay, you didn't say 298 00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.440 no titties. So I got titties on my belt, but no, but 299 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.839 no dicks at least. Craig Gas is the man right here. He's in 300 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.400 Houston. The Secret Group. You go to Craig Gas's website and that's where 301 00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:27.640 you're going to get tickets to go see him this Saturday. He's got two 302 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:33.119 shows coming up with the Secret Group. I saw Jane Simmons, you put 303 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:37.160 a clip up speaking of your Instagram. Jeene was on with Steve Oh. 304 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.400 Steve O does a pretty good podcast these days, and it's a really good 305 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.559 one, really good. He's really good interviewer, and he's got Gene Simmons 306 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.559 on. Your name comes up, obviously and Jeane says, you know, 307 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.640 I tolerate the prick. That's a pretty that's a pretty great compliment. I 308 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:59.200 know you're friendly with those guys now is Paul Jean seems to be cool with 309 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.519 you and you're impression of him because you were at the Gene Simmons roast. 310 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.119 The Paul one is a little brutal, which it's funny though, it's like 311 00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:10.960 when we go back, like you, I believe cracked the code on that 312 00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.440 for sure. There's nobody doing a Paul Stanley. There might be a few 313 00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.480 people doing a Gene Simmons, none like yours, but you absolutely are ground 314 00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:27.200 zero for Paul is cool with it. No, we did. It's not 315 00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:33.319 flattering. We did a charity event in Detroit last December and he he had 316 00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:37.960 me do my impression for this charity event. He goes, do Gene, 317 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.160 and I go, oh, this is Gene Simmons, and he goes, 318 00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:41.960 all right, now do me And I go, hey, everybody, this 319 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.720 is Paul Stanley and he goes, you make me sound like I own a 320 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.359 hair salon on Long Island, you know, like whoa, And even that's 321 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:52.359 a great premise. Come on in, I'll give you a blowout, sit 322 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:56.440 out, Welcome to Paul Stanley's hair salon. Like that was such a great 323 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.640 premise that he handed me. But yeah, I think there are two. 324 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:06.680 There's off stage Paul Stanley, who's really soft and answered a question once by 325 00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.920 saying, you know a lot of bands are envious of Kiss. I'm even 326 00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:12.400 envious of Kiss, and I was like, god, damn, that is 327 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:15.680 some confidence I wish I had. And then there's on stage Paul Stanley, 328 00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:21.119 where I actually heard him say in Las Vegas, all right, people now 329 00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:26.599 live in you know, I know this town, Las Vegas is known for 330 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.559 US buffets, and I could tell you right now after this show, I 331 00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.599 see a lot of people in the front row that I really want to eat. 332 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:37.599 And then he started fixing his hair, and what the fuck? Same 333 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.599 tour four weeks later, New York City, and I bring a bunch of 334 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:47.519 comedians with me, Jeff Ross, Jim Norton, and Steve Burne. We 335 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:51.480 all go backstage to the show at Madison Square Garden and I'm introducing them to 336 00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:53.319 all the people that work for Kiss and anybody who works for Kiss, I 337 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.319 go, hey, were you listening in Las Vegas? When Paul said he 338 00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:00.599 was going to eat the front row? Three different guys worked for Kiss, 339 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:06.920 said jere what he said in Omaha? No ask about Omar, And apparently 340 00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.279 on stage in Omaha, Paul Stanley went in the middle of a stage rap 341 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.559 said all right, people, now listen, I know this town, oh 342 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:19.640 Maha, Nebraska is knowing for us angus beef, and I can tell you 343 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:22.720 right now, after this show, I'm gonna want to sink my teeth into 344 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:29.960 some meat. And the whole crowd went what And apparently Paul grabbed the microphone 345 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:32.680 and I went, now, wait a minute, hold on, hold on, 346 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.039 you know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a thigh or rump 347 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:42.920 roast. And the crowd went, what And you're not helping yourself exactly. 348 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.079 The guitar text me having stage were going, the fuck's going on up there? 349 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:52.200 Like yeah. So there is a wonderful relationship that started when Gene Simmons 350 00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:57.400 confronted me about my impression of him on the Howard Stern Show. The next 351 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:00.519 day, I got a phone call from their management company, which is McGee 352 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:03.759 Entertainment, and they said, hey, we just wanted to call you. 353 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:08.799 We represent Kiss and we wanted to let you know that our singer Paul Stanley 354 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.160 is your biggest fan. And I said, get the fuck out, and 355 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.160 they said, no, he loves you. In fact, don't don't tell 356 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:21.279 anybody this, but Paul Stanley loves when anybody makes fun of Geene sement. 357 00:24:21.400 --> 00:24:23.000 I said, are you serious and I said, yeah, he's actually going 358 00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:26.599 to call you today. He called me that day and offered me a gig 359 00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:33.079 to perform with Kiss on an event called the Kiss Cruise, which when he 360 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.079 asked me to do the gig. I was like, yeah, do you 361 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:37.920 want me to do stand up? You want me to introduce the band? 362 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:40.440 And he said, well, let me ask you a question. How many 363 00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:45.680 jokes do you have about Gene? And I said literally hours? And he 364 00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:49.279 went you got the gig? And I ended up on a boat with Kiss 365 00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:53.319 Rod. Do you know that the kiss fans are actually mad at me because 366 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:56.519 of what I did on the boat? Do you know that story is this 367 00:24:56.680 --> 00:25:02.319 way? Wait? Wait if it involves you make an announcement mm hmm into 368 00:25:02.480 --> 00:25:06.640 everybody's cabin, tell it it's funny. I've sam the ship. I meet 369 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.759 this girl who's the cruise director. She goes, wait a minute, are 370 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.880 you Craig. You're the comedian you got You're the one that does all the 371 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.720 voices with the family guy and the Do you want to do a funny announcement 372 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.559 on the ship tomorrow morning? And I went, oh, fuck yeah. 373 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:22.559 Let me ask you a question. If I make an announcement on the ship, 374 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:23.559 who's going to hear it? And she said, if you want, 375 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:26.359 we can flip a switch and it'll get piped into every cabin. And I 376 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.559 said, flip that switch. I know exactly what I want everyone to wake 377 00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:36.720 up to tomorrow morning. The next morning, three thousand of the biggest Kiss 378 00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:41.960 fans in the world woke up to bing bong. Hey everybody, this is 379 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:48.799 Paul Stanley and this is Gene Simmons from Kiss and we have a very important 380 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:52.680 announcement. Do not panic. We have a very important announcement about the Kiss 381 00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.440 Cruise. At that moment, my friends on this ship said that all the 382 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.359 fans had stopped and we're looking at the speakers and smiling until the next words 383 00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:07.079 that came out of my mouth, We've just hit an iceberg. Which keep 384 00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:08.359 in mind when I say we just hit an iceberg, we're in the middle 385 00:26:08.400 --> 00:26:12.039 of the fucking Bahamas. There's no reason for you, as an intelligent person 386 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.720 to go this ship going down this ship. We're in the Bahamas. But 387 00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:21.640 do not panic because Kiss is going to take care of everybody. We actually 388 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:26.480 have three packages to get you off the ship. First, we have the 389 00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:32.319 Platinum package Jean's gonna charge, so Jean's going to try to monetize getting people 390 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:37.440 off the ship to save your life. You can actually spend money on them 391 00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.960 on tears and it was so ridiculous. There was like a diamond package where 392 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.960 we throw you in the ocean, and then Kiss flots by on a raft 393 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:51.480 we do a private acoustic show. Everything was just but not so ridiculous that 394 00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:53.359 a couple of Kiss fans didn't stop the employees and go, so, Kiss 395 00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.039 is going to charge us to get off the boat. They actually believed that 396 00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:03.240 Kiss was actually capable of charging people to get off of a sinking ship. 397 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.079 It's like Kiss War the worlds you had going on like you filled everyone absolutely 398 00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.200 was. I'm putting out two comedy specials later this year. The first one 399 00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:17.160 no bullshit, It's just me making fun of Kiss for an hour. That's 400 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:19.000 the whole show. And then at the end of the year, I'm putting 401 00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:25.319 out a more traditional comedy special talking about my mom and some good stories there. 402 00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.480 So where what kind of platform? Because geez, I mean, stuff 403 00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:32.359 is everywhere now, and it's just you know, you got to go searching 404 00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:34.519 for these things. There's so many different apps and platforms and everything. Where 405 00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:37.519 will these things? I mean, are you are you shopping these things right 406 00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.559 now? Or do you know where they're going to land. There's a couple 407 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:44.480 of production companies that want to help me shop it. I already have an 408 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:51.839 offer from Mark Cuban's access channel for the camp and we're still editing and then 409 00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:53.240 we're gonna take it out and shop it and try to get it in the 410 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.000 best place. And you're right, it's like there's so many places to find. 411 00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:57.839 I mean, you know, I have friends who just put stuff on 412 00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:03.799 YouTube and just have their other friends just announce, hey, my buddies comedy 413 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.359 specials on YouTube and they'll get like a million views within a couple of weeks, 414 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:11.720 you know. So yeah, it's a wild West out there for you 415 00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.759 guys. It's a good time though, too, right. I mean with 416 00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:18.640 all those different avenues, you know, I mean for the hustlers out there, 417 00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:21.200 you know, people up and coming. Jeez, it's never been better, 418 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:25.000 dude. I just did my first arena tour last year with Russell Peters. 419 00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:30.519 We did an arena tour across Australia and New Zealand, and comedy has 420 00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:36.640 never been bigger. It's insane. There are more comedians, just one loan 421 00:28:36.720 --> 00:28:41.079 comedian who can fill an arena more than there are a single music act than 422 00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:45.440 can fill an arena. There's more comedians right now. There's dozens of comedians 423 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.960 that can sell out an arena and any music act needs multiple support groups to 424 00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.880 be able to do it. It's like, yeah, we're gonna go see 425 00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.240 this band, but it's this band with this band. But you know it's 426 00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:00.160 interesting, and you know this because you came up in this era. Are 427 00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:03.920 not in that era where they're just passing out sitcoms anymore. To comedians, 428 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.119 that was the way for about ten almost fifteen years. You know, go 429 00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.240 back to Seinfeld and then all the different shows. Every everybody was a stand 430 00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.319 up comedian where it's getting a TV show. They don't need that anymore. 431 00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:17.160 Okay, they don't need it anymore because all you got to do is go 432 00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:18.559 out and self promote. Now it's still hard. You gotta hustle. You 433 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.079 still got to work, but you know, the grassroots of what you guys 434 00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:26.400 can do now. I guess it's the same with musicians too. I mean, 435 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.680 so many kids that I talked to, even in these young bands, 436 00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:33.160 they're not trying. Like when you and I were young, you know, 437 00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:34.640 you were thinking that they got to get a contract, and you got to 438 00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.559 you know, you gotta get signed by a label. And most of these 439 00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.079 bands they don't care about that. They're like, no, we'll do it 440 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:42.440 on our own. We want all the money. We don't want to owe 441 00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:47.119 anybody money and sign with someone. These are our songs, we believe in 442 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:48.839 them, and we're gonna make it on our own. Say. Probably the 443 00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:52.960 same thing with Canadian comedians, Yes, same thing with stand up comedy, 444 00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.279 where there were gatekeepers that would allow you into networks to have deals, and 445 00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:00.240 Dane Cook was the first one to break that mold. He just put his 446 00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:06.240 own thing together on the social media and just started building this new business model 447 00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:11.279 that other comedians have taken and just ran with. And now comedians make way 448 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.240 more money, way more money than any sitcom star ever did. It's it's 449 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:18.880 bananas. I mean, look at Saturday Night Live, and I'm sure there's 450 00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:22.000 gonna be a lot of people watching this. They're gonna say, Okay, 451 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:23.720 well, Nate Bargatz, I don't know if I'm saying it right. Okay, 452 00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:27.039 he's huge. That guy could walk down the street and not one person 453 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:32.279 mentioned him. He hosted Saturday Night Live, which is still a big deal, 454 00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:36.279 which is still the Wheaties Box, which is still a marquee event in 455 00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:41.599 any actor comedian's life and musicians still to this day. Some of these unknown 456 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:47.440 guys that they're known, because like you said, they're playing these big, 457 00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:51.960 huge arena shows now and now they're working their way up. Shane Gillis you 458 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:55.319 know, oh, I mean there's a lot of people that didn't know who 459 00:30:55.400 --> 00:30:59.400 these people were when they hosted SNL. It's crazy how many people are able 460 00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.079 to sell out a big room that still a lot of people don't know about. 461 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.799 And it's and that's exactly it. It's it's crazy, but it's also 462 00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:11.759 it's exciting. And uh yeah, Saturday Night Live is still the goal, 463 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.400 you know. I uh, I used to write that is that? Is 464 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.279 that your wheaties box? Still? I mean? Is that it SNL? 465 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.839 I wrote for a Weekend Update for a couple of years when Colin Quinn was 466 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:26.759 still doing Weekend Update ninety eight till two thousand and Yeah, I think that's 467 00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:30.920 still That's still a thing. But I also got great stories out of just 468 00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:33.200 being around it. You know. That's where all my Tracy Morgan stories were 469 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.039 from. And there's one Tracy Morgan story I tried to tell on your show 470 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:41.240 once that you dumped and you had to because it was too bad, And 471 00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:45.599 can I just retell that story for you? It's a show you probably wanted 472 00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.839 to make a butt baby with somebody and it probably went too far. If 473 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:53.279 I know you there, because Tracy Morgan, you portray him as the horniest 474 00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.039 guy in the planet. It's so funny, dude, And it's because of 475 00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.680 all my run ins with him. Like the story was, this agent runs 476 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:01.960 up to me. I'm getting ready to go on stage. I'm gonna open 477 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:06.119 for Dave Chappelle at Caroline's and this agent runs up and goes, hey, 478 00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.039 you you're about that party last weekn And I go, did I hear about 479 00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:09.720 what? And he goes, You're about the fucking party last week? And 480 00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:14.400 I go, no, what party? He goes, Tracy Morgan had a 481 00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.079 party turned into a fucking orgin, And I go what. He goes, 482 00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:22.000 We're standing around their suits on and there's naked people. Just I remember looking 483 00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:27.440 at him going fu fucking like like that. He goes, no, no, 484 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.880 like and then Tracy Morgan comes around, takes off all those clothes and 485 00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.960 he jumps in and I go, what when was this? And he said 486 00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:37.319 last Saturday night. Right at that moment, Tracy Morgan walks around the corner. 487 00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:38.599 I haven't seen Tracy in probably a year. At this point, it 488 00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:44.720 looked over and I went, Tracy, I heard your party was fucked up. 489 00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:47.680 Man. Tracy Morgan just looks at me and just eyeballs me before he 490 00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:54.079 finally says it was crazy. It was crazy, crag. You know what's 491 00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:58.079 crazy about it? When you get off on my floor, you don't even 492 00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:01.079 need nothing. You don't hear nothing at all, and you start walking towards 493 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:06.039 my apartment, but you still don't hear nothing. Then you knock on my 494 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:08.440 door, but you still don't hear nothing. Right, And when I opened 495 00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:13.480 the door, there's buttoles and toes everywhere, and I went, what the 496 00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:16.000 fuck? And just because I've never heard that phrase before, I said, 497 00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:22.920 did you just say buttoles and toes? And Tracy Morgan said yeah, before 498 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:27.480 he added thumb and m toes. We're in the buttholes and he walked out 499 00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:29.960 of the room. I try to tell that story on your show, and 500 00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:30.720 you were like, are you fucking crazy? And I was like, all 501 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.279 right, sorry, I thought I could. I thought I could censor that. 502 00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:37.880 I thought I could censor that. But yeah, listen, tell me 503 00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.200 just give me a click update on what you're doing with Stern right now. 504 00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:44.119 How often are you on is it a regular thing. Does that guy work 505 00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.319 during the summer. I don't know anything about his schedule. I want it, 506 00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:50.519 but I don't have I don't know how he gets it done. He's 507 00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.559 in the middle of a ten week vacation right now, and he has me 508 00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:58.079 on every other month where I sit in for a week and his weeks, 509 00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:00.480 by the way, or Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, that's a week for 510 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:05.279 Howard And my last time that I was on with him though, he brought 511 00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:09.159 me in to talk as myself for a little while and we actually it was 512 00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:14.320 just like old times. It felt great, And so I've been doing pre 513 00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:19.159 interviews with his team to come on as a guest. So it seems to 514 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.280 be pointing in the direction that I'm gonna continue to celebrity voices on the show, 515 00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:25.079 but also do stuff as myself on the show as well. I'll find 516 00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:30.639 out when we get back from vacation. Okay, September and two comedy specials 517 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:34.920 coming out. The first one's about just me making fun of kiss the other 518 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:37.840 ones more traditional one later at the end of the year, and then I 519 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:42.440 am gonna be performing this weekend in Houston. It's the whole reason I'm here 520 00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.840 is at the Secret Group this weekend on Saturday night, we're gonna do two 521 00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.039 shows and all the tickets all at getgas dot com. It's get Gas with 522 00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:53.920 two Wes's dot com. And Dude, you've always been incredibly nice to me. 523 00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:58.079 And from the very first time we ever hung out in Houston, I 524 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.679 remember one time being in New Orleans and I think I thought you were in 525 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:04.159 New Orleans and you wrote me this long email like, dude, oh man, 526 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:05.840 I don't live there. I love this stuff. This is great. 527 00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:08.519 I love you know, but I don't live there. And then when I 528 00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:12.639 finally got to see you in person, you invited me out, you invited 529 00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:17.480 me to your home, and you've always been incredibly hospitable and I really I 530 00:35:17.519 --> 00:35:22.920 can't tell you enough. When you travel and you feel a disconnect as you're 531 00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:25.320 traveling because you don't know people in these cities you go to, it really 532 00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:31.239 means a lot when someone is that kind to you that they invite you into 533 00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:35.159 your home. And I've always been appreciative of that, and I want to 534 00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:37.360 say thank you for that. Well, man, thank you. Man. 535 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.480 You've always been awesome and uh, yeah, you've been a great friend over 536 00:35:40.519 --> 00:35:44.679 the years and I continued success. It's great having you on. I'm so 537 00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:49.400 glad you're back here in Houston. We'll send people over to the website. 538 00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:53.239 And dude, don't put so much time in between coming to see us in 539 00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:55.880 Houston, you know, I know, I can't wait to come back. 540 00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:58.920 There's so many more stories that they have for you. But yeah, I'm 541 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.039 looking forward to coming back Getgas dot com.

But we got two shows this 543 00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:07.840 weekend, Secret Group, and you can go to the Secret Group's website, 544 00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:14.559 the Secret Group HTx dot com or I think it's easier to remember Getgas dot 545 00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:16.440 com, Get Gas with two s dot com and look at all that weird 546 00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:20.639 shit on my Instagram.
