Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out!
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day!
What's wrong?
Yeah, I'm going to go for it back.
Part of it was Roland.
Adam Ray, my man.
Great to see you.
Guest of the year, Kill Tony, how's it feel?
Feels great.
Did you get a belt or anything, some sort of a cup?
I should have.
Some sort of a cup, like a Stanley Cup?
Tony, always shortchanging the gifts.
That motherfucker.
That was the last time I saw you, I think.
You should get a jacket.
That's what it should be.
Guest of the year.
That's not a great idea.
That's a great idea.
We made these for the end of the Dr. Phil tour, which, by the way, we have our
very last one
at the Wilton on December 16th, if anyone wants to.
Have you ever had Dr. Phil on as a guest?
Yes.
Remember for the Netflix special.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was so funny.
We were in the green room.
I met him like an hour before, and he goes, he goes, no, it's your show, but I'm
going to
fuck with you.
And I'm dressed as him, and I go, well, I know you better than you know
yourself, motherfuckers,
to strap in.
And he was like, oh, shit.
And he was dying laughing.
But the last time I saw you, I think I was Tony, right?
Right.
At the mothership.
Yeah, the difference is like doing it on your show when you're doing the Dr.
Phil show.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a different thing.
I felt oddly, you know, the whole show is improvised, so it's a wild thing to
do an unscripted show
with somebody you have no rapport with.
Right.
When I've had...
And you're doing an impression of him.
Totally.
So I'm trying to go, I think everything I'm going to do is hunky-dory with him,
but I don't
know if I'm going to press the wrong button.
At one point, I think he said something where I go, well, marriage is tough.
I go, but we keep it fresh in the bedroom, right?
And he goes, okay, watch yourself.
And I go, I was like, we don't use butt plugs?
But he was such a, he rolled with everything, man.
I'm good friends with his son.
Jordan?
Jay.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I've got to know Jordan, who kind of helped facilitate the whole thing.
He kind of got in his ear and was like, this thing is pretty awesome, and it's
making you, you know, it's...
Making both of them famous.
Totally.
And I'm just glad that, because you never know, like I could have two days in
gotten a letter
that was just like, enough's enough.
Easily.
I actually ended the Netflix special with showing his signed contract, like, to
the camera,
being like, look, no cease and desist.
But, you know, you never know.
But it's a parody.
He's a really good guy.
Yeah, and laughing at yourself is such a, man, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I started talking about this on stage, where it's just like, the people
that I am friends
with that, like, that aren't comics, that I'll be in, you know, hangs with,
that, like,
if I, you know, bust their balls and they get a little weird about it, it's
like, oh, man.
Like, you're a bummer not only for right now and the hang, but just this bleeds
into other facets of your life.
You gotta be being self-deprecating.
And, you know, within context, obviously, if someone's just, you know, you know,
just making fun of you.
Just being mean.
Just being mean.
There's a difference.
There's a difference between being mean and being funny.
But, like, Tony, for example, like, doing Tony on Kill Tony, I remember I was
in Portland, or in Eugene at my buddy's club, Olsen Run Comedy Club.
Shout out, great club.
And I'm there, and I tell the story about how Shane and I, the Biden-Trump
thing came together.
Because a buddy of mine asked me, he's like, you and Shane must, you have been
best friends like 10 years ago.
We literally, that was probably the sixth time we've ever talked to each other.
So, we're getting to know each other in full makeup for two plus hours.
That's a weird way to build a fucking friendship.
Yeah.
And so, I had-
You guys are so good at bouncing off of crowds and off of each other.
It was seamless.
Right.
It was really fun.
Yeah.
There's something cool about jumping in the bit boat with somebody that's just
like, oh, I just want to make the other person laugh.
Yeah.
Like, I got comfy, because he's Shane.
He'd been nice about the Phil stuff, but, like, you know, he was definitely
established as Shane Gillis.
So, it's like, and it's Trump, and Biden's trying to find, I'm trying to find
my ways to be a sniper when he's not known for being funny.
But, as soon as I got out there and I had the frozen eyes and I was like, and
Shane started to break out, that made me feel really comfortable when Shane,
like, couldn't keep it together.
But, so, this kid in line at the meet and greet goes, you should do Tony on
Kill Tony.
Because I tell the story of how Tony was like, Shane's going to do Trump.
You got to do Biden.
I bought a new vest.
It's going down, baby.
You know, I do all that.
And the guy's like, you should do Tony.
And I was like, I kind of scoffed it off, and then I texted him, and I said,
what would you think about me dressing up as you?
And he just texted me back in all caps, absolutely.
It'll be your best character yet.
While we're doing this, unfortunately, people can't see anything.
So, you know, they just see us.
Oh, that's right.
I want to show.
Okay.
Because it's so crazy how close you get to him.
It's kind of eerie.
Like, I didn't see it in you.
Your face structure changed.
Yeah.
Like, you look like a different person.
It's like you had become Tony.
Like, you do a weird thing when you do characters.
Like, you oddly become that person.
Like, give me some volume on this.
Oh, the beginning.
Yeah.
Oh, my God, dude.
Who's ready for the best fucking night of their lives?
Bro, it's like you got a different face.
Yeah.
Well, they did something weird.
You did something weird.
Yeah.
They taped my ears back a little bit to push his ears out.
And then the teeth are the same.
Oh, I just got the clothes.
The hair.
I mean, you look oddly like him.
Yeah, it's wild.
You're less like you than him.
Yeah.
I would think that's more Tony Hinchcliffe doing an Adam Ray impersonation.
You know what was the best is Woody Harrelson was there that night and comes up
to me after.
And he's like, he's like, man, he's like, that shit was fucking crazy, man.
He's like, I don't know what was going on or what you had to do.
I was like, I watched the intro a bunch.
I've known Tony since we both started.
And he goes, you kind of got a little Johnny Depp going on with the thing.
So then I started going, I go, Woody, I go, maybe I am Johnny Depp.
Maybe I'm Johnny playing Tony.
And then he was like, what the fuck, man?
Bro, you should totally do that.
Johnny is the pirate.
That's not a bad idea.
It's a fucking great idea.
I just heard your accent.
On kill, Tony.
100%.
In full pirate garb?
Yes.
Jack Sparrow.
Just come out Jack Sparrow.
I'm a big fan of Horns Coombe.
Horns Coombe actually.
Yes.
Dude.
That's a great idea.
100%.
Okay, yeah.
Has to be done.
Yeah, real understated.
Has to be done.
Wow, okay.
That is your next big character.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
The Amber Heard jokes are endless.
Oh, my God.
Endless well.
Oh, my God.
I was just like, well, what sort of a pot could he pull from to kind of...
Oh, cocaine.
Yeah.
And maybe every time he likes somebody, he goes, I'm going to give you the
Johnny Depp bracelet of approval.
And he gives him like a bracelet.
That's a great idea.
Wow, Joe.
All right.
Dude, this is a perfect character for you.
People have pitched me to do...
You should have a treasure chest filled with cocaine.
Can we delete this from the podcast so we can save it?
No, no, no.
No way.
This is great.
A treasure chest filled with coke.
Oh, my God.
Bring out a treasure chest filled with baby powder.
Just about like 10 pounds of baby powder.
And just in between...
Instead of Heidi bringing out drinks, he brings me bags of coke.
And I'm just blowing lines.
A fucking full treasure chest, bro.
Oh, that's so funny, Joe.
You got a parrot.
You got a parrot.
A real parrot?
No, no, no.
A real parrot would probably freak out and have a hard time.
Yeah.
We did.
I did just...
So I tried to this new character called Bruce Robbins at the Comedy Store.
He's like a mentalist magician.
And it's going to drop on my YouTube in a couple weeks.
And I rented an owl for 1,200 bucks.
A like...
Harlan said he knew the type of owl.
Harlan was on the show, too.
A Eurasian, I think, owl.
He said it's the biggest owl.
Whoa.
This thing was...
So the whole bit was...
This character, Bruce Robbins, he's got like a big blonde coif.
Big bug teeth.
And kind of from the South.
Talks like this real fast, you know.
And I'm a magician.
I'm a former real estate agent, too.
But magic is my healing power.
And so the bit was bringing out this owl that was like a psychic owl.
And so people would ask it questions.
But I had my buddy who does a really good Morgan Freeman do voiceover.
So then I would hold the mic up to the owl's face.
And then you would play the Morgan Freeman.
So like somebody goes, you know, how many...
Or somebody asked, is democracy ruined or are we going to save it in this
country?
And we had a bunch of canned responses.
And so then I go, Archie, what do you think about Archie the psychic gal?
Is democracy going to be saved or ruined?
And then you just hear Morgan Freeman go, gay.
I go, thanks for it.
Thanks.
Any other questions we got, you know.
But a real parrot for Johnny Depp would be wild.
Or maybe a face of a fake one.
I don't think parrots would enjoy that.
It would probably be animal cruelty.
It probably would.
The large crowd of people screaming and cheering.
And what's your creature, you know, do you have any...
Has anyone brought...
What's the craziest thing someone's brought into the mothership for like a...
Oh, like an animal?
No one's ever brought an animal.
I'm trying to think too.
Except Paulie brings his dog sometimes.
But he's got a sweet dog.
And Ron's brought his dog a bunch of times.
Ron's got a cute little dog.
Yeah.
And I'm trying to think of when we did a Dr. Phil at the mothership, we didn't
have too many crazy elements.
You ever worked with Liza?
Schlesinger, yeah.
We did a game show.
She'd make you hold her dog.
Used to make her always hold her dog.
She'd just like give you a dog before she goes on stage.
Take my dog and be like, okay.
Yeah, I know.
And thank God it's always the people that love dogs.
I've held multiple dogs of hers over the years.
You know, because dogs die.
Oh, yeah.
She gets a new one.
Bro, I...
She's got that new one with the scars around her nose.
Yeah.
Where she was one of those dogs that they were...
I mean, who knows what the fuck they were going to do to it.
Yeah.
But they had its...
It's face-bound.
I think she got it from China.
Wow.
Yeah, she did.
Yeah.
Because I think she calls it like feng-chu.
Yeah.
Something like dim-sum.
Dim-sum.
Yeah, it's close.
Something like that.
Yeah, which is racist.
Which is racist.
Yeah, very racist.
Couldn't have gone with, like, Albert or Jill.
Bro, you ever been on Blue Sky?
What's that?
Blue Sky is, like, the ultra-super-liberal Twitter for people, like, Twitter's
filled with Nazis.
And they ran over to Blue Sky.
Some guy wrote, I'm just trying to be zen about it.
And then someone under that wrote, how about try not to be racist against
Asians?
Wow.
For saying zen.
For saying zen.
I don't like that.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
That was one of the wildest, like, reaches I've ever seen in my life.
Zen is a state of mind.
Zen is one of the best words to describe being tranquil or serene, right, is
another one.
Zen in the art of motorcycle repair.
God damn.
Zen in the art of archery.
I was just talking about how my dogs are my, like, zen happy place.
Which, by the way-
Imagine thinking that saying that is racist.
Yeah, that's bananas.
But that's how crazy, this is, like, what you're dealing with with humans out
there.
Some people are just off the reservation.
Yeah.
