podcast
by night all day let's go how are you fella good to see you dude you're fucking
dripping
with diamonds sir what's going on the road's been good to you look at you I'm
just so empty
inside this just fills the hole for like like it's like you know you go by you're
like oh and
then you get home you go I hate my life I hate my insides and no spirituality
but I get to look at
my just emptiness on you know dripping with wrapper diamonds I've ran out of I've
ran out of shit to
buy so like there's nothing what kind of car are you driving a Lexus is 350 oh
those are fun it's
nice good car bulletproof never never gonna break and it's so fast yeah you
know it's but this is how
fucked it okay so the two okay I had the uh Lexus 350 right right whatever I
went and I had it for
seven months maybe I went in to get it serviced and I was kind of depressed so
I bought a different car
I said I said I go this is not this is fucked up so I bought the is 350 I had
the other car for seven
fucking months I go you know what that one looks cool so I bought that and then
I went in to get it
uh that service and it was the exact same car a year later but I like the newer
color the newer gray
oh that gray that whatever weird gray a slate gray yeah it's like it looks good
I said you know what
fuck give me this car so I traded he keeps swapping them out yeah they must
love you yeah they fuck I'm
such a mooch on one one year of my wife's birthday I bought myself a new car on
her birthday I want to be on her
birthday happy birthday we could drive around in this oh my god that probably
played off well
I buy her cars I just so you know uh so now I get bored easy I get bored easy
and it's because of
you know in life in life really like I see some of my friends doing arenas
doing this doing that
but I have enough I really have enough but it's not enough do you know what I'm
saying does that
make sense yeah I one I think for my career not for my personal life my
personal life I got three
fucking great daughters uh three grandkids another one on the way my seven-year-old
is gonna go to
college has pick of all kinds of schools you know good schools I fucking in 11th
grade
I raised my hand and go to the bathroom and I never came back I just walked out
like I'm a fucking
idiot you know uh my past and my kids all grew up okay the old one married a
black guy but he's
light-skinned but anyhow the prettiest baby on the planet so I have enough but
when it comes to career
as a comic and you know just one more fucking thing just one more thing you
know what I'm saying
I do know what you're saying uh I don't know I don't know what it is you know I've
had specials
not Netflix but it's always it's like I'm always doing the other club right you
know I'm saying I'm
always and I'm very blessed and I love what I've achieved in this business but
it seems like it's
always like uh okay I got a special on Amazon now but it's not it wasn't Amazon
didn't buy it we placed
it on that you know what I'm saying so it's always there's always one little
thing when every pilot my
wife and I have had together I've had gets this close to getting picked up you
know I've heard
some of the no's I've heard they almost sounded like yeses they were such a
good no's I walked out and
go that was the best no today that fucking no almost felt like a yes so in this
business do you think you
put something in your mind to make all these things kind of fall short have you
ever thought of that
yeah well that's what my wife says yeah do you ever thought that like maybe the
way you interface with
the world is like your expectations are tempered like in a way where you almost
want to fail because
it's more comforting that it happened again rather than this new thing of
success which is going to
force you to really focus and work harder to get more success and it's a lot of
pressure and then you
think about all the times you fucked up before and you don't want to hear you
don't want to hear no
again you don't want to hear it but you feel like it's coming and you almost
make it come well I get
that in life growing up from my childhood through drug addiction I became
comfortable being uncomfortable
that was my life right come comfortable being in the skids being on yeah this
was what I was used to in this
business I don't I don't really ever set myself up for failure I mean I produce
I come up with albums I
on state I'm always coming up with new material mm-hmm and I got seven albums I'll
probably make an eighth
album which is a pretty it's a lot for a career I should imagine that's great I
don't go into clubs and drink I
I don't uh hit on waitresses you know so I don't know but my wife says the
exact same thing you're
saying my wife said to me once she said it because I had this power thinking
like when I think really
hard it comes to me shit right mm-hmm and my wife goes if you think you uh
deserve a million dollars
this was you'll get a million dollars and I said God gives you what you need
not what you want and then
she said do you think Chelsea Handler needed a TV show so she kind of like debunked
my whole need you know and one thing I
it if you believe in some kind of power greater than you or spiritual I'm not
religious by
any fucking but I shit comes to me I don't think I fucking screw things up I
don't screw things up like
you know in meetings or when we do pilots or whatever I I do what I'm supposed
to do so I don't know I
mean in comedy yeah for years I might been a little aggressive on stage or you
know a
little whatever you know I think everything now especially now with clubs or
whatever it's all numbers they
don't give a fuck if you like to wait staff on fire if you sold out the room
they go great you were fabulous you
know I was I was working catch years ago I was at catch and Bill Hicks okay so
David Brenner's on
stage and this is a day love David Brenner he's killing killing he is during
the peak of David Brenner
he gets off bill walk Bill Hicks goes up and he says growing up as a kid I
would see Robert Klein and
David Brenner and I figure if they could do it I could do it so now he's doing
his bit about Nancy
Reagan skinny whatever and calling her the anti I mean people are running out
the door they're running out
the door and then he gets off stage and he he says to me he goes what went
wrong but I swear to God he
goes what was wrong serious yeah was he joking around no he was he he was
whatever he was building I don't
know it's hard to tell with him yeah but anyhow the the manager or Booker now
after the said to him
you can come and do a spot here anytime you want because he was Bill Hicks you
see what I'm saying
he was Bill Hicks you know I worked with him in Texas it's when I first started
and I'm watching him
you know and we'll get back on track I'm sorry to go off on this thing go
wherever you want to go so we're
we're working in Texas he he just breaks up his girlfriend breaks out with him
at the time it's a true story
so he goes
where can you get a hooker a
prostitute and a cab driver I like how you had to clarify yeah I know that's
you know it's a lot of these young kids now that listen okay
a prostitute okay
so
the cab driver takes him to one house because they would take you to the and
and I go with him he goes take a ride so
then we go to one house she knocks on the door and she opens the door goes you're
a cop and slammed the door on
the door in his face
Then he went but he also the next place the cab driver took him she opened the
door goes you're too young and slammed the door on him
oh my god the next night
he did ten minutes or whatever on how he can't can't pick up a prostitute in
Lubbock, Texas
Anyway, I go I'll never be this funny as long as I fucking live like I've
watched people going
amazing
you know and
Then I was running then with Bastille. That's when I was running with best
Frankie Bastille. Yeah, he's so he
I'll tell you I told you this story
I've told the story and it's been told but I don't know if I told it last years
ago when I did this and
Then I'll get back to I'm not
Self-sabotaging. That's what you were getting to in my head in myself sabotaging
Not not self-sabotaging. I don't think it's a self-sabotage thing. It's a not
understanding the energy that you're putting out there
And being accustomed to a certain result
Okay, if you're accustomed to missing your playing pool, you're accustomed to
missing the nine ball
You know, yeah, you're gonna miss that fucking nine ball every time what
happens in golf - yeah, I'm sure it happens the same thing
you gotta
Reset the way you think about things and if there's something that's eating
away at you that bothers you that
Occupies your thoughts you have to figure out what that is and clean that up
Because that's that's a big part of the problem with a lot of people a lot of
the problem a lot of people is maybe
They don't like something about themselves. They don't like what they've done.
They don't like
You know choices they've made and that's in your head all the time
You're like you you're you know, you're the lack of
Similarity the lack of peace is in your head all the time
Well, you know, it's not he this is not an easy thing. I'm saying I'm not
saying this is like, okay
Here's the real formula. Just go out follow these three steps and you're gonna
be rich and famous
No, it's not that it's just that
success generally happens when you've got as many pieces as possible in order
correctly and
Failure generally happens when you're overwhelmed by too many things that are
not
working, right?
And you've your your your attention and your focus is on them
You're divided, you know a lot of times you see it's like a terrible
relationship
I know a lot of really talented people that sabotage themselves with a terrible
relationship and they think somehow or another that
This is just how relationships are and this and they're terrible in that
relationship like and then they can never be
Who they could be they can never reach their full potential because they're
always
Burdened down by these fucking squabbles. They're having with their girlfriend
or their boyfriend
You know, it's that's also to a God thing where you think I could fix this
person or I could sure change him
No, one can that Brian Callen he went I count his whole life
I would tell him get out now. I would be his girlfriend. I'd be like get out
now
Uh-huh. I met a girl. I'm one girl that he dated. I literally within five
seconds of saying hello to her go come here
I pulled him aside
Cut to okay, he doesn't listen, you know later that night like she's drinking
wine. She's fucking hammer
It's a disaster. She winds up living with him eventually figures it out gets
rid of her a couple years later
He's walking on the street on sunset and she's street walking
No, yes
Girl, he was living with him important time. This is Brian count. He's like he
felt abandoned when he was young and
So he I believe I'm speaking for him
And so he's he's a sweet guy and he tries to reach out and fix people
Well, here's my Brian Callen story. It's very funny. I was
middling for him at
Caroline's which will never happen again because Caroline's is close
I'm middling for him. So I get off stage and I'm single it just fucking smoking
hot girl
Comes up to me and she goes come on. Let's leave
right
Yeah, I don't know I gotta sell my
DVDs or
To show my DVDs or CDs after the show
I'm sitting there selling CDs and I see Brian walked out with her right past me
I just I fucked up but maybe I didn't who knows you definitely didn't cuz
Bonnie's awesome
For you in the long run, but it's yeah, he definitely should have left with her
No, I shouldn't enough because that's what that in life is where I was supposed
to be at that time when I was there
Okay, I see what you're saying. You know what I mean. You're correct anything.
What if it what if she's a nightmare?
And then y
