Joe Rogan Experience #2187 - Adam Sandler

I'm so happy to be here buddy thanks I'm happy to have you here I was excited
to see you we know
each other a long time and and I was excited to come to Austin of course we
were just talking
about how zookeeper was 14 years ago I shocked how how it flies by man it's
terrible it's terrible
it's that that was a fun time though that's oh yeah KJ was so excited that was
very fun that was
very fun yeah I I'm you and KJ with sussy yeah right yeah that's how you guys
that's oh you guys
known Kevin for 30 something years yeah knowing him forever yeah it's funny
because even your
stand-up my watch your stand-up the other night you guys remind me of each
other there's something
something you you take your time on stage you set it up you say your shit and
you live in it like it's it's
it's it's it's it's not the same but that you guys you can tell you guys are
buddies there's something
about it that's that's you feel like it everybody feels like I fucking I would
hang out with that guy
let's go but but uh did you and KJ start stand-up together or well we didn't
start together exactly
I started in Boston he started in New York but I met him when I was like I
guess two years in about two
years in where where'd you guys meet in New York at the strip or something I
think we met at Eastside
Eastside I don't think I did that's downtown no Eastside Comedy Club was on
Long Island oh yeah
that I used to go that was in like Huntington yeah yeah yeah that was a great
club I thought
was Richie Manervini's place that's right that's Manervini but now that's a
funny bastard yeah he's a
funny dude I I first one of them first comedy clubs I watched I think I saw
Carol Leifer at the Eastside
comedy club my sister lived in Huntington and and uh she said do you want to go
see uh it wasn't my
first but it was like first couple she said do you want to see a comedian uh
there's a club around
here I said yeah yeah and I sat in the back I think it I think I might have
been like 15 or something
16 and I and I saw uh Carol Leifer killed for like an hour I think that was
exciting that that club was
rocking yeah it's gone though right there's are there good clubs on Long Island
now like what's that oh
well geez man I don't know what there was always governors that always existed
yes I remember there
was a few bars that were comedy clubs that I used to do there I just don't
remember the names right
now but back in the day when I was young I would go out to the island governors
I don't think I got on
there much maybe a couple times when I was young that was kind of a rocking
club oh yeah Steve-o
wasn't Steve you remember Steve-o Steve-o no he was I know Steve-o the jackass
jackass no there was
another guy Steve-o who was a funny comic and uh John Mulroney you remember
sure yeah I remember he
was kind of huge out there he used to be a cop right I think so yeah I think so
he was I remember
Mulroney was by far him and Kevin Meany were the two guys you didn't want to go
after I remembered
Mulroney would just destroy a room he was so loose and would dominate the room
and then they bring you up
and you're like oh goodness gracious I saw Kevin Meany once at Catch a Rising
Star in uh in Cambridge
mm-hmm and it was insanity it was when he was at his peak absolute peak I wasn't
even thinking about
doing comedy then uh-huh I was just a comedy fan and I went with a friend of
mine from high school I
think we were both like 18 and we went and we saw him just fucking destroy for
an hour to the point where I
got out of there it was like I had an ab workout I was in pain yes yes yes I
was like Jesus Christ yes
I know he was so in the groove like everything he did was funny I I man and I've
never in my life
killed as hard as Kevin Meany I mean there's nobody you can kill that I
remember me and rock would be on
the side at Catch a Rising Star watching Meany do whatever he did and you were
just like yeah I don't
think I can get laughs that loud it's fucking blew out he was on fire it was on
fire but it was it was
weird it's like it didn't sustain like he later in his career for whatever
reason it just the whatever he
had for those few years like in the 80s in the early 90s uh-huh it didn't keep
going for some strange
dream he kept doing stand-up but something was missing I don't know what it was
did he he he I know we
killed on the Tonight Show with Carson I'm sure oh yeah destroyed and did all I
I don't know what he
wanted I don't know what what the next thing he wanted I just remember maybe
didn't he do a TV show
Uncle Buck yeah but that was not that good you know that was the John Candy
movie as they turned into a
television show and I think you know there was always the thing that he was in
the closet and then
he came out of the closet and then it was kind of like right before he died I'll
tell you I did I I
did a Boston Club comedy connection when I was 17 I ate it I came offstate I
mean I bombed him my dad
dad was there watching it was a terrible feeling and uh and um even the uh MC
who I don't remember
when I came off stage after eating it I'm walking you know that awful feeling
of walking through the
crowd and they're all looking at you like Jesus dude and and then the fucking
MC stopped me he goes Adam
Adam I turn around you know with your head spinning and shit I go you know I
look at the guy he goes
class clown and I go I nod my head like yes he goes maybe stick with that place
laughing and I go okay
you know I fucking walked off and then I went into the dressing room because I
was wanted to hide
and Meanie Meanie you're funny kid blah blah blah said some nice shit to me I
always remembered oh that
me fucking good dude man he was lifting me up yeah some encouragement from a
real comedian when you're
just starting out can go a long way yeah man so in the beginning it's so shaky
you don't know if it's
gonna work out like what am I doing oh you feel you go home at night head
spinning what am I doing to
myself why am I doing this yes yes it's fucking insane it truly is the sickest
feeling and then there's
days or nights you go on stage and you're shit you're not doing good you're
eating it but you have a
confidence and you're like I'm pretty good at this even though I'm fucking
eating it right I feel pretty
good right now you feel like this is I'm gonna figure this out yeah right
exactly I'm gonna figure it
out yeah your movies kept my family sane through the beginning of the pandemic
we went on an Adam
Sandler run we're like we watched basically every we don't one we didn't watch
is little Nikki we
for whatever reason we never got to that one because we've watched other ones
like to it I've watched the
Zoe I might have just seen this only in 20 times Wow I fucking love that thank
you yeah
yeah such a funny movie why didn't you ever do a second one that's fucking
always talked about it
I mean dude the the it's a no-brainer it would be a lot of stuff right now
right we'd have to
wait a minute put that one on the shelf for a little bit we had to put that one
on the shelf a bunch of times when we were about
to do it because shit would go on we'd be like maybe it's a tough time to do it
right now and then we
just we got it we did it we we the intention was good to try to say let's try
to get some peace out
there but yeah and then another part of it is I'll never fucking be in that
shape again I don't think I
could ever do that and then uh you hire a trainer get it I know but I can't
stick with it buddy you are
doing great how the fuck are you eating so good and hitting it so hard I'm like
you know I used to
fucking take working out so serious when I was in maybe up to like 25 26 yeah I
can't fucking do it I
I play hoop then I eat and I every even walk every time I'm eating I'm going
what are you doing man
you don't need to do this I can't stop just got a little bit of thickness all
over
yeah it's something that's just
you you have to stay on the horse you can't back off at all especially as you
get older
yeah you back off at all you just start what is this you start feeling this
thing I know I have a
new I know buddy this episode is brought to you by zip recruiter being an MMA

that'd be fun to look like that i always
always fucking wanted to be i had i had i had no shit when i was 18 to 23 i hit
it so hard i never looked like you i never was jack
you look good during the zohan pretty good really good pretty fucking good for
me that was that was as good as i can get and i had i naturally had a little
something going on when i was real like the the college years but that now it's
fucking rough my kids go what my daughter one daughter sadie's always saying
dad
get the train from the zohan why would you ever give that up why would you why
did you stop i was like ah it's a lot of work yeah but didn't you like the way
you felt yeah yeah well you should do that get that feeling back and stuff like
that but i just can't jump in there well she sounds like a good coach she's
good yeah she's she's saying the right
saying the right stuff she's right everything she says she's i i have a uh
thought where i i it's i don't promise her i go let me think about that that's
a good idea
the whole thing is just not overdoing it in the beginning starting slow where
it's maintainable and then slowly build up that's the key so you give yourself
new goals what when well i never stop but i mean when you get started
yeah and the thing is like people try to go too hard like oh my god i'm out of
shape i'm gonna run fucking 10 miles and i'm gonna lift weights and then you're
too tired and then you're so fucking sore in the morning like i can't keep this
up
the whole key is just give your body enough where it's it's pushing it but it's
not exhausted you're not breaking your body down right you're just
strengthening it slowly you got to get sick the same way or you got to get
better the same way you got sick right you got sick over time yeah over time
eating right yeah that's fucking up and then you got to get better that way
over time slowly start to morph your body back
into a good condition that's good everybody tries to go too hard they try to go
too crazy they do something unsustainable
you get excited to get it going again and then and then you get injured you
break yourself down yes hurt your knees hurt your back it's like it's too much
tear or something yeah the key is just not do too much just do enough and just
cut back on you say i'm gonna only have two cheat days a week two days a week i'm
gonna eat whatever the fuck i want five days a week i'm gonna eat clean
and then break it down to six days a week i'm gonna eat clean one day a week i'm
gonna fuck off yeah yeah yeah you can go one day a week just fucking off you
can get a lot done tha
