the Joe Rogan experience you're a funny guy man and you take you at least used
to
take a lot of shit and I never understood I never I don't either I
never have understood that but it's mellowed out a little bit it's kind of
like you know you've done it so long yeah kind of like okay you can go to the
barbecue now you're part of the club but um for years and years I mean from
from
the very very beginning which is kind of funny you being a comic but I started
in
Florida one thing everybody worried about was a was you know beaver you know
you don't yeah steal you know I stole his act so I thought you know not only
did
I do my my thing just because I wanted to do props but I thought wow no one's
gonna hate me because I'm doing I'm not doing anyone's I mean I'm you know
stealing crime watch signs and shit right and lugging around the country so if
anything they would say you know okay he's not funny or at least he's original
but he's not funny but they would say oh no he's you know everything they just
got
I would get shit for like I was the shit I was just feeling the punchline just
yeah you were a whipping boy yeah you know what it's like you're like the it's
like Nickelback for whatever Nickelback takes so much shit it's like someone
decides that that's a good punchline you know right and I've seen Nickelback
and
they put on a pretty amazing show they've got some good songs and they do
their pop songs yeah but so fucking what it's like they're not hurting anybody
it
was you know so let's say I would do a show and we have a you know nice crowd
it was great and standing ovation we get on the bus and we're driving to
wherever
next gig and we're all watching you know the TV and then boom there's a caretop
rip and I'd be like you know what the fuck we just I just not only we just did
a
great show we had a whole bunch of people laughing yeah so this one guy is tell
me
you know that I said whatever you know I've always been a guy that's considered
the
source I mean I was always picked on as a kid but but when I'd come home my mom
was you
know what happened now they picked on me who was it it was this guy well
consider the
source right yeah it's always been that with with comedy too like when you know
George Carlin said I was funny that that just negated every every asshole that
said
I've sucked I was like George Carlin thought I was funny so that you know
good show well you kind of want I think most humans want everyone to love them
right yeah it was a world but as comics we're we're even more sensitive we want
well I want I want not only have fans but I want my peers to like me as well so
yeah weird and then people say well who gives a shit of you know you know you
have fans that love you who cares about your peers I'm like well you kind of
want
other comics to go hey man I dig your style you know no for sure that's the
thing if you're
rejected by your peers if even if the rest of the world loves you what comics
hate you
right it's horrible it's been like I said I've kind of I've done it so long I
guess they're
finally got fuck it he can stay I guess well I think first of all you own the
genre now
there used to be like when I started in 88 there used to be prop comics yeah
you became so successful
as a prop comic that you own the genre like there's no prop comics anymore man
I think I
know I don't think anyone wants to be one that's what I think they're like fuck
that I'm not going
down that path I'm gonna take over all the abuse that I took I'd tell them don't
do it but then we
had though like you said that were Rip Taylor or yeah Gallagher and by the way
Gallagher was
very much of an influence on me when I was when I started doing comedy and I
and I I I would get
uh well I should just tell you because so so one day Gallagher meets me for
lunch and and Gallagher's
listening so he um he's up my I mean he's yelling at me and screaming in front
of everybody in the
front of the like the valet and he says I stole his act and I was like Gallagher
yeah he meets you
for lunch to yell at you yeah well I think we've made up since I think he came
to the show and told
me how to redo it but uh I know he did he's I've heard him on stern dude he
sounds fucking crazy
and and and you know stop doing props so um yeah so uh but the thing that I
thought was kind of funny
because I in my defense of Gallagher I used to always say um it's not the
watermelon that's he's
a really brilliant comic I mean you go back and listen to his his writing yeah
it was great but
all people knew was him jumping on a big couch and hitting right hitting a
watermelon but I would
always say no that guy's a genius and so then he meets me and he tells me you
know what you you stole
my act and you didn't steal that you stole the stupid stuff and I said we tied
and well first I
didn't steal anything he says hey the stupid stuff why didn't you steal the
smart stuff the words the
stuff that's actually clever why would you steal I said but I didn't steal it's
my stupid stuff I didn't
what was he saying you stole my whole act he said you know my you know just I
made me the genre I
guess because if you break down Gallagher prop stuff it was always a pun it was
a shoehorn it was
like Rip Taylor kind of like a hey it's a butterfly it's butter with wings and
mine was like no it's a
crime watch sign it's a it's a it's a it's a it was more of an invention um
prop so he thought that by
you know maybe holding up two things and saying it's a this and a that but like
he used to do that
see and I never did that that's what was funny we never I've never my style of
prop comedy is kind
of an interesting it's like an inventive if you go back and find a prop there's
always a twist to it
it's not just me holding up a it's not a word play word like the wid you know
it's like I've got my
tubes tied and it's just tubes all together so Moran's like trying to think
what I would have like uh you
know I don't know like a microphone for Mick Jagger that has an oxygen thing in
it so you know so it's
it's something it's something that's more into it anyway it's just a different
same way I get it
when I did it's jokey but it's also yeah and when I did the family guy um they
said uh they called
they said you know we got the thing already and they sent me the script and I
was like
so the joke is it's a seesaw right so I'm like uh so it's prop is a saw with
glasses on it right and
that's kind of not what I do right and so I was like oh man this is uh I don't
like this if we
change it to something that I do and the guy that was his um what's that McFarlane
says um dude no
this is people's fucking great and I said I don't know but it's seesaw it's
really stupid and he says
I wrote it I said no it's not that stupid then um I said no I just want to do
so I can I can I do one
of my props he said well two two things wrong we already have the animation
done right and secondly
everyone loves it and if you want to do it well you know we'll just get someone
else to do the voice
it's fine I said no no I want to do it I just if we can't fuck it so I did it
and I still to this
day get people go dude seesaw so they were they were right I just uh I just was
like damn it I want
it to be a little more I get it yeah well also you've got to be a little
defensive after all the
years of people shitting on you yeah yeah yeah yeah true
