um the guest this
this time was julian casablanca's who let's be real folks i'm gonna be candid
okay um when i was in
high school and i i was reading spin magazine i would see pictures of this
gentleman who was about
who's on the show um that you're about to see and um i don't know if he was gay
but i just wanted to know him i thought new york city was a place where it was
nighttime 24
hours a day and everyone was the strokes i thought it was that and i thought it
was like uh seinfeld i
thought it was a place where jewish men uh jewish gargoyles can date 11s and or
you could be the
strokes okay and i was like either way that's the city i want a part of one day
when i'm when i'm a
37 year old uh i was a gay thought i never had gay thoughts about this guy i
just thought i wanted
to i wanted to be like him i just wanted to know him that the that album the
first album you guys
remember what was your favorite song thomas i don't even remember it was so
good what a
shit answer i'm with my staff right now my troops as i call them i've installed
one of those buttons
under my desk that matt lauer had that locks the door uh no yeah it's just me
here still i i really do
think now i can do this i can do this guys this is an episode that was recorded
what 27 years ago
with uh julian casablanca's if there are a couple of fun uh complications that
you will
guys this is the second episode
of the last episode of luca is a laker what first episode of luca is a laker
okay enough ad-libbing
on the other side of the camera intro sketch oh yeah the intro sketch oh okay
yeah here's the other
thing um this one we actually shot an intro sketch for um which uh was so this
was never aired but this
is another sketch kind of a problem that nick and i kept running into was the
sketch the sketches that
we wrote continuously were the same thing where it's like well we don't have
anything for the intro this
week uh so this fell in line with that you know we weren't necessarily in love
with this these are
lost episodes guys make of them what you will i actually think this intro is
really funny i i hadn't
watched it in about a year and a half but i think it is pretty funny so first
we're going to show you
the intro then we'll be back with a word from our sponsors and then please
ladies and gentlemen enjoy
our interview with julian casablanca's
did you see 12 years of slave no you didn't it's a very tragic movie but it
came out like 10 years ago
and i hadn't seen it i haven't seen it since it came out in theaters and not
being able to emotionally
connect with the memory of seeing the movie it is kind of very funny as a
premise
uh go on well just think what the hell were you thinking doing an interview
behind my back he just
gets kidnapped i'm sorry you're sorry sorry isn't gonna cut it you're gonna
have to pay for this
i've decided i i want i want more of the money but you're already taking 95
percent of the money
well i've decided it should be a hundred percent yeah but what about the work
that i do the work
you do your job is to come up with a monologue and write shitty sketches and
this is what you've
done to me that's maybe the movie i wanted to see is a modern day martin lawrence
being kidnapped
by by by slave catchers that have a time machine something you know i i don't
know what's worse
the idea that you could just your end of the bargain or or or this attempt to
replace me
i wasn't trying to replace you yeah well you couldn't i could very well be the
greatest
interviewer of all time you remember this is the adam friedland show it's not
the adam and nick show
and it's certainly not come town yeah i've been trying to write monologue stuff
write me a goddamn
monologue it's just that the news isn't funny it's been over a year since you've
written anything
there must be something i look and i look and i look well look harder okay all
right

and my suit and
you think it's like strokes vibes kind of now that you mention it yeah hell
yeah it's pretty cool
that's yeah it's glad i was a positive influence maybe i remember i go to
borders bookstore with my
grandma and look at spin magazine and just see pictures of y'all boys and be
like i just can't wait to get
pussy one day these guys are the coolest so first question have you ever gotten
pussy before
um it's so embarrassing i just wanted to beat you no no no oh oh wow
wow what's it like look at this meticulous preparation don't read it dude it's
embarrassing damn
you ever um like serial killer preparation yeah i was like his penis 14 inches
six foot two
um what's it like okay so what is that what are you reading it's just excerpts
from another interview
i didn't even know what it was um i need a cigarette though this is a cool i
remember when the band
like first came out there was like this legend about boarding school like new york
city blue blood kind
of lads but you know you met them in new york right yeah nicolai was friends
with since we were kids
i think one i got sent to boarding school when i was kind of like
the fuck up where is it switzerland yeah were there like war criminals kids at
that school
probably i mean i was you know i think i was the only kid there without a trust
fund probably it was
like it was wild but i wasn't friends with him but at the time albert had also
gone there for like
six months did kim jong-un go to that boarding school i don't think so i think
he went to switzerland
i think the old man sent him off to probably your school you're probably
roommates no oh my god no i
no i had a korean roommate but no it wasn't him it's probably he listened to
end of the road like
a thousand five hundred times you hated that oh yeah really that song yeah
apparently kim jong-un got
addicted to emmentaler cheese when he was in switzerland and he'd have it like
sent to north korea
and he got ate so much cheese it almost killed him he got gout oh wow yeah
right like
so i was like in adolescence when you know your first two albums came out right
i was like a little
born but like your contemporaries in that era it was corn you know or like limp
biscuit were you at the
grammys with those freaks we read something where we lost who'd you lose to
corn the better man won
let's be honest no it wasn't it wasn't corn i would have bowed down i mean i
you know i don't know i
you like corn i wanted to love i loved a lot about it but maybe musically
sometimes i had problems with
it you know what i mean i wanted like something yeah because it sounds like
hard i like that one song
that's like you know that one the corn freak freak on the oh is good okay
whenever i hear that music i
think of a guy in afghanistan like sure during the war you know it's post 9 11.
he's listening to there
is that clip of that guy being like i listen to let the bodies hit the floor
while i'm in kabul
kind of a nightmare no what the war or the music the juxtaposition the juxtaposition
makes sense to me
because labs like me were listening like upset you know sometimes you just want
so you're pro iraq war
defending freedom at all costs no um that was a crap war in my opinion
okay that's not a controversial i just want to make it clear colin powell
shouldn't have lied at the
u.n i mean he said that a lot of people aren't willing to say this but they you
know where were the
weapons of mass destruction i mean if you said that in 2003 you'd get like
fired from the new york times
and stuff but now it's fine yeah now they're defending other there's a new lie
to defend yeah yeah what's
your favorite war my favorite yeah um my favorite war i think world war ii fire
is not like the study of it but yeah just at least from the american
perspective it was like you know we
tried to stay out of it and then yeah eventually i feel like people thought you
know the world was
going to be taken over by the nazis or you know america california was going to
be invaded by japan so
that was at least understandable yeah and then of course it built a war machine
that u.s civil
so sick
what side would you have been on um you're pretty progressive uh guy politics
uh i mean i i would like
to pretend t
