Stavvy's World #116 - Adam Ray | Full Episode

Welcome everybody to Stavi's World, 904-800-STAV.
Call in, we'll solve all your problems.
We have returned to beautiful Los Angeles.
We are here doing the sunny L.A. Hollywood Halkia series,
where I flew Eldis out, ripped him from his family,
on short notice, so that we could get a couple of our favorites
that we don't get to see in New York.
And we're continuing that today with our buddy Adam Ray.
My man.
Thanks for coming, dude.
God, I love a good bump.
Nice bump, dude.
Never done Coke, though.
Let me just get that out of the way.
Never done Coke.
Yeah.
People keep asking me at shows, because, you know, like yourself.
Why?
I think it's just high energy on stage.
Not so, but I'm always like Coke energy.
Right.
I'm always like, I feel like, you know, eight Capri Suns in an hour energy.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I also don't know what full, I mean, I've only been around a few people
ever
that I could tell they were on, like full on.
And who were they?
Let's name names.
And, oops, that was the full name.
I tried to come up with a joke name at the end there.
We'll bleep, we'll bleep.
And Jeff Samsonite.
Okay.
That's the real guy.
The guy who fucking started the luggage company.
You got it.
Wow.
The heir to the Samsonite luggage company.
Huge Coke head.
What do you think all those briefcases were for?
Minch?
Dental dams?
Nope.
Coke.
No cocaine for young Adam Ray, huh?
Yeah.
Nothing.
No coke, but I love a good, I mean, dude, I, this past week was a lot of
drinking.
Right, and it's February.
And so, you know, this past week.
Yeah, so it's Black History Month, yeah.
So, I tried to, uh.
This past February, you, February, you had a great time.
So, yeah, you were up to some cool stuff this past week.
I was.
I was, man.
All the stuff, man.
Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day.
President's Day.
President's Day.
Martin Luther King.
Martin Luther King Day.
No, that's January.
That's January.
Which feels like a Feb month, though.
And not because of the Black History thing.
Yeah.
It just feels like, uh.
There are probably some holidays that get lost in the shuffle like that.
Well, maybe that's why, you know, I've had it.
You hear a lot of complaining, Black History Month's the shortest month.
That's why we were going with that.
Why is it still a holiday?
I was like, where's he going with this?
MLK Day, you could kind of argue, should count towards Black History Month.
Yes.
Pretty big one.
You know, you get an extra one.
They should make it the last day of January, so it's one continuous.
I'd be okay with that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Although, it is nice to have that.
It is funny because you think like, oh, MLK Day was created to honor an
American hero.
And it turns out, like, a lot of the times it's just like, the people who have
great jobs already.
Like, it's like a lot of rich people who work at fucking Google.
Now they get to, ooh, maybe we'll go skiing.
We have that Monday off.
It's like fucking, you know, it's turned into just sort of, because only good
ass companies, like fewer and fewer people get every holiday.
I guess the federal government gets it off.
They get all, yeah.
I mean, look, we don't take Hanukkah off.
And I'm speaking for most Jews.
All right, let's relax.
You get a lot of holidays.
You get a lot of holidays.
No, no, no.
That I would not, I would not go, Jews don't get enough holidays.
Let me finish my Hebrew rant.
My Hanukkah hostility.
If there's one group that can't really talk about fucking holidays, I think it's
you, all right?
Can we just get one Sukkot off?
Everyone's like, and this is the marker where I turned it off.
Is Sukkot the one, which one's Jewish Halloween?
Don't even, you don't have to do this.
Which one's Jewish Halloween?
Jewish Halloween is Purim.
Purim.
That sounds fun.
I love that I knew what you meant.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Also, Jewish Halloween sounds better than Purim.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jewish Halloween.
But we, Passover's probably the most fun because it's the, it's the most, that's
just really like a, you know, there's a story and there's a lot of symbolism,
but it's really like a, let's have a fucking party.
Yeah.
There's different versions.
There's the sit down, go through the, the, you know, the story and there's, you
know, kids do a part and it's all this, you know, and it takes four hours.
Or there's the, let's do the abridged.
It's a table read.
Yeah, it's a, it's a cold read.
We might as well read season four, episode six from Entourage.
Yeah.
And just have one guy go, hey turtle, why aren't you getting any more pussy
tonight?
What?
Do you think Jesus had a turtle?
Which one of the 12 apostles was turtle?
You know, was there, look up the names of the told, the TV's off, eldest.
You fucking idiot.
You idiot, dude.
You're embarrassing me in front of Adam, eldest.
What are you doing, man?
I swear to God.
I blew you all the way out here on Southwest C Group just so you can fuck up
the tube.
That's his fault.
I told him to set an alarm to check in.
It's not my fault he got C Group.
Bro, and if you get into C Group, you might as well just sign up for Narnia.com
and make a profile.
Cause you are now a member of the bottom of the barrel crew.
It's tough.
C Group is wild, dude.
C Group's tough to get by, especially as a fat man.
Have you ever had somebody massage your spot where you're like C-98 and they
come up and they're like,
"Hey, are you C-95 or C-96?"
And you're like, "Hey, Doug, we're both sitting on the fucking wing, man.
What are you doing right now?"
Yeah, yeah.
At the end, it's like, look, it's a middle seat, man.
It's a middle seat or maybe not even, or you're standby for the next flight.
Right, right, right.
Thank God I'm not.
Thank God.
I'm out of Southwest, thank the Lord.
I've, it's now a Burbank to AZ if JSX is too much or unavailable.
Because it still is so easy.
Or Burbank to Vegas, it's, you know, 40 minutes and it's just, there's 90
flights a day.
Actually, that's not true yet.
Cause we definitely actually did fly Southwest on a lot of weird regional.
Yes.
Detroit to Dallas or some weird shit.
You know what I mean?
It was one of my first jokes.
I talked about buying a airplane ticket while I was super baked.
It was probably my second year into smoking weed.
Nice, dude.
And first year in the stand-up.
Four years old.
How old are you?
Four years old.
And dad blew it on my face and said, I'll see you when you're 22.
And not a joke.
And no, and he goes, I go, I got it.
Cause it was a confirmation code.
I wish she was like, shake.
I'm gonna read back to you.
B as in boy.
K as in kaleidoscope.
P as in Peter.
Read it back to me.
All right.
B as in.
That's what I would do with the joke.
Yeah.
That's way more laughter than it would get.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I go K as in the Ku Klux Klan.
Nice.
And then I go, and P as in pneumonia.
And then that would get a decent laugh.
Sure.
And then, and then I would say, I go, I got so baked that I bought a round trip
ticket
from LAX to Burbank.
There we go.
There we go.
And then I didn't know that you couldn't do a regional joke outside of LA.
So I went to some festival in Utah and did it.
And I remember being like, I'm gonna close with this.
This is it.
I'm only doing seven.
It's my first fest, but I'm a year in.
Dude, festival a year in.
Okay.
Comedy festivals, AKA pyramid scheme.
Like they just, they would charge you to fucking.
Oh, I don't think I made any money.
To apply.
I think I got a hotel for four days and, but no drinks for free.
And if they put you up.
Shout out to Keith Stubbs and the Rocky Mountain Laugh-Off.
2000, 2007.
Yeah, they put you up.
Wow.
The Rocky Mountain Laugh-Off, dude.
Yeah.
Stop flexing on us, dude.
I bring you here, you fucking, just fucking brag right in front of my face.
I was also on the season premiere of According to Jim in 2007.
Oh, who'd you play in that?
The Waterboy.
Nice.
We dropped two bottles of sparklets during the live taping.
It's delayed things for 45 minutes.
I had to walk in with two things on my shoulders and I walked in and I had to
go, "Hey Jim."
Boy, I was like a good Christian boy.
Yeah.
Jim Belushi was trying to get Courtney Thorne-Smith.
He was writing like sexy letters to her from me because their marriage was in
shambles.
Right.
In a sitcom relationship.
Yeah, she was hot too.
She was.
She was coming from Melrose Place right into Belushi's pants.
Wow.
And so, yeah.
And so, and that's, by the way, was on the air for eight years.
Belushi had a nice little check off that.
Nice run, dude.
And he, I remember I was walking up when I left real quick and I was like, "Jim,
thanks man.
This is my first TV gig.
Thanks for being cool."
He's smoking a Stogie because I had like knocked on his door.
And in my head I was like, "I'm just going to go say thanks for being cool, man."
And knock on the door.
By the way, like four times because it just didn't open.
Should have just taken the hint.
Hey, he doesn't want to talk to the guest star, man.
Opened the door and he goes, "Huh?"
And somebody's on the phone.
I go, "Hey, thanks for making my first day great, man."
He goes, "All right."
I'm not a dick, just not, you know, in my head I'm like, you'll invite me in
for a cognac.
Of course.
We'll talk about John.
Yeah.
Hey, Jim.
Want to come in?
I'm sure this has never happened to you.
But I'm a young comedian who wants to talk about your more talented dead
brother.
Would you like to do that?
That's fucking awesome, dude.
There's still a couple of Chewy bars from Crafty if you're looking to tie one
off.
Wait, no.
So I dropped.
I had to walk in.
Great career, though.
He's been in...
Curly Sue?
I loved him in fucking Man...
No, no.
Thief.
He's so good in Thief.
Have you ever seen it?
Michael Mann?
No.
Early Michael Mann.
Awesome.
James Caan is playing in Thief.
Dude, it's a great movie.
Okay, cool.
If you like Michael Mann, you'd like it.
And Belushi's in there.
Yeah, Belushi's great.
Michael Mann's great.
Didn't Michael Mann do the new Turtles?
No.
No, that was Michael Bay.
Yeah.
How often does that happen?
Michael Bay and Michael Mann?
Yeah.
Constantly confused?
Michael Mann, Michael Bay.
I'm going to host that show.
Michael or Michael?
We take all...
All right, real quick game.
Quick.
You can rank who you think the most famous Michaels are.
I want five.
In no particular order.
Give me five of the most famous Michaels.
Jackson, Jordan, right off the bat.
Great.
In one and two.
Yeah, you can rank those.
Still might be Tyson.
Wow.
Especially after his impressive...
He's in the zeitgeist that now happened, you know, at this point, three months
ago,
four months ago, something like that.
But it's still hanging on here in February.
It's still on the tip of everyone's lips.
I heard he's going to fight Orlando Jones, the old seven-up guy.
Isn't that his name?
Yeah.
I believe so, yes.
Okay, that's three mics right off the fucking bat.
Could throw a few your way if you're strapped for time.
Yeah, who else?
Yeah.
I'm trying to think of actors.
Keaton.
Keaton.
Maybe, but I mean...
I mean, these are not...
It was a big drop-off.
In terms...
And I love Michael Keaton, but these are three of the most famous guys of all
time.
It doesn't sound like you do, because you're not willing to put them on a list
of five mics.
Are we talking about who we like, or who we think is the most famous?
You're right.
I said top five mics of all time.
All right.
Is Rapaport it?
No.
Rapaport.
Okay, Keaton before Rapaport.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the name of my memoir, actually.
Keaton before Rapaport.
Michael McDonald.
Yeah.
Bolton.
Bolton.
Wow.
I'd go McDonald before Bolton.
Yeah.
Which is the follow-up to Keaton before Rapaport.
But Bolton had a higher peak, maybe.
This is awesome podcasting.
And I love it, by the way.
I'm not saying that to change.
Sorry if I took us down a road that is a little dusty, but...
I want to be very clear.
I am going to keep us on this road.
Okay, great.
Because now I need to know.
And by the way, don't look it up, Aldous.
We're going to do this the old
