time for the
thursday afternoon just before friday monday morning podcast and i'm just
checking in on you
i started to spit that's why i do a little fucking lizard thing there with my
tongue
um you know the deal if i'm on camera it's not my typical narcissist look at me
shit it means i have
a very special guest and today is no different like all the other days when i
have i would say
it's no different like it's special but no this is it uh this guy's absolutely
fucking hilarious
he's been killing it as a comedian i did a uh a roast with him a long time ago
uh for david
ortiz he played a yankee fan he was amazing and since then he's been killing it
he's doing this
dr phil character it's been blowing up he's got a new special here we go
everybody the one and only
adam ray adam ray everybody what's going on billy how are you i'm doing great
man all right first
let's get it out of the way you got a new special what's the name where's it at
it's called adam ray
dr phil adam ray is dr phil unleashed uh it's on netflix it features myself and
real dr phil
who would have thunk that when i called you and i tell the story all the time
when i was like all
right i think i want to do i sent uh bill burr a voice note and i was like i i
think i want to do
this like weird late night show where i'm dressing up as dr phil i don't know
what it looks like i do a
monologue i do some some sketches you come out we chat we bullshit you couldn't
have been quicker
to be like dude fucking yes make fun of my anger issues let's fucking do it
which gave me so much
juice to actually follow through because i think you know i don't know if you
can attest to this but
anytime you are throwing a big dart for just a new project you know you're
meeting yourself with some
you know at least for me i was considering like oh fuck i'm gonna do it at the
store where
i feel comfy but now i'm gonna step out of my comfort zone because comics might
judge or the
staff is gonna be like what is he doing it's not stand-up and you being so
pumped washed all that
away so god bless you for that plus there's so much shit now that isn't stand-up
like there was like
the uh the roast battle yes the uh the the the fucking make fun of the open micers
kill tony yeah
yeah yeah kill tony show started there at the end of the day it sounded fun and
i was like i want to
fucking do it and we sold it out in uh 20 minutes because of you and it was so
fun and uh dude look
at all those shows both roast battle blew up yeah kill tony blew up yeah and
now you yeah and so who
would have thought though literally a little over a year later from that
episode when we were just
fucking around that then real phil comes on so it's on netflix check it out
what's it dr phil unleashed
is what we called it yeah well you know what's funny is when uh i first started
watching stand-up in
like the late 70s oh wow there was so much shit like what's happening now oh
really like yeah you
could go on stage and basically do whatever you gotta remember like that uncle
milty milton burroughs
spent 90 of his his professional life in a dress he was in drag right and and
and you know they said
anything yeah the whole country loved him whatever and then somewhere in the 80s
doing a character
became hacky and then by the 90s it got to the point like purists were like you
know if you even
had to move you know but it would just be like you know so and so dude he just
stands there and does
this is jokes and he's killing that is stand up comedy you're like what's his
face in no country
for old men where he didn't blink when he was playing the serial killer it's
like if you just
stand there and don't move a muscle why did the chicken cross the road yeah it
got all the way to
there and then up until when when did it shift again alternative comedy
alternative comedy scene
which a lot of people sort of had a negative view toward towards the end
including myself where i was
just like because they were carrying themselves like they were all these
brilliant people but what
and that they were better than club comics right club comics started that scene
right that's what they
didn't know so um by the time like i would say like the early 90s um stand-up
had become so
like uh i don't know it was just sort of like this is what comedy is and fuck
all other comedy
and these great comics that that wanted to do other stuff felt to contain right
so they just started a
room where you could just kind of do a bunch of other shit yeah and that's what
started the alt scene
it was just like any other scene where it started it was exciting it was great
and then it plateaued
and then it became walmart and then and then it just tanks so like like i feel
like uh
you know certain like right now there's certain stand-up scenes that that are
have now become walmart
yeah even though they think they're fucking cutting edge and dangerous as we
all fucking do it's like
no you guys are kind of mainstream or whatever and then then it just sort of
like people just it's
like music they just get like you know grunge is here oh this is gonna be here
forever nope gone
hair metal gone yeah so it kind of works like that that's what's great about
the comedy store too is
that it does i like that i started the show there because it does feel comfy
and familiar and does
feel like i'm not doing it like putting on like a largo a place i don't go to a
lot or just a place
that might feel more appropriate for like a a different show like i like that
it's it took off
there and is uh adding you know just adding another layer to the store and i
want to add a layer to dr phil
please because i always felt he looked like a corrupt cop and i always thought
that he would
have that you know back in the day movie those cop movies he would always have
like he'd have like a
taped up pistol for a murder or just like a plant like drugs or whatever yeah
and that's what i would
say about him that he looked like he you know planted a knife on a puerto rican
that he shouldn't
put him in the shot and they let him walk the quote the blue coat of silence
and then he became a
therapist oh he's a decoy yeah yeah no there there is a great like somebody
pitches to me like did you
see the weird al movie that roku did oh it was amazing so that with like dr phil
so showing like
young phil being in a class in a suit peer mediating between like kids right oh
yeah you know with like a
but a young kid like getting to see a five-year-old being like what you guys
gotta do
is start sharing your vegetables at the like whatever it is and then seeing him
i mean dude that scene with like tom lennon just go the other way with it
have him be this fucking guy like robbing liquor stores and do and then
realizing that this is not
the way i need to learn how to get along with people because then he's sort of
dr phil the whole
fucking time yeah we we're creating it right now i think so okay real time let's
pitch it i would
have a production company um there has to be a moment in his life in his origin
story where he
first notices he's starting to lose his hair and he's devastated as a bald man
what's that like this
might be you can't believe it you're just going like oh my god i'm one of those
guys wow and then
one day you embrace it and you shave your head and then you get to play in all
the movies what you
really are which is i'm a fucking asshole wow and up until then when i just
when i had the hair i
i couldn't get arrested as an asshole but i could be oh shit oh oh yokey yokey
and it's just not who
i was well you did no but they had yeah i was they had enough of those guys i
was in the redhead drawer
see all of all there's all these these races sexuality and all that shit where
they talk about
hollywood like they stop with their shit going like you know as a gay man but
blah blah blah blah they
go like that but they don't understand that even like white people that they
like dude you you back
in the 90s that you would like with those glasses yeah if that was your fucking
headshot you're you're
the smart guy you could be a scientist you could be a guy i'm behind the
computer you white lab coat
yeah white lab coat i'm in the redhead drawer which is i'm the guy getting
bullied i'm the one going
okay fawns like that was that and then if if you had uh like the jet black hair
with the square jaw
you got the girl and you got the gun that was just that was it that was how it
fucking worked
straying from that that's how it worked that's how it worked but then people
started
writing their own shit like um what's the guy's name there from uh the fast and
the furious
how he got discovered vin diesel yeah he got discovered he he wrote a short
and i guess spielberg saw him and then put him in saving private ryan spielberg
discovered vin
diesel hey i can we get a google on this okay yeah i did he saw him in well he
saw him in a short
i think there's a member and then he put him in it's so funny because like he
put him in saving
private ryan and there was nobody like him and like uh like the way he looked
the way he sounded
and everything and he was so fucking great in that movie yeah um we're not
talking about barry pepper
wasn't he also in barry pepper was in the sniper yeah we're gonna go through
the whole thing matt
damon they found him tom hanks so good tom hanks i'm watching one i'm watching
the coen brother movie
he did uh lady killers i started so good i yes it's under it's an underrated hanks
movie 100 percent
it just it he's just done too much shit that it just uh you can't they can't
all be i don't know
critically acclaimed but like no and i and i also feel like he really went for
it yes that weird laugh
that he does yeah i was kind of like no because people told me like you know it's
a coen brother
movie they're all great i don't know this one isn't their best one so i was
like all right so i had like
no expectations and i was just sitting there i'm like an hour in still waiting
for it to be not that
good i'm like i'm fucking enjoying the shit out of this yeah why wouldn't you
yeah also hanks like
it's one of the few times he did you know i think he played walt disney in the
banks movie and then
gump but like that's his that's to me his like where he you know yeah tried a
character and really
like jumped into something different you know catch me if you can he tried
something too yeah try to do
a little boston accent i'm forgiven of that how do you feel when people try to
put on the boston accent
i don't have a problem with it yeah because what it is is like the thing about
it is is if you're not
from somewhere you have to do it a hundred percent you have to do it like
better than the people that
do it right for people to actually give it up right because i remember going to
fargo north dakota
they're like you know you know they've all we don't talk like that they didn't
say it like that but
it's kind of like all right but don't you kind of yeah yeah aren't you kind of
like fucking it's just
look it wasn't that flattering what's the seattle accent when you were up there
for your special and
you spent that was probably the most time you spent there right there's not a
there's not a
seattle accent but i want to see if you picked up from your observations um
because people always
say to me they're like you don't have an accent or what like or they go seattle
is like a legit
city where it's like you have the hipster transitioning area capitol hill yeah
then you have down
near the wharf you have your tourist that's your sort of time square yeah so
around there you have
your junkies where it's shady you get scared and then i haven't found it oh
yeah then you have like
your your your malibu where bill gates and mercer island bellevue yeah zillow
guy lives
right yeah yeah and then yeah russell wilson had a house over there yeah and
then you got some cool
college sports i love seattle you do i love se
