Anyway, I think Bill Burr saved my life at the Hollywood Bowl.
What are you talking about?
I did like seven minutes and I left.
Hi, Bill.
Bill.
Oh, hi, Bill.
Recruiter!
Burr.
I flew over from L.A. from Australia,
and the day we arrived was Dave Chappelle and friends at the Hollywood Bowl.
I'm never going to forget that.
I am never going to forget.
Thank you to Dave Chappelle if I didn't say it already.
I know I said it to him directly, but Jesus Christ.
I have to say it on the podcast.
Like, I will never fucking forget the level of artists that I've seen on that
fucking stage
to be standing there was just surreal.
Anyway, before jumping in the Uber to go to the bowl, I ate one gummy, just one.
Well, that all depends on how many milligrams it was.
Night was going well, felt a little buzzed.
My girlfriend, now fiancé, congratulations, and I found our seats
and started to enjoy Jeff Ross doing his thing.
Everything was going well until the sun went down.
The gummy is obviously nocturnal, and his little demon ass woke the fuck up.
Oh, boy.
Feeling overwhelmed with paranoia.
You can't.
You can't give in to it, man.
You got to ride it out.
You got to ride it out and just be like,
of course I'm paranoid.
I ate marijuana.
That's it.
That's what this is.
There's nothing really to fear here.
Okay, something, you know,
other than the lunatic who charged the stage.
All right, I'm going to continue.
I asked my girlfriend to get me a Coke and a water.
Big mistake.
She must have been gone for 10 minutes,
and boy, oh, boy, did it feel like an hour to me.
Oh, my God.
Dude, you didn't eat a gummy.
You ate gummies, or you ate something that was like in the 30 to 50 range,
I would guess.
I started to panic, thinking something has happened to her.
I ran to the drink lines and could not find her.
Oh, dude, are you new to this shit?
Just sit there and laugh about how scared you are.
Whenever I would get like that, I just would just,
I would think of fucking Shaggy on Scooby-Doo.
And I like when he wouldn't say,
whoa, he'd say like before it.
Like, whoa.
That's what I would think.
When I would start freaking out,
if I ate something and I thought I had reached the top floor,
only to realize that I was only halfway up,
that's what I would always do to keep myself calm.
I would just think of Shaggy,
and I would just go like, whoa.
And it would just make me laugh.
And I'm like, all right.
Because it's really not about how high you're going to go.
It's really about you need to feel that initial descent.
And you're like, all right, I survived.
I made it all the way to the top,
and now we're going back down again.
Even if you're 1,000 fucking feet in the air,
you know that now you're at 980,
and you survived 1,000, and then you're fine.
So it's the way up that's fucking scary, I find.
Anyway, I said she must have been gone for 10 minutes,
and boy, oh, boy, did it feel like an hour to me.
I started panicking.
I started panicking, thinking something has happened to her.
So I ran to the drink lines and could not find her.
I ran to the security and got them all looking for her.
I was convinced something had happened to her.
After causing such a ruckus,
I returned to my seat to find her sitting there shaking her head.
Oh, God, I've been there.
By the time I explained the shenanigans to my girl,
my girlfriend, they began to announce the next guest.
You, seeing the moon man head strut across the stage,
brought me such joy and excitement,
and took me right out of the paranoid state I was in.
Turned out to be the greatest night of the trip,
meaning the vacation.
Second to proposing to my fiancé at Disneyland.
Good for you.
What ride were you on?
Close second.
Um, oh, thanks for saving the day and go fuck yourself.
Oh, all right, man.
I've been there.
I've been there.
That happened to me earlier this year.
I thought I was taking 10, which I can handle,
and I accidentally, you know,
I didn't talk to the person who gave them to me,
and I think I had at least 40, if not 50,
and I was sitting,
I was in a chair that I wanted to get up out of for two hours
and just could not figure out how to do it.
If I just stood up,
it would have been fine,
but I was just like,
my head felt like a magnet.
You know what I mean?
When there's another magnet close by,
and they're opposite or the same charge,
so they're like pushing each other away.
That's what,
it felt like that was inside my head.
Um,
