Time Text
Alright, welcome to Ash Wednesday.
We haven't done one of these in a while, but really excited to have my guests on.
First, I should mention, not an official sponsor or anything to the show, but if you go to cigarsdaily.com, enter in the promo code Crowdery, you get 15% off this Oliva Milano.
It's a smaller cigar, and they sell them in boxes of 10.
So, just a buddy of mine, good guy, he's really nice, helped me actually after the surgery with some stuff.
Cigarsdaily.com, enter in the promo code.
Not a sponsor.
YouTube.
And we have here, really excited actually.
I've been watching him for a long time.
I watched one of his sets, gosh I want to say back in, might have been 96 at the Just for Laughs in Montreal.
So I grew up watching him and really admiring a lot of his stand-up.
And then Dave is friends with him.
You can listen to his podcast, Bruniverse.
And then his special, which is killing it on YouTube.
Millions of plays.
Someone had to say it.
I think I hit all the plugs.
Jim Brewer.
How you doing, brother?
I'm good, man.
Thanks for having me.
Oh, I'm glad to have you.
Yeah, I know Dave had been on your show.
Yeah.
And like I told you, I grew up watching.
Was it 96 or 97?
You must have done the Just for Laughs at that point.
Yeah, I think I did 96.
Maybe 96, 97.
I want to say Kevin Jaynes might have been the host.
That makes sense.
Yeah, but I remember seeing him before he got King of Queens, and I watched the set that got Ray Romano his show.
I remember he used to scout at the Just for Laughs.
That was 98, right?
I don't know which year it was, but... No, it was before that.
The only reason I know that, Dave, is because I was in New York, and I was doing the comic strip, and I used to have to follow Ray Romano.
And so Ray would go out, and I had a show they were developing, and I'll never forget, I went up to Ray.
I'm like, Ray, well, you know, I need a big-time writer, and you're a materials kid.
If you'd like to be the writer.
He went, I kind of got this thing they're working on.
I went, yeah, good luck with that.
Good luck with that.
The biggest sitcom of the decade.
Ever.
And mine went.
It's still looking for it.
Did you offer Larry David to shine your shoes?
Was that for you and Chappelle?
Was that for you and Chappelle, the sitcom?
No, it was before that.
It was actually before that.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, it was right before, so that was like 94-ish.
Okay.
And for people who are, and I don't think a lot of them are, but maybe they're not as intensely familiar with you, like obviously stand-up comedy, people have probably seen you, right, in Half-Baked and seen your stuff on TV, but now you've been in the news a little bit lately just for stances that are, seeing someone as controversial, you know, chose to do shows where they didn't have the vaccine deal, and then next thing you know, you're in the news, which, you're not a news guy.
No, I'm not a news guy at all.
Matter of fact, but this is why I'm glad I'm at a point in life where I don't check messages.
If I make a video I put up, I don't.
When I made that video and I said, I'm not performing any venues that forced the Vax card.
And that came from fans.
There were already gigs booked.
Right.
And then the venue said, no, you got to show up your card.
And all I did was make my video.
I mentioned, you know, morals.
I believe in this.
I've got in my life this thing I'd rather play.
Whatever I said.
And then I just left it.
And then I had no clue it was going to turn into what it turned into.
I had zero clue.
What was the fallout like?
I'm sure you got a lot of supporters, but obviously on the flip side.
Yes.
I won't mention the name.
Huge comedian calls me soon as I'm done with the video.
And I knew right away, I'm like, you know what?
I'm going to record this.
Oh, man.
Was it Bilber?
He's not going to.
Dude!
You can't not do shows with the f***ing vaccine!
Are you out of your f***ing mind?
Dude!
I know what you're thinking!
I don't want people to... Oh my god!
Right?
I'm sorry, we'll just bleep that.
No, no, no.
I didn't say it was.
I didn't say it was.
Of course you didn't.
I'm more impressed by your impression.
I had Mick DiPaolo call me furious because we had him on a podcast one time and that was the same show on YouTube where I did Bob Ross painting Muhammad.
Yeah.
And I just get a call, Nick DiPaolo.
I'm like, okay, I was driving.
I got to put it down.
And then I get a second call, Nick DiPaolo.
And I never hear from him.
He's a kind of a recluse.
And I pick up and say, are you out of your f***ing mind?
You got me next to Mohammed on the... And he's just going nuts.
I'm like, Nick DiPaolo is nervous about this.
And it's just, it's weird what gets people uncomfortable.
That would be one of the things that should... Yeah, it makes sense.
Yes.
I mean, I don't want to be... I don't want to stick in the mud.
He was correct.
I didn't...
Yeah, so, yeah.
I got a call from someone, and I gotta say, I was a little shocked that where they were coming from, and I just held my stance.
I'm like, no man, I'm telling you.
And then we got a little intense with the conversation.
He was talking about vaccines.
I'm like, hey man, not for nothing, but I know for a fact, fact, Uh, some people very close to my life that have been affected.
Of course.
Not from what just came out, but from the past.
Right.
We're talking about paralyzed at five years old, and it took a year and a half, too.
So why don't you tell them that's all nonsense?
And why don't you tell this kid?
Yes, there was feedback.
I lost some gigs that I had.
I also had the special.
Somebody had to say it.
It was going to air on a platform where Dude, my following at the time was like 40, 50.
I don't know how to download stuff.
I just want to press... I want to see Jim's special.
Hit here... Wait, did you just say you don't know how to download things?
I do, Steve!
But it's just... I don't want to!
It takes a minute.
It does take a while.
It's annoying!
Especially if it's in the cloud.
I don't fully understand it.
Yeah, so then the special was dropped.
Yeah.
And so whatever.
So yes, but I don't care.
Was the special dropped from an actual streaming service?
but it was a special drop from an actual streaming service?
Yes.
Yes.
Can you say which one or no?
I honestly don't.
You don't know if you can?
The Bill Burr streaming service?
It doesn't matter.
Oh it doesn't matter?
I'm just wondering because there's been a few instances of that now where I find it so ridiculous.
It doesn't matter.
Like Andrew Schultz?
Yeah, well he bought his back.
He bought his back, yeah.
Where was it?
In Netflix, right?
Amazon, yeah.
Amazon, they said, we need you to cut all this stuff that involved Biden and he was like, no.
So he bought it back from Amazon and then aired it all out.
Which is so funny because he's a comedy witch hunt.
I mean, Biden, like for crying out loud, regardless of politics, you'd think people would admit, okay, this is fodder for comedy.
It was all the cruelty if he got lost in his front yard.
You know what I mean?
Stuff like that.
The fact that you can't even... this is the biggest comedy gold in history is this administration.
How are you not saying anything?
And then if you say something, how do you not realize we are in the middle of You will not speak of the following peoples!
And for crying out loud, half the Daily Show dined out in George W. Bush pronouncing it nuclear for years.
Exactly!
You have a guy who shit his pants with the Pope!
Mirka!
Mirka!
I get it.
I get it too, but nobody is allowed to touch this administration.
You will not even discuss the Vice President.
Former Vice President.
Respect the office.
Former Vice.
No, even her!
Okay, you brought that up, your audience.
So, because some people are watching right now, and Dave had to do that too, by the way, with the vaccine.
You had to cancel some shows.
Yeah, a couple of them.
It was just, I didn't stop traveling.
And I'm a huge germaphobe.
I grew up, we talked about that.
It's like my mom was a nurse and I came from, you know, with my dad and everything, but it didn't make sense.
So I was like, well, until you make it make sense as a giant germaphobe, I was like, I'm just going to keep going.
So I guess I'm just going to buy a germaphobe in Detroit.
Yeah.
And Harlem.
I was going from Detroit to Harlem, not afraid of.
Do you know how weird that is?
Every comfort zone.
Dude, I would just get on planes and it'd be like camera crews going to report and me getting bumped to first class because no one was on the planes.
Nobody was on the planes.
Yeah, and I was like, this is great.
I hope nobody ever goes out again.
Yeah.
It's $90.
It was amazing.
Really, then you saw fuel price.
I mean, we started here at this, to give you an idea, here, I came in with the employees and I said, look, Just so you know, if you want to stay home, that's fine.
They were doing the quarantine deal.
I said, if you want to stay home, that's fine.
I'll pay for as long as I can.
I'm not going to.
I'm going to show up if I need to pare down the show.
And I said, and by the way, we're going to, we're going to be doing two a days.
So we did the quarantine month.
And then I went to two shows a day because I knew people were locked up at home.
Right.
And the numbers that we saw during that time, that was kind of the shift with this company.
We went from maybe having 30, 40,000 people watching live at that, you know, any given second.
To 150, because people were locked in at home.
And it's just, to me, I kind of thought, like, wow, I'm sort of surprised that I'm one of the few people doing this, when big names in the industry you would think would understand their job is to serve people, not themselves.
And a lot of art becomes self-important.
But I wanted to get into, you mentioned your audience, like 40, 50, a lot of them, a lot of people are familiar with you from, like, Half-Baked.
Right.
Or sort of Stoners.
Half-Baked.
Right.
But as, like, a Christian family man, is that tough to shed a little bit like do people come up and like
Do the thing where you smoke the joint? No, no, but I will say this. I remember there was a period of my life
probably early 2000s where
I'm selling out because of half-baked And they're throwing pot on the stage and blah blah blah.
But I also found myself trying to appease an audience and ride that wave and make that money.
And that started getting very exhausting.
I can imagine.
Very exhausting.
I couldn't hold up.
Hey man, I'm not that guy.
It's a character.
Right.
At the end of the day, it was a character.
I never even listened to Grateful Dead.
Right.
I can't.
So... You just have that Northern European, the bags under your eyes, like I do.
Dude, my bags are horrible.
And then it's just some people like, oh, he must be on edibles.
It's just my genetics.
I also have heavy eyelids.
And I do have... What, did you weigh them?
How do you weigh eyelids?
I've never heard of that.
Have you heard of heavy eyelids?
Meaning, a compliment as a female will say, you have bedroom eyes.
No, I have sleepy eyes.
And I didn't realize this look, the judgment of people, until about eighth grade.
Sorry, I just realized how funny that is.
It's like such a backhanded, you have bedroom eyes.
I mean, not wife eyes.
You're very tired.
I would hear that from like older women.
I don't know what was going on.
Like, he's got bedroom eyes.
You have temporary relationship eyes.
Yes.
You have CPAP eyes.
You need to sit in an upright chair and have Vicks VapoRub every two hours.
No, okay, so you had these people coming in and you felt like you had to live up to that a little bit.
Yeah, and it was great.
I'm not gonna lie to you, it was great.
It was a great run.
I'd bring my friends on the road with me, and they were musicians, and we'd make up little pot songs, and it was awesome.
So you definitely played into it if you were writing pot songs.
Without a doubt!
I smoked my bum today!
I did mine yesterday!
That's why I live!
You went home and drank kale?
So I didn't... yeah, it definitely was... I've always been a God guy.
Right.
And I've always been... so that... and I had family and close friends coming to me going, Do you want to be the pot guy?
Like, is this the direction?
And it also had other movies, like Harold... The Coomer and... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eldon Kumar, yeah.
That was basically, hey, we want you to be in this.
I don't want to do all pot movies, man.
It's okay, we got a no-talent, Cal Penn.
We'll put him in there.
I don't know the guy, whatever.
No, no, you're nice.
You're nice, I'm not.
Yeah, no, that definitely... You're funnier than Cal Penn.
Let's just agree on that.
Oh boy, thank you.
Nicest thing anybody's ever said.
Another backhanded compliment.
Bed your minds.
You're funnier than Cal Penn.
Gallagher's got nothing on you, sir.
Although I did work with Gallagher too.
Oh, oh, Gallagher too!
The slightly smaller couch.
It's just the same thing, but in comedy clubs.
Right.
Not theaters, clubs.
You know, he went nuts, Gallagher.
He got all these patents and these inventions.
Have you ever heard him talk?
He got like 500 patents on like, I have a shower where you go in and it automatically turns on the water.
You're like, I saw that in SkyMall, Gallagher.
That's not a... He's also selling giant bowling pins to pay for those patents.
Do you want a huge couch?
Lily Tomlin's like, maybe.
Do you have a big phone so I can be a big operator?
Okay, so people said to you, they're like, do you want to be the pot guy?
And it did resonate me.
I'm like, you know what?
Yeah, you're right.
And actually, when things really changed for me, Stand-up wise and everything was it was 2008.
I would go to this bar in town Chester, New Jersey was a little country town middle nowhere and There was a we would do dad's night out so a couple dads in town and went there with drank him hanging out and then all of a sudden a woman goes Oh, you're the famous guy in town.
And I always try to down like, ah, no, I'm just a regular.
They're like, no, you're, but you're like the drug and blue guy.
Like, I can't bring my kids to you because you're filthy.
Yeah.
And I went, what?
I got so pissed at her.
And I said, what'd you say?
I said, did you ever see me live?
Right.
She went, no, but I just, I mean, everyone knows it.
And that was a defining moment.
Instead of being mad at her, I thought, well, how many other people feel this way and think that way about me?
Really, at the end of the day, I'm a family guy.
I'm a moral guy.
I'm a guy guy.
Why do people feel and think that way about me?
Because of the movie?
Because of this and that?
And that was the moment when, you know what?
I'm doing my own thing.
And it's going to take time, but I'm going to start talking about being a family guy.
And I'm going to start showing you how I care about family, and life, and God, and morals, and stuff like that.
And that was the beginning.
It was a lot of fear-based, too.
And ironically, that's more taboo than just being the stoner comic.
I mean, there aren't many comics doing what you're talking about now.
I mean, outside of there are people that label themselves Christian comics that aren't really.
But it's more taboo to talk about family and God than it is to be like, eh, I smoked a bong.
Which is bizarre.
Well, not only that, because people immediately put you in a lump sum.
I had someone, was it last night?
Two nights ago.
Yeah, two nights ago, he came to see me at a show, old-time comic.
He's like, hey, do you mind?
He's a couple years older than me.
He came in, he talked about his horrible time in life and blah, blah, blah, and he goes, you know, you look great and the stuff you're doing is amazing.
You're not like all religious and stuff, right?
But that persona, like if you just say, nah, you know, I do believe in this, and immediately, it's like politics.
It's like any category, oh, you're this, you're out.
Like you don't even, everything's been categorized.
So there definitely was a fear in me, Steve, where I'm like, oh my God, how am I gonna, am I gonna lose this whole thing?
And that lasted all the way until Covid.
Right.
And then I started putting out little Instagram videos.
You just decided you didn't care anymore?
No, I realized, A, we don't have control of our lives, whether we think we do or don't.
Right.
You know, you can lose your child, diagnose, whatever the scenario that snaps you into reality.
Chopped up by a 14-year-old if you're Cat Williams.
Remember that?
That'll snap you back in as a reality check.
And I went, if one or two people can see things differently on a higher level, then so be it.
Because it's game time now.
Not only am I not in control, but now we're not even in control of who decides how we're going to work, where you're going to work, what we're going to take away, what we're going to censor, how we're going to control your life.
You never realized.
You knew you were a slave.
But you didn't realize you were a slave until this showed up.
And that's I'm like, Oh, wow.
Yeah, it's it's life game time.
I never thought I'd see this in my life.
But it's game time.
So feel like protect you from destiny.
And it doesn't make any sense.
Say it again, Dave, you're protecting someone from destiny from being able to do anything.
Correct.
I mean, like, it doesn't make any sense to me.
Zero sense.
Rapper?
Yes.
Yes.
Those are great lyrics.
Destiny's Child.
But that's what it was.
It's like you're going to take away anybody's ability to be able to make a living, fulfill anything, or do anything with their life when anything could happen.
And that's what I hated about it.
Based on a vaccine where my entire life, I took every vaccine because my mom wanted me to, and they all had, you know, they all worked.
You know, I do bits even in my stand-up where it's like, yeah, if polio came out and everybody had noodley legs and was FDRing all over the house, you'd be like, these don't work too well, do they?
But now people keep getting COVID and it's like, well, you could have got, maybe your one leg works.
That's pretty good.
If you got the fifth, you'd have gotten the fifth booster.
Yeah.
Maybe you just need all Greg Abbotty.
Right.
That's the deal.
Which blows my mind because there was, we had a group of friends in New Jersey, we'd do coffee every day.
And there was one guy that would always say, well, I, I've been, I get all my shots and I'm just saying I'm the only one that hasn't got it.
And he would continue to say this and I'd always just keep quiet, well guess who got it and he got it worse than anyone else.
He's four shots in, boosters and all that.
And then I would never say, so...
Right.
You know, the guy's a little weird?
And that is, yeah.
I mean, you don't want to just point to the anecdotal if it flies in the face of the empirical,
but in this case it doesn't, and you also have bodily autonomy, or at least you're supposed
And I think people just label you anti-vax if you say, I don't know that this is as effective And it's not a vaccine.
You're talking about an mRNA augmentation.
Effectively, it's not an inoculation.
They changed the definition.
And just to ask the question, and does it bother... I want you to go... I can see the wheels turning in the sleepy eyes.
Bedroom eyes if you're a female.
Doesn't it bother you that comics should be the ones at the forefront?
This is a very clearly... It's a freedom issue.
Comics used to be at the forefront, but now they're silent.
Well...
I don't care about other comics.
I realized a long time ago, me trying to appease other comedians, they're not the ones paying for my bills, they're not the ones paying to come see me.
So peers, that means nothing to me.
The cool kids club, that's a big thing.
That's their club, they can enjoy it.
They can make their phone calls to me and spew whatever they think is real.
That's your deal, brother.
That ain't mine.
But I will say this, you're incredibly respected by that community too.
So, in other words, if a big name comic called you, like I remember hearing Jim Norton just talk about, you know, what a great storyteller you were.
Pete, your name always comes up, whenever we even have someone on the show.
Even if you're not seeking their approval, but that's why I think someone like you is so important, because it's very easy for them to dismiss an up-and-comer and go, they're not one of us.
It's very clear you're at that top tier, and you're off the reservation as far as things that are permissible to say.
Well, I just go on what I feel.
What I'm observing, and from what I observed, I truly to this day feel like that was the greatest voodoo trick in human history.
There's been amazing voodoo tricks and they still continue, but I knew or I felt This has to be put out.
How is nobody touching this?
And I'll tell you why.
Fear.
Fear is the most powerful tool in the world.
That is why the mass media, Hollywood, all of them, they're all fearing.
They're like, I may lose my job.
I may not get money or I may not do this.
I may lose gigs.
I sleep a lot better at night knowing what I did rather than Uh, you know what, maybe I should... I had a huge gig lined up.
Huge gig.
Arenas.
With other... and they were like, hey man, you gotta, you gotta... and I went... I love how all of this is distilled to... Yeah, yeah.
At the end of the day, it's like, hey, you want to go to a ballgame?
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, how do you not see the lunacy in that?
Right.
How do you not see the lunacy that they brought us to?
You're a seal at a SeaWorld show.
Yes.
You want some education?
You do?
Okay.
Okay, now you can have it.
Wow.
So anyway, I'm getting off track here.
No, it's okay.
You're just hoping that instead of a seal it ends up like the killer whale in Blackfish.
Do you ever see that where the trainer is screwing with it?
And then the killer whale slowly takes the guy to the bottom and just pins him.
Well, the guy has a ponytail and deserves it.
Yes.
It was Steven Seagal.
I train orcas.
I've been doing it for 30 years.
Welcome to seagull world.
He was the orca.
Cause him a fish.
No, but it's, it's, it is, it's true.
And you're not even, before YouTube gets mad at this, because we always have to understand what their rules are, even though they're supposed to be a platform, not a publisher.
None of this is anti-vaccine.
This is you saying that people should have the right to make their decisions for their own body.
And it's crazy that that was seen as like, you were the, you know, the second coming of Hitler from some people.
I've never, I could not believe.
Grazie.
You know, and people would say, listen, my wife has had... You have to flick, sorry, he's fascinated by the lighting.
Look at the other way, this way.
This way?
No, no, I'll do it for you.
Well, I've never seen nothing like that.
Dave, you never... No, I was a drug addict.
I didn't use those lighters.
I'm not going to light it for you like... Yes, you are.
You seriously never saw a light like that?
I'm going to make you do this.
This is a power move.
That's a huge power move.
This is how I own you.
I'm too far in.
You gotta take a draw on it.
That's like John Wayne cowboy movie lighter.
Next thing you know he's gonna walk like a homo and everyone will ignore it and act like he's a badass.
I used to love that.
John Wayne walk?
I was like, how do people not realize that's so gay?
Oh John Wayne was gay.
Was he?
I think so.
Listen, Hollywood, everyone suspected Everyone's a suspect in this.
To me, everyone's on the list until I prove it.
I'm proving innocent.
Yeah, the guy said pretty progressive things for his time, and they're like, let's get rid of his airport.
Yes!
It's unreal.
The sh**iest airport that you can possibly... Yeah, it's like, I don't mind if you get rid of it just on that.
Right.
But to change the name based on the fact that he's like, I think Indians should play Indians, and you're like, it's Native American.
Right.
I think Indians should play India.
You saw the Richard Pryor piece, right?
Oh, I love that.
He's like, are you allowed to curse?
Yeah, yeah.
When he goes, John Wayne kicked ass.
John Wayne had cancer, kicked ass.
Had open heart surgery, kicked ass.
Had cancer again.
He said, get the fuck out of here.
Hey, Mike Epps take notes.
That's so much better than Mike Epps.
Get the f**k out of here, Depp.
Oh my god, Richard Pryor was hilarious.
I always wondered if he was around today and still, you know, lucid.
You always wonder, a lot of the guys who were sort of venerated as heroes, would they still have been, because back then being progressive or more liberal was seen as sort of counterculture, but today it's the opposite.
You wonder if they would have shifted with that.
Oh no, Carlin wouldn't have.
No, Dick Gregory didn't.
Dick Gregory was amazing.
I still watch him.
I still watch videos of him on Instagram and all that jazz.
I used to do a show with his nephew who toured with him until the day that he died and I mean Dick was incredible.
He didn't like, and he was like Pryor.
I don't think that would have changed at all.
No.
The times changed and he evolved with it.
Right.
And I think, and not evolved to it, he evolved with it to comment on it.
Right.
I think Pryor would have been that same way because Pryor, think about how fearless Pryor
was.
He gave away his Bill Cosby style, you know, at the time that he was kind of doing the
very clean, I want to be on Ed Sullivan sort of a thing, to go into clubs where he would
get booed and, you know, attacked for his actual, because he was introducing the street
to America that had never seen it before.
Right.
So I don't think he would be afraid to be who he is now.
Now I don't know how he would be handled.
I don't think Carlin, I would love to see what Carlin, because if you look at some of the stuff Carlin, I follow him on Instagram.
He's like 08, right, that he passed?
I think so, somewhere around there.
The things he was talking about were where the country's at.
He laid on the line back then, and it's all extremely relevant now.
Yes.
Like, really relevant.
Yeah.
It's pretty incredible.
We swam in sh**.
Yeah.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
You and I ain't in it.
I think a lot of them didn't foresee because he would say all that and then Republicans and not realize that you have this incredible, just this authoritarian left wing today.
I don't necessarily know that they If they didn't see it coming, I maintain that, honestly, the parties haven't switched.
It's just people have woken up to it.
There's always been a power grab because there have been big government Democrats.
But JFK is very different from, let's say, a Joe Biden.
Oh.
It's been infiltrated.
Yeah.
I have family that's... Well, their brains are the same.
Effectively.
If you were to carbon date it.
But that's another thing.
People just join a team.
And they're in the team.
So it's like, for instance, I have family members who are like, I'm a Democrat because in 1960, you know, our union...
1960!
But that is part of the madness of what goes on today.
It's that you have to join a team, you join the team, and you stick with the team no matter what.
Like for instance, I'm a diehard Mets fan.
So years ago, two of the Mets, I think it was Jose Reyes and one of the relief pitchers, they get in trouble for beating their wives.
A man named Jose beat his wife?
I was shocked.
If my brother did that, or my best friend did that, I'm like, dude, what the f*** is wrong with you?
Right.
She was barking.
That's when you go out and you walk away and you call me stupid?
Not if you're Dominican.
So, with that said, I found myself going, no, You don't know what she was saying to him.
He's had a rough go at it.
And their culture is different than ours.
But that's when I caught myself going, whoa!
That's the power of when you join a team, your morals will go out the window just to defend your team.
That's where we're at now, and that's a dangerous place.
It's always interesting to me, because I mentioned that, but actually one of my first managers was Dominican.
I don't want to say his name here.
And I remember having these conversations, and it's sort of, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
The progressive left, they get their d*** in a ringer where they're saying, okay, all cultures are equal and they're pro-migrant of any kind, and then they have to defend the culture that a lot of these people—and I don't just mean Islamic terrorist culture.
I mean, in South America, much more machismo, traditional gender roles, and now they're saying, what's the LGBTQAIP, like Mexican Catholic voters, and it's backfiring on them!
They didn't expect this!
Well, here, two little things.
You said culture.
Every culture is—there's multi-cultures.
You can't lump it.
Of course.
We went to Egypt last year.
Went in there, not knowing what to expect.
Simple little concept.
My wife's a diehard animal lover.
Oh, Egypt's not the place for her?
Oh, she learned the hard way.
She walked by the Nile and was like, I smell s***.
Oh, that's the Nile?
Why are they torturing that animal?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
So we're, you know, we're gonna go to the pyramids and you gotta get on the camel.
These camels clearly were like, oh, s***!
There's tourists?
We've had no tourists for two years?
I gotta carry some on my back again.
We get on these, I get on mine.
This thing gets up.
It's, it's got a, it's got a raw, I have the video.
It's raw, open wound from the top of its neck all the way down here.
What it is, I don't even know.
And there's all flies in it.
I'm like, oh, it's this guy.
So my guy, my guy's a little out of control.
And then my wife's camel gets up and they're both, they're not being good.
So if you go on a horseback ride, they're like, okay, you know, slow down.
These guys, they weren't saying, listen, camel, be nice.
They were taking sticks and like, how am I allowed to smack these things?
If any American pet lover were like, how dare you?
Hey man, this is how they do it.
Yeah.
So, you wouldn't march over here?
Like, how do you want to do that?
Right.
Are you going to march in the... I don't know.
Where's Sarah McLachlan?
Yeah, exactly.
Where's Sarah McLachlan?
That's what I'm saying.
Where is she?
They thought that Syrian refugees were going to come in and protest fair life milk with them.
In the humps of a camel?
Factory farming!
Like, what is the problem?
You mean you get more to yield?
Screw them!
The cows are assholes!
No, you're absolutely right.
It really is.
It's like, look.
And I don't want to say not all cultures are equal, meaning that inherently a culture is better, but not all cultures are the same.
And certainly here in the United States, some cultures can become a part of this melting pot, this mosaic, more effectively than others.
In other words, if you treat animals that way.
We had a place, I will tell you this, it was called Kenny Wong, where I grew up on the south shore of Montreal.
It was constantly getting health code violations because they were poisoning seagulls on the roof.
To them, it was free food.
These were first-generation migrants.
Yeah, the orange chicken, half the time it was seagull.
Venice Beach?
Yeah, well, it was called Kenny Wong, for crying out loud.
Oh, I'm sorry.
And it constantly was getting into trouble, because in their culture, it's like, well, look, make use of what you have, which also was resourceful.
But you have a bunch of angry white bitches in Canada.
Yes.
Dude, my dad used to eat possum and turtles.
My dad, right here in this country, he grew up in the 20s, 30s, and he used to tell me growing up, he'd go, I never had possum pie.
What?
Like, I hope not.
Is your dad from Lemony Snickets?
Yeah, but that's the way he... He'd be like, I want turtle soup and possum pie.
I'd be like, where did you grow...
Where were we as a country?
You're like a pet store.
Yeah, but that was survival.
It was Adrian's assistant.
And that's not that long ago.
No, they made use of what they had at that point.
And by the way, the show is Bruniverse is the podcast.
Somebody had to say it.
Somebody had to say it.
People can watch it on YouTube.
Yes.
It's killing.
Oh, yeah, I know.
It's done incredibly well.
I didn't expect it.
I was a little worried.
You have a great documentary, too, about your dad that I think people should watch.
You know what?
I should put that... You really should put that out there.
I should put it on YouTube.
Yeah.
It was... And I swear, Dave, the reason I did it was to put the light on him and the light on anyone That becomes a caretaker, because that's what it was.
It was becoming a caretaker, and it was the greatest thing I ever got to do in my whole life.
I begged God my whole life, don't leave this man alone.
Please don't leave this man alone.
There's a million stories like him.
I looked up to my dad so much because Ten brothers and sisters.
Grew up in Kentucky.
Dayton, Kentucky.
Not Dayton, Ohio.
Dayton, Kentucky.
Mom died when he was three.
Goes to World War II for three years.
All the brewers went to war.
All brewers came back.
Sure.
A little wacky.
Blessed.
He never complained, never bitched, never moaned.
Was there as a real man my whole life.
And when I bring him on the road, I knew he was dying.
I knew he was getting old.
And all I wanted to be I just wanted to be there for him and I got that opportunity and I thank God every day for it.
I got to hold him to his last breath.
It was the most incredible thing I could have ever done.
It was phenomenal.
What I loved about putting that documentary was And Steve, I didn't know your dad.
I met your dad, and there's something deeper when I meet someone.
I have a comedian in Open for me, Joe Sibb, and Joe Sibb doesn't even realize when he came to Open for me this one time, I gave him a shot, he brought his dad.
And he didn't realize, like, dude, unless they throw shit at you tonight, you're already in.
The fact that out of all the people you could have brought to the show, you brought your dad?
Well, you know what, and also, I appreciate you saying that because Dave knows this, you know, Darren, my dad, first off, he's been on the show, he's wickedly funny.
Really funny.
I always say he's like me, but more affable.
Like, everyone likes him, you know, he doesn't have the low-grade irritation that I constantly have, but he's the- It's true.
It's true, he's been, he's far more likable.
But he's been the booker on the show for a long time because we had a booker who was a booker for The View and Meredith, and bookers just kept dropping out because they were saying people are afraid to book this show.
And so I said, Dad, you're a people person, like, do you think you could?
And then, you know, he was getting these big names on.
And people on the left, that's one of their attacks is like, oh, you have your dad working for you?
I'm like, Yeah!
Isn't it great?
It's a family business.
I couldn't be more grateful.
And he's a great guy.
So it really genuinely doesn't bother me.
And I'm glad to hear that you had a relationship like that because everyone often thinks that comics are broken and a broken family life and household.
You're just funny.
Our family life was tremendous.
I had the greatest childhood in the world.
My dad never, and I always look at him because, and the documentary's called More Than Me.
I honestly don't even know where you can find it.
But I feel like I should just put it on.
Get it on YouTube!
After this, people will want to see it.
Yeah, I promise you I'll put it on YouTube.
It really is something people should see.
It helps them!
Yeah, it also shows the connection you should have with your father.
If you still have your parents, it shows how important that connection is and how you can be there for them.
So many people think it's a burden, and it's like, And also, as somebody who doesn't have their dad, you're very lucky, you know, like, if you still have your dad, seriously, thank your lucky stars, because it's something that you... It's so wonderful to have your family, and it's great that your dad books your show.
B***h, b***h, b***h. No.
No, dad.
No.
Whatever.
No, dad.
Whatever.
Why don't you go call your pops?
Oh, you can't.
You can't.
You did when you were a teenager.
Probably didn't even want you.
you all I know all I know is 22 years all I know genuinely is if your dad
would be around today he would be incredibly disappointed I know!
That was what my mom said just before she killed herself.
That's what her suicide meant.
Anyways.
It said it's all your fault.
It was a reverse Goodwill hunting.
I miss your dad because it's mainly you.
PANIC!
LAUGHS Oh damn
Agent Orange is what your dad called his shotgun.
His dad, I reached out to his dad and then his dad watched my stand-up and became a fan.
He was like, I really liked your comedy, I want you to meet... so that's how I even met him was because his dad was the booker.
If you're going through a typical Hollywood booker, I don't think I ever would have met him.
Because it was somebody who actually took the time to be like, he's right for the show.
No, he really cares, and I will say this too, I don't know if it was like this with your dad, but my dad was a very, very high-level hockey player, and he'll never talk about it.
I brag on him, and right now he's probably embarrassed if he's watching the feed.
He was on scholarship at U of M, and back then they only drafted Canadians, and Americans go to this kind of summer training camp, and he was picked for that for the New York Rangers.
But he had a dad who really discouraged him, like, chasing a hockey puck around.
So he actually just didn't lie his way, but charmed his way to the corner office at EF Hutton
and then Dean Witter and kind of left hockey by the wayside.
And I think because he could have been so good at hockey, and he was, and his dad discouraged him,
he decided that he wasn't going to push me into hockey, but whatever it was that I was passionate about,
he would be supportive of me.
And that to me is something I'm incredibly grateful for.
Steve, the moment I told my parents, because it was a defining moment,
I I was, I was, I started stand-up in 85, high school.
And I started going to open mic, eh, once in a while.
And then I wanted to be an actor.
I wanted to be in movies and acting.
And I went to community college.
And then while I was there, I'd go there and do stand-up once in a while.
But then my family moved to Florida.
My parents moved to Florida.
I think it's a law if you grow up in Florida.
Alright, we worked here 62, let's go to Florida!
Crush it for ten years and die of a stroke.
Don't use your turn signals.
Right.
And I will be dead by then.
If you stay in Michigan, the governor just kills you.
Yes!
It's best to go down south.
Toward New York.
To eat yourself.
Okay, so they moved to Florida.
So they moved to Florida, and I finally realized I have to party and blah blah blah, searching for my life.
I went, you know what?
I'm doing this.
And I was so nervous, and I just came in front of my parents.
I went, listen.
I'm doing stand-up comedy the rest of my life.
I don't know what to tell you.
My mom was like, oh my god.
My dad said, you know what?
You go do that.
You're young.
You got the passion.
This man never said more than 10 words in his whole life to me.
He goes, you go do that.
I never had that opportunity.
So you go do that.
And if you find yourself 30 years old and you didn't make it, eh, whatever, you'll find a job.
He goes, go do it.
And that's all I needed.
That's all I needed.
And that was the beginning of it.
A father is extremely powerful as a man.
Raising a child.
And now we diminish it and just sort of, we consider it the patriarchy, as though it's a bad thing.
Like, I understand if patriarchy means that women are second-class citizens, like Saudi Arabia, but patriarchy meaning that you need a strong father figure, that it can make or break somebody.
Absolutely.
We've taken beautiful things and turned them into ugly things.
That's what we've done a lot.
That's an agenda.
Yeah.
Listen, when I was dancing around the Hollywood scene, Every single executive, ABC, NBC, every single one of them, CBS.
I saw them when they walked in the room, the decision makers.
Let's just say they weren't really family men.
No.
And they really were pushing a different agenda for what I wanted to put out there.
And that's when I realized, too, this isn't just television.
This goes into magazines and everything else.
Who runs the show?
Who makes the decisions?
They're all Angry, anti-family, anti-moral, anti-faith people.
Right.
And it is staggering.
And, you know, I would tell friends and all that, and they'd be like, oh, you're just jealous.
You're just pissed because you didn't get it.
Like, no.
But you did, though.
I did.
You did.
I did it on my own.
I got everything I wanted.
You're a comedian who was on SNL, and look, that doesn't get any higher than that.
I got everything I wanted to do.
Right.
You know?
I mean, not today, but back then.
Yeah, yeah, when you're on with, yeah.
Colin and Norm.
Yeah, not today when you're next to members of the group.
Norm is amazing, by the way.
Norm is crazy.
I love your story about, okay, hold on, but I don't want to get back to, but I love your story about Norm with Chris Kattan.
Oh, can you tell that one?
Of course I can.
Okay.
For people who don't know, if you haven't seen it, he's told it before, but you may not be familiar.
Chris, I apologize now.
It's just one of those stories.
I feel bad for Chris now, but it's one of those Rod Serling.
Norm would... Norm, like I said, I got to watch all the sets at the gala at the St.
Denis Theatre.
My mom did wardrobe and costumes for the Just for Laughs.
Norm was when I decided I wanted to do stand-up comedy.
I started writing stand-up at 13 or 14, but it was because Norm did a joke, and I still remember to this day, it was 1993, maybe 94, and it was about... because everyone else was going up kind of, you know, short, tight set, right?
And then Norm went up and he did this long workaround joke.
I read in the news that this guy killed his family and chopped them up and put them in a devil bag because the devil told him to.
What if the devil just took off his mask and said, hey, it's me, Bob!
But the funny part to me was after he goes, Oh Bob, I got my family here in a duffel bag.
Oh, that's one for you, Bob. That's one for you.
And I said, what is this? You know, I didn't know what it was.
Right.
And, uh, talk about a guy who just had balls of steel.
Dude, I saw him get kicked out of the state of Iowa.
That was my favorite story.
Was it you and Attell?
No, it was me.
That was a different one.
Oh, I love that one.
The Attell one?
Oh, man.
Oh, boy, I got schooled by Attell.
Well, if you don't want to get Chris Kattan, if you don't want to get Abhishek, you can tell any Norm story you want, because he was my white whale.
He was supposed to come on the show.
I didn't know about his health problem.
Oh, okay, okay.
So whatever you want to tell.
I love all those.
All right, so the Kattan one.
There's an Iowa one where he gets kicked out.
It's pretty damn funny.
So we're doing the show, and Pamela Anderson is on, and this is like 96, 97, something like that, and we're doing a Twilight Zone sketch.
And while we're doing the Twilight, now, Chris, And again, at that time, we're all just trying to make it, and I totally understand that.
Not to diminish Chris at all, he's a huge fan of manga.
Not at all, good human being, blah blah blah.
Groundbreaking.
So Chris, every time there was a hot chick on, he'd write scenes, naturally, to make out with them, right?
Naturally.
So, with that said... I'm sorry, I don't mean to make your life hard, I'm sorry.
Yeah, that's how he probably reacted when Burt Reynolds came in.
So with that said, now we're doing the sketches.
I've got a good show.
I've got a go-boy coming in.
I've got Tommy Lee.
Tommy Lee's telling me stories that are horrifying about Miley Cruz.
We're about to do the sketch and I think Chris got cut out pretty much of everything.
So he's a little pissed and Norm, which by the way, Norm right up front, as soon as I got Sunday Live, 1995, he took the new cast.
We were all new.
And he goes, hey, listen, don't put me in any of your gay sketches.
I do the update, and if I'm going to be in a sketch, it means don't put me in any of your gay sketches.
Gay not meaning homosexuality.
Gay meaning like your sketch is stupid.
Right.
Right.
Don't put me in any of your gay sketches.
Now you gotta stand something.
Now we're doing a read-through, alright?
So on Wednesdays you have to do a read-through.
And Norm is reading the Twilight Zone sketch.
And he's not... he's eating a carrot.
He's like, imagine if you will another place in time.
And then he said, he's just half-assing it because he knows.
He's seasoned.
He knows this is gonna make it.
So he's not selling it.
So it gets picked up and even I'm like, wow!
I don't know how, wow, he'd even try.
Okay, so now we're at rehearsals and Catan is non-stop.
God, you're gonna even try?
Jesus, Norm, you don't even sound like the guy.
And Norm... That's a really good Chris Catan.
I never really thought of a good Chris Catan impression until you did it.
Norm never...
Like, he'll just cut you down.
I saw him say things to other cast members like, whoa, dude, you don't care.
But he's not saying anything to Chris, which is...
A little weird for me.
Like we're all, me and Colin, Colin's like, I don't know, maybe he's uh, I don't know, maybe he found God, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I'm not saying anything.
And then now we're at the dress show, and Catan's non-stop, non-stop.
God, Norm, sketch, man, try to sell it, it's the only thing I'm in, God, I'm fine.
Now we do the dress show.
The dress show is Saturday Night Live, the crowd's there, they film it, God forbid something happens, they have something in the can.
20 seconds!
And Catan starts like, he doesn't even sound like him.
He's horrible.
And we're in the crowd.
That particular sketch is in the crowd.
So everyone's listening.
And he's just rattling Norm.
And I can't believe he's doing this in front of a crowd.
And I can't believe that Norm's not dishing it back.
And then the dress, the camera's on, and he's like, yeah, imagine if you will.
Another place in time.
I'm like, oh, fuck.
This is a sketch I'm not gonna be in, he just half-assed it.
Right.
Now, in between the shows, you gotta go in Loren's office to see what made it.
It made it.
Not only did the sketch make it, but it's like before update.
Yeah.
And to get in before update, that's the golden, that's the shot.
Now we're about to go live.
One minute, Jim Breuer, Molly Shannon, Chris Kattan, Norm Macdonald, Pamela Anderson, please get to the set.
We get a set, make up, and I'm sitting there like, what?
What is gonna go down, right?
And Catan starts again!
That's English.
Oh my God, Norm!
And we're live this time!
You can't even try- Oh my God, Pamela, you're so hot, you're so sexy, you're so beautiful, I love you, oh my God, if Tommy Lee ever- 30 seconds!
Oh my God, Norm, we got 30 seconds!
20 seconds and I'm looking at Norm.
Because in my mind at that time, if that was me, I would have knocked him out.
Right.
I would have went violent.
Yeah.
And they go, 15 seconds!
And Norm's smoking a cigarette.
And he goes, "'Cause, yeah, why don't you just tell everyone you're gay?"
He goes, that's why he's so angry.
He goes, he's doing a class, and the minute you say you're gay, no one cares.
It's like, you're gay, but that's the only real—TEN SECONDS!
Every hat chick that comes in here, you want to, like, eat her head, make her kiss her head, but it's because you're gay!
Just say you're gay!
FIVE SECONDS!
And he's like, "[bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep ble He murders!
To this day, if you watch that show and that sketch, you'll see my shoulders doing this because I'm uncontrollably laughing at what just went down.
I have so many moments like that on SNL that were so much better than the real life stuff.
Oh, yeah.
Well, that's kind of what podcasting has done.
The stuff that you wanted to make, you're like, oh, if only this had made air.
And now it can.
Yes.
Dude, my father.
So when I first got Sound Night Live, I fly him up from Florida.
He's already pissed because he brought a case of Bush Light.
This is pre 9-11.
He bought it for like $8.
He's all excited.
He's gonna go sign it live.
And my father, my kid's on television.
He's on Saturday.
He's crushing at the Elks Club with these stories.
Crushing.
So now I bring him up and it's the first show of Saturday Night Live and I get cut.
Yeah.
And whatever.
I don't care.
I know I got a bunch of more shows.
I'm contracted for nine episodes.
My dad's World War II vet, garbage man, he would never say garbage.
He was too embarrassed.
And I said, Dad, don't ever be embarrassed of what you are, man.
I look up to you as a man.
So he'd always say, sanitation.
So we go to SNL, and he's nonstop.
This show sucked.
Why'd your sketch get cut?
This show sucks.
Who runs this show?
It sucks.
I'm like, Dad, it's okay.
I'm going to be on many, many other shows.
Now it's the after show.
I'm drunk.
I'm getting high with Blues Traveler.
I made it.
This is the greatest thing ever.
We're about to leave.
It's probably about three, four in the morning.
I go, Dad, I want you to say hello to Lorne Michaels.
He goes, Lorne, what is that, Jewish?
What is Lorne?
Lorne, English?
I said, don't give a s***!
Who's asking?
Come see a little Lorne.
My father!
But that's what he is.
So we meet Lorne.
My hand to God, I am not exaggerating this.
I go, Lorne, do you mind meeting my dad?
I'd love to meet your father.
I go, Dad, this is Lorne.
Lorne, this is James, my dad.
Your son's talented.
My dad goes, my hand to God, he goes, you know, I flew up from Florida to see his show.
Sucked.
Went out on the Jimmy Sketch, got cut, show sucked.
Lorne, I went, holy shit.
Lauren was a pro.
He goes, well, next week, Chevy Chase already inquired.
He goes, next week?
Who gives a shit?
I mean, what happened tonight?
Because the show sucked!
And Lauren was like... I love that he wouldn't let him go.
No, he wouldn't let him go!
He was trying to be courteous, but he was like, no, I want answers.
What happened tonight?
It sucked!
Did you make these decisions?
Because you suck!
I brought $8 of Bush Light.
Bush Light!
Come on!
You suck!
None of that Milwaukee ice s**t. I sprung for it.
I went ape s**t. Dude, and that, as embarrassed as I was at that moment, as time went on, I couldn't believe what a, what a damn hero and a real man he was.
Yeah, because that's your first episode and greatest story I've heard of SNL so far.
Who?
I don't think anyone's ever went up to Lorne Michaels and said, your show sucked.
Ever.
And you took him out.
It sucked.
Yeah.
Dude!
That's, I love your dad.
He's more like my, you know, we'll sit down and talk with my dad before, I know we have to go after this, but he has more stories like that, too.
Just my dad is very tactful about it.
My dad is, you know, he's so likable, he's nice, he's charming.
And I will tell you this, when I grew up, he would find a way, he could find your weak point and cut you down so deeply in a nice way, where it doesn't really matter what you were saying.
Like, I think I said, you know, one time when I was a teenager, once ever, like, oh, I hate you.
He said something like, yeah, that cyst isn't quite going down like you thought it would on your nose, is it?
You know, that kind of thing, where it's like, oh my god, this is my dad, and he's worse than any comic I've ever seen.
He would just pick your weak point, and I've watched him get into it with executives, with, I won't say the names, but politicians, national level politicians, and their handlers here.
There is something with maybe just being at that age where you just decide, I don't care.
And I think I started that early on because I watched him and I didn't realize I couldn't get away with it.
I was like, I'm gonna be like him.
And I made a lot of enemies.
Let me ask you this before we go to the Mug Club exclusive.
And I think it's cigarsdaily.com.
Enter in the promo code CROWDER.
Not an official sponsor, but you'll get 15% off.
It's a good cigar, isn't it?
Yeah, it was.
That's a little cigar, too, so you don't have to worry if you want to try one out.
This is a good medium-strength cigar.
There's also Swisher if you're a guy.
Yes, there's also Swisher.
I don't think they sell those.
Maybe they do.
For the record, I wish this was like a nine-hour show.
Oh, we can go as long as you want.
We're going to talk about Hollywood pedophiles on the Mug Club thing.
We can't do that on YouTube.
If you have to be, let me ask you this, because you've done so, and I'm not saying this to shine your ass, but you've done so much, okay, SNL and you've done the stuff with Dave Chappelle, but you've also done these specials, so many specials, and you've sold out these huge theaters, and then now you're in this chapter where you sort of You know, inadvertently became controversial.
Again, for people who don't know, go watch some of his commentary and watch his specials.
And it's nothing that should be offensive, but to some people it was.
If you had to pick, considering how multifaceted your career has been, what would you want to, how would you want to be remembered?
If people say Jim Brewer is, what would you want that to be?
To be dead honest, I'd rather my kids be Learned from me as a, that I was a hero for them.
And then I was a hero for my wife and family.
As far as the rest of the world, um, I've always, I, I feel like 90% of the time I put a good human vibe out there.
95% of the time.
As far as what they remember, I can't control that.
Just doing the right thing.
That guy always did his own thing.
That guy always just, he stuck to the program, his own program.
But I'd rather see that more in my kids, to give them a little, like what my dad did for me.
And my mom, too.
And my mom.
I think you'll be that, though, for also a lot of other people's kids who don't necessarily have a dad.
I will say this, the way I see you is, as someone who, again, I was a kid.
He doesn't have a dad.
We're back on that old string he's playing on.
Let's put it on you again, Dave!
Oh, I don't have a dad!
My mom killed herself!
Okay, we get it.
Can you hear me?
You start singing Amy Grant songs?
Oh my God, is she still around?
I think, in some capacity.
I thought I was going to marry her and I wanted to suck face with her so bad.
Yeah, now you're Kris Kitten.
Oh, Amy Grant's so sexy and I want to suck face with Amy Grant.
Isn't she good looking?
I loved Amy Grant.
Yeah, she was cute.
But I will say this.
I see you as an unwilling hero.
An unwilling sort of, I guess, ambassador.
The reason that so many people came in and supported you.
is because there aren't many people saying what you're saying.
There are talking heads who say it, but they say that every day.
And so it really registered as genuine where you just said, I think this vaccine thing forcing people, it's a bridge
too far.
And sometimes the best sort of leaders or ambassadors, examples,
are those who never really wanted, like George Washington said,
I shouldn't be president for that long.
They wanted him to stay there.
And so I'm not shining your ass, but I'm just saying you're an example for people who aren't
just your kids are most important, but there are a lot of kids out there, you know, like
They're like Mitch Hedberg babies.
There'll be a lot of Jim Brewer babies in the next generation.
And I want that.
I want to see more.
My favorite saying in the world, and I won't say who said this quote, only because people judge.
They'll be like, who said that?
And then they'll find whatever bad, whatever.
Oh, he looked at his penis when he was six years old.
Whatever.
Whatever they'll find.
I love the saying, this is one of the sayings that changed my life, one person can change the whole world for the better as long as they don't give a damn who takes the credit.
And that was a, that moment and just my friend Larry's like, bro.
Just walk the walk.
Let people say, I like the way that guy walks.
Trying to think about this.
He walks the walk.
Yeah.
You can talk the talk all you want.
Walk the walk.
Yeah.
You want to be someone who lived it.
And I'm gladly taking that role as long as it's aligned with where it should be.
Whether it's God, whatever it is.
I'm such a sort of wannabe detective.
I'm trying to think of who the singer is.
I figured it out.
It's not a singer.
You said the person who said it.
I know who said it.
No, you don't.
It's Bill Burr.
Dude, you gotta walk the walk, right?
It's Bill Burr.
Alright, it's Brew Diverse.
Where can people go and find your tour dates?
At JimBrewer.com.
JimBrewer.com.
We're going to go to Mug Club Exclusive.
Thank you guys.
Oh, I'm looking at the wrong camera here.
This is cask strength bourbon.
I told you it'll hit you.
No, no, this is your camera.
And we'll see you tomorrow, but this is going to go extended.
Hollywood pedophiles.
