	And um, yeah.
	Love you guys, baby.
	Thank you.
	Today's guest is a comedian and an actor out of Staten Island, New York.
	Um He was young, he was he was once a young king and now he's a medium king.
	He's about to take on a world tour in some select cities.
	Um, this is the first time we've sat this long and gotten to really talk.
	Uh I'm very fortunate for his time.
	Uh he's an exceptional young man.
	Today's guest is Mr. Pete Davidson.
	I love this.
	I love this.
	Thanks for coming by, dude.
	Dude, thank you for fucking having me.
	It was awesome.
	Oh, yeah.
	I only watched you and I listened to uh uh this.
	What are you talking about?
	Joel Osteen?
	No.
	I uh I no, I listen to your uh podcast and I listened to uh this podcast called How Did This Get Made, where they just kind of talk about movies.
	Oh, yeah.
	People wait, wait, I know who's showed me.
	That's not Doug uh it's Manzucas and Paul Shear.
	They just talk about like movies that like were ridiculous, and then like just the the math of how they got made.
	Paul Shear's so cool.
	He is really cool.
	He's a good guy.
	Is he?
	Yeah.
	I never known him that much except just seeing him in movies and TV.
	Manzucas is maybe pound for pound, one of the fucking funniest human beings.
	Really?
	It's it's amazing.
	Mantzucas, huh?
	Let me get a gander at him.
	Oh, he's all the ethnicities, huh?
	He's a fucking Gaza strip of a man.
	Dear God, I'd be afraid to open my car door if I ramp this out.
	And I wouldn't even know which way it was coming from.
	He's one of those guys that's looked like that forever, and now he's the appropriate age to look like that, but he'll also still look like that forever.
	You know what I mean?
	He looks like somebody off that Muslim version of Guess Who.
	Remember that game?
	And no offense, Mr. Manzucas.
	If you're as funny as he says you are, you're okay with some of this.
	They should have a Muslim version of Guess Who.
	Dude, they have an Asian version, it's just all the same guy, oh man.
	Do they really?
	Do they have one for everyone?
	I'm sure they do.
	It's fucking the way they do it now.
	That's what I like about this.
	You learn a little bit.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, they have a guess who too for like twinks.
	I know there's one, it's like one of these guys doesn't mind meeting other guys or whatever.
	This is crazy.
	Dude, you're going on your first international tour.
	Is that cool?
	Pete Davidson.
	Good to see you today, man.
	Thanks for having me, bro.
	Yeah, thanks, dude.
	I'm uh I'm stoked.
	I've never been uh anywhere unless it was for like work.
	Right.
	Um, but I've always wanted to try it's just like I can't believe that anybody would come see me over there.
	Yeah.
	You almost need to go there to believe that.
	Yeah, I'm kind of like dumb where I'm like, no one knows me in you know Australia.
	Yeah, I've never been there before.
	I don't have friends there.
	Yeah.
	But I'm excited.
	Yeah.
	Um, are you taking anybody with you?
	Is it only you?
	What's uh it's me and my uh friend Joey Gay who uh does shows, been doing shows with me since uh I'm like 18.
	So nice.
	Bring him up.
	Let me get a picture of Joey Gay.
	Oh, Joey Gay's fucking hilarious, dude.
	I may have met him, but I can't remember.
	He's been around forever.
	He's just one of those dudes that just always destroys.
	Oh, there he is.
	Yeah.
	He's also been my friends, you know, since the before time.
	Yeah, he's a monster dude.
	He's fucking great.
	I know him.
	He looks like a little bit like Chris, like almost like Christa Stefano and Charlemagne had a kid, a little bit of that.
	No, he's a he's a real good dude.
	Oh, that's great.
	Yeah.
	Where are you guys headed to?
	I know you're headed to Perth, I saw.
	Perth, Sydney.
	Um another one.
	Uh maybe Mel Melbourne.
	Yeah.
	It could be wrong.
	I have no idea.
	I You know, when you get a tour schedule and you're super intimidated, and you just go day by day.
	Um, but I know we're doing it.
	Oh, here they are.
	Singapore, whoa.
	Yeah.
	Um and what's causing all that?
	There's a lot of good street food there.
	Um, that was just Burke.
	Uh, I don't know if you know.
	We have the same age.
	Yeah, we're the same age.
	So, you know, they'll be like, he'll be like, yeah, you know, you can fit this one in there, you know, it's on the way, there's a layover.
	Why don't you parachute into the Azores?
	I got a hostage facility outside of Guantanamo.
	I'll sell 200 tickets in right now.
	Nah, they owe me.
	They owe me.
	Like, all right.
	Whatever.
	They oh, yeah, they always do owe.
	I got it.
	Uh dude, that's gonna be that's gonna be great.
	And you're going to uh Riyadh.
	So how do you guys feel about this Saudi Arabian comedy festival?
	There's been a lot of like talk about this recently.
	Are they limiting what you guys can say?
	Have you heard anything about it yet?
	That one I haven't heard much about.
	Uh Singapore.
	Uh I I had like a laundry list of stuff.
	It was pretty much uh my whole act.
	So I I don't know.
	I don't know what to do.
	I'm like Googling old sets from when I was like 20 and just gonna do the classics and dude.
	Do some of Jim Gaffkin's bits.
	That's what I do if I'm in a tough spot.
	Just do I mean, or just do Nate stuff, just very evergreen clean stuff.
	Have you ever had that problem?
	Yeah, I dude.
	Oh, yeah, I have it a lot.
	I mean, I have a lot where it's like you have to sift back through.
	They're like one of them was like you could talk about sex, but like not like in a dirty way.
	Right.
	And I'm like, what the fuck does that mean?
	Yeah.
	So I guess let's here.
	Well, let's try to have a conversation about sex, but not in a dirty way.
	Oh man, I had some I was sex recently, yeah.
	How'd it go?
	Well, I thought it went pretty good, you know.
	I was on a full stomach, so did you both blast?
	Uh hold on.
	I need to leave this conversation.
	This isn't Singapore approved, I think.
	And they'll beat you with that sticker.
	Remember, they killed that honky over there like 25 years ago.
	Remember that guy?
	Christopher Reeves or whatever.
	Who was that guy?
	They killed Christopher Reeves or Christopher.
	I think, or maybe it's not him.
	Who was it?
	This is a huge thing when I was a child.
	They beat this guy for doing something over there.
	What was he doing?
	Oh, this guy.
	Michael Fay, there he was.
	Oh, man.
	Tina Faye's brother.
	This is why she had to win.
	She didn't have a choice.
	The person was famously caned in Singapore is Michael Faye, an American teenager in 1994.
	Faye was sentenced by a Singaporean court to six strokes of the cane and four months in jail for acts of vandalism, specifically for spray painting and damaging cars.
	Oh, he didn't do anything.
	As well as stealing road signs, yeah.
	I mean, that's fine.
	Oh, that's just a little bit of newsome foreplay right there.
	That's nothing, dude.
	That's sad.
	It's sad, it's sad in general, but just for like spray painting cars and stealing road signs.
	I feel like they should just, you know, cut your hand off or something.
	Well, I think I think this guy's pretty lucky, dude.
	Some places, I guess they still have a lot of that.
	But no, what I've heard, dude, is that that Riyadh festival is that you that they're they're like, you know, there's a lot of people that say people are getting paid by this Middle Eastern money.
	Right.
	You know, and that they can say this or they can't say that, or that they're over there, they're gonna try to influence you guys in order to speak certain ways.
	Do you are you part of that conspiracy theory, or is that nothing you're on?
	I I've heard there's subreddits of like, I think all these people are in bed with that.
	Um, I just you know, I get the routing and then I see the number and I go, I'll go.
	Okay, okay.
	Yeah, you know, and also you know, I there's there's part of me that's just like, you know, I've been getting a little bit of a flack just because like my dad died 9-11.
	So they're they're like, how could you possibly go there?
	So your dad died during 9-11.
	He died in one of the buildings?
	Uh yeah, he was a fireman.
	Uh they were actually the first uh truck there.
	There's like this very this is how shitty my luck is.
	Also, not to make this all about myself, but uh well, it's an interview of you, so it's right.
	If you do, it's okay.
	I'm at 9-11, but yeah, uh it's all about me.
	Um there's a very famous shot that you see every 9-11, besides the obvious ones, but they were the first truck over the bridge to the 9-11.
	Yeah, so the front page is just like Pete's dad.
	I'm like, oh he's waving out the window.
	Yeah, he's like that.
	So uh yeah, they were they were the first truck over there, and pretty much the whole house, the whole house, you know, died.
	Oh.
	Which is sad, but also at least he died with his pals.
	You know, it's kind of they all went as a group, huh?
	That's his truck.
	No, that's that's the picture.
	You see the truck on the bridge.
	Oh.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	My dad's in there, dude.
	I wonder if you know something Shane Gillis said it.
	Pretty gay, dude.
	He's in there, it's pretty gay.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, my down syndrome brothers in there.
	Yeah, that's I feel like that's what Shane would say the whole time.
	That's your dad, right there.
	That's my pops, dude.
	Dude, he's you're mechan, you're part, you're Mexic Latino.
	No, no, all white and Jewish and Irish.
	Oh, wow.
	Italian.
	Yeah, but I feel like our family looks mixed, but we're not.
	Well, it's crazy that he died in 9 11, and also part of him is accused of doing it.
	That's crazy as far.
	So I think that's where you're like the you're the fucking uh you're the Bermuda triangle of 9-11.
	Well, it is a little weird that they were the first truck there.
	That is true.
	It's almost like he was too ready to go.
	Yeah, it's the old Irish hello, huh?
	Yeah, yeah, that's the Irish part, I think.
	Oh man, he's a handsome guy.
	What was he like?
	He was fucking hilarious, man.
	He was uh my memories are you know, few and far between because I was seven, but uh I just remember laughing a lot, him being pretty jacked and uh smoke a lot of cigarettes and driving uh a Subaru Impreza.
	That's all I remember.
	Oh, he's had a big smile on his face, but my favorite thing is um I don't know if you have, I'm sure you do.
	People come to your shows and they're like, I knew I don't know, your dad, or I knew I know your cousin, or whatever.
	Uh a lot of people lie to me uh about that just to come backstage because they because they know I can't be like right, you know, sure, or whatever, but I don't want to hear about it.
	Of course, you want to hear a story about your dad.
	Of course, I could always tell who is telling the truth because the second they start talking, they have this big smile and their eyes kind of light up, and uh they call him Scotty, which is what his friends call him.
	So I always could tell.
	And uh everything I hear is always really sweet.
	So I'm sure they like keep the horrible things away.
	Yeah, Scotty met on the Jets.
	Yeah, he did.
	He's a big Jets fan.
	Oh yeah, but you you lost your hops too.
	We you were young too, right?
	Yeah, I was 16, my dad died.
	He was just older though, but I think like yeah, it just uh yeah.
	I mean, losing your dad when you're a kid is kind of tough.
	I think it's obviously it's tough.
	I think it's it is funny as you get older, you want to know the different stuff about him, you know.
	Yeah, like was he a pervert or whatever?
	Even if it's still more information, you know?
	Like, did he sleep in his car or whatever?
	You know, like what did he do, you know, for fun.
	I think it's worse at your age though, because you could fully understand the scope of what happened, and you're at such a pivotal age in your life where you're growing and becoming a man.
	I was really young, so I didn't even really know what the fuck happened.
	And it hit me later, like when I was in college, I was like, oh, I'm pretty angry about this.
	Like it it'll show up uh more and more as I get older because you understand like that's really sad to happen to a kid.
	But I feel like your age, and forgive me if I'm wrong, but like that's like that's like visceral.
	That's that's some tough shit.
	Yeah, I think you know, my dad was so old.
	My dad was set, you know, he my dad was born in 1910, he was an old man, and so what he was 70 when I was born, so he was 86 at that time, right?
	Holy shit.
	So it wasn't like I had like this, you know, uh dad that had this energy, and you know, I had this kind of dad that was like a sleeping in the distance a lot, or like, you know, all inadvertently causing shit to happen, like falling asleep, and the car boy come pick me up and he fucking doze off out there, you know.
	And uh, and he my dad had this, he was always buying cars off these brothers that lived around the corner, right?
	And so he had one time he had this cutlass that had some 22s in the trunk, some fucking bangers in that bitch.
	And he would just listen like uh Rush Limbaugh and shit, like on with both baits.
	Cranked up.
	Oh, bro.
	Like uh Paul Harvey, and just like these old commentators, and he would fucking just doze off in his car.
	And whenever he dozed off, his he was old as eyes would like leak, and they're just like water kind of pulled out him because you're getting old.
	You know, your gaskets get bad.
	And so he was just fucking just shedding water weight, and I was just fucking like, what is going on?
	So you were a little prepared, you were a little prepared.
	Oh well, I was prepared that things weren't gonna go well, right?
	You know, so my dad kind of was like a driving 9-11 kind of He like kind of pulled up in his own little like I would have been awesome if that we gotta put my dad's car behind that fire truck.
	Superimpose your dad's car there.
	Yeah, he was always a 9-11 dude.
	Every time he came in and suddenly you'd have to get his fucking carters in work, you had a climb in the fucking wind.
	Everything was a fucking nightmare with him.
	And the teachers would always look at you like don't get in there, right?
	Right with your dad.
	Yeah, but that's your parent picking you up.
	Like but then there's little things like did you have some nice mementos of his?
	Uh I have actually I have his uh his wedding ring uh I wear all the time, and I have uh his um it's actually super fucked up, but I have his uh badge, like his chain, his badge, and and they found that's how they you know, ever because everybody's pretty burnt up, yeah.
	So that's how they knew it was him.
	And uh I have it and I I just keep it in a safe because like with my luck, I'll lose that shit.
	But um, I have like a couple of those things, and I have uh his uh his fire, his like jacket and like other set of pants, and uh I put him like on the wall, I like framed him.
	But then I put him, I took him down though, because like sometimes I'll be feeling good, and then I'll see that and I'll be like, uh you know, it's like a weird, it's a weird thing.
	I remember my mom has it's like everywhere you look, it's like you know, my dad, like and it's fucking it's kind of on a condom.
	That's a lot.
	Sorry, that's crazy, dude.
	I was just trying to make you laugh.
	No, it didn't make me laugh.
	But uh, it's kind of haunting where you're just like I would like to opt, like if I want to go down memory lane, right?
	I can, but like you just like have your dad staring at you everywhere.
	Yeah, you don't want memory lane just hanging out on the wall being like, hey, do a lap, you know?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So do you have any stuff for your dads?
	You have the speakers?
	No, what do we have?
	We have I have his passport for whenever he moved to uh the US.
	What is he from?
	He's from Nicaragua, he came down here.
	When I think he was like, let me see.
	I guess he was 12 or whatever.
	Um that's wild.
	It was pretty wild.
	I don't know anyone from there.
	That's crazy.
	I don't know either.
	I don't know.
	It's like a real place.
	It's like a place you live on MySpace when you're in high school.
	Oh, Nicaragua.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, or Schenectady, New York.
	Oh, yeah, Kalamazoo, Michigan.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Dude, I remember when I saw Kalamazoo in the airport one time, people were going there one day.
	I couldn't even fucking believe it.
	I thought they were like traveling into a damn Dr. Seuss novel or something.
	I was like, tell Cindy Lou Who.
	I said, What's up, huh?
	How old is she?
	You feel me?
	BLM, dude.
	Um But yeah, I think as you get older, stuff like that's interesting.
	Were you able to find pieces of fatherhood in other men as you got older?
	Yeah, I think that's inadvertently what I was doing.
	Uh I wasn't like very conscious, like I need to find me a dad, you know.
	Yeah, but I I as I look back though, you know, and that was what was cool about getting into comedy.
	I was 16, so everyone, the youngest uh comedian friend I had was like, I don't know, 29, 30.
	It was like Che, De Stefano.
	Oh, that's great.
	You know, all those guys, Yannis, Nate, um, Soder, and like it was all dudes that were older than me that like you know, obviously there's not there wasn't a lot of other younger dudes, but I really I've really looked up to them, and like I see Joey, I do shows with Joey Gay all the time.
	He's like in his 50s, so most of my friends I find are like you know, 40 and up, because I think that makes me feel uh safe and also just like this is a sort for some form of like big brother sort of thing.
	And yeah, somebody looking out for you, but also when you go through a tragedy that young, like your brain is older.
	Like I always felt like um I was older um like in school where like when that happened, you know, kids would be like, You want to like have a pool party?
	And I'm like, no, like yeah, I want to smoke cigarettes and cry.
	Like I'm that's yeah, it's like it's not that that like innocence is kind of taken away really fast, and that's why I got into stand up.
	I would watch you know, Burr and Chappelle and Um Rodney's my favorite.
	So I think that's why I like veered towards laughing a lot.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm just sad dude.
	Like I feel like most of us are pretty Were you a pretty sad dude, you think?
	Yeah, I think there's you almost get pigeonholed as this Not sad, dude.
	I think.
	Yeah, I'm like, what the fuck, guys?
	I'm like, I'm pretty everybody's always like, oh, that guy just and that's where some of the hatred comes.
	He just he got I don't give a fuck attitude.
	I'm like, no, I'm I'm miserable.
	I I want to be that dude too.
	All the dude you guys are talking about.
	I want to be him.
	I don't even know that guy.
	I look at pictures, I'm like, who is this guy that everybody's talking about?
	You know, like it's not me.
	Um yeah, I I grew up super duper uh sad.
	I there's my mom shows pictures.
	You can always tell what pictures of me when I'm little before and after my my dad passed because the eyes are different.
	Oh like the eyes are just like sad.
	The eyes have it, that's what they say.
	Yeah.
	Damn.
	I feel like you're a people think you must be like the happiest silly dude ever, but I feel like you have some layers.
	Oh, yeah, dude.
	I'd like to be in a wheelchair a lot of times, you know.
	Just cause just to fucking show them, I'll show them.
	That's my attitude.
	Show other dudes and wheelchair.
	Right out of fucking interstate.
	I'll show them.
	Hit me.
	I'll go to heaven right now, motherfucker.
	Do you ever play truth or not truth or dead, but like uh kind of rushing roulette with yourself where you're like, if I die this way, I'm supposed to.
	Ooh, let me think about that.
	Like where I I got a motorcycle for a little bit.
	You did just for a bit, and then I got into an accident.
	Why just for a bit?
	So I it was kind of like uh if I go this way, like I don't, I was young, I was like, I don't give a fuck.
	Like I'm rockin' bold, dude.
	But then I didn't realize like you can get in a motorcycle accident and it not be your fault.
	Like I didn't realize you can get hit by other cars.
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	You don't think about that.
	I don't think about it.
	You're just like, I it's all my control, but some dude, some dude clipped me and then the the bike kind of fell on me.
	It was pretty mid, but um, I was like, oh, you could be enough.
	Yeah, I don't want to die by someone else.
	I want to do it.
	Right.
	Well, yeah.
	Yeah.
	I want to go out on my shit.
	So yeah, motherfucker.
	Yeah.
	I'll die, bitch.
	Watch me.
	Yeah, you don't think I'll die?
	Yeah.
	Watch.
	Yeah.
	Dude, I'll say this.
	I've had a girlfriend before where I've been like, shh, like, I knew I should leave her, but I'm like, I'm not leaving her because she'll find somebody that actually likes her.
	Yep.
	That's how fucking much I was like miserable, dude.
	You ever have uh sad to even think that one of my rebuttals to a girl leaving me was like, you've done so much work, you've done so much work on me.
	Like I it's like you got me ready for someone else.
	Like that's that's like not fair.
	I'm because now I'm just gonna be all this this good with someone else.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Like you taught me so much.
	Yeah, at least show up for the graduation.
	Yeah, come on.
	You know, you put so much work in.
	You know I'm back, and you know I never left, baby.
	Prize picks, bing bug.
	That's where I'm at.
	Prize picks is the best place to win cash while watching sports if you like to fire on sports.
	If that's not your thing or you can't handle it, that ain't for you, king.
	But football season is fully underway, and there's no better time to join.
	The app is really easy to use to create a lineup.
	All you have to do is pick more or less on a few players' stats.
	That's it.
	Prize picks is in more than 40 states, including California, Texas, and Georgia.
	And with promo code Theo, you can play five dollars and get fifty dollars in lineups.
	It's heartbreaking to say it, but with the Saints playing as tragically as they are and possibly being sold in a few years in a package deal with the Pelicans.
	I am choosing some of the Buffalo Bills this week for my players.
	I'm picking more than two and a half touchdowns for Josh Allen, and I'm picking more for Keon Coleman.
	That's where I'm at.
	Those are my picks.
	You can also tail me in the prize picks app.
	And now you can even follow me on prize picks at the Ovon.
	Prize picks, it's good to be right.
	You know, Bitcoin hit an all-time high of 124,000 in August, which is wild considering that it was trading around $60,000 last year.
	When I need more Bitcoin because I'm in, I'm in.
	I go to Moon Pay.
	Yep.
	Moon Pay is always the first app that I open because it doesn't force you to buy a whole coin.
	And it's super easy to use.
	Now I do want to say that Moon Pay is one of the biggest partners of our show, uh, which we're grateful for.
	And they've also allowed me to accept my payment from them in Bitcoin.
	Yep.
	That's how I'm doing it.
	Instead of US dollars.
	I'm planning to hold and save that Bitcoin in my moon pay account.
	The Bitcoin will sit in a digital moon pay wallet that nobody can access except for me.
	Yep.
	The US dollar continues to fluctuate in value.
	So by making this decision, I'm diversifying my portfolio and hopefully earning more from our partnership than I would have otherwise.
	Remember, while Moon Pay makes buying crypto straightforward, it's essential to do your own research and understand the risks involved.
	Crypto trading can be volatile and you could lose your investment.
	Moonpay is a tool to facilitate your transactions, not a source of financial advice.
	Trade responsibly.
	Did you ever get that bad off with like your emotions or were you always able to have some awareness you think?
	I'm good now, but I used to dip in that.
	I was very like, growing up I wanted to die to be with my dad.
	Very badly.
	Yeah.
	So I tried this is so fucking embarrassing.
	But I can't really say really when you said that, also, of course.
	No, yeah.
	But I I like I tried my first time when I was like eight.
	I tried to like drown myself.
	And then my mom, like, this is so dark, but like found me in the pool seeing what I was trying to do, and then she took me to like a psych ward when I was like eight.
	So I've I've struggled with that.
	And then I kind of got out of it uh when I first started, I would say right around when I got SNL.
	Um because uh I didn't have many friends growing up, and it was it was my fault.
	Like I've said this before, where like I was suffering and I was super weird, and I was like uh, you know, very visibly hurting, but you know, kids don't know that that's what you're going through.
	They just think you're weird, like they don't have this scope of did you feel like a lot of like were like thoughts and stuff were trapped inside of you, kind of, or what do you feel like you think?
	Yeah, it was like on a hamster wheel of just like I have because I have OCD and uh you know manic depression, so like it's just that's a horrible combo, and then you start doing drugs and it's like good luck, you know.
	You're a fucking slot machine at that point of depression and the worst stuff.
	Um then uh I I would like revert to that uh when I got sad, but then when I started doing stand-up, I kind of was like uh I found like a group of weird friends and like uh artists are cool and they they understand like sadness, and like a lot of them are like um you know, not afraid to talk about that stuff, and oh yeah, you know, and I I really like uh I was like, oh you know, and then um there's this weird thing.
	I don't know if you've really had this because I I know everybody just fucking loves you as they should, but I had this thing where like I came out and everyone really rallied behind me and was like, oh, this kid they look what happened to him as a kid, and now he's doing this, and that's super cool.
	And it was like all going up, and then it flipped, and then it was like fuck this dude.
	I don't like this dude.
	He I I hate this dude, and like we're in the internet age, so I'm reading all that shit.
	Yeah, and then it brought me back to like childhood high school, like not fitting in like again, low self-worth attached to all that old shit.
	Then that shit started to pop back in, and then that's where I started like doing drugs, and then uh a year and a half ago, I was like, I was just like, I need to wanna I need to be okay if not all this goes away.
	Like if like it can't be for stand-up, it can't be for this movie, it can't be for this girl, it can't even be for my family.
	Like, I have to wanna be okay, otherwise, all this shit doesn't work.
	Oh, dude, when you say that's so scary to me.
	I don't know if I could ever like even though I feel like I am, I don't if there's a big part of me, the truth is I don't know how I would feel if I didn't have somebody else's feelings to base it on, you know.
	No, yeah, it's like uh if I didn't have how somebody else felt about me to base it on.
	Yeah, that's that's how I live.
	We're we're uh we're people pleasers.
	You honorable.
	Laugh at me, please.
	Yeah, you know what I mean?
	Like watch my movie.
	Like when I go outside, take a picture, like you know, and then it got to see me.
	Even if you call me a f it or whatever, we can bleep that out.
	Yeah.
	Or we can just say that he said it.
	Yeah.
	But uh anyway, at least that's like in the in the context that makes sense.
	Yeah.
	Only if it's during Pride Month and you mistook me for one of your best bugs.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Not in like a regular.
	No, no, no.
	I you should stand by that.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, you can't uh, but that's a hard that's a hard thing to un you're undoing for me.
	It was like, you know, 25 years of people pleasing, and that's why I live, you know.
	So I had to like learn how to be okay with this.
	And like also, like a year, year and a half ago, like they were like, it's over, he's done.
	You know, is it the media t tabloids, that type of shit?
	Yeah, where it's just like there was like articles that were like, I smoke crack and live with my mom.
	And I was like, I was like, all right, like give me part of that.
	Like, not all of that.
	Um it's a two-bedroom.
	It sucks when there's like four.
	It sucks when there's four things in the article that are wrong, but there's one of them.
	You're like, actually, yeah, that's fucking kind of true.
	But you know, and I'm in rehab alone reading this, you know, and a lot of my friends, you know.
	I would say I still have half of them, but uh a lot of them I it got to a point with my use and like how I was behaving where they were just like, I love you, but like I this is too much.
	Oh wow.
	And when that started happening, it was started happening with people where I was like, Well, I don't give a fuck about you anyway.
	Right.
	And then it started happening with like people I really cared about, and I was like, oh shit, like it's me.
	You can only go, it's everybody else for so long.
	Yeah.
	And then until you're like, okay, I get it.
	And then, you know, and that that was kind of it for me.
	Was there a day you kind of turned it in, you were like, I'm dropping the rock today, you know?
	Oh, where I'm where just like I I need to leave.
	Or were you just like, I'm gonna go definitely get some help, like, or was there like one conversation that kind of cemented it for you?
	I I guess, yeah, once you start to see, like, man, oh, that person is stepping away from me, God, it must be.
	Yeah, because it's weird.
	Sometimes you want to make your outside, you want to make it match kind of how you feel on the inside.
	It's like that's exactly I want you to leave me because I left me so long.
	In my mind, everybody left me so fucking long ago that I want, I don't if you the fact that you're even still around here fucking makes me not even respect you, you know, in like a sick way, you know.
	Yeah, and this part of you that's probably like for me, I was like calling bluffs almost, where I was just like, I I I self-sabotage, blow up anybody that's ever actually loved me or cared about me has gotten the worst wrath from me.
	Oh yeah, you know, it's few and far between, but when it happens, it's fucked up.
	And it but this whole like fuck you, leave me, like get ahead, leave me.
	What they started to.
	And I was like, oh shit, you're calling my bluff, and I love you, and I don't want you to go away.
	And then you go into therapy, and you're like, fear of abandonment, you have BPD.
	This this is why from your childhood, you you did this, and your grandpa did this, and now you're this.
	So like you gotta do that sort of work.
	But yeah, it got to that point where people I really fucking loved.
	And also my mom, you know, my mom's the most supportive person in the world.
	She's a cool lady, the best.
	I mean, like what's her name?
	Amy.
	She's the best name.
	She never dated.
	She married a fireman, Amy.
	Yeah.
	She's she's a nurse.
	Like, yeah, they met each other in grammar school, like super Staten Island.
	I want to marry a nurse.
	And my mom, look how cute my mom is.
	Oh, she's just a sweet lady.
	She never dated after my mom, uh, after my dad died, just raised me and my sister, like alone and worked hard.
	And she's been the most supportive ever.
	And uh, it got to a point where she she called me uh when I was uh when I was in rehab and she was like, I my biggest fear is that I will turn on the news and see that my son has died.
	Oh and she's never been like that, like, you know, because she's so supportive and just you know wants to always have positivity around.
	Yeah, and she already lost something she loved it.
	Exactly.
	And that fucking that killed me.
	Oh yeah.
	So like I was like, all right, you know, can't die until she's dead at least.
	Yeah, all right, Amy.
	Yeah, yeah, you got it.
	Yeah, like when that lady's when that lady says that to you, look at that lady.
	I mean, how are you gonna be like, I'd have to be a heartless fucking sociopath to not get my shit together, you know?
	You're like, okay, this is what I need.
	Yeah, oh good lady.
	Oh, that's cute, man.
	Yeah, I'm a lucky guy in that aspect.
	I have a really like Supportive, uh cool family that has never asked me for anything, and they should like they could, and they a lot of them need something.
	Yeah, you bought Colin Joseph that shitty boat, dude.
	You can't fucking get them somewhere.
	Can you imagine being one of my family members that's like live and check the check?
	And you read that.
	Sorry.
	It's so true.
	Like I have uh but I've I've offered to what I've offered to help.
	And they just they're like, nah.
	Like that's yeah, some people are like that.
	And I love that.
	That's how I but I think that here's what I start to realize about family.
	I think they're joking.
	I think they're joking.
	Like they they don't want you to be like, oh they don't because I'm always like, all right, but they want you like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	I got this.
	Yeah.
	I yeah, dude.
	I think I even you just saying that makes you think I gotta help out my family a little bit more.
	That's my Staten Island brother right there.
	Hey, there you go.
	He's from Staten Island too.
	Yeah, ain't that crazy?
	I mean, from a good part, clearly.
	We uh obviously it looks a little different, a little more island, yeah.
	A little bit, a little less statin.
	No, he's he's the best, man.
	He's a real good fucking dude.
	Is he?
	Oh, he's the best.
	I I only met him one time, and I think he looked so clean, I was just afraid to get to know him.
	Oh, dude, he's awesome.
	You guys would get along great.
	He's I don't know anyone that doesn't like you know, when you're like intimidated, or not intimidated, but just you're just like, I don't think me and that dude will have a vibe, and then you're like, oh, we love comedy and we're comics, and like there's that universal thing.
	So you guys would hit it off great.
	And it's also fun to hang out with someone that's like polar opposite in most ways.
	Oh, that's pretty cool.
	You know, and we're from the same island.
	Yeah, but it's like he golfs, you know, and I'm like, what the fuck is that?
	Yeah.
	I was like, we have golf clubs in Staten Island?
	I was like, I had no idea.
	Yeah.
	So um and you're out there doing tours of the Gilgo Beach killer area.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So different strokes for different folks, brother.
	Even yeah, even the theaters he does have like really nice names.
	Oh, like I'll look at his tour and I'm like, that sounds nice.
	All my shit's like, what the fuck is this?
	Memphis.
	Oh, it's Burgless, dude.
	Putting you out there, fucking you're doing an amphitheater out there at the Gilgo Beach.
	Killer friggin' section.
	God, who's this fellow?
	That's the Gilgo Beach.
	That's your opener in Singapore.
	That is, dude.
	You got a rebate from the uh from the uh port authority.
	Rex here.
	Rex hurriman.
	That's the dude that was killing all the hookers, man.
	That's fucked up.
	Yeah, that's not cool.
	Um, how long did you say?
	I'm trying to think of different I probably gotta go to a place soon and just get some away.
	I think I've just I just can't, everything's just been I can barely kind of keep it together every week.
	Well, you're also one of the most busy people in the world.
	I mean, you have like the biggest show out there, and but it there's I don't know if you had this, you have this feeling where you're like, Well, if I go away, it'll all stop.
	Yeah, I just think it's all everything will be fall apart, or I don't know what you'd be like alone with your thoughts, and like I think when you work a lot, you don't have time to be like, uh what am I upset about in my childhood or like whatever?
	Like uh you could take as much fucking time as you like, and you deserve it.
	You you deserve a nice little kickback, relax, do something that like makes you happy.
	What makes you happy?
	Like, what do you like to do?
	Well, I think some of it's funny that I'll thank you though for saying some of that stuff.
	No, it's true, bro.
	It is true.
	I think it's hard for me to get that, it's hard for me to like get that into my system, you know.
	And then to want to do it.
	I think like, you know, I'm kind of married to work, like I choose to work.
	Like sometimes I think about like I had this girlfriend, this really great girl that I was seeing for years, and I don't know if we're supposed to stay together or not, but sometimes when I think about life or certain things, she's kind of the one that I miss.
	It doesn't mean we're supposed to stay together, but there was still like a good good enough connection that was very real that it was like, man, that's her affection is what I miss, right?
	Right.
	Caring about her is kind of what I miss.
	Um, but I were I could see myself.
	We go out and do stuff, and then we come back home, and I could see how she would see me across the room.
	I'd sit down, I'd put my computer on my lap and just start working.
	Like, doesn't matter.
	If I had 30 free seconds, it always went to that, you know.
	And just like a couple months ago, I started thinking, oh man, that's what she must have seen all the time, you know.
	Right.
	It's just someone looking up and someone just not there.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	But but you are there, but you're just this is your comfort.
	Right.
	It's comfortable, it's reliable.
	I know the return.
	Yeah.
	I know the rate of return.
	I know you enjoy it.
	Yeah, I enjoy it.
	It's based if I fail in it, that's fine.
	It's totally on me.
	It's all it there's no room for any.
	I mean, there's room for other people in here, really, but it's definitely, you know, it's just you put in, you get out, right?
	Um so I don't know.
	Like, yeah, I think that's something, like just like that addiction to work.
	But then I'm getting older, I'd like to have a family, you know, and you're like, well, I don't know how that's gonna happen unless I do some things different.
	And so um, that's where I'm like, I gotta, I think I gotta just, you know, I don't know.
	But you're sober too, right?
	Yeah.
	This year's this yeah, this year's been a little tri a little I I've had a couple tough moments this year.
	This past year's been the toughest year that I've had in a while.
	Yeah.
	Um I hear that.
	But like this is like, you know, when uh drugs for me and smoking weed and you know, that that was like those were my friends.
	I never did it to go party or like I was never like, hey, let's like go fucked up.
	I did it at home pretty much alone, and I would just watch family guy.
	Just it was like a warm hug, a warm blanket.
	When you get rid of your friends, it's like what's left, it's like work, nicotine.
	Yeah.
	Am I supposed to give up those two?
	Like it's all I have like I your body needs to appreciate the friends you just let go.
	You know, it's it's that's if you let go of too many things at once, like it, it's not good for you.
	So it's like I don't know if that's how it is with you, but like it's hard to have a healthy relationship with like my reliabilities right now are like working, zen, and like working out and taking care of my girl and like hanging out with her.
	That's like that's all I have.
	Like if you pull one of those away, it's like three left.
	You know, I used to have eight things, and now it's like so it's tough.
	It's tough.
	Yeah, I think it's like I I do think there's a lot of stuff there where it's like I don't want to probably see some of it, you know, or I don't really want to feel like if I don't have a some girl to text or a date to plan or something in the distance or some work thing.
	Like if I took everything away and I was just with myself, how would I feel?
	You know, or what would that be like?
	And it would probably be fine.
	Right, but I think it's the fear of what would that be like?
	It's that it's the hurdle, not the other side a lot of times for me, you know.
	It's the same thing that comes with like commitment to relationships.
	I'm ah had the toughest time committing to relationships.
	I think it's just it's probably fine on the other side, right?
	It's just fucking stepping over the hurdle sometimes.
	You think you romanticize the fear a little bit as an out where it's just like in your head, you're like, no, this is what it's gonna be like, and then there's like a fear of like I do it and that's not what it's like, and then that whole thing is gone.
	Does that make sense?
	Like, do you think like having that set answer of like, well, if I do that, I won't be able to commit or it's gonna go wrong or whatever, like you're preventing yourself from even trying to do it.
	Oh, I see what you're saying.
	Because it probably is what you need.
	Right.
	Like you, and you can do it, and there's almost like uh not like you you don't believe in yourself enough.
	Does that make sense?
	Yeah, because that's uh that's a lot of a lot of my issues are like that.
	Yeah.
	Where I'm like, I he Pete can't do that.
	Like I can't, I can't oh, that's interesting.
	And then I can, I like I like proved myself wrong, and I'm not who I thought I was.
	Oh, and that's scary to not be who you thought you were.
	Yeah, because that's the person now that I whoever that person is, whatever there is of them, that's what I've known that Yes.
	And that's my and that you're comfortable in that.
	Yeah.
	Even if it's traumatic or you're depressed.
	Like I was so I'm so afraid to be happy.
	Yeah.
	Because it's uncomfortable.
	Dude, there was a time, this is like a year ago.
	It's funny you're saying some of this, man.
	And thanks for thinking about it with me.
	Yeah, of course.
	Um, yeah, the atomic a year ago, I was thinking, uh, if I don't want to feel like I don't even know who I'd be if I was happy.
	And if I was I would leave all of these feelings that I've always known so much that are like the best fucking friends, you know?
	Yeah.
	And it would be like I almost didn't even did I man, I don't want to go do live like that, because I'll desert these, whether they're lies or truths, whatever they are, they're probably all in somewhat of cloaks or masks, but I don't want to desert them.
	I'm so used to being at this party with this other small group of fucking lonely, perverted gambling a little.
	Yeah.
	But you know, that group that I don't even Want to go over there.
	But still, yeah.
	So I yeah, I think there's a lot, there's probably just the fact of even taking time away to sit and have conversations like this, or to be in environments where I'm not uh like regulating how I feel with Celsius, which the Amish are using now.
	I've heard.
	Dude, that was the best.
	I don't know.
	I don't know if you were recording, but I mentioned before that that dude was awesome.
	And you said you were in contact with him.
	Yeah.
	And my question was, how?
	Dude, we gotta send you over there to see that guy.
	I would love I would love to hang with that dude.
	Sometimes like I don't know.
	Uh when I watched it, one I thought it was really cool you did that because you switch it up.
	You'll have like an Oscar actor, then an athlete, then like this Amish kid.
	Um, but it made me like appreciative for like what I get to do and what we get to do and what we some things I take for granted.
	Oh, yeah.
	When he was just like stoked to like getting a Corvette with like two chicks, and he's like that, like my whole life.
	And I'm like, oh, it's pretty fast, too.
	Yeah, it goes.
	Yeah.
	So it made me super reflective.
	Like, and like the one, I thought he was adorable.
	Yeah, he's a nice guy.
	Yeah, nice and like uh very honest and earnest.
	But I also was just like, man, I gotta start stop like taking shit like that for granted.
	Yeah, I think a lot of that just comes into gratitude, you know, and having that, if we can mask, if we can just try to get that as part of our days, you know.
	I struggle with that, but I think that's it, too, you know.
	Well, your serotonin must be so fucked, like you're operating at such a crazy level, dude.
	You're interviewing the fucking president.
	Like you get to do shit uh every day that is someone's like, if I get to do that once in my life, like that's my whole life.
	Yeah, you're living that every day.
	So it's like that the crash is it's hard.
	Well, you too, man.
	I mean, at least you got to date a lot of beautiful women.
	I got stuck just interviewing the president and this Amish kid.
	I trade.
	I trade, dude.
	I trade.
	I'm not trading him.
	He's only 16.
	I will say a funny thing about him.
	That one of my favorite things is I was like, see, do you ever listen to music?
	He's like, Well, we we do three hymns every day when we get to school, he goes.
	He was, but every now and then we'll sneak off and listen to some Deaf Leopard.
	Oh fucking rock.
	That's awesome, dude.
	That's fucking awesome.
	And cool for Def Leopard, dude.
	That's what I thought.
	Dude, they should do uh Amish festivals.
	They should go straight there.
	Absolutely, right to the source.
	Yeah, right to the fucking source.
	I haven't heard of Def Leopard since Joe Dirt.
	Def Leopard sucks.
	Yeah.
	But that shit made me laugh.
	And he said they listened to some Morgan Wallin.
	Who's that?
	That's and some gun.
	I mean, ever and Gunner?
	Yeah.
	That's I would pay to see.
	Bring that up.
	But also, wait, before you do, the guy on the left in this photo, is that not Bruce Springsteen?
	Uh yeah, it is, obviously.
	That's Bruce Pickstein.
	Uh no, it's not.
	How?
	Yeah.
	What do you mean that's not Bruce Springsteen?
	Who is that guy?
	I know he's in Def Leopard, but that's Bruce Springsteen.
	Who is that guy?
	Google, like, zoom in.
	That's that's Bruce Brixton.
	Dude.
	Oh, yeah, it's him.
	Oh, now now it's not as much.
	But it looked like him for a second.
	There's David Hassel off over there on the right.
	Do you have footage of him listening to Gunner, dude?
	Oh no, but he does have a good quote about it.
	I would love to.
	You know what's one of the funny things is uh Morgan Wallin and I were texting, and he's like, Man, I think what if that kid did that walkout with me at my concert?
	Oh, dude.
	And but he doesn't have an idea.
	He was gonna maybe he I think it was I think it was being considered for Canada.
	His show in Edmonton last week, but um they don't get the Amish don't get identification.
	Oh wow, they're off the map.
	They don't get like a past, no ID.
	No, somebody's like, you have an ID, you have to just draw a picture of yourself and show it to them like that.
	But they have like births, they don't have any of that shit.
	I think they're like off grid like that.
	I'm gonna get him to come back another time and get a little bit more in-depth with him.
	Dude, he comes, he has a backwards hat.
	He has fucking ice on so different.
	He's talking down to you.
	Like, I would love to see that episode.
	He's so full of himself, dude.
	Wearing a fucking Ricky Williams jersey.
	He has a tattoo on his back.
	This butter don't churn.
	Don't churn on me.
	Yeah, don't churn.
	Don't turn on me, dude.
	Let's play this.
	Yeah, he gotta get a couple of those, like a couple get her done, a couple, like yeah, we have to get him.
	couple Hawk to us sort of statements, you know what I mean?
	So he could sell his own merch out in the Amish country out of his hat, pulling out merch out of the hat.
	That'd be fire.
	Or she sell those hats.
	Music do you guys listen to?
	I know you said in the beginning there's some different sometimes people will sneak in some Deaf Leopard.
	But if not, do you guys just sing a lot?
	Is there a lot of Amish songs and dancing as well, or no?
	Uh no, in our community, there's not really any dancing.
	There's the like the only like the only music, uh songs that are really a louder would be like chim and hymns.
	And sometimes we like sneak out on the weekends and stuff and and uh listen to some soldier boy or something, yeah.
	Like uh Def Leopard, Bonchovy, Bonchovy, Lot Amish, like rock and roll, and then I guess how's EDM music, and then also like a lot of country, like guys.
	So everything's Mark and Wild.
	So we we have crank up Spotify.
	Like Amish Paradise is that's a pretty good song.
	Who sang that?
	Uh weird El Yankovic idea.
	Oh, yeah.
	That makes perfect sense.
	That's great.
	Yeah, Amish Paradise.
	That's a pretty I love that song.
	That's a banger, huh?
	It is a banger.
	Yeah, he looks a little bit mad there, but it was a pretty good song.
	It's like me liking a song that just is called 9-11.
	And then also, like, I like to listen a little bit of like rap stuff too.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, like Ghana, a little bit of uh Ghana.
	Oh, you listen to some Gunner?
	Yeah, like uh like I don't really listen to what he says.
	I looked at the lyrics like a couple times, and like there are the lyrics aren't aren't the best, but like very melodic.
	He's a vibe, yeah.
	That's that's dope, dude.
	That's good.
	That kid rules.
	He does rule, man.
	You know what's funny, man.
	Even you saying that about him, it's like anyone I think about it, like the worst thing I think is like about drugs, addiction, that sort of thing.
	And it could be like I'm in like group like SLAA, like I'm in all like I'm in a lot of different groups, you know, like intimacy disorder type shit, like connect connectivity disorder, you know, like um, which probably some of the sims from just like watching porn growing up like that, but any addiction stuff, it takes you away from like just good moments in life, right?
	Yeah, it takes you away from like the mornings where you get to meet up and meet with a friend for coffee, or you get to work out and feel good about yourself walking out, or you get to text a friend in the morning and say, hey, have a great day, right?
	Or you get to sit with somebody like that who's just wake up and you're like, Don't jerk off, don't jerk off, don't jerk off, don't jerk off.
	Yeah, and then you jerk off and then you can go hang out with your friends.
	Oh, that's the fucking worst, dude.
	Yeah, it's tough, dude.
	When you feel like everybody knows you've been jerking off, yeah.
	Yeah, it's your worst.
	It's like smoking weed where you're like, everyone knows I'm high, everyone knows I just jerked off.
	Yeah, because I'm so relaxed.
	Do you keep up with it uh when are you more into the meetings and stuff when you're like fuck, I like um like tweaking, or do you do it both times like regularly and when you're oh if I if I'm having tough times or not having tough times, I'm always to go to meetings.
	Cool.
	Yeah, meetings have always been kind of a thing for me, I think.
	Um Do you have a do you have I'm sure I don't know if you feel this way, but sometimes you're in a meeting, you're like some of these dudes just like to talk.
	Yeah, you know, where you're like, Oh, this guy's here, yeah.
	And he's gonna tell that story, and it's so long.
	Yeah, and it means so much to him, and it's pretty mid compared to anything I've ever done.
	It's not it's not to diminish his stuff, but like, yeah, there's some meet there's some meeting like warriors where you're like, okay, yeah, I got it.
	One dude would play that song, This Little Light of Mine.
	Have you ever heard that during his shares or whatever?
	I never saw it, but the I know that song.
	This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it put that really low on his phone while he would share it a meeting, dude, and people would be like, Oh, dude.
	That's tough.
	So some of that shit was crazy, but then that's when I'm recognized.
	Oh, I have I'm impatient with people, and this is a practice for me to just sit here and be patient.
	Right.
	You know, um, but the best is also that's annoying as fuck.
	Yes, yes, but you have to find the balance.
	Yeah, but that because that is that sucks.
	Like, I don't want you to think you're acting out of character, like I need to be a better person.
	That sounds like it's miserable.
	Yeah, and sometimes he would even do the city cane holders, whatever that song is.
	Oh it was the home.
	Who cares?
	Have you been jerking off or not?
	It's Raymond's turn to share.
	Let's fucking keep it moving, dude.
	Sometimes you're like, fuck.
	But then you're like, I'm impatient.
	And that's why I'm probably not in a probably why I'm not I have not in a relationship.
	I'm just impatient, you know, or like those types of things.
	You know.
	Oh, it's Macklemore.
	I love Apple More too.
	I love Macklemore too.
	I hope he drops a baggage.
	We miss him.
	Bro, get with the Amish, bro.
	Oh, he'd be perfect.
	That would be perfect.
	That would be sick.
	The Mackelmore revival in Amish Country.
	Bro, if Macklemore hit up the Amish, dude.
	That's a that's an untapped market.
	This Hebel can hold us.
	This yellow fever can't hold us.
	Do they get diseases out there?
	I don't even know.
	Well, they don't have doctors, right?
	They just have a guy that's like the bishop?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That's what he says all the time.
	Do people drop like flies in Amish Country?
	People don't die that much.
	There's no depression, there's no ADHD out there.
	Bro, if they're living, they're well, how big is uh is the town?
	Like, is it a mile?
	It's a good point.
	Because I imagine it just looks like uh back to the future to three set.
	It says mercantile.
	Yeah, just like just like six like houses and dirt, you know, and I think you're right.
	Right?
	He gave a tour of his house the other day.
	Somebody said when his parents were out, not out of town, but they were like another district.
	Is that it right there?
	Oh, that's the back to the future.
	Yeah, I think you're I feel like it looks like bad, dude.
	It has to.
	He's setting up an Airbnb over there.
	Did you um once you started to feel better?
	Did you did did that create a space because I know yeah, but you're having a child, you have a child yet?
	I'm having a child, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	A boy?
	Uh we have not disclosed.
	Um but you you do know though.
	Oh, we know okay, got it.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Um, but yeah, uh coming soon, dropping a baby soon.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I'm fucking thrilled, dude.
	That's cool.
	It was uh was it hard to get to that place?
	Do you think you'd have been able to get there if you didn't get into like in uh uh sobriety or those sort of things, or get into the recovery, like that sort of environment?
	Like, did that adjust any of the way that you were like thinking about having a family or relationship to anything?
	So thank God that I'm sober and where I am.
	I wish I had more time.
	I don't think anybody's ever like I'm ready.
	Uh I I don't I wouldn't know, but um I wish I had more time of sobriety, uh, because it's only been like a year and change.
	Um but I'm very grateful that it happened now and with the person uh with Elsie, because uh you know when in other relationships are when I was you know, I was I was a drug addict and you know, very mentally deranged, but like that was my goal.
	Like I need I need to have a kid, I need to get married, like because that's how I grew up.
	Like all my aunts and uncles got married at like 21, and they know and they knew each other since grammar school, and like they had three kids by 26.
	Oh, that's fire department statin on shit.
	Yeah, blue collar, meeting a burn unit and fucking yeah, yeah.
	So like a couple skin graphs, and then we're having one.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You know, yeah, like every music video, like you know, um, but uh I was so not ready.
	I was not, I didn't even know I still don't really know who I am.
	I think we're I'm learning.
	But uh I I there's no fucking way that that was possible.
	Um, and I almost think that's that's why it didn't happen because I was like, I need to do this, I have to do this.
	And um, you know, no one wanted to do that with me.
	Like you know, no one like you know, but I think I knew that, and that's why it was like and then I just then I just was I stopped dating and I was like, I need to uh fucking get better, and I need to like be in a place where I could even have a healthy relationship, and like if that comes, great.
	It's like you you can't like can't go into stuff with like this needs.
	I got like that's first of all, it's a lot of pressure on your partner, it's a lot of pressure on you, and you're like kind of setting yourself up for for failure, and it's like you know, I that was just like my whole upbringing was like that's how it works.
	So I think it was like kind of backwards for me, especially in this business.
	That's not how that works.
	Yeah.
	You know, because people have options.
	You know, when you're growing up in a small town, it's like there's these four girls we could you could pick from.
	Yeah.
	Like this is this is who I went to school with.
	You know, so um I'm really grateful it happened now, and I wasn't looking for a relationship or looking to, you know, obviously I wanted to, but I wasn't looking to have a baby, and it all just kind of happened at once, and it's been like awesome.
	Dang.
	Yeah, I'm like relieved it's her, and just it's yeah, I'm fucking excited, dude.
	It's awesome.
	And it's also like selfishly, like I get to be unselfish.
	Like I'm not the focal point of my life anymore.
	Where it's like so sick of myself.
	I'm fucking exhausted.
	Like I get like when I was we were exhausted of you, this is people.
	Yeah, no, I get it.
	Like now I like I get it.
	Like I was like, I do joking.
	No, I'm serious.
	I've I was just I was just I'd be like, yeah, I'd fucking I'd be annoyed too.
	Like I I didn't like how I didn't think that's how I was, and I think anybody that knows me knows that's not oh no, I was totally just joking.
	But I think there's you see people's faces so much.
	I just think like that's even how I feel, dude.
	I'll see a social media, I'll be like, God, somebody burned me down.
	I just like it's relentless.
	What else do we have to say?
	Like it's I still think it's too much, like you know.
	I I'm amazed by people who could you know who are super famous and do amazing work that just like you only see them when they're working.
	Yeah, and there's not like random articles like these two guys hung out, or he went to a Knicks game.
	It's like I'm so envious of people that are able to, you know, separate, you know, that that sort of life.
	Um, but yeah, it's it's tough though.
	It's tough because uh that they need shit to write about all day because our minds are so you know, every two hours you forget and then you want to read something else.
	So like it I think it's tough.
	It's tougher to be like that's someone's gonna be like, Oh, it's so hard to be a celebration.
	Okay, but like it's it's tougher.
	That's life, it's tougher now, and you know celebrities.
	We should just be able to hide.
	Remember, the only things we knew were Richard Gere was you know starting a pet store in his ass or whatever.
	Yeah, and what else?
	But then you see one of his movies and you're like, I don't care.
	Yeah, he's gonna set up shop, dude.
	This movie fucks.
	And you're and he's handsome.
	Hey, I'll even watch and do a little Doctor Doolittle, you know, this guy's a bro.
	That would have been a great sketch, dude.
	If he just that's if he just owned it, I bet he would have been able to beat that if he just did SNL and played Dr. Doolittle.
	But what a crazy story.
	That's so like that's one of there's so many stories where I'm just like, how did this ruin someone's life?
	Like there's the there's rumors that like great stories.
	Like Rod Stewart drank so much cum his stomach need to be pumped.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And I was like, dude.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I was like, that's well, when you're when you're in high school, you're like, oh yeah, fucking idiot.
	And then you're like 30, and you're like, that's not even possible, man.
	Dude, where do you even get that?
	Yeah, there's no there's there's no amount of cum in the world that you could.
	I wouldn't think I don't know.
	I think if you had a lot, it looks like I don't know.
	I've only seen somebody have a little.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like, where are you getting all this cum from?
	Well, that's another thing.
	That's another thing.
	I don't know.
	But yeah, I remember just and now it has plot microplastics in it a lot of it.
	Yeah, it's that's the craziest thing.
	Not non-GMO cum.
	Yeah, dude.
	Yeah, I come is even bad in America.
	You know, I'm not home a lot.
	You know, I can't keep a plant alive at the moment.
	But when I am home, my bedroom is it's like my sanctuary, you know.
	It's it's a sacred spot for sleep.
	Thankfully, I have a helix sleep mattress.
	God, I like it.
	I mean, I get on that thing and whoo, baby girl, four I know it's morning, and I'm feeling good.
	In fact, I like mine so much I got two of them.
	I put one of them in the guest room over there in case mom wants to come and just launch some of her dirty dreams into that thing.
	Because honestly, sleep matters more to me than ever.
	Especially when I'm on the go.
	If I'm home, you know it.
	Days are long.
	When you shut it down, it's time to shut it down.
	Getting real sleep on my helix sleep mattress makes all the difference.

	So did you think you were able to get over some of that stuff of like did you go to like certain types of therapy that would help you get through the stuff of like, or what did you learn about I need them for me to feel all right, right?
	Like do you do you think any of that actually adjusted?
	So like it got to a point where like here's the problem with going to therapy for like tabloid shit.
	They're like, your therapist is like, yeah, I don't know.
	Right.
	Like, I don't you're part of like a very small group of people.
	And then I would what really freaked me out was I like I would call Sandler or like Stiller or like you know, I was like, hey, when you when you were like young and saying back, I don't know about it.
	I never I never really got that.
	We'll deal with sucks, you know.
	And I'm like, oh fuck, I'm so alone in this, dude.
	And um like when you call the goats and the big d big dogs, and they're like, I don't fucking so it became a like it got to the point where I like wouldn't go outside and like I would stay inside, and then these articles would keep coming up, and like it's always like a source close to be.
	And I'm like, I don't even have friends anymore.
	I'm like, how who are these people?
	And then it got to a point where I was just like, I am not doing anything.
	This is running my life.
	Whether I am happy or go out or not, this is still gonna happen.
	I might as well like go fucking have fun.
	Like who the fuck cares?
	And then what really helped me was I would put someone else's name in the title of the article and see if I cared.
	Yeah.
	You know, it'd be like, you know, so and so like Hugh Jackman, so and so.
	So I'm like, oh, I don't really give a fuck.
	Yeah, you know, but when it's you, you're like, everybody's reading this, everybody when they look at me, this is what they think.
	And it's like it's not true.
	No one reads that shit.
	That's the truth, really.
	No one literally no one reads that shit except for like people in our shit.
	And the people that write it and the people that still give a fuck about it.
	But like you're like a bus driver, like they just like want to see you do the thing they like that you do.
	Like they want to see you in a movie, or they want like no one's like fucking, no one has time for that.
	But we're in this like bubble where it's like we think all this shit is like matters.
	Well, I think that's a scary thing about Hollywood.
	Scary thing that always kind of scared me about Hollywood in that sort of environment is it feels like they build you up and then they can all it's this cycle, right?
	They can't wait.
	Right.
	And it feels like it's dirty, but it's just the most opportune cycle.
	Every moment of it, there's a possibility for everything, right?
	And so it's look at Pedro Pascal right now.
	Fucking two years ago, you know, he's uh hard working, great actor.
	Eddington was great.
	You see it?
	Yeah, it's fucking great.
	We'll Joaquin and uh that guy fucking Arias is fucking he is good, huh?
	He's so good.
	He just makes it where I'm just like, I would never be able to think like that, you know.
	Um but everyone was like, he's worked so hard and you know, it's been a struggling actor.
	It fucking blows up so fucking hard, everyone's like, daddy, daddy, yeah, daddy, daddy, right?
	And then a year later, he's like in everything now because he's hot and and big, and everyone's like, go the fuck away, dude.
	It's like yo, give hope ice gets Pascal.
	It's like, what the fuck, dude?
	It's also just like you gotta give someone time to adjust to that new level of fame.
	Like, you know, he's been banging at it for 30 years, and now he's like he he's learning how to go get a cup of coffee or like deal with someone that like taps you on the shoulder while you have your earbuds in and freaks you out.
	Like, you gotta give that guy a fucking second to like adjust.
	Like, you know what I mean?
	And also, like, what happened?
	They're gonna do it with Walton Goggins will be next.
	They'll be like, What the fuck?
	You know, it's like we build everybody up, and now it's so fast.
	It's like so fast to turn.
	And then it's crazy.
	Bro, it's like within months.
	It's within months where you're like, what the fuck?
	Um is Timothy, huh?
	Yeah.
	Out here drinking homogenized milk, I've heard.
	Yeah, they'll be bringing him down soon.
	Ugh.
	Even like the, you know, like I know it's different, but like the thing with that hawk to a girl was so sad.
	Like, I remember just being like, This is sad.
	Yeah.
	Like she's not, you know what I mean?
	Like what's going on here?
	She's uh jerking them or something.
	She was kind of uh hypothetically BJ BJing a man or something on the interview, and then they got her into a meme coin or something.
	I was like, Yeah, she was like this sweet girl that's like everyone fell in love with her because like she's like you know, kind of normal and like just cares about pets, and everyone's like, This girl's actually cool, you know.
	Then does like one thing that didn't go the way everybody wanted it to, and like she doesn't know how to fucking run crypto.
	Like, I don't even know what fuck now.
	I don't even know what crypto is, dude.
	Are you kidding me?
	I if I can't hold it physically, like I don't fuck with it.
	Yeah, dude.
	And the fact that people were like, yeah, I'm fuck you, like this girl, this is who you're gonna everything going on in the world, and fuck this girl.
	Are you kidding?
	Like, leave her alone.
	Yeah, she had a pretty good blow job recipe, I thought you know, yeah.
	Like people are just I laughed.
	Yeah, you know, I mean god, this is the enemy.
	Oh, it's so crazy.
	It's crazy, dude.
	But I think it's I think as if you can get on the right side of your own self, right?
	Then you can be in control, or you can at least have some awareness.
	And that's where I think like the value is these days is the relationship you can have with yourself is more important than ever, and just understanding of what's going on, right?
	That this is how it is.
	And so let me be in control of myself and not um just at the whims of how do other people feel about me, just all these little things of tra you know, like all these addictive things, you know.
	It's like if the more you can get control over yourself, the better chance you have, you know.
	There's also part of you though that has to go through it to understand a little bit.
	Like, yeah, you know what I mean?
	Like I was also super judgy, like growing up, like fuck that dude.
	Like, this is an example I love to use.
	You remember when Christian Bale like yelled at that dude on the terminator set?
	Yeah, so I was like 12 years old when that audio came out.
	You want me to trash your fucking lights?
	You know, it's distracting, right?
	And I remember hearing that, and uh being I was 12, I was like, what an asshole.
	Fuck Christian Bale.
	You're a Batman, dude.
	You're yelling out like a lighting, dude.
	Ten years later, I made one movie.
	I was like, what the fuck did that lighting guy do?
	Yeah.
	To make Christian Bale so mad that he even knew who he was.
	Like, and then you and then I did some digging, and it's like the guy was in the shot.
	Yeah, he was on his phone.
	Oh, and Christian Bale's trying to cry to a terminator.
	He's a 35-year-old man trying to cry to a robot.
	Right in a bad These days is easy, but this is 20 years in a bad movie.
	Like horrible.
	Like he's trying to cry halfway through a bad movie, and there's a lighting guy fucking around in a shot.
	The lighting guy's over there doing these things and so it's like he was right, but like the world don't know that because not the world has not made a movie, like or like dealt with any of that stuff.
	There's no way to win, right?
	There's no way to win the thing where everybody likes you.
	It's all just a trap, you know.
	Yeah.
	Um, and they could smell it on you.
	And we don't know what people are going through.
	You don't know what Christian Bale's going through.
	Yeah, he's so good.
	He's unbelievable.
	It's also just like I remember, you know, before it sounds shitty to say, but before you're at a certain level or in this thing, like I remember I used to be like, oh, that guy's a fucking dick.
	Like you see like a video of someone being like, hey, can I take a picture?
	And they're like, hey man, I'm like eating, or like whatever.
	It's like, maybe that guy's like fighting with someone, or like maybe he's having a bad day.
	Maybe his grandpa is sick, or maybe he's just fucking hung over.
	Or there's so many reasons.
	Like, think about how you feel every day.
	You know, so we're just so quick to be like, oh, this guy's a fucking asshole.
	Yeah, maybe he's tired, dude.
	Maybe he's tired.
	Yeah.
	Maybe he has a maybe has a back.
	Maybe it's one of those things that are supposed to be working out your abs on.
	Yeah.
	Maybe he's in the fucking zone, dude.
	Yeah.
	He's locked.
	Locked in, dude.
	Oh.
	Um, oh, so the tour, let me find out the dates you're going on, too.
	I don't want to keep you too long, man.
	It's been a fun conversation, dude.
	Oh, dude.
	I love that.
	And I'm just glad to think some think about some of this stuff.
	Yeah, definitely.
	Right when you walked in, man, could see a whole different light in your eyes just overall, you know.
	No, thanks.
	Just like a warm energy that feels hopeful.
	And uh, it's not judgmental.
	I just but I see it in a lot of sober guys, you know.
	You see guys that just like they're feeling good, you know.
	And it's that so kind of me and awesome, like throughout I've I've I don't know if you remember, I've I remember you used to live in LA and we used to I used to run into you all the time at the improv and uh as I was a kid and getting older, and you were always so so kind and cool and oh thanks, yeah.
	And especially at times where uh people certain people weren't, or like the the popular thing was to be like fuck that dude, and you were just always awesome, and I always appreciated that.
	So well, thanks, Pete.
	That's nice of you.
	I know my friend Simon Rex thinks so highly of you, and who crispy?
	Uh crispy, baby.
	How about that dude?
	He's so great, huh?
	The turnaround.
	He helped me so much.
	One night he saw me do a set at the last actor and he tweeted about it.
	And it was like the first person that was like, I love Simon Sensa, what's cool, right?
	He just own thing.
	And unapologetically, just like he was like, This guy's act is cool.
	Something that just made me feel like, whoa.
	And that was like it's still one of the highlights of my whole life.
	And then um, yeah, I knew you guys have spent some time together over the years.
	Oh, he's the best, dude.
	We like lived together for a while.
	He's he's the fucking man, and also just like love, we all love uh a turnaround, man.
	Like, oh yeah, dude.
	His glow up, like crazy crazy red rocket.
	That movie was bonkers.
	That's the first movie premiere I ever went to was to see his red to see.
	Well, I guess you actually see his red rocket.
	Yeah, you kind of do.
	There's a wiener, I hope it's of uh an actor wiener or whatever.
	An actor wiener is hilarious.
	But yeah, I don't care if it's a damn wiener that we're paying for.
	Yeah, so oh yeah, that was fun, dude.
	Watching him.
	Yeah, and also just like uh, you know, when he got I remember I cried when uh he got that indie award.
	Yeah, like is it like it, you know.
	You see actors that are at the top of their game or you know, very wealthy, or you know, you know, not saying Simon's not, I'm just saying like you see people who are kind of used to that sort of reception, and it was like the most honest.
	If you guys are at home, watch Simon Rex win an indie spirit award, it's pull it up.
	You get so emotional, dude.
	Like it means so much to him, and like, you know, he's awesome and stuff, but like you know, he he was kind of in in a certain category.
	He would self-admittedly say, like, people not not that people didn't take him seriously, just like you're a silly goose sort of guy.
	Yeah, and he is a silly goose, and he is, but he found his own.
	He found like even a silly goose fucking can uh is full of golden eggs, you know.
	Simon uh Simon Baker, Simon Direct.
	Oh no, Sean Baker, Sean Baker, geez, I should I should probably know that name.
	Maybe I've put me in your movie.
	No, he's a really nice guy, but Sean Baker saw it like just saw the the magic in him.
	Yeah, you know what I mean.
	Well, the Florida project was way too fucking long, too.
	I'll say that, Sean Baker, and I'll say that shit with my chest.
	We played a little bit or skip some Simon gets it.
	Okay.
	What the fuck?
	Thank you, film independent for recognizing my fake penis right away.
	Yeah, silly goose.
	Um, where do I begin?
	Uh Sean Baker.
	Sean Baker, you took a shot on me when I could not get a call back for a Geico commercial.
	I couldn't get arrested.
	And this man believed in me and took a shot, and I'm so glad I delivered For you, Sean.
	Truly, you're a genius.
	Writer, director, editor, casting.

	And he decided to give me a shot, and I didn't want to let him down.
	And here I am.
	I honestly, my career was in the toilet.
	I gave up.
	I moved out to Joshua Tree and said maybe it's all over.

	Like she she really cared.
	And uh I feel like since me and my sister moved out and we're getting older, like she's she's kind of I don't want to talk in any sort of way about, but I feel like she's kind of bored and uh a little lonely.
	Um, I I've I've been like you should date, and she's like, nah, your dad was my guy, and I'm like, they don't make you you anymore, this woman, you know what I mean?

	Yeah, and I just grow the family, it's cool.
	You guys deserve it.
	Thanks, man.
	Yeah, I'm excited.
	I'm also like uh we're we're I don't know if if you have a huge family, but my I have six aunts and uncles, and they all have three, four kids, so there's like 40 cousins, and I was like, I was first in the paint to have a kid.
	So really, yeah.
	So I'm fucking so this baby's gonna get all the love.
	Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, so I'm stoked.
	That's gonna be awesome, man.
	I was just thinking real fast about um Silver Line Playbook.
	No, what a side.
	That's a good movie, man.
	It's so good.
	It's cool to think about it.
	God, I saw that the other I saw it like a couple weeks ago.
	Remember Chris Tucker was in it, right?
	You're like, oh shit, that's Chris Tucker.
	Dude, that movie is so good.
	Um no, the movie Frequency.
	Have you ever seen it?
	Jim Cavizel, Dennis Quaid.
	Yeah, dude.
	I got to do it.
	One of my favorite movies.
	It makes me think of you whenever I see it.
	Bro, yo, I've been waiting to talk frequency with someone my entire life.
	So I love that movie so much for obvious reasons.
	Yeah.
	But here's what's really funny.
	2002, that came out in what, 98 or 2000?
	Right.
	Good movie.
	So it's 2002, and my grandma for Christmas got me the frequency VHS or DVD.
	And she was like, You're gonna love this movie.
	And I watched it and I was just like, Why would she give it to me?
	Like, if it was not a movie at like eight years old, six months after my dad died, that I was like prepared to see, but it's literally the Pete Davidson fantasy.
	Yeah, so guys, you gotta Jim Caveasel is uh uh is fucking in the present.
	He's 30 years old, and his dad's dead, and he was a fireman, and his dad died like 20, 30 years ago or whatever, and uh he gets this old CB radio, and there's this weird thing going on in the sky, and he just like plugs it in one night because he's sad, and then his dad is on the other side 20 years ago talking, they talk to each other, they solve a crime, and they fucking and he comes back at the end and he changes the life trajectory, and I'm just like, oh my god.
	Yeah, I hope it happens.
	I really do, dude.
	There's a there's a legit part of me that's like sometimes I'll be an eBay and I'll be like CB radio.
	Yeah, working, working, not project working.
	I don't want a project, but yeah, it's my fantasy right there.
	Yeah, that'd be dope, or at least let me remake it, you know.
	I've been seeing like they're making like the show about 9-11, and I'm like, call me up, dude.
	I just I should be grandfathered into those projects.
	I should get I should get a piece of those.
	The power of uh, but it's the power of filmmaking and stuff.
	Man, this movie filled in little spots for I think anybody who is who's who had a father, didn't have a father, just it it fills in little pieces, Right?
	And I think that's what art does for people, man.
	I think you're gonna be able to do a lot of that for people in the future if you want, man.
	It's also so exact.
	That's so good.
	You ever have a do you have a movie like that where you're like, this is about me?
	This is my dream.
	I kind of think like Family Man sometimes, that's the movie I love the most.
	Yeah, with Nicolas Cage, that holiday movie, the Christmas movie.
	And I don't even know why, but that's like the and then a league of their own about lesbianism or whatever in the 40s or whatever.
	I love Zero Dark 30.
	I haven't seen Zero Dark 30.
	Oh, dude, I like jerk off to it.
	It's about sealed team six taking out Osava Bin Laden.
	It's fucking awesome.
	We'll show them, you know?
	Yeah.
	Uh but this one thing that I did, I saw Dennis Craig one time, and I said, Man, Frequency is, I think, one of my favorite movies ever and he goes.
	He goes, It's one of my favorite movies.
	Dude, say, I told him at the Montreal Comedy Festival.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	He's like cool and like out and about and I ran some and I was like, hey, like I had like tears in my eyes.
	I was like, you like you changed my life like that.
	He was like, hey man, I love that movie too.
	Like I was like, yes.
	Yes.
	Pretty cool.
	Yeah, he's awesome.
	We went to the same dentist for a while.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, we were just in that same.
	You know that uh when you lived in LA, you know that like he passed Fairfax as just that giant, like that office building.
	Yeah.
	And he just would always be in there at the same time.
	Oh, dude, look, you look you look hot, dude.
	Uh definitely was having a tough time.
	He actually got a fight in the parking lot on the way out.
	That I believe.
	Someone said frequency sucks.
	And he was like, I'm saying Pete Davis's life.
	Yeah, it was a d I don't know, it was some sort of a dispute in the parking lot.
	Yeah, but it was a true story, and God bless him.
	And Randy Quaid.
	We almost had him.
	Me and Spade wrote a movie and we almost had Randy Quaid in it, but he couldn't get back into the country.
	Yeah, what's going on?
	He's on like the run from the authorities.
	It's a lot of things.
	We're looking to have him on, so maybe he'll come and talk to us about it.
	Yeah, dude.
	He's a legend, dude.
	Oh, yeah, dude.
	He was the Quaid at one point.
	Yeah.
	He was the main Quaid.
	And now Jack is.
