We up? We're up. What up, dawg? Look at you, ballin' out of control, two sold-out arena shows for Kill Tony, New Year's Eve, let's fuckin' go, and in town.
Amazing.
You get to do an arena show, a ten-minute drive from your apartment. Yeah. Dude, you're ballin' out of control. Look at you, son. We're pumped.
Wearin' pajamas to work. I love it.
This is a full Jordan sweatsuit.
I thought it was pajamas. I was like, Tony came in all casual in his PJs.
There's stuff that I wanna wear to do stand-up in that I can't do stand-up in, but during the day, it's like...
You can do stand-up in that. Oh, I can't. You 100% could.
I've literally put it on, and then, like, right before I leave, I go and change into black pants and a black hoodie.
One of my biggest mistakes ever is, like, I get high, and then I get dressed.
It's a terrible idea.
Yeah. It's a terrible idea. I'll be wearin', fuckin' raincoats and shit.
Yeah, I have a bunch of... I've been dressing very eccentric during the days lately. It's fun.
It's fun. Why not? Why shouldn't you? You're a baller now. Yeah.
Yeah. And then at nighttime, at the last second, I get scared.
Sorta. You still wear that crazy belt buckle.
Oh, I wear the belt buckles everywhere. I got more. Someone just sent me a Golden Pony made of gold. that says Golden Pony in big letters. I've been...
My homie, BonesEye. that makes all those leather joke books on Kill Tony just showed me one that he's almost finished with, which is the alien head of the mothership. with the two Kill Tony guns crossed over. I mean, a big one, dude. You're gonna fuckin' love it.
So now people know that I like belt buckles, so they're goin' out and fuckin' getting me custom-made belt buckles.
Boom. Cody Garbrandt gave me a gold chain that his jeweler made, and on one side is my face, and on the other side is my dog's face.
Have you worn it yet?
No.
Let me tell you something.
I tell my wife she has to wear it. She goes, I'm gonna wear it with the dog's face on. I go, the fuck you are. You wear it with my face out. Wear it everywhere you go.
But if you try that on when you're chillin' at home one day, and you're just wearing shorts or something, and you throw that chain on, you might never take it off.
No, I'm afraid to ignite the Italian in me.
Exactly.
I'm afraid to start wearing gold chains and shit and pinky rings.
100%. that's what happens.
I don't wanna ignite that part of me. Yeah. When Mike Tyson was fat, one of the things that he said he did wanna work out, he goes, I'm afraid, to ignite my ego. Because it did. It ignited his ego.
Then he became Mike Tyson again. He goes, I'm afraid, to... What was his exact quote when he decided to fight again? He said something like the gods of war. Yeah, there it is.
That's baller as fuck. Oh, my God.
Cody can wear shit like that because he's a cool dude. I'm an old dork. I can't be wearing that.
Oh, that's a good gateway.
I like the Marshall one, though. I'll wear that. That dog's the best. Golden Retrievers are literally the greatest dogs of all time. They're so different than any other dog ever.
They're like people. They're so weird. Yeah. They're so tuned in. There's all these different things that I say to that dog, where he knows exactly what I'm talking about.
But it's not like, sit, give me your paw. It's like, hey, man, you wanna watch TV? And he just goes running with me into the TV room. Wow. And he hops up on the couch with me and cuddles with me.
Amazing.
He's just a, my friend Mike says they're all love sponges. That's what it is. It's like a love sponge. Yeah.
I've been thinking about getting a dog, but everybody's told me not to until I'm done with the road.
Yeah, don't. Don't. It's a real problem. You feel bad. You feel bad.
Your dog is at a, like, getting dog sit, or, you know, your friend is over your house and they're probably not paying attention to the dog or walking the dog. You know, this dog's the happiest dog that I've ever had, but he's also the dog that I put the most time with. Like, we spend a lot of time together. Like, I throw the ball for him every day. When we lived in California, we ran the hills all the time.
It's like we have a relationship. I take him to the studio. He sits in the, he always throws up in the car unless he's in my car and he's in the front seat. If you're petting him, he won't throw up. Huh.
But if he's in the back seat, you're going to hear, you're going to hear.
It's just something about motion. You know, some dogs, they get in the car and that's why they like to stick their head out the window. I think they don't like the motion, too. They don't like that. It just feels, why are we moving?
Like, they don't understand. They're sitting and they're moving. They're probably in their dog brain. It's like, what is this?
I got to see my old dog from L.A. that I haven't seen in like two and a half years or something like that. Maybe three years. A few weeks ago, I did a show in San Diego and my ex came to the show, Big Theater. And they made it down to the green room and it was like one of those old soldier reunion videos.
Oh, it was unbelievable. She never forgets. It was great.
Yeah, when a dog really loves you. Yeah. My oldest daughter has a little chihuahua-whippet mix named Snoop. And whenever I see Snoop, he just runs towards me. Like, full blast.
Like, literally knows I'm going to pick him up. So he, kind of like almost launches himself to me. He just runs up to me, launches himself to me, and I carry him. He only wants to be carried. Like, everywhere.
He wants to give you little kisses on your face and you want you to carry him.
Amazing.
And he's just so cool. But he's a little annoying. And if you watch TV with him, if you're not petting him, he'll paw your face.
Oh.
Yeah, he'll start doing this. Like, hey man, don't do that. Stop doing that. Wow. But, you know, he's like four.
Like, I can't really train him now. But I hate, dude, don't fucking, do that. He's like, then fucking, pet me. It's like this thing where you get this little chihuahua on your lap. And I'm like, come on, but don't do my face like that.
Come on, man. He's like, then pet me. Then pet me. And you just got to keep your hand on him. You can't just keep your hand on him.
You have to move it. You can't. You got to rub him.
The second, you stop moving it, he paws your face. Oh.
Keep rubbing me, bitch.
Wow. What a life. Dogs have it made.
This dog does, though. He's just a fucking little love bug. It's funny because little dogs are generally like they're a little weirded out by people sometimes. Not this one. The moment I met him, he just jumped.
He jumps to everybody. Everybody's like, you're my friend. Like, everyone's my friend. He just has no worries about people not being his best friend. Just runs right up to him.
He's not scared of people. Some little dogs are like just weirded out by people.
Yeah. David Lucas's little puppy is adorable.
He's got a little French bulldog, right? Ron had that one that got snatched up.
Yeah.
I found some feathers in my yard the other day, and I was worried. one of the chickens got it. Got snatched. But it's something else. Some other bird.
We have foxes.
Yeah. Do those come out at night?
They come out in the morning. I've seen them in the morning. I've seen them at night, too, driving. But we've got security camera footage of them. It's pretty cool because the security camera is very high resolution.
So it gives the video this cool-looking little animal. And they make a weird noise. You ever heard a fox?
Uh-uh.
Oh, God. It's so strange.
What does it sound like?
I don't want to do it. You're good at animal noises. I'll do it if I hear it. I want to hear it again. Because I forgot exactly how it sounds.
There's so many animal noises I have in my head.
We still laugh about. the other night a few weeks ago. We were all wasted, for some reason, doing wolf impressions in Mitzi's. And you came and sat down. We're like, Joe, show us your wolf impression.
And you did an actual wolf. We were just howling like morons. You sounded like there was a wolf in the distance.
Listen to this thing.
It's like a scream. That's it.
Oh, that's frightening.
Yeah, but when you see them, they're so cool-looking. Like, I wouldn't be sad if you only ate, like, one of my chickens. Don't eat all my chickens, motherfucker. Because then I have to kill you. Yeah.
But you can get one chicken. One stupid chicken. Fox sounds.
Yeah, that's what they sound like.
Fox sounds is the only fox channel I don't watch regularly.
I have so many animal noises in my head.
I watched this video yesterday. Have you ever heard a cat mimic a bird?
No. What? Really?
I mean, I'll be honest. It doesn't sound exactly like a bird, but this does not sound like a cat.
Oh, wait a minute. That's a... Oh, yeah.
It does different animals out here.
Did you know that I had a bit about that? Really? Yeah. Yeah, I had a bit about this cat that I used to have. that was a big old fluffy cat.
This, like, cute little cat, until it saw something outside. And then it became murderous. And, like, they have this... They do this thing when they want to bite. So, like...
It's so weird that you're a beautiful little cat. That was before the JRE. So, I didn't know the statistics about cat murder. It wasn't before the podcast. Before an episode, rather.
We talked about how many fucking birds and mammals get murdered by cats every year.
Yeah.
Fucking billions, dude. In America, billions of mammals and birds get murdered by cats.
Scary animal. I had an angry one when I went to college. My brother did, and I lived with my brother. And there were two cats, Hops and Misty. And Hops was cool as fuck, jumped up on the ceiling.
Just jumped all the time. Loved jumping. And Misty was, like, this angry bitch that would just... It's like... You don't really get used to that.
There's something, even as a human, that's 30, 50 times its size. It's like...
Yeah, you don't want to fight a cat. Right. If a cat was trying to fight... Think of a rat was trying to fight you. You'd be freaked out.
Yeah. Just a little rat. Yeah. Dude, everything can kill you. Everything can kill you.
That's one of the more exciting things about hunting in, like, mountain lion territory. Your hackles are always up. The chances of them trying to kill you are very low. The chances of them killing you, if they want to, are very high. Wow.
Damn.
They're very high. If you get snatched up by a mountain lion, you have almost no chance.
So, for that, you have, like, a pistol on your side, though.
Yeah, you should keep a pistol if you're in mountain lion territory. If you're in bear territory, you keep a large gun. Not... Most guys carry rifles, but they'll also carry... Like, if they're bow hunting, they'll carry probably a .45 or a 10mm.
A big gun. A gun with a heavy round, and still, you're fucked. They're so big. You don't know how big a bear is until you see one in the flesh, on the ground, in front of you. Yeah, this is one that's...
This is somewhere in Europe. I think that's a stag. And this bear is just fucking dragging this 300lb stag around the way you would drag your luggage. I mean, that's a big animal. It's bigger than 300lb.
I think that might even be an elk. It's either a stag or an elk, but, I mean, that's a solid 500lb animal.
And that bear is just fucking mauling it. And it's not even a big bear. That's not a big one. The really, really, really scary ones are the Alaska ones. The Alaska ones are insane.
My friend Steve Rinella told this story on the podcast, as did my friend Remy Warren, who was there as well, where they got attacked by an enormous coastal brown bear. It was like 11ft.
Enormous. It had claimed the elk that they shot. They shot an elk on a hunting trip.
Oh, shit.
And the way Alaska is, they were on this place called the Fognak Island. And the Fognak Island is insanely dense. And so if you're going to pack out, if it's like a certain time at night, like, say, if you shoot the animal and it's like 5pm and it gets dark at 8pm, you can't get it out in time. It takes a full day. And you can't manage your way through that brush in the dark.
It's too dense. You go on a mile, it takes you hours. Hours and hours to go a mile. Because it's just so dense. You're just moving through everything.
And so they hung this elk up, and they took some of the meat back with them, and then they went back in the morning to pack it out. It's cool, so you don't have to worry about the meat going bad. They didn't realize when they got there that a bear had already found it. And the bear had claimed it. And so they said, let's sit down and eat lunch before we pack out.
So we'll fuel up before we pack out, because it's a long pack.
So at that point they didn't know that there was a bear.
They had no idea. So these guys are all planning to carry like 100 pounds each on their backs. And they're going to go miles and miles through this dense shit. It's going to take forever. So they're like, let's eat.
So they're sitting there eating, and someone hears something. And they turn, and they see a fucking monster of a bear running straight at them in the camp. And the bear probably didn't realize there were so many of them. And that's maybe the only thing that saved them, because they kind of scattered. And one guy, this dude they call Dirtmouth, he was actually riding the bear's back at one point.
For like 10 yards on top of the bear's back. And then fell off, and the bear ran off. And so the bear was in the woods like watching them, making noises, like woofing them.
Making these noises. And now they got their rifles out, but no one had a rifle out. No one had anything out. They were all just eating sandwiches.
Wow.
My friend Remy said he had his gun in his bag.
So let's say you had a gun on your side like that.
Jesus Christ. What do you do? Because that thing ran past them. What if you shot it, and it turned around and ran back?
Does the noise scare them at all?
Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. And it depends on where you are. Some of them have never seen a person before.
What if you had one of those air horns? that's like...
No. No. No. The bear spray doesn't even work all the time.
It's just an embarrassing way to die. Just...
And then it'll just fucking tear you apart. Bear spray doesn't even work all the time. Because that spray that they use... My friend John, he runs a hunting camp in Alberta. The Rivets.
John and Jen. They're awesome people. And John had an encounter with a grizzly, and he sprayed it. And he said the bear didn't even react. He said he just kind of walked right through the spray.
I was like, oh, fuck. Imagine if that's all you have, is this spray, and you're counting on this saving you from the bear. And he just fucking... It's like, you ever seen those videos where dudes get tased, and they just fucking take it? The cops are tasing the guy.
Get down! Get down! He's like... Like, this dude's PCP'd up or something, and he fucking pulls those cords out of him. I'm like, now what?
Right.
Now what? Now, your cords are on the ground.
Bro, I've only seen one grizzly bear in the wild in my life. They look at you so different. They look at you so different. We were talking about this on Bottom of the Barrel the other day. Because, like, a black bear is a different animal.
Black bears look at you like, who are you? Are you going to eat me? Am I going to eat you? What's going on? Like, black bears?
look... Grizzly bears, look at you like this. Like, how fast can you run? Oh, God. There's a...
Yeah. There's a darkness in their eyes, dude. That's just... It's... That's a predator with no...
That's the apex. They're not scared of nobody other than bigger bears. Right. That's all they're scared of. And the one I saw, man, he wasn't even that big.
He was like a six-foot bear, like a younger bear. Maybe seven foot. Maybe not that big. The big ones, when you get like 10, 11 feet. Oh, my God, dude.
Jeez.
They're just massive killing machines. And they're so durable. That's the thing about them. that's so crazy. When you watch them fight, they beat the fuck out of each other.
And they don't even seem to have marks on them. They're biting the shit out of each other's necks. Although there is one that I saw recently, where it looked like the bear got the other bear in the guts. And he just made a giant gash in his stomach. And they were going to war, like, on the side of this...
Well, this one person's filming them in the woods.
So, if that thing's coming after, you, man, your frame... Like, we're talking about a cat. That's what that is. It's like the same kind of thing. It's a wild animal, just much bigger.
Like, your brain is not even going to correctly compute how much stronger they are than you. It's an impossible number.
That's crazy.
And if you've ever seen them run, they can run faster than people can run.
Yeah, so these two dudes. These two dudes going at each other.
Like, if that's coming after you, man, these are a thousand pounds.
They're just biting the shit out of each other.
They're trying to tell the other one, get the fuck out of here. This is all my food. These are all my ladies. Get out of here.
Bro, imagine you're in the woods and you stumble upon that.
That one's pretty dominant there on the right.
Yeah, that's a bigger bear. The young one is...
Yeah, these bears don't know jujitsu. There's no benefit in bottom position. Really?
Some of them do. No, there's no benefit in bottom position, in bear fighting. Right. No, they don't have submissions, but they do have some little hip moves. Little hip escapes, and they do position themselves to hold you down.
Seems like they've got some experience. They'll do side control. They're biting the neck and holding them down like this. If you're a bear and you're on the bottom, you're in a bad spot.
There's no Charles Olivares of the bear world. There's no Paul Craigs of the bear world.
There's a bit of judo. They use the other one's energy.
Yeah, a little wrestling.
I was watching a funny clip earlier. Chappelle said that Prince judoed him. Have you seen this? Prince took the picture of Dave Chappelle playing Prince serving pancakes. He took that picture and put it on an album cover before he passed away.
And made that the cover to one of his last albums. And Chappelle said, he judoed me. Oh, this is it. Yeah, this is great.
Single. Gosh. That makes me so happy that that happened. That just made me so happy. That's a Prince judo.
move right there.
Yeah, watch this.
Well, no, it's like, you know, you make fun of Prince in a sketch and he'll just use you in his album. He uses your own joke against yourself. What am I going to do? Sue him? Well, you can picture me dressed up like it was impossible.
It's genius. It's checkmate right there.
Amazing. God, I love Dave.
Those fucking sketches back in the day were so impactful.
His show's the best show that's ever existed. The best comedy sketch show. No doubt. And it's only two seasons. Yeah.
Which is so crazy. That, and In Living Color. People sleep on In Living Color. In Living Color was wild. I remember I was playing pool once with my friend John.
And I had no idea of the sketches. I didn't understand. I think it was like a Super Bowl thing. Like, did they do one where the halftime they had an In Living Color? Something like that.
They did, right? So, that was the first time I'd watched it. At the pool hall. And I was like, oh my God. This dude is doing Fire Marshal Bill.
Jim Carrey's doing it. I was like, this is crazy. This is the craziest show ever.
Dude, that shit fucking razed me. I mean, all of it.
Bro, Handyman?
Yep.
He had a mentally handicapped superhero? Jesus Christ, he was called Handyman?
Oh, so funny.
Dude, I tell everybody. People forgot how good Damon Wayans is. They forgot. For whatever reason. Because he decided to become a TV star and a movie star.
Dude, when that guy was doing stand-up, he was like Chappelle level. He was, at his time, he was the guy that I admired the most. Like, in his prime. Because he was in his prime when I was just starting to get to L.A. Dude, he was so good.
His stand-up was so good.
They were all a bunch of store guys. Like, Jim Carrey was young on this.
Well, Damon always hung out at the store. He would hang out at the store and create comedy. Like, on stage. He would just start. He didn't worry at all about silence, about dead spaces.
He was using it the way. Mitzi wanted people to use it. Like, as a lab. To create stuff. And Damon films all of his sets.
So, he has a tape recorder, like a camera in the back. He films all of his sets. He's had all of his sets since the 90s. He's been doing that. Wow.
He just got that TV money, baby. Yeah. That TV money came rolling in. It's like, I could just hang out at the house. There's Sam Kinnison.
Sam Kinnison in living color.
Cut to the Jamie Foxx sketch.
Bro, that's right.
We're going to try to get a word from him right now. Here he comes now. Coach, can we get a word from you real quick? Now, what did you tell your players before they left the locker room? Well, what I told them was just relax and concentrate and play some ball.
I mean, you know, you leave the candy. I don't know if the sketch is going to air.
No, that's okay. It was a great show, man. So, those, in my opinion, those are the two greatest sketch shows.
Oh, yeah. The cast on that is absolutely insane.
I mean, think of that cast. Just the fucking Fly Girls. It's Jennifer Lopez. What?
Doesn't say a thing.
Jennifer Lopez. In the background. How much talent do they have on that fucking show? Yeah. And Kenan was a great fucking talk show host, too.
Kenan made some great movies. And he was great on the Kenan Ivory Wayans show. He was fun, man.
Fire Marshall Bill was based off of the actual West Hollywood Fire Marshall.
Yeah, who got burnt up. Yeah. It was like an electoral thing, right? Yeah.
So, Jim Carrey was trying to, like, come up with characters while sitting in the phone room at the Comedy Store. It's like a legendary thing that you hear about, at least back when I got hired as a phones guy there. Because in the hallway, straight down the hallway, there was this old fire hose that, at the time, it's gone now, I'm positive. But at the time, it looked like it hadn't been changed in fucking 40 years. Like, this old, it would never work.
It was like dried up old hose wrapped up. And you get told the story that Jim Carrey was sitting at that desk, facing down that hallway, tapping the pencil on his head, trying to come up with more character ideas. And this burnt up, half a hair, cross-eyed, fucking missing his top lip, scars all over, one eye closed, guy came in, checking everything in the electrical sockets and putting butter knives in the sockets. And Jim Carrey's just sitting there writing it all down.
Oh, my God. Oh, God. The store was such a fun place for, like, chaos and misfits. Oh, yeah. It was, we used to always say, like, we were in the back parking lot, like some schizophrenic person would come back there, we were like, this place is like a magnet.
Yeah. It's a magnet for insane people.
Yep.
It really is. Like, all across the board. Like, the original talent coordinator of the comedy store, when he got fired and then Duncan became the talent coordinator, I'm like, who the fuck is this guy? When I first started talking to Duncan, we became friends from conversations we'd have over the phone. Because I'd call him, like, hey, man, did you hear this Rom Toss thing?
Like, he'd start talking.
Yeah.
We'd start talking about wild shit.
Dude, he's a fucking genius, bro. I messaged him yesterday because Lil Hobo was a guest on Kill Tony and it was so, so funny. I loved it. A lot of people, a lot of the fans, hated it because they didn't like Lil Hobo's voice. But, like, I, don't care.
Yeah, but that's reading comments.
Right, exactly. You can't. Well, no, I get my reports from the producers. But yeah, basically, yeah, they told me that.
But they read the comments. Exactly. Yeah, don't read the comments.
But anyway, but I loved it so much, I don't give a fuck what the masses say. So, I asked Duncan, I go, and it's like a leak of information, but I don't care. I asked Duncan yesterday, I go, hey, I want Lil Hobo to make a video that's gonna air during the arena. Like, he's taking over the show for a second. Can we come over and shoot just a quick hour shoot?
Anytime this week, you name it, we'll show up. He goes, Lil Hobo's agent is with CAA, his name is Steven Lebowitz. He's been a real, Lil Hobo's been a real diva lately and he started sending me AI songs that he can make in like two minutes about how I'm not gonna do this and I'm bigger than everything.
He just sent me one. He just sent me some AI songs.
Oh, it's, they're all hysterical.
I didn't even listen to it. Should we listen to it here? Yeah. Hold on a second.
He sent me like seven songs. He's like, Lil Hobo's making an album, so he's probably not gonna wanna work with you. He goes, he was complaining the other day that you stole his idea for a variety show.
All these texts.
Okay, the healthy lifestyle. He said, dude, I found an AI that instantly makes songs about anything you want and made this in less than a minute. So let's hear it. Let's hear it. I haven't heard it yet.
Yeah, he's doing well. He's a leader, a motivator, a true inspiration. Always preaching about health, no exaggeration. He wakes up every morning, hits the gym real hard. Lift the weights, running miles.
He's a health rock star, but it's not just about the physical. Nah, it's more than that. He promotes eating clean. Gotta feel your body fat. David Lucas, showing us the way.
Big box apple, keeping healthy every day. Gotta eat right, gotta exercise, no doubt. He's the one that's pushing us to break.
Made it in less than a minute, he said.
David Lucas eating clean.
Imagine if David Lucas made a 180..
He's about 480 right now.
But imagine if he made a 180..
It'd be great. I hope so. I love it. I'd love a story like that. I'd get to make fun of all the extra skin hanging off of his body.
He would think the jokes would end. They would just begin.
This episode is brought to you by SimpliSafe. If you think of thieves, you probably think of shady people dressed in all black, sneaking around under the cover of night.

Yeah. That's a heavy operation, too. Your skin is an organ. People don't like to think about it that way. But if your organ has to get cut open and pieced back together, that's real shit.
That's real shit. And you run the risk of infection. And infections can fucking kill you, man. Like, you shouldn't take that kind of surgery lightly. One guy apparently avoided that.
And this is like, I don't know if he's like, see, people have different genetics, apparently, when it comes to skin. Which is why some women get crazy stretch marks and some women don't.
Yeah.
You know, some dudes, they get real fat and then they lose the weight and then they look great and ripped. And other dudes have all this, like, weird extra skin. Even guys that don't lose too much weight. If you lose, like, 100 pounds or 50 pounds. Some guys have, like, crazy extra skin.
Like, dudes that I know. And other guys are just like, you don't look like you're ever fat. This is crazy. So this dude apparently went on a water fast for 365 days. He was really fat.
And he just had IV vitamins and water. First of all, what kind of discipline? How do you have the kind of discipline to do that? He went from 382 days, excuse me, without eating. Okay.
In 1965, 27-year-old Angus, he fasted for one year and 17 days, ate no food at all, and lost 125 kilograms, which is 19.7 stone. Oh. No. Everyone knows what that is.
Yeah, I have no idea.
125 kilograms is like, I think it's 2.2.. So that would be 200, 300 pounds. What does that weigh? What is 125 kilograms in pounds?
It's 2.2.. 260 is 270..
270.. 270.. Okay. So he lost that much. So he lost 270 pounds.
Jesus Christ.
He weighed like 480 or something like that.
Okay. Angus, reportedly sick of being obese. So he checked into the University Department of Medicine at the Royal Infirmary of Dundee. He weighed 207 kilograms. So that's 440, 450..
What is 207 kilograms? Yeah, roughly that. 450.. He told the hospital staff he was ready to cut out food altogether. So doctors happily agreed to monitor his progress.
Oh, so he did it with the doctors. He's like, I don't want to eat anymore. Wow, that's crazy. They didn't expect the fast to last long, but they thought that a short fast would help him to lose some weight. To compensate for his lack of nutrients, he was prescribed multivitamins to take regularly, including potassium and sodium, as well as yeast.
As days turned to weeks, Angus' persistence increased. The Scott wanted to reach his reported ideal weight of 180 pounds. Wow. So he kept going, much to his doctor's surprise. Angus would attend hospital visits frequently and often stay overnight.
He received regular blood tests, all which revealed his body was remarkably functioning just fine. As weeks turned into months, he compensated for his lack of food by drinking more black tea, black coffee, and sparkling water, all of which are calorie free. His body began to adapt to the lack of food by burning its own fat stores for energy. For the last eight months, Angus' blood glucose levels were consistently very low, 2 millimole per liter, but Scott did not suffer any adverse effects as a result. In the final few months, he began to have a pinch of sugar or milk in his tea and coffee.
For those wondering, he went to the toilet every 40 to 50 days. He shit every 50 days. What is he shitting? If you don't eat for 150 days, what are you shitting? Angus eventually called it quits after 382 days, having finally reached his dream weight of 180 pounds.
Wow. According to Chicago Tribune Report, he had forgotten the taste of food before his first meal. after the fast. He ate a boiled egg with a slice of bread and butter for his first breakfast, telling reporters, I thoroughly enjoyed my egg and I feel very full.
Wow.
Yeah, that's weird.
I just, I wonder what happened to him after that, if he kept it off.
He said he died five years later. He was 192..
He died? How old was he?
Oh, he remained at a comfortable weight five years later, now 196..
So he only gained 16 pounds from eating. That's pretty amazing.
It's weird that they switched to pounds there at the end.
Yeah, that is weird. Yeah. Is that in an English article? What's the article?
Diabetes.co.uk
Yeah, UK. They're weird over there. They spelled tires with a Y. Like, what are you doing? Can we agree?
Isn't this the English language? Yeah. We invented tires, bitch. We did.
America?
Henry Ford.
Really?
I don't know.
Good year, BFGoodrich.
Well, Henry Ford invented the car, but I feel like there was a French guy that came along before Henry Ford that invented the internal combustion engine. Is that correct? Like, who invented the internal, who invented the very first automobile? Ford was the first to manufacture it.
Yeah, he just fixed the assembly line.
Right.
I know in Akron, Ohio, they mastered the tire. They're still kicking them out there. That's where the big Goodyear factory is. Yeah.
BFGoodrich.
Four people popped up.
You know what's really weird about tires? They haven't figured out a way to not have them be filled with air and have them perform as good as the ones that are filled with air. It's a stupid thing.
First commercially successful internal combustion engine is created by, say that guy's name, Etienne Noua, around 1860.. Is that in France? Is that the French guy?
I guess. We have four people's names popped up.
Oh, different guys who made it?
I'm guessing the guy with the last name, Otto, probably did.
I like that guy's name, just because I can't say it.
1860.. Okay, first modern internal combustion engine known as the Otto engine, 1876.. So one guy created it and the other guy was like, I could do it better. And then he made it better, which is what always happens. Internal combustion engine usually refers to it.
That's just what always happens.
The diesel engine was invented by Rudolf Diesel.
Oh, that's a good name for it.
Oh, no shit. Yeah. Diesel. I wonder if Shaq knows that. You think he changed his name?
He's got so many nicknames.
Shaq? Yeah. Yeah.
He's actually really good at making them up too.
Yeah, Shaq's the fucking man. Yeah. You ever want to feel tiny, shake that dude's hand. It's like shaking a person, like a whole person instead of a hand. He's so big.
It's insane.
He's so big.
The rock was huge too.
Yeah, how fun was it to work out with a rock? I called Tony Hinchcliffe at like 10 o'clock in the morning. I'm like, what are you doing?
It's crazy.
You want to work out with a rock today?
I was so hungover. It was hilarious. I remember I was still on my side when I took the call. Because your phone rings a long way to the top. if you want to rock and roll.
I'm like, oh shit, what is this going to be? I'm like, yo. He's like, you want to work out with a rock? I'm like, yes. He's like, up.
I really feel like sometimes that we're not really doing this.
Dude, it's so funny you mention that. Literally last night in the fucking green room of the mothership, I go, I'm talking to Hank. Big Hank is sitting there because he's a big Sopranos fan. And I go, dude, I did this podcast with the kids from the Sopranos a few days ago. And it was like we grew up together.
It was like we're brothers and sisters because we are all the same age. And I kind of lived very different, but kind of the same way, was living vicariously that type of life. But different. But with them. Growing up, it was a show that I could relate to.
And I go, I think I'm like running out of, like cool things to manifest. Like I can't, I don't even know what's left for me. And right then, Brigham brings in some guy who I don't recognize immediately. And I shake his hand and I'm like, damn, man, look at you. I feel like you've killed a lot of people.
Or something like that. I said. I was just being goofy. And Brigham goes, you know Ray? And I realize it's Ray Mysterio Jr., one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, who I've been watching for three fucking decades.
Multi-time heavyweight champion. And he's famously the small guy. So for me and Matt Edgar and every fucking guy just under 40 that wasn't huge or like physically gifted, he was one of our guys. I mean that's who you like cheered for. He was known as the giant killer because he would beat the big guys.
He'd beat guys that were seven feet tall. He would shock them doing little guy shit. And I didn't even recognize him at first.
In my day there were two guys that I really loved. The number one guy was Jimmy Superfly.
Fuck yeah. Oh, I remember.
And Superfly would get on that top rope. And he would do this. And he would fucking fly off. What is that called when you land on someone?
That's technically a full body press.
Full body press?
Actually, the full body press is when you lift them over your head and do that, which you would also do.
So when you throw yourself through the air. A splash. So that was Jimmy Superfly's snooker move. Yeah. When he would get on the top rope.
Oh yeah.
And the other guy was Bob Backlund.
Yeah.
And the reason why I like Bob Backlund, I'm like. I bet Bob Backlund would fuck all these dudes up. Because I understood technique. Yeah. I was like no, no, no.
That's a real wrestler. Like. look how he moves. He moves like a real wrestler. All those other guys are doing crazy shit.
Jimmy Superfly's snooker did it off the fucking top of the cage. That's so insane. How bad is that for your knees? And your back. And your brain.
Look at the size of him. He was fucking huge too. Oh yeah. Get some Bob Backlund. Show me some Bob Backlund.
Oh man.
Bob Backlund was a legit wrestler.
He played his role so perfectly because I hated him when I was a kid. I was part of that last regime where he was still there when I was like 3, 4, 5, 6.. Yeah. And Hogan was just about to beat him and start like taking over. But he was just this old, boring, with his blue tights and blue knee pads.
Right? And like white shoes. Yeah. And I'm just like who is this guy?
That's what I like.
Yeah. It wasn't my thing as a kid. I needed something larger than life.
No. I like that dude who looks like a regular athlete. Like this guy.
Bob Backlund. This is him way after his prime.
I remember seeing him. But I remember seeing him and like, right away I'm like, oh, that's a real wrestler. That guy's going to fuck that dude up. That's a real wrestler. Yeah.
If you know, wrestling, like that's what a fucking killer's built like.
Look at like Sluger, looking at this guy like what the fuck are you doing?
Killers are never built like that. Except for Brock. Brock is the only guy who's like a killer. Well, even Alexander Karellin, who's the great, he wasn't built like a bodybuilder. What is that move?
Nonsense. Fucking insanity. It's the nonsense move. It's nonsense.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh, the old. You mentioned that working in a fight and everybody just going. oh.
Just tapping your butt. How about that move? Why doesn't anybody do that in a fight?
The old sunset flip.
Oh, it didn't work.
I know all the names of these stupid moves, by the way. However, I do not know these.
This is so entertaining. He gets off. I can't fucking believe this. This is such bullshit.
I'm out of here, but he's got to make the ten count.
Lex Luger's so mad.
He's got to make the ten count. He's got to turn it around.
Look at that glorious haircut he's got. My God. If I had hair, I'd grow it like that. I'd full. Theo Vaughn it.
Fuck yeah.
Absolutely.
Oh.
Come on, you want a piece of me?
Show me some Bob Backlund in his prime. Yeah.
The first video I pulled up was 1980, and it was a video of him and Hulk Hogan, which this is not the Hulk Hogan, I know. He comes out in this giant cape.
Oh, yeah. This is pre-Everybody's a Star.
Hulk Hogan's the fucking man.
Oh, yeah.
How cool was it hanging out with that guy?
What's interesting is, after hanging out with him and The Rock, it's really interesting to see how blatant his spinal injury is, because you can see, after hanging out with The Rock, the four or five inches that Hogan lost, because, like I showed you when we were in here with Hogan, their face off, where they're truly eye to eye, is legendary. Now they're not.
I met Hulk when he was at full height. Oh, okay. I met him outside of a cigar bar in Beverly Hills in the 90s or something like that. It was early on. I'd only been in Hollywood for a couple of years, and I remember going, Jesus Christ, he was so big.
Then, the next time I met him, did you ever see that UFC thing I did with him?
No. What did you guys do?
Find that Joe Rogan interviews Hulk Hogan for UFC. It was when the UFC Spike TV had wrestling on, and so Hulk Hogan came to do a promo with me and him, and I got to interview him. Wow. Oh, dude, I went full pro wrestling. Really?
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me see it. Oh.
You didn't mention this to me, all the arguments we used to have about pro wrestling.
I went full pro wrestling. I was in on it. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to watch how I do it.
Oh, my God.
I was like, there's no other way to handle this. I'm dealing with fucking Hulkamania running wild. Fuck yeah. What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
When it runs wild on you. Here is one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, sports and entertainment, huge.
personality, the one and only Hulk Hogan. Welcome aboard, sir. How are you? Thank you, my brother. You know, to be here with Joe Mania, Dana White, it doesn't get any better than this,
brother.
These guys are going to war out here. It's unbelievable. Now, you've been in some MMA fights before. Are you a UFC fan? Oh, I'm a huge fan, my brother.
I sure am.
Now, I understand that you have recently announced a partnership with TNA Wrestling and its president,
Dixie Carter, and you're going to be moving to Spike TV.
We're going to see some Hulkamania on Spike TV. Tell us more about that. Well, you know, brother, tonight I got a ton of energy. And I'm partners with Spike. I'm partners with Dixie Carter.
I'm partners with TNA. And we just got the green light, brother, on January 4th.
TNA Impact.
We're going wide open. We're going head on head.
We're going to battle with the WWE.
Monday night, January 4th, Hulk Hogan and TNA.
We're coming after everybody.
We're coming after everybody. Now, I understand that you recently released a book. You've done a wrestling tour in Australia. When are we going to see Hulk Hogan wrestle in TNA? Well, brother, I'm going January 4th.
Like I said, Monday night.
We're going to TNA Impact. But you never know.
I'm going over there to take over.
The maniacs are coming.
All the TNA stars are going to be there. And you never know when the old man with the yellow boots might just step in that ring, brother. Hulk Hogan is coming back, ladies and gentlemen.
TNA Wrestling, live on Spike TV. Hulk's here for the fights.
You know you want to watch him on TV.
What you going to do, brother?
That's the good question. Thank you very much, sir. I love that.
That's amazing. You led that interview well, too. Those were some short answers from him up front. Right back to it. That was good.
Yeah, those are always weird.
Yeah, I'm a fan. Okay.
Yeah, the weird Spike TV interviews. I did one with Sylvester Stallone once, too. It was good.
It's an interesting position that you make look easy. Interviewing those guys after fights. Interviewing people. Huge person. Look at them.
See what I'm saying? They're eye to eye. And there's no DeSantis boots in this, by the way. They're actually that height back in the day. Look at that.
Yeah, Hulk lost like four inches.
And meanwhile, when we were working out with The Rock, it was literally like, oh, it was crazy.
He's gigantic.
He looks like a superhero in a movie all the time.
All the time. Yeah. Just when he walks in, you look at him like, what size is this guy?
Yeah, everything looks small in his hand.
But meanwhile, couldn't be nicer, couldn't be more humble.
So cool.
He's a good dude. He's a good dude. Good dude to hang out with.
I'm going to give a little behind the scenes here. I was in a sauna at 185 degrees, sitting in between The Rock and Joe Rogan. So for those of you that grew up without a father, you still have a chance, everybody.
So many laughs in that sauna across from Shane and Asan.
I thought it was really cool, too, that we decided to film this. Let's just have fun. Yeah, exactly. Let's just have fun. Because I know he films a lot of stuff for social media.
I go, let's just – he goes, I love it. I was like, yeah, let's just hang out.
And it was so cool.
It was really fun. Yeah. It was fun. And it, let me dictate the whole workout. I had a whole workout planned out.
I'm like, let's just – let's have some fun. Yeah. We did a real fucking workout. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
It was real.
I was sore. Everyone was sore for a week after that.
Yeah. We did the Tabatas in the bag at the end. Yeah. It was fun. And then The Rock did three minutes in the cold plunge.
First time he had ever been in a cold plunge. Yeah. Which is very impressive. Yeah. It was my first time.
I was like, get me out of here. Like, what the fuck?
And I did three minutes, ten seconds, only because I knew I could do longer than The Rock in a sauna and have bragging rights in the sauna for 20 minutes.
You've got to be in the sauna with Brian Simpson. He's always looking for a way to get out. Oh, I forgot my socks.
He'll climb out.
Your socks? You don't need your socks.
Brian's always got, like, some fucking new reason to get out of the sauna.
He's so funny, dude.
He's got a sneeze.
He is so funny with all that shit.
He got in the other day with his shirt with, like, his, workout clothes on. I go, you're going to sit in the sauna with your clothes on? He goes, yeah, I should probably take them off. And then he gets out. And I told him at the end, we were like, you've got to stay an extra 30 seconds, bro.
Yeah. This is bullshit. You keep leaving.
He's a sly dog. He knows exactly what he's doing. I caught him sneaking a cookie the other day out of that Eddie B's bag in the green room. I've been eating clean. I'm at four days, no carbs.
I walk in, he's just got a cookie.
It's so funny to keep an eye on. Because I love it. You know, I know my vices, right? I know I smoke too many cigarettes. I know I drink too much coffee.
Whatever they may be, right? I have a couple drinks every night. But he's funny because it's like, and I love those people. David Lucas, exactly the same thing. You know what I mean?
I lost 35 pounds. Every time. We were in the green room the other day. I go, how do you know? Did you have a fucking supermarket scale at your house?
The fuck are you talking about? My scale didn't go that high. There's no way. you know how much you weigh. You're not investing in that kind of property.
That kind of machinery.
Oh, God, it kills me.
How much does a regular scale goes to 300 pounds? Right.
Right? Yeah, no.
Joey used to talk about that. I can't get on a fucking regular scale, Joe Rogan. It's time to lose weight. When he first got on Weight Watchers, Joey was like, fucking regular scales don't work.
Yeah, we were doing Fab People weigh-ins live on Kill Tony at one point. And we have a scale now that goes up to four. But it's very hard to find. Very. Those are rare.
And that ain't going to work either. Right. What if Ralphie May got on it? Right. Someone's bigger than that.
You need a supermarket scale. Yeah. Put sides of beef on it and shit. Yeah. Did you see those five or four fitness influencers that are not fitness influencers, body positive influencers that are telling people you can be as fat as you want?
They're all dead. They're all dead. Blair White has this clip. It's mean, but it's also hilarious because it's just like, oh, God. Yeah, it's not good to be that.
big, kids. Just not. No matter what anybody tells you, if you have a fat doctor, no matter who it is, that's just a massive strain on your body that you really don't need. You shouldn't have. It's not something that's normal.
It's something that's insane. It's something that's only existed with human beings over the last 50, 60 years. People were never that big.
Jesus Christ. I was at a Starbucks at the airport this weekend in Florida, and one of the baristas was double masked. I could just see the top of her head because she was behind the espresso machine, and it looked like a thick head.
I'm intrigued by the entire thing. I see a double mask. I'm like, what's going on here? Then she moved away for a second to go grab another cup, and she was huge, hugely, massively obese. And I'm like, oh, okay.
All right, so.
Did you find it? Yeah, there it is. Thank you.
Double mask, but unhealthy as fuck.
But the Instagram one is funny, because it's like, he's dead. She's dead. They're dead.
I'm trying to find it. I swear I saved it. I love that you can save things on Instagram, because Tom Segura and I have this thing we do every day. We send each other the worst shit we find. It's a real problem because, like, neither one of us is going to tap out.
Everyone is trying to find, like, the most fucked up things. Instagram is. they're showing you some of the most fucking insane things.
Oh, yeah.
They're showing you so many insane things. Oh, I love it. Murders, car accidents, people getting crushed at construction sites. Like, God damn. Yeah.
There's so much. Here it is. I found it, Jamie.
They are. They're on a whole new level.
But I don't understand how it's getting through. Like, they must know that all that stuff is being shared, but they must also know that they're getting so many clicks from that that they have to, like, allow it to stay on. They have to. They must know.
It's being shared like crazy.
Tom and I are, like, every day, dude.
Yeah. Me and Adam, Egan, me and Yoni. I have a ton of them. I mean, Shane. Shane's a fun one.
I got into a big fruit loop. He's dead. Join me on my fat positive radio show, which didn't last long because she died.
Just because I'm fat, that doesn't invalidate the things that I said. She died. You ready to get supersized? She died too. I got into a big fruit loop.
Yeah, that's it. He's dead. Join me. I love it. Jesus Christ.
It's real. People need to see that.
It's one of the worst things. Being overweight is one of the worst things for your health. Yeah. It's a constant tax on your body.
If we're all born with the same size heart, and you have to lug around all that shit, and other people don't, it's pretty blatant.
Also, if you lose the weight, you'll have amazing leg muscles. I was saying that to Stavros. He showed me his calves. Stavros' calves are like watermelons. Yeah.
They're giant.
He's got calves on those cows. He's a big boy.
Yeah, he's a big fella. Sweatin'. If you're carrying around that much extra weight, like, boy, if you lost the weight, you'd be so fit. You'd be so strong. Get into Muay Thai.
Be fuckin' people up.
He's into Pad Thai. Bah! You can't help yourself. I can't help myself. It's always there.
That's so quick.
Oh, man. We just taped a bunch of episodes of Kill Tony so that we could take a few weeks off after these arenas. And so I'm in, like, zip, zip, zip.
Yeah, full on. Did you do two last night?
Yeah, two last night and two the night before. Some epic moments. Goddamn. Perhaps one of the greatest. And this is me tooting my own horn, but one of my greatest interviews ever with a big trans comedian.
Like a hefty, looks like 100%, like just like a big woman, steps up and goes, hey, so here we go. And, like, the whole room has its attention. Funny?
Very new. Very, very, very new. But I will say this is rolled with everything. It's an epic interview, because I'm going pretty hard, because she's laughing at everything. And I find it to be like, okay, we have this.
And everybody wanted it and everybody needed it. And it makes her look good. And everyone won. Nice. But there was a part where I literally go, so I got to ask, and this might be disrespectful, what direction are we going here?
What did you start as, and what are you going for? I know you're trans, but, like, I don't even know. Is this boy to girl kind of boy? Oh, man. And she's laughing, too, because it's like she knows what's up.
I'm sure you're aware of this, but that lady got arrested. who was on your show, saying that she stormed the Capitol. Yeah. The feds came and got her. They're like, oh, yeah?
I found out about this last night in the middle of a show, but didn't even have time to think about it or read the articles.
Yeah, they're going hard after people that went into the Capitol.
Red Band mentioned that it may have been because of our show.
It is because of your show. Really? Yes. Yeah, that's how the feds are watching the show. Oh, my God.
Shout out to the FBI. I swear to God, I wasn't there. I wouldn't go there. I'm not into that. It's not my thing.
Damn.
That's wild. Oh, man. I got her in. Well, she got her in trouble.
