Tim Allen
How are you?
Russell Peters
I mean, I had.
Kat Dennings
I mean, she's still beautiful.
Russell Peters
It's not like I wouldn't. But we're both married now, so it's a different kind of crush. It's more of an admiration at this point.
Kat Dennings
Yeah. Thank you.
Tim Allen
And she's not shy to admit that. She likes to hear. She likes people to fawn.
Kat Dennings
She should give it to me.
Russell Peters
Yeah, I mean, I would love to.
Kat Dennings
I'm coming off a week of literally just being infested with shit. I had lice in my head last week from my kids.

Don't you talk dirty to me, lady. You know, and then your sex talk is horrible.
Tim Allen
When she was coming. When she got lice the week she was coming off of a seven day milk fast.
Russell Peters
You weren't taking milk.
Kat Dennings
All I did was drink milk for eight days.
Russell Peters
Cow milk, right?
Kat Dennings
Yes.
Russell Peters
Good. Yes.
Kat Dennings
I feel amazing. I don't want to waste our time with our guests talking about, did you.
Russell Peters
Not get the shits at all or.
Kat Dennings
I only got the shits. Of course I did. And you take these supplements and that's the whole purpose of it. It's a parasite cleanse. Yes.
Russell Peters
Okay.
Kat Dennings
And I feel really good, guys.
Tim Allen
What are you noticing?
Kat Dennings
Energy. So I have Ms. So even my sister has Ms. Really?
Russell Peters
My sister in law. I actually, all my charity work is for Ms.
Kat Dennings
Thank you. Thank. See, we're really. You know, you knew.
Tim Allen
None of mine is. No, I don't. No.
Russell Peters
This is for what he thinks.
Kat Dennings
It's my family.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Russell Peters
Are you Irish?
Tim Allen
I'm not buying.
Kat Dennings
Irish.
Tim Allen
Yeah, I'm Irish. Irish. I got some German, other stuff, but mainly Irish.
Russell Peters
There you go. Yeah. Well, that's why I had a drinking problem.
Tim Allen
Drinking problem.
Kat Dennings
Yeah.
Tim Allen
You know, we're not we don't, we're not, we don't believe in charity. A whole bunch of stuff.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, we're walking stereotypes here. Anyway, my. Even my husband and my kid were telling me that they felt like my energy was stronger, that my body was moving better. I don't know, it might be bullshit, but I feel great.
Russell Peters
I tell my sister in law to get on the milk cleanse.
Kat Dennings
Apparently it's just sort of any sort of parasite cleanse, like any kind of sort of process that you want to do. I just happen to do mine with a milk cleanse.
Russell Peters
Okay.
Tim Allen
Have you ever done any kind of cleanse?
Russell Peters
No, no. I mean, I did that one where I had to go for a colonoscopy and they give you that drink.
Kat Dennings
How bad?
Russell Peters
Oh my God. You cannot leave the house that day.
Kat Dennings
No.
Russell Peters
And thank God I got a Japanese toilet.
Kat Dennings
Yeah.
Russell Peters
The best.
Tim Allen
I thought you were gonna say doctor.
Russell Peters
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
No, no, no, that drink.
Russell Peters
Cause he had small hands. It was weird when I went for the colonoscopy, I thought it was weird because both his hands were on my shoulders when he was checking me. I thought that was odd.
Tim Allen
But what do you.
Kat Dennings
You take that propofol nap. Who knows what happens?
Russell Peters
Who knows what happens on that nap? That's the best, that propofol, isn't it?
Tim Allen
What do you. You don't eat for how long on that? A day.
Russell Peters
A day. Like you stop eating at like a certain time, then you drink that drink and then you're done. You're. You can't, you can't hold anything down after.
Kat Dennings
No. Well, have you, have you ever literally hear a rumble?
Russell Peters
You're like, like you hear like a tremor.
Kat Dennings
Yes. You don't even feel it. You hear it and you run to.
Russell Peters
The bathroom and you're in there.
Kat Dennings
Yep.
Russell Peters
It sounds like you're just pouring buckets out of you.
Kat Dennings
It does.
Tim Allen
So have you ever had Montezuma's Revenge in Mexico?
Russell Peters
No. What's that? Was that.
Tim Allen
That's when. From eating like whatever. There's like, you like Double Dragon and you're just. You're. You can't hold anything in throwing.
Russell Peters
I mean, I'm going to India my whole life as a kid, so.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
Would that happen to you?
Russell Peters
Well, I had it happen to me seven years ago in India. We were shooting this series and we were shooting in like the. It's the biggest slum in the world in this one section we shot at. And in the daytime it looks kind of whatever. There's piles of trash and rats and whatever. But that's Kind of normal, but at nighttime, for some reason, it becomes alive. Like, all these storefronts open up, and there's people cooking on the streets. And I'm like, we're standing out. There was some guy cooking some sort of meat. I don't know what the meat was, but it smelled fantastic.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Russell Peters
And everybody on the cast goes, don't eat anything. Here I go. I go. It was on bread. I was like, this looks good. I was like, it. I'm getting in. I got one. I was like, it was delicious. And then for three weeks, I was.
Kat Dennings
Was it a person? Was it people?
Russell Peters
No, no, they don't. No, it was. I don't know what meat it was. They're very particular about meat in India, so it wouldn't be anything weird. But, you know, who knows what. What I was touching that day.
Kat Dennings
I mean, three weeks. That's so bad.
Russell Peters
Oh, man. I. My skin went amazing. That.
Kat Dennings
That it did.
Tim Allen
Yeah. Oh, you look so good. Yeah. All the selfies you got to take first. Like, dating app should be when you're, like.
Russell Peters
And throwing crazy gucks coming out of you, so your skin's pulling all the impurities out of you.
Tim Allen
You look so young. And I remember, like, in Mexico, everyone, like, after I was in my room for three days, I came out. Everyone was like, you look incredible. Like, I was top saw on the beach. I'm like, yeah, this is wow. But I was fully sitting on the toilet garbage can between the knees.
Russell Peters
Oh, yeah. I've had that happen before.
Tim Allen
Full. And everyone's like, it's the.
Russell Peters
You go green at that point, you become green. And then you come out of that.
Tim Allen
Yeah, it was. And then I told. Like, my friend was like, you think you could keep anything out down? I'm like, ginger ale. If you could bring me a ginger ale, I'd love you forever. And he. I don't know if he thought I said, like, a ginger shot. And he came with, like, orange juice and ginger in a cup. As soon as I saw him coming with a couple, I was like, I'm gonna throw up. Like, I was like, yeah. And he was like. And he, like, went all the way to get in, came back, and I was like, don't. Don't. Don't bring that in my room. And I felt so bad, but it was.
Russell Peters
Did you get the ginger, Alex?
Tim Allen
No. Yeah, I was. It was really. And then there was, like, a lizard on the ceiling my room. Like, sorry, Annie. Kind of like a. Oh, and he's not in there. Like, a big lizard was. Was on the ceiling. And I called up room service. I'm like, what. Can you guys, like, whoever. Like, can you send somebody to get this lizard, like, out of my. I don't want to sleep with this guy. And they're like, yeah, sure. And they came with, like, a pool net. And I'm like, oh, they're gonna, like, get this guy out and take him out. And the guy was like, yeah, I got it. And, like, he came in, he's nice. And as soon as he saw it, he just took one swing and fucking, like, chopped the thing in half. I was like, oh.
Russell Peters
Not what I was expecting.
Tim Allen
Yeah, not at all. What I. He was full. And it was like, like, you know, he didn't chop him in hand, but he, like, chops piece. The pieces are coming off. And then he's on the ground, like.
Russell Peters
Still just beating the.
Tim Allen
Yeah. And I'm like, oh. I'm like, you gotta go. I can't hold my. For my. For my. I'm just like, just. Just go off.
Russell Peters
You gotta blame the hotel. Why? You're sick. Ah, this guy made me sick.
Kat Dennings
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Wow. Aggressive.
Tim Allen
Do you. I heard Andrew Dice Clay talking about a lot of. You know, there's like, the chicken or the egg of, like, do comedians become addicts? Or. Addicts comedians, whatever. But it's like, he talks about how when there's 20, 000 people yelling at you and you're on a stage or even 500 people or whatever, that energy.
Russell Peters
You'Ve been addicted to that for sure. Right?
Tim Allen
And then when you leave and it's like, all right, it was. You leave a show at midnight, and then you're going home, you know? Yeah, just go to bed. And it's like, well, that's where the. The addiction kicks in. Because it's like, well, what am I gonna. How am I gonna wind down? So it's like, how. How do you.
Russell Peters
Well, you know, the funny thing is people like, oh, it must be so rock and roll. You finished that show. And there's a party and there's chicks, and you're like, now, once you do the meet and greet, you're too tired to do anything. You're like. And then you focus on one girl and you're like, ah, forget it. Sweet. Go home, sweetheart.
Tim Allen
Go to bed.
Russell Peters
I'm not playing this game tonight.
Tim Allen
You're no Jamie Lynn Sigler. Get out of here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what. What do you. How do you wind down after a show? Like, when you get home? I'm burn out.
Russell Peters
I just burn out. But I'm not addicted. I don't have an addictive nature. Just like I. I could drink or not drink. I smoke cigars. But I could. I can go for weeks without smoking.
Kat Dennings
Right.
Tim Allen
So can you do a show for, like, 30, 000 people an hour later?
Russell Peters
Go to bed after we do the everything? Yeah, I gotta. Why I gotta sit in a room by myself.
Kat Dennings
You do.
Russell Peters
And just wind down, and then I need the silence. Like, you can hear the room just shut down on you. And then I go, all right, yeah, now I can go to bed now.
Tim Allen
And what's your wind on? You do a little TV? You do a little.
Russell Peters
I go to YouTube and I watch Pawn Stars.
Tim Allen
Hell, yeah. Yeah.
Russell Peters
So my.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, yeah.
Russell Peters
If you look at my. My YouTube history, it's just so dumb. You're like, yeah. What did you watch? I go, I don't know.
Tim Allen
You're like, I know. That's a fake sword, though. Yeah, I know, I know, I know. Real swords and fake swords.
Russell Peters
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Allen
The. Because, James, like, I. I use ASMR to wind down sometimes.
Russell Peters
Really? You like that?
Tim Allen
And Jamie hates.
Russell Peters
I don't like the sound of it. I watch these guys clean, like, restoring watches or sneakers or whatever. Yeah, yeah, that's asmr. And I'm like, why is this so loud?
Kat Dennings
Yeah, yeah. I can watch those. Those guys build, like, castles out of bamboo and sand.
Tim Allen
Yeah, that's nice.
Kat Dennings
I could watch that for a long time.
Russell Peters
I've been watching a lot of restoration. Stuff's been popping up in my feed because I watched one, and now it's like, cars, and it's with sneakers and it's watches, and I'm like, all right, that's cool. I like going to watch those guys who do the abandoned. They go to abandoned malls and stuff and abandoned houses. Those are fun to watch.
Kat Dennings
Abandoned malls.
Russell Peters
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
And what do they do?
Russell Peters
They just walk around. They try, and they show you pictures of what it looked like when it was alive and stuff.
Kat Dennings
It was co. Yeah.
Tim Allen
You know what I. I hate about that is, like, then, like, you watch a few, and you're like, oh, this is good. Then you realize, like, they realized it's so profitable that then people start faking it. Like, those guys who are like, I found this thing in the woods.
Russell Peters
Look.
Tim Allen
And then it's clear, like a whole, like, production. Oh, I just wasted. And the crazy thing is, you look in the comments, no one knows it's fake.
Kat Dennings
Nobody. Oh, they're removing those comments probably, maybe.
Tim Allen
But so many people are like, wow, I can't Believe that's in the middle of the wood and it's like 8, 000 likes. And you're like, you don't know that. Yeah, see I'm, I'm also.
Russell Peters
It's not a real anaconda in Ohio.
Tim Allen
Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. We found a 30 foot shedding of a snake. Yeah, yeah.
Russell Peters
Ever seen that one where there's a snake wrapped around a car?
Tim Allen
No.
Russell Peters
And like the biggest snake in the world. I'm like, that's fake. I could see that it's fake.
Tim Allen
Yeah, yeah, I've seen those alligator thing.
Kat Dennings
Do you think there's people that are really buying my mom.
Russell Peters
My mom's 83. She watches you like, did you hear? And then she'll make up some wild ass star, go, mom. That's not real. I saw it on YouTube. It's real. I. It's not real, Ma. Yeah, you're getting clickbaited. Stop doing that.
Tim Allen
Yeah, I was on social media for a bit, like 13 years ago, however long it was 12 years ago.
Russell Peters
My spacing your life away, right.
Tim Allen
Yeah, it was like the beginning of Instagram. I was, I was there for a little bit, whatever. And like Facebook and I was like, I'm done. And then for like seven years, however long, like I didn't even look back. And then, you know, a few years ago I started seeing that like there's like acting on TikTok and.
Russell Peters
Oh yeah, these are audition.
Kat Dennings
That's right.
Tim Allen
Yeah. It's like these full bits. But people in the comments are like, have no clue that they're acting. And you're like, you don't know that. This is. It's really bizarre.
Russell Peters
Yeah. When you see like the like these fake fights and stuff, like, get out of here.
Tim Allen
Yeah. Or just like. Oh, yeah, I can't even. I don't know. But I, I'm so my goal is to find ASMR that Jamie will like because she's hated the few things I've.
Russell Peters
Like, what have you said?
Kat Dennings
I don't like sounds.
Russell Peters
I'm with you.
Tim Allen
No, you don't like any sounds.
Kat Dennings
No kids.
Tim Allen
Right. Every single day.
Russell Peters
Because your kids are always making noise. I mean, yeah, any kid makes. You don't have kids, right?
Tim Allen
No.
Russell Peters
Lucky.
Tim Allen
Yeah. I love, I get so much.
Russell Peters
I mean, I love my parents. I mean, Jamie probably loves her kids. But you remember your life before kids and you go, it was easier, wasn't it?
Kat Dennings
I do. Yeah. But I am. My kids are at an age now where they don't, they don't bother me.
Russell Peters
Yeah, well, they don't need you as much. Unless they're hungry.
Kat Dennings
Oh, yes. Which now I'm also like, you can get it. You know, my kid this morning was like, can you get me the cholula? And I just like sat and looked at it. I'm like, you can?
Russell Peters
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
You. You know exactly where it is.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Russell Peters
Chalooser.
Kat Dennings
That's what I should have said.
Tim Allen
We. So let's see. I got an ASMR for this week. Let's see if Jamie will appreciate this one. I think she'll.
Russell Peters
There's ASMR porn too. Maybe I'm just.
Kat Dennings
What?
Russell Peters
There is. I don't know.
Tim Allen
She wants regular porn.
Kat Dennings
Ew, ew, ew.
Tim Allen
Top right.
Kat Dennings
Taking bottom left until this is done.
Russell Peters
What is she doing?
Kat Dennings
I don't care.
Tim Allen
She's doing ASMR for Jamie.
Kat Dennings
Gross.
Russell Peters
I know, but what is that? Jamie, you licking something?
Kat Dennings
Yeah, she's looking so.
Tim Allen
Those are ASMR ears.
Kat Dennings
Oh, ears.
Tim Allen
You guys don't like when girls would lick my ears?
Russell Peters
When a girl would lick my ears, I get upset cuz I'm like, me too.
Kat Dennings
It's gross.
Russell Peters
You're filling up my ear with spit and I don't want to.
Kat Dennings
It's such a nasty thing.
Tim Allen
Lick my ear all day.
Kat Dennings
Really?
Tim Allen
Oh, yeah.
Kat Dennings
No wonder you and Cutter love each other.
Tim Allen
Her husband, why he wants you to lick his ear all the time.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, he wants me to do like, weird too.
Russell Peters
I mean, you know, that's your husband he's supposed to want.
Kat Dennings
That's why, of course I wouldn't want him to want it from me, but. Ew. This is still not done.
Tim Allen
Okay, we ended.
Kat Dennings
You could stop. This is gross.
Russell Peters
Did you get a.
Kat Dennings
Does that upset you as much as it upsets me?
Russell Peters
No, but it sounds like somebody eating. I can hear it just.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, exactly. It sounds like somebody eating.
Tim Allen
You know, the last time we played one for Jamie, she said she got lightheaded and needed a protein bar.
Russell Peters
Wow.
Kat Dennings
It's true.
Russell Peters
A protein bar of all things.
Tim Allen
She really did.
Kat Dennings
That's all they have here.
Tim Allen
Oh, you're my favorite, Jamie.
Kat Dennings
I can't stand it. No.
Tim Allen
Thank you so much.
Kat Dennings
That was terrible.
Russell Peters
You gotta find ASMR porn. It's interesting. It's the same sound, but different region of the body.
Kat Dennings
I figured that's what it sounded like. It's just not like what I need to listen to anybody else. Do you know what I'm saying?
Tim Allen
Yeah, it just comes.
Kat Dennings
I'm already bothered by the live sounds when it happens. I don't want to listen to from.
Russell Peters
Someone else on headphones.
Kat Dennings
Yeah. Can you imagine? I'm like, your husband's bang. You guys are having sex.
Russell Peters
You're doing this.
Tim Allen
Do you tell him to quiet down when he's banging you?
Russell Peters
Kids are in the next room. Don't enjoy it so much.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
Imagine you're like.
Tim Allen
It's like you. You play that thing they play the. Before the movies, where it's like. It's like, let them know. Be quiet when you're.
Kat Dennings
I think our kid walked in on us recently, by the way. I don't know. However, he came up to me in the morning, and he's like, hey. Like, he had, like, a cough.
Russell Peters
The younger one or the older one?
Kat Dennings
The older one.
Russell Peters
Oh, that's even worse.
Kat Dennings
And I'm like, what's up, buddy? I was like, you don't. You look like you don't feel good. He's like, yeah, I wasn't feeling good last night. And, you know, I came by your room, but you and dad just look really comfortable watching tv, so I didn't want to bother you. And he, like, kind of had a smile. And I'm like, we definitely weren't watching.
Russell Peters
TV last night, but he definitely was comfortable.
Tim Allen
Well, if you were having sex, you would have been uncomfortable, so. It wasn't. It probably wasn't.
Kat Dennings
Yeah. You probably would have been like, mom, you looked so upset last night.
Russell Peters
Was your Ms. Acting up yesterday? Yes. Yes, it was.
Kat Dennings
Was dad stretching you while you were crying?
Russell Peters
Your dad was in mass.
Tim Allen
Don't you have a red light on when you guys are having sex?
Kat Dennings
Not every time. We don't have.
Tim Allen
We just got on air.
Kat Dennings
We're getting new lamps. No, me and my husband has a sex light. He has a light bulb and changes colors, and he likes to set a mood with music and lights. And I appreciate it, but we have our window with the effort. Yeah, our window. Like, we have a view for, like, we live on a golf course, and.
Russell Peters
So are you out here?
Kat Dennings
There's house. Yes. And there's houses across the golf course. Right. So, like, they would need, like, a telescope to look in however they could see the red light turn on.
Russell Peters
Oh. So it's like.
Kat Dennings
So I'm convinced. I'm convinced that the people that live on Lane know when the Dykstras are getting down. And now apparently my kid does, too.
Tim Allen
Cutters haven't said so. What'd you. What, you just. You just let it.
Kat Dennings
I let it go. We didn't say anything again. But, I don't know.
Tim Allen
I walked in on someone in My family. I won't say who had sex with their.
Kat Dennings
I walked into my parents once. It's the worst.
Tim Allen
Yeah. And they.
Russell Peters
Well, now we know it was one of the guys.
Tim Allen
Yeah. The next day, they tried to tell me. They were like, oh, you saw us wrestling last night?
Russell Peters
Yes. Yes, I did.
Tim Allen
And I was like, no, it was doggy. That was not. Yeah.
Kat Dennings
Familiar.
Tim Allen
Yeah, it was like.
Russell Peters
It was a dog fight.
Tim Allen
It was like high school wrestling. Yeah, they were setting up. Yeah, it wasn't. You guys are not wrestling.
Russell Peters
I'm gonna start on my knees and you take me down.
Tim Allen
Yeah, yeah. You got Uncle. He got a point. I almost said his name.
Russell Peters
Uncle. It was Uncle.
Tim Allen
No, no, no. It was definitely not.
Russell Peters
Hey, it's turning red.
Tim Allen
Definitely wasn't Uncle Sean. What happened when you walked in on your parents?
Kat Dennings
Oh, no, I just. I was. Went to open their door, quickly saw what I saw, and I was living alone at home at the time. Both my brothers were older and in college. And I remember I just ran to my room and called my brother in college, and he had to just talk me down because I was real upset.
Russell Peters
Talked you off the ledge.
Kat Dennings
Yeah.
Tim Allen
I was ready for having sex. I would just sit outside the door for the asmr. But I never walked in because he.
Russell Peters
Likes how he likes sounds. He's an audio guy.
Tim Allen
Sound guy.
Russell Peters
He's an audiophile, I think.
Tim Allen
Oh, Dad's licking Mom's ear again. Yeah. Really was into fucking.
Kat Dennings
Gross. When you think about businesses that are selling through the roof, like Alo or Skims. Yes, they have a great product and marketing, but an often overlooked secret is actually the business that is making selling simple. And for millions of businesses, that's Shopify. Nobody does selling better than Shopify. Home of the number one checkout on the planet.

So if you're into growing your business, your commerce platform better be ready to sell wherever your customers are scrolling or strolling on the web, in your store, in their feed, and everywhere in between. I think I alone must be keeping Shop Pay and Shopify in business, because that's all I do. I check out all day online on Shop Pay and businesses that sell more sell on Shopify.

Russell Peters
Yeah. How old's your dad now?
Tim Allen
My dad's only like 18 years older than me, so he's probably like 58.

Your dad's only like four years older than me. That's wild.
Tim Allen
Yeah, my parents are young when they had me.
Russell Peters
Yeah.
Tim Allen
But they, yeah. Or maybe he's 17 years older than me even. But yeah, he was. He's like, you know, guys our age don't really have to think about stuff like that. And I was like, no, you're my dad.
Russell Peters
It's still now. Now he's looking at you as an equal.

Tim Allen
I have a brother who's nine years younger than me. I'm like, yeah, guys, like, you know, like, yeah, we're just hanging with the guys.

Kat Dennings
Yep.
Russell Peters
We were 50 onwards. Like, it's, it's. I have, I say I have more in common with an 85 year old woman than I do with a 30 year old man.
Tim Allen
Yeah, it's true for sure. Because I. I also just want to chill and be left alone most of the time. Which is an older quality.
Russell Peters
Yeah.
Tim Allen
Which hit me at a pretty young age.
Kat Dennings
Yeah.
Russell Peters
You always seemed introverted though. Like. Like you didn't want to be bothered, but not in a rude way. Just kind of had that, like, I'm good.
Tim Allen
Yeah. I always. That's content.
Russell Peters
It was a content.
Kat Dennings
Well, nothing. Yes. And also like nothing impressed him in the best way. Where it was like he just. He didn't need for anything. There was no agenda. Rob's just the most authentic human being you'll ever meet in your entire life. So. Yes. I like to know that everyone picks up on that.
Russell Peters
Yeah, it read that way.
Kat Dennings
Yeah.
Tim Allen
Oh, thank you.
Russell Peters
It didn't read like a dick. It read like, oh, he's just doing what he does. He's doing him.
Tim Allen
When we were partying in Atlantic City, I was getting free drinks off. Yeah.
Russell Peters
Yeah. We would look at it. That's. That's so cool. That's so cool. The Soprano kids join drinking with us. I really. I think Spinbat has that on him. But he's dead, so I can't get the photo from him. But, you know, otherwise we would have had this photo floating around.
Tim Allen
Right now we actually do something on the show called Memory Lane where we show like an old photo of us. That would have been nice to have the old photo of me and you.
Russell Peters
I just showed you guys the old photo. Me and Michael Imperioli.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Russell Peters
2002.
Kat Dennings
Wow.
Tim Allen
I have. I have a memory lane for you. Let's see, let's see, let's see. It'll come up in the. The smallest.
Russell Peters
Here I am DJing.
Tim Allen
The smallest window possible will show up on the TV.
Kat Dennings
We just said we're old, make it bigger.
Tim Allen
So what was your. You're a big DJ guy?
Russell Peters
I still DJ. Really? I've been DJing for 40 years almost. Oh, no. If you started DJing in the 80s to play everything, you literally had to play everything. I play hip hop, house, R B.
Kat Dennings
What's your favorite type of music to dj?
Russell Peters
Like funk and boogie and stuff like that. Like disco and that kind of stuff.
Kat Dennings
Do you have a favorite night you've ever DJed?
Russell Peters
Anytime. It's. Well, there's this night in LA called Motown on Motown Mondays. It's in Echo park and you can only play music, not records that were on the Motown label.
Kat Dennings
Cool.
Russell Peters
But there's loopholes Like, I put on this one. I had this one mix of Nirvana, of the Smells Like Teen Spirit instrumental with Billie Jean over it. Acapella, Billie Jean. They're like, this is in Motown. Give it a second. I mixed in the Billie Jean. They're like, ah, I see what you did there. As long as there's Motown elements in there, you're good.
Kat Dennings
That's cool.
Russell Peters
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
So that's your favorite.
Russell Peters
That would know stuff like that. Fun. When you give me, like, a theme, I'm like, okay, I could do this.
Kat Dennings
Yeah. Yeah.
Russell Peters
Otherwise, I go wild because I try to figure out, where's everybody? You're not dancing, you're dancing. How do I get them both dancing? And, you know, just keep going.
Kat Dennings
Wow.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
So you really have to read the room.
Russell Peters
Yeah, you got to keep. It's like comedy. You got to keep reading the room.
Kat Dennings
Right. I'm sorry.
Tim Allen
No, you, please.
Kat Dennings
So when you're so in comedy, you know, I feel like you prepare an act. Right. But so if you're reading a room and you need to take it in another direction, do you have another sort of act prepared, or do you just start?
Russell Peters
I just freestyle wing, and I've been doing it 35 years. I mean, you figure it out after a while. You go, didn't like that one, huh? Okay, where do you guys want to go? And then we'll go there, and I'll go, okay, where you wanted to go is lame. Let's go back to where I was at now.
Kat Dennings
I love it.
Tim Allen
Wow.
Russell Peters
You know, it's like, what do you want to eat? I don't know, anything. You go, how about this? Okay. And it sucked. Okay, can we go back to where we really want to go now? You know, you knew where you wanted to go. You just didn't want to say.
Kat Dennings
Right?
Russell Peters
Right.
Tim Allen
Is there with, like, DJing and being a comedian, is there one more where you'll be like, all right, I'll give them what they want. And one more where you're like, no, I won't do what I want.
Russell Peters
I push it with comedy. I push it more with music. You can have. They don't have my trust. I don't have their trust yet. Yeah, like, I'll play what I know. They. I'll push them as far as I think I can get them before. And then I'll be like, ooh, I want to play this. It'd be a great song to play, but they're not going to get it, so I'm not going to do it.
Tim Allen
Yeah. So how often are you DJing now?
Russell Peters
I don't know. I play in the house all the time, more than anything. But you do like once in a month.
Kat Dennings
Music house. You always have music on?
Russell Peters
Yeah, there's always music playing.
Tim Allen
Cool.
Russell Peters
We have it wired in and.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Allen
How do you. How do your kids feel about you DJing?
Russell Peters
No, they come in. My son will come and he's five. He's all into it. My daughter's 14. She doesn't even want to see me. She loves me, but just goes and sits in a room, you know what I mean? My son wants to get on the mic and I turn the echo on for him. My son's 5 and he loves Michael Jackson.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Russell Peters
And I told him, Michael probably would have loved you.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, but you know.
Russell Peters
But yeah, my son loves Michael Jackson, so he's obsessed with all that. And he loves Daddy. Play Bad or play Beat It? No, he likes bad and he likes that. Annie, are you okay? Smooth criminal. That's what he is.
Kat Dennings
That's a good one.
Russell Peters
And he gets all into it and I'm like, so funny to watch.
Kat Dennings
So cute.
Russell Peters
And he gets on them. He wants to hear 99 red balloons. Oh, and he wants the German version.
Tim Allen
Yes, 99 Luff balloons.
Russell Peters
Yeah. And he gets on there singing it. He doesn't know what he's saying. He's just singing along.
Tim Allen
So good.
Kat Dennings
Oh, to be that free.
Tim Allen
He's got good.
Kat Dennings
You know.
Russell Peters

Tim Allen
Milk good?
Kat Dennings
Yeah, milk is good. So Bailey's.
Russell Peters
Bailey's.
Tim Allen
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
Right. I've just. I've never been good on alcohol. I've never really liked it. It's just not. It's not where I felt carefree when.
Russell Peters
I first I got. Didn't start drinking until I was 31.
Kat Dennings
Like, didn't have a drink.
Russell Peters
I never got drunk till I was 31 years old.
Kat Dennings
Wow.
Russell Peters
And I was always scared of what I was hiding. I wasn't sure if I was hiding anger or sorrow or. Or. Or I didn't know what I was, what I was repressing. And as soon as I got the first time I got dr, I just remember laughing so much at everything, really. Am I holding back happiness? And then every time I got drunk, I just Laugh. And I was like, oh, I'm a happy drunk. Okay, I got it. And I was like. But now it takes me a long time to get drunk, so I don't bother because I get full.
Kat Dennings
Right?
Russell Peters
I'm like, I'm gonna be more full than I am drunk. And I'm not gonna be happy because I'd be so bloated from drinking all this shit.
Tim Allen
Yeah. Now that I'm like, almost 12 years out of drinking, I look back, I'm like. And people are like, you know that that beast is always right in you. And this. I'm like, there is no part of me that would go back to drinking. It'd be right to pills. Because it's so much fucking easy. Like, it's just the consuming, the having to be there. Like, a pill. And a pill is so personal. Where it's like, it's right in my pocket.
Kat Dennings
Yeah.
Tim Allen
I take it. You have no fucking clue. Knowing where the drink. It's like you smell the glass and the thing. It's always like, you have to get more and more. It's like, this one bottle could last you a week in pills. Where, like, one bottle in fucking drinking lasts you 20 minutes.
Russell Peters
This show sponsored by Pfizer.
Tim Allen
Would you do. So you do, like, acting, producing, stand up, podcast, dj. Like, when you're doing all this stuff, is there one thing where you're like, I like this so much more than the other?
Russell Peters
Well, when I'm on stage doing stand up, I. I love it because that's where I'm, you know, it's where I'm comfortable DJing. I love it, but I get very nervous when I'm DJing.
Kat Dennings
You do?
Russell Peters
I sweat uncontrollably. My body, you never know that. My armpits and back are wet. I'm like. And it doesn't matter if I'm killing it or not. The point is, I'm just nervous because I don't want to lose this momentum and I don't want to lose this audience. And. Yeah, you don't want them to go, you suck. Stick to comedy, you know, And. And I'm like, when I was doing this before comedy.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, yeah.
Russell Peters
There's all the things you did, you know, I boxed, and it's like, people you want to come train? I'm like, I'm 54 years old. I'm not trying to box no more.
Kat Dennings
Right.
Russell Peters
Come on, bro. At the gym. Come on. Hit the pads a little bit, but it's always in you. And then, you know, I was. I was sugar Shane Mosley came to see me in June and in Vegas. And he was in my dressing room and we were talking about something. He goes, oh, I put my hands up because. Oh, you used to box. I go, yeah, how do you know? He goes, you stand, right? I go, I know, but I used to do it.

Russell Peters
So he throws a punch and I slipped and I countered and I hit him hard. I go, fuck. Sorry, man. I didn't. Goes, okay, you still got it. But I'm like, oh, I didn't know. It's. It's always there. Things are just there. You forget what's there. Yeah, it's probably whatever you did before.
Kat Dennings
Brain is wild.
Russell Peters
Did you ever do, like, ballet or stuff like that?
Kat Dennings
Yeah, it'd probably come back to you. There's sometimes where I'll like, if I've ever seen an episode of Sopranos, like, just on, and I'll watch it and the dialogue will come back to me. Yeah, very strange.
Russell Peters
And you start mouthing it.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very weird.
Tim Allen
The craziest shit to me is smells. Like sometimes you smell something and I'm like, I'm in somebody's kitchen. I was in one time in my life right now, like, I could fully. And I'm like, I didn't even remember going to that person's house when I was 8.
Kat Dennings
Yeah.
Russell Peters
Oh, yeah. Smells are the best because they really trigger things.
Kat Dennings
They do.
Russell Peters
My friend told me my friend's father. My friend's parents died in a car accident, and we're good friends. So I, you know, I always make fun of not a dead parents, but I mean, I always make jokes about it. He's a cop.
Tim Allen
That's the best asmr, right? The screeching car stuff, it's so good.
Russell Peters
So. So he told me his dad used to like this really shitty cologne from the 70s called Gene the Tay. So I don't know how I found it on Amazon. And I got a bottle of the Gene the Tay and I got. So for Christmas, I got him a box of tissues and the Gene the Tay. And I go open this. He opens the tissue because the. Is this. I go, hold on. Then he opens the Gina Tay and he goes. He sprays. He started cracking. That's what the tissues are for. Then I started crying. I was like, hi, you. How'd you get me with this?
Tim Allen

Kat Dennings
Wow.
Tim Allen
You know, it's one of those things that's really sweet.
Kat Dennings

Tim Allen
Yeah. You're like, oh, this isn't fun.
Russell Peters

Tim Allen
You do it all.
Russell Peters
I could do a couple of things.
Kat Dennings
And your special skills, part of your resume must be very long.
Russell Peters
I don't know.
Kat Dennings
I never think, you know, roller skating.
Russell Peters
You never think about these things. You think you're like, it sounds. I don't like doing it because I feel like you're bragging and I'm like, these are just things. But if you get old, once you get older, you realize it did a lot of things in your life.
Kat Dennings
That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
Tim Allen
And it's like you have that drive to be good at it. Where a lot of people are like, like, there's like, I did skateboarding, I, if I got on a skateboard, Tony Hawk would be like, oh, you've never skateboarded, huh? Like sugar. Shane was like, oh, you box. It'd be the opposite. But you have that drive.
Russell Peters
It's in there. It's just, you know, and I do jiu jitsu with, you know, and so it's all these things pop up here and there. And when you, When I meet a lot of fighters and like, they're like, I remember talking to one fighter, he's a professional, he's a UFC fighter. And he was like talking about his ground game's not that good. I go, here's some couple of tips. And you know, I'm showing this UFC fighter some simple jiu jitsu moves. And I'm like, this is so wild because this guy could beat the out of me easily.
Kat Dennings
Yeah, yeah.
Russell Peters
You know, and I'm showing, I'm not even, I'm not even a high ranking guy. I'm a low level guy. I'm like, you know, but the moves I show because, oh, thanks. I'm gonna use that. I go oh, yeah, just work on it a couple of times. Would you please don't just go randomly using it.
Tim Allen

Or you're just like, whatever I got. Like, if you forgot to pack something and you're like, oh, no, I left this at home. Is there.
Russell Peters
That's. Like, that really bothers you, you know? And there's the weird things that happens all the time like that. I'm like, God damn it. I forgot. I forgot my, you know, my needle. You know, I gotta take my needle once a week. And I'm like, I start playing or when I'm going on a long tour and I have these meds that I take every day. I'll. I'll pack 14 days. And then I'm like, I'm gonna get past two weeks. I'm out for a month. And then I gotta pack the whole bag of drugs now. And then I'm scared because I'm like, is this other country gonna think. And I'm smuggling. Smuggling drugs into their country. I'm like, no, it's like metformin and vitamin D and shit like that. But they're gonna be like, he's a drug dealer.
Kat Dennings
You know, it's your supplements.
Russell Peters
Yeah.
Kat Dennings
It's hard to be healthy.
Russell Peters
It is. Yeah. The metformin helps you lose weight too. It's not that either one of you need it. It's a pre diabetic drug. Oh, my doctor was your pre diabetic. Do I have diabetes? Yeah. She goes, no. And I go, well, then everybody's pre diabetic if they don't have diabetes. I'm pre dead too.
Kat Dennings
That's right. Exactly.
Russell Peters
I'm pre heroin addict. I'm pre anything if I'm not it.
Tim Allen
