Paul Verze, thanks for joining us.
Paul Verze
Thanks for having me, dude. Happy to be here.
Jamie Lynn
So, I mean, just like, I know you're not supposed to care about that. When somebody's from New York, I just feel better. Makes me feel better.
Paul Verze
I don't know, it's funny because I saw you and I just saw the, the Yankee hat. And just as soon as I like interact with you, I'm like, yeah, this is it.
Robbie
Yeah, this is it.
Paul Verze
It's just, it's like home.
Robbie
You speak the same language. Literally.
Paul Verze
Doesn't matter what state you're in. You could feel it.
Robbie
Yep.
Paul Verze
You could feel it.
Jamie Lynn
You know something that's really weird that I saw like for the first time ever, I think it was yesterday, I saw like they were talking about somebody who was like, born in New York City and then the date and it was like, died in New York City and then said the date. And I was like, damn. I never thought about this. Like, I kind of want to die. I think. I think I want to die in New York.
Robbie
You can't really control that. I mean, to, to a certain extent, if you're like really getting up there in age.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. But I just, I never thought I would care about. But then, but then I started thinking, do I want, do I want two strangers talking over my body in like an elevator? You know what I mean? Like, I'm, I'm dead on the thing and there's like two AMT workers like, yo, are you hungry? I'm like, I kind of think like getting pushed out of a house is just the way to go.
Paul Verze
Yeah, you're a dark dude, huh?
Jamie Lynn
I just think about it all.
Paul Verze
No, you got some shit. Yeah, you got some.
Robbie
You're a deep thinker. Time.
Paul Verze
You got time.
Jamie Lynn
I have a lot.
Robbie
No children, single.
Jamie Lynn
I mean, this is my only job.
Paul Verze
Like that, that when you just said that, I was like, this dude could be a comet. You could be like. Because that's what stand ups. Like the mind goes there, you know? But you fly back. Like, you're not gonna. Like, if, God forbid, something happened to you, you're gonna stay here, like, get buried here. You would go home, right?
Jamie Lynn
Oh, yeah. I'd want to get.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
I don't bury.
Robbie
For sure. Have that written down somewhere, or do they need to come check with me?
Jamie Lynn
No. Yeah.
Robbie
We need to discuss this over dinner.
Jamie Lynn
This is me writing it down.
Robbie
Okay.
Jamie Lynn
Just show them this clip.
Robbie
Okay.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. They send me back. Yeah, I. Yeah, I don't know. I never. Before yesterday, I never thought about, like, where do I. Do I care about where I die? Like, and I'm like, do I. I don't know.
Robbie
Because I would just like it to be peacefully.
Jamie Lynn
Well, yeah. Like, I don't want it to be violent.
Robbie
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
I don't want my death to be.
Robbie
But I don't know if I care where. If I'm on, like, vacation in Mexico. That sounds nice.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Robbie
But then my family has to deal with getting the body.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. I had a friend pass away in Mexico. They never got the body back.
Robbie
They never. Because they didn't want to pay or.
Jamie Lynn
Well, because they didn't. I mean, I got, you know, resting, you know, my boy. But, like, there was stuff with, like, the technology, and they were like, you know, we're not going to give you his phone and his stuff, because I don't think they wanted to see what stuff was on. I don't know. It was like, a whole shady.
Robbie
I was going to say the technology.
Jamie Lynn
I don't think you want to die. Maybe Canada, like, during summer. They'll. They'll send you back. Very nice.
Paul Verze
Yeah. Trudeau will send you back.
Jamie Lynn
A little bow. Yeah. Yeah.
Paul Verze
You'll be Mexico wrapped in a rainbow with that guy.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. Instead of, like, a wooden box. Coming back, James, you know, we have also this whole.
Robbie
I've. I think funerals are cap. I think they're bullshit.
Paul Verze
Wait, what do you mean?
Robbie
No, no, I'm meaning the funeral business. I think they are lying. I think it's overpriced, and I think that they're re. Recycling coffins.
Paul Verze
Wow. Wait a minute. So you think the coffin is just like.
Robbie
I think it's like. Yeah, I just. I. I can't imagine that there's that many overpriced coffins in the ground. I think they dig them up.
Jamie Lynn
Oh, she thinks people get buried. Here's. Here's how it started. We were doing the pod, and she thought.
Robbie
She actually thought we should really be just talking. You.
Paul Verze
You two seem so much more pleasant than the. You talk about like, you see my. And all of a sudden, it's just like.
Robbie
I don't know. It's the New York. You're bringing us New York. We're going there.
Paul Verze
To me, talking about death. Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
It's all the same.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
So the way it started, we were talking about funerals on here, and she. She honestly thought. And now she tries to backtrack. No, she thought that they buried the casket and it was a show for the family that then they went in.
Paul Verze
And exhumed the body.
Robbie
No, they could put the body in because that'll decompose.
Jamie Lynn
She thought they went in and got the box back and reused the box. She thought they reused casket.
Paul Verze
Well, see, I watch a lot of True Crime.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
And they did, like, the. They. Some. There was like, some investigation, I think. Oh, it was the staircase. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was the staircase. Because it happened to the woman that he was married to in Germany. The same shit. Bottom of the stairs, blood.
Robbie
Right.
Paul Verze
And it was the same thing. And they went back to that case and they, I guess, 17 years later, exhume her body. And it was the same casket and she was in there.
Robbie
Well, maybe they do it right in Germany.
Paul Verze
Okay. She's hanging hot. That's a German thing. The Germans don't lie.
Robbie
But, no, it really came from. From. And then we'll move on. But it really came from my thinking that they've got to run out of real estate at some point.
Paul Verze
I know. I get that. Like, I think there could be some truth to that maybe in some cases. But then really rich people are like, you're not doing that with me.
Robbie
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
And they all. They. They. There have been. It's been known that they, like, sometimes dig people up and, like, steal their jewelry and. And, like, people do. There's, like, grave robbers and.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
That's wild.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. It's nice and pleasant over here.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. It's all warm and fuzzy.
Robbie
I want to be cremated and robbed. In a little bag in his pocket.
Jamie Lynn
All right, I'll make a little necklace. The. All right, so we'll switch topics.
Robbie
Okay.
Jamie Lynn
The. My friend was dating a girl.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
For two years. Everything's great.
Paul Verze
Okay.
Jamie Lynn
And she all of a sudden gets in her head this thing where she goes, I. I can't use air conditioner anymore. It's. I think it's really bad for me, and I don't want to do it in. In my head. I don't care who it is. That's it.
Paul Verze
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. So they were dating for two living Together two years. She said, I can't have an air. We can't use air conditioner.
Jamie Lynn
Can't use air conditioner anymore.
Paul Verze
Oh, that's. I mean, that's it.
Jamie Lynn
That's it.
Paul Verze
That's it.
Jamie Lynn
Right.
Robbie
How do you survive?
Paul Verze
I mean, where do they.
Jamie Lynn
That's what I'm saying. What do you do there in Austin?
Robbie
Oh, no.
Jamie Lynn
What do you do?
Paul Verze
No, you can't. What are you going to have a fan? I mean.
Robbie
Yeah. What does she have?
Jamie Lynn
That's what I'm like, dude, you have to. If you.
Robbie
What is. Does she have a reasoning? Like, does she think this is bad for her health?
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. Yeah. And I'm like, if you love her, you stay together till the first day that, like, it comes back above, like 80 degrees or something. But, like, it's just inevitable that you. You have to break up. Right?
Paul Verze
I. I kind of agree with that.
Robbie
I think she was fishing for a reason. I think she was trying to get.
Jamie Lynn
Out after two years. I think she. Because they were like. There were. Things were. Things were pretty good. I don't know.
Paul Verze
I need 67. 67. You go. Or lower.
Jamie Lynn
I mean, I sleep 64 here.
Paul Verze
You sleep 64 here.
Jamie Lynn
Because it's. It's. For some reason, when it's 110 outside, when it's really hot, I do need a colder here. Normally. I used to be like a 66. 68. I moved here, I became 64, and.
Robbie
Even now, like, winterish time here, you'll do 64.
Jamie Lynn
It depends. I can do 66, but I like a 64.
Robbie
But how do you guys sleep? Do you sleep with clothes on or.
Paul Verze
No boxer briefs? Like, I can't do no pant.
Jamie Lynn
Oh, dude, I got the thing for you.
Robbie
I'm a sweatpants. No, my husband. Yeah, but I'll let him make it as cold as he wants.
Paul Verze
Yeah, but you could, like. But that means that. But do you toss a Turner?
Robbie
No. Oh, I'm moving all night.
Paul Verze
So you.
Robbie
I'm doing the trucking.
Paul Verze
So you can move all night with that on and be comfortable.
Robbie
At some point, something gets taken off.
Paul Verze
Okay.
Robbie
Yes. I don't. I don't remember when or how, but. Yeah.
Paul Verze
You fall asleep clothed?
Robbie
Yep.
Paul Verze
Wow. That's nuts.
Jamie Lynn
You need to free yourself. I used to fucking. I used to sleep in boxer briefs. I got these things. I'm going to show you. They're on Amazon. They're like these bamboo shorts. Yeah, bro.
Paul Verze
Good.
Jamie Lynn
I've never.
Robbie
You know, you've been.
Jamie Lynn
You've been for 10 years. I've been wearing these now. I can't fuck with anything else.
Paul Verze
Wait, do they don't stick, though.
Jamie Lynn
No, no, that. These are. I don't think these are exactly them, but there's ones that are like them. We got to get them as a fucking sponsor. Because I'm. I can. I can wax poetic on really.
Robbie
Robbie can do the ads.
Jamie Lynn
I've gotten these for people for Christmas. They, like, they almost cried. They're like, I can't. I don't know what I did before, like, how I slept.
Robbie
Send me the link.
Jamie Lynn
I'll send you. They're. They're amazing.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. You got to be sleeping.
Paul Verze
Isn't it something when you find something and you're like, what was I doing? Like, I found. I would say, like, maybe seven years ago, my. My old manager, rest his soul, he passed away. He used to own the stand, shout out to Dave Kimowitz and his family. But he told me. He was like, you know, he's like, how are you wiping your ass? You know? And I was like. I was like, oh. I was like, you know, I go, scott. Is it Scott?
Jamie Lynn
I wouldn't even know.
Paul Verze
The toilet paper.
Robbie
Yeah, that's paper towels.
Paul Verze
No, the toilet paper probably makes charming.
Robbie
I think they do. Yeah, they probably do a toilet roll.
Paul Verze
Yeah. So. So. And he was like, no, no, no. He's like, you gotta get, like, adult baby wipes. And I was, this is probably. No, we're probably going on like, seven, eight years. And I go, what do you mean? He's like. He's like, no, not for babies, but, like, wipes. So, like, you wipe your ass regular, and then after you're done wiping to get the, like, the real fucking assurance, you go, dude, it changed. I was like, oh, my God.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, everything.
Paul Verze
How long have people been walking around in the 80s and 90s just using regular paper?
Robbie
Raw dogging, raw dog.
Paul Verze
Because you're not. But then when you. And. And the nice thing is, like, there's nothing gross on the thing, but it's just a little reassurance, of course. And you're like, your ass is. I was like, my ass has never been.
Robbie
And it's like a lovely. It's like a kiss. It's like a little, you know, it's like a little.
Jamie Lynn
Little toodaloo. Yeah.
Paul Verze
Just like a little extra care at the end.
Jamie Lynn
Life changing.
Paul Verze
And you're like, I can't believe I live like that.
Robbie
I bet they make moisturizing ones, you know?
Paul Verze
Yeah. They still haven't figured out the flushing yet, though. They say the flushables and you do it. But it's.
Robbie
Yeah, I know.
Jamie Lynn
I do enough for the country. I can't. That's. I've paid my taxes 30 year. I have to flush. I'm sorry. I have to flush the baby wipes.
Paul Verze
Flushing.
Jamie Lynn
What are you going to do?
Paul Verze
I know.
Jamie Lynn
I can't. I have to.
Paul Verze
I know.
Jamie Lynn
I'm a. I love this yes topic. You know what I do now? Sometimes if I'm in, like, a swimming pool, I look around, I'm like, I hope, like, how many of these people are just using toilet paper?
Robbie
That's where your mind goes. Do you sit or stand when you wipe?
Jamie Lynn
Oh, this is a big topic here, dude.
Paul Verze
This is amazing. That it went from death. It went from death and cremation to wipe your ass.
Jamie Lynn
I love.
Paul Verze
But you know what? This is like a stoop.
Robbie
There you go.
Jamie Lynn
This. What this is.
Paul Verze
This is perfect.
Jamie Lynn
Have you ever been to Car Schultz Park?
Paul Verze
No.
Jamie Lynn
It's on, like, 86th Street. All the wayside. This is what we built this after. It looks exactly like the checker tables. Like, amazing. This is where I used to, like, drink with my friends at the checker table.
Paul Verze
No, this is dope. I love this, man.
Jamie Lynn
I'm happy you, like.
Paul Verze
I'm appreciative to be here. Yeah, no, I, I, I don't sit when I wipe. I stand.
Jamie Lynn
Yes, thank you. Me too.
Paul Verze
Yeah, I gotta. You gotta get some leverage.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. I'm a stand guy.
Robbie
Leverage. What do you mean? You hold the wall.
Paul Verze
Like, you gotta. Yeah. Like, I don't know if I do it now. I don't know. Maybe my hand. I'll hold myself up on a sink. No, now I don't know what I do, but, no, I can't sit. I mean, that's nuts.
Jamie Lynn
I don't. I don't sit either. I can't do it.
Paul Verze
I can't.
Jamie Lynn
People, Most people think, like, when they hear this, people think you're crazy for standing. I'm like. I think it's.
Robbie
Is it. Because. Is it. I don't, I don't know how you.
Jamie Lynn
Lean over in the. It's very. It just doesn't. It's so much more.
Robbie
Yeah, but when you stand, I feel like the, you're, you, like, your butt gets, like, more closed. You know what I mean? You don't spread your legs and, like, bend over.
Jamie Lynn
You kind of. You kind of get up in, like, you're already.
Paul Verze
There's, like, a little. There's a little bit. Yeah, there's a little squat. It's not like yeah, but. Yeah, I got to stand, and you're not at attention.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, I don't think that.
Robbie
I don't. I think you guys are robbing yourself of a better angle. Really?
Paul Verze
I mean, I'll give it a try.
Jamie Lynn
Oh, no, it's awful. I've tried it. Don't.
Paul Verze
But I gotta. I think I've stood. Yeah. Yeah. When you piss, do you put one hand on a wall?
Jamie Lynn
No.
Paul Verze
No. Okay.
Jamie Lynn
No, that's not. That's like a. Like, you know, my.
Paul Verze
My dad.
Robbie
Like, you know what my husband does? He holds his balls when he pees.
Jamie Lynn
Wow. Wow.
Robbie
I just learned this about him.
Jamie Lynn
Such a cutter.
Robbie
What the hell is that?
Jamie Lynn
It's such a cutter thing to do.
Paul Verze
I mean, but there must.
Jamie Lynn
What was his explanation?
Robbie
None. It feels better.
Paul Verze
I must have a decent feeling of security.
Robbie
Give it a try, dude.
Paul Verze
Like, I. I will definitely do that. Yeah, I'm gonna do that. When I go piss at the airport tonight, I'm gonna hold my balls and see what happens.
Jamie Lynn
Well, here's.
Robbie
Here's something, and then please follow up.
Paul Verze
No, I'll thank him if it's.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah.
Paul Verze
My wife's gonna be like, what are you doing? I'm like, dude, I did a podcast, their podcast, and I'm holding my nuts.
Jamie Lynn
Now you're gon bamboo shorts, holding your balls. Your wife's gonna be like, what? You went away for two days.
Paul Verze
Why is it 63 degrees in here?
Robbie
I did 10 minutes of a podcast my whole life.
Jamie Lynn
Also, what do you think about Burials Babe?
Paul Verze
So funny. Abc, Wednesday. Tim Allen and Kat Dennings star in the new family comedy Shifting Gears.
Robbie
Dad, I'm broke and I need a place to stay until I figure out.
Jamie Lynn
What the rest of my life looks like. So a couple of days when his.
Paul Verze
Daughter moves back in.
Jamie Lynn
The last time you walked out that.
Paul Verze
Door, you looked back at me and gave me a double bird.
Jamie Lynn
I was 18. The double bird was how I ended all our conversations. The wheels come off. Can we try to talk to each.
Robbie
Other like rational adults?
Jamie Lynn
Have you watched the news lately? That's not a thing anymore.
Paul Verze
Series premiere Wednesday, 8, 7 Central on.
Jamie Lynn
ABC and stream on Hulu. You know, I recently just found out that people hate on people for getting, like, ice cream samples at the ice cream place. I don't understand that.
Paul Verze
Well, here's the deal. We just talked about this on I do the Bone to Pick podcast with Bobby Kelly, and we just talked about this. If anything, more than you go three samples. It's. It's nuts.
Robbie
It's rude.
Jamie Lynn
Okay?
Paul Verze
It's because somebody's waiting. So, like, you have to pick the one. Like, if there's like a flavor, like let's just say, like hypothetically is like banana chocolate. Right? Now, I never had that. So I'm like, that's the. Then I'm like, I gotta do that.
Robbie
Maybe there should be a sample line then.
Paul Verze
Oh, that's a.
Jamie Lynn
That could be a sample. But then. But then there would just be a.
Paul Verze
Bunch of cheap assholes out the door.
Jamie Lynn
Thank you. This is such a New York.
Paul Verze
You have to have just somebody with etiquette and fucking respect and not be an animal.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
It's like, look, I'm gonna get that banana chocolate. Cause I know, but these people trying two to three, and you can't try vanilla.
Jamie Lynn
You can't try vanilla.
Paul Verze
That's you should you try vanilla or chocolate? You're out.
Jamie Lynn
You leave the stove 100%. But, you know, I think. I think even.
Robbie
Well, no, because I'm a vanilla person and I've. It's not the same all the time. People's versions of.
Paul Verze
You're a vanilla ice cream soup.
Robbie
I mean, if you're good. Well, it kind of. But if you're gonna go to like, you know, this fancy ass ice cream places, I think ice cream's gotten way too fancy. You know, when there's like balsamic fig.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Robbie
You know, that's a place you went.
Jamie Lynn
To in la, Remember?
Robbie
What was that? Salt and straw.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're like. Yeah. Balsamic vinegar ice cream. I'm like, yeah. What are you.
Robbie
Yeah, but they're. They're like, vanilla is not right.
Jamie Lynn
My briar dandelion.
Paul Verze
Yeah. You know. Well, I will. You are like Haagen Dazs. Vanilla is much different that. Yes. The vanilla bean is way different than like a Breyers.
Robbie
Yes.
Paul Verze
So that I. All right. Or vanilla. I'll give you. I'll give you that. But. But either way. Fine, I'll give you that. But you got to know more than two.
Jamie Lynn
So then are you allowed to try chocolate?
Robbie
You think I don't like chocolate, so it wouldn't matter for me.
Paul Verze
See, chocolate ends it for me. As far as, like, the dessert. You know what I mean?
Jamie Lynn
What do you mean?
Paul Verze
Chocolate's the finisher. It's the closer.
Robbie
You always got to close with a piece of chocolate. So do we.
Paul Verze
Because chocolate ends it.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Paul Verze
Chocolate. Is Mariano Rivera coming? It's over.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. The clothes.
Paul Verze
It's over.
Robbie
It's the last taste.
Paul Verze
That's the thing. Like Vanilla. You could have vanilla and be like, I still need some. Yeah, when chocolate comes to the table, you don't need anything.
Robbie
Yeah, we both talk about this all the time. Like, I cannot enter my bed without having some piece of chocolate.
Paul Verze
It's because you're sane.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, but see, this all came after I stopped the smoking cigarettes. Then it became my addiction is now at the end of the night, if I don't have chocolate, I sit and think about chocolate for four hours.
Paul Verze
You know, you just reminded me of. I had a buddy.
Robbie
He.
Paul Verze
He quit smoking cigarettes, and then he just had a dozen donuts in the passenger seat, and I quit the fight.
Jamie Lynn
You got to sit in the back.
Paul Verze
He would just grab a donut and just eat it when he needed. And he got off. Yeah, you need it. You need something.
Robbie
Yes.
Paul Verze
But chocolate is a. Is a definite. For me, a little. Even little.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. What's your favorite?
Robbie
What's your favorite?
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, what's your chocolate?
Paul Verze
Oh, man. I like dark. Dark chocolate. Really ends it.
Robbie
Because it's overbearing. I wouldn't have read you as a dark chocolate man.
Paul Verze
No, it's. It's overbearing, but it does. It. It's like, it puts me to. I'm finished.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
If I just go regular chocolate ice cream, maybe.
Jamie Lynn
What's the dark chocolate that you're going for?
Robbie
Like, the brand.
Paul Verze
Oh, the what? The one. The l. The. The lint. Yes. Okay. Yes.
Jamie Lynn
You ever with the hu. The hue kitchen one?
Paul Verze
No.
Robbie
That's pretty cleaner. Yeah, a little bit cleaner.
Jamie Lynn
They got, like, you know, vanilla bean. They have these, like, what I'm. What I really love from them. They have these vanilla bean cashews. Like, they're covered. They're cashews covered in chocolate, and the chocolate has vanilla bean in it.
Paul Verze
Oh, they're great.
Jamie Lynn
And they're at the counter all the time, too, so they get you on the way out.
Robbie
I don't like nuts with my chocolate.
Paul Verze
I don't like nuts on with dinner. Like these Asian dishes. Dude, your peanuts, dude.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah.
Paul Verze
I got chicken. I got soft chicken. I can't bite a peanut 100%.
Jamie Lynn
See, I thought I had enough time to think about it all. I never. I never thought about that. The. The nuts with the.
Robbie
That's how I feel about water chestnuts, too. Get out of that.
Paul Verze
How about this? Take your nuts and go yourself on banana bread.
Robbie
Banana bread.
Paul Verze
But no, I could do the bread. No nuts.
Jamie Lynn
They put, like, walnuts aren't even.
Robbie
That's how I feel about carrot cake. Yeah, get that nut out of there. You're ruining my cream cheese icing. Soft, Gooey.
Paul Verze
It's gotta be soft. Yeah.
Robbie
I'll take a raisin, though.
Paul Verze
I will. With an almond. Late at night when I'm starving.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Paul Verze
Why? Like a handful of. Just because it puts. It'll. It'll. You know.
Robbie
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
But I used to. I used to love the Hershey Kisses with almonds. Yo. I would those up just a bag. Oh, I love that.
Robbie
No, thanks.
Paul Verze
Yeah, love. I love Dream Talk.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah.
Robbie
This pizza. What's your favorite pizza?
Paul Verze
I mean, if it's great New York slice, regular, but. But then I would say pepperoni is really. The older I got. I used to not like Joe's. I used to think Joe's was too bready, but now I actually. I like Joe's. I've come around to Joe's.
Robbie
Your palette has matured.
Paul Verze
Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, I guess. I like. I like Joe's a lot.
Robbie
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
Have you done Lucali?
Paul Verze
No, no, no, I haven't. I like Pepe. Frank. Pepe.
Jamie Lynn
Pepe. You got. You got to try Locale in Brooklyn.
Paul Verze
Yeah, it's.
Jamie Lynn
It's one of the.
Paul Verze
It's one of the premiere. Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. It's really. What they're doing is special. It's very good.
Paul Verze
Pizza's incredible, man.
Robbie
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
I haven't had it in so long, it makes me sad. But. Oh, you know what else is good? Joe and Pat's. You ever do Joe? Joe and pat's on like 10th and Avenue A or First Avenue, like right around there. They came from Staten Island.
Paul Verze
All right.
Jamie Lynn
They're great.
Paul Verze
Is anything better than a good slice? It's maybe the great Coke. Yeah. I go Diet Coke, but, yeah, a good slice.
Jamie Lynn
I can't do any of this anymore. It's so sad. I mean, you can't do soda. I don't think.
Paul Verze
You can't do. You can't do a Diet Coke.
Jamie Lynn
I just eat so healthy. I haven't had a Diet Coke in, like 10 years. I was a two Diet Coke, two 20 ounces a day guy. My whole. For forever. And then I just one day go.
Paul Verze
To a movie theater and not have a Diet Coke.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, it's. I'd go to a movie theater and do not. I haven't seen a movie since the Joker because I hate it. Because I just sit there like a idiot while everybody's having fun. But the best. I used to do the.
Robbie
He won't even drink any water unless it's natural spring.
Jamie Lynn
I won't.
Paul Verze
Yeah. Really?
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm not knots. I'm crazy. But my favorite thing in the world used to be the warm popcorn at a movies. And you put the M M's on top. You ever do that?
Paul Verze
My buddy Pete told me how to do that.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, Shout out to Pete.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, that's. That's the dream. The salty and the.
Paul Verze
See, I'm a gummy guy. I'm a. I'm a gummy bear. That's my gummy bear. All the day. Gummy bear. Soft, chewy starbursts. When we were kids and we would steal candy, that's what it was. Always that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was this. It was the soft.
Robbie
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
Have you, have you seen the new show, HBO Florida Man?
Paul Verze
No.
Jamie Lynn
So, like, I. I was like, I don't know, I don't like this. Whatever. But it is interesting to talk about the. The. It's all about these stories that happen in Florida, you know? It's like, Florida, man. Whatever.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
And there's a guy who was on Craigslist, look, trying to make money, and some guy was like, well, I'll give you five grand. He's like, but you got to eat my toe.
Paul Verze
What?
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. And he's.
Robbie
What does that mean? Like, nibble on it? Like, no, no, no.
Jamie Lynn
You got like, eat.
Robbie
Cut it off.
Jamie Lynn
Eat a toe.
Paul Verze
No, no, no. Like, digest. Eat it.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like his pinky toe. You have to eat it. But he's like, I'll give you.
Robbie
Did he have it on ice already?
Jamie Lynn
No, he actually. It's a crazy story. He. He wanted the guy to come and cut it off. And then as the.
Robbie
As the guy wrong with Florida.
Paul Verze
That's what's wild.
Jamie Lynn
Every time the guy would lift up the knife and go to do it, he'd be like, wait, wait. He'd be like, but what? Like, how am I going to.
Paul Verze
What? And they filmed it.
Jamie Lynn
No, they did the story like HBO did the story of it. And basically what he says is like, he thinks the guy didn't even want him to eat his toe. He wanted somebody there to, like, talk with him about his fetish, that he wanted someone to eat his toe. So he's like, it's been years, and sometimes I go back to Craigslist, like, looking for money, and the guy's still there, but he still has all of his toes.
Paul Verze
So he just wanted to. Yeah, he just wanted to, like, discuss his fetish with. It was almost like a way for him to work it out.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
When he came up, I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Jamie Lynn
Every Time.
Paul Verze
Every time.
Jamie Lynn
So the guy told him, go doggy, look the other way. I'm going to cut off your toe. Don't even look at me. Because the guy wanted the money so bad. And then the guy was like, no, no, no, we can't. We can't do this. And then he paid him anyway.
Robbie
He gave him money.
Jamie Lynn
He paid him any. But my question is, so he's got.
Robbie
Five grand to just throw around.
Paul Verze
He should have just been like, hey, come over, talk about feet, and I'll give you five grand.
Jamie Lynn
Well, I think he want. I think he wants the person to think that he's a sick. Like, I think he wants the guy being like this guy.
Robbie
Because I need. I need. I need actual footage of this, man. I would watch a lot of footage.
Paul Verze
What's wrong? You ever like, just, what's wrong with Sir Dude? The grown man? No, the grown men who have, like, day jobs in finance on Wall street, and they come home with the nanny and they're in a crib in diapers and she was feeding them baby food and.
Jamie Lynn
Shut up.
Paul Verze
Oh, dude, I'm talking like powerful men that make.
Jamie Lynn
She's so sheltered.
Paul Verze
Seven figures on will come home. And they turned a room into a baby nursery, but for them. And they're in a diaper and they're acting like a baby and they're getting fed baby food with a big thing like that Goo Goo Gaga big giant pacifier and shit. It's the craziest shit. Yeah, I've. That's. I like, I want to talk to them more than a serial killer, because a serial killer, you know, like you. Like you. I've seen interviews with Dahmer.
Robbie
Yeah, I've seen Ted Bundy.
Paul Verze
I want to talk to that fucking dude who's on the trading floor trying to close deals and then he's fucking demanding Gerber food and shit at night.
Jamie Lynn
I mean, you've heard of this, of course, but also, would he. Would he love anything more than pg?
Robbie
I was gonna say. I thought you were gonna.
Jamie Lynn
So we've got a guy, and we might have to beep some of this out. We haven't figured out how exactly we're doing it. There's a guy who has a foot fetish for Jamie Lynn. Who DMs her.
Robbie
I posted a photo of Rob and I in my living room. I don't think about the feet people. I don't think about my feet. I happen to be. I had happened to have both my feet up on a coffee table with my soles feet straight to camera.
Jamie Lynn
It caused chaos.
Robbie
It caused chaos. And then this man who we called PG to protect his person. Person starts DMing me and being very specific about the types of photos he would like. He was being respectful. But, like, I would like a photo of. Are you gonna play his voice? I would like a photo of you and Rob in a car. You in the passenger seat with your.
Jamie Lynn
Feet up, all his bottoms, flawless bombs.
Robbie
Yes, I have flawless bottoms. He told me. So we got him to call in. I didn't get him. They got. They got in contact with him. He called in. We did an entire episode with him. He's in.
Paul Verze
Oh. What?
Jamie Lynn
We might have to beep that. We haven't figured it out.
Robbie
Oh, I thought we. I thought. Well, he openly talked about it because we had him on again.
Jamie Lynn
That's the thing. We're trying to protect him because we're like.
Robbie
And he's like.
Jamie Lynn
And he's like, no, no, here's where I work. Like, here's. And he's like, I want this out there. It's cool. And we're like, dude, people are. There's what? Thousands of people are gonna come.
Paul Verze
He's like, like, working now.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to show. Show him a picture of pg? Yeah. And by the way, his Instagram is him in the. Oh. And we first saw him. We're like, oh, he must be like.
Paul Verze
And saying the word flawless bottoms means he's like, that's lingo, dude. Bro, I just think dating is hard today.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, See, dating.
Paul Verze
So Italian. Oh, my God. That sounded so.
Jamie Lynn
You just call it Marble lights.
Paul Verze
Oh, my God. I was smoking a cigarette, but standing up.
Jamie Lynn
This is our boy pg.
Paul Verze
Oh, my God.
Jamie Lynn
Oh, wait, there's a page, too. Oh, yes. Hey, Jamie.
Paul Verze
What's going on here? Keep growing your hair.
Jamie Lynn
Keep growing your hair. This was my favorite thing he said he was trying to describe.
Paul Verze
Are you guys enabling a stalker? Like, what the fuck?
Robbie
I was not. I was not into port of this, let me tell you.
Jamie Lynn
No, but then the second time. Last time we called him, you were the one who wanted to call him.
Robbie
What do you mean?
Jamie Lynn
It was your idea. You were like, let's get PG back on. There's pg. Yeah.
Robbie
You're like, I know him, dude.
Paul Verze
He looks.
Jamie Lynn
He was trying to describe a car, and this is what he said. The car is parked.
Paul Verze
Oh, my God, dude. Like, he caught. He must call his boy Angelo. She had flawless bottoms. Kids bottoms. Yes. Oh, my God.
Jamie Lynn
And he's like, yo. When I. Because we thought. Because at first he was like, can we use just my initials, everything. Then the second time we called him, he's like, hey, when I showed this to the boys, oh, they loved it. Like, they. They think I should say my name and say where I live and all this stuff. So now I don't know if that's a good idea. That's what I said. So we're going to be beeping. Yeah, most of it, but we're still going to put a little stuff in. It's tough. We got to.
Robbie
We got to figure it out.
Jamie Lynn
And there's two complaints files.
Robbie
Cigarette in his hand in that.
Jamie Lynn
Wow, Jamie, you. You are so dialed with pg. Wow.
Robbie
And my eyes are so bad.
Paul Verze
He's holding a cigarette at the.
Jamie Lynn
Oh, you know what it is? He's such a nuisance that he's actually doing a bit here. Like, he's like, look, I'm gonna be like the boss. Like, you know what I mean? He's not allowed to stand. Guys get a lower head.
Paul Verze
So I'm gonna do an invitation.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, we're smoking.
Paul Verze
Like, yelling at us. This is. Oh, yelling at us, right?
Jamie Lynn
Oh, my God. Dude, this guy's the best.
Paul Verze
This guy is. So your feet was just. Your flawless bottoms were floating around.
Robbie
I was giving him.
Jamie Lynn
Oh, fucking ho.
Robbie
Giving them for free.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah.
Robbie
Apparently I could be making great money.
Paul Verze
For, dude, if that was on. What was it? OnlyFans?
Robbie
Yes.
Paul Verze
What do they get? Like, I think they were getting 30 grand a foot or something.
Robbie
That's my plan being.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, I think. You know what? I kind of think, like, I think we should really go for it. Look, but this is the picture. It's not like she had her feet. Like, it's. It's so invasive and, like, my feet are, like, dirty. Oh, he loved that. He. I think he likes the dirty foot.
Robbie
That was a code.
Jamie Lynn
You could barely. Like, nobody. Nobody would.
Paul Verze
Like. You have to be. It's got to be like, a real fetish to, like, zoom in on that.
Jamie Lynn
Like, people were like, oh, the dog.
Paul Verze
And here's the other thing, too.
Robbie
Oh, thanks, guys.
Jamie Lynn
There you go. Somebody's got a fetish back there.
Paul Verze
Yeah, no, but here's the thing. Like, I could understand somebody liking a foot at the top. Like, at the top. Like, not even a fetish, but just.
Robbie
Going to show angle of a foot.
Paul Verze
Not. Not. Not even a fetish way. But if you see somebody on the beach, you're like, oh, that person has nice feet. Yeah, but it's on the top with nails. Making sure the. To the length for sure. Down the ladder or down The. Whatever.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Paul Verze
Bottoms is like. To look at somebody's bottoms and go like. That's like a fetish.
Jamie Lynn
Fetish. Yeah. It does nothing for. I don't get it. I don't get the whole foot thing. It's never.
Paul Verze
I will say this. I. I've saw an. An Irish woman's hands, and she was like, 40, and it looked like she was laying bricks all day. And that was a. That's a. That's bad.
Robbie
Is that. Is that a known thing? Irish people have bad hands.
Paul Verze
Hands are like a. Hands.
Robbie
Your hands are lovely.
Jamie Lynn
I've never worked a day in my life. That's how you get these.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
You act a pod from the time.
Paul Verze
You'Re six and you got flawless tops.
Jamie Lynn
Flawless tops. Yes.
Paul Verze
No, I. I could see somebody going, hey, that person's really attractive, but their hands are really. That's a. That's. That's something.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah.
Paul Verze
But you hold hands. You put your hands around. Right.
Jamie Lynn
I gotta say.
Robbie
Or like, I like when guys have little hands.
Paul Verze
Hands, yes.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah.
Robbie
When like a big dude has a little hand.
Jamie Lynn
But I kind of like the. Like, I would like it if, like, my chick was at 10, but our hands are like a 2.
Robbie
I have bad. I kind of like wrinkly, veiny hands.
Jamie Lynn
I don't think they're bad. They're just not Irish, you know, they're not the pure.
Robbie
See, look at this.
Paul Verze
I mean, that's a Irish hand.
Jamie Lynn
You want to see real Irish. Look at these forearms. I don't even know if I can get it up here. That's an Irish forearm. If that's a. That belongs in a bar in Dublin. So my arm is Irish As.
Paul Verze
Yeah, I got Irish hands for sure. That's hilarious.
Jamie Lynn
Here. So here's. Here's. Here's a question I've been very excited to ask.
Paul Verze
If.
Jamie Lynn
For. What is the amount of. So let's. Let's just start at. For $10 million.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
Would you be a piece of. To everyone you know? And, you know, maybe it's different for you guys because you're married or whatever, so maybe you take out, like, your people you live in your home with, but, like, for $10 million, would you be a piece of to everyone you know, for the next year? And then at the end of that year, you could never tell them why. You just have to go from, like, all your best friends, people who. You're like, I love you. I'll tell you. To just a piece of shit.
Paul Verze
I couldn't.
Jamie Lynn
I couldn't either.
Paul Verze
I couldn't because the people that I love and care about doing something that's so out of my character and not in my soul to do would. Would hurt me. And to see their reaction, even the first or second time, would be so soul crushing. And they would go home. And me knowing that they're going home, questioning why somebody that was always nice and warm to them is now doing that. It's not worth the money.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. Yeah, you. That's my. You could be sitting right here. That's my.
Robbie
I could ever find somebody that could say yes to that.
Paul Verze
Yeah, of course there's some.
Jamie Lynn
I have some people who I wouldn't be. I have people who I wouldn't be mean to who would say yes to that. Like my friends who would be like 10 million for a year. Like, yeah, they'd be like, fuck. I'm like.
Paul Verze
But I buy them a cough, tell me, shut the fuck up.
Jamie Lynn
My. My. My question then become. Because you couldn't do it either, right?
Paul Verze
No. Right? Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
You can't be mean to anybody.
Paul Verze
A good person couldn't do it. Right.
Jamie Lynn
Well, here. Because here's where it changes for me, right?
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Robbie
What if Cutter would do it?
Jamie Lynn
What if the saint. Well, he does it now. What if the same thing, you have to treat everyone like shit. But at the end of that year, you could then go and you could tell everyone, hey, and you could do whatever you want. You could give him. You could give your boy 500,000. Be like, bro, I was beat like my best friend, I've been best friends with for 35 years.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Robbie
I can't know during that year, right?
Jamie Lynn
I think because of how I know him, I think if I treated him like ship for a year, it would only be a month because we'd stop talking after that. But then at the end of that year, I hit him up with like half a mil, and I'm like, bro, I'm back. Like, we're back.
Paul Verze
Oh, Rob. Let me ask you this though. When you say treat him like a piece of shit. What are we doing here?
Jamie Lynn
No, you're not. Like, you're not. You're just like.
Paul Verze
You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, like a dickhead.
Jamie Lynn
You're a dick. Yeah, you're a fucking. What are you calling me for? Like, you know, like, I don't know.
Paul Verze
And I could. After a year, I could be like, hey, that was. Kill me.
Robbie
It would.
Paul Verze
It would hurt me so bad. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if I'm built like that.
Jamie Lynn
See, I think. I think if I have the. At the end of the year thing.
Robbie
You would be mean to me for a full year.
Jamie Lynn
Well, again, there's mean or then there's like, jamie, what do you want?
Robbie
Like, you know, that's not me.
Jamie Lynn
If I have to be like you, Jamie, like, that's. That's wild. I couldn't. You put a sad face in our group chat the other day, and I was like, all right, fine, Whatever you want. Like, you know, because I asked him.
Robbie
To do an assistant escape room with me, and he gave me a hard no, and so I gave a sad face, and we're going tonight to do one.
Paul Verze
No, you're not, are you?
Robbie
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
I'm so bummed. I'm so bummed about. But she put a crying great content.
Robbie
For the show, Rob.
Jamie Lynn
That's. I know, but I never saw. I never made her sad. I'm like, I. Well, I don't. Sure, we can go. I was like, I'm just gonna sit in the corner and watch football then. Like, I'm not gonna help you.
Paul Verze
My delusional mind. I'll be like, nah, you know, I'll make 10 million in a year anyway. Like, I would just try to. I couldn't do it. Yeah, yeah.
Jamie Lynn
See, I think I could.
Robbie
And the karma.
Jamie Lynn
Because here's the thing, right? I also back everything. It's like, have you ever surprised somebody? Like, where you're like, I'm coming there. They don't know this. And you. That moment. Like, I think I would have that moment so many times with so many friends who really need to be helped out of certain spots that they're in of being like, yo, here's. Remember that picture of Conor McGregor you put up as a joke? Like, that's you now. Like, you got the 500k using it as a phone.
Paul Verze
Like, oh, so you're almost doing it to, like, in the long run, help them. Like, almost like, hey, dude, I was.
Jamie Lynn
Being a dick for you.
Paul Verze
I was. This is for you.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they'll be like, I'm so sorry. I'm like, it's okay.
Paul Verze
If I had a select group I can pick, then. Yeah. But I couldn't do it to people that were really like, That I loved. No, I couldn't do it, man. Because here's.
Jamie Lynn
I think I could for that year just to be hitting them with that half a mil scheme.
Paul Verze
What happened? Not to bring it back dark, but what happens if you die during that year you didn't get to.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. Then they'll remember the good 39 I had, you know, and they'll, maybe they'll forget the other. Like Tyson said. I don't care. Like Tyson sold that little four year old girl. I don't care about legacy.
Paul Verze
Dude, that was the best, that was the greatest thing I have ever seen. Going to die, what do I care? She goes, yeah, that's true. She goes, I never heard that before. But yeah. He goes, we're dead.
Jamie Lynn
What does it matter?
Paul Verze
That's the greatest thing I've ever seen.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. He's like, she's like, I never thought about it that way.
Robbie
He walked away from that interview with his bare ass. And you could see the cameraman a little bit like, whoops. Like the camera moved just a little bit. What? He's the best.
Paul Verze
He, he just never disappoints. Even when it's, even when it's disappointing.
Robbie
You're right.
Paul Verze
That he's just always on like, it's perfect.
Jamie Lynn
I hung out with him a bit before. Oh yeah. Here's. I hung out with him a bit right before. Like he came out with that pictures was. Yeah, yeah. When he came before he came forward with like the weed stuff, that he was a big weed smoker.
Paul Verze
Yeah, yeah.
Jamie Lynn
And we were doing this job together and they asked him, hey, would you be like, would you act on this thing? And he said yes. And they were like, well, what do you need? And he's like, I need a car with Xbox in it and just to be able to smoke weed in the car and play Xbox. And that's all he wanted.
Robbie
What was his game of choice? Do you know?
Jamie Lynn
I didn't go near the car. Yeah. I was like, Tyson's doing his thing. I'm not gonna go knock on the window with a hot box car. But he was just, he was in there when they needed him, he'd come. He was great. He was a nice guy. But when he was, he was like, I'm going right to play Xbox and smoke weed.
Robbie
Imagine if it was just like him and Guitar Hero for like three hours.
Paul Verze
He's, he's like kind of like brilliant in a weird way.
Jamie Lynn
Oh yeah.
Paul Verze
Like he says some really heavy deep.
Robbie
Shit, but when you smoke that much weed, do that many mushrooms. I'd hope it eventually becomes a spiritual experience.
Paul Verze
Yeah, I can't do like that.
Robbie
You can't?
Paul Verze
No.
Robbie
Why do you get paranoid? Crazy?
Paul Verze
I'm like, yeah, I would get like, you know, just having like anxiety and depression sometimes. It just, it would kick in. But if I'm, if I'm not working, like my rule Is if I'm not on stage for three or four days and I'm with people that I love, I'll take it edible or smoke a little bit and have some. Because I know the next day, even if I'm foggy, I'm not getting on stage or, you know, I have a few days before I have to travel, but if I'm doing that, I can't. Like, I get all up.
Robbie
Have you always been that way with it or did it turn on you?
Paul Verze
Yeah, I'm like a drink. I'm like, I like to have a couple of cocktails here and there. But the. The weed. Yeah, I've had. I've had some really bad. I've had. I had an edible experience that was. Well, yeah, it was. I was. It was. I went to bed without it hitting and then I woke up in like an hallucination.
Jamie Lynn
It's the worst.
Paul Verze
So, dude, it was nuts, man. My. My brother in law had gave me this like chocolate bar and they. In the chocolate bar there were little boxes. So he goes, only one. This is the strongest shit that's out there. So I came home is New Year's Eve and I wanted my wife to stay up so I could watch like the ball drop and hang. And she literally, like, the house was kind of dark and she was like ready for bed. It was not a. Yeah. And like we poured a glass of wine. She's like, all right, well. And I'm just sitting there. I flew home for. I was performing in Albany and I flew home and I'm just on the couch alone. Everyone went to bed and I got this like white macadamia chocolate shit. And I was like, all right. So I bit it and it was delicious. And like 45 minutes went by. Nothing. So I just took a giant bite at like 3 in the morning.
Jamie Lynn
Tail as old as time.
Paul Verze
And I. And this is like, this is probably like five years, six years.
Robbie
Oh, I hate this.
Paul Verze
And I slept in my son's bedroom, right? And he was. So. He's 15 now. So he was. He was like 9 or 8 and he had like. So I just woke up a dinosaur? No, he had Darth Vader here and he had a fucking goldfish that he won out of at a. He. He won this goldfish and he had it for six years and it kept getting in bigger tanks. He just went to this fair, he started throwing ping pong balls and he came home with fucking like 18 fish. They all died except this one.
Robbie
Wow.
Paul Verze
And this thing was like this. And like, I looked at it. And the water going into it started sounding like whispers. And then I thought there were two Mexican dudes. I swear to God, I thought there were two Mexican. I heard two Mexican men, voices conspiring against me outside his door. And then I look up and I see Darth Vader. So I'm. And. And I. Wow. And I said, I gotta pee. And I sat up to pee. And when I got up to pee, I forgot what I got up for. And I didn't know I had to pee. So now I think I'm having a stroke or a brain bleed. So I go, stacy, I called my stack Stace. And she goes, what did you. I said, I. I can't remember anything. I don't know what I'm doing. I'm hearing things.
Jamie Lynn
Oh, no.
Paul Verze
And she goes, paul, I go, you gotta take me to the hospital. And she goes, you just gotta, like, you got to sleep it off, okay?
Jamie Lynn
Because she knew the weed.
Paul Verze
She goes, you have to just stay in bed and sleep it off. And like, I just stayed under the covers. It was like the worst. It was nine and a half hours. And I'm like, I'm not. There's no reason for this anymore.
Robbie
Nine and a half hours.
Paul Verze
I was. I was.
Robbie
It was.
Paul Verze
It was. I went to a place that I. Yeah.
Robbie
Dark.
Paul Verze
Like, somebody. Like. Like some. Some people can do it. Like, you know, Joey Diaz could. Some people could do like 200 mil. I. I am not built for that. You know, Give me a couple tequilas.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
You know, maybe one or two hits and I'm good.
Robbie
Yes.
Paul Verze
Something where I'm like, this isn't. I never understood those. Feel like I had friends that would, like in high school, smoke blunt after blunt.
Jamie Lynn
That was me.
Paul Verze
Take tests and be fine. Yeah. And I'm going like, I got friends that go on stage. Hi. And I'm going like, I just. Nah, I can't. So I'm not. I'm not big on that.
Robbie
Got it. It's understandable.
Jamie Lynn
What's crazy is I. I've done like 90 of the drugs that were out there when I stopped doing drugs 10 years ago, whatever. And like, the only shit to ever me up is weed, edibles, and Valium. Like, volume for some reason made me feel like I was on a ship and like, it me up.
Robbie
But then really, isn't Valium supposed to help with that?
Jamie Lynn
Well, you know, what's up? Actually, my friend's mom had Ms. And she had volume in the cabinet.
Robbie
Her Ms. I never got Valium for my Ms.
Jamie Lynn
This was, you know, this was 30 years ago. You know, they didn't know what to do back then. They would. And she just had. That's. That's what we thought.
Paul Verze
Is Xanax considered that? Is Xanax considered a volume?
Jamie Lynn
Xanax is a Benzo. That's the. That I. I was taking Xanax every day for I don't even know how many years, eight years or some. And, like, I had to go get help to get. Because you could die from draws. Like, you stopped Xanax and alcohol. The only thing that you could die from the withdrawals.
Paul Verze
Wow.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, you could. If you stop cold turkey, you could die.
Paul Verze
Holy. I did not know that.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, so. But. But the. Yeah. Weed edible was the only thing that I have. Like, somebody would be like, take these 10 Molly. I'd be like, let's go, anything. But if somebody was like, eat this brownie. I'd be like, no, I can't. I can't do it.
Paul Verze
There's something about ingesting it that just takes. Takes you to another, you know?
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. And it's. And it's. It's like, I used to be able to. I smoked so much weed that I would be able to smoke weed. And if something happened that I needed to snap out of it, I snap out of in a second. Like, I'd be like, yeah, I'm not high anymore.
Paul Verze
Like, you could do that.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, because. But again, I was. I smoked every day from the time I was 12 until I was 20. Whatever. Like, I don't even know. So, like, yeah, I would smoke and be like, yeah, I'm like, there was. You go through a phase where you go, I don't get high anymore.
Paul Verze
Yeah. Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
No, I would just smoke and smoke and smoke a big. And then you get high one day and you're like, oh, that's great.
Paul Verze
I forgot about. Yeah. Like, these guys, like, Snoop and shit, like, they must not get high. Like, if they smoke a blunt, they're not getting high, right?
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. I mean, you. You go through phases. Like, so I remember, like, there would be weeks at a time where I'd be like, yeah, I just. Like, that first smoke of the day, you'd be like, all right, I'm a little high. And then after that, like, whatever I did, I'd be like, nah. Like, wow, you're not really smoke weed or.
Paul Verze
No, you do.
Robbie
Yeah, I mean, I've. There was a period of time I didn't real. I never really started smoking weed until I was 33.
Paul Verze
Oh, okay.
Robbie
And it just became just like, my ritual at night, like, I'd put my kid to bed because I don't drink, so I would just, you know, like, have a little.
Paul Verze
That would be like one hit.
Robbie
Yeah, that would be my mellow out. But I've gone through periods of time where I don't at all.
Paul Verze
And you don't with wine at all. Like, you won't have a glass of red.
Robbie
Alcohol is just not my friend. I just don't feel good on it. I feel really shitty the next day. It's just like, not. It's just never mixed well with me.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, she gets hammered off of three sips too.
Robbie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Paul Verze
That's like, once I hit 40. The hangovers are a couple drinks. You're like, what happened?
Robbie
Yeah, yeah.
Jamie Lynn
Mine was 28 when I. When I stopped because it was just so. But I was also Molly and smoking and Percocets, and I would wake up every day and like, withdrawals. It was terrible. Yeah, like pills and. But yeah, I remember going to places with Jamie where like, we would walk in somewhere and like, they would be like, oh, here are your. You know, they give us like a booth or whatever and like, you sit up on the thing. We sit in there and like, you guys want drinks or whatever and be like, oh, what did they give her? Like, I'd be like, yeah, tequila rocks. You'd be like, yeah, champagne. I would like, turn my head this way and turn around, and she'd be like, oh, you'd be finished and just wobble. And I'm like, I mean, I'm never.
Robbie
Sloppy, but yeah, I was clearly drunk.
Jamie Lynn
You would be like, I. I remember there was one time we were in Miami, and like, she. She like, you know, a glass of champagne, they don't even fill up. And she still had champagne in the glass. And she was like, rob. Like. And I was like, I was like, this can't be real. Like, I'm like, I'm having 12 shots to like, get in the shower at this point.
Paul Verze
Yeah, probably. That's probably better.
Robbie
I want to go to sleep early. It's just like, I'd rather be sober and up and enjoying myself all night with my friends than like, have to, like, you know, leave because I'm too drunk after a half. A half a glass of wine.
Paul Verze
How great is going, like, with kids going to bed early? Dude, if you. Dude, if you lie. Like, if you lie in bed at like the other day, I Look, it was 9:30 and I looked at my.
Robbie
So late.
Paul Verze
And I go, really? No, that. See for Me, She's.
Robbie
Well, because you're a comic though.
Jamie Lynn
You'll.
Paul Verze
You'll go like 7:30.
Robbie
Oh, yeah. No, if you text me past 7:38, no way I'm writing you back.
Paul Verze

Robbie
But then also I put my phone away and I don't like, look.
Paul Verze
What are you out cold? But my wife is out cold by 10.
Robbie
Oh, I'm out cold every once in a while, like really rally so I can watch a show with my husband. But no, I've never see past nine.
Paul Verze
Wait a minute. So rallying for you is getting denied?
Robbie
Oh, yeah.
Jamie Lynn
So I usually. I usually go over on Sundays.
Paul Verze
No, that's awesome.
Jamie Lynn
In between the 6 and 7 o'clock game, she starts like winding down. And then around, you could see, like.
Robbie
My battery's starting to get low.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. And then especially if it's one of the nights where she chooses to smoke weed at 7:30 on the couch, she'll be like cutter with her husband. Like, yeah. She'll be like, can you carry me to bed? And he'll carry her like a baby into the bedroom and put her to bed. And then he comes back out and we gamble on football all night.
Paul Verze
Yeah, that sounds awesome.
Jamie Lynn
It's the best. Yeah. Every Sunday, it's just.
Robbie
He has somebody to hang with. I don't get shit for going to bed early.
Paul Verze

Jamie Lynn
Yeah.
Paul Verze
That's awesome that you guys do that.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
No, my wife is like, as soon as, like, if there's any noise after 10, she's like, you know, I'm sleep, like during the week, you know, I'm sleeping and I'm just like, I'm a comic.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
So like, for me, if I can get down before 1:30.
Robbie
Whoa.
Paul Verze

Jamie Lynn

Paul Verze
But, like, yeah, the other night I. I watched. I binge watched Cobra Kai. It was. It's horrible.
Robbie
I love Cobra Kai.
Paul Verze
It's the. It's so bad. It's incredible.
Robbie
Yeah. Well, I haven't seen. I have. I. I think I checked out season three, but I loved it.
Paul Verze
I'm literally going, they're gonna fight here. Nobody would fight here. Nobody would fight here. And then it's a melee. I'm like, that's the dumbest shit. And then I'm like, I'm watching the next episode.
Robbie
You got it.
Paul Verze
I have to watch the next. It's so bad. I'm like, this is incredible.
Robbie
But what time you wake up?
Paul Verze
So, like, I'M I wake up around nine, but I'll stay in bed doing work on my phone until like 10. And then I get up.
Robbie
Is that when you're out that on the road or at home?
Paul Verze
At home.
Robbie
Well, your kids are older so you don't have.
Paul Verze
They're at school. Yeah, they're at school until like two something. So. But yeah, on the road I'll sleep in until like, I'll stay in bed till like 11. On the road at home, I'll be like, not. Yeah, yeah.
Robbie
Wow.
Paul Verze
But then if I have to do two shows, the second show starts at it. The second show starts at 10. I'm not on stage until close to 11. Like a little before 11. I'm not back at the hotel until like 11. I mean, 1245.
Robbie
Right.
Paul Verze
I can't just, you know, wind down, relax, you know, and all that.
Robbie
So it's tough.
Paul Verze
Yeah, it's tough.
Jamie Lynn
The, the last thing before we go, I wanted to. That I thought about because we talked about things that like, change your life a lot. Like, when did you find this? I was in California, we're going to New York. I was with Joe Perino, our friend, and he came out, we were about to leave to go fly back to New York, and he came out with a suitcase in jeans. And I was like, bro, you can't sit next to me on a plane for six hours in jeans. Yeah, like, that's great. And he's like, what do you mean? I'm like, throw on sweatpants or whatever. Those kind of like, what a comfortable pant.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
And we landed and he looked at me and he was like, thank you. Like that, that's. And I'm like, you're insane. When I see people getting on a six hour flight in jeans, I'm like, no, I can't even wear jeans to sit here. Like, I can't get. I haven't worn jeans in a long time. Yeah. Like, as soon as I put on those first, like kind of tail.
Robbie
What is it about it? Is it the button and zipper?
Jamie Lynn
It's like, it's like an, like, I don't know, autism that I get a thing of. Like, all I'm thinking about are the jeans I'm wearing. I'm like, I'm in jeans. Why am I in jeans? Like, once you live in sweatpants for long enough, you go back and you.
Robbie
Go, the second I get home, I put sweatpants on. I'll never.
Jamie Lynn
The world is my home.
Paul Verze
Do you have a meant. Like, do you. I'm not. I'm not trying to. Do you have a mental illness? Like, are you. You have OCD and shit? Yeah, because I have ocd.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah.
Paul Verze
No, no. You know, listen, in my business, I could. I know I talk to people like, there's. There's a. There's levels. Everybody's got their shit where you like, oh, there's either this guy's completely out of his fucking mind.
Robbie
Right.
Jamie Lynn
Or there's little things that need to be 100%.
Paul Verze
Yeah, yeah. No, if I'm going to, like, Florida or like, if I'm flying to, like, Charlotte. Like, I went to Charlotte last weekend for my cousin's wedding. If I'm in jeans, I'll deal with it. I usually don't, though. I'm usually sweatpants on the plane.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
But anything over two and a half, three hours, I mean, I'm comfortable. You have to be.
Robbie
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
I also hate going out and doing stuff so much that I wear sweatpants everywhere because I hope at the door someone tells me I can't come in. Like, I hope they're like, sorry, you can't come in. And those. I'm like, oh, damn. Like, if we go.
Robbie
Like, there's no dress code at the escape room.
Jamie Lynn
That's what I was just gonna say. If we went to the escape room, they're like, sorry, no sweatpants.
Paul Verze
I'm like, oh, like, what if they were like, you need to be like, it's like business casual. You're not going?
Jamie Lynn
No, for a wedding, I'll do it for a funeral. I actually have a pair of, like, black soft jeans.
Robbie
Funeral.
Paul Verze
You have like, out. That's great.
Jamie Lynn
Like, stretchy jeans that I wear for a funeral. And you should be thinking about this poor person in the casket. All I'm thinking about is I need. I can't be. I need to be in sweatpants.
Paul Verze
Are you a touch or numbers person with OCD or. No?
Jamie Lynn
No. It depends on what's going. Like, my OCD gets bad right before I'm flying because, like, it's like I have no control in the plane or whatever. So I started. I start thinking, like, these things will give me control so I'll do like, weird shit. No, I never really had. Like, sometimes I can. I would want things. Like, if it's a bunch of things, I'd want them in order, but, like, I don't kind of. It's weird. It goes in like waves.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
And also I'm way healthier than I was 10 years ago when I was like a full blown addict. And I would be. I would do things that, like, were, you know. You know, I was just. Yeah. Just taking pills all day, sitting home. Chainsaw could say I was like, pg. I was like our boy pg. I was just chain smoking cigarettes. Like, manic, you know, crazy.
Paul Verze
Flawless bottoms.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. Flawless bottoms. Yeah. Absolutely. Flaw.
Paul Verze
Yeah. No, I. I had the thing with the numbers and the touching. I had stuff like that. I wouldn't, you know, not to get heavy, but when.
Robbie
Shit.
Paul Verze
When my parents had a brutal thing, a brutal divorce when I was like, five, and there was a column between our living room and our kitchen, and my stepfather and mother noticed that I would never walk through it. I would walk around the column and they were like, that's weird. And I was only in third grade. That's like the first time I ever had a panic attack. That's like the first time all these weird things were happening. And it was because of what was going on, but I didn't know. So in my mind, the control, the only control I had, if I walked around it, I had some sort of control. Control. But if I walk through with something bad's gonna happen, something bad's gonna happen to my mother. All kinds of wild. So that goes on. But the. The good news is it happened so young that I have, like, a really good understanding about it.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
So do you. Does it still come and go in ways or it's completely gone?
Paul Verze
No, no, it was like. It would be bad. Like, I would have OCD thoughts. I'd be on the road again, Kentucky, and, like, ready to perform, and I would have thoughts, and I would just sit on the bed and I would try to break down the thought. I didn't understand why, so I wanted to know why. And then one day, I was like, 26, 27 years old. I read something online that described I'm a pure obsessive. So it's called a puro. What a puro is, is It's. It's not really physical or doing things, even though I had a couple of those. It's more unwanted thoughts, intrusive thoughts, you know, like, what if I did someone? If I harmed somebody. I love all kinds of wild shit that. And the book says I'm more pro. I'm more likely to not do it. Somebody that doesn't have the thought will would do it before I would do it.
Robbie
I have this too.
Paul Verze
Yeah. There's intrusive thoughts, like. Like I would hold my son and be like, I have such control, this boy, that if I. What if I threw him? And then I would have that all.
Robbie
The time when I would hold my kids when they were babies, like, yeah.
Paul Verze
What if I'm standing on a train platform? What if I jump in front?
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
So I would do that. But it would get. It would get crazy. It would get this. It would get weird. It would get sexual. All these fucking nutty things going, what? Like, I'm a good person. So I read this thing online and this woman just broke it down in this, like, thing online. And I literally start crying. I'm like, this is the first time. So I called this woman. I had to find out where this woman was. She's one of the best. I forgot. Fuck, I forgot her name. It was so long ago. She's one of the best OCD doctors in America and she's in Boston. And I called her and I was like, listen, I'm a comedian. I read this. This is the first time I've ever felt understood. So she called me back and she's like, look, it's a six month wait to see me, but if you're ever in town. And we just had a good talk. And she goes, you have a really good understanding of this. You really understand it. Because I was so young when it happened.
Robbie
Yeah.
Paul Verze
And so now when it happens, I'm just like, no, no, that's my mind. Like, I can now let it, you.
Robbie
Know, you can let it go.
Paul Verze
But it took. It took a long time. It took a long, long time. But I talked about it in one of my specials in my Comedy Central, my first special, and I talked about it and people were like, dude, I. I never heard of me. Thank you.
Robbie
Yeah, right now.
Paul Verze
Yeah. It's like, because those intrusive thoughts, those unwanted thoughts, what I.
Robbie
You start to judge yourself for them.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, no, well, that's something I've read that's really interesting. Is like, who's really a good guy? A guy who, because you think what they make you think it is, is like a guy who never thinks about cheating on his wife. Like, what a good guy? And it's like, well, no, isn't the better guy, the guy who thinks about cheating on his wife and goes, no, I wouldn't do that. Like, I won't do that because I love where it's like, what happens if one day the guy who never thinks about it thinks about it?
Paul Verze
Right?
Jamie Lynn
Like, who knows what he's thinking about?
Paul Verze
All of the horrible things that you think people don't want is normal. And that's what people need to understand. It's normal. It's normal to think about horrible things, death things, hurting people you love, fucked up, sexual, all of that kind of makes you a human being. But what happens is you don't understand that people understand that. So their anxiety brings it to a place where they think it's not. You know, now I can just be like, now I use it to my. Now I hone. And now I can use it to my advantage. Now I could use it on stage, now I could use it in my comedy. Because. So every. Because what I learned is everybody's fucked up. Everybody's fucked up. Everybody's got anxiety, everyone's got depression. People cope with it differently. Drugs, alcohol, you know, therapy, all different things. So once you know that and you could be honest and open about it, people are like, oh my God, thank you so good. When I remember when I talked about the depression that, I mean, I'm not gonna get into it now, but 2016, I went through this clinical 90 day depression where I couldn't get out of bed. Like, going to get a glass of water from my bed was like, the task was like too much, like to get out of bed to go to the next room to get well. Like, I remember my mother handed me a sandwich and a glass of water and I'm like, you're saving my life. And I wasn't eating. I was. It was. And it was like. And I never had it before. It was a clinical 90 day thing. And I remember talking about it when I did Rogan after my Netflix special. We went on and we just talked about it and dude, the amount of people, the amount of men going, dude. I cried. I didn't know. Like, dude. And it was just like, yeah, because it's like you're. Everyone's fucked up.
Robbie
Yes.
Paul Verze
Nobody. You're never gonna see somebody.
Robbie
This should be the title of your book.
Paul Verze
Everybody. Everybody's up. Yeah, like you could see a guy walking in the park with his wife, holding hands, laughing, smiling. You're like, somebody's abusing the other one in this.
Robbie
Or you can look at the. Or maybe not that, but you know, crushing it. And Wall street know that he's gonna go wear a diaper later and have a lady give him a bottle.
Paul Verze
And where does that come from? He probably something happened as a baby.
Robbie
That he didn't like.
Jamie Lynn
He wants his mother's love, isn't it?
Robbie
You get get stunted emotionally wherever your first trauma happened.
Paul Verze
When I heard that about porn, that's when it was like, that's why. That's when I was like a long time ago out Like a lot of times, like when they talk young.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Paul Verze
Yeah, that's the thing that.
Jamie Lynn
Then I'm like, no, Paris Hilton said that. Right? Like the white. When she.
Robbie
Because she was a child.
Jamie Lynn
That was. Yeah, that was. Yeah, that was different than getting.
Paul Verze
You want to laugh When I used to watch porn because I don't anymore. You know what my porn search used to be? My Google for the porn search was deep voice. No. No flawless bottoms. No, it would, it would be like I would look up interviews where the porn star was like never molested. Just love sex. And then I would listen to the interview and like women that were like, no, I had a great life. I just love sex. That would be. That's who I go to. Yeah, I had to.
Jamie Lynn
You know you should, you know what you should do?
Robbie
You should get it.
Jamie Lynn
You should start an ethical site where only women who. And there's like right before the respectable.
Paul Verze
Like I love this unethical. Just like they do a mental like background check. No abuse. Just a, just a.
Robbie
No guilt porn.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, just a straight up good old fashioned.
Paul Verze
The intro page is like, what happened to regular whores?
Jamie Lynn
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't you miss regular whores? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you like us and sit around wondering.
Paul Verze
You don't want to watch porn wondering what happened to that poor girl?
Robbie
Sure.
Paul Verze
You know, she's just a.
Robbie
That's right.
Jamie Lynn
Well, I could talk to you for.

Paul Verze
Oh, bonfire.
Jamie Lynn
Bonfire. Yeah, yeah, Serious.
Paul Verze
I just did that. Yeah.
Jamie Lynn
So I walk in and I go like what? I go, there's a vibe that I've never had here before that I don't know what it is and but they're very, they're smiling. How are you, bud? And I'm like, like, I'm like, I know something's off here. I. I just know it. I could feel like I have that new. I'm in New York, too. My senses are peaking. I'm like, something's going on here that I don't. I don't like. So we sit down, we're talking for, like, 10 minutes, and then all of a sudden, like, I think one of them was like, yeah, well, you. You have ocd, right? And I go, is that why nobody said hello to me when I walked in? And, like, shook my hand? And they're like, oh, we were told that, like. And I was like, you shake my hand, right? Right Now, Bobby Kelly, I. I had never gone into a room before where, like, right before, they were like, okay, Robert's coming in. Yeah, you can't touch him, and whatever. And I walked in, and I guess they thought, like, I was.
Paul Verze
Well, that's how I would feel with, like, if Howie Mandel walked in, right? I wouldn't know, because everyone's like, don't touch. So I don't want to be the dude to make him go, I'm not doing. You know, like.
Jamie Lynn
So you're right.
Robbie
Right, Right. Yeah, right.
Jamie Lynn
I was like, no, hug me. I was like, I need. I. I've never. I've never. And. But I couldn't put it together because you don't realize that, like, you.
Paul Verze
You felt.
Jamie Lynn
It's like a ceremony, you know, you walk in and you're like, oh, let's go. Like, especially New York or the community, like, you just thought, like, I'm like, this was like, no room I've ever walked in. I was like, what is it? Because, like, it's not a podcast. It's serious. I'm, like, trying to figure it out while your people.
Paul Verze
Nobody have, like, told them.
Jamie Lynn
I don't have people. I got.
Robbie
No.
Jamie Lynn
I got these guys, and I got these goons in the booth that probably. That probably spoke to. That probably spoke to Bobby Kelly. I don't know if they tried to set me up.
Paul Verze
You're not a germaphobe, are you? Or you.
Jamie Lynn
I mean, I have things, but it's not like, oh, don't say what's up to me. It's more like, I need to clean my hands before I eat. So, like, am I just.
Paul Verze
Just a. Like, hygienic? Exactly.
Jamie Lynn
Yeah. Now it's considered a problem, you know? But, yeah, I need to wash my hands before I do.
Paul Verze
No, I would feel that way. If I walked into a podcast and nobody said hi, and they were just, look, I'd be like, should I even be here?
Jamie Lynn
And the weirdest part was, was they were all like, what's up, man? Like, how are you? And I just felt like I was, like, something. It's just.
Robbie
That's so weird.
