Ralph
This was your writer last time we had you on our podcast.
Host 1
Yeah, they had a. They had me on their pod. And, like, right before, he's like, do you need anything? I'm like, yeah, two bottles of champagne. He's like, we're not prepared for that. And I was like, no, I'm just kidding. So then I wrote him, do you guys need anything? And he said, yeah, two bottles.
Jamie
Here they are.
Host 1
So this is. Yeah.
Ralph
Nice.
Host 1
Yeah, this is good.
Jamie

Nah. Yeah, I'm definitely driving. I drove here. How do you get. You. You Ubered here?
Hyman
Yeah, from the airport.
Ralph
Oh, that's bad.
Host 1
You want to get hammered?
Hyman
No, I've been sober.
Host 1
Yeah, good. Me too. So why'd you ask for two bottles.
Hyman
Of champagne for him?
Ralph
I'm trying.
Host 1
He's driving.
Ralph
Yeah. Why are you doing this, bro? I don't know. People's money.
Host 1
Damn, bro.
Hyman
He's got to celebrate his special, so.
Ralph
I'm doing all right.
Host 1
That's right. We got the special. We got the YouTube. We got the. We got the formula bean. YouTube. Yeah, we got thank. Dude, thanks for coming in. You. You drove. You flew.
Hyman
Yeah.
Host 1
Wow. This is. So. Last time I went to do their podcast, I thought they were just, like, around the corner, and they're like, yeah, we just drove three hours to come. Where. Where were we?
Ralph
I don't know that. That studio was kind of far out there.
Host 1
It was in the middle of nowhere.
Hyman
Yeah.
Ralph
Where in Texas had a sound bed.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
Did you remember that?
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
You didn't want to do it. You were scared.
Hyman
Yeah. Well, I think it was a YMH studios. Like, they work with them.
Host 1
Yeah, they work with them, but it's not like a Wyoming. But it's like a. You know. But the studio was dope. Like, the way that they decorated it, like, it looked really nice.
Ralph
Yeah.
Host 1
But I have. I have. I have no idea where I was. I've never been back.
Ralph
And the dude was like, we have these mushroom gummy things you can have. And I was like, no, I'm Okay. Because I'm like, had some bad trips and he was like, no, no, no, these are good. And I'm like, no, I'm okay. He's like, no, no, no, like they're good. Like just take them. So we took a bunch of mushrooms with us.
Host 1
Did you end up taking them or no, no.
Ralph
I'm sorry, guy. Everything people give me at podcast, I don't take them. I'm sorry.
Jamie
I agree. Yeah, I think that's the way to go.
Host 1
But then it's good cuz then there's somebody like in your family or somebody who's like happy when you give that to them.
Ralph
No, yeah, we just. Kik took them. Yeah, I think Kik took one and then the homeless guy took another one.
Host 1
Oh, that's good.
Ralph
So yeah, the guy gets a little escape for a while, you know, take.
Host 1
The edge off or he ended up in prison.
Jamie
Yeah.
Host 1
Because he, you know, wild it out a little bit. Did you, have you ever done mushrooms?
Hyman
No, I've never done any drugs. I mean, I smoke weed every now and then, but mushrooms, never. I see how he gets.
Ralph
I'm like, nope, no I didn't. Shut up.
Host 1
Wow, you make a fool yourself on the mushrooms.
Ralph
Maybe once. Usually I play real suave. You know what I mean?
Jamie
Usually.
Ralph
Usually I'm just like unlock 100 of my brain.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
Nah, maybe not. I would. I've never been the type to like, you know when they say, oh, you, you eat mushrooms and you become more in touch with like living organisms and like more in tune with yourself. I didn't get none of that. I just hallucinated a lot.
Host 1
Really.
Ralph
And then I remember things I didn't want to remember. Like notice things I didn't want to notice. Like I came to the realization that I've never like, I've never liked my voice.
Jamie
You've never liked your voice?
Host 1
Oh, you realize that on mushrooms?
Ralph
Yeah, Like I realized the first time that I realized that. Does that make sense?
Host 1
Yeah. No, but that's. It's weird because normally when you do those kind of drugs, you accept yourself more. You're doing the opposite. You're finding out what you don't like about yourself.
Ralph
Yeah, I remember I had like a flashback to like being in elementary school and people were trying to talk to me, but I didn't want to talk cuz because I thought I talked funny. So I wouldn't say anything unless I thought it was going to be funny because people would laugh at the way I talked anyway. You know what I mean?
Host 1
That is a big Realization, though, because that shows why you chose, maybe the profession you chose.
Ralph
Yeah, but that's what sucks about mushrooms, is because once I realized it, I was like, ah, I should have just been like a fisherman. Why'd I give into this? You know?
Host 1
Right. I let my hate for myself design my whole life.
Ralph
Yeah. What am I, Batman? Like, calm down. How are you guys been? What's new with you guys?
Jamie
Oh, you know, nothing.
Host 1
Yeah, I'm good.
Ralph
That's good.
Host 1
Chilling. That's good. I did some. I just did. Went to New York for a little bit. But I. I wanted to ask you if you could tell Jamie what you told me about your. What, like the realization you had when you were watching Sopranos. Like, what you learned about your family.
Ralph
Oh, yeah, I just. I really connected with it. I was telling them that I really like the scene when it's in. I think it's. Yeah. Season one, when Tony looks back at AJ at the funeral and he winks at him and then you look back at him and I'm like, like, I told you so.
Host 1
Yeah, yeah.
Ralph
It just, you know, it reminded me of my uncle a lot. Like, I. My family was involved in less than legal activities when I was a kid. Like, had a whole lot of stuff and that. Yeah, that show really, like, struck a chord.
Jamie
Wow.
Ralph
Oh, I've chills so many reasons. Yeah, it was cool. It's all. It's all. It's weird because, like, I almost want to talk to you guys. Like, you remember when your dad would.
Jamie
Yeah.
Ralph
So much crime on his mind. Right. It's like you somewhat recollect. But I gotta. I gotta remember you guys were playing characters at times.
Jamie
Yeah, I mean, I think the lines got blurry in the sense of just, you know, when you play a character for so long and like, you. Like, there were moments. I remember when Tony and Carmela, the scene where they tell us they're gonna get a divorce. Like, I was legit sad in that scene because it was like, oh, more of like, we're not gonna do our family scenes anymore. Like, I'm gonna miss this. So. Yeah, the lines definitely get blurry for it.
Ralph
I remember your character a lot of the time, you know, would like. Like any teenager would have, like, beef with Tony and Carmela and stuff. And. And she'd be like, oh, you know, I don't even talk to him anymore. Like, what do I care? And then, you know, as she gets older and I remember there's that scene where, like, Tony's getting arrested and your character was real mad. She's like, how could they embarrass him like that? Like, just, you know, showing power and stuff and. Yeah, that kind of. Yeah, that kind of hurt a lot too. Like, I remember when my uncle got busted, I was already. I was already grown. I was maybe about to be 18, and I. I went with one of his baby mamas to get money to go get a lawyer and immediately go to the. I forgot what it's called, like, because he had just been arrested. And then they do, like, the. I don't know what it's called where you, like, you know, each. They got, like, everybody they've arrested over the. Over the last night or so, and they're just like, how do you plead? Like, guilty, not guilty, no contest.
Jamie
Right.
Ralph
And then. But I remember when he was in there, he was in there with, like. It was like, U.S. marshals and, like, DEA and stuff. And like, he wasn't even allowed to look back at us. And I was just like, damn. Like. But, you know, not trying to say they're like, oh, DA's or evil, whatever. Like, I don't want to antagonize anybody, but. Yeah, I don't know. It's just. Sopranos was very relatable.
Jamie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ralph
I was also telling them how, like, when. When I was a kid, I felt like I related to AJ's character a lot.
Hyman
I was.
Ralph
I don't want to talk on aj, but I was a very spoiled, emotional kid, you know, I mean, I was taking a lot of things for granted, but now that I'm older, feel myself relating to Tony a lot, which is scary.
Jamie
Wow.
Ralph
Yeah. I yell a lot.
Host 1
Have you. Have you re. Watched the show? Like, do you watched it as a kid now? You watch it as an adult or you just.
Ralph
Yeah, no. Yeah. Because as a kid, I didn't really understand a lot of it. I catch it on TV with my uncle. My uncle actually loved the show, too. Yeah, my uncle, like, loved the show. He has a poster or, like, all of you guys signed it or something. You know, like, one of those things. Yeah, one of his other, you know, dealer friends gave it to him. That guy paid a lot of money for it a long time ago, gave it to him, and he left it at my grandma's house, and we take care of it and stuff. My uncle's free, by the way, and, like, alive.
Jamie
Great.
Ralph
So good.
Host 1
That's good.
Jamie
Shout out your uncle. I'm glad.
Ralph
Yeah, yeah, he's. He's paid his debt. He's a truck driver now.
Host 1
Oh, wow.
Jamie
Great.
Host 1
You get to spend time with him now.
Ralph
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He still, like, he lives, like, he's still in the life, right? He's not, thankfully, but, like, he's. He's well off. And so, like. Like, we were in. We had shows in Las Vegas, so he'll just pull up and just, like, party, like, if he's still young.
Jamie
Yeah.
Ralph
Guys pushing 50. But he's still, like, good for him.
Host 1
Yeah, yeah, we got. We definitely. I know some people like that. What are you. So you got a special that just came out.
Ralph
Yeah, yeah. On Hulu. It's called Planet Bosa. This is like, a nerdy reference to, like, Planet Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. Oh, wow.
Jamie
You're just speaking another language.
Host 1
You have. I've never seen. I've never seen Sopranos or Dragon Ball Z.
Ralph
Those are, like, the top two shows, man.
Host 1
I gotta. I gotta figure it out. But what. What I wanted to know from both of you, too, is like, 30 seconds before you go out and do stand up, what are you like? Like, I know I've been around a lot of comedians, and some of them are just like, yeah, whatever. And then other people, like, are like, no, I. Like, every time I go out, I black out. And, like, I don't remember. Like, I get very nervous still. Ten years in.
Ralph
Oh, I let Jaime go first on this one. Me.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
Yeah. Okay. But that's why I want your perspective.
Host 1
Yeah. What is it, like, 30 seconds before you're about to go on stage, how are you feeling?
Hyman
Nervous. Like I'm about to black out. And then it depends if I'm opening, like, code open, or I'm going up, like, in the between acts.
Ralph
That is way different.
Hyman
Because cut open, nobody knows who you are. You don't know if they're. People don't know if you're funny or not. And I'm like, any. The first stuff you say, like the first line in the joke, it's gotta hit, right?
Jamie
Otherwise you lose them, Right?
Hyman
Yeah, yeah.
Ralph
Because you only got, like, maybe 40, 50 of them that actually are gonna hear it. So if they hear it and laugh, then the other ones are gonna be like, wait, hold on. What do you say?
Jamie
Right?
Ralph
So then they can hear the next one.
Host 1
Because people are just, like, settling in.
Ralph
Yeah, they're settling in. Or a lot of people have that bias of, like, he's the first guy. He's gonna suck. Why even watch him? Of course.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
Oh, you go with that to shows, right? Do you go to shows?
Jamie
Sometimes. And I. Every time I go, I. I could never do do that. That it literally that is the scariest thing in the world to me is to be a stand up.
Host 1
Listen, I don't know about you but man, I feel like scams are everywhere lately.

Ralph
I. I like to. I'm either, like, 100 in it, like, riding the nerves, and I'm just focused on what I'm gonna say, or I'm just not there mentally at all. Like, I'm just escaping. Like, I'm in my mind imagining that. Look, I imagine, like, specific scenarios, too. You ever see a movie? Rain Man?
Host 1
Of course.
Ralph
Do you remember they stop somewhere, like, they're, like, in the middle of nowhere, like, Ohio or something. And Ray wants to watch. Was, like, Wapner and Tom Cruise stops at. At, like, some lady's house, and they convinced the lady to, like, let him watch, and she's like, my husband's gonna be home later. Right. Like, she tried. Yeah. And then the next thing you know, they're watching TV with, like, this lady's kids in the middle of nowhere. And, like, there's been times where I'm so nervous to go on stage. I imagine that house, and I'm just like, I could. I could be that lady's husband in, like, some life. Like, I could just be in Ohio right now. Wow. And just work somewhere and, like. But I'm just afraid of going on stage. You know what I mean? Like, I just don't want to think about it.
Host 1
Totally.
Jamie
Yeah.
Ralph
So I just, like, imagine the scenario, but then I go on stage, and, like, the nerves help you. Like, you need to ride the nerves kind of, like, grinding.
Host 1
When you said, like, I should just be a. A truck driver with an imagination like that. You can't just be a truck driver. You got to be in. You got to be in this business to think that, like, obscure.
Ralph
Yeah, I. I know. I. I wouldn't actually do it, but it's nice to, like, escape. You know what I mean? Of course.
Jamie
Of course.
Ralph
Like, it's either that or I imagine, you know? You know, some people imagine they'll, like, kill everybody. Like, I'll come in here. I'll do it.
Host 1
Like, of course.
Ralph
So I, like. I gotta take myself.
Jamie
Never heard that one.
Ralph
Oh, maybe nothing.
Host 1
No, I definitely.
Jamie
Yeah, I've heard a picture of Naked, but don't. Not murdering everybody.
Ralph
Not murdering, but, like, you know, some people, they get really stressed and they feel like they're gonna snap one day and just go off on everybody.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
So it's like, I don't like to imagine violent things. I like to imagine, like, that I just leave, like, in a dramatic fashion.
Jamie
Yeah.
Ralph
Just like a fisherman on a boat or something.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
Beard grown out.
Host 1
Anytime I'm on a treadmill and There's a person comes next to me on the treadmill and they start talking on the phone. I literally think, like, somebody could come in here with a gun and shoot that person in the head. And I would just keep walking. I wouldn't even. I wouldn't even, like, watch their body, like, get dragged off by the treadmill and the blood and everything. I would just maybe turn around, say thank you, and just keep walking. Because I think it's the. I think it is in, like, the top three rudest things I've ever seen in my life. Because what if everyone was doing that? What would the gym be like?
Ralph
It'd be a mess if 100 people.
Host 1
In the tremor were like, yeah, no, I told them to sell, I don't know, like, whatever the, like, business talk they do. And they're like, yeah, I'm gonna touch base with him on Wednesday.
Ralph
Or like, don't they say that in Japan everybody's like. I mean, I've never been there, but they say that, like, everybody's really quiet, like in Tokyo, like in public. Like in public transportation and stuff. But I almost find that more annoying.
Jamie
Oh, see, the silence is uncomfortable.
Ralph
Yeah. Like, and then if you're loud for any reason, like, I don't want. I'm afraid to be the loud guy. You know what I mean?
Jamie
Right?
Ralph
Yeah, I think I'd prefer to live in a loud world where I can be the quiet guy.
Host 1
Wow.
Ralph
I don't know.
Jamie
Give me the name of your book one day.
Ralph
I do want to write a book.
Host 1
Guy in a Loud World.
Jamie
Yeah.
Ralph
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would like to write a self help book.
Jamie
Yeah, I like that.
Ralph
Where I convince people that they're not autistic. Can you.
Jamie
Can you give us one tidbit right now? One chapter?
Ralph
I didn't think you would. I don't think it'd go this far, but yeah, I. It was just a dumb. I thought it would sound funny.
Host 1
The older I get. Asked me, the older I get, the more convinced I am I'm autistic. So I would need your. I would need your book. Yeah.
Ralph
Okay. I think that I may. All right, maybe you are autistic, but maybe you're not autistic enough. Okay.
Host 1
Yeah, yeah. Like, I shouldn't let it dictate my who, like, with your voice, like it did that dictated who you became.
Ralph
I shouldn't let it dictate because it's almost like. It's almost like a newer version of like, you know, like a really white dude would claim that he's like, 1 16th Cherokee.
Host 1
Yeah, I am. Yeah, my grandma's Cherokee. I never say it because of that thing. You see, I never, I never even told her no, because I don't say it because then you're that guy.
Ralph
Autistic is Cherokee.
Host 1
But see, I, I, I, I don't mind saying I'm autistic cuz I feel like it, I feel like it frees me a little bit where the Cherokee thing just made me feel like a fraud.
Ralph
Okay, okay.
Host 1
You know the, the, the autistic thing of like when people are like, how come you can't, you know, especially if I'm dating a girl and she's like, how come you can't come to my friend's birthday? I'm like, I'm autistic.
Ralph
I'm autistic.
Host 1
Yeah, you know, quiet guy, loud world.
Ralph
I think if you're really autistic, though, you can't say I'm autistic. You got to be like, because it's lame.
Jamie
Right?
Host 1
I don't want to be like, I don't like your friends and sometimes I don't even like you. And she's like, oh, that's the autism. Yeah, that's right.
Ralph
I don't want to say words, woman.
Host 1
Yeah, but, but I do feel like I spend a large portion of my life refraining from what would be considered like, autistic actions.
Ralph
Yeah. Hey, but when people. Okay, so like, did you, did you start noticing things about yourself that made you think I might be autistic or did other people notice them at first? First.
Host 1
What happened? I mean, I think like my whole life I drank and did drugs to just like quiet everything. And then once I got sober, I.
Ralph
Started having a lot of realizations. About yourself.
Host 1
Yeah, but, but I, I would. See, it's like I notice certain things and then other things I don't notice unless I'm dating someone and she's like, why do you do this? And I'm like, I don't know. Doesn't everybody do that thing like, like wiping my feet before I get, get into bed? Or like. So like I wipe my feet together?
Jamie
Oh, but not with like a wipe.
Host 1
No, no, I like wipe my feet together. But like, if I wipe my feet together, get in bed and then I.
Jamie
Go grab something, does wiping your feet.
Host 1
Together, it gets off any crumbs or anything that might be on my feet.
Jamie
Or it doesn't crush them into each other and into the bottom of your feet?
Host 1
Well, then I'm gonna do that on the bed anyway. I hope maybe it Just some things drop off.
Jamie
But do you wipe. Like, do you not get into bed without doing that?
Host 1
Every. And like, a girl will say, like, you got into bed, like, forgot something, and then you did it again. And she's like, how much stuff do you think got on your feet? I'm like, I don't know.
Ralph
Now. Now you're making me realize I do that. But now I'm like, wait, do I do that every time?
Jamie
You got to start paying attention.
Ralph
Yeah, you're making me realize things I don't want. You're like mushrooms right now. I don't want to hyper, like. Or what do you call it? Like, over obsessed. Hyper. Hyper fix it.
Host 1
Yeah, but that's. And then another real problem I have is, like, I do. I was telling Jamie, Like, I go, like.
Ralph
I thought. Wait, I thought you did that for.
Host 1
No. And then, like, I'll be dating a girl. And she's like, what was that? I'm like, what was what? And she's like, that noise. I'm like, I don't know. And then 30 seconds later, I do it again. She's like, what is that? I'm like, what? And she's like, you're making this noise.
Ralph
You know, a problem I have is I can't. Like, I. Like, I start to try to. I try to stop my habits before I do them in front of a girl when we start dating because I don't want her to pay attention to any of my habits and, like, dissect me.
Jamie
So when do you start to let them come out?
Ralph
I'll usually just stop dating the girl. I need to go back to rubbing my feet.
Host 1
I think that's autism. I think. Yeah.
Ralph
So I asked you that because people were telling me that, like, all right, so I have a friend who's I. We pick on him and be like, dude, you're so autistic. Like, you're very. Like, why don't you notice it? Like, everybody notices, but he's not. But we were just, like, trying to get in his head, you know? And then. And then people. Like, I would watch podcast clips where people would, like, mention me. Like, other comics who were, like, on a show with me or something, and then they started saying I was autistic. And then it started with me because I was like, wait, what? Like, no, no, not me, him. But then they're like, nah, take your option.
Hyman
Yeah, a friend.
Ralph
Oh, Luis. We always tell him he's autistic.
Hyman
Oh, me too.
Ralph
Yeah, but you're all right, you know.
Hyman
You guys ever put popcorn with ketchup.
Ralph
All right.
Host 1
That's my.
Hyman
It's a thing. I don't know.
Ralph
Is that autism?
Jamie
How do you even eat that?
Ralph
That's just weird.
Hyman
Heiment.
Jamie
Like, how do you even.
Host 1
Like, keep applying? No.
Jamie
Like, do you dip a.
Ralph
One at a time, like a baby at the house?
Hyman
Yeah. Like, again, like a little side. And just put ketchup and then just dip.
Jamie
But like, one. One kernel at a time, because you can't. Whoa.
Hyman
I mean, for real. That's. It's a thing.
Host 1
That's something. All right. I don't know if it's.
Jamie
I'm not gonna knock it. I love ketchup, but I don't think I'd put it on.
Host 1
How do you find out that that's your thing?
Jamie
Yeah.
Hyman
As a. I mean, as kids, it was a bunch of us at the house, and we just made snacks up.
Ralph
I do remember you eating, like, ketchup and crackers.
Hyman
Yeah, Ketchup and crackers.
Ralph
But you know what I think it is, too, is I think ketchup can, like, smooth out the saltiness of a snack.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
Yeah. I mean, like, fries and ketchup, so I could see that.
Host 1
Yeah.
Hyman
Go try it.
Ralph
No, I'm good.
Host 1
Yeah.
Jamie
Do you do ketchup on eggs?
Hyman
Yes.
Jamie
Yeah.
Ralph
He does a lot of ketchup on eggs. He does ketchup on everything.
Host 1
If he does ketchup on popcorn, he's pretty much just ketchup through pasta.
Hyman
No.
Host 1
Pizza. I. I've seen, like, the very rare person who dunks their pizza in ketchup. I think it's the most disgusting thing in the world.
Jamie
Yeah. That's nasty.
Ralph
How do you guys feel about. Wait, do you. Wait, do you do it?
Hyman
Well, ketchup and ketchup.
Ralph
Yeah.
Hyman
No, that's good.
Host 1
Have you ever tried that?
Hyman
I'm going to try it now.
Host 1
Don't. Don't. Because what if you get hooked?
Ralph
How do you guys feel about pizza and ranch?
Jamie
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Ralph
You like that?
Jamie
Yeah, I feel like that's common.
Host 1
I was. I was, like, 25 years old, and I was dating a girl, and we went back and this is. Growing up in New York City, I saw people eat pizza a million times. I don't know how I never came across it. She ordered pizza, she got us, like, four slices, and she was like. And can I get a side of ranch? I never looked at her the same ever. Like, I saw her and I was like that. It makes me, like. Yeah, but I'm not making out with, you know. I mean, I don't have to, like, like, I was like, you eat. And I think she got like, black olives on the pizza and put like, ranch on. And I'm like, it's so disgusting. And I was sitting there watching her eat it, knowing it was like I was watching her, and I was like, this is the last time you think.
Ralph
You could have forgave her making out with, like, another dude in front of you instead of that?
Host 1
It depends if I was, like, drunk and she was drunk. Yeah, definitely.
Hyman
Yeah.
Host 1
Yeah. Rather than, like. So if she was sober doing that. Nah, that's. Then I can't. But if she was drunk, I'd be like, oh, we're all partying. What are you gonna do? We're like, like ranch on pizza. You're just completely disguising what the. The thing is. Like, you don't even taste the thing anymore.
Jamie
Yeah.
Ralph
They're not appreciating the pizza for what it is.
Host 1
Yeah, that sucks. Destroy that. And that really affected my autism. I just. I didn't enjoy my pizza cuz I was watching her and I was like, I don't think she's enjoying her pizza properly.
Ralph
That's. Yeah, you got to do. Do you. How, like, how I say it? Do you ever judge somebody based off of like, all right, like, maybe they claim to be like a. Like a pizza purist or any other food purist, but then you hear the places they like to go, and you're just like, what the idiot?
Host 1
I do it.
Jamie
Does it with me all the time.
Host 1
Yeah. But also, I got in, like, the most mad. One of the most mad people ever were at me on this podcast was I said, like, I wish cameras would follow people in New York who go to, like, the horrible pizza places. Like, and by that I mean, like, in the back of a deli, there's some places where there's just like, a pie that's sitting there and there's like three slices left. And you're like, who took those other five? So, like, who decided not to go to, like, John's or one of these great pizza spots and go to a fucking deli? And I would love to follow them home and see what their life is like at home. Because I know they're a mess. And people were like, you're rich.
Ralph
You don't.
Host 1
I'm like a slice of pizza. It's like $4 everywhere in New York City. It has nothing to do with money.
Ralph
I know what they're doing. They're going home and they're putting ketchup on popcorn.
Jamie
That's right.
Host 1
Ketchup on pizza. When I would see people come out of, like, a New York City deli where you're supposed to get, like, a chopped cheese, but they would have a slice of pizza, I'd be like, all I want to do is follow you home.
Ralph
Martha listens to her favorite band all the time. In the car, gym, even sleeping. So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live. She saved so much, she got her seat close enough to actually see and hear them. Zordon, you were made to scream from the front row. We were made to quietly save you more. Expedia made to. Travel savings vary and subject to availability. Flight inclusive packages are at all protected. You said John's. That's a good piece of place.
Host 1
John's. Yeah, but now. I mean, really good.
Ralph
Don't switch up now, bro.
Host 1
Lucali is. Well, John's is just like the famous one that everybody knows.
Ralph
Scared. Now people know you're real.
Host 1
Lucali. Lucali. I think Lucali is the best. But John's is known for.
Jamie
Do you need his Sharpie? I don't know if that pen's gonna work.
Host 1
You want me to just text it to you?
Jamie
Write it on a piece of paper?
Hyman
But the tourists, they go to Joe's, right?
Host 1
Joe's. Yeah, Joe's is. Joe's is good when you just want to grab a slice and keep it.
Ralph
I didn't spell this right, did I?
Host 1
Yeah, perfect.
Ralph
Oh, yeah.
Host 1
Wow. That's good. Yeah. Lucali. Yeah. Go to Lukali. Incredible, incredible pizza. Yeah.
Hyman
Ralph, he. He puts me in charge to get food sometimes. And, like, it's very difficult, pressure.
Jamie
Is he picky? Are you picky?
Hyman
It's because. I don't know if they're. Because there's a bunch of us, and I don't know if it's like, do you guys want some modifications on these burgers?
Ralph
Stop.
Hyman
But he's not.
Ralph
I'm.
Hyman
He's like.
Jamie
You just want to see what he comes back with? How do you take a burger?
Ralph
Just, like a burger, just with everything on it.
Hyman
Not my chicken.
Jamie
You like the lettuce and the tomato and the.
Ralph
Yeah, and if not, then I'll just take it off later. Yeah, but the thing is that he does this thing where I'm like. Like, you know, we have. We haven't slept much. We. Maybe we got into town. We just landed, showered, went straight to the show, did the shows, did the little meet and greet. Now we're, like, starving everybody. Nobody's eating since our last, you know, whatever time zone. And so I'm like, order a bunch of food. Just order anything. Just order whatever. And then he's like, well, what do you want? And I'm like, jaime, whatever's open. Whatever's around here, Whatever's delivering with.
Hyman
Cuz that's like the.
Ralph
I don't even like Taco Bell. I'm like, good. Taco Bell, McDonald's, whatever. And then he's like, what do you want, though? And I'm like, I mean, anything.
Hyman
Like, anything people say that's like. Like, that's autistic.
Jamie
On who? On who's part? On your part.
Hyman
It's like, what do you want? I can't just get everything. What do you want?
Jamie
Like, because have you ever. Have you ever brought back food? And they were all like, this is terrible. So now you're scared?
Ralph
Yeah. Yeah.
Hyman
He chickens.
Ralph
The other day, he ordered McChickens with American cheese on them.
Hyman
The guy asked for that? No, no, our friend, he texted. Our friend, he texted 12 mad chickens with cheese on it and extra mayo and lettuce.
Ralph
Look, man, not to pull the card, but it's like, who pays the bills?
Hyman
We do.
Ralph
So why are you listening to that guy?
Hyman
Because that's what he texted me.
Jamie
He got some direction finally.
Host 1
That's it. He's looking for direction. You won't give it to him. Like, just do it. Somebody finally gave him direction.
Ralph
No, no.
Jamie
Now he's afra. Order food.
Ralph
Stop defending him, because this is. This was like, a week ago. Sure, but he should know by now, like, we've. In every city.
Hyman
You want extra mayo?
Ralph
No.
Host 1
You're putting a guy who dips every single kernel of popcorn into ketchup in charge of food.
Jamie
This is your fault.
Ralph
Just make chickens, McDoubles, fries, nuggets. Like, just a bunch of that. Just a bunch of that.
Jamie
You know what you need to do one day? You just need to give him, like, this is the pizza order. This is the burger order. This is the whatever.
Host 1
He just did it.
Jamie
I. Oh, are you paying attention?
Hyman
And then.
Ralph
And then. And then It'll be like, 30 minutes later. I'm like, hey, did you order food? And he's like, why? Because I don't know what you guys wanted.
Jamie
Oh, no.
Hyman
And then.
Ralph
And then he's, like, asking people specifically what they want. And then I start to, like, in front of everybody, turn into, like, an. Because I'm like, stop asking these people what they want. They're getting free food. If they don't want it. They can order their own shit. Like, stop.
Jamie
Who are all these people?
Hyman
Our friends.
Ralph
Like, like our photographer. And like Abraham, he's like my right hand man. And then like my buddy Luis will be on the road with us. He. He's just on the road with us.
Jamie
Is. You're like your own Entourage show. I love it.
Ralph
Yeah.
Jamie
You guys should be filming this.
Ralph
We do. Sometimes it's fun, but sometimes it's so stressful.
Host 1
I think the food, the food shit would be when the camera should definitely go.
Jamie
Yes. I think that I want to watch it.
Host 1
I find it so entertaining. I could talk about food in any fashion all day.
Ralph
One time, Hyman didn't give us any problems, any quarrels. We were in Chicago. He ordered like, what, two boxes of White Castle. Oh. And he's like, do I order this?
Hyman
You'll feel bad.
Ralph
And I just yelled. I'm like, order the food. And he just ordered it. And. And then nobody ate. Nobody ate. Nobody touched the food. We all just left him alone with the food.
Hyman
Cuz we came from the club. They were drunk.
Ralph
Yeah.
Hyman
And they, you know, they put me in charge. And then, you know, and they're like, order White Castle. I'm like, okay. And I go downstairs to get the food. It's like two crave cases.
Host 1
Yeah.
Hyman
60 sliders. And I go up. Yeah, 30 and 30. And I go back up. And everybody's gone with. You know, everybody left my room. And I'm calling this guy, I'm calling Abraham. They're like, nobody's picking up. My God, this is like 150. Should have gone to waste.
Host 1
So do you start eating the sliders one at a time?
Hyman
Yeah, I just felt bad. So I was like, I ate two of. It's a joke. I. I'm trying to write it out. And the Uber driver's like, you have good friends, right? I was like, yeah, I have good friends. But yeah, they left me with the White Castle. That's why I don't want to order food. Because, you know, for our health.
Ralph
You know, for our health.
Host 1
Sounds like you're going to the wrong spots if you're worried about your health.
Hyman
Well, I'm gonna tell him, like, hey, just stop eating after 10pm Just starve to the morning.
Jamie
Well, but that's hard if your hours are later, right?
Ralph
But yeah, I also tell him, like, you worry about your health. Order food for me. I'm good. I'm gonna live forever.
Host 1
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Ralph
I'll be fine.
Hyman
But yeah, I don't know why he.
Host 1
Puts me does it bother you when he tries to give you health advice?
Ralph
No, he doesn't. What bothers me is when, like, and this is me being like a toxic friend. What bothers me is when like, I'm just, I really need to, like, hang out with this dude. Like, I really need somebody to just hang out with me. Grab a bite. So in my mind I started imagining like, ah, yeah, I'm gonna meet up hymn in this city. Haven't seen him like in a week. And I'm just assuming that he's gonna want to go eat like what I want to eat, like, like here in Austin. I like that place. Tumble. Was it tumble 22? Ever been there? It's like fried chicken. It's really good. Fries are good. Chicken's really good. So in my mind I'm like, oh, yeah, me and him are going to grab some tumble 22, you know, and like, I don't tell him that, that I'm looking forward to that. And then I'll tell him. And he's like, no, I'm. I'm fasting right now. And I'm like, man. And so I just start like, criticizing the. I'm like, fashion doesn't work like you do. I'm like, why don't you fast when we're eating Taco Bell at 2am like now all of a sudden, you know, like. So I, I just like, try to get him off the diet.
Hyman
Stopped eating Taco Bell. So.
Ralph
But then I'll be healthy and then I'll be like, you shouldn't eat like that. That's right.
Host 1
Well, he showed up today with two tennis rackets, which is good. He said he's walking through the airport with two tennis rackets and people ask him about tennis. He's like, I don't know anything about tennis.
Ralph
I guarantee you he's doing it for more of the.
Jamie
Do you have a bag for the rackets? Are you literally holding two rackets?
Hyman
No, it's just, it's a backpack. But it was for a laptop.
Jamie
Got it.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
Hyman needs the records to stick out so that people can be like, oh, what's that?
Jamie
This great conversation starter. I don't blame you.
Hyman
But then I have these headphones.
Jamie
Oh, wow. You really.
Hyman
Not these. But I have something like, so they won't talk to me. But then, I don't know if I told you, but on the plane right over here from la, that's where I was at la. And I know him. And you know, it gets lonely out there. Yeah. Because they're not out there, and I stress eat.
Host 1
So you know what's gonna happen? You're gonna have to get your own Jaime, who you want to go eat with you. And then when you want me with you, he's gonna say, no, I'm fasting.
Jamie
Yeah, there's a lot of codependency happening right now.
Hyman
I need someone to yell that.
Host 1
Yeah, you need someone to take your stress out on and call them autistic.
Ralph
I haven't yelled at you in, like. Like a year.
Host 1
Oh, that's a long time.
Hyman
Chicago.
Ralph
In Chicago. When's the last time we're in Chicago?
Hyman
The. The place where I was trying to. You said, find a diner in downtown. I was like, where?
Ralph
All right, okay. Yeah, I said downtown.
Jamie
Yeah, I have.
Hyman
I don't know my mind.
Ralph
You didn't say where. You said, where is downtown?
Hyman
No, I said, what is that downtown?
Ralph
No, you said, where is downtown?
Hyman
You know what I mean?
Ralph
Right? What does that have to do is. Just Google.
Hyman
You know what I mean?
Ralph
What about that time you took us to a gay bar?
Hyman
Okay, I was gonna find that. That was an accident. It was a gay diner.
Jamie
A gay diner? Where I want to go.
Hyman
It was in Massachusetts.
Ralph
No, no, no, no.
Hyman
Wisconsin.
Ralph
All diners are Minnesota. Minnesota.
Hyman
Minnesota. It was a diner. It was open late, but it turned out to be a gay diner.
Jamie
Tell me what's. What was gay about?
Host 1
It was the first sign. No, that's my question, too.
Ralph
They were frisking us. Like, oh, what is that? Is that the word? When they check. Check for weapons.
Host 1
Yeah, yeah.
Jamie
At the diner.
Ralph
That was the first sign, that regular diner.
Hyman
It was.
Ralph
Yeah.
Host 1
So they got you up, Up.
Jamie
Did you comply? Were you like, okay?
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
I was like, all right, this is weird. Just want hash browns, you know?
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
And then we walked in, like, we.
Host 1
Know what you want. Shut up.
Jamie
Spread them.
Ralph
Yeah, we walked in and, like, there. There's, like, you know, like, a lot of, like, bright colors.
Hyman
It was gay.
Ralph
It wasn't too weird at first. It was just little. It was just weird at first. We're like, this is a weird. This is a weird diner. But, you know, I saw a guy with.
Hyman
What's that? With the. The butt cheeks. Chaps, chaps. I saw a guy like that.
Ralph
Yeah, that's. That's when we started being like, all.
Hyman
Right, this is not what it.
Ralph
And you know what? That's not. There was maybe, like, six of us.
Jamie
Awesome.
Host 1
Now there's an autograph picture of you up on the wall in there.
Hyman
That's not.
Ralph
You know what. And we Left. But that's not even why we left. We did try. We got, like, seated and stuff. They just never came and took our order. They were busy. It was a busy night.
Hyman
But was everyone. We went upstairs for some reason.
Host 1
Were the waiters chaps like, the waiters?
Hyman
It was a guy. Just was a white guy with ashless chaps.
Ralph
It was professional.
Jamie
The guy that sat you had the assless chaps?
Hyman
No, I think something was going on in the top bar.
Ralph
They took us upstairs and they sat us down where nobody else was sitting.
Hyman
Some guys were staring at us.
Host 1
They're like, these guys are way too hetero, right?
Hyman
Yeah.
Ralph
Way too straight table.
Hyman
Yeah. We had suitcases with us, so, yeah, we did.
Host 1
Look, we probably thought you were coming in to kill, to go on some kind of gay murdering rain or, you.
Ralph
Know, I should have just ate the gay food. Because we went to a Mexican restaurant. Like, we left because we weren't getting any service, so we went to a Mexican restaurant down the street, and I got food poisoning, and I had to stay, like, an extra two days. And these guys all left.
Hyman
Oh, yeah.
Ralph
Yeah.
Host 1
Wow. You guys have a lot of food struggles.
Ralph
Yeah, it's hard being me.
Jamie
We need you. A mushroom trip around food.
Host 1
How did they not serve you? Like, you're sitting there and they just ignore you.
Ralph
Never came and took a order. Nothing.
Hyman
They're busy.
Jamie
They were just observing.
Ralph
Maybe.
Hyman
Yeah.
Ralph
But I learned a hard lesson that day, you know?
Hyman
Eat.
Ralph
Never shrimp. Never trust Mexicans from the north.
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
Mexican food that far north, no good.
Hyman
What did you eat? The shrimp, Right?
Ralph
I had a. You know what? I think it was the chicharones. Just, like, pork. Pork rinds. Yeah, I can't eat that no more because every time I think about it, I'm like, yeah, yeah.
Host 1
A lot of people have that with alcohol. Like, oh, I can't drink tequila, because it reminds me of that one.
Ralph
Yeah. You know what, though? We should have known better, because when we sat down at that Mexican restaurant, they were like, our kitchen's only open for, like, 20 more minutes. So, like, yeah, that should have been my sign. Like, you know what? Don't order six people's worth of food when they're already trying to go.
Jamie
They're closing shop. Yeah, you're getting the shit that's been sitting out for a while. Yeah.
Host 1
I remember Gordon, when Gordon Ramsay first started doing, like, his show where he would go into restaurants and, like, talk about how dirty they were and how bad they were, he went into a Mexican place and he went in the Back and he came out with like 10 gallon buckets of rice. And he just came out like with like beans and rice. He just kept bringing them out and coming back and bringing them out and coming back. And he's like screaming to the people, look what you're eating. Get out. And everybody. Like there were people who were like, like.
Hyman
Yeah, I think that was real.
Host 1
Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Hyman
It's like, like John. John Taffer.
Host 1
Yeah. Yeah, it's exactly. Yeah. But I think. I think Gordon might have been doing it first, but maybe not.
Ralph
But.
Host 1
Yeah, but my. My friend in New York used to work in a Subway, like Subway sandwiches, and he said that they would jerk off in the tuna.
Ralph
Oh. Oh my.
Hyman
You don't like that, Jamie?
Jamie
No.
Host 1
Yeah, I didn't like it either. I used to.
Hyman
You eat some way. Yeah, he loves somewhere.
Ralph
We ate Subway on the way here.
Host 1
Yeah, we did. I. I support. I support. I. I used to eat until that. I was a big. I was a big Subway guy. And then I was off.
Ralph
I don't order the tuna, but Abraham did.
Hyman
He's watching.
Jamie
Abraham.
Host 1
What about. What about the mc. You know, the McDonald's one.
Ralph
No babies. God, no.
Host 1
Oh, wait, the babies.
Jamie
The baby.
Ralph
What do you mean? Am I eating babies?
Hyman
No, no. What are you talking about?
Host 1
Well, I want to hear yours first. The babies.
Hyman
Well, just. Sorry, Jamie, I don't know if this makes you uncomfortable, but a guy, he so polite. He finished on the mayo on the.
Host 1
Mid chickens the way you described. That was the babies.
Hyman
The babies, the sperm.
Ralph
Yeah.
Hyman
The lady sandwiches.
Host 1
Yeah. No. So there was one where somebody was going through a drive through and they said they wanted the crispy chicken sandwich, no mayo. And then when they ate it, there was mayo. And they went back around and they told them, no, they didn't put mayo. And it turned out the chicken had a tumor and it was pus. Like they bit into the tumor. And that was. But. But again, that could be like an urban legend. Like it never really happened. But that's what I heard. And that. That's when I stopped eating McDonald's too.
Hyman
How long ago was that?
Host 1
Fifteen years ago, maybe even more.
Hyman
Oh, man, you're missing out.
Host 1
No, that's not. If you're ordering. Not the way you order, bro.
Hyman
You got the snack wraps.
Ralph
I don't want to eat ever again, bro.
Host 1
I mean, listen, you're at gay diners and Mexican food poisoning. I didn't think it could make it much worse by giving my stories, you know?
Hyman
Oh, man.
Host 1
What do you guys. Well, what about. For You. Dude, like, now that you're coming up in comedy and everything, do comics ever try and give you advice?
Hyman
Oh, yeah, I. That or I usually ask for advice.
Host 1
What's the best advice you've gotten?
Hyman
Don't go up there trying to be funny and just. Just go up there and talk.
Ralph
Who the hell said that?
Hyman
You did, man. No, I. A couple months ago.
Ralph
You don't listen to anything I say. Yeah, dude, that's not what I. Well, the job is to be funny, Jaime. Why would I say don't be funny?
Hyman
No, like, don't try to be funny, like, right at the script.
Ralph
Okay. Like, don't. Don't read the jokes. Just say the jokes.
Hyman
Just say it naturally. That's a good tip right there.
Jamie
That's a good advice.
Host 1
And that helped you?
Hyman
Yeah.
Host 1
What's the worst advice? Somebody.
Ralph
I don't even think you listen to my advice, bro.
Hyman
Yeah, I listen to your advice. You told me to stop listening to other people.
Host 1
Who do you say stop listening to?
Hyman
He said, just listen to me. I'm the one who pays the bills now.
Host 1
That's your tagline, huh? Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Like Urkel had. Did I do that? Like, you're just like, who pays the bills? Like, in your house every time.
Hyman
No, man. He's so funny, Ralph. Cuz I'll text him, like, randomly, like. Like some random news that doesn't have nothing to do with him, and he'll text me back. Can I say it? It's cuz I. I'll text him, hey, I just had a good poke or good matcha. And he's like, the. That gotta do with me.
Ralph
So I like telling him that even when it does got something to do with me.
Jamie
Yeah, that's another good tagline.
Ralph
Yeah.
Host 1
One of them is I got my own problems. That's. That's. Yeah, I think that's a Sopranos thing, even.
Ralph
Maybe. But the thing is, like, man, sometimes you don't want to hear it. Like, sometimes they're texting me, like, information about, like, hey, this is our flight for tomorrow and this is our hotel and stuff. And I was just like, the. That gotta do with me. Like, yeah, I'm not gonna check in, you chicken.
Host 1
Or I could also picture you having a bad day, and then you look at your phone and he's like, I just had a good matcha. Oh, yeah, you.
Ralph
Wait, man. Matcha?
Host 1
Yeah.
Jamie
You like matcha?
Hyman
Yeah.
Ralph
You?
Jamie
No.
Hyman
Oh.
Ralph
I think you're the first woman I've ever met that doesn't like much.
Jamie
It Tastes like grass.
Ralph
I. I agree. Unless it has a lot of sugar.
Jamie
Correct.
Hyman
But then that when you add sugar, like, it takes away the matcha.
Host 1
The effects of the matcha, it doesn't.
Jamie
Make it taste like grass.
Hyman
Yeah, well, they said it has health benefits.
Jamie
Of course it does.
Hyman
But when you add sugar, it doesn't. It's just.
Jamie
Yeah. You know what ketchup mainly is.
Hyman
Tomato, sugar, paste.
Jamie
Oh, sugar and ketchup.
Ralph
Hey, I'll tell you what it's good about matcha, though. It was something we learned from our friends. For all you men out there, if you want to hear some toxic tips to get that your crush's attention.
Jamie
Toxic tips.
Ralph
You post a picture, you. You add your crush to your close friends, or a few girls, if you want, just to see whose attention you get to your close friends. List on Instagram. And then you post a story of just your matcha. If you and your boy go get matcha, then you post the two matches together, but nobody's hands. Just mystery is mysterious. My friends do it. And girls talk to them all the time now.
Hyman
Yeah.
Host 1
Oh, because they. They think that they're, like, wanted now.
Ralph
Yeah.
Jamie
Like, oh, who is he having a matcha with?
Ralph
Yeah.
Host 1
And there's probably the little design on top of the match.
Ralph
Yeah, they do it with lattes, too, and stuff.
Host 1
Girls love that shit. Yeah.
Jamie
Good. Toxic tip.
Ralph
Toxic.
Host 1
This is the problem, right? People, like, sometimes you see people looking stupid to look good on social media, right? So, like, now is, like, now you're leaving there with two matchas and you're one guy.
Ralph
Nah, nah. You'll be all right. Yeah, you gotta just do your macho. If this is you, just one matcha. But maybe if it was me and Jaime and we got a matcha, then we gotta put it together, right?
Host 1
Because when I was just in New York, like, when you walk, when you're walking across the street, you'll see girls will, like, run into the middle of the street, and their friend will take a picture of them in the middle of the street, like, doing stupid. And then after they do the stupid, they're so ashamed.
Hyman
Yeah.
Host 1
Like, they're so embarrassed. And they, like, put their head down, and they don't want to make eye contact with anybody because they know that they're acting like an. But they care more about looking cool on social media than real life.
Ralph
Yeah.
Host 1
Like, they're like, I don't care that all these people, hundreds of people are staring at me thinking I'm an. And like, this car is beeping at me because People on the Internet are gonna give me a thumbs up.

I told you to leave the car behind.
Hyman
Oh, yeah, you did. See, that's mine. You know, listen, my mind works because then we're gonna leave the club. And they're like, oh.
Ralph
I think sometimes you look at a situation and you're like, how could I make it?
Host 1
Do you ever do things on purpose to piss him off?
Hyman
I don't do it intentionally for sure.
Jamie
Never.
Ralph
He has to.
Hyman
I don't think I do.
Ralph
There's no way. There's not on an agenda.
Host 1
I play poker a lot. I think you're lying. Yeah, I think you're lying, but I.
Hyman
Don'T realize it until he's like, that thing. You do that to piss me off.
Ralph
Now, the thing in Chicago, I said, where's? I said, look up breakfast in downtown. And he said, where's downtown?
Hyman
I said, that was in there.
Ralph
No, that was to piss me off. That was like.
Host 1
Have you ever gotten to the point where Ralph said something and you're like, ralph?
Ralph
Yeah.
Hyman
Oh, yeah.
Ralph
But he.
Hyman
He doesn't, like, get scared. He just laughs.
Ralph
He. Yeah, he likes it. He's tried to start, like, a mutiny, or is that what they call it?
Host 1
Yeah, yeah.
Ralph
He gets up and yell. He gets, like, mad and yells, and he's like, what the. Why don't y' all say nothing back to him? It's like he's just one guy, but it's just so funny to see him at that. We all just started laughing.
Hyman
I'm a nice guy until they piss me off.
Jamie
Jaime. Yes?
Host 1
What's the maddest you've ever gotten on the road?
Hyman
On the road?
Host 1
Yeah.
Hyman
I don't know.
Host 1
Or. Or at home, too. What's the. If you think of the most mad you ever got at Ralph, what was. What comes to mind? Yeah, shoot.
Hyman
I don't know. I haven't got mad at you before, right?
Ralph
Yeah, no, you've gotten mad.
Hyman
Maybe that one time we. I didn't get mad at you. You got mad at me when we stopped talking. Oh, yeah.
Ralph
We got pretty mad at each other.
Hyman
Oh, I didn't get mad. I was like, what the hell?
Ralph
You weren't mad?
Hyman
Yeah, I was mad after a while.
Ralph
Yeah, whatever. One time I threw a recorder at his. Like, you play those in school? Yeah, yeah.
Host 1
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Ralph
You guys want to know how poor Jaime was?
Host 1
Cheap.
Hyman
It was a fake.
Ralph
It wasn't like poor. It was just, you know, it was plastic. But they sold us $5 recorders at school. It's not really like a poor thing. It was more like a misplanning thing. Like, they sold us $5 recorders at school. It was like $10, I think. And then $5 for extra parts and they, like, come apart. You know what I mean?
Hyman
I lost it.
Ralph
Oh, I thought your mom just didn't want to buy you that one.
Hyman
No, I bought it, but then I lost it.
Ralph
But that one. That one comes apart. So you can, like, mix and match the colors and stuff.
Jamie
Oh.
Ralph
But so then his mom didn't want to buy him that one again because he lost it. So he. She. She bought him one from the dollar store. And it's just one piece of, like, hard plastic. Yeah. And the music sounds horrible coming out of it.
Host 1
The white and red one?
Ralph
No, it's just like orange. Everyone was orange.
Jamie
Sounds horrible coming out of any recorder.
Host 1
Yeah, it was a low quality.
Ralph
It was bad. Yeah. There's one piece of art, plastic. And one time we got into a fight after school, and he dropped me. He dropped me on the ground and he dropped his recorder. So, like, as I'm getting up, I just grab it and I just chunk it at his head. And it, like, broke to the. And I remember just not even being angry at him anymore. I was just like, oh, my God. Like. Like it hurt. He just kept walking, like. Yeah, but he was holding in his teeth.
Hyman
It's because I had a project of like clay and Legos.
Ralph
Yeah.
Hyman
We had to bridge. Bridge to Terabithia, Bridgetia.
Jamie
And then you were carrying it.
Hyman
Yeah, because I won.
Jamie
And it broke.
Hyman
You didn't win because he's like, let me win.
Ralph
You didn't win. There was no contest.
Jamie
He went in his m. In his heart.
Hyman
I won.
Ralph
There was a. There was not a competition. There was.
Hyman
Okay.
Ralph
But we just had to bring it to school and.
Hyman
But he wanted the Legos on top of it.
Ralph
It looked. They look nice, and I was really jealous.
Jamie
You guys known each other since fourth grade. Fourth grade.
Ralph
What if I was like this?
Jamie
You're always like, this is last year.
Host 1
See, I think Jaime, he come off like a nice guy. You might be more manipulative than.
Ralph
Oh, he is.
Host 1
Yeah. Because I asked him, what's the maddest you've. I said, what's the maddest you've ever been? And you flipped it to a story when he was mad at you.
Hyman
Because I. I can't think of a time when I was mad.
Host 1
But that's what I'm saying. You're trying to be like, I'm such a nice guy that I could only think of times he was mad at me. That's. That's manipulative.
Ralph
Hey, you know. You know, it's the time. I'll tell you a time. It was mad.
Hyman
On the road.
Ralph
Yeah. In Houston. Like. Like over a year ago now.
Hyman
Two years.
Ralph
There's like, two years ago.
Jamie
Two years and 47 days ago.
Ralph
How does he know exactly what I'm talking about?
Hyman
You talk about the club?
Ralph
Yeah. My girl. Is that your girl?
Hyman
This is why I don't drink.
Ralph
Jaime met two pretty women.
Host 1
Wow.
Ralph
In Houston. I don't know how he met him. It's a lot going on. There was shows back to Back to back. I don't know. I don't know when he's talking to these women. And after the show one night, this club owner takes us to a club in Houston, and he gets us, like, this whole section and stuff, and there's these two. Like, the section is built like a. Like a U, you know?
Host 1
Yeah.
Ralph
So, like, I'm on this side, and then Jaime is like. Like, where you're at? And the two girls are, like, right there. And one of the girls starts telling me something, so I'm, like, trying to lean in, but she's kind of far. So I just go over there. Oh, sorry. So, yeah, so I just end up over there. And, like, as I'm listening to what she's trying to tell Me. Jaime is already, like, tapping me. Like, yo, move.
Host 1
Like, I got this.
Ralph
Yeah. So then I'm like. Like, she's just talking to me. But then I started, like, out of wanting to piss him off more, I started talking to the girl more, and then they. I didn't know, but it turns out they were both that, like, dancers as their profession, so they started, like, dancing.
Hyman
I didn't know that either.
Ralph
Yeah. And, like, people were recording us, and, like, these girls wanted to show up for the camera, I guess, because they both started, like, twerking on me. And so I was just like, oh, like, look at this, everybody. Like, I'm party guy. Right? And Jaime is, like, refusing to, like, accept that this girl's dancing on me. Like, I miss, like, holding her hand, like, in front of her and then, like, trying to, like, hold her hips from the front. Like, he doesn't know what to do, but he's. She's.
Hyman
He's laughing, holding her hips from the front.
Ralph
He's just, like, the most supportive. He's like, you're doing great, babe.
Host 1
Ralph loves that. Yeah.
Hyman
There's a video out there for that.
Ralph
There's a video somewhere that should have.
Host 1

Host 1
Are you getting. You getting two girls twerking on you? And him just, like, like, with his.
Jamie
Shoulder, holding her hand while she's doing it.
Ralph
And so he's, like, pissed. So the next day at the comedy club, he's, like, kind of moody, and, you know, we're all, like, kind of talking about it, us and the other guys. And I just started going off on hymen that day. Then I got mad because I'm like, how you gonna get mad? Like, a week ago, we were in Vegas and you had people dancing on you, and. And I paid for everything. I. You had no problems there. You know what I mean?
Hyman
Like, okay, okay.

Ralph
But that's what I'm saying. Like, the guy.
Host 1
She felt that. That you're an empath. She felt that before he even said it.
Ralph
That's why I got so mad the next day, though, because he. He wants to come at. Oh, can I just catch a break? Like, a week ago, we were in Vegas. This man was reaping all the benefits. I didn't stop him. It was his birthday The. I. I think I threw him a really good Vegas night. Did I hear, like, a thank you or nothing? Hell, no.

Host 1
That's what I'm saying. You. You needed.
Jamie
You.
Ralph
He.
Host 1
You're. You're asking for an advance. But you have so many jobs. You're a tennis star. You're all this stuff. Why do you need extra money? Where's all your money? You shop at a vintage shop. Where's all your money going?

Hyman
Yeah.
Ralph
Yes.
Host 1
That's what I'm saying. So where does all your money go that you have all these jobs and you still need advances?
Hyman
Well, it's because I got merch now, so I had to pay that.
Host 1
That's another. That's another source of income that's bad for you in this.
Hyman
Why?
Jamie
Because you're losing money in your merch?
Host 1
No, I'm saying you're. That's. That's just another way you're telling me how you're making money. I'm asking where all the money goes. I'm not sure that's a problem.
Ralph
That's a big problem.
Host 1
This is your next podcast. You know what? You should have a financial advisor as a guest on your podcast and come in and go through your books and tell you where your money is going.
Ralph
That financial advisor will turn up dead. This guy, Ketchup, I would love.

Podcast: Not Today, Pal (YMH Studios)
Hosts: Jamie-Lynn Sigler & Robert Iler
Guests: Ralph Barbosa & Jaime Garcia
Release Date: September 18, 2025
This episode brings comedians Ralph Barbosa and Jaime Garcia together with hosts Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler, former on-screen siblings from The Sopranos. The group delves into the contrasts between their off-screen friendships and their on-screen family lives, explores relatable moments from The Sopranos, riffs on stand-up nerves and rituals, and strays hilariously into topics covering food compulsions, peculiar snack choices, social media "toxic tips," and their long-running road friendship dynamic.
Ralph: "Everything people give me at podcasts, I don't take them. I'm sorry." [02:29]
Ralph: "I just hallucinated a lot. And then I remember things I didn’t want to remember...I realized the first time that I realized I’ve never liked my voice." [03:37–03:52]
Jamie (on acting's impact): “The lines got blurry in the sense of just...There were moments…I was legit sad in that scene because it was like, 'Oh, more of like, we’re not gonna do our family scenes anymore.'” [05:53]
Ralph: “My family was involved in less than legal activities when I was a kid...That show really, like, struck a chord.” [05:23–05:36]
Hyman/Jaime: “Nervous. Like I’m about to black out...The first line in the joke, it’s gotta hit, right?” [10:07–10:30]
Ralph: “There’s been times where I’m so nervous to go on stage—I imagine that house, and just like, I could be that lady’s husband in like, some life.” [13:55–14:37]
Hyman/Jaime: “You guys ever put popcorn with ketchup?” [21:32]
Jamie: “How do you even eat that?” [21:39]
Ralph: “Just make chickens, McDoubles, fries, nuggets...just a bunch of that, just a bunch of that.” [29:03] Jamie: “You need to just give him like...‘This is the pizza order. This is the burger order.’” [29:07]
Rob: "The older I get the more convinced I am I'm autistic. So I would need your book." [17:12] Ralph: "...Maybe you are autistic, but maybe you're not autistic enough." [17:17]
Ralph: “You add your crush to your close friends...and you post a story of just your matcha...Just mystery is mysterious. My friends do it and girls talk to them all the time now.” [43:14–43:47] Jamie: “Good toxic tip.” [43:54]
Ralph: “I think Jaime, he come off like a nice guy. You might be more manipulative than...” [49:40]
Ralph: “The man has three outfits. Where is his money?” [56:41]
This episode is a hilarious, human, and surprisingly heartfelt glimpse into the messy, loving chaos of close friendships, with plenty of food fights, nostalgia, and comedic wisdom. Fans of The Sopranos, stand-up, or just enduring friendships with weird quirks, will find plenty to savor—and laugh about—here.
