Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
No, in the middle.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
It's either like these two people are dating but they've only ever seen each other's eyes. Or it's like an eight year old committed a mass murder. There's no in the middle ground.

Rick Glassman
Oh, that's a congressman. It's a senator from Utah.
Tim Dillon
He pulled up an Asian man. No, no. It's literally opening scene rape. And you're like, all right, I guess he's the bad guy. And then there's another rape and you're like, I'm confused.
Unknown
This is a lot.
Tim Dillon
There's like five rapes in this movie. But it's his fucking dark good though. It's like. It's thought provoking and crazy and really.
Rick Glassman
He had one movie called Secrets and Lies. It was brilliant. I've heard all plot of the movie is that is a British working class woman finds out she has a daughter and the daughter's black. So it's just a very interesting because like today obviously wouldn't really be that. But it was like such a thing.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Right now where it's like it was just a funny movie on rewatch. It's funny, you know, because that's the whole plot. So the whole plot is like, she had sex with a black guy and that's a black daughter.
Unknown
Wow.
Rick Glassman
And her family has to accept it. I mean, look at the. Look at. She's crying next.
Unknown
So she's disappointed twice.
Rick Glassman
She's right.

I have a daughter.
Rick Glassman
No, she's crying. She's literally crying. She's black. She's like, sweet all. How did it happen?

Tim Dillon
How much do they actually air of you on cnn?
Unknown
That was a guy saw that clip.
Tim Dillon
Yeah. Cuz I.
Rick Glassman
They haven't done it yet, but we sat there for an hour, we had a really great talk. And I just think. I think they'll air it. I hope they'll air it. The journalist is pushing for them to air the whole thing either. Not on TV, but on the line.
Tim Dillon
YouTube, right?
Rick Glassman
Yeah. We had a good talk. It wasn't. It was. It was a good talk.
Unknown
But they have a narrative. Yeah.
Tim Dillon
All of the cable.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, all the cable things do, but I get it. And because, like, you go on Fox, you're like, is Cancel Culture canceled?
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
And you're like. And then they'll be like, this guy's got a new special that woke losers will hate. And I'm like, But it's like me talking about my mother. Like, it's not like I'm not like up there being like the tariffs, you know, like. But I get it. It's like, you know, it's just what it is. But it's, you know, you got to make the round. And they're fun and you see how much that media is dying because all these things are remote.
Unknown
Is that right?
Rick Glassman
You just go into a room, they put a earpiece in you. And then Sean Hannity's in Florida.
Unknown
Uhhuh.
Rick Glassman
And he's like, you know, all right, next coming up is Tim Dylan. And then he goes. He goes, you do your thing with him and. And then he goes, why are people offended at jokes? I go, I don't know. It's privileged, I guess they're coddled or, you know, people, real problems, you know? And he goes, right, right. And you'll go back and forth, quick, quick. And then he's like, thank you so much. Well, that's. We love you and good luck. And then you do that, and you're like, okay. And then some guy comes in and he, like, takes the thing off you. And then he's like, goodbye.
Unknown
Wow.
Rick Glassman
And then you just walk out onto 6th Avenue.
Unknown
It's over. Then. Okay, you do Theo Vaughan, and it gets 8 million more views.
Rick Glassman

Rick Glassman
So it's like. It's just. It's just interesting. What hits what people. Yeah, what people? And I just want people to watch the special. So I'll just do anything that'll get people to watch this special.
Unknown
Well, Schultz us, because he did, like, Barry Weiss, then he did Megyn Kelly, then he did Shay Shay, then he did Rogan. Like, he hit every. He wouldn't even do, like, are you garbage? He just did all the other.
Rick Glassman
I'm doing Barry Weiss, but then I'll do Hamas. Like, I'm going to do bald. Like, I'll go right to the tunnel. Because, frankly, I want to hear everybody. I want all viewers.
Tim Dillon
Some of your friends from Long island are like, I liked you on Hamas.
Rick Glassman
They like, I saw you on Hamas.
Unknown
That's got to be a big tunnel there. Watch out.
Rick Glassman
Hey, that's what I said about my. I was doing some joke about my. I don't know, my stepmother or something. I said, drag her into the tunnel. Make it bigger or something. No, she heard it. They heard. They hear it. These people, they hear the things you say now.
Unknown
Well, people send it to these. They go, hey, did you hear what this said? You're like, what are you doing?
Rick Glassman
Yeah.

She doesn't watch tv.
Rick Glassman
Enjoy it calmly and privately.
Unknown
Yes.
Tim Dillon
Well, I have Friends I grew up with who listen to you, and they're like, tim Dillon mentioned you. I'm like, oh. So I get, like, cred from you, you know?
Rick Glassman
Yeah, all the time.
Unknown
It's. I have that weird. Do you guys ever have that thing? Like, he'll send me a thing. He's like, bill Burr mentioned you. And you're like, oh, right. I'm always terrified it's gonna be like, this guy's a hack. He's not annoying.
Rick Glassman
He's gonna say, so.
Unknown
You kind of have to listen, like, with one eye closed.
Tim Dillon
We make edits on this podcast. We. We.
Unknown
Yes.
Tim Dillon
It gets to a point with sometimes too much booze, where, like, we start shit talking. Like, let's cut it down.
Rick Glassman
You got to rein it in. Yeah, sometimes I get it.
Unknown
We had Bert on. He got seven whiskeys deep. He's like, this guy sucks. This guy.
Rick Glassman
Oh.
Tim Dillon
I got text from people who were like, my feelings are hurting. He's an alcoholic.
Rick Glassman
Bert went for sushi for three hours. It's the best dinner ever.
Unknown
He will shit talk all night. It's pretty great.
Rick Glassman
Best shit talker in the business. Best. Most fun stories from, like, back in the day. He's really, really.
Tim Dillon
He's on our pod. We're all hammered. He's yelling at Mark. He's like, catch up. I'm like, dude, you weigh 400 pounds more than us. Yeah, we shouldn't be going drink.
Rick Glassman
But I don't even think it's that because he's not even that big anymore. But he's just trained his body.
Unknown
Yes.
Rick Glassman
He's actually trained, you know, but we.
Unknown
Have sets that night. He's going to eat a steak and fall asleep.
Tim Dillon
He fell asleep at a steakhouse. Sagura's like, he's asleep at dinner.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
And I'm like, yeah, we're up, too. Believe it or not, we're trying to keep up with him.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, it was. Yeah. What a dinner. What a fun. Yeah, just fun.
Tim Dillon
Yeah. You know, no, he has a great time.
Unknown
He's a great day. He's a machine.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
He's so much fun.
Unknown
But that sushi dinner, he. There's no way he remembers that.
Rick Glassman
He loved it. He does remember. It's weird. I went to a place where you can't take out the phone on purpose. They will not allow the phones.
Tim Dillon
Art, would you ever get married, do you think?
Rick Glassman
I don't know. I've been thinking about it more. I think it's a.
Unknown
You can do that now.
Rick Glassman
You can do it now. For now.
Unknown
That's true.
Rick Glassman
But. No, I'm kidding. I think you'd ha. It would have to make a lot of sense, because New York's a state where it's a community property state. So you got to be deeply in love with someone, and you got to want that legal definition because it is half your property and half your money and half of all of it.
Unknown
Well, you get the nup, you get the pre.
Rick Glassman
But I will tell you, it's New York's tough. Yeah, Ali's tough, even with them.
Tim Dillon
Are you a New York resident right now?
Rick Glassman
I don't know.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, I don't know either, because I.
Rick Glassman
I was last year. The year before that was California. Two years ago was Texas. That was a good one.
Unknown
You better figure that out. You might get sent to El Salvador.
Rick Glassman
Well, first of all, I will enjoy it. There's not one image from that prison that's disturbed me or made me feel like it isn't fun. No, I'm kidding.
Unknown
They had margaritas.
Rick Glassman
Yeah. No, I think I'm New York resident. Cool.
Tim Dillon
All right.
Rick Glassman
The numbers of days.
Unknown
Holy. That's like Tim, spring break.
Rick Glassman
I mean, is that. Who's fearing that?
Tim Dillon
Zoom in. Let's do a little more Harry Krishna.
Unknown
Holy.
Rick Glassman
I mean, come on.
Unknown
That doesn't look so bad.
Rick Glassman
We got a few. The one with the tats is pretty good.
Unknown
Pretty hot.
Rick Glassman
One to the left and right. Not great.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Unknown
By the way, you know where gay marriage is not legal? Ukraine.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
And I think Greece just pulled back. Did you see this? They pulled.
Rick Glassman
Well, I think Greece got too gay. I mean, I think went so gay that they said, we need to pull it back.
Unknown
Yeah, gay.
Rick Glassman
I think there were guys just leaving their wives in the middle of dinner, getting gay married and then coming back. So I think you need to find the healthy.
Unknown
Right.
Tim Dillon
Well, even the gay icons of Greek guys. Right. Gay.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
Very gay.
Unknown
Oh, yeah. Rome, too.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
I think it's a. It's a. It's a weird time. We're now. Because there's this big circle now called queer.
Unknown
Yeah. No one knows.
Rick Glassman
No one knows what that means. And people don't like things that are undefined.
Unknown
Yes.
Rick Glassman
Where they go. Wait, so who's queer? And what is this? And what do you want from me? And what do I got to call you? And how does this work? And are you suing me and all that? And. And what happens is now you're lumped into this thing where you go. It's. You're. It's. It's trans people, which is great, but Then it's also non binary people. And then you go, okay. And then you're like, but it's also people that identify as a million different genders ago. Okay? And then you go, it's also pansexuals and sapiosexuals and demisexuals. And you go, I don't know what any of that means. And you start, sure you do either. Yeah.
Tim Dillon
Like the menu at a diner. You're like, this is a lot.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, too much. And I think, what's, what's people. I, you know, it's going back. People are pulling back now and going like, reevaluating some of these progressive, in my mind, good things like gay marriage and stuff like that. Because I think they're going, wait a minute, what is this new world that we don't really understand that we're being kind of led into?
Unknown
Well, yeah, and you, I think you need the definitions, like just, yeah, what is a woman? And people start going like, well, yeah, it's crazy. Just, we gotta, we gotta make this quicker.
Tim Dillon
And no one wants to come off as like, ignorant or disrespectful, but it is getting. I'm a little confused.
Unknown
But yeah, that's the thing.
Rick Glassman
If people said to me, like, 2010, everything's glee, everything's fine, no one cares about anything.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And then if somebody came to me and said, well, how do we get this going the other way? How do we get. Go. Slide back? I go, I don't know, take some drag queens, put them in a library, have them read to 8 year olds. Like, that's the craziest.
Tim Dillon
That's just got picked up on Netflix too.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, that's. That's the new show. The craziest thing is, like, you have that and people like, what is this?
Tim Dillon
Yeah, right.
Rick Glassman
It's. We're nightclub. Drag. Drag is nightclub. We're nightclub. I don't want kids at our shows. Why would we want kids at our shows?
Unknown
Right?
Rick Glassman
So I'm comics. So this, this to me is like, again, it just, I think people start going like, hey, what's going on here? And then you get this backlash where they start going, all right, we're going to, you know, we're going to start reevaluating everything.
Unknown
Well, just my thing is just don't gaslight me. You know, if you're like, what's up with that? Like, whoa, you fucking bad. You're like, well, it wasn't here before. Now it's here. I'm asking where it came from. And now I'm A bag.
Rick Glassman
It just seems unnecessary to have a drag queen in a Libra. I feel like a library is unfun. I don't know anyone that wants to go to a library. If they called all three of us ago, you need to read the kids library. God. None of us would do it. We'd all go, oh, we'd love to, but we, you know, there's got too much to do.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Unknown
Also, a longshoreman is weird to read.
Rick Glassman
New York people get.
Tim Dillon
People get married at the New York Public Library. That's like a big thing here.
Unknown
Like.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, rent it out.
Unknown
It's a pretty place.
Tim Dillon
It's a pretty place.
Rick Glassman
So here's the. Here's the one that I like. Can you bring up that one to the left with its thorns? That one, that one. I mean, this is. This is the one.
Unknown
What is going on?
Rick Glassman
I mean, this is the one where you go, wait a minute.
Unknown
This is horrifying.
Rick Glassman
This is horrifying.
Unknown
I mean, we've combined, like, two genres here.
Tim Dillon
Is that Chapel Roan?
Rick Glassman
What's going on? Yeah.
Tim Dillon
What happened?
Rick Glassman
But, I mean, I might go back in the closet, just marry Schumer. Dan Soder said the best thing. He goes, if you. And Schumer, you, you, you, you just. If you. You take. You fuse your power, and what you do is you just. Every coffee house you'd walk out of, it would just explode. And you just have the Heath Ledger smiles. It's an unstoppable force.
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
But see, this is where people start going, what is happening?
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
So I think this is the issue that we're commingling these worlds that shouldn't be around each other. And I don't think it's necessarily bad. I don't think these people are pedophiles. I think it's like, this is like a lot of Do Gooder women going, like, I want to show how tolerant I am. And even men. Right. Like, I'm taking my kid to the drag hour.
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
Because there's a lot of Park Slope dads being like, we're going to drag hour.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And then you go, okay, but maybe.
Tim Dillon
There'S a lot of other options. In New York, the Mets are playing.
Unknown
I think there's a Rockettes.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Unknown
Or the. Yeah. I was. I was raised by a drag queen. My nanny was a burlesque dancer. Big black guy. But it was only because he was cheap. My parents could afford it.
Tim Dillon
I mean, he did molest you, but he was also very affordable.
Unknown
Sure. I learned a lot.
Tim Dillon
Sure.
Unknown
But, yeah, it wasn't like we're so progressive. It was just like, oh, this guy will do it. Yeah, bring him in.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
This is a different thing. This is like a statement.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, this is a statement. And I just don't think it's. It's not ideal.
Unknown
Yeah, it's strange.
Rick Glassman
It's strange.
Unknown
And you should be able to say it's strange.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
That's all. Now we're in a garage. All right. How the fuck do you get Kevin Spacey? We've been trying to get him on this show for two years.
Tim Dillon
Yeah. Maybe you should have been using his name as a punchline every episode. Well, one episode of Work.
Rick Glassman
My. My agent.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Unknown
Justin the great.
Rick Glassman
Fat Justin.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Hold the. His manager, their friends, and he said, would he do this? And he goes, yeah. And we called the manager and we chatted about it, and we had to go back and forth on the script a lot because, like, we have Frank. Frank feels like it's more fresh, elegant. He doesn't like. He doesn't like the elegant. You know why they go, what's that? Who said that? A predator. Kevin's basic Frank Underwood revival. Who's writing that?
Unknown
That's nice.
Rick Glassman
He was acquitted.
Unknown
That's true.
Tim Dillon
Why we can't have him on the show.
Rick Glassman
Well, here's the deal. I'm not saying everything he's done is ideal. Here's what I'm saying. The character.
Tim Dillon
Agree to disagree.
Rick Glassman
I'm saying the character. Frank Underwood was Netflix's first hit show.
Unknown
Iconic character.
Rick Glassman
First hit character. I think it was just. If he was roasting podcasters, making fun of it. I think it's funny. We wanted someone to make fun of this idea that podcasters are so important in this and that. Whatever, right? And we're like, who would be better to do it than fucking Frank Underwood from House of Cars? We started laughing, and we said, is there a way to get him? And we got him. And he was really professional.
Tim Dillon
And did you have to pay him a lot or was he just pay him a dollar? He's a passion.
Rick Glassman
He just did it.
Unknown
I love it.
Rick Glassman
And he's, you know, he's like one of the greatest actors of all time.
Unknown
Unbelievable.
Rick Glassman
Unbelievable.
Tim Dillon
Even. Even his bad movies. I remember, like, Capex D, you know, he's remembers, like, not terrible. Do you remember swimming with sharks?
Unknown
He was.
Rick Glassman
That's great, guys. Kills on everything he does. And he came in and he just was great. But, you know, did you put.
Tim Dillon
Did you rock the boat at all? Did you poke him at all off camera?
Rick Glassman
No, no, he was very, like, flirty. No, he was just very, like. He's just one of these guys who, like you.
Unknown
You.
Rick Glassman
He's an actor, and in the sense that, like, you don't know what he's saying. You don't know if what he's saying is true. Do you know what I mean?
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
Like. Like, I've met these guys, like Joaquin Phoenix, when they're so.
Tim Dillon
Like, I'm innocent.
Rick Glassman
Well, they don't exist. Like, Joaquin Phoenix does exit. Kevin Spacey doesn't really.
Tim Dillon
Right, right.
Rick Glassman
Frank Underwood exists. Kaiser Soza. He's not dead.
Tim Dillon
He's a vessel.
Rick Glassman
He's a vessel.
Tim Dillon
Yes.
Rick Glassman
So he could say anything he wants.
Tim Dillon
Well, he. I know someone who did a movie with him, and I was like, was he appropriate? And he goes, he kept trying to touch my dick. And then I asked him to stop, and he mostly stopped and was cool.
Unknown
Wow.
Rick Glassman
It's a great promo, because what it does is it roasts the whole way. We have to promote things. It makes fun of comedy, and that's what we were going for.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Unknown
And I told you not to tell anybody that you've never been to movie.
Tim Dillon
All right.
Unknown
Not with him.
Rick Glassman
But it was largely positive reaction and then a few very negative ones as well.
Unknown
Well, you're gonna get that with anybody.
Rick Glassman
Get it?
Tim Dillon
Yeah. I mean, you went provocative. And I got sent it by a bunch of friends who just were like, this is funny.
Rick Glassman
It was funny.
Unknown
It was so good.
Rick Glassman
We. We got Brian Francis, who is a great writer, and we. We worked on this script. He works with Nikki, he works with me and a few people, and we brought him in, and we were just sitting in Los Angeles, the podcast studio, going like. We had a line that Spacey wouldn't read that I think it was. We ended up going with Daily Wire, the musical, which. Funny one we are. The original line that Frankie wrote was, I go, I'm supposed to endorse Jews for a Ukrainian Gaza, Which I thought was the best. We love. It was a killer line that Brian wrote. And then he just wouldn't. He came in, he had a Ukraine thing on the wrist. Oh. And he's like. I just won't say that I'm uncomfortable with that. And we were like, totally. And we're like, alts. Alts. Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
But this.
Tim Dillon
How about that?
Unknown
Right?
Rick Glassman
So we're like, you know, damn. Yeah. He had a few good alts, so.
Unknown
He'S got standards, he's got scruples.
Tim Dillon
He.
Rick Glassman
He has. Yeah. He has certain things he's uncomfortable with saying and doing.
Unknown
Got it. Okay. But it came out great. It was really.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
And it. Everybody shared it.
Rick Glassman
It was a fun one. We. We thought about it. We didn't know what. It's weird now to film a pro and I'm. That's not second nature to me. Like, some guys are great at it. I wasn't. And I'm like, this might be a really funny idea. And we. We got him.
Tim Dillon
You're not a. You're not like a promo whore. It's.
Rick Glassman
I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to do it.
Tim Dillon
It's one thing to go and talk on shows, but, like, come see my thing.
Rick Glassman
It's hard. It's hard for me.
Tim Dillon
It. Outside of her. I remember I used to bark and I was so bad at it.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rick Glassman
Barking wasn't. That was never my skill set.
Tim Dillon
No.
Rick Glassman
I'd go like this. I go. I tried like a few times. And then I. I think it was like. Was it the lantern back in the day?
Unknown
Yeah, I did that one.
Rick Glassman
Yeah. And then you try. And then people. I don't want to come. And I'd go, yeah, all right.
Unknown
Yeah, all right.
Rick Glassman
I'm not gonna.
Tim Dillon
When you get people in and there's like four people, you're like, hot show tonight. And then you go up and they're like, what the.
Rick Glassman
I used to live with a guy, by the way. He was pretty good at it and. Pretty good.
Tim Dillon
He was good.
Rick Glassman
It's kind of an art. He'd like, corner a couple.
Tim Dillon
Rarely a good comic, though.
Rick Glassman
Well, it's not ideal, but, you know, thing.
Tim Dillon
Cuz you're lying, you're comfortable.
Rick Glassman
Good at that angle of where it was just kind of like, come here.
Unknown
That's.
Rick Glassman
It's one of those, like, Right.
Unknown
Oh, that's hard for. I did last comic standing and they're like, all right. You know, you do those, like, interstitials, those confessional moments. Tell us how you're gonna kick everybody's ass. I'm like, honestly, I'm probably not gonna make it through. I'm not a minority comic.
Rick Glassman
Together years ago.
Tim Dillon
I don't.
Rick Glassman
With Norm, Roseanne and Kevin. Yeah, we're on it. I was on it for two minutes. You were maybe on it longer. And I was gone in the first.
Tim Dillon
Thing on two and a half minutes, I think.
Rick Glassman
But literally, here's the deal. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I was probably. I. I don't. I don't think. I don't think they have any footage of It. But it was like, me and you were on this thing. And I remember, like, there was a moment during the. I just never looked worse than these Ice House photos. I hate. This guy took these photos at the Ice House. I'm like, can you just get them off these Ice House. And it's like. It's the word. It's a club I perform at once a year. I'm like, can you just get the photo?
Unknown
It's a great club.
Rick Glassman
It's a great club. I just. It's far from la, right? So.
Unknown
Sure.
Rick Glassman
So we were on this comic scene, and I remember, like, there were people on it that were really, really good at, like, going, like, all right, I'm gonna call my mom now. And then the camera. Exactly up to this person. And then they would be like, mom, I'm here. And then you're like, oh, this is crazy.
Tim Dillon
I know.
Rick Glassman
You were just really uncanny. And we looked at each other and we're like. We're just not comfortable with that. No, that's not what we're.
Unknown
They wanted us. They wanted drama. They wanted to be like, I'm living in a van. I've got divorced. My mom has cancer. I need to win this. But I didn't have that. I was like, yeah, I'm not gonna do well.
Tim Dillon
The drama we would do is, like, poking people. But it wasn't the. Just like, I'm a victim. And they were. I'm a victim.
Unknown
They want the sub.
Tim Dillon
Here's my sad story. But I was like, no, I have a pretty good life.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah. I'm just trying to write jokes. I want to be a. Yeah, that's.
Tim Dillon
The enemy of that.
Unknown
That's what I'm saying, dude.
Tim Dillon
I remember doing agt. I did all these fucking awful shows, and they were trying to get me to trash people.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Tim Dillon
Camera. I'm like, dude, I don't.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, I don't want to do it.
Tim Dillon
You know, it's already stressful. There's a fat couple dancing Mambo Number five next to me, talking bird. I'm like, I'm already losing my mind. Don't make me, like, bury these people.
Unknown
Yeah, a little bit of Monica.
Rick Glassman
Yeah. No, it's. It was. It was a weird thing.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
Reality tv, that's kind of over now for comics. I think we.
Rick Glassman
Comics. But, God, is it not for everyone else? I mean, those.
Tim Dillon
What's the big one now?
Rick Glassman
Well. Oh, God. Like, Love island shows like that.
Tim Dillon
Billion Hours, I guess that is.
Rick Glassman
No, I don't. I don't. Yeah.
Unknown
Like, oh, Bot. Was it the mask? Is that still around?
Rick Glassman
Circle is big. Love is blind.
Tim Dillon
I don't even know what the Circle Mass singers are.
Rick Glassman
Dystopian hellscape.
Unknown
It really is.
Rick Glassman
That's a scary thing.
Unknown
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
That looks like something you make fun of as it doesn't look like a real thing.
Unknown
Yeah, you did Is it cake?
Tim Dillon
I did.
Rick Glassman
How was it?
Tim Dillon
They cut out every. I didn't know it was a kid's show. So I'm, like, making, like, AIDS jokes and, like, Peter Cake.
Rick Glassman
I should fire Justin right now for not getting us on Is it Cake? Why are we not on Is it Cake?
Tim Dillon
The only thing of mine that. That my niece has ever seen. She was so. It's like, for your. No, it's fucking ridiculous. I was on with Christina P. So thank God it wasn't.
Unknown
Oh, that helps.
Tim Dillon
But she's, like, a real fan of the show. So she's like, oh, that Mikey Day is incredible. Like, he's an incredible host.
Unknown
Look at the leather. What are you. Where'd you get a leather jacket?
Tim Dillon
I don't know. This is crazy. What am I doing?
Unknown
Selling Molly.
Rick Glassman
So what about you? Just look at it and then you have to see.
Tim Dillon
It's really hard.
Rick Glassman
It really is the worst.
Tim Dillon
It's a terrible show.
Rick Glassman
Terrible.
Tim Dillon
But Mikey Day actually is, like, a great host.
Rick Glassman
But.
Tim Dillon
But, dude, you're like. You're looking across and you're like, dude, it's impossible. You're fucking 40ft away. How the fuck could. I don't know what it is.
Unknown
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
Oh, please don't play clip, please.
Unknown
Oh, here we go. Turn up the phone.
Rick Glassman
That looks like cake.
Unknown
Yeah. This is tough.
Tim Dillon
That is hard, dude.
Unknown
Also, you're up against this fattest lady ever, so know the cake. Oh, thank God.
Tim Dillon
Okay, we have to decide together, guys.
Rick Glassman
Better change.
Unknown
Oh, God. Watch out for that guy.
Tim Dillon
They cut out a domestic abuse.
Rick Glassman
This woman knows every cake.
Tim Dillon
I definitely made a domestic abuse joke there.
Unknown
Turns out she was cake at the end. She's chocolate. Okay.
Rick Glassman
That's a crazy lineup again. Like, they just get a crazy lineup cast. Makes no sense.
Tim Dillon
I just figure, like, say as that. I'm like, it's a story if anything else. And then here's a story. It was. It was bad.
Rick Glassman
That's the stuff, Jake, the stories.
Tim Dillon
Like, it was a bad show. Glad I. Glad I. Six hours there.
Unknown
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
Is it cake? Yeah.
Rick Glassman
What a nightmare.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Unknown
You got a Netflix show. I mean, you're on tv.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
It's something to do.
Unknown
Something.
Rick Glassman
Half the time I'm like, it's a Fun thing.
Tim Dillon
I mean, what is anything you feed the beast. Exactly.
Rick Glassman
You just gotta do it. Yeah.
Unknown
Like, I would do the View if the View called me. I would.
Tim Dillon
Would you?
Unknown
Yeah, it's the View.
Rick Glassman
I tried to get on the View. You're not doing that.
Unknown
I go, all right, they should have you. They had.
Rick Glassman
I agree.
Unknown
Who? They have Bill Burr.
Rick Glassman
They won't have me. I just. We tried.
Unknown
How great would it be on the View?
Tim Dillon
What's. What's your, like, bucket list show that you'd want to get?
Rick Glassman
Well, I grew up listening to Stern, but that's tough because he only has mega famous people. But, like, Stern would be cool because I grew up listening to him.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And then I think I've done a lot of them. Like. Like, I just. I can't think of the ones outside of Stern that are, like, ones that I really grew up with that I like. That meant a lot to me.
Unknown
And they don't have to say, like, obviously Larry King is dead, but, like, Stern isn't what it used to be. It's different now. It used to be horrors getting salami thrown at him and.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, no Charlie Rose anymore. That would be kind of cool.
Rick Glassman
Charlie Rose. Yeah, that would be cool. I mean, I grew up watching that.
Unknown
You know James Lipton?
Tim Dillon
Yeah, I know.
Unknown
I know.
Tim Dillon
Yeah. But I liked it.
Unknown
He had Chappelle on, but he acts.
Tim Dillon
Chappelle acts.
Unknown
That's true. That's true. That's a good point.
Rick Glassman
I just took him a joke or two for an hour with James. Tell me about the process.
Unknown
Were they mad at you for trashing that after?
Rick Glassman
I haven't heard about. I think it was so bad that no one cared. It's obvious.
Tim Dillon
I have not heard from Todd.
Rick Glassman
No, but that's okay. Like, I don't. I don't. I don't. I gotta be honest. Why would I lie?
Tim Dillon
Right? Right.
Rick Glassman
Why would I lie? It's terrible.
Tim Dillon
So I haven't seen it.
Rick Glassman
That relationship has no value to me. It's not because I dislike him. It's because that. That has the. The value of my career is being. Being honest and saying, like, right, oh, this is what I think about this, not my relationship with him. So, I mean, I would think he'd not care. There's other people saying it that have more weight than me.
Unknown
Right, Good point.
Rick Glassman
Yeah. I don't think it's like, do you.
Tim Dillon
Think there's any truth that he intentionally made it horrible or hard to watch?
Rick Glassman
No truth to that.
Tim Dillon
He was trying to make a great film. I don't get why anyone would make a bad movie on purpose.
Rick Glassman
I don't think it makes producers.
Tim Dillon
You're not no one. That's not real.
Unknown
Exactly.
Rick Glassman
You know, I think that they. They said to themselves, and love the first one, and then it became this, like, oh. What they do now is if they can't. If they don't like something but it's objectively good, they go, the audience is bad.
Unknown
Yes.
Rick Glassman
This is the new tactic. They go, but the people who like it are bad. So instead of going, oh, this sucks, because they go, no, it doesn't suck. It's objectively good. They go, okay, but the audience is bad.
Unknown
That's true.
Rick Glassman
So then they ran the other way, and they were like, all right, let's take this thing that people really liked and make it into this. Like, let's. Let's add show tunes.
Unknown
Right?
Rick Glassman
And then they made it this kind of silly thing that, like, I don't think was for anyone.
Unknown
No. No one liked it.
Tim Dillon
It's weird because sometimes the critics, like, they really get it wrong both ways. But, like, I feel like sometimes they're scared to trash certain. Like, I think there's a lot of movies that come out where they're just like, it's like 97% of rotten tomatoes. I'm like, this is the worst piece of shit I've ever seen.
Unknown
Oh, yeah. Well, Rotten Tomatoes really plot a long time ago, which is. It was like my go to. And then it was like, audience score. 99.
Tim Dillon
Matters, of course, like, a lot, like, more to me at this point, you know?
Unknown
But once you find out it's. It's tainted, you're like, well, what are we doing here?
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
I also feel like the days of the critic like, that. It's so. Like, I used to read all Ebert's, like, reviews. I love reading those. I thought it was a great writer, but, like, the days of, like, I'll destroy you. My column are fucking dead, you know?
Rick Glassman
Yeah. I just don't think people care.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
I think what you like, you know, I think people vote show with their pocketbooks now where it's like, if they are spending money, they. They like you.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And if they're not spending money, they either they don't know about you or they're not into it or whatever.
Unknown
So.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, I think. I don't think one guy makes that much of a difference.
Unknown
Like, yeah, I just did that Ari storytelling show. Just your mom's house produced it. It was big budget, real cameras, rips, and all this. And I was like, wow, I was impressed. Like, what, are you gonna sell this to Netflix? He goes, no, I'm gonna do Pay per View. Why would I do that? They're going to lowball me. You know, they're not going to promote it. He's like, I got all these giant comics on. We'll all share it. You know, tweet about it.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Unknown
This is. We'll make a ton of money on Pay Per View. I mean, the. The star power on this show.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
I'm not gonna just give this away.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
And I'm like, good for you. Fuck them. That feels like the new. The new way to do it.
Rick Glassman
That's right.
Unknown
But we're.
Rick Glassman
I stand with Netflix. Yeah, I completely agree with you, but I just want to say that we're also just grateful to Netflix and Tess Randos and the Greek people in general. I don't care what they ban. We're thankful for democracy, for the Greeks, for Texas, for Netflix, for all the people that work there. That other woman.
Unknown
Yeah, all of them.
Rick Glassman
All of them. That other woman. I think it's all important. I think it's all important.
Unknown
Hear, hear, hear. But we don't have to get into it. But, yeah, like. Like Hulu. Hulu tried.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
Tried to throw the hat in the ring. But I feel like Netflix is just so big.
Rick Glassman
The problem with. Number one, Netflix is really smart in the sense that they're a digitally native app on every smart TV in the world. Like, you go to any hotel, it's so easy to log in.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Use your phone, not a big deal. You get in, you want, like, the user. The user experience is better. Like, it's a tech platform. Better.
Unknown
It is.
Tim Dillon
It is like. Like, almost like a kid could use it.
Rick Glassman
It's easy. It's easy. And you're like, okay, now that does. Do they make the best content always? No. No. In fact, a lot of the original content there. That is made could be a lot better. You know, they've had big hits. Stranger Things, House of Cards, Wednesday. You know, a lot of the things that have been hits like Ozark, they've bought.
Unknown
Oh, I thought they made Ozark.
Tim Dillon
No company.
Rick Glassman
They made a full season. There was a bidding war between hbo, Netflix, and I forget the third person.
Unknown
How about that?
Tim Dillon
How about Mindhunter? That was. They discontinued that. I thought that was great.
Rick Glassman
That's a. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was good. You know, I mean, just a lot of. A lot. Some of it doesn't hit. Some of it. Maybe they don't give. Give. Maybe it's a lot of it is so numbers based over there that I think sometimes they might not give something a chance to go, yeah, so data oriented. That is so bad.
Tim Dillon
Entertainment.
Unknown
Bad for art.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Yes. But also good for art and great. And I'm grateful for it. No, but it is. No, but at the end of the day, it's like. I think part of the issue now is like, there's so much data that you get in real time as that a lot of people go, well, you know. Now look at. Look at shows like Severance that are making huge. They've been out for a long time now they're getting super popular. So I think that, like, you gotta get people rediscovering shows now. Now you're up against. You put a show out, now you're up against every show ever made. There's people that haven't seen the Sopranos, literally.
Unknown
That's true.
Rick Glassman
There's people that haven't seen any of these shows. Right. There's people that are watching old episodes of ER because they like to show the Pit and they want to find out what it.
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
So now it's just this crazy catalog and library of everything ever made that people are watching.
Unknown
And the algo is so different now. Like, Val Kilmer died and he went to number one.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Unknown
Heat went to. Because he's in it. It's so weird to like, that's how you got your. Your heat to be number one.
Rick Glassman
That's right.
Unknown
Fascinating. A weird time for entertainment.
Tim Dillon
You are against everything ever made.
Rick Glassman
It's. You're up against so many things.
Tim Dillon
I mean, think about even on the road now, when you're like, who else is in town? Lady Gaga.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
You know, you're against. You're in Vegas, you're like, yeah, I'm against everyone. I'm against the sphere.
Unknown
Yeah, dude, I used to bomb it at Funnyball and they were like, the Strawberry Fest is in town. Like, they would throw everything at me. The Ice Capades are a town.
Tim Dillon
The lacrosse team as a game. You're like, I can't beat the lacrosse team.
Unknown
Exactly. I heard it all. Yeah. Muppets on Ice, whatever.
Rick Glassman
Yeah. No, so it's. It's a lot.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Too much out there now.
Unknown
I know. And it might be. My fucking agent keeps putting me in these big rooms in these tiny towns. I'm like, put me in a small room. Let me sell maybe a two. Don't. Don't throw me in the fucking auditorium in Asheville, North Carolina. Throw me the orange peel.
Rick Glassman
I get a lot of like, like They'll. They'll, like. I'll be like. There's like. Also, you got to keep track of, like, there's been, like, flooding and stuff.
Unknown
Yes.
Rick Glassman
You gotta watch out for, like, am I liars? Am I like, heartlessly marketing something in an area where people's lives are completely ruined?
Unknown
That's a good point.
Tim Dillon
A recession, flooding, someone's families underwater. Yeah. Just come to the show. Just swim here. Come on.
Rick Glassman
Devastation of the tornado. I'm like, what? I'm there Friday. I don't care.
Unknown
Before, it was like Taylor Swift in town. Now it's like, we had a school shooting yesterday. Yeah, like, fuck.
Rick Glassman
That's right.
Unknown
I got.
Rick Glassman
That was fun. People, people.
Unknown
What's this?
Rick Glassman
Well, I stood in front of someone's house at burned down, took a nice photo. That's a fun bit.
Tim Dillon
I like that he does the cool guy. Post this shit.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, of course. Well, it's L. A. You got to be, you know, you.
Unknown
Got to be hip.
Rick Glassman
You got to be hip. And people. People go through a few of those there. There's some good photos of how bad it is there. It'll never be the same. It's completely dead and over. And it's sad, but you'll never have.
Tim Dillon
You think LA is not coming back?
Rick Glassman
No. I don't know about la, but look at Malibu, dude. I mean, look at this.
Tim Dillon
Awful.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, you're years and years away from that ever looking anything like it did.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And that whole stretch of the pch, it's really fucking sad. The amount of toxic shit floating in the water and the amount. It's just really unfortunate and bad.
Tim Dillon
So there was a clip that went viral of Rogan and he was just like. He's going on and on about this. It's right when all the fires happened, he was like, it's gonna be like, there's gonna be a fire and no one's gonna be able to contain it. And he's going on for like a minute, and it's gonna wipe out the whole city. And then it just cuts to my face. I'm like, wow. And it just went viral.
Rick Glassman
Hilarious.
Tim Dillon
Like, Jesus.
Rick Glassman
And then he put the dates on the end of that. Tulsa.
Tim Dillon
See me in Asheville. Oh.
Rick Glassman
I mean, there's still cars here. It's so crazy. That.
Tim Dillon
Awful.
Rick Glassman
It's awful. LA will be fine, but this is a tough thing.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah. Well, luckily they'll get all their money and insurance back. You know, get something that'll save them.
Tim Dillon
Do you like being in New York right now?
Rick Glassman
Yeah, I love la. Too though. I like them both. You know, I, I like New York as a place when you're touring. I, I like spending the summer here. But I also like, like, like when you're touring, it's really great to tour from here. It's very hard to tour from la.
Unknown
You lose three hours.
Rick Glassman
But I do like LA a lot. I love the Comedy Store, I love the improv. Like, I like the lifestyle. Like, the weather. It's all good.
Unknown
Dude, California is amazing. It gets so much.
Tim Dillon
I'm about to do a run there and I'm like, I'm pumped for a west Coast. Riding up the west coast.
Unknown
I just. Napa and I drove to Santa Barbara. The drive was unbelievable, stunning. It's like, I feel like you're talking the whole drive. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Stunning. The mountains.
Rick Glassman
But it's, it's, it's, it's down bad.
Unknown
Yeah. Well, the COVID the strike and the fire, you had a three punch.
Rick Glassman
But I think it's, I think it's in a good position to come up because if you look at the real estate prices of Florida, Texas, they're going down and New York and Cali are steady and they're going up a little bit because people tried Florida and Texas and, and they went, oh, we get it. Or a lot of foreign money is now going, yeah, we're not, we're not investing in these cities. Like, it was clearly a pandemic frenzy to go to places like Austin and Miami. Overreaction, overreaction, over correction.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And now people are going, okay, people are going. They're, they're leaving.
Unknown
They're going to a real city.
Rick Glassman
They're leaving because, number one, the rents have skyrocketed. So younger people are going, all right, I'm not going to do this.
Unknown
Right.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And then a lot of people, there's other costs, Right. You moved to Texas, you go, I saved all this money on income tax. Well, your property tax is really high. Oh, you're paying a lot of property tax. Now there's traffic, now there's homeless. Now there's things that you didn't. You're creating the same conditions place that you left in a smaller place. Austin's much smaller. LA is huge. So like, are there problems that Are there nightmare areas? Yeah. Then there's also areas that are not sure. So I think with. And in Florida is like all fun and games until you realize every restaurant closes it at 8pm and everyone's 100.
Unknown
And there's a hurricane on the way.
Rick Glassman
And there's a hurricane. And then everyone goes, oh, and I love Florida, but you got to really pick your spots. Oh, yeah, you got to really pick your spots.
Tim Dillon
There's something special about Florida for. They just.
Rick Glassman
It's amazing.
Tim Dillon
Like, I. I think I'm gonna shoot my next special in Tampa. Just because they don't groan at anything.
Rick Glassman
No, they're a.
Tim Dillon
It's a good comedy.
Rick Glassman
You could take someone from Tampa on the stage and kill them in front of the audience, and the audience would enjoy it.
Unknown
They would love it.
Rick Glassman
They would love. They would not care. Care. But then you're like, I love Tampa. And then it's like, great. But then you're eating dinner in a. In a restaurant called, like, Crabby Bills, and it looks like a pirate ship, and. And you're going, could I do. Am I gonna live?
Tim Dillon
This is the best they have.
Rick Glassman
Am I doing this? Yeah, that's the problem. The waitress comes over, and she's got, like, prison tats on her neck. And you go, is this why I work hard to be part of this?
Unknown
And then they go, there's celebrities in this town. You go, oh, who? They go, hulk Hogan.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, right.
Unknown
Carol Bass.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
It's all wrestlers.
Rick Glassman
It's wrestlers and then people from documentaries.
Unknown
That have been accused of murder and Scientology.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Unknown
In Clearwater.
Rick Glassman
But it's great. You get in that golf, that water. Amazing side splitters. One of the greatest clubs in the world, to me, I feel side splitters. It's one of those clubs I think about. That, to me, is comedy. Driving into that strip mall during a monsoon and then just, like, sneaking around a building and going in the back and then having this amazing set. Get. And then have your opener, go to Chili's and get you a triple dipper and then bring it back. Yeah, that, to me, is what it is.
Unknown
It's one of the only. It's a great club. It's one of the only clubs. The audience offends me, right? They'll say stuff to me, and I'm like, geez.
Rick Glassman
You'Re canceled.
Unknown
Yeah. But, yeah, that's fun. They love life down there. Like, you see the audience, and it's a woman with two guys next to her, and you're like, what's going on here? And they're like, we're all, yeah, all right. That's very Florida.
Rick Glassman
No, they have orgies down there, but it's. Anyone can kind of get involved. Like, it's like. It's like, retired doctors and, like, hookers. And then also, like, people that work at this Local steakhouse. Like, it's like Epstein's island from Mongoloids. Just total monsters. And there's something beautiful about it.
Unknown
But instead of 14 year olds, it's like 68 year old women make tits.
Rick Glassman
There's 71.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah.
Tim Dillon
Leather skin. But they're still.
Rick Glassman
But it's a great place. There's no better place to give up. Oh, yeah, it is. That is the place.
Unknown
And then Key west is like the jizz puddle that Florida shot out because they're even more detached.
Rick Glassman
Oh, they're out.
Unknown
Oh, it's fun, man. It's just dark. There's a darkness there.
Tim Dillon
Oh, yeah.
Unknown
It's adults.
Rick Glassman
People that are trying to get away from stuff.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
People that have run away from stuff.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Unknown
You know, I always say it's like New Orleans. A Red Lobster because they got wild drinking. But they're also, like, beachy and fun.
Rick Glassman
They're fun people. Sunburned.
Unknown
Yes.
Rick Glassman
A nice red burn.
Unknown
Yeah. And they've seen it all. They're all like, you know, you talk to a cop and you can't. That's how the people are. They just.
Rick Glassman
No, they're awesome.
Unknown
They're all molested or molested.
Rick Glassman
And they're friendly. You'll go to a CVS and you'll ask. You'll be on the phone talking to somebody. They'll overhear you and give you a recommendation. They'll go, actually, what you should do.
Unknown
Yes.
Rick Glassman
And you're like, oh, you guys are so friendly here. And in New York, you can literally look at a cashier in a CVS and directly ask them a question. They will turn away. They'll go, do you have headphones? I go. And you're like, all right, well, so it's. There's a friendliness there because people just live.
Unknown
Yeah. There's no boundaries there.
Tim Dillon
I kind of like the rudeness of New Yorkers. I was walking with a tell the other day and we just walked into a CVS and a woman was taking forever. We just walked in front of her, she goes, oh, you too?
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
And it was like.
Tim Dillon
I was like, ah. We just laughed. It's kind of fun.
Rick Glassman
Of course.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Well, that's the thing in la, after people are very, like, passive aggressive.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And they just. They insult you in kind of a different way. And it's just like. Instead, no one will ever say you in la.
Unknown
No, no, no, no.
Rick Glassman
They'll never hear that in. In la, but it'll just be some version of that.
Unknown
It's a version of fuck you. Like, you bring Your girlfriend or your wife to a show. And the comments like, hey, what's up? You're like, this is my wife. And they're like, so you're working on that screenplay. Like, they don't even acknowledge her because she's not in the business.
Rick Glassman
Right. Or they'll go like this. They drop the, the. The word doing. They drop like they go like this. Ready? They go, how are you doing? Like it's a way to just say like, how are you doing? Like, are you. Are you.
Tim Dillon
I'm worried about you.
Rick Glassman
How are you doing?
Tim Dillon
Yeah, how are you?
Unknown
Interesting.
Rick Glassman
How you doing? You okay?
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Okay.
Tim Dillon
Keeps getting worse. It's like so kill yourself.
Rick Glassman
It's so patronizing. Are you okay?
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. You hear that? Whitney?
Rick Glassman
Yeah. How you doing?
Unknown
Yeah. She said she's moving to Texas, but I don't believe it.
Tim Dillon
Is she?
Rick Glassman
I think the moving to Texas is over.
Tim Dillon
Really? This is.
Rick Glassman
Mike, I. I could.
Tim Dillon
You putting your foot down was, I think a big part of that probably.
Rick Glassman
No, it wasn't. Well, maybe it was. I just think it would. Listen, here's the deal.
Tim Dillon
One person being like no is. Is helpful.
Rick Glassman
I think it's. Listen, at the end of the day, let's, let's. Joe was the best. The club is the best. We every. You know, I love Shane. I love Tony. I love everyone. Here's a problem. The. The city of Austin, Texas, let's be very honest, is dangerous. The homeless there are more aggressive than I've ever seen them in New York. Yeah, there's pockets of it that really do look San Fran. Like, it's not good.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, yeah.
Rick Glassman
Like as a. As a metropolis, it's bad.
Unknown
It's pretty small.
Rick Glassman
It's small, it's brown. There's no grass. It's. It's not green. It turns brown for four months out of the year. It's over 100 degrees. The lake is. Is vomit colored. And there are brain eating amoebas that can swim up your nose and kill you within 48 hours. It's rare, but it happens.
Unknown
Wow.
Tim Dillon
In Texas.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And all the hot lake states. When you get in the lake and go, ooh, this is nice and hot. You know, instead of a glacial like.
Unknown
Wow, you know, eat the brain, you.
Rick Glassman
Know, Listen, as a city, it's just. You cannot compare it. It. Sorry. To New York or Los Angeles.
Tim Dillon
Nice to hear that.
Rick Glassman
Can't be compared.
Tim Dillon
Nice to hear.
Rick Glassman
I mean, that's not news to anyone, right? I mean, no one.
Tim Dillon
Not to not.
Unknown
Don't say that in the green room of The Mothership, they'll stab you.
Tim Dillon
Well, I feel like there, in Biden's America, they move there and by now it's Trump's America. And all of America is kind of like Austin.
Rick Glassman
I think the politics of New York and LA are insane. I don't agree with any of the people that run anything. I'm just talking about the city.
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
I think that. I don't. The lifestyle, I don't. I, I would love if they elect a Republican governor in California. I'd love if it. I'm just talking about, let's be very honest about the actual city. Suburbs are nice, the people are cool. I love Texas, I love Dallas.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
I like Houston.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
I like San Antonio better. Like the actual city of Austin is four blocks and one of them is just 20 person brawls, like melees that they're broken up by horses like. And, and so I don't even know what we're talking about.
Unknown
I don't.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, I don't.
Unknown
I want to visit it. Yeah. Pop in for the weekend. Pop out. Yeah, I agree. But also all these towns you go to, they have to tell you how great it is, which is like a person who posts their wedding photo every day and you're like, you guys are going to break up, right?
Rick Glassman
Think about New York. Everyone shits on it. If you go, New York sucks. You go. Even the people that love it go. You have no idea.
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
You have no idea how much it sucks. I'll tell you why it sucks. And we own.
Tim Dillon
That's cuz we love it.
Rick Glassman
Cuz we love it.
Unknown
Exactly.
Tim Dillon
And my wife's a. You ever going to leave her? Of course not.
Unknown
Exactly. I love whore.
Rick Glassman
Right? That's the. You know.
Unknown
But you don't have to blow New York every day because it's already great. And look, it's got its problems too.
Tim Dillon
No. But this part of living here is being in a constant state of irritation because minute to minute, there's more frustration in New York, there's more stimulation. You're gonna get bumped by a crazy person more often. There's more people on each block, there's less space. You're navigating, you're going to be more frustrated here, but at the end of the day you're still like, good place to live.
Rick Glassman
Part of the thing also too is it's the worst of the right and the worst of the left. Like everyone's either like a proud boy who's like ready to get in a brawl or it's like a non binary blue hair Dreadlock gremlin.
Tim Dillon
They push each other to further.
Rick Glassman
What is it? You go, is there any normal human. Is there like a person? Normal people are like college kids or, you know, tourists.
Unknown
That's a good point.
Tim Dillon
Interesting. Yeah. No, I think they. They push each other so much that they end up, like, circling around and becoming the same thing.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, it's just like a weird.
Unknown
Well, the problem with New York and la, they're so different. Like, New York is like a family that's constantly yelling at each other and like, shut the up. You're like, jesus Christ, my family's dysfunctional. Then you go to LA and no one talks. That's like a family who doesn't. Never speaks. And like, so which one is better? That's why it's good. You do both.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
You go back and forth.
Rick Glassman
Because in LA it is lonely and weird. Yes. Soulless and vapid and strange and cold and isolating and, you know, it really is a hard place. And, you know, it's. It's, you know, it's. It's. There's. But it's. There's a weird seductiveness to it because, like, it is pretty and it smells nice. It's got honeysuckle and jasmine. Weirdly mysterious. And you keep thinking it's gonna get better and it never does. You keep having this vision of the life you'd like to live there if you had the right friends, were in a good relationship, or if you had all the things that, like, I'm like, well, if I had a mar. Type show and I had 10 writers, we all went in and hung out every day. Never like that. The perfect version that it could be.
Tim Dillon
Like that for you at some point.
Rick Glassman
Well, who knows?
Unknown
It never happens.
Rick Glassman
Never happens. And then you're always like, on a. On a canyon alone, thinking of killing yourself. And then you had. You got to come back here and have like a bowl of pasta.
Unknown
And there's a community. I think there's more community in the comedy New York.
Rick Glassman
Yes.
Tim Dillon
Well, there's more hanging out too.
Rick Glassman
That's also like, there's young comics, there's older Com. In la, it's very. Which I kind of like about a little bit is like. It's just very. You'd go, you do your work and you leave. There's something nice about that.
Unknown
That's true.
Rick Glassman
Because New York, as you get older, the hanging out all the time, you.
Tim Dillon
Don'T have to hang.
Rick Glassman
No.
Tim Dillon
You don't just go in.
Unknown
But you can't leave.
Rick Glassman
But.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, but the culture of it is.
Rick Glassman
But I like something nice about you're in your car and you do a bit and you get in your car and then you're alone. And that loneliness can actually add to like what you're doing.
Unknown
Oh yeah.
Rick Glassman
No one's in my head except me.
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
And I think some of those things are, can be good.
Tim Dillon
But you're also like a guy who I feel like your mind doesn't shut off and you're very in your head. So that might actually be a bonus for you to just be like, okay, like idea is jokes like that, you know.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, yeah. Sometimes it's good to just take a walk around like a, you know, an area and just like, you know. But. But then you also got to realize there's the, the holidays are so bad there because there's no soulful. Yeah, there's nothing there that feed. Nothing's real there.

Rick Glassman
Yeah, I mean all the stuff that I just said bad about Austin and I'll continue to. There is more of a soul in Texas than there is in California.
Unknown
That's true.
Rick Glassman
California is soul. Texas has a soul and California doesn't have a soul. I know offense to anyone who lives there, but you don't have a soul. Not everyone needs a soul. There's actually nothing wrong with not having this.
Unknown
I would say LA has no soul. I think other parts of California have some. So I think San Fran in the 90s had a lot of soul. I think.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
You go to San Diego, that Feels like Dan Dale has like some family value going on.
Rick Glassman
Off. There's something off where every film noir.
Tim Dillon
Takes place in la.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
It's about, you know, disappointment and broken people and.
Rick Glassman
Yes.
Tim Dillon
And. And someone. And some hot dame you over.
Rick Glassman
The Mexicans have souls.
Unknown
There you go.
Rick Glassman
Let's just say that Coco. The Mexicans have souls.
Unknown
Yes.
Rick Glassman
Sounds like a Christmas album. Carlson, Tim and Tucker Christmas. The Mexicans have souls, but the problem.
Unknown
Is they'll be leaving soon. So there goes the soul, folks. Solo so long. Look at those el salves.
Tim Dillon
How is your life different when you're.
Unknown
Like, what's a human centipede? Sorry.
Tim Dillon
What's your routine different day to day in la, to New York?
Rick Glassman
I mean, I just walk around more here and get, you know, you go to coffee with people and kind of like see people and you just, you just, you know, like, you see people and you just talk more with people and LA is just kind of like, you got to make plans with people because everyone lives far away. So. Yeah, all right, I'll do this with you on this day. And then that's the whole day. And then, you know. But what I loved is like when Malibu wasn't, you'd go, you'd swim in the ocean, you'd take a walk on the beach, you'd go back, you do spots, you'd sleep really well, you'd get up the next day. It was like a good.
Tim Dillon
You felt healthier, you felt.
Rick Glassman
Well, I don't know about healthier, but you feel like you're, it's, you're in an area where you can like, life do. Yeah, quality of life. You could do some cool stuff like New York comics. Come in, you go. We'll go to the beach, we'll go get sushi and we'll do a bunch of spots and it's a full day.
Unknown
That's nice.
Rick Glassman
It's a nice day. But now that we don't have that because Malibu's on fire, it's. Then it's harder. Yeah, and it's harder. It's kind of shitty. But New York is more spontaneous. You just walk around and you know, get into.
Unknown
Now this is a dumb, like a news style question, but do you think LA is gonna be hit with these fires? The regulations might slow down. Maybe they'll take a hint and, and, and change a little because, you know, you can't do anything there. The rules are out of control. The regulation. Build a pool for 30 years.
Rick Glassman
I think they.
Unknown
Are they gonna rewrite the ship and, and save LA or Is it to Hell no.
Rick Glassman
I mean, I'll just say this. Every time something happens, people go, this is the thing.
Tim Dillon
Right?
Rick Glassman
And then it's never really the thing. So I don't know if. If the reason LA is able to run is because you have like this economy in Northern California that's like $8 trillion because it's all the big tech companies and they kind of run it off that, like the way that California is able to run. They run it off this really consolidated huge bundle of money. What if they leave Northern California? They're not going to leave.
Tim Dillon
All right?
Rick Glassman
Because they got to recruit out of Stanford. That's one of the reasons Austin didn't work. You can't recruit at a Rice University in Houston. Houston. Do it a little bit. You need Stanford. Yeah, that's the thing. It's like, people talk about, oh, is this thing going to be the new Hollywood? You go, no, Hollywood's dead forever.
Unknown
Right?
Rick Glassman
But the Hollywood, you can't just make a thing what you want it to be in a week. You can't just. No, Miami's the new Wall Street. You just can't do that. No. You know what I mean? It just doesn't work like that. Areas of cultures that develop for very long periods of time, and there's a lot of reasons that, like, for example, people go, why is Palm Springs a thing? You go, well, it was 99 miles away from Paramount, and there was a clause in everybody's contract that while we're editing the movie, you can't be more than 200 miles away. So everybody drove 99 miles and found this beautiful desert and said, we're going to make it a hot place.
Tim Dillon
I didn't know that.
Rick Glassman
There's a reason that everything's every. Nothing's an accident.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Everything's developed in a certain way. Where you go, you go, oh, well, we'll. We'll just move all the tech things somewhere else. You go, yeah, but the literal Ivy League school that has the biggest. All of these tech guys are coming out of is Stanford.
Tim Dillon
Right.
Rick Glassman
So you can't. Can't you. You know, that's one of the reasons that Stanford, Stanford and the Bay Area is the Bay Area. Right. Like, it's not just an act, you know? So I think that, like, that's difficulty about, you know, completely agree.
Unknown
You can't take Hollywood and go, it's gonna be in Houston now.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Unknown
That's never gonna work. But I do think you can start a new thing that could become.
Rick Glassman
Yes.
Unknown
Like Edison, New Jersey is where Movie started. Thomas Edison with the film reel, he had all these rules. Everybody said this, let's go to California, there's more daylight, there's cheap land.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Unknown
And then they started Hollywood and that's how Hollywood started. All these Jews, writers, all that got together. Edison is dead. Now it's all Indian.
Tim Dillon
Well also how many movies are being filmed?
Rick Glassman
I follow that right up to the end. You said it's all India.
Unknown
Indians.
Rick Glassman
Oh, Indians, Indians.
Unknown
Edison has been, is, is now Indian.
Rick Glassman
Oh, it's Indians.
Unknown
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
I think they run Hollywood.
Rick Glassman
I didn't know what Hollywood taking over Hollywood.
Unknown
I go, no, no. Have you seen the Searchers have taken over Edison.
Tim Dillon
But no, but now.
Rick Glassman
Funniest racism. To be like these Indians in Hollywood. I can't get anywhere with these dot.
Unknown
They took the cabs and the, the bodegas, I'll give them that. But not and Edison. Right, Hollywood.
Tim Dillon
No, but how many movies like can afford to shoot in California?
Rick Glassman
None. They made a big mistake.
Tim Dillon
That's a, that's a big problem.
Rick Glassman
They destroyed their whole.
Tim Dillon
It's hard to shoot a movie in New York too. I mean how expensive it is.
Unknown
They go to Toronto, Atlanta, New Orleans.
Rick Glassman
Never should have let any productions leave because that to me, once you let them all leave and people go, oh, we don't have to live here, then nobody's who's going to live there. Right.
Unknown
They literally said, I think Ben Affleck just came out on a rant and said it's cheaper to ship the crew to Ireland and shoot there than to go across the Radford.
Tim Dillon
Look how they did the Brutalist. They shot it in all in Europe.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
Really?
Tim Dillon
Yeah. None of that was in America.
Rick Glassman
LA just becomes a vassal state of China. They're buying all the big real estate now. Truly.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
75% of people buying high end real estate in Los Angeles are Chinese now. So if you're selling a property over $10 million, at least 50% of them right now are being bought by foreign money and heavily Chinese. Well that's a couple of Saudis, couple of this, couple of that. But it's no longer a play. The head of the studio isn't living there anymore. It's the Chinese amusement.
Tim Dillon
Where are they living now?
Rick Glassman
They're, you know, they, they maybe are splitting time. They are there, you know, some of them, a lot of them are still there but they've downsized there. Some of them, you know, have gone somewhere else, you know.
Unknown
Yeah, I heard it's all Indian.
Rick Glassman
No, it's a lot of Indians.
Unknown
Yeah. God, this is wild.
Rick Glassman
There's not enough, there's not enough American money to, to, to. To just like New York. There's not enough American money to run these cities.
Unknown
Really?
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Unknown
Terrifying.
Rick Glassman
No, they're global. You take farm money out of the city, the real estate values will crash 40%.
Unknown
Wow.
Rick Glassman
Yeah. 50. Easily. Easily.
Unknown
How do we do it before in like the 50s?
Rick Glassman
Well, in the 50s you weren't number one. You didn't, you didn't have 200 million dollar apartment.
Tim Dillon
And also people could afford homes back then. You could have a regular job and.
Unknown
They should go back to that.
Rick Glassman
Look at CEO pay wasn't like a million times what a worker made. Like there was more of a value. But now you have. And Also in the 50s, all the countries, they didn't have billionaires in those countries. Right. Like you didn't have like now you have, India's coming up, China's there.
Unknown
Oh yeah.
Rick Glassman
Russia has tons of wealth. You know, Brazil, all these emerging market, whatever. Forget the Middle east, right. I mean, Dubai, Qatar, all these.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
They all have the money now to come in here and buy tons and tons of real estate. And without them, you know, you. The average condo price in Manhattan I think is $2.3 million, which is way higher than it should be without foreign money. That falls to probably about a million bucks, which is still a lot of money.
Unknown
But isn't that good? Then we can.
Rick Glassman
No, well, listen, it is good in certain ways.
Unknown
No one has a house anymore.
Rick Glassman
No, I agree with you and I think it might be good. But if you're invested, if your 401k, it will not be good for that because all of you have a place. All of your investments, even if you're a teacher, are tied into these big companies like BlackRock. And that's why that, this is why they do it. This. So they get everybody integrated. So they go, sure, you want to do this? We'll pull the plug and everybody loses. Right?
Tim Dillon
Right.
Rick Glassman
All your 401ks are indexed to these stocks. These stocks are based on. What do you think all these, all these private equity companies are doing?
Unknown
Right? Yeah.
Rick Glassman
So all of if these companies tumble because the prices of things tumble, I mean, it becomes a problem.
Unknown
Yikes.
Rick Glassman
So it's a big scam.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
But I think if you unwind it now, it could be ugly.
Tim Dillon
Right.
Unknown
Interesting.
Tim Dillon
It's bad, but undone, it could be.
Rick Glassman
Worse that it might be. Well, you know, it's a big club.
Unknown
And you ain't in it.
Rick Glassman
Yeah, we're all in it. That's really that's actually the worst thing.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
We're all, to some degree in it.
Unknown
Oh, it's so funny when people get offended by. And then we're living in this hellscape of, like, Chinese money.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Unknown
Yikes.
Tim Dillon
I gotta ask you this because Chrissy told this story about Emma Stone and you on the podcast.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
Does she hate you?
Unknown
You.
Rick Glassman
I don't know if she hates me, but she. She didn't like me because of, like, an incident in, like, a sushi place in Sushi Park. No, it's not. You're not gonna find it.
Tim Dillon
Trigger finger.
Rick Glassman
But no, she. She didn't like. Whatever. Like, she was in a sushi place that we both like going to, and there was, like, we didn't know whose table it was or whatever. And she didn't like. There's a couple of looks being thrown and that. What comments. You know, it's okay.
Unknown
Interesting.
Rick Glassman
You know.
Unknown
Yeah. I heard Bill Burr, somebody goes, you want to meet Obama? He goes, no, I don't want to be Obama. Like, you don't like Obama? He's like, no, I just want to be able to make fun of him.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Unknown
If I meet him, I can't shit on him.
Rick Glassman
I didn't want to go to the inauguration because I go. I want to be able to say whatever I want.
Unknown
Exactly.
Rick Glassman
And if I go and I. Then I feel weird about saying it.
Unknown
Maybe that makes sense.
Tim Dillon
I think that's the move, as a comedian.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
What. Are there any people who have reached out who you trash on your podcast where you're like, I feel a little bad. I shit on them, or.
Unknown
No, some people like it.
Rick Glassman
No one really reached. No one reaches out. And they're usually. Usually as big figures that are not. Not like, people like Meghan Markle don't care. That's why she succeeds. She doesn't care. She knows she leans in.
Unknown
Yes.
Rick Glassman
And that's why it works.
Unknown
Yes.
Tim Dillon
Is it work? I feel like. I guess she's just failing upward. I feel like everything she does seems like not.
Rick Glassman
It doesn't right now. I think part of it is just being famous, whether you're liked or hated.
Tim Dillon
Right.
Rick Glassman
I don't know if it matters if people like you or hate you. It's like, obviously you don't want to be hated. I guess some people don't want to, but. Yeah, I don't think she really cares. She doesn't seem to care.
Unknown
Yeah. My neighbors in Brooklyn are British, and they're like, we hate Meghan Markle. She ruined the royal family. We hate her show, too. We just finished it.
Rick Glassman
Right.
Unknown
So, like, they. They watch the show because they hate her.
Rick Glassman
No, you gotta hate.
Tim Dillon
Watch the stern thing.
Unknown
Yes, yes.
Tim Dillon
Do you listen?
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
Who. Who likes you?
Rick Glassman
They listen more.
Tim Dillon
People don't like you listen more.
Rick Glassman
So I think. I think that's the move, you know?
Unknown
Yikes. And Megan Markle's not gonna. She doesn't know. What a pod.
Rick Glassman
She doesn't care. Somebody showed her a clip of me, probably, and she goes, who cares?
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Fat idiots. I just scammed the prince.
Unknown
Exactly.
Rick Glassman
I just conned the royal family. What do I care what they say?
Tim Dillon
I wonder what that. I wonder what that behind closed doors is like.
Unknown
Oh, it can't be.
Rick Glassman
She knew what she was doing, I think, and I think it was. It was actually smart. She was like this. She goes this.
Tim Dillon
Well, she knew he didn't he court her. He saw her on TV and was like, I want her.
Unknown
I guess.
Rick Glassman
No, there's no way.
Unknown
I mean, that's what I heard. But I think she did the. The back work, by the way.
Tim Dillon
That is a cool level of success. You're like her.
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
Rick Glassman
Oh, yeah, for sure. But I think what was great about her, she's like, I'm so into. Like, in the beginning, she was so into. You watch that documentary, Henry. She was so into it in the beginning. She's, like, doing the appearances, everything like that. The deal with the British royal family is they. The. The people pay for their lifestyles. So the people. Hey. Their taxes allow these people to live like. Like Disney characters.
Unknown
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
And. And it's a strange tradition, but the payment for that.
Tim Dillon
Yeah.
Rick Glassman
Is that they. You. They get to know everything about your life. Meaning, like, it's the ultimate reality show to them. They don't have the Kardashians, they have the royal family.
Unknown
Right.
Rick Glassman
So they. It's these. These women in, like, Putney or whatever, these little places. You know what? Sky's cancer. What cancer does she have? And they're into it because that's their entertainment. Yes. And then Megan Marco came in and goes, what do you mean, you want a picture of my kid? And you go, it's our kid.
Tim Dillon
Right?
Rick Glassman
We pay for the school of this and. And you people belong to us. She didn't. She had to know that. You can't not know that going in.
Unknown
So Princess D in a car crash was like. Like, that's a ratings bonanza for them.
Rick Glassman
It was the season finale. That is the season finale of er. It's Juliana Margulies, including Will. They won't they.
Unknown
Yeah, that's just like, hey, we eliminated a character. We had to write you off.
Rick Glassman
It's big. So. But that's the. That's the game over there. It's like, they don't. They're obsessed with those people.
Unknown
Obsessed.
Rick Glassman
Princess Beatrice. These people look like they got hit in the mouth with a golf club up.
Unknown
I know, but none of them.
Tim Dillon
It's like the Wire. You're like, who's that character again?
Rick Glassman
Are hot. It doesn't matter. They're just royals. And they're upset because that's. By the way, if you take away the royal family over there, what do you have? That's the question. Like, here's the thing about America. If you take away the president. Yeah. If you take away the president in America, you can't. Even though, like, let's say the country would still kind of run you.
Unknown
I mean, Jesus, I'm eating here. Well, at least our. Our celebrities are attractive.

You know, he goes and marries the black chick. He moves away, and then the other guy went bald. But his wife is a. Is a class act.
Tim Dillon
It's like you were saying it was like 90s, right? Racism. But they were holding on to that shit.
Rick Glassman
That's right. But it probably wasn't even that bad. It was probably, like, very polite racism.
Tim Dillon
Well, did you hear what she said the. The most racist thing she's ever heard.
Rick Glassman
What?
Tim Dillon
Someone in the family said, oh, he's so pink and you're light brown. I wonder what color the baby will be. And she was like, this is the most racist thing I've ever heard. Sure.
Rick Glassman
I mean, listen, maybe it was the way they said it was indelicate, but it was probably not minor curiosity. Like, of course, what color do you think it would be?
Tim Dillon
It also sucks to be described as light pink. Think. Yeah, that's kind of rough, too.
Rick Glassman
A little bit duskier. What do you think's coming out of your love?
Unknown
Well, Chris Rock had that great bit. He's like, that ain't racist. Black people do that to black people. Like, oh, I hope he's not too dark. You know, he did it better.

Great curry over there.
Rick Glassman
Shishma Hall, a block from the Stand Comedy club in Glasgow, Scotland, maybe.
Unknown
Oh, really?
Tim Dillon
You got to hit us with some food racks because you are like you. By the way, you gave us a food wreck in one place.
Rick Glassman
Was it good?
Tim Dillon
It was good. And you're the one of the only people Veder will let.
Rick Glassman
Oh, yeah.
Tim Dillon
You've earned his respect as a food. He's a snobby hunt.
Rick Glassman
Yeah.
Tim Dillon
You've earned his respect.
Rick Glassman
Where was it? Do you remember?
Tim Dillon
I forgot where. It was a seafood place somewhere, but interesting. But you. It was Chicago. It did. No, I have a spot in Chicago. I go to Charlotte's Crab House in Chicago. That's what I go to there. But Stephano and I got fucking lit up last time we were there and ended up. He books us on a boat. We had like five martinis each. And he's like, we have one of his kids with him and his girlfriend. And he's like, I got us a boat tour. And I'm like, ah, that'll be nice. We'll get hammered. We're talking. It's with a guide. So we just have to sit there quietly as a guide's like. And here's this. We're just like. We're just like, cool.
Rick Glassman
You can tell them to shut up. Here's how much money. We don't care.
Unknown
That's true. Push them over like Robert Wagner.
Tim Dillon
But now you've earned. Give us some. Give us some food spots. New York, Louisiana. Where should we go?
Rick Glassman
Oh, I don't know anymore.
Unknown
Gotta be a steakhouse.
Rick Glassman
Texas. There's a great place in an alley. There's a junkie who's got really good, good. But this is the type of fentanyl where you're not dead.
Unknown
It's just.
Rick Glassman
You get real. You get real warm inside. No, I don't. I don't. I don't really know. I. I've kind of retired from giving wrecks because then I'll go to A place, and I'll be like, I'll be unhappy with it. And I just, I, you know, I gotta figure it out. On your own. I don't want to give people any advertising. These people.
Tim Dillon
Fair enough. Fair enough.
Rick Glassman
I think the attack. I think Italians either. Too many Italians on social media. I think people waiting four months to eat spicy ritoni. Stupid. I think this glorification of chicken parmesan is retarded. I think, like, I agree this, this for guys who grew up in New York, like, it's a little embarrassing. I'm a little embarrassed for all these people. But I get. If you come here from Ohio, you think it's a big deal to eat, like, spicy rigatoni. It's like, my friend's mother will make you spicy rigatoni. You know what I mean? She'll tell you the earth is flat and defend January 6th.
Tim Dillon
But that's part of the dish.
Rick Glassman
But the food is good. Like, I don't know the food direction the city's going. And I actually don't like. Oh, I don't like restaurants like the corner store where they're like, hey, what's about Totino's pizza rolls? Except they're $70 because we've got. I, I, I hate all this. It's all nightclubs. It's all gross. I remember when you used to eat in a restaurant, and it was like, you dress in a suit and the chef was from France and he hated you, but he made great food and everybody.
Tim Dillon
I love that you're, like, dressed in a suit. You look like you're Sandler right now, going to a pickup game.
Rick Glassman
Pressured to act a certain way.
Unknown
Right?
Rick Glassman
I just. We had lunch at Luger. It was just.
Tim Dillon
Now it was bad.
Unknown
I never, I thought it was.
Tim Dillon
By the way, which. He's my buddy there.
Unknown
Oh, I love Lugers.
Rick Glassman
I like Lugers too. But I'll tell you right now that the steak we had, it's not where it was interesting. It's not where it was.
Tim Dillon
I was. That was like our childhood. That was like.
Rick Glassman
I know. I loved it.
Tim Dillon
There was one on Long island, but.
Rick Glassman
It'S just not where it was.

Unknown
What's so great about it? What's the difference?
Rick Glassman
Looks like the burger sits on an onion.
Unknown
Okay.
Rick Glassman
So the juice from the burger cooks the onion, but it doesn't make the bun soggy.
Tim Dillon
Whoa.
Unknown
Science.
Rick Glassman
Science.
Tim Dillon
Yeah, I've heard this. Is this. Whenever you see it sits on a.
Rick Glassman
Raw onion, it puts the burger in the onion, but the onion itself starts to get cooked by the burger. So it's like a half cooked onion.
Unknown
Interesting.
Rick Glassman
And the bun doesn't get all up. And then the cheese is perfect. And then. I got to be honest, I love ketchup. I don't even use ketchup with it. Yeah. It's the best thing I've ever had in my. It's one of the best things I've ever had in my life.
Unknown
This is a big endorse.
Tim Dillon
We should. We should figure it out.
Unknown

Unknown
Okay.
Rick Glassman

In my neighborhood is get a little high end. So they're all looking at my house like, hey, you're the white trash douche on the block. Like, you got to step it up, right? And it's all these, like, rich parents. And so I went to the nursery, I picked out a bunch of. It cost me $8 million. I lugged it all back to the house. And I'm in the dirt with a spoon, trying to put some plants in, and this old guy walks by and he goes, what are you doing? And I'm like, I'm trying to spruce up the front lawn area. And he's like, you're doing it all wrong. You got a crack in your sidewalk. You got to change that. There's graffiti on your wall. And I'm like, all right, old man. Like, I'm on my knees here. I'm trying.
Tim Dillon
Is that his way of trying to help, or is he just annoying?
Unknown
I think he's just a dick. He's just, like, mansplaining me about how to garden and how my house sucks. And he's like, you got to step it up. And I'm like, I don't even know.
Rick Glassman
I don't like that he attacked you.
Unknown
Hello.
Rick Glassman
You were vulnerable. You're putting bulbs in. Yes. And then an old guy comes and just goes at you.

I mean, it was bad. I was on my hands and knees with an apron on my. My underwear.
Tim Dillon
I can't believe you're gardening. You're like, that's like real, dad.

Rick Glassman
I don't like that. Everything's key fobs now in the buildings to get anywhere.

That's true.
Rick Glassman
Like, there's just something weird about, like, I don't know, the. The level of security that everything is.

And they think it's kitschy.
Tim Dillon
Although, I'll tell you the worst one is when you check in and they give you. You're in a huge hotel for some reason, and the card keeps flipping. Not work.

Rick Glassman
Okay, well, that's ridiculous.
Unknown
That's complete.
Rick Glassman
You want to get on your hands and knees like a maid. I mean, give yourself a value.
