[Sam Morril]

Diversity.

[Mark Normand]

Wait, wait.

[Sam Morril]

What?

[Mark Normand]

We lost Bernie? Well, yeah, we can go higher. Oh, that's out of shot. What if we move on to.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, we'll figure it out.

[Mark Normand]

All right.

[Sam Morril]

All right.

[Mark Normand]

It's a bunch of dead people.

[Sam Morril]

I'm hurting, dude. I'm like, I. I.

[Guest or Producer]

What was last night?

[Sam Morril]

Santino in town. We're hanging at the Cellar. Not the hottest crowd. We were both a little annoyed, and I was like, you want to hit a bar? He was like, yeah, we hit a village haunt. We get smashed.

[Mark Normand]

Nice.

[Sam Morril]

Good times.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Well, last night was a rough night. Was the coldest day of the year. So, like, half my shows got canceled.

[Sam Morril]

It was crazy. And we just. We're just getting lit up, and it's like, I tried to get Normand out. I just missed. Oh, yeah, that's.

[Mark Normand]

You just missed me. I was already over the bridge.

[Sam Morril]

Cause you were on the bridge already. I was like, come on. Come join us. But we. Yeah, we were getting hammered. Some girl was on a date, and she was next to us, and she was trying. She was chatting us, like, while on the date. Then she was, like, making out with some Swedish guy. Whoa. And then she wouldn't go home with him, so she just, like, was hanging with us, and we were just like, cra. She was bombed.

[Mark Normand]

Wow. How was the sex?

[Sam Morril]

I tell you, after a few drinks, she did look pretty good. But so did Santino. That drunk.

[Mark Normand]

You like a redhead.

[Sam Morril]

Man. She was hilarious. She was just telling us story. She's like. We were like, why didn't you go home with him? She's like, cuz I got my Brazilian tomorrow.

[Adam Ray]

And.

[Sam Morril]

And we're like, yeah. No guy gives a no. I mean, you could be on your period. I'll still go down, and I don't give a shit.

[Mark Normand]

Exactly. Bloody Mary.

[Guest or Producer]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. My wife told me. I wish I had known this. She's like, girls only want to have sex when they feel hot. Which is so weird.

[Sam Morril]

I guess first impressions matter, but I said, if you really liked him, you would have gone home with them.

[Adam Ray]

And that's.

[Sam Morril]

You could tell she didn't really like. She's like, but he's so nice. And we were like, nice? And then I was like, let me guess. You banged a fucking jerk off, like, two weeks ago. She's like, I did. She banged an asshole, too. I was like, nice guys finish last.

[Mark Normand]

They really do. They really. Well, that guy finished first. Alone.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

By himself. But, yeah, they really do. It's sad. But then women want a nice guy, but they don't want to bang him. It's a horrible.

[Sam Morril]

We got smashed. And they're giving us these, like, you know, like when we were at the bar the other night. Analog, which is going to serve Analog in the Village, going to serve Bodega Cat, Cool little Twinkie bar. And Mark and I go in there and they're making us, like, peanut butter whiskey drinks. It's like a PB and J, but it's with our whiskey.

[Mark Normand]

Unreal.

[Sam Morril]

But that's the problem. They were making a shit like that at Sip and Guzzle last night, and it's so good. And you're just like, oh, man. Well, they're like, you know, this is so good. And they're like, yeah, we're not supposed to have seven of them. Like, well, then it'll make it taste like fucking peanut butter and jelly, dude.

[Mark Normand]

Of course.

[Sam Morril]

It's delicious.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Well, the booze business is down, so they got to get creative. They're getting real. Kids are going to start drinking with these tasty flavors.

[Sam Morril]

You hear what everyone's saying now? Everyone's saying you got to go out there and drink.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

Like, a lot of health experts are like, it's not worth the lack of isolation.

[Mark Normand]

Exactly.

[Sam Morril]

To be social, which I don't know if your body knows the difference.

[Mark Normand]

Right, right, right.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

But you meet people, you get laid, you make mistakes, you have fun, you have an adventure. Living life.

[Sam Morril]

Speaking of drinking, you finally watched My Rex Alicia.

[Guest or Producer]

Well, I watched the first half, like, six months ago, and then I put you off six months.

[Sam Morril]

And then you had to go get a Brazilian wax.

[Mark Normand]

And.

[Guest or Producer]

Because I was like, this movie is not your review.

[Mark Normand]

I'm listening. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And I was like, it just doesn't.

[Guest or Producer]

Do it for me. And you're like, just finish the scene. You're on. And I did. And I was like, this movie kicked into, like, sixth gear.

[Mark Normand]

It has everything because it's got the. The wife stuff and then the fun with the friends, but then the trauma, it's. It's got it all.

[Sam Morril]

It's a. It is a real look at, like, how fun drinking can be and how sad drinking.

[Mark Normand]

Yes, exactly.

[Sam Morril]

And that ending, dude, fuck heavy love a crazy ending.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, that. That's a great movie. What is it?

[Sam Morril]

Dutch, I think. Is it Danish or Norwegian?

[Mark Normand]

Danish.

[Guest or Producer]

But I don't know the difference between the two, to be honest.

[Mark Normand]

It's too fun to be Norwegian.

[Sam Morril]

Norway.

[Mark Normand]

Norway.

[Guest or Producer]

That was not the one that Simonson's from.

[Sam Morril]

It's the other one, Denmark. All right.

[Adam Ray]

That's what it is.

[Mark Normand]

There we go.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Well, Mads Mikkelsen is such a good fucking actor, too. That guy rules. And also this guy did another movie. Thom Vinterberg. Two other great movies. One's called the Celebration.

[Guest or Producer]

Oh, my God.

[Sam Morril]

You've seen that?

[Guest or Producer]

I didn't know it was the same guy, dude.

[Sam Morril]

So that movie, the same actor, the guy who's erased his brother is the friend in this.

[Adam Ray]

Holy shit.

[Sam Morril]

So the Celebration is basically. This is the premise. It's a rich family. It's the dad's 60th birthday, and it's this big fancy event. And the son gives his toast and he goes, I'd like to thank everyone for being here. Specifically, you know, my dad, who fucked me and my sister when we were six years old. And that's how it starts. And you're like, how. How is this birthday gonna get crazy? It's a weird ass dark movie.

[Guest or Producer]

It's shot like documentary style. It's like the Dogma 95. Guys who were just like, no hair, no makeup, no lighting, just story.

[Adam Ray]

Whoa.

[Sam Morril]

If you like it, I mean, funny in parts too. So dark in some parts, obviously. He did another one called the Hunt. This. This director's sick. Wow, he's great. And Mads Mikkelsen's in the Hunt also. That's a good kind of like cancel culture type movie.

[Mark Normand]

Got it.

[Sam Morril]

About a teacher who gets wrongfully accused of sleeping with a student.

[Mark Normand]

Whoa.

[Sam Morril]

That one's pretty dark, but it' good, man.

[Mark Normand]

I'm hooked. The Celebration. I watched that this weekend.

[Sam Morril]

It's a fucking good flick.

[Mark Normand]

Where do you go from there? I mean, it's the full Menendez brothers in the first two minutes.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, no, I mean, that's kind of. I don't want to give it away.

[Mark Normand]

Okay.

[Sam Morril]

I want people to watch. It's great.

[Mark Normand]

Holy moly.

[Guest or Producer]

But you were telling me about this. We were talking about another round. You're telling me about the director.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Guest or Producer]

Winterberg based the son character after his daughter.

[Sam Morril]

Right.

[Guest or Producer]

Who was like doing a lot of heavy drinking in college and, you know she died. Yeah, she died four weeks before filming.

[Sam Morril]

So it's like an emotional movie.

[Mark Normand]

For sure.

[Sam Morril]

It's terrible. But yeah, do. The movie is incredible.

[Mark Normand]

It's funny how emotion helps art. Like, I think the Fleetwood Mac Rumors is one of the best albums of all time. And they were all fucking each other, breaking up, hating each other, loving each other. I think that's added to the album.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, we should have fucked Godfrey would have been a better episode.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, he'll talk dirty to you a lot.

[Sam Morril]

You know who else is a fan of fogging?

[Mark Normand]

Me. Yeah. Daryl Hammond said that was the best he ever had. Speaking. We love Godfrey.

[Guest or Producer]

Speaking of the album rumors, I've looked at this album maybe a thousand times. They don't notice those balls hanging on.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, look at that. It's like truck nuts.

[Sam Morril]

Damn.

[Mark Normand]

It looks like the cherries at a slot machine.

[Guest or Producer]

That's always been there, huh? Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

What is it?

[Sam Morril]

I'm getting to the age where that looks pretty realistic. You sit down, you're like, oof. Yeah, the good days are over.

[Mark Normand]

I know.

[Sam Morril]

The only time your balls feel tight anymore is when it's this cold out.

[Mark Normand]

That's true. In a cold plunge. Oh, I love.

[Sam Morril]

I love the cold plunge. I miss it. I can't do it in the winter, man.

[Mark Normand]

No, it's crazy.

[Sam Morril]

This is fucking crazy.

[Mark Normand]

It's good when you're drinking, though. When you're out drunk and the cold air hits you, it's kind of nice.

[Sam Morril]

Dude, I got. You want to hear a crazy road story that happened to me this weekend? I'm at the DC Improv. I check into this hotel. Vitor arrives before me. So he already checks in, and I'm checking in, and they were like, yeah, you already checked in. I was like, no, no, no. This is my friend. They're like, all right, whatever. They just give me the key. Veteran and I are gonna get lunch. So he just walks to the room with me. We open the door. It's a husband and wife in the room. And the guy goes, what the fuck? And I was like, oh, shit. I'm sorry, man. I got the key right here.

[Mark Normand]

And, you know. Decent.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, they were decent. They were decent. But it was still. It's still, like, weird, you know? It's intrusive. And you're like, oh, shit, of course. And then he goes, you're that comedian. I was like, oh, shit. I'm sorry, man.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, wow.

[Sam Morril]

And he laughed it off. But then we go to the front desk, and we're like, oh, this happened. They weren't even, like, that nice about it. They were like, all right, whatever. And we were like, that's kind of weird.

[Mark Normand]

And you fucked me. I could have gotten shot walking in.

[Sam Morril]

The wrong room, and you just look like a dick. And they were like, all Right. Here's your new key. It's like, are we good? And I was like, vedra and I look at each other. I told Vedra I felt like we were on a hidden camera Jew show. Do they haggle? And we were looking at each other like, there should be a lunch.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Yes.

[Sam Morril]

They should have offered a free lunch. Although even when they do, Vedor always says it doesn't feel. Feel as good as when you pay for it.

[Mark Normand]

But the hidden camera jujo would be too sad. You're like, here we are on Bondi Beach.

[Sam Morril]

No, dude. Then we go to the room, and Veter's like, there should have been a lunch. I go, they should have offered. So I'm, like, checking in. I just hear him on the phone haggling. They offer a lunch, and then we go downstairs and we're eating lunch, and three people come over to apologize. And I was like, that's weird. They were not that apologetic at first. And three people come. They couldn't be nicer. And one guy goes, here's your new room. It's the presidential suite. Fucking upgrade.

[Mark Normand]

See the squeaky wheel? It gets the grease.

[Sam Morril]

Peter's good. Although I will say, while he was on the phone, he was talking a lot of shit and he was pretending to be me. So when he was like, you know, this is Sam Rail. This is really unexpected. I'm like, dude, you're making me sound like a fucking asshole now.

[Mark Normand]

Was he like, yo, did he go all the way?

[Guest or Producer]

And the irony is they're trying to keep it out of the act. And here it is in the act already.

[Sam Morril]

Well, but they. But they were nice in the end, okay? And I was like, this is unnecessary. Like, no, we insist. And I was like, all right.

[Mark Normand]

Interesting.

[Sam Morril]

And then you're in that big room alone. You're like, well, this is kind of sad. It's not a nice view.

[Mark Normand]

Great view. But those suites are. Because there's, like, three rooms, and you can't even use them all.

[Sam Morril]

I know. You're just like, what am I? But. But, you know, it's kind of fun. Vitor and I, he's like, we should watch a movie in here. Yeah, maybe we'll watch a movie.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Go full home alone, you know, get the candy out.

[Sam Morril]

It was fun. Yeah, man. Where were you this weekend? You were right, Brea.

[Mark Normand]

I did Edelman's pod. Yeah. We had a great time.

[Sam Morril]

Edelman. You got to get him back on here.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. So fun.

[Sam Morril]

The nut house.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Great house. Great time. The problem is with Brea, you're like I'm in la, but it's an hour and a half away, you know. So you drive in to do Edelman's pod, then you drive out, you're like, oh, now I'm in three hours of traffic.

[Sam Morril]

Did you stay in la?

[Mark Normand]

No, I couldn't.

[Sam Morril]

You stayed in Brea?

[Mark Normand]

Stay in boring ass sleepy Brea.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Which was probably for the best, you know. I had a few drinks at the club and then I go to bed.

[Sam Morril]

That's tough. I'll tell you the thing after the show, there's no traffic.

[Mark Normand]

That's true, that's true. And the ride to the airport at 5am on Sunday, because you got to return the rental car was 34 minutes to the airport, whereas it was like three hours during the week. By the way, here's a wreck. Six. Six rental. Super cool. You ever done six rental youl don't, you don't really know.

[Sam Morril]

I haven't.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, well, there's budget, there's Avis, there's 6$. But 6th is crazy. It's like regular, it's regular prices. But you get Beamers, Porsches, Whoa. All these like upgraded Mercedes.

[Sam Morril]

You could like comedians and cars out there.

[Mark Normand]

I know, totally. But my manager set me up with this. I was like, what the hell? Sick stuff. Never heard of this. I gotta fire this guy. And then you, they throw you the keys. It was super easy. I was in like this crazy ass Beamer, M series, whatever. Like crystal blue, crazy nav system, leather seats. I had the nos, I had all kinds of. And I was whizzing and waz and all. That was it. I had that one.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, that's nice.

[Mark Normand]

It was a sexy Beamer and boy, it was fun.

[Guest or Producer]

Wow. It's only 700. A month.

[Mark Normand]

A month? Yeah, a month, Jerry.

[Guest or Producer]

That's what it is for a week.

[Mark Normand]

I know, it's. It's a great little hack. So is Vita, but. But yeah, go to six. I'm a fan now and they're not paying me.

[Sam Morril]

Dude. How would the show is Bray? That's a good club.

[Mark Normand]

You know what sucks? Thursday I had the weakest crowd. One show Thursday, two Friday, three Saturday.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, you went. That's a weird order. Yeah, I would much prefer. I don't like flying in and doing two at night, but I would much rather two a night. The three shows on one night, it's a nightmare. It's tough, but you're on autopilot.

[Mark Normand]

I know, but Thursday the managers come out, the agent comes out. Cause you're in Brea, you Know they all live out in la and I had the worst show of the weekend, so they were all like, okay, good to see you. Take it easy. Maybe we should drink. Drop this guy.

[Sam Morril]

You're doing a lot of new shit.

[Mark Normand]

A lot of new. But then the rest of the weekend I'm cooking, so that was a bummer.

[Sam Morril]

It's also fun when you get that crowd that, like, embraces the new man.

[Mark Normand]

Yes, yes.

[Sam Morril]

That's what clubs are the best, man.

[Mark Normand]

I know. I'm getting a lot of work done. Clubs, I'm having so much fun.

[Sam Morril]

You're doing. We're doing both. Doing LA in May.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

The fest.

[Sam Morril]

I thought we were booked the same night. For a second. I almost called my agent and I was like, no, no, you're the next night. I was like, thank God.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, hell, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You're doing the sixth. I think I'm doing the seventh.

[Mark Normand]

Yes, yes.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. I'm doing a thing with Jordan Jensen, Joe List and Rachel.

[Mark Normand]

It should be fun. Oh, that's a fun lineup. That's gonna be a blast. But it's gonna be a fight for who? Who's going first on that one?

[Guest or Producer]

Are we gonna do a pot out there?

[Mark Normand]

I think we should. Yeah. Let's get some Paul Rudds or some Michael Mann or some whip it out, dude.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Let's see that ham bone. But, yeah, so let's do L. A. We'll do it up. It'll be nice to have some New York people in la. Take the LA out of LA a little bit.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. How long you think you're gonna stay out?

[Mark Normand]

Three days. Jesus. What a honker.

[Guest or Producer]

That's soft.

[Mark Normand]

I know.

[Sam Morril]

What does this podcast become?

[Mark Normand]

I don't know.

[Sam Morril]

We're having this, like, intellectual film discussion. They're like, check out his dick, dude. That's soft. Why don't you go home and watch Heated Rivalry.

[Adam Ray]

This shows.

[Sam Morril]

That show's awful.

[Mark Normand]

It's awful. I'm sick of this. I'm sick of hearing about it. It's just a gay porn with a little bit of hockey.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

And they're like. It's got. It's sports. You like sports. I'm like, yeah, you know what? I don't like all the butt. The whole. I know. And I'm not homophobic. It's bad writing.

[Mark Normand]

It's bad writing.

[Sam Morril]

I'm a little homophobic, but it's bad writing. No, it's. Oh, God.

[Adam Ray]

Speaking of Rivals.

[Mark Normand]

There we go.

[Sam Morril]

No, I love Brokeback. That was great.

[Mark Normand]

Broke back was great. Wow.

[Sam Morril]

Why am I the girl here? Look at that. I'm taller than you. Why you're kissing down on me? What the is that?

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Kissing you up. I may as well kick my heel out. The hell's happening?

[Guest or Producer]

I think Mark's saying, do you want to kiss me? I think he's saying that.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, boy. My hair is straight in the back, too. Something.

[Sam Morril]

That's what comes from doing Legion of Skanks.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, that's true. This fan base, we got off easy.

[Adam Ray]

We did.

[Mark Normand]

Literally. Oh, good times. That was a. Hot up that sky. Yeah. We were on. We were rolling. We were drinking. That was great.

[Sam Morril]

I was watching your glass. I'm like, you better. I showed up drunk.

[Mark Normand]

You showed up drunk. And I had about a half left. And you. You gave me a flaw.

[Sam Morril]

Get the in there. Because I'm. I'm pounding these because I already had. You know, when you're already drinking, you're like. You start drinking a little quickly. You.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Let's keep this buzz going. And I was eyeballing Marks like, you better stay with me, dude.

[Mark Normand]

I'm calling right now. This is gonna be a fun year. I can feel it. 2026. We're already in January. We're already having a great time. I mean, the Knicks are struggling, but other than that.

[Sam Morril]

I was at that game. That was. That's why I was drunk.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

What are you gonna do?

[Mark Normand]

Santino's in town. You're at swallows and Gurgles or whatever bar. I mean, sip and guzzle. We're having a great time.

[Sam Morril]

Cool little bar.

[Mark Normand]

I never heard of it.

[Sam Morril]

How did I miss a little cool cocktail spot?

[Mark Normand]

I love a cool cocktail spot.

[Sam Morril]

Love a good. Whoa, wait a minute.

[Mark Normand]

Tail.

[Sam Morril]

Love a good cock.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, God. It just shows that, like, no one's ever. Okay, well, no one's ever done a gay hockey show, so they're like, we'll do this. And then everybody loves it. It's just. It's just the new thing.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

But it's also, like, poorly lit, and it's horrible, and it's like, the writing's bad, and it's like.

[Mark Normand]

And where are the gays? They're supposed to be great with lighting.

[Sam Morril]

And I know it's low budget. There's only so much you could do. Probably. I think. I'm sure. But this was. Season two is probably gonna be, like, insane.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Well, here's a question. Are the actors all gay or. They're acting.

[Sam Morril]

I think they're gay.

[Adam Ray]

What do you think?

[Sam Morril]

That dude's definitely gay.

[Guest or Producer]

What do you want of scores?

[Sam Morril]

I Don't know. Pull it up.

[Mark Normand]

I don't know. I give it two boners.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, my God.

[Mark Normand]

What?

[Sam Morril]

All right, what do you think I'm gonna say, like 50%?

[Mark Normand]

Are we talking audience or maybe both.

[Sam Morril]

And they're pretty audience I bet is like 92 or something.

[Guest or Producer]

Nailed it.

[Sam Morril]

I knew it'd be in the 90s.

[Mark Normand]

You're gay. It's a test.

[Sam Morril]

Wait, what's the critic score?

[Mark Normand]

98.

[Adam Ray]

Wow.

[Mark Normand]

98.

[Adam Ray]

Perfect score.

[Sam Morril]

Almost.

[Mark Normand]

That's insane.

[Sam Morril]

Because, you know, because critics love to just be like, you know what? It's. It's self referential.

[Mark Normand]

It's inclusive.

[Sam Morril]

It's aware of what it is.

[Mark Normand]

Is it aware?

[Sam Morril]

Is it just a bad show that caught on? It's not good.

[Mark Normand]

No. Especially if you're a hockey fan. It's horrible. You're like, this is zero hockey.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

It's just them on the ice looking at each other like, that's not. How long are they in time out? You know?

[Sam Morril]

And it's just not realistic. Like, the first and second pick.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Statistically, it's not even possible.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. We gotta make a hetero hockey called penalty box. Hey. All right.

[Sam Morril]

It's just dudes running a train on chicks together. Like, we're not gay. We just. A lot of chicks together.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. I don't know why these women are on the ice, but it.

[Sam Morril]

Apparently, we're getting threesome opportunities. But they're. Yeah, threesome counter here. But they're all a double A teamer.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, they're asking for you both. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

They want the devil. Threesome.

[Mark Normand]

Patreon.

[Sam Morril]

Patreon.

[Mark Normand]

But the girl's name is Sammy. So I was like, this is gonna confuse me because I'm gonna be yelling your name.

[Sam Morril]

But he's never called me Sammy, so I won't be confused. He calls me Sam.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, that's true.

[Sam Morril]

But, dude, that would.

[Mark Normand]

She's not bad.

[Sam Morril]

Was she good?

[Mark Normand]

She's pretty. I mean, the face is very pretty.

[Sam Morril]

All right, coming up. Actually, we.

[Mark Normand]

I don't know if we should put that up here.

[Guest or Producer]

But she's knockout, though.

[Mark Normand]

Very pretty.

[Sam Morril]

It's been late in years.

[Mark Normand]

I bet if you bring her to Analog and you go, norman's on the way. You could probably hook up with her and I'll just not show up.

[Sam Morril]

That's a. That's a great move. That's not. But that's not the threesome. Him.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, but you can blame it on me. He didn't show up. The guy's a flake. Piece of what?

[Sam Morril]

A piece of.

[Mark Normand]

I'm at home watching Heated Rivalry alone.

[Sam Morril]

He's not here. I mean, men don't show up. Maybe we need a woman.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, and then we peek around, call what's her face. The other lady who was bartending. Hannah, Heidi.

[Guest or Producer]

Mandy.

[Sam Morril]

Not even close.

[Mark Normand]

Not even close. Well, she'll never.

[Sam Morril]

Nicholas Cage movie.

[Mark Normand]

Maddie.

[Sam Morril]

Mandy.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, man, it's weird.

[Sam Morril]

I think a revenge movie.

[Guest or Producer]

Oh, yeah, I remember this. Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Oh, I don't remember. Mandy. Nicholas K. He was in deep debt, and he had to make a lot of to. To make that money.

[Sam Morril]

He's been married, like, five times.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You gotta not do. Don't you have an accountant who's like.

[Mark Normand]

What, do you just be with them? Why do you have to sign papers?

[Sam Morril]

But you know what? I bet really artistic dudes like that are like, no, man, I gotta go all in on everything and just fuck their life up.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

But you could live with a lawyer.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. And not a wife.

[Sam Morril]

Same with dudes who just raw dog everyone. They're just like, I'll just have a bunch of kids. And you're like, those are usually creative types.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Nothing's holding them down, you know? Nothing's, like, stifling them.

[Mark Normand]

Right. That's true. Yeah. They just. Yeah. Nick Cannon. These guys are just.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. One of the greats, for sure. Great writer, great thinker.

[Mark Normand]

I know.

[Sam Morril]

Or Denzel, for sure.

[Mark Normand]

Great comic. He did it all.

[Guest or Producer]

Good Coxman. I mean, he's got 11 kids.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, the ladies.

[Sam Morril]

Thirteen, I think.

[Adam Ray]

Thirteen kids.

[Sam Morril]

Wow. Are you a Coxman? I feel like a Coxman is strictly a person who, like, pulls it off without all the baggage.

[Mark Normand]

That's true.

[Sam Morril]

I'm not calling a guy who nuts that much with the consequence.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Especially with that many different mothers. That's work. That's.

[Mark Normand]

That's child abuse is what it is.

[Sam Morril]

Kind of is.

[Mark Normand]

Completely. He's not hanging out with all these kids and getting to know them.

[Guest or Producer]

12 children.

[Mark Normand]

I'm sure he's paying for 12 kids. Six moms, 12 kids. Wow. A dozen. That's great.

[Sam Morril]

Zion Zillin.

[Mark Normand]

Is that more than Musk?

[Sam Morril]

Musk is 13, I think.

[Mark Normand]

Wow, these African Americans are out of control. But, yeah, Musk is. He's trying to populate the planet, I think.

[Sam Morril]

Well, that's where the rich and the poor intersect, is they will nut at anything.

[Mark Normand]

Hear, hear.

[Sam Morril]

I think rich people are like, well, there's no consequence. I'll just keep nutting and stuff. And poor people are like, like, well, it feels good. I deserve something that feels good.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

And rich people like, I could take care of these people. I got all the money in the world.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

So you came in.

[Guest or Producer]

Oh, sorry. You came in hot. Talking about peeves.

[Sam Morril]

I got some peeves.

[Mark Normand]

That's good.

[Sam Morril]

I'd save some for our guest, but.

[Mark Normand]

When'S he showing up?

[Guest or Producer]

He said he's 10 minutes late, so any minute.

[Mark Normand]

Okay.

[Sam Morril]

Is he here? I think so.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, it's. You don't have to get up, but I forgot I was gonna say. Damn. I'm bummed I missed that bar hang.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, my God. It was crazy.

[Mark Normand]

Damn.

[Sam Morril]

A lot of rando. A lot of bar creatures, too. I like a bar hang that turns into a whole thing where everyone starts chiming in.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, we met some people.

[Sam Morril]

We met the chef from that hot new restaurant, The86. He was.

[Mark Normand]

Wow.

[Sam Morril]

Have you heard of that restaurant?

[Mark Normand]

I've heard of it. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

I've heard of it, too.

[Sam Morril]

Supposed to be very hard to get into.

[Mark Normand]

I believe we sent us.

[Sam Morril]

He sent Santino and I two shots.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, nice.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Wow. Well, Santino is like, we're no slouches, but he's a very recognizable figure. The fiery red hair. He's on one of the biggest podcasts.

[Sam Morril]

Dave.

[Mark Normand]

Dave. That other show, he was on Curb.

[Sam Morril]

He was good on Curb.

[Mark Normand]

Great on Curb.

[Sam Morril]

Great actor, too.

[Mark Normand]

I mean, look at that.

[Adam Ray]

Really?

[Sam Morril]

Looks cool, right? Looks like. It kind of looks like Muso and Frank's a little bit.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Once upon a time in Hollywood.

[Mark Normand]

Yes. Very 30s, very deco.

[Sam Morril]

I like a throwback.

[Mark Normand]

I love.

[Sam Morril]

I like when you feel a little transported, and then you walk outside the bar and the wind hits you in the face, and you're like, oh, it's fucking cold.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, look at that. And you went to a diner today alone.

[Sam Morril]

I did. I love a diner alone. I think that's a wreck. Go to a diner alone, especially hungover, you just pound coffee, eggs.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

This is how you beat it. And, yeah, shout out Vaselka. One of the best diners. Great, great diner.

[Mark Normand]

Especially if you can get a booth alone. Coffee. You get some people watching. Nothing better.

[Sam Morril]

It was dead. I love a dead diner.

[Mark Normand]

Love a dead diner.

[Sam Morril]

You feel bad because you're like, this can't be good. Yeah, business. But you're like, this is how you want. No one wants a packed diner. No, but where you go, you go for the. You go for the isolation.

[Mark Normand]

Well, we fought. We're big diner queefs. And we follow this diner guy, and he's like, I'm at this one in Park Slope. I'm at this one in Lower East Side. And we try to go to as many as we can, but they're dying. They're like Native Americans. There's like four left.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, it's tough, man.

[Mark Normand]

It's tough. They're like Blockbuster. They used to be everywhere. Remember how many diners were in New York?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. And then what sucks is the ones that survive have to just jack up the prices. And you're like, did I just spend $23 on an omelet?

[Mark Normand]

I know.

[Sam Morril]

It takes the charm away.

[Mark Normand]

The diner completely. It's supposed to be, you know, blue collar, cheap shit. Coffee is supposed to be like, 65 cents. Now it's like $4.65. You know, I've been watching Mad Men, but we used to go to a diner. You walk out of there, two meals. It was like $18.

[Sam Morril]

You look at the day, like, this grilled cheese is supposed to be 135.

[Mark Normand]

Come here, too. What's that? Black in here? But yeah. Yeah, it's all changed. The diners are out of control.

[Guest or Producer]

I love movies from the 70s where they'll eat a grilled cheese and a black coffee and then just leave change on the counter and walk out.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, Just change.

[Mark Normand]

Crazy. It's fun to watch the. The. An old movie too. You know, you're like, wow, Ham and eggs were like 88 cents.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. It's cool when you see, like, the menu hasn't really changed. And it's like, you know, just like burger, fries, just. We eat all the same.

[Mark Normand]

I know, I know. Apparently they say the food's gotten worse chemically, you know, process wise. But yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, now they're making. They were making crazy. You know, we were doing negronis and last night. But then they. He'd be like, this is like a wagu. Old fashioned. Whatever. We're just hammered.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Just trying. Whatever.

[Mark Normand]

Sometimes I annoy those guys because I'm like, can I just get like, a tequila soda? Because I don't want all the sugar. I don't want all the syrup. A lot of times, and I'm chock full of syrup. That's what. That's the hangover.

[Sam Morril]

How's our guest coming? All right.

[Mark Normand]

Something feels. What do you guys do? A little secret thing. I see a backpack over there. Is he doing some kind of prank?

[Sam Morril]

Is there breakaway bottles in there? Yeah, we were doing that for a while. That was kind of fun.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, that was fun. Wait, wait. Well, give me. Give me a menu price here. Is this in New York?

[Sam Morril]

No, this.

[Guest or Producer]

That doesn't have.

[Sam Morril]

That's got to be like Jersey?

[Guest or Producer]

Yeah, that's Jersey fresh ham sirloin steak.

[Mark Normand]

Hey, there he is.

[Mark Normand]

[Adam Ray]

[Sam Morril]

This has to come out this weekend. Now then.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, all right.

[Adam Ray]

Well, all right. Should we take it again?

[Sam Morril]

Let's just. Yeah, just do this then. Yeah, let's talk Seahawks.

[Adam Ray]

Okay. Great. Very fired up, Arnold man. Darnold. We haven't been to the Super bowl in 13 years. Let me ask a friend and comedian's perspective on something. So, you know, first theater tour. I'm on it right now. You guys have both been the who is me Theater Tour. Adamraycomi.com for tickets or X videos or jambajuice.com if you just want to get excited for something. But it. Yeah, I was doing the more and Sam texted me, was like, favorite venue.

[Sam Morril]

It might be my favorite.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, it was very sweet text, first of all.

[Sam Morril]

And I just say he posted. I was like, oh, my.

[Adam Ray]

Because usually you just text. You think you're better than me and what's that?

[Sam Morril]

That. No, you're Seattle kids. So it's like, it's iconic.

[Adam Ray]

It was. And Pearl Jam, I think did a some music video there back in the day.

[Mark Normand]

Even flow.

[Adam Ray]

Even flow. Yes.

[Mark Normand]

The rafters.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah. I mean, you. If you just put your ear up to the walls, you can hear Ed Vader being like, you know, this is where a titty and so. But that's all you hear.

[Sam Morril]

And it trails up.

[Mark Normand]

He came. Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

But it was the acoustics. You made a big point to say were like, I mean, three levels, but everybody's right up on top.

[Sam Morril]

That's my favorite.

[Adam Ray]

And just, I don't know. You want a theater? I just, you know, we did the Wilbur this past weekend and then we're like in Maine and Rhode island and New Haven. Jealous. And.

[Sam Morril]

And Best pizza in the country.

[Adam Ray]

Best pizza in New Haven. But even like this theater in Rhode island was like 100 years old. And I just like a old historic venue. Like, I don't know, it's cool to feel like. Like, you know, that it's not some, you know, obviously brand new venues rule. But like, the Beacon, for example, just feels like every show has. From Seinfeld to BET to two girls 1. Everything's been through there.

[Mark Normand]

And they always get the grip. The grip guy. Like, you know, Chaplin played here.

[Adam Ray]

Yes.

[Mark Normand]

Like, whoa, bro.

[Adam Ray]

The sound in the light skies are like. I've seen everything from, you know, vertical Horizon to Willie Nelson, man. And they both. They both love to party, you know.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Houdini levitated off the stage tonight. You did queef jokes. That was good stuff.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, right?

[Adam Ray]

Pretty much the same show. But the. But what was I gonna say? Oh, so I'm doing, you know, town hall this weekend, first time, and Town hall's epic.

[Mark Normand]

Great.

[Adam Ray]

That's awesome.

[Sam Morril]

And that's another where they're on top of you, you know.

[Adam Ray]

Okay, great. And all these are. Are pretty close to being clean.

[Mark Normand]

Hell yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Troy is the. Yeah, they've all been. There's maybe been two so far that have been like Wilbur late show was maybe a thousand out of 1100, so 100, you know, you give or take.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

But this. Troy Savings Hall, Troy Banks, Albany's. Yeah, the.

[Mark Normand]

The. Yep.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah. That I was going to cancel because the NFC Championship game is Sunday now. And I've got to know the GM the really well. John Schneider was like a. I have a list of people now that I hit up when I go home where it's like my two best friends from. From elementary school, my mom, obviously, and. And now John Steiner, the Seahawks gm. He had me roast the Seahawks last year. So I got to know Mike McDonald, the coach, really well. I got him to do this video when I went on MCAF to like come in. It was. I did a first pitch for the Mariners and. And like pretended. Pretended to come up short with my pitch. And then I called the pen and Mike came out to throw his first pitch. And so everybody was like, please welcome the Sears coach, Mike McDonald. He's a cool ass guy. He's like, yeah, you're my tie to the comedy world. And. And doing all these goofy bits is like. Because he's kind of a pretty even killed nerdy place catan. Is that the game? It's like a strategy game, Chris. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You play a lot of drugs in that game.

[Adam Ray]

You get a lot of pills from. And so no shout out. We love you, Chris. And.

[Mark Normand]

But, but, but yeah, man, Go.

[Sam Morril]

But so.

[Adam Ray]

So I have all these ties now to the. And known Sammy for since he got drafted. Katan. Yeah. So I was like, I got to go back to the game, cuz, you know, I sit in their suites and go to the field and, like, party with them after when they win. And. But I. I got this, like, I think it was a sign from God, man. I get this Facebook message, try to check all my. In in doses. And I get this message. You know, obviously, we all know how, like, impactful comedy is now, and, like, sometimes you. You see it more some days than others. As far as, like, a message or a meet and greet, somebody's like, you know, my wife just had her 18th abortion, and this is her first time out in two years. You know, you.

[Mark Normand]

And it really.

[Adam Ray]

It means a lot.

[Sam Morril]

And it's like, man, she's been going out a lot.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And so. And so it got his message, and it was just this guy, like, tugging on my heartstrings, and I was like, I can't. Like. So my whole thing was I was gonna cancel after we won on Saturday against the Niners. We had the game on. On the big screen during the meet and greet on stage. And so I'm just taking shots with people and going nuts. And I'm like, I mean, we won 41 to 6. It was awesome.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And everybody was like, oh, against the red team. Yeah, totally. And so now we're playing the Rams, obviously. But. But everybody around you, the people I.

[Sam Morril]

Think of are you and soder.

[Adam Ray]

Because it's 49ers. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Oh. I'm like, what? One of my friends is gonna be really sad.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, I know, dude. That sports the though. But so I. So I'm like, I'm definitely canceling Albany because I'm like, it's Albany. I'm canceling. How many times you get to go to the game and have this many connects and then this kid's message, dude, like, I literally was like, I go, it's a sign from God. I can't.

[Sam Morril]

Are you with the egg?

[Adam Ray]

It's Troy Savings.

[Guest or Producer]

Savings bank.

[Adam Ray]

Savings bank.

[Mark Normand]

That's bigger than the egg.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, nice. The egg is cool.

[Mark Normand]

Egg's awesome.

[Adam Ray]

Really?

[Mark Normand]

But it's like.

[Adam Ray]

But also like. And so then I'm gonna drive back from Albany the next day to fly out. Yeah. I don't know, but I guess what I'm asking is, like, obviously canceling week of is, like, shitty.

[Sam Morril]

Like.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, you slice it well.

[Sam Morril]

You also. You're talking about on a podcast. You'd have to just be like, something happened.

[Adam Ray]

No, no, I was fully. I was fully going to be like, I'm going to the game. Right, Dad? I was gonna. But I. But I just was like, that's such a. Like, this is. We get to do so much cool shit. This is so many shows. Which, again, you just don't think about it. And I guess I'm trying to shed a light.

[Sam Morril]

Dude, I do this during the Knicks playoffs because it's like, you know, it's just.

[Mark Normand]

Just.

[Sam Morril]

It's so rare that we're in the mix. And I'd use an alias. The seller and asked. You'd be like, why do you always use an alias? And be like, because you get mad when I cancel when I use my name. And the Nicks, he's like, oh, I. I get it. She was like, she totally got it.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. But so cool. Did you ever think you'd be doing a theater tour and then you go, hey, let me cancel that theater. I want to go to a game.

[Adam Ray]

Because I could go sit in the owner's suite or whatever?

[Mark Normand]

I mean, what a life you're living.

[Adam Ray]

It's totally.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And so. But then that's why you just got to go. But if we go to the super bowl, then. And this is what. My sweet wife was breaking down. She's like, you can't bail. She's like, if we. You win, it's like, we'll go to the. You know, I got some options there. And then that's. And then also it's like, yeah, you fly. I'd have to take a 7am Would.

[Sam Morril]

You go to the Super Bowl?

[Adam Ray]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

And you don't have a gig on the Super Bowl. No one.

[Adam Ray]

I met the Mothership the Friday and Saturday, but I purposely canceled Sunday.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

To also just watch the game because I was like, I don't want to be on stage during the Super Bowl. Like, yeah, but I was just playing on, watching it. You also don't know how good your team is going to be. So this. These gigs were booked, you know, in. In, you know, know, 10 years ago, so.

[Mark Normand]

That's so cool you got the local sports team from your city.

[Adam Ray]

Honestly, the cool. I mean, I don't know how you guys are with, like, athletes or musicians.

[Mark Normand]

I think we're probably all over the athletes.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, bro. I know, I know.

[Adam Ray]

It is tough. It's. What do you think guys get more nervous about like making a cool shot actually.

[Mark Normand]

Holy shit.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, like Stephanie's friend Tommy the cop that's about to break his fucking hand.

[Mark Normand]

He's really.

[Sam Morril]

Don't high five. That guy benches like 400 pounds.

[Adam Ray]

Like a pickup line to a girl, like. Or an icebreaker to an athlete for a guy. What's more nerve wracking, you know, because you're like, you're like. I went up to a girl and I told her if she needed help in the bathroom, I'd help Her wipe. I thought that'd be funny, you know? But then I went up to, you know. You know, Carl Anthony Towns, and I told him, like, you know, how's the weather up there? You know? And he, you know, like. But you're like, you know, I have your trading card. Like, what? Like, what's your opener to these guys when you meet them?

[Sam Morril]

[Mark Normand]

Well, I blew with that guy in the lounge. What was that guy?

[Adam Ray]

That.

[Mark Normand]

That famous, legendary basketball player. And I was like, hey, I'm Mark Kyle Rittenhouse. Remember that? We were at the. We're sitting at the bar, waiting to get a drink, and some guy walked up, and I made a joke, and you were like. And I was like, hey, what's up, Marbury?

[Adam Ray]

Whoa. Cool.

[Mark Normand]

I didn't know who it was always there.

[Sam Morril]

Well, Mark's like. Mark goes, Mark? And he goes, stefan. I was just. I just shook my head. I'm like, urquhart, we're at the Garden.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, yeah, of course. There's a. You can find this picture. I gotta sit courtside. The Knicks game.

[Mark Normand]

I thought it was Seal.

[Adam Ray]

Holy. We'll be right back. He does. He got kissed by something. Yeah, the courtside thing, I got to do once, and I think the picture is online. And I went. And I was wearing a Sonic's jersey because they were playing, I think, okc. So my buddy and I, we. We sat down there to kind of taunt.

[Sam Morril]

Okay, this is like the Elaine Seifle episode where she wears.

[Adam Ray]

Totally. And I think if it was me here. Actually, no, it was. So I go into the little private area, and there was. You know how they give out bracelets, like at the. In the bucket sometimes in that little. So they give me. John McEnroe was there, and I grabbed a bracelet, and he was right there. And I go. I go, hey, John. I go, they told me that you wanted to be bracelet buddies. And he goes, who told you that?

[Mark Normand]

If you type in Adam Ray Spike Lee, Rami Malek, maybe courtside, some guy got a picture of him. My Asian friend Dale Tan, who we call Bruce Lee, and then Rami and Spike Lee. And it looks. There it is. To your far left.

[Mark Normand]

Look at this.

[Adam Ray]

So this is.

[Mark Normand]

This is a Mad Libs.

[Adam Ray]

I love it.

Like, I was like, emmett, I'm doing. He's like, so what do you do? And I go, oh, I'm a comedian. He goes, oh, you see? Do you show us? And stuff? This is, by the way, a very heightened version of how he actually was. He was pretty chill, but he was a little, you know, uncomfy. Maybe it was courtside or everyone was looking at him.

[Mark Normand]

And.

[Adam Ray]

And I go, I make actually a Gotham this weekend, if you want to come. And he was like, can I bring my girlfriend? And I was like, dude, you can bring your girlfriend's girlfriend. You can hide your kids, hide your wives, Bring whoever you want.

[Mark Normand]

I mean, you're you're really lay.

[Adam Ray]

I. I don't know if I put my hand out like that or he went like this. My hand in there. Like, was he doing that? And I was like, you got it. You know, if he reached in, he.

[Sam Morril]

Better be on some lists because he was a hell of a player.

[Adam Ray]

I posted this picture. Sadly, it's gotten more engagement on my IG than anything I've ever done.

[Sam Morril]

It's amazing.

[Adam Ray]

But I tagged him in it once and he commented below. Oh.

[Mark Normand]

Did he say, may I have this dance? He grabbed your hand.

[Sam Morril]

Warm up for tight.

[Adam Ray]

They were. Yeah, but so. So that the courtside thing. We hadn't really talked a lot, so I invited him to the show. I got his email. We corresponded. No Romney.

[Sam Morril]

Malik.

[Adam Ray]

How many people are confusing Kendall, Gill and Romney right now? But so. And Spike, something had happened. And Dale and I. Dale, my buddy Dale to the right is like. I mean, bro, if he was in here right now, he'd just be laughing. Hysteric. He's like the best friend non comic there. Yes, man. You know, like everything. See material dude. He just thinks you're the funniest person.

[Adam Ray]

So I did a Dikembe finger wave and then I said something. I can't remember what I said, but in a Dikembe voice. And like, Spike laughed and Rami was just like, like, didn't know what to do. But like, the guy got a shot of like our one exchange. So I posted it, being like, we're all best friends. We're going to Cabo next year.

[Guest or Producer]

Can we hear you, Dikembe in 2026?

[Adam Ray]

What does it sound like, Mike to Kembe in 2026?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, well, he.

[Adam Ray]

He's passed away, right?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Did he.

[Sam Morril]

Dude, pull up. Pull up my Dike Mutombo message to San Morrell. He. I paid for. I paid a cami for a cameo.

[Adam Ray]

Well, let me do. I'll do what I think he sounded. I mean, I met him once at the NBA awards and I was like, I go. I go, man, I still. I'm a big songs fan. I haven't forgiven you, but like, you're a legend. He's like, yeah, well, can you do.

[Mark Normand]

The message in his voice?

[Sam Morril]

Voice?

[Mark Normand]

Because I've never heard him talk, I don't think.

[Sam Morril]

No, it's. It's like you got a cameo from him. Yeah, just like, look, he's got a.

[Adam Ray]

Little Cookie Monster going on.

[Sam Morril]

A little Cookie Monster.

[Mark Normand]

That's.

[Adam Ray]

This is.

[Sam Morril]

He's so good at this.

[Mark Normand]

He knows. Impression.

[Adam Ray]

He wasn't coming to America 2. No, he wasn't.

[Mark Normand]

Slow down.

[Sam Morril]

No, it's a cameo, dude.

[Adam Ray]

The second one. Yeah.

[Guest or Producer]

And I typed in your name. Didn't come up.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, maybe it's not there.

[Mark Normand]

Damn.

[Adam Ray]

You guys ever bought cameos for.

[Mark Normand]

He got me a Sugar rat.

[Sam Morril]

Cool.

[Adam Ray]

Mark McGrath.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Cool.

[Sam Morril]

I thought it'd just be fun to be like a random band. He's like, mark, we hear you're our biggest fan.

[Adam Ray]

1,000%, dude.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, he killed it. He was really fun.

[Mark Normand]

He did great. He sang a song or something. Okay. Tekembe. He can't find it.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, it's probably not that good.

[Mark Normand]

That'd be great if Google just went like this. You called it.

[Adam Ray]

Let's go.

[Sam Morril]

I got his autograph when I was a kid because I used to wait outside the Garden for them to come out. And he was in nick for a minute and I had a blue jersey on, like a warm up, whatever. And he just. I was like, Mr. Mutombo. And he was probably like, too old to be asking for an autograph, but he just take out a blue Sharpie and wrote in it and it just didn't even come out.

[Mark Normand]

That counts.

[Adam Ray]

I once followed that dude.

[Sam Morril]

It's like, I don't know.

[Adam Ray]

I love that you did that, though, waiting outside the arena. That's a very like. Like, yeah. You do get to a point as an adult where you're like, I should probably slow it down with the autographs. But as a kid, I think it's all fair game. My mom took me to a manners game. They were playing the Boston Red Sox. It's when they had, you know, move on Wade Boggs and these guys. And the Red Sox are historically known for boozing in the clubhouse. And just like even.

[Sam Morril]

I think it's like the Legend.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, totally. And especially in the early 90s, but even when they won their World Series, it sounds like they were all getting up. And then obviously, you know, your Yanks, you know, David Wells and Doc Gooden, obviously. So they're all probably still, you know, doing Fentanyl cupcakes, bumps and Wells, the perfect game. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

A Famous story. Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Whoa.

[Adam Ray]

So I. I follow. I walk. He. Wade Boggs walks out, and I give him my ball, and he goes, walk with me. So I'm just like, walk with him. I turn around. My mom's like, I guess he's raising you now. And I'm walking down all the way.

[Sam Morril]

Hold your hand like this.

[Adam Ray]

He goes, I saw the guilt pick. And then. And he go, don't make it weird. And we get. We walk to the Greyhound bus. He just keeps walking. He's in front of me. He walks on the bus. So I just like, you know, I'm nervous, but also, I'm just like, yeah, man, I could maybe get on a team bus. I'm like nine years old.

[Sam Morril]

Old.

[Adam Ray]

Walk up. He's walking all the way down the AIs of the bus. And so I just follow him down. And I see Roger Clemens and moan all these guys. And I'm just walking by, and they're all just minding their business. Some of them were looking up, like, why is there a kid on the bus? But I. Either it was normal, or maybe they thought I was a make a wish. Or they're like, who's the lesbian that Kendall Gil knows? Or like, maybe it's one of, you know, maybe he's. You know, Epstein's gonna come pick him up. And so I get. I get close through the end, and then Bog sits down, down, and he goes, what's your name? And I go, adam. And he goes, I wrote Allen. And then he handed me the ball.

[Mark Normand]

Whoa.

[Adam Ray]

So he had signed it before and then still was just like, what's your name? And he's like, I it up.

[Sam Morril]

But did he fix it or.

[Adam Ray]

No, no, no. He just gave me the ball.

[Mark Normand]

Add a little. Little dick on the D on the L there. That would make a D. I mean.

[Adam Ray]

Look at this guy. Yeah, he was a badass.

[Sam Morril]

So, dude, I mean, that guy was just instant on base.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, really?

[Sam Morril]

He was such a hard out. Baseball and Tony Gwynn.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

90S.

[Mark Normand]

The 90s were the.

[Adam Ray]

Baseball's the sport too, where I think you can get away with the most boozing. Boozing.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. But that's gotta be, like, the stories. He claims that. I mean, it's fabricated, obviously, but he says, like, he drank 100 beers in a flight, which, like, there's no.

[Adam Ray]

There's no way, dude. There's no way KREISCHER hasn't drank 100 beers. Right. And I feel like he made us.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, I've flown with him. And he's scared of flying. So he drinks extra on flights.

[Adam Ray]

We left the super bowl in New Orleans when we did a show there, I guess it was last year and he did an arena show and it was, you know, myself and Shane and Nikki and Tony and Guy Fieri. And so we're leaving on the. Bert got a plane with Howie Long and Howie bailed, so he's like, you guys want to come on my plane? And we're like, yeah. So it was my wife and Buddy and I and we had to get up though at seven and drive three hours to the airport. So I was literally like in some private.

[Mark Normand]

Outside of New Orleans.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, interesting.

[Adam Ray]

Is Lafayette.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, that's about three hours.

[Adam Ray]

Great. That's where it was. There you go, kids. You can't smoke weed and have a short term memory.

[Mark Normand]

There you go.

[Adam Ray]

Every time I remember somebody's name from the show and some crowd work and they come to the meet and greet and I, I go, dave, Right? How the fuck. I'm like, that gives me another two years of smoking pot.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Do you smoke a lot of weed?

[Adam Ray]

Not a lot, but enough to. At night. I can't smoke when I'm on. I can't be high or drunk when I'm on stage because I just. Even if I'm not doing anything in the crowd, I just need to have my wits about me, you know, it blows me away.

[Sam Morril]

Like I see Big J just smoke a joint and then he's so fucking quick.

[Adam Ray]

I know some people are born different, but I can't do it.

[Mark Normand]

It's all a personality thing. Like if you. Some people take an Adderall and they feel calm. Yeah, I take an Adderall and I'm like, you know, shellacking the. The roof. Yeah, yeah, it's. I'm buzzed up.

[Sam Morril]

I love those pills.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, well, but you're pretty add. Do you. Do you go up or down when you take.

[Sam Morril]

I could just listen.

[Mark Normand]

Wow.

[Sam Morril]

I mean, I'm not on it right now. I can. I'm on it now. But like. Cuz.

[Adam Ray]

Which is exactly what a drug fiend would say, show us your pockets.

[Sam Morril]

But no, but I, I love it. I mean, I, I'm locked in.

[Adam Ray]

You don't smoke at all.

[Sam Morril]

I don't like it, man.

[Mark Normand]

I don't like it either.

[Adam Ray]

Paranoid.

[Sam Morril]

Edible. I hate it.

[Adam Ray]

I used to be the guy that was like, when people would say that, I'd go, oh, you just having smoke.

[Sam Morril]

With the right people?

[Adam Ray]

Or like you, you probably took one hit and you just, you say that. It, it doesn't Jam with you. But then I've also had the terrible edible experiences. I was once in my same room with Josh Wolf and Josh Wolf would do like. I mean, he does shows where he does a Friday mushroom show.

[Mark Normand]

Jesus.

[Adam Ray]

And Josh is so funny and he tells these great stories, but his Friday performs on mushrooms. On all the mushrooms. And it's like. But he's another guy where he can still be locked in and people. It's advertised. So people come to the show knowing he shroomed out. And so we did probably, you know, I'll do a 2.5 milligram edible. We saw the show last night, the all out show with all the rotating cast of comics, you know.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Sarah Silverman, Craig Robinson, Heidi Gardner and Jason Matsukas. Super funny and. And so a little edible for that to where I can still like be in control. And like when I see Craig after, I'm not gonna be like, what's up, man? Like, I'm like, great job, you know, because I don't want to, you know, embarrass myself, but. But I definitely took probably close to 80 milligrams with Josh and he didn't tell me.

[Mark Normand]

Oh.

[Adam Ray]

And it was. It's this big brownie. And so I get home to my apartment in LA and I started like having a freak out. And there's a game that sometimes when you smoke too much or ingest too much that you play and potheads will know this, a little game called if I do this, my heart won't explode. And it's a real fun game where you just psych yourself out and have a freak out on your patio. And so I was like, my heart was beating really fast. I was about to drive myself to Cedar Sinai and I go out to the little like shitty patio. I had an apartment, apartment. And I like, in my head I was like, just keep moving, just keep moving. So I'm out there going like, like, just like tap dancing, like. And our apartment was set up like there was a pool in the middle and almost like Melrose Place. So there's apartments all the way around the pool and. And so ours was looking across to another guy's apartment. And after about six minutes of step ball changing on my patio, I hear this guy just go, hey man, are you okay?

[Mark Normand]

Whoa.

[Adam Ray]

And I go, yeah, I'm just rehearsing cuz I like got nervous and like didn't want to be caught being high, even though I should have been reaching out for help.

[Sam Morril]

So I go, I'm just rehearsing in la. That line works in Kansas. You're getting your ass in la.

[Adam Ray]

Everyone's like, oh, he's probably in, you know, the Nutcracker. And so I retrieved back to my inside and like somewhat calmed down. And then I was like, I'm never doing. It was about 80, which is crazy. But Josh would. There's some people that can just like do that many and just be.

[Mark Normand]

We used to.

[Sam Morril]

I remember the guy used to come to the seller and just sell cookies and you just would like not know how much was in it.

[Adam Ray]

Was he dressed as a girl scout or. No, no, it was a guy. It was a guy that was selling drugs.

[Sam Morril]

No, he was. It would. That was the thing. And I remember like I see Nikki get. And she's like, oh, you should get this like really good. And I'd be like, oh, okay, cool. And then I got it and oh, I had like three roommates at the time. A full on panic attack and they had people over. I was just like rocking in a bed and I was like, this is crazy.

[Mark Normand]

It's a nightmare.

[Sam Morril]

I ate the whole cookie.

[Mark Normand]

I had. I got. I sold a show. The first. You know, you pitch a million shows. I finally sold a show. So they fly out to la because once you sell it, you got to pitch it.

[Adam Ray]

Yep.

[Mark Normand]

You know, to Netflix, Hulu, whatever. So they flew me out. This is a big deal. This is years ago. I did a show at the Comedy Store, Sam Tripoli show. They just hand you a bag of weed. It's like gummies and cookies and joints and all this. And I go, I'm not a weed guy. Take the bag back. And he goes, well, at least take the cbd. And I go, oh, cbd. This will help me sleep. So I just guzzled the whole jar of it and I went thc. It was thc, of course. I don't know how much it was, but it was a full jar. I was like, I'm going to sleep tonight. I'm not a great sleeper. I'm CBD in my ass. Out, out. And I get back to my hotel and I was like, oh my God. And it was like I fell asleep and I woke up high. It was one of those. So I'm in a dark room, like fell off the bed. I'm laying on the bed and it felt like the room was vertical. So I was holding on to the. The leg of the bed like. Cuz I thought I was going to slide into. Into hell.

[Sam Morril]

My God, you in Titanic at the end you're like, yeah, falling.

[Mark Normand]

And then I Made the worst mistake. I like army crawled to the bathroom, turned the light on, and I looked in the mirror. And when you look in the mirror and ah, it is just the Satan.

[Sam Morril]

Cruise and Vanilla Sky. I was like, dude, I. I happened to me too.

[Mark Normand]

I was on the road, missed all the pitches.

[Sam Morril]

I was with.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, I missed them all. My manager dropped me.

[Sam Morril]

No way. No.

[Mark Normand]

Well, he was the. The was. He threatened to drop me, but he was like, you're crazy. They flew you out first class. D. I missed them all.

[Adam Ray]

It was an accident or like.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, of course. But he was like, you, us.

[Sam Morril]

That's such a relatable accident, though. Like, that's not like you're just doing blow all night. You up Tripoli?

[Adam Ray]

My dad did that. He's 81. And he took. By himself and. And he took about 81. Yeah, it took about. Now he's in a home. But two years ago he took about. Yeah. 60 milligrams of THC because he thought it was CBD.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And I'm like. And he. And he got. He goes, I got stuck trying to take my hoodie off for four hours. I thought I was gonna die. And he's like, I watched it, but naked in the phrase. One of his favorite shows. So he just like played on repeat. He's like, what guy got to listen to a bunch of new episodes I hadn't seen? But he was like caught. And his phone, he couldn't get. So he couldn't call anybody. So he was like caught in his hoodie, freaking out. High at 7,980. I mean, like, that's terrifying.

[Mark Normand]

He was naked and afraid by the end of it.

[Adam Ray]

Geraldo used to always. I remember he had a great bit about doing all the drugs, like later in life or something. I love that bit.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Cuz it was something about like, you know, when you're looking up with a hand of God, that's when you want to be doing all the drugs, you know?

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Now. Now you. You want PTA meetings. That's when you want to be a little up.

[Adam Ray]

God, all the drugs when I was younger. Yeah, you got to be. Yeah, dude.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. No, I had a full on panic attack. It's. I didn't understand anxiety. I didn't not. I mean, I have anxiety, but not like to that level where you're like having a panic attack.

[Mark Normand]

You're gonna die.

[Sam Morril]

Well, I was like. I was like, I'm dying. It's. I'm gonna die in a drink Baltimore hotel room.

[Adam Ray]

You can control your. I think your buzz with booze a little bit better.

[Mark Normand]

Totally.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. We know what we're consuming.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

And it feels like it ends when you're on edibles. You're like, am I gonna be like this forever?

[Adam Ray]

Totally. Even when I took that two and a half before the the show last night, I was like, that's probably fine, but it was a new brand of gas gummy. So I was like, I don't know that I'm not gonna go up on stage right now and start talking to Craig. Like, you know, if I get inspired enough. Like.

[Sam Morril]

Is that Adam Ray?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Jesus.

[Adam Ray]

Do something from the office.

[Mark Normand]

So crazy question.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

So you're doing the stand up tour. I assume you got a hot hour cooking.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mark Normand]

And you've always been an improv guy. Character guy. Now you're full on 100 stand up, selling out everyone. Where do you get people going do this?

[Adam Ray]

So funny. Yeah. I mean I've been doing. That's what's so funny. Even people that come out forever though, bro. I've been stand for 20 years. Even during the fill. This is why I probably also stopped doing Phil is cuz I wasn't. I didn't want to just. If I was three years in and found Dr. Phil, you probably wouldn't have seen me again because I would have been like, I found something. Bye bye.

[Mark Normand]

And it's a hit.

[Adam Ray]

I'm going to die in the woodcap. But. But you know, I'd say, I don't know, three, four years into stand Up, I was just like, yeah, I think I'm gonna. The. The drug and the grind of it obviously hits you early, but I just was like, oh, I'm never gonna not do this. And then the filth thing, it was like the only. It felt like a reward, honestly, because it was like so different. I just needed something else. Always like just doing stand up all the time. Even though shows different. Different cities, whatever.

[Sam Morril]

But it was. That wouldn't have hit in three years because the reason Phil worked to me is that you had the improv chops from the road.

[Adam Ray]

I've been honing all my skills, podcasting and inter. Doing a model and the crowd work and being comfy to go into a. A 5,000 seat theater and just walk through the crowd and man on the street.

[Sam Morril]

Totally.

[Adam Ray]

Or sing stuff with a band or whatever. But no, I've been doing so like we had like during March, I think it was like we had like five Phil shows on a weekend, which was too many. And then literally the next weekend, five shows like the Philly Punchline. And then the next weekend, four more Phil shows. So every time there was a free weekend, it was stand up. So every month would be like, like three or four fills and then three weekends of standup. So there was no. So it was just, it was, you know, but again, no one's making me doing it.

[Sam Morril]

It was killing.

[Adam Ray]

So that's why I never complain. It's like nobody said, you better get, I mean, agents a little bit.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, but you feel, yeah, you. And you also feel like, I don't want to lose my fastball with standup either.

[Adam Ray]

Sure. That's exactly why I didn't also want to go back to like any club and have. I wanted to feel like when I walked on stage, they're like, oh, cool, I'm still working on stuff. And this is what I. This is first. And that thing is just like a fun thing. That's in addition to. But I also didn't want people, you know, for my, you know, people are going to think what they think. And people finding me doing stand up through Phil or whatever is great because however people come to your shows is awesome. But I didn't want to go to the clubs and have people being. I didn't want to not have anything to be working on and not to be still looked at as a stand up, because that's where I am first, you know, So I didn't want people. But also, you can't control control. There's some people just go, oh, yeah, the Dr. Phil thing. So. And you're still doing stand up. I was like, obviously, yeah. But I don't take offense.

[Sam Morril]

It's another gear.

[Adam Ray]

It's another gear. To me, it was always just like another.

[Sam Morril]

But I think it's smart that you.

[Adam Ray]

That you put us.

[Sam Morril]

Because you're like, I don't want to only. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And also we did for two and a half year, like, and I don't.

[Sam Morril]

Know, but it probably brought so many people who like, I mean, 100 this all the time. Like with us, we're like so many people. Like, you guys have a podcast. They just know us from stand up.

[Mark Normand]

Or vice versa.

[Sam Morril]

Or vice versa.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

So it's like, yeah, you do other things too, but.

[Adam Ray]

And it really, the coolest thing is that like, like, you know, you just want like respect from your peers so much. And it's like being in LA and throwing so many darts and then like. And you're just like, all right, you just gotta at some point go control. You can control, you know, just trying to get up all the time, right. And just keep pushing yourself creatively. And so to find the coolest part of it, obviously, all the joy that hopefully we. That people found from it and the fun, obviously, like you guys both think, thank God, you know, wanted to jam on it, which was just so fun. But people that I. I've looked up to and am fans of, it was like something that I, you know, kind of did that, that. That put me on a level where people were like, oh, cool. Like you did something that, that we think is funny and fun. And that was like. Because it, you know, and another reason to hang that wasn't. I mean, like, shortly after that, people that wanted me on their pods that. That maybe hadn't asked before. And it's like, it wasn't. It didn't feel like a too soon thing. It was like, yeah, I've been doing this 20 years, so like, oh, cool. I can pop into a Here or a Rogan or whatever and be comfy to chitchat. Because it' fun for us too because.

[Mark Normand]

We get to do a different muscle to go on the show that.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, totally. Because I know the. I know. I heard you and. And Joseph List talk about how, you know, I guess terrifying. And I think on the first one Joe went on in Milwaukee, he was like, yeah. And Phil just up there talking about this. And he said this. And he's like. And he said, you know, and then the N word. And then I said the N word. And I'm just like, I don't know what was happening, you know.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And I was like, I feel. But he also, you know, I guess in the moment it does feel nerve wracking because. Yeah, it is a different muscle.

[Mark Normand]

Well, we rely on our act. And then you're just like, so.

[Adam Ray]

But you guys are also good. Funny people. Are funny people, man. And you wouldn't have said yes to it if you.

[Sam Morril]

No, I think for sure. I was pounding some booze backstage in his show.

[Adam Ray]

You and Corolla.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, he had me in a headlock.

[Adam Ray]

At the end of the night.

[Sam Morril]

Oh yeah. He was tell me his life story. I was like, holy, we're up.

[Adam Ray]

I didn't realize how much Adam drank too.

[Mark Normand]

Oh yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Went to this little bar called Carryon in Arizona.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And it's.

[Mark Normand]

It's the Fly bar. The plane bar.

[Adam Ray]

Yes.

[Sam Morril]

We got hijacked by these terrorists.

[Adam Ray]

And we went there. They kind of held it open for us to after the show and we were there till maybe three and like, they just gave us everything. And so And Adam, you know, I got there after a while after the meet and greet everything. So I was like, oh, whoever's there will be there to say what's up to. But Sammy was still there and Adam and I couldn't leave.

[Sam Morril]

He had a hold on me. I walked by and. And five. Who else?

[Mark Normand]

Someone else, strong guy.

[Sam Morril]

And I walked by, they were like, what was that? I'm like, I mean I was enjoying talking to him, but I was pretty up.

[Mark Normand]

Wow, you got to have the same hair.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, he looks like my illegitimate father.

[Mark Normand]

He does, he really does.

[Adam Ray]

Do you think when you're kids are older, like Mark for you, like do you think you'll get into like The I don't know, 60s, 70s and just be like, all right, I'm gonna fucking turn things up a notch on the booze train because I've done my job with the kid.

[Mark Normand]

Yes. Right. Yeah. And I'm so good at drinking now. And I'll only be better by then.

[Adam Ray]

I know.

[Mark Normand]

And maybe there'll be some magic cure all by. There will be, you know, no hangover pill, whatever it is.

[Sam Morril]

I want to ask you about the Dr. Phil shows. He was telling me Sydney Sweeney's at one of the shows. Who are some people that showed up? You were just like, what the are you doing here?

[Adam Ray]

Oh, bro. Well, city. Yeah. So I met Scooter Braun at a, at a show. Yeah. Wait, I saw you guys talking about that and I do listen to you guys part all the time. It's always really funny. And you know, I love too, I just like, like, I don't know, fun, silly. You guys go on tangents. You're goofy, you're like, you can talk about some serious but nothing's too ever heady. But so yeah, Scooter Braun I met doing a show with sh. And, and he was like, yeah, I showed Sydney. She'd never seen I guess any stand up Schultz she saw. And then he showed her Dr. Phil and she was like, I want to go see that live. And he's so he up, he's like, when's the next one? I go, the next one is the last one. And so that was like in July and they marked it on the calendar. And then a few days out he was like, we're going to come through, is that cool? And I was like, for sure. And then I was like, she doesn't want to come up and do a bit, does she? She has two movies coming out. He's like, she just wants to watch. I'm like, that's Cool.

[Mark Normand]

She's so normal and little. You're like, oh my God, that's her. This woman I've stared at.

[Adam Ray]

Movie star. Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

She's standing right there. And you know when you NBA game. And there's like in the front, whatever. And they're like all right, I got to do a 360 dunk and a backflip my legs and they. They kick it up. I kicked it up a notch cuz she was there and I. I totally got in my head and I felt like I really struggled.

[Adam Ray]

Oh my God.

[Mark Normand]

It was all cuz of this. She got my head.

[Adam Ray]

This blonde Sweeney curse on you.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, but very nice lady.

[Adam Ray]

And we. And we had did a whole surprise video when he came came out and people went nuts and he murdered. We had Pete Holmes and Casey, Rocket and Grace.

[Sam Morril]

I mean, I just saw clips, but it's like, you know, there's a woman is like, she's editing it and he's like, you're an idiot. Yeah. And it's like you're calling the person who's editing the thing like, you've been in showbiz what, 80 years. You don't know that. Maybe to be nice to the. I mean, to anyone, but to the.

[Mark Normand]

Editor, it's like being mean to the chef. He's gonna jizz in your shouter.

[Sam Morril]

Exactly.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, you were asking Mark, too, about people screaming out and like, yeah, you know, look, you know, I remember when I saw Chappelle, second season of Chappelle Show. I saw him in Vegas at Mandalay Bay at the House of Blues, and he paused the show because people were screaming out Rick James so much.

[Mark Normand]

That's a nightmare.

[Adam Ray]

And it was just so. So like, up flow, whatever. And I. Every. Most of the crowd is upset at these people for doing that because you're like, dude, it's obvious.

[Sam Morril]

Like, it's a show.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, we're all here from that. But, like, stop.

[Sam Morril]

It's also not clever.

[Adam Ray]

You're breaking up all his. Totally. And so, yeah, I know it.

[Sam Morril]

I wrote it exactly.

[Adam Ray]

So I'm getting a little bit of that of like, oh, we'll be right back, or whatever. But, like, this past weekend in Maine, somebody just stood up. One guy was like, rob, roast me. And I was like, what? He's like, roast me, man. Just roast me, man. And. And so then I just kind of took some time and talked through some stuff, tried to gather some info, and then. And then ended up roasting him pretty good. And then he stayed standing, so I just tried to ignore him. Usually I tried to include the distraction to squash the distraction. That's kind of how I view it, where it's like, you can't just sometimes ignore. You gotta like, oh yeah, welcome in and use him to go into a bit maybe about drinking or something. And. And then another guy was just like, dude, Biden face. And after I'd done a few bits about Biden, he was like, dude, Biden face. I go, you want me bring more to your show?

[Sam Morril]

I got something, don't worry, it's going to work.

[Adam Ray]

And I just like, you know, I've. I've done both sides of the coin where it's like I try to now kill it with kindness, not lose my cool. Because like, I've done that and it's just nobody wins you, the crowd, even people that are on your side. In my eyes, I'm like, you want to keep them on your side as long as possible. Possible. And so like to. Even though it might be justified to just be like, dude, shut the up, there's still a chunk of people that might be like, well, he was just trying to be a fan.

[Sam Morril]

You kill him with kindness and then.

[Adam Ray]

You keep the crowd on your side for when you have to.

[Mark Normand]

Well, sometimes I just had my. My last Instagram is a guy going, I did a puzzle today, so I'm doing the whole like, is he autistic or is he a dick? And I had to like walk that.

[Sam Morril]

Line with me too.

[Adam Ray]

Favorite.

[Sam Morril]

And he was autistic and he was kind of charming once I got to know him.

[Adam Ray]

Favorite clip of 2026 so far, dude.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, thanks.

[Adam Ray]

Oh man, y just cuz you were so like, everyone was like, yeah, like waiting for you with beta breath to like comment on what was happening.

[Mark Normand]

He was like, hello, Hello. I did a puzzle and I'm like, okay. He goes, can I get a cake now? And I'm like, oh, this guy is a half a tard. But you don't know if he's with you.

[Adam Ray]

But the Q tip line, my buddy speaking, Urkel, Julia White sent me a video of that, of that video. And he was like, he was masterful.

[Mark Normand]

Wow. Urkel, shout out.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, dude, the Q tip line was so funny, dude.

[Sam Morril]

He sent me a video of Sydney Sweeney and wrote masturbate.

[Mark Normand]

Here's a new Internet show idea. The drunk heckle guy film that. Then find that guy two days later and have an interview with him and go, what were you thinking? Let me show you what you were like in a blackout ruining.

[Sam Morril]

You know what? It's. They're just. They're either going to be a dick or they're just not going to be interested.

[Adam Ray]

It's like When Tosh did those web Web redemptions, right? Oh, yeah, people would do something up. But, yeah, those guys, most of the time when people.

[Sam Morril]

There's not a lot there.

[Adam Ray]

They always. And then they usually end up. If they sober up, they're not like, man, it's either sorry or they double down and it's like, dude, I was just laughing. Yeah, kicked me out.

[Mark Normand]

You should be able to handle it. You're a comedian. Professional comedian, dude. You should be able to handle me throwing a beer at you.

[Sam Morril]

I had a weird one in dc, too. It was just like. He was just like. He was just weird. He just kept, like, heckling, and I was like, oh, what's it? And he would just lie about everything. I'm like, all right.

[Adam Ray]

I had a guy throw a wine glass at me. I was doing a brewery show, maybe three years in the stand.

[Sam Morril]

That's not a drink. That should make you belligerent.

[Adam Ray]

Totally.

[Sam Morril]

You're throwing shit from wine.

[Adam Ray]

It was in Paso Robles, and it was.

[Mark Normand]

Is that California?

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, like wine country. Like, maybe probably two, three hours, like, northeast of la. And. And a buddy of mine had worked up there. She was like, I want to produce a show up there, upstairs. This brewery. I'm about three years in. So most of my material is about working at Universal Studios at the time, doing Wolverine and all that. And so I'm talking about that and how. How, like, you know, I don't. Some of the jokes about how I didn't know about Marvel Comics, so kids would be like, you know, you know, Wolverine, what's your favorite food? And I was like, potato salad off, you know, and. And just dumb. And then. And then there was a woman in the corner by herself. And I'm kind of, like, looking down, thinking of, like, what I'm going to do next. And she goes, give. She's like, you give me a kiss. And I was like, oh, should I give her a kiss? So I walk over and she just licks the side of my face. And I just go like, all right, what are the three Most, like, aggressive STDs I can say she just gave me. So I'm like, oh, she just gave me gingivitis, herpes, and aids, you know? And everyone was like, yeah, dude, this guy's killing it. We're in a brewery. We don't know comedy. We don't get it. So this guy must be great. And then. And then a few minutes later, I'm looking down, and I see in my peripheral vision her holding up her wine glass. Cuz Everyone was laughing at me, making fun of her, and I didn't have enough time to like clock, like as I just see this and as I'm like in my head looking down, I'm like, she's picking up her wine glass and before I can like totally turn to look, I just see that.

[Sam Morril]

Whoa.

[Adam Ray]

And so I swear to God, dude, I just like, I kind of put my hands up like that to go like, no. And the base of the wine glass, I swear to God, hits my palm. And it's just sweaty enough from being hot up there to where like, like the. It. It almost suction stuck for like hit my palm in the perfect way. And again probably 10, 15ft away to where it kind of like inside the. The inside of my fingers, whatever, it stuck just enough for me to wrap my hand around it. So I palm the wine glass out of midair. And then when I did it, I turn, I look at it and then I just went.

[Sam Morril]

And everybody goes.

[Adam Ray]

And then I walked over, set it on a table, and I go, I told you I'm Wolverine. Don't with me. And bro, after that I get. And I get off after that I probably had 10 more minutes, but I was like, good night, passer mobles. I get off stage immediately. Dude, dude, shots, shots. I'm now I'm like a local hero and like, I'm getting shots and I haven't really yet, like drank on the road. So this is my first table of like, you know, having a good set. And then, you know, it's usually open mic. So I'm like, man, like, I did, you know, 15 minutes and like ended on that. And then I went down. This. This one couple was like, dude, you want to smoke weed? I was like, hell yeah. I go down, I'm in the back of their little like two door sub or something and I'm in the back. They get in a big fight. So I'm trying to like squeeze out, but there was no extra door for me to. So they were fighting. I'm in the back, just high and drunk. And he was like, you. This is why we. I hit you. I mean, he was just saying crazy.

[Sam Morril]

He pulls the gun at you, like, let me try to catch this bullet.

[Adam Ray]

I'm trying to get out. And I end up getting out and I go back to the. I think we're at a Hilton Garden Inn. And I was so up and I grabbed like a couple Stouffer's lasagnas from the hotel snack lounge and I go upstairs and I was rooming with the other comic, Will Clifton was his name and he was in the military and super funny dude. And we're sharing a room and he was still out. And I am so up that I like get into the shower fully clothed because I was just like, it was a bad night where I was like, I need to just, just like maybe just get wet. But I didn't have the energy to take my clothes off. So I get in the shower and I'm leaning up against the shower like this, eyes closed. I wake up with my legs getting undercut from the tub, hitting my head on the ground. Fell asleep standing up in the shower. Will at this point is in the room and he's got this deep Kansas City accent. He goes, he goes, oh brother, what's going on in there, man? And I go, and again, shame, like I said from earlier of just like the guy catching me dancing in my pocket patio. Instead of being like, I'm up, come in and help me. I was like, I'm just shaving, man. And he goes, he goes, he goes, brother, there's water coming underneath the door. And I'm like, yeah, I'm just shaving, man. Mind your business. He's like, all right, man. I get back in the shower, leaning, leaning up against the shower like I lost a big game. Fall asleep again, fall out of the shower. I mean, dude, that probably could have been the enemy, dude.

[Sam Morril]

That's how William Holden died. The actor from Sunset Boulevard.

[Adam Ray]

Hitting his head on the, he was.

[Sam Morril]

A 60 year old old drunk and he just slipped on a rug, hit his head and bled out. Oh, that's how they, by the way, huge wreck Billy Wilder, Cameron Crow book. That's what, that's where I found that out. But incredible book.

[Mark Normand]

Wow.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, dude. So that I, I fall out and.

[Sam Morril]

Then I Dangerous as.

[Adam Ray]

And then I get up and then I, I, I, yeah, open the door, sopping wet. Just fall asleep. No. Then I tried to open one of the stovers. Microwave wouldn't work, so I just threw it against the window. So smacked. Cracked the window. So the window is cracked. And then I go down the lobby the next morning and I'm checking out. I'm like, hey, thanks a lot guys. And then I go, I go by, by the way, shower is great, you know, whatever. Just trying to make a comment. And then the guy was, Whoa, Mr. Ray, right? He goes, yeah. He goes, need you to go ahead and pay for the Stouffers that you stole last night from the hotel snack lounge. I was like, oh, really? He's like, yeah, yeah, he's like, I don't know if you want to see the security footage of you walking and up, just grabbing like nine lasagnas and going to your room. And then he goes. And then he goes, yeah, totally. And then he goes. And the window, you're gonna have to put a little deposit for. He's like, you threw your casserole at the window.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, my Lord. So, well, hopefully this story gets longer.

[Sam Morril]

That's crazy.

[Adam Ray]

Long pause. I was trying to fill the dead air.

[Sam Morril]

That crazy woman. This night has so many beefs.

[Mark Normand]

I know. You have the best night of your life. That's what's weird about Kyle. You have this amazing night with the catch in the bottle, the drinking, and all you want to do is black out.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

That weird. Remembering it and enjoying it.

[Sam Morril]

Were you riding the wave? The adrenaline? Like, there's nowhere for that to go. So you're like, I'll just keep rocking.

[Mark Normand]

You're right.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

That was my point with the. I know it was a long story. I'm sorry, but people probably tuned out as soon as I said, that's a great. Hey, guys. Happy to be here. But. No, but just my point was, like, getting riding that high of, like, people. The. The adrenaline of people being like, you're the man. So then you're just like, dude, whatever you want me to do, I'll do it now. You know, you want me to steal lasagna from the Hilton garden.

[Mark Normand]

Well, as much as we about content, you got to have clips and filming. Imagine if that was on tape. You'd be fluffy.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, catching the. Yeah, I did.

[Mark Normand]

You'd be the biggest comic in the world.

[Sam Morril]

That's some superhero.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah. Wild dude.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, that is badass.

[Adam Ray]

But you know what? So funny. And then the ying and yang of it all is in, like, you know, that was on a Saturday. And then Monday, I'm back wearing the claws, talking to some kid, being like, you know, and he's like, you know, why.

[Mark Normand]

Why.

[Adam Ray]

Why you have to wear fake abs?

[Mark Normand]

You know, it's funny that your. Your superhero identity is the boring one. The real you is.

[Sam Morril]

What was her reaction when you called? Thought that.

[Adam Ray]

I mean, she was.

[Mark Normand]

She must have blown you out.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, she was just blackout.

[Sam Morril]

There's probably a picture Dangerous in the Wolverine. Have you heard a bottle thrown at you on stage?

[Mark Normand]

I've had a beer mug like a pint, but never that comic.

[Sam Morril]

Ariel.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Remember that was. Yeah, I thought that was cool.

[Adam Ray]

As Kimmel put her on, like, shortly after that.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, they threw a beer at her and she picked it up and drank it. I was like, oh, that was pretty badass.

[Mark Normand]

Very cool. That went crazy.

[Adam Ray]

Such a crazy thing to even still be in a time where. And I guess with the amount of wild that happens on a daily basis, nothing should surprise anyone, but. But like to be in a crowd and to throw.

[Mark Normand]

I remember.

[Adam Ray]

I remember when I first started getting into Stab and like the idea of like, they'll throw a tomato at you or something, but like to actually throw something from the crowd glass to the.

[Mark Normand]

Person who's trying to entertain you. Show you paid for.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Psycho.

[Sam Morril]

But if you go to heckler, who's at it responses and their shit face. And that's all they got left. Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Damn. Will Smith, we're talking about you.

[Guest or Producer]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

He's got a new show going out called like North Pole Pole or Plugged My Butt.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, Pol a Pole. Gayest title of all time.

[Sam Morril]

Plug My Butt is his wife show. I can't tell if that was me or him. I got blended together.

[Mark Normand]

Look, he's got jizz in his mouth. He's just one guy getting old.

[Sam Morril]

Dude, look at Will Smith.

[Adam Ray]

I'm not a fan. I don't like seeing that.

[Sam Morril]

It's crazy.

[Mark Normand]

It happens.

[Sam Morril]

You know Will Smith?

[Adam Ray]

No.

[Mark Normand]

Seems like I.

[Adam Ray]

No, I. I mean, I guess Neil Brennan knows him well. That's probably my closest really connect.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Neo was at the store after the Oscar thing and Neil was like telling stories about talking to him. I think he. Yeah, exactly what he said. But he was just. Yeah, he was kind of. Will was kind of reaching out to Neil being like, did you see it? And like, what do you think? Type thing. And Neil was like, very bad. Like you oops should be. Are you not hearing from anyone?

[Sam Morril]

It's not good.

[Mark Normand]

And he loves Chris Rock too. They're friends.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, dude. Yeah, totally. And it's also. I mean, it's. It does suck that like I remember pre Oscar slap too. He was like getting into YouTube a lot.

[Mark Normand]

I know.

[Adam Ray]

And he did a really cool thing and he was having Alfonso Ribeiro, like do a lot of things with him to where I was like, just as a fan, you're like, hell yeah, they should be trying to jam on some content. And he did a thing where he bungee jumped into the Grand Canyons. Did you ever see that?

[Mark Normand]

No.

[Adam Ray]

And it was a whole live stream thing. And it was a big. And it was. But it. But Will Smith was just so fun and cool. To where I was like, this isn't him doing climbing the skyscraper. What that guy's doing on Netflix. But it's.

[Mark Normand]

That's amaz. Well, that's. Alfonso Rivera is one of the most talented guys ever. So likable. Dancing, singing. He's a phenom, that kid.

[Adam Ray]

So he, like. He was. And just the fact that he was. Yeah. I mean, this was his whole family here. And then. So now I just see a preview for pole to pole, and my head immediately goes to the Oscars and I just kind of go like. Like, yeah, you know?

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Poor guy. Well, he up.

[Adam Ray]

Isn't that crazy? Didn't want, like, what do you. I remember watching, and I know you probably talked about this.

[Mark Normand]

I was watching it live.

[Adam Ray]

You were watching it live?

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, with the wife. And we were like, what, you thought.

[Adam Ray]

It was a joke?

[Sam Morril]

Glitched.

[Mark Normand]

Remember? They, like, tried to edit it and. But Twitter picked it up.

[Adam Ray]

Well, you know what's so funny? I was on speakerphone, my wife and I was getting ready to go meet them, and. And I'm watching, and she goes. I go, wait. I go, can you just be quiet for one second? Chris Rock's on. And this is the only part I really care about the show because it's. Here's a comedian probably about to make jokes.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

And. And so Mon. Speakerphone with her and listening. And then it happened. And then I was like, huh, that's a weird bit. And then I was like, I think Will Smith just hit Chris Rocker. She goes, what? And I go, go online. So, like, I don't see anything. And then when it cut back to him and he was like screaming and like, you what? My, my. Then I was like, oh, this is not a bit. This is probably. And then literally, like 10 seconds later, she's like, oh, yeah, this is everywhere. Yeah, the speed of that, too. Isn't that crazy, dude?

[Mark Normand]

Like, crazy. And Schumer was hosting, and she went on after. Did I miss something? It was like some. She had some line kill. Oh, yeah, that's funny, man.

[Guest or Producer]

Form is immaculate.

[Mark Normand]

It's a perfect slap.

[Guest or Producer]

The form slap and the follow through.

[Mark Normand]

It was like royalty, you know, I.

[Adam Ray]

Wonder if you know how the way that, you know, we. Whether it's on a. A podcast or a show, you second guess. You're like, oh, I wish I had said this. Like, do you think Chris Rock. Chris Rock definitely did that.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah. Well, he know he got his comeuppance when. When Dave Chappelle got tackled at the Hollywood bowl by the trans guy and he goes, was that Will Smith? And the place went nuts.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, that's Right.

[Sam Morril]

And he had a bunch of great jokes about it.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, sure.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

When he said he wanted to watch that, that slavery movie with, with Will Smith again, just to see his ass get whipped.

[Mark Normand]

That was hilarious.

[Sam Morril]

That was a great joke.

[Mark Normand]

That's fun. Poor guy.

[Adam Ray]

I know.

[Mark Normand]

Come on.

[Adam Ray]

Gave us so much to be happy about.

[Mark Normand]

What a bomber his tickets were. You know, it's like $100 ticket to see Chris Rock, but after that there was like $500 rock.

[Adam Ray]

It's also like, think about the things you have to do to like to go out of your way to your image up. Like Robert, Robert Downey Jr. Only harmed himself. And so the comeback, I think was warranted. Right, because he wasn't like doing pedophilia. He was just, he just himself up and like.

[Sam Morril]

Right.

[Adam Ray]

And then so people were like rooting.

[Sam Morril]

For him to come back.

[Adam Ray]

But like, it's like Will Smith, like maybe, maybe he would have had an Alec Baldwin screaming at your daughter. Voicemail. Or a Hasselhoff burger on the floor.

[Mark Normand]

Like, shoot a lady in the face. Don't forget. Forget about that, bro. He's a nice.

[Adam Ray]

Another crazy story. Wow, that woman. So the apartment complex. I was telling you that with the pool and the thing. There's a girl who lived in my apartment who worked at the Comedy Store for a little bit and after that happened, she goes, she goes, it's so crazy about that shooting, right? I go, yeah, it's wild. She goes, yeah, she, she. We would see her every day. And I go, what?

[Mark Normand]

She was.

[Adam Ray]

We would see her every day. I forget her name unfortunately, but.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, the Rust lady. Yes. Oh, wow.

[Adam Ray]

So her. And then I go, wait, the woman. And blah, blah. And I'm putting. I go with the little kid and the husband. They were in the pool like every day. So then I go, I saw them for five years every day, tons of like, hope you don't get shot by Al, you know, Like, I, no, I wouldn't do that. That's so up. But I, I would see her a lot. And, And I was like, no way.

[Mark Normand]

Like, why?

[Adam Ray]

They were like the sweetest. Like they had a little kid and like always in the pool and like.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, Epstein jogging all around Manhattan. I'd be like, he's a, he's a nice man.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, he's working out.

[Sam Morril]

That's not true.

[Adam Ray]

There's so much.

[Sam Morril]

I think someone's got some stores like.

[Adam Ray]

That dude, I once was at a Burger King and they just run out of Whoppers. And Epstein had two and he gave me one there's any of those going around?

[Mark Normand]

I saw Cosby at Sleepy's. He was trying.

[Sam Morril]

If it was a 12 year old at Burger King, he might have given her a Whopper.

[Mark Normand]

You want to see my crown? All right.

[Adam Ray]

Burger King came in hot with the crowns for a bit. McDonald's didn't have an answer.

[Sam Morril]

No, true.

[Adam Ray]

We can move on from this.

[Mark Normand]

All right.

[Sam Morril]

I love it. Like man, we got three good improvisers here. What are they do going to to talk about that Burger King crown. We got to tackle that real quick.

[Adam Ray]

What have you guys not hit on the pod?

[Mark Normand]

We hit it all, baby.

[Sam Morril]

I did love that crown.

[Mark Normand]

Wants a direct.

[Guest or Producer]

How about some peeves?

[Mark Normand]

Hey, I'll do a pee.

[Sam Morril]

I got a few. I got some peeves. Oh, you. You start us off then.

[Adam Ray]

Ooh, pet peeve, man. Well, this isn't. This is probably one that's pretty common and shared amongst most travelers. But hey man, getting off the plane, if you're rows behind you wait your turn. You don't crush.

[Sam Morril]

I literally just told a story about Veer with this.

[Mark Normand]

Wait, wait story.

[Adam Ray]

The people you're getting.

[Sam Morril]

You get out by road.

[Adam Ray]

Say you're on row seven, someone's in row nine.

[Mark Normand]

That's horrible.

[Sam Morril]

Unless there's a connect flight that they're going to miss. Then I. You give them the.

[Adam Ray]

But now the green light. Real sus. And I was on a flight recently and a guy and a gal said they had to make a connection and they rushed off and I see him getting coffee right when I get off the plane and I walked by and I go, good luck making your car connection.

[Mark Normand]

Good for you. And the guy.

[Adam Ray]

And the guy turns around like this and I just going. I was like I gotta do something like citizens arrest. What am I gonna go up and go hey man, that was up. But like you know, you pulled a fast one because you didn't think anyone was gonna call you out for it.

[Sam Morril]

It's also like you did it for airport coffee.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

That's your end game.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

You.

[Mark Normand]

I have to stick my leg out in the aisle now cuz people are trying to come up quick and you gotta, you gotta stop them.

[Sam Morril]

Tripped an old lady.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Also pet peeve. People that don't say thank you when you hold the door for them.

[Mark Normand]

That's a big one.

[Adam Ray]

That's a small one. But to me it's like there's two.

[Sam Morril]

Types of people, manners.

[Adam Ray]

People that say thanks and people that don't. Because then, then it's just like unless even if you're on the phone. Give me a. Hey, you know, give me something. Or, you know, give me the Kramer. And. Well, not the Kramer.

[Sam Morril]

Give me one.

[Adam Ray]

Give me the. Thank you. Yeah. Point at me and. But it says a lot about you. If you just like, think you were, I don't know, deserving of the door hold or whatever, but just like, it's a small. It's also a quick way. Way to just show your gratitude to another human being.

[Mark Normand]

It's easy. It's free.

[Adam Ray]

Kindness is free, dude. Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Here, here.

[Guest or Producer]

Where you at with letting ladies out of the elevator first?

[Adam Ray]

They're going to say vote, I think.

[Sam Morril]

Drive out of the elevator first.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. I do that too.

[Guest or Producer]

And people kind of like, hm, give me, like, side eye for it now.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Ordering first at restaurants. I'm big on that too.

[Sam Morril]

Want to show off what a chivalrous guy he was. I just. It's the type of. Of guy I am. I let him off. Oh, my God. I just let him. What's ordering first? I don't know that.

[Adam Ray]

Letting the gals order first, ladies first.

[Sam Morril]

I order for a woman. That's. What a gentleman.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, there we go.

[Sam Morril]

I say, you'll have nothing.

[Adam Ray]

She'll have the ice cube.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

How about here's a peeve. Ooh, this one got me the hotel check in call. I'm my do not disturbs up. I'm trying to nap. I get the call. How you doing? Oh, what are we, old friends?

[Mark Normand]

Oh, yeah, the W does that. Hello. Hello.

[Sam Morril]

How's it? We just want to make sure everything's good for you. No, I'm trying to fucking sleep.

[Adam Ray]

How about just assume it's fine and if I call to complain.

[Sam Morril]

Exactly. I'm a Jew. You'll hear from me. Yeah, something's red.

[Mark Normand]

I will say I stayed in Miami at a hotel recently, and they would say, if you need anything, just text us. And, you know, you get these random texts like, whatever. And then you go, you know what? I need a towel. I need a coffee maker. And they would bring it right up. So the text wasn't bad, but it's not disturbing.

[Sam Morril]

Okay, but dude, the landline. Because, like, when's the last time any of us had a fucking landline? That hotel's the only time you have a landline.

[Mark Normand]

That's true. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

What do you guys ask for? Like, mini fridge? Is there something crazy that you've asked for? You call?

[Mark Normand]

No, I just say, can you clean the room? It's crazy in here.

[Sam Morril]

I don't want to be Disturbed. I want to just chill.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, well, I just leave. I get coffee, and I go, can you clean the room? And they do it.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, here's another peeve. It's a minor one. It's not that big a deal. But the hotels where it takes two elevators to get out. Oh, I got to go to three for the fucking front desk. They got to take another one to get out there. The fucking escape room. So you got to start seeing.

[Adam Ray]

You got to start staying at La Quinta ends, man. It's just one floor.

[Sam Morril]

Do, like, a lot of. I like the name.

[Mark Normand]

I'm a stairs guy. I do the stairs in a hotel.

[Sam Morril]

Love is. Who are you? Swartzen. Swartz won't take elevators if you're on the third floor. This one, the 16th floor. Swartzen walked. He took the stairs.

[Mark Normand]

Scared of elevator.

[Sam Morril]

You won't take elevator.

[Mark Normand]

Claustrophobic. Yeah. It's hurt his career. All right, I got a pee for you. The guy who suggests something in the moment and waits for you to do it. Like, he's like the aggressive suggestion jester. So I'm eating tortilla soup with a couple of people, and one guy goes, oh, dude, you know what's great with tortilla soup? You got to put the sour cream, like, a dollop on the top. And I'm like, oh, okay. You know, I'm not a sour cream guy, but. And he's like, dude, it's so good. And I'm like, I like the soup. I'm good with the soup. And he's like, yeah, sour. Let's get some sour cream in here. And he gets, like, a cup of sour cream, and he's like, okay. And I'm like, what are we doing here? I don't want the sour cream. I'll try to be nice to, like, oh, yeah, one day I'll try that. But he made me try it, so I had to go, he didn't make.

[Sam Morril]

You caved.

[Mark Normand]

I caved. I caved.

[Sam Morril]

But he was this pushy guy.

[Mark Normand]

He was getting awkward.

[Sam Morril]

I was like, that is annoying.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

And people just eat how I want to eat.

[Mark Normand]

I know. You got to try it like this. All right, yeah, maybe I will. Then he's like, no, no, no. You got to do it. And then he's waiting for me to be like, right, right. God, I hated this guy.

[Adam Ray]

How about TSA going through your bag? Do you ever bring food on the plane or no? You guys, food? Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

What do you bring?

[Adam Ray]

Food.

[Sam Morril]

What kind of food do you bring?

[Mark Normand]

Rotisserie Chicken. What are we talking about?

[Adam Ray]

One of those bags from the grocery store.

[Sam Morril]

Everyone saying those are terrible.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, is that right?

[Sam Morril]

With the plastic bag.

[Mark Normand]

Three of those a week.

[Adam Ray]

One time. Every now and then I'll bring a fork. Breakfast burrito if it's super early. Not like a tuna sandwich. I think that's not too crazy, is it?

[Mark Normand]

That's no.

[Sam Morril]

Tuna is aggressive. On a flight.

[Adam Ray]

Tuna's aggressive, but it was burrito and I. And the guy opened my bag and like held it up in the sack and he's like, somebody he's hungry. And I was just like, all right, dude. I didn't know I was going to get fat shamed. Security checkpoint.

[Sam Morril]

Hungry.

[Mark Normand]

I think it's okay to bring a breakfast burrito. I mean, if you look like that still, you know, you can't bring on a plane lips.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, the TSA just like. Let me walk you to your gate. I'm sorry about that.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's a question.

[Adam Ray]

Sure.

[Mark Normand]

You're a chosen one.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

A he. A Jew. Hy me? Whatever. Maybe the most hidden hidden of the comedian. Comedian Jews.

[Sam Morril]

Well, Ray is not as a funny name.

[Adam Ray]

Wait, who?

[Sam Morril]

She was funny.

[Adam Ray]

She was good.

[Mark Normand]

We go.

[Sam Morril]

Hey, hey.

[Mark Normand]

Ding, ding, ding. We got one here.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

You know other people. Hey, Seinfeld, whatever. Obvious.

[Sam Morril]

David, by the way, the worst game show the Holocaust. Ding, ding, ding. They got me.

[Mark Normand]

They got you win a train ride, man. But new kind of. You're from Seattle. Last name Ray. You're big sports guy. You drink heavily. You. You hide it well.

[Sam Morril]

By the way, I'm all these things too. Except Seattle. Yeah, yeah.

[Adam Ray]

I don't know. Well, Ray's not.

[Mark Normand]

And your hair is straight. Yeah, yeah. You're pretty. You're pretty well hidden.

[Adam Ray]

I raise not. That's my dad's last name and he's not a Jew.

[Sam Morril]

You could have Kaiser associated your way out of a concentration camp. Totally.

[Mark Normand]

Who I think Josh Wolf is up there as a hidden Jew.

[Adam Ray]

Wow.

[Sam Morril]

He is a usually a Jewish.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, is that right?

[Sam Morril]

Not always, but I mean Michelle Wolf's not.

[Mark Normand]

But right, right. But he's got a trucker hat on and like a. You know, a country band shirt. So he.

[Adam Ray]

I think I. I should probably be trying to use it more to my advantage.

[Mark Normand]

No, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying you have to point.

[Adam Ray]

Like that when you. Jesus Christ.

[Mark Normand]

Who else is a hidden Jew?

[Sam Morril]

I love Mark being like you haven't used it enough.

[Mark Normand]

Paul Rudd. Great one. Great one.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah. Let's go.

[Mark Normand]

Californacis. Called him out.

[Sam Morril]

No, I mean, it was a joke.

[Mark Normand]

As a joke. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't call the police. The Gestapo. Yeah. Just saying.

[Adam Ray]

Have you guys been to a bar mitzvah ever? Did you go to one growing up? You had one. That's right.

[Mark Normand]

I've never been.

[Sam Morril]

I just went to my nieces a few weeks ago.

[Adam Ray]

It was fun, right?

[Sam Morril]

It was a party. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

They are not a lot of chicks, though.

[Sam Morril]

No, they're all very young.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

The.

[Adam Ray]

I remember going to the first one. The one I had was fine. Like, I remember my. You know, I just. My mom was like, you can't invite. Yeah, that was the kid.

[Mark Normand]

I mean, that kid's Asian. You look Filipino.

[Adam Ray]

I know.

[Sam Morril]

Isn't that crazy?

[Adam Ray]

There was a girl named Jamie. I'm gonna say her full name. Jamie Davidson. And she wore. She pressured me into inviting her. My mom was like, you can't invite everyone in the sixth grade class. We had three sixth grade classes. And so I, you know, invited the people. There were two girls that made fun of me for being fat all the time. And it turned into, like, this end of the year party. It was like a big thing. It was Adams Bar mitzvah in the sixth grade because there's nothing going on. And it was like, right. A week before school got out, and everybody kind of wanted to. We didn't have parties, so it was like, oh, party. And Barbie. It was like, we're going to this.

[Sam Morril]

Blowing lines off latkes.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, the rabbi's gonna cut everyone's dick for free.

[Mark Normand]

And.

[Adam Ray]

And so. So these two girls got in front of me and were like, why aren't we going to your parents?

[Mark Normand]

I was like.

[Adam Ray]

I was like, you guys make fun of me for being fat.

[Mark Normand]

Good.

[Adam Ray]

And they were just like. We were joking. I was like, well, I'm not about you coming. And they didn't go. And then Jamie Davidson, though, cornered me and was like, where's my invite? And I go, oh, it must have gotten lost. And she was so sweet, and I think on the spectrum and. And I said, you know, for sure. She showed up in a. This is a sixth grade 95. Everyone's wearing, like. The guys are in these cheap men's warehouse suits or teemu or whatever, and.

[Mark Normand]

Wear a suit to that two bar.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, damn, you should.

[Adam Ray]

Or at least a sport coat. And the girls were all, like, in, like, you know, just like, hometown buffet dresses from the gift shop. And. And then Jamie Davidson shows up in a fucking Jessica Rabbit fucking, like, silky. And my Aunt Shirley, RIP. Shirley Was a gangster. She, she goes, who invited the. Whoa. And I remember like sixth grade and she was out there dancing by herself a lot, ripping it up and like a little like she was putting on a show and like some of the dads probably were. Yeah, we had a caricature artist, but that was about the extent of the activities. And then I went to a, a bat mitzvah for a kid I met from a different temple in an area of Seattle where there was a lot more money. And dude, I mean they go, it was wild, dude.

[Mark Normand]

I mean like, like it's like a sweet sixteen.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, it was like remember MTV Sweet sixteen when you see these like rich person kids.

[Sam Morril]

Ushers after that.

[Mark Normand]

What? Yeah, yeah, that was a great show.

[Adam Ray]

Wait, what did you say?

[Mark Normand]

No, nothing.

[Sam Morril]

Made a joke. Well dude, plug some dates. Where you going to be?

[Adam Ray]

So the theater tours off and, and rocking. And this, whenever this comes out. Adam.com for all the tickets. YouTube.com Adam Ray comedy for all the Dr. Phil's and doing, doing a little the Netflix pod stuff is happening. I'm gonna do like a 26 episode, I guess Adam Ray basically be the Adam Ray show. But it's gonna be characters and me doing pods, so I guess that'll be out soon.

[Mark Normand]

And how did you get them to do the Dr. Phil?

[Sam Morril]

Who?

[Adam Ray]

Netflix.

[Mark Normand]

Because they're pretty tight lipped.

[Adam Ray]

Oh yeah, dude. I mean, yeah, I paid them. It was, it was, I mean it happened very fast. It was like two weeks out. We basically. Phil sun hit me up on Instagram and was like, hey, I'm Phil's son. Phil's my dad. And I was like, yeah, I got that from the first thing he said. And then he was like my dad, we should get him on your show. And we went back and forth a bunch. And then I was like, what about. I just kept throwing him dates and I was almost like, we only about 5 more on the calendar for the Comedy Store. I was like, what about September? And we had Fluffy and Jay Farrell and Pat Noswell for that and, and he was like, yeah, I think I can do that. So then we hit up Netflix and it was about two weeks out and we just quickly did the paperwork and got the camera. Cameras. Fluffy bailed out because I think it was just, you know, Netflix. I think he maybe he wanted. Because you just give like whatever the pay is for that. And, and, and he didn't want to do it and but Phil was super cool about it and I mean to improvise the special I guess was wild but like you know, I trusted myself enough to be able to hang with him, and he was a good sport, God bless him. I mean, he gets. He shows up and he's like, yeah, I've watched a lot of this on YouTube. It's pretty funny. He goes, now, it's your show, but I'm gonna. With you. And I go, well, I know you better than you know yourself. And. And. And, you know, he was. Yeah, he was just silly dude. I mean, I. And so I've never even seen, like, a full. I've probably seen five minutes of an actual fill episode, so. But everyone. I think what. Everybody, you know, overall, probably, like, connected with it is like, he's enough of a guy where you go, all right, I've seen him, like, he gives advice. He's a little abrasive. You know, he's got sound bites where it's like, you know, you're kind of a.

[Mark Normand]

You're.

[Adam Ray]

You're. I didn't come 90 of the way to get 10 of the information, Sam.

[Mark Normand]

Right.

[Adam Ray]

He's got enough of those. Like, there's two sides to a pancake. But then he's also kind of a twat where it's like, he'll kind of, like, chopping out in front of your family and, like, embarrass you because you need to be humbled. So having that, I think, in the. In the. You know, in the. At the forefront, I think people were, like, you know, receptive to at least me around. But he was a good sport, man.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

They were nuts when he came out, which was like, that's the other thing, too. It's like, what if we get him out? And everyone's just like, we thought it was gonna be fluffy.

[Sam Morril]

What if he just phoned it in? You're like, yeah, I'm relying on him bringing the heat.

[Adam Ray]

If this was his way of being like, I'm going to shut it down. He's going to come out.

[Sam Morril]

You think you're funny, dude?

[Guest or Producer]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Hey, Adam, stop. You know, we won't be rubb.

[Sam Morril]

You know, that would have been great, too.

[Mark Normand]

Well, we like to see celebrities be able to take a joke.

[Adam Ray]

You know, that's the thing, too, is, like, who was I talking to? It might have been Santino early on, he was like, yeah, dude, enjoy it. Like, I can't see this guy having a good sense of humor about it. And. And then, you know, thank God, because you don't. Yeah. You don't know.

[Mark Normand]

Like.

[Adam Ray]

Like, there's. It's also. He's not. This is A new thing. It's not like he's been paired. He's been parody on I think like on snl. MAD tv, but. But not, you know, in a way like this.

[Mark Normand]

You're hawking the book. You got the book on this. Oh, bro. And it's there especially.

[Adam Ray]

I would always go to. You know, it's like a running bit if somebody would say something like, you know, I think we did it on your episode too. It was in Chicago when or no. The first time you did the LA one with pimple popper and Bert.

[Mark Normand]

Yes.

[Adam Ray]

Where you thought the pimple pop was real and you walked off stage.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. It was so gross.

[Adam Ray]

That was incredible, man.

[Mark Normand]

That was amazing.

[Adam Ray]

She was back there taking shots with everybody.

[Mark Normand]

She was super going pretty hot on man.

[Adam Ray]

Slam it. You know Pimple popper.

[Mark Normand]

I know. Pull her up. She was find that clip actually scrubs.

[Adam Ray]

It was. It was pimple popper on Phil, but it was Sandy.

[Sam Morril]

Pause this for one sec. I'm going to piss.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, go, go, go.

[Sam Morril]

Pause. Sorry.

[Adam Ray]

Oh, sorry. You guys are trying to wrap up.

Oh, I'm dying.

[Guest or Producer]

Oh, you should add that to your impression.

[Sam Morril]

The I'm dying.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, these pause real quick. I got a piss real quick.

[Mark Normand]

You make them full New York. Like.

[Adam Ray]

Well, here's the thing. It's like when someone's regular. His regular voice is just. You know, we went to the Knicks game and well, Veta Vita said, you know, I can. There's a way just to talk like down the link. But. But it's more fun to put like a little more character.

[Sam Morril]

Like.

[Mark Normand]

Sure, of course.

[Adam Ray]

We at the Knicks game, we. A little bit of Rodney in there too, right?

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, there it is.

[Guest or Producer]

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, no, that was it.

[Mark Normand]

[Adam Ray]

Sandy Danto.

[Mark Normand]

Sandy Dante Danto.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Mark.

[Adam Ray]

He would pro.

[Mark Normand]

We were drinking hard. I mean this. I was hung over. This was a crazy weekend, bro.

[Adam Ray]

That fest. This was like I think towards the end or the middle of the fest.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. Two years ago.

[Adam Ray]

Look at your face. Yeah, look, you put the mic down. You were like it. I'm out.

[Mark Normand]

There's Bert.

[Adam Ray]

Mark walked off. Dude.

[Mark Normand]

I couldn't handle it, cuz the goo is what got me that pus.

[Adam Ray]

And he didn't see this.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, come on.

[Adam Ray]

It was macaroni.

[Mark Normand]

Macaroni was the goo. Cheese.

[Adam Ray]

Yeast. I don't know. Yeah, it was something.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Celebrate it. Yeah, dude.

[Mark Normand]

Boy, the real field can't kick like that.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, dude. Yeah, he was slow moving when he came out, too. I think he's 70, 74.

[Guest or Producer]

Really.

[Mark Normand]

Whoa.

[Guest or Producer]

Does that Dr. Pimple Popper should take that from the Seinfeld reference.

[Mark Normand]

Is that. Oh, good question. That's inside episode, probably. Good question.

[Adam Ray]

You guys are gonna come out for the Netflix Fest, right?

[Mark Normand]

And, hell yeah, we're all going. We're gonna do some pods out there, try to get some real. Hell.

[Adam Ray]

Wow. Yeah. Good call. Yeah, there's. Because there'll be people out there that I guess. I mean, that's the crapshoot of doing the pod, right? It's like trying to book and scheduling or whatever. But if you're out there for. Hopefully you guys stay for a few weeks.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, a few weeks.

[Sam Morril]

Few days.

[Mark Normand]

What are you crazy?

[Adam Ray]

I'll try to get less Letterman. Check it. Letterman. Jim Carrey or something like that.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, Letterman would be amazing. Yeah. Paula Dean. Who knows?

[Adam Ray]

I. Jim Carrey is like. I mean, when people always say, like, who did you want to fill? I mean, Conan and I tried so hard to get his assistant son I went to college with, so he would love that.

[Mark Normand]

That's so.

[Adam Ray]

It's just the timing. It was just every time I hit her with a date, it was like, he's got his own show or function or something. But like, yeah, dude. The ultimate. Or. But Jim Carrey too. Or Sandler.

[Mark Normand]

Oh.

[Adam Ray]

Or Jamie Fox or, like, you know, just guys that are, like, great list bit guys, you know? What about you guys? Dream guest for the pod, and then I'll go.

[Adam Ray]

He didn't do Theo's, did he? I don't know who.

[Mark Normand]

[Sam Morril]

I think we scare a lot of people away with the title where they're like, I'm sorry. Sober. It's like, I don't want to drink on here.

[Mark Normand]

I don't.

[Adam Ray]

If you saw the documentary.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, I'm not winning really anymore.

[Adam Ray]

That dog was wild, though.

[Mark Normand]

Wild. It.

[Sam Morril]

It was weird.

[Adam Ray]

You don't like it?

[Sam Morril]

It was entertaining, but I'm like. Part of me was like, I feel like it went, like, a little soft on him.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, that's. That's the new way now.

[Adam Ray]

You wanted them to go harder on his. What? On, like.

[Mark Normand]

Like, they had the Eddie Murphy doc. They didn't bring up the trans hooker.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, I feel like the docs. Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

They're just.

[Sam Morril]

They're clearly produced by the people.

[Adam Ray]

Right? All right, so the questions aren't as hard hitting.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah, I thought, what's Denise Richards? Saved it or stole?

[Sam Morril]

She's a fucking. She's a. She's a cool lady. Like her.

[Mark Normand]

And you post a ton, by the way, your clip. The heckle stuff.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

I mean, it's so funny, like the. The, you know, topical bit. So maybe put up like I put, like. There was a moment when Caroline Levitt, you know, was saying. It was like I said, the height of the Epstein files too. So I was like, oh, if something pops up to, like, riff on, maybe put it out there or even just do so. One thing I learned from Gerardo, too, when I hosted for him once improv. Favorite comic of all time.

[Sam Morril]

He's one of the best.

[Adam Ray]

And. And he was just so. I just was such a. I was always trying to get people on his standup train because everybody was just like, oh, great roast guy. And I was like, he's brilliant.

[Mark Normand]

Yeah. And.

[Sam Morril]

But anyway, able to kind of just hit the right angle. He never got, like, pander.

[Adam Ray]

Preachy.

[Sam Morril]

It was Joke. Yeah, Good joke.

[Adam Ray]

And he. But he told me. He was like. I was like, do you got any, like, writing tips? He's like talking about how, like, he'd read the paper a lot and try to write topical stuff.

[Sam Morril]

Cuz.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, it might have a shelf life, but it got him to form an opinion and a point of view quicker because he was like, oh, I'd read a new story and then go, oh, what do I think about this? You know, like, he had that. That one joke that it was kind of evergreen where he'd do the. You know, he's like, there's a new story. A guy fell off a cruise ship. A guy or a guy jumped off a cruise ship. He'd been struck by lightning 17 times. Then got married, got in a fight with his wife and jumped off the cruise ship. He goes, even God himself couldn't kill this man. And he was like, send in the experts. But it was like a joke that he could do all the time, but it was based on something that he really read. And then he put his. And so I definitely tried to apply that for a little bit.

[Sam Morril]

It's an evergreen.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

I mean, he. That's, I think from good day to cross the river, which is one of my favorite.

[Adam Ray]

Unbelievable. Yeah, but, yeah, so. So putting up like crowd clips. So that's the thing that always sucks too.

[Mark Normand]

Too.

[Adam Ray]

When I guess I gotta find a little bit more of a balance between some bits and crowd because I'm just like, I don't want to burn the bit. I'm like, I'll just put the crowd clip up and come. Some people are like, is this all you do? I'm like, no, come to the show to see the.

[Sam Morril]

The hour. Seriously. It's like, no. Not giving it all away for free. Yeah, Come see the show.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, another great Geraldo. Then we'll get out of here. He had that great bit. Another news story. He's like reading the news story and they had a guy, he burned his genitals in the shadow power. He's like. Hell of a way to test the water, huh? Yeah.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah. Or. Or was it. I was on the subway the other day and this guy screams across the tracks, yo, Monica. Yo, Monica. Yo, you got aids, yo.

[Mark Normand]

Wow.

[Adam Ray]

That's how they tell you.

[Sam Morril]

And then the tag that Michael Moore is right. We really do have the worst health.

[Mark Normand]

Care in the world.

[Adam Ray]

I love that you guys know that dude.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, I was at that. I was in the front row of that taping.

[Adam Ray]

No way. Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

We love Geraldo. I remember Mark and I were in the back of comics watching him headline ones, and we were just. We're like, high five. And after the jokes, we're like, young ass comics.

[Adam Ray]

We're like, what would he be doing right now? Podcast.

[Mark Normand]

He'd have the best political stuff.

[Adam Ray]

Right. He'd be going on all the shows and just ripping it. He was selling out theaters and like, phenomenal.

[Sam Morril]

Com.

[Mark Normand]

He'd be on this pod. We wouldn't be able to keep up with him.

[Adam Ray]

I get. And probably because he did so many pilots that I guess didn't work out. But now, because with pods and touring, that could maybe be enough for him. Right?

[Mark Normand]

And he definitely.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, he was a legend. But, you know, I think he would have just. Just kept.

[Mark Normand]

He had a show. Remember that newsy kind of show with Lewis Black or what was that Root.

[Sam Morril]

Of All Evil he was just always on.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, he was always on it. Okay.

[Sam Morril]

Yeah, he was great on that. Well, he was a lawyer and you had to be a lawyer on that show.

[Mark Normand]

You had to debate. Yeah, yeah, he was a beast.

[Guest or Producer]

So we'll leave this on the table.

[Sam Morril]

Here before we go.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Guest or Producer]

Have you been working on your Sam impression?

[Mark Normand]

Oh, good question.

[Adam Ray]

So I was just talking with Mark when you were off. I got a pee real quick. I just get pee. So the laugh I was doing that.

[Sam Morril]

You got a little mo from the Simpsons, I guess.

[Adam Ray]

Well, here's the thing. I was saying, like the regular, your regular voice is, is so deep. So it's like. So initially I always want to take something and like, you know, getting the voice perfect is fine or whatever, but it's like if you can like heighten it a little bit. So that's why my, my, my instinct is always to go a little bit like, Jesus doing you. Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, I, I, Yeah, yeah. I'm a Jew. You want me, you want to see my cuck, you know, at least that's what I, that's what I said. But then, but the laugh. You have the, that much in his life. You do do this. You do do. You do do this.

[Mark Normand]

You know, you do do that.

[Adam Ray]

You go like this, you go, you go. Well, I mean, some, you know, Carrot top has never eaten a carrot. You know, like, like, you do have like the, like. But it was a pretty good. Gary Ve is white, you know. Or, or, you know, Gary Vee does have hpv. But there's, but then the laugh would.

[Mark Normand]

Break it right now.

[Adam Ray]

But the laugh, the laugh I was doing too. Your laugh. I think you're actual.

[Sam Morril]

You do have like that, that's, that's dead.

[Adam Ray]

But it's more, it is a little higher, I think too, when it's a genuine. When like.

[Sam Morril]

Like it's a little.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah, but it's a good laugh too.

[Sam Morril]

Flattered.

[Adam Ray]

It, it only stuck out when I was watching some episode jerking off. It was, it was, you know, that's the thing too, is like, man, you see pods and that's another reason, you know, last compliment. But you guys are always like goofing and making each other laugh and that's, you know, and Mark just going, oh.

[Mark Normand]

Whoa.

[Adam Ray]

You know, you're always chin chimme chew. And then like back.

[Sam Morril]

And then ever since the Rizzler has been doing it.

[Adam Ray]

That, oh man, that was so funny. And when he sat on your lap. Jesus Christ.

[Sam Morril]

Great comedy instinct there. Salaki's getting the studio shut down.

[Adam Ray]

Who suggested that dip over here, dude? Of course he did. Get on his lap for a clip.

[Sam Morril]

Oh, man. I ran a Steve Fabricant outside. Steve from the cell, and he goes, that was a bad idea. Yeah, we know, dude.

[Adam Ray]

Fitzsimmons looked like Billy Bush on Trump's bus. When he said, grab him by the. He was like, okay, I guess you can do that.

[Mark Normand]

You know, David Tell was unfazed. He's like, who the fuck is this?

[Sam Morril]

Oh, man. Last night we were talking about, I.

[Adam Ray]

Want to bring him a basket of bread. What do you say? I want to bring him a.

[Mark Normand]

He goes, another. What's the next mountain to climb? Twizzler.

[Adam Ray]

Yeah.

[Sam Morril]

When he was on your lap doing this, he goes, he's rizzling. He's out, son.

[Mark Normand]

Oh, God. That was a warm buttocks. I'll say that right now.

[Sam Morril]

Don't say that right now. Buy. Buy some bodega, cat. We love you. See Adam on the road. See you next week.

[Mark Normand]

Hell, yeah.

[Sam Morril]

Comedy Sunday's the day for my next bender.

[Mark Normand]

A bit of Pever wreck. You know the fear juice.

[Sam Morril]

Close.

[Mark Normand]

I've had a little too much burping. And Norman's talking about the Pope. And I get down in the same way.

[Sam Morril]

Up on the roof like a.

[Mark Normand]

Cops coming. And naked Samuel is feeling dangerous.

[Sam Morril]

I'm out to lunch here in New Orleans.

[Mark Normand]

This woman doesn't look like I remember her. And I get down in the same way.

[Adam Ray]

We might be true.
