Thank you. Frank Arroyola. Christopher Bath. Thank you so much for joining on. Also, I want to give a big shout out to my sponsor. You've been seeing some of those jacket posts have been putting up on Instagram. That's all from standard and strange.com. And they are running a deal today until midnight. This is insane. Actually, 25% off everything. Just use the code economy. E C O N O M Y economy. And it goes to midnight California time tonight. 25% off. Get the fuck out of here, man. That's that's just incredible. And they're doing that because they know the economy is a little rough and they're giving a little love out to all the Dell razors out there or the Dell ray guns. Somebody posted that up. Yeah, coming out killing with my Dell ray guns. And then don't forget the newer one I came up with the older fans are the Dell raisins. You got the Dell razors who are just out there like fuck you. I'll go see you wherever you're at. I'll fly to fucking Kentucky. Then you got the Dell raisins on the couch that are like dude, you know, I'll catch you next time, man. Next time you come to Akron, Ohio, you Dell razors show mods done Dell raisins. I don't know. I'm fucking out of my mind today. It's fucking dumb April fools. April fools. I don't even know what the fuck the history is over that. And it's just, you know, the annoying day on social media. Now back in the day, you just got like one dumb April fools joke from some somebody at your fucking, you know, job down at the Home Depot. Just walking with a two by four. Leo lost his arm. You fucking run to aisle for April fools. Now it's like all day long on the dumb social medias. Anyway, grumpy Dean is here moving slower today. I don't know why it fucking rained again all weekend in LA. Just insane. Every weekend, just porn rain. I've never seen this much rain in LA. Since I've lived here 22, three years, something like that. Let me get a hit off my fucking ginger tumor. Excuse me. Wow. Hit on my ginger turmeric. Diamond Dave drinking tea in the morning. If I'm lying, I'm dying. There it is. Little turmeric tea. Anyway, good to be alive, good to be alive, good to be awake. The sun is out today and we all survived Easter, right? The Easter bunny. That is fucking lunacy, right? The Easter bunny. If you're single, never been married, no kids. You don't do anything on Easter except enjoy yourself. Maybe watch a little fucking, I don't know, hoops. You guys out there watching hoops, baseball, slow time of the sport, right? Giants got their ass kicked yesterday. San Francisco Giants. No matter how long I live in LA, I'm a Giants fan until the day I die, which shout out to the A's fans that boycotted going into the home opener at the A's Coliseum, which, you know, I thought it was all the fans and I thought that's pretty fucking cool. They're all out in the parking lot, giving the middle finger to the owner. And then they showed the game and there was 13,000 fans in there. And I thought, I don't know, that's about what the A's draw these days. So I don't know. It wasn't really a boycott. Maybe there was a couple hundred people in the parking lot. Maybe they didn't even have tickets, but 13,000 is a lot for an A's game. They've had like attendance, low records last year of like 7,000. You imagine you're in a fucking stadium where Zeppelin played their last shows ever. And there's only 7,000 people in there. That reminds me of when I went to go see Sabbath on the Born Again tour, which is, of course, one of the greatest records Sabbath ever made and fantastic Ian Gillin on vocals. I went to the cowhouse to see him and there was no ticket sold. I told this story before, but if you're a new listener, uh, ticket scalpers are out there. They couldn't get rid of the ticket. So they went in and it was only about, I'd say about 6,000 in there and it holds 14,000. So it was just grimly dead in there and fights were breaking out. Somebody got stabbed, Altamont style. Anyway, the A's, uh, I guess they're moving to Vegas. We will see today is the last day of the Tropicana hotel in Vegas. And that really was, um, where I did some of my first Las Vegas gigs at the Laugh Factory there. And, you know, it was bizarre back then because I was fairly new comedian. I don't know, maybe five years in, I'm headlining out there and my name was on the fucking Vegas strip. You driving down the strip and you just see giant signs of your face. Pretty fucking wild to think about, but, uh, they're going to implode that fucker. I would not mind watching that thing get imploded, except for, uh, the asbestos that's going to be fucking flying out of there. This was the last time I worked at the Vegas Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Laugh Factory at the Tropicana. I remember I went down to the employee lounge and they had it all tarped off and these guys were wearing, wearing, these guys were wearing masks. This is way before COVID. These are early mass settlers. And, uh, they're in there wearing masks and I'm eating. I look at the guy and go, Hey, uh, what are they doing over there? And he goes, asbestos removal. And he just said it like it was totally fucking normal. And I was like, Oh, there's like five years off my life right there because there was like a breeze coming down the hall. The workers were wearing fucking hazmat suits and masks. And here we are just 10 feet away eating our breakfast. And I was like, yeah, I won't be back here. These people don't care about fuck about humans. It was nuts, man. Anyway, Tropicana rest in peace. It was one of the cool ones. I think it was the second casino in Vegas and it, you know, originally it was the biggest had a giant golf course, 18 hole out there where the MGM is now. So it's got a lot of fucking history. They might find some bodies under that fucker. You never know. Little mafia holes in the desert. If you saw a casino. Um, okay. Yeah, I'm feeling better right now. Little hit off that fucking ginger turmeric tea and some April fools fucking rage Ralph rage Ralph's some April fools fucking I don't know what I'm saying, man. Anyway, thanks for tuning in. Last week, Neil Francis was on what a great human great musician. Sad day a couple of days ago. We lost the great Lou Gossett Jr. and, uh, you know, it hit me. He was 87. And he had definitely I watched it again today. The famous clip from officer and a gentleman, tons of clips in that movie. That movie is a masterpiece. Lou Gossett Jr. Richard gear and, uh, Sigourney Weaver. What a name, right? Sigourney Weaver. This movie came out in, I believe 78 and I saw it in the theater and, uh, it blew my fucking mind. It is an incredible film and you dive down a rabbit hole when someone passes away with rest in peace. The great Lou Gossett Jr. He won an Academy Award for this role as the drill instructor at the boot camp. And interesting facts about that film was Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson, man, you know, it's funny. Like I think about Jack Nicholson, man, like all the great films he did. And then there's the films he turned down. And this is one of them. Uh, he turned down the role as the drill instructor and, um, you know, they were scrambling to get somebody. He went down, the director went down to San Diego to a boot camp and he found out that the best drill instructors were African Americans at this particular boot camp. So he said, well, shit, I want to make this as real as I can. And then he got Lou Gossett Jr. Who it is just a fucking stunning role, a stunning performance. Now I knew Lou and not personally, but I knew about him from the 77 kick ass film, The Deep. Also wrote by Peter Benchley, the Jaws King. And it was interesting because now I start thinking about The Deep last night and you know, spoiler alert, Lou Gossett gets his fucking eye bit out by a moray eel in this film with Nick Nolte and, you know, they're out there, tourists that stumble across this morphine, uh, treasure under the ocean, these small bottles of morphine, and then these, uh, these hooligans, these gangsters, uh, want to, you know, take it from them. That's basically kind of the premise of The Deep. So I knew about him from The Deep and I was obsessed with the fucking fish movies after Jaws in 75 and, you know, Peter Benchley. So I went and saw The Deep, then I, I find out about Lou Gossett and then I see this fucking masterpiece and, uh, learn so much about life from this officer in a gentleman film. All kinds of shit. The clothing's amazing. The performances are amazing. The story's incredible. And we all know, if you saw the film, one of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema is these two fuckers fighting in this, uh, kind of, uh, octagon pre-UFC, okay, it's just a square in a big giant airplane hangar and they just go at it fucking karate style. Great. Lou Gossett's a fucking ball buster, man. And he wins the Academy Award, which is fucking well deserved. A lot of stuff about him I didn't know, which is crazy. He went to Woodstock, which is amazing. And I love, I love that, that he went, you know, he was born in Brooklyn and, uh, he said straight up in an interview, yeah, we were all, uh, pushing the boundaries and, uh, wanted, wanted change. And, uh, we went out there and we found it, which is cool. But something I didn't know about him, a couple things. He was offered the, uh, the role in Brian's song. Remember that movie? That's an old seventies tear jerker. And he was training for it in three days before they began to shoot. He tears an Achilles heel. There's my goddamn phone beeping. Come on, Dean, be professional. You're doing a podcast. Can't you just fucking mute your phone and just muted it for you? Anyway, he's offered that role and he pulls his, uh, tears his Achilles heel or whatever. And the, the, uh, the producers promise him, look, we'll find you something else later down the road. And he was so depressed. He was like, fuck, that was my shot. I was going to be fucking, I was going to be on TV. I was going to do a movie. And five, six years down the road, those producers did roots and gave him the leading role as Fiddler, which absolutely exploded his career. So wow, wild shit. Um, you know, but the main thing to me is that that officer and a gentleman, man, as I watched the quips this morning, I want to watch the whole film again. I've seen it so many times. It was one of those ones where I would go to blockbuster. It wasn't even blockbuster. It was like whatever the family owned one on my block was that when you just walked down, you know, you got a late charge and you didn't rewind, be kind, rewind. We got, we got to charge you for your late charge. You owe $72 on ET. You had it for a month. Yeah. But the video only cost like $40. Yeah. Well, you got to pay this, you got to pay this fucking late fee. And then you didn't rewind it. So that's another dollar 50. Fuck you. Give me officer and a gentleman. Well, you've seen that 10 times. I don't care. It's a good film. I'm going to watch it again. Have it back by Monday. Fucking insane. Video stores, VCRs, Betamax. You know, war back then. Walkmans. I saw a clip on Instagram of somebody putting together a Walkman from scratch parts and it just threw me into the greatest memory of all time when the Walkman came out. That was it for me, man. I had the Sony Walkman and eventually it came with auto reverse. But the first one was just that silver Walkman. You got the fucking headphones under your hat. You could be in class at school. Teachers up there just fucking slinging bullshit. You got your headphones on just sneaking some scorpions, blackout album, right? The fucking Walkman. Once in a while, you'd eat your cassette, you'd cry, get the pencil, try to fix it. But the Walkman was the original freedom machine for me. I could walk to school and no longer was I just fucking hearing those goddamn noises of doubt in my head. I could drown them out with the Sony Walkman. Yes, the depression would slip away for a while as I put in if you want blood, you got it and walk to school. The Walkman, man. What a fucking invention. It's it's hard to believe how simple that was, but how great that was back then to have a small cassette player. And then the Discman came, which was garbage until they got rid of the anti skip or they got anti skip. Sorry. The Discman, you just fucking move one into it. It was ridiculous. You ever get in a buddy's car back then and they would have the Discman, they would have the Discman Velcroed onto their fucking Dotson B210 dash. You're just cruising around with your Discman feeling like a goddamn rich person, because CDs were $28 or $22. Anyway, long live the fucking Walkman. But most important, shout out to one of our greatest actors of all time, Lou Gossett Jr., great footage of him when he wins that Academy Award. He's just blown back like, Holy shit, I got it. And his role is amazing. And they're the fucking, those guys' bodies, man, they were just completely ripped Bruce Lee style. Gotta love it. Gotta love it. Anyway, just had to give him some some glory. Let's look at like, oh, here's one last fucking story about him. This one's gonna fucking, this one blew my head off. Okay, he went to Woodstock, he was offered or he landed Brian's song. But this one, okay, Lou Gossett was at a party with the Mamas and the Papas on August 9th, 1969. If that date sounds familiar, it's because you're a fucking weirdo and you know Manson stuff. Anyway, he's at this party with the Mamas and Papas hanging out and somebody invites him to another party at Sharon Tate's house. And Gossett's like, all right, I'm gonna go to that party, but I'm gonna shower before I go over there because I've been fucking partying all day here with the Mamas and Papas. So he goes home and showers and he turns on the news and he sees the broadcast on the tape murders. Manson, he was almost there. That is a fucking story, man. That's like one of those ones where that's like the Buddy Holly, you know, that's the the whale and Jennings, you know, gave up a seat or, you know, any story like that where you missed your flight and that fucking flight went down or something. You were almost murdered by a Manson family. Man, that's fucking crazy. In 69, we wouldn't have had the deep. We wouldn't have had roots. We wouldn't have had officer and a gentleman. Most important, we wouldn't have him. He was fucking just a goddamn saint. 87 years old. I'll take that. I'll take 87 because I was reading recently. I read two days ago, the average American's lifespan now is 76. This shit. We have more medical science and more technology than ever. And we have the fucking poison food, you know, it's insane. People aren't working out. People aren't working out. There's like, I think I talked about this. It's like 80 units in my building and there's a gym. No one in there. All you got to do is ride the elevator down and work out. It's the easiest besides having a gym in your apartment. It's the easiest commute to a gym and no one's in there. It's going down people pretty soon. They're going to be like average lifespans about 50 years old, you know, you know, that's just what we're eating now. Plastic, everything. Everything is plastic. Everything is sugar. Everything is salt. Okay. Lots to talk about here. Let me check my chart for you guys right here and go over some stuff. Oh, Easter was yesterday. I was talking about that a little bit like if you don't have kids or if you're not married, it doesn't really matter. You just enjoy your life on Easter. The bunny, all that crazy shit. But if you want to hear a fucking funny Easter story, go back and listen to my episode with my former boss at Harley Davidson, Garo Artunian, because Easter is probably speaking of dead Americans early. The Easter of, I don't know, maybe 16 years ago was probably when diabetes started to slowly take place in my body because the boss, it wasn't the boss, probably it was probably this other lady there that worked there that was always super cool. Somebody brought in a box of white chocolate rabbits. I like white chocolate and dark chocolate rabbits and they weren't the bullshit ones. You ever get those chocolate rabbits where they're hollow? He is buying it just crumbles. You know, those is just like, there was nothing, it was just a shell of a rabbit and you bite the chocolate and just crumble. But these were the fucking, they spent the extra 39 cents and got the solid chocolate ones. So everybody ate up the dark chocolate, but no one touched the white chocolate. People were like, ew, white chocolate's gross. And me growing up around probably my mom who has had weird taste like myself, I loved white chocolate. I grew up on some white chocolate. I'll fucking tear up some white chocolate. It's got a different kick ass taste. So there was a box of those things over there and they're each one was one pound solid chocolate rabbits. And I remember in one day, I ate three of those. That's three pounds of white chocolate. And for the next week, these white chocolate rabbits became my lunch and dinner in between slinging bikes. I would just go, I'd be talking to a customer who's buying a Harley come down. Yeah, I want to be like sons of anarchy, man. I want to be Sam Crow. I need a goddamn Harley diner. And he's looking at me and I'm just chewing on a white chocolate rabbit. Yeah, man. This one right here, Jack's teller would ride this one. You know, this is the one you want, or maybe the opium will be over here. Grow your beard out and get a vest and some high risers, man. I just eating this fucking white chocolate Easter bunny in front of this fucking guy. Oh my God. And I remember that after I ate the three, I had to go home. I was kind of like, I got to go home. I don't feel good. So that was definitely early diabetes. And while I was eating that white chocolate rabbits, I was polishing it off with some fucking food truck quesadilla and a rice pudding they sold and a big old fucking Arizona iced tea, just millions of grams of sugar going through the Dean body just completely destroying me. God damn it. So Easter always reminds me of those white chocolate rabbits that I ate. Garl Artunian is the episode. Go back because Garl had a great memory. Garl has a really good memory, man. And he didn't do pounds of drugs like me. So he he remembers it quite well. And it is a fucking funny, funny story. That whole episode was great. Just Garl reliving the lunacy of me and my first kind of real long job after playing music, working at Harley Davidson basically right before I start comedy. And just, you know, like, yeah, I guess I work every day now seven days a week for a commission. Anyway, go back and check that out. Happy Easter, if that's the thing you do, people. A great anniversary happened over the weekend. And it's the 35th anniversary of one of the greatest records in my collection. I don't have any records anymore, but vinyl it was in there and it was played quite a bit. It's the Keith Richards Talk is cheap album. And that thing turned 35. Let me look this up right here. This record, if you think about it, if there was like, let me find a talk is cheap. If there was like some kind of competition, you know, hold on, Keith Richards, Keith Richards, Siri. There we go. If there was a competition between Keith and Mick, Keith won when it comes to the solo stuff. Because, you know, Mick had that she's the boss record, but nothing comes close to this talk is cheap record. And oh my god, it's so fucking good. It's funny because I saw him solo tour. Bill Graham Civic Keith Richards. It was just fantastic, man. Talk is cheap. All right. Came out in 1988. This says October 3rd, but I don't know. I'm going off of what Keith Richards said on his Instagram 35 year anniversary. A couple days ago, who knows? I should have Wikipedia because people hit me up like, Hey, dude, it's actually you're wrong on that. I'm just going off fucking Keith Richards Instagram. But you have struggle. Oh, and he played SNL on this record. It's just incredible. It's incredible. And struggle. Make no mistake. Unbelievable tune. You don't move me anymore, which was long rumored to be his pop shot at Mick Jagger. And locked away. This whole record is killer. It was done up there at the site where Pearl Jam did the vitality record in the mill. What is it? Marin County Hills. And the site is also where I filmed a little bit of some limp biscuit documentary back in the day. An unbelievable record. Killer album cover showing off perfectly that weird bracelet he's wore all his life and that crazy pig skull ring. And you gotta think about, man, that's basically where people think the Stones are over. You know, there's a bit a few times where it looks like they were going to be over in those back in those days. You know, the time Keith got busted for the heroin in Toronto or whatever. I've been watching all week. This new documentary that's coming out May 3rd, I believe Anita Pallenberg documentary. And it is fucking fantastic to see this woman basically blow through the Stones. She starts out with Brian Jones, then goes to Keith, then does this movie, the performance with Mick Jagger. It kind of seemed like they might have fucked. She didn't really say. But I think I think they did Mick fell in love with her. Anyway, eventually she stays with Keith, Brian Jones drowns in the pool. Maybe he was murdered, aka allegedly. I don't know. All of that fucking crazy dark era of the Stones. But to see this documentary and this woman basically is the muse for a lot of Keith's songs, you know. And then when she goes and sticks with Keith, Mick writes, you can't always get what you want. It's crazy how one woman in that era, you're in the fucking giant band, the Stones. And one woman could dominate a bandman. There's so many beautiful women out there. They're like this one. And you know, Keith was so shy. It wasn't like, you know, he was just like she was teaching him, you know, the world of art. She was hanging with Andy Warhol. Who wasn't hanging with Andy Warhol back then? Tell me that. Anyway, this is a great fucking documentary. It's coming out May 3rd in the theater, done by Magnolia, who's done all the great music documentaries over the last, I don't know, five, 10 years. And fascinating story. She had three kids with Keith. And Keith has long said that he still loves her, you know, she it's wild, man. It is wild. And not really my type, man. You know, I thought Mick had the had the one Bianca Jagger. She was kind of more kind of fucking mysterious and international flavor. But I get it. I get it. You know, she Anita seemed cool, hanging out, marrying faithful. That's who sister morphine's about Anita. She was coming off fucking heroin when she was first pregnant. Doctors gave her some morphine here. This will help you. Hey, isn't that also an opiate? I don't know. Loving it. She wrote this autobiography her own and they put it away and never shopped it around when she passed away. They found it. The kids and so Scarlett Johansson is reading as, you know, as Anita. She's reading the book and it's fantastic. There's also, I haven't seen this yet, the Carol Dota documentary and that whole history of San Francisco and the strip joints for the sailors back then and the fight to show your tits. You know, it's a wild, wild story. Lars Ulrich, the people, the drum that people love to hate and the guy I love, Lars Ulrich produced this thing and it's out in the theaters right now. And my buddy went and saw it and said, it's fucking good. So Carol Dota documentary, I watched documentaries. How annoying are we after we watch a documentary just walking around like we know shit? You know, like, Hey, Tom, don't drink water. Didn't you see water time on Hulu? Anyway, so watch for that and then go back and rock talk is cheap, man. Yeah, I mean, there is, it is insane that Keith is still alive. He is fucking beating everyone. Him and Willie Nelson. It is unreal. Keith is 80 and just fucking about to go back out on tour. God, I love Keith. There's so many different Keith eras. My favorite is probably the tattoo you era because, you know, it's just tough to beat that cool Keith on the tattoo. I mean, tattoo you era. And I mean, there's, you know, 75s Keith is cool during the black and blue era. But what's your favorite Keith? Leave it in the comments on iTunes or YouTube. Oh, by the way, the YouTube, the iTunes comments have been fucking picking up. And I want to say thank you right now. And let's just read a quick one because this is so fucking cool. Like I said, if you leave the fucking reviews, it helps the show. It really does. It puts it in the algorithm and the people get suggested. Here's a new new review where there's a new review. Can't fucking find it. Here it is. New review by the man, not the myth. Hammy Colo. A walking encyclopedia of all things vintage. Music, LA, Frisco, scene, Frisco, scene. Guitar, strap a motor to it. Deans your guy. An American treasure walks amongst us. Thank you for all your content, Maestro. Thank you, Hammy. Very cool. Next one. Fire. And beards. This podcast is fire. Five stars. Just listen to episode 741 with Phil, the new band Phil. Thanks for sharing the new killer band. Keep them coming, brother. Killer Craig. Killer Craig. Dean is my favorite comedian and podcaster. Great topics, interesting interviews, guests, and I love your style, brother. Light the candles. All right. There you go. Thank you for those fucking cool ass reviews. Leave them on iTunes and subscribe to the, to the YouTube. I want to give a shout out to a new denim store that I went to that I was turned on to by a standard and strange. I was out there in New York for a week which was just fucking amazing. Hanging out with Keith Robinson and Bill Burr and seeing some old friends. Rami Yusep, who's fucking just fantastic comedian. He hosted SNL. Congrats to that, my friend. But I was at Standard and Strange and they turned me onto this new denim free note. It's a place here in LA who gets Japanese denim and then sews it right here in LA. They make all kinds of great clothes right in LA, handmade, and then they sell them at the shop in Highland Park or online, go to their Instagram or at Standard and Strange. So went in there, got some denim, and I'm going to wear it for a year and see what it looks like. I've started to change my denim taste. That's what happens. You get older and you're like, I want to maybe go maybe a little bit different look. Maybe I'll go this M65 taxi driver jacket. I don't know. Just got to fucking mix it up. So I went in there, got a pair of denim and I looked to the right and they had red wings and I have an own red wings. Really, I owned one pair of red wings for about a month and sold them there just too narrow. And I always loved red wings. If people always say recommend a boot that's not crazy money, okay. Well, Go Ruck is the first boot I would recommend because it's about 180 bucks. It's waterproof and lifetime warranty. And I had those owners on the podcast and it's a collaboration between this Vietnam vet and the guy that invented the Reebok pump sneaker. And they made the most comfortable boot I've ever owned for walking and talking. It's called Go Ruck. Now that's about 180 bucks. And I can wear that boot in the gym. It's made for Ruckin. And it is an amazing boot. But next up, for around the $300 range, I would recommend this boot I just got the iron heart, not iron heart dummy, that's a denim, the red wing iron ranger. This boot is incredible. They got, they just came out with one with a Christy soul. And I bought a pair and I've been wearing it for like five days now and they're just amazing. I got them at free note while I was in there getting my denim hemmed because I got the 27 inch leg inseam. I'm a shorty ladies. You hear that? Yeah, quit being picky. Shorty is in the house. Who's up shorty? Anyway, so I got these boots and oh man, you can see a picture of them on my Instagram. They're fucking fantastic, man. They're that classic kind of orangey color Irish setter or whatever it is. And man, and they make it in a dark brown also, which by the way, I want to give a shout out coming up. I've talked about it over the years. The inspiration Japanese clothing show is coming up on April 12th and 13th in Pasadena. I will be there. And this thing over the years has been fantastic. Now, I don't know what it's going to be like this year. But if you want to get into all things handmade and amazing goods, go to inspiration put on by the great fucking up. I'm going to forget his name right now. Rin Tanaka brainworked. And it's a great, great event denim leather people that nerd out on clothes, art, there's all kinds of stuff at this inspiration. Pasadena April 12 and 13th. Come on out. I will be there. I'll be there signing autographs. No, I won't. I'm not fucking I just say that. I just sound like those guys on the radio and you can come on out and catch me. I'll be signing autographs from two to five at the at the real McCoy's booth. Anyway, so I'm going to that. But I wanted to give a shout out to Freeno. Great, great, great place. I also want to give a shout out speaking of handmade. And I had to get a mattress recently because I moved. I got a new place that I love and I go, okay, I'm going to live here till I die. So let's get the last mattress. So I went to a place in Pasadena called custom mattress company. And these people make mattresses right in L.A. And they are above anything I've ever seen. Unbelievable, all natural inside horse hair, alpaca wool, bull, organic cotton. This ain't no bullshit latex beds, man. Not any of those companies are like, we'll send you a mattress for $2,000 and it comes in a box and you open your door, it's in a box and you open and it fucking opens like those Jiffy Pop. Then you lay on it, you're like, this thing's like a fucking bogus futon futon futon. Good man. You ever see futon? Yeah, they open for kias back in 90. Anyway, custom mattress company. And it's not a it's not a sponsor or anything. I just was blown away by the quality of this mattress and also a free note. They're denim blown away. People are doing some fucking good, good shit out there. And it makes me so happy when you can see some great quality shit. That's not your fucking Walmart bullshit made in China garbage, you know, unreal. And it's inspiring, man. This mattress, these people free note, standard and strange. These guys inspire me all the time. I see them, they're passionate about what they do and I love it, man. If I wasn't a comedian, I'd probably work at standard and strange and just fucking chew off people's ears. Like, dude, man, you got to get this fucking, you got to get this new free note denim, 13 ounces. I'm doing an imitation of me. Dude, 13 ounces. Fuck killer. Check it out. Put it on, dude. Oh, fucking fire. Shit, it's killer, dude. Oh, man, free note. Put it on with a real McCoy's fucking off. This thing's a 10. This fucking M 65. Yeah, fuck all y'all. All right. Anyway, so big love to them. I got my ticket to go see dead and go forth to July. I'm headed out to the sphere again. And I kind of want to go to Vegas to see scorpions. They're doing a, um, they're doing a residency out there in the next couple of weeks. And they're doing the love is first sting record from top to bottom. Great fucking record. That's the last good one. That is the last good scorpions record. It's crazy. Go love dry. Of course, the Uli Ross shit's amazing, but you get into that love drive animal magnetism blackout love it first sting. What a fucking run. They go from opening for Ted Nugent at the cow palace on the love drive record, which I saw him to headlining on the love it first sting record at the day on the green unreal. And that's the day that Metallica played with, uh, Cliff Burton. And the day I always say the changing of the guard, just think about that in a five year period, scorpions go from opening for Ted Nugent at the cow palace to fucking headlining the Oakland A's Coliseum where Metallica was on the bill second. And then Metallica just a few years later, headlines that motherfucker on their own unreal to see that trajectory trajectory trajectory. I can't talk. I can't talk. I know fucking 50 words. Fire killer. You're crazy. Anyway, I wouldn't mind seeing the scorpions play that love it first sting record. They're going to do the love it first sting record and then they'll do some of the hits and man, you could probably get out there, get out of the venue right before they play that. Oh, Gorky Park. What a fucking stink. Down to Gorky Park. If anybody ever pisses you off, just do that whistle and it'll be stuck in their head all day. You know, by the way, Klaus, hold on. I looked it up fucking Klaus is like goddamn 76 or something. Let me look at this. And I'm watching them rehearse. Of course, I can hear some tracks in the background or something on their Instagram that rehearsing. And here it is right. He's 76 man next month. Don't do. Remember Herman Zegerman was their drummer. They've had so many members, the scorpions, and no one even cares. You're like, OK, there's Klaus. They've been a band since the 60s, which people don't even know. I watched their documentary on Amazon. It's not very good the documentary, but great history. But I mean, they've had a million members. It's crazy. Anyway, they're playing in a planet Hollywood in Vegas. I would not mind seeing that. Might be fucking cool to go see that down to Gorky Park. All right, guys. That is my stories today. Tour dates are all over the website. So many great tour dates, man. I hope you can make it out. Let me get them here for you. Coming up is San Diego, May 10th, two shows at the mic drop. Can't wait to do that two and one night. May 10th. Then June 5 and 6, Bellco Arena in Denver with Bill Burr. Greek Theater, June 8th with the big bad ass Bill Burr at Berkeley. God, that's going to be so fucking cool. Then I'm head nine and out in Springfield, Missouri at the blue room June 21 and 22. I'm going out to Vegas for a full week July 8th, starting at the comedy cellar at the Rio Acme. I returned to Acme for four nights starting July 24th. Please get your tickets, my friends, all in advance. It really helps. Then I don't have to fucking talk about it every goddamn minute on my social media and my podcast. Keep it just all about clean conversations without promotions, man. Anyway, I don't know. I'm in a pretty good mood actually. I feel pretty good now. I woke up kind of just groggy. I took this fucking edible last night. It was a 20 milligram and man, it just rocked me. Immediately I was just in bed like whoa, like the weighted blanket was on the chest. Gertie was out and I was over there like I am fucked. Candles are lit my friends. See you this week. I'm in LA all week popping around the comedy store and flappers and and other places and thank you for all your support. I love you guys. See you next week.
