So I was very lucky. Have you ever tried to do comedy?
Yes. Much like me. You can laugh at me. The difference with me and you is you grew up wealthy. You grew up in the limelight. You probably public speaking when you were fucking two. There's a lot of public speaking. For a lot of people, public speaking... is way out of their comfort zone. I don't give a shit. We can go speak anywhere. I can do that. You can ask my head of PR. We'll show up places.
I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing. I don't even know what it's about. And then we'll get there. She's like, you got to go up and do this. No problem. I'm going to do it, right? So we do a show called Looking for a Fight. And we try to go into these cities, take in what the city has to offer, food and all that shit.
And then we go to a local fight and hopefully we find somebody that we can bring into the UFC. So we always try to do shit to put us out of our comfort zone. We rode a PBR bull. I rode a bull. Yeah, like eight years ago. One of the dumbest fucking things I've ever done. And I've done some dumb shit.
No safety equipment, no nothing. So you have this... Harness? Most normal people probably don't have this, but... When I was thinking about it, I'm like, when I get down on top of the bowl and they strap my hand in.
You have to go like this to tell them to open the thing. I said, I'm probably not going to do it. I'm probably going to freeze.
Oh, you'll do it. Because the bowl starts slamming your legs into the bars on the sides. Oh, my God. I threw my hand up as fast as I could. How long did you last? I don't know, a second. It wasn't much. It's on YouTube.
My point is, we did that, we jumped in the middle.
I don't know.
It just seemed like it would, you know, you face these things that you normally would never do in a million years. We went out in the middle of the water in Miami, and they chummed up the water and got all these sharks out there, and we fucking jumped in the water. That's the dumbest thing we did.
Yeah. An oak shark cage. You just jump right in. Out of those two things, I'd do both of them again before I do stand-up comedy. Wow. I swear to God. It's just... And after we... So... We did this thing at one of the comedy shows, comedy places in LA. And I've like, I've been to the comedy places, you know, on some nights, unless there's like a big headliner there.
There's a few people in the crowd and whatever. We'll go in there. Well, they advertise this thing. And when we pulled up to the comedy, there was a line down the street to get in. And the lady who owned the comedy place was so pumped. She was like, we should do this once a month. And I'm like... We're never fucking doing this again, lady. One night only. So we go in there. How long was your set?
My set was probably four or five minutes. That's a while. to explain to you. I don't even know to explain to you how I felt before we went up on stage. I was fucking dying. Yeah. And once I got through that experience, I was like, I have so much respect for stand-up comics, especially the ones who suck or are in their bombing trying to make it as a comic, right?
To go in and do that night after night after night is absolutely brutal. So I'm like, I will never,
ever fucking do this again and then they call me for the roast of Tom Brady right right and I'm like how am I going to say no to Brady and uh so I did it you know I said yes holy shit I'm not I'm not exaggerating to you when I went out when we got done and I left my body was fucked up for like three days really because you were so tense there was something fucking wrong with me
physically after that.
Ever. I don't care who it is. Nope. No standup. You'll never see me do it again. Okay. And if you think you want to test yourself and you want to go out and go do standup comedy, get Bill Burr to write all your fucking jokes. Oh, by the way, I had professional comics writing my jokes. Not like I had to sit down and write jokes myself.
But when you go in, especially at like A Roast, all the best comedians in the world. Oh, and by the way, I didn't know this. We're in LA and the venue was sold out. There's like 12,000 people there live. That's a lot of people. So you got all these comics, 12,000 people live, and then when it's your turn, the camera comes right up to your face. And you're just like, fuck.
Now you got to make people laugh, right?
You did. So I woke up that morning, the morning of the thing. I got my jokes, Tony Hinchcliffe. Who stole my joke that day? What's her name? Nikki Glaser stole one of my jokes. That's bullshit. And they told her that Dana White has that joke. And she's like, well, fuck him. He's after me. He's after me. Fuck him. What's he going to do, right? You're a professional comedian.
