Hi.
Today we have Moe Amer on.
Yeah.
I'm a big fan of Moe.
Moe is great.
Mo is a stand-up comedian and an award-winning writer. I first saw him on Rami, which is another show I love. Friend of the pod. Where he plays Mo in that, but not our Mo in Mo.
Mo plays Mo in that, but then in his show, he's a different Mo.
He's a different Mo, but very similar. Also Black Adam and two standup specials on Netflix, Mo Amr, The Vagabond and Mo Amr, Mohammed in Texas. And he's on tour right now with El Oso Palestino Tour, which is the Palestinian bear. That's what that translates to.
This was so interesting.
Another incredible story. Yeah. We're just coming off a John story. And then now we have this.
We're getting some epic tales in this garage.
We are. Also very Kee Kee Kwan.
Yeah. I was thinking a lot about Kee during this episode.
Yeah. We're accumulating some wild. You can really take some circuitous paths to this town of Hollywood.
That's right.
Please enjoy Moe Ammer.
You know those creepy stories that give you goosebumps? The ones that make you really question what's real? Well, what if I told you that some of the strangest, darkest, and most mysterious stories are not found in haunted houses or abandoned forests, but instead in hospital rooms and doctor's offices? Hi, I'm Mr. Ballin, the host of Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries. And each week on my podcast, you can expect to hear stories about bizarre illnesses no one can explain, miraculous recoveries that shouldn't have happened, and cases so baffling they stumped even the best doctors. So if you crave totally true and thoroughly twisted horror stories and mysteries, Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries should be your new go-to weekly show.
Listen to Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen early and ad-free right now by joining Wondery Plus in the Wondery app or on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
Bye.
Do you get anxiety before you go out on a talk show that you're going to have to pee once you get out there? Peeing is not the anxiety. It's not.
That's last on the list. What is it? I just watch you and Seth. Actually, I have something in common with Seth. Edibles fuck me up. I'm terrified of that. I don't really get anxiety. I get anxiety only if something is not settled at home. You know, if something is off. You'll carry that. I'm a very sensitive person. I can feel my family's energy. If something's wrong, I'll know it's wrong. Right. I don't know how to describe it. It's like the antenna. Spidey sense. That's the only time.
No compulsive rumination thoughts. Like I can acknowledge the pee one is insane. I'll be in the dressing room at Kimmel and I'm waiting to hear the knock. I stand in front of the toilet. Yeah. And then when I hear the knock, I go, one second. And then I do my last pee because I'm so nervous that it's 12 minutes.
Do you think you're at risk of ever peeing in your pants?
No. Although, if ever there was a place to try it, it would be on Kimmel. That's true. Kimmel's the one to do it.
Yeah, for sure. It's a safe place to pee your suit. It's so easy to talk to. It feels so calming. I'm doing Kimmel tomorrow, actually. I don't know if you knew that. I'm doing it Thursday. Oh. That's funny. It's awesome.
Let's do it on the same. Let's do it. I'll go to yours. You come to mine.
Why don't you guys tell the exact same story? We'll plan it.
It's going to be great for him because he's first. Just see you on the show as an Arab growing up in America.
It'd be so great. That's kind of what they do on Weekend Update. Do you ever watch the stuff with Shay? Fuck Shay, man. No, I'm just kidding. That's my brother.
It's going to be downhill from here, guys. But him and Colin. No, these are my guys. They're my friends. Yeah, where they write jokes for each other that they're not allowed to tell.
