What was Tyler Fischer's upbringing like?
I will, but I'm not going to Russell Brand you. Manipulation of the condensation of the retriculation of the mastication of the masturbation. You know, and that's what I think about oat milk. How many impressions can you do?
Upwards of 50. By the way, I love RFK Jr., but I said, why does every woman under 30 sound like RFK Jr.?
And then I started doing this whole thing about, you know, this is how women sound in bed. You know, I want you to joke me. Yeah.
Hello, everybody. So, a lighter podcast today, given that I'm speaking with a comedian, Tyler Fisher. Tyler's in the midst of a lengthy multi-city tour. He's got 100 venues lined up before the end of the year, before the end of 2025, and It's light, of course, because it's comedy, but there's a dark edge to it too, and that's also not so uncommon in comedy. And the dark edge is, ah, he's probably one of the most well-cancelled comedians that are still staggering around, so to speak, today. And we delve into that, and we also investigated the relationship between acting, entertaining, being truthful... and being genuine. Tyler told me that when he was a kid, he used his acting ability, his comedic ability, as a defense in a way, as a mode of coping, and that it wasn't until he was in his 30s that a more genuine approach to his thoughts melded with his acting ability.
So we delved into that, his familial background, the trouble he encountered as a kid, his encounter over a decade or more with cancel culture, his acting career, and then his reemergence, really, on the comedic stage. prior to the tour that is going on now until the end of 2025. So join us for that. So I think you deserve all this attention. Three cameras, like 10 people, all focused on you. This is for you, come on. Though I did wear this.
for you okay and now you have to explain why because the connection escapes me just the color you like colorful things oh yes okay okay so this was uh this was a uh jordan inspired jordan inspired i washed my shoes in the sink this morning for you
Oh, that's impressive. And then I made my damn bed. Yeah, well, that's really, you know, going the whole nine yards. So the last time I saw you. You look fantastic, by the way. Thank you, sir. Thank you. You're welcome. I think the last time I saw you was at Rogan's Comedy Mothership. Is that correct?
Yeah, we did Kill Tony together.
Yeah, that was a surprise.
Yeah, how many new comedians' careers do you think we destroyed that night between my... Shit, can we swear on this?
You can do whatever you want.
Okay.
Well, within, you know, reasonable bounds.
Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to play Kanye's new song quite yet.
That's probably wise. Sure. Yeah. My friend Jonathan Paggio thinks the post-war interpretation of the world is coming to an end and that Kanye is leading that. That could be true. Oh, who the hell knows what's true. Yeah. Have you listened to the song? Yes. Sure. When did I listen to it? I heard it in the car as you pulled up. Yeah, yeah. No, no, that was old punk, I think, that I was playing, or the Pogues. I don't remember what was going on.
Yeah, I liked old Kanye's music, and then I saw him get very cocky and, you know, godlike, and I shut off. I said, this isn't going to end well.
Yeah, well, he's got a manic touch, eh? So that inflates people.
Yep.
Yeah, so... Yeah, it's very strange, and it's very hard to know what to make of it, and I don't. I mean, I've seen a terrible rise in anti-Semitic content on, well, university campuses. Let's start there. Go Columbia! The inclusivity places. At Harvard, bloody pathetic hell holes. Sure. But on X, too.
