Chapter 1: What childhood antics did Jeff Dye share?
Can you believe we were just pantsing people? Yeah, you'd wait for your friend, who trusts you, to be like holding a tray of food or something, and then you would just pants him. If he told on you, you'd act incredulous, like, oh god. Here we go. All we did was pull his pants and underwear down, and now he told on us? We're going to have to beat the out of that guy.
Welcome to Yes or No, the Bibulous battle to discover who knows whom better. My guest today is comedian Jeff Dye. Sorry, I'm Googling Bibulous.
Bibulous, it's a great word. What does that mean?
That's a $10 word when a nickel would have done. He is a stand-up comedian and an actor, and here is how it works. I'm going to ask Jeff a yes or no question. He'll lock in his answer away from my prying eyes. Then I will try to guess what he chose. If I guess correctly, I get a point. If I guess incorrectly, I will lose a point.
No matter what, I usually say I'll end up drinking, but mercifully, Jeff took pity on me today because it's in the morning and I don't have to slam a martini right when I wake up. I'm having a tasty little smoothie. Then it'll be Jeff's turn. Neither of us has seen the questions beforehand. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins. The stakes could be higher.
Do you have a wager, Jeff? First of all, thank you for coming on the show.
Thanks for having me. I'm a big fan. I'm excited to be here. Yeah, pleasure's all mine. Smoothies. Hey, my alcoholism worked out to your advantage. You don't have to drink today. I am so happy you're an alcoholic.
I did not. And the fact that you come on. The one thing I'm irritated about, you had two sold-out shows at Zany's last night.

Chapter 2: How does the YES or NO game work?
Yes. Nobody informed me of this fact. You've got to work on your team. I know. So the shows went great. Yeah. Now you're here. We're smoking nice, tasty breakfast cigars. Yes, I'm very excited. Cheers. Cheers. What's the wager?
Oh, I thought about this all morning. You know, when you prep for a show like Yes or No, you can't stop thinking about it. A little bit of nerves, you know, a little excitement. I was racking my brain. I figured a fair wager. You live in Nashville. I live in Los Angeles.
Yep.
Whoever loses has to move to Iran. I think that is... That's a pretty fair way to... You know, because we both love where we live. Yeah. But, you know, if this is going to mean something, I think that is... Look, all right, that's fair.
Because I was going to say, I was going to say, if I lose, I'll give you like a box of cigars or something.
Oh, yeah, we'll go with cigars for a cigar.
Yeah, and if I... But now...
What, are you afraid about real estate in Iran? Yeah, and on top of that... Can't afford it with your big fancy show? Oh, what are the prices in Iran? I don't know what that is.
I can't wait. I'd rather live in Tehran post-Rubio than at the Trump Hotel and Casino in Gaza, which also will be built. So... We have the steaks on the table. Okay, got it. You know the rules?

Chapter 3: What are Jeff Dye's thoughts on cancel culture?
Yeah, okay. Look, I'm comfortable with it in the sense that... Mm-hmm. I rejoice in my sufferings. If I even merit an obituary in the New York Times or something, some liberal paper, it's going to say this ugly, stupid jerk died today. Look, an ISIS commander dies. They say the austere, brilliant, beautiful religious scholar or the poet, whatever.
And then Scott Adams dies, and they say a racist cartoonist dead. Celebrations at eight.
It happened this week, actually. Chuck Norris' thing was like, maybe his politics will take away from his being remembered. But you see what they wrote about Rob Reiner, and it was like the most sweet, nice thing.
Or the Ayatollah. Yeah, yeah. So I guess I'm comfortable with it in the sense that, yeah, if I even merit an obituary, It's going to be the guy who wanted to genocide the Trannys and... Merit an obituary.
Yeah, I don't know. My Uncle Al got an obituary and you're way more successful than him. He was just some creep. Yeah, what did they say about Uncle Al? Nothing good. He was survived by his fifth wife. Yeah.
I guess you're right. I'm more comfortable with the Tranny thing than some of that.
Despite all the holes in his resume, he said he had money. You know, I'm not comfortable with that for you. I think you're a great man, and I hate that people write weird shit like that. Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
Actually, I guess my obituary is going to be in Farsi if I lose this game, so we'll find out. This is a video prompt that we have to watch before I... Oh, cool.
He's like, oh, you know that they're going to let a trans chick fight a biological female? I'm a go-along guy. I'm going, hey, I don't, you know, hey. You know, why do you care, man? She wants to fight. She can fight. Whatever she believes, she is beautiful. You know, that's nice. Right, that's good. That's nice. I'm a go-along guy. That's good. Trying to be nice. Want to be everybody's friend.

Chapter 4: How does Jeff Dye view modern dating culture?
She's been on this show. Gina, though, how do I say this? Because I'm a married guy, I don't want it to seem like I'm saying. She's hot. Yeah, she's slimmed even a little bit, and I just fear. And she's always been gorgeous. She's always been beautiful. She's very beautiful. I fear that now, her even being a little trimmer, that's gonna give her a disadvantage in the fight.
Oh, by the way, I should be very clear on this. When I'm talking about her body, it isn't about weight fluctuation. It's just, like, I'm not into, like, big, strong chicks. It was the muscle thing. It's like... There were times where Gina was like, hey, maybe that's not as hot. She'd beat the hell out of me, you know? But she's always been beautiful, and she's always been cool.
I'm going to that fight, by the way. Can I...
I love Gina Carano. That's my preference. I hate watching women fight. I mean, I like watching them fight in kind of like in the office when they're just being catty to each other and that's kind of, but in physical fights, I have to walk. If I go to UFC and the girls start fighting, I go get a drink. I cannot watch it. I don't know. Maybe I'm, I can't tell if that makes any sense.
Why do you think that is? I can't tell if it's chivalry. It might be just chivalry. I don't want to say, or, I don't know, maybe I'm just nuts. What if we gave them weapons? Yeah. Then would you be in? Well, yeah, if I didn't have to look the loser in the face afterward, because she would be splayed out, you know, splattered on the mat, then maybe I could do it.
I'll admit this here. I'm not really into any fighting. Even the guys, I'm going, Jesus, if these were dogs, this would be against the law. You know, like, this is crazy. I watch fake wrestling. I watch WWE and AEW and stuff like that. I like that it's predetermined. I like that it's a show. I know they're not really hurting each other. I know they're buddies.
So to be honest, any kind of fighting makes me a little, you know, not... not comfortable, but I'm friends with Joe and I'm friends with Brendan Schaub and all these guys who love it. And so they've kind of made me into it just because I like them and I like being around them. But I also have, I'm a hater when it comes to Ronda Rousey. I've always been a hater. I don't like her attitude.
I know that she's a badass and she's the best at what she does and I respect that. And Joe loves her and defends her and says that she's like a competitor. But I like people that are nice. Could you beat up Ronda Rousey? No. No, I don't think so. See, I remember we asked this. Let's get that going.
Man, that would be a great bit. Yeah, you'd watch that. I'm learning stuff about myself. We asked some millennial, this was 10 years ago, one of the millennial staffers, back when we were young, when millennials were young, and we're like, do you think that a woman can beat up a man? And he said, absolutely. I was like, I don't think that basically any woman can beat up basically any man.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of cancel culture on comedy?
It's like when that tennis player, Karsten Brasch, played this.
Yes, they really buried that. You can't almost find that anywhere on the internet. You've got to do some deep diving to find that.
All right, so the only way to find out if Ronda Rousey could beat you up is to film it on this show.
I think I could knock her out. Here's what I think. I think I could knock. I got the reach. I got big fists, whatever. But I think that she would try to do some wormy thing where she gets me on the ground and then she'd break my arm and then everyone would laugh in my face. That's what I think would happen. Because she knows judo. She knows what she's doing.
So I would say if we fought, she would indefinitely win for sure.
Because she'd get wormy.
Yeah. All right. Yeah, she's all squirrely and all that. But I think I could maybe just rack her one and then people would be like, oh, dude. But these kind of conversations are tricky, you know? When you're talking about beating women. Yeah, you know? I mean, I see it on Mortal Kombat all the time. Yeah. Sonya Blade gets beat up by Sub-Zero and no one says anything. This is like that.
I talk about knocking out Ronda Rousey. Everyone's like, can you believe what he said to Michael Nolan?
Yes. Yes.

Chapter 6: What are the challenges of political discussions in comedy?
It's a video or photo prompt. Oh, dear. It's your past guest.
Sorry, boy. Sorry, boy. Man, it's hot in Africa out there. What's up, Fat Albert? Listen, I need a couple lighters. You got a couple lighters? You walk around with that f***ing phone. You want a f***ing lighter from this? Do you know who the f*** you are, man? Don't get your panties in a bunch. You need to step the f*** out. I'm telling you right now. I don't understand your lingo. You like it?
That is Ari Shaffir from The Amazing Racist, which was live on MySpace. Man, that really takes me back, too. It's old. Nice old internet. So here's your question. In the year of our Lord, 2026, is this racist? I have to think what you're going to answer.
I said, no, yeah, give me that point, all right. What do you mean, no? No, it's not. Because truly, that to me is the peak un-racist. No, it's not. When you get the Klansmen and the black guy, it's not because... Yeah, let's just be clear. Yeah, I want to start with the Klansmen.
When you have the Klansmen calling a black guy Fat Albert... And boy. And boy. And he's carrying a crucifix that he needs lighter fluid for or whatever.
Give me a lighter, yeah. No, because as I can tell, the 90s into the 2000s, actually probably pretty much right up to Obama, there was no racism. The racism was kind of over. Starting, I would say, post-Rodney King, pre-Obama, there was this period where race relations were as good as they've ever been.
And so the joke here is that a black guy and a white guy will be in this sketch and it's totally fine. Even that's supposed to be kind of offensive, but it was all fun and games. Whereas now, It got more real, I don't know. It seems like all of the really edgy accounts online, all the stuff they're posting is like, hey, hey, do you know about IQs and stuff? And you're like, here we go.
Hey, do you know about, do you know that in Somalia, the IQs, it's like, yeah, I know, I get what you're saying, but some black people, yeah, I know, I know what you're saying, man. But they mean it really seriously. I think, whereas there was this kind of... But is racist mean seriously?
Yeah, I think to be a real racist. Because things are racist that are funny. That's racist, but it's also hilarious, and it's satire, and it's absurd. Because, like, Yosemite Sam is absurd, but he kind of circles back around to funny because it's so, like, you know, like, this is, there's racism that is terrible, and then there's some racism that's just funny. Yeah, no. But it's damn sure racist.

Chapter 7: How does Jeff Dye feel about the role of AI in comedy?
Yeah, I agree with that, but I think that, like... I dabble in jokes because I live in joke world. I'm just trying to have a good time and be playful. But that's why people go, that's sexist. And you go, yeah, sexism's funny. It's bad to be sexist, but it can be funny. And that's kind of the point is we're taking the light out of things. So it's like, yes, racism is bad. Don't be racist.
But it's funny. And we can use jokes and make light of it. There's a nice side of these things that you can use. Yeah.
That could be the next special, The Nice Side of Racism. What do you think, to me, the case in point is that Chris Rock bit, that famous Chris Rock bit from the 90s, where he's like, you know, I love black people, but I hate. He's talking about it. What's the rest? What's that word? Yeah, where's... I don't know this bit. Where's Kramer when you need him?
Chapter 8: What insights does Jeff Dye offer on relationships and age gaps?
So he does this bit, you know, and it's very, very famous. Yeah. He does it for years. And then at some point, he stops doing it. Right. And he said he stopped doing it because the wrong kind of people were laughing a little too hard. Interesting. And it was... When he did it in the 90s, it was all good. Yeah. But then it's not that the bit changed.
It's not that white people and black people changed, but the culture changed. Yeah. To the point that he was like, you know, all right, this is no longer...
it doesn't land quite like it used to. Right, that's interesting. The times kind of change around it. Yeah, I just think that the jokes are such a good thing for all that. That's why it's weird that people get so mad at comics and me in general for making these things. You're like, well, that's kind of the point. People are going to hear these opinions.
They don't want to hear CNN talk about trans people. They don't want to hear Fox News talk about trans people. It's going to be considered so tumultuous and angry. But you'll go listen to a comic talk about it. You know, be like, oh, I get that. Like, you'll hear it if it's coming through a joke or a comedy club. Right, right. And that's kind of a fun, you know, thing for us.
Yeah, yeah, that's true. So then I guess the follow-up would be like, what's your least favorite race?
Good question. I got to go with the Filipinos, I think. That's like the nicest one. I know, yeah, yeah. It's just fresh in my brain because like Theo Vaughn always is talking about the Filipinos being the best and I just go worst. Yeah. No, I don't have a worst. I got a favorite. Mexican's my favorite. Really? Why? Yeah, their culture's the best. I'm being sincere. I go to Mexico all the time.
The Mexicans have the best sense of humor. They're never complaining. They're always working really hard. They'll do anything as far as nothing's above them or beneath them when it comes to a job or a family. They always got a nice family, family values. They like pro wrestling. They usually have two families. One they left behind. Yeah. You know, I just I really value Mexican culture. I like it.
They seem to be Grateful and happy and I really like that Wow. Yeah, you can go up to I'll give you an example cuz I used to have a travel show on NBC We go to all these different countries You can go up to a bunch of strangers in Mexico and be like there you are your pieces of shit You said you know, but try that in Russia and
If you go up to just some guy who's drinking vodka with oranges in a parking lot and he's calling pieces of shit, he'll kill you.
