So stay tuned for that. after I'm going to be joined by someone I have no business speaking to Absolutely none Stand upp comedy leegend. Birds fan and fellow parent of four Kevin Hart. We we're doing it I think you should stay tuned because I get some clarity on something that has been weighing on my mind for quite some time the top of this interview So I need you guys to lock in. And I want to get out in front of this and say that I don't know that I necessarily hold grudges, but I remember Before we get into all that, a few NGL announcements. First up, this upcoming Wednesday is one of my favorite events of the whole year So I'm wearing my shirt to see my shirt. That's right. It's shore birds We have the Team sixty two fundraiser benefiting Eagles's Autism Foundation at the Ocean Drive in Seag Isle It is a guest bartending event. Tickets are sold out But We stay authentic to the Ocean drive and what they do. So if you show up to the Ocean drive the day of the event Doors open at four PM for general admission It is a ten dollarars cover, which is the standard cover for the ocean drive throughout the summer And u You can get in, you just have to wait in line. come through. It is something that is Sheer chaos b shit crazy, an absolute dumpster fire, and it's one of the best days of the summer. So Last year we raised Just over a million dollars for the Eagles Autism Foundation. I believe it was within thirty six hours So this year between the Ocean dririve event and beer bowl We which are back to back days Again, We are hoping to raise over that. And guess what? Real ones. We're once again taping a very special episode at the Sore We need you to ask us some things So please send in all your questions about bikini waxes, having a beard, wearing flip flops, doing a podcast with your brother. when he's going to embrace cat life You'll never guess who it is. Next announcement, the special episodes just keep coming because I also might be going on a girls trip and it might be with one of your favorite former NGL guests ever Maybe because We might have to Alia Perry Voy Yai. s are work lfy For that She thesaper think that it is going to be magie A k. Un sorry. I'll give you even more hints next week, but prepare a vuort leu Dujer That's it for our announcements next time U Next up, if you're still thinking about what to get the father of your children I've got you covered with our second annual Mother's Guide to Father's Day gifts for him that are actually for you. Some of the favorites from last year were planning a special just Dad in the kids outing. No mom's allowed becausecause what better day to truly embrace Be a dad just out activities Or clothes you would like him to start wearing and a couple's vacation. Again, you want to be careful with those because If you want him to wear a banana hammock You better know that that's probably going to result in him Father's ding by fathering another child if you catch my drift Those all still stand as great gifts, but here's this year's all new guide Number one, starting out with a fan favorite couples massage That's right. Has he been saying his back hurts You know, now that I that I think of it So does mine So does the rest of my body from u Birthing children. I know it's been a minute, but I'm going to use it. How about that? Because a couple's massage means everyone wins So you just get some childcare And then you guys go together. Number two, backyard sports equipment for Dad and the kids Okay a new socceret, a pitching machine, Maybe u golf net Great choice Because then He gets outside and gets to do activities with the kids. Now The catch here is is that the idea is that you would then stay in the house and maybe get some quiet time Or again, so nobody needs any time. I would be the opposite. I would go outside and I would play with them This is a great choice for people who think that they could kick kids and dad out of the house to go do outside activities. Okay, think about it Next, number three, brand new cookware This includes, but is not limited to a brand new grill, a cast iron skillet, a pizza oven get creative with it ladies. Have you been craving a fresh rack of ribs problem solve. I' a smok That's right You could also get an arrangement of of u Barbecue spices That could also encourage him to feel inspired. Let him let him cook it up, ladies. I into that Let's encourage even the smallest interest in cooking Okay Let's sit down and eat food that someone else makes Number four, if you like a nice beverage, might I suggest an expensive bottle of wine that otherwise You would never buy for yourself This is a special occasion Host to your man Being the father of your children That's right Pour yourself a fat glass Both of you, of course, but pour your glass a little fatter Just a thought I don't necessarily Love wine But I love it for you And that's what counts Guys, while you're at it Make sure you grab those new wine glasses because When else are you going to get the stemless wine glasses? and where else are you gonna put the fancy wine Am I right do it And coming in at number five Literally any new piece of furniture you've beenying for the house That's right. If it's been in your cart compleplete it. because What's his is yours? And If it's a new sofa, You guys are definitely going to enjoy Gooching your little high knies next to each other sitting comfortably and watching anything but Love Island . I know or a new patio set so that when your kids go to bed and you need to decompress You can go outside and sit under the starsars all romantic Again, careful Too much romance, you might end up with another one. That's it for Mother's Guide to Father's Day Gifts Let me know what other gifts you get for the dads in your life that are actually for mom. Tag at NGL with Kylie, we'll share some of our favorites All right, let's keep it moving with a new edition of Can I Be Honest brought to you by Pull ups. In honor of June being National Potty Training Awareness Month, I'm going get very honest about potty training in the Kelsea House. Yeah We've had a couple accidents. We've had a lot of successes, and I think that you should focus on those, but not right now because why would we tell stories about the successes and not talk about the shit that happened in the kitchen floor It literally was a turd on the kitchen floor. I started out potty training with one of the little mini potties the ones where when they're done, you have to like bowl into the toilet and flush it It was not the way to go. That wasn't our potty training journey We quickly figured out that what we needed was a potty seat for on top of our actual potty because I thought that the way we were going to get through it was to put the potty seat downstairs so that she didn't feel like she was away from everything and that she would that we there was one day I let her watch Miss Rachel while she was sitting on the potty as if that was going to help her It didn't. She was just naked sitting in the living room So the one day I tried to ask her to go potty on that potty. I was in the kitchen doing something and she didn't want to be left alone. So we put the potty in the kitchen. She sat on it for a while, and then she got up and walked around for a minute and then promptly squatted directly next to the potty and took a dump on the floor That was the end of that So then we ended up doing potty on the actual potty with the potty seat spepecifically one that we have loved is one that has like laddered steps up to the potty so that they can do it themselves. Jason and I very much taggeding this activity It happens to end up being in a very joking manner I will try to get my kids to call for Dad In other words, when they tell me, I need to go potty, I'll say, great You go up and get started. and when you're all done Dad will come and wipe her hind knee That is key Pause when they say Dad Dad I'm all done pooping. Dad. He can't help himself. he has to go He really can't. I will tell you what I feel like some people understand this When your kids When your kids, I don't know about other people's kids. My kids have all gone through a very mom phase where it's mom this, mom that, I'm not leaving mom. It's not dad, it's mom. It's a it's not a very long phase, but it's sometimes with with certain kids, it was intense And It really helps me in this trying to trick the kids into calling for dads specifically. Sometimes they do it. obbviously, sometimes they do it on their own without being prompted Bye Jason's a sucker when they call for him because He's like, yeah, they called me not you And so it works out to my benefit And also it's adorable that he's like they call many Thank all for me And I'm like, yeah, they did Go wipe that ass just go wipe the poop off their butt Speaking of I'm all done pooping, it's been a year since the Ellie moment on the other podcast, so I figured I'd give a butt wiping update. We have two that are fully taking care of themselves Uh and Benny takes care of herself but likes to check in when it's A number two, if you will when she has to get a little more in depth. Um, I did ask the real ones when they stopped wiping their kids' butts and the consensus seemed to be kindergarten. I would say that this is the case For the most part, but much like every other freaking situation, when one kid starts doing it, the next kid decides that maybe it's my turn too. and then the next kid jumps in and they're like, hey, I can do it too. So it gets consecutively smoother, it seems. Prior to the being summoned to wipe a butt phase, we have been in the potty training trenches with three of our four And there's a few things that have consistently worked for us. Number one timers I have to set a timer. I'm busy doing other things. I'll forget, they'll forget. and then it's too far gone and a lot of times you end up running and potentially having an accident directly in front of the potty, which is a ridiculous phenomenon. The second thing that we're doing is picking up on signals. They do a lot of pePe dancing. You know exactly what I'm talking about. It's when your knees go together and you're just sort of like almost like cricketing your thighs, okay? That means they need to go to the bathroom If your kids are anything like my kids Some of them might swear Deep in their soul. They don't have to go They're lying to your face. The thing that you should always push is that We'll try. That's it. We'll just try And in line with that They can try for the next tip, which is The treat system, a little candy would be great Okay, where you can give One candy for trying two candies for doing it mayaybe four little candies for a Number two or maybe mayaybe one candy for a number one and two candies for a number two. That lines up nicely The other thing that I found invaluable O pull ups. I really love the fact that They are there for you to make sure that you're not going to end up in a messy situation because there's something not so great about when your child comes to you And they were wearing undies because your're potty training. And they say, I peed. And you say Where And they say I don't know becausecause now you're looking for a puddle and worse, When it's not a puddle on a hardwood floor or a tile floor, then you're feeling around a carpet I've been there a couple of times. PullUps avoids that. PullUPps now has a new learning layer. It's something that I wish I had when I was training the older girls. It really is a game changer. It's designed to help kids learn wet from dry. so it will actually feel wet and then it will wick the moisture away from their skin so they don't have a problem with any type of skin irritation. I'm very excited to try the Pull Ups learening layer with Fin. For any of you who are going through potty training right now, Good luck. I really think that's the only thing left there is to say It sucks I should say it stinks p intended. And that does it for C I be honest brought you by pull ups. Kevin Hart is coming up But first, let's get to this special Father'sdayay edition of Doom Scroll of the Week brought to you by seeventh generation First up, there's a trend on TikTok right now where people are referring to their dads as their current dad And the reactions have been hilarious Okay guys, so I am here with my current dad. That's supposed me just like you're currently might your phone there Carerent dad, what? That was dumb o on He said go on. I'm assuming that this is stemming from the TikTok trend that was when people were setting up a video in a similar way and saying This is my current husband Now I see the humor in now. I think it's funny. Big . I don't I don't know that he would have a reaction to this. I'm assuming he would catch it. I think he would probably say what Do we see what he does for you, Queen Emma Fine . Are you at work right now? You're at home Yes I'm in Nver Why Why were they going? You gott to pick a TV up, you sandwich you came up here. I'm recording the podcast right now, but I wanted people to really quickly hear from my current dad. Why you another one He's proud of himself for that one now That was good. You were you you were on your toes with that one. I like that Yeah. donon't have to call the doctor on that one Okay, that's it. I love you. Okay good byye Yep, there's that Oh God, I love him so much. Okay. If I convince Wyatt or Ellie to say this, I don't know I don't know how Jason would feel that I do think the girls are going to have a really good time when they're older. teenagers messing with Jason. And I think that Jason is going to be a really good sport about it. And I think he's going to play along just enough until he's had enough And I'm so excited to watch it. Oh God It's going to be fun. And the last scroll, this is a throwback to the first ever TikTok I posted And this is clearly a Qeen Emma attempt to get me to cry. Oh, I know what this clip is. D't Why are you got to bring Winnie into this I'm not looking B a winy and Buba Yeah You did that, didn't you You feel good about yourself No. Interesting U These u I love these kind of moments. I have so many pictures of Jason like on the beach with our girls outside with the girls where They are so far away that I'm sure they didn't know that I was sniping pictures of them. I love watching Jason be a dad. O girls love him more than anything on this planet U and he is so caring, he's so gentle, he's so sweet I'm And then he's also like the perfect mix of He'll throw him underto the couch. He will rough house. He will do all the ridiculous things that mom won't He also has my back. It is an absolute honor to get to parent with him And the tiny humans that we've made are I mean, I'm so biased when I say this. They're so cute Um They're sweet most of the time And uh It really is so much fun to watch him be a dad and he's so good at it He's so good at it. He truly, I think he understands that like everythingthing else went to shit. At the very least, he will always still be a dad and he puts Um, a lot of emphasis on that. Um So Howy Fatherers say to him, youah That's it for Dom Scr of the Week brought you by seventh genereneration coming up. I'm about to be joined by another father of four, Kevin Hart right after these messages With four little girls, I know sometimes we can all be a little extra. When people have to pack up three stuffies just to leave the house, make sure their purse is packed with their rocks and their markers. God only knows where they're going to draw with those, which is exactly how I know what does and doesn't need to be so So many dish soaps are loaded with dyes and artificial fragrances that do more to put on a show than actually clean. That's the wrong kind of extra. And that's where seventh generation comes in. Seventh generation's bio based power cuts through grease so I can clean my dishes and then get back to literally anything else. That's seventh generation. the cleaning power none of the extras. And seventh genereration scents are made from one hundred percent essential oils and botanical ingredients like the Clementine zest and lemongrass dish liquid with no artificial fragrances. Plus, seventh generation dish liquid is EPA saafer Choice certified, meaning they are designed to be safer for you, your family, and the environment. It's just a powerful clean that gets the job done and leaves nothing behind. Make the switch to seventh generation. It's almost Amazon Prime Day for the best deals of the year, go shop seventh generation at ammazon. com As a mom of four kids six and under, I've been deep in the potty training trenches, but luckily I have learned a thing or two, you know, a turt on your kitchen floor will really snap you into reality. We did have the absolute joy of having Wyatt lead the pack so that everybody else could follow suit and learn from what she was doing and want to be like their big sister. That was very helpful I've also learned my secret weapon is pull ups training pants. I've been using pull ups the entire potty training experience. I love that they're there to make sure that this isn't a messier process than it needs to be. And now my secret weapon has its own secret weapon. Pull U upps just introduced the new learearning Layer and I'm all about this. It's designed to help kids learn the difference between feeling wet and dry. I'm so looking forward to using this with Finn because I think it's going to make it even easier Plus, it's progress without the stress of the mess.

U so I was gonna to let that one I was gonna I was going accept any excuse. You gotta let a slide? Yeah, I will. Eespecially if it's a gift, you're right, a gift.. You have to put it on. you have to go with it You cannot judge me I'm wearing something that came from someone else's kind gesture Okay that shows that in return I'm meeting said gesture with kindness. Sure. by giving you vis a visual sighting of me wearing the thing that you thought was very nice. That's what I'm doing here. Okay. That'sair. Here's what I will say. The other times that I've seen you at games You have been fully decked out. I respect it Eagles and like good good eagle shit.

You may not even know whereere you John supppply? Who you I'm not I'm not giving up my secrets. Let's just say that when it's time to the plug to step out When time to step out I make some heavy calls. Okay. I just I I'm not kidding when I saw the ceine jacket, I had a moment of like That's interesting I had I'm not kidding. I had a moment of I've held onto this for five years now I've literally thought to myself There's no way he knew who we were playing And just made you go, like real that's real frustration. Look at that. Would you look at that So I just I had to get that off of my chest. I'm glad you did That's what this is about.. I wouldn't wanted you to do anything else Right? We're here to be honest with one another. So if it's something you feel or feeling that you think you have and that you're holding on to, there's no time to tell me. Get it all off your chest. Yeah, I get it But I'm glad that we cleared that up. It feels I feel better now As if you have any responsibility to answer to me, but I feel better now. Thank you for that. I appreciate it. I'm happy that you feel better. think this is This sets the record for a new opportunity. It does For evolvement between you and I that when we see each other next, you're not coming in with this Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like this It was a little It was a little. Yeah, it's a filling, me, okay. I can't hold myself taking his hand. Why? Well, he had on you know what the fucky war? To the Saints Eles game. are. E are Seline New Orleans Saints jacket. Yes. Are you sure theyd make those? I don't know. but but I'm assuming that it was a gesture on their be at. I don't fuck what them sense. I'm just. That literally sums it up and you're just over there minding your business. in stylish. styl. We'ar in a completely different palette It God Who the fuck am I? right to judge you wearing a completely different palette Yes. Okay. I'm just so glad we got to the bottom of this. This is good. Now that I know that you did not do that Really out of malice. We can speak about the Eagles truly and wholeheartedly. The Philly fans know We can be a little misunderstood Absolutely What do you think the best part about us is The best part is our reputation. Um The reputation of VillidoVE fans is the best part because you know whether whether we are or we aren't The fact that the idea is out there of how crazy Philadelphia Eagles fans are. Like, you know, there's a there's a crazy stigma attached to us that makes other fans when they step into our stadium aware and a little, you know, just a little timid. Hey, don't wear be careful wearing other jerseys around Eagles fans or hey when you go like what we're not going to do, we're not going to over celebrate because these fans get a little They get rowdy, right? And you just don't want to putut ourselves in a bad situation. You know, they got jail cells They got a jail cell in the state, which is the only time. Now granted, that's not there anymore. It's nobody it used to be. And how would do you know about that? If I recall Are you asking if I've been locked up in The other podcast, I do believe you mentioned spending a a little time in the vet jail cell. And as a person that has been in that jail cell, I'll tell you that it. I mean look, I never I never went down there and had to stay, but there have been moments where my behavior C Warranted a timeout. Yeah. L just like, hey, we want you to come down here and talk to us. And then there was like several threats after But I mean, look, that's in my younger years. That's when I was young and crazy, right? E since, you know, because we're being honest, E since I became this well manicured version of myself, I haven't been down there. I don't go down there No more No. No I was say then, you almost threw me in jail I think that as a Philadelphia Eagles fan, It's kind of a rite of passage It's pretty cool. I feel like that's a badge of honor that you should wear Yeah, as long as they don't, as long as they don't put your face On the On the wall, like in your band, it's cool. Right you got to go down there to have a conversation, they got to explain some things to you like like they Had to do it with me a couple of times. That's fine A good talking to time What a good couple times what a good talking to? No. Hey, hey, man What are you doing up there Come on. Were you in the seven hundred level? I mean, we're talking about a different time in my life. Right? something about a different time All right, we' Seats were seats. You understand what I'm saying? And It wasn't really me, it was a company that I was with. I think that clears up a lot Okay, guilt by association Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not I'm never the guy doing the stuff, you know? I'm with the guy. I what or guys? No. One of my favorite sights to see in the entire world is a little kid in an Eagles jersey who does something like, I don't know, let's say flip off an opposing fan Would you agree that that's raising your children rights? think is the only way to raise your child. And you're not teaching your child proper fanfare, right? or pro proper behavior while supporting his or her team, then you're not doing your job as a leader My son is a die Hard English fan because he was taught that. he was taught that Early on, there's nothing else. that exists outside of that gream Um, you know The chant from the chant to the song to aggression. My son has it all. and he loves it, right? L is it My son barks in people's face when Eagles games are on. He understands all the terms move the change first down. Yeah. Yeah. You know that is pick six. We need a ball, dad, F ball. Lse ball, dad. Yeah, we get active in this household. You get very active It's funny I grew up in a house with a man who I still remember if someone fumbled It was an all out Fall. And then my dad would like fall over and tackle me. It was like one of the great joys of playing of watching Eagles foootball That's right, That's right. Lose ball. Where's the ball No. Exactly. No! Bum's on it. Who's on it? That's us. That's us. Yeah. Yeah Everyone starts more int t it. Pointing the other way. Yes. you need it. It's necessary And I think that's That's great It's a great household, It's great energy in a household. it's necessary, right? It shouldn' be frowned upon. It should be supported Um Do your kids also know the expression The cowboys kids know the expression, fuck the cowboys for life. They' good kids. Good kids. Yeah good kids. Great kids. raaised right. Great. Seriously, like I'm talking ground up Yeah, G One of our listeners recently asked me how I would feel if one of my daughters, we have four One of my daughters ended up dating a Dallas fan And I said that I actually couldn't fathom that that I think that I've raised them right. And that when they start dating, that they would know better than to date a Dallas fan. That's tough. I mean, I think I think by the way, whoever said that, like whoever even raised the question should be put inuck up Yeah, that's a that's this that's that's the real problem. Y levels of thinking because that thking shouldn't exist Um, I mean, I'll be honest with you. I think u I think you gotta disown your kid I think you gota You have no other choice. No. No, no, no, no, no. Like its it's love doesn't live here anymore You know? Yeah got her You guys a lot of things that I will love my kids through. Marrying a Dallas Cowboys fan. That's s where draw the l No, I don't like it. nothing canan't have it Yeah. Now since we're talking a little bit about our kids, I'm very excited to hear more about your new Audible original. make me angry. It's out now so everyone can go and listen. First of all loveove the title Y kids make me angry That pretty much sums up parenthood Well, we're here to be honest. We are I'm not I mean, why lie? Kids do make me angry. Yeah. And I think I think voiceing the frustration and mirroring that with humor while at the same time being very transparent about your like world of parenting and your growth within it is special. And I mean, look, there's a there's a stigma on black fathers and, you know, the lack thereof. And I think it's important to highlight the good fathers, right? So that that stigma eventually gets erased and you motivate other good fathers to be better fathers and those that may not be will wantna be, right? becausecause they'll hear more people voicing, the amazing side of parenting and all things good attached to it And to do that, you also have to be honest And that's where the kids make me angry. That's where that component comes in because you're not going to go through parenting and be happy the entire way. You will get to your tippet points. you will get frustrated. You will get overwhelmed. But what you do when those things present themselves, well that's what makes the good parents, good parents. How do you adjust? How do you maintain a level of communication, understanding, friendship, good rapport while at the same time, energizing the love so of the love grows between you and your kids and still balancing the world of respect So the respect is never compromised. There's so much that goes into parenting, so, so much. And you know, the information is key. You have people out there that are looking for it, that don't know where to find it. Books like this, they service that. And that's what I'm hoping I do. I'm hoping people listen to it, love it, but more importantly relate to it Laugh at it Um and also apply it. 's I'm looking for him in his book Wow, by the way, how good was that? That was outstanding. I mean, like you can say a lot of things, but saying it like that. You just nail that. Yeah, like I get it I get it. How do you not go listen now after them After that And I'm just being honest I'm now you now that hard As most of you probably know by now, I recently adopted a puppy, and let me tell you, it's been a wild ride.

But then you see your younger kids and it's like, wow, man, I miss when my older two were this age. Oh my God It's so much fun. they were fun.

Nothing More rewarding than that Um But I do think that my favorite ag is Of course are the younger ages and you realize that they grow up so fast. So fast, she blink an eye and they're eighteen and twenty one And you're like, what the fuck happened When When did it happen. Now you talk about some of the different phases of parenting in kids make me angry. I very much related to what you call the head thumping phase. Yes, yes. Can you explain that a little bit The head bumping phase is really important. It's like the phase where you where you pretty much let your child bump their goddamn head, right? Like this is this is a child.s it's Everybody wants to protect. Everybody wants to prevent Stop no, don't do that. please, don't do. Oh my God, they're getting exit, G get him, goo get them.

Let that baby touch that hot stove You know what's going to happen next time't you get next to the stove? She's gonna freeze up because she don't want to get burnt again, okay? Sometimes the lesson comes with a hard piece of pain All right, I embrace it. air dumping stage. Go in. you go right in. You want to keep on God themn standing up on that table. I hope You learn her back I told you. We're up today U this this has happened many times in our house. so much so that I've gotten to a point where sometimes I look at my older two who are six and five And I say That's a choice you're going to make Okay And that's That's that's it. And then they make the choice. I have six, five Three and one Oh no. Yes. All girls No brakes. Oh my god. No, I didn't. o You're right in a window you're in the window of the baby out.

That's another fucking do a tour, film a special. I'm a chill out. Yeah, I need to figure out material. Go do material, get another tour, film a special. That That's a crazy time period. Yeah. I mean, are they Are they all extremely close O are they in pairs U They're in pairs, but the pairs switch up The pairs switch up It switches up every couple months, really And our youngest right now is just she wants to be involved U But like this morning alone, she was trying to be involved with the big girls and Homegirl took one step back and went down two steps just like b boom, b boom. luckily. She went ass first, not head first. and are or. Let me tell you, they're built different Younger kids just Younger kids are the worst because they just want to do shit that they can't do And they are. Well, they're also pissed when you tell they can't. Yeah, Furious Yeah. She just figured out she can scream at people What you mean you want to pump the gas? You can't pump gas get in the car the goddamn nozzle down. Don't drink that. Oh yeah. Yeah. ye. She's yeah, she's she's gonna be the toughest. And she's also the tallest So I'm pretty sure that her body has said the only way to survive this shit is to get bigger. Oh God. It got so bad in our house. Our three year old made a choice. I was like, you're making that choice? And she was like, Yup, I am. and then she ate shit. And u R before right before she ate shit, she gave me a little attitude And so our five year old looked right down here and goes, that's karma And I was like, Have I said that too much? m Have I been like Hey, that's the universe punishing you for being a jerk to your mother you know what? Wit t wait till they start to throw out your your accidental cus worord because they don't know it's a cs worord. You know, My youngest son Uh on the tennis court. we was playing And he was like, he hit a shot And I said, that's out, out of bounds. He goes, bullshit. Really? Aen. But But you got her res. But it was correct. It was used correctly. we celebrated it, but then I had to explain to him why he couldn't say it. Sure, can't say that. Like by the way Good job But you nailed that. R. But also don't fuck and say that again. Don't you say that Okay, but if you were to say it Just like you say. That's how you say My oldest daughter She's like now because she's twenty one, she tries to curse around me like more comfortably and I check her differently because I'm like, I'm still dead Don' I still won't say the F word in front of my father. I'm thirty four years old. I don't play. She tries it She tries it. My oldest daughter is like, God damn dad Shit, I don't want to drive there. You too hey Yeah stop trying you you're trying to softly pitch out your cs words to see how far I'm let you go. Stop doing it. thirird tester. She's floating them Yes It's not it's not landing . I'm telling you I still apologize to my dad if I drop an F wor in front of him. I'll say the F word to my mom all day. and then as soon as my dad goes, whoa, I go, Okaykay, you're eavesdropping. That's rude. He's in the same room Poor dad. Ah God, poor dad. Now of your four kids, haveave your oldest seen any of your comedy specials Yes Yes Do they get any kind of veto power when it comes to telling stories Now, I mean, like You know My oldest daughter has input, L Motoro is like dad, you can't talk about me anymore in any of your comedy. likeike you don't you cannot do it anymore I don't want you talking about you checked me. So I have to had to like respect that. And listen to that Um But in earlier in my earlier times like When I was heavy and dad mode, all I knew was you guys. L there was nothing else for me to talk about You were my day to day. So that's why That was heavy. with the kid jokes or the kid conversation because that's all I had. at that time. So as a comedian, you only can Like make jokes about your daily experiences or your d know. Y, so at that point It was all kids all the time. but Now now that I'm like Kind of back to the raw version of myself. they don't They don't have a lot of input. it's more like, whoa Dads Dad's cussing alive Well he's doing what we're not allowed to Yeah, dad's letting them fly a lot these days. It's like that That's what it is now Now I mentioned it earlier, but you just did the roast. And As someone who has relatively thick skin, I'm still surprised when anyone agrees to do that Have you always been good at essentially not giving a fuck what people say? Yes, Yes Is that the Pilly side of you or Absolutely What do you mean? Yeah You The thickest skin comes in a marriage. You know how much shit you gota Igore what your wife says on the day to the day. Yeah gotot it, gotot it, gotot it gota gotta got it. That's why you're here. Yes, they got it, gota gota gota gota got it Absolutely Absolutely J eat it just eat I practice on it daily. I'll say coming in Philadelphia, man. I mean, I was raised I was raised with hard hitting humor Like that's all me and my friends knew and it wasn't It wasn't soft. It was hard. Like we We went in, we went in We went in about everything, like nothing was off limits, noody was safe. So that was my environment of funny So' a rose, a rose has nothing is nothing compared to that He's not even close. So your friends from growing up could still get you way better than that What They didn't even grace on the surace but if I'll put you on a street corner talking to me and my friends When I was in high school, o my God. Are you sell there? Anybody This you might be sad that you signed back in for this that we lost you there for a minute. You came back for this because I do have to bring up I always say that I'm a I'm a bug person. U It's this is random that I need to ask you about it, but I do have a vivid memory of watching on a late show when they brought in a snake I don't do I don't do uh I don't do well with Animals, insects, but I don't do all with none of it. Do you have pets Yeah, my dogs. That's it My dog Okay. I don't fuck with other people's. animals, pets or whatever. because you don't speak animals. So like, I don't I don't know the temperament. I don't know the movie, but I do know that if they decide to have a bad day You can easily be the product of that bad day. So I want to slow away. I don't if I'm going to go like Let me let it happen The way that God intended it. I'm not going help it. No. You're not going to hear that a eagle got me or Kev He got choked out by a buall constrictor or Right. Rattlesnake got it. Like I'm never you never going to be in an environment where that stuff can happen am I will say I'm unsure which late night host it was, but I do remember it is the most serious I've ever seen you. Yeah. I don' I don't play that. becausecause you looked right at him and you said, I'm not kidding. Yeah, I'm not playing. No I'm serious and I'm out And I'm already sure you leftgh I was at a golf course the other day Two foxes. ran across the Gulf. I've never seen a fox in person I left the course It' not safe here. What time day was that? It was like nine AM. Tw foxes. came shooting across The fairway. And I said They're probably running from something Me too. Yeah it's so. If you don't think I'm going take that as a sign And I'm going to get the fuck out of here. I'm out. They said must. They said R And who will m to not listen It's clearly a mountain ling back then. I'm out here. I got the golf cart. I left My first all was playing, I love I would say I don't do animals The thought of The thought of what could Fox be running from Yes the only logical explanation Bound line It's a mount lion It's gotta be Wh? I was in, I was at Sherwood. It's a country cllub N LA Two foxes shot across the goddamn fairway I'm not I of term Guys, put the clubs in the car. We actually have to leave now. Yeah, I'm gonna go. You guys can stay if you want And I guess I'll write letters to your families if I don't hear from you guys in a couple of hours Clearly a mount line stuming. You're about to get mauled Yeah, think about it, L. When have you seen foxes just randomly in a pair Not chasing each other, but just running That is weird. And what I will give you is that's still a little early in the morning. So there's a chance that it was okay. but The fact that it was in broad daylight is the part where I would draw the line. Yeah No, no, no. becausea I'm also not going to get bit by a rabbid fox. I'm out of here. Yeah. No, I actually, I condone that decision, not that you need my approval, but I think that that was I don't know that the mountain lion was logical, but I do see how you got there Whatever it was You stick around to find out. S're Fx. It can scare me. Same mindset in my opinion. That's so fair Yeah she getes. Now which do you hate more bugs or Snakes both equally You don't discrimin No, doesn't matter It doesn't matter. Okay. If it does not have a voice, if it doesn't have a voice where I can So you can't tell me if we're cool. Yes, I'm out of there. Okay, evenven other people's dogs. Im Out of there I'm not saying I'm not joking So so just for instance here, I have a very large dog. She's like a hundred pounds. She's real friendly though Okay That would be a no Hey, Cf, we got a dog. You cool with dogs? No with my dogs Yeah, you guys want to put your dog up? Oh it friendly, man. All right, well
