And now here's my conversation with Anthony Jezzelnick.

So then we quit and then during the pandemic. Well, no, Comedy Central gave us a deal And then that ended And then when the pandemic hit, I was like, let's do something And went to all things comedy Yeah, yeah And eventually just after 250 episodes I was like, I can't do this anymore Well, just because it was too much We never had guests. It just started to feel like the same thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And when the, I was telling them when the clip people got involved, where if I said anything controversial, it became like a clip out of context. And I was just sick of that. That it was like, you're just doing a podcast just to say the most like infuriating shit you can. Right, right, right.

And, uh, and I was, I was ready to go. And they, and, and then you would have to answer to the fallout of whatever the stuff.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. No, I know. That's, that is, I think that that happens where when you talk for so long,

we have to talk for a long time. You end up

saying stuff that you don't even like believe or, you know, just to. Yeah, you like have to go

on a rant to make it entertaining. They're like, we like it when Anthony's angry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And there was a lot to be angry about. And then it's like, why am I, why am I speaking on this at all?

But to not say anything also, and also, for like why am I why am I speaking on this at all but to not say anything also

for like for your anger to become like the hoop that you jump through as a trained poodle you know

that kind of thing it's like anger is not fun you know and to like be that the thing like hey do the

thing do the thing and I would come to the podcast in a good mood yeah yeah talk to my friend and talk to the producer and then sit down they're like rolling and i would just get mad and i was like this is not healthy would they would they bait you with stuff to try and no it was all i could do whatever i want but i would just get riled up and it was i think it was just being sick of the format oh Oh. And just doing the same thing every week.

And I was on the road.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.
