Tyler Fischer (0:16)

Is there a left or right here, or does it matter?

Joe Rogan (0:17)

No, it's all mono. What's cracking, brother?

Tyler Fischer (0:20)

Oh, yeah, let me just get a little confidence here. I'm so small, this is like a large coffee to me.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

They'll make you pee, they'll make you pee. That's one thing Nespresso is doing.

Tyler Fischer (0:32)

I'm peeing right now, dude. I'm just going to do the Biden, just let it out.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

Ari peed in that seat three or four times yesterday.

Tyler Fischer (0:39)

Yesterday?

Joe Rogan (0:39)

Yeah, he pissed into Bud Light cans. He's so disgusting.

Tyler Fischer (0:45)

Ari Shaffir?

Joe Rogan (0:45)

Oh, yeah, every time he's here.

Tyler Fischer (0:47)

Oh, I didn't know he's here.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

He pees into things.

Tyler Fischer (0:49)

I'm trying to get him to move here.

Joe Rogan (0:51)

He's not going to. He's a New York rat.

Tyler Fischer (0:53)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:54)

But he's here all the time. I mean, he might as well live here.

He's here like four or five times a year.

Tyler Fischer (0:59)

Yeah, just good. I mean, it's good enough.

Joe Rogan (1:02)

He should. He should move here.

Tyler Fischer (1:04)

He's so funny, man. I love watching him at the Comedy Cellar because he's one of the guys that just fucking goes for it.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Yeah, he definitely goes for it. It's got him in a lot of trouble.

Tyler Fischer (1:16)

It all comes out in the wash though, right?

Joe Rogan (1:18)

Well, if you're talented, yeah, yeah, and he's definitely talented. He's just a wild boy.

Tyler Fischer (1:23)

I watch the crowd when he's on, because I like to see the crowd just slowly kind of go. He's working through stuff. He gets messy. I like that.

They put me and him on at the late, late shows now. In the Cellar? Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:39)

What is New York scene like these days?

Tyler Fischer (1:42)

Well, I'm here now. We'll say that.

Before I moved here, I was a 60-year-old Jamaican woman. Look what Texas does to you.

Joe Rogan (1:56)

It gets you in its bones. It's just a fun thing to be. It's fun to be a Texan.

Tyler Fischer (2:00)

Someone the other day on the street said, it goes, you look like Kid Rock, fuck Zach Elifanakis. I was like, that works.

Joe Rogan (2:07)

Yeah, that tracks. How long have you been out here now?

Tyler Fischer (2:13)

Oh, like two weeks.

It's like a dream. This has been a weird, including this, it's all a weird dream.

Joe Rogan (2:18)

How long have you been doing stand up now?

Tyler Fischer (2:21)

I mean, I got on stage when I was 17 or 18 in high school, started doing improv and stand up on stage. That's almost 20 years.

Joe Rogan (2:27)

Oh, wow.

Tyler Fischer (2:28)

And then I went to college. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was failing on a high school. I needed like a B to pass.

And I was friends with the acting teacher. We would drink together.

Joe Rogan (2:41)

What?

Tyler Fischer (2:41)

Public school, brother. Public school.

Joe Rogan (2:43)

Yeah.

Tyler Fischer (2:44)

We would drink together and smoke and I thought if I take his class, he's got to give me an A or I can get him sent to jail probably for all this bad behavior.

And so I took this acting class and I got on stage and he pulls me aside. Like day one, he goes, this is what you need to do with your life.

Joe Rogan (3:02)

Wow.

Tyler Fischer (3:03)

Stop drinking, stop smoking. I was like in a gang. I was growing. Yeah, I was a nightmare kid. People think I'm just this nice little guy. I was a fucking monster and getting on stage and I got all that energy out.

And it's what I've been doing every day since.

Joe Rogan (3:20)

Wow. That's cool that someone recognized that because most of the time they don't.

Tyler Fischer (3:26)

Takes one person. It's insane.

Joe Rogan (3:28)

It takes one person and you know, that one person literally can change your life because you're in this part of your life where you're not, you don't know what the fuck you're going to do.

And then someone gives you a direction and they say, hey, you're really good at this. This is your thing.

Tyler Fischer (3:43)

That's it.

Joe Rogan (3:44)

Oh my God. I found my thing. That day you go home, you're like, I found my thing.
