SPEAKER_3 (0:06)

Trained by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Yeah, part of it was rolling. Adam Ray, my man. Great to see you. Guest of the year, Kil Tony, how's it feel?

Adam Ray (0:23)

Feels great.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

Did you get a belt or anything? Some sort of a cup?

Adam Ray (0:26)

I should have.

Joe Rogan (0:26)

Just some sort of a cup, like a Stanley cup.

Adam Ray (0:28)

Tony, always short changing the gifts.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

That motherfucker.

Adam Ray (0:31)

That was the last time I saw you, I think.

Joe Rogan (0:32)

You should get a jacket. That's what it should be.

Adam Ray (0:34)

That's not a great idea.

Joe Rogan (0:35)

That's a great idea.

Adam Ray (0:36)

We made these for the end of the Dr. Phil tour, which by the way, we have our very last one at the Wiltern on December 16th, if anyone wants to.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

Have you ever had Dr. Phil on as a guest?

Adam Ray (0:45)

Yes. Remember for the Netflix special?

Joe Rogan (0:46)

Oh, that's right. Yeah.

Adam Ray (0:49)

It was so funny. We were in the green room. I met him like an hour before and he goes, he goes, no, it's your show, but I'm going to fuck with you. And I'm dressed as him and I go, well, I know you better than you know yourself, motherfuckers, strap in. And he was like, oh shit. And he was dying laughing. But the last time I saw you, I think I was Tony, right? At the mothership.

Joe Rogan (1:07)

Yeah. The difference is like doing it on your show when you're doing the Dr. Phil show.

Adam Ray (1:12)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:12)

Yeah, that's a different thing.

Adam Ray (1:13)

I felt oddly, you know, the whole show is improvised. So it's a wild thing to do an unscripted show with somebody you have no rapport with.

Joe Rogan (1:22)

Right.

Adam Ray (1:23)

When I've had...

Joe Rogan (1:24)

And you're doing an impression of him.

Adam Ray (1:25)

Totally. So I'm trying to go, I think everything I'm going to do is hunky dory with him. But like, I don't know if I'm going to press the wrong button. Like at one point, I think he said something where I go, I go, well, marriage is tough. I go, but we keep it fresh in the bedroom, right? And he goes, okay. Well, you watch yourself. And I go, we don't use butt plugs. But he was such a... He rolled with everything, man.

Joe Rogan (1:50)

I'm good friends with his son.

Adam Ray (1:52)

Jordan?

Joe Rogan (1:54)

Jay.

Adam Ray (1:54)

I've got to know Jordan, who kind of helped facilitate the whole thing. He kind of got in his ear and was like, this thing is pretty awesome and it's making you...

Joe Rogan (2:05)

Making both of them famous.

Adam Ray (2:06)

Totally. And I'm just glad that... Because you never know, I could have two days in gotten a letter that was just like, enough's enough.

Joe Rogan (2:16)

Easily.

Adam Ray (2:17)

I actually entered the Netflix special with showing his signed contract to the camera being like, look, no cease and desist. But you never know.

Joe Rogan (2:26)

He's a really good guy.

Adam Ray (2:27)

Yeah. And laughing at yourself is such a... Man, you know what I'm saying?

I started talking about this on stage, where it's just like the people that I am friends with that aren't comics that I'll be in hangs with, that if I bust their balls and they get a little weird about it, it's like, oh, man, you're a bummer not only for right now in the hang, but just this bleeds into other facets of your life. You got to be being self-deprecating and within context, obviously, if someone's just making fun of you. Just being mean. Just being mean. There's a difference.

Joe Rogan (3:01)

There's a difference between being mean and being funny.

Adam Ray (3:02)

Yeah. But like Tony, for example, like doing Tony on Kill Tony, I remember I was in Portland or in Eugene at my buddy's club, Olsen Run Comedy Club. Shout out, great club. And I'm there and I tell the story about how Shane and I, the Biden Trump thing came together. Because a buddy of mine asked me, he's like, you and Shane must have been best friends like 10 years ago. We literally, that was probably the sixth time we've ever talked to each other. So we're getting to know each other in full makeup for two plus hours. That's a weird way to build a fucking friendship.
