This video explores the concept of authenticity versus social masks in human interaction, using comedian Brian Holtzman's interview as a case study. Holtzman discusses how people typically wear masks in social situations, constantly pretending and acting rather than being themselves, which makes genuine authenticity appear disturbing or foreign to most people. The conversation highlights how individuals who are comfortable being themselves often challenge social norms, creating discomfort for those accustomed to social facades. The host reflects on how this dynamic affects both the authentic individual and those accustomed to social masking, demonstrating the tension between personal authenticity and societal expectations.

ALAN VOLTS ---MAY 13Added:
Well, it's it's um it's time to do a live and um our dear friends Alan Vultz and Peggy Winters are no longer with us on this um particular particular um broadcast. I'm Diddoko and um I'm joined by at this particular point in time someone I've done interviews with before. They've gone ary. there's something wrong with him. And his name is Brian Holtzman. Uh Brian, welcome to the show.
>> I'm glad to be here. It's been quite some time since we last discussed uh your personal uh uh your work and some of the music that you've put out and I just wanted to get an update and and and uh you know I've always admired your uh ability to cross different cultural aspects of your music and to be able to to uh bridge those gaps in different people's uh feelings about music. So, uh I'm great to be here. I I I'm kind of I'm kind of excited to be here because uh I didn't expect to be here.
That's very funny. And you know, I didn't expect you to not have a mustache. There's something oddly and peculiar. I feel like it's changed your voice in a way. Uh you seem to talk in a certain way that's not the same as you used to talk. And I I have to think that must be because you no longer have a mustache.
I don't think the two are related. I just I I wanted to change. I wanted to change uh how I appeared. I wanted to change how I shaved. I wanted to change, but I don't think that had anything to do with the the change in the voice. The voice has always been constant. Uh just like your music.
And uh uh I can always grow it back. I can always grow it back. But I I wanted a change and I thought a change was what what I wanted. So I got what I wanted.
>> This is the thing that's very strange about you. Peculiar in a way that you're able to talk for a little while and then you you laugh you laugh at yourself and and some people think that that's some sort of madness. Uh some people think that you might be just enjoying life.
But for for me, I I'm I'm I'm crossed between not knowing who Brian is and then look at your face coming closer to the the camera. It is as if you are aggravating an audience. Are you aggravated yourself?
>> Oh, no. This is uh this is what you call 0.0 ego.
You're looking at a a gentleman or a person or an earthling if you will who is completely comfortable on earth communicating heartbeating full of love and empathy and gratitude and it comes off as a foreign object as a mental condition because that's not what people usually are accustomed to.
We're accustomed to masks. People must have a mask. If you ever went to a cocktail party or a gathering, people are constantly in masks. They're masking. They're pretending. They're acting. They're assuming.
They can't be themselves.
But I'm myself, and this is why it's so terribly disturbing.
>> No, it's disturbing is your internet connection. It It seems to go in and out and and and it's vibrating in a rockous way. Why don't you have good internet?
What's wrong with you?
There's nothing wrong with me. I don't I don't choose to pay for a subscription of internet of television.
I don't choose to pay for outside stimulation, propaganda, negative, negative, negative, negative, negative, negative. Everybody's talking, but nobody's saying A GODAMN THING.
NOBODY'S SAYING A GODDAMN THING.
>> But maybe you just don't understand what they're saying. Maybe what they're saying is something you don't understand. I like top.
>> I thought I was going to I thought I was going to interview you.
>> Go ahead. Interview.
>> Why are you interviewing me? You're the pop star.
>> We want to hear about you.
>> Well, well, I I want to tell you about me, Holtzman. I have to read these super chats now. What is it that you want to know about me? I've I've been on your show maybe how many times have I done your show? Maybe two or three times. And every time I do your show, there's something about you that tries to deconstruct me that makes me very agitated. I think you remember sometimes I've left the room. I left the interview. I can't leave this interview because it's my interview. But if you interview me, maybe you could leave the interview.
Oh, I'll leave the interview, but not that before I tell you that dead air Austin is back on my YouTube channel.
We're up to episode >> We've done two episodes so far. We're up to episode number three. It hasn't been uh produced yet. Uh, these episodes are released every Sunday morning uh about 9:00 a.m.
uh Pacific Standard Time. And we're having a lot of fun. It seems to be very popular. People are getting the items of interest. They're enjoying the weather reports. I'm going to have my first guest.
who is going to be our first guest >> uh on episode number three, which I'm very excited about, and she's a Moroccan, and she's the uh the general manager of the apartment complex where I reside. So, I'm very excited to talk to Maya about some of the uh some of the things that come up, the important problems perhaps or situations dealing with a large community of apartment complex dwellers.
So, you live in an apartment and and in LA you live in a what would you call that?
>> A mobile home park.
>> A mobile home park. But you have your own mobile home, don't you? Yes. And so, what does it feel like to be in Austin where the weather is so humid and deprived and um uh less consequential than uh perhaps some weather that's by a beach or so.
I'm fine with the weather. I don't uh I don't care what the weather is, where the weather is or what the weather's doing. It has no effect on me whatsoever. It's going to be hot. It's going to be cold. It's going to rain.
It's going to snow. It's going to be windy. It's going to be calm.
And that's just the way it is. It's weather and it's constantly changing, >> right? Yes. And you enjoy um food at a uh local um I think you described it as a a diner. You enjoy diner food. And beautiful Thai restaurant.
>> I have a beautiful Thai restaurant called Thai Taste. I have a a beautiful diner called Jims. I have a beautiful Indian restaurant called the TH Tanoui Lounge. I have a beautiful Italian restaurant called Medel.
I am uh very happy very happy with the the restaurants in my area and uh I'm just I I guess I'm just thrilled to be alive. You have a zest for life. I people enjoy you because you are infectious. There's something about you that makes you think that you have an infection.
Hot.
>> I'm sorry. The pollen is really really off the charts. Uh uh pollen does bother me but the weather doesn't but uh excuse me for that. It's just the pollen the pollen count is very high right now.
>> Can I suggest something for your pollen allergies? Uh some stinging nettle.
Stinging nettle. It's an extract. You can also get mullen to pull uh mucus from your lungs. But more importantly, what do you think of this haunt virus or whatever it's called? It's hontis virus or something. What do you think of it?
Well, I don't think much of it. I wasn't on the boat. I don't go on boats. I've never been on a cruise. Uh, they always say those cruise ships are are germ factories to begin with. They got 5,000 3,500 people coming on the ship, leaving another 3,500 coming in with all different uh hygiene habits. I mean, what do you expect? They got uh, you know, you've got problems. You've got problems on top of problems. If that's your idea of a vacation to be on a ship with 3,500 idiots floating around in the water, that's your business.
>> What type of person goes on those things? I I know you said uh someone that's um kind of an idiot, but what do you mean?
>> I'm sorry about that.
>> Now, why would you why would you pretend why would you pretend to be sneezing like that? What were you trying to communicate to me? What? What is wrong with you? What What are you doing?
Oh, I see. So, now you don't want to go along with the bit. So, you want to break up the interview and you want to make it worse. So, that's your job, I guess. Huh?
>> Well, I'm trying to improve this presentation by adding things and you want to, you know, you want to discount them.
>> Is that where we're going here?
>> Is that where we're going here? Now your voice has changed.
>> Is that why we're going here?
>> I guess so. I don't know. It's >> Yeah, I guess so. I guess uh you're not as a you're not the skilled interviewer that you think you are.
>> I make no assumptions.
>> I thought the sneezing was good. I thought the sneezing was good, but evidently you decided to just blow that all out of the water and say, "Why were you pretending to sneeze? Why were you pretending to sneeze?"
>> So, here we are at a dilemma. You know, it's amateur hour all over again. Huh?
How do we make this great or how do we [ __ ] it up?
>> The only reason I mentioned the sneezing was so you could double down and tell me that you really are sneezing. I was trying to give you something.
>> That's not how it was taken. Evidently, that's not how it was taken. And now you got me excited. Now you got me excited.
And now you got me, you know, you blew the cover off the whole [ __ ] thing.
There's something very uneasy about you.
I mean, I I don't know.
>> It's going real well. It was going real well. And you just you just want to sabotage your own platform.
>> Maybe I do and maybe I don't. But it's up to me to do what I want to do. And what I want to do is interview you.
>> It's up to me to respond honestly. And it's up to me to respond honestly.
>> Were you being honest when you was sneezing?
>> No.
>> No, you weren't. So, what do you what do you have to say about that?
>> I don't want to talk about it anymore.
>> Okay, I got you against the wall and you bowed you bowed down to the the great sneezing idea, but those glasses are are are not the glasses you normally wear.
So, that's what I'm trying to get at.
You know, your your mustache is no longer you're wearing glasses that you don't normally wear, and then you're acting this way. I I feel like this is a guy that loves marshmallows. Am I right?
I think I struck a nerve. I think that is something you enjoy and then that that's why you enjoy Easter so much. Not religiously, but because of the marshmallows, because of the beeps, etc. Now, you you you're I don't know if you're playing hard to get. I don't know what you're playing. You could be playing with yourself, but I I I urge you to come forward and tell me what what is in your mind right now.
This is what I get for pointing out your fake sneezing. This is This is uneasiness. I feel like I'm at a gas station and no one will let me use the gasoline pump.
There's no reason to be at the gas station unless you're using the gasoline pump. You can get snacks and treats anywhere like 7-Eleven.
Any questions for Brian? God knows mine aren't working.
People are very excited. Uh, Alien Militia says, "Excited Holtzman is the best." Uh, someone else says, "Lol, hellool." Brian Holtzman is the man from Michael Owens Live. What do you have to say to your fans? Because you do have fans. You have lots of fans. You give out stickers. People get weak in the knees when they see you. What? What? Wh why why do you feel this way?
Is this because I got off the phone earlier today? I got off the phone. Does that Does that chop your hide? How does that make you feel?
Let's talk about Peter Newman.
Let's talk about James Trip. Let's talk about Al Berman. Let's talk about uh Steve Marshall. Tell me what you want to talk about.
Oh, maybe I should be quiet and then let's see what happens then.
Why do you flex your lips like that? Are you massaging your lips on the other lips?
We might have lost Brian.
Are you there?
I feel like we might have lost him. I have a still Could he possibly be that still?
I still see him there.
Is Has he has he replaced himself with a photo of himself?
Does anyone have any ideas?
Brian, are you there?
I probably should have I should have not said anything about the fake sneezing, but I I thought I had to point that out.
And he's gone. That was Brian Holdzman for the hour, or I should say quarter of an hour. We have other guests coming on and um that was very sad. Well, he was he was only only going to do a small amount of time and um I knew I knew that was going to happen. So, let us bring on let us bring on I have to stall for a second. Um um let's just do this. We're going to bring about um this is Gary. If we get a hold of him, this is Gary.
Um, you know, it's like you want you you have a wish to be alone and sometimes the the wish to be alone is compounded by being alone too long.
So you you really don't know you just really don't know how to do it left or right. But um uh you know um will you try to get Gary And we'll see.
Um, we'll see if we get Gary. All right.
He was he was in a fog state. What does that mean? He was in a fug state. What does that mean?
Nancy Doodles.
Nancy Doodles got a free t-shirt and she said she's going to take a photo in it next week. Oh, hurrah. Oh.
Uh, I hope it works out. Um, taxiderermy. Nix Nancy Doodles is taxiderermy. He spoke. He he come. He spoke. He was great. Yes, he is. Oh, he's great. There's something magnetic about Brian Hiltzman. And um if you were to touch him, you might get an electrical shock. And that's okay. But life's very, very unpredictable. Just like an egg carton is very unpredictable. You could have an egg carton get wet and you don't know what to do with it. uh because it's just wet and for a little while you're all right, but after a while it turns to mildew and gets stuck and uh is is useless.
So, um So, it's Gary. Gary, it's Ditto Kitto. I do remember me. I know you wanted to interview me a long time ago. Finally, a chance is here.
>> I can see. Huh? Hey, can you hear me?
>> Can you hear me? This is Ditto Kitto.
remember you wanted to interview me. So I thought you know Brian Ho just dropped out.
>> Oh no. Okay. Oh, you don't remember? We worked together for a long a while back.
You know, do you remember the uh >> what's together?
>> Your internet's not working very well.
You're buffering. I'm already buffed. I was buffed before I got here.
>> I wonder if this is my connection or yours.
>> It's your connection.
>> It's not mine. It's not mine.
>> Maybe you need to be away from the toilet area.
>> My huh did okay.
>> Is better than ever. Thank you, Dusty Rose.
>> Let's see if he gets back in.
>> Who is with us now? What is your name?
It is Gary Robinson.
>> Oh, now you're back. Are you having an unstable connection or am I?
>> Uh, you are having an unstable connection.
>> No, not me.
>> No, it's me. Okay. All right. I'm in a I'm at a hotel, so it could be me.
>> Where are you? Are you in San Diego?
>> Yeah, La Hoya. So, there's like uh there's the ocean with all the seals and the sea lions and stuff.
It's kind of nice. Hell, maybe if I sit outside, actually, I'll get a better connection.
>> Where are you?
>> I'm in my studio. Um, but the reason I'm calling is because you wanted to interview me. You had interview questions. You you were trying to interview me. I remember about 3 years ago. And the and I finally thought, well, why don't I get Gary? Because there was so many questions you were going to ask me.
>> Yeah. Well, I Everybody wants to interview you. So, it's it's very hard to get a hold of you, you know, because you're always in this.
So, but yeah, I'm not ready for I can interview. I didn't I wasn't expecting this, but I think I got to I guess you got ready cuz when are you going to be available? You're always working on music and stuff. So, didn't you release like 30 songs recently?
>> I released 31 songs, Gary.
>> Where where are they available? They're available on Spotify and Apple and I will mail them to you if you write me a letter.
>> Yeah, I could really use like a a tape like a cassette tape of all of them.
>> I know being sarcastic, but I actually get requested much of my career for cassette tapes. You know, before the 90s, uh, I had I was requested cassette tapes, but then in the late 80s, I was also requested in uh, cassette tapes.
But now the late 90s, I was also requested in in tapes. And then now I'm I'm not requested as much, but I expect a spike in the in 2030.
>> You're probably right because everything's cyclical. Like it all comes around again. Like eight track tapes. I think you're probably popular on Atrack and vinyl is always coming back. Vinyl is actually getting big again. There's vinyl store is like popping up. So, I think you're in for a resurgence. But I thought you retired. I did your We were at a retirement show a while back and now you're coming back.
>> Well, it's it's a farewell. It's a farewell. Not I wouldn't say retirement.
Farewell means farewell and then of course you can pop your head up.
Retirement is almost a sentence like I'm putting myself to sleep. But that's not what I'm doing when I uh do a farewell concert. It's the last harrah. The last time I'll do it until the next time I do it. But I don't tell people I'm going to do it again. I just pretend that's the end. And then I do it again. And then I, you know, you can have a series of farewell concerts, but you just can't schedule them.
>> Yeah. You know what? That's exactly what Mly Cruz done five times. So, and I think the Rolling Stones may have done that, too.
I don't think so. No, they've never done that.
>> They've done retirement concerts or were done and then they come back after the retirement concert, >> right? But they do it with a wink and a [ __ ] >> I mean, a cheek and a wink, >> you know.
>> Yeah. And then Davey Roth does it and then he looks like he ought to be retired, but he keeps coming back.
>> Well, >> but you are in the prime. You're still in your prime, though. Like, everybody knows that you're still at top of your game, so nobody would expect you to retire anyway.
Well, I mean they would now if they listen to this conversation, they would understand that um I am um myself and I live myself gregariously and sometimes I eat pasta, but most of the time I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground and look around and um you know it's it's almost like a um a Stelgetti movie. You wouldn't see that many movies with a Stelgetti, although she was in movies.
But then if you take somebody like uh Judge Judy who's been in no movies, um you would expect her to be in something like a movie. Maybe something like a TV movie or something. Yeah. Yeah.
You know, I worked on some Judge Judy uh TV promos. Oh, Brian Holtzman and Jeffrey are two of the greatest comedians. Thank you for your work. Oh, so you got an endorsement.
>> We got an endorsement from Michael Owens live and he's such a good guy. I came on here once the Patreon by the way patreon.com/thejffrich Richard show when you get these these exclusive lives where you don't know what I'm going to do and um Michael Owens live came on and uh played guitar we also got the unique pleasure of him tuning his guitar and uh yeah he came on wasn't ready and then tuned his guitar and then played a song so you never you never know >> you never know >> people get great value on your Patreon.
>> Well, I try I try to do what I can, you know, and and and I try to push forward as much as I can and um but what are you doing?
>> Your audio or mine.
>> That's yours.
>> It can't be. No, that weird that weird like scratching.
There's like uh Oh, it's gone now. I heard like some uh interference. And it's weird because you work at you're at a recording studio, but your audio your audio ought to be pretty good. But so maybe >> No, it's not a recording studio.
Yeah, >> it's a it's a woodworking studio. It's just a bunch of woodworkings.
>> Oh, okay.
>> Ask in the in the chat if people are hearing like some popcorn type sounds.
>> I think we're hearing the popcorn sounds from you, Gary. Are you >> I'll go outside. Maybe it's better reception.
>> Well, you were you were outside. Why did you go back inside?
>> Um because it's loud out here. You can hear like seals and sea lions over there.
>> Yeah, but that's enjoyable. But why are people so afraid of atmosphere?
What you're giving us is atmosphere. I'm I'm able to hear that. Look, I'm able to see your hair. Your hair stands up on end without gel.
>> Without gel.
>> Yeah. I comb my hair with a balloon, though. My hair is very powerful. So, look at that. The sun looks nice. It's like uh the ocean. There's people playing in the park.
It's, you know, LA is nice. Hey, if anybody in the chat is in San Diego, I'll be at the Loy Comedy Store tonight at at 8:00 and I can get you in for free to see Tom Arnold.
>> And even if you aren't in San Diego, drive there now. How much time do they have before the show starts?
>> They got one and a half hours.
>> One and get to San Diego in one and a half hours. And you got to get there early because Tom goes up early. So if you want to see Tom Arnold at the And there he goes.
>> Gary.
>> Yeah, I can hear you. I think I lost you for a minute.
>> We've got no picture >> right now. I I can see you.
>> I I Well, that's great. I'm glad. But I can't see you and I certainly can't see your hair that's standing on end.
>> Your hand stands completely on end.
>> Yeah.
>> And you see >> Well, see me. I can't. I wish I could.
>> You don't want to see me. It's not a great site. Here, I'll go back inside.
Maybe it's the outside.
>> Let's see what Let's see what >> Okay. Wait. I'm not back yet.
>> No.
It's weird. Should I Maybe I should log out and in.
>> Yes, you can try that.
>> All right, I'll try that cuz like I can see you and then you can talk for a while and talk about your woodworking and stuff. I can only >> But I don't need you to tell me what to talk about and I don't >> But you want to be an interview. You >> I don't mean to be confrontational.
>> I know, but you're a pop star and pop stars get confrontational.
>> Well, my hair is a pop star. My brain is uh is >> my hair wants to be your hair.
>> Well, >> you know, my hair used to look like that, but it was dark.
Now I got this.
>> How dark was your hair? Was your hair black?
>> Yeah, it was black.
And now it's coffee.
>> Now it's like your coffee. Are you drinking coffee right now?
>> No, I don't drink coffee. So, can you see me now?
>> You don't drink coffee? You just said you drink coffee.
>> I drink coffee drinks, but I don't drink coffee.
>> Why? You sound offended. Why are you so offended?
>> Because the caffeine makes me break out.
So, I don't have a lot of caffeine >> on your face.
>> Yeah, like I get redness here. I probably have it now a little bit.
>> Can you So, you can't see me.
>> I can't see the redness. You can you see me?
>> No. All I see is black.
>> Okay. All right. That's what I look like.
>> Pop out and pop.
>> I'm going to log out and log back in.
Okay. I'll log back. And you know what?
I might even start walking towards the car. Okay. I'm going to log out right now. Okay.
>> All right. Don't Don't tell us what you need to do. Keep it a >> I'll log back in. All right.
>> Okay. Exciting. All right. There we go.
>> So, there goes Gary. I first we had Brian had a problem with me pointing out that he was sneezing, fake sneezing, and he said, "Just go with it." And I said, "I'm trying to, but you're fake sneezing and I'm now I'm fake nervous." And we we went back and forth and it didn't work out. And then he he wouldn't talk. So he in a way he was combating what I did with his sneezing. I put him on on the on his heels by saying, "What are you you're not really sneezing?" And then what he did later was he um put me back on my heels by not saying anything, which if you're doing an interview, especially if you're being interviewed and the interviewer stops talking, there's not a lot you can do about it.
So, um something came up. Owens, uh, Andy Music, Andy YT, YouTube Music, uh, Tsunami, uh, in in the Michigan situ, we have eight people on.
It's very difficult to run these type of shows because there aren't a lot of people on and then all of a sudden you have a ton of people on and you're doing it for them rather than doing it for yourself and making it interesting. But um well, we'll see if Gary comes back in and if not, we'll we'll try to get someone else uh on the show. I don't mean to be discombobulated, but um but God knows uh it's easy to be discombobulated.
Um you know, I I don't know. It's, you know, there's nothing easy about any of this, but um but it can be easier. It doesn't have to be hard. But saying the word hard is hard. It's uh it makes me hardened. It makes me I turn into an ice skater.
Honestly, I do. And um and we we'll just have to see if that works.
We'll have to see that. We just sent a message to two crows.
Um and um so um this went very very differently than I thought it would. At first, um, Alan Vultz was going to be hosting this and then, um, I got the word that Alan Vultz fell ill and fell down. He fell down with illness. And so I came in because I lived two doors down in a in a bungalow and I I I basically came to the rescue. But I've been I've been asked to juggle the impossible. You know, we had Brian Holtzman. He was a a force to be reckoned with and everybody loves Brian Hudzman, but nobody knows what it's like to work with him. When you're trying to be interviewed by him, he makes it very difficult. Even though I probably was at fault by pointing out his fake knees. He was fake sneezing. I thought I would say something about it. And then all of a sudden, the next thing you know, uh, he's giving me the silent treatment on live video, on a live broadcast. He's giving me the silent treatment. And so that was very hard for me because it hurt me. And sometimes I'm very sensitive about certain things like this. That's why I wear these blue glasses to try to disconnect myself from reality. But the reality is I'm disconnecting myself from myself. And then that's a transparent action. So it's it's obvious for everyone what I'm doing, etc. So, um, we try to, um, disco tech stakeulator says disco tech, disco tech, disco tech.
And, um, that's one of my more popular songs.
I wish I could play some music for you tonight. Um, I don't have the, um, wherewithal. You can't play a link. You have to play the actual video.
Um, and um, so this goes on for years. So I think what happened with Gary is he just had enough. He was like, I can't keep doing this. Um, but um, yeah, it's Oh, thank you. I'm glad you're digging the glasses, Melicia. So people used to do super chats and then now you're all just uh drunk on messaging me on on Instagram. Well, you have no reason to send an a super chat now that you're connected to me on Instagram. Well, that's all going to change. I'm not responding to any more messages from anybody that I've been in the chat room with. That's it. That's the end of it.
If you want to talk to me, communicate with a super chat. and don't be super fat, but be super chat and be bees and be pollen and all of these things that come around and go around and and you know, I might might I might reach out to you. I might uh you know, if you ask me a question, I might say something back, but for the most part, I'm trying to communicate in super chats. I think some of you have the idea, the right idea, the wrong idea that that is the right idea. The wrong idea is the right idea.
So, um, it's harder to do this character than Alan Vultz because he just kind of goes like this and then I I don't want to Oh, now we're at eight. We were at eight, but we went to seven. Now we're back up at eight. Eight is great.
We are all connected. Well, now we are.
Nancy Doodles, otherwise known as Mary.
Yes.
Oh boy. Oh boy. So, um, music is very difficult for people to do. Why don't you come on, um, Michael Owens live and play a song? Where's Michael Owens Live?
We need Michael Owens Live to come on and play a song. I'm going to put this I'm going to put this right here.
And uh if you want to join, there it is. So, if you want to join, go ahead and join. I'm asking Michael Owens Live to come on and and do a song with me. I'll sing with Mike Loans live and hopefully your guitar is tuned. As a lesson, you should always have a tuned guitar. It's just like you should always have a computer full of charge because you never know when you have to run around and do some things.
I I like my hair. People say, "Why don't you cut your hair?" And I say, "Because I don't want anyone to ruin it again.
When people ruin my hair, it ruins my heart."
I go to the beauty school and they break my heart. The last time I went to the beauty school, the girl says, "Oh, you're going to be my first human head."
Oh, that's very confident. Um, I guess.
Yes, I should have turned around right then, but she just chopped my hair like crazy. You You can't ask for a You can't ask for a trim. A trim they will cut to the bone. You have to say, "Shape my hair. Just shape it. just shape my hair and um see where that takes you. So um yes um you are a bit a bit of a quandry because life is very strange and very weird and you can you can you can touch it with a telephone pole if you can hold a telephone pole in your hand but how many people can or even even two hands or even Sirhan Sahan shape shifter. Yes, shape shifter.
Shape-shifting. You can get the McDonald's fries or you can get the fries at your own uh delicateess.
Um you can get hard crud crud. You can get hard crud fl fries.
So I ask you to join us. Here's Gary's back.
>> Gary, now now you're in the car.
>> I know because I got to get to my gig.
But um and I'm uploading the interview that we did so far. that was so brilliant that everybody's going to want to hear it obviously.
>> Well, I mean, um, people want to hear what they want to hear. So, they don't have to actually hear anything to, um, be fulfilled by the the words that they think they're going to hear or that they have heard. Um, >> see, that's that's the thing. You have such a way with words and you put it into song like that and then that's why you have the hits.
>> Well, I get hit I get hit with taxes.
So, I have the wherewithal to know that if I'm going to write a hit song, I I can't write it as good as I want to because I know I'll get hit with taxes.
So, it's better to fly under the radar by by giving them something that is a little less than what they want, but I won't be taxed on it. So, um that's what you two did with Acton Baby. They wrote, uh they wrote it in a way that it could be interpreted as something that wasn't so good. So the sales weren't what they should be. So then they didn't hit that tax bracket.
>> That's brilliant. Like sell less and pay less in taxes.
>> Well, I mean, sell is a is a is a is is is a common name for um an accountant.
Sell. And that could be a um a Saul, a sell um three blind mice. Do you know the Do you know that nursery rhyme? Three blind rice.
>> Yeah. See, I forgot how it goes, but doesn't one of them lose their tail or something?
>> Well, I don't know. But did he really lose his tail? Or was he pretending to lose his tail so he wouldn't be taxed on his tail?
>> So, those are things.
>> I think he lost the tails in taxes.
>> Alien militia says, "Don't cut your hair." When's the last time you cut your hair, Gary?
>> Um, probably a week ago.
>> Oh, >> this is as good as it gets. Yeah, this is about as good as it looks, by the way. So, if that's a compliment, it's not going to get better than this.
>> But it's it's it's very comical your hair because it does stand straight up, and there's no real explanation for that. I know you joked around by uh saying you uh comb it with a balloon, but really something's happening with your hair you're not telling us about, but um yeah, >> it defies all physics. Like there's no product in my hair at all and it's defying physics of gravity.
>> Can you turn the camera more towards you? I think we're just getting in the back seat. There you go. That's >> Yeah. So, I'm just driving at the same time. I don't want to hit anybody in La Hoya because they'll sue. Um, wait, hold on one sec.
Sorry, buddy. You're waiting for me to drive. Um, but yeah, you know, it's uh I but yeah, I used to have full hair like I used to have Yeah, it looked it used to look like yours but black. I mean, there was a resemblance definitely.
>> You know, you know what's very interesting? Even on this chat room where there are people that are chiming in and they're typing in messages. Even on this chat room where I say, you know, Michael Owens live, come in and play a song. Now, he's got an idea that he wants to be Nor McDonald. And um that's not what I asked. That's not how what I requested, but he's sure that he's going to do his Nor McDonald. So what is it about people that want to do they seem to want to do what they want to do? Why do people want to do what they want to do?
>> I I think it's Americans have a rebellious spirit. So they won't really uh Yeah. They want to do whatever they want to do, >> which is why we have our own country and we're still not with yours.
And what do you think of this hontis virus or whatever the hell it's called?
>> Um I think it sound sounds like it sucks.
>> What what what does it say? What what is it? What what is it? What is it?
>> It's it's not I mean apparently it's not as uh contagious as like CO or anything like that. So I don't think we have to worry as much. But uh but it it's killed a few people off a boat.
But don't don't you think people are just dying to die off a boat anyways?
Aren't they Aren't they I mean, anyone that's on a boat, like Brian said earlier before you came in the room, why would you want to be on a boat with 3,500 other people? Why would you want to be floating around? Maybe you're asking for it.
>> Well, they all saw Titanic and they all want to die in a boat now. So, it's a it's a very popular thing to do.
>> Uh, somebody says, "Good evening, Alan.
Can you tell Dustin Hoffen to tell Harland to stop eating so many sweets?
Thanks. You're doing God's work. Also, is God gay? Um Um Well, I'm not I'm not Allan. I'm Ditto Kido, but I I can do my impression of Allan doing his impression of Dustin Hoffman telling Harland to stop eating so many sweets.
>> Yeah, that'd be great.
You are enough. You are enough. And so what is happening here with this question is, "Good evening, Alan. Can you tell Dustin Hoffen to tell Harland to stop eating so many sweets?" Well, let's try it right now.
This is Dustin Hoff. Dustin Hoffman.
Harlon, you got to really slow down.
You're just You're eating too many sweets. It's like uh you're going to turn into a giant sugar cube.
The sugar cereal. Are you serial? I'm asking. Are you serial? Are you serial eating all these cereals?
Hey buddy. Well, listen. Uh just uh just trying to do God's work. I know he might be gay. I don't know for a fact, but uh just trying to be sweet and uh have some comedy and enjoy my last uh you know, 25, 30 years on this planet or however long I live. I don't [ __ ] know. But uh just uh why don't you mind your own [ __ ] business? Freak. Freak.
>> I think that's why people like >> I think that's why people like you.
Yeah, I think that's why people love Ditto Kida because you're so multi-talented even be beyond the being a pop star.
>> Well, I mean it is um it's consequential. Some things are consequential. I mean I use deodorant.
Some people say don't use deodorant. Use a mango. use half a mango on your arm, but how often can you come across a half a mango and what if you have to go play softball? You know, you you you might forget to um to to to um to do that. So, I I think it's it's it's it's hard. All things are hard. And that's the name of my book, Hard. Um you know, rocks are hard, life is hard, and um you know, hard water is hard. And if you've ever been in hard water, when you leave a shower after having hard water, well, you know that's the reason you own conditioner. But some places you go have hard water, like Kentucky. I was out in Kentucky for a show and uh and they had hard water and I refused to take a shower. I just refused I refused to take a shower. So, I didn't take a shower.
So, I refused.
>> Freak.
Well, if you if you ever make a sex tape, you got to call it soft just to break up the the difference.
>> If I ever make a sex tape, it'll be with you, Gary.
>> And that laugh that laugh means uh certainly not a rejection. That laugh might be a very high price for that. I I don't know if the uh the euro euros will cut it. We'll see.
Oh, wait. Let me turn this. Oh, good.
It's still charging. How many How's everybody doing in the chat? I can't see the uh the chat. I hope >> people are saying freak. They're saying yo wife. Hey, [ __ ] uh we're going to have another uh freakfest, another [ __ ] uh anyway, we're just having fun and uh I'm doing standup. I got my mo my movie uh uh Wingman. Wingman's good.
like it's got its own Instagram page.
And if you go to the Instagram page, you could you could uh you could uh use it. And uh so anyway, um let's let Michael Owens in the room if you don't mind. There he is.
Hey, it's Norm.
>> Oh, hey, he's got a guitar. You ready to roll?
>> Hey, uh I'll do the Norm impression next time. Here's a song for you guys. All right.
>> What do you Why won't you do the Norman pressure now? I'm doing Harland Williams. You know Harland Williams.
>> Hey, uh Harland, it's been quite some time. Uh I see you got a a friend over there. Is he a Is he a really good friend?
>> No thanks. I'm straight.
>> Your your wife. All right.
>> Your [ __ ] wife. Don't you take your wife's head and smash it through a plate glass window, freak.
>> Whoa. I'm I'm a secretly a closeted homosexual.
>> Yeah, I figured.
>> What the [ __ ] >> Hey, what did you just say about me? I'm not gay, feller. All right.
>> Yeah, I'm not straight, freak.
>> No thanks. I'm not straight.
>> That was a power slam. Here, here's a song.
>> All right, let's hear the song. I don't know if it's allowed on YouTube because of copyright, but uh >> Oh, well, don't do it then. Don't do it >> if it's >> I'm not going to demonetize this whole broadcast for your damn song. Can you play an original?
>> Uh, sure. Uh, let me see.
Um, uh, I I forgot how to play my original song.
A lot of them are complicated. Let me see.
>> Does somebody else know him?
Give me a couple seconds. I'll try to remember that song. Then I'll come back and play it for you.
>> So, um, >> this sounds like freestyling with acoustic music.
I don't know.
>> Well, uh this is Harman Williams and uh listen uh I should probably change the uh the video to Harlem Williams or we got an alien militia.
Mclovin was here.
>> What the hell is that supposed to mean?
I think it's a super bad reference and a super bad reference.
>> Oh, I wouldn't attack alien Maticia like that. She just [ __ ] bite your [ __ ] ankles.
But uh you're not going to get rich off of the live stream unless you get really going like if you get a lot of people in there and a lot of super chats.
Uh but um you know, >> how many people doing right now? I can't see it. How many people right now? We got 12 people.
>> That's cool. That we could have a last supper right now.
>> Yeah, but you're Jewish.
>> So is Jesus.
>> Yeah, but okay, I guess so.
>> Yeah.
>> Okay. Well, I mean, yeah, but but you know, >> you seem to be at a loss for words for once.
>> Well, I mean, I I'm waiting for you to fill in the blanks. What what kind of meal are you going to get with Jesus?
>> Probably like um we could have like >> like hummus, some like >> we probably some Mediterranean food, I would think.
>> Some Mediterranean, some PB&Js.
>> Maybe some euros and hummus.
>> What' you call me?
>> What the [ __ ] >> I I gota I got to walk to over the comedy store in a minute. Um >> All right. Listen, we're going to wrap this up anyway, but uh listen, good to see you, G.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Good seeing you guys. Hope everybody's having a good day.
>> And I should also say that the next episode's going to be Buucy with uh Gio Cabrera.
>> Oh, wow.
>> Right. You know this, >> Gio. Yeah. Gio Cabrera, the the light uh he the light fighter. He's a professional fighter. He's he's fighting in Mexico. I think he just fought 7,000 seedar. Wow.
>> 7,000 arena. He's fighting. He's also promoted that, but I had him on with Gary Buucy.
And so that's that's an exciting because we haven't had a podcast in a half a second.
>> Yeah. Anytime there's a Gary on board, you know, it's going to be great.
>> That's what I'm talking about.
>> Yeah, that'd be good. I know.
>> Somebody says, "Gary, you're great."
Caitlyn says, "Gary, you're great." So, there you go. Is that It's not Caitlyn Jenner, is it? It's Caitlyn.
>> No, it's Kaitlyn. Caitlyn Sophia. Her cat just died. Rest in peace to her cat.
>> Oh, that sucks.
>> I I don't know. It was I don't know if it was a sudden thing or what happened, but uh >> Yep. Dead. Yep. Yep. Dead. Yep.
>> Cuz I'm I'm right near Oh, no. I'm not on it. There's a Jenner Street here in La Hoya that's based on the Jenner family. So, it' be weird if Caitlyn Jenner called in and and said and said something to me while I'm on her street.
>> I thought you said Gender Street, which I guess it's almost the same thing.
Jenner Gender Jenner. Do you know about that? Like the Jenners and the Kardashians, all that history.
>> Yep. One day they're a guy and the next day they're a girl.
>> Of course, I see it on the news.
>> One of them really transformed. You know, that was Chloe.
>> Yeah. I don't know. I haven't seen any close-up photos, but I saw just I just see the ones you see on the news.
>> Yeah. Chloe used to look like Rosie O'Donnell. Now she looks like a model.
So, it's she's come a long way, >> which is the point of life, you know? Do we have to become better than they than we already are? I mean, maybe we're okay as we are.
>> Yeah.
>> You know, maybe we are enough. Like Alan Vault says, you are enough. All you have to do is exist.
>> Like Clavicle, looks maxing. You know, he's looks maxing at the detriment of his own health. I looks max. This is the bad the best I'm going to look. So I've been looks maxing like Clavicle. Do you know who Clavicle is?
>> No.
>> Okay, look him up. It's It's a pretty funny It's a weird story. He passed out.
He's looks maxing, which is He looks like a model, but he's been doing all this weird stuff. And so I guess he passed out a few times. See, the great thing about not having any money is you can't get into this kind of mischief.
You know, it's like the people that get all that plastic surgery, well, they have money, so they're able to screw themselves up. But if you don't have any money, you're not you're not you can only go so far with it.
>> Yeah. And then you keep reading about these people who died from their plastic surgery, like these Brazilian buttlft models, and now they're dead and stuff.
It's sad.
Well, listen, I've always considered you a Brazilian buttlft model, honestly. Uh, just >> that's the one the one procedure I did because it's the one, you know, I thought people would really like that in my area.
