I was missing out. I was in Australia and apparently
it isn't isn't that There's very few people have the
(01:04):
bidet over there, and they're looking at me like I'm
a freak. And I just said to people, just put

Have you ever been there? Have you ever played six

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I have not played six and I, But I love
coming to d C. I always have a great time
while I'm there. I feel so bad for you guys
because everybody's always like, we've got to go to a
clean up d C. DC's the swamp, and you guys
are like, hey, we live here. Calm down, everybody. Yeah, us,
it's a freaky. It's the freaks they send here. It's
not us. The DC people are fantastic.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
It's the people that come in every four years and
try to ruin everything. And they were like, oh, all right,
here we go again.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
But uh my god, and I honestly, honestly, I'm going
to bring up some sadness right now. I thought your
capitals were going to go much further than they did.
Such an exciting season, such an exciting season, and then
I was just like, ah, so just to get everybody,
let everybody know they're I see them for you.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
They look Oh we had a career season, a record
that will never be broken again. The Cabs celebrating their
fiftieth anniversary, and damn it, Hurricanes.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
God, they always have the CAB's number. I swear, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
The Hurricanes are just you know, you can't stop them.
People want to just you know, stuck the hurricane, but
you can't. You just got to You've got to bat
in the hatches and wait for it to go back.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I wish they would have played someone else, but oh,
you know what, there's always next year. We'll see what happens.
Let's let's talk about your travel woes there, Ian, because
you got stuck in Australia after what were you got
You guys were down there doing a tour for what
two weeks and then you're stuck for more time.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, we're there for fourteen days. We're down there for
fourteen days, and we've seen every airport lounge in that country.
It was insane. We didn't we didn't. We didn't actually
get time to tour, like to actually do tourist things until
the end of the and the end of the trip,
and we got one day and they're like, okay, we'll
get to see all of it, but we ended up
getting two days. United just calls us up and says, hey,
(04:39):
your flight's been delayed twelve hours, and then as we're
on our way to the airport there, like it's another
fourteen hours. So thank god we still had a hotel room.
I can't imagine. And you know what was creepy. The
plane was empty on the way back, was just like
us in first class and then nobody in the back
like it was. I was just like, oh, oh, I've
seen this isn't this isn't this how lost start? I
(05:04):
took a video of me walking around because you can
walk around the whole plane because nobody's gonna right, So
we're getting exercise and stuff. We're walking around, just taking
a video and like no TV screens on right, nobody
because there's nobody there, just one guy sitting in an
economy and we're all up in there, like there's ten
of us up in first class. And I was like,
who's that poor guy in the.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Book, The poor poor guy's the whole plane.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Though poor guy's doing better than us. He's got the
whole thing right, just like shy in every seat.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh man, that's like that is some weird final destination
stuff right there.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
That's like, uh, we should we wait for another plane.
We've already been here for a while. What's one more day?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yea? The crew should never outnumber the passenger.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
No, no, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But you got home okay after two and them two
weeks and a couple of days of no baday. But
you're all okay now and everything.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Is great and the shows and Australia were fantastic. We tour,
we did. I don't know if eight shows in fourteen
days or something like that, and it was just we
just had so much fun. Just would like to have
spread it out a little bit more and got to
see some stuff and actually got our barriers because you know,
it's the size of America. So we fly fourteen hours
and then we're to Sydney and then we have to
fly to Perth the next day for five hours. So
(06:17):
our jet leg got jet lag on top of jet lag.
So we're just like all confused.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So man, and does does comedy translate to say? I
guess down in Australia, it's gonna be pretty similar. But
you said you went to the Middle East too, I
guess comedy. Uh, you gotta have the jokes that translate
to the whole world.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, the good news is American pop culture is everywhere, right,
so you have a couple of days to figure things
out and then learn their pop culture. But humor, everybody
loves to laugh. I don't care where you're you're located.
It could be is somebody that's never seen like comedy
show and living in the bush and never had an
(06:54):
electric outlet in their life, and they're still giggling. People
love to laugh. Humor is is worldwide. Everybody loves to laugh.
There's nothing better than a feeling of laughing. Well, and
another lot of things, but I won't.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Say it besides the bidet other things too.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
One of the things though, Ian about your comedy, and
I like this a lot. I'm watching your stuff on Instagram,
and I love the front row audience interaction at every show.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So if you're.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Gonna go see Ian at six and I June twelfth,
get your tickets at six and I dot org. If
you want to sit in the front, there's a chance
he might make you a part of the show too.
All in good fun, of course, all in good fun.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
All in good fun. Yeah, And honestly, you might be
at the back. You might be getting involved too. Like
I try to always make sure, I always say at
the back, and I'm an able leader, right, But I
try to make it like you're hanging with friends. Right.
We're all just kind of, you know, maybe like a campfire.
We're all sitting around or just kind of chirping off
each other and just learning things and things. And you know,
(07:53):
there's nothing better than talking to somebody and something is
said and then something else is said, and then it
just kind of builds and blows up. And that's what
I kind of feel like my show is. It's just
hanging with a bunch of friends and having a good time.
It's not it's not and this is nothing against the
other comedians. It's just it's not a speech. I'm not
trying to just lead with a speech. It's it's conversation.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
This is your style.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That's that's the great thing about comedy too, me and
that everybody has their own different style. Some people, yeah,
lots of flavors exactly. Some people fire off one liner.
Some people tell, you know, ten minute stories and there's
jokes in there, and you just say, guide the front row,
what did you say about that dude with the cop
haircut over there?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I love that bit. That was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's a I can't remember what I said, but it is.
It is just kind of a cluster, right, that's what
we talk and the crowd and I and I and
I say at the end, you know a lot of
comedians have a story beginning, a middle, and end, and
mine just a cluster. And I hope I'm so stupid
that you're able to escape from the real worlds for
a day. I'm not trying to I'm not trying to
(09:02):
change your oil. I'm just trying to be your escape.
That's all I'm trying to be. So yeah, just fun.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I like I like it.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I like having fun. I love laughing.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I like to ian that you know as a comedian.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
On the other side of your family is your lovely wife,
doctor Bag, which is just such a contrast of She
helps people, she's you know, she's a doctor, and you
just make the yuck yackson and be silly at night.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
She she's a doctor of occupational therapy, so she deals
with UH, with eating disorders and stuff with kids, and
and and and helps helps families and she's she's just
a wonderful person. But to be honest with you, she's
the funny one out of the two of us. I
see and and and she said, she's got that ability
to be just to say something that just that you
(09:52):
don't notice it at first, and all of a sudden
you're just standing there and you have no clothes on
because it just shredded you and you had no idea.
She's one of those people well that just shreds sneakily,
like just a stealth missile just comes You're like, you
just think you're still living life normal and all of
a sudden you're like, what happened? What happened? Who was
that lady?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Do you think would she ever want to get up
on stage and try to do a few minutes?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
No, that's their problem, thank god, thank god. That's that's
honestly the only people say, what does it take to
become a stand up? The only thing that's different between
normal people and stand ups is that we are able
to take those three steps on the stage. That's the only.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Difference, huge difference.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
If you can get out there and talk with a
microphone and not yeah and not and not and not
just collapse under the way. Even if it's five people,
folks will just be like, oh my god, and just
they're done.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's amazing how people
just and I don't know that was that was the
biggest step for me too, was just getting up there.
And then one the first time I did it, I
was like, I'm addicted.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Whenever I have to go out on stage or anything
like that, Ian, I just I don't even think about anything.
I'm just like, it's go time. You gotta do it.
You just have to do it and get it over with.
Don't screw up and don't fall. That's the most important
thing for me.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, don't fall, don't screw don't save the F word
in front of my mom, and keep going.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yes exactly. And hey, Ian, before I let you go, man,
I saw you looking very dapper. You have quite a
T shirt collection. I must say. I love the Oasis shirt.
Tell me you're going to see them on the reunion
tour this summer.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I'm hoping to. I have not bought tickets. I'm hoping
that my schedule will allow me to and that somebody
I know will help me get to see them. But
I used to when I when I first moved to
New York was when they were huge. And I've seen
them about seven times and I love them. I love
that band so much. And I think the anger and
(11:55):
hating each other as brothers and stuff and being so
dumb it just makes me laugh as well.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
So yeah, yes, this is what I've been saying.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They've been through less. They've been through less drummers than
the Foo Fighters, so you gotta get the less. Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Wow, I just can't wait.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I was lucky enough to get tickets for Chicago and
this summer. I can't I can't wait to be there
drinking too many light beers and singing Champagne Supernova with everyone.
It's just gonna be the greatest thing, you know what.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You know, what's the funny part about that, the way
you describe it, I just see I see a bunch
of a bunch of guys crying and singing that song.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yes, yes, I love that, love that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Guys can't show their emotion for anything. But damn it,
if Wonderwall's on, I'm gonna shed a tear and we're
singing along exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
There's gonna be a little bit of teers. It's gonna
be a little bit of a choke up in the
middle of it.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
It's the greatest night of my life.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh man, Well I hope, I hope you're able to
get tickets for it. Man, it's it's gonna be a
big tour. But everybody else.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about it. But you know, at
the same time, I have to make money, and I
miss out on a lot of things because it's a
night right on working and stuff like that. So yeah,
but so I'd never get the plan I want to
see right now. I was like, oh. When I was
on the plane, I was like, oh my goodness, Sammy
Hagar is playing in uh in in in Las Vegas.
I'll just my wife out of town for a couple weeks.
(13:24):
I'll just jump on a plane go see sam and Hagar.
It ended the day I flew in. You serious? Are
you serious? So I was just and yeah, that's that's
that's that's that's how it is for me. So I try.
But I hope I got to see it. Maybe I'll
be in Chicago. Maybe I'll see in Chicago. That'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, now, I hate to tell you. I did see
Sammy on his tour and it was so much fun.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Did he do that new song?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Uh, he didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I saw him last last summer on the tour, but man,
he was singing all the Van Halen stuff and all
of his you know I can't drive fifty five and everything.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
It was just a blast.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And it's stupid that he's seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, and he drinks tequila like he owns his own
tequila company, and he's lived to be just having the
best time at seventy seven.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Now, Yeah, yeah, and I think what it says is
have fun, have fun, don't take life too serious, and
just do your thing. And he seems to. He seems
to do everything in moderation except for except for live life.
He lives life at one hundred miles an hour. But
everything else, you know, he drinks, and he probably does
(14:30):
a couple of other things. And yeah, yeah, I think
he just I just I'm just I've been a like.
I love Van Halen and I loved it with that
way with Eddie. Of course, when Eddie was in the band,
I really enjoyed Eddie in the band. But when I
Diamond Dave, I love when Diamond Dave was in the band.
Like I think Diamond Dave was hilarious. But I love
Sammy too, just so I don't know, you know, I've
seen them with Sammy and I just I love it.
(14:51):
So anyways, anyways, that's my thing. I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And that's how I I know you're a big fan.
You call him Diamond Dave the way he should be addressed.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh my god, Yeah, it's just stupid. I remember my
friend ran into him and he was he was he
was going in my friend was going to pet and
he got into an elevator and he said, the guy
in front of me, I knew it was David David
and he goes, he goes Dave, and he's he's excuse me, mister, mister,
(15:21):
mister Roth. And he got hears around. He goes yeah,
and I'm like, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, yes, that oh man, that is That's what you
need when you see diamond David Lee Roth. That's the
way he should answer everybody exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:40):

to bring up some sadness right now. I thought your
capitals were going to go much further than they did.
Such an exciting season, such an exciting season, and then
I was just like, ah, so just to get everybody,
let everybody know they're I see them for you.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
They look Oh we had a career season, a record
that will never be broken again. The Cabs celebrating their
fiftieth anniversary, and damn it, Hurricanes.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
God, they always have the CAB's number. I swear, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
The Hurricanes are just you know, you can't stop them.
People want to just you know, stuck the hurricane, but
you can't. You just got to You've got to bat
in the hatches and wait for it to go back.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I wish they would have played someone else, but oh,
you know what, there's always next year. We'll see what happens.
Let's let's talk about your travel woes there, Ian, because
you got stuck in Australia after what were you got
You guys were down there doing a tour for what
two weeks and then you're stuck for more time.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, we're there for fourteen days. We're down there for
fourteen days, and we've seen every airport lounge in that country.
It was insane. We didn't we didn't. We didn't actually
get time to tour, like to actually do tourist things until
the end of the and the end of the trip,
and we got one day and they're like, okay, we'll
get to see all of it, but we ended up
getting two days. United just calls us up and says, hey,
(04:39):
your flight's been delayed twelve hours, and then as we're
on our way to the airport there, like it's another
fourteen hours. So thank god we still had a hotel room.
I can't imagine. And you know what was creepy. The
plane was empty on the way back, was just like
us in first class and then nobody in the back
like it was. I was just like, oh, oh, I've
seen this isn't this isn't this how lost start? I
(05:04):
took a video of me walking around because you can
walk around the whole plane because nobody's gonna right, So
we're getting exercise and stuff. We're walking around, just taking
a video and like no TV screens on right, nobody
because there's nobody there, just one guy sitting in an
economy and we're all up in there, like there's ten
of us up in first class. And I was like,
who's that poor guy in the.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Book, The poor poor guy's the whole plane.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Though poor guy's doing better than us. He's got the
whole thing right, just like shy in every seat.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh man, that's like that is some weird final destination
stuff right there.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
That's like, uh, we should we wait for another plane.
We've already been here for a while. What's one more day?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yea? The crew should never outnumber the passenger.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
No, no, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
But you got home okay after two and them two
weeks and a couple of days of no baday. But
you're all okay now and everything.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Is great and the shows and Australia were fantastic. We tour,
we did. I don't know if eight shows in fourteen
days or something like that, and it was just we
just had so much fun. Just would like to have
spread it out a little bit more and got to
see some stuff and actually got our barriers because you know,
it's the size of America. So we fly fourteen hours
and then we're to Sydney and then we have to
fly to Perth the next day for five hours. So
(06:17):
our jet leg got jet lag on top of jet lag.
So we're just like all confused.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
So man, and does does comedy translate to say? I
guess down in Australia, it's gonna be pretty similar. But
you said you went to the Middle East too, I
guess comedy. Uh, you gotta have the jokes that translate
to the whole world.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Well, the good news is American pop culture is everywhere, right,
so you have a couple of days to figure things
out and then learn their pop culture. But humor, everybody
loves to laugh. I don't care where you're you're located.
It could be is somebody that's never seen like comedy
show and living in the bush and never had an
(06:54):
electric outlet in their life, and they're still giggling. People
love to laugh. Humor is is worldwide. Everybody loves to laugh.
There's nothing better than a feeling of laughing. Well, and
another lot of things, but I won't.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Say it besides the bidet other things too.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Well.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
One of the things though, Ian about your comedy, and
I like this a lot. I'm watching your stuff on Instagram,
and I love the front row audience interaction at every show.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
So if you're.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Gonna go see Ian at six and I June twelfth,
get your tickets at six and I dot org. If
you want to sit in the front, there's a chance
he might make you a part of the show too.
All in good fun, of course, all in good fun.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
All in good fun. Yeah, And honestly, you might be
at the back. You might be getting involved too. Like
I try to always make sure, I always say at
the back, and I'm an able leader, right, But I
try to make it like you're hanging with friends. Right.
We're all just kind of, you know, maybe like a campfire.
We're all sitting around or just kind of chirping off
each other and just learning things and things. And you know,
(07:53):
there's nothing better than talking to somebody and something is
said and then something else is said, and then it
just kind of builds and blows up. And that's what
I kind of feel like my show is. It's just
hanging with a bunch of friends and having a good time.
It's not it's not and this is nothing against the
other comedians. It's just it's not a speech. I'm not
trying to just lead with a speech. It's it's conversation.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
This is your style.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
That's that's the great thing about comedy too, me and
that everybody has their own different style. Some people, yeah,
lots of flavors exactly. Some people fire off one liner.
Some people tell, you know, ten minute stories and there's
jokes in there, and you just say, guide the front row,
what did you say about that dude with the cop
haircut over there?
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I love that bit. That was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
That's a I can't remember what I said, but it is.
It is just kind of a cluster, right, that's what
we talk and the crowd and I and I and
I say at the end, you know a lot of
comedians have a story beginning, a middle, and end, and
mine just a cluster. And I hope I'm so stupid
that you're able to escape from the real worlds for
a day. I'm not trying to I'm not trying to
(09:02):
change your oil. I'm just trying to be your escape.
That's all I'm trying to be. So yeah, just fun.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I like I like it.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I like having fun. I love laughing.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I like to ian that you know as a comedian.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
On the other side of your family is your lovely wife,
doctor Bag, which is just such a contrast of She
helps people, she's you know, she's a doctor, and you
just make the yuck yackson and be silly at night.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
She she's a doctor of occupational therapy, so she deals
with UH, with eating disorders and stuff with kids, and
and and and helps helps families and she's she's just
a wonderful person. But to be honest with you, she's
the funny one out of the two of us. I
see and and and she said, she's got that ability
to be just to say something that just that you
(09:52):
don't notice it at first, and all of a sudden
you're just standing there and you have no clothes on
because it just shredded you and you had no idea.
She's one of those people well that just shreds sneakily,
like just a stealth missile just comes You're like, you
just think you're still living life normal and all of
a sudden you're like, what happened? What happened? Who was
that lady?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Do you think would she ever want to get up
on stage and try to do a few minutes?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
No, that's their problem, thank god, thank god. That's that's
honestly the only people say, what does it take to
become a stand up? The only thing that's different between
normal people and stand ups is that we are able
to take those three steps on the stage. That's the only.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Difference, huge difference.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
If you can get out there and talk with a
microphone and not yeah and not and not and not
just collapse under the way. Even if it's five people,
folks will just be like, oh my god, and just
they're done.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's amazing how people
just and I don't know that was that was the
biggest step for me too, was just getting up there.
And then one the first time I did it, I
was like, I'm addicted.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Whenever I have to go out on stage or anything
like that, Ian, I just I don't even think about anything.
I'm just like, it's go time. You gotta do it.
You just have to do it and get it over with.
Don't screw up and don't fall. That's the most important
thing for me.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, don't fall, don't screw don't save the F word
in front of my mom, and keep going.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yes exactly. And hey, Ian, before I let you go, man,
I saw you looking very dapper. You have quite a
T shirt collection. I must say. I love the Oasis shirt.
Tell me you're going to see them on the reunion
tour this summer.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I'm hoping to. I have not bought tickets. I'm hoping
that my schedule will allow me to and that somebody
I know will help me get to see them. But
I used to when I when I first moved to
New York was when they were huge. And I've seen
them about seven times and I love them. I love
that band so much. And I think the anger and
(11:55):
hating each other as brothers and stuff and being so
dumb it just makes me laugh as well.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
So yeah, yes, this is what I've been saying.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They've been through less. They've been through less drummers than
the Foo Fighters, so you gotta get the less. Wow.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Wow, I just can't wait.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I was lucky enough to get tickets for Chicago and
this summer. I can't I can't wait to be there
drinking too many light beers and singing Champagne Supernova with everyone.
It's just gonna be the greatest thing, you know what.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You know, what's the funny part about that, the way
you describe it, I just see I see a bunch
of a bunch of guys crying and singing that song.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Yes, yes, I love that, love that.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Guys can't show their emotion for anything. But damn it,
if Wonderwall's on, I'm gonna shed a tear and we're
singing along exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
There's gonna be a little bit of teers. It's gonna
be a little bit of a choke up in the
middle of it.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
It's the greatest night of my life.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Oh man, Well I hope, I hope you're able to
get tickets for it. Man, it's it's gonna be a
big tour. But everybody else.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about it. But you know, at
the same time, I have to make money, and I
miss out on a lot of things because it's a
night right on working and stuff like that. So yeah,
but so I'd never get the plan I want to
see right now. I was like, oh. When I was
on the plane, I was like, oh my goodness, Sammy
Hagar is playing in uh in in in Las Vegas.
I'll just my wife out of town for a couple weeks.
(13:24):
I'll just jump on a plane go see sam and Hagar.
It ended the day I flew in. You serious? Are
you serious? So I was just and yeah, that's that's
that's that's that's how it is for me. So I try.
But I hope I got to see it. Maybe I'll
be in Chicago. Maybe I'll see in Chicago. That'd be awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, now, I hate to tell you. I did see
Sammy on his tour and it was so much fun.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Did he do that new song?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Uh, he didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I saw him last last summer on the tour, but man,
he was singing all the Van Halen stuff and all
of his you know I can't drive fifty five and everything.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
It was just a blast.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And it's stupid that he's seventy seven.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yeah, and he drinks tequila like he owns his own
tequila company, and he's lived to be just having the
best time at seventy seven.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Now, Yeah, yeah, and I think what it says is
have fun, have fun, don't take life too serious, and
just do your thing. And he seems to. He seems
to do everything in moderation except for except for live life.
He lives life at one hundred miles an hour. But
everything else, you know, he drinks, and he probably does
(14:30):
a couple of other things. And yeah, yeah, I think
he just I just I'm just I've been a like.
I love Van Halen and I loved it with that
way with Eddie. Of course, when Eddie was in the band,
I really enjoyed Eddie in the band. But when I
Diamond Dave, I love when Diamond Dave was in the band.
Like I think Diamond Dave was hilarious. But I love
Sammy too, just so I don't know, you know, I've
seen them with Sammy and I just I love it.
(14:51):
So anyways, anyways, that's my thing. I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And that's how I I know you're a big fan.
You call him Diamond Dave the way he should be addressed.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Oh my god, Yeah, it's just stupid. I remember my
friend ran into him and he was he was he
was going in my friend was going to pet and
he got into an elevator and he said, the guy
in front of me, I knew it was David David
and he goes, he goes Dave, and he's he's excuse me, mister, mister,
(15:21):
mister Roth. And he got hears around. He goes yeah,
and I'm like, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, yes, that oh man, that is That's what you
need when you see diamond David Lee Roth. That's the
way he should answer everybody exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yes.
