The fur coat.

And, dude, this is how people must feel coming out.

Like, it was like...

I feel so good.

I feel like really myself.

And it's so weird that I'm 53 and now I'm this person.

I'm who I'm meant to be.

Yeah,

The fur

coat.

Dude, this is how people must feel coming out.

Like, it was like...

I feel so good.

I feel like really myself.

And it's so weird that I'm 53 and now I'm this person.

Yeah,

fur coat.

Dude, this is how people must feel coming out.

Like, it was like...

I feel so good.

I feel like really myself.

And it's so weird that I'm 53 and now I'm this person.

I'm who I'm meant to be.

this? Yeah, I've heard of it.

whole,

rewires your whole brain, dude.

Like when you exercise at that level, my whole brain's rewired now.

I think differently.

I didn't drink for 13 years.

I told my wife, I go, if I win the universe, we're going to get a bottle of wine.

She goes, you said if you ever drink, you'd leave me.

Do you have closing poses? Like, is it like a set, like a standup set? When you're posing? Yeah.

It's getting insane out there for men and women over the trial of Lindsay Clancy.

People are going nuts over this thing.

But I agree with her.

I mean, you can't classify all women.

You can't believe all women is what I'm saying.

Wait, no, that doesn't sound right.

What I'm saying is I think women are divided on this issue.

OK,

[laughs]

It is much easier to approach someone that's a fatty.

But when you get good enough at it, you can present ...

Like, I now talk about my life.

I talk about peptides.

I talk about working out, and everybody on some level can connect with that.

'Cause even if they're not in great shape, they aspire to be in great shape, or they dream about what it's like to be in great shape, or they battle with what it's like to be in horrible shape and try and get out of that.

Right

[laughs]

So I'm not doing stand-up.

I got invited to this thing by Steve Weinberger, and I'm gonna go to Bev Francis's Powerhouse Gym.

It's their 40-year anniversary, August 15th.

I'm gonna be there at noon.

It starts at 1:00.

I'm gonna work out.

Oh.

Yeah

... more weight with you.

Um, but if you're trying to get into these smaller creeks or smaller channels, like that long canoe is just arduous to try and move around and deal with.

Um, so having that small canoe, you can get up and over logs with it if they're, you know, an inch or two under the water.

If you get a little speed underneath you, you can, you can try and hop over some stuff.

Um, and just the, the weight wise, if you got a long walk or a long drag between creek channels or, or different parts of a marsh-

Yeah

... um, because you are hanging off the side, and, you know, i- if it's not straight, then you just end up, you know, lassoing around the tree or swinging around the tree every time, um, which makes it pretty tough.

What rubber boots do you run? What hip boots do you run? What waders do you run?

Uh, generally my rubber boots are just going to be alpha burleys.

Um, I've liked those.

I like the fit on them.

Um, I actually run super cheap hip boots.

I think they're frog togs or something like that, that you buy at, you know, fleet farm.

They're like 50 bucks a pair.

Explain now, explain that because talk to me a little bit about what, uh, just go into the details about what a one stick is for those who don't know.

So, I'm kind of curious when you're walking back there or you're getting back there and you're in hip boots and hip waders, are you bringing extra clothing and deer or boots and gear so that once you get to a spot, then you change your clothes because of being wet or you change your hip waders into a pair of hiking boots or are you sitting in hip waders the entire time?

Generally, I'm sitting in waders the entire time.

I might change that this year.

Last year that got me, it screwed up a hunt for me a little bit because I was in chest waders with felt sole boots on just because it was a long walk and I didn't want to be in neopremes and I didn't want to be in, you know, cheap rubbers that are freezing cold.

But it was also, you know, November 4th and nine degrees out.

And turns out that felt sole boots freeze to your tree stand in the mornings.

every time you try and adjust your weight or move your feet it's cracking ice so you literally cannot move and i mean i'm hunting out of a saddle and i one stick up and it's like i need to be able to have some sort of movement and yeah i had a tough shot last year on a buck and it was simply because i couldn't move my feet once i saw it i was like i know how noisy this thing is right now so i'm I have to go over the bridge and try and do a downward shot on the weak side.

Let me hear your favorite story about hunting in those conditions.

Does it become predictable over time to know where deer are bedding, to where you know where you can, where you need to be versus where you can't go?

Yeah, 100%.

Like you said, they don't bed in water, so the, the more time you spend in these swamps finding these, these small high spots...

Like I said, the, the does will bed on those islands.

I have never really seen it where bucks are bedding on the bigger oak islands or the bigger open flats.

Like, they're, they're in the little hidey-holes.

So knowing where those are is pretty important, but again, like you said, if you look on, on any map or any decent aerial, like you can see the trails running from these little pockets, and even if you can't tell that it's a higher spot from the map, like if you see nine different trails running into this one section and then blasting out the other side, it's like, well, there's something there that they care about.

Yeah.

Talk to me a little bit about that hunt specifically and why all of a sudden this, you know, like, dude, I want to go to Montana on an elk hunt.

Yeah, I mean, I'd always liked the idea of elk hunting.

You know, you watch the videos and the YouTube stuff, and you're like, God, it looks unbelievable out there, just the scenery and going after these monstrous animals.

And I was a charter boat captain at the time, and one of my customers actually invited me to go with him.

He had been going to this lodge forever.

So it was a lodge-based hunt, but it was all on public ground.

Um, and the guy I went with, I mean, he was, I think he was like 73 or 74 at the time.

Guys, watch out.

Yeah

... flying a drone on one of my spots last year where I had, you know, good bucks every single day, multiple times a day running through this pinch point, and I, I hit one bad last year and flew the drone up on that, and there were five deer in the hundred acres that I was hunting on.

It just happened that every single one of those five deer was walking past that trail camera every day.

Um, so bear-

Um, but, uh, the, the second day we, we had found some elk, so we split up, and they were, they were down in the bottom of this valley.

They were actually feeding out on the private, um, but bedding up in the public land, so we'd seen them in the private in the morning and then went in in the afternoon.

And so I went over the next ridge and was gonna try and cut them off before they got back to that public.

Okay.

And there's a trailer for it somewhere, and it's so hokey.

Uh, but Dante rolls in on his motorcycle, and I roll in in Dante's Jeep, and it's like, "Two tough guys." [laughs] And then we had a meeting at Tru, and they're like, "It's like Impractical Jokers, but these guys have known each other for years." And they're like, "Well, all the Impractical Jokers have too." They're like, "But these guys are big." [laughs]

"Oh, I am? I didn't-"

I sent Shannon a picture.

Here's my thing, and I don't do this a lot.

I sat next to someone very famous on the plane the other day.

I didn't ask for a photo.

So listen to Kimmel, clip 24.

[audience applauding] Don't worry, Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Chuck Mike Bruce Dave Mellen- Mullin.

[audience laughing] Now, maybe Mellen's better.

He is the now former senator of Oklahoma.

Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber.

That's right, we have a plumber protecting us from terrorism now.

[audience laughing] Oh, it worked for Super Mario.

[laughs]

[laughs]

The lack of DEI is...

I, I don't understand her logic on this at all.

How is DEI keeping women out of higher positions in the sciences?

[laughs]

As an actor that has been killed in at least seven films after saying two lines, I believe it is my right and my platform to say that.

[laughs]

... and I did not feel entitled to healthcare.

I would go to back alley dermatologists.

I would go to podiatrists that were located on the Staten Island Ferry.

[laughs]

And it still costs thousands of dollars a month, and I don't have that type of money.

I'm trying to build spaceships.

I'm trying to get my Starlinks all around the place, trying to take care of my baby mamas.

Okay.

Yeah.

He might watch this show.

He's a good guy.

But, uh, [laughs] he fucking, he would fuck anybody's chick.

So he's jacking off one night.

They ha- they finally got a VCR.

[laughs]
