Chapter 1: Who is Chris Distefano?

0.069 - 15.332 Chris Distefano

I've shot from the hip for so long. Like, I've said so much . I have a sitcom right now in development. And then they had an intern look into it. They were like, you've said so many things that we actually think they all cancel each other out. And there's nothing really to pin it on. We actually feel like we're safe here. Like, you just kept digging.

0

15.372 - 27.275 Chris Distefano

They said the intern in one hour found over 500 things that could be flagged. So they were like, we don't know that the networks are even going to sift through all this. So we could just move forward. And everything's great. And I was like, nice.

0

32.261 - 34.903 Shawna Dellaricca

That's lovely, George. I love it. It's a real gift to be around.

0

34.923 - 36.004 George Janko

That was awesome.

0

36.164 - 36.724 Shawna Dellaricca

That's very good.

36.904 - 49.493 George Janko

Chris, I love you guys. You've given me something to think about. I'm excited about this episode. Are we rolling, Reed? Reed is literally about to hit roll and then just take off and get my man Chris some muffins.

49.721 - 55.066 Chris Distefano

Hell yeah, dude. That's what it is. Get me some muffins. I love it. I love sweets.

55.546 - 60.67 George Janko

Before we even got started, I asked him how many times he's been here, and he goes, as least as possible. You hate L.A. You're a New York guy.

60.69 - 65.574 Chris Distefano

I don't hate L.A. I don't hate L.A. I'm happy that it's an American state and part of the continental United States.

Chapter 2: Why does Chris Distefano prefer performing in the original 13 colonies?

622.784 - 625.826 Shawna Dellaricca

I got an apple fritter.

0

625.866 - 627.767 Chris Distefano

That ASMR is... An apple fritter?

0

628.407 - 647.293 George Janko

The way he's eating it in the mouth. I like you. Do a nice ASMR eating. I met him on Craigslist. Really? And I invited him to my house at 11.30 at night. I literally had a pistol tucked away because I thought he was going to kill me.

0

647.373 - 650.314 Chris Distefano

He looks like a very, very nice guy, but he showed it to Ted Bundy.

0

650.415 - 658.8 George Janko

He had long, long hair, too. He had long, long hair. It looks good now. It's so funny. Now we took merch pictures of him the other day, and I was like, oh, my God, he's a model.

658.82 - 667.285 Chris Distefano

You have hair like a bob. You have hair like a 16th century knight. You know what I mean? Like Lancelot. I like it, though, dude. It's good. Very medieval.

667.345 - 668.905 Shawna Dellaricca

I think it's very 70s music.

669.086 - 685.755 Chris Distefano

It's nice. It's very heroin-y. I don't know. But, dude, congrats on your mountain. Thank you, dude. I appreciate for giving me half a fucking plastic wrap muffin from a Chinese deli off the side of the highway in L.A. I thought I was a guest.

686.22 - 687.421 Shawna Dellaricca

You're going to get the full experience.

Chapter 3: What impact did 9/11 have on Chris Distefano's life and comedy?

2606.218 - 2625.512 Chris Distefano

You know, hopefully it gets on the air. But they were like... you've said so many things that we actually think they all cancel each other out and there's nothing really to pin it on. So we actually kind of feel like we're safe here. It would be worse if it was just kept digging. They said, we found, they said the intern in one hour found over 500 things that could be flagged.

0

2625.552 - 2645.387 Chris Distefano

So they were like, we don't know that the networks or the powers that be are even going to sift through all this. So we could just move forward and everything's great. And I was like, nice. They were like, so that's the way to do it. Because you can't, you know what I mean? That's the thing with me is I've never, I've never come out publicly and said that I'm anything that I'm not.

0

2645.467 - 2655.393 Chris Distefano

Like I've never been a clean comic or a guy that's like Mr. Guru teaches. I've told you from the beginning, like this is, I'm a fucking wild guy. So it's like anything you say, I'm like.

0

2655.413 - 2657.615 George Janko

Dude, your laugh is diabolical by the way.

0

2657.655 - 2661.577 Chris Distefano

I'm like, yeah. Like anything somebody would bring up, they'd be like, yeah, yeah.

2661.957 - 2666.2 Shawna Dellaricca

Has there been one though that's caused like a real problem in your family? Like it caused a big argument.

2666.46 - 2682.873 Chris Distefano

Yes, yes, it's, I have had multiple, you know, mainly with like my wife, you know, like where I've said, like I've went too far, like, you know, talked about, not even about her, but like I've talked about like my ex or I've talked about like sex stuff or whatever. And she's like, you know, like started yelling at me.

2682.913 - 2702.051 Chris Distefano

And then it got like the one time, cause she would yell at me, like she yells at me or whatever. And she would just like, I would just get screamed at. I'm just used to it. And then, and then, And then, but one time she was like, and this really stuck with me. She was like, I made some like hypersexual joke. And then it was, we had our both daughters, but the older one was like seven.

2702.171 - 2719.342 Chris Distefano

And she was like, you know, now, like, like tomorrow, your daughter is old enough that these kids, some of them have phones. Okay. It, they see that bit on TikTok, seven, eight year old kid doesn't know how to process that, they're gonna start making, they're gonna start asking your daughter questions, and it's your fault.
