Bud Light came all the way back. (laughs)

They did. (laughs)

To life, baby.

Chase the water.
- JRJoe Rogan
They came all the way back.
- SGShane Gillis
Matt, do it responsibly.
- MMMatt McCusker
I can't. I'm not drinking. I can't.
- JRJoe Rogan
Are you a non-drinker now?
- MMMatt McCusker
No, I drink, I just unfortunately have a, uh, bad tummy. Can't have gluten.
- SGShane Gillis
Oh, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- MMMatt McCusker
Had- I've had it since I was, like, 21.
- JRJoe Rogan
Is it a Crohn's thing, or is it-
- MMMatt McCusker
No, it's like celiac. If I have it, I'll get it.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh.
- MMMatt McCusker
Like, I won't die, I'll just start burping every... you know.
- JRJoe Rogan
Celiac is rough, man. I have a buddy who didn't know he had it until, uh, he w- I think he was, like, 25 or something like that he got diagnosed.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah?
- MMMatt McCusker
Yep.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah. It's about when you got it, right?
- MMMatt McCusker
21, yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Well, he, you know, probably had it his whole life, just was just, like, just felt like shit.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah, maybe I have it. (laughs)
- 15:00 – 30:00
Yeah. …
- JRJoe Rogan
- MMMatt McCusker
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
There's levels in this world.
- MMMatt McCusker
Yeah. That's, uh, that's scary. Being that poor is scary. But it was nice. I was there. It's like Monopoly money. It's like... If it's not your currency... I was out there-
- SGShane Gillis
Oh, yeah.
- MMMatt McCusker
... just doling that stuff out, and it's like-
- SGShane Gillis
You love our currency.
- MMMatt McCusker
I do.
- SGShane Gillis
We were in Australia...
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
Dude, we were in Australia, and Matt was like, "This is USD."
- MMMatt McCusker
I tried to pay with $20 in US money.
- SGShane Gillis
He tried to pay with US dollars. (laughs)
- MMMatt McCusker
And they were like, "We don't take that." I'm like, "Come on, man." It's like-
- SGShane Gillis
"Come on, man, this is 10 times your money."
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MMMatt McCusker
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
It's like, dude, this is American.
- MMMatt McCusker
I was treating them like-
- SGShane Gillis
We're Australians. (laughs)
- MMMatt McCusker
I was treating them like I was in, like, Honduras. I was like, "Yo, here's a 20 bucks." And they're like, "Well, we can't take this." I'm like, "Nah, y- they don't give you that. That's, that's good money."
- JRJoe Rogan
Some money, I've l-... They have, like, clear little holes in them, and there's, like, little holograms in it. It's like-
- SGShane Gillis
It's all bullshit, dude.
- MMMatt McCusker
It's fake.
- SGShane Gillis
American money is the only thing that matters.
- JRJoe Rogan
Isn't it wild, though, that no one's-
- MMMatt McCusker
For sure.
- JRJoe Rogan
... figured out how to completely accurately recreate money? It's just pieces of p-... Like, they had to really stay ahead of the curve.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
For the counterfeiters-
- 30:00 – 45:00
Rough. …
- MMMatt McCusker
Rough.
- JRJoe Rogan
Exactly. Well, if you're a woman and you got a poodle, you know, what the fuck?
- MMMatt McCusker
Don't bring that thing around.
Poodles are working, poodles are a working breed.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- MMMatt McCusker
A big poodle.
- JRJoe Rogan
A real big one.
- MMMatt McCusker
A big poodle, yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
Yeah.
- MMMatt McCusker
Those things are nasty.
What are they doing?
They're big. A big poodle would-
What do they work on?
... bird hunting, probably.
- SGShane Gillis
Poodles?
- MMMatt McCusker
Yeah, poodles are bird hunters.
- SGShane Gillis
Is that what they are?
- MMMatt McCusker
I'm pretty sure. A, a big poodle, not a little Euro- like, a little-
- SGShane Gillis
Right, right.
- MMMatt McCusker
... toy dog, yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
Toy, yeah. Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I've heard they're actually good watchdogs, the big poodles.
- MMMatt McCusker
Dude, I'm telling you, the big poodles are not pussy to be shit.
- SGShane Gillis
God, everything the French do is so good.
- MMMatt McCusker
I was, I was a dog walker, dude.
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
Every single thing, dude. I- imagine being, like, an aristocrat with a poodle.
- MMMatt McCusker
Dude, they're sexual dogs too.
- SGShane Gillis
Everything the French do is sexual, dude.
- 45:00 – 58:52
And we had not...…
- JRJoe Rogan
sad.
- SGShane Gillis
And we had not... We had just started doing comedy. Like, we were bad at comedy.
- MMMatt McCusker
Oh, no.
- JRJoe Rogan
Dude, I did... And I just did just material.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah.
- JRJoe Rogan
I went up there and did, like, straight 10 minutes of no mic material, just flat line.
- SGShane Gillis
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
And they're like, "All right, Shane, how about you get..." I think Shane was-
- SGShane Gillis
Dude-
- JRJoe Rogan
I think Shane looked at me, like... And I gave it to you?
- SGShane Gillis
I tagged you. Yeah. I was like, "Let's both do it."
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, I'll help.
- MMMatt McCusker
(laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
I was dying, dude. And then, yeah, you went up and just did the sensible thing of talking and figuring out what's up with them.
- SGShane Gillis
Yeah, I was like, "This is weird. Why are we doing this?"
- JRJoe Rogan
(laughs)
- SGShane Gillis
Why the fuck would you guys hire me and Matt to humiliate ourselves? (laughs)
- JRJoe Rogan
It was crazy.
- SGShane Gillis
I did a black lady, uh, Mother's Day show.
- JRJoe Rogan
Oh, yeah.
- SGShane Gillis
In north Philly. This guy just hi- hired me to do comedy in front of a brunch for just, for real, like, 14 black ladies for Mother's Day. Same thing. I just stood at the head of the table. It was crazy.
- MMMatt McCusker
It's a wild move.
- SGShane Gillis
Just died.
- JRJoe Rogan
Eh, it is.
- SGShane Gillis
And they were just being very nice. They're like, "You're doing great."
- MMMatt McCusker
That's kind of cool.
- SGShane Gillis
In the middle of just a Mother's Day brunch.
- MMMatt McCusker
Would you... Would you just switch stuff up at all? Or, like-
- SGShane Gillis
Oh, no. (laughs)
- MMMatt McCusker
(laughs)
