Mack Talks To Jeff Ross About The Art Of Roasting Celebrities

This week on the Bunny Ears podcast, Macaulay Culkin talks to Jeff Ross—aka The RoastMaster General—about all things comedy … and a bunch of stuff that’s not comedy.

Jeff, who was fresh of a flight from Comic-Con, begins the podcast by doing some Downward-Facing Dog in Mack’s backyard. They then delve into Jeff’s process when it comes to roasting celebrities, and the differences between roasting someone you know really well versus roasting someone you’ve never even met. (Fun fact: Justin Bieber once told Jeff that getting roasted was the “best thing that ever happened to him.”)

They then get into Jeff’s journey into comedy as a young kid from Jersey, and Mack and Jeff commiserate over remembering their bombs way better than their successes. Jeff roasts Mack, telling listeners that he dresses like an “assistant yoga instructor” and Mack delivers the zing-factor right back.

The guys finish it all off by lighting a joint (we’re in California, people!) and discussing their plans for old-age. Hint: Mack’s plan for retirement is delightfully whimsical.
