There was a 50 in one house. Well, everybody, almost there, literally almost every comic that we liked in Boston had a key to the place.

It was like it was all over. And then there were 10 keys on that amount. For throughout the town, probably you need a place to stay. My friend Danny Sturts came to town one time. He's in a cab, he goes, oh, fuck, I lost the key in the cab, but don't worry, I got one. Trigger bird.

Yeah, we got a tank of helium in one corner of the living room, that's how we started our mornings. How did you start comedy Lenny? Oh, I was working as a janitor at City Hall and I took all the other janitors out for then to get them drunk as then I went after to my job. And we went into the Springfield streets alone and it was a comedian. Steve Swinney was on and another comedian, Bill Campbell.

Yeah, she loved her and she was hilarious Then it's just go for Laura Kitelyinger was around for a while Laura Kitelyinger is on set in live and then was a producer on low and grace Yeah, so they've all gone much farther than me. This is like the best thing I've done in 10 years You got a you you and Len you never had a nickname, right?

No. You have a nickname. Yeah, I do. Yeah, it's the Viper. The Viper. How did you get the Viper? I wish it was a funniest story, but I was just, I was doing a local TV show at Mike Medoniko,

party at Mike's tree house. And I think I probably was hung over and looking for Coke. And there was no wine in my dressing room. And I was furious. And I just, and somebody said something. I said something about chain whipping and none. George McDonald goes, you're like a coiled viper tonight. And Mike McDonald brought me on stage

in the show that night is the viper. And that's just stuck. I really did say I'd chain whip a none if that fucking wine doesn't get here. And that was being the viper. This is weird though, because I came up with like Patrice, Billy Burr, Dane Cook, none of us drank. No, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I would close, that was supposed to close at one, we'd go to the tool and a cops would come and then we'd lock up

and have the cops drink, what else is there, and we would stay all night playing cards and drugs and just we were insane. And a lot of us, we didn't care, because we drank everywhere for free. They gave us money. They gave us money and we were just phenomenal. Well, wow, was that guy's gonna get laid in high school

and now I'm fucking everything, you know, and it was just... Literally everything. Yeah, I mean everything. I'm talking about things that weren't even we picked up These two chicks called the most is the most wins. I think we met them in the Bahamas you brought the back But they fucked everyone and they cleaned the house. I'm not kidding They were not so rich and they would blow you. It's fucking beautiful And if I ever met them I would bite them flowers You wouldn't know what they look like You never saw anything but the top of their head

Yeah, but they would they see nice they would I was in the split a special room One is dead One has to be dead No No, we don't have to be We had a room upstairs It's a sperm room

That was his head It was just a room was big enough just for a mattress I did not, I slept on a couch downstairs The sperm was for emergency But everyone up did a fuck I remember one night I one five of them emergency. You couldn't find someone else's bedroom. Well, the first one, Mike wouldn't let us in

as bed room. He had a real bed room. He had buckets of vomit in his room. I am, but I was on the first floor. I like to walk. But you had to watch. I had a porch. And a porch, but a window,

you could walk out after if you had to. And dump your vomit if you could. The girl would move. But you had a bucket in your room. Oh, yes, he did. A five gallon Dunkin' Donuts pale, that have like, jelly and something. I remember you had his show, kids are coming. We went to get Lenny's autograph.

Let me see if he's in children. Not going to be lying there. It'd be puke everywhere. It's head to be in a bar to go. Yes, I'll get Mr. Clark to sign those up and I would just sign them a hand-up and then go away. Can people get by?

But I block, you know, he would have a bad reputation or worse. People would go by, but when you leave, it's, don't forget to take your comp to my tree box of Lenny albums. We met, I met an album. And he would have an album? Yeah. Well, there's none left.

But life sucks. I still have two copies of it. He would give people cash. Anybody from the enquiry that would like to make some of my albums up. Would you like a box? And I got a TV show. I was a Lenny Clarks late show. Comed Lenny Clarks late show. On TV 30 and a lot of hosted bad movies like a viral, you know, and it ran as long as you had material. I mean, we would we come on after

the bronze game or after the Red Sucks game and we would go until we run out of stuff. Everyone was on show. Go wait and be right. He was like, one of the head riders on it and Mario's and anyone who was at my show that night. Basically, anybody who could come up with something we could do could be on the show. I remember when I was so high, everyone said they're going to come. No, it wasn't we. Yeah, we and then no one would come.

I said, you fucking bad. I got to go do the show. That's why I had no material. Nothing. So I went and I usually was pretty good. Take one, take two, take two. I was like, take 18 and a guy says Lenny Are you why it nice? I'm not gonna lie to you. I was don't go call call like no. No. Are you why it for sound?

The whole fucking station The bathroom one time doing lines. They had lava. Lea my god, and it's coming through the studio I'm gonna go Lenny your live you Oh shit. I'm sick of this. What year is this here? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that fucking burns. How many years did this shit go on though?

How many years you guys stay here? Oh, too many. Too many, too many, but. I've been sober, I'm sober coming up on 15 years. And I get sober once for like 13 months and then I went out for 18 years. I get sober for 11 months and months. Yeah, because I could tell about you

Get's all when you broke down the door one night. Well, I didn't have a key. Yeah, I'm under a mat That who wants to bend down and then I went to a meeting and I just kept going and then I got so Then I went that I went crazy and I was out for years. And, you know, it's all a blur. You know, I mean, I made that movie when stand up, stood out and stayed mad and said to me, so what was the most impressive thing about that movie? The fact that they filmed it.

I didn't know the cameras were there. Because you know, back then, cameras were like the signs of a fucking coffee table on the video camera. It was very huge. And I was watching a movie going, who had a camera in the dress room? I don't remember that.

It wasn't like a little. You can video your phone now This was like a fucking huge thing. Yeah, and we would like and we would work every single night Sometimes six seven shows a night I mean it was the it was the height of comedy and every place was opening like Joey subs in comedy I mean fucking pizzas play every place was open. Oh, there was three shows your brother had what was that jokers right? There was jokers comedy connection and nicks We're all on the same street and every Saturday they were all sold out everyone I would do all three of those

I do three at nicks through the connection and two with jokers and then go over to I do something nine shows every night No on the weekends on the week, but I worked every day Monday through set Monday We work every night and we always had cash in what year was this 80 something yeah I got I left Chicago in 80 or 81. And it never went back. I mean, it went back to work, but I would never. I would never get my stuff, but it actually had been stolen by my heroin addict roommate, so.

But they don't have, I mean, like, you hear these stories. And like, look, me, I came up with cool guys. And we came up with like a second boom of Boston. When Nick was back, they were doing up and down. The Charl Street was down the street. Dick was around the corner and we'd run around to do all these shows but you know it's not and we hung out and we did that shit and we bang brawds and we kind of a strength but we fucking made up for it and pussy but yeah we're checking back and forth.

What you guys did was I mean they don't do comics don't do that anymore. Oh well comics don't hang out and I don't recommend it. I know So now and I look back and if I go back I would change a lot my father once in a way wouldn't change the thing And I thought I would change I would change so much I wish I'd never discovered fucking cocaine I mean I really do you know and I said that that grass was a gateway drug and I said you a full of shit and once again I was wrong and I mean we did know, full of shit. And once again, I was wrong. I mean, we did everything. We did every drug you could do.

And I'm lost of it. I personally spent, I'm guessing we'd $300 and a half million on cocaine. And I'm not even fainting. He's not even exact. Not exactly. That's $1,500 times in three. I was frugal.

So I had friends on the coke deal. You had people who were sick of fans who gave you coke and I would go, let's get the fuck out of it. I'd rather buy it than hang it. But he's giving it to us for free. This guy gets more excited. If you can be free, hat in this dress room, he's happy for two weeks. I got a box of free hats in my dress room.

Well, I ended up marrying my coke dealer, which was bad. I didn't think that through. And she was, yeah, at the end of the month. She was, I don't know. Can we, can we say anything on the show? Anything you can find the one. Yeah, he gets at she was, but I, but I, you know can we can we say anything on the show anything you can come yeah You can see but I but I you know I forgive her Yeah, I don't have to yeah, I know you don't because I had a sit in the coke He could do coke with her, but he couldn't drink beer and I'd be gone All right, I want drink cuz you're not that big on this beautiful. She was beautiful

Yes, she was Playboy model she was in playboy really was in that one of those college chicks of playboy and I went around the world, wherever she went, the country was gorgeous, but. You guys were famous. I wasn't so, he was. But in Boston, you were fucking famous. You were the guy.

Well, you know what? We were like fucking exactly. And when can anyone on the road, his act was so good, you probably, you were probably the highest paid I Went on the road because I liked it. I didn't have to I could have made fucking two grand a week on the weekend Just working Boston and the road because fucking fun. It was back in those days We got cash you know paid checks and checks shit We know what that was we had people who couldn't speak a little English paying us say that again

I want to venture a quick that was we had people who couldn't speak a little bit of English paying us say that again speak a long adventure with these yeah he was racist in a racist a spick of English yeah no no no no it was just I remember I won I run out of road once for 13 years you already because I broke up with Carol you know I'm with the overbite yeah yeah, yeah, I Proficia Karen Apple and rather than a call on the fucking jet It was hot. I should be car an apple. Oh, she had a future. Yeah, she's gay And so rather than go home third I went on a road and I just oh God it was insane And because you you could go on the road for as long as you want well the punchline chain had 12 weeks a year You could work just and the funny bone the funny bone had a bunch of money

I never I never I didn't have to leave the Eastern Seaboard Yeah, I work from Florida up to fucking Boston up to I landed just for the punchline I mean you guys did all the strugs and all that crazy shit looking back now He was sober all you know we all got a shit together, but I mean that must have been fucking I mean fun. Oh well It was a lot of laughs, but it never once in all the times I did blow and drink and I never once did I'd ever end up fun for me because I was the one who could never go to sleep. He would take a five milligram Valium look like a fucking rhino shot in nature movie

It's that stagger I go sit down for your fall on someone. I take 20 of them. I'd still be up drinking Plus I had a habit of going From like 190 pounds to $300. Oh, yeah. Back to like, he was like Elvis. At one point I think we had Elvis in him. I was in. I was in.

I mean, it wasn't saying. It really was creepy. And it was like he said, it was, there were a lot of last probably, but I got to tell you, it's not good. I would, you know, if the young comics listen and don't do it that way. You don't need it. Really. It held a lot of us back, you know, to a times when we'd get close.

And we would fucking sabotage our own career. There's a reason you've never heard. There's a reason I've never been heard from. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. People, people, people, people. He would get high on the smashing the doors and the producers, I would do your high

and go, oh, I'll call that guy tomorrow. And tomorrow we'd never come. Because we're going to bed for three weeks. So it definitely, it definitely, you think. Absolutely. Absolutely. Now I'm having more fun now being a stand up now than I ever did in the 80s.

I actually enjoy, I can't wait to get up there. That's the rest of it that sucks. In the old days, the hotels and the money, the stand up just paid for the part that went on around it. That was like the fucking, that was the sprinkles, the bus of it was the ice cream. I mean, I got, it was great because you'd get on a jet and you'd go to a tiny, never been before. And they pick you up in a limo. They pick you up and you'd get on.

They always had a coke dealer who worked there. And always had a travel. And I was like, at Hot Weightresses and you know, and it was, you're gonna get paid, you're gonna get laid, you're gonna get laid, you're gonna have fun, you're gonna get high, and you're gonna meet new people. But the thing is, I don't have any of those memories. I don't have any of those memories. So that's someone said, well, at least you have the memories

I go, that's the thing. I don't. There's 25 years of my life that is really like a fucking blank slate. Oh, and I was a blackout drinker for that. All right, let me ask you a question. You were terrible, I couldn't do it. What's the, out of all this, not now, not now,

but then, what was the greatest show, or showbiz moment that you had? You know, like we always have this thing, like with me, when I got a tour of Gazzin with Dane, and I found it was gonna be on HBO, I was like, holy fuck. Like what was the greatest moment? I did not even in 83.

That was huge. That was huge, but the last thing you said even was you were a very funny young man, which tells you how long ago that was, and we'll have you back. I should have nailed them down to a millennium. Right. You never had you back? No. They've colorized it.

They've colorized it. They've colorized me a little bit. They've colorized me a little bit. What was your? My mind was the Rodney Dangerous Special on HBO. It was amazing. My brother Mike was in LA and he had said to me, you know,

Rodney's auditioning people, I went up to Rodney, so Rodney, we take a look at me, he says, kid, I just seen 15 out of comedians the last couple weeks, you know, I'm gonna go home and get blown. I can't see, you know, how do I say it? Okay, so I'm gonna blow him. So what are you doing?

Mike says, ask him if you go to New York, so he could have come to New York, if you come to New York Monday night, I'll take a look at you. So I flew back to the coast, we got on a train, went down there, and went in, and it was almost all set. He was looking at a few more people.

I went in and had a great fuck and set me high at me on the spot. And from there, one thing led to another and then I ended up getting my own show on CBS. Wow. I mean, I went there to I get discovered in Montreal, but not so much for my stage performance as for my Schmurzing performance. I mean I There were stories I can't tell because there's still a few people that are alive that they were involved with it

But you know, I went from basically a nightclub comic to a million dollar contract in a matter of weeks And it was and then they look I'm no we're gonna name the show after you and whether this end It was it the show came on it was a big hit. It was like at a top 20 show on CBS high is ready since all of the family and Then the war broke out the first golf war broke out on a lot of PC times that we can bring in a war on a golf and then From there the show got canceled, know I got the voice the last the man has done the golf it was really if you were really funny to get you know the show was funny show is from yeah good writers they wouldn't show them they canceled they wouldn't show the war they cancel every show on TV after they did not get Johnny Capon air cheers was done cheers

and other and 15 more years that was it mash over on but they did that Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,?

and 500 seats, Jam's a grown room in one fucking street, three-five. You're gonna work, they're dropped, you know? And if you weren't fucking good, we'd let you out open or we'd let you know, to go to... We were two great guys in from town who weren't that funny, but they were just great guys hanging around with us.

And then there was the guys that were wickedly funny, and amazing Jonathan, who were also great guys to hang out with, and it was just a fucking party. And if you were fucking great, and we like you, you fucking, you ruled here. And people would fucking come here two, three times a year, you know, and they'd stay a fucking party. And if you were fucking great and we like you, you fucking, you ruled here. And people would fucking come here two or three times a year. You know, and they'd stay for fucking weeks. And the last moments in Votas,

Comodidad 10th of 2019 with 99. Daisman, much for Andal. When I came up, I mean, it was all you guys. You were gone, you were gone. You were around, you'd pop in every once in a while with your fucking, you mean, it was all you guys, you were gone, you were gone, you were around, you'd pop in every once in a while, what you fucking... You know, I am my full man in my... But you know, you had that pre...

You know, that's the Viper, you know, we were walking... You know, insecure I was. That's so funny. It was totally an insecure fucking drug addict, that's all it was. That's funny too, because I walk into... I walk into clubs now in the middle of the MC. I feel like they're being dicks to me, and I'm kinda like a dick back, but then they're like, no, we're big fans,

and they're just nervous, and I'm like, I'm fucking nervous too, dude. Exactly. I don't know, because you care about what you're doing. Yeah, I didn't care then, but I was always afraid I'd calm, and I was all false. Well, they were all big fucking front.

They would go come up to you and go, all right, you get five minutes, and then Sweeney would walk in, or you'd walk in or Vinnie Favoreto would walk in and they'd just go up up up and Fuckin level and you literally your eyebrows are just up for like 20 minutes 30 minutes Just you I haven't like I haven't like close I haven't blinked in 20 minutes I'm just watching like what the fuck you know what look how good you are now. Yeah, seriously. Now I'm not being a, I mean, I was,

because I was, I was working in Xanies. We did two shows to the same guy, one guy. Right. I thought Ricky Eudie just passed away on Xanies. He was like, if no one comes, there was a less than ever, the world series. Mother's Wednesday night, he has no one comes in. I'm gonna pay you guys in it.

We were getting 125 a week, two shows a night, two days a Sunday. Yeah. And we got beautiful eight o'clock. Somebody pays a 250 cover in Synthetic. It was who's first? Was me, Cap and Aaron, maybe emo? And we got up into the show tonight, 20 minutes. If they loved everything I said, including hello, right? My material was going in four minutes. This guy had such a good time. He repaid the cover and stayed with the second show. We had a couple thing to the same guy

and do it to another set. And I just, I just brought up a bottle of Cuervo. And I said, I just said, what do you want too, and I said, I just said, what do you want to talk about? I was at a material three minutes into my last show. I just sat on stage and talking on for 10 minutes. But seriously, the precedent you guys set back in the day with that crazy the way you got, the community that you actually made of what comedy is in Boston,

actually folded over to when I came up when it boomed again and you know you guys were still coming around so it I think it totally made us I remember me in Daintalk and like you had the fucking kill to survive. Oh God you had the kill. Well there was a reason for that Bobby. One was you didn't want to bomb in front of your pals because they taught you I was fucking taught you. Oh, it was fucking hobb. Exactly. Well, if he was bomb and I was having one of the time I liked. And the crowds would fucking turn on you and I'm like,

you did that fucking joke last week because they were the same crowds. You know, no, no. And there was no shit night. If you did anything that you had done the week before people would throw shit. We had, we had theme nights where you'd have to do okay lobsters. Everybody has to do three jokes about the house. You by the house of dreams. You don't do that And also also it's like you said there were there were guys that we liked who weren't that good But what great fucking guys right and we would give them a choice shot

You know, we would put them on before you know, they would put on set like him You know we put him on he but that is face That's it. What's the podcast on the podcast?

Terry's not a forced to stand a slurry. She's a little upset. That bite. Maybe you should have tried to run this part, guess by him. You were slapping. But you know the getting back to what we're talking about,

never mind the famous guy. I wish I had known that we were a part of something that was so huge, because it didn't really dawn on me till 20 years later, but that was like an amazing thing going on in Boston. It comedy everywhere in the country, but Boston was like, there was just this entire group of really, really funny, all different style comics that hung out together.

And everyone came here. Everyone, everyone came. Everybody wanted to come to Boston. I still get people, you know, it's one ton I never got into. I go, we couldn't get everybody in. Yeah, yeah. I mean, people in the room, can you give me the boss? And if I could, I would.

But it's not like it's it's gone. It's gone. It's never coming back. It's never coming back. People are still going, well, remember the old days you go, yeah, they're gone. They're gone. They're gone. We had a reunion show. Few years back. The thing hurry on the summer. The day square, summer theater. And I got to tell you, Bobby, it was fucking fantastic to have everyone back. And you just looked at all the people and said and some more data. And I gotta tell you, Bobby, it was fucking fantastic to have everyone back and you just looked at all the people and say, oh my God, you know what? Like the waitresses from the Ding Ho came back to you.

Oh my God. Yeah. I don't wanna, I fucked her. Yeah, that should you'd say it go well. I guess I gotta when she was good. Yeah. Oh, like, why do you think it's gone? What do you think happened?

We burned it out. I'll tell you, my personal opinion is, is it got to be tooth thin, you had clubs, So, why do you think it's gone? What do you think happened? We burned it out. I'll tell you, my personal opinion is, it got to be two thin. You had clubs. You'd satellite clubs all around the city plus the ones downtown. And then seven nights a week, stand up comedy was on television. You had to get the improv. You had to stand up, whatever to stand up.

There's like 30 of them. We all did them. And people just got, I remember some of them coming in a land of go, well, this is real different on live. I go, yeah, you can leave your house. You don't have to watch it Yeah, and that became what stand up was five minutes. Yeah, it was people if someone could get five minutes Like tight five minutes you get on fucking the let all shit or yeah, so what what costume was gone by them But I mean it was it just the TV, you know, it just killed it killed the life You know, I mean.

Everyone even, you know, that whole 80s thing, kind of. Yeah, you know, people crashing in when you know, we all jumped out of the plane, so I was dimpled the shoot. A lot of people died. A club's net. A lot of people like comics, that. Real dead, yeah, dead, like not having a bad show. A friend of ours getting murdered, dealing coke.

We were doing coke in his funeral. That's how fucking into the deep to the coke. I was into it. And the last coke in his guys' hands. The last calls were for me and him. And we got investigated by the police. And I was saying, man, what was I saying? Oh, I know, because I was in his book.

I know what was bad. But they were from the mine. Yeah, we love the guy. We love the man. He's a good guy, you know. But now you guys, now you guys are scrambling like the motherfuckers. Oh, I don't know if I got a shit together,

but I'm not drinking a drug. But I mean, you guys are at a point now. And Oh, I don't know if I got a shit together, but I'm not drinking a drug. But I mean, you guys are at a point now. And look, you know, in the older, I've been doing it for a while too, like 20 years or so, coming up on 20. And it's actually, I enjoy it now more, like you were saying, because now we're happy. Oh, it's about the craft now, right?

And just getting the blow and getting blown by it. It's still about getting blown, but this is bad. I got to mean somebody who's really mad at a father. This is fun. Well, I just say, hey, you want to really piss off your husband or boyfriend, fuck me. And the thing right now, it's so much fun. Plus, it's just one show.

And I remember it. I don't remember a show, but I remember the fun we had, know in the travel and like the fact that this tour is ending tonight at this sucks You know because it's back to the real world for me tomorrow. It's like okay back to the matrix Yeah, right? Yeah, but it this is I mean like Dennis Well, I mean I've done tours before in this tour like I said to my wife the other night I go I when I came home I was like, you know first of all I'm working with Dennis and you guys it's it's like I'm just happy. I'm just excited to be here. I'm a fan. I haven't been a fan on a show Because I'm usually guys I know then you know, of course I'm fans, but I'm walking around you smiling and listening to yours

And yeah, we think that's laughing I'm the fucking hang around with. You're very, very fucking fun. You're very funny. The only reason that you probably didn't end up in a jail cell, this is your young. It's your young. You know, we missed one.

Yeah. Well, the thing that's great about this tour though, like I said to my wife is like, Dennis, it's crazy that he actually brings his friends, a band, all his people that he knows, on tour, pays everybody. Five stuff. I mean, he's five stuff. Five stuff, top shelf, I mean.

You don't have to worry, it's not like you have to think about, it's like, yep, all you have to do is show up the first day and then you have to ride, hold on and ride it up. And then he gives all the money, the money to a charity. So he's doing this. Yeah, he's doing this to make his friends happy. And we were pissed, pissed. He said, what? No, no, no, no going to a west. No Vegas. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Dubai. What kind of shit is that? Give up your movie career for us. You have to spend time with your family that much.

We looked at the same thing with me last year and you know It was great. It was fucking awesome We did all the big shows and I had a blast, but there was something you know This one was a little different for me just and my wife said it. So this is a this is like You're you're working with You know these guys that are fucking you've looked up to and heard about and know about and now the sudden you're doing a show with them

And it's very adult too. I mean it's I, I don't know, it's the backstage, it's very fun and friendly. Yeah, well, it's, you know, it's kind of like the old days where the, where the, the headline or was the host, like Dennis is really the host of the show. Yeah.
