hey mark fake banter for the intro that's all I know how to do great good
to be here welcome to Tuesdays with stories hit her in the face with a
surfboard and then the duck fell out of his bag
surfs up and she didn't even flush knock knock who's there mark Norman and
Joe list yeah it's Tuesdays with stories everybody that's terrible this is
supposed to be cheesy
a help here we are folks it's twos gay good to see you there fatty how are you
I'm I'm okay you know I got one issue and the people the patreon members
who get the video a week early yes which is a big thing I know a lot of people
watch they get the podcast via YouTube
oh yeah YouTube's number one they say now so for those of you who are on the
page and get that a week early you'll see I got an issue with my head the
spikes over here uh-huh it's not supposed to be spiky over here looks to 80s you
see the spikes on the diagonal spikes it's a little 80s but what do you want
over there it's all it's all got a spike evenly yeah like corona it should be more
of a swoop than a spike ah well it's got a spike to swoop it'll swoop
eventually yeah I think I got to keep growing but right now I'm all spike and
I never knew this I got I remember get my haircut I got the Russian Jews cut my
hair they really are kicking ass in the haircut game oh they're great they're
number one it used to be I guess it was always they used to be Armenian or
Italian you know as a cool Italian guy like in Seinfeld and then now it's the
Russians that guy just died by the way Enzo the barber oh really Enzo the
baker oh it's this Enzo the baker from godfather and Enzo the the the barber
from Seinfeld ah well you went you went lower in volume all of a sudden I did
yeah what the fuck happened uh-oh can you hear me now you're good what the hell
happened it went it dipped Enzo is low oh but only for you the fans should
still hear me normal cuz I got the zoom shouldn't have said anything but you
can hear me now I can hear you now Verizon well it might be cuz the mic I
like to block my horrid teeth with the microphone visually ah so maybe the
microphone is blocking the audio from the computer is that possible maybe maybe
but it was a dip it's back now all right so a brief dip but we're back better
than a bean dip which I never got whoever likes bean dip you're a you're a
minority yeah what is that yet so you're dipping into beans yeah it's a bean kind
of a paste they make and you dip into it look if you want to throw some queso in
there with the bean all right but just the bean kill yourself yeah I don't like
beans I remember when I first started going to Chipotle I got the beans cuz I
thought you had to have beans right they were like black or brown they didn't say
black brown or no beans so you know me I'm a nervous fella although less nervous
now than then I just went give me the black yeah I wanted to be PC and I didn't
enjoy I didn't enjoy the beans then and it took me like you know 300 burritos
before I found the way and hey can I get no beans and they were like of course we
don't give a shit yeah they probably like they're saving saving product well
they don't care they're getting 12 bucks an hour whatever that's true that's true
but yeah I used to be a pinto man I was a pinto man for 5,000 burritos and all
of a sudden I said these pitos they take over the whole thing it's like they
gentrify it it's it it it ruins the neighborhood and so now I go black black
beans matter interesting I don't understand I don't want to get
controversial and weird here but I really this is something I genuinely
don't understand and no offense to you I don't know if you're the guy to be
asking bring it on I like it but I know gentrification is evil I understand
bad that's bad gentrification bad as I've been told I get it but doesn't it
feel and I'm just asking I don't know this I'm just questioning don't cancel
me don't fuck me in the ass with the wooden spoon but doesn't it seem like
strangely race similar to what went on in the 60s with like busting if you're
like hey don't you move in here this is our neighborhood right you get out of
here this is us we were here first and it's ours get out of here cuz you're
gonna ruin the neighborhood if you come yeah similar to like busing wow this is
a whole big can of jizz because this goes back to like black owned business or
like those black movies but we were only black people on the set all the crew has
got to be black so you're like well it's kind of that woke is so woke it's racist
thing where you're like well isn't that segregation aren't you saying that this
should all it's only supposed to be one group what about Asians what about
Hispanics you know so I agree with you when I agree don't say I'm asking a
question oh sorry I hear you I hear you there tubs but I think it's all very
kooky because you know you always you're like we don't want these people in our
neighborhood you're like yeah but this neighborhood used to be Italian but then
you came in so now it's yours and then eventually the Jews are gonna come in
then they the eastern Indians and then the Choctaw and then the Hootsu and the
Tootsies right so I I do understand the idea shit Shelby's calling us here so I
get a little nervous you respond to Shelby maybe cuz we have a little
confusion Shelby was over there we had a different thing I don't want to leave him
hang I don't want him to start a different thing he can join this thing
I'll just tell him we'll send him the zoom and he's off the hook I already
sent it to him so he can jump in and oh great so he should have the leg just let
him know we sent him a link we got started got it this is this is good pod I
think but I understand I think I understand I understand why gentrification
is bad because you price out whoever was in the neighborhood whether it be black
folks or Dominicans or Hispanics whatever you come in and you fancy up the
neighborhood and you price them out and then the landlord spikes the rent and
kicks them out so I do understand the issue there it becomes a racial thing
which it shouldn't because gentrification just means the richer guy
comes in and changes everything but it gets all racially squiggly cuz you know
races tent like the honkeys tend or the Jews or whoever tend to be more
financially stable right so I guess I I understand it but it's confusing yes yes
well it's nuance there it's complex much like everything else and nobody wants
to talk about that it's just black and white no anal intended right so so
Shelby's in here now Shelby is we doing okay because we just did the video on
our own I'll just I can send it to you is that alright I guess he can't
communicate I don't know what happens here all right oh here comes he's in
he's in oh Shelby's like oh no let's keep going the people want to hear from you
but he's there he's not picking up on this because we got we don't know what's
happening Shelby's saying things but the people can't hear only we can hear damn
well he's like the parents in Muppet babies you can't hear him so Shelby's
can I just send you this video and then will you can you piece it together okay
all right we'll just continue on if that works okay all right good enthusiasm
Shelby where the hell were you anyway he's muted but anyway so I do get it but
it is it's tricky and nuance and sometimes it's it's some of the stuff is
hard to understand I agree I agree I mean I thought we were all trying to coexist
and live together and down with hate you know the more we sit down with hate the
more we find a group to hate like I hate Republicans I hate police I hate that
they're like what happened all about love yes it's very tricky but tricky dickie
it's straight but anyways I didn't mean to go hot and heavy though I don't know what
maybe think of that but you know I get it I get it everybody wants they they
want it their way and then when you're like yeah okay well I want it my way
then they go yeah but that's infringing on me and I'm like well yeah but you're
infringing on it so it's just I think everybody's a selfish chuch and nobody
wants to bend but they want everyone else to bend yeah it's all tricky dicks
like I keep hearing people be like we got to suspend all the rents and the
mortgages which is nice but then you're like my landlord is a florist he owns
the one building with four units and if we don't pay our rent he's gonna be in
trouble yeah yeah I guess his rent would be suspended too maybe I think he makes
his dough on the on the rent I would imagine so and he's a he's a hell of a
nice guy this is a he's not Donald Trump type he's like a nice Greek fellow with
you know ripped jeans going I don't know I have a building right sounds like a good
egg I like him ripped jeans oh what is he from the 80s or they they're old we're
in tear I think I see I see well anyways what do we do I took us in a weird
direction this isn't us who are we crazy I don't know I like I feel weird it
feels like we're on you know Tucker Carlson over here mad money remember mad
money no oh that bald guy with the tie was going oh you gotta buy a Microsoft
you faggot so whatever he said oh is that the Louis CK looking guy yeah a
little bit little bit does the one guy looks like kind of like Louis I see when
like when I used to search Louis name on Twitter half the tweets were photos of
the money guy being like hey Louis on money or whatever well his whole thing is
he had all these horns like he ha ha and he was like it was like a radio
disc jockey guy like whoa I can't believe you lost all that Facebook stock
you fucking come guzzler haha and he would get all close to the camera that
was back when you could just be outlandish and be eccentric and you get a
TV show yeah I guess not anymore well this now that's all everybody's doing
that it's all online I don't know but let me run this one by you there sloppy
jalopy because I can't figure this one out this is a curb moment here and I
need your input so this is all about perception and and and reality is out
the window now so I'm walking down the sidewalk and as a big restaurant row all
these restaurants around the sidewalk the chairs the tables and I'm kind of in
my phone I'm in my own world that's on me and I noticed oh I look up and I'm
walking through the chairs like you know through the restaurant I guess on the
sidewalk and so the waiter's like hey but I'm like oh shit sorry you know so I
get back out away from the chairs now I'm on the public sidewalk and I'm about a
foot or two feet away from the sandwich board you know that thing that says like
tonight on sale we have a escargo and then Daniel or whatever it is sure yeah
so I'm about a foot away and a big gust of wind comes and knocks it over I
didn't touch it but I was a foot away so now the waiter goes geez you walked
through the restaurant you do should now you're knocking over our sign I go I
didn't touch it but I'm on my hands and knees picking this thing up I'm shining
it off with my shirt you know blowing on it trying to get the the AIDS off of it
and he's yelling at me but I never touched it I've done that before I've
had similar incidents not that but you know where you're walking through the
home depot parking lot and the car goes off and you're walking by and I'm going
hey I'm just going to buy a couple 2x4s to pretend I'm hacksaw Jim Duggan it
went off I didn't touch it yes so I've been in a similar spot but I do
understand where you're coming from you got to pick it up because it seems like
it yes but it just shows that this guy a hundred percent thinks I did that and he
if he was on a lie detector if he was in court and then they said here you hear
you your honor he would be telling the truth because that's what he thought
well that's a little I would I would take away from that that part I would
disagree with he wouldn't be telling the truth because the truth is you didn't
that's true but we start going if you believe it it's true I mean now we're
into you know I don't want to name names but that's how we got into this mess
we're in here good point good point but he I think he would pass a lie detector
yes okay so pass a lie detector I probably would because he believes it yes
sure but you can believe something's true and have it be wrong like the flat
earth or you know gays whatever it is women are funny yeah whatever it is yeah
but it's interesting how if you believe it that's it and he in his mind's like
why wouldn't I believe it you walk through you're already a piece of garbage
walking through our restaurant and then you probably got mad about me yelling at
you so why wouldn't you knock it over I mean what bad luck though that you're
acting cuckoo and then the wind swoops in that's a bad wind swoop a bad swoop
and it just shows that you know it's kind of a microcosm or whatever you want
to say a little metaphor for the whole country right now because somebody like
covid's not real then some idiots are like hey the Jews are ruining our economy
and then you know cops or whatever you know but who knows if they're right or
wrong but they're going with it yeah it's I mean it's up and down and over and
out I don't know who to believe what to believe you know they say you got to go
to alternative news sources and yet this news is bad MSNBC is bad and Fox News is
bad and NBC is bad and CNN's bad and your mother's cunt smells and so I go and
read everything I'm reading like cuckoo Q and on I'm reading NBC I'm watching this
I go and I read Dave Smith's tweets I'm looking at Tim Dylan's tweets and I look
over here and over there up my ass and then I look at just what I'm seeing out
my window yeah and it's all wild everyone uses the same the sources when
they don't when it fits their thing and they don't use the sources when it
doesn't like one guy I saw one guy claiming everything's bullshit and he's
using the CDC's numbers aha but I'm like well so now you use the CDC wouldn't
they be bullshit if you're saying everything's bullshit I don't know what
the fuck it's true it's the sandwich board all over again I saw a thing with
Fauci where some guy was like so our protests are they causing covid and he
was like well I don't know you know and he's like well he said we can't go to
church or funerals or parties why wouldn't a protest he's like well you
know and then the news on one side says reporter destroys Fauci burned him to the
ground and then what the other the other side says Fauci fail you know just
reporter fail Fauci crushed him yeah right and people don't watch the videos to
make up their own thing but yeah it seems to me that outdoors is fine I mean
outdoors I'm over here I blew three guys in the woods the other day it's outside
so it doesn't I'm not gay and I mean I just think we should be able to go to a
ballgame all of a sudden but now they got this this isn't even our podcast this
should be a bonus that we're getting too kooky here yeah it's cuckoo bananas over
here but now I read they have the spit test they have the test where you spit
on it like it's a cock and it tells you eight minutes later if you have it they
should be mass producing these fucking things they cost five bucks they can be
sticking it up our ass for 12 and that way we could go to the ballgame sit
outside the park hawk a loogie on it wait five minutes and they go you're
good to go get in there and have a hot dog and a beer I love it that's a great
idea and and you know I don't want to speak out of jizz but I I missed a big
couple of gigs cuz the guy was like I you've been traveling I don't know what
you got and then I got tested but the results took three weeks these three
week test our friend James Heskey who's one of the funniest guys in the world if
you don't follow follow him on Twitter and Instagram folks funny guy but he had
a funny way he's like he tweeted the other day he's like great news guys I
did not have COVID on July 15th it was like he tweeted on like August 12th
joke I guess if you saw the dates it would be a funnier joke but but anyways I
mean I don't know but there was some good news today today being Monday the New
York Times said we're a lot closer to herd immunity than we thought did you
see that oh I did not amber herd what happened oh I had Sarah hold my ankles
in the air and I came in my own mouth and my glasses so what is it your
birthday almost I don't really now yours is coming up
all that's right yeah boy 37 how old is that so I'm a I'm a geezer yeah well you
haven't caught me yet all right probably never will
that we'll see all right so what is eventually you will if I die
that's true you know wow wouldn't that be something a silent reattacked
um feels like most reese are quite noisy actually seems like but Rihanna
wait wait what's the good news oh so anyways it says we're closer to herd
immunity but I mean who knows what the fuck that goes back to what we're
talking about it's the Times so all the people that are anti New York Times
should be like that's bullshit that's a lie but anyways the New York Times
released a thing today saying originally they thought would have to have
a 75 to 80 percent of people exposed to get herd immunity but now they think it
might be 45 to 55 percent of people and in cities like New York we may have
already reached that which may be why we haven't had a spike or an uptick in
in fucking three months that makes sense I mean I don't want to jizz on my own
asshole but I think I have herd immune I think I'm good to go I think I might
do I mean I had quite a cough back in the day and we obviously in America were
ignoring the shit for weeks while it was ravaging everywhere so we were going to
shows we're at the cellar the basement the airplanes so most likely we were
exposed back in March I mean we were all over the place kissing our parents and
shit yeah yeah yeah I fucked my mom and I think I had it still I really think I
got it and got over it yeah so we might be we might be better we might be okay
soon all right hey finally some great news I read this article today was so
depressing I'll send it to you is it's called uh is New York dead hell yeah
blow me or something it was a horrible title and it was just I read the whole
thing and it's just like yeah yeah it's not coming back and he listed all the
reasons why it's gone and not coming back he's like it's gone before we had 9
11 we had a recession we had Wall Street we had this but it's never coming back
well here's the thing with that first of all as we know as we've talked about I'm
sorry we'll get to the Tuesday shit in a moment we're throwing in some anal jokes
though yeah I quit with all at all it's all been said before you know forward to
New York drop dead back in the day and and all that shit and we know that that's
what sells that's capitalism this is why we're in such fucking turmoil yeah bad
sells if you go to New York is gonna burn down in 2022
whoo click click click everybody pass it around but also everyone's talking about
as an uptick in crime which is obviously true and it's happening it's weird a guy
was shot at Grand Central but we were at a 30 year low of violence so we're up
ticking from a low spot it's not 1977 out here I mean crime has been plummeting in
the city for decades oh yeah now it's up ticking but I think I think it'll be
okay I hope but his argument was that we got all these skyscrapers everybody
goes yeah but the financial capital of America's in New York City you got the
stock exchange you got Wall Street you got this and that but he's like it's all
zoom now so we don't even need the building so now you can just do that
shit from Nashville that's a good point I think I heard that too now don't get me
wrong my counter argument here it's coming from a you know a retard I'm
like a hockey fanatic comedian I don't know what the fuck I'm just trying to
look at a positive spin here but I heard the same thing we got all we got crazy
real estate and no one wants to use it and everyone's going why would we go
back to the office right I mean I feel that way now and I understand people
want us to do in person we'll go back to some in person here but there is
something to the fact that I'm like when this podcast ends I close my computer
and I could take a shit on the bed yeah I'm not in Greenwich Village I don't
have to get on a train to a train to a train so even in our profession I'm
doing these zoom shows I love it I eat my dick and just close my computer I get
it I love I love eating dick and closing computers but it's funny did a call back
to Johnny Depp he he was apparently reported that he shit on his own bed
you hear that now I didn't hear but he doesn't seem like he's doing well that
guy no he seems a little sloppy and speaking of which Poppy died by the way
and zoan poppy and zoan poppy who's next Kramer he says well he died on stage
but yeah I don't know it's it's it's scary I just hope it comes back I just got
this new apartment and here's the clinker I don't think they're gonna lower the
rent well that eventually have to rent I mean Vita we think we might have talked
about this before I know I say that a lot yada yada but Vita said in order for
I think we have the same water bottle how about that I said yeah it's good for
reflux this is all I ever drink is that right that's what a doctor told me and
then I fucking bought it and that's all I do now it's all it's all water it's all
the same it's tap water but I guess there has to be enough vacancies for the
prices to come down so all the time you see a moving truck that's good news to
me oh interesting but here's the here's the juice juice here's the weird stuff if
if you signed a lease they got you it's not gonna go down to that lease is up
right that's a good point I got a long lease to same it's it's a weird times and
by the way Chris Allen hung with him had a nice cigar I think I talked about that
already maybe I can't remember but yeah had a nice cigar hung with him good hang
good guy you know he's not fat anymore which is really disappointing I forgot
that he actually was fat at one point is he still black yeah yeah oh yeah damn
can't win them all but but so he showed me we were talking real estate and just
blah blah blah ring and he sent me a photo of his home and what he pays for
his mortgage appalling I'm moving I'm gonna move up there I mean I'm gonna be
Chris Allen's neighbor he's he's tolerable I'll move out there wow I mean
he lives in Charlottesville or whatever the hell it is I probably shouldn't have
said that but he lives out in Virginia you really want to live in the middle of
the hell like that I mean have you seen his house he's got one of those the
what do you call the porch a wrap-around porch with little white fucking picket
things his yard is the size of Central Park and he pays like three and a quarter
for his mortgage it's insane oh wow driveway the works I mean he's out there
I mean he's got 48 guns because he's got bears and you know white people in his
area tiki torches but I mean it's a hell of a home I could save like 1500 bucks
a month and have like a 12 bedroom house I know then you could just you're right
by DC you got a hub you can fly all over the country do gigs I know I have to
you know live near Chris Allen but other than that it's pretty great yeah yeah
and his son his son is a little so you'd have to babysit probably but yeah that
seems seems nice but I like New York but then again if New York's nothing's open
what's the difference right but here's the thing this is what I realized it's
like my hometown by Bruce Springsteen which is you know my favorite you know
you guys you guys know how I feel but there's a great part of the end of the
song where he says you know last night me and Kay we laid in bed talking about
getting out packing up heading the south and then he goes up 35 I got a boy he
says he takes him around he says take a good look around this is your hometown
meaning you know they sit there they chat what if we went here what if we went
there but ultimately you're like ah we got a life we chose a life we're here
what are we talking about we're not going anywhere all right I hope you're
hoping I'll leave I don't be stuck here alone paying eight million dollars a
month and getting bugged in the subway well it's fun to imagine that you do all
my god if we lived here if we lived here I'm like we got an apartment we decorate
it we got the office downstairs and I live here I'm a New Yorker been here
for 13 years yeah same same I love it I love my new apartment and I love all
the comedy clubs I love the other New York comics I love seeing them I love
sitting in a cafe I love going out to eat I like the whole kitten caboo and then
you got Brooklyn you got Queens you got so much oh yeah it's the best and not to
mention now I got I got a car I'm going out to Jones Beach tomorrow morning and
you got the the US Open coming to town every once in a while once a year and
then the other thing is when a band goes on tour you know they're hitting New
York you got that right you live in Richmond you go oh I guess we got to go
to DC right right yeah no band is skipping New York and then if you want to
do the DC improv which is the big club there I guess you got about three clubs
you got Arlington you got DC and then you got the draft house that's pretty good
actually that's not bad but it's something to something to think about
someday whatever bullshit but you know who knows the thing is nobody knows the
future it's all guesswork even if they work at Vanity Fair the New York Times
they're just guessing they don't know what the fuck yep yep yep yep I hope it
comes back that's all I can say and I think it will but what the hell do I
know I don't know anything about the economy real estate or children no I
don't understand nothing either but one thing I do understand is in these times
you tend to get a little sweaty it's hot it's humid it's summer look what he's
got folks if for the folks not watching Mark is holding a cup of or what do you
call it a scoop of native deodorant was that a tube yeah what is it deodorant
canister maybe tube a roll-on what the hell is it a deodorant cube cartridge to
he's got a cartridge of deodorant folks hey anyways it's native deodorant Mark and
I love it they sent us it to a they sent it to us a while back and I just started
buying it I buy it cuz I love it they sent it to me I used it I love it Sarah
loves it it's all natural it's also vegan by the way it's never been tested on
animals either this is some first-class stuff native is made from natural
ingredients there are things you've actually heard of like coconut oil
shea butter and tapioca starch did you know that the aluminum and deodorant
can actually plug in your sweat glands to keep you from sweating that's why
native never uses ingredients like aluminum parabens sulfates or talc Tom
Dustin years ago we thought he had cancer because he was using some you know
whatever deodorant and he got that he got that filled his pour in he had a big
lump really you yeah from using that aluminum crap so switching to an aluminum
free deodorant doesn't mean you have to sacrifice on odor protection by the way
native will keep you smelling fresh all day long mark you got it in your hand
tell him about it I love this though this is cucumber and mint it's subtle but
it's fresh this is how strong this shit is me and the lady use it we use the same
roll we'll just put it on and it's strong enough for my pubes and good enough
for her armpit hair so I love it strong enough for a man made for a douche do

I mean a crazy first half I feel like we got to get sillier in the second half

yeah I just want to know but it feels it's scary to ask questions you know you
get the it ain't my job to tell you what's what like all right sorry Jesus
Christ well now I figured it all out nowadays you can be a bad person for
asking I know which is that's very unhealthy we'll get nowhere you isolate

they go look at this fucking guy this chute over here is you know alt right
I'm like wait what I'm not even alt so here's a clinker I was walking doing my
daily walk around the village and I bump into none other than Ram Ram Ram Ram

bottle here's the thing with a note you got to write four notes I want one on the
on the wood and the podium I want one in the bar I want one in my asshole and
put one in the bathroom and then stick one on the menu yes and you know what
give me a note as well so I can keep it on my wallet and I'll throw it at the
waiter when the time is right so I go you sure it's on you and he goes it's on
me baby and I was like he must have heard the app because he was hammering it
he was hammered at home this was all I got this and I go all right all right I'd
even go back really screw up I'm not fall for that again full now it's just in my
ass fool me twice I'm gay now did you walk by to get a sense to feel it out or
anything no no no no I walked by like five in the afternoon it was already
dinner time but part of me wants to go in there and go hey you got any notes for
me but I'm not falling for that one again come on I think the note question is a
good idea go in there and say hey are there any notes left by old wrong yeah

needle it's all notes yeah I don't trust that guy ramen noodle there I don't

bad for you they say it's horrible for the joints it's bad on the bones and the
the noggin especially the the sidewalk it's all cement here I got no track near
me or anything everyone smile go to the park but anyway so I'm running and you
know you get the feeling that it's gonna rain it's drizzly there's rain in the
forecast it's gray the whole thing so I go for a run and the park is there's a
little park a few blocks away from me here in Astoria down by the river and
Matt Foley so I run down there I go I don't run too far I'll stay nearby
cuz I can tell it's gonna rain any moment so I'm about two miles in it
starts spitting so I got the spit going and I'm starting to get nervous that
it's gonna be a downpour you don't want the skies to open up I got my phone on
me I got my cash I got my air buds in or my Ray cons in yes and I don't want it
to get too crazy so I finish up the run but I want to get the whole run in I
finish the run now I'm going to lots of bagels to get my morning bagel my
Starbucks it's all routine and as I'm getting to Starbucks about a block away
just that ah sky opens up which I never understand what that means it doesn't
actually open up just no no it stays dark it's not a labia but whatever it
just starts torrentially pouring that yes so I run into Starbucks I'm just
soaking wet and they're all like is it raining I'm like yeah it's fucking
raining you fucking son of a bitch and now it's raining oh my girl's a squirt or
what do you think in the old days you would go in and you just go alright I'll
just wait it out in Starbucks I'll be wet but there's they kick you out there's
no fucking around anymore right so I get my tea and I'm like alright I got to go
outside so I go and for a minute I'm standing under the the awning but then
you're just like well how long am I gonna be here for the storm is too long I'm
already wet so I'm like fucking I'll just go for it so I go to lots of bagels I
go in there I get my bagel my banana my cinnamon roll they put it in the brown
paper bag I walk out of there I stand in the awning I'm like I'm just going for
it I live about oh two blocks but it's like a cross blocks you know okay so it's
long like like the avenues in Manhattan right so it's probably I don't know a
quarter mile or something like that and it is just torrentially down pouring so
I'm jogging I got a hot tea in this hand with the little green sword but it's
still spitting up there so I'm getting little hot spikes like little little
spits of boiling water on my thumb hot spit I hate it my thumbs boiling I got
the paper bag I'm carrying like a football but it's just deteriorating it's a
paper bag right right so it's coming apart so I got a squee I got a banana
squeezed under my elbow I got a cinnamon roll in this hand and a bag let's just
getting wet direct rain on my whole wheat ah and I'm running and trying to
hold all of them I'm soaked and my phones in my pocket that's bouncing around my
shorts are soaked so the phones getting wet you don't want a wet phone that's a
whole situation hate a wet phone so then I get to wrap wet as phone I'll take it
so we we get out I'm across the avenue 30 I don't want to say where exactly where
I live but I'm on a 30th this avenue and I get the red light so I'm like all right
oh and this car's whizzing by so I'm like I'll wait under this dry cleaning
awning until the light changes and right when I'm laying there I've never been a
guy that's afraid of lightning it's exciting it's cool I'm sitting there and
it just goes the loudest thing I've ever heard it had to have struck the
lightning or whatever like six feet from me and the whole sky lit up it hurt my
eyeballs like it flashed like wow like rear window it just was like it sent like
flash ballies and I went what I jumped like scraggie or scrappy whatever the
fucking asshole is not scooby who's the dude the joint guy Casey Casey
Sammy Sosa what's his name oh he has the beard scratch well the scrappy do that's
the cousin the small dog yeah shit what's his name Casey casem plays them
yeah yeah no shaggy shaggy I was like shaggy I went whoo and my my feet went
like and I just shot across the street I mean I was scared yeah it was like I'm
gonna get hit cuz I'm a conductor I'm tall I got I'm tall I got a socks hat with
a little the little metal cap thing on the top yes you're an antenna so I was
nervous I was like ducking like I was running under a helicopter because I
want to be the highest conductor or whatever right right to chew and I ran
over and then you got the keys you always fuck up the keys always fuck up the
kids like a horror movie you drop it once then the banana falls and then you
got to pick up the banana then you got to get the key and you can't get the
right one going it was wild but I got I finally got in and I dumped all the
wet bananas and the cinnamon rolls and the thing but then it was fun cuz Sarah's
always in bed she sleeps in I came in and I think I might have been sexy for
like a second hmm because I come in I'm soaking wet and it's thunder and lightning
it's dark and gloomy and I had to peel the shirt off which I think is appealing
okay had to pull the shirt off and she had like one eye open she's like who is
it is it is someone here and I was just soaked all the way through the boats I
got fully butt naked I mean my dick was you know the size of a you know like my
nephew's thumb because it was cold but sure it was it was missing like a
manual but yeah I don't know it was fun and I was wet and then I just jumped in
bed wet and nude and it was pretty exciting but I was pretty frightened for
like a split second I get it I mean first a couple things one don't you kind of
want a ton of sympathy when you come in from the rain you want everybody to go
oh my god he got caught in you so let me help you out there here's a towel here's
a hairdryer yeah I have that problem I mean it's all ego you always want the
proper reaction to everything where she sits up and she's like but it's bad out
there I'm like that that's where I was right I was out there that's what I'm
saying exactly also the other thing how crazy must it have been in like the
1400s or the 1300s when you really thought that was God or that was Zeus
or Allah whoever it is and you're on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic you
know with with the with the scurvy and the worms and the the native Americans
out there shooting you the pirates and you see a lightning bolt you're just like
oh man we're fucked God hates us oh completely I mean all that stuff that
there's so much to be this is like a more serious ish note there's so much to be
down about worried about the COVID the business but so much to be grateful for
that we have some answers to all this stuff that you're saying I mean even a
sneeze back in the year 48 someone just goes well they must have been like
fucking burn this fucking maniac what's wrong with this guy of course I mean they
even thought it was spirits leaving your body that's what they say God bless
you because they're saying like hey you got rid of that dumb spirit you idiot now
you can hang out with us yeah it's it's crazy and lightning hitting your hut and
all that shit and so yeah yeah the whole thing is cuckoo and then you have to go
well it's a week we didn't catch any deer today because that's God's will and they
go yeah I guess it's God's will you know there must have been one guy gone fuck
that I'm gonna find a deer yeah that's a good question of how many atheists were
there were back then yes I think there's a few because I've been watching this
Manson documentary and they keep showing the hippies and they keep showing
Manson being like alright so there's gonna be a pit and once we get into that
pit God will come speak to me and then I'll tell you guys they're all like oh
yeah alright great but you wonder did they buy this are they really believing
are they that stupid well those people I were drugged and like I think victims of
you know a mental abuse or something but also I think he picked up all the
people that were all fucked up from home you know that's how they all capitalized
right yeah yeah they always see so charming he was smiley and cute I mean I
don't know how charming could you be the guy was 5-1 he's got the googly eyes he's
got a swastika on his asshole like I don't know I don't buy it I don't know we
love Vita true true he's these little yeah he's got a swastika on his asshole
too but we're between you and me that's true but we're not you know you got to
have a target but we're not following him into the the abyss now it's a good
point I mean I don't even I don't even see him that much but exactly it came over
the other day it was quite pleasant alright he's very he's very soft-spoken
which I like if you know what's great about Vita is if he's in the middle of
a sentence and somebody cuts him off he just goes with it he never goes hey I
was speaking oh yeah no he's a he's a real pushover but I'll tell you he's all
jacked up now he's got his head shaved he's ripped up he's he's nothing to be
trifle with this Gary Vita no I saw a photo of him I had to close my computer
it was too intense he's that head is beaming with whiteness I know he's
really he's really come into his own and he's a dad I think or whatever oh yeah
I think he's a dad no whatever he's a father and he's got a little kid and
they're the same size yeah I was supposed to meet the kid but change of heart I
guess or plans you want to give him the herd immune I feel like you don't give it
to him now it's like chicken pox give him corona oh if I had a baby I'd cough
right in his face oh yeah totally I'd finger it but here's the thing about
what's going on in the world now the stand I don't know if I'm supposed to
say this they've been doing shows and they're pretty good and I did one the
other day and it was such a good hang was like Soder and Shane Gillis and Jessica
Kirsten and Rachel Feinstein and all these people were hanging out and we're
having a good time and I'm talking to Ian Lara and they go Mark Norman and I
just ran on stage which you know we used to do that all the time you just run up
there you're ready in these COVID days I was not ready I bombed and it was that
old-fashioned bomb of like I started with the wrong thing I dug a hole I couldn't
get out of it then my brain went blank I was sweating oh man it was ugly like you
could see a lot of audience members going like oh boy this is bad like that
whole thing covering their face and everybody was uncomfortable I was
uncomfortable whoa boy talk about bummed out after that yeah I feel you and I
hear you you're being you're being seen and heard right now Mark I just did the
bell the Bel Air show that you did the week before Jnog and similarly and there
was I forgot I plugged it hard on Tuesdays with stories I just forgot yeah we
kept talking about it so all these gays showed up and I was going I was quote
headlining I was going last and you know you haven't seen anyone since you
know November so I can't I just got home for the first time in seven months so I
was blowing him and Carmen Lynch was there and you know we love her so you
know I was eating her out and then Derek Gaines is there and he fucking murdered
and so I was you know kissing him on the lips and yeah all of a sudden same
thing they go hey you're up pal and I'm the headlock they're like the headliner
tonight and then I walk out there and I recognize the Tuesdays because they're
so loyal they come out and a killer spesh out the new hour cooking I know so I
went up there and I had nothing I mean luckily a guy in a delivery guy in a
scooter just drove straight into the stage so I made a couple cracks about
that and that killed but the material just ate a bag of cheese I just stunk it
up and at one point I just kicked over the mic stand to be funny you know you
just like do weird shit and it was just bad news bears and I felt like I
disappointed fans people came up they're like hey we're huge Tuesdays and same as
you I started my left shoe was on the right foot and the right right on the
left shoe and it was it was a piss poor performance and I know you're feeling it
we're all feeling you you write a joke and then you try it and you go I'm gonna
make some adjustments yes nine days when I do another set exactly and you can't
adjust you can't tweak and every shot is your big shot this you got to blow your
wad on every show because you don't know when the next one's gonna be but also
you have a show this was this was in front of cars I feel like you got to give
yourself a little slack Jack that's true but you know when you're a performer of
any kind or any any kind of job even you know that you're like there's plenty
of reasons that it could have been bad but I'm like but I know I didn't I didn't
prepare I didn't have it sorted out totally totally we're so used to as
doing sets every night or multiple sets a night that you can just go you're up
oh great okay yeah now now I'm like I got to sit down at a desk and have a type
writer and a calculator before I can go on same same and you know you go like I
I forgot how to do stand-up it was what it was it was such a jarring bomb that I
forgot what the art of stand-up was and then after it's over you forgot I
forgot how bad it hurts to bomb like that feeling of like oh I suck I blew it
that I had this planned out all day I was gonna go there and do this and that and
it all went to hell and just that the feeling of letting people down the
feeling of like not doing as much as you could the feeling of like people in the
audience going this guy sucks who's this guy and all that combined is a just a
real bummer factory yeah especially with the specials out and I'm getting you
know blown over here I'm so grateful I appreciate but it's emails Instagram's
tweets oh it's great you're great yeah my god this is hilarious and then you have
that ego thing when you're on stage especially at a parking lot in Queens
and there's like three tables of like like you said you could tell the audience
is like this guy sucks yes and you're like no look at the comments but what
that's one of the beauties of stand-up it's why it's such so lunch is that it
keeps you real you know you can get blown all day on Twitter and Instagram you
get the Venmo's the messages but you still got to cook when you're up there
you still got a tap dance a little you can't just you can't just let it ride
because I used to always talk to Alan our therapist and I'd be like I did this
radio show I couldn't think of anything funny I flailed I bombed I panicked and
he was like why do you do that I'm like you get in your own head you start you
know the the neurosis starts eating away at you and he goes yeah but you're a
funny guy so just be you and I'm like I get that but it ain't that simple there
Jew face it's sometimes there's a wallop yeah so sometimes yeah it's like be you
but you're like but I'm not funny all the time right you know I mean I'm at the
movie theater I'm not being funny so I'm being me I'm sitting there watching the
movie thinking about how we're all gonna die someday and that's not very funny
that's a good point I wish I had thought of that then I was just no you don't get
it you're not a comic you don't know what it's like you can't just think of
something all the time he's like but you're funny so just be you be funny I
was like ah you're you're crazy yeah that's like being like you're a therapist so
while you're taking a shit you know help me out with my problems that's not
perfect yeah why'd I get dittled you know while you're wiping your ass you know
call my dad but yeah so that that was a real wake-up call like alright this is
even though it's a pandemic even though people are sitting on the fucking
sidewalk in the bike lane you still gotta you still gotta you know go over your
shit a little bit yeah I gotta write some jokes well how about this by the way
I haven't had a dental issue in a while on the show we haven't had to go but so
way back in January I had another root canal and then they give you they do the
root canal then they give you a temporary crown while they make a new crown
which is the final goes on your tooth and that's your thing so I had the
temporary back in March and then he you know what do you call it they do a mold
to find your tooth and then they make the crown and then he was like okay so next
week we'll we'll put it in we'll stick it up your ass and glue it in I go great
I'll see you next week
boop COVID happens they do the shutdown I call him on the phone I'm shaking I'm
like I got a temporary we talked about it way back then a couple Tuesdays emailed
and said hey don't worry the temporary will last years don't sweat it so I go
great so then finally it's open I go let me go get rid of this temporary get a
permanent so I go in there to the dentist and I go all right you got that
thing still and you're always a little nervous that they're gonna lose it
because like seven months have passed right right so I go in there and I thought
it was gonna be easy peasy Japanesey I lay down and you can't you can't spit
because of COVID no you can't rinse at the dentist so they got to use the sucky
thing for everything okay so instead of spitting it usually you rinse and you
spit in the sink I guess that'll cause COVID which is ridiculous so instead they
just stick the sucky thing and vacuum your mouth the whole time I hate the
sucky thing it's very it's sucky it is so close your mouth you feel like gonna
die exactly so then and it doesn't it never gets all of it it's like it's a
mop it never gets everything yeah now I'm like swallow enlistry I'm gonna
relapse because this piece of shit and these dumb COVID rules yep he's not a
piece of shit he's a good guy but I just hate the COVID rules is my point
anyways he sticks the the crown on there I'm about to leave they go let's just do
an x-ray make sure it fits doesn't fit no fit he's like see this tiny little
space I don't see the point that I do this bit in my act I point at the x-ray
he's like you I'm like I don't know what a fucking x-ray I don't give a shit it
doesn't fit so I gotta go back he's like you're gonna have to we're gonna have to
anesthetize you again we're gonna have to remeasure the whole thing for a third
time ah what the fuck is this brutal so how do you gonna do that I mean when are
you gonna go I gotta go Thursday now they got a num me all up stick needles in
my mouth stick needles in my gums remeasure the thing and it's the third
time and I'm like well how do I know this is gonna work this time you're right
I feel like he should pay for that one like that should be a freebie if he
fucked up that ain't on you oh yeah you know I don't pay because it's still the
same service but I gotta go in there and get all numbed up and it's
unfortunate it's nobody's fault yeah yeah it's probably the the factory or
whoever the fuck's making these molds I guess yeah you broke the mold but you
know seven months later you think you're gonna pop it in it sucks and how about
this this is a little weird kind of faux pie I think so I've had the temporary on
there and it's the end of the day it was like a five o'clock appointment and the
guy's assistant this other dentist I never even met he's like I'm gonna I pop
off temporary he leans down to pop off the temporary and it clicks off and I
just get a whiff of like shit like it smells like horse shit and I was like
Jesus I was like is it infected is something wrong because I'm a panicky
guy the guy's like no nothing wrong it looks good and I was like but why does
it stink like that and he's like I don't smell it maybe maybe bacteria and I was
like bacteria in my tooth oh my god and then a couple minutes later the same
guy leans down to do something I realize it's his breath oh I got a whiff of the
assistant's breath it smelled like the inside of mr. Ed's asshole I mean
horrific and I thought I thought I had you know cancer of the tooth or something
because it smelled so rotten but he just happened to exhale just as the thing
popped off so I thought we revealed some eternal stench yes his face what is that
when I was a kid my dentist had the worst breath on the planet it's a it's an
oxy anal these guys should be brushing and flossing like this little morrow I
mean it's like a porn star can't get it up it doesn't add up it's a couple
steals well he needed oxy clean because this is some horseship but I think maybe
because it was end of the day and they have the mask on all day now so it's
you're breathing in your own shit and bacteria or whatever but I felt bad too
because I'm like that guy might know that I smelled his breath because he's
right I don't know maybe it's your bacteria yeah for a moment I was like
dude shoot me in the face if that's what my tooth smells like well is he an
Indian fella I don't know what he was because he has the mask and then he had
the fucking terminal the shield oh yeah the double the double face thing I see
I wow I went through that I mean it came right through right up my nose and
down my ass all and out and Jesus that's an epidemic or whatever the hell a
pandemic or a breathemic whatever it is that it's like a cliche that these
dentists have horrible breath yeah it was it was bad news bears but I mean I was
so relieved once I realized once I got a second and a third whiff I was like I
know what's going on here but for a good six minutes I thought the inside of my
tooth smelled like you know a village with no water right right oh man that is
wild also crazy to think all we talk about is gotta wear a mask gotta cover
the face gotta you know close your mouth don't don't breathe on people and this
guy is in your mouth exact opposite of what we're supposed to be doing right
and then I can't spit listerine into a sink but they can stick their hands in
my mouth I mean right I'm no COVID conspiracy theorist I think it's a
serious problem but there's a lot of weird shit and by the way what's going
on with the ventilator I mean I haven't heard the word ventilator in six months
I had the same thought ventilators are out we're just queefing freely I don't
know I feel like we were making them like it was like World War two we're
making dive bombers you know just like everybody's gonna chip in and make a
ventilator out of toothpaste and you know lipstick and now we don't even talk
about them yeah which by the way I'm talking about the media I'm not talking
about obviously there's still ventilators we're using ventilators I'm not
dismissing the illness I just think the media has just gone they've moved on to
you know whatever the fuck but I digress yeah I don't hear about a
hand-washing I hear about Purell I feel like a lot of things have just kind of
come and go on on my face oh I stopped washing my hands but same we gotta wrap
it up I gotta give a shout-out to everybody that has Venmo'd PayPal'd
emailed one guy from Australia sent $500 which is just insane sir ridiculous I
gave some of it to the Nature Conservancy because I thought you know his
country's on fire and I'm like this is oh yeah those were better days that's
over too yeah who gives a fuck about them yeah yeah you had your moment the
sun thank you to everyone that's retweeted the fucking done an insta story

love all you and they're such a good base like they just like funny stuff and
if you put out a funny special they will jump on it and they will share it and
they will spread the word and spread the cheeks yeah by the way about 75 Tuesdays
like love Tuesdays never seen Joe do stand up that's so bizarre to me that
people just listen to the show and don't think to watch us do comedy yeah but
that's why these YouTube's are so great because it's so damn accessible you can
just pop that thing right open and send a link off to your dad your grandpa and
everybody gets to see it yeah so then they see the special then they go to the
pod or they go to the pod then see the special so it helps itself yeah so keep
