Yes, it's crispy I love the october crisp

Baseball college football leaves changing. It is really something I got all the windows open my apartment getting that cross Flow cross fit all the windows open my apartment, getting that cross flow, crossfit, cross, crossbow. Yes, cross dress. And it is nice. It's getting cool and comfortable in there. You know what I'm so bummed about? I got a story that's just not good.

I'm so bummed. I feel ashamed. I'm ashamed. No, no, I'm right now. Oh, great, okay. I'm ashamed of myself. Somewhere online, maybe you can help me out. Chuck, chime in, Chuck, chime.

I'm the shame, get a shame, get a guess. I thought, I remember hearing that Congress got together and we put an end to daylight savings and it kicks in this year. No, we need daylight savings. No, we need daylight savings. No, we hate daylight savings. What?

Everybody hates it. Are you crazy? It's good, I mean, it's good for the farming. No, I think the farm, that's a mess now. The farmers don't even care. The daylight savings is what makes it pitch black at four o'clock for six months out of the year. I know, but I thought it had some...

Originally. Productive effects that we needed. It's like everything else. It's like the electoral college and all this other shit. It's from 1875. The horse and buggy. Cause some stages don't do it. Arizona's just like, we don't do that.

Really? Yeah. I hate the dark at four. Of course. It's a nightmare. It's a nightmare. That's what I'm saying. But I thought it was necessary for the

the food, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the earth, the moon, and the stars and sink. The fire is bullshit. You just wake up earlier. up earlier yeah it's bullshit but I thought it had passed didn't you remember you said that because Congress voted and passed it but it didn't go to the Senate or the House or the whatever the apartment my guess is it's gonna be like in this many years we'll phase it out yeah yeah but I thought it was done and here's the worst part I've been telling people I've been dropping flyers from airplanes, and everyone goes, really?

I go, yeah, you didn't see the story? I saw it in the heart to tell you. Maybe you could find some detail, because it did pass. And I told that I was in a bus. I was in a sprinter van with Nate in his whole gang. Oh, wow. Got some fun stories coming away.

But I was like, they were like, yeah, it's gonna be depressing soon, winter. And I was like, but no daylight savings. It's gonna stay light out till five and everybody went what? Yeah, they really teased it didn't they but I don't remember getting past because I remember they're going Oh, we're right there at the finish line now. We're gonna not do it Well, it was a big thing where everyone it felt like all Congress finally came up with something But it didn't go to the the castle or the moat or somewhere

to the castle or the moat or somewhere, Biden or Pelosi, I don't know, somebody. I blame AOC. But boy, she fucking sucks. But anyways, I don't know where you get to. I don't find her attractive anymore. She sucks. What are you gonna say that, Chuck? Well, this is from, here we go.

This is from March of 2022. So this is like a year and a half old. All right. It says the US Senate on Tuesday passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023. That's what I thought that's why ran around the headline. Well, they're permanent. Like it's a misleading sentence. It says it's going to be ending the twice annual changing of clock. Right. So what they mean is they're eliminating what we know as daylight saving. Fall back. Yes. But the Senate approved the measure called by the Sunshine Protection Act unanimously

by voice vote. The House of Representatives, which is held a committee hearing on the matter, must still pass the bill before it can go to Joe Biden. Joe Biden. He hates the House. The White House has not said whether Biden supports it. So I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. That's the House, but the House, they didn't do it because they're too busy. I don't know. I'm, I don't know. I don't know. That's the house, but the house they didn't do it because they're too busy, I don't know, painting or. Yes, yes, whatever. Yeah, you got to keep up the house. You got to landscape. They're riding fences, but anyways, I've been telling everybody, people want your kidding and I went, no, don't you remember starting 2023?

I remember, yeah, but I guess it didn't take. It said it died in the house at the end of the last session. It died in the house. the end of the last session. It died in the house. What is it, Biden? And so Senator Marco Rubio have floored to reintroduce the Sunshine Protection Act and send it on Wednesday of this past March. So I don't know what's happening since this past March,

but the fact is, November 4, three days ago, we fucking fell back the clocks. Is that what's pitch fucking black at 4 p.m.? Yeah, it's a nightmare. And we got all these deaths of despair with the TikTok and the AIDS and the suicide and the alcohol and the fentanyl. We need light.

Light is big, especially with the cokes running around. The cokes thrive in the daylight spring back forward time. Well, here's the thing. I mean, you know me, still say, OG, but I've been low key. I take the subway during the day, that sun goes to bed. Hit me here's the thing. I mean, you know, me still say mojito been low key. I take the subway during the day, that son goes to bed. Hit me with a lift ride. I'm not getting

on the nighttime subway ride, especially in the autumn, where it's oh, yeah, Halloween is a buzz and then the ghouls are out. But that sun goes down. It's like the purge. Exactly. No, sometimes we leave the studio or you go to a movie or you come out in out and it's dark and you're like, ooh the Lopper. Totally. But it is also weird when you come out of a movie and it's bright. That's a weird feeling. You're like, what the hell? I thought we did we work this out. Well, that's the old bar feel. Remember we would write super-suds and I'd be like, let's have nine beers to get us flowing. Those were the days.

And then you leave. We you got to finish that script Yeah, we'll get on it. We got a good bite on it. I think in 2011. We got a chunk out of it Maybe we should write something. Yeah, it's not easy. We never try anything. Well, we do this. Yeah, that's true This is 12 years of Intertain that's true. We had the good years of Shelby and yep, all downhill after that. But Chuck is filming. We had a good run It's a bit we'll find a new guy, but yeah We've gone through a lot of iterations many studios. We had a cat at one point in here big cat Don't care for the cat. We had I think of the producers Ben G Becky fatigate remember the other guy

the producers Ben G. Becky, Fatigate, remember the other guy? Friedman. What was his name? Lex. No. He had a big Jew fro. His name was, uh, Jew Friedman. Yeah, yeah. Oh, not really going to Jew Beck. Very quiet early on at standup New York. He was one of the guys. Oh, yeah.

Friedman. He was quiet. He laughed. Oh, yeah. I think he died that music fest in his real name. I need to see the the photo of the fro Five Frodo well, I'll figure it out But anyway, he was there and then we had we went that we had black Lou for a minute Serious boy, we've been all over town. I hope you guys appreciate the the consistency and the Shelby for years the glory, as they're known. Sure, sure.

And Chuckie, which I just watched Child's Plan, never saw that movie. Not a fan. It's fun. Yeah, there's some action and there's some some frights, it's silly. I just saw dumb money. Oh, that's the movie.

That's the movie they made like in the middle of the thing that it's about. The game stopped. Like, it happened and they were like Got it get to work. Yes. Yes. Oh my gosh. Shoot it exactly. Well, there's no you can't make a story about anything now We've done everything you know Napoleon's taken so you got to go a ship. We got blackberry We got Uber we got we work all the movies are just about companies that got off the ground and then failed Napoleon's coming I'm pumped for Napoleon wait for Napoleon a bunch of fun stuff

I saw a trailer. Look the little Sepero. I thought it looked pretty good. I believe in pain and Saras sister started said it was fantastic. So I have belief no pain. No gain, but yeah, I'll go see it But if I hope movies are coming back, you know, Barbie, Oppen, Quif and top gun, no gain, but yeah, I'll go see it, but I hope movies are coming back. You know, Barbie, Oppen, Quief, and Top Gun, you know, they kind of got a buzz going about the cinema.

I know, but they're all not pipes. Great. Ah, he didn't like Opp. Opp was okay, it was pretty good. Check out Joan Run on, Talk Movies, Big Up, a Soat. I like Opp, I didn't like Opp, I'm gonna be hated.

Okay okay because they're all big joy yeah we need I want an old school a couple of cops once crooked yes you know they beat up a kid yes and the kids dad hits the cop over the head with a frying pan now we're talking 90 minutes a nice you you know, 75% rotten tomato Yes, good dialogue and decent characters some nice directing maybe a New York story of Just give me a car I'm sick of stuff without a car a car or romance Whatever it is, but I saw a dumb money at the Alamo draft

You know this place of course what am I an asshole? Well, there's one wall street. I didn't know that. Oh, I've heard about that. I think Liz was telling me. It's fantastic. You can lay down and you can fuck a lady. It's pretty good. I got a handy. But we went in there and you get a couple drinks and it's pretty great because you just push a, boop, you push a button and you're right down your order and they come by and they go, and then you run off, they come back with margaritas. During the film? During the film or before.

I don't know about that. And the button is also used to kick out people if they're talking. You can even note this as this person behind me is talking. And they anonymously go have someone run out to them and say, the key you can't talk in here and they come out. Well, my question, why don't we do this in comedy shows? All I hear at every comedy show is like, all of a pin your calada. And you're like, that's your whisper, whisper Pina Kalata yellow get across the room

Give me the button write it down write down Pina Kalata and write down kick out that coups That's not bad, but then you got people looking down writing down. Yeah, but it takes four seconds Interesting. Yeah, okay. I mean I'm down. I'm open, but my legs are spread. Yeah fun fun movie I mean, I'm down. I'm open. But my legs are spread. Yeah. Fun, fun movie. Uh, not great, but the best part of the movie was all the pandemic stuff. They throw back to pandemic time is 2020. So you got to see like, oh, yeah, the pull the mask over the nose, the swab. It all came back and you got to see how silly it all was.

Yeah, it was intense. Uh, I just had a COVID moment the other day. Look where I was at yesterday. I just had a COVID moment the other day though, where I was at yesterday. I was at Chipotle, of course. And COVID, we moved on from the COVID, the thing, the mass and the business and the whatever, although the delivery doctor, for my baby delivery doctor, she was like, ideally you should get another COVID vaccine

with the baby, not for the baby, but like, to pretend, I don't know. Yeah, yeah. But you never know what to do. I'm like, all right, she's a doctor, she's nice. I like her, she's like, you should get one. I'm like, this, all right. And you don't wanna be a bad dad with no vaccine.

But also, maybe the kid should get COVID. Cough right in his ass and get it out of the way. It's like chickenpox. Wow, he's like, he's gonna be four hours old this kid. Hey, you know, early bird gets the COVID. Yeah, like chickenpox. Wow. He's like, he's gonna be four hours old this kid. Hey, you get him. Early bird gets the COVID. Yeah. I don't know how it works really, but I know herpes can take a kid right out.

Is that right? Yeah. You got it. If your wife has a herpes outbreak and the babies smushes their little face through there, their body doesn't know how to deal with herpes. Oh. They have no immune system. What a bummer.

The first push you get you get the hurt It's tough so we've been we've had to be safe, but everything's good anyways What the hell was I talking about oh Chipotle? Oh, yeah, yeah, there you go So is that Chipotle you tell me how you feel where you come out about this? I'll come out so I'm sitting there eating my burrito and then at the end of the long chair This is the one over on just North of Union Square, on Broadway in 16th, where I saw that barrel fire. Oh, that's right, yeah. The writing is on the wall in this.

Yeah, it's all coming apart. Walking up Broadway in Chelsea yesterday, I guess that is whatever Chelsea sells. I don't know, I'm walking and just a garbage fire. Full blaze, we can plug it into the YouTube, just a nine foot blaze. Everyone's just walking around it, looking at it and up, all right.

And then you wonder, is that a kid cutting up with a little firework? Is that a cigarette? Is that the terrorism? Who knows? It was a little off-putting, but I just went to equinox and hit the steam room. I just called it in, they go, yeah, we go, I called and I go,

You called? Yeah, yeah, yeah, wow. I'm a good Samaritan. So he called and they go, yeah, yeah, a garbage fire, 17, I go, yeah, they go, all right, yeah, we were on it and I go, okay, sorry. That's kind of fun. But it was one of those things where I'm like, I don't see anybody call. I guess the whole city gonna burn down, because we're all just looking at this thing, videotaping. I wouldn't have called, I didn't know you could just call. You sure you could call. I feel like I'm bothering police when I call.

I'm like, what do you want? I'm like, my wife's getting murdered, all right, take it easy. Well, this is this big Karen shit. This is what happens when everyone's like, oh, you don't want to be a Karen. You're right, and overcorrects. So I'm like, so I see three kids beating up a slow kid.

I shouldn't call because I'm a Karen. You're a Karen, then they film you. And they go, oh, you're a narc, you piece of shit. And you're like, the kid's retard, he's gonna beat up. I was just saying, but we went too hard on the Karen because sometimes you're supposed to yell at employee. Yes, you know, sometimes they're fucking up. If an employee puts a pinky up your ass and you're like,

wait, this is Dunkin' Donuts, Karen it up. Someone did that bit about Biggie at the beginning of Juicy when you're like, wait, this is Duncan Donuts. We'll carry it up. Someone did that bit about Biggie at the beginning of Juicy when he's like, for all the people that, yeah, that's the biggest one. That's the name of it. It was all a dream. I used to read Word Up magazine,

Salt and Peppin' Heavy D up in the limousine. But he had to be getting the song. He's talking and he says, all the people that called the police on me because I was trying to make some extra money, Hustle-in. And you're like, everyone's like, yeah, fuck them, but you're like, well, he's selling drugs to kids in front of their apartment.

I mean, you know what, you can't help. He's selling crack, you're ruining your own community. You got a teenager selling crack in front of your house. I mean, I don't think that's that crazy. Yeah, he better call the police. But any, any fun, anyways, to a conservative radio, but um, So I'm walking I've walked to the barrel fire. I go to Chipotle and it's a long tip. You know that Chipotle there I know it's a it's a long thin one like my dick long sin Chipotle

I'm at the end of the table. I'm eating my burrito down the end. There's like two hipsterie college kid I don't want to say hips for college kids. Sure, sure. Blue hair, nose ring, vape. Yeah, and one is coughing a wet open cough like this. Ooh. Ah! Ah!

But wetter than that, because she's sick. No cover, no nothing. Every once in a while, cover, but they're talking, and I'm just kind of like... Take it outside, sister. I'm kind of like, I'm like fucking Leslie Nielsen at the beginning of naked gun, which is how I feel, by the way, when I see some of the marches, whatever. I'm like, are you fucking kidding me? But anyways, I don't want to get too crazy. So I'm eating the burrito, and she keeps doing the wet cough, and I'm like are you fucking kidding me? But anyways, I don't want to get too crazy

So I'm eating the burrito and she keeps doing the wet cough And I'm like kind of doing this and then they start this guy she catches my eye I just like go like what is this good and she go she'd like passive aggressively says to her friend She goes they always stare at me.

All right. So I fly into LaGuadria, you know what I like to cut it close. Land at three shows at seven. Okay. So I go, all right, I'm gonna land at three, get an Uber, go right to the hotel. I need that hotel time. Of course.

It's only two and a half hours of whatever, because I'm getting to the theater at 6.30. But I need that two and a half. I'm gonna shit shower, regroup get the flight off you look at your notes jerk off that whole thing I got it. I don't have any what do you call pre show rituals and all that horse shit But I need that hour or two or three whatever before the show So Andrew youngblood my my old pal, he goes, well, fuck it Uber, I'm opening for you. I'll just pick you up and I go, well, I appreciate it, it's a nice gesture,

but I wanna just get in, get out and go right to the hotel. I don't wanna, I feel bad if you just scoop me up. You know, you're not an Uber, you're a friend. I don't wanna just, once I see, I'm gonna wanna hang. You know, you wanna just, I just need to get to that hotel. I need those few hours. Okay. And he's like, I don't mind, I'll just pick you him, I don't want to hang. You know, you want to just, I just need to get to that hotel, I need those few hours. Okay.

And he's like, I don't mind, I'll just pick you up, I'll drop you to the hotel, we don't have to hang. Well, hang later, and I'm like, all right, but I don't mind Ubering, he's like, I'll pick you up. Yeah, this makes sense so far, I picked you up, because down at OKC, as we always talk about, you're going to get a cowboy who goes, so partner. Oh, that's true.

What brings you around here? You don't look like no cowboy to me and you go I'm a comedian well. I saw Bill Engvaugh one time. Yeah, you like him. You know him you ever work with him No, I don't know Bill Engvaugh. Here's your sign. Let me put on his CD alright, so He picks me up and I get to the airport. I go hey, I'm at the baggage How you looking he goes? I'll be there in 10 minutes. I got no problem. We get in the Tesla and he goes, oh, I got some bad news. Tesla, he's got to let your car again.

Well, the Tesla is all right. Okay. It's better than the other horseshit we had before. Don't with. But I still hate EVs. That he betters? Yes. So we get in the Tesla and he goes, got bad news I got a charge and I go

Oh, here this is can't be real. This is how it happens. This is how it happens I knew I should have gotten the Uber, but you don't want to be the diva this guy's nice enough to pick me up to the airport So I got a couple of I'm checks and balances here. Should I should I just say fuck you? I'm getting the Uber. This is what I wanted or should I just try to be nice and go charge with them? I mean, this is insane. So he goes it'll take 10 minutes to take we'll just get a little juice and then we can you know hit the road tomorrow and I go all right, all right Charge stations a mile out, you know 10 miles out. Here we go now. We're sitting next to a red robin and he goes look We'll pull up I'll go right to the charge station We'll charge for 10 minutes

That'll give me like half juice and then we'll high-tail it to the hotel and I go okay, okay We get to the charge station There's a line. There's a Tesla line. So now I'm like you motherfucker. I'm furious now I go you see this is why I wanted to get the Uber because The line moves pretty quick. I go, you said 10 minutes. Now we're off, that we're off on, who knows what? I don't understand the elect, I don't get it. It's a nightmare, because your whole world revolves

around that charge. You have to play everything out. You gotta schedule your whole life around a charge. This is why I like the hybrid. Yes. That has a reserve. That's the move. So, we wait in line.

No action and I go, I'm Ubering. This is out of control. And he's like, you can Uber, but by the time the Uber gets here and that whole thing happens, then they pick you up, then you go, we'll probably be even. And I was like, why do you care?

Let me just leave. What are we doing here? And he's a nice guy, so I'm trying not to be mean, but I was like, why do you care? Let me just leave. What are we doing here? And he's a nice guy, so I'm trying not to be mean, but I'm like, this is crazy. I would have been at the hotel by now. Right. So finally the line starts moving, whatever. And I go, now we're seconded line.

I go, I'm getting the Uber. So then I call it Uber. Uber says I'll be there in eight minutes. I go, all right, now I'm up against it. Now I don't want the line to get moving before the uber gets here Right, because I don't want to be that guy because now I got it for nothing right Uber finally shows up It's 20 miles down. I got to run through Ruby Tuesday parking lot with the bag the whole thing get the Uber I get the uh the Asian guy who's

No urgency, you know these you know these drivers are like okay where we going here? Yes, of course he pulls out the the fucking Thomas guy He's reading about the paper. He's like can you believe Israel all that I'm like yeah, yeah, let's go So we're waiting on a red light The line is too long that we're in traffic now So he goes around and up and over and tries to cut back and it's a whole thing 30 minutes to get to the hotel. Finally I get to the hotel.

I'm like checking in. That takes 10 minutes, whatever. You finally get up to the room. You're like, all right, it's 5.30. I have one hour. I've got the hour. Okay, hour is good. I would have had two and a half, but I got one.

Thanks to all that shit. 6.28. I look at my phone. Youngblood. I just got back. Just got back. What is with these electric vehicles? He's gonna get out of these relationships.

I know, it's crazy. It just feels status-y. It sounds like a piece of shit. Well, it's a great car and it runs really well. How fast, but the- How are great cars? Well, it's, it's- It took him an extra hour and a half to get there.

Well, he got caught in traffic, He hit five o'clock traffic. So I just barely scored it by it, but because he had to stop. This is like the swingers. You always double down. He's like, but I lost. I'm like, how could it be great if he keeps getting fucked on this thing? Well, I'll tell you the next day we do the gig the next day. We had to charge because we're going three hour drive.

So we had to charge then go eat, you force yourself to eat, and then you get back in the car, and it's ready to go. But your whole world is just about, where's the station? How far away from the charge say? It'd be like if you were always on empty. That's what it feels like. You're like, where's the gas station? Nightmare, but that kind of thing, dry, I hate the,

ah, 10 minutes. 10 minutes turned into three hours. That's horrible. That's the worst thing I've ever heard in my life. Look, cause we're weird with time. It's like a black comic set. Pfft. I don't know if I got it, but I liked it.

10 minutes turns into three hours. Oh, I see, I see. They go long. That's good. They go long. Many, many black. Not all. No.

Jesus, you put me in a weird spot here many black comedians are known Traditionally for going well over their time. That's true. It's a stereotype, but I've seen it quite a bit. Yes, I can back that up Dave Shepelle for instance many many many others Roy Wood Jr. Keeps it tight, but I can name six others. You don't so there you go Yes, well look look at this whole episode. Sure, sure. Uh, hung over. But yeah, so, uh, but you don't want to look like a diva, uh, because you're like, uh, I just got to get back and he's like, we're hanging out. I'm like, I know, but you've already done your stuff.

Right. You've been here since 11. You've showered and shit and shaved. So that was it. So, boy, how are the gigs? Okay, see, it's in one of these warehouse-y airplane hanger type places. Right. You know where the stage is built that day. I think they got a K-pop the next night. You know, they just tear it all down. Not great. Okay, see, they were nice, but it wasn't full.

And a lot of hootin' and hollerin'. Those rock clubs, they almost feels like they're encouraged to hoot. Right. Like an owl. Well, it's a hootin' anties down there. That's true, it's a honky-tunk. Now, how are the women down there in Oklahoma with the hats and the jeans with the boots?

Is it that kind of thing? Well, it's a lot of glitter, a lot of fake tits, a lot of bad tans, and a lot of pink boots. Right. You know, these kind of Walmart cowboys or cowgirls. But yeah, you know, that's a type, a lot of bedazzling on the jeans, you know, a lot of neck wrinkle.

Yes, I'm familiar. They're dipping. They're all like shapely. Yeah, they're a thick group. It's a lot of, a lot of eating meat and corn down there. Right. But yeah, so then we drive to Dallas, and that was the fucking tits. I love Dallas. That is a great comedy town and a great theater. The majestic, right downtown. You can see it.

I'm like brushing my teeth, looking out the window at the majestic marquee. That's a fun feeling. Great time. Marquee Norton. You got that right. So yeah, had a blast and a young blood, he's the man, but that, that really got me, because that's all I need is that, that, that, the compression time. Yeah, it's hard to understand, comprehend how desperate you want that alone. Because I just had this, you know, I was in Seattle and you fly back and you get a ride to the airport. I was with another comic Dustin Nickerson, very nice guy drove me to the airport. So you're with the comic at Fred. So you're going, oh, yeah, that was fun. Crazy night,

crazy story. Yeah, yeah, you get through and now you're in the security line. You go through security and then you're in the lounge and then you're the lounges around, everyone's around. And then you get on the plane, it's packed. So you're self conscious for like seven hours. Yes. Because you want to pick your nose, touch your balls, get a boner, say the N word, whatever. You just want to live your life.

And it's a lot of brain powers. This is the terminal, where's the gate? How's my bag? Is my bag still here? What line am I? What number are we on? It's a lot of mental bullshit. Yeah, so sometimes you just want to get home and be like, I need an hour.

Yeah. Just not even that, but also like pull the boogers out, put them in your ass. Yes. Whatever. And you're about to perform in front of a thousand people. So maybe you'd like to get your head in the game a little bit. You know, maybe you'd like to look at a note, see the new joke. That's another epidemic.

Is you show up to a show and they're like, all right, what's the new joke I gotta work on? All right, let me take a quick look at the punch line. And people were like, hey, I gotta look at this. This is a common problem now, as no matter what your body language is, as people don't take in, I'm not looking to socialize right now. I blame the phone.

Sit like this in a situation and someone comes over and goes, hey, so how about that show last night? Yeah. And you're like, what more can I do? Yeah, I can't multitask. Exactly. To let you know that I'm like, I'm not really feeling the hang right now.

I'll go to the bathroom just to check the text. All the time. Because you don't want to be rude and you don't be bothered. I did it the stand last night where I got a lift and it was like a seven minute till the lift got there Yeah, and I was just all done socializing So I went the bathroom and sat on the toilet and watched the lift Clicked down to three minutes and then came out and everyone's like, well, you just took a nasty shit, huh? And you're like, yeah, that was a shit. Yeah, I was crazy. Go with shit. Yeah, I am so with you and

It's time I'm a big block walker. I'll walk the block Oh, yeah, it's all I'm ever I mean, I'm always you know me 45 minutes early for everything So I'm just doing laps around buildings most of my life. Well, that's the weird thing about comedy is It's like for socializing because we're we're going to work and look sometimes the socializing is great You're like, hey, I can see my pal. We get to talk shit. We get can prevent a little but then sometimes you're like I just want to do my set in Skadoodle Of course, I'm gonna take out this good noodle. Oh Talk about nobody's good noodles faster than I skadoodle. Oh, yeah But last night we're at the stand and

Lev fur he gets a bunch of cigars and he tells Ari brings the guys so Ari comes to cigars bird comes to cigars We're all smoking cigars. We're Ari brings the guys. So Ari comes to cigars, Berg comes to cigars. We're all smoking cigars. We're doing indoors in the green room. Lev, Berg, Ari, me, you popped in, which was unexpected and exciting. And then Ari's like, ah, I got to go do a spot at the seller. He's got half, I was smoking the Joe Rogan cigar. It was the best cigars I've ever had.

They're very good. He smokes half. He got to go. Berg's like, ah, I got the baby tonight. He leaves. I go do my set. I come back Love left. Geez not even a live. I was like what the fuck just happened. I got half of a cigar. He loved you hanging Yeah, that's not bad But yeah, that's that's a bitch when you come back, but also hey, you're taking a dump on the you're taking a fake dump So after that. Yeah, because all that's left is scraps and scrumps.

Yeah, that's the stickers. Yeah, a little B Squad riff rap. I get it. You got that straight. Oh, I had something when I lost it. Shit, my ass. Yeah, either way. So I gotta hear about Seattle.

It's been out there. Well, it's also nice to have a real comic hosting SNL again because he's not, I wouldn't say he's a household name. You know, it's not like an Adam Sandler or even a Bill Burr who's pretty huge. You know, so it's nice to have like, oh, this guy's not that famous. I mean, he's famous, but he's not huge and he's gonna host SNL this giant show.

Well, this is gonna get him into the stratosphere. Oh, big guy. Oh, and this is the way I've always said, this is what SNL should be and is meant to be of course doing a monologue of course It's not being a monologue now till the switten comes out and then he goes, oh, this is a good to be here And then like Anthony Anderson comes out. Yes. Yes. Whatever or whatever the guy's name is well That's how uninsimmon the other good so uninteresting actors are is you got to get some comedic guy to come in there and go Oh, but fart in your face.

Olympic sounds pretty good. I think the four seasons is on high, is it? Oh, really? Okay. Oh, wait, which one's better? Olympic sounds pretty good. I think the four seasons is the highest. Oh, really? Okay. Oh, yeah. Interesting. But fair amount is bad ass. Yeah. For seasons is... Is that the peak pinnacle? I think so. As far as a chain, I'm sure there's some hotel called, you know,

fucking the orphium dick. Yeah, Putin's playground or whatever. Uh, but any parts... so the Olympic is spectacular also so I'm down the street I hit up Sam. He's like I'm playing basketball with Sandler What we're done hoping I'll text you Okay, that's crazy wacky so I go walk around Seattle, which is a fucking hellhole downtown It's crazy. I'm just getting chased by zombies and Go to Pike Place. Yada yada. So then Nate gets to town

Hey, we're gonna have dinner at the big hotel a little place get a nice big free steak Which is delightful tour manager friend from high school another round with that. I said guess it's about Nick He really sticks to his buddies his tour manager, he went to elementary school. Wow. He's got his high school buddy with him. He's got another, it's all Nashville guys. He's known for years. He's got his dad opening half the shows. He is a good loyal man.

So we have dinner. Now we go up to his room. We're kicking it. His room is the size of my parents house. It's massive. It's literally bigger than my parents house. We're sitting up there, both shitting. Nate's gonna take a call. He's like, I gotta, I don't know if it's his wife or show business, SNL, whatever it is. They're gonna pull Simon in there. So he

goes on the phone and now this is the trouble with being on someone's tour. I like to make the decisions. Yes, you like a plan. I like a meal, I like to go, I like to be early, I like to be nestled, I like to put my feet up. Yes, yes, nestle crunch. So, I'm looking at the phone, I'm like, 710. Shows it 8? 730. I'm looking at the thing, it's 720.

Lee. No, no. Got some shit openers, I'm sure. Well, you got Sammy the bull opening and You know one of my dear friends one of my favorite comics share a killer wouldn't mind seeing him in an arena That'd be fun and who well? We got Tim Meadows on this pin meadows on the show and Jo Vessi. Oh He's a good egg. So I'm looking at now. It's 7 30 and I'm like, okay. And you can't be like, hey, what the fuck? Right.

Because I'm in the hotel and the car and the limo and the first class and the steak and the Olympic. So I'm like, I'm missing the thing. Yeah. And, you know, but I did it. He's gonna do his, he doesn't give it, he's got a business. But can't you go? Well, because they, the ticket, but I did it. He's gonna do his, he doesn't give it, he's got a business. But can't you go?

Well, because they, the ticket, they're VIP tickets. Backstage VIP. Good point. And we're going underneath the arena. The bad things. So you're kind of like, I thought about it. I'm like, can I just have my ticket? But then that's like, I just got on the tour

10 minutes ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause that's the other thing is Nate and I are old friends, but they're on a worldwide tour for minutes ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's the other thing is Nate and I are old friends, but they're on a worldwide tour for a year. I'm just the guy that's popping in for three days. Yeah, you keep it like, excuse me. Exactly. Can we go to Chipotle, please, and leave a little early?

Right. You're a wrench in the gears. So I'm just going with the flow. And finally, we leave. We hop in the Sprinter van, which is so fun. It's a big van. Very purple lights. Very tall. Very exciting. It's van. Purple lights. Very tall.

Very exciting. He's like Raymond. Very tall. Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him, very tall van. So we get in the van, we're shooting the shit. We're chopping it up. We're laughing. I'm telling stories.

We're yucking it. We go over there. We go into the bowels underneath, which is so exciting. Cause I haven't done an arena. A bit of a arena show like that in the album. Years. So we walk up the thing where VIPs they walk us in we walk into the back area like the

The floor of the arena the 17,000 people you just hear like Hell yeah, and Tim meadows is on stage and I'm like, huh? Okay, maybe meadows is hosting Uh-huh, you know, he's not doing a lot of sets. So maybe he's the host they go along So we walk in through the floor of the arena, and it's crazy, because the stage is right here. We're like, at the side of the stage. Oh, I love that. It's a concert, and then our seats are up over there,

so we walk through the floor, and you're just in the arena. Ah, cool. Getting walks through with VIP passes and Nate's a celebrity, and everyone's just, we're surrounded by thousands of people. And I hear two medals go All right, I'm gonna bring up your next comic and I'm like here we go Sammy baby and he goes this guy One of my closest friends. I'm like, well, maybe you spoke shit

Okay, I'm sure intro. Yeah, these actors are all ours. You know him. He loves you. You love him He loves you. You love him. Adam Sam. I go fuck! We miss Sam. And a Nate's mind. He's like, Hey, perfect timing. So I'm bummed and missed. I felt like a dad. I felt sad.

I wanted to cry. I just wanted to see my buddy boy in an arena. You missed the Little League game, Pops. So I felt like, fuck. But what are you gonna do? I'll see him at the seller, but it's an arena for the runny. So the runny, you wanna watch the guy crush it with his dark eyebrows. So that was frustrating, then we go up to the, like, the top, we have seats that are like

badass, but we got to the top area to walk down. We were like, this is good here, because there's no one around. So we watched the whole show, and I gotta say, it's a hell of a show. Oh yeah? He sings a lot of songs, it's a hell of a show. Oh yeah? He sings a lot of songs. It does really surreal, funny stuff. It's a great show. I really enjoyed it.

The Sandman did it. The Sandman did it. So it was a great show. Is it, sorry, is it all songs or is it some, some stand up in there too? Is it all a guitar? He does a lot of stand up. Oh, a lot of bits.

And he'll do about five minutes of bits and play a song. And he does like six, seven minutes of bits play another song Okay, and then later he starts doing a bunch of songs. Got it. Does he close with the Farley? So here's the thing so then towards the end of the show He's like all right. I'm gonna do a little to have light up your phones a little tribute to my friend He's doing the Farley and it plays the video and I get emotional It's beautiful. It's a beauty. I'm teared up.

I'm literally like a teared down the cheek as these things about Farley. And I'm really in it. Like, wow, and he's talking about his buddy and he's seeing his old footage and not just means a lot to him. Farley meant so much to us. Sure, sure.

I mean, that was our guy. A van down by the river. And... Chip and nails. We're sitting there watching the clips and all of a sudden it's like this I'm like this Jesus fucking like come on. We're going down to meet About the jizz here exactly so I'm like oh, that's amazing, but I'm like But yeah, yeah, and so now and you've had this before I'm sure when you're like a VIP part

They got to sneak you down before the show ends. Yes. Yes So you're leaving and like the crowd's, they gotta sneak you down before the show ends. Yes, yes. So you're leaving and like the crowd's going crazy, not a dry eye in the house, but you're like, okay, down these steps over here, so you're kind of like taking out of it. Yes, yes. We go back to the side of the stage.

There's Sam, I give him a pat on the ass, he goes, oh my God, you gotta remember, Sam's having the night of his life. Of course, he's playing ball with the Sandman. He played basketball with Sam, he did a reener and went to him with that before, he said he ripped, it having the night of his life. Of course. He's playing ball with the Sandman He played basketball with say he did a reener and Vancouver night before he said you ripped it was the set of his life We missed it amazing. He's all He's happy Gilmore. He's happy Gilmore. So we uh, we're talking. He's like we're all going out for steak after this Hell yeah, but now I'm side stage you watch Sandler finish your show and you comes down the steps

I just walked right by after a two-hour constant. You're like this crazy crazy Like there's 17,000 people just watch this guy He's the biggest movie star ever and now he's just He's closer than Chuck is and what is he about five foot eight? No, I think he's taller than that. Okay, I saw the photo. He's appropriately dressed horribly. Yeah, he's got six layers on He's appropriately dressed horribly. Yeah, he's got six layers on. Yes, he's a Hawaiian shirt orange of hoodie. I mean, it's beautiful.

So he comes back and Sam's like, this is my friend, oh, he's one of my favorite guns. And Sam is very nice. Hey, nice to meet you. Wow, we go in the back and it's me, Nate, Meadows, Sandler, Vessie, Nate's crew, Sandler's crew. Food? And not really, this is like, fingery crew, Sanler's crew. Food?

Uh, not really for this like, fingery foods. We're going out to eat. Okay, okay, I like a finger. And then his dog, Bagel. Bagel, little, uh, bulldog. Oh, that's his dog. That's his dog. Ah, very Jewish of him.

And that was sweet, came over and gave me a little love. Sad on my feet and I was petting him. Which is nice. You're like, well, the dog likes me. Yeah, that's something. That's something. And he's one of these guys, and Nate goes, hey, I'm hosting SNL and we all, oh my God,

which he had told us earlier, but it's exciting to tell Adam. Sure. And then you've got Sandler and Meadows, giving him advice, they're like, well, it'll be like this, lawns like this, everyone's doing lawn impressions. Yes.

So you're like, that's surreal, because you've got these guys were the show. They were the show in the 90s, maybe some would say the peak. Yes, so that's crazy. And you're just chatting, you know, hanging out and they'll go, we're all going to stake.

Yeah. So we go great and then Sam jumps in the van with us. So it's me and Sam and Nate. Now we're chopping it up in the van. Hey, took you over Sandler. That's the guy, that's not too shabby. Pretty good. So we go over to the steakhouse. Now this is one of those deals where they're staying open just for Sandler.

Oh, that's some celebrity. It's 11 o'clock at night and this is top of the line steakhouse, which is amazing that you get to a level of success in comedy. Yes, where a full restaurant is like, yeah, we'll stay open. There's some Mexican guy back there like, who? All right, that, I guess so. And also, how about that waiter? I mean, what a story for that guy?

He's some Seattle cleaf he gets to go home and go, hey, you're not gonna believe this. And probably gets a couple thousand dollar tip. Good point, yeah, that's another wrong with that. Because if you're staying open late, I'm sure they're throwing them some cake and this is the most generous guy in the business. But he's gonna go home and tell us plus size wife,

hey, I've waited on Sandler and a couple other guys I didn't know. Yeah, how about sucking me off, little lady? It'd be nice. And we'll put on Billy Madison. So Sandler is just the most generous. I mean, he tells everybody he comes. So there's like 25 people in there. Yeah.

Now, this is where it gets a little hairy. No, good, I like hair. A little Now this is where it gets a little hairy. No, good, I like hair. A little awkward. A little bush. A little tough. Tough it up. So we're gutting in there and now it's always awkward.

You're going in there. There's a movie star, the whole thing. And I'm thinking, I'm sticking with Nate and Sam. Yeah. I want to sit with my buddies here. I don't want to get stuck with the boom operator and the crane guy. And nothing wrong with these guys, but you don't want to get stuck with the boom operator and the crane guy. Another wrong with these guys,

but you don't want a chitchat, you want a hang. I love those guys, but I don't want to, yeah, I don't want to be like, so how long have you been doing it? You're a comic, oh, what kind of comedy? Oh yeah, I don't know. I want to be with my buddies. You want to get in there.

So we go in, it's a long table. It's like a Batman table. Bruce Wayne. Right, right, right, pass the salt. So Adam is up at the top corner. As you do. Eating, next to him is, I think the tour manager. Then three empty seats. Then a couple guys.

So Nate, he takes the lead. He walks in, he sits next to the tour manager. Okay, that's once he gone. Sam sits next to him. That's two for. So I'm like, okay, I got the third seat, I'm with Sam and Nate. Perfect. You still got a guy on your left, a rando.

Yes, rando guy on the left, I don't know who he is. And there's a pair of headphones, just like they, like bows, headphones. In front of the, I don't notice, but it's an empty seat. There's some headphones. Cross button. So I just pull out the chair which I don't notice, but it's an empty seat. There's some headphones. Cross button. So I just pull up the chair and I go, all right, I sit down, I'm with Sam to my right, and then this guy kind of gives me a look, picks up the headphones and goes like, put some over there and I go, oh shit, did I just take someone's seat and he's like, nah, that's

fine, I'll just move it over here. What's the, what the the big whoop well? I don't know I think he was saving a seat I guess but the seat is empty. Yeah, the headphones were in front of the plate They weren't on the plate. Ah, I don't know that makes a difference there up here. I don't know about the saving seats I mean you're not on the show fatty Well, he's like part of the crew, I think. He works there. He was there before me. All right, well, crew, Shmooh, you can sit and talk

to the manager. But, I don't know. I just thought, well, the chair was empty. It was pushed in. Yeah. And I want my buddy boys. So I go, oh, shit, sorry. But also, I'm like, all right, well, I guess he can move

over there. No big deal. I can feel the tension. I don't want to feel tense. I think everyone hates me anyway. So I'm like, yes, Mike tense. I'm like, all right, so I'm just sitting there and then a minute passes and this guy, I'm sure is a very nice guy, goes, all right,

I'm getting up, but I'm saving the seat. And he puts the napkin on the chair. He's like, this is my seat. He is, crazy. I'll be right back. This guy's a real SS. So I can feel the tension. I go like, this is my seat. He's crazy. I'll be right back. This guy's a real SS. So I can feel the tension. I go,

oh, you got it. Sorry again about the seat. And I'm just sitting here like this. And now Nate and Sam have gotten into heavy duty talk. We're talking about stuff. Oh, you know what? At that point, I think Sandler was talking to Nate. So they're kind of leaning down talking to the Sandman.

Oh, you got the whole thing where you do it. I want to hear this. Yeah, so I'm like, I got nothin' over here. This guy hates me. So now we're ordering steaks for the second time of the same night, by the way. Oh, right. We had to stay cause earlier. And you're gonna read me.

Feel awkward cause you're like, look at the menu, you're like, all right, well, I guess I'll have the $175 fucking Tomahawk steak place. Oh, and a Roman Rome, you know, you're at the nice joint. Yeah, it feels awkward. Of course. Can I give you 80 bucks? I know, you don't know me.

And I already give me 200 bucks out of the gate. And I feel like, you know, but he's worth 750 million. Whatever it is. Sure. So then the wait just comes by and goes, is anyone sitting here in this seat? I go, yes, yes, there's a man here. For sure.

Very tense man. There's a person here and I hear, no, I moved over here. Oh boy. And I look and he's across the way now. Ah. So I go, I, but you heard, I take a Larry David.

And I'm like, you heard me, I protected the seat. Yes. And then he says, supporting. He says, well, you, you, you made up for some of it. You won a little bit back. What's that term? He goes, redeem yourself a little bit. A little bit.

This guy should be killed. Who isn't like the passive aggressiveness is at another level. He's in the red over here. Maybe he's kidding. I don't know. I don't know the guy. Later Sam seemed friendly with him. So I'm sure he's a nice guy. Maybe he was upset. But it't know the guy later Sam seemed friendly with him

So I'm sure he's a nice guy. Maybe he was upset, but it wasn't like a primo seat It wasn't like it was like next to Sandler, of course, of course. Yeah, I don't know about this guy call in sir I want to hear your side of it. Maybe he thinks you farted on him or something happened I think maybe he was kind of kidding a little or something. I don't know. But I'm redeemed. All I can think is, I'm to him. I'm this loser hangarani guy who's trying to get next to Adam and nothing can be further from the truth. Sure, sure. I'd love to be home.

It's like 11 o'clock. I'm on East Coast time, so it's 2 a.m. Right. I didn't want to be there. No, you're not a fan of Sandler even. No, not just kidding. Who isn't a fan? Everybody loves him. Come on, Billy, I want fan of Sandler even. No! Nah, I'm just kidding. Who isn't a fan? Everybody loves him.

Come on, Billy, I want to be a big daddy. Yeah, the ship who is better. How funny is that? Yeah, so good. So funny and deep. Yeah, a little nicky, that's a classic. Yeah, one of the best. Anyways, on Couch Arms.

But anyways, I'm just tired and I'm not even joking. I would have been like, I'm gonna, I'll skip it. Cause I just hate that feeling of like, I don't want anything from you. I'm sorry, I'm just, I don't belong here. Right. Anyways, the guy, I'm sure he's a nice guy, obviously, but I felt awkward.

So then I felt like I had to really lean in to say I'm a Nate to be like, I'm, these are my best friends, that's why. Yes. So everything they said, I was like, oh, I couldn't even hear them'm, these are my best friends, that's why. Yes. So everything they said, I was like, oh, I couldn't even hear them, but I was like, whoa, that's a classic, Nate. Yeah, exactly.

That's you and me, old friends. But so it was a little awkward and then. Isn't that funny? Have this great night with friends and then a giant celebrity and we can have it all torn to pieces by one country comment. Oh, I was our lives just living in my head. I'm like, I'm a piece of shit. I should have just sat over there. I shouldn't even be here. I should be doing my own goddamn gig. I'm a piece of shit. We miss Sam. Yes.

But anyways, it was not and then Sam left a little before everyone. He went down the road. He was like, oh, I'll see you again, man. Good to see you. Wow. I said, hey, nice to see you. Thanks a lot. How about that? He's like Nate, congrats, unbelievable. You're killing it. And then Sam, he did like, not even a big good buy. They're just buddies. He's like, all right, Sam, I'll see you tomorrow.

We'll hoop. And he's like, you got it. They're just going to play basketball. I mean, man. Did he have a drink cocktail? Who? Sandler? I don't know if he had a drink.

Beer. He was eating some kind of chicken dish. Huh. Interesting. Chicken he dish. But he was was eating some kind of chicken dish. Huh, interesting. A chickeny dish. But he was just eating his dinner. You can tell he had traveled, done a concert, and was just like, I need to eat. Yeah.

He wasn't like, who's your boon's you boon? Like he was just kind of having a nice dinner. And so you do, you feel guilty, like, I'm sorry that you just bought me this meal. I know. I don't, I, I want to buy my own meal. I'm so sorry. 200 bucks for a piece of meat. So yeah, it don't, I, I want to buy my own meal. I'm so sorry.

200 bucks for a piece of meat. So yeah, it must have been $5, $6,000 ta. Easy. Now then you tip on top of that and how was the steak? Oh, it was unbelievable. Oh, I love it here. Fantastic. Great side of the sides for everyone too.

I'm not gonna awkward too, because you're like, I'm passing the side and then like, this guy's got the mac and cheese. Yeah. Can I get the mac and cheese? Yeah, I'm sorry. And then I'm passing the side and then this guy's got the Mac and cheese. So I'm like, can I get the Mac and cheese? I'm sorry. And then I'm like blowing them. I'm like, thank you so much. Great pass.

I appreciate that. You're like, fuck. Good headphones. I couldn't sleep. I was sitting there staring at the ceiling being like, this guy hates me. He thinks I'm a piece of shit. He's probably leaving negative reviews on my special.

I get it. But anyways, that was fun. So that's Saturday night, a Friday night. Yeah. We go back, we have a great talk, you all hugged a bug, you go out. Now Saturday, I mean, how much time do we have? I got a lot of stuff here. Oh my god.

There's so much there. All the stuff, I mean, I've spent a month and a half, two months of my life at Pearl Jam shows. I was crazy. So I've traveled all over the world and just to constant companions. Now I'm meeting this man and I'm like, I'm nervous. Of course. I want to get nervous to meet celebrities typically.

No, but this is the big one. This is the big white whale. I know, Merrill Streep. I've met Springsteen. I hung with Paul McCartney. Right. This is Sandler. Sandler the night before or two nights before.

So I'm like, woo, and you're trying to play it. Cool. Sure. Sure. Sure. They were watching football and in your head, you're like, what time's he coming? Does he, what do we mean before the show? after the show, what jokes am I gonna do?

Yeah, do you get a bomb? Ted Baker's suit on, I assume, a tuxedo. Your hair did? Ted Baker jacket, and then I have this moment. Now this is awkward. All right. Because what do you do here? So it's time to get dressed for the show.

Okay. And everything I wear is just banned t-shirts. Uh-oh. So then I look in my suitcase, the clean shirts I have, I have a Buzz just banned t-shirts. Uh-oh. So then I look in my suitcase, the clean shirts I have, I have a Buzzcox t-shirt, a spring-steamed t-shirt, and a cheap trick t-shirt. All right. But you don't wanna look pandery like,

well, it's not his, it's not Pearl Jam. Well, that would be unacceptable. Of course, of course. But it also does feel like... Check it out. I know music. You like these guys? Right. I like these guys. And it's one of the things that's not on purpose.

Yeah, yeah. I just, that's what I own. Sure. And I had my, whatever, I forget when sure I was wearing the night before, but it was like dirty and you're like, duh. So you're like, you got to pick which one is the least embarrassing? But the jacket helps.

The jacket helps. So he kind of disguises a little bit. Yes, he does. So he doesn't want to look like, well, exactly, a little cover up. So I'm like, wow, springsteen, he's friends with, that's weird, cheap trick, maybe,

the Buzzcox feels, Buzzcox feels too like, I really know. Little on the nose. I went cheap trick. All right, you know not Two over the top and I got the jacket close as much as possible. Yes So you're like, okay, here we go now. It's show time. We're watching football a day. I can't even eat I'm like what are we gonna say practicing lines?

We get in the the van We head over there you go upstairs now we're in the dressing room and we're all hanging in Nate's room And you're like is he coming before is he coming after holy shit and I'm like thinking of the set But I'm trying to play it cool to air whatever you got to meet Eddie man, no big deal. Yes I'm like this could be the beginning of a friendship. I'm gonna be a VIP ticket, it's the rest of my life. You might get in the band, maybe the Mandolin in the back. Maybe I get to sing rockin' the free world one day.

I'm having all these fantasies. Dissident, dissident. So I'm like, ah, something's gonna happen. This is exciting, and he knows, and I'm like, I'm telling a Nate, like you told him, he's like, he knows all about you, he's coming here, he knows, he's meeting a guy, so I'm like, all right. All like you told him he's like he knows all about you. He's coming here He knows he's meeting a guy so I'm like all right. All right Here we go too much now. It's about show time. It's 455. He coming to the early show. Okay good 60 forgot six 455 Sitting there. I am shitting my pants. I'm like at any moment any better is gonna walk through that door

The Tor manager came to get me, only me. Oh, well, what do you mean he's on board? Like, he knows you're a crazy fan. He knows that he, because Nate's told him, I got a friend who's seeing you 58 times and he's gay for you. I know, but you don't wanna be the weirdo. You don't wanna be the stalker.

Well, I'm not a stalker, I'm on the show. I know, but you know, it's like a girl. You don't want the girl knowing, hey, I jerked off the earlier, I'm in love with you. She's like, it's her first date. I tell every girl I jerked off to. Okay. That's all I do. I just send out letters. I just off to the earlier. I'm in love with the, she's like, it's her first date. I tell every girl I jerked off to her. Okay. That's all I do.

So this party that's relieved, and you're like, okay, so then you come back in the room and then he tells everybody,

yeah, and he's not coming. And Nate is just like, ah, geez. Like I flew there. I didn't need the money. I flew there to meet Eddie Fatter. I hope he hears this. Yeah, you fucked, I said.

Well, his rep did say promise a future meeting. Ah! He said, we're gonna make it happen. Don't worry. I don't know if he was sick or whatever, although the whole band just said COVID a couple weeks ago. But so I don't know. Maybe something came up.

He's got kids, whatever. Traffic. Sure. He's got a hangnail. So he just go, ah, all right. And then you just go, well, that's just fun. And then my immediate thought is, as much fun as I had, I'm like,

I could have gone to Palm Springs. Like, that's 40th birthday. I could have been down there. But I had a great time. By the way, I spent the day in West Seattle, which is one of the loves in my life. I walked on the beach, I went for a run, and you got the game in.

The game was unbelievable. The shows were great. And I gotta say, it was just great to spend time with Nate, who I used to be with every night for years. And, you know, we used to knock him back, but of course it's been years since we've been able to hang like that. So just telling old stories,

we talked about going to Turkey together and Kuwait and Iraq. I mean, we have a lot of water under that bridge. So yeah, it was great to reunite and spend a few days with him and to watch him do comedy, which was great. It was sad to miss Sam's comedy, but to have me and Nate and Sam together, chopping it up was all worth it. Sam there was cool, the show was great.

Yeah. So another time, another place. It'll happen and maybe going there will set the groundwork for the next meeting. Now the next meeting has to have maybe the next meeting will even be even better. Hey Tacoma, January 11th to the 13th. Come on out Ed. Well sure. Edward, half an hour ride. Wow. Well what I mean you know what a tale what a tangled web you weave. At least you got to go first class. Nice hotel. Good steak. Pist off one, but not bad.

Yeah, I never get any of those things outside of there. But yeah, that guy hates me. What are you gonna do? Yeah, I did feel bad. You know, better him than Sandman or better. Yeah, that I'm pissed him off. Who, boy? But great weekend, check out Nate Live
