Yeah, I said those days are going out, you know, okay, I'm saying I'm over it You know, it's like amateur night. Everybody comes out
Starting point is 00:04:09 I was actually surprised like more people aren't like when you're out there doing the clubs You know, it's always a good night, but I'm surprised. I was most people were relatively behaved You know, some people just in the years past you get a hammer just throwing up in the audience Like people start the new year off like that, you know, you know people people really don't know you're young You know people have these new year's party started six, you know, no, you do two bunks of coke At 6 30 you're off and running by 9 o'clock. There ain't no stopping you got fish lips You don't even remember the fucking bell going down. You don't remember nothing And that's what happens to people and I and listen, I'm guilty guilty
Starting point is 00:04:51 I think I did it one year where I got whacked and then I didn't I didn't like getting high on new years I thought it was bad luck to be high. I didn't want cocaine in my nose on the yeah Well, cuz it's a new year. You got new opportunities. You got new things and so that's not my ass off on the first. Yeah January 1st, you know those bowl games. I'd be snorting and whacking off banging one out, but it's so weird how No, like New Year's never really in comedy. I think they taught you to fucking consume it too much I don't like that. I want a comedy club patron to have a good experience. Absolutely There was one particular year
Starting point is 00:05:31 That I was working that never went out of my mind and I felt bad for the consumer in my world I'm not supposed to think of the consumer, but I don't like getting ripped off none of us as consumers Like getting ripped off. So I'm not paying double For a fucking comic I could see yeah, so you give me a shitty piece of salmon that comedy club salmon It's got eyeballs and shit Six eyeballs and it's brown skin, you know or steak at a comedy club. I'm not doing it That's the dumbest fucking thing in the world That's like going to a strip club in order and salmon the guys got pubic hair falling on it and fucking stripper juice and you know
Starting point is 00:06:10 I it just doesn't make sense to me. I don't I always think of the consumer I would I feel you know years ago I got a call from an ex-girlfriend of mine years ago and she said she was going to see Jane Moore and the club She was at was the worst thing ever that they treated her like a piece of meat Yeah, and I always thought about that, you know, I've always thought about How people think as much as I have no empathy a lot of times people might not think I'm empathetic. I'm very empathetic. I remember working with a comic and Me going up to him as a feature act and being a fan of his right
Starting point is 00:06:50 Like wanting to be that guy and going up to him and going there's a bunch of people outside That want to talk to you like 11 people he goes fuck them And I was like that that's a mental note that I'm not gonna have that attitude Absolutely get to that. I don't get it either. There's just little little things that you don't understand. I don't like I Don't like shows where people have to stand I Don't like shows where I have to look at the audience and they look like they're fucking in a bad They're just having a bad experience. Yeah, I don't like putting Because it's not really well you can make 10 more thousand up. I don't care
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, I'd rather not make the money than piss them off and have them come back a second time Yeah, then go I went there and I had a bad experience. I know what clubs I go to that It's a bad experience when I'm there. I could feel it. Yeah, those clubs I'll never go back to like I just won't go back to them Yeah, cuz it's kind of productive what you're trying to do what you're trying to do Everybody in a good mood you try to make them laugh you I mean the whole purpose of your thing is to make them laugh and put them In a great mood and it's really tough to do that if they're jammed in there's no room to move They're like you said they're being you know being charged double or triple what they pay for a normal show and then they throw out
Starting point is 00:08:03 I mean some clubs do it right. Don't get me wrong. There's some clubs that do it right They catered the food in it's top shelf. It's you know and They want everybody have a good experience because I think a lot of clubs think that that's cool Like you're stepping over a dollar to pick up a penny. Yes, that's a big for for one fucking night Those people will never come back never come back again. I had a bad experience. So like you said, it's kind of productive You're right. Some people do it. They like to gouge so it's like price gouging during a natural disaster like people raise the gas like three dollars That's like fuck. Well, you know, it's like why would you do it to people that they're already down?
Starting point is 00:08:36 Why are you kicking them? You know make sure you have a good customer experience plus people to come to your clubs now They have a great customer service. They'll come back again and again. You're building a brand every time I come here I see great comedians. Sometimes I look them up. Sometimes I don't but every time I come to this club I have a great Experience and and that's kind of what you're up against now. I mean, you know, you gotta it's like, you know How many clubs are doing well coming seems to be on a rise and then someone goes and there's a bad experience a club That's one I go to a club and I feel a bad experience. I don't go to that club again I don't yeah, say it publicly enough like that. I just in my mind go if I had a bad experience
Starting point is 00:09:10 They had a bad experience and like I said, you can't make a good, you know Well, you can't make a good deal with a bad person I mean if they don't give a shit about the audience members or I'm having a unique experience Then then didn't find but I mean like you said it's weird But I stand there and shake every hand in the way out and I thank people for coming to see my show and you know Larry the cable guy used to do that. That is essential. That's just they want to meet you They what they had a great experience you shake their hand You come back next time and follow me on social media come back. I mean you want to I mean, that's what it's all about now
Starting point is 00:09:39 You know these these people have become fans of you you want to nurture them and tell them come out and see future shows I mean, I don't know but you're right that the clubs do that and it's kind of kind of creepy, but It's it's weird how what I learned as an open-micer When I went back to Denver in 93 I learned something about business. That was really weird You know, I had a couple guys that all they did all day as comics when it was Huffle Rooms, right? God bless these guys. Yeah, God. God bless these guys They'll always be in my heart because in those days the major clubs wouldn't give you stage time Yeah, you know, they had an open mic once a month on a Sunday and there was 12 people in there
Starting point is 00:10:19 But where you got better with these bar shows where there's a Laker game on or a Bronco game on or a nugget game And you got to go in there and do comedy That's where you learn how to become a comic and then every three weeks you you go to an A-room Yeah, and you figure out how to put your bar set into an A-set now. Yeah, because your bar says a little dirty It's a little bit more rugged But one I remember is from all those sessions where I could always tell the guys that were fans of comedy and Always tell I'm talking about the bar owners. Yeah, I could always tell the bar owners that we're in it for business Like a karaoke, right? I didn't want to do business with them, right? I wanted people that would say to me. Hey, you know
Starting point is 00:11:02 Can you get Jimmy Schubert in here? Wow, you know Jimmy Schubert is yeah, my favorites Bill Hicks Like those are the comedy club owners that you want to do college with yeah Because they care about the art form and then two weeks going in there Well, come in for a second. Can you get me fluffy and now you got to bring them down earth and go Fluffy's 20 G's. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, but is there another fat Mexican out there that we could say, you know They are a fan of comedy. Yeah, I don't even if they're losing money Yeah, they continue to show and I always love working for guys like that. Yes, and I always love
Starting point is 00:11:38 Guys and open comedy clubs that are still like that. You love working for guys like that, you know, because they understand that You know the art form their fans of it How could you get mad at the guy who you know creates an environment for you to make a living doing something you love to do That's a fan of the comedy and the art form. It's I love working for those guys That's like, you know, there's a lot of guys you work for that number one. They have when you get to that club They show up on Thursday listen If you think after 20 years, I'm gonna watch a comic five nights in a row if I'm the club owner
Starting point is 00:12:13 You got rocks in your head Okay, I don't want to see it from the comic. Yeah I've been here for 16 years working every fucking night banging out with comics. I got a kid in high school You know, this is the essential comedy club owner. Well, you talk to now when I go to a club You know, like you get a survey from the airlines now You satisfy when I go to a club the first thing I look for is Thursday night, right? I want the owner to show up, right? If I fucking worked on Twitter and social network and gave the podcast Sell this place out. Yeah, I expect that you see you there shake my hand
Starting point is 00:12:49 I don't give a fuck if you show up the rest of the weekend. I'd rather not have you around with your tired ass Because I'm gonna be sparking in here, you know, I'm gonna be doing what I do. I don't want you around but I like those guys I like those guys that call you Friday and go if you need something call the club manager and he'll drive you to whatever Yeah, I don't need anything. I'll Uber. Yeah, but I like those guys that goes into the package for me It's not the money. I'd rather make less money and get treated like a human being and for them to understand You know, when I go into a comedy club and have to stab sister me I heard the podcast with Jimmy Schubert That that means the world to me. Yeah, you know, me and Lee used to do a podcast at a club
Starting point is 00:13:30 Where every week the lady would call me she didn't know what a podcast was And I sit to leave we're never coming down here again because I can't deal with somebody When the height of podcasts doesn't know what a podcast is and managing a comedy club Yeah, I'd rather not make that money. I'd rather avoid that whole fucking situation Because if you're a fan of comedy you're a comedy club manager, how don't you know about the podcast world? Yeah, dude It is the single thing that has made comedy clubs come back again is the podcast You would go to comedy store. You got three shows or so out. It's because of the podcast He's people talk about that place. It's I mean, it's right sold out of it
Starting point is 00:14:10 I mean, how are you like you said, how could you to be business? I can't I mean what the fuck it's like somebody go somebody's looking at that, you know You're your comedy special you're trying to sell it. Yeah, I watched a couple minutes of it So did you not watch the whole fucking thing and just a couple me watch five minutes of is that enough? Maybe it's like it's weird. It's the same thing. It's like, you know, take a minute I think I mean, you know, how busy are people? Well, here's the thing the comedy podcast brought comedy back because People got to meet who we are now. Yeah, people get to see the real you, you know
Starting point is 00:14:48 For years, I thought, you know for years, I thought like I said, I was a fan of that guys And I saw him do HBO specials and I saw him do young comedian specials and then I worked with him and I never fucking paid attention to him again and Now people avoid all that you know, what's in my heart, you know, what's in my head? You know, my opinions aren't certain fucking things. Yeah, you know, they know People don't come to a show very rarely anymore. Do I see somebody get up in the middle of my set and walk out? Ten years ago people would walk out by the dozens. Yeah No, now you found you found your family when I did the wrong as you are. Yeah, people would walk out by the handfuls
Starting point is 00:15:30 By the handfuls, I still know they know what they're getting. They know what they're seeing They know who they're coming to see, you know, I still remember one particular weekend in Atlanta Before laughing skull. He had a big club Do you remember before laughing skull? Yeah, it was it was it was like an amusement thing I'm using and the guy rat was able to pay the comedians with the coins He made off all the music games. Yes, yes, because that place was packed But the comedy club and it was like he didn't care if the audience was he just I don't remember it was fucking crazy Yeah, I remember going in there right after the lonely shard on the way in
Starting point is 00:16:04 People were touching me Taking like in those days people didn't really bother you for pictures, but people like doing different shit Like we can't wait to see it and I still remember getting off that stage and those same people looking away. Yeah, I Still remember going to all those rooms and just walking people by the handful Well, you know, I did I tell you the truth, you know Your kinesis used to do the same thing I would remember as a dormitory the comedy store before he got his fucking before he was, you know, he would fuck I want you to take the names of three people who died
Starting point is 00:16:42 There were close to you just write down the names and three seconder and then put on a napkin And and just hand them up here so I could wipe my ass People would make a fucking beeline for the door like they never like but you know, but that's what happens until you find Your fucking groove, you know, I mean, I mean people like, you know now the people are coming to you want to come see you They know what you're doing, you know, I mean, but it's so funny like people go like how people come to a comedy club And don't like Google somebody and see what they do and they get upset in the showroom going I didn't know what didn't you fucking Google? No, but three I seen three famous walks. Yeah, the best walk I ever seen was One of the best walking a room was James Inman out of Seattle, Washington
Starting point is 00:17:27 Yeah, no James. I've been around for a long time. Yeah, I've heard that name crazy crazy motherfucker would walk a whole room He would walk half of it A blonde little cute thing from Seattle and they just walk around but then walking Bremerton one night like walking dirty people Wow, and then but the walk the best walk Out of it was Stan Hope 98 Seattle, Washington They were walking out in packs of threes and he would yell at them and go hold on before you leave I want you to hear this tit-fight joke or he would say something to me. Why are you leaving?
Starting point is 00:18:06 Come on, you know, you're gonna go home and fuck her up the ass and put your dick in the face I mean, he was insulting them as they were leaving. Yeah, that was fucking classic like they were walking out in threes Yeah, and just I love that dog just but just the not giving back to give a five That's a complete different gift. No, that is I mean, dude, I watched fucking bill But I was at the show in Philly with bill Burr got fucking booed I'm always getting booed by like 10,000 people and just Fucking going at him like fucking just like This sheer information he had about the city of philadelphia and their sports teams and their losses and

But just after that bill Burr, I got 11 minutes left and I'm doing all of it I was just fucking dying to what balls that fuck but it's it's fucking great and I love that What are the options? You can't walk off the stage because you lose. Yeah, it's a psychological loss You just lost it's you in a microphone against 300 people Yeah, dude, I was the first guy out there when they started fucking booing me about fuck
Starting point is 00:19:18 I'm sitting there taking fucking haymakers. I'm trying to take him haymakers A couple minutes till I fucking realized I go these motherfuckers are booing I didn't realize they were fucking booing at first and then they're fucking booing and 10,000 people and your fucking family should be audience And I know those fans if I go fucking off on these motherfuckers I was always supposed to do like eight minutes anyway And so I said hey, thank you guys been great But the minute I fucking next to you know, the throwing fucking bottles at my head

They got a free cheese burger Do you know what happens when you give away a free cheese burger in Philadelphia? You know what that's like?

Starting point is 00:28:38 He was arab was yeah, he was a guy remember that's and there wasn't a lot of arabs around No, no, so if one arab showed up, he had to be really cool. He had a show with diamonds and coke Yeah, yeah, you know, but he was one of those guys. He was sam the arab and did a last jody arab in new york Because I tell him yeah, so basically it was cool to be arab in the 80s So this dude this dude has a bag, but he digs his two fingers Digs him into the he like tore a page out the first time I've ever seen this done I go this is going to be a scene in the movie. He tears a Page out of the magazine like almost straight falls into like the perfect triangle makes a bendal on
Starting point is 00:29:11 Then he looks in the freaking bag and he fucking eyeballs. He takes his two fingers in He grabs a bitty fucking looks out of the eye. He throws it in the freaking bendal You know a bit a little more like I did he just died in eight ball Then like there was stuff on the end of his fingers. He just like I mean he just folded it up and he goes here Like take that and take that over to St. Louis. It was like he eyed an eight ball I've never seen anybody do that before in the front seat of a car I go from like, you know right out of the bag into the bendal into the thing
Starting point is 00:29:36 If I knew what was in the bag, I could hire an eight ball Yeah, and it could be off 2.5. Maybe yeah If I knew I had if I knew I had seven in the bag, I could hire an eight ball If I knew I had 14, I could hire an eight ball, you know, I could I could hire You could pretty much I yeah, I could hire it take some out I was just a young kid. I was like, you know, I probably like 26 or 27 I saw that guy do that. You know, man, that's amazing. How long have you been doing comedy for now? Jesus probably started and I started in Philly. It was like coming up on 30 30 years
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yeah, but I did you know Don back in Philly or was No, I didn't know Don back in Philly. There's a couple I knew Keith Robinson back in Philly and who Todd Glass back in Philly I knew like, you know, those were the kind of guys that you kind of started with, uh, you know some and Yeah, but I only I did comedy for about two years in Philly I was going to go to New York and I said, well, if I go to New York Eventually I'm going to have to go to LA anyway And I go I got this, you know, and I because I wouldn't you know been performing like, you know, basically like my whole life I was doing fucking magic when I was 11 and 12. I got like three or four shows. I'll bring it up
Starting point is 00:30:39 No, bring it up. I so won't so then and then I went to I hit 18. I just went to clubs for a couple years and headed out this way Because I knew I was gonna if I went to New York, I was gonna have to go to LA anyway So I just said let me just skip out the middleman and just go to LA and then I started working at the I showcased for missing like two weeks later I didn't pass but I got a job at the doorman the night they hand the night that Tony Clifton Was supposed to appear in a man was like a year after Andy Kaufman's death
Starting point is 00:31:03 And I mean Tony Clifton is appearing at the main room in the comedy store and everybody thought oh fuck Andy It was a character that Andy Kaufman used to do this Tony Clifton guy They thought Andy Kaufman was like a year after his death. They thought it was gonna be and that was the day I started working as a doorman They needed extra people because it was crazy and it was really Bob Zamuda dressed as as Tony Clifton because So but all the media thought it was Andy Kaufman playing a joke on him and he went up there and his fucking I never seen any leg and the guy was on stage like probably 15 20 will start walking people He's flitting like cigarettes and people throwing drinks and people this character Tony Clifton was a fucking nut bag
Starting point is 00:31:38 Empties the fucking room out and that's people were walking out like well we felt like you know It was just hilarious But ever since then I started working at the door and then eventually we got passed as a as a like non-paid regular I could do the belly room. So probably like you know 86 87, you know, that's where I started Yeah That was big when Bob Zamuda. I never got all that by the way. No, I never did either I mean it was because your Andy Kaufman used to do this character
Starting point is 00:32:04 And then when he would do it like about halfway through doing the character Andy Kaufman do it He gave the character to Bob Zamuda and said you do Andy caught you do and he said you do Tony Clifton from now and you just here's the thing because they were dressed up It was a big deal You know, everybody knew that Andy Kaufman was doing that character. They didn't realize he had handed it off for him to do So a year after his death When Tony Clifton's make an appearance at the main room at the comedy store Everybody thought this is where Andy's gonna. This is where he's gonna tell everybody didn't really die
Starting point is 00:32:34 They thought he was like playing a joke on so but it was fucking crazy. It was insane. That's like, you know Bob Zamuda to this day continues to do The Tony Clifton character, which is yeah, he does it around town. He does. I've seen him at flappers I've seen him. I've seen him do it in in Chicago at the one of the Chicago comedy festivals I mean he's just I mean that's not like a big thing because most people don't remember Andy Kaufman used to do the character It's way beyond like like you should have dropped out like years ago, but he still does it I mean, it's it's the stupidest thing like, you know, it's just like at one point it was good He would actually try to do a show but he's been in the comedy store in the main room

Yeah, and you lose 100 pounds and you stop getting rolls You know the fat guy no more. Yeah, well the same thing. I was really concerned about If I stopped this cocaine thing, you know that the funny will not be there anymore. That's part of the whole Craziness, I thought that was really ingrained in what fueled me Yeah, so the fear that fear was what kept me from stopping From maybe 2004 on I wanted a quick cocaine. Well, yeah, but I'm like I can't do this. Well, it's interesting I mean, I think, you know, you're such an authentic human being. I mean some guys

Starting point is 00:39:49 And I'm excited about that. I can't wait for this. How do you feel about that today? Like We had this fucking stupid excuse It was a fucking excuse that oh, you know Well when a comic go performing it's offstage Yeah, they're adrenaline. They they have to keep the high going. It was this fucking bullshit that I bought into also I'm not gonna lie to you. Yeah, but I'm gonna debunk that bullshit right now. Yeah first off Yes, you need that needs something
Starting point is 00:40:20 To take that edge off when I come offstage and I have a great set. I'm ready to fight somebody Yeah, I want to stab somebody in the fucking lawn. Yeah And then you talk to your peers behind stage a little bit and you go out and take pictures or whatever And then you go back to your room And your mind starts racing, you know for me my mind starts racing That's why I bring the vapor with me. Yeah, I roll the extra joint when I get back to the hotel Yeah, you know because that's my night to be loose. You know, I love my friday night in comedy my friday night in comedy I don't have to get up

Whatever the deal is But I mean, you know, Elway did one boat two years to Doug Williams was his name He played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they went bananas on the Broncos that guy never played again They went to his house the next day and said you're playing football again. You embarrass white people You destroyed white people. We will never fucking let you play football guys He's coaching fucking high school football in the witness relocation league. You think I'm fucking kid Well, you know, I love I love that Elway towards the end of his career wins back-to-back Super Bowls Oh, no, he was a bad mother, but that's what I'm saying like you don't ever get that one
Starting point is 00:55:42 No, no, but also love that he also got with Peyton Manning and got him to go out Well, he got surrounded with enough good players and he got a second ring on his way out and I mean he wasn't Peyton Manning of Years before but always do have to manage the game because that defense was ridiculous But I love that he got the second Super Bowl ring playing with You know Doug Elway is the you know running the front office of that team Sorry to go off on the fucking whatever, but it's true. I know because of you I got into an acting class
Starting point is 00:56:12 Because of you I did what you said You know Three out of ten comics are gonna have a pension Yeah, three out of ten comics walk around with no insurance. Yeah, you know three because they never Really thought of the acting side No, I Didn't want to be an actor. I didn't start off to be an actor But I thought it would be a valuable tool in my tool shed
Starting point is 00:56:40 Yeah, I knew that somewhere or another it would help me on stage make you better stand up Make sure by the stand up when you act and then Comes the day when you incorporate your stand up Into your acting and now you're acting it becomes a fucking like I don't do a lot of things good I don't fuck good. I mean I'd be able to cook a fucking steak But I will tell you what I'm very good at is going into a room Yeah with four people and fucking them up. Yeah, and it's because of the original room I give that credit to the original room and cold reading workshops. Yeah, you combine that together and you got something special
Starting point is 00:57:20 Yeah, I mean because dude, I look at all the all the roles I've done I've got a lot of fucking roles and it was just going in straight up auditioning I didn't know anybody I didn't have a fucking famous uncle. I didn't have a famous dad I mean you had to go in with three hundred and eighty other fucking actors and do the best fucking reading you could The competition side of that got me fucking excited. I mean there was a there was a there was about six months With me and Billy Gardell if I didn't get the job, he got the job if I didn't get the job He got the job. I got the job. He didn't get the job But for six months, we were going for the same stuff and then one time
Starting point is 00:57:52 We're just coming around a corner or Warner Brothers and he comes around going to go Shubert Have a god now I go, but you know that friendly competition makes you better. It gets you know, I mean I mean if I didn't get I want to know if my friend got it But but like you said that that acting stuff I never I knew When I first got here, I cannot lie to you or to the audience when I first got here. I had a mental
Starting point is 00:58:17 competitive naturally But to succeed I had to eliminate People as competition. Yeah making my comrades. Yeah, because you you're competing against yourself. That's what I do usually What I did for years was when I get an audition I made as a cosmic karma thing for me I would call somebody who was my type and say did you get a call for this? And then we go. No, I didn't you gave me a couple calls like you're raging. Yeah Even though I wanted that role
Starting point is 00:58:49 I would call people just for the karmic energy That's great to let people know that because you don't know what they're looking for. I'm the same way You don't want to give me the job Don't give it to me. We give it to Lee. Yeah, you don't want to give it to Lee. Let's give it to the agustino Yeah, you don't want to give it to the agustino. Let's give it to fucking rogan You don't want to give it to rogan. Let's give it to hinge clip. Yeah, but you're gonna give it to somebody in my family Yeah, you gotta give it to somebody you're gonna give it to somebody in my family And that's how I thought when I went into those auditions. I eliminate everybody. I got no competition this time
Starting point is 00:59:17 Yeah, I don't I have no ill will to no comic anything at all. I agree with you I always feel when lee gets a special. I just got up I feel because I hang out with lee. I just got up. That means I just got up My friends wins are my wins and you have to have that attitude And if you don't in this town, you'll fucking you you'll when I see a hater We brought like a piece of fruit for the inside out when I see it when I see a hater I giggle because I know they have no future. Yeah They just signaled out their own future themselves. Yeah, I told him one day
Starting point is 00:59:47 These open mic as you hang out with you go to lunch with them through it. I don't want you hanging out with them Because they don't know what they're talking about and they're hating The same way I hated at that level. Yeah, because at that level I hated Because you don't have what you want So your frustration it's hate brought on by frustration. Yeah Now when I go for an audition the first guy calls nick tutorial Nick you going out for this pizza guy. No, I didn't You know, I call I would call Vinny Kerr though. I would call
Starting point is 01:00:17 Another friend of mine that me and him started together a mafia role. I'd rather you get if I don't get it Yeah, you know, I'd rather one of my friends get it. So absolutely that helps you As a karma level. Yeah, because you know what people are worried so much about getting the fucking job They can't actually go into the room and be who all they ever get paid because they're trying to give them something What they think they're looking for you got to go in and not give a fuck about any of that You know, I don't even care about what you do in the audition. It doesn't look. I'm already going in Look if I get the job great if I don't find I'm not fucking attached. What do I lose? Yeah, exactly what I was meant to put on this earth. That's exactly the acting is a fucking cherry on the sundae
Starting point is 01:00:53 That's right. That's it's a cherry on the sundae Yeah, so I don't give a fuck if I get it or not. It doesn't matter to me. I started as a dirty comic. That's what I am Yeah, everything else is background music. I know for a fact like and I tell people this I don't want you to be an actor Yeah, but I'm gonna stand up. I just want you to have the tools. Yeah, so if they do call you You don't look like a fucking Johnny Jericho Yeah, and they will call and they will call eventually somebody's gonna call you one day You're gonna look like Johnny Jericho because you had to do the work because you didn't do the work And then you're gonna blame it on them and then be it's like when I first went to the south to do comedy
Starting point is 01:01:25 They don't like you in the bible belt They didn't like me in the bible belt. I'll never come back. That's what a loser says Right a winner says I'm gonna go back there and make them love me. Yeah, I gotta slow down my acts like Elvis in Vegas Right, let them fall in love with me first. I can't go for the finger bang I gotta kiss him in the neck and tell him I love tell him I love that song he wrote I love when you sing bedfoot And then you go for the finger that's it and it's like a fucking finger bank No, but it's but it's you know, and I gotta tell you I've always I feel obligated to like, you know guys are coming out
Starting point is 01:01:57 They don't get that I always feel obligated to help because you know how many people did that for me Like people fucking took me aside and say you got to do this. You got to do this You got to do this you got to do this and know all those things And and over the years this cumulative help that people would give you and I feel obligated to fucking pass it along To my friends that people I think that are worthy to have ability to have talent You know, like you said, I'm not I'm the last guy to get envious or bitter or job I don't have it in my heart. I don't have it in my heart, man. I root for fucking everybody I root more for the guy on stage that he you know, because it doesn't make it who is some there's somebody
Starting point is 01:02:31 You know, they put the work in they've been doing it 20 fucking years I mean, I think only another comedians realize the the effort and the tenacity and the fucking grit and the guts It takes to hang in there even when you think it's all going wrong and still believing yourself and still do it And still banging away and then you fucking look back and sometimes it's ours I don't stop to sometimes just breathe. I have to look all the way back. Wow. Look at all the shit You're able to do look at all the study. Yeah, sometimes you're gonna stop and Give yourself credit. I just saw you in that movie the other night. What's that? I've been thinking about you for a month. Oh, because I saw you three times in the matter of a couple weeks
