Starting point is 00:00:00 What's happened? Not much. How you doing? I think the worst Jewish thing happened to me today. What happened? I was depositing a check and the ATM ate it and it disappeared. So I had to go into the bank and call the bank. And now it's just a hope that it's in the ATM somewhere.
Starting point is 00:00:22 Who gave you the check? A comedy club. I can tell them to replace it. If it was like 300 bucks. Still, 300 is 300, you're Jewish. We want our paper, you know what I'm saying? I can see you lit a little light tonight for your 300 there. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:00:39 The little Hamas light in the back. Oh. You got your little Hamas light. You're like trying to live like them in a little tent. I asked Joe, he said it looked good, man. It added to the background. I don't know. You don't like it? No, no, no. I love everything you do. I'm just saying. I don't know if you got a candle lit for.
Starting point is 00:01:00 I do for the 300 bucks. It's fucked up. Yeah, for the 300, for the small 300. Oh, it sucks. It sucks when they fuck with your money. It really does. And it's, you've never been broke. That's when they really torment you. That's when they really fuck with you.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Now I'm remembering you used to get pissed when you'd get paid by a check. Yeah, because I got a deposit and wait and they only want to give you 10 bucks out of the 500. Just give me the money. I don't have time for this shit. You're adding an extra two hours to the fucking gig. And for me, it was like a check to the hand for the first, you know, so I didn't have time to do all this dumb shit. You gotta pay me cash, you know? Did you tell clubs that?
Starting point is 00:01:53 Yeah, they knew. They knew when I took the draw. I'll just take draw you to death until there's nothing left and you got no choice. What cash? Oh my, so you would, and what would they say? I can't imagine going to a manager number Yeah, I need them when they need that in cash every week. I had the same story What's that not gonna believe this fucking lost my ATM card on the plane? God damn it
Starting point is 00:02:16 What the fuck am I gonna do and they go? Okay? What do you need? Every week I lost my ATM card. I didn't even have an ATM card. Didn't even have an ATM card. And I would tell the club manager, man, I lost my ATM card. And they would just give you cash, Jesus Christ. So let's say they give me 400 for the week.
Starting point is 00:02:41 I take 100 Thursday, 100 Friday, and 100 late Friday night night because I had to go shopping on Saturday. That meant that's code for my Coke dealers here. You're not shopping? And then you would have like 100 bucks left? And then you would just go, what am I going to give you a check for? I'll just give you the last 100. Could you do it more than once at a club? Like if you went back? Oh, I, I went to, I was in a club in Canada one night in Toronto. This had to be 97, 96, and I go to the 97, 98, and I go to the club.
Starting point is 00:03:19 It's called Hollywood something on the main street there in Toronto. I told you when I fucking, I don't know what I was getting. I wasn't getting any money. I was getting like 600 for the week and I had to do 12 shows and live at the guy's house who drove the strip hookers around at night. He would wake me up like at six. I got one that's got a discount you want.
Starting point is 00:03:43 Not really. It's only like a thing, a comic that could understand. Right. But you loved it. It was day to day. It was a day to day life, which I'm the king of. A lot of people can't live like that. Just day to day life.
Starting point is 00:04:01 And I remember going, I got there on a Tuesday night, I asked them for a hundred I went to the strip club. I blew it in five minutes. I came back and asked him for four 400 yeah, you were gonna be like negative like you're on the first day. I'm earning a hundred bucks a day I only had 100 left, but I was there for two weeks. So it was really 1200 So I just had to pace myself two of the days hundred left but I was there for two weeks so it was really twelve hundred so I just had to pace myself two of the days but you don't seem like a pace yourself kind of guy you know you gotta do what you got sometimes you're gonna
Starting point is 00:04:33 eat the free burger at the club you got to sacrifice a little bit oh yeah that's I'm very grateful that I don't have to at least now live like that we'll see what happens we'll see what happens We'll see if in a couple years it comes to that but I guess that's a new that's a level You'd be surprised how many comics Do it in the beginning like they just? There's a lot There's a lot of comics listen them a lot of young comics
Starting point is 00:05:03 lot. There's a lot of comics. Listen, man, a lot of young comics. In the beginning, I was going through other things, not addiction or anything. I was going through a divorce. And it's sad because I always made a little bit of money. You know, I didn't make a ton of money. I didn't have a Maserati. But I was always one of those guys that could squeeze something out every three weeks To get ahead, you know two thousand selling a car or something and Fucking comedy like just
Starting point is 00:05:36 I didn't know I never cared about anything when I was doing comedy The first four or five years. I just didn't care Like I don't have to worry about discover bill. Like, if I send it, I send it. If I don't, what do you want me to do? I'm trying to be a fucking renegade here. I'm trying to be a, you know, when you get into comedy, you're going against the tide of life. You don't believe in traditional type shit. If not, you would become traditional. You would go to college and join a frat
Starting point is 00:06:10 and fucking drink beer and then graduate and get a regular fucking job. You went to college and then had to tell your parents you wanted to become a fucking comedian. And these are the things people, some parents go fuck you, you do it, but you cut off Okay, I'll fucking do it. You know, it's different situations, but like I told you a long time ago Nobody drives up to an open mic with a Maserati
Starting point is 00:06:38 No, and they and if they do they're not staying there for a while. No, you know, so It went on for years with me man, you know like Feature-acting that's why I worked all the time. I needed that luxury income Yeah, I can't like I'm just I'm getting a hundred a show and I'm very grateful for it If usually like if I've worked for some cool people and they will give you a little bit extra sometimes and that's awesome but it's just I'm at a point where if I'm breaking even, it's like, this is a great week. Like it's, and I don't even, it's, I've just been lucky that I haven't,
Starting point is 00:07:13 like there's a comic I opened who did a show with me or two shows in Minnesota. I think his name is Aidan. He's been opening up for Dan Soder, but he lives in, he like rented a closet at a point. I did. It's, I wish. You figure it out. And it's sad that it comes, like I was living in a great little apartment in Boulder.
Starting point is 00:07:35 It was my little rocky apartment. And next thing you know, I was in a car. And it was fun, it was lonely. It was interesting. You learned about all these things because you're depending on yourself for everything as a comic. And then I worked with comics that had families, you know, and they would tell me how they had two more weeks on the road. And I would go, thank God, I don't have a family,
Starting point is 00:08:05 because I don't want to do that. I don't want to leave kids and a wife for three fucking weeks. And these guys weren't big time headliners. They were basically making the minimum the national minimum. And it's still better than a regular job, but after you add hotels and meals and you know, and a lot of comics, listen, man, I worked with comics that all they did was triple runs. Okay, that was their comedy career. And what do those pay? At that time, I
Starting point is 00:08:38 don't know what they do now. I don't even think he's still around. He's not. It was like around he's not it was like 175 no 150 and 75 for the feature And how many shows would you do in a run for five and you picked up half your pay? Oh no So you're making like 600 bucks 700 bucks as a headliner Yeah, and if you're a feature act and he's paying you 75 he's really paying you $50 and he's gonna mail you a check for 25
Starting point is 00:09:19 So when you get home you have a check for like $180 or something like that. Well, who would cover gas on those I would oh Shit. Yeah, because some but gas was fucking $2 dollars for two. I also got myself a Datsun I had you know 38 miles to the gallon. I knew that for the life I needed There was no way you were gonna get a big car Gotta cut all cost Everything you know to live that nomad life And I had a fucking Datsun with 100 or something thousand miles that you couldn't break it. And you know, who the fuck knows Lee, it was a different, I'm 61, I was, I was 31 years old, maybe 30, 32, 33 when that was going on. And I had nothing going on.
Starting point is 00:10:06 No family, no nothing. What a better way to look at the country. Oh, I know. And a great way to become a comic if you are just out. You know, having a family as a comic could be, and listen, you could be a comic with any situation if you're cut out for it and you're willing to put the work in But it's a little tougher with a family
Starting point is 00:10:29 It got so tough. It got all for me. I Didn't like I didn't like it anymore What part being away?

Yeah, it was great It was a great time. I thank you you you and Theo and Joe invited me to go just see the mothership, which was awesome It was really close. It was it it felt like the store when we were there just like the energy there I haven't been back to the store, but it was just exciting. I got to see a bunch of people who, like Derek and Asan, who were door guys in like young comics at the store.
Starting point is 00:18:31 And then I got to see, I was so excited. I got to see Ron White. I've never seen him before. And I got to see him and it was just crazy as a comic to see like his entire 15 minutes just wove together and he had callbacks throughout jokes From back to the first joke and I don't think I pissed him off But I was I said in the green one was like that was amazing. Like it just looked so effortless He's like well been doing it 30 something years. It's not really effort. I would took some effort
Starting point is 00:18:59 I was like it I wasn't like like obviously it took work, but it was just, it flowed so smoothly and it was amazing to see. He's a master. Yeah. And I told you, you know, a long time ago that one of the best things I did for my career and for me was to go to the improv on Thursday nights. Just to watch a headliner.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I wouldn't even say hello. Just sit in the corner. Sometimes you got to watch a show. Sometimes you got to go outside of the realm and go pay for a ticket at this level. Anybody and just sit in the back. You don't need to go to the green room. You don't need to hang out.
Starting point is 00:19:41 You don't need to play checkers. No. It's really amazing what you learn and in your mind Force yourself To be an audience member For us so now you're learning It was it was a huge learning lesson like in that main room show I Still remember being like a bona fide open mic er and
Starting point is 00:20:10 Taking a bus to the comedy works on Friday To watch different headliners and I would leave there in awe and every week I would say I'm just gonna go rob somebody because I'll never get that good you know in your mind right see it you fold and you go I'll never get that good you know I got problems I got a fungi toenail I got a girlfriend like me I got credit issues you know I got to tax taxi You make up all the uses for yourself, but then you go you know what I'm gonna try my best
Starting point is 00:20:49 And it's really crazy when you see that I was thinking I paid to see Jerry Seinfeld Okay, I went with another comic open my girl and she drove and went to see and it was like my girl and she drove and went to see and it was like seeing a guy from TV in front of you that you've also seen on you know the young comedian special Rodney Dangerfield it was pretty impressive for me you know at the time and I saw what it took kind of shorter Like the whole thing took me I forgot where I saw him somewhere in Denver Maybe a small theater three thousand people or something But I remember feeling like wow This is real. I'll never get to this level
Starting point is 00:21:43 But it's pretty nice to come and watch from time to time. Oh, it's fast. At that time, my life was like, I could have been in prison tomorrow. I could have been in fucking Miami moving a kilo. It was so unwhatever that I never saw myself like that. But just know that that was there. At that point, were you like calling yourself a comic? I don't like that, but just know that that was there. At that point, were you like calling yourself a comic? Were you thinking you were gonna be a comedian or you were just loving it and were gonna see it?
Starting point is 00:22:14 This was probably the summer of 92, and I was probably doing comedy maybe 16 months. And that point you're like I'm gonna be a comic Yeah, but I didn't know where to start like I had already Taken the stand-up class I'd already got won a contest and I was already the house MC Which is pretty fucking good for you. Yeah, sounds like you know where to go but I Didn't have the balls to drive to Denver to get in the mix
Starting point is 00:22:51 Okay, okay. I'm not ashamed to say that by any means So I would do little gigs in Boulder And if somebody had a gig for me, you know, close by. Every time I went to Denver, I felt like somebody going to New York City. Yeah, come down and do a set, Lee.
Starting point is 00:23:14 And you get there and it's like, you get there at nine and they're like, your set's at 1.15 in the morning. And you're like, you're my friend. Why would you put me at 1.15? You know, but that's the racket. And you're like, you're my friend. Why would you put me at one place? But that's the racket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Well, how many nights I went to this one place, and he would put me up last. And I didn't have the chops to fucking pull it off last. And this is after three or four headliners. The second guy would put me up last. It's just people were miserable fucks, you know. So it wasn't until I came to New York in 93 and then I went back to Denver. I went to Denver this time, I played the big boy league. I said
Starting point is 00:24:00 enough of it. That's the other decision I made at that time. Which was what? The big boy league. I'm going out of the comedy at that time, which was what the big boy league? I'm going out of the comedy works I'm gonna show who the fuck I am on Tuesday nights And I had goals. I was gonna get into the comedy works. I Was gonna get on the open mic and then after a few weeks I was only start to get star spots and after a couple of those they make you a regular
Starting point is 00:24:27 So that's exactly what I did how long did that take 90 days to become a regular yeah but you did a lot of free spots star spots five minutes seven minutes that's like me driving 45 minutes there and 45 minutes back yeah but that's still kind of quick to get past a major club. But, let me see, I started really getting involved there in 94, right? And then they had a contest. Do you remember me telling you this?
Starting point is 00:25:02 They had a contest and I really did well. Like everybody was like, Joey's going to win this. And I won. But another kid was clean and he won. But then the comics called the next day and said he stole a bunch of Seinfeld jokes. I do remember that. So now the lady who ran the contest felt bad so she's like come on down and You know, I know the powers of be we're kind of holding you back because of what you are and who you are
Starting point is 00:25:37 But you come on So now she started giving me star spots. I was I'm lying to you. I was probably doing star spots for six months, maybe Okay, I know that's quite one a week to a week Wednesday and Thursday and Then you graduate to Friday early Then Saturday then Sunday It'd be fun if there were more clubs like that around the country Well at the time comedy works Denver was very smart I got a hand at the Wendy
Starting point is 00:26:08 if There's a job I want to do Listen I'm watching the trend of comedy. Mm-hmm and The ten the trend the comedy is with top heavy. And with bottom heavy, top heavy is we got a lot of headliners. And with bottom heavy, we got a lot of people getting into the business and you have that gray area, which is feature, co-headline, co-MC, you know, all those type of positions, right? Right These kids are running around
Starting point is 00:26:56 Like you know going to open mics and and and at times and ask me if I'm lying it feels like a dead-end street the life of Open mic or feels like a dead-end street. It feels like you're in a Am amusement fucking ride and you just got to get off, but you don't know how to get off it's like getting to LA years later and Trying to get an agent and they're like a man listen go book some projects and cry You're like, yeah That's what I'm coming to you for what the fuck that's why I'm here. So yeah, this whole life is a catch-fucking 22 you know, so
Starting point is 00:27:30 But they did something that I really appreciate and I thought of till today and I'm gonna tell you why Because it changed who I was At that process it took me off a certain road and it put me on and enlightened me to a bigger road. Okay. When I got back to Denver in 94, winter of 93, fucking is, hired Matt Woods. There's two Matt's, and that's why I get confused, there's Matt Berry and Matt Woods. Matt Berry ended up becoming a successful TV writer, fucking off the chains comics from Denver.
Starting point is 00:28:23 And Matt Woods was one of the writers for Roseanne early on. Well, came out of Denver, but Matt was a very great guy. And that was in charge of Tuesday nights before the open mic, the open mic started at eight. At six, you met Matt and you went over the material you were gonna go on stage that night there was only eight comics a week, you know So he had time You had time to talk to him and This was like the eight comics were gonna be on the open mic that week. Yeah, okay
Starting point is 00:29:00 And he talked to him and as he saw them progress he dropped a dime for them Lee call this guy in South Jersey Tell him you want to come down for a weekend. He'll know when you call, you know, it's not big money but I got work for you and I Could do Matt's class in the summer But I couldn't do Matt's in the winter so Matt felt
Starting point is 00:29:29 Because I did the sports better spending. Yeah, and I would get out of that six by the time I got to Denver It would be 730. I Couldn't get the mats and so Matt felt a little like What the fuck you throwing me through the walls? that's why he got in my face the one night and said I could be a fucking superstar. And if I just did things right, he goes, you're showing up with a fucking white T-shirt
Starting point is 00:29:55 with fucking burn marks in it and you're killing. He got, what are you crazy? He goes, you gotta polish your shoes and you gotta take this more serious, you gotta show up to the writing workshop. That's what they call them, writing workshop. So those eight comics got to prepare their open mic with a professional who had been on the road, who had fucking hung out with Roseanne all those years.
Starting point is 00:30:21 And he's one of the many great writers from Denver the Denver comedy scene has a Fucking great comedy writers. They write they still write for people, you know so That really helped me Now you got and I'm not gonna say got lucky like it sounds like he was a great comic But my question for like these other classes is like if so if I was a new comic looking to take a class Would you trust a comic who's teaching it? No, like are you gonna get bad? I'm not gonna fucking first of all
Starting point is 00:30:56 You have to get into that rotation at the comedy works and that's tough enough You're just not showing up to the comedy works at that time with a fucking flute And saying I want to do your open mic. Oh, no. Yeah, it sounds like it was booked which is it was like it was like ten people at like three minutes and Out of those ten people she'd tell like two to come back It was like any you know It was like any other play and then after you got so she had already had an open mic scene in there What I mean Mike scene was a lower end and guys doing star spots
Starting point is 00:31:36 It's just cool to have a because that's when you were saying like what it feels like to be a feature and Stuff and an open mic er. There's no I'm lucky to have you and everyone to because I like I can You guys give me a path a little bit as an open mic or it feels like I'm standing somewhere and there's a million paths There's almost no way to really know how to do it both those clubs like that have those like you get past. It's really cool Yes, and you know everybody has local listen everybody has local clubs and headliners coming on the weekends some of them are regular general headliners and Some of them are Burke Reicher and Tom Segura and you know But not a lot of clubs could afford that every week that that action so they have different types of headline

Everybody has issues to some part. Like I know at times after the pandemic, I had some mental health issues. You feel them, you know, you don't have control.
Starting point is 00:44:44 And we all have certain issues. One of the biggest issues I you feel them, you know, you don't have control. And we all have certain issues. One of the biggest issues I've ever had is this times. I think I'm fucking crazy. Okay, situation happens. Something happens. Usually it's something emotional in my life. I react to it and what I thought at the time was not the best way to react to it. But then I wait for the reaction and I react to that, but nothing ever happened. So I just didn't say nothing, but then I think about it and I double check and I'm like, what am I fucking crazy for doing that and then something will happen That'll justify that I'm not fucking crazy. Okay, you know We've been here four years
Starting point is 00:45:40 When we got here You know we got here in fucking August We were talking to different people and they said put her in softball girls softball So we signed her up the first year was okay. You know we got involved. I why were you that type of shit then the second season we got more involved and We had a good coach Then the second season we got more involved and we had a good coach. Then the second season it got a little weird and we started playing travel or something and there was just one
Starting point is 00:46:15 coach that would always fucking show up when he wanted to, you know, and with his kid Practice is always like are they coming up and then game is always like 50-50, you know If they would even show up. Yeah, if they'd even show up And we have like a double-headed one weekend and on the way home somebody goes Yeah, we would have won that game with that kid would have showed up. She's a great player, the daughter. Real cute kid. So I think I asked my wife, I go, where was she? And my wife's like, uh-huh. She just didn't show no call.

This is the only movie that was showing right? The woman's bad like a theater six, but it was a long walk It's not like people hanging out in the hallway, right? Yeah, it's all like Frozen's playing in 10 minutes. No, it's like. It's not like people hanging out in the hallways, right? Right, I hope, oh God.
Starting point is 01:05:16 You're walking, you're by yourself. And when you go in the bathroom, as soon as you walk in the bathroom and you look, it was like two shitters, like four urinals, and they're all empty. Listen, they could be empty, like you know how you look in the mirror and see how you look, and then you walk over. One time, you take your dick out over the urinal, two guys just mysteriously pop next to you. Oh no. You're like, I didn't walk past you motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:05:48 Like I was gonna walk past you, I would walk together with you. Holy shit. You guys walking two feet behind me, timing wise. But my dick ain't even out of my hands. And all of a sudden two guys will pop here. Hi, excuse me. Do you come here on Sunday nights?

You know how these people are they're fucking Don't use What's it just a porn theater or was it because you said it was like one at a week in a week
Starting point is 01:06:41 They did something like old movies, you know Oh, this was who would go there any other day besides the park because they can't clean it that now can you imagine going to see a movie there on Wednesday? Yeah Mickey Mouse for your kids and little ghost move. Holy shit I wouldn't go there at all. That's what you call them, sperm ghosts. They don't come to life, they're like a half-fucking, you know, they would kill them in Texas, in other words.

Starting point is 01:07:36 for the last fucking year I don't like leaving my girls I don't like leaving my lifestyle you know I'm very fucking kiss. I say You know, I thought that about you but But I Gotta be honest with you. I Gotta go down and do some comedy and we'll see Theo Musi Duncan and do some comedy. I'm gonna see Theo. I'm gonna see Duncan.
Starting point is 01:08:08 I'm gonna do Theo's podcast. I'm gonna eat some tacos, some barbecue. Nice. Light exercise, gonna be heavy humidity. I'll go to the gym, ride the bike, lift some life weights, get some good sleep sleep and I'm back here for Labor Day That's I look at it as a comedy camp It was so cool. Yeah, I got 14. I counted them. I got 14 ideas For jokes, yeah
Starting point is 01:08:41 And it's so cool like it's great that it's so convenient and there's so many clubs like even I went to Red Vans Club And that was awesome. That was really cool. The staff at Red Vans is phenomenal. It's a sunset. Oh The Sun yeah, that's the sunset. I believe it's a sunset room sunset room He's great to staff the manager the females great the head of security is fucking great. They got tacos there for us That's a great late-night room on Thursday night. I think He has it on Thursday night, but he is he has shows every night There's burlesque there. They spin around the pole and some guy plays the violin And they're very games and I know you'd love that. What what's that they have video games in the green room, too
Starting point is 01:09:26 All right, so I did you have a good time you put a little hat with the umbrella in it Fucking zip around the room. I wasn't there for long enough, but it was awesome like I told you Lee I Didn't give up on being a I gave up being a touring comic, but I had to figure it out. It took me a while to figure out what I liked about it. And I'm doing everything I like about it now. That's awesome. This is the same process as before. Driving, smoking dope, the thing that's helping me
Starting point is 01:10:02 now at this age is that I finally lead After all the years after you know me, I'm writing shit down Well, what are you writing down that you weren't writing down before Everything that you were writing down everything before thousand thoughts. I would go through you in a day that we made nothing of those jokes Oh, yeah, okay a Stenographer in the fucking room. All right, the court guy just taping everything every little thing and going you said this today This is what goes on the next fucking 30 minutes, right? I gave all that shit away years ago. I was too high Think about it. Yeah, I'm sure.
Starting point is 01:10:45 This material we came off of off the hip by doing the podcast, like I said to you, once you're in the cycle of comedy writing, that's the best cycle to get into. It's just figuring out your limitations, getting enough sets during the week to give you a reason. You know, that's
Starting point is 01:11:12 why I like that Tuesday set. Right. You've been sitting on your ass all day Sunday watching football. Maybe you were too tired to go out Sunday night. You're on the road. All day Sunday, you've been thinking about that retarded cousin that came over and kept fucking Spilling the chips And then you know, you're writing all these little it doesn't mean for a guy like me
Starting point is 01:11:32 I'm gonna lose and this is great advice for young comedians because you have to figure out what works for you If you're gonna sit there with a pen licking it It's not gonna work for you. I mean, I don't know if he's doing anymore. Gary Goldman, I remember when he was doing the writing tips on Twitter during the pandemic. I do remember that. Wrote the special, he had some great stuff on there.
Starting point is 01:12:00 I'm gonna have to look for those. Don't, I fucking, you know, who am I? I would look at his stuff and One thing I learned during the pandemic. I remember well during the pandemic. I was fucked up But one day I remember is I couldn't write for long periods of time What would happen my back hurts I get bored I start thinking of you know, you're smoking dope So one minute you're thinking about fucking a joke and next minute you think about Jupiter You know, you're smoking dope. So one minute you're thinking about fucking a joke, the next minute you're thinking about Jupiter. And you know, Venus and the tunnel of love.
Starting point is 01:12:29 I don't fucking know, but this is better for me. I get it. Last night I was at a kid's birthday party and I got there and I saw a woman come in. Lee, there was some 20 people in the room. She gave out three hugs and went right to the fucking table. Okay. And I mean, she was eating everything.
Starting point is 01:12:55 There was 20 dishes on the table. This woman was fucking eating everything. Nice. She didn't stop for about 18 minutes from one end to the other one. I'm like looking at her, not judging her, but going this woman, she's eating like she just left the Weight Watchers meeting.
Starting point is 01:13:15 So I wrote that down. That's funny. Cause after the weigh-in on a Sunday, you run out of there. Me and Rick Rayden was to go to write the internet For your cheat meal. Yeah for our cheat meal, but it was a cheat me It was a single we split an order of fries and we drinking tight soda. I Mean we really stuck to it but bought dog from weight watches to in and out we would do like it'd be like three minutes. I Do like fucking 90 miles an hour.
Starting point is 01:13:46 Oh, of course. I was cutting people off, jumping over cars, you know. So it's funny. Like, she was running out of there. Like, she just left the weight watch. She's mean. And every time I see it, she's a fucking savage. Like, when desserts come, she'll eat everything
Starting point is 01:14:03 on that one piece of everything. While she of everything while she's eating the other one It's fucking interesting to see now, you know, I go to the gym Because that's what will happen in Jersey dog. You get big. Oh Oh, yeah, there's every time I come there It's like they you take me all have been meaning to take you here for three years and it's like the best place I've ever been That's a hot dog place I've ever been That's a hot dog place. No, I was thinking about those hot dogs today People say to me how you don't go up my friend of mine keeps calling me. What do we go? I don't want to go lunch. I

So that's why we go down there and we say hello So I go down there with my brother is fucking great But yeah, this is awesome. You know, there would be an aspect of comedy. I would fall in love it. I Know I can't write for people
Starting point is 01:17:02 Right can't punch up even though I'd be one of the best punch-up guys You ever had on your set? It's a waste of time. Why somebody never had me in punch-up And what is that? Punch-up is when you give me a script and I punch it up like make it funny I'd rather do this put me on the set when you shoot I'll punch that motherfucker up right there when I get the full patois What's on what shirt he's wearing? What had he's wearing? That's when we get the full patois, what's on, what shirt he's wearing, what hat he's wearing, that's when we get the full patois on a script, I can't really see it, you know?
Starting point is 01:17:32 That's interesting. Yeah, but my favorite aspect of comedy, was in the beginning it was going on the road. It's awesome. And it was really great because I got to live my life for the first time my life. I got to live my addiction out with nobody overlooking my shoulder, but myself.
Starting point is 01:17:59 I bumped into all that crazy sexual stuff. I wanted to like, you know, every once in a while in the town something got ugly. You bumped into it. Oh my goodness. You know, and I live like a nomad and that's fun for a while. And then I thought I was gonna do that forever, but I ended up in LA and Seattle, things got serious
Starting point is 01:18:21 and here we are. But today that's what I miss the most. Is the writing and going up. The writing and going up. Tuesday, Thursday, I'm good. Now I got something to write for all weekend. And whenever I put up Tuesday, it don't work, I try Thursday. And it gets refined again and
