Ninety and someone food tweets, said dad's got Mr Birch a minute, I didn't see it, but MAX apparent dutifully went unfounded then we're trying to Kenneth figure out. Is it Mr Birch M? Is it of realise a lot of these old clip from the radio. Our compressed, weird and voice sounds higher sittin in surely sounds to me, like Mr Bertram, but then said lightning The engineer- and it was a k rock and it was day time and you could see out the window of the old Karen vaults building. We used to call it

in Burbank. So then I thought well now must be birch em. It's daytime morning time and I think I've I've solve the the riddle, because I did Bertram with cabin and being met. This wasn't with cabin and being, but I think I figure out several play. You guys the lab and down- and I think I'll kill outlined here, I want to point out that we got poverty. Brewster, she's, gonna, disgust, newly her files without all the heroine of using private or five one. so now the help that was Mr Birch M doing. That is morning time birch. shall, I believe, It was sad or days on K Rock. I believe started it eight or nine,

I believe it was like a two hour show and it was like eight to ten nine eleven on key Iraq, Saturday Mornings- and I have no idea how long I did that show. I think what happened maybe so lay moon, fry Pompey Brewster was gonna, be the gas She was going to be the guest on Mr Burke, home improvement, improvement no idea how that work, but lightning was J. Tell us. Was Workin the board, so he must have agreed to come in on Saturday mornings and do the board for me. I was doing a Mr Birch em I remember I was living in apartment into look alike and that nerve because it was like this was my first radio show I his Allah yeah. I've been doing these spots on Kevin being working up there, that the care

Your got popular enough that they thought well give us Saturday morning, home improvement show and lightning was workin, the board's who was not, Producers of Kevin being at that point, I think, I'll, just be go, get it guy. I think Frank Murphy, was maybe even Jimmy. I don't. I don't know I think Jimmy produced for a couple. Years and then that was the show that doctor drew used to listen to pretty religiously when he would go on. Is jobs, on a Saturday morning with it walk man, radio or something? And that's about the time the way I got from that job too hosting love line was they then went to drew and they said dab? Who would you?

the host love line with you, and he was like the Mr Bertram guys funny. I don't know who the guy is. I don't know his name. I didn't over it's an act the Bertram guy is a funny guy, well so. You can go back and tell himself on the shoulder now we're gonna course Ricky. Rather poor areas demand or man had probably been gone for three years. At that point and Ricky rack when from head bangers ball had had taken over it's kind of an interesting, it's kind of listing thing. I guess, if you look at my trajectory NEA Look at Ricky. Ragman trajectory is well, which is I was a carpenter who got a job at a boxing place using his carpentry to. Let me try to teach boxing who then parley the boxing thing into

in Jimmy who parlay meeting Jimmy into sort of getting on with Mr Bertram on K Rock within one from Bertram on K. Rock do doing Bertram on a Saturday morning show which then led to drew hearing it and then which led to love line the tv show, I think, on MTV, first weirdly and then that gave way to love line the syndicated Shell Ricky ran men. Wasn't a radio guy and he have a big broadcasting history Ricky men ran what was his lab. He had a clue, in west outlay, before my eyes on now, and it was all the God. It's Rodney of Ronnie on the rock had a club, the brutal

New England, nurse and renewing the new, whatever he House CAT House, Ricky ran firewall, was hit had house in the a boy laid eighties early nineties, an Ricky I'm sure screwing up this story by he even with all the guns and roses and all the different rock eyes and staff who would play cat house? So then, I think Ricky's thing with MTV was, I may not be a v Jane. I may not have a bunch of wraps hosting a show or radio or anything by it, you give me a show. I will get Axel rose in here because I know acts all right after I we're gonna rolodex. I will I gotta Rolodex with all these different

sort of hair bands from that from the Eightys and Ninetys and I will get them and I will in our view these guys and then you will have a show called head, bangers ball and then PAR laid the MTV stuff into the k rocks often the lovelorn honestly yeah by their they're. Both good stories of I may I'd be the person you think you want, but I do have these other connections have anything else to offer. Have another scale have something else to offer. And you should take a chance on me because I will then bring these other things in that you one, which is a good move. people don't want no sperience. Nino meets never done this before, but if you there start laying out other stuff that you do like another skill set, I hears what I could do they will take.

A chance on you, because at that point there not taking a chance because they get to get actual rose on their network or in this particular case for me, Bruce gets too Heavy bags hung in a swede. Bags hung in its Jim built out, and then there are much more willing to take a chance gets to put some shelving units put in Being I the beans house and built while I built there, a cd rack that help ten thousand I'll see these, even though the have good news about CD, is their small fish, compare, no, what we used to deal with and I remember just building these racks, it went like floor to ceiling all the way down one wall and all the way down the other. being had is like being like two thousand Christmas cities to put in their eyes,

a theme, the I don't know it's kind of kind of weird. I guess we could all say here's what like I, like cars in, Jeanne Alikes, cooking Brian likes his wife's pay check in a we all have our Hobbes right they re enjoy tardy our passions ripe, and why, the Hudson Thousand cities is a little different. Then I like cooking or I like cars. I feel like there's something more to that, but anyway according to the Alley weekly as article Roma for or so years ago. The venue initially opened on September twenty third, eighty six, and there was a quarter of lost Canada and send the centre which is founded on the fringe of Hollywood, their wow yeah, that's a weird place for it to be. I looked, and I thought it was like Highland MEL rose, but maybe there's two spots, the media moved programme

it's right there on the scene as is happening there so yeah I don't know, look every color they are going to fail. I mean club Just daydream through yeah gonna fail, but you'll get a couple of old Yours, if you standing, there were David Bowie with crazy hair or Axel rose or whoever wherever came there club. I was thinking with that. Me being in homer, was the king of the sunset Strip was added. My main man was one of the fantastic documentary, fantastic documentary because it had all the the pathos and all the stuff all the highs and lows and bent down here. Rodney had that club and he had like David Bowe. In Mick Jagger and all that it's kind of It's kind of interesting that Nets a rich man, poor man, thing which is its point, whether Europe,

maybe in our music ass. When you get big enough, You just play stew, the items in little minute: you're fucked up clubs, no guy! gone are the days with the twelve hundred, see theatres right away and then are no Pacific art centre. On an unlucky at the CAT House, Hollywood website, and literally I had just read the lion, wrote apparently does roses played these seven. Person club the night before they played the hunter of two thousand people. The Colosseum real why they re the lie literally just read the wire right hell yeah, it's the medium, it's the middle that always takes the beating. It's nice You know, I don't know it's like the fight star, Michelin raided thing, and then the cool trendy talk out her out that saying to get all the love at the Inn between us. Don't really work, whereas a society. Where does not really interested in the mental weed? now in a like nanos time for sea became right. We got, we got

The story and the story is playing the mega dome or playing the Hong Kong, but dad either way. Ricky went Dad and then Ricky did love line, and then I did love line with Ricky and that was uncomfortable for like a long time is really only like three months and then Ricky moved on and then it was just me and drew, but the old guard, I think, kind of like Ricky at that. YO also, as I've said, it's kind of interesting everyone loved poor man and then poor man laughed and then everyone everyone didn't want any replace poor man and then Ricky came in and then everyone hated on Ricky and then they got used to Ricky and then Ricky laughed and everyone hated on me zealots. It's kind of a coup now tat it's all about Amelia Circle,

yeah good start, then you know how to do things that reminds me of his a when I think of poor man. All I think of our like late night, like in paid, gaming commercials or he's on the beach with like bikini cod. You know just dead, chicks, runnin around Venice Beach. Remember that, like bees play their infomercial tyrant, I'm gonna run wild. Let go, I guess, I envy second adders, and yet you do that You could buy. Your own airtime like in the middle of the night, arises think tat, to play, and when you talk about Rick, he was this before or after he, punched Steckler Oh, I forgot was that the other way around now, I'm confusing, maybe I'm getting old, I'm confusing myself Steckler Doug Steckler was with team. Conway Junior for all those years. I used always when and do their show on the way into doing love line there right they were problem,

Leon from seven to ten or suchlike. Danny I was alive and I thank our aid to eight to eleven. I used to build a drop by aid. fifteen and sit in for an hour, and then I have to get up and hustler out to love line, but it was set up sir, on the way Koreatown Wilshire and then, is heading two Culver City, but it was kind of leaving. when hills, but then Steckler, who was not a young man at the time dogs tackled and a comedian, our a sad, a writer, a rider Saturday humorist yeah. He was for Essie TV. That kind of thing yeah. He was, he was kind of tat A will Rogers. He wasn't really stand, but wasn't really pure rider, but could deliver the star, but what sort of a satirist he walked out of the studio and got called cock by Rick

rack. When because I think that, but a careless acts yet did I think, I think, What happened was after Ricky left love line. He got snatched up by careless acts. And I had doing the show, maybe after Conway Inspector on careless and they were making fun of ham, and he came outer. He came in and punched him in the face. There's a lot of that kind of stuff is wasn't like that. I got an era. I remember when Burger man choke Jimmy virtual. About his penis enlargement on the air, Merwin David, our catch Yoda my studio when I was calling him Nazi another thing about. If you're doing a signal, Lamar Burton calling me once it my gas, because I was I did. I

movie men. Men don't want to see in love. Our burden was one of the characters that was in it with Dick Van nor something MAX battle. might be older, fine move. These men don't wanna, see it was a man show bad yeah. I think we're having with pointless I use the right course a few of them, and this is one about a gay couple on the frontier, for some reason. I had Laval burden in there and of our Burton called my desk and want to know why I was in there, and I said I don't know him. Finally, I think it thought queues at home are being gay, which I kind of was, but only in the context of this movie that nobody wanted to see. But there were actors playing front, frontier gay couple but is of our burden. Gay, I don't know, maybe which prevent now. If you much or nobody knows you got, the jump on back now and then

Jeanne, I'm glad you brought that up, because this would have been sorted out alluded to ever have inserted two thousand. I never thought of it, but yeah there was a. There was a Brokeback mountain kind of their broke while overtones. Ok, gear that do you know Brian IRAN. Iraq was out of four owed three. I think this was frontier dad's, maybe maybe did Van Patten was the dick. Never called he didn't want to know what is going on, but what I'm saying is- is one of our burden called me at my desk and my and show Office so it's funny, I got like the college will of our burdens online threeam like how do you not to overburden? I don't know, it was of her pertinent seems like enough. Look, ok It was too late. We ve already done the bet you don't say

in radio, you could talk about stuff. it would just go out in real time. So when bugger man was driving is ran around any her Jimmy Talk and she had outgrown taken twenty minutes to turn a van around and get up to the nine floor, the adults building but Jimmy who's gonna be there when he got there and you know instead, Where was making fun of Ricky rack men outside the door, the right the same building in my mind- and I see lay times archived article fourteen September eleven. Ninety ninety seven Caille assets I'll talk to host over office scuffle. Yeah I read them were faces. It is to be free of charge for allegedly pondering station colleague, Doug Steckler, the office, Monday, etc, etc. Nice and that's ninety seven last September

Amazon Ride, so he must that must have been not too long after he left. He laughed because I took over ninety six or something like that it wasn't a scaffold more likely ever see the footage of what happens to the poor, Asians and San Francisco in their walking down the street. Little more that probably in the limelight at little from little more one sided yeah And the Berger Man thing he didn't punch Jimmy he was choking, am against a wall of Frank Murphy's office. By the way I know it's not thirdly, the same, but you gotta get invited for lack of better way to put it to Poohpooh City on the air. yeah Fletcher from penny wise, lock this in them like this in the studio, had them five Six members of the police of the we're city policeman. There. That kind of new us. I think they showed up

wasn't much they could do. They were lock on our doing that point and Oliver City at that time a night there was nothing to do with Culver City in that time, and I knew it. I knew well because every once in a while when I walked out the parking lot at twelve o five and it was climbing into might be Ambien three. There be a squad car sitting there, half an hour, and the guys we like you want to go with me. He asked and we pull Two like Washington or Culver Boulevard around. We just sit at the red light and when it turned green, we ve fuckin drag race. All way down these empty streets and I always remember the guy soon? Is we got to next, whatever light he throw honest rollers and keep falling down the street because it would look like he was doing something rather than drag grace. I may, in the middle the fuckin night in conversation,

for regional as idea area valet, that is impossible to imagine now covers Teddy S, transition into this little Hollywood, because just crazy for traffic everywhere terrain life right, but back then it was a dead zone. In the middle, the middle of the night. I'm trying to think can we never find that man show bed. I'm sums from you done it a couple of times. I now I think it's called frontier dad's when it was called while he looks for that spirit of a couple of times David. Our cat crashed love line, and the morning shall, I am still waiting for the trifecta of the podcast jar cat like walked into the more unusual right right, unannounced, like the gas visions. Fuckin walked into the building. Our cat is heavily featured in kid ninety here yeah there, the are kept

story for love line, as he was driving being driven by think home from a Lakers game, which is was at the forum. Probably the time taken that ten free. Way, which is kind of going past the studio and right the time when it made sense proud about ten. Thirty at night, Lakers Game was done. heading back to Malibu living with Courtney, cock there's something in Malibu at the time- and I have just talking. Erle single love line back whenever one just listen to one thing, however, is oats ten o clock, listen eleventh and I'm telling you how insane he was and how Nazi, as it then drew said, aren't you weren't he's got a fucking job. The studio kick your ass and, as I keep to knots, isn't there the studio scientists insane. He can't find the studio then like drifting,

Slayer just came walking through the door and I don't mean the main door. I mean into the studio It was a weird aimed thing in the morning. Shadow was amazing that bloom and high the second time cool about it was not only on the lease on the morning, so what he was not but had the navigation of salmon, he could find his spawning around. You know me. I like, like there was a part of his brain that didn't process a lot of things, but but another part there was dead, that's on in the Directions Department, or do we have well. Maybe it is brought back mountain precursor. Let's they an inspiring struggle for pride and survival in the old West, Dick Van Patten level.

Burden experienced, first hand, trials and tribulations of interracial gay adoption in the eighteen year, dance and each other ass. They do. I would rather take a bus, Bala Hairdressers, Disease Snoopy ice than go to this historic next from the makers of force, gum and IRAN. tale of one man's fight against fate. Robbie Benson, plays a we refer whose world comes a part after stricken carpal tunnel syndrome. Man broken quell one of my father s times are: the manager was exceeding around trying to come out. Robbie Benson Carpal tunnel was calligraphy yeah. So anyway, that's what that's. What are the call for a mile of our life?

The other thing is during Corolla classics, we're playing Albert Brock's or MAX a pan and GEO was from two thousand and eleven when I went to his office and then after that, we're playing jet appetite they both had We need things to say about the future and I'll play. Thou Brooks clap. This is from two thousand and eleven this from ten years ago. It's kind of interesting because he was talking about the book. Two thousand thirty one. So we say had some ideas about what the future may bring, but that this was his take on that future of entertainment from two thousand and eleven, if I could stay home. I would stay home all performed by the way you look at your beer heading towards the direction yet so here

Look what you re going to do! This is almost staying. Only only drove two mile yet know that step. My whole plan was the sort of staff absolutely and I think I think that's a big future of show business I am amazed at how goods I was getting, and I dont know why you or me or any one the people would be interested in can't just have a cup. Coffee and put on a nice shirt turn on the Skype and have a show. I grew up. This kind of what you see when they are. When you turn on the tv now, ten years later here, we are kind of wondering how much of its gonna go back. I haven't you say the occasional technical glad she hasn't really bump anybody, nor all to sound Brady bunched up in those box and Van? There was a jet add how the art is to pick it up. Your point, the only thing that you really I really

ass. When I will not even message notice when I watch like in the tv, like you said, the boxes or live sport is the ADI scenario the applause, though your guy from breaking of that kind of stuff like that. That feels owns a necessary, but it feels like the missing man. I agree, but it wont like its missing to any young person, doesn't message but the up and who grew up with this. then there's just appetite in two thousand and fifteen talkin about doktor sues. Oh we're Lindbergh was crazy. Anti Semites were World Daddy Walt Disney. We were all drive and afford overlord drive and afford. Over there I mean yeah means a doctor suits you see to it that this terrible doctors is drugs or the beginning of his career, proudly wrote jewel. Really racist caricature of jet, what these people with african Americans, their auctioning went off that is so anus. I can

and say what it is. Really Now, though, my pick my curiosity, sir, he said about six years ago. He now I'll tear the guys like you tat, probably are onto what's offensive before its offensive to the rest of us. Yet, as you know, an end speaking, there was this I some show and on serious I care about how many station it was on, but I wish I the person credit, but it was the almost like a radio documentary about contacts and they had a great about jet appetite Meeting Steve Martin before jet appetite was famous when you still teenager and enough, he told you that story or not, but rumours and the key to God. It was hysterical. Had he ain't, always the biggest Martin Faint on the planet and everything he ate slept and breathes Steve Martin. He finally

to meet Emily Ass, Rosato graph, and I guess Steve just wasn't really in the mood that day in kind like brushed him off and so avatar, wrote to him apparently and said, if you don't send me grab I'm gonna tell every you know too boss around Hollywood, exactly where your house is- and I know you don't want me to do that so Steve Martin sought apparently and send it out again back in river. This is when jobs as a kid. Nobody knows we have new teenager and it right. He wrote back. Excuse me policies. I didn't know you were the job appetite: Letter to Hamburg, Steve Martin of our Europe famous, absolutely that would be out of breath Emma or no mail. This kid, like probably let's say late eighties, he would male letters, I'm every one framed on as well as an adult. He mailed wonder: Johnny Carson male dollars or celebrities, unity is Freethinker and any dead, like hey

if you sign below, if I'm your best friend ten set back like side of re better from Johnny, are framed letter from Johnny Carson that he wrote and Johnny Cars signed. This is like this guy business out of additives. My best friend Johnny, Carson I got one of those when I was with the Acme theatre, somebody from Jamaica Queen, I sent a letter to back me theatre because we were featured her. I was each year it or something and like allay weak. The allay weekly in this guy would find all that stuff and get the autographs of people who nobody's I mean. Obviously I was a no body back then I was asked me no one at all the mayor anything and it was like a pre emptive right that it was investing in up and come remarked. Yeah, I dont mean I don't know this person was when I found out later. They he got several at all, came from Jamaica, Queen

I remember why, remembering that and would probably get all the l, papers and drama logs and varieties and staff it if somebody was features some young up and coming something he would get their autograph other. No, I didn't sign a bottle of angry and send it out of your mind. You didn't have to do a pre. Emptive strike I peed homes. One of our favorites is ready. We'll talk him. A second quick break right back with PETE Homes right after this

The atom guerrillas YO presents PETE Homes, Birthday Party, a party for March thirty, let's use on the guest list, the seventeenth century, inventor of farm indolence and the name shaggy, the greatest bandwidth, Flewed Jethro tell the guy, who invented the funds and bird robber bonds. Vincent Van Gogh was here please linear american blues musician, Sonny Boy Williamson, Welcome Warren B and C hammer Celine D on AIRS, Morgan, Laura Jones, the intervals Richard german slow hand, Eric laughed in feed alms is on the atom Khrushchev. Yap eat holds good friend, just a list of better guests have Clapton. We could have thought now. Aura Jones

Yeah right, we pick PETE homes at all. The birthdays works is the only one available. The only March thirty available. I apologize pod gas you weird with paid homes available, an apple pie, gas and Spotify as well, and, of course, the crater starve. One of my favorite shows from HBO crap. king. She is, I always talked about it because I am very sad that that show went away. I know it's been a couple years now, but I didn't. I never know, and I guess I ask you this every time. Is there a reason why show like that goes away or is that the life span of the show two seasons are three seasons I mean it sounds like I'm dodging it like. I want to be like its money, but that's all excuse it was an expensive show. We shot on film, our producer and director for lot episodes was jet appetite

saying he like, insisted on a huge free, but he gets a big v and film is very expensive and shooting in New York is expensive. So when you have a show that is watched by like a lot of really cool people like you watch and a lot of showbiz people like it, alot of critics like did, but it wasn't never crossed over, like my mom is friends don't want you know I'm saying I could never have that like Mass appeal, if you dont, know mass appeal and again, I dont want to sound like I'm trying to make excuses fewer people, watch it, and then they just can't justify it. To that, that's what they had of HBO told me frankly, I believe them I was. I get everybody's Poland in more money than they're making the and but I guess philosophical e it's best to do a short run. How you wanted to do it shot on film? The luck at the look with great shot New York was great it was such a well produced and direct in hand. Written show

PETE homes was really good, is acting in it than that. have the version of it that you one and then what's the difference between twenty two of those in a hundred and twenty two in the version that you didn't like right. That's right! I think the answer is like fifty million dollars, but me you're here absolutely right and do it again again. I'm not saying this, but one of the things I am so proud of about the show is that it was reflective of what is really like to be a comedian meaning. goals are small. I didn't want to have a show. Where was like, I want to be on the tonight Joe, I wanna be Ancona. Like you, don't You do that until you ve done it for ten years and my characters three year mark, so they this goal. He starts the series wine to be a comedian. He ends the series he's a comedian, that's the achievement and Had we done a season for again, I guess I'm worried the sounds like an bullshitting

we have done a season, for we would have had done something splash ii we resort. out of ideas, so it would have been like mine. If I would have gotten a talk, show from going into something like that and that's where we have lost, nineteen percent of our people of comedians would no longer relate so I'm kind of proud that it was three seasons, because that is experience of many musician. My man Maybe it would have attracted your MA my friends who are neither those finicky comedians they come and go in their small, the in number, but your minds. Friends, that's half jam all out of variety down. That's my problem is, I was making a show that other comedians would enjoy. I know there's millions of us, but not enough to float our budget well. Here is an interesting philosophical thing. Remind me of it when you are talking about making it so to speak, its

it's so interesting and PETE. All all look first story from you and gene and brine may have aversion themselves when you're coming up your it. It's this Duff, that small seems really big at the time and like, as I think about it, I definitely told more people when I got a job teaching comedy, try fix school at. Let us amuse you. Traffic schools bowed like ahead of ladders, not one body but it's it's very vague and only the aliens I like, I was probably prove more excited about not working as a carpenter, but working as a comedy traffic and straw, Therefore, eighty nine dollars a class then when I got on the latter men for the first time, I'm sure I told less people about being on Letterman than I did working

or let us a museum, the biggest break and the best part. Of being a Canadian and the biggest break is when you lose your straight job diaspora. it doesn't get any better than them and then people can in my family that I dont tell them about things I'm doing in step. But at a certain point you just like here I'm doing stuff, but like the big, the big announcement was, I get the fuck I'm a guy like that was a really big deal. that was actually this way. That came to mind was one I was so lucky when I started my stand of career. When people ask me to open for them or women, ups asked me to open for them. It was the first it was Jim gaff again and it was a new year's Eve weekend at the Cleveland, Improv and I had to I thought I was gonna get fired. I had to tell begins because you had to work. like three out of the four holidays, Christmas Thanksgiving Christmas Eve, New Year's new, whatever had to work three out of those and I

to tell them that I wasn't available on New year's cause. I was opening for Jim gaff again, who believe me We are not at the time nobody knew. Jim garrison was but idea, and it was a huge fan of his, and I thought I was going fired. And I went saw the Lord of the rings. The two towers I still have the ticket stab because whole movie, all the works. Just presented. My in, like they record you're gonna lose your job you're, making like a hundred dollars to open virgin Gavin, throwing away your family stability or ending at all. So the eye of sorrow was the eye and then again it was going to eat my soul. I doing that we can. They didn't fire me, which was grave I also remember dude being so nervous before those shows at wake at seven, a m terrified with seven p m and that late like you're living in this, like incredible. Heightened state of creased anxiety in and fear and then

weekend was fine, Jim liked me. I didn't kill but Jim like me, and then we have to stay in touch and then Second time I open for somebody with Bill bird. I had the best luck when it and they get Bilbil was Billy bar nobody, people didn't know who Belburg was, and I was out for him forging these relationships and it and images incredible incredible luck, but going straight, nothing now better than losing your straight job. I mean yeah that that was the big significance. For me I was a carpenter d, the week still, but I taught the weekend classes at the lettuce amuse you in just the fact that I was getting paid not to do something I formally did you now when you work it Ben again, sir, you we were carpentry, you get paid to pass. Dish is a refill, so enough, soda, soda, jerk or whatever the hell, you're doing swing the hammer. The idea that you can.

stand and get paid and talk in pay. That was a revelation it was it was the best, and you know I did both for a long time to I was dropping country chicken salad on people's lapse. On Monday and Tuesday, I could work the lunch shift because it was in the loop. It was downtown Chicago right by the ART institute. It's a dreams now but I remember they in Chicago they had some. They had a new network. I don't know how many in your Greer Adam you ve seen where their launching some new network- and this was called stand up, pay tv are, they called it see tv, and I was like Effie TV has taken. A very famous thing about was a huge red flag that it was also called essay tv friend, Emily Teresa's, they got her involved in booking it and they booked me. and then they made this real. It was like me and Dave coolly, I remember, but they used a big portion of my bed in the real. So they asked me to come by their office and I remember

the ceo of this now defunct network. That never was a thing. But he was like. So what do you do that was like I did Only that I didn't know any show business. I was I well I'm a waiter work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Then I do every once in a while. I go out for a weakened and he full leaped out. I wasn't there buddy, My friend Emily was also comedian. I hear him yelling at her through the wall like this, guys, I wonder you brought me waiters and I was like what do you think some pirates, also picked up a few shifts when they weren't on the seven seas. You notably that's a good point. This can't be new there, We guys out who were here right. Like pirates, annex B, swashbuckling, all the time scale failures, bagged, groceries violently off, the weather's bad.

Organizing a shop hang in our port of call for awhile, and you need some walkin around money. You need some yeah yeah, that's it, but he People did not understand that and then Emily very sweetly was like when you're here just lie like that. Was sort of my first showbiz lesson, I suppose was when you're here just tell everybody Eric. If I kept up like my friend John RE, used to have a joke about no wrappers rap about like before they were rich. You have just pretend you're rich on your first album, even though you're not a great, but that was it so funny because Let us amuse you had the exact same lying. To that its policy- and here I remember you guys, like hat, perhaps in this sort of lucid thoughts in the insane thing that you call your former life you now and

I was sitting there in the lettuce amuse you headquarters in Burbank with all the other struggling comedian actor House, Who were the teachers in now and the head instructor guy was like luck people go to Sears for nineteen dollars, they can do the Sears Traffic School for nineteen dollars. Let us amuse you charges twenty nine dollars, so they're paying a premium not paying a premium for struggling comics established should go ahead, storage each class by building yourself up. You know Lay out your Reza may and don't be scared to embellish it's the same with life. Coaches, life coaches can't be like. This is my first. We honestly, you gotta believe, and they have to. I always remember. I was sitting in the class and I used to teach

Sunday mornings at like eight a m and it be like a. Why am I see a and connect HO or Whittier narrows or they're, always out of town cause? I was the new guy, so I had to derive right, so I remember things: being there in oh Adam, holiday in seven forty five Sunday morning and I got a clip on tie on should I say I just open for ROD Stuart, should I should shall I just got off the road with the rolling stones at what storing hell. I just sold out the improv three nights like. Why would I be in can a whole etc to forty five on a Sunday morning, just laying cones com is. This area was going well. Yeah, why I be here, that's right.

I remember when I left bet against the manager said to me is name- was rob the general manager of one of the most popular ban against in the company's history. So he was, he was a big. He was a big deal and I told them I was leaving and he just with a very with dead eyes. You discuss new Yorker allay he didn't even know. I was a comedian, just everybody there trying to do something. was trying to do something in show business most likely. Well, that's That's another interesting subject, which is, if you work at a ban against you trying to have occurred earn something other than working pannikins end. If you work it, Let us amuse you comedy traffic school you're trying to do something, show showbiz stand up or ride or something communique, but if you have a job, carpenter

guys weren't trying to do anything other than give further divorce and keep their chance, and that was about us there's things like I gotta get through this fuckin divorce. He, finally, that ski, like that, no one, it's interesting jobs like carpentry. The only movement is like. I got the Ford F one. Fifty I'm gonna get the F too de with the crew cab next year with just a different, version of what they were doing, but nobody shed. I've got a dance. something about the rhythm of these ambering nails. I just gotta move Twenty there's! No, let us amuse you track comedy traffic school lifers no Like this amen, but some people do want to just Matt waiter life, because it has it's sort of like being a comedian. You work weird hours, there's a lot of drinking coffee tips. exactly it always end to your team,

at the end of the day and is trying at the lowest number you could have when working on an average just thinking there non Road Dale. I knew many career retailers and they drew what at our cars that I've ever driven and they looked the part and it just I didn't get it, but I respected it yeah. Maybe if you're twenty eight in your work it back again in your talking about making a career being a waiter we should take you to move so frank or we should you too do pars, like scares jittery type field trip like how Bernice eighty three years younger, aren't tell this person why you don't want to argue with people over Pie, We must join your grandchildren. Goes the Christmas huge right. Like just say this is gonna, be you're. Gonna have a huge broach

honourable die job ass, terrible, die job, you're, gonna, run it you're, gonna, call people Han and obviously around a day yeah and you all know. I that's weird brag its normal. The call people home because they ve been in the restaurant, where you're real waiter man again I was, and they called me moose, because I'm enormous I was a good way to sort out a weird trajectory add Ben again. My foot month there I was the employee the month, because I was so happy to have a job, he's gonna marry. This is my first marriage. When I was twenty two I moved to Chicago nine eleven. It just happened so like there was hard to get a job for a beat there. And then I got lucky and got this job bet against, and I was so happy to be there it's but you were that way. Do out like I was a guy had a really good work at that and nobody else seemed to give agenda, but my first

and I was employed. A month and everybody loves moose, but by the end I was really funding it s, because I saw how little effort you really had to give it abusing the queue upon system and running different scams. Everybody was gammon. time, there was a promotion in the in the sun times or something the waiters we're all making a hustle offer that, and we that did you do hustles right, there's nothing about a little low level, scam at a job like that, like my first hours ago, grocery store bagger and, like you, pay like you, get this sort of pride in like oh, I do this one thing really. Well, I back groceries well scam that we had what I mean it was or was like. It is like. Oh, this bag of chips just broke open dialogue, because someone's gotta either get thrown away. Those, unlike all the box, how to cut this box. Crackers Argos got it We had that would order ourselves birthday pie because you could order the brownie bottom Sunday for free and we also

favorite scam was when the Chicago Marathon was happening. If you got that terrible shift, which was seven I am on the morning of the marathon. Everybody can in the bedding and just to get a coffee and you keep, this is This is crooked, about proud of it. For you, one receipt for a coffee. That said, like coffee was three dollars or something, and then you just show that everybody, everybody is giving you five dollars cash and but attitude, wasn't just be like a snake vp. The dude was like fuck you for making me work the this one's eating I'm getting no tables everyone just coming in and taking crowded in your power to flesh, and you make one fifteen looks like it, Sir Legged still even doing a crooked you'd still make like thirty forty dollars a shift. Something had to give no wonder. I was happy to rate to m C and make two dollars a night. I mean that was an improvement. there was no scam in the lettuce amuse. You comedy trap.

Why what the scam Dolly scam was, is, anyone who showed up just one of you to sign a certificate and hand it to em, so they could take it to the court house there they want to be there eight hours and I didn't want to be there eight hours either. So There was a scam at the beginning. Were everyone just come an average sign, everything handed back and just everyone leaves and again it's like they like ripping. off a drug dealer. You think they're gonna go the cops like yeah. That was the revelation, was realizing. The managers didn't give a shit either, like you think. Your manager waste twenty five years ago, guy I mean I'd, love to know how much of the corporate inference sure of tv Fridays is allotted to just like theirs. be some shenanigans, because there scams that I wasn't doing, but people would delete whole bills and step you get staff target

I'm and sometimes a nice manager would delete stuff. Their bill, so you at least made a little bit of money. I still remember trainer members name he's not Matt Mary was my manager cited Gina Mary was my manager, what I for that New year's eve off, and I thanked him on my first record, which I he has no idea, but I thought it was. I was so grateful that here fire, because if he said, if you do that, gig I'm going to fire, you, I probably wouldn't have done the gig. Jim and ended up working with me. I'm so is a big deal at bear again, Sir Darras Jim doing that bad again, ok, ok, can't even get in touch. I miss that kid. There was so nervous to just go I'm sorry. I need New year's Eve off like what they have a thousand waiters. It's not a big deal like people were

call, no showing all the time- and I was just asking for an extra day- are who gives a shit, but I really thought it mattered. I didn't want to be a bad kid Gina I want to know if you ever pulled this p, though I know you're a very nice guy and you would never have done this, but a little Pierre say because I have friends who were waiters in allay and that's why I always take receipt with me when I leave a restaurant, the Oda by IRAN's, who didn't think that you tipped enough would take me the other Maria and cause receipt. double in a new tab there. What are they going to do? I still do that. That is a good tat genome. Fortunately, I never did that, but you could think of somebody's getting their credit card bill. Are they gonna remember that it was twenty three Georgia, twenty eight dollars- and I remember some people. If you don't leave their receive like you, should take a copy of the receipt rightly want to prove that they are. thing with a double grad. I don't know if you remember what a double drop

We got a double grant yeah, so the table of five or more there's automatically eighteen percent Tipp on there. I would there were two moves with the double grants with automatic gratuity right one is it. Look like they're having a lively conversation, that's going on an expense account. They don't give a shit just draw the bill subtly, while they're having a nice laugh they'll just put it, a card on it, you take it they're, not gonna known. As I know this is. This is not great. I'm proud of this bill conflicted as I'm saying this, but I also don't feel conflicted because I double click double grand. I see the the gratuities on there and are still Tipp on top of it because it's a hard job, but if you get a very distinct sense that they are going to look at it, which is most people. I had this whole. spiel, where go just to let you guys know, and I played the like- I'm a nice guy, I'm telling you there is an eighty percent gratuity already on there. It does go on or the tax, so it's a little bit less than eighteen percent,

this is literally, I can't believe I remember it's like the words that the birth they saw. So you don't have people rid, of course I'd appreciate it. If you did but it's up to you, that's what I would say, and they always will you do after that. If somebody goes like, it's really it's more like fifteen percent or ten percent like if you can help me out, but you got stiff you got steps. I don't worry that this. This is one thing I ll, never forget. I bet about being a waiter, but I think of this one kid who ordered a water and I said to you on a bottle water and he was like on a date. They said. No, I won't tap. Water and then he said to his day. This wasn't it into the sunset he said to his day when I water. I want to taste it You like appreciating the notes of chlorine, water, energy and iron and, like all the floor, eyed and all these things, like that's water, that's what they'll take that step out. That's extra staff

it's kind of interesting the bar is insanely low for waiters. If you think about it because I can't take the mountain times. I've been out to dinner, and I'm paying and at some point when the time to do the tap the person neck, You guys she was really nice like she was she was nice are. He was nice and I, you'll get sucked here and I gather were really nice and would give up give a big tab. But it's not like that. They called the racial at that and beat off India Caesar Salad, there's something I mean it's part of their job is kind of showing up at being Romeo, I had it I was like the kid in office space. Remember the guys, like you want some Albania partners, I'm glad I put on a little show, but I didn't mistakes all the time I remember Two women came in and they got the big potatoes

which was like Vatican's standard I brought it out and it was really pick. It had started. Like congeal, it's pretty disgusting, but it was like an old soup, and they showed it to me and I like it so thick and I still remember this, because I went well that's now comes out sometime rode on the receipt they gave me no tip and they rode on the receipt verbatim. I remember it is: it went right on my heart, Europe, action over the soup left much to be desired. I was like that with her and I still remember it still bothers me. So I looked at them. Like little sets if a little crowd The two five people trying to few laughs, some people hated me. I remember I would check in on tables aloud and somebody was like it was a young guy, but he was like you vast ass. If we're ok like five times

after every cause. I'm asking for it was the appetizer gazing. Hydro gives a deserted gaieties like leave us alone. Like I'm sorry, I'm giving you a little bit more attention than Arby's like this is an art haywire. You guys come down on this because it happened to me last night I went out to dinner. I tried it. Do the low carb thing by, about the low carb thing is and I'm I'm I'm weak but now my weak person but I'll ride to the low carb thing. The thing at the low carbs is you can you in order the low carb thing, even go Gimme a stake in Gimme, some broccoli me and I'll do the salad, but don't do me the rice peel off. You know you can kind of control and bite some place? Is do the roles they do pre dinner-

rolls off a lot of places. Do the pre dinner roles in the pool pre did a role is now delivered by the waiter or the waitress at its never discussed you're, just sitting there talking in eighteen. Oh, I roll comes in and lands in the middle of the table, and then you look up and there's a guy who's struggling with the language and he's walking away. You ve gone he's so he's drop the role of and to me right good God. Now we have the rules, they dragged off the whipped butter and the wrong self bucket we're gonna eat it. Sound like I'm going to sit here and stare at this role while the butter mouth I said no card, but drop. The rolls off manna from Heaven where's your we're aiding the rolls so. Why not even the raw night? Why? Because most alcoholics might put together a few days, a sobriety, but what have you force them to sit in a bar and watch?

like your skin, you know what I mean they in front of put a whiskey in front of a right to do a lot of our colleagues. It don't drink. If you could put a whiskey down ebbed, say you know, I didn't order that new jobs want roles that piece of shit and you love role or their old. I want your pulling in the language barrier. We couldn't say no. Thank you understand these funds in their fuckin roles, I'm sorry. I think they should. I believe, that's far better. If you don't want tax, we can move forward. But here I got out of the roles and the bread are very often recycle, the untouched. You know roles and bread, celery hears or the chips and also ears problem devour nazi chieftain. Ok, when you get to that its eyes, our the wrong, I devour the role this last night Van ten minutes later

from over my shoulder, I'm not facing partial, oh, my shoulder comes second, are all your from now on the table. Then I say around I dont want the role and the guy goes. I can't take it back and I should just just just take: take the roll back you Did it with the Tajik I can't put it? I can put it back in the thing as lights a minute now. This is the rolls, my probably you for another role at me. This is the second wrong, so I started on the second, I pick the roll up and moved to the other side of tat because he wouldn't take it back now. My thing is: is that's all body then take the Fuckin Rome. it into the bushes at a few candy jobs. Did he say sorry, this is how we roll back. I do this. Do I play for?

games. Where you go like this role, it's gonna get wasted. I have to eat this role of AL. Sometimes my wife will order desert and she's like I don't want to eat this whole thing, and I come in like a hero, unlike our dive on this grenade right. It's really you can just let the cram relay go like throw it away. It's fine! You don't have to put it into your body. I feel like I can't from from how I grew up, I can't do it yeah I understand, is part of a part of your background. I think about you all the time, because I walk my dog. I pick up my dogs, poop and I'll put it in anybody's garbage can and I hear your voice go away. I don't want to smile someone else's dog shit when I open up my hand, was like really really whose open it up again and taken a deep whip like a hot, a soup and anti out. Even if you do

A second now hold on my policy is if the Cannes on the way out like it still fall, you can throw it at the top of its being empty then the homeowner Hasta just retrieved their trash can with your dog shit and the first thing in that same ground known as once trash, and is your dog shit that my thing is not that you can't do it better. You can do it if it's been emptied because now they're bringing it back up their drive, and now it's on the bottom now you're a good six feet away from a little bag. Doggie doo doo, I could say

gave we put it on the top in its full and may come back. They have a banana that they want to add they getting the same old factory penalty is this, is this is more symbolic than it really is anything? I'm don't get me wrong. I'm not lumping you guys in with the guys who shot lady Gaga lockers part of a gang initiation. It's not then I am not now as a is that still feel like there's a marginal practice outside too much more of a this person has to pull the trash cans back up their dry.

Where, with the with the poop and download, have little business cards that your hand out Adam. That say I dont really care as much as I seem to care about what a try.
