What live, as it happens at nine p m, eight central, so bright came by to talk by doing that live specially brought Joe bolster women. Now, Joe bolster myself and Brian all did a show called short attention span. Theatre on comedy central back in the day was my first gig television. I was not happy about it surprise, but I did, because I'm broke, and I learned some things doing it, but it was in insisting that Joe came Joe opens forum for brain. Sometimes I had not seen Joe in years, put him on the mike and it was like this weird reunion of the past. Out of short attention span theater and we had fun. We I we had more more fun than anticipated.

I always knew Brian would be fine, but then there is Joe is here and I, while this we just up the funny anti right. I appreciate all the kudos and excitement over the Keith richards interview, a few, a bleeding d, in types of sober people, a little concerned with the cigarette nazism. Insinuations were made. What have you done you heroin? What have you done for you, a blind coke. the average eu cocktail I wouldn't have done, knows There's that answer. Why do you want you smoke it? You know, you start smoking get one guy. Who was, I think, fairly sense. to the situation of the possibilities of the situation said. Oh great now we're going to have to listen to MARC marron, trying to quit cigarettes for six months in the monologues, I'm here to report that, because, I am completely saturated with nicotine again on a daily basis through nicotine lozenges. I have not had another cigarette. Since I smoke that cigarette with Keith richards, I have no plan

the smoke another cigarette. I know that a lot of people say that, but I'm really, I don't think I'm in there. I don't think I'm in the woods. I think I'm out of the woods I knew I was out of the woods. Why smoked it? It was risk, just a smoking is a dirty sucked, a bunch of licences by death I want to share smoke, wood, Keith, richards and I think a lot you understand who wouldn't do that in may day, my life and I'm glad I was glad to share with you for those people we? Let me say another thing: while I'm here because I'm sensitive and I at the aggravated and angry sometimes over overload things, but here's the deal I dont ask the question that you think I should ask you should to do an interview with the person I'm talking to that's how that works The interview fall short of what you think you would have asked you should you should make cod. With that person and get those questions answered, because I do what I do and for those of you who listen and are still hung up on answers, and not upon feeling

I think you're missing the point of what happens here on a good day. That said. those of you who like to see me in australia, here's your chair to take a trip. Australia have you live It's going to be easier, but if some you're like white ones, we plan to go to australia well october, fifteen That would be a nice day to go to sydney because I'll be at the state theatre that night or if you're thinking melbourne, would be fun october.

Is It was west in two years ago that we he crossed the one hundred million mark, so things are picked up, but a big number and man.

Now I'm talking like brine, Regan's aids, wicked app and quick, it happens, but you, you did that. Shall I go like a lot yeah. I

was twenty eight and I was honoured to do every one of em. The last one I was on re romano was also on. He was the first guest and he had a very nice moment where he told Dave that his if changed on that spot, the stand up com, spot. Oh yeah, he said I went out there and I had a set and your people called me a couple of days later. That's right and you changed my life and ray romano got emotional. You know on the show and Dave said: why don't you go out there and stand on that spot again? You know man, I'm going to cry and I'm backstage going. I got a good sticker on that spot. Real gotta follow a guy crying standing on a spot and I gotta go out there and make people laugh on that spot. I'm here to do the job that that spot requires. This is not a nostalgic journey that I have to work on, that spot, get off to get the tears off that spot. That spot is not for crying

and it was a really nice moment for re he you know he said that he had never been able to. Thank god dave letterman publicly, like that's. It was a good thing for is a sweet guy. That re salute you now and again. And somewhere backstage worry rose garden was gone. I got two guys you're, my guys, but death by. So you really just passing conversation with them generally just a good job and you shake your hand and you stand there just the moment. Where do you know you finish your set and then he walks up from behind and you have to pretend Like you, don't know? Walker, I understand you don't want to turn around right right, because what if he isn't coming right, yeah, weird few seconds where you just standing there looking forward thinking, hey, hey, I didn't know you were coming up from behind me: it's a while to be out there and know he stands sitting there. It's so trippy man! I get I'm going to miss him! Oh yeah! I I think you I think, comedians

comedians, love, dave, letterman and his yet harmony in his style debating, introduce state style that had not been prominent before he ran the scene and I think that's way comedians really. You know lobby. I did the endearing crank. Yes yeah. Well, everyone Dave letterman had the daytime talk, show yeah no before they allies will. Now it's not for that that already but dumb when you you're gonna be replaced his final episode. He did a tribute to the oh. That was going to replace issue which we can be card, sharks, sharks or charter bright, and he had like fifty two people dress like playing cards given out walking around, and it was so we ask of severe seven funny that he was making the show that was going to replace how you he'd he had just enough fuck you, I mean more of it when I was younger than a car smoothed out in the nice palatable fuck you at the corner near now,

important, don't see that enough on tv now or is Geauga open for a job trying to get on the mic Joe Joe bolster. Ladies and gentlemen, the job of the the Joe bozo bolster have felt like teller for the last twenty minutes. Yeah now Joey actually tell my audience Joe bolsters comedian, but he also, and I didn't remember you doing this, I

Instead, the short attention span theater, which was a show originally hosted by Jon stewart and patty ross Perot, yes, which I then I think became just patty ross, Perot, correct and then into brian and Brian Regan, hosted it and then Brian, I co, hosted oh youtube. Co, hosted it a brief period. It's get on that! Might joke that. We were, you know reminiscing today, if you'd like to ever see us, you can go down the museum of radio and television where we have an archive, then Brian left yeah. He did not like train wrecks and you yet I mustached you know this was postmasters, will get the mustache at the moment or are burying the leader in the lydia and what happened when I took over as they then auditioned my replacement with me on camera, which one was that they brought in randy kagan and re chambal. Who was a model number member? No, I don't remember the marriage, he couldn't read the prompter, so so you're auditioning you're you're, put through the humiliation. Yes of of you know finding money,

and then one of this guy marcus Alan who am radio personality of europe, is at a romantic. Yes ex ante sacramentos somewhere out here and the thought was his young looks good, but he had no comedy genuine plastic. Yes, yes, that kendall, a kind of- and I think I came in after him- you did and then and then robert small known for the unplug series that was his Big claimed fain. You just put a curtain up,

and he said we're going to revamp its where they they just trashed the whole premise of the show. What had become oh, you can watch it either sift through your fucking. I've got them all on tape. Thank you, Brian. I was watching some mark marron in front of the curtain. It wasn't no! No. That was what he was known for. You know sarah trying to lie my way through this to remember the vault. It was the concept was we were in the comedy vault in the basement of comedy central and there was a elevator that I'd come out of and there were several elevator operators to Branca santa rally was my elevator operator briefly. You'd have chat with him on the way down and yeah we'll chat and then come out and then what they do is they just bundled together a theme for the day based on free promotional clips. So if we were doing a carson theme, Joe is because they just released the best of car size and we'd, be like you remember this gem weight around and I had to I had to like when I first got there. I had a fight for them to get a writer in there. That would write me jokes. They had me doing. These weird throws the quips. All I remember

is saying this before I lost my mind. I said next up a pithy python pair and that's when the and we went to crib and I go. I hate what the media literate as the turning point, that was it the python pair and then John groff came in, and that was his first writing job who way he later went on to be head writer at conan You know it was very hard about that show when we were doing it. You know that they would like put themes, gather. You know the right. They would like have three or four comedians talking about air planets. Shoes awry, ok and then they were doing it. It wasn't going out live, but they were trying to do in life to tape, while they were doing that the while the showing those clips they would come up to me and say: forty five seconds short. We something about ten issues. So I'm like big

come back. I got to follow three of the best comedians in the world, doing their tightest tennis shoe stuff, and I got a winger something off the top of my head about tennis shoes which of course, didn't even come close to what everyone had just seen and just let everybody just kind of land with a thud at home, going ha ha anytime. He needs a co host. Yeah iranian joe bolstering is really a laugh or get a laffer up there. So you ended the show or you just want the ipad ipad bury dead thing. It wasn't bad. I guess I you know it's weird did because you know you ve had opportunities in television that you ve just you know how goes it limiting somehow Well, we do. We will now complete autonomy, is comedian exactly and then to get into a world where you don't do this challenging yeah, it's like having a job. Yes,

That's exciting man, I'm happy for you. What what else do you want to work? Well, we should get to my mustache co2 that that's how lazy I've gotten as if Iraq, as back you, that only big thing we're all yours but Ok, there was a decision there. I back in the day in the early eighties Maxwell house decided to do a campaign featuring comedians, Maxwell's coffee. And there's a real story here and they were they had you come in and you have you had to write the copy you had to prepare your own material. That was coffee related. and so I was one of the guys they brought in and I came in- and they said we don't like you with moustache haha. So I said well I'll shave

come back tomorrow, so I shaved it and came back the next day and they said we still don't like it and were like fuck yeah bring back just the master. Use that on the can, could you voice the can with your moustache? Will you look well man, it's good to see yankee. It was a nice surprise and good luck with this thing. It sounds like it's going to be hilarious, but I appreciate it man. Thank you very much. Yeah.

If you want to see nick, I believe you and go to governors on long island. This weekend, I remember good, remember having a great sound system, but the last time I played governors, you could still smoke there, but if you're on the long island gotta go

there's the cynic to policies at the grandson theatre in new york city on october, seventeenth, and you can get his special another sense- was killing at nicht apollo com. Please please join me. As I talk to the power of mine you haven't. You have spoken about with air was plenty because when we were set me up here, I went out of town when you're supposed to come out you I got a no vote. The president on what am I going to do, I was honest to god. Even now, I'm walking across the street I'm gone Jesus Christ. He must be going what the fuck. What am I? Oh? No, no! I don't. I don't feel this. I don't feel that way at all, because with me you know that

Well, the thing was, it was an amazing honor and we as an american, the president says you want to talk to you dude. You do well you're, you don't call. You know you're. I like dick cavett, oh yeah, that's how I look at you, one of the smothers brothers, a kind of a hip, a right guy conversation. Great thing to be yeah, but it was it, but you were impressed dude, I was blown away. I was fuckin blood. I woke up X, I did for you when I read that seriously exhilarating your excited about obama. The right to ask me belongs in a garage, listen now I say I was so excited for you. She said this I said to my wife merit. A friend of mine, and I got a friend of mine interview in the forest blank president in they talk about my roommate louie seek it, it does not the greatest country in the face of the earth, and I invite me so funny The fact is that, like we go talk about your house opened, they will work up to their right. What you say just got a good deal answer it

Well, finally, we are living in Tarrytown me and my why we moved up to tarrytown and we went to tough crowds that that's that's fifteen miles south of where my present house right and but my wife's acted like a financial genius. We look condo right. Neither the opening as a bridge hobby been by a million times complex and were therefore couple years Tough cry was on. I had saved a lot of money even before then say or like another way irregular, but will you write on the show I don't think I gotta writers, credit of like every year, with every day you what're you gonna. Last yeah I was well, I was supposed to be on. They had contract for us and I was get beyond twice a week and act like the second third episode I get called then by comedy central. He is a serious look on his face in everybody's talking like these cryptic, what the fuck You can make a lot of jew jokes and you don't do it with a smile on your face, some actual meeting. I

are you talking about? I may go. I say Nobody was making Joyce jobs ended up, so you haven't you weren't. Really. I go I want to see the fucking tape give me the tape, as they show you that I brought them home. People are laughing their ass off, but I was saying some over the top shit here, but so so it was a big country. call him in college, said to me. He had to keep me from getting kicked off the show completely So now you know really run show business the idea one turned out to be horrified at least comedy central it was so we're commons a go. And then I he goes- I don't want you to be that guy and unlike their own, although cryptic. I didn't know what they were talking about. But what did I do? What? What does that mean? You don't meet the guy who gets fired. I guess so. Yes, and they were jokes, they were just that. It's the same shit. We were doing at the comedy cellar table and that's the whole idea. That was why people love that show and why it was probably a threat to everybody. Is that it was jokes, by any other, when only but it still gotta will harry

and you know what I do. I know what I'm on stage and people have told you know, I sometimes I don't say it with a smile on my face. You know me I'm away to my own goods and boy. It's weird, but you know when you cross the line. Oh fuck yeah because it's fun it's fun and I don't think they sometimes. I don't think there is a lot. Your line might be here minds: five hundred free, download, but you know what is that funny anymore? I have I only have trouble gone, is it wasn't just mean or that funny as I get all and worse, did. You notice that you get jaded what I don't know what happened here. yeah I dunno when the anger you know like became first and foremost, you know what I mean you you're angry to know you know I was in it in, and I think arguably not not that funny. Sometimes the euro is on the right side of a family,

I dont know. If I was you know like I, when I look back at it, there were definitely jokes. I did at a different time where it was meant just to see if I could get away with it with the push the button I really think about them. There's a couple of jokes: they did where I'm surprised people didn't come and go yeah. I don't I don't know. If that's that's wrong minded they will. But my stuff sort. It goes against all the the oh biz. but- and I lay in a little done a right and it's not always very popular. Well, that's right that in show business and the show as we live in, but you you're always aggravated and then I know I know a little vista, a oh yeah days before the shower you get bored after being at the celebrate twelve years after cocktails yeah that brown liquor makes me fucking tank took me. It took me two. Cancellations to realise that there is the boughs, and it's still I have to which myself really cause you brain change, it change without me. You know nobody would pointed it out to me everybody's. Like me, yeah right, nobody will point out a little intense yeah. When you remember, I think we talked about.

Once you for a very long time ago and on the show I did my. I think my first paid gig in Boston opening, you gonna go in maine. Yes, happen mix you you were you just come off three: have you taken a few years, for now is in that way, and I come back come back to it and came back to boston, more went to school to start comedy over again, and then I think it must have been. I wonder if it's even before I came in second and that riot in, like you might be right before me, bury kathmandu, throw me some bones and that's what I've met you and in europe yet walk into that fuck I drove up to a guy we do have to mix, I still I won't bite or a few years ago they stole. The sign was still there really is still open, and it was like that the bar area. I kind of remember you, you do you walk in the bars on the left in the stages right there we walk in on the lead. That's exactly how I remember right and you are all nervous because you had to do like look what's funny finance shower how about you open for you now you're interviewing obama. I know that's right. I get Joe matter

Michel, yeah, yeah out, but see I still like. The funny thing is the week after I did, obama did, which was made. You're that what the fuck am I worried about. Not only to be willing to provide an ice buffer with what was funny, because what I going to do yeah me too, I interviewed obama's, are what is everything changed? We have made things about you. I thought you might be. You ve really change we're talking about my parents and I give you ve gone the other way. would you and I had such negative energies both of us you'd, walk into the comedy cellar and literally a rain cloud form over that table and stop Oregon other people, and you- and I would just laugh- I know it was it was. It was true and they were going the different directions, but I don't think they were essentially the different directions. I think that both of us are angry, anyways, yes, an end. and in the idea of having politics to distorted, run it through is nice, but I Have you got that? That's like throng gas on rice act in a year? I just think that where we ve got that attitude, you know, and yet we can't hide it.

Certainly there was that what I like you, I even oh, you know probably opposite ends at a spectrum. Reality clean, but we never really had a beef network when I the idea of really having your anger, pointed at me. I was, as you know, it's greater. He could point it wherever he wants. Not me, I'm not going to do it. I dunno I'm mellowing out, you know your age gets. Your age gets ya. He can't even now coming down to the fdr. I was like bumper to bumper. I just fucking. I actually have a john denver fucking best. John danbury put on now and marilla. I swear to god. I downloaded on my phone, so trapped, rome, you I swear to god. I I put on like a colorado, rocky mountain high and shine on my show sunshine. On my show, I swear to god. The funniest fucking thing you read is well yeah, you'll I'll, be singing along with it on the colorado rocky mountain high that I might get the fuck over you're in the left lane get over. It helps, but so, okay, so let's let's go back because, like I remember

I came back from Boston from l, a yeah. I was a little fucked up. I was trying to stay sober and then I I go there cause. I remember you were sort of like a pretty good job. You did you were you were supportive. You were a chick with you, I don't remember who the hell that was, but but you know you were you know you are doing a thing, but it all about you know tuna sandwich. You know all this shit you're right It was of course, want to manage without as sawdust in it or whatever you have broken glass row. Gaza has the dust. Remember that the error rate of stewed, but like there's a story. You that, like he, you know. I always like it's inspiration to me. because I don't know if it really happened. It was mothers. It's one, these road myths that day

That's where it happened to me: yeah, don't sit the bachelor party up front. I got banned from there because the ice, a woman runs wendy yeah yeah Yeah, I call the table bite. I gave him a chance. I always give the budget. You know you gotta, give him a little rope, yeah right drunken right, and then they just kept yelling shit out, and so I snapped on them back. What whatever you call much a bunch of drunk and concert and and and next thing yeah, some chick yeah upset and she's ball and she's. Bawling she'd bond with fake tirana had get out of here, and even worse, mark the punchline sacrament. That's when I heard that's that what had at about one get orally through it? While I was in no mood even for me, I'm, like I shouldn't, be out

dear for resolution. He runs up and hands me a shot to combat me like rumpled meant, and I d do it and it gets even now people are leaving now people trying to leave the club when they there was two hundred and twenty people. I thank you was packed house harmonies bombing less at an end. When may have died down. There was forty five people, oh my god, mass exit it for me, like that, you stayed in the saddle radiated a saddle dead, my set, they will love and it has the funny pot. Salt second show between, hang in the back of the roma people are being seated for the second show, and I hear people here. People are way to come over. You know Sean started that I'm standing the back and then I am hiding behind a corner and I hit people going to the waiter Haya we heard the headline it went nuts show, isn't easy, like a real fucking, crazy guy. Does it all the people, without see him waiting line in the hallway.

There is a lie to try to get their money back. They saw people coming out of this screaming and, and what was scary was even after the second show was over guy comes out and he goes. We have to have security, walk you back to your hotel because of those got that first, maybe the guys I was yelling during a pickup truck. This is a couple hours later. wait for me to come out of that places in a mall its upstairs across from a plucky match, restore yeah. Sadly, and gonna walk downstairs the parking lot I had to go to the mattresses live more know your exact it was. They had the disparity get in the back of the hotel. We are walking across the street. Like you said I do you mellow out with age and I've had them. I've had twenty bachelorette party since Bobby, and I and I say to them even and they've been pretty good. I think even clubs revolving in that way, but again they still sit him up front. But I say the girls. Now I got you know, I'm flattered. You came to see me right, even though you probably know the headline of vienna, but I also, why are you you know you ve been there.

right, even where cream out of a guy in Arusha that one get onto down under all over there lay a gag eyes dancing area. So I go I put on. You came to see me.

We, you can't talk, I really I don't really know where, where the tradition was established, I don't know why they keep doing it. I think it was barry, Katz management that established that's how he guys at the beginning of your career careers, but I get there. I think what they're really looking for is like the ad they'll, make fun of her, so they they expect us to do what we're going. do, but they don't realize that we, we fucking hate them and it is not going to be that fun versa. Some guys may handle it better, but I'm like oh, this is going to be a problem, yeah I am flattered, they came out right, but I think you and I what you realize as you get older, is that it gets sort of exhausting to fucking to do this defensive fucking.

no less and its. It actually feel better. Just do a nice show for people that water yes, but, like I think you and I both feel this about you when you first started, I went into it defensively. You know like when I, what might one Started doing anomaly security, of course, but I was like it was always a fight to me before that before it even start you before even got up, there might have done for no reason It was always a fire. You can talk yourself out of a good show yeah end, but I don't think I knew how to have a good show. The fact that I was doing regional gigs in the boston area was crazy.

You allow measurements box, I don't always bill bellamy bellamy, yet more yeah, you yeah yeah, it's it's here's how it all happened. I think you know that the different so words in your talking is that we clearly mentioned a cup. guys right. They disappeared and the, we think is, is that the real dude, the ones that can help themselves they find a way? Yes, you know you find a way as you know, and as you know, you hope with not too embarrassing.

The figured out illegal. Hopefully you can live with it or you delusional enough to take that everything's, ok, right it right it's crazy to me, and no, I definitely it's been good to me now and it still is, and people respect you and, like you and louis, like I love when you know like louis, Is you in the in the show, all the time he doesn't have to do that no end, but it's a french love to aunt of Yomi yeah. It's a friendship now cause we go way back. I mean way back. Dude, yeah louis is one hundred years already. This business has a lot of generous people in it. It's a real like you come up with people and you have relationship with people. I don't know any better people and the thing about it is not like normal life is like, No, it's almost like. We were all in the same war together and when we

each other's langley, polly shit. I remember when you lost at nights. Yeah, that's right! There's a dead and I know you do know right, grew back. Then you got your arm back. You are holding Michael the other hands like Roy years. I was your hook attributed this almost said. It grew back now. It's been very good luck tonight to. INDIGO or three weekends ago I was at the ridgefield playhouse yeah, it's a hit in in connecticut yeah. It's a beautiful venue. Three hundred fifty people pay thirty something bucks to see me. Yeah, yeah good show it's. My favorite show yeah and I I told next time I shoot something I don't care if it's an expense Please I'm shoot at that there. It was fuckin beautiful people on the balcony. You was full vomica. The you come to see me yet they pay aid and and in and end it

and they listen in no way. This is no. You know if the theatres, how nice it is greater than the hang it on every punch shit. I mama under my breath guideline whether they catch that Beth. It was so, and I was home by quarter of eleven and I could pay for what paid to club or a week at the best. What is I mean? I can't complain. I have that, but I do anyways with the like now that I'm doing like bigger venues, I'm still nervous about it, but like when you start doing door deals at comedy clubs, and you realize this is what these fuckers were. Making. When I was starting out. I didn't you know, like you know. I remember when I got up when I was headline encounter comes in unknown and no one knew me. I was making fifteen hundred bucks for wednesday through Sunday mike I did it. I made it and then you do a door. Gm like wait. A minute here. Do you mean twenty years ago with these fuckers do in that? I now and then you wonder like why you like whack, I still on the road yet because he's doing door deal you make it a forger. I wish I was about That's all I want mark. That's all I want at this point. I won't stand a pistol. I hate that

lying in the trunk of a chip being on stage. Its is fine. Now, if not more than it was, I don't know how many jobs say about them than it was when I first started me too yeah, but I just want to put asses in the seats interest points. That's that's what it really comes down. That's all I want to do and and like I said that ridgefield thing just reinforces that that experience I had my second. I was there a year before, but it's beautiful now, because you got the you got the podcast. Any got visibility. Yarn, howard, of doing anything as you do at people that, like you and they come in he's, getting them there and getting the gig, and you know right, yeah right in and then the woods interesting by use. A lot of you don't know this and we know it because, like your pa, personality once you you decided to do to be completely opinionated you might alienate people, you don't know, you have your people and I know you like to alienate people but, like I still know you in Louisville noisy, like you're, a sweet guy, you're, good hearted guy, and you wrote for Chris rock. I mean I don't think people realize that you know that the the difference between an act and the difference

what you're doing and how aware you are. I'm not even yet- and I I looks you have two sometimes you have to do- is to give notice I had to be. I notice that everybody thinks one way politically right as this right, I'm a swim upstream right right, sometimes bad publicity is good bubble is an end. The tough crowded spirits was good and bad for me right got me noticed rain and there's a lot of people. Think like me, and they still, though right but yeah. But in our like a said today, but a time where you going to be an opinionated white male right, shut your mouth and swim with us a that little bit I'll be back in ireland. I understand that point of view, but I think that when it comes down to doing comedy they on your best night, you know you you're you're talking the crowd that likes you and you're having a good time you're not up there. Just spewing anger, You know me, I went and got up phase I. It was scary phrase. I frankly I wish there was a period there. Probably I think it happened. Do a lot of guys, you're right after nine eleven you, like everything's,

snapped into place in good point and and anger. You had had a depth to it and and been wasted thing, but you were guy scary for a couple years, maybe Nobody will tell you, though, a really here nobody. Why? Because we're kind make when when will cut consequences, as a friend of theirs, yeah and and when when he would hand it's like Heaven, like your family member, finally sit you down or whatever I mean so he's like a father figure yeah. That's when I started going to say it will, just I'm afraid some of the you know. I'd I'd have meltdowns at the comedy cellar, yeah, allied right and- and he goes I'm you know, I'm just afraid. That'll come back to bite you in the ass yeah. lay whatever and then I thought I knew that myself bright fun to be fun, to walk, to see how far I can go right, right partner that you know me he's dead. The buddha make it worth yes can I can I borrow yachting drink like David held it in his prime awry already language you just one of those like when I drank you know you get. You know someone else turns on like this.

And you probably know this from rehab- not how much it's what it does to a change, yeah, yeah and- and I'm not blaming her on that, because I'm not a fall down drunk, but I I actually gnome the guy, who runs a comedies hella, no hey buddy area in a year and two years ago he guzzles luck. you know how me and my father loved how you stick your thumb in the eye political correctness, because you make it in europe make an inherent on us now and you know I didn't I didn't, You one point of, as I said, I said, you're right, the sun nights, at least If you're feeling bad how I turned the room into a you know, yeah, I feel bad about driving home what I did or whatever I that's how I know it's not right right. I I have since sort of like kept distance from that room right just to give them I break right right. He didn't he wasn't going to suspend me, but you know he's got a lot of angry emails. Yeah! Isn't it weird, though, that hopefully, because I do that, like there's, there's there's a couple of reasons that happens where you actually feel bad? You knew that you know that you did something Yeah fucked up in any it's a real feeling and like I get it now, sometimes I

edit, where, like you know, any light, and you do in a room and you here with us is in you know: you're not gonna get hired the I like it it's way up. It's just the audience. It's not even anything you said, but there's party that sort of like well, I'm going to have to push harder. You want the reaction one way or the that's right, you want to connect, you want to wake them, the fuck up or something like. Sometimes when I'm bombing like or not bombing, but not doing as well as I want, I won't get off stage I'll stay up there for two fucking hours, the one thing I don't want them believe saying is like he's acquitted, yeah yeah, exactly like arts of this, where you gonna be that I'm just gonna stay iron, and get your monies worth something by, but there is that you Where you know you know you crossed the line, you I doubt fuck, you know, and then he sort of like there there's something about that weird guilt or itself aiding thing that, like its happens, a lot it's lot compelling. I m not sure what it is. Maybe it's away. We we feel better about ourselves,

I fucking know what the fuck. If I know something was wrong. When I I got an apartment on the upper east side. Right before I moved to l a and here in new york, knicks diner was right across the street corner, yes to eat. It's my first week in the apartment I go over there to have breakfast. Yes waitressing.
