like the front of our house, right? 331 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,320 We live in a brick and wood house and it has holes in the brick. 332 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,840 Like the weep holes, I guess is what they're called, which sounds weird. 333 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,840 Shut your weep hole. 334 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,840 Like, all right, geez. 335 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,840 Harsh. 336

like, all right, well fuck. 340 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:40,280 And then the guy, we actually had a guy come and take the bees out of the house. 341 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,920 And I'm saying this because I want y'all to be careful. 342 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,100 It's my little sort of a public service announcement, I guess I will say. 343 00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:52,880 So the other day I go get the kids, like three o'clock, get on the bus, Liz comes home and 344 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,000 we're standing there at the kitchen window. 345 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,480 And I look outside

right? 350 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,680 I got downstairs, there was about 12 bees just inside, like flying against the, like 351 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:18,240 the sliding glass door and the windows. 352 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,240 And it was, yeah. 353 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,160 And I go outside and they were swarming. 354 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,600 They were swarming into this part of the house and they were getting in through the joists 355 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,640 or whatever that was in the ceiling, the wood. 356 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,400 Man, holy crap. 357

They're just looking for a place to live. 363 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:49,080 And I said, well, they cannot stay here unless they want to buy a spot on my podcast. 364 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,200 And I don't know what bees say. 365 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,200 I don't know. 366 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,880 Is that what bees, sounds like a pager sitting on a wooden table. 367 00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,880 All right. 368 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,440 No, but I was like, they can't stay here, obviously. 369 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,480 And I don't want them being in that part of the house. 370 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:11,680 We lived in, he said, look, I don't think they're going to, they may leave. 371 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,560 Maybe not, but they should stop. 372 00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:16,600 Like you should be able to, once they figure out where they're going, they probably won't 373 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,600 come in the house. 374 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,600 They're trying to go outside. 375 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,600 They don't want to come inside. 376 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,200 They'll figure that out eventually. 377 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,280 Well, I hope they figure that out soon. 378 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,160 All short-term memory loss or some shit going on because that's bad. 379 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:33,200 But point of this is they did leave and they went outside and they went back out into a 380 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:38,360 tree that's outside in our yard and they formed up on a big old branch out there and 381 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,560 there's a big swarm of them. 382 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,360 And I was reading about recently down in Georgia or something like that. 383 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,480 This family took out a giant hive of like 20,000. 384 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,480 I don't know. 385 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,480 It was 200,000. 386 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,480 I don't know. 387 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,760 20,000 seems like a whole lot, doesn't it? 388 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,760 Wouldn't that be pretty big? 389 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,040 I mean, the hives we have on the hill, they don't have, I don't know. 390 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,320 I don't want to guess, but it was something very large. 391 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,400 Whatever, whatever very large for a hive is. 392 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,080 And it was this very large swarm. 393 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:08,920 And this family took fire hoses to it or a fire hose size. 394 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,960 It's very large hoses of water and like sprayed them down and killed them. 395 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,160 So don't do that. 396 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,720 And if you see them out in your yard, a swarm and sleep alone, call a bee dude. 397 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,360 A lot of times you can find them through your government website. 398 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,360 Yeah. 399 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,360 Be nice to the bees. 400 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,360 Okay. 401 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,360 It was kind of weird. 402 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,620 I felt bad because some of them, I wasn't going to be able to get them out of the house. 403 00:15:30,620 --> 00:15:32,760 So I had to suck them up into the vacuum. 404 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,680 So yeah, so I felt bad about those, but be nice to the bees. 405 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,280 We tried to get all that we could outside, but some of them, some of them did go in the 406 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,080 vacuum, but a lot of them went outside. 407 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,080 All right. 408 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,600 Well, I'm just going to be honest with you. 409 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:48,600 Okay. 410 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,920 At this point, sorry, I had to take a little break. 411 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,320 I was done with recording for the night. 412 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,760 I just, I said, you know what? 413 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,400 I'm not going to, I'm done. 414 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:04,040 This is, I've been recording for a while and I decided, Hey, I'm going to come back tomorrow 415 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,800 and finish this up. 416 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,840 And so I, this is what happened. 417 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,160 I know people are going, what the fuck? 418 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,520 What are you, what's going on? 419 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Yeah. 420 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,520 All right. 421 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,520 So I want to say this. 422 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,520 Okay. 423 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,240 First, because it happened about a week and a half ago, I want to say rest in peace to 424 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:25,200 my, my old boss, Barry, who I had when I worked at Fairfax ice arena, which I've talked about 425 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,720 my, my, my golden years of, of playing hockey and beer league. 426 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,960 He was one of the first decent bosses I ever had. 427 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,360 I was a young, stupid stoner kid and I was kind of a screw up and he, they was just, 428 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,360 I was just Miller. 429 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,560 So what he does, and I loved working at ice rink quit slash got fired from that job. 430 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,320 And a few years later, he, Barry would come in and he would shoot pool in this place. 431 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,840 I worked at called fast Eddie's and I was a manager there. 432 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,520 I'd gone from being a doorman to a manager. 433 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,480 And he, he told me at one point, he goes, Hey, Hey Miller, you're doing well, man. 434 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,480 I'm happy for you. 435 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,160 I'm proud of you, man. 436 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,000 And then about a month later, I quit slash got fired from that job. 437 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,120 But you know, what are you going to do? 438 00:17:07,120 --> 00:17:08,920 So rest in peace to Barry. 439 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,880 Then this one is really, this one has been really hard. 440 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,320 I couldn't get back down here to record. 441 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,000 I just didn't have it in me. 442 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:30,080 He was on episode 25, big Al Goodwin passed away on a Friday on Friday, the 12th of April. 443 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,760 You know, there were three guys when I first started doing comedy, uh, that took me on 444 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,640 the road with them on a regular basis that would take me out. 445 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,520 That would show me the ropes that showed me that the three basic rules of comedy, which 446 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,840 are show up on time, be funny, and be polite to everyone. 447 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,640 Those three people were Mike Diesel, Mark Matusoff and big Al Goodwin. 448 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:57,680 I would not have been any semblance of a comedian at any point in my life were it now for those 449 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,880 three guys, hugely from them. 450 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,920 Now I, you know, after a while I got out on the road on my own and I learned things that 451 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:05,920 way too. 452 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,040 But, you know, you got to start somewhere. 453 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,760 And these guys did that and Al passed away and, uh, you know, I was sitting there on 454 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,760 Sunday. 455 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,760 So that happened on the 12th. 456 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,920 I was sitting in there on the 14th and Liz and I were looking at some pictures of the 457 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,280 kid back when he was young and cute and nice to everybody. 458 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:29,160 And all of a sudden I saw it on Facebook and Mark Matusoff had shared it that Al had had, 459 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,160 Al was gone. 460 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,520 You know, he was amazing person. 461 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:38,160 You know, you know, as I said, you know, his love and his soul were bright for all to see 462 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,120 and it was not just comedy. 463 00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,800 And I learned a lot from big Al. 464 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:47,560 I'll always think of him when I hear the song Soul to Squeeze by Red Hot Chili Peppers. 465 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,560 One of the best parts about doing gigs with people doing these gigs is you get to ride 466 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:56,720 along with some of these comics and you spend hours in the car together and you talk about 467 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,720 stuff. 468 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,080 You talk about other things though, you talk about your hopes and dreams and your love 469 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:06,040 life or, or whatever, whatever might come up. 470 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,360 And Al just, it was always fun to ride with him. 471 00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:14,760 I remember though, so he talks about it in his Dry Bar comedy special, which I highly 472 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,520 recommend to anybody. 473 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:24,080 He talks about, you know, he has ADD and ADHD and before he had Adderall, he used to scare 474 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,000 me a little bit with his driving. 475 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,240 And we'd be driving and he'd be singing along to the song. 476 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:35,040 And I remember him singing word for word to Soul to Squeeze and, you know, just going 477 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,680 up and down this highway in West Virginia. 478 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,200 How could you forget that? 479 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,440 You know, one of the, some of the older bits I used to see him do, he'd be talking about 480 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:44,440 them. 481 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,200 And I'd see him developing them during the shows that we would do together. 482 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,480 And one of them is about different songs and like Yellow Lead Better by Pearl Jam and, 483 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,240 but Soul to Squeeze by the Red Hot. 484 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,440 And he talks about the line, doma, soma, cong, gong, babe. 485 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:06,200 Like I said, sometimes traveling to and from the gig is, is better than the gig itself. 486 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,960 You know, I, I'll say this to anybody who's a younger comic, newer comic, whatever, that 487 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,680 I might share any bit of useful comedy knowledge to you. 488 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,760 You know, I don't know, but hopefully I do every once in a while. 489 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,400 And I only do that because of guys like him who told me, you know, that's what you do. 490 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,960 I'd think I'm saying, Hey man, thanks for taking me on the road. 491 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,400 No, that's what comics do. 492 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,560 Look out for each other, help each other out. 493 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,520 He was all about that. 494 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,960 All these people have pics of with him. 495 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,360 I don't, I don't know where they are. 496 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:39,280 As I put it, you know, is my space still around? 497 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,340 Because I know he got some on the air. 498 00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:45,000 So I just, you know, I would tell anybody if you don't know who he is, look up big out 499 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000 good one. 500 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,360 He has awesome is antiques roadshow bit. 501 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:50,960 So funny too. 502 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,520 So you know, you should watch and love his work. 503 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,520 Okay. 504 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,680 But the last time I saw him in person, last time I worked with him, I'd done the beginning 505 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,600 of the week and then I finished up at the end of the week at the Virginia Beach funny 506 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:01,600 bone. 507 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,640 And the comic I worked with every night is the headliner was out good one. 508 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,520 He told me after the week was over, I remember we went out with, uh, I was with my girl, 509 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,520 we went out to the, we were going to the parking deck and we were standing out there and he 510 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,680 was like, told Liz nice to meet you and take care of this guy. 511 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,760 He's a good dude. 512 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:25,200 He told me, he said, he said, Hey man, you made me work every single show. 513 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,760 He said it was such like love and pride. 514 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,160 Like he was, he was proud of me. 515 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,120 He said, you know, I've seen the work you've been putting in. 516 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:38,000 You haven't wasted the time that I haven't seen you. 517 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,200 You just gotten better and better. 518 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:46,800 You know, I, I knew at that moment I had done something, you know, I had reached a level 519 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:52,560 and I have never in my life, um, this time and then a few others, I've never forgotten 520 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:59,320 such a compliment from someone I respected so much and for so long, you know, comedy 521 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,160 or otherwise. 522 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,880 And like I said, we corresponded over the years. 523 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:10,200 He was on episode 25 and you know, we, there was always that, Hey, Hey, and I'd just been 524 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,480 thinking about man, you know, episode 25, the audio was shitty. 525 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,560 I was recording my phone. 526 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,680 I was on anchor at the time and I was trying to, the only way to record remotely, I was 527 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,120 trying to get guests on it was COVID. 528 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:24,840 The stupid thing they had was you, you could record on your phone if you were the one originating 529 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,160 the interview and then the other people on the, on the other end could just use what 530 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,920 the fuck they wanted, which is stupid. 531 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:36,840 So he, so he came outside and pretty good and, uh, and I, I sounded terrible and I talked 532 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,880 too much and I listened to it a few months back, I guess, but I thought about it not 533 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,880 long ago and I said, man, I'm going to get him back on. 534 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,520 And then, and then I heard he was gone and it's, uh, you know, I just, I just want to 535 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,440 say my sincerest condolences. 536 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,200 I don't know if she'd ever hear this to his wife, Trish and their, and their family. 537 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,320 And I want to say much love to my old wise acres DC comedy people and, and my condolences 538 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,480 to anybody else who knew and loved him. 539 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,760 He was very, very special. 540 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,560 And if you don't know who he is, I highly encourage you to look him up. 541 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,520 His name was big Al Goodwin and he was a really, really fucking good standup comedy and he 542 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,000 taught me a lot. 543 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,440 So I could never be as good as he was. 544 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:17,840 He told me I could be one day. 545 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:25,800 I don't think I was, but Hey, at least Al, at least one time I made you work. 546 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:30,520 And I literally will never forget that and what you taught me. 547 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,520 All right. 548 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,600 All right, cool. 549 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,560 Okay. 550 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,600 So I know it's been kind of a weird episode, but Hey, it's been kind of a weird fucking 551 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,600 week. 552 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,200 I've been all gloomy in the comedy world since last time I talked to you. 553 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:50,200 I did do a show a couple of weeks ago that I put together with a local community association. 554 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,360 I love when people just say community. 555 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:53,360 It just sounds so cool. 556 00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:54,360 Right? 557 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:57,120 And I'm a member of the group and I said, Hey, you guys want to do a show? 558 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:58,300 And they said, yeah. 559 00:23:58,300 --> 00:23:59,920 And so I put it together. 560 00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:00,960 So I didn't really produce it. 561 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:05,480 I basically told the comics when to be there, but I want to give a shout out to Riley and 562 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,520 Joe who helped put it together. 563 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,520 They got, they had the venue, they had the lights, they had the sound system, the chair, 564 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,160 they did all that because I was running late. 565 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,800 They even had the banner for the stage. 566 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:17,800 I mean, it was awesome. 567 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,600 It was a really good time. 568 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,440 But a shout out to Mr. Charlie Waring, fantastic comic. 569 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,080 Mr. Patrick Logan, who was on episode 61 of the show here. 570 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,880 Mr. Sammy Tamimi, who I hopefully you'll hear on the podcast, as well as Charlie. 571 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,400 And then another guy who I'd only seen him a couple of times hanging out at the Funny 572 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,800 Bone doing sets for the Clash of the Comics. 573 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,480 He came in, he did like 10 minutes to open the show and did a great job. 574 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,720 Mr. Abner Marroquin was on the show too and it was fantastic. 575 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:46,720 It was a great job. 576 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,840 One person said to me, hey, how come you didn't have any comedians on the show? 577 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,240 Because I think the word comedian is stupid. 578 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,240 Okay, I do. 579 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,520 People, yeah, I get it. 580 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:56,520 You're a female comic. 581 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,400 Why don't you just be a comic, right? 582 00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,520 That's what I look at it. 583 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,720 That's the way I was told by women. 584 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,600 I mean, I've heard so many people say that. 585 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,600 Kathleen Manigan, one time I was talking to her and a couple other people, it wasn't just 586 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,040 me, but we were talking to a bunch of people and the word comedian came up. 587 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,120 She said, I'm just a comic. 588 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,320 I'm just a comic just like anybody else. 589 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,600 And I always took that to heart. 590 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,800 And so I call other comics, comics. 591 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,280 I don't care what their gender is, but I don't give a fuck. 592 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,280 I don't care. 593 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,280 I don't care what their sexuality is. 594 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,600 I don't care what their gender is. 595 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,320 You're a comic, you're a comic, right? 596 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:31,360 Just for the record though, I did try to get some female comics on the show and both of 597 00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:32,360 them bailed on me. 598 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:37,640 So no, actually I had one comic, I got her lined up and she had to bail. 599 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,600 She had something better to do. 600 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,600 Bigger opportunity. 601 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:41,600 I get it. 602 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,600 No problem. 603 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,120 And then I had another one on and then she had to bail as well for a personal reason. 604 00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:47,760 So not a big deal. 605 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:48,760 Not a big deal. 606 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,200 I'll get them on a different show. 607 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,200 But I did try. 608 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,800 I just want that stated for the record. 609 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,920 And then I did do a set last night. 610 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,280 I went to my home away from home for comedy lately. 611 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,880 It has functastic need. 612 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,320 I did an old bit in my time back to comedy. 613 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,760 I actually had kind of stopped doing it. 614 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,120 But the last time I saw Al and it worked with him, he'd seen it. 615 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:11,640 And I've been doing it for a couple of years at that point as my closer. 616 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,040 And I did it last night and it was very cool to do. 617 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,400 And it was sort of cathartic and it was sort of my way to kind of say, okay, you know, 618 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,480 kind of accept what's happened with Al and everything. 619 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,480 And it was good. 620 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,480 It was good. 621 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,480 It was good to do that bit. 622 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,400 Actually, I got some laughs on it. 623 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,520 Did a new joke that I have brand new off the rip. 624 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,520 Did a new joke. 625 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,520 I actually liked it. 626 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,880 People say you did a new joke to open a set. 627 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,400 Yeah, it's a fucking open mic. 628 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,400 Get over it. 629 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,400 What are you a scientist? 630 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,600 Then I did a 420 joke that's old. 631 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,600 And then I did the old one, which I've done a bunch of times. 632 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,080 So it was it was fine. 633 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,320 Felt good to kind of stretch the comedy legs and then hanging with comics is always awesome. 634 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,000 And I ended up talking to comics. 635 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,560 I think that aspect of it was pretty cool as well. 636 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,760 Okay, so don't worry about my little brain. 637 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,200 I'm going to be fine. 638 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,120 I think comedy for me is cathartic. 639 00:26:58,120 --> 00:26:59,120 It's therapy. 640 00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:03,240 You know, I always talk about how I think comics are some of the most damaged, stressed 641 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,120 out neurotic people that I've ever met my entire life. 642 00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:07,440 And I'm one of them. 643 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,480 And that's okay. 644 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,680 But that's why comics do comedy. 645 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,620 You know, that's why they do it. 646 00:27:12,620 --> 00:27:17,040 They do it because it means something to them in some kind of way that it helps them feel 647 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,260 better and they like to make people laugh in some sort of way. 648 00:27:20,260 --> 00:27:21,260 And that's it. 649 00:27:21,260 --> 00:27:22,260 A lot of times it's just that simple. 650 00:27:22,260 --> 00:27:24,360 People want to go, why do you do comedy? 651 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:25,440 I do it because I like it. 652 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,480 I do it because I've been listening to it since I was a little kid. 653 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,240 You know, it's always going to be a part of me. 654 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,280 You know, people I've met over the years, whatever the case may be of whether they're 655 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,280 with us or not. 656 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,200 So they are the reasons why I am a comic today. 657 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,200 All of them. 658 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:43,240 I didn't do this on my own and I had a lot of help from a lot of great comedians, male 659 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,360 and female. 660 00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:47,760 So to them, I say thank you. 661 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,680 To anybody who's ever helped me, I say thank you. 662 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,320 I sincerely appreciate it. 663 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,320 All right. 664 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,040 Well, don't forget to follow me on social media. 665
