This time, Tom and Marc are thinking mostly about their futures, how they’re navigating the comedy world at their ages and success levels while staring at a not-too-distant time when the stage light goes out for good. Just two comedians discussing meaning, maturity, mysticism and maintaining the funny.

sure and reality of the world is some
exercise in denial, vital

Denial. I think

total inability to relax and just enjoy my fucking life really
if it's a hike, if it's I get it means your gear
you're gettin the exercise in getting the dopamine up.
Getting your heart rate up? It's an effort to frame stuff
Just as a it's, ok, dude

our thinking about his like. What's the difference between
bob and denial is just a tonal difference it
a total and if you do them both together, its eight tunnel and let that brings us to jazz

Is a jazz? Am I jazz? That's that's something I always think about, but I'll tell you what unfolded in the west
couple day, so I I was
Sitting at home, and mike is there a way to enjoy my day, is
a way to do that that doesn't
of eating or
masturbating is there a way I can just enjoy
a day without
to adding
the small vibration of shame to it. So.
my buddy dan gimme gimme dan over gimme gimme records gave me this.
pharaoh sanders box set
my birthday? It's not it's a specific box at its it's the fair!
album
from nineteen, seventy seven, it's
its. It was a small release its now.
the a
a strong, album. It's not
wrong, maybe baby, barbaric,
meanwhile, above on parallel and unbounded in bombay not that bad
never heard it before, and I don't really have any way of context rising many, the jazz people that I listened to you now
the difference between strong.
My friend dan calls it and be Bobby
big band and hard bop you I can you know I can get
the variations?
but always associated pharaoh sanders with a certain amount of the free form, but this
One is, and it's beautiful and I put it on- and I read this
how about it, and I listen to both sides a all
through and then I listen to a couple. Why versions from the same error there's a second vinyl in their of her
This time live and it was beautiful
It was meditation, oh
You know, and I and I don't always know how to even talk about jazz, to be honest with you, but so then I just said: well, let's make it a jazz day, and then I watched the first two
parts of the wayne shorter doc and a lot of
things were brought together for me- and I just don't know the history and I should know It- it seems like information that's available. I didn't know that,
You know about wayne shorter and about his childhood and about your him moving through
His childhood into our blakey, the jazz messengers and on into miles, is quintet which reach
define miles altogether and then on into whether report another tragedy, hee hee,
encountered in his wife and his compositional genius
all that stuff. His buddhism,
you are after all, was said and done I don't know I I give. I can tell in certain situations that I'm not sure I can tell the difference between someone on the spectrum in a certain way and a devout buddhist in terms of their presence
It is clearly a genius
but how he weathered the tragedy he did without completely collapsing. He sort of a trip
two buddhism in the big picture
and looking for the indestructible happiness or what not, but the new
What is of the way he plays in how is respected, and I
gave me this whole other understanding of his me.
Dick and then you know eight enabled me to go back into that pharaoh, sanders record and kind of figures.
You know when or how many jazz docks I see.
Yet you, I don't think I've ever heard thither
the monk quote that
jazz when he was asked what it is. He says it's music, that white people can't steel abbe
as the time it was coming about that bebop and hard bob in the way pop music worked and just how much appropriation there was an outright theft
that gave me another new watson show.
It tells you out of miles Davis stories, but it was. I spent four hours
engaging with jazz music. What
listen to one album once got to new information. Listen to it again in a different way, changed my brain a little bit.
and it was it was great. It was a day well spent.
but your pardon me that was sort of like was it, though, was it well spent
you could have into another things I washed up
greenwich village. The other day. I don't know why
I had seen in a long time, and I wanted to try
figure out again our many years later, whether or not-
Eric Roberts was good or just
completely over the top and over acting
going to
No, I'm going to err on the side of Eric Robert was being Eric Roberts,
jolly they took
some thumb by enjoyed the movie
I enjoy, will bert young occasionally on the bert young guy he's great in it. I don't know what this
need to watch old movies. Is I think that you, in the face of your on coming desire,
your chaos catastrophe apocalypse, sometimes it
nice to ground yourself in something there
is familiar, but you
quite remember, and when
watch it again what it meant either
first time, workers
foundation and
how you take it in now it just sort of a kind of it gets
almost gets. Your entire being up to speed
do I just made an impact on me years ago?
quite remember why or how and then you
Watch it or listen to it or re
again and a kind of it
to jump. Jumper doesn't dozen
it arcs over all those years that you had sort of
after behind and reconnect some party. You do something
younger out enough. I still don't call that nostalgia. I call that a a sort of
figuring out whether the piece of art,
Has grown with you and whether or not it still has something to say,
you something to inform.
When we started doing deputy fourteen years ago, we needed a website and, as w g have grew, we needed to keep updating our website in the old days. It was kind of a pain. If we wanted to keep up with the times we had to come
We get the site, redesigned or pay for server upgrades, but once we started working with square
space. All those headaches went away. Any updates or changes are handled easily because, whereas based gives us
thing, we need to keep things running smoothly and, looking great you don't have to be an x
to design a site using squares base, their templates.
Out all the guesswork, all of it
There is also the squares based videos duty on the square space member areas, so you can give your audience what they want. It's time
to turn your dreams into a reality. We had discourse

api I like to get a staffs, which is a persian place down the street,

me LOS. Angeles is synonymous with show business, but arts and culture are more vibrant here than ever before, from museums to music to ST arctic. Comedy art is every

right in what I just said,
from your hanging from the bar is company put a pull up are in my and somewhat
stuff in my garage. She have a full Jim
it's what company, because you're such a powerful influencer yeah that they're like? Maybe we can get this guy hanging from the bar right exactly this guy as a minimum. The following and even less muscle mass it'd be great to see him struggle to get one in. That's what regular people want to see that guy can't do it? I can't either he let me get one of those bars exactly and I really have been a yeah. No
was good. I was like I'm going to buy the end of the summer and be able to do at least one pull up now
their hard man. To I mean
you doing, overhand or underhand gets a cheer up it s this year. At the hour by hour, hard won this one. I could do
like in a jam on the road, oh yeah, I get, it
I have been hitting the gym on the road yeah yeah. When you see it you're you have more energy in the gym on the road, because there's less at stake, just the existential loneliness of being in a hotel gym. You like a superhero wow, I'm the only man alive on display for the lobby
the days in I've been trying to run more on the road, and this has been a real kwan conundrum
like it's hard to pack like it
pair of running shoes are one it's a you gotta really commit you gotta yeah, you gotta decide. You know it's like so hard. How do you handle it? I usually I'm like I wear the sneakers on the plane, which is which kills me
they meet here, it's wrong with us, because we will get to dress up on the point five mike I wear my boots. I gotta take em authors, fuckin metal them, but are not. I will not where sneak river. You look good. You,
better and because you know why, because the sneakers is an indication of that army of lazy people that it just wearing was especially middle age manager wearing those like yeah.
Who'S- that they're not working out it's kind of like ones, those ones it like. You almost got for free one of those barriers and there is an appropriate that either just soft and they are due
They have been either it's like a thing. There is this whole movement around these. You better have nothing to them. Slippers. The fuck were they
How do you like we, I dont want and we did ads for. I don't wanna, because I don't want to join them.
So either I don't wearing laser wearing my sneakers on the plane. Just kills me, but there is no room in the carry on tv
It's all about get nothing in that goddamn carry him. I know I
I bought a new one yesterday and my wife's like, is it smaller here and it was it it's the same brand the same or am I gonna know it's the same, and I put it.
We all back. It's like that. It's I get half inch on each side. Small,
keep painting you in making them small, I mean for it for three:
I mean you know you can get by ear. They then it's like easy piece. You re a week, yeah, that's when you're in trouble yeah for
with the one day. You can do it, but you might be. You know your input,
but the sneakers in your shoulder bag.
Yeah yeah, that's sad, yeah you're, your god forbid. You put them on the internet, you know and not be one of those and be one of those guys as opposed to the guy. That's got sneakers jammed into his computer bag yeah. Exactly it's so funny too, is that what I I did wear the sneakers in the airport and I'm usually
boots and awareness wearing sneakers and I'm going to connect
in phoenix like I was like this- is pretty comfortable
I know this is why all those people that were going through the at the salt lake city airport, where it takes an hour to walk from your gate and wearing boots like a clock around a little I dunno. If I've met people and I dunno if I've ever talked about it specifically about this but yeah I mean I will, and you see people online when you're security you've got it figured out where you're taken off your dumb boots might have metal in them. So even if m t s a are first, it doesn't matter yeah. I gotta take them off because there's metal in there, like you, don't have to take a a and you look at their.
Comfortable shears. They think they ve got one up and that their educating you and
You can't just say yeah, but you look like a putz every fucking. You know what I mean you gave up, I'm still like you know, I'm going to get off the plane and I'm ready to go. Do things. What are you ready to go the hotel and you'll put on your real close order? Pizza hut, Mcvay held the guy in the room across from you,
It's the worse, but he out all the time I am going to hard yeah
really hard from now. Until when did you start
like hell know I can never
if I slow down a little bit my summer, but I'd like
we can now
Why would he do I get so you do like any fuckin place.
Yeah pretty pretty it now like for the first time in career. Am I right can go play nice, theatres and I just this-
First theatre really really
couple years here:

What, if I'm workin out an hour ago, do the club yet for inga, even in markets like I'm gonna saint Louis next week, and I think like
kind of have a good sense of of what I can pull out a media
like I'll go. Do ST louis, because I'm not going to a theater in ST louis and like a tough market, it is so I've got five shows there and you're totally a couple of the waitrose aren't looking great, but but it's
have like seven hundred tickets and I'm like that's about what I would do yeah. You know at a theater, seven, eight hundred, maybe but the beauty of like if you are working out something new, a big thing, a big hour. I hate saying the hour, but your new act yeah a five
several other than one's. Why do it the ants better than once you haven't you do I e? Do remember you after
second show on a saturday like nah, Craig yeah, this is art yeah. That's what I wanted to say when I came up on the porch, but what your special was so good. Oh thank you ma'am! It was so funny.
Really, I mean really really. I was.
you know, I've got a lot of em radio show you and you know it
love you and libya harmony and all that, but this special
just was like laugh
and like alone in my house, okay laughing out loud, is hard to even comedians. You love. I like yeah, that's good yeah, a little chuckle sure this was just like. Oh good, I'm glad it's so good, it's very nice. He said he was well. You know. I do think that he
you know. As an old man. Now I've relax two out of the muscles that made people started, going
intense man you know is music get special, but everything
and you got pretty heavy. You know yeah yeah. I think I've I've been able to get funnier yeah.
Without without
without eliminating the subject now the subs you're still dealing with the same starve sure but its funnier. Thank you. It's
I mean you're, always twenty, but this was like. I don't know and worked hard. Your craft added value, the you'd better at it, yeah yeah it's before you
to be like ok, but now you
it give me the same stuff, but it's yeah these laughs to it, and I think I'm a little lighter in certain ways- and I you know it was interesting with that was we did two shows
and the fur is a town hall and the first show they were just too excited. Yet
You know everything was I gives was it was too much area and you know when you do in two for this special you coming
you're footing on that. First, one by literally the audience was too good. A second audience was
it was a real audience like I had to work for it. We're gonna use that one right yeah, because I had I had to go, get em yeah, yeah and as much as people say like I sit down and do this or like you know, I know I was up
moving. Oh yeah, you know I'm going after it. It's interesting though, and I I re watched it and do so would be fresh and
There was a when you you go to that. You go to the still pretty quickly.
The unanimous around you paste back and forth and used,
down and that shot was so great right and you sitting I was just
I wanted you to sip for some reason and yeah like I just there was something like you look like you're good in that space. Now. Doesn't one not a lot of people do that now yeah, I I I'm a I'm a good sitter, but that was because I was one of the jokes. I mangled there's a couple of jokes that I I blew
I only know that you know that their there there find enough, but there was beat. I missed in one other thing
by because when you work, when you really work a fuckin our ear, you like it is sort of once you get down to it. You, like you, know,
and in the trick is to take
engage with it, not walk through it by now, but there, but like there's a couple moments in there that then, why rift like? I
if so away.
Do you are you working on one really good thanks, buddy yeah yeah
I think I'm gonna shoot in the spring and the winters spring.
rumours you ass one in their last last october haha, what was it
what a day. Ok, what a day!
I don't know I watch out. One had been watching your sets. Lately, though yeah
the yeah. I I can't remember but they've funny lately. Thank you.
Yeah, you're, always funny- I mean we've talked about it before it is a your pacing is. Is you always say whenever I hear you talking about me to somebody else, you always go precise, he's very precise,
any better than that of any takes, always thinking to myself yeah by jokes.
There are a little tight, but I feel like you want me, be a fuzzier! No! No! No! No! I get you know, I'm like I'm learning, JAG ear know because, like I'm learning from you
because in the last special I'm very deliberate, I'm not frenetic. You know, I'm nine, a you know, there's not like that's what sort of left eat. My friend Jonathan said recently to me. You watch me, like you seem
more pay
still wondering like you, but I can say in a positive way, and am I gonna get you one man a crazy mark? I guess that's what I'm workin shit out: no you're right now you say it: it's like
call me of words in this one very ate it more impact and that's why that's something I learn from you, our from just on that guy. Just word from you know: either
even nate. You know who used open for me that.
when I myself, in which all
sometimes when I'm always myself, but sometimes if the audience isn't great, you pull the stool.
live in a state of my body, wants
real. You want the real thing right well worth, and people like
yeah. Well, it's hard,
manufacture that and it's hard to enjoy. Pacing yourself is it's it's a great craft yeah that, like I
look back at this specials. I just think I have become more deliver.
because I'm doing much more stand,
I then I I think I have since I was a kid so interesting, because what am I going to do? Yeah I'm here, you know I go out like three four nights a week to the store and then you get it
Can he its new in its frenetic and then you just start Kennedy?
winning it yeah and figuring out the beads and then leaving this basic need, but I I think
this evolution for me of, like I'm, still enjoying
evolving. Whatever my crafty yeah
set yeah in any way yeah yeah and you in you should take primate. You achieving,
like its there is there is this, like. I said like the subjects I think in the first like
in the first fifteen minutes? Oh yeah, you've talked about of it all of it. The end of the world, the end of the world ashes endemic yeah, yeah fashion. I got that all either way I felt it was my social responsibility. I was very aware that, like I'm going to throw all this shit up front, if you're going to be a lot, but then we're going right into grief like a little bit of a trinity, a yeah, it was a it was. It was really good and the and the stuff
at your your mother's boyfriend.
It's like him, not having a point to stories like that is like a tom papa bear they. I really, I did kind of love it. It was like closer to like family that I've seen you do was a different time. It was a different year that
you can add. Do I know, I know that there is a different yeah poor guy. Everyone takes a here. Are you first aura? They are
will, I get. Seventy six ah
really what how you forty two, why?
You did it fifty four sixty this month, wow
both my parents do. I know
the eighty four good gene
now there I mean Viejo is his mind like sure the physical,
Distance part, yet if a guy got those good g sounds nicer. Now, though he is nicer sounds like yeah, ITALY yeah. It's like it's like pushing buttons on a memory machine like a dad. Do you remember when we lived in new jersey, so yeah,
What do you remember like and you hit little buttons and you can watch a kind of write up yeah, but then it sort of drifts into sort of like Nana
If you look at the water I love I went to look about where the water guy this allows stuff, it's so weird how quickly it goes away. I know is that,
providing
alzheimer's know it's like on purpose discarding it it put it so stupid. I think
adele brown, oh, if we can handle it, I don't know if we can keep it all in, but I mean like I'm you have talked about this or that
I mean there are jokes it I did
that I know you like. I'm still discoverable person
Do you and I are both zadig- were selling out arenas year, so I cannot
people that have not seen the stuff we did four years ago, which was really good right. I know in your kinds there's part of me: it's like why not just do a greatest hits any roi. Some guys used to do that. You know every I I don't I
about a week when I do corporate gigs
what are they expecting their expected
clean funny show.
and then you know, half of them aren't even comedy fan and they're, not even paying attention they've just been brought in there, because it's their night, you know, and and
if I'm working on something
I knew now the new act that I'm in it's not going.
is tighter. It yeah
it's usually a little you're on a workshop at the corporate yeah and it's a little less palatable. There's like you know, I haven't so I'll, go back to the the last two years,
and by its high gonna look it up overhead
I'm gonna keep bother me the countries where these two old guys go there like every fuckin night yeah, and I guess it's good- I I guess that's other deciding to spend it
and we or whatever you know this guy keeps telling me it's like you know to do the the the gun thing, the bad thing. Why, once you do that
iirc. I seen it like one hundred times and I'm like. I don't even remember how it starts. I know you remember the opening. Can you put the needle in the groove for me, because I dunno what the fuck do. I literally have to look it up or listen to it off spotify, but I don't think that's alzheimer's. I just think it's you know we have trained ourselves for whatever reason to think that, like once it's out there, it's done, which is so stupid, I guess,
I mean like I like your stuff left over from my last tape.
I'm kind of poland it out a little bit now. You know I mean why not, but the other stuff happening I eat. I guess
but when you hit when I, when I do go to that, guy corporate thing and I'll take out a joke that mark its.
Twenty years old,
like a twenty year old, joke yeah and
kills in a way that,
nothing the currently kills and theirs,
there's something to that? Is that our mature they glee age there? Is it more simple ways like it did? I only single all yeah yeah see the ads more palatable,
but there is also something to those jokes like that they do get there
in four years, it's a better joke than in some of them. Some of them die on the vine but yeah the ones that are good and kooky they do get they. May
lord, I wonder if that's true, it is true. Really, yes, yes,
for we stuck a crank out specials and stuff yeah stuff? What's you know sitting
act. A lot longer I mean a robber kind. Couldn't stop his foot for forty years yet equipping I remember
like this- where thing where they like, there was some special, his ear and hbo special. They literally showed like now
montage of always hbo special area of him doing that their own area, like we see it again now, if it there
the boy, wherever I remember seeing Cosby carnegie home, he work
for him to do the dentist bet.
And in the air, was it
its boiled had a day here,
People really want to see any went into it, but then care even care that,
as a great. Why are you why? I don't need because, like that I mean that's the trick of acres. I find that even when I'm working on some
that, like once I get something up in going yeah yeah. I know I gotta, remember it by you after you.
If you've got an hour and you're doing short sets, you can just you know, get tired of the new bits because you've got him in a place right. You know what I mean it's sort of like what am I using these short sets for I know I can get laugh. I know so like what are we going to do here? The short sets are so
I've, although a guy the stricken areas by this fifteen twenty minute wobbly part
right now in my which one eye price, it's about
there'll it's about people going the therapy trying to figure out like
There is no end to going the therapy that you're gonna go forever of, and that word up, we don't break and they get to be fixed rise as whole,
junk and kind of like all over the place, an area about wasn't really sure what I was saying here and but man go to the seller for three
I'll come back, go to the store for two nights in just. Do that? Just do that part than he really is in the beginning of a set. It really kind of conquers work it and it god it gets
so much better than you plug it back into the thing
in the cellar and so on. I dont know why turned on it? Oh, you did all of it yet
we. I keep. What I'll go with you doing in here. I can barely I barely work out when I go newark like the last time I went to new york, I end and stand up in a club in new york in years, really because I I just
like to go to new york. If I have something to do, we talk about this in the lounge. Yes, are you in the lounge that more innate were either try re cause? I swear. I ran to you when I was just going for no reason: yea regaining for fun. It's right at the american lounge yeah yeah owes a is a revelation to me yeah, because I know it could do that yeah.
I mean like
What am I doing?
do you know me like? I do sets
you're going to the stand which I had
We're done that stand at the last amendment to the stand was of authority
Based on my right, one, where I ve never been out of your caves of equity
fine here, but there I have some.
I've got into my head that the sellers become sort of a mill fur
to any shows what
to be shown in this. You know him, I don't know you know the idea,
I just think it was better just knowing that neo, no one with next door,
yeah, but the band was next door. Oh that he wasn't in charge of the place. Would you say why is the band? I can't hear myself talking because they're playing a beatles song- oh upstairs yeah. Well, that's only on mondays, okay!
it still great it still. You still
get me in those rooms. They don't change. They just it's better. Now, aisy rooms, now not at all,
I thought that's great about at the original room it
yeah, but how many joy or the original murmured the comedy store is like I don't. I have no fear of it.
No fear, but it's not easy. No, but it's easy for me now and like there. I think that some some part of it has to do with, and I've used to talk about the store like this too yeah, like what
go back to new york and I go into the cellar there's. Some parties like this is where the abuse happened.
Hurray it's in your head, the average europe have you who is the abusive out
we the audience? We are at least the abuser. The whole place is that the audience you're onstage in the you gotta watch the manny would run in and just why are they laughing and pacing around back and forth? In my golf fuck, you see like as these head in the hallway right now. Here we go, then your early intel would walk in and I might get out either exit I'm just trying to get through this we're sweating. Jesus fuck
the body, but that's what I'd like it's way, both those rooms there.
Comfortably uncomfortable you I mean they
he radically. They should be great. The regime there
equally, the original sour room should be easy. Structurally, it really should Leah, but there is no there's an something too will back in the day before it became like
heard this mass. You know here. It was really a strange and eclectic audience I ignore more than they were
ran it be, like you know, a table considered Jews than there be a table of your german tourists. Aways like in there
some kids even know who the fuck was year. It was always kind of weird, very know why they were there. You know a kinder. You know an end, just the now its popular noughts, it's it's! The people go, do expecting to see me.
drop in sight. The store you know yeah, but they're, just something
like I was talking to solar about it, who had never really talk to her met recently had a mine
I remember I was in new york and I just want by the seller, and I did a set in the regular room than there like,
they go to the underground, my ever done the underground walkin. It looks like a like.
A larger seller here,
but you know, but sodor went on and killed and I went on and it was just at that that old feeling of the seller came back. I started my opening. Joke is a man and then like then, I'm like. Oh, I remember this. I remember every part of this that sort of like
The vigilance- and this sort of, like you know, were guarded this you have to have a new york. He can't around it and vulnerability is not necessarily welcome. You know it
I felt I tell sorted this. Unlike you know, when
new bomb is grown comic. You know either you acknowledged, or you just sort of you'll feel that
weird sweat on your neck. Where you know like you, I d, I know they don't see it, but I know what that means. You like it.
I didn't road it out. You think, there's no for some reason that that that room- it's just you know, you're not going to turn a really one of my last bombs was upstairs me
between room that little lounge room. I don't even know what that is. If you go before you go down, the stairs would be out into the underground yeah, the like of the side, there's a little room in there where colin works out yeah his stuff like every week yeah, and he has to be the open for you,
It was his cousin wasn't around here and I went to fetch. Its bombed bombed
you get the sweating. Oh, my god was like that vulnerable. Like oh yeah, you do that all inside now you're just like. Oh my god. This is like a some sort of weird wake up, call so funny and then like. But for me, when that happens, it's like I'm, I'm I like him, I'm just starting out. I know, isn't that crazy
I mean I know like you, my body or carry me through it and like it happens in the main room at the store, sometimes really all right. Well, this is the level yeah that we're working with we're not getting out of it yeah and it's alright. I don't feel like pushing and trying to you what am I going to do, eat it. Yeah I'd rather just tell them. It's like well you're, not great yeah, and I just need to say these words. Well I mean I, I will definitely take them to task yeah. Usually
I would also like I'm not one that people like you and it takes a long time to realise that, like you know,
whatever anybody thinks whoever goes before you can fuck it up for you for at least half your said he
It's it's not like. You know like no problem, yeah, we'll just go fifteen each. You know. Sometimes you I got christ now geiger night, didn't take a hit for five minutes detroit, but I thought we were all working on new stuff yeah. Why did you just open with your closer? Well? That's why I don't like the main room as much in the store, because it's it a
looks like a real perform in space and strike a vegas show rumours, I'm so comedians get there and they feel like they. Ve got a throw fastball sure it's there,
it's almost like the room is dictating know you.
Should be julia, putting on a show as like. I just wanna work, I'm instead,
started. Asking just put me in the o r. I gotta go
Above all, you know sometimes in get loose in the main restructuring, if not totally pact or
like in also like eating, I start to realize like and then it's like, I'm nice, it's ok, if not everyone's laughing.
hundred percent ye. I type we that's the thing
there's not that switch like oh shit, I'm in trouble
A really try to kill it's not about
you just gotta stay in the saddle and then not room for the people like you and what's with that. Well,
They mean that's a great part about it too. Is you come
of a mediocre thing in the main room. Was you stuck to your gun?
trying your stuff out and then it gets to whatever and whoever was just doing their special right before you
and then you come and all the kids that are parking cards
open the door later right. Will you, who are you I was playing employed at the comic sets in the same shit, every fuckin night exam
well you're talking about before. Not all jokes is interesting because the
these old guy you when you watch argues hamilton or Tom Dresen. They kill and
and in a really starting to realize that
is a language of comedy that predates us?
I think, a lot of the audience kind of corruption
there's a rhythm to it,
and like you. Even if the jokes are not great, you know they're good enough, but
Dresen I'll get up there any like he's, got it
very kind of singular cadence, its old school, but it just kill.
Because of that is
That's the language of television comedy from the seventies, sir.
Seventies. Eighty year always went some, but the sometimes those guys,
in front of a roomful
eighteen year olds I know, and it's killing. I know it so it's so it makes me happy, but
but they didn't grow up with it.
You know what I mean. I know the area and I think that for young, something to the placing of that thing in algiers to the professionalism, I mean what the fuck you writing, or of watching by goods talk like old man and me I dont understand. I can't even
involved with tik tok, comedy enough to hate it
like you are. We regret the fact that the comedy store I finished, my son,
I come walking. I am trying to get out of there and you're sitting in the back row. So I sat down next to you for a second you, starting to being a tick duck.
We do that now, as I get things up,
but there is a very easy way to them.
I think, the I think the dress in the thing and argus there's a there's a pacing
I'm here comes there that works at just the right. There's something baked into that. People were affected that and if there is a good and you can't be terribly jokes, but they but it's
the work. I think that the like that that's the thing is like you and I do different style and like one,
when I see guys that go kaboom boom boom boom joked a joke. Yeah, there's always part of me that sort of like why I I can't why don't I do that? It's not going to sit down and write those jokes right. There is
that thing of what you see somebody in use. Why don't I do that? It is not that I'm not I'm not like. You have to write all those jokes on those the like Joe.
like that for me when they happen,
MIKE. Oh, that's one of those robia anymore it down, but it's it's one of them. So
few of those buddy. I don't do an hour drive me crazy. You know where they make
the other thing to the tick tock thing. It's funny watching my kids theory, twenty one in eighteen and
talk in social media has been around enough for that to have trend it.
Trend it out there, like my kids, will mark
comedy not stand up a comedy clips and stuff on the on tik tok, as though we like you know, uh, that's twenty ten thousand
like their less sense of late
comedy langwidere within that, is,
same thing but for their generate like they may have seen it. They now attack now right and there, like other, that that's it
a key ray, I'm tat a joke,
yeah, that's not your influence. Now this is them. I don't even know that their up to you and other just watching it digesting area and then things popular kids on
attacking our now happy there. Now,
they ve trend it out. Yeah, it's a new language, competitive yeah with their youtube to I don't like I
at times, I dont know who they are. I don't know
that guy not what's his name is what's his name
I don't even know you type is a bigger than that, given that the big guy Matt rights omar
if yeah, yeah, yeah
No, I watched five minutes of him. Doing sort of rapid fire crowd work and, unlike I
I get it yeah, you know- and I I don't, but it's like I it's.
This comes back to the thing that that used to annoy me, but there is nothing that can be done about it is that
when you and I got into it
there was no, there wasn't even bringer shows
Some did stand of new york and we thought it was weird. You know it's like you go you do the open, MIKE's figure it out. You get the ten minutes, but you know you. It was total,
the comedy club dependent or her, and we had a goal in mind, which was to be a great comment. Yeah and now she seems like in this has been going on for a long time since all the comedy since
produce shows where I work in any fuck. Just do it.
Sidney, you know like you without care.
charisma or how it necessarily anyway, quick action, guys you'll come up in our generation that were definitely not funny yet
and then he figured out just by walking into who they were. They worked out, but it just seems like there's such a premium
put on the other side
clips and I dont
and crowd work.
do crowd work, but it's like. I know all my god like why. Why are you spending a half hour doing it just so? You can get your things to put then post up, but you know they did it and-
I guess about selling tickets and nato cell big places because it caught a cot yeah. It
I am out is always that there's always that mystifying, I'm not in the same business
not everyone, nothing! I can do about. Oh, oh yeah, I was on a plane once next to em Jeff tweedy. Oh yeah
and it was after the it was during the great was the morning after the grammy zia and
it was the same, and I and I never met him before we're just chatting, and
was there thinkers and maybe staples or some in and he and we're talking? I was like katy pay
It was big that year and a couple other people and
italians. This early morning is kind of work and threw it in his hand. He was and see exactly what you just say. Yes, I dont think
in the same business anywhere
meant it isn't I've gotta guitar I've got while songs, I'm doing my thing, but it is
it's not what they're doing
We no that's absolutely true here and I think it's you know we always get out
ruffle when it comes into ares orbit. But there
always been those acts that have flourished insight.
Ah, but that's on my stage its and wet that's kind of what I do, but it's not what you give I, but I dont know like you know I I sometimes wonder why, like I've got a good
a good audience. You know him inside in on it in its it's fine, but there is
pardon me that thinks like. I should have a few more people.
Yeah, I'm not even looking I'm not looking to play in arena yeah, I don't. I don't even like playing rooms that are over two thousand, because you lose something
becomes as other thing. Yet I feel, like you know my the the
nature of my soul
my that I'm exposing cow make it all the way back into two thousand see no yoke is a different type
show you a hundred percent
that is really the sweet spot. And- and how
how insane, by the way that
complaining about that yeah.
I mean what a great career
to go around the country packing our place
is one thousand two thousand seeds of people that want to see ye who have them being like, but you know these guys are doing sick and that guy's doing an arena yeah, but there's just no way because, like honestly tom like I am not
really like other people really
and I know and I'm speaking about my life and sometimes it's fairly specific and it's not like there's not going to be a. You know an arena full of guys going to that's right, my god wow yeah, yeah sure heart of the beer sales. It's just not,
I tell you a lynn, shelton story. Yeah, I don't
have ever told I'm gonna get tokens told I was travelling.
it was like two or three specials ago, and I was trying to figure out what to do yeah. I remember you were yeah. I tell you there's no, but I remember her talking about she almost direct your special or something yeah,
Soda burg Steven Spielberg was
thinking about doing it yeah and he was like. I can't do it
you know I really love is out,
shalt, india and I was going to perform in the pacific,
west, where she was yeah, and
so he kind of sad he connected us together here and shoes came out to a club to see me here with the hopes of maybe she'll directly via my thing and am- and I was in this
honourable club, horrible club, norwich spot, it was wasn't laughs. Was it
laugh liner, what somewhere with dave- and it was It- was like poor.
When dish? Seattle is ok, ok, one, although here and it was a horrible place connected to the small and wherever having to go through this tube to get there and
It was a star and I was so sick. I had
This horrible had no voice. You know about the post,
How can you talk anymore here out of my mind, and I am and is the however set up there
playing this horrible music to begin with and
is everything that is the opposite of
and
was all like. I'm like a real artists. May I ask, is this:
There's like when rob zombie came to see me in the beginning of my career. He came to the ice house and was like a fuckin birthday.
You have to go through it who's that
it is doing with your career, Leonardo area in areas like that's gonna, think so anyway, I went up and I struggled through a sad and
I was all nicely a shitty and environments terrible and I walked.
into her car harking courage, because I was literally concerned
I wouldn't let any woman in my orbit, like just walk through this poem like marking, garage happy with this kind of scotch here, and I want you out. The other will talk, lay hidden and she was like a gazelle.
Fully past there anyways, I felt so bag zoos like she was such a coup.
kids yeah and I brought it to like a horrible environment, and I was not good that night and it was just like it was terrible, but it was a near. It was a near miss and then, and then, when I saw are with you at the comedy store.
One night yeah and she was like oh right yeah. I guess she didn't remember specifically is a horrible thing. Yeah it was. She was so sweet, so nice well look man, I mean there's, there's a liability to being cool kid too, like when I started being
there. She she was like yeah, I don't I don't. I don't like led zeppelin, I'm like how's, that, like I don't even understand what you just said and mike have you ever listened to it she's like well, it was around when I was in highschool and stuff, but I was just not that wasn't my thing, I'm like what,
We give you some words there,
within six months of the
with me she's like this. Why zepplin is our alias waiter? Of course. Of course I mean it.
It speaks for itself, but yeah. She came up in the time where you know you. There were two camp right. A lily. She's like I was your age more, a few ages, a few years younger. So when I want
high school. You know new wave or pancakes sorted just coming in so you know,
a time it was either.
Disco or rock right that had been around since the late sixties and seventies, right yeah. So that's what I grew up with, but some people avoided that, because you know they had the cure and they had myths and that kind of stuff or whatever was going on what happened in college, but it was radicalized by you, know, seventies, rock yeah and it sticks yeah, oh yeah. She was great. Yeah Lynn was great. I just I don't you know, I can't you don't
it's a few years back in its history,
it's also, weird and unfathomable, that that it just happens, but then it just
just happens, you know and inadequately range between them.
In kobe, it's like. I have no sense of timer. It's fucked up my sense of time. Oh, if fucked up everyone's
the time, but with together
through that. During that time, yeah I dont know isis. How I had I would try to do is like keeping-
shit together in, like the other loss of it, is you I think about all the time but
it just flies by man,
in general. It's weird cause, I'm gonna be sixty in I've always been the kind of person who says I guess it's not your life is in fine by,
because I that's how I felt both
when I'm now approaching sixty like this, is here now yeah it's here. This is here now and then he circled like with what what happened yeah, but it
it changed, but it's like it just becomes more than you think about how quick the last fifteen went and then you added to bright where the next fifty,
from here goes beyond our own now and the end. If you're gonna be
rational about you? I guess I got my girlfriend now is younger than me, and I, like you know through a few years ago. I'm can be like all he could.
Entered in again, you can I'm doing a bit. Onstage were now
judge
with older men dating younger, wouldn't have you want, but ultimately it's going to get to a point where I'm going to have to go like you know, you can go yeah. I understand we knew this was going to happen but, like it seems, like you've got a little juice when she sees you trying to read your pill bottle how much younger she's a thirty four, oh man,
but it said it was a guy, that's a great age yeah. She doesn't want to have kids, and here she had been there for me in the us
in fairly difficult time and and and you know it- it's evolved into something very sweet, but I know I know it's I I said something I said last night that I think is is I think it got a good laugh,
we're just riffing, you know, but I always sort of half apologize for dating younger women. You know cause I'm like I I said less. I said I'm not looking for it. I've dated women of different ages, I've dated age, appropriate I've dated
most age appropriated, exaggerated, younger, it's just random. At this point, like you, I d go. I live, you know when you talked in your act about
use the word. Mystical yeah
someone passes. He can't help but go mister.
Mr Cunha is,
a part of you with that or with your age is there. Any
that's more religious, no
you, don't you don't lean in to that part at all? No, I I don't because it's still sort of practical, I'm doing have a pretty big bit now about your passing out at the top of the hill that I hike and
and also its kind of tied in with the old trying to listen up, taylor, swift and then hearing a song on this record that you know maybe yo activated my grief but kind of care
read it in that way, the music can and playing it on open.
But there is this: you know when, when died so quickly,
You know the losses is significant because she was very charismatic per cent. Anybody's losses is significant young and it's it's is devastating. Khazars YO, it's real.
Absence yielded happens abruptly in its ino in its terrible and in the end it is sir,
oh, not unusual! Other than tragedy here you want someone tragically by, but when I passed out
this moment were like you know, when you pass out, if you ve ever passed out, no god it's like
I kind of felt it coming. I it happens because I stretch and it was like a head rush and you know what I want yet, but I went down and like
I wouldn't have known it. If I hadn't come too
here I mean like aids, just nothing right like there was nothing and
you know, and when I came to us like, oh my god, no idea,
so I'm sort of my boy. That's what it's like. Ok,
yeah. If it's just nothing, we kind of gave me some peace around heard about enough interest, and I want to project your project, souls and everything else, and I still am a sort of half mystical. I found a giant feather. You know like right in front of this door here one day as I got here yeah, but but no, but then, like you know, it's not I'm not beyond. Like my gotta look up what the significance no feather is, but you
quiet note of it like I did. Do I worked it out. You did look and, of course,
It's like it's just that's why the internet works is no sourcing. Writing.
Native americans and Michael s good here, and it means that someone still looking over, you might go that works good. Only I'm kinda feather get so that if that closer to guide, lay idea why you
as you get older, I don't think
I don't. I've always been kind of mystical.
as different, then yeah, but I was I was raised catholic and I've. Always
I had this thing of
being somewhat aware or trying to be in tune with something beyond, and
it's weird like at different stages. Ah,.
Pray, more oil or depressed
you better take more
you know what I mean. I guess there's always that thing, but I do feel
yes, I'm getting older there
is angular we're we're all going by the same
sure we all like a this- is very common. Yeah there are people kind of like start living the way I see lights start going out, yeah yeah yeah and they started theming, yeah and they're like hmm. Well, what else? What does it all mean? Yeah where we go in and all that kind of thing not in any
like I said I go out, there was a mystical, I always kind. I had that sense here
and so it hasn't become like more intense right. I don't knowledge,
I find myself reading more. I just went through all of Joseph Campbell's interviews. Our rights
you get. You got the whole spectrum of sandwiches yeah, which avail grain, but what does that tell you
The vet told me that.
They told me that I'm right that.
I'm sensing that there's something beyond that. There is another plain of something happening here. All the time so that humans, age, that humans are trying to interpret this feeling and theyve mocked it up by.
trying to nail it down into religion.
well, that's interesting because it like what I would take from the work around the mythology and start that it sort of, I guess in
and inversion of that which is humans, have always had this need to feel connected, not that that their there
close to breaking the code might later, but they need to construct.
thing bigger than themselves to find meaning
that need, I think, is generated by this week.
feeling that we have right that we're gonna die, maybe,
but me will you do to your saying at the weird feeling is like gods, presents, ended in he's, given us the puzzle or she or it,
yeah me too.
that they give him it I'm not, even though they did
is the day or that they've given okay, but yet but sorta the weird need it's like. How is it so fucking? You know fragmented and nebulous at every goddamn culture, since the beginning of humans has taken a crack at it, but there's still still nobody can do it revelation other than whatever they construct it.
be just where hearing a hum
and I wonder what is that it's gotta be something bigger and it may be areas. Let me maybe it maybe lights out when you pass out at the top of the hill and that
The hum is only present here and now in your eyes, are open right that both but the lights out things not terrible now,
going ages Draghi. You know, I think it's it's its relative to our ego die
that you know that it's good, that you can't just be nothing yep. Sure, okay, just eat a hamburger. You know like when you think that cow had a you know some other destiny. Going to me like I, I I just don't like that. This sort of separation we make
im from us and every other living organism on the goddamn planet and then like we got to have a special place right. There's gotta be a place where, where we go yeah who the fuck knows where the dogs are gone, but there's a there's, gotta be a place for it. I don't like. I have
like I don't know if uncomfortable, because, like now that, like I'm at this age- and you know- I don't have
major health problems, but, like I go to bed at night and my does it
The only thing could be yeah whenever you hear stories now, it's like. Oh, what was that guy always fifty to just drop dead. Had he been to the doctor when all the time with you in good shape, yeah he's in great shape just dropped dead. He fucked on his peloton yeah, I mean it's. I dunno I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. Are you
These were the regular. We ever the re. Your think. Why didn't he again for like seven months you have and
because I wanted to see if I could yeah, I didn't, have high cholesterol, but I just want to see if it made a difference and it did it did. I wonder if it's stuck, how much weight did you lose? I dunno,
and work announced that I don't know that I was thrown away resolute anyway, you having so when you begin, I don't know,
Bulgaria, gangway
they just sort of white, they dont, do it right and well bred. I don't see you going just needing cookies. Now I try to balance it out, but later
but I wouldn t be comfortable with with death. Yet
because like for me, those just sort of like when he was gonna, get the cats in someone's gonna have
the queen yoke. Is, I that's one thing I learned at Berlin passed away that as virtually
during covenant with everything I assumed that what happens is in the midst of all this tragedy and an extreme grief
and pain and without anyone's whatever anyone's experiencing, who
who had a relationship with her of any kind. Is that, like
It really is like what are we gonna do with this stuff? And it's it's that's rough man
because because she had a lot of the same kind of stuff, I had you shit.
Axis of like you know, if you're a keeper
things with I'm not even sure, there's a point to it, but I got boxes upstairs here, your stuff
wrote in high school within my art, stuffing like all this stuff, and I don't have any grand idea
that like or maybe it'll be bit bequeath to a colony. I area, but his own people have offered to archive it better still, my insecurity
it does any enabled me to be like yeah, you better get the stuff together like work, they opened a bob dylan centre and you know
who knows yeah yeah. So but don't you,
It's like you know. You call in family members any calling people too to sort of determined
that means and in really a lot of the stuff we
keep mean something to us. It represents something of our past something of our evolution. Maybe we think it's it's. It deserves more attention than at once got, but
Ultimately it is part of us and once that go
those unless you're, you know a grand
person of letters or something it's a box
the family members gonna go through and I gotta know witnesses yeah
we are going to do with that. I don't have any room for this. It's funny because it
its whittled down to well keep this bookmark right. Yeah sure
I guess you like. I love this one. I've heard from him by one cup from him now and I'll. Keep that thing enough yet, and that's enough, my sister has like three. I
comes from my grandmother leah, and that is enough.
Yeah. I have my grandmother's melon baller right yeah,
and that's good sure, yeah, but I don't think I don't it's like I dunno how much you know. I guess I carry a lot of that stuff. Still in my memory and you know and certainly
When are we didn't get to have what we I thought we were supposed to
in destined to have it, but I have I have stuff for hers and in an eye- and I don't even know what to do. They, like I've, been yet are going with them that, like you, know, cause right ultimately, ike.
She had people that she you
long relationships with an hour's. Wasn't that long- and I don't know- but I think at this point a few years later- it's weird. If I just sort of your comment,
shouted, though
friends of yours and I was in contact with after she passed like do you want this book,
You know my ears end. It should do that
no it's my right after I gave her mom a jack. It's me I mean I was yeah. I guess all the stuff was here and no one was coming down because it was covin. So all the stuff that she thought was important was here, read my house or in the how she had rented like its norway stuff bite,
but getting value that
thing is like look man sag its death affected me?
family and even more so when obviously work
with land but lynn, sort of prime the pump,
for the reality of of how feeding the seniors ryan
but like when sag drop dead. On my back, I what the fuck happened
like. No one knows what happened and in that the thing
it got me. The months was it does
one of us in using make he was on the road omnipresent
but just like you, knowing that this week, I again end yeah. I guess it was very shocking me, especially because he died on the road in a goddamn hotel. I now an end by a couple of things happen because it from dying is that, yes, I will
the funeral and was only hear it did not sign which you know I do.
I drive bite alla time here and here for the first few weeks and to this day like I was like
he was at home last week and now is in a box up on
that hill and I drive by it every fuckin dounia any. I can't get it ghip,
they. Just up there lay narrowly was like you know, is a new home you know, enjoying whenever
and it's really had this weird amount not lie, though, why why him more than we could have put in?
that happened with other,
Because I don't I didn't. I didn't you know really closer to him. I
no, but I felt like.
because it was surprising right
and because, like he was such a week, I'm in here
It wasn't that were really close. What I felt called after him, yeah
And ah you know- and I guess it's because, like you know I I can't remember I don't I I didn't go to like draw those funeral. I didn't go to patrice his funeral. I didn't go to you know like
these guys last earlier on. I can't remember me out we'll head
like. I don't even know what happened there, but that you have biddy wasn't like we can see that coming was too
bob. I don't got images humour, but I did go to bob's because you know it.
The generation of guys that I look up to and made maybe that was it managed, also differ. It's also where you're at when these,
it sure, and I think you know I just I think, maybe
was avoiding funerals near yeah. You know
I I don't I don't ideas too. I wouldn't go yeah.
and I had already selective now I guess that's it,
so how's. How
your wife has everything with you
What what is the experience? Good growing, these kids cause? I hear you talking about the kids yeah, the the weed and stuff and the down the hall yeah. It's it's, we kind of. Did it yeah, you did it. We did it.
We did the angry kids, their good kid there really great em.
but they don't live with me anymore. I don't have to do that.
Today and that we had
project that that twenty year
roger grove being in the house on like run
a corporation, it's now shifted its its, and you are
even ass bit out the other end we ready for it. I didn't
understand it that with the first
when she left. I was like this,

more like give us is the weight supposed to go, and I guess you then you start to look forward to you know what her wife's going to be as an arrow yeah.
Away and your life comes back
What's that look like any, I I know that people start doing comedy again, but you never left. I never got those guys that are sort of. Like my, I guess, I'll go on, the road might want to spruce up. They act a little bit just the mental
of being in your house without him
we're about anybody, but myself in the dog me.
in only one. My wife weird, but you know like there is a man
a bird in the UK

Let's, that's what's closer, doesn't mean by myself by, but but I guess, if you know that you know like a haven still, if you've ve done the best you could and they turned out.
to be level headed people that there is
that, involves that they'll take care of
so I got I imagine. The general panic like I can in my parents can even handle the item
my parents
anytime, I was out if I can be later than a certain time. Yes, that's normal,
normal, that that's why they have to go. It's like they're, like
these women now in my house here, and I have to get up early do something here. I can't be
in the asleep until your home and then they don't want to tell you when they're coming home with their women right there grown
people. Now I should have to tell you what I'm coming. You sake as its those my roommates j edgar hoover roma. It's now you just being a bad roommate idea, so you get,

The world- and you know my own fuck-
