BONUS Producer Cuts - Cynthia Erivo, Mo Mandel, Steve Furey and more
Okay, Full Marin listeners.
Hi, it's Brendan, and this is Producer Cuts time.
Everything you're going to hear is from the month of November.
These were things that I had to cut out of the show for whatever reason, and on Producer Cuts, I tell you why those had to go, and then I let you hear them.
And we're going to start off with Mo Mandel from episode 1588, and if you've heard these before, you know the deal.
Sometimes the mic gets turned on, and Mark and the guest are in the
And this one, you know, Mark was kind of distracted.
He was doing something with the recording.
And Mo told, I thought, a pretty good story, but I kind of had to lose it here because it wasn't tethered to anything.
And then they actually started.
So we didn't get this into the episode, but I'm glad to bring it to you now here on the Producer Cuts.
Right.
How is it in your ears?
How's that sound?
Yeah, it sounds good.
It does, right?
Yeah.
So they fixed it, I guess?
I fixed it.
You fixed it.
I'm very limited, but it doesn't matter.
What happened?
So you were talking about how your producer, no one had told you the headphones were messed up.
So one time, me and this friend of mine, somehow we got an action movie pitch with Jason Momoa.
We get to pitch him this movie that we have idea for.
Yeah.
Right after Aquaman comes out.
So he couldn't be bigger.
Yeah.
So we're pumped up.
We're just pumping ourselves up for this pitch.
We get on, and he's on his way back from set in Alaska.
Yeah.
So he's just like, hey, what's up?
Yeah.
I love that it's just breaking up the whole time.
And his agent is also on the call, and they're not being like, hey, Jason, we can't really hear you.
No one's saying anything.
They don't want to piss him off.
So we're just having to hear his feedback to the pitch.
And we're looking at each other around the intercom, and William Morris is like, what is he?
We don't know what he's saying.
He's like, yeah.
And then my character, I'll get in there.
And then it ended like a half hour later, like,
Did he like it?
Did we get the gig?
We talked to his agent or whoever it was, and we were like, so why didn't, like, you guys heard that, right?
They're like, sounded good to us.
That was on your connection.
I'm like, no, it wasn't.
They're already blaming you.
Yeah, it was like, no one wanted to say, Aquaman, we can't hear you.
Yeah, now I'm going to be nervous about the levels.
But I think I got it.
I think I got it correct.
It sounds great.
It sounds good to you and your ears.
Well, I'm glad we solved that problem.
Thank God.
But the recording is really a bigger issue.
But it looks like it's happening.
And I'm backed up.
And I don't know, dude.
I'm tired of it.
Hold on a minute.
OK, as I mentioned, these are producer cuts from the month of November and post-election.
You know, Mark, I think he had about two episodes to kind of really say how he felt after the election happened.
And then I noticed it was just kind of bleeding into every monologue.
And, you know, we're trying to give people a break from the election stuff and the politics stuff.
I mean, obviously, it's part of Mark's life and his thoughts and his process.
But I don't think we had to keep all of this stuff in every episode.
And I listened back and I'm glad we took this out.
But I also do think that those of you who are in tune with Mark, you know, you understand him.
You might think the same things he's thinking here.
Maybe this brings you some relief or brings you some companionship, knowing that somebody else is thinking about these things.
I just thought we were now into episode 1591 with Josh Brolin, and he had plenty of time in the episodes before this to have talked about the election.
I think it was time to move on.
I cut this stuff out, but there is some funny stuff in this, and I think you'll enjoy it.
I don't know.
You know, I think that my brain is okay for a few reasons.
Maybe I should share them.
I think that I got one, at least one email.
It's so funny when you engage with...
With an email or DM or something that somehow that represents the world.
One guy, one guy emailed me to say I sound a little hopeless and that there's still so much work to be done.
Yeah, I understand.
I'm not trying to sound hopeless.
I'm just trying to kind of find a level at which I can exist in the world as it is in terms of what is happening.
But I'm trying to make a distinction between what is happening on my phone and what is happening in my life.
And I check in.
You know, the clown show has started.
But we've all been through this once before.
And I know, I know, I know.
Every time I say this, it's like, yeah, but now it's different.
Now it's there's no guardrails.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
But it is going to be what it's going to be.
It is the clown show has begun.
How people can take huge government jobs that are major responsibilities without any fucking qualifications at all is amazing to me.
It doesn't shock me that Trump would appoint or nominate a Fox News host for secretary of defense.
It doesn't surprise me.
But that guy could be like, oh, yeah, yeah, no problem.
What's he going to do on the first day of work?
So what's the coffee situation?
What do you got at pods or you got, what are we doing here?
Is there a machine?
Is there a place that orders to, can I just order it?
I mean, what is that guy going to, how would you take that job?
Christy Noem, the Homeland Security chief.
How does she just go like, yeah, thank you.
Thank you for the job.
It's like, you can't do the job.
I guess people just take jobs they can't do.
But whatever.
I'm not going to get hung up on it.
This is the clown show.
We've been through it before.
It's the clown clusterfuck of whatever's going to happen.
And I'm, look, I'm doing what I can.
I don't mean to sound hopeless or bleak, but I've got to figure out a way to wrangle my brain to exist in a mode that is not going to just be this sort of constant checking of the phone, checking of the news, dopamine jacks, followed by like horrendous pain.
Fear.
Vibes.
I'm not going to do it.
I'm not going to, you know, I don't know how much longer I'm going to fucking live.
And it's bad.
I hope that this is all worth the price of milk.
This fucking clown show and this fucking administration of pain.
You know, just thousands of families are going to be broken up.
Just wrestled or dragged out of their homes.
Oh, my God.
Christians are going to run the schools.
I mean, I hope that price of milk comes down.
That was worth it.
I hope everything was worth whatever you voted for.
Eggs are too expensive.
Hey, it's small price to pay.
The pain of thousands and the restrictions of thousands more.
I just hope those eggs come down.
Look, I'm not going to get hung up on it.
Not going to do it.
Look, man, I don't know.
Culturally, it's bad news.
You know, it's full of emboldened, unfuckable hate nerds and Nazi dorks.
I'm very scared for women.
It's going to get kind of rapey out there because all these guys who feel like they're part of some victory lap with a bunch of toxic fucks, you know, somehow think that that's going to get them laid.
It's probably not.
It just might get a little rapey out there.
So keep your wits about you.
More than usual.
I hope I can say that, but I'm going to say it.
Also, I just got, you know, a dispatch from a fan who, you know, who kind of added on to what I was saying the last episode, which I think is...
Good to think about.
Hi, Mark, longtime fan and listener here.
I'm behind on the episodes, yada, yada.
I really appreciate your opening message, November 7th.
Okay, a bit at the end about this new majority.
This new majority, quote-unquote, gave me pause.
If this new majority is referring to Trump voters, I am writing to share some good news.
They are not the majority.
And knowing that certainly has helped me.
Here are some breakdowns.
And I like these breakdowns.
Not majority of registered voters.
64.5% equals the estimated number of registered voters that turned out.
50.2% equals popular vote for Trump equates to 32.4% of voters.
48.1% equals popular vote for Harris equates 31% of voters.
66.5%, roughly the number of people in terms of registered voters that did not vote for Trump.
He did barely get a majority of the people who were registered and did vote in this particular election, but over 35% of registered voters did not this time.
Not majority of people.
And she breaks down some more numbers.
75,596,627 votes.
Trump votes, same sources above, of 348,112,568 U.S.
population source.
So that equals 21.8% of the U.S.
voted for Trump.
Well, that's kind of reassuring, right?
That 78.1% of our fellow humans did not vote for Trump.
You know, sometimes, you know, I wasn't great at math, but, you know, you ask yourself, well, how does math really factor into my life?
Well, I just got a little buzz from that.
And that's not a bad way to look at things.
I went and did comedy the other night.
I guess it was.
Was it?
No, it was the second time since the election.
Yeah.
You know, and you just, you know, I got to stay open, but I got to stay vigilant.
You know, I got to, if I get any Nazi dorks who are going to speak up or people who are going to get riled because this is their guy and they were willing to sacrifice the stability of the world for whatever reason.
So they could say words they want to say, which they could have said anyways, or because they wanted the price of meat to come down.
Willing to sacrifice the stability of the world.
Because of one issue.
I bet you they're checked out now.
Checked out.
We did it.
We did it.
All right.
And the same thing happened in the next episode.
This is episode 1592 with Cynthia Erivo.
Mark with more stuff he was thinking post-election.
And it's stuff that I thought was probably best saved for here on The Producer Cuts.
How's it feeling?
How's the trauma reprieve, post-trauma reprieve going for you?
I don't know, man.
I've just kind of pulled out.
I've kind of pulled out a bit.
Not taking in any think pieces by non thinkers.
Think pieces by people who were fucking wrong.
Think pieces by people who blame.
Think pieces by people who have big ideas about how everything should be fixed.
Think pieces.
Fuck them.
They were all wrong.
Everyone was wrong.
But look, hey, I'm living my life.
I don't know.
It's interesting talking to people how they're putting things into perspective.
There's nothing more disturbing than the peers that I know who were adamantly against Trump and paralyzed with fear about a presidency involving that guy and the way they're kind of
And rationalizing it now is like, oh, yeah, it's going to be awful.
But I think my portfolio is going to do OK.
Oh, yeah, a small price to pay the pain of thousands.
I hope that portfolio is OK.
It's a good spin.
You know, it's a nice, selfish spin.
It's right up there with I got to get out of here.
Now, look, I know that I am one of those people that.
Kind of tried to plan ahead to get a little permanent residency visa for Canada, which is not processed yet.
I don't know if it ever will, but it did buy me some peace of mind.
And it wasn't that I was going to jump ship immediately, only when I had to run.
And I hope that'll become apparent.
When do I got to run?
And then that was what that was in preparation for.
It wasn't like, well, fuck it, I'm going.
I'm not that self-centered.
But, man, hey, I might do well in the market, even though I hate what's happening.
I think that's probably the main problem with all of the side of Democrats and progressives.
Hey, it's going to be bad, but, you know, I'll probably be all right.
Right.
Yeah, wait for those books to come out.
You know, how to survive and thrive in the new authoritarian America.
Yeah, those ought to start coming out soon, right?
Yeah, I mean, probably within the next year.
Everyone's working the angle, man.
What's the angle?
Well, now is the time for some serious reflection and hand-wringing.
Day-to-day panic.
That's the work you do.
What do you got going?
I'm just staying informed and staying terrified.
Yeah.
Good times.
Now it's really time to sort of buckle down and get that work done on a local level.
Sure, it's always that time.
But, you know, treating this as just another election cycle.
Look, hey, maybe I'll be wrong.
Maybe it's just, yeah, we'll get through it.
You know, it's just another presidency.
Don't feel like that.
How to survive and thrive in the new authoritarian America.
How to learn how to do your own gardening.
How to learn how to clean your own house.
Yeah.
Now, also in that episode, 1592, Mark did a total redo of a story that he had already told.
And this happens sometimes.
Sometimes he just forgets what he's already said on the mic and what he hasn't.
Sometimes, especially he forgets if he's doing stuff on stage and he can't remember if he's done it on stage or the podcast or both or whatever.
So this is just a time for you to hear what I hear.
Mark telling a story again with minor variations.
You have already heard this story.
So don't think you're having deja vu.
Here's the interesting moment I had with Charlie the asshole.
Charlie the cat.
Charlie's my youngest.
And he's just, he is so fucking cat.
He does all the cat things, bad and good.
He's just a fucker.
But he's, you know, he's a lovable fucker.
You know, like, he's not lovable until like four in the morning.
And then all of a sudden he's on my head.
That's where he, that's the affection time for Charlie.
The rest of the day, just full on cat asshole.
But, so I had this moment.
Where, look, I like those scrunchie balls and I usually have a lot of them around, but then eventually they all disappear.
But, you know, the scrunchie balls and Charlie will actually fetch.
He'll go get it and he'll fetch it and he'll play with it.
And I like watching that cat play with a ball.
It's part of being a cat owner, enjoying watching the cat play with the ball.
But one thing I know about Charles is that no matter where in my house I play with that ball, if I take the ball out and I start playing with him, even if it's upstairs, within like seven, eight minutes, the ball will end up under the stove.
I don't know how it happens.
I don't know why it happens.
I think it might be on purpose.
This probably leans that way.
But always under the stove within, you know, eight, 10 minutes.
So I'm on my knees with the broom and the broom stick and my iPhone light.
And I'm leaning my head on the floor and trying to get the ball out from under the stove.
And I'm doing that, and I notice Charlie's just sitting there.
I had this moment where I'm like, holy shit, Charlie likes watching me play with the ball seemingly as much as I like him playing with the ball.
It was a reciprocity moment.
It was an even playing field kind of thing.
I'm like, okay, this goes both ways.
Well, I hope you're enjoying this as I tried to get the ball out from under the stove with a broomstick.
I think I'm going to hopefully, you know, the time balance is still me watching him play with the ball less than he watches me.
Not so much play with it, but retrieve it mildly, angrily.
Yeah.
And in that episode, in the talk with Cynthia Erivo, there was a little discussion about the movie Bad Times at the El Royale.
And I just felt like if you had never seen that movie, you really wouldn't know what they were talking about there.
But maybe some of you listening to this have seen that movie and you're like me and you really like that movie.
So I enjoyed hearing this stuff.
I just thought it wasn't great for a full audience.
So this right now is about a two and a half minute clip.
And it's really just for people who have seen the movie Bad Times at the El Royale.
So sorry to the rest of you, but for all you other folks out there who are like me and really like that movie, I think you'll enjoy this.
That role that you played was some amazing acting.
Thank you.
Because you had to draw from this faith idea.
Yeah.
And then, like, that monologue you give to—what's his name?
To Chris?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That—
That was like so crazy good.
Thank you.
Can I tell you a story about that?
That was not there.
That was not there.
Come on.
That was not there originally.
And I said to Drew, Drew, I just don't think she would let this.
I don't think she would let herself die without giving this man something.
Yeah.
I just don't think she would be like, okay.
Yeah.
I think she wouldn't turn to God.
I wouldn't know.
I think it's I think it's now.
I think she she's had it with everyone.
Yeah.
She's had it from everyone and she's had it with everyone.
She's sick of it.
Yeah.
She's sick of all of these men telling her what to do, what to wear, how she should be.
What have all of it?
She's over it.
Yeah.
And I think this is the final moment where I think she believes she's going to die.
And I think if she believes she's going to die, she's going to say something to this guy.
Because there's no way the last breath on earth is going to be dictated by this man.
So we have to give her something.
So I wrote a little something and I sent it to Drew.
And I was like, this is kind of the sentiment.
And he came back and gave me this speech.
And that's where it came from.
It was so good because I bet you acting that with him must have been so rewarding because, like, his face just like.
It's brilliant.
I loved it.
It was great.
Yeah.
And he knew.
Yeah.
He knew.
And the way he bounces back from it, like, he doesn't even know what to do with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it was some movie.
And that kid was good, too.
Yeah.
She was, you know.
Kaylee.
Yeah.
Sweetheart.
But that was a crazy role.
Yeah.
Mad.
I have never seen someone do a Manson girl.
It's so perfect.
And she's so young.
She's so young.
And she was really young.
And the complete opposite of that girl.
Just the sweetest little sweet.
Acted the hell out of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fun movie.
Really fun to do.
And that was the first film after all the musicals?
Yes.
OK, in the monologue from episode 1593 with Rosemary DeWitt, there was more stuff that Mark was talking about regarding the closet that he was cleaning out.
And it segued into a discussion about his episode with Bobby Althoff, which he had just recorded maybe that day, maybe the day before.
I forget.
But that interview wasn't going to be airing for several weeks.
I didn't think it was necessary to kind of like set it up here.
And if anything, it might just be a little confusing.
So I took that out.
Now the Bobby Althoff interview has aired and I figured might as well leave this here for you to listen to on the producer cuts.
Yeah.
So cleaning out the closets.
It's good.
I just got to move this stuff along.
And you know, once you get it out, once you get that shit out of your house, whatever it is, it's like the same with sort of like buying something on a certain level.
You know, once you own it, it's done.
The deed is done.
Once that stuff is gone, I'm not going to give a fuck.
And I know that.
But what am I holding on to?
I held on to a fucked up old flannel shirt that I wore on my two real special.
Look terrible.
I'm keeping clothes that I wore on television that look terrible.
I'm going to go through the suits next.
I got stuff I haven't worn in decades.
But there's this problem, man.
Sometimes I just I'm like, those boots are I haven't worn them in 15 years.
It's time to take them back out.
But you can't hold on to everything with the idea that someday you'll be like, maybe I can go back to that me and live in that world.
It's gone, baby.
It's gone.
Also, just aging in general.
I just interviewed somebody who's...
Bobby, is her name?
Yeah.
Bobby Althoff.
And it was great.
And you'll hear it eventually.
But she's in the new show business.
There is it's absolutely a new show business.
And I've spoken about it before.
It's not a show business, not a show business hinged to what I came out of.
The old school kind of TV model or however that worked.
But that's gone now.
And I realized, like, I don't know who the fuck anybody is anymore.
I don't know half the comics that are out there.
I don't know most of the music that's out there.
And I got to be okay with that.
I don't have any more room in my mind.
And I'm just not in the loop.
I only knew that stuff because I was around it.
And like, I am not going to work to find out all this stuff, to figure out new ways of doing things necessarily in terms of technology and whatever.
And it's not that I'm giving up.
It's just, I think you get to a certain point and it's okay just to...
work within the parameters of your tastes.
You know, this kind of chasing, like, you know, every, like, I got to know what this is.
I got to know who that guy is.
I got to know all this.
I don't, I'm, I just, it's amazing how much I don't keep up with.
And at some point you got to trust it.
It's not a matter of like, well, you're old.
It's like, there's no, no age difference.
to any of this shit anymore.
Everything is happening all the time.
And whatever you're trying to keep up with, it's probably a limited thing anyways.
You know what I mean?
So it's just at some point I'm like, well, what is within the parameters of what I dig?
And if I learn new stuff within those parameters, fine, but I don't have to chase whatever's new.
I don't have to chase jobs.
I don't have to chase technology.
I'm pulling out.
I'm pulling out.
I want out.
Fuck man.
I mean, I'm just like, I'm not on blue sky.
I'm barely on the old Twitter.
I just, I just promote the shows there.
And some people are like, you got to get on blue sky, get on blue.
I don't even know what it is.
I don't manage my own Instagram really anymore.
I certainly don't manage the TikTok.
But you feel like you got to have a presence, right?
And it's like, it's no hassle for me to have a presence if someone else is just posting old bits and pieces of me wearing the clothes I'm getting rid of.
The guy who wore those clothes is still alive and well on your phone.
But I just, I don't know.
And then here's the problem with being a public person, even if it's at the level on that, which is, you know, middle.
But like someone tells me, someone DMs me on Instagram, hey, there's somebody on Blue Sky posting as you.
Mark Maron at Mark Maron.
And I'm like, God damn it.
You know, now you got to manage that.
So some guy, you know, stealing your identity.
It's only a matter of time before the AI, you know, trolls are going to be out there with me talking and it's not me, but maybe they'll be wearing that.
Some of those old shirts and,
But so I had to go deal with that and have it reported.
And now I'm on Blue Sky now, Marc Maron.
I've posted nothing other than I'm here and this is the real me.
So don't be fooled by pretend me's.
But I don't know what I'm going to do over there.
I don't want it to take up any more time.
And it's not that I have better things to do with my time, but doing nothing with my time is better than sitting around thinking about what to dump into the fucking world sometimes.
Does that make sense?
I'd rather do nothing than sit around and figure out how to waste my creative energy for the thrill of the dopamine pop that
of whatever, likes, clicks, whatever.
I got it.
I got it.
I'm reeling it in people.
Okay, and finally, we have Steve Fury from episode 1595.
And this was just some loose stuff.
Clearly not stuff that would make it into the episode because just like two comics riffing.
But when this happens, sometimes they have a good, fun dynamic.
And even the stuff that gets cut is still fun to listen to.
I always think it's fun, especially when it's somebody that Mark has fun with.
But Tommy was different.
So you dealt with Tommy a little.
I never got it right.
Adam's regime started.
I kind of moved there.
Yeah, because Tommy was doing the Mitzi system and was claiming that Mitzi was guiding him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I haven't heard a single good thing about that guy.
I don't know.
I miss everything.
I really miss everything.
I don't know if it's because... What is going on?
My trackpad is low.
Jeez.
I'm going to fucking plug in the trackpad.
Do you edit this by yourself, too?
No.
No.
I got a guy, my business partner, my producer in Brooklyn.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, we're old school, though.
All audio.
You know, we're just kind of riding it out until no one listens to us at all.
I'm happy I came on The Downfall, just like the store.
Just like comedy I joined.
Yeah.
It's coming to an end.
You're on the other side of it.
Yeah, I came in.
I finally got to you.
Yeah.
I'm buying low.
Yeah.
I ran out of everybody else.
I could tell.
Started getting door guys.
No, I generally get to the store, guys.
But yeah, but Tommy, I don't know.
Fuck, I don't know what's going on there.
There was a big shake-up.
I don't even need to talk about it publicly, but fucking shit hit the fan there a few months ago, and I was like, I missed all that, because I'm in and out, usually, by like 10.
And the times I've stayed after 10, I'm like, this is a whole different place.
Yeah, well, you've always talked about it.
It turns.
It gets weirder.
Well, once Don Barris comes up with a gaggle of...
homeless people and degenerates.
Crazy people follow him like Pigpen from fucking Charlie.
He recruits them.
Yeah, he recruits them.
And then they come and go.
So once they descend on the store, it definitely gets... But I feel like there was this whole blow festival going on that I didn't know fucking anything about.
And I used to be pretty sensitive to that stuff.
It was definitely...
It was definitely a while ago.
Yeah, some people were doing a lot of it.
Yeah, but everybody must have known.
I mean, I don't know where my blowdar is, but I can't tell.
I think it would kick in at like 1130.
That's the worst time to start doing blow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I don't know.
I guess somebody thought it was the 80s again.
Yeah, and then they got that door shut on them pretty quick.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
But now it seems like it's good.
Yeah, it seems great.
Do you really feel like you got there after the downfall?
Because it seems to me like the place is doing fine.
In all truth, I think, now that I've been in L.A.
almost 10 years, I think I got there at the beginning of the comedy boom.
The new one.
The new one.
Yeah.
And it does feel a little weird right now.
Comedy does.
Comedy feels like it's going down.
Well, I mean, I think everybody like post-COVID and then like everybody, everybody was on the road.
Everybody wanted to go out and do shit.
Yeah.
Everybody was selling tickets.
Yeah.
And now like I can always tell like it's interesting.
You know, I like always get bussed on van, you know, the photographer, you know, van.
Yeah.
I'm like, how come there's no pictures of me?
I mean, what the fuck is happening?
You don't like me?
Can we just do some pictures?
Because I follow more than I used to on Instagram.
So I see the comedy store feed, and I'm like, I'm missing the whole fucking party.
Every night, look how fun it is over there.
Liz Vig is your personal photographer, though.
She be getting you good.
Yeah, but Liz is great.
She ever posted.
Yeah, she doesn't do what Van does, which is like every night makes it look like it's the most amazing place in town.
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
Like, how is anybody not going there?
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
But Liz is like, she's got a— She's like an artist.
Yeah, she's got an eye.
Yeah, it's like one picture a week, and you're like, God damn.
That's so fucking good.
Yeah, she shot the promo shot.
But I know when there's like more than one picture of Argus that it's slow week.
Yeah.
He got there early.
Vargas there just right after lunch special.
And it's just sort of like, we're the big shots.
And then I always miss the big shots.
Well, you know, a lot of guys go out to Sacramento and then they do the punchline Sacramento, which I love the club, but it's in a terrible part of Sacramento.
Dude, I've had some nights.
Terrible parts.
I've had some nights at that fucking hotel across from the mall.
You know that place?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, going up there, you're then going to go party with your buddy, the guy there, being an opener.
I was like, well, this thing's two stories high?
Yeah, yeah, two stories.
The bed's above the kitchen?
But I had some, I had like one of the best Coke nights and the worst Coke nights I've ever had there.
Holy shit.
It was one of those ones where I left the club and I took a bottle of like Cuervo.
Oh, yeah.
The whole bottle.
Yeah.
And I had someone, I got the blow delivered and I'm over in that place with my feature and
Yeah, that was the one.
If you featured there, you're like, I got a good headliner coming.
We can hang out.
Yeah, we're going to hang out.
So I hang out with Cash Levy.
Oh, yeah, I know Cash.
Right.
And it was just a whole night of me going like, well, I think it started with Pryor.
If you really think about it, you're like...
the pontificating you're changing the world yeah the headliner who's gonna lay down the history of modern stand-up and like it went on all night and i don't even know if it was crank or if it was blow yeah that's always the problem and you know you just like you're you know he crashes and i'm up and there's pre-youtube so all you got is your dick you know and you beat the hell out of that
You're not coming.
You're not hard, but you're beating the fuck out of that thing.
You fucking got to do something.
Get that heart rate down.
Just one more nut.
I can go to sleep.
I just do one more nut.
Yeah, yeah.
And you drain.
It's amazing.
You go two or three, and you wake up just ashamed of that.
Yeah.
Like, you didn't even do anything bad.
But so, like, the next day, we walk over to, what is it, Chili's over there?
Yeah, they had one.
Like, right across the street.
You know, I'm sitting there having a Bloody Mary on, you know, an hour and a half sleep.

In a jillies.
With cash.
And I'm like, you know, hey, dude, I'm sorry.
I apologize.
Yeah, I don't know what I was talking about.
Thanks for hanging out.
Don't tell anybody anything I said last night.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was crazy, man.
And then he goes, he said one of those things where he's like, no, man, I always heard about you guys on the road, you know, who live like that.
So it was kind of good for me.
And I'm like, ah, am I one of those guys?
Oh, yeah.
