All of the remaining dates for the Golden Retriever of Comedy Tour are up. If you live in Boston,

we added a nine o'clock show. If you live in Philly, the tickets are there. We also got Durham,

Raleigh, February 28th, Buffalo, New York, me, Sean Murphy, Pete Ravela. What a

in show. Dan Soder.com for tickets. Thank you very much for watching the podcast. The most important is thank you for coming out to the shows. It's been so fucking fun. Do I need an intro? Should I do it? Should I do one myself? No, we don't do intros. That's what I'm saying, but I'm saying to anybody. Maybe we should do one now.

You want to try it?

Yeah, fuck it.

Why no.

Let's try an intro ready?

It's like, uh, my, my next, my next guest. I know my first guest. My first guest. Yeah, because if you see, because if it's my next guest, then I'm on second, which

what kind of a fucking loser am I?

Maybe the late night shows should die with idiots like me taking over. Maybe this is the point. I don't think they are dying. They're just turning into this. And I'm okay with that. You're okay with that because I'll say, by the way, let's work on the intro first. All right. You might have known him from his work. Many stand-up specials from the late, late show, and from one of my favorite all-time shows, the Drew Carey Show. Drew Carey Show. Thank you for saying so. A great show. Criminal. Unbelievable, right? It's criminal. It's not remembered the way it should be. Let me tell you what it did. Right made me a huge fan of every single person on the cast. There wasn't a weak spot on that show. No. You and Mimi is in the office. And then the friends. We're still pals, you know. Kathy and I, still pals. Really? Kathy is one of the best. You should have her on this podcast. I would love to have her on her. She is so funny. Yeah. She's like she's, she's the one of the best improvisers I've ever seen. Why do you think the show doesn't get remembered is one of the greatest shows of all time? Because I would argue it's up there for me and I mean this. You know, I base a show on how much I love it, by how much I want to watch it when I'm sick. Okay.

And I would say the Drew Carey show is up there with Seinfeld for me as a show that I can put on and enjoy while being in a lot of pain. Do you find that, and I found this with Seinfeld, that after all the curb your enthusiasms,

Seinfeld is even funnier. Yeah, because you realize that it's Larry, you really realize

Larry's George, which I think watching Seinfeld the first time, you just go, George isn't a real

guy. Right. But then Curb is the proof that Larry lives as George. That George is Larry.

One of the greatest regrets in my life, I was asked to do curb and for some reason I couldn't

do it. Really? Yeah. And I have no idea what the part was because it was like I just wasn't

available. But they said, we do curb and I was like, I can't. I'm not in time. I couldn't do it. When you guys were doing the Drew Carey show at ABC, who was else, who else was on the lots making stuff? ER. Crazy. With Clooney? Yeah, with Clooney. He used to play basketball every day. And he would come by and pretend that he didn't smoke so he would not smoke with Ryan Stiles at Ryan's trailer. Ryan Stiles. Again, this, the two-carriage. A giant of the improvisation. Diedrich. A giant, Diedrich Bader. He's one of the best actors in America, by the way. He has. The pants in Napoleon Dynamite. And number two. I was going to say office space

where he goes, I was going to say office space. Office space, yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe if you say something like that, you get your ass kicked. It's one of the greatest lines of all time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you never say you got a case in the Mondays? He goes, I believe you say that, you get your ass kicked. It's one of the funniest. He's a great comedy actor. He's a great actor. They're all really cool.

All of you got.

You were the complete sitcom.

The Drew Carey show was the complete sitcom.
