Oh, all right. Well, I mean, I have recorded this and re-recorded this and re-recorded this.

I mean, hours and hours of stuff I put down that I'm just like, ah, nah, it's either too serious or fucking,

I don't know, rambled more than this right now.

Two weeks ago I was in Perth, Western Australia. I landed. I think I spent one night there and then I got a text.

They started coming in. The Mitzi Shore had died. Mitzi Shore was the owner of the comedy store.

And she was an important person in my life.

So I decided to put together a podcast of just some memories I had with Mitzi. I had a brief encounter with her.

I spent 10 years. Ten years being a relatively close person with her.

So, um, yeah, she was big on who I am. I mean, getting her approval. I've never, I've never gone as hard after any goal as I went after gaining her approval.

I mean, nothing's close. I worked on things longer, I guess, but like nothing drove me crazy. Nothing drove me crazy like that.

I mean, I lost sleep over it. I cried over it. I lost a relationship over it.

Yeah, it was a chief drive in my comedy career was Mitzi Shore.

Listen, I'm not that sad about it. She died years ago. I'll just tell you, uh, the way I see it, when, when, when a great one goes, it's either they're still giving us their stuff or they're not.

And she wasn't. Her, her mind was barely there. Uh, her body was, was, was shaky.

She wasn't there anymore. I was just some organs that were going on. Um, that's how I felt about it.

But her organ stopped recently. So, let me tell you a little bit about her. Let me tell you a little bit about her. And then maybe you can figure out why she was important to me.

She was born in 1930, 1930, 1930. She died in 2018. Uh, I think 77. I believe her birthday was in November.

When she was, I don't know, 18, 19, 20, 21, something like that. A traveling comedian, uh, named Sammy Shore. Oh, Mitzi was just Mitzi back then. Oh, spoiler alert. Yeah.

Um, he was in town. And, uh, as I saw in an interview once, uh, when I worked in the video room, I was logging in all the videos.

I was with my jobs at the commerce store among many others. Uh, I saw an interview with.

Paulie Shore, I think, talking about that. And, uh, you know, dad came to town and then back in those days, if you knock a girl up, you have to marry her. And that's a story of Scotty.

Yeah. They hooked up. She fucked the comic.
