Hey everyone, welcome to Come Me Now.

With Judy Gold, I am your host, Judy Gold, and I just want to say I did my first

live podcast taping. This a few days ago actually, with the one and only Al Franken,

where's my bell? Here's my bell, my bell. So it was so fucking great to be, you know,

just with an audience and being able to see him, even though my neck hurts,

because the stools at the theater were horrible that we were sitting on. But what,

what an interesting man, what an accomplished man. Part one is fantastic. And part two

is fantastic too, but we do get into the politics in part two. We do, we talk about SNL,

his time at SNL, we talk about him growing up. It was just, I mean, I have loved him forever,

you know, since 1980 when he was on Saturday Night Live and I was two years old. Anyway,

I also want to say that today when the podcast drops Tuesday is my 60th birthday and I am freaking

the fuck out that everyone's like 60s are great, 60s are great, 70s suck. But you know what,

I think 50s are great. I don't know about the 60s yet, but I can't believe I'm 60 years old

and I have to get my roots done. So yeah, this one is a tough one. It's a tough one. I can't even

believe I was ever concerned about being 30, 40 or 50. Okay. Right then. I also want to let you know

upcoming dates for me are on December 3rd. I'm in Scarsdale at the B side comedy club and they

the 7 o'clock show was sold out. There's a 9 p.m. show get your asses there. There's not a lot of

tickets. The December 14th, I'm at the Chosen Comedy Festival in Miami, Florida. The 15th,

I'm at Boca Black Box in Boca Redtown, Florida. And the 25th, I'm at Stand Up New York for a

Christmas, I think I'm doing two Christmas shows to get your asses there because you fucking hate

your family anyway. But yeah, so I'm getting ready to, you know, have to be busy in December.

But I'm also really happy about the collection. Can you fucking believe it? I mean, I can believe it.
