0:07.0 | How are you guys? Happy Monday, November 5th. Comedy from New York City, the Vagabond. |
0:14.6 | No mad. Call me what you will. How are you guys? You good today? Did you have a great |
0:21.7 | week and did you set your clock back? So funny. I just hear that over and over everywhere |
0:28.8 | you go. Set your clock. I mean most clocks go back automatic now. Like on the iPhone and |
0:36.2 | stuff. But yeah. Anyway, here we are. Great guest today. A Hall of Famer. A rock and |
0:44.8 | roll Hall of Famer is on the podcast today. And I believe he's the fourth. I had Steve |
0:51.6 | Jones, Duff McKagan, Nancy Wilson, and now Mr. David Bryan from Bond Jovey, the keyboard |
1:01.3 | God. And I don't use that word lightly. Keyboard God, he is, man. I mean, you got to think a |

2:07.4 | or the Ramones, you got to get some keyboards in there, man. It really fattens up and gives |
