go, holy shit. And so I like look at him and I look at everyone and everyone is staring at me

and is shocked. Today on the show, musician, comedian, and writer Ali Gertz talks about the car

Stay close.

Hey, this is Allie Gertz,

and you're listening to Storyworthy.

Hey! Welcome to Story Horthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm coming to you from Los Angeles, California.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the show or a new listener, welcome to the show. I am super happy you guys are here today, and I hope you enjoyed the show last week with comedian Greg Proops. Allie, do you know, Greg? Oh, my God, such a fan. He is unbelievably bright. Yes. Like, his intelligence, like, knows no bounds. Anyway, I've followed him for, like, over 20 20 years and I just got him on as a guest.

So that was super fun.

And Greg talks about traveling.

He travels extensively, not just in the States, but he does a lot of touring in Europe and in Australia.

And he's just working all the time.

Wasn't he in Star Wars? He was. He was a voice in Star Wars. Amazing. He was Bob the Builder. What? Oh my God. The entire run of the show on television, that was Greg Proops. I had no idea because I was very much a kid when that was on. I was a tiny bit too old for it, but I remember thinking,

like, oh, what is this show? I can't believe that it was voiced by someone I, like, deeply love. Yeah, that's amazing. Yeah, that's amazing. Anyway, you guys, go back, listen to Greg Proops, but not today, because today I'm here with writer. I'm going to say musician. I'm going to say comedian. Would you say comedian? Yeah. I say that too. Ali Gertz. And Ali brings forth the topic, the car accident that changed my life. And I like this topic. Not that you're on a car accident. What are you trying to say? I like a story title that is exactly what happened.

Yes. You don't know what? There's no guesswork. Yeah, I know what's going to happen. Did you know that you, well, you know you've been on Storyworthy before, but you were always my youngest guest. Oh, my God. Yeah. That's amazing. I think it's surpassed now. Now I've had on people younger than you, but when you were first on.

Oh.
