Summary

Comic Louis Katz was working with Marc just before the launch of WTF. In the ten years since, Louis and Marc have taken paths that are both similar and completely different. They share their experiences on the road and get into the nuts and bolts of comedy club standup, then and now, as well as the persistent East Coast-West Coast split between comedy sensibilities. Louis also talks about what it was like to have a long distance relationship when starting out in comedy and what he’s only learning about himself now after spending the past two decades working in the field. This episode is sponsored by Squarespace and SimpliSafe.

0:50.3	He-ho-on. That's where I'm at.
0:52.3	So if I sound irritable, it's because I was- I was paralyzed by some wild-bore meatballs,
1:04.3	paralyzed, incapacitated by some wild-bore meatballs into a nap that was unproductive.
1:12.3	Though I did take the nap at the time the people here in Spain seemed to take

1:25.8	I just- it's one of those naps where you take it and you're much worse off for the rest of the day for taking the nap.
1:32.8	It was a half hour. I didn't seem to have a- a choice.
1:35.9	I- something happened. We- we had a nice lunch. I had some wild-bore meatballs, some octopus,
