Fuck the game!

Alright, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers, what the fuck buddies, what the fucking ears, what the fuck adalix, what the fucksters?

How's it going? This is Mark Maren, this is WTF, I'm in a hotel room.

I'm in my hotel room studio.

At the Weston, at the Detroit airport. I don't think I'm ever gonna get into the actual city of Detroit.

I've been here three times in the past several years for one night gigs that just don't afford me the time to get in.

This is Saturday, I'm recording this, it's Monday you're here, isn't it?

I'm here to do the Royal Oak Music Theater. Let's just say it went great, why not? Let's just say it went great.

I just need to get this done because I'm traveling. It's been great, by the way, Rose Byrne is on the show today and also got a little

a little chat with Kevin Pollock about his new movie, this documentary he made,

Misery Loves Companies. It's out, it's available on VOD and iTunes. It's gonna open in select theaters, April 4th.

I'm in it, many comedians are in it.

This tour has been awesome. I was in Madison the other night and the interesting thing, I don't really want to my own horn,

but the show's good, I'm entertaining, I'm in good spirits, I'm funny.

But every once in a while, I'll just catch a pocket up on stage where things happen that just will never happen again.

Madison got that show. I know there's more in me because I'm pretty wide open and if there's warmth and if there's a good sort of flow between me and the audience,

I want nothing more than to make something happen that's never happened before. It's the best.

Right now, I'm about neck deep in that new Richard Pryor biography by Scott Saul, which is amazing.

Reading about Pryor and then having this opportunity go out and do these long sets and push the envelope with Pryor in mind,

really reading the anatomy or learning about the anatomy of his process from very early on.

This is the first time I've ever done a theater tour where we're doing places at sea around a thousand, some places are bigger.

I'm in Madison at the Barrymore Theater, sold the place out and it was just one of those nights.
