Summary

Lewis Black has finally had enough… There’s a lot for the modern comedy icon to look back on (and look forward to) - Lewis gets to the root of where all that anger he has on stage comes from in real life (he learned some of it from watching his mom yell at the TV), and how he channels it. Dan and Lewis also walk through his career– from years of playwriting off-off-broadway, to getting big break after big break, to finally deciding to retire from a life on tour. Lewis and Dan also share stories about their brothers, and get into the spirituality of feeling someone’s presence after they’ve passed on. Don’t miss your last chance to see Lewis live on his “Goodbye Yeller Brick Road, The Final Tour.” Visit lewisblack.com for tickets and tour dates. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started. In 1795, the first tequila
0:05.7	was opened by the Cuervo family, and 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong. Family owned
0:12.6	from the start, same family, same land. Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo, the tequila that
0:18.8	invented tequila. Go to Quervo.com to shop tequila or visit a store near you.
0:23.5	Quervo, now's a good time.

0:29.2	Jersey City, New Jersey.
0:30.0	Please drink responsibly. Hello and welcome to South Beach sessions. I'm particularly excited about this one because this man is a giant, a titan in the comedy industry. You usually don't
0:56.8	get to do it for close to 40 years. Usually you age out. Something happens and it's hard to keep up,
1:03.7	but he's got his present tour, which he claims is the last one. I do not believe him.
1:07.9	Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, the final tour. You can find tickets at Lewisblack.com.
1:13.5	I want to see if some of these numbers are right, because you have done in some years
1:19.1	250 shows in a year.
1:21.9	Well, close to that, but 200.
1:23.4	Okay.
1:24.1	So if I say 40 plays, three bestselling books, 12 comedy albums, 14 specials, two
1:30.4	Grammys, what am I missing? And about 20,000 shows in a lifetime? I don't know if that,
1:37.4	what the number is, but all the other numbers were kind of around the right place. Okay,
1:42.5	what are you proudest of in there? Like if I tell you there,
