Hey, what's going on? It's Bill Burn, it's time for the Monday morning podcast for Monday, August,

fucking 27th. August 27th, what's going on? How are you? As you know, I don't have a lot of guests

on on my podcast every once in a while. I'll have someone that interests me. I'm at a leather chair.

I'm not like constantly farting here. I'm just adjusting my weight. I have one of my oldest

friends in this business. I've known this man since 1995 when we were a couple of nobody's going

around fucking New York trying to get spots. He has his name. Oh, I just introduced you.

Unbelievable comedian, Mr. Tom Popp everybody. Nice to be here, Bill. 95. That's amazing. So I was

only doing stand up for two years when we met. Is that right? You were already really good. 93. I

wasn't good. I was loud. I was loud and fast. Why remember? Joraldo Resta's soul. You used to tell me

that the way you used to stand on stage. Yeah, you were in some sort of like warrior one or warrior two.

It was sort of weird lean. I would I called it the lunge. What's the lunge? I would like lean. Yeah,

I would kind of like bend my one leg and kind of lunge that way and talk that part of the audience.

Then I would lunge the other way. Talk to him. I bet it got laughed. So yeah, I don't think they

probably like he's a character. He's doing a character. We can build a sitcom around this guy. Look

at you. He's a young guy like back then. That was the whole thing long bushy curly hair.

I'm probably about 25 pounds heavier than I am now. Oh, you heavier? Yep. And

Oh, you were partying back then? It was like my crazy. My wife calls it when she saw a tape of it.

She didn't know me back then. She saw me probably 10 years after that. And when she saw,

I don't know if you have like a good tape of you when you first started, but there's like,

they're, they're all so classic. And she saw it and said it looked like my crazy brother showed up

and came to town and started doing comedy. Your Roger Clinton showed up.

Right. I didn't kind of look Roger Clinton. This had that kind of almost a mullet. Not really.
