All right, my premium members.

How are you, premium?

Oh, right, my premium members.

How are you, premium members? So glad you're along for the

premium ride. I hope you're enjoying the very special premium content we put up

just for you guys.

Really appreciate you getting on board and love bringing you this special stuff.

What you're about to hear is kind of an unusual night. I always tell you guys sometimes I go up on

stage and I work on new material and sometimes I let the words and the material

guide me and sometimes I let my mood my energy guide me and on this night I was in a little bit of a mood

I was feeling a little bit sick I wasn't feeling well and I went up on stage and this this funny guy asked me to do like

he did like a fake talk show on stage at the Melrose Improv here in Hollywood, California.

So he said, hey, Harlan, come on up, do a little bit of stand up,

and then I'm going to have a desk and a chair set up,

and then when you finish your stand up, you just sit down and I'll do a little interview.

So I was like, sure man and you know when I agreed to it I wasn't feeling sick but the night that

it happened I wasn't feeling great and I thought well I don't

want to let the guy down so I went down I jumped up and I just kind of rambled a little

bit I got into this weird story about my dad and an injury that he had and I didn't really do any

jokes I kind of just made stuff up on the spot and then when he sat down to interview me I kind of wasn't in the mood for

answering questions about my work I don't really love talking about myself and so I

just kind of sidetracked him and started talking about owls and birds and things like that.
