I knew this is where comedy was.

Goni Carson changed my life twice.

It was just like a dream. It was just like everything I had worked for

and dreamed about has come to fruition.

They said Johnny fell overlapping.

It makes me so happy.

I made him laugh.

But with Johnny, you know you knew you had a kid audience and you could really go crazy.

My wife at the curtain all held real books backstage.

People were running up and said, go back out, go back out, go back out.

Johnny, you want you back.

I walked back through the curtain very calm and Johnny, I took about

a little circle up at the finger and I I am Mark Malkoff. This week our guest is actor, comedian, artist, podcaster Tom Wilson. We met up in Encino Park in Encino, California. Some background on this episode. I gave Tom less than 24 hours notice and had to scramble for a place for us to record which is why we ended up recording in a public park.

Now at times you can definitely hear some background noise but it

doesn't take away from the episode. Be sure to stick around after the

interview to the end for bonus audio of Tom telling me a story of how Johnny gave him his

current name and now without any further ado Tom Wilson enjoy

what's up Mark how are you Wilson, it's good seeing you. I like how you talk to me like we know each other.

It's LA, man. We're very good friends now that we've met once. Can't we say that? Like when you're in LA, it's just my very good friend Jack Lemon, who I met at a lunch in, I think, you know, the late 80s or whatever. I met him once. I wanted to say nice things to him admiration everything he was talking to some

people from another country or so you know so whatever but my good friend Jack

Lemon I just want to tell the people that are listening, how much notice did they give you for this

podcast?
