| 0:00.0 | Okay, guys, I haven't moved an inch since last week. I've been sitting in this place. |
| 0:05.5 | Yeah, it's literally been two minutes. |
| 0:07.0 | If you didn't check out last week's episode, please do because I had this amazing comedian on named Yoshi, and he's still sitting across from me for this week's episode. |
| 0:19.0 | Because we just couldn't cover all the things that we need to cover. I have a feeling that you and I could just sit here all day and talk |
| 0:23.4 | though because every time I see you, we always have like the best conversations and I feel like |
| 0:28.8 | with comedians in general and specifically, I mean I've known you for as long as I've been in |
| 0:36.7 | LA pretty much. I remember meeting you like probably almost 15 years ago, I've known you for as long as I've been in LA pretty much. |
| 0:37.6 | I remember meeting you like probably almost 15 years ago, I feel like, right? |
| 0:42.1 | And something like that. |
| 0:43.2 | I moved down here in 2003, and I think I met you shortly. |
| 0:46.9 | I saw Ralphie once in Seattle. |
| 0:50.2 | I just say hello, and then I don't know what. |
| 0:54.0 | I just remember of you guys. There was some party or something then I don't know what I just remember you guys in there was some party or something I don't remember something was going at your house where everybody was there we used to throw great parties yeah all the time yeah so I got to know you and and of course I see you at Braille Ontario Improv many shows together, but it's funny because like, I feel like with comedians, there's no bullshit. Like, whenever I walk up, when you walk up to the improv and you like see something, you know, you can immediately walk up and be like, what's up, fucker? Like, it's not, there's no, not a whole lot of preamble to, we just can get down and dirty real quick and every time I see |
| 1:28.6 | you we're immediately like talking about whatever the heart of the subject is just we start from the |
| 1:32.7 | last page where we're right yeah yeah there's like a little refresher and they're like oh yeah cool |
| 1:36.3 | and it's hard to explain to somebody who's not comedian but even when I do shows and overseas |
| 1:40.7 | like um I just did five cities with Jim Norn two, three months ago. |
| 1:46.0 | Like, I was doing a bunch of shows a couple days before Jim showed up with a bunch of Norwegian |
| 1:50.0 | comedians, and everyone's doing their show in Norwegian except for me, obviously. |
| 1:55.0 | But I don't know what they're saying, but even if you don't speak the language, there's certain, like, |
| 2:00.0 | rhythm delivering jokes and how the audience react. And it's the same fucking stories, really, like, they'll tell me, like, oh, man, this booker is a jerk, or if you work at this club, you can't work, you know, it's the same, it's the same thing everywhere. We all have this common experience. Yeah, this guy steal jokes or, you know, I didn't get paid for the gig. |
