Dr. G and Mr. Reagan Talk Highlander's Iconic Soundtrack by Queen
"Do better than have Freddie Mercury, sing your songs? Well, so okay, so because the director was a, you know, it was a music video director. So we knew a lot of these guys. And he had thought about different kind of musicians to come in and do the music for. I don't think that at the time they probably didn't, I don't think they knew that queen was going to become this legendary band for all eternity. You know what I mean? When you have a popular band that exists at the time, maybe Michael Jackson or something like that, right? Occasionally you know, okay, this person's going to be considered legendary, you know, 20, 30, 40, 50 years down the line. I don't know if they knew that about Queen, but for whatever reason, they asked Queen could he do this and they were like, yeah, yeah, sure, let's do it. It seems almost like somebody today would consider that to be selling out. But if you're an artist, if you're a creative type of person, it's just a fun project to do. I would think. And they did it. It was the theme song of the TV show. So anytime you watch the TV show, you got the princes of the universe theme song at the beginning. It made you go, oh yeah, you know, back in the days when they had theme songs, you know? Oh, we're going to see people's heads get cut off the swords, you know. And my buddy Kirk, who I said is the expert on this more than I am. He absolutely loves highlander. He got into Queen because of the show. You watch the show. Love the theme song got into Queen because of that and that became one of his favorite of all time bands. And he said, and he was into kind of like, he was like 15, he was into cartoons, so he wanted to be an animator, listening to Queen, and he was like, I'm pretty sure my dad thought there was something weird up with me because I'm watching cartoons. I'm listening to Queen. But obviously, whatever their politics, they were legendary. Absolutely legendary musicians.

The Buzz Around Aaron Carter's Explosive Unpublished Memoir
"By the way, there's been a lot of talk about this unpublished book about Aaron Carter, the dead recording artist. There have been excerpts in various papers and TV shows, I was the first and only person to mention, but again, if you're not on Patreon, you wouldn't know this. That was the first and only person to mention. I mean, only today after Aaron Carr died that a guy who runs a company called rare bird books had been interviewing him for a number of years, putting this book together, Aaron's memoirs, matter of fact, my source, pleased to be Aaron's music manager doesn't get much better than that, he told me I should get in touch with the guy because there has to be some great stuff in that book. But it was far from being published. I didn't even get a chance to call the guy because the next day. There was some stories making the rounds. So the guy was already trying to publicize this book before he published it. And understand that there had to be many days when Aaron Carter spoke to this guy who was just basically tape recording the conversations and Aaron was high as a kite for many of those conversations. And whenever someone's highlight that, you are certain to get some great stuff and great controversial stuff in the book, but then, you know, you got to be careful of everything they're saying that it's not a bunch of lies, either. So it's not an enviable position. But Aaron Carter used to say that during the years he hung out with Michael Jackson. There was one inappropriate thing that Michael Jackson did to him. Everybody wanted to know this thing. And apparently it's written about in the book. And you know, Aaron Carter took back oh no, he didn't do anything inappropriate. No, Michael was great. He took it back because the people wanted to know, what did he do?

"Speaking of bullshit apologies, even Paris Jackson. Had to come up with a whole bunch of I'm sorry when she appeared on the cover of Harper's bazaar Singapore. Because some fans and some outlets out there criticized it for helping promote an organization in a country where being queer is a punishable event.

"See he says he's nice, but he's actually quite mean, really hanging yet to dry. So do you have a favorite joke joke like a street joke or a dad joke or a knock knock joke? Yes. But I don't want to tell you because James acaster told it on the show. Do it. Okay. So a guy walks into a bar and sitting at the bar is a man whose head is just a giant giant and orange, huge orange. And he sits down beside him. It's the only seat available. They're drinking side by side. They straight strike up a conversation. They have a lot in common. They're getting on famously. The night goes on, they're a little drunk. The man has a little bit more confidence. He goes, hey, dude, I don't mean to be rude, but I've got to ask you. What happened to your head? And he goes, funny story. Glad you asked, not a sensitive subject. I was walking on the beach and I stubbed my toe on this, a magic lamp. It turned out to be magic. Semitone, I rubbed it, 'cause I said, you can have three wishes. Any three things you want. And I said, wow, I guess I would like to be wealthy beyond my wildest dreams. The Genie snapped his fingers instantly a $1 billion appeared in my bank account. He was like, what's your next wish? I said, I would like I would like to find the love of my life. And then instantly, snaps his fingers, she's right there before me, where a perfect match, and we've been living harmoniously ever since. And third, and I think this is where I went wrong. I wish to have a giant orange head. And I heard that first from, I want to credit. It's a street joke that I heard it from my buddy Tom Dustin in Boston. And it truly is a, it's like such a specific register of nearly anti comedy because I think there are people that are just like, that's it. The thing? You just said the thing. Which is like, yeah, that's a very specific style. That's great. I love when that happens. It's so because those jokes work because it's like the teller knows. That is not going to be the payoff. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's similarly a story I heard at summer camp that I thought my counselor had made up. And I was like, this is the greatest genius. I have a comedic genius. This is a young George Carlin over here. And it is like a passed around kind of summer camp thing, but about a little boy who has a favorite clown, and do you know the story? It's like a long, long, long, long, long, but you tell it for 5 minutes and it's this kid is humiliated by this clown who's the biggest fan of it. He grows up ready to wreak vengeance upon this clown and like just like skewer him the way he'd been made fun of as a child and then he gets up on stage, he's a volunteer. It is his show and the culmination is just and he readies his wit and he says fuck you clown and it's like, God, it's like I remember hearing that when I was like ten years old and being like, holy shit, this is another level. There are rules that can be broken down. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is there a joke you wish you could steal? Yeah, I mean, there's so many. Go for it. I'm a big fan of other people's jokes and watching them and enjoying them. For me, I feel like once a year, I'll circle an idea that I'm just like, oh, I'm just writing Jim Gaffigan's joke about, but I want to talk about it now. His joke about watching a movie 5 years late because now that feeling is so prominent of like everybody watches all of Stranger Things in a weekend and then like four weeks later you're like, have you guys seen Stranger Things? Like, we're on to we're on to whatever the Game of Thrones prequel now. It's like, okay, fine. So I want to talk about it now as like a constant feeling. And I think I can tell this other one. My friend, Dan bulger. It was just such an incredible joke writer. Has this joke about going in for jury duty and the judge says, is there any reason you think you can't serve on this Jerry? And he says, well, you call this a house of justice, but a fully 1% of American citizens are incarcerated, mostly people of color. So it feels like we found a segregated racial weight to replicate the same systems of economic and physical, unlimited that we had under the system of slavery. So we have here isn't a house of justice at all. In fact, it is a mockery of that concept and upholds the very systems you claim to abhor. Also, I have a dentist appointment. And I got the wording wrong, but it is like this very, very accurate, lofty thing, and then also I have a dentist appointment. Is there a joke you wrote for someone that you are allowed to say that you claim? That you're like, either for a show, is there a thing that you're like, oh, I wrote that and you can say that. It could be a joke. Yeah, yeah. You wrote it, you like it. Someone else said it. Gosh, I'm trying to think of like, oh, this is so stupid. But I really, I really had a good time with this. We did a segment on crisis pregnancy centers for Last Week Tonight, and it was I co wrote it with Jill twists, and obviously a lot of other people had hands on it, but we did some of them take place in these crisis pregnancy centers like fake abortion clinics where they're basically like you come in and you're like, hey, can I get an abortion? And they're like, have you heard about the lord? And they will not give you any services abortion services. And so some of them actually take place in their mobile centers. And so we brought a van onto this stage and had Rachel dratch who had played John's mega church wife as well. And she ran this crisis pregnancy center. And it was called van parenthood. Not proud, but I do like that. It's also like borderline a bob's workers opening credit. Yes. It absolutely is like one step further than they would go. I think in terms of like, wow, they really, really said something in this opening credits sequence. And I love those. I like watch for them every week. I'm a huge bob's version. It's unbelievable. They just fly by. What is the time where Jesus and Mary made fun of you or a roast of you that you remember to this day, either for accuracy or for? God, there was one that they just like went in so hard season one. God, I'm trying to think of, I mean, mostly what happens is they will both now talk about a fictitious rampant cocaine problem that I have, which is something that cough made up about me. Who's Matt Goff is also the funniest. I'm trying to think of like the God because they really do. They'll just like, oh, you know what hurt marrow said that I seem like the kind of person who would get married at Disney World. And I was like, I'm not, but it tracks that people are like, yeah, he does seem like that.

"I go, yeah, it feels amazing. You guys should try it sometime because they've been Yankees fans. And I just remember that feeling like, okay, this is a good interview when it can, when it can be that contentious in a way that feels like the boundaries of being able to push and pull about stuff like that is really fun. And I think that's kind of their like, that's kind of like within the vocabulary of the show of that kind of pushing and pulling and me, you know, knowing when to give it back and when to take it on the channel a little bit. It might be hard for being inside it, but do you have a sense or like if you're from your perspective like what did it mean, especially as we look back on it? What did it mean for late night? What did it mean for comedy this show? What do you feel like it evolved the form beyond what you were talking about in terms of having these voices? What do you feel like they represented in terms of their comedy that felt like an evolution? I think a lot of people, you'll often see and this is like no slight against any current or former show. I think you often will see though people trying to do radically new things within that format and sometimes they work really well and are really cool and inventive and sometimes they it's just harder to pull off. But I think the way that sand Jay structures her show is like so cool and inventive and I think it like really gives it a different feel and I think like you know when Pete Holmes had a late night show instead of doing topical monologue jokes, it would be more like a chunk of stand up up top and I think people are always trying to figure out like how to make the format the host's own and I think like Jesus and marrow did that in such a cool, organic way where like it was almost the opposite of inventing where they were like, oh, we're just gonna film the thing that's happening. And so I think that like that is a real lesson for me personally at least. I don't want to, you know, I feel a little reluctant to be like this thing I worked on. Here's how it changed comedy mother fuckers. But I do think that that it taught me something about like, oh, find the thing that the people are really that you're working with are really great at and accentuate that instead of instead of this is lesson for me, not any of the other shows I mentioned instead of trying to invent like a quirky new way to do things and just assume that it's gonna work with the talent that you have. What was it like to the best your ability to describe? Like when they're on it when they are on a roll. Yeah. Like on a thing. Like what is it like to be in a room while that's happening? When it is really working, what was that like? It was incredible. I mean, so when working at Last Week Tonight, and I keep putting these t-shirts in opposition not because I feel like they're competitive against each other, not like any animosity, but just because the experiences were so strikingly different and Jesus and Merrill I think is such an outlier with how it was made, but working with John. It was such a pleasure to see the audience laugh at stuff you'd written. In the tapings, it would be really fun to see and John just like crush it. He's just like, again, a machine. And with Jesus and marrow, in the studio, there was so much stuff that they were riffing and extemporizing and the staff, the staff was a big portion of the audience. And then the last couple of years, the entire audience, basically, for almost every time. And so you would laugh because it was stuff that you hadn't heard before and hadn't worked on for a week or weeks or a day and poured over and being like, and I think this will work. You're just like, it's like being at a show. And truly, I feel like this is the mark of from a comedian, the mark of a true appreciation of a joke is laughing and then just being like, fuck you. How did you do that? And that's like, there were times where I felt that just like how fast they would lock into stuff or just them building a riff with each other that would like really go on and sometimes it would they would be talking about like the name of a newscaster in Nebraska and it would become this whole character and they would be, it would become like an improv scene and it was really just like their ability to hone in on these tiny little details and create full worlds out of them and to tie that back into stories and like the breadth and depth of their references and enthusiasm for just like goofing around and locking in with each other. It was just like really magical and then occasionally there would be this pull or this like cap run something would be like get the fuck out of here. Like I was the head writer of the show and I'd be sitting on set like fuck me, I guess. Excuse my language. Just so funny. Can you think of any behind the scenes moment that you particularly liked? Or particularly indicative of what it was like to work there is that you'd like to share. Gosh, let me thank, because there were really, it was really fun.

"Not my lover, you know what I mean? It's also like, this is not the weird part, yet. No, that's the thing you have to keep on being on. Yeah. The audience, this is like, no, this is just still setting it up. And I think to build that up more, then the end needs to get built up more too. If I'm just like, here's three minutes on Billie Jean. Yeah, it would have to be like a 45 minute story. Yeah. A real Gary Goldman goes to Trader Joe's. So you do the hands and the feet and you go, well, you say he has the hands. Did you work backwards from it? It's like an anti act out. You're like, okay, I need to capture that I know I can't do this. That was, I think, a riff on stage. He's got the hands. He's got the feet. And then I was like, oh, what am I doing? And then I had to call out, I know that I'm not doing a Michael Jackson impression right now. So that was like, I think that probably came up on stage. While I was doing it, and the audience was like, come on. Do you wish you could? Do you wish you're like, and he was doing it and then you like, truly, if you slipped into it. Yes, I mean, do I wish I was a good dancer? Yes, that is like blanket. I wish that I was a more physically graceful person. So I think an idea envy comedians that have a real fluidity of movement and move really deliberately on stage. Yeah. I mean, it's interesting because if you there is a way to do it act out wise, but it would be a fully different comedian. You'd have to like, the entire thing would have to be, I need to say everything up top and then all access. Right, and then it's like all dance and I would have to be me and then him. And for me, it's like a fairly act out bit, 'cause I do the thing about come here, come here, come here and holding up the hat and putting the hat on my head. Yeah, it is funny. You do it from his perspective, even though I believe he's taller than you, but you do him as a little guy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's much taller than me. He's like probably 6 three 6 5, like in that range. Yeah, so substantially taller than me. Dreadlocks did not look like Michael Jackson. Yeah, I think it's like it works. You talk about he's a 6 two and he has dreads and Michael Jackson's neither or whatever, but and that is funny, but it does, you will have audience members who don't know what you just have audience members who are worse. Oh, I get what the joke is. Is that Michael Jackson's skin looks like this and this guy looks like that. And it's just like, this is a different. It's just like, he's doing this impression, but there's not a lot of intrinsic Michael Jackson Ness. You mentioned that the crowd is lukewarm at best. A sad but true fact in the evening. This is not necessary of all the parts are in it. Now I'm saying it is the part where you don't, you could get to the part where he's just, yeah, you can just go and he didn't even look like that. But you set it up as a transition from the crowd as lukewarm at best. Why? I want people to feel the feeling of being in this room, which is this guy is giving a skillful performance. He's a good, he's a really good dancer, and he's got the little costume going on. And I want, I wanted to paint a more thorough picture of the ambiance of the room, which is that full attention, middling enthusiasm. And I think that's very different than people still milling around, not paying attention, or people wrapped, clapping along to the song. I wanted it to feel like not that he's bombing, but just that he's doing, he's like really going for it and people are like immensely focused and like perplexed more than anything else. It's just so funny. Knowing it's just like a room full of creative types, just being like a thing is happening in real life. Our Friends are a lot of, you know, a lot of writers, a lot of comedians, friends from home that work that are fun charming, funny people that don't work in the arts or in entertainment. And then old Jewish relatives. And so that's like the funniest part to me is just like my great aunt being like, I have no like, is this what young people do? Like, is this just like a thing now? That explains it's interesting that then you have in the album version, this is the only part that is longer, really an old version. What did you go on a big Billy Joel? And it's like, arguably one of the most strident parts of your career, you're like, I'm gonna get through these Billy Joel jokes. And it's so fun. I love having a little contentiousness to the audience, 'cause on the special, there's like one moment of that where I refer to an affliction of the very wealthy being pied a terrible. And then I yell at the audience. I was like, don't cheat. I'm gonna move towards that inclination if you like that. So don't encourage you. And so which I do like and as like a trope, I always have fun doing that. But this, the Billy Joel thing purely a matter of rights to clearances. I was told legally I couldn't quote Billy Joel's lyrics without commentary because the production company would not assume the legal risk. And I was, it honestly, the rights and clearances part of this special because I don't know whether other special other companies are just willing to take a higher risk liability on stuff like this. But I have this other long story that truly relies on reciting portions of the sublime version of his own cares me down. And when I got legal notes on both of these things, I was like, they were like, don't use the lyrics. And I was like, well, that's not a joke without the lyrics to the sublime song. Like the punchline is the lyrics. And so I got the legal notes relayed through my manager. And I've worked in producing late night comedy and kind of knowing how lawyers think and fair use long enough that I was like, can you please get me on the phone with their lawyer? Because I want to hash it out with them directly. And so I got on the phone with at least my lawyer and I was like, because I do think there's a fair use case to be made for these lyrics. And so, especially in the Christmas. Especially in the Christmas joke. And it was more necessary and I was like, I can buttress it with a little more non joke commentary. Like if you need me to say my thoughts on sublime in a slightly less riotous way than the jokes that I had prepared, I'm ready to do that to buffer it. And I knew that that might be the case. So my lawyer was like, they're willing to say this, then they're also, oh, the other thing was, we were like, they can't, they won't give you a firm, yes or no, until they've seen those special. So they were like, you have to do it, or if you want to do it, you have to do it knowing that it could get cut out after its film. So I was like, okay, I have to go in heavy by like ten minutes, knowing that I might lose this whole story. Yeah, because that is ten minutes. It's like you can't be like, oh, I'll just cut, it's not like a one liner. It's like a 6 and a half, 7 minute story. So I came in ready to cut that. So all that is to say, with the Billy Joel stuff, they were like, you don't really have a leg to stand

"Best thing. And these jokes exist in sort of both the album and the special, but they're a little differences, which is sort of there's one that's very silly, but I hope we get to talk about it. Well, if not, I'll bring it up. You bring up the Michael Jackson thing, and then you in the special go, I noticed this attention before you say why doesn't everyone and then also when you say like, oh, we didn't set out to have Michael Jackson impersonator. You then add, honestly, it's a phrase I was afraid to Google. Both were ads that kind of do the same type of thing, which is like, I know we're talking about Michael Jackson. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think because in a book, people are gonna finish the book and not be like, boom. You know they're gonna finish the paragraph, and I think as a doing stand up, the feeling in the room is so present and like reading the room, I think, is so such a helpful tool. And so diffusing that a little bit. It's the same as the like, we've talked about this other times, but I know what I look like. Joke, it's just like a way to call out the audience's feeling in a way that delights them. And not to go back to Barbie all the time, but I know what I should have said was nothing. Maybe the ultimate example of that being built into a set because it really is like, I know the feeling that you're having and I understand it. But this is a way to be like, and again, I say, I was afraid I was afraid to Google pure joke. It was just the guy that we hired was like, yeah, my Michael Jackson impersonator. And it was like sick. Yeah, it would be so nice if Mike says every comedian if you want, you can say I know him in three journals. He should give it to all comedians. He's like at the level of like hearing a siren outside the club and going, my rides here. It's like a public domain. I think it's so you have to say it in his cadence, but I do feel like he should allow him to get a footnote because it is so it's like the perfect thing for that and it's like he got to the best one. The other version of this, the other sort of note is in the special, which was recorded after the album doesn't have this, which is you add another disclaimer where you go, this was post rumor. Yes. Pre documentary. And you know, you've done this joke over time. This is the thing that's happened. Are you seeing like, oh, and now 2021, people, when you say the word Michael Jackson, I have to do this sort of work. I think closer to when the documentary came out, the zeitgeist around Michael Jackson was so the awareness of him in this way was so high that it felt worth addressing in a way that I bet even now I haven't done this bit in a long time. But I bet even now it would feel like people know it, but they're not in it in the same way and so I think I can kind of skate by with a little less disclaiming. Yeah. Yeah, but it was like there was a turning point when the documentary came out where I was like this feels different people. People's feeling of it is. Yeah, it's interesting because it's like you're like, I can't, I can't change it to prince. It'd be like, right, right. And I would have to invent so much. This also kind of gets at it, but I think it's one of, it's one of my favorite jokes in the joke. It's just a really well written where you say, no matter what he was going to do, you know, hold a baby, dangle a baby, backyard amusement park, zombies, whatever is unless it's the one thing. It's gonna be awesome. Which is like beautiful. It's really funny. And it's like to slide in the middle of a sentence. It's good. It feels, I think at the end of the sentence, it would have been, it's kind of a thud. And so you have to kind of keep going and then let the audience be like, oh, the one thing. Yikes. Yeah, it underlines that you are being vague. Yes. By not having at the end. And yes, and great. It's more elliptical. Was it ever at the end? Or are you always new and needed to? I think it always just felt right to be like, unless it was the one thing. It was going to be awesome. I'm now just going to list jokes, you tell me, anything changed or does this guy think I forgot? This single most memorable sentence anyone's ever spoke to me, including at this point in the evening, I do, by the way. That's been there. That was a pretty early ad. Rules. Billie G comes on. And then so I know there's an old version where there's a joke where he goes, even if my wife's name was Billie Jean. Oh yeah, it would be inappropriate. In the book you write the music choice felt inauspicious. And somehow, that didn't get in the joke version. But yeah, I think that was me trying to be like, I'm a writer. Look at me. Look at me know and words. I didn't even need spell checking. Even at that, it's so interesting because it's like, I mean, that's a few minutes into the joke. And you're like, that already is just like amazing that Billie Jean was playing it away. Incredible. In Maris still is because and again, more details than are necessary for the bit. But when he had said it, Maris very gently had been like, I guess if you have like a routine for the way you make me feel, which was already on the playlist that we'd given him. And she was like, I guess if you have something for that, that could be nice, like trying to throw him a bone. And I had just kind of given him the cream light to do whatever, but I did not think it was going to be this. And Billie Jean is not the wrongest, but very wrong. Yeah, definitely up there. But it's also like, if you said, hey, Michael Jackson impersonator at a different event. Yes. What song are you going to do? You're like, oh, the light up floor, the dance is so vivid in people's minds. And it's yeah. But for a wedding. Just like, it's the comedy choice to make. He made the choice that if I was writing it as a sketch, I would be like, and then he hits it and Billie Jean, and everyone is like, why? Yeah. They're truly is like a sketch version where this person's doing it. It's like SNL and then three people are like thinking about the lyrics of Billie Jean to go by. And just being like, what is going on at this wedding? Like, why is this? This isn't a trope. Like this isn't a guy like Elvis does weddings. Michael Jackson, the snot. Is it was this part longer where you're like doing more Billy really dining out on talking about the Billie genome at all? I think I tried it, but it was like I didn't want to do like breaking down the lyrics stuff and I think I just kind of wanted to, I think that was like as much general awareness of Billie Jean. So I think I say more of a paternity test anthem and you don't have you don't make a playlist for those of you driving in silence. And that's like, I think that gets you fired. And it's like, that's the feeling of Billie Jean. I didn't want to be like, not my lover, you know what I mean? It's also like, this is not the weird part, yet. No, that's the thing you have to keep on being on. Yeah. The audience, this is like, no, this is just still setting it up.

"I also like, I have like a very New England puritan like the jokes have to work, and I feel like that is a pressure that I feel. And it's not always external, certainly starting to stand up in Boston. There's like, dude, if they're not laughing, every 30 seconds, you're not doing the fucking job guy. And then there is also just me being like, I want to prove that I can just like hammer in this crowd with jokes and that it's not just good vibes. Yeah. I think the clearest example of what you're describing is in terms of things that change is in your book. You say what the best moment of your wedding is. Yes. You say, and then here you, it's so interesting because it is, it is almost the tone of your sentence is the same, and then instead when you're doing stand up with a joke, I think that feels like where well describe what you say in the book and talk about, I assume writing a joke that feels like maybe a person will get a glimmer of that same fact, but still get the joke. Totally. Yeah, I have the same feeling about my wedding, whether I'm writing it in a book or I'm talking about it on stage. And so, but I think the manner of conveying that feeling to other people and the texture that you get to give it in both ways. I think for better and for better, right? Like I think that it's not, oh, I'm losing a real honesty by doing it in stand up. It's like, no, I'm giving people the stand up version of this experience versus the essay version of this experience. And I think people want different things and I'm happy to deliver different things in different media. So was social security number your joke version of saying just checking in with each other. Because that is, right? That was the best. It was just getting to have this moment with marriage after everything settled down and just be like, hey, we're in this together and we made this choice and like everybody's geared to affirm that and celebrate and what a beautiful moment this is. Because that is, I think, a lovely feeling. Yeah. But I can give people the feeling and the little puncturing of like, I'm not gonna tell you what I whispered to my wife on the day we got married. That's not, that's not for you all. Yeah. It's a really interesting because I'm trying to think, I was trying to think if you could have done it. And what the story would have needed and I think there are ways you could have built to having that earnest moment, but you'd have to build the story slower and then have it ramp down to that. Yes. And that's kind of, I think that's almost for a different venue. Like I think if I also think it would be for a different kind of special. Like this special was jokes. And I think I could have structured it if I had the time and the inclination to make it more of like a piece that the emotional through line is the most important thing and the jokes are the vehicle for providing tension and delight and for delivering that emotional truth and through line. But I think it with this set. I mean, and I say this is great admiration. It's not like the way might be big Leah has built his last few hours. I went like where he's like, here's the big theme I want to explore and through jokes. I was like, here's jokes, and I'm gonna sneak in some feeling there. And I think it would have, yeah, I think it would have been more at home in a different kind of show. Yeah, yeah. I think it's always interesting with these stories of imagining a different world where you can do it differently and how you would matter. But if it's a story told for joke pacing. Yeah. Then it would just be so hard to recover from it performance wise. Just being like, and here's this truly beautiful feeling. And it's a small feeling. It's not very small. So it's hard to even get ten, you're not even getting tension out of it, but you're just gonna be like, the odds will be like, and the point of the whole thing is the second best moment, which is so explosive. So I have to kind of undersell the best moment to be like, the second best moment is a much better story, which I say. And I've also told the story at storytelling shows. And sometimes they want to give you notes before you and it's like, okay, I understand at this point how to storyteller it up a little bit. Instead of stand up comedian and I'm like, I'm Bruce Springsteen between songs. Yeah, yeah. And you kind of like, even just take down the level of the kind of manic joke rhythm and just and dig into the sincere parts a little bit more and just give that feeling one more sentence. And take thin out a couple of those jokes that undercut a little bit. The sincerity. And I know how to do that for sure. And I have done it. But because that's not the craft that I apply on stage, most of the time, like that's not, it's not something that I'm in super high demand at or in super frequent practice of. I enjoy the pleasure of the joke version. Yeah, yeah. It's so interesting because it's like essentially you would have to do like a tag that somehow makes it less funny. Yes, exactly. And that's like, sometimes they ask you to do it, right? I think you do a show like the moth, for example. And I think they don't like when it's too jokey. They like you to kind of put a trumpet mute on the little funny flourishes. And at least in the way that they don't want you to undermine the reality with bit. And I'm like, find doing that because I like bits. And that's what this hour is, right? It's like bits. And it also came together this hour came together very quickly. And it was kind of like spackling over a bunch of things I'd written a disparate times and then putting that through line on top of it. So I think it would have been tough to figure out in the time that I had to be like, what is this hour look like, top to tail? Yeah. To add that level of new one because it is when I, you know, when I talk a little bit like snidely about a storytelling thing, when people do it really well, it's really beautiful and moving. And I just like, it wasn't the project I was undertaking. And I think even if I had tried, I don't think I would have had the opportunity to do it. It's a project that if you are to undertake it, demands the amount of time and effort that you knew and did not have. So right, so when you, when you watch a show, like a sleepwalk with me, you're like, oh, there's so much consideration and the jokes are so good and the through line is so present and the feelings are so present. And it's like, I mean, he worked on that for years before filming it. You know, this is on your last album and there are a few changes, the biggest is you include your joke about bridesmaids versus groomsmen, which I was so excited. I ordered wondered if you would do that. It's one of my favorite jokes of yours. It also was a joke that just as a person who knows you, I remember seeing you do that and felt like some sort of breakthrough for you. I don't know what it is, but what did that joke mean? Where did that joke come from? And then talk about the decision to include it here. So I really love the joke. It's very fun to tell. I love doing that guy. It's so much fun. And I tried to do it in a gentle way so that I'm not saying things that are so grotesque. I don't want it to feel like this is the guy that I wish I could be. But it's so funny to be like, this so anyway, the way it came about was I was at a wedding where all the bridesmaids truly, and this is like, I try to do, I really struggle as much too strong a word, but I would say I wrestle with, I tried to, in this special, especially really add a little nuance to men do it this way when we do it that way. But it was like an observation that I have had, right? Where all the bridesmaids at this wedding give these beautiful heartfelt speeches that even though they didn't have like, they weren't like the craft of a professionally written speech. They were all so touching and sincere and thoughtful and they were so lovely and all the groomsmen, including like the groom's brother and guys he'd gone to college with. I'll just told stories where it's like, you know his parents are here, right? And his wife? Like, you're gonna say this in front of people who love and respect him and

"I was like, that rules. And I was like, oh thank God, because this could have gone many directions. He's like, I want to hear it. And I was like, yeah, man, I'll play it for you. That rules. This story is also in your book. There's lots of differences, but was that also happening at the same time where you were like, okay, I have this story. Were you also working on the book at the same time? Yes. So my, I got married in May of 2017, I sold the book, it must have been October 2017, and so it came out in 2019. So the timelines that I was doing this on stage at the same time I was working on it for the buck. Got it, yeah. So that's interesting. So then no matter what most likely the stage version influenced the book version not the other way. Yeah, I think yes, I definitely was doing it on stage before I had written it down other than for notes for stand up. And so what is writing mean for you? You have this thing happen. Yeah. Do you write this joke? What do you do to write? So I wrote down probably the tent pole moments that I wanted to head. And then the little flourishes and embellishments that are fun. And also the way it turns out on the special is kind of nested with some other bits that I tucked in that didn't always go together. But the story about what happened in my wedding specifically was I wrote down the kind of tentpole moments this is how I usually operate with something like that. And then I'm like, okay, I want to try it on stage, I often overwrite, and then I'll try it on stage and be like, okay, these three beats out of ten worked and now it like accordions shot and then I fill it back out and it accordions back to maybe like, you know, if it's ten beats down to four and then back up to 6. Yeah, you're like, oh, maybe this is a beat. And you're like, oh, people that you're not interested in. This doesn't hit or yeah, this thing I thought would be really funny doesn't resonate or kind of takes it in a different direction and makes it hard to get back on track. And then there's like, oh, this thing that I just said hit harder than I thought I can explore that more or I need something to get me from a to D so I need to kind of build that bridge. I got this advice. I think it was firsthand, but I was like eavesdropping, essentially he's driving on a conversation. Mike Kaplan was opening for Christopher Titus years and years ago at the comedy connection in Boston. That hasn't existed in over a decade. And so I was hanging out and Titus gave the advice of to do a big story on stage. What I do, he's like, what I do is I boil it down to just the essential facts that people need to know to understand the story so that I'm not wasting time with details that don't drive it in the right direction. And then I write a joke for every fact. So I wrote for John Oliver for a number of years. And that is a very similar like you want to go fact joke, fact joke, fact big joke, a couple of facts, big joke that caps it all off, right? And so that rhythm is something that is familiar to me and helpful for writing a thing like this. It's so obvious that he said that, but you're like, I think almost everyone when they're like, well, I'll just tell the story how it is. It's a funny story, and then I think there's probably versions of a comedian who would be like, I'll tell the story how I tell it when someone asked me, how was your wedding? Yes. And then they'll be like, oh, people are interested, and then I'll just sort of rip off that. I do wonder that what happened to your wedding, I'm sure before you took to the stage, people were like, how was your wedding day? You think crazy happened? Yeah. I mean, I definitely had been telling it. And I think that's part of what made it made me so excited to tell him on stage because I was excited. But people offstage don't get the bit version. They get the story of like, we accidentally had this Michael Jackson impersonator, and then sometimes they'll be like, how? And then I'll be like, this guy that and then there are more details that they get that are less funny, where I go, oh, this guy is a DJ, but he's also a dog walker and we knew him because he had walked our dog for a while. And so when we were looking for a wedding DJ, he was like, I could DJ your wedding and we were like, great. And so that is something that was not relevant to the bit, but it is relevant to the story of like, how did you meet this guy? Yeah, 'cause it's in your book starts with that part. Yes, yes, yes. And I imagine 'cause you're like, in the book, it's partly the story of your wedding. Right? And this is. And this is a comedy story of the second best thing that happened to us. Yeah. Which is like a slightly different thing, but is that all the reason, how do you think about the decision of like, well, in the book, it needs this, and this is just a question of how you see the different types of storytelling. Well, I think the book for what I wanted from the book, I wanted there to feel a little bit more emotional depth and a little bit more factual honesty. I think in essay writing, I play a little less fast and loose with certain details than I would do collapsing time, et cetera, for a stand up bit where it's like, I don't feel like I'm misleading the audience as much as I am like honing the bit to be more effective. And the little practical factual discrepancies are like, that's the cost of doing business. And in the book, I really was shooting for a kind of sincerity and depth that sometimes falls by the wayside in stand up because when I'm doing stand up, it's at clubs in the city, clubs in the road, and it has to work, and I don't have, I think, like, a big enough following. And I also like, I have like a very New England puritan like the jokes have to work, and I feel

So for my best friend's birthday, doctor Michaela sarno, she turned 50 and so I surprised her and flew the two of us to Las Vegas last weekend, and we went and saw the Michael Jackson one show. Now I did an episode of Patreon. If you're a Patreon member, you know what I'm talking about. It was interesting. So we told the story, she told the story of being set on fire in her office building and how she ended up in the burn unit, and this is in 2015, and it's this crazy story and she basically almost lost her life, but it taught her so much about just life and she had such an incredible perspective on it. And of course, she's one of the funniest people I know. So she found so many ways to make this horrific experience kind of funny and especially in retelling the story. So if you're on Patreon, the one question that kept coming up over and over again, 'cause I guess we didn't really answer it. It's a two parter. So if you haven't listened to it in your Patreon member, it's on the $5 level. You should check it out. But I wanted to just answer this question that anyone would have. This makes sense even if you haven't listened to Patreon. So in the part two, we talked about what happened basically after she was in the burn unit and then how the pain medications really messed up her digestion system and resulted in her having diverticulitis, and that was end up kind of being a funny story, but while we're telling this funny story, we were doing so from the hotel room in Las Vegas. And I just want to give everybody an update because we were doing it from the hotel room in Las Vegas and at the same time I was walking her through her first set of lashify lashes..

Maybe you wouldn't expect me to be as a rock guitarist to be. You know jumping towards this particular album but the title track survivor. Which you've heard on the radio. A lot is a great fine crafted pop song with beyond say and and the team there providing that three part vocal delivery they do so well there was a it was a michael jackson tribute tv show. That came out in two thousand one when destiny's child was kind of a relatively new act and they did a live version of boot delicious. Which with real guitars at three guitar players and drummer and you know porn section. And they of course the beginning of that song has that stevie nicks edge of seventeen a guitar part that they lifted but they played it so raw. Live and i remember watching beyond say looking at michael jackson taunting in nevada to boot. Alicia vol bang right adam. And he's kind of taken aback. Oh beyond say it but it was. It was powerful. And all i can say is. I didn't have the album until i saw that particular cut of that special with destiny's child doing booty leashes and i thought this song pretty rock. It's it's a rock and song. Yes it's a dance song assets movement or whatever you want to say but there's a rock sensibility to it. That made me love the band and of course gone onto become a huge beyond say fan she just an amazing artist in totality. But this shows her some of her rock and best and if you followed her career at all you've seen like when she's done live shows vegas residencies whatever. She has a full band four guitars full. Everything and generally they're mostly female. She hires musicians to back her up on tour. So there's just too much not to like about this record survivor from destiny's child my number full

This one's kind of the one that doesn't work with the rest of the days but we'll get into this other ones in a second. Yes you can hashtag global beatles day today you can also plant some strawberry fields. I guess i don't know do something with lucy in the sky with diamonds. Whatever you need to do Start in two thousand nine by a beatles. Fan and Why today well. It was the day that they were on a television show on bbc. so there you go national. I'm sorry global. Beatles day yeah. They went global on this one As though it's national work from home day and here's the one that's the perfect match for that. It's take your dog to work day. See if you work from home you can take your dog to work every single day. The thing is what i'm wondering. Is this whole work from home. Thing is over for some people where they can no longer work from home. What is it going to be like for the dogs for the cats for the pets that are left behind. I know i've mentioned my chickens before. I've i've four chickens. They're going to go nuts because we let them out of the little coop thing and they just walk around the back yard all day because we're home so we don't have to worry about you. Know them wandering offer some animal come into the backyard neaten. M whatever it is. They're going to hate it if we're no longer home all day. So let's think about the pets Yeah take your dog to work today if you can. We had national. Take your cat to work day the other day. I wanted to say 'cause actually somebody message to me about that one saying well come on People take their dogs. Why can't we take our calf. Because i sort of made fun of the idea. i'm not against it. I just think your cat is against it. They want to do what they wanna do. Dogs will go along with things. Cats not so much i swear every once in a while mike catt flips me off. I know that's not possible. But i think he does anyway. Here's the other days that work out. It's a boarding day anthony. Bourdain will yeah. He hosted all kinds of various television shows. Tv chef and author yet. He was born on this day in nineteen fifty six. He died in twenty eighteen. We won't get into the details of his death but they have made today borden day. It's also national food truck day. See i can totally see him eating off of food truck. I think that would really work out and you know the thing is. There's only about twenty four thousand food trucks in the united states. I couldn't believe it. When i heard that number because i went to austin and i think i saw all twenty four thousand just in one location. There's a ton there. There's a ton up in portland. There's a ton in san francisco. There's a time probably somewhere close to where you live. I looked on cnbc and they found out the top ten food trucks like the top ten in the whole nation as if they've sampled all twenty four thousand. I think probably not but wink and mu barbecue in floral park new was the big winner. That was the number one food truck as voted by cnbc and their staff. I guess i don't know. Maybe i should work for cnbc. If you get to go sample all this food from food trucks. That would be pretty awesome. It was a barbecue place and that actually is barbecue is the top seller is far food trucks. Go and i did look at the pulled pork. Top over wink and mu and Okay good job. Cnbc look pretty good. Okay here's another two days to go together. We start with national catfish day. I could actually probably sort of blend that in with food trucks. But i don't know if there's any catfish food trucks i don't know how that would work out just a lot of storage on that so you know fitting a giant catfish per se. Wouldn't work out because i did find the record for the biggest catfish six hundred and forty six pounds. Can you believe that somebody caught a catfish. Six hundred forty six pounds nine feet long. They caught it in northern thailand. Back in two thousand and five. Can you believe that that is a huge catfish so what day goes along with catfish day. Well international day of the seafarer. Yeah so if you're a seafarer which by the way that's general term for anyone that has been tackling. The sees as opposed to a seaman. A seaman is basically somebody that has received formal training learning and certification. So anybody can become a seafarer. Well all start out of cement anyway.
