John Mulaney

Whatever you have.

That's the thing about music that always made me envious, because as a stand-up, I don't think I could, you know, I can have a couple Miller Lights and go out there, but if I get good and shit-faced, I'm going to start slurring, and the jokes aren't going to work, and I'm going to lose my shit, and I feel like Jimi Hendrix could get as high as he fucking wanted, and the shit would be even better.

Yeah, pretty much.

For a while, right?

Although I have seen some Hendrix footage also where... Not so much?

I don't know what tuning he was in.

Right.

Now, when did you start?

Let's go back with Joe Walsh.

Where did it all begin?

Um...

I went to high school in Montclair, New Jersey, outside of New York.

And I played clarinet for a while, one of those horrible metal clarinets.

Just high as a kite, playing that clarinet in the marching band, beat out of your brain.

No, no, no.

Bolivian shale, 14 years old.

Yeah.

Not in step with the rest of the band.

So then I played oboe for a while.

That was pretty good.
