Tetragrammaton with Rick Rubin · Louis C.K. · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

The thing about standup and all performance probably, it just fills your body with, floods you with adrenaline.

And also it's this brutal thing of a show ending because you were just the center of attention for 2,500 people for like an hour.

And then suddenly they turn their, they literally turn their backs on you.

They just go home and they're together and you're not.

And it's brutal.

I never heard it expressed that way before.

Well, the things you want to do, and also you're filled with unused adrenaline, and the things that adrenaline asks you to do is soak it up with food, match it with alcohol or a stimulant, and connect with somebody, anybody.

Have a deep and inappropriately sudden connection with anybody or all people.

go out, be in a group, still keep feeling like people are looking at you, all this kind of stuff.

I'm not somebody who did stand up for validation.

That just doesn't tickle me that much.

So I'm lucky that way.

But you do all these things and then you start to feel exhausted at the club.

So you start taking more stimulants or alcohol is kind of a stimulant really.

But if you get in the car and go to the hotel, adrenaline leaves your body suddenly.

And you get in the room and you go, thank fucking Christ I came home.

And if you didn't eat or drink, you'll actually go to sleep and you'll sleep well because your stomach isn't working.

So I try to get up early and I try not to eat past six and use the daytime, go out.

But I also respect the show, like sit, take long naps, get ready, relax.

Lay still for a while.
