Episode 174: Steve Martin / Tinnitus (Part 1)

Today on a two-part episode, the guys discuss the career of legendary comedian Steve Martin. The guys start off the episode by discussing the recent documentary Steve! By Morgan Neville, which was actually released on Apple TV + as two different documentaries (Ali also gives a quick personal anecdote about Morgan Neville). At 7:50 Ali talks about Steve Martin’s accolades and then the guys discuss Steve Martin’s early interest in magic. They speak about Martin’s comedy process and how he uses logic and philosophy in his comedy act. They talk about opening for other acts and how Martin eventually decided to only be a headliner and how his gray hair helped his act. They take about his rapid ascent in the mid-late 70’s, how he was selling out arenas and stadiums and how he quit stand up at the peak, when he was the most successful stand up comic in the world.  The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.
