What is discussed at the start of this section?
What's up? How are you? I can't believe we never met each other until today. That's kind of crazy.
It's really weird.
It's kind of crazy. It was always like at the store like, Cat was here last night. I'm like, fuck. It was always two ships in the night.
Right, I would see you and not be able to get to you. Like, comedy is small, but only if you're mediocre. It's big, it's a vast, vast place.
It's vast and it's also small, because there's so few of us. And worldwide, we were talking about this the other day, there's maybe 500 of us on the planet. You know, you got to be real generous and say 500 because it's really probably about 250. Right. But legit comics, guys you want to hang out with, guys who are fun, guys who you recommend. Your number's going down.
Your number's going down.
Your number's going down. Guys you'd recommend, leave your house, get a babysitter, the number's going down. It's not a lot of people. Right. Think about the billions and billions of people on the planet. There's a little smidgen of us.
Well, as... As children, we all take to talking with ease. And so the fact that later on in your life you'd be one of the people that could say I talk for a living is an amazing honor. It's amazing. Even if you look a thousand years back.
Yeah, especially today. Did you be able to talk for a living? Oh, my God. And that's the problem also with what we do is that everybody can talk.
How do comedians view the landscape of comedy?
So they see you talking. They're like, I can do what he's doing. He's just up there talking.
And the better you do it, the easier it looks, which is part of the trap.
Yeah, it's part of the trap.
It looks like he doesn't think about what he says. He just says stuff. But you couldn't be as accurate.
No, no. And then there's hanging around with comics and getting to know about shit like they're electric Rolls Royces.
Right. Right. If Satan hits me, just know I'm hitting back immediately. You're going to know about it if I've never heard. Yeah. The electric specter.
That thing is insane. That thing's insane. Just the way the doors open up, the way the doors close when you touch the brakes. Yes.
Totally silent. For the price point, it would have to be perfect. And the whole thing is, it is. And that's what you're trying to do in any genre. You're trying to find that thing that is flawless in that genre. Right. And that's it. That's the Rolls Royce.
I've never had one of those.
Right. Well, because it's important to you that you be grounded in the important ways. So I can see you not having not had a Rolls Royce. I've had four, five.
I'm not opposed to it. It's just the idea of it to me is like, don't do that for me. You know, I'm always like, get away from that. Right, right.
Well, see, you see what I mean? Yeah, because... Because we live vicariously through these things, and it's been that way for all of humankind. I'm saying it was still like that for the Roman and his chariot. That's how he felt. That's how horsemen feel about that ride. Transportation and people have a love story.
Yeah, that's really the only object that I'm really into. Vehicles? Yeah, vehicles. I'm into mechanical vehicles. There's something about mechanical vehicles that just speak to me. I love them. I love looking at them. I love sitting in them. I love driving them. It's one of the things that people say, like, money can't buy you happiness. That's definitely true. If you're fucked up, you're not going to get happier if you get rich.
What unique experiences shape a comedian's journey?
But if you're already reasonably happy and you can afford a nice muscle car, God damn, you'll feel happier. You will feel happier.
But every time.
Every time you drive it.
So what I'm saying is when I got the 67 Chevy Camaro, I needed no other cars. I was complete. Yeah. When I got the Grand National, you couldn't tell me anything. There was nothing on the highway that was of my ilk. But I've felt that way 12, 13 times. That's what makes it real love.
Yeah, they give you real joy every time you drive them.
And you feel like... that character in that movie. Fuck yeah.
Yeah, you drive a 1970s Chevelle, you feel like John Wick.
Yeah, it's a sacred, sacred place.
