I mean nothing dude dude don't like Russian plot I. I think I'll let Matt. It's going to be the most amazing show you can't do that Friday afternoon come down it tailgate all day Friday. It's not the first time can totally do an idea of the debate I have somebody that we should do. It's not the first time that a we were just talking a year. The last time we worked the last I mean I worked together we were backstage what who show is that it was in Portsmouth Hampshire yup. The summer and it wasn't now 04 right and it was the Red Sox have that great game verse the Yankees. And. Aaron snack when after a raw and the big picture you know we. He Jackson mob amendment of the EU and should be done roll back page atom TV Raleigh someone's got to go out there and it's it's one of these nick it's like you know your backstage we're trying to pay attention begin like yeah yeah knicks c'mon comic that letters and yeah. Yeah. There's an amazing quote from that game too. Varitek was asked after the game did you go after Iran on purpose any like kind of like rolled out a crick in his neck and puffed up his chest and said. We don't throw to forty hitters. An auto. Tech there are also government show Matty is you had sandals on and will remember this on an and then you. Pictures sandals off right as you got on stage she you perform bear bear well yeah with me Jimmie Don I thought it was very awkward you know I. Do you know why did that well it's I amazing memory less than a completely forgot about this ties back nick. Two earlier in the in the last week we had the fight about who's the greatest raw animal time. I was deep deep deep. And Chris Robinson in the black crows that point and he performed barefoot on a Chinese you know other Asian rock guitarist Warren saw that was my way of channeling. The stage energy neutral. That is easily. The lane and then again and cardinal comedy show to the crowds I. I just channeling right now it's well they didn't know what's over the Scott Peterson's shoes looked good twenty minutes summit bare feet I into. I don't particularly enjoy this year. He's not funny but I understand what he's going floor and it's we all know who Louise channel. Yeah these and we're staying out of that float around and you have I think get my kids' birthdays and these are the things that it had to rattling around everybody Blake has bare feet onstage and I'm owed to. What you W there's always some little quirk you remember about a comedian you know me line now let's get to my war blow ones in Connecticut. You know he. That's the word how to change you got a man who I am at home and performing anyway and in many years on hasn't changed at all in Boston comes in if it's gotten tighter. You don't mean I think when we started and we both are on the same time and every one of the all the guys and all the booms over and it was you know the great days of the eighties and the money and everything but at least there was a there was a lot of space is to go in go to open Mike night shows you go to Tuesday Wednesday columns you are 56 nights a week you know he gets going and giggles and you know you wanted Alice is much tighter it's just weekends Thursday's may be and I think. For the newer guys it's very hard to get stage time. That's weird that's the only thing that gets tighter with the aging and yeah I'm here I skews me. That's my that's where did you say that though because I would think that given the influence. That the alternative comedy scene in New York had. Affecting Los Angeles and affecting a lot of other urban markets were comedy is just exploded the proliferation of all forms of comedy has been. Incredibles like the age of upright citizens brigade and people do as unique forms in front asylum has been BL tremendous like that there would be more opportunities going to bars going to back rooms unusual and unique spaces where people wanted to comedy because. It's a hell of a lot better sometimes than just sitting at home you know via Internet. We're surges while general watching stuff on your phone and I think the whole thing too now. Is that's it you kick into an eight minutes at somewhere and crushed and get them on YouTube right next thing you know he's got a great agent and he's booked all these great venues and like I just saw the kid right hit awful yeah I think twenty years and this kid is doing finance admires WTF yeah yes it's amazing you just mentioned the words great agent because as you were saying that. Our agent super agent Tony the Tiger Burton he looks like an agent a disease that's coming from New York City Tony thank you for all you. They're based out of via Tony the Tiger and having their battle that's your name and he took the wave took off your jacket Toni and with those realized that those great. Irish fight it and I was like. Are we just reached into some bare knuckle boxing here right now hours on end the last show we'll have a lover not a player one of the guys well when it comes to a contract he's kind of a three related and a boy and a blow away.
