The comparative

As I was saying before, we're talking about when we're auctioning stuff, we're.

I have never taken this place for granted.

It's such a beautiful, beautiful theater.

Do you remember the first time you were on with Dave?

Yeah, I remember it being freezing cold because he liked it like a meat locker.

I remember walking across here having never met him before to, you know, to meet again while the band is playing, and

I was talking fast, and I was thinking the whole time.

I think we got into a bit of a fight at the end.

I took his questions card and started making fun of him.

And then as I was leaving, I thought, did I just have an argument with that man?

And I said to his producer as I was leaving, was that okay?

And they said, he has already forgotten that you were here.

Bear in mind, he could still see me at that point.

But it was magical, though, because of him and because of this place and what it's seen.

And that interview with Warren Zevon, we've talked about it before.

I think it's one of the most amazing moments thinking about the Beatles playing here.

The animatronic rodents that Chuck E. Cheese put on this stage when CBS sets fire to everything.

Now, you also do a residency at the Beacon Theater here in New York.

You've said the stand up stage is your favorite place in the world.

And I'm just curious, what do you get from that?

What is it you get about that that you don't get from your weekly show?

Once you're kind of making a disposable product for yourself, where you make it, it's done.

Where with stand up, you can work on it more and more and tinker with things at a much longer timeframe.

So I love it for that and I love it for the emotional calluses it gives you when.

How long did it take you to get that callous?

Because my first night on Second City professionally, our director said to us afterwards, you have to learn to love the bomb.

And meaning, not like, get through it and you'll get it better tomorrow.
