That sounds like a bad joke.

Maybe in the summer. I've been there too much in the cold.
I don't take part in that community shit.
If I want to smoke pot at 3:45, I'm not gonna wait around because that's when it's called for.
I also don't buy presents for people's birthdays or Christmas but I will get them presents on random days when I see something they might like.
It'd have to be somewhere in Canada. Either Toronto, Montreal, or Winnipeg.
I've only done one show in Winnipeg but it was my favorite show of that year. That crowd was absolutely on fire.
Half the time I'm in Montreal, I'm there for JFL. And that is just so much fun to be a part of, it makes the shows more fun, too.
And Toronto has a comedy scene that I've become friendly with. And they one of the 5 rooms I love more than any others, a semi secret pot room in the back of a pipe shop.
It's just born thewe.
No contest due to extremely deadly terrorist attack right at the beginning of halftime.
Oh, a shit ton.
I mean, my comedy got a little better as time moves forward but nobody was calling me at all for any dates. I'd barely ever go anywhere on my own. Maybe 3 or 4 weeks a year and most of those were at the La Jolla Comedy Store, so it almost doesn't count.
Then as his podcast started getting bigger, bookers started becoming fans and I'd get a few invitations here and there. And the numbers are always way stronger than they expected because it's an unexpected form of draw.
His crowds are VERY loyal and they've been really supportive with their presence. You would not believe the difference it makes in a crowd when even 20% of the crowd is there to see you as opposed to no one. That goodwill just flows out to the rest of the crowd. And I can get as dark as I want and I won't fear that moment where the first person has to allow himself to laugh before anyone else can.
Well, time move forward and new events take place. First I was with no hookers, then I had been with a hooker, and then more time elapsed and I had been with hookers.
I'm such a cunt.

I've seen horrible things.
The PLO is full of animals. Hammas and Fatah are known terrorist groups.
I wish there could be peace. I don't see it happening any time soon. There's a lot of hatred on both sides.
The only reason to return to the faith would be if I found a belief in God. I just don't see that happening. Firstly, because there is no God. There is no proof of God's existence. At all. Seriously. At all. And there is nothing else in my life that I will even entertain a discussion about when there's zero proof for it. And, "I or someone I know once had a crazy experience" is not a proof. That's a story. The same kind of story I hear when people are talking about psychics.
My first girlfriend, Kate Hicks. She was pretty influential on me. I spent a long, long time with her as my muse. All the jokes I'd make would be with her possible response in my head. I'd be talking to someone else, but I'd think about how she'd like the joke. She won't talk to me any more and it really bothers me.
And I don't know what a talk up is. An introduction? If it's that, I don't think I've ever gotten anything too bad. Intros are one of the things that I just don't care about. When people ask me what I want them to say about me, I often tell them to just make up a story of something we once did. I feel like even in intros it's their stage time and I shouldn't be telling them what to do with it.
President would be cool. Or former President. That could be really interesting.
A well spoken street hooker
A pimp
A pot expert. And I mean expert.
someone who is having an affair
There are probably more or different ones, but those are the first 5 that came into my mind. So it's not really answering the question but it's not really not answering the question, either.
When I marry a Jewish girl.
I don't want to get married and I find a lot of Jewish girls repulsive. So it would have to happen before I accept it as a fact.
Easier to find my podcast and trouble coordinating studio time with guests to match up to open slots.
I could never have gone 3 1/2 hours with the prostitute there. We'd have another show that would've had to come in.
It's just logistics. Nothing juicy at all. Fans want a fight sometimes, but everybody's still friends.
Something's in the works right now. They're thinking of calling it the most offensive tour in Canadian history or something like that. It's not. It's just semi-offensive to the people who get offended. But I think that's how they're going to brand it.
I love Canadian audiences. They're really well comedy educated.
Nope. I was for a little. But I support Zionism.
Linux? Are you mad? For a non-savvy person? You need everything ready to go out of the box. No installation, no updates to figure out.
Linux? How dare you.
Interesting question. I haven't done enough comedy in different countries to really form an opinion.
But based on the BBC shows that I've seen, we have to have a different sense of humor than England. Not entirely, but somewhat. I can't explain why else I hate so much of it.
Yeah, they were pretty cool. Their setup is unbelievable. I'd like to do it again next time I'm in NY.
I did know that. It sort of bothered me for a little. Mostly because I was so happy when I first got one. Now I don't really care that much.
But it's funny that it had to be nominated for deletion by more than one person. That means they had to go out of their way to offer less information to the world.
I like being on the Joe Rogan Experience a lot. And NLO and Deathsquad. Those are the only ones I've done multiple times, I think. So I guess the answer is, all podcasts.
I think he's done one.
Bombing. It sucks so bad.
I think maybe Obama. I don't have a problem with him at all but it'd be fun to do it and then turn to the cameras that must be on him and say, "What!? No repercussions, bitches! What?" Obama or maybe the Pope.
Expect $0. Seriously.
I didn't make more than 200 bucks a year off comedy for the first, maybe, 5 years. Like most comics, I've had to find other sources of income. I do commercials, and I've been on unemployment for the better part of 8 years.
Be careful. Have some savings and find a good day job that lets you take off for auditions and road gigs without too much of a problem.
That's what I've heard.
That was one of the best trips I've ever taken. So much fun. It was just the coming back to reality part that was difficult.
I feel like I just found my voice on stage within the last 6 months.
I know I've felt like that before but not like this.
