What's comedy on your mind?

About third or fourth grade, my brother showed me George Carlin's Jammin' in New York stand-up special.

In third grade?

Oh, yeah.

And I memorized the bits.

It was a wonderful influence.

It made me the man I am today, living in my mom's garage.

I memorized all the jokes that I could understand.

And then I went to school.

and like I just because their parents didn't let them watch HBO at midnight you know like and so I was the funniest kid at the lunch table and then about time they started sort of like calling me out on you know stealing the I had learned now I just had to tell my stories like a joke and so when I got in my wreck that was like the third thing that I asked or thought about was like well

No, if I can't walk anymore, I can't be a stand-up

comic.
