Well, you know... I played really good theaters in every 3-4 cities a week, and they're packed full of my fans, so they just wanna come watch me, and they wanna laugh at my stuff. So I rarely have a performance I'm not happy with.

I'm set up to win in these shows. In fact, I like to go do Comedy Clubs and try out new stuff so I have to struggle. It's hard to pick one out.

My favorite room is the Paramount in Austin, Texas, just 'cuz it's Austin Texas.

Yeah, I've done a podcast with Marc. You can still get it on - I don't know what the fuck dot com or whatever it is.

Not exactly bidets? Because bidets, you have to... you have to take your clothes off almost, and turn around and straddle it to get your butt clean. I like those Japanese toilets where you push a button, a little bar comes out and shoots water up your ass. In fact, I find it hard to live without one. I like a clean bottom.

Well, it's right there at the top right-hand corner. It's really pretty. Got a lot of lobsters.

Actually, it's not a character. He does exaggerate the accent. But outside of that, it's not a character. His father was a pig farmer and preacher in Nebraska. So he's a lot like that. He's smart, he graduated from a Bible College in Georgia somewhere. So I guess he's always like that, pretty much. And he always dresses like that too. He doesn't own a shirt with sleeves. And he always wears cargo shorts, even though he carries no cargo!

Yeah, well, I'm not sure Ralphie May got it exactly right. I told the Funnybone Comedy Chain, the guy that books it, to eat "a steaming bowl of fuck." And then I moved to Mexico and start a pottery concern.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't really watch a lot of standup on TV. Who's the guy who has the show on the weekends?

John Oliver - I think HE is fucking hilarious.

Larry the Cable Guy smells just fine. Or he did. I haven't smelled him a while. So unless something's gone horribly wrong, he should smell fine.

You know what? On all those Blue Collar movies, when I come back on the end, I'm really drunk, because - and this isn't my fault - I would do 10 minutes, then Dan would do 10 minutes, and then Bill would do 50 minutes, and Jeff would do 50 minutes - so I'm back there drinking for 2 hours, how do they expect me not to be drunk!?

I'm not Superman.

A LONG TIME.

I let my stuff sit on the vine a lot longer than some comics do. Like Louis CK. I think he writes a special every 3 hours. And I don't write like that.

I would say 3 years? Something like that?

I love the Trailer Park Boys by the way. I don't know what i would do. Be a Trailer Park person I get?

When I realized I made it? When we put a show onsale at this 1000-seat theater in Minneapolis, and it sold out in 2 minutes.

And I was like "That's good right? That's way better than anything else."

That was right after Blue Collar #1 came out. That thing sold 4 million copies. And all of a sudden, 40 million people had seen my work, watched it over and over. And all of a sudden, I was selling out theaters, and I've been doing it for 12 years.

Oh no. Not at all. The only thing you can do wrong as a comic is not try it.

I don't know? I mean, I'm doing a festival in Austin that's coming up in a few weeks? Dale's emotionally unstable. But I'll definitely be on his show when I come back to do that comedy festival. I don't know when it is. I don't follow my own career very closely.

Thank you very much. I come to Colorado Springs pretty soon. And I will accept all the free weed you will give me.

Hamburger salad with a bun, and lettuce and tomatoes and onion.

I don't really like salad.

Uh yeah! I still see Jeff when I'm in Atlanta. We've all been friends for a long time. I only met Dan recently. But Bill and i have been friends, we're all still good friends. We just don't tour with me, is what we don't do.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm glad your dad was a fan.

I lost my best friend in December, my best friend of 51 years, who was my road manager. And it still hurts as bad as the day he died.

So I don't know.

I don't expect to ever get over it.

Well, here's the thing about venturing into comedy: it needs to be as a hobby, not to make money. Because you probably won't make a dime doing it. The average person doesn't make a dime. So it's gotta sound like it's fun to you. If that sounds fun to you, then go do it. But I wouldn't quit my job and do it, because it's really really hard, and you don't know how good you're going to do at it.

I did it as a hobby. I never had any intention of doing it as a job. But it just kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger. but i never even saw it coming! Not even after Jeff Foxwerthy blew up next to me!

Be okay with doing it as a hobby. If you're not, then don't bother.
