of near to you know, alot of comics are there, Oh they
really Yeah, yeah, it's agood like comedy, you know. Yeah,
it's a cool it's cool area.It's very quiet and stuff. That's
right. Like now, you know, I just miss having you amble on
(08:11):
into the station. I know it'salways ambling. You're roof you to just
roll in. I thought, herecomes trouble. I feel that there's the
only time I ever dropped a curseword in the hole, which is pretty
impressive. Honestly, it was.It was the big way I never did
that before. I didn't know hewent, he went full Howard stern Um.
(08:33):
But uh but yeah, I'm atlaugh Louisville's weekend. Sorry, I'm
gonna schill it again. Up,No, no take sar. We really
got to get people in tomorrow,So cancel your plans. Your family doesn't.
I know it's the first day ofsummer, but I want you to
have the worst promotional. Can wearyour bathing s into the club. Yeah,
it's gonna be a great show,a lot of great comics on it.
(08:54):
It's uh, it's it's a veryfun show. And uh, it's
a good club. It's fun,you know. All right? Um,
I saw you on Cordon Yeah,and someone told me to ask you,
is he really the jerk that everybodysaid, Oh, he got a lot
of bad pub in his last fewmonths on American TV. Well what happened?
(09:16):
He got drunk at a bar orsomething right restaurant? Yeah, and
started arguing with the help. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I
mean he didn't do that with me. Great, Yeah, and that was
a great showcase. No, hewas. He did get. It was
great. Yeah, it was agreat I had a great time and he
was very nice though. He didget and he kept on doing the show.
He was clearly once there was acat gonna get canceled. He was
(09:37):
clearly very drunk at every show.Not mine and my friend did it like
uh, my friend Caitlin poofa reallyfunny college. She did it like a
year after me, which was reallyfunny. She had a great set.
I had a great set too,but she had a great set. And
you know at the Edward, thelate night guy comes to you, shakes
her head right on national television.He shakes her head. He's got that
drunk, yelly voice. He goesbest best I had ever done on this
(10:00):
show. But any comedian shows thatout loud, way better than that chubby
jew that Carson used to be knownfor. Really taking care and promoting comics.
Yeah, Lottom got started there,which one of the late night hosts
you've been around these days is kindof in that same spirit that that supports
(10:22):
and kind of helps you with yourcareer. And um, I mean none
of them Carson with a different time, man. I mean, like I've
had fun doing I had fun doingtonight. I had fun doing like according
but like it's a different time nowback in Carson, like people watch four
TV channels, you know, soeveryone watching, So that was the old
(10:43):
thing. Like Carson, does youknow this or whatever brings you over to
the town made? Yeah, you'renot made doing I mean it's just not
it's just not that world anymore,you know what I mean. It's fun
and you'll get some followers, butlike Carson was like so huge, you
know what I mean, Yeah,because everyone maker on some of that stuff.
Yeah, it's hard to be uh, it's hard to be a kingmaker
(11:05):
now just in general, it's justeverything that's such a niche. And now
now it's at a place where likea podcast sometimes no offense tels, sworn
enemy, no no, yeah,okay, okay, all right, um,
but uh, you know that's sometimesit's even bigger, you know,
I mean, like Joe Rogan orsomething like that. The podcast YouTube ways
(11:26):
is a better way to get actI don't um some of our guys here,
um interviewed Angela Johnson, you know, and she's getting ready to do
a new comedy show like a sitcom, but it's gonna be on YouTube.
Oh wow. Yeah, And theythink that's that's a better way to get
out. But you know, that'slike how Cobra Kai started. Oh yeah,
that's a little fifteen minute vigeonets onYouTube, and then it blew up
(11:46):
to what it is now. Wellhere's the thing. I mean, I
feel that like outside of Netflix andmaybe HBO. I would I go to
YouTube for everything because anything else that'sgonna get a little buried. Yeah,
and YouTube is able to anyone.You know. I've done all my specials
on YouTube. I mean, youknow, I don't have other options,
but like they weren't like, wegotta get you on YouTube here, you
(12:11):
know what I mean. Sometimes I'llbring me up to that. They're like,
yeah, a special on YouTube.I'm like, you don't have to
say the YouTube part, like,don't get too attimidated. But this guy
was able to upload something on thesite. Everyone can upload anything on don't
get too attimidated. But this guy, you know that place where isis would
(12:31):
have beheading videos. This guy doesn'tstand up on that same site. And
do you wonder if the after thosevideos, they're like, man, only
got twenty five years and we neverget monetized. I don't know what's happening.
(13:00):
You gotta do the beheading earlier.People don't. People will watch after
the first ten seconds too. You'redoing too much of that free show.
But yeah, so that yeah,so anyway, Yeah, I've done a
buzz By special on YouTube, andI'll probably do my next special on YouTube.
(13:20):
You know, Oh my God,your shows are fantastic. Oh thanks,
I always I always have so muchfun to be in here. Go
see run On Hurstberg. He's atLaugh louis We've got a couple more minutes,
of course, yeah yeah, laughlittle dot com. We've got free

put here last year that nobody's eating. But other than that, we're a
(13:41):
little dry. That's run On Hurstberg. He's performing tonight and tomorrow. And
is that it Saturday night? Thelast show? Yeah? Just yeah,
just come Saturday one show. Ithink it's eight yeah, laugh. Louisville
dot Com is the website. We'reback in a few on news radio at
forty WHS. Comedian run On Hurstberg'sin a studio with me. He was
(14:05):
a Louisvillian for a long time atKentuckian for a long time, and then
his career took him away. Andwe've missed you. I've missed being here.
It's it's so nice to be back. Okay. You mentioned earlier that
you're you're in a story of queensin New York is or there? Like
waffle houses helped me? Is itlike because you've had a lot of good
stories from places like waffle house atthree in the morning. Do you have
(14:28):
that same opportunity where you are now? I mean, you know, it's
more like, you know, there'sthere's more like there's not a lot of
chains. I guess in the sameway there's not like you know, like
Applebee's or the Applebee's in that inTimes Square. There is. Yeah,
it's like really expensive for anyone whoneeds that. It's like a redneck embassy
or something. You had so manygreat adventures though traveling around just you know,
(14:56):
yeah the road. Yeah, I'mI'm still down the road, but
it's nicer. Yeah, it's definitelyit's definitely not as much a nightmare.
But that's a different thing two o'clockin the morning in a waffle house.
Yeah, you've you've experienced that manytimes. Yeah, well, you know
it's a story, is you know, it's it's yeah, I still have
I still know I'm still on theroad. I still have, you know,
(15:16):
waffle house. And actually I dida waffle house. I went to
a waffle house in um where itwas. I was in uh, North
Carolina, and I went to awaffle house. It was like very and
uh it was insane because I'm sobernow, and when you go to waffle
house sober, you're like, thisis an insane asile. You didn't realize
that before. No, I'm like, first of all, if if ever
(15:37):
there's a place, it's the oneplace where you're allowed to see the kitchen
in there, and it's the placewhere you don't want to see the kitchen
the most is where the kitchen isthe most visible. I'm like, they're
not following any regulations, you know. It was insane, like they were
all everyone serving. There was likeon drugs. Everyone everyone's drug it was.
(15:58):
It was it was literally like itfelt like it's saying asylum. Yeah.
I guess when you're drunk you justdon't notice apparently not No, you
think it's like the spray butter.It turns out it's formula four O nine.
It doesn't matter. When you're sober, you kind of just can't.
Your tolerance level for experiences goes down. You just can't do the same things
because it's like I can't go tolike waffle ash, I'll just you know,
get depressed. I can't go tolike a loud bar or club.
(16:22):
You just like it to be quiet. Can I ask you one a little
serious question. What happened? Wasthere a milestone moment where you said,
you know what I'm done? Youknow? Honestly, No, what happened
is my doctor told me I hadfatty liver disease, which, ah's scary
and also feels insulting, but likeyou have little whim sculeiosis, it just
(16:47):
feels like it's roasted me. ButI was like, all, I'm just
getting here to get insulted. Um. But uh, but he told me
to quit drinking, and then Igo away. I quit drinking and I
lost a bunch of weight and itwent away. And they're afraid to gain
the way back. So I didn'tdrink again, and I still gained the
way back. I just did itsober. You look good. I'm I
(17:12):
have a trainer now, Oh,I didn't hear about that. How do
you select a trainer based on whatI just I go to a gym and
they put me They put me witha Hungarian guy, And how do you
know that they know what they're doing? You know, it's actually very scary
because I also have back pain.Yeah, And you go to a trainer
(17:33):
and you're like, I have backpain. Can we go easy? And
they're like sure, but like theydon't. Hey, it's really dangerous because
you're putting you know, you're theresponsibility of your body in the hands of
someone who's probably an idiot. Thetrainer. I'm kidding, he's kidding,
he's a comedian. But the otherthing is a trainer telling you all right,
(17:55):
it's fine if you have back,this won't hurt. That's like a
guy who like, uh, smokesa lot of weed and it's like this
animal is not that strong, andthen you take like a crumb of it
and you're like on the ceiling.It's like their tallenge is different. So
I mean, like just like painall the time. It's funny when you
wait lift you feel you know,you feel manly doing it, but then
that feeling backfires because the next dayyou feel like you're on your period all
(18:18):
day. You're just like emotional andsensitive. I want to cry. I'm
aching everywhere. It's just like Ihate it, but I'm doing it so
but I hate it. So doyou have like a leg day and I'll
lead business. We're doing the wholebody each day, which is I didn't
even know that was a lot toomuch. I didn't know the lot.
I mean literally, I was likesore in my arms and we did the
same things. Two days later.I'm like, I'm already sorry. There's
(18:42):
one day I couldnot like move thenext day it's awful. And then you
don't have any liquor to go home. No, I got nothing. Yeah,
so it's it's tough. I'm justin pain. But I mean,
you know, hopefully, I don'tknow hopefully what happened after you decided to
go sober and then you're with yourfriends and they're all busting open beers and
(19:02):
martinis or whatever. You know,I don't know what happens is You're just
like I guess I don't know.Maybe it's kind of New York comedian.
I don't know, Like the peoplearound don't drink that much. I don't
know. I don't know if youjust start hanging out with people don't drink
as much. But that's it.That what it is. Yeah, I
just don't hang out with people whoget like really drunk, you know.
To be a comedian now, it'sdifferent than the in the eighties. You
had to have five minutes in amanageable coke habit, and you have your
(19:26):
own sitcom in like a week.But here you have yes, yeah,
but here you have to be likeyou have to be such a nerd these
days as a comedian, you haveto have Instagram and all this stuff.
It's hard to do it, Likeit's hard to be a party person these
days. I don't picture you asa guy on Instagram. I'm all there
all the time, post and stuff. I have to like, that's the
(19:47):
that's how you get noticed. Yeah, it's like how you get you know,
followers, and then you're you know, we're all trying to get We're
all like Jesus, we're all tryingto get followers. We're all trying to
start our own religion of narcissism.And uh, I gotta get followers.
Tell you post clips and then peoplesee it, then they come to your
show. It's like how you haveto do it. But I have to
like post clips, they have tocapture them and do all. I mean,
(20:07):
I pay someone to do it,but it's still like a lot of
work, so I can't That's whatI mean. I can't see you personally
doing that, but someone's doing itfor you. I mean, some people
are doing something, but I stillhave to do a lot of what are
you on Twitter? I'm on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok. Even though I
my friend posts from me all thatI hate it, I get flagged every
time. That's a horrible place becausethey say you said something inappropriate. Yeah,
(20:30):
I don't know. It's a weirdmixture of like it's a horrible clash
of Chinese fascism and young people's fascism. So any young person's like, I
don't like that you're talking about thistopic as a white man, so they
flag you, and then the Chinesegovernment, I guess, also flagged you.
It's actually really funny because it's reallylike certain people whatever. There's idiots
(20:52):
on both sides well, of course, but it is funny that the extreme
left in their intolerance, it's kindof working with the Chinese governments. They're
like, they're like on the samepage. They don't realize the comedy they're
making. Right. Young people arelike, this joke made me uncomfortable,
So I flagged it, and thenthe Chinese government's like agreed. You really
(21:14):
see how they come. Can Iget you a dull gray uniform? Actually
that would be good. Anything else'sclasses So you have different realities you know,
because I get flagged on there somuch just for like talking about a
topic. You know, I knowit's insane. Yeah, you know,
I'm whatever. And there's there's idiotson both sides. Of course they are,
(21:37):
but that's what makes life interesting.It's true. It's true. If
you didn't have idiots, you wouldn'thave good stories. So people will flag
things on TikTok? What are youdoing an audience when someone says I'm offended,
I'm triggered by what you just said, and you're on stage, do
you just go on? I mean, I haven't. I don't get that
too much. I've had people belike I had that once. I was
doing like a Holocaust joke and someone'slike, that's not funny, they said
(21:59):
out loud. I'm like, Ithink they were Jewish, and I was
Jewish, so it was like areal showdown what I do now though,
If I do like a joke,you know, I make fun of anything.
You know, if it's a goodjoke, I'll do a good joke.
If I do something about holocoast orsomething and the audience tightens up,
I'll start yelling at them saying,you know, I have a lot of
trauma from this stuff and you're notlaughing if preventing me releasing good move what
(22:23):
happens on TV shows they say,let me see everything you're doing. Yeah,
it's hard to do anything remotely.It's like somebody is the Chinese government
backstage and a TV show, wellTV show, it's like it's you know,
it's ad advertisers and YouTube. Imean, you can't say anything remotely
on Foulon. You can't. Imean, one time I remember the email
(22:44):
mail Foulon. They're like, youcan't do any jokes making fun of other
people or yourself, and I'm like, that's pretty much what comedy is.
So it's literally the two options.It's easy helping, literally the two options,
you know. But yeah, Imean, look, I don't mind.
You know. I also hate thosecomics who look, you can say
anything these days because it's like youcan, of course, And honestly,
(23:10):
big part of comedy is dealing withtension and relieving it. So if there's
more tension in the crowd, it'smore relief to gout, you know what
I mean. But I do like, um it is it is. I
do get annoyed when people aren't laughingbecause it's just a topic that they think
I can't make fun of. Becausethen you're like, well, now you're
just insulting comedy because you're saying comedycan't deal with bigger issues. You know
(23:33):
what I mean? Now I'm insulted. Of course I cancel you. Let's
all just do this via zoom.But the worst thing was comedy, isn't
That isn't I'm offended. It's justpeople on their phone in front of you.
I had a woman on the phonein front of me in the front
row yesterday, just on the phone, you mean talking or text like texting.
(23:55):
But still I'm like, right,I like cetera. I'm just very
honest. I'm like, look,what about the setup makes it look like
I'm not in desperate need for attention? What about this with me on stage
with the microphone and the spotlight makesme think I'm okay with someone in the
front row being on their phone.And she kept on being on her phone,
so I kept on calling around.I was nice about it, but
(24:15):
you know, you know it's ayou know, we're narcissists. I can't
like I have a microphone, I'mclearly wanting attention. What are you crazy?
You think I'm okay? Was shejust being on the phone? And
then afterwards I found out they orderedthe drinks via the phone. That's how
they do it there, so shewas not in the wrong. No,
you're gonna tell me that was theperson you'd hired to do your social media.
(24:41):
You sometimes when you call out somewhereon the phone, they always have
their reason. It is always somethingthat makes you feel bad. They're like,
oh, I was just texting howgreat you are to someone. Or
it's like, oh, my kidskids has been kidnapped and I'm trying to
It's like something I tweeted. Oneguy was tweeting and I was texting,
and I called him out. Hesaid and he said he was a doctor,
and it was like someone you knowleaving. Yeah. Then I just

(05:58):
going to surgery, but they havegiant at least in the hospital. I
was there's a giant signed like anairport, where it has everyone's name next
to the surgery and it changes theprogress like an airport. And in a
couple of them, it would justsay canceled, And I'm like, these
are people die if you die insurgery, or they're like canceled. But

really Yeah, yeah, it's agood like comedy, you know. Yeah,
it's a cool it's cool area.It's very quiet and stuff. That's
right. Like now, you know, I just miss having you amble on
(08:11):
into the station. I know it'salways ambling. You're roof you to just
roll in. I thought, herecomes trouble. I feel that there's the
only time I ever dropped a curseword in the hole, which is pretty
impressive. Honestly, it was.It was the big way I never did
that before. I didn't know hewent, he went full Howard stern Um.
(08:33):
But uh but yeah, I'm atlaugh Louisville's weekend. Sorry, I'm

got to get people in tomorrow,So cancel your plans. Your family doesn't.
I know it's the first day ofsummer, but I want you to
have the worst promotional. Can wearyour bathing s into the club. Yeah,
it's gonna be a great show,a lot of great comics on it.
(08:54):
It's uh, it's it's a veryfun show. And uh, it's
a good club. It's fun,you know. All right? Um,
I saw you on Cordon Yeah,and someone told me to ask you,
is he really the jerk that everybodysaid, Oh, he got a lot
of bad pub in his last fewmonths on American TV. Well what happened?
(09:16):
He got drunk at a bar orsomething right restaurant? Yeah, and
started arguing with the help. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I
mean he didn't do that with me. Great, Yeah, and that was
a great showcase. No, hewas. He did get. It was
great. Yeah, it was agreat I had a great time and he
was very nice though. He didget and he kept on doing the show.
He was clearly once there was acat gonna get canceled. He was
(09:37):
clearly very drunk at every show.Not mine and my friend did it like
uh, my friend Caitlin poofa reallyfunny college. She did it like a
year after me, which was reallyfunny. She had a great set.
I had a great set too,but she had a great set. And
you know at the Edward, thelate night guy comes to you, shakes
her head right on national television.He shakes her head. He's got that
drunk, yelly voice. He goesbest best I had ever done on this
(10:00):
show. But any comedian shows thatout loud, way better than that chubby
jew that Carson used to be knownfor. Really taking care and promoting comics.
Yeah, Lottom got started there,which one of the late night hosts
you've been around these days is kindof in that same spirit that that supports
(10:22):
and kind of helps you with yourcareer. And um, I mean none
of them Carson with a different time, man. I mean, like I've
had fun doing I had fun doingtonight. I had fun doing like according
but like it's a different time nowback in Carson, like people watch four
TV channels, you know, soeveryone watching, So that was the old
(10:43):
thing. Like Carson, does youknow this or whatever brings you over to
the town made? Yeah, you'renot made doing I mean it's just not
it's just not that world anymore,you know what I mean. It's fun
and you'll get some followers, butlike Carson was like so huge, you
know what I mean, Yeah,because everyone maker on some of that stuff.
Yeah, it's hard to be uh, it's hard to be a kingmaker
(11:05):
now just in general, it's justeverything that's such a niche. And now
now it's at a place where likea podcast sometimes no offense tels, sworn
enemy, no no, yeah,okay, okay, all right, um,
but uh, you know that's sometimesit's even bigger, you know,
I mean, like Joe Rogan orsomething like that. The podcast YouTube ways
(11:26):
is a better way to get actI don't um some of our guys here,
um interviewed Angela Johnson, you know, and she's getting ready to do
a new comedy show like a sitcom, but it's gonna be on YouTube.
Oh wow. Yeah, And theythink that's that's a better way to get
out. But you know, that'slike how Cobra Kai started. Oh yeah,
that's a little fifteen minute vigeonets onYouTube, and then it blew up
(11:46):
to what it is now. Wellhere's the thing. I mean, I
feel that like outside of Netflix andmaybe HBO. I would I go to
YouTube for everything because anything else that'sgonna get a little buried. Yeah,
and YouTube is able to anyone.You know. I've done all my specials
on YouTube. I mean, youknow, I don't have other options,
but like they weren't like, wegotta get you on YouTube here, you
(12:11):
know what I mean. Sometimes I'llbring me up to that. They're like,
yeah, a special on YouTube.I'm like, you don't have to
say the YouTube part, like,don't get too attimidated. But this guy
was able to upload something on thesite. Everyone can upload anything on don't
get too attimidated. But this guy, you know that place where isis would
(12:31):
have beheading videos. This guy doesn'tstand up on that same site. And
do you wonder if the after thosevideos, they're like, man, only
got twenty five years and we neverget monetized. I don't know what's happening.
(13:00):
You gotta do the beheading earlier.People don't. People will watch after
the first ten seconds too. You'redoing too much of that free show.
But yeah, so that yeah,so anyway, Yeah, I've done a
buzz By special on YouTube, andI'll probably do my next special on YouTube.
(13:20):
You know, Oh my God,your shows are fantastic. Oh thanks,
I always I always have so muchfun to be in here. Go
see run On Hurstberg. He's atLaugh louis We've got a couple more minutes,
of course, yeah yeah, laughlittle dot com. We've got free
water drinking water for you here todayand then and some fig bars that were
put here last year that nobody's eating. But other than that, we're a
(13:41):
little dry. That's run On Hurstberg. He's performing tonight and tomorrow. And
is that it Saturday night? Thelast show? Yeah? Just yeah,
just come Saturday one show. Ithink it's eight yeah, laugh. Louisville
dot Com is the website. We'reback in a few on news radio at
forty WHS. Comedian run On Hurstberg'sin a studio with me. He was
(14:05):
a Louisvillian for a long time atKentuckian for a long time, and then
his career took him away. Andwe've missed you. I've missed being here.
It's it's so nice to be back. Okay. You mentioned earlier that
you're you're in a story of queensin New York is or there? Like
waffle houses helped me? Is itlike because you've had a lot of good
stories from places like waffle house atthree in the morning. Do you have
(14:28):
that same opportunity where you are now? I mean, you know, it's
more like, you know, there'sthere's more like there's not a lot of
chains. I guess in the sameway there's not like you know, like
Applebee's or the Applebee's in that inTimes Square. There is. Yeah,
it's like really expensive for anyone whoneeds that. It's like a redneck embassy
or something. You had so manygreat adventures though traveling around just you know,
(14:56):
yeah the road. Yeah, I'mI'm still down the road, but
it's nicer. Yeah, it's definitelyit's definitely not as much a nightmare.
But that's a different thing two o'clockin the morning in a waffle house.
Yeah, you've you've experienced that manytimes. Yeah, well, you know
it's a story, is you know, it's it's yeah, I still have
I still know I'm still on theroad. I still have, you know,
(15:16):
waffle house. And actually I dida waffle house. I went to
a waffle house in um where itwas. I was in uh, North
Carolina, and I went to awaffle house. It was like very and
uh it was insane because I'm sobernow, and when you go to waffle
house sober, you're like, thisis an insane asile. You didn't realize
that before. No, I'm like, first of all, if if ever
(15:37):
there's a place, it's the oneplace where you're allowed to see the kitchen
in there, and it's the placewhere you don't want to see the kitchen
the most is where the kitchen isthe most visible. I'm like, they're
not following any regulations, you know. It was insane, like they were
all everyone serving. There was likeon drugs. Everyone everyone's drug it was.
(15:58):
It was it was literally like itfelt like it's saying asylum. Yeah.
I guess when you're drunk you justdon't notice apparently not No, you
think it's like the spray butter.It turns out it's formula four O nine.
It doesn't matter. When you're sober, you kind of just can't.
Your tolerance level for experiences goes down. You just can't do the same things
because it's like I can't go tolike waffle ash, I'll just you know,
get depressed. I can't go tolike a loud bar or club.
(16:22):
You just like it to be quiet. Can I ask you one a little
serious question. What happened? Wasthere a milestone moment where you said,
you know what I'm done? Youknow? Honestly, No, what happened
is my doctor told me I hadfatty liver disease, which, ah's scary
and also feels insulting, but likeyou have little whim sculeiosis, it just
(16:47):
feels like it's roasted me. ButI was like, all, I'm just
getting here to get insulted. Um. But uh, but he told me
to quit drinking, and then Igo away. I quit drinking and I
lost a bunch of weight and itwent away. And they're afraid to gain
the way back. So I didn'tdrink again, and I still gained the
way back. I just did itsober. You look good. I'm I
(17:12):
have a trainer now, Oh,I didn't hear about that. How do
you select a trainer based on whatI just I go to a gym and
they put me They put me witha Hungarian guy, And how do you
know that they know what they're doing? You know, it's actually very scary
because I also have back pain.Yeah, And you go to a trainer
(17:33):
and you're like, I have backpain. Can we go easy? And
they're like sure, but like theydon't. Hey, it's really dangerous because
you're putting you know, you're theresponsibility of your body in the hands of
someone who's probably an idiot. Thetrainer. I'm kidding, he's kidding,
he's a comedian. But the otherthing is a trainer telling you all right,
(17:55):
it's fine if you have back,this won't hurt. That's like a
guy who like, uh, smokesa lot of weed and it's like this
animal is not that strong, andthen you take like a crumb of it
and you're like on the ceiling.It's like their tallenge is different. So
I mean, like just like painall the time. It's funny when you
wait lift you feel you know,you feel manly doing it, but then
that feeling backfires because the next dayyou feel like you're on your period all
(18:18):
day. You're just like emotional andsensitive. I want to cry. I'm
aching everywhere. It's just like Ihate it, but I'm doing it so
but I hate it. So doyou have like a leg day and I'll
lead business. We're doing the wholebody each day, which is I didn't
even know that was a lot toomuch. I didn't know the lot.
I mean literally, I was likesore in my arms and we did the
same things. Two days later.I'm like, I'm already sorry. There's
(18:42):
one day I couldnot like move thenext day it's awful. And then you
don't have any liquor to go home. No, I got nothing. Yeah,
so it's it's tough. I'm justin pain. But I mean,
you know, hopefully, I don'tknow hopefully what happened after you decided to
go sober and then you're with yourfriends and they're all busting open beers and
(19:02):
martinis or whatever. You know,I don't know what happens is You're just
like I guess I don't know.Maybe it's kind of New York comedian.
I don't know, Like the peoplearound don't drink that much. I don't
know. I don't know if youjust start hanging out with people don't drink
as much. But that's it.That what it is. Yeah, I
just don't hang out with people whoget like really drunk, you know.
To be a comedian now, it'sdifferent than the in the eighties. You
had to have five minutes in amanageable coke habit, and you have your
(19:26):
own sitcom in like a week.But here you have yes, yeah,
but here you have to be likeyou have to be such a nerd these
days as a comedian, you haveto have Instagram and all this stuff.
It's hard to do it, Likeit's hard to be a party person these
days. I don't picture you asa guy on Instagram. I'm all there
all the time, post and stuff. I have to like, that's the
(19:47):
that's how you get noticed. Yeah, it's like how you get you know,
followers, and then you're you know, we're all trying to get We're
all like Jesus, we're all tryingto get followers. We're all trying to
start our own religion of narcissism.And uh, I gotta get followers.
Tell you post clips and then peoplesee it, then they come to your
show. It's like how you haveto do it. But I have to
like post clips, they have tocapture them and do all. I mean,
(20:07):
I pay someone to do it,but it's still like a lot of
work, so I can't That's whatI mean. I can't see you personally
doing that, but someone's doing itfor you. I mean, some people
are doing something, but I stillhave to do a lot of what are
you on Twitter? I'm on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok. Even though I
my friend posts from me all thatI hate it, I get flagged every
time. That's a horrible place becausethey say you said something inappropriate. Yeah,
(20:30):
I don't know. It's a weirdmixture of like it's a horrible clash
of Chinese fascism and young people's fascism. So any young person's like, I
don't like that you're talking about thistopic as a white man, so they
flag you, and then the Chinesegovernment, I guess, also flagged you.
It's actually really funny because it's reallylike certain people whatever. There's idiots
(20:52):
on both sides well, of course, but it is funny that the extreme
left in their intolerance, it's kindof working with the Chinese governments. They're
like, they're like on the samepage. They don't realize the comedy they're
making. Right. Young people arelike, this joke made me uncomfortable,
So I flagged it, and thenthe Chinese government's like agreed. You really
(21:14):
see how they come. Can Iget you a dull gray uniform? Actually
that would be good. Anything else'sclasses So you have different realities you know,
because I get flagged on there somuch just for like talking about a
topic. You know, I knowit's insane. Yeah, you know,
I'm whatever. And there's there's idiotson both sides. Of course they are,
(21:37):
but that's what makes life interesting.It's true. It's true. If
you didn't have idiots, you wouldn'thave good stories. So people will flag
things on TikTok? What are youdoing an audience when someone says I'm offended,
I'm triggered by what you just said, and you're on stage, do
you just go on? I mean, I haven't. I don't get that
too much. I've had people belike I had that once. I was
doing like a Holocaust joke and someone'slike, that's not funny, they said
(21:59):
out loud. I'm like, Ithink they were Jewish, and I was
Jewish, so it was like areal showdown what I do now though,
If I do like a joke,you know, I make fun of anything.
You know, if it's a goodjoke, I'll do a good joke.
If I do something about holocoast orsomething and the audience tightens up,
I'll start yelling at them saying,you know, I have a lot of
trauma from this stuff and you're notlaughing if preventing me releasing good move what
(22:23):
happens on TV shows they say,let me see everything you're doing. Yeah,
it's hard to do anything remotely.It's like somebody is the Chinese government
backstage and a TV show, wellTV show, it's like it's you know,
it's ad advertisers and YouTube. Imean, you can't say anything remotely
on Foulon. You can't. Imean, one time I remember the email
(22:44):
mail Foulon. They're like, youcan't do any jokes making fun of other
people or yourself, and I'm like, that's pretty much what comedy is.
So it's literally the two options.It's easy helping, literally the two options,
you know. But yeah, Imean, look, I don't mind.
You know. I also hate thosecomics who look, you can say
anything these days because it's like youcan, of course, And honestly,
(23:10):
big part of comedy is dealing withtension and relieving it. So if there's
more tension in the crowd, it'smore relief to gout, you know what
I mean. But I do like, um it is it is. I
do get annoyed when people aren't laughingbecause it's just a topic that they think
I can't make fun of. Becausethen you're like, well, now you're
just insulting comedy because you're saying comedycan't deal with bigger issues. You know
(23:33):
what I mean? Now I'm insulted. Of course I cancel you. Let's
all just do this via zoom.But the worst thing was comedy, isn't
That isn't I'm offended. It's justpeople on their phone in front of you.
I had a woman on the phonein front of me in the front
row yesterday, just on the phone, you mean talking or text like texting.
(23:55):
But still I'm like, right,I like cetera. I'm just very
honest. I'm like, look,what about the setup makes it look like
I'm not in desperate need for attention? What about this with me on stage
with the microphone and the spotlight makesme think I'm okay with someone in the
front row being on their phone.And she kept on being on her phone,
so I kept on calling around.I was nice about it, but
(24:15):
you know, you know it's ayou know, we're narcissists. I can't

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
