All right, let's do this. How are you, what the fuckers? What the fuck buddies? What the fuck, Nicks? What the fuck, Adelix? What's happening? I'm Marc Maron, this is my podcast, What the Fuck, WTF. Sorry, kids. I know you're driving, Mom. I know you're driving, Dad. I know, I know sometimes you go ahead and let them listen, and that was a lot of F-bombs in a fairly short period, but no more than usual, really, was it? How are the kids? Everybody all right? Everybody okay? Are they growing up fine? Are they turning out all right? You know, I just got back from St. Louis, and I had a great time in St. Louis. Had a great time. I'm not going to ramble too far here before I tell you that Gary Gulman is on the show. Gary Gulman. He's been on before a long time ago, back on like episode 357, that was 2013 And since then, he's released several comedy albums and televised specials, including The Great Depresh on HBO. In 2019, he's now written his first book, Misfit, Growing Up Awkward in the 80s. This guy's gone through it, man, and he's come out the other side, for the most part, I would say. And we'll get into it, man. We'll get into it. But it was heavy, man. It was heavy, and Gary's doing all right. And we'll have that conversation momentarily. I'll be at Wise Guys in Las Vegas this Friday and Saturday, September 22nd and 23rd for four shows. I'm in Bellingham, Washington at the Mount Baker Theater for one show on Saturday, October 14th, as part of the Bellingham Exit Festival. Portland, Oregon, sold out, sorry. 20 through 22nd of October, all sold out. Then I'm at the Kimo Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico for one show on November 11th, my hometown. And Denver, Colorado, I'll be at the Comedy Works South for four shows, November 17th and 18th. And I'll be at Comics Come Home, whenever that is in November.
So look, I was in St. Louis. I did some morning radio, it was the Risotto Show.
Yes, 105.7, the point with Riz, Moon Valjean, King Scott, Rafe Williams and Learn.
Quite a crew, walked in there. It was on fire right away. Great morning crew, had a great time. It was fun, you know, cause they give you this option.
A lot of these places, they were like, you want to do a phone? Or I'm like, what am I going to, what am I doing in St. Louis in the morning? I'm not a child, I'm not a drunk. I can wake up and go to the place. Phoners are useless. You got to get into the same airness for the real exchange. That's what you, we've got to get back to same airness.
All these Zoom conversations, all these text conversations, it's not good. You may think you're talking, but you're not. You're not feeling the vibrations in the room. You're not breathing the same air. People, commune, get back to same airness as often as you can.
All right?
So I went into a Rizzuto show, talked to the guys and the gal. Some people misunderstand. I like morning radio. Yeah, I did a joke about morning radio, but a good crew in the morning, you walk in, all they're wanting you to do is like kind of get in there. And God knows I know how to do that.
