00:00Carlin did 16 albums, I'm on my 11th, and so I want to beat Carlin.
00:06I'll never beat Carlin in the sense of Carlin, but I, yeah.
00:09Was he part of your, because I love the Apatow, the HBO documentary on Carlin was terrific,
00:14and he had that epiphany where he said, I got to do, I have to do me, I have to
00:20be more
00:20substantive, and they have a great clip of Bill Burr talking about, he and his friend
00:26were going to go sort of make fun of Carlin, and then they're like, what did we just watch?
00:31Did you have one of those epiphany moments as well?
00:34Yeah, but I, you know, it's funny, I remember back, not to remember, I remember seeing the
00:38old clips of him, like on an Ed Sullivan show, and he was just really goofy, and then when
00:44I was 12, when I was 12 years old, I loved comedy, I wanted to be a comic since I
00:47was
00:47five, I would sneak out while my dad was drunk on the couch, and I would watch Carson, because
00:52he'd fall asleep, and I would watch the comic.
00:55So, what happened was, I was 12, and I was coming home from, I was walking home from
00:58junior high, and I went to the library, our local library had two albums, they had Richard
01:03Pryor, that N-Word's Crazy, and they had Toledo Window Box by George Carlin, and they
01:08let me check him out, and I was 12, and I get home, and I'm playing Richard Pryor, I've
01:13got my little, like, my little 45 complete, and I'm listening to, and my dad bangs the door
01:19open, and he just, he goes, what the hell are you listening to?
01:21And I go, it's Richard Pryor, who the hell gave you a Richard Pryor album?
01:24And he's mad, and I go, then let me check it out at the library, and he takes a long
01:28pause,
01:29and he goes, okay.
01:30Like another adult had approved it?
01:33Yeah.
