Hell, was easy to understand the a hard place

5:00

take million Christmas trees that I'm on fire

5:02

jump right in the mail or fodder for. some

5:05

and he was very games like the idea of how

5:22

you oh this is due to learn

5:24

anything about george carlin

5:27

That you didn't know some in the surprise you

5:29

about this documentary.

5:32

Landing? At the price was, you know, he had many phases,

5:34

you like Bano, you know, you do, we like reinvent

5:36

you to every ten year on a month as I say that.

5:39

Memory is that he's the Beatles, yes,

5:41

yeah, like he can do, you know, want to hold your hand,

5:43

and then it's the next stays, put up a white l

5:45

yeah. He has incredible ability reinvent himself

5:48

and the ones I were you to reinvent himself, he was the

5:50

guess in the mid eighties

5:52

he saw see him Tennessee. And

5:54

you could tell he was so edgy.

5:57

It scared him and he said don't want to spend

5:59

the rest and.

6:00

Career eating this guy's dust,

6:02

and then for the next twenty years, he kind of tried to out

6:04

can have some kind of.

6:07

He was great for his a few

6:09

like. Monologues. You

6:11

know, anything about what is process was like because somebody

6:14

who'd of does or hair in the past

6:16

on similar work than that, what was it like

6:18

he would go there? And base into forty five minutes,

6:20

join our monologue, there are

6:22

jokes in it, but he is tell me I was story about

6:24

what the world is like today there are. The main

6:27

browsers is doing cocaine a.

6:29

lot of other hand you really do really lot of

6:31

the cause you're enjoying it enjoying think he loved

6:34

words his mom loved words

6:36

and he was obsessive words he may have been i think i'm

6:38

obsessive compulsive in some way bread

6:40

attention deficit and maybe was maybe doing drugs

6:43

as some as weird way of

6:45

focus himself and he never hung out when people

6:47

eating party of people but he would do a lot of

6:49

drugs and just right and right and listen

6:51

to music My.

6:53

Favorite things I heard Carlin talk about was that

6:56

he miss understood Lenny

6:58

Bruce and three thought it was cool to

7:00

be arrested, he and he ended up

7:02

in a paddy. wagon With Lenny Bruce once then

7:05

he was like, "Yeah, we did it, we got my area resident

7:07

who said, "Dummy, yeah, kitten over

7:09

three objective is to stay on stage and" Does

7:11

Yeah stuff will Lenny Bruce with the

7:13

person who saw him he was coming

7:16

from Jack Byrnes and he saw me like that and

7:18

called his agent, and he said? Sign the harlan

7:20

was with Burns, yeah, it was able to war, was Burger's

7:22

driver, it was with I didn't know that

7:24

and so he got him in the business.

7:28

What do you think? Man, what are they?

7:30

Carlin will be talking about today I'm in used

7:33

to see that interview with us for yourself, I

7:35

don't think George Carlin would like Mark Esper.

7:39

Why not why not because?

7:42

carl his whole idea was that

7:45

People with money manipulate the

7:47

whole system. And so if

7:49

somebody knows that Trump is a maniac

7:52

and, you would think the day after he

7:54

gets fired his the day to go

7:56

hey he wanted to shoot all the george floyd protesters

7:59

in the leg

8:00

But he way for year to write a book have.

8:02

you make money

8:05

And I think that was George Carlin's

8:07

whole thing, which is, he just thought they're not looking

8:09

out for you. Yeah.

8:13

Talk about people you look out for you Your

8:16

family. That's right. We've already talked about your

8:19

lovely wife Leslie. Does

8:21

I that

8:24

make you nervous? Knowing what show business is?

8:26

Like, are you like hell for it? It's not that hard. What

8:29

your dream is that your kids will surpass you.

8:32

And there have no you

8:34

and of the failed number. one sister

8:40

What are you notice it all have to?

8:43

be and No, I like it really, just

8:45

a stay away from the cocaine.

8:48

Work for George Carlin, yeah, no, I don't

8:51

you enjoy that, okay?

8:52
