The Joe Rogan Experience.
Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day.
Mike Birbiglia, easily the most prepared stand-up comedian guest in the history of this podcast.
Look at this. Homeboy has got page after page after page.
He also has printed stuff.
I know.
You're writing out in longhand.
You're one of the last humans to use cursive.
It's all insanity, though. It doesn't add up to anything, really.
But it does. It adds up to effort, right?
All that is making sure you're writing things down and that puts it in your brain.
There's a short documentary about Lynn Shotcroft and Mitch Hedberg,
and one of the things that he says in his old interview is people ask him for advice all the time, young comedians,
and he just says, write down what's funny.
Don't be lazy. Don't be lazy.
That's a good piece of advice.
That's a great piece of advice, right?
Especially from a heroin addict.
It's very rare that you get non-lazy heroin addicts.
Don't make me laugh at that.
