Episode Transcript: #848 - Bryan Callen

Terrorist survivor and I'm wearing a sky blue shirt, please if I call you a terrorist survivor

How much hate do you think I'll get it seems like a nice green light for people to get upset for no reason well

You know, I think that everybody wants to be if you've not been affected by it

But you were there you want somehow credit like I found myself

I was 800 feet exactly away from the blast because I was at the Gotham Comedy Club

208 what I think was 23rd and the bomb was at 133 it's hard for me to think of how big 800 feet is so like

It's a half a block half a block if you look it on if you if you actually close

Yeah, if you look it on your Google Maps, it's a half a block and

So you were about to go on stage

I was about to go on stage and I was with Jimmy Burke the national treasure that is Jimmy Burke

I love Jimmy Burke. Of course you do who doesn't and we were talking in front of the club

So I was literally right behind the front door and the Gotham Clowney Club

You have to walk all the way down and go in to the room

So probably about 25 yards

So I'm literally on the street, but with the door in front of us and we just hear

Ba-boom and that sickening sound where you know, it's a bomb, you know, it's not a manhole cover

You know what I mean? You just know it's just too loud

I don't think I've ever heard a bomb

It's horrifying and it was 800 feet away
