code kids leave sooner totally
No sooner my kids leave their friends than they start texting them. And it's all in code in a language I totally don't understand.
good life people
Now people live into their 90s and beyond. As long as I have quality of life, I'm good.
people
People all over are finding themselves in jobs they never thought they'd be in.
bills ends figure people trying tv
People are trying to figure out how to pay bills and make ends meet. They don't want to turn on the TV and say, 'What is this crap?'
blown god success
There's a reason God didn't give me this success in my 20s, because I'd have blown it.
based regional
What I do is not regional comedy, and it is not based in the southern area.
casino continue fully gigs indian local ohio slow
As my wife says, I'll never fully retire, but it'll start to slow down. I'll continue to do the local gigs or go to Las Vegas. But I won't be going out to Ohio to play an Indian casino anymore. Those will probably go by the wayside.
asked came car coat gonna guy hang keys lock mall standing stop stupid washed
I came out of the mall one day, and a guy was standing there with a coat hanger in his window, and I couldn't stop myself. I asked the stupid question. 'You lock your keys in the car?' 'Nope, just washed it, gonna hang it up to dry.'
passed people took
I have been passed over on some things because people didn't think I was edgy enough. But the people who took those gigs are gone now, and I am still here.
dishes taking yard
I learned that you don't take dishes from the table to the dishwasher; you have to rinse them first. I think that's stupid because I don't go out in the back yard and hose off before taking a shower.
fairly good ipod laptop lightly listen movies music travel watch
I travel fairly lightly because you have to these days. I always take a laptop and an iPod so I can watch movies and listen to music. And my Gameboy. That's a good time-killer.
camping kids life lived next nor normal outdoor separate wife
If you lived next door to me and didn't know what I did, you wouldn't know I was a celebrity. I don't have that lifestyle, nor do I want that lifestyle. I want to know that I can have a separate life with my wife and my kids and just be normal and go camping and fishing and outdoor stuff.
boring form honest hour instead ok saving standup
Standup is a form of therapy. It is OK to tell problems to your audience as long as you are being honest and not boring them. I tell them that I am saving $75 an hour when I talk to them instead of a therapist.
everybody happened people relate
The one thing people like about my show is it's universal. Everybody can relate to it. I think people enjoy going to a show and saying, 'Something like that happened to me.'
