00:00Joining us here in the studio for the very first time, and somehow sponsored by Harvest

00:19Seasonal Grill, Joe Bubblewitz is here.

00:23Good morning to you, Joe.

00:24That's the only way they let me eat the food here.

00:25I had to put this on my chest.

00:27Well, McGrogan drives a hard bargain.

00:30All right?

00:31Capitalism at its best.

00:32Actually, that's the highest Dave could reach on Joe.

00:36It's at his belly button.

00:37It's almost hit my head on the thing.

00:39You've got to raise the speakers for crying out loud.

00:41Joe's a tall guy.

00:43How was getting over here this morning?

00:45Yeah, it wasn't too bad.

00:47Well, once I got an affiliate, it was bad.

00:48It's like the orange capital of the world.

00:50What's going on with the construction?

00:51I guess eventually the city's going to get done?

00:53I don't know.

00:54Someday.

00:55Someday.

00:55All right.

00:56So this is the first time we're meeting.

00:58I don't know all that much about you, so let's start with the simple things.

01:01My social security number is 139.

01:04Are you married?

01:06I'm in a relationship.

01:07Oh, you're in a relationship.

01:08Longest relationship ever.

01:09Nine years.

01:10Really?

01:11Yeah.

01:11She's Irish, and our anniversary is on St. Patrick's Day.

01:14Really?

01:15So I figured this is going to work, because I can remember that over here.

01:18I can remember.

01:21Yeah.

01:22She's a cool chick, man.

01:23All right.

01:23She puts up with me.

01:25All right.

01:25Yeah.

01:25Don't they all.

01:26I'm married 22 years today.

01:28Are you really?

01:29Yeah.

01:29God bless you.

01:30Look at you.

01:31I know.

01:31I'm surprised I'm not dead.

01:33You've got to stay on that surfboard of happiness, man.

01:35That's what it's all about.

01:36Are you a pet guy?

01:38Do you got kids?

01:39Let me go through that.

01:40Pets are more important to me than children.

01:42Well, let me tell you something.

01:43We've got two dogs, and she's got two kids.

01:45Okay.

01:45They're teenagers.

01:46So dogs are a lot easier, right?

01:48Dogs.

01:49When you take them home, right, they don't come home and smell like marijuana.

01:53Dogs.

01:54They don't ask for money.

01:55It's a lot easier when you're raising dogs.

01:57It's tough, man.

01:58I don't know.

01:59They've got a 16 and an 18-year-old.

02:00They're brutal.

02:01Oh, God.

02:02Yeah.

02:02They'll come out of it, I guess.

02:03I don't know.

02:03All right.

02:04All right.

02:05How are they dealing with, you know, mom has a boyfriend?

02:09You know what?

02:10It's been about nine years now.

02:11Well, the first three years were tough, and I have a lot of material on that, but it's

02:16a little dirtier, so come see the show.

02:19I don't think they've got a lot of people talking about that now.

02:23But, you know, it's so surprising because we have never met before, and I know, like,

02:28every damn comic in the city, I mean, with the exception of Helium, where else have you

02:33been performing?

02:34Witness Protection Comedy Club.

02:35Oh, is that what it is?

02:36There's no low-key churches and synagogues.

02:40Luckily, I'm in the Northeast, so I don't really have to travel as much because it's,

02:45you know, I don't know if you travel, or you don't travel, but it's just, you know, it's

02:47getting tired.

02:48Yeah.

02:48Oh, yeah.

02:49Tiring.

02:49Oh, yeah.

02:50I mean, you know, I see guys come in here, and it's like, well, we had Mark Norman in

02:54yesterday, and literally, every time this guy comes to town, it snows.

02:58Yeah.

02:59Right?

02:59Every single time.

03:00He's been here three times, and it has snowed.

03:02The first time he showed up, there was 22 inches of snow on the ground.

03:05And he was here?

03:06Right.

03:06Well, he was on our show.

03:08No one was at his show.

03:09Yeah.

03:09But he was on our show.

03:11That's brutal.

03:12Yeah.

03:12Now, they had a closing, like it was a state of an emergency.

03:16It was like three inches of snow.

03:18Yeah.

03:18I know.

03:19I don't get it.

03:19I had to hitch on the back of a bus to get to school.

03:21Remember that?

03:21We had to hitch on the back.

03:22Remember hitching?

03:23Oh, yeah.

03:24You do the hitching, right?

03:24Oh, sure.

03:25They don't do that anymore.

03:26No.

03:26The kid got helmets on when they're riding bikes.

03:28It's like, come on, relax.

03:30Riding bikes in the tub.

03:31I saw somebody selling tub helmets the other day.

03:33Tub helmets?

03:34Yes, for bath time.

03:36I'm not making this up, guys.

03:38I'm not making this up.

03:39Does it keep your kids?

03:40I mean, yeah, my kid's taking a pretty decent.

03:42That's for Dave.

03:43Exactly.

03:44Honey, where's the shower helmet?

03:45Are you being serious?

03:47Yeah.

03:47I didn't.

03:47All right, man.

03:48Does it keep your head flowing?

03:50These are soft times.

03:51I got some new material.

03:52Let me write that down.

03:53Exactly.

03:54Maybe it's not patented yet.

03:55Get on it.

03:56Tub helmets.

03:57Doing comedy as long as you've been doing comedy.

04:01Let me ask you this, because I've asked this to some other people.

04:04Is it getting different?

04:05Is it?

04:06Oh, yeah.

04:08Yeah?

04:08You know, I do some Trump stuff, but usually when I do it, at the end of the joke, they

04:14don't know if I'm for them or against them, and that's where you have to be.

04:17I mean, you've got to go into Switzerland.

04:19You don't have to be, but you could run into some problems.

04:22I mean, I had, there was a, let's not, I won't mention the club, but I had a call where

04:27somebody got fired because he did a Trump joke, and there was about 400 people in the

04:31audience.

04:32Right.

04:32And half the people were for Trump, the other half were against Trump, so when he did the

04:37anti-Trump joke, they got mad, and then the other people who were supporting Trump,

04:42they were going at each other.

04:43Then they weren't even talking to the comic anymore.

04:46When he left, they had to walk, like he couldn't walk out because people were waiting for him.

04:50Oh my God!

04:51As he left the club, they had to go the back way, and the next day they fired him.

04:55They fired him.

04:56Comedy clubs are supposed to be the safe zone.

04:58We, you know, that's when I'll stop.

05:00When they say, you can't do this, you can't do that, I'll go, hey, I had a good run, I'm

05:05out of here.

05:05You know what?

05:06I can still do it, thank God, because it is true.

05:09It's, I mean, you go on Facebook, and no matter what you say nowadays, you're going to

05:13piss someone.

05:13Hey, it's a beautiful day outside.

05:14You're a racist!

05:16It's light outside.

05:18Yeah, but it's light.

05:18It's the darkness.

05:20No, no, take it easy.

05:21I mean, I'm just, yeah.

05:22So, it's really, I mean, I've heard some nightmare stories.

05:26I've been able to avoid it, you know what I mean?

05:28But, yeah, it's crazy out there.

05:30Now, we were talking earlier, and now that I'm looking straight at you, yeah, you do look

05:36a little like Jake Johansson.

05:37Jake Johansson.

05:38Well, you know what?

05:39You know what I've gotten lately?

05:40Right.

05:41Roger Waters.

05:42Oh, I can totally see that.

05:43I can see that.

05:44Oh, wow, even more so.

05:46And that explains the anti-Trump joke.

05:48Exactly.

05:49Yeah.

05:49All you've got to do is big up a bigger nose.

05:53Yeah, just, well, wait a minute.

05:54It's big.

05:55See, look.

05:55Oh, my.

05:56Oh, my.

05:57Smoking mirrors.

05:58Oh, wait a second.

05:59Wait a second.

05:59Take it off and look at them straight on.

06:01Look at this.

06:02You are Roger Waters.

06:03You are Roger Waters.

06:03I was going to say, because, yeah, without the money, or the guitar talent.

06:07Who the hell's Jake Johansson?

06:08Yeah, I was Googling him before he said Roger Waters.

06:12Oh, Roger Waters.

06:13Yeah, I mean, like, lately, every, because, Joanna's been wanting me to grow my hair longer.

06:17I'm like, all right, whatever, you know, happy wife, happy life, I'll grow my hair longer.

06:20Now it's like every show.

06:22You know, I know, I know, I know, Roger Waters.

06:24I mean, I should just get in the, you know, first class.

06:28Sit down.

06:28Let's go to, yeah.

06:30Well, you know, there are people who come up to me and say, I have a friend who looks like you.

06:34And my answer is, tell him to get everything out of it he can.

06:37Yeah, right.

06:38So on behalf of Roger, do the same thing.

06:40Milk it, baby, milk it.

06:41Right, yes.

06:41Do you know who I am?

06:43Right this way, sir.

06:46I mean, do people on social media, do you get it there, too?

06:50It's just recently been that way, because, like I said, she's, why don't you grow my hair?

06:55Why don't you grow my hair?

06:55I'm all right.

06:55So I just, I'm starting to grow my hair longer.

06:57That's when it started happening, like, the last two or three months.

07:00So now every show, I know, like, as soon as they're smiling, then they're coming up to me.

07:05And obviously they enjoy the show, but that's not what they want to talk to me about.

07:08I know, I know.

07:09Roger Waters.

07:10All right.

07:11Where's he live, man?

07:12I got to meet him somewhere.

07:13We got to do a little.

07:13Yeah, he's still just outside of London.

07:16That's a far drive.

07:18I mean, the next time he's here.

07:20Thank you so much for coming in on a snow day.

07:21Thanks, guys.

07:22Thanks, guys.

07:22We'll be a part of First Friday this morning.

07:24How am I going to get my pancakes?

07:26I'm here to announce that I'm leaving show business and spend more time with my stripper.
