00:01So what are we getting into tonight here?

00:03Well, I've been blacklisted from this place.

00:06Actually, I told them that it's blacklisted for me,

00:09and that's sort of the case, right?

00:23You dumb fucking fuck.

00:24The only funny fuck you got here is...

00:26Hey, explain why I can't do a set here.

00:29Whatever, but eventually we're going to be kicked out.

00:31He's been banned from lots of robes, so...

00:33It's a lot to do with alcohol and just being mouthy

00:36and calling somebody a cunt, usually.

00:38Oh, hey!

00:42This is the mating call of a cougar.

00:46It was only a few months ago I toured from St. John's, Newfoundland,

00:50all the way to Tofino.

00:51I was, you know, like I was on the top of my game, I thought.

00:55Just, you know, a couple of months ago,

00:58and now here I am, New Year's Eve, I'm, you know,

01:01falling asleep on a couch, you know,

01:03surrounded by other homeless addicts.

01:06What's going on around here?

01:10So what are you guys up to over here?

01:12Trying to get my damaged clothes back.

01:14I was thinking about this Roy, that my first counsellor's name was Roy as well.

01:19An old, retired United Church minister.

01:22And he said to me way, way back,

01:24Are you ready to accept that if you find the peace you're looking for,

01:29you might lose your livelihood?

01:32If I found happiness, I would stop doing stand-up comedy.

01:36They don't give a shit about comedy.

01:38It's not about comedy.

01:39That's the brutal part, is that it's not about entertaining.

01:43It's not about being funny.

01:44It's all about the ridiculous bottom line.

01:46I feel humiliated, Roy.

01:49I feel like a loser.

01:51I feel like I don't even qualify to be an AA,

01:54because I don't have a fucking phone.

01:56Everybody wants me to get my number.

01:57I don't have a fucking number.

01:59You know it's time.

02:01I've made some big mistakes.

02:05Well, I acquired all this stuff, but then I lost my job and my home.

02:11So how are you feeling about the move out so far?

02:18Think you'll have it done by today?

02:20I'm not sure.

02:21We'll find out right now, I guess.

02:23I realize it's in everybody's way.

02:25And this represents me.

02:27And I realize that I'm a problem for a lot of people.

02:31And I'm trying to solve that.

02:33You said that you'd be able to get a 15,

02:36and there was no damage to the suite.

02:38that you would get your buzz back,

02:41but it shouldn't happen.

02:42You know, we were...

02:43I'm going into treatment January 10th for three months.

02:53Fire!

02:55I don't want to be that hard, badass, edgy, dark, notorious Richard Lett.

03:08It's not fun for me anymore.

03:10Fire!

03:27Fire!

03:31Fire!

03:32Fire!

03:33Fire!
