the Joe Rogan experience I can start releasing shit from my archives even like
past Lance
performances you can hear Jeff Scott laughing in the corner and stuff Jeff
Scott which is so sad
yeah I miss him I miss him too I miss him so much that made me so sad and it
hit me coming by
surprise because you don't realize you've been this is this person has been a
part of your life
for so long because you just seem like you're doing a set at the comedy store I
have a different
situation because I've been with Jeff since 94 94 95 I think he came around and
then you know we were
I hadn't seen him for so long and then when I came back to the store and in
2014 he was like one of the
first people I saw and he had he was just always there man he was he was a
sweet guy and always
hugging everybody when I found out he died one of the first things I felt like
is like I don't think
he would have died if it wasn't for this fucking pandemic I thought I thought I
think it hit a lot
of us he was fucking he was such a part of the store he was the one of the
biggest parts of the store
without being a comic yeah without being a guy who actually got on stage he was
one of the biggest
parts of the store and that felt like 10 months of him having no connection you
know that was everything
he was there every night man yeah I I hugged that guy every time I saw him he
he was like a performer
without being a performer like obviously he did the piano but he had such great
comedy instincts having
done performing in his past and such because you've been the clubs before and
they're sound guys and
they're like yeah they're not really yeah they're not but this guy he was like
jazz man yeah he was he
was a performer he was a performer there have been times when I was doing Lance
or whatever and he would
just like turn on a certain song and it was never disruptive it was always
additive and to think
about not having that when we go back and for it to happen during all this too
where you can't even
like properly process what what there was a zoom there was a zoom room where
people could pop in and
kind of like talk about Jeff and have all these Jeff stories and like I had to
hop in there and
it was it was so many people there's so many great comics big comics too like
the zoom room was like
100 people just it was it was great to at least have that so it sucked to have
something that seismic
happen in a vacuum there was a ritual that I would do not a ritual just like a
thing that I would
always do pull into the parking lot say hi to everybody hug all the people I
saw and go to the
back smoking area and I'd always find Jeff Scott getting high always yeah I get
high with him I give
him a big hug and I go how many more people before I go on and he'd be like
well you know Jeff Ross
is on stage now you got like two more people and then you're like okay and then
I'll go he was like
he was he was a part of the foundation he was he was he was so important man
when he was gone I was
like oh my no he hurt as much as Brody it hurt it hurt as much as anybody I I
agree and it creeps
up on you you don't realize every set that I've done at the comedy store he's
he's been a part of
yeah and what I loved about Jeff is he he was willing to play and play is such
a big part sometimes
stand-up you could be so self-serious and think that you're changing the world
and there is that
but sometimes it's fun to just have fun and I would get these harebrained ideas
of like oh here's a music
cue let's do this and he would be chomping at the bit because most comics just
play up play off right
but if I'm like I need him to play some piano or I need him to play this song
he kind of lit up because
it was like a mini yeah musical or something right right and and like seeing
his spark because a lot of
times I'll go to a city and I'm like I have these sound cues and you can see
them kind of like roll their
eyes or like uh it's more work but Jeff was more than down and he was embedded
in the DNA of the
comedy store he was there for how long 20 years 25 years more yeah I think he
was 26 years when he
died and he's the unofficial archivist of of the comedy store because that
place is notorious for
no cameras no filming but sometimes he would have his flip cam from where they
also remember
everything yeah he had an amazing memory but he has this amazing catalog of
magical moments at that
place that now I think the store is working with the family and stuff to try to
retrieve especially
in a pandemic if you notice like the comedy stores instagram what's unfortunate
is that I love that
place you love that place it's such a magic but it's it's this black box no one
knows the magic that
happened there well we know and we know the fans know the people that there was
a lot of people
that would go there get that get that band should I get it off that top band
too you got another band
taking all the clothes off they had two bands on I understand the double band
thing he is the the
people that would go there a lot they knew that was one of the beautiful things
is like I ran into this
dude um before uh everything locked down and he was talking to me about a very
specific bit and he was
like I I just love how that bit has changed you know you started it out this
way yeah and then I could
see that you saw that there was like a problem with it that way and then you
you snuck it in the back
door on another way and then it started to pop I love those fans yeah the
hardcore ones who like can see
the process like guys who love jazz who don't play any musical instruments most
people aren't like that
yeah but I've noticed there's there's two store fans there's two audiences
there's a physical audience
the people who go there in LA and like like that guy can see the nuance and
then there's the online
audience you don't realize how big the store is just sort of culturally and
throughout the country
they can't go to the store every day so they don't know and it's almost like
the online version is is
