talked about that so many
times but you guys in the 80s really before i came along because i came along
in 88 and you guys before
i came along you were partying hard well you know joe it was like you could do
whatever you want
we started comedy in boston so there were no rules and if there were any rules
we'd break the rules
and we made up our own rules and that's why like today you see how it is today
i really enjoy working
theaters but the clubs you know the other day this person heckled me i hate it
people say you're so good
with hecklers you know why because i hate them i don't want to deal with them i
want to do the show
right i want to create i want to make it yeah but they they throw you off you're
getting going and
they're breaking my mind and you say that you go oh and they start crying you
know
i go but why are you with me i'm trying to do a show for you yeah yeah i had a
guy i had a guy
approach i'm sorry i didn't know please i had a guy i did a i think for dana
farmer the other night
raised more money than they ever had raised it was great everyone saying oh
thank you what is dana farmer
dana farmer it's uh cancer cancer research you know it's like the jimmy fund

you but i hate you
i want to rip your face off and i go hey it's nice to meet you too right so he
grabs my water i go you

your water i go oh you can have
it now you know i don't know why people like you but i hate you and i want to
rip your face off i go
yeah yeah i said we had this conversation so now people come over hey lenny can
we talk get the
away from city screaming at people he goes you you attacked my father on stage
20 years ago on a
thursday night at granite links i'm going hey pal i don't remember what i did
last thursday say hi to
your father he's dying oh hey man i had nothing to do with it i've been here
all night guy was in they
eventually had him escorted out by security it was really wild but i mean jesus
yeah you know i mean
look well it shows you hecklers make weak babies oh man yeah well you know they
make dumb kids don't
don't with somebody if you're not i mean i've been doing it 42 years i've been
married but two or three
times you know it's a there's a lot of i've covered you're not gonna you know
you're not gonna surprise me
that's a hilarious take on it you can have that water yeah well the guy grabbed
you know i've never
had security in my life you know because i'm i'm i'm a man of people i still
take the t just for shits
and giggles but i mean you know wow crazy yeah wow because i'm thinking i punch
him in his throat and
he'll just drop to his knees and no one will even know what happened i'll say
we need a medic you know
get it and then i was gonna whisper why don't you meet me outside 10 minutes i'm
going i can't do
that man i was all dressed nice and oh if you're gonna punch someone in the
throat though the problem
is sometimes you nick the chin the real way to do it is this this with your
hand yeah just slam that
thing in the throat right in there that's how you do it if you punch someone in
the throat yeah first
first of all you could say i pushed him away from me right right i that up
right now someone's gonna
say oh episode oh yeah yeah yeah i know everything does but that's how you if
you want to hit someone
in the throat yeah and you don't want to really hurt them you want to get them
to away from you yeah just
use your open hand like that your open hand just like that it's amazing how
much force you can generate
with your hand like that and just slam it in someone's throat and you don't
have to wind up it's
no just this is a gentle this is a tender area it's very vulnerable well that's
what's going through
my mind well i'm this guy screaming at me right i couldn't believe it i said jesus
you know yeah
it's unfortunate but there's there's always going to be people that are unhinged
oh there's always going to be people that can't hang but what's really amazing
lenny is the amount
of shows that we do how many people keep it together yes live show ladies and
gentlemen
lenny clark it's all live it's happening you know i said that the other night
this is not
some program thing i don't know where i'm going right right right you treat me
good i'll treat
you better you with me i'll follow you home and burn your house to the ground
you know i mean i just
want to make you laugh i'm not here i have no hidden agenda i'm paying the
bills you know what i mean
yeah because to do stand up now is is so much different than before because
there are words you
can't say words you know like you can but no it's dangerous not me i can't no
you're looking at an
old white man a couple more years down the road i'll be able to say whatever i
want because he's just
elderly you know because i mean right i saw it in paper the other day some kids
beat up this 63 year
old guy and there's a big like federal case against him because he's elderly i
go i'm 66 you know and
i'm not going down like that guy you know what i mean these kids are going to
be surprised and i go
look i'm elderly you know it's a pretty yeah oh jesus christ yeah it's i just i
i i hope joe i really do
that this is all a cycle yes yeah yeah cyclical yeah well well either way it
works for me because
you know where i was going when i went like this do you think it'll come back i
think it's coming
around already yeah yeah i do yeah i think people are tired of political
correctness and they also
realize that it look there's there's good aspects to political correctness
right it's good to be kind
to people it's good to be nice it's not good to on the downtrodden no no punch
down on people that
are disenfranchised i'd rather i'd rather i'd rather have you as a friend than
an enemy i really would
because a lot of times you forget your enemies you know you're at a party going
oh shit i forgot i
fucking hate you you know have you ever had that happen to you sure oh yeah i'd
rather i'd rather you
you know and people say well you don't worry what people think what people
think is usually what you
are if you're a dick then people are gonna think you're a dick well i'd rather
be a nice guy i've gotten
way way better just letting go i don't care i mean holding grudges and wanting
to get back at someone
that's nonsense it's for fools yeah there's people that they they they grind on
it all day like they'll
hate someone and they they just want to talk about that person all day and they're
all it's always a waste of time it's a waste of time doesn't do you any good no
no just let it go
let it go and as you get older and i've got quite a few years on you i'm i'm in
that thing though
because someone told me holding a grudge is like drinking poison and want the
other person to die
yeah yeah i don't have time for that i got other problems i'm dealing with that
quote is for jealousy
but they both it applies with both things yeah it applies to both things it's
it's foolish it's like i
look i want people to get if if you and me have a dispute i'd like you to get
over it i'd like to get
over it too i'm not into like having enemies for life those people that want
enemies for life they
don't know what a real enemy is i know you don't know what a real enemy is you
just you're you're
you're paper tiger you're making you're just talking this is nonsense like real
enemies they want to
kill you yeah okay and if you don't want to kill me i don't want to kill you so
let's just stop
yeah it's a push nonsense yeah it's a push let it go yeah it's most most
disputes uh look we're all
different at different points in the day at different times in our life you
know you catch me
uh and i just got in some sort of a dispute with somebody and then i'm in my
car i'm gonna behave
very differently than if i just got a hug from my kids and then i get in my car
you know what i mean
yes everybody's different at different points in their life you might have just
got fired you might
have just come out somebody keyed your car yeah someone's having a bad day you
met them on a bad
day you know and i and i usually am more than willing to give people the
benefit of doubt shy
people are often misunderstood yep and and i've learned that i learned that 30
years ago if someone's
shy it's not that they're they're just they're shy they're afraid to be
friendly and give them the
benefit of doubt you know don't hate someone just because they're afraid to say
hello yeah yeah yeah
it's uh you know people deal with all kinds of different social issues you know
and a lot of
people that hold grudges and that are angry what they're really doing is they're
distracting themselves
from their own failures you know that's really what they're doing instead of
this is and i've said
i said this one of the last podcasts but i'll repeat it because it's very
important the way i look at
life is i have bandwidth i have like a let's say i got a hundred points i don'
