there was a death at the comedy store this week uh a man died a man died and a
man died you know a
man died and and he died he died and the man named jeff and jeff was a pianist
at the comedy store
and he was probably i mean he was human furniture really he was a he was like a
water fountain of that
place and i meant that because he would really he would he kind of spit a lot
when he talked but
also because he was a fixture you know he was he was just a beloved man he was
the pianist
and when you brought up on stage when he broke when you came up on stage he
would play you
up and you know as comedians we're so much in our head we're in our own ego a
lot of times so once
they call your name it's just you feel your body walking up there and then you
feel your body
grabbing the mic i would always say you guys give it up for jeff over here you
know he's blind i would
say and um and um and he wasn't blind you know but he would pretend he was
blind you know he would just
kind of blind out and uh and he did it every time every time i got on stage
there it was just this little
moment that he and i had and um and i know that sounds crazy but it was just
this thing that was
a constant
and we would have some nice chats you know he would always tell me nice things
you know hey man this
thing this bit you're doing it's really it's good yeah you're doing a good job
just keep doing what you're doing nobody's doing what you're doing and he made
me feel hopeful
you know he gave me a lot of hope
and he also gave me he gave me a rape whistle also but um
but yeah he died you know he died
and uh
and he died and he died and um
he died
like three four days ago
and it really breaks my heart man because part of me wonders did he die from
just the separation
you know i think he was 60 or 70 years old he might have been 75 years old
and part of me wonders how much of a man how much can a man's
you know with no connection
like how many more people are we losing
from covid because of disconnection
and i don't know if we'll know the repercussions of some of that
you know especially a lot of people that struggle with addiction and struggle
with
um those sorts of you know in all types of addiction you know it's like when we
isolate it can be really not good
and so i wonder how many
how many people just stuck in their own
little worlds without some reflection in the universe to let them know that
they're good or they're okay
you know as much as jeff played us on his keys and brought us up there every
night
uh
we everybody looked over at him and smiled
everybody acknowledged
i mean he'd go blow a joint
you know
he was gassed up
son that dude
he missed half of his work
you'd get off stage and
and be ready to bring up the next person
he went even there
he literally had to work like
12
one minute spots
throughout the night
and he would probably make about eight of them
um
but it was just he came there and he just
everybody loved him
he was this weird
like you know sometimes you throw one of those little rubber balls
and it just goes
it just goes
and it's bouncing off
and that's this
and it's bouncing
and he was like that
he just touched everybody
um
and and he had crazy stories man
he he he got aids bro
he got aids and he
you know and i would even joke from stage
you know jeff right here
y'all give it up for jeff
he's terminally ill
you know and uh
and he got aids man
and i think that's brave as hell
people say you know
you know say this and that about aids
but i think that's that's brave as hell man
and um
he has a great episode with brian scolaro
that is out
and he had recorded it five days before his death
and you can go listen to that
we'll put the link as that
as that as well
in in below
and man he you know
and he just he used to tell me about being young
and being in a place called province town
and it was real gay
you know
real like kind of gay hit men
dude come up and just stab you six or seven times
with that peter bro
with that wainer
that kind of place you know
you're trying to buy a soda
and they give you half a cup of cop
you know when he said he got taken advantage some
and
and then he ended up out in los angeles
and uh
and he thought his life was going to end
but his life really began
when he got out there
um
and i didn't really know that i would care as much
not to say that meanly
but some you just don't know
when some people leave the earth
how much it's going to hit you
and it just you know
it didn't
it just made me realize
how different things are going to be
and how much a lot of people might be struggling
um
you know and i didn't i didn't never know
you know he really had i mean i just
for him to wake up and be positive every day
and having gay aids man
and to just be
to show up every day
you know
and uh
and that's
you know
and that's really the
that blood ghost baby aids
and um
yeah i just want to say thank you jeff man
you know
and we love you bro
and you were nice
and you were warm
and you were kind
and
you didn't ever be wild
or try to fuck
or do anything wild
like that
you just
you know
you gave homestead
to people that needed it
um
and i and i felt like you would have shared with anybody

but
uh
you know
life is just this
it's like
life is just like this

it's like a
like an outfit
or a costume
or a coat
and the second i start to kind of feel like i know what it feels like
it
it turns into like a
just a different
and i can never
i can never wear it right
i can never know how i look in it

of life feeling tailored

been blown.
