All right, I'm back. I'm back. I got the reads and everything, and what a
difference a couple hours makes.
As all of you already know, I just literally just found out about the untimely
and shocking passing of Bob Saget,
and I don't even know what to say. I'm just absolutely in shock.
I mean, I don't know what else to say than what everybody else said, just, like,
absolutely the nicest guy and just so goddamn funny
and absolutely loved making people laugh and love jokes, and whenever I would
text with him, he would go on until you stopped.
Like, I don't care if it was, like, 3 in the morning.
If you were joking back and forth, that guy just loved to improv and just make
people laugh,
and one of the most amazing things that I found about that guy was he was
literally friends with comedians
that were only a couple years into the business, all the way to legends working
in Vegas,
some of whom who weren't selling as many tickets and kind of were working off
the strip.
He would fly out there. He'd go to their shows, encourage them, tell them they're
funny, and have dinner with them,
and I don't know. I met him, I believe the first time I met him was probably on
the Opie and Anthony show.
I can't remember if it was the virus tour or if he was in studio first,
but I was immediately just struck with how down-to-earth he was.
It was fucking Bob Saget, right?
And, yeah, I mean, he was just wire to wire.
I knew him a little more than 15 years, and just wire to wire was just an
absolute sweetheart.
I'd never had one argument with him.
He was just the nicest guy, and I'm really very thankful that I had a very
complete friendship with him.
We told each other that we loved each other, shared stories about growing up
and how the hell we both ended up being comedians, and, yeah, man.
I mean, if that guy wasn't making people laugh, he was out organizing a benefit
to help other people out,
and that is why you see the kinds of tributes that he's getting.
It's just fucking brutal.
Fucking brutal. I'm absolutely in shock.
So, with that, wow.
Wow.
Jesus Christ.
Someday I will tell you guys.
I'll tell you more stories that he would get a fucking kick out of.
But it's always tragedy plus time, so.
All right.
Let's leave it at that.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Back to the podcast.
Rest in peace, Bob.
I love you to death, but you already knew that.
You already knew that.
Why did I just say I love you to death?
He would have got a kick out of that.
Stupid.
All right.
Butcher box, everybody.
Meal prepping is difficult.
Not as difficult as when a good friend of yours dies.
All right.
This is going to seep into the rest of the podcast.
Sorry.
All right.
Here's a Saget story for you.
I got to change the names here.
One of the last times I hung out with them,
I was hanging, you know, with a bunch of comics,
some musicians and everything.
Typical comedy store.
Just a great mix of people.
We were up on the roof.
Thanks to Mike Binder and his documentary.
They built a little area up there where you can smoke cigars.
He did it for that documentary he did about the comedy store.
So we're up on the roof.
And we would tell, you know, just talk in comedy.
And there's this story about this one comic.
I can't say the guy's name.
But his deal, this is so bad.
His deal was when a comic would die,
he would call up that comics agent and be like,
oh, my God, I heard about so-and-so.
I'm so sorry.
I just want to make sure you're doing okay.
And then they'd be like, oh, gee, so-and-so.
I'm so glad you called.
It's so nice of you to reach out.
And the comic would be, yeah, if there's anything I can do,
you know, I'm always here for you, buddy.
We all love so-and-so, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then in the end he goes, yeah, listen,
if he had any corporate dates on the book you need me to cover,
just let me know.
He was actually calling up to take the dead comics gigs
under the guise of acting like he gave a shit.
So anyway, how do I tell the story without giving away who it is?
They fucking, there was a story, a comedian,
his wife was downstairs making breakfast.
The guy died in the morning.
Okay?
That's the loose version of what happened.
So we were all just sitting there thinking about that.
And then out of nowhere Saget goes, so-and-so probably came by and asked for
his eggs.
I can't do it justice.
I also had to leave out so many details, but it was the fucking line of the
night.
And I remember I was up on the roof with Bartnick,
and Bartnick has this thing when somebody just does a really dark, sick joke,
which was so much of Bob's humor, which is so funny because he was such a
loving, caring guy.
He could just go so dark.
I remember Bartnick just closing his eyes and just threw his head back and
started laughing.
And I remember laughing and yelling out, line of the night.
And I remember seeing how happy, yeah, how happy that made him.
You know, there is something to be said about dying young
because then you don't have to hang around and watch all your friends die.
You know, I always wondered what it was like, you know, these people lately,
like Betty White, dying at like fucking 99.
It's just like, you literally, everybody you went to school with is dead.
Everybody, you got like movies you did, like everybody's dead.
That's got to be like, why isn't anybody asked?
I guess it's not a nice thing to ask an older person,
but I would love, you know, like one of my relatives lived close to 105
and she was on like her third set of friends.
She was a card player, you know, she always played bridge and everything.
They always say that's so good for your brain.
And she just was sharp as a tack right to the very end.
And I remember my relatives telling me, yeah, she's outlived the people she
grew up with,
the next generation, the generation after that.
Yeah, she'd always be playing cards with women in their 60s and 70s.
And, you know, I'd come back, you know, and every 10 years,
there'd be a different group of women and she would still be sitting there.
It was just fucking, it's like one of those actors that just never leaves law
and order.
The whole cast changes around him.
All right.
Anyways, that's the, that is the end of the podcast, everybody.
And, uh, yeah, man, this was a weird one.
Um, once again, I can't believe Bob is gone.
And, uh, you know, if you guys didn't know him, go read all the tributes
and, uh, the world would be a better place if everybody tried to be more like
the great Bob Saget was.
Um, that is it.
I will talk to you guys on Thursday.
Okay.
