Everything changed - my life, my priorities, my values,
I can't make up for the 10 years I missed, but I'm trying not to miss any more. I was the best bowler in the world for eight years and had as good a career as anyone who ever played the game. I've been a very fortunate person.
I got more recognized for that commercial (Miller Makes It Right!) than any tournament I won, ... The 1960s was the glamour decade for bowling. We got as much attention and money as any sport. And there were no helmets, so we were easily recognizable and would get stopped everywhere.

Well, you know he was just being nice. That was the only steak I had that year.
I do lots of crowd work in my set, because I enjoy writing material through riffing and conversation.
As a comedy nerd, I get a lot out of the podcast because I'm genuinely interested in the people I'm talking to.
I'm fascinated by people's process. Everyone's process is a little bit different, and just to see the different paths that people take to get where they are is really interesting to me.
