Joy (And Dave) to the World

First off, just wanna let you guys know I am working on getting video up from my appearance on The Joy Behar Show last night. If any of you techie geniuses have a really easy way of getting video off of a DVR and onto my MacBook, please let me know.

Getting on the show actually went down pretty quickly, via a phone call in the morning, hence the short warning on here. I guess how that's how it works in the biz. Until yesterday, I thought people just not calling you back is how it works. Nice to be wrong sometimes.

I was thinking today that if, just if, I announced my retirement today, that I would've actually accomplished something that I really wanted to do when I started comedy, which was sit across the table on TV from someone I respected and get a chance to be funny. Next month, I'll have been doing comedy for 13 years (but who's counting?) and finally I got a little something back from the "in-club." Ironically, it really is just a minor thing, a ten minute blip with two other guests I'll probably never see again. But I really sensed that Joy felt that I "got it", she agreed with me on several points and chuckled at a couple of my lines. I'm sure she had no idea how influential she has been for me, especially in the last few years of my career, but I kinda felt that made the whole thing even cooler.

Anyway, without being too shmaltzy (it's a word, look it up) this did all make me think that most people really never try anything in their lives, or dare to make their dreams a reality. And I've done that relentlessly, if not insanely. While mine dream has a looooooooooooong way to go, this was a nice little step and enough of a sign to keep on keepin' on. And you really do need those signs sometimes.

So, since I patted myself on my back here, allow me to thank you guys, particularly and especially my main comment gang for making me get to my computer, even on days I feel I have nothing, to keep doing this. Cuz somehow this is as much a part of the whole thing as doing the show last night.

Ben and I have some great guests and a couple huge things coming up with The Six Pack. Without giving anything away let's just say phone calls have recently been made regarding the show that have gone across roughly 3,000 miles. Go ahead, bust our your maps and figure it out, I dare ya!

(Hint: Go west.)

OK, gonna go do a lil research on that DVR situation, in the meantime if you need more Joy you can listen in to our interview with her again by clicking here...
