Taken from Joe Rogan Experience #1270 w/Lenny Clarke: • Video

True story: Around 1990-91 Sam Kinison was playing at the the Stambaugh auditorium in Youngstown Ohio. I took off a Wednesday from bartending for the first time in three years and brought my brother who was also a huge fan. We laughed so hard I almost fell out into the aisle laughing. The next day I went back to work and everyone including both owners said Sam Kinison stopped by with his bus and I thought this was a huge joke on me so I ignored everything they said. They said, Sam went behind my bar and did a routine and showed how to get high off a can of whip cream then took everyone on his bus. One the waitresses told him I was a big fan and he signed the back of a menu "To David From Sam Waaaaaaaaaa!" a few days later the pictures were developed and he was there behind the bar with a can of whip cream in his mouth. I was ill for months afterwords.

He killed himself at the age of 67, while talking on the phone with his wife when his family was visiting him, including his son. The data on drug addicts and well being is not encouraging (there is a reason they seek chemicals to make them feel good). That guy's life probably was terrible. You don't kill yourself due to excess well being from being high on life.

Everyone has their opinion. I personally think Sam was one of the BEST of all time. I get people think he was repetitive or he relied on gimmicks, but he paved the way for lots of comedians to explore the highs and lows of cadence and delivery. He would start off real quiet and composed, and then just start screaming and getting huge pops from the crowd… Such a brilliant mind that was plagued by drug addiction and self doubt… Long live the king!

Testimony - Between the ages of 15-25 I was a bum, alcoholic, fornicator, adulterer…Couldn’t do nothing in life and had a lazy work ethic…Was a stand-up comedian for 2 years because I saw Sam Kinison perform and I felt I related to him and tried to emulate him in my life. I did. Fornication, adultery, filthy mouth, etc… I appeared in comedy clubs in Philadelphia and South Florida. I was performing at a club where Franklin Ajaye was the headliner and Brian Regan was the opening act. I was one of the other six comedians on the bill that night. I thought I was on my way to fame and fortune. A few years later Sam Kinison died and that “rocked” my world. I thought man if he could die like that (suddenly) who am I? At that time I thought all of my heroes were dead now - Moe, Larry, Curly, Ronnie Van Zant, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrisson, John lennon, etc..Now, Sam Kinision. I realized that life is futile and fleeting and fame and money will not save you in that hour of death… Eventually I realized I was a sinner in the hands of a Holy God. I had broken all of the TEN COMMANDMENTS and there was no hope for my soul. I was guilty. One Sunday night in 1992 instead of watching football or the TV show Married with Children I went to Church and heard an evangelist preach and I knew God was speaking to me through his son Jesus Christ. (Romans 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved) Well, I called upon Jesus to save me, and I was at that same instant. All of the pain and heartbrokeness that I experienced in my life left me. Almost like invisible weights that held me down my whole life left me and I have not been the same since. That same peace and joy can be yours if you let Jesus save you as well.

That story of Sam being hit by a car and changing his personality resonates with me. I had a student to whom the same thing happened. Prior to being hit, he was a normal high school kid, played baseball, had a girlfriend. After his head injury, he physically stooped, lost much of his intellect, and looked and acted like an evil dwarf. At the age of sixteen, he actually looked like a future sexual predator or mass murderer. It was both very sad and very creepy.

Bob Saget had a show, Rosanne did,Jerry had the biggest and he wasn't even as close to funny as most of the comedians that night. Sam was the best. Marriage, Marlboros, omg! What a show.

I was one of those kids in school watching that shuttle launch. I will never in my life forget it because of the way my teacher acted. I am 45 years old now and that was grade school. But I can still remember everything that happened after that shuttle exploded. It was the last time we watched a shuttle launch in school.

The teacher who passed in the Challenger shuttle accident was Christa McAuliffe. She taught in my hometown. The teacher who subbed for Christa while she was in the NASA program lived directly below my apt (Eileen liked to argue about whose turn it was to shovel the walk, just cuz she had to do it once...lol). January 28, 1986 was a day I'll never forget - almost on par with the day JFK was shot. Easy to remember exactly where you were, who was there, etc; like a video time-stamp in your brain.

I lived in Tulsa for years. Stood on Kinison's grave and read that epitaph many times. Sam was my all time favorite. He very rarely came to Tulsa to do comedy, because, that's where he used to preach. He was doing a one-time appearance in Tulsa, and I was set to go. My boss at the time said I had to work or get fired that night. I worked. Huge mistake. Sam died not too long afterwards.

wtf i can relate to the car accident thing, i was a pretty reckless kid when i was 18 already but after this terrible accident where i was actually totally fine, one friends face was so covered with blood from a cut on his head in the dark it just looked like a rush of blackness over his face and the other one was in the icu for over a month because he actually got thrown out of the car and it hit him while he was falling and broke his back and all these other gnarly injuries , but i was recently thinking maybe something happened to me even though i didnt show any external injuries, things got wayy out of control after that. i still have problems with impulse control and am a recovering addict. i would walk around stores at like 11am in pajamas and a bath robe drinking beer from a large mcdoanlds cup and going back to the car multiple times to refill it with O.E. i didnt care about much before that but after i did not give a fuck about anything or what anyone said and thought.

I remember seeing a special on TV about Sam kinison and it was after he passed away and his brothers were talking about him and they were talking about how they were in a evangelist circuit I'm not sure what state it was in but they would go and do the sermons and at the end of each sermon they would hand out the collection plate and what was ever in the collection plate is what each Minister took home that night for their sermon well a young preacher got up there and gave a really horrible sermon and they sent out the collection plate and it only came back with like maybe 5 or $10 in it and the young man had no way to get home he didn't have money for a bus ride back home so Sam being Sam goes up to the Pew opens up a briefcase and pulls out of 357 Magnum puts it into the rafters of the church they were in and shoots it and then says the kid needs money they send out the collection plate again and it comes back with I believe it was over $500 this guy was the best there ever was

Never forget being up late watching a comedy special from Dangerfields that featured Sam in his early years, I was like 17 or something, that was showing on HBO. For some reason I taped it because I was tired and didn’t think I’d stay up that late. Never laughed so hard in my life. Next day I call my friends over to have them watch this. We all became instant fans and would quote those jokes for years.

I love how Lenny suddenly remembers a story....OH!
True story: Around 1990-91 Sam Kinison was playing at the the Stambaugh auditorium in Youngstown Ohio. I took off a Wednesday from bartending for the first time in three years and brought my brother who was also a huge fan. We laughed so hard I almost fell out into the aisle laughing. The next day I went back to work and everyone including both owners said Sam Kinison stopped by with his bus and I thought this was a huge joke on me so I ignored everything they said. They said, Sam went behind my bar and did a routine and showed how to get high off a can of whip cream then took everyone on his bus. One the waitresses told him I was a big fan and he signed the back of a menu "To David From Sam Waaaaaaaaaa!" a few days later the pictures were developed and he was there behind the bar with a can of whip cream in his mouth. I was ill for months afterwords.
Man, that had to be such a huge kick in the gut.
It was Kenton since he is my favorite comedian of all-time and everyone I worked with rubbed it in for weeks. But his death till this day bothers me. I can't even envision his comedy and insights if he lived until 2019.
I was at that show in Youngstown! I think it was 89-90. I got to meet him that night, nicest guy ever.
During the show he was asking the audience where to buy whip-its(nitrous/CO2) and they told him about a head shop that was nearby
Lol. That’s better than a kinison joke. Thank you for your misery
Sam was a regular at the Comedy Store in Hollywood and was always hysterical! He drove a Corvette with EX REV on his license plate. A Hollywood legend!
"I WILLED THIS!" Holy shit, lol.
Sam Kinison is one of the few comedians you can believe every story about.
I've only now heard about him. There really are people like that in the world. And those people, the crazier the story, the more legit it actually is
I believe the outrageousness of them, the only thing I don't buy at this point is half of the "I was there" aspect of people telling them. Partying with Sam has become the "I was at Woodstock" of anyone involved in comedy.
@@kentonkruger8333 so true! People somehow think in their heads that if they can attach themselves to somebody as famous and legendary as Sam Kinison, their social status and worth goes up😝. As far as the days strait of partying & amount of drugs done on top of just insane fearlessness shit he would pull, is attributed to a head injury that changed his personality he had as a kid.
If you didn’t believe it he wouldn’t be as funny. His natural talent to make people laugh was and is one of the greatest ever, dark humour and genius comes from a dark place
Him and Joey Diaz
This is the first Joe Rogan show I've watched in its entirety. Love Lenny Clark. Good health to you sir.
It's Clarke with a eeeee
I really miss Sam. Saw him five times. Never a bad show.
Saw him three weeks before he was killed. We were third row. Called a friend of mine girlfriend. Her mom answered what a show. RIP bad Sam
Sad he’s gone 😞
DigitalRanger I saw him twice! I totally agree with you.
Fuck that loud mouth puke.. ;)
Very lucky to be alive and see him .... Cheers 🍺🍺🍺🍺
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me - Hunter S. Thompson
He killed himself at the age of 67, while talking on the phone with his wife when his family was visiting him, including his son. The data on drug addicts and well being is not encouraging (there is a reason they seek chemicals to make them feel good). That guy's life probably was terrible. You don't kill yourself due to excess well being from being high on life.
@@relaxingaudioforchillongou488 You beat me to it. Everything you said is 100% accurate.
zr ent Some people aren’t meant to be here a long time. Neither are rainbows, eclipses, meteor showers, and fireworks displays. It’s uncanny how these people usually accomplish more in their short life than the average person in 2-4 times as long. Even non famous people who are of this wild breed are talked about and missed far more in their death than you tell stories about most people you know for years.
@@yourinnervoiceyourinnervoi8552 Well, I almost died at the age of 17 in a train accident and I'm glad I'm here playing with my grandkids and not a dead famous guy.
JunkBoxHero I am glad you are still around as well. I simply submit for thought that there seems to be a type of person that will have experiences, travel and meet people, which the average person will only dream of. These people will be revered by their social group, as well as occasionally by a large number of people through celebrity status, as being objects of legend. Many suffer mental health issues or substance abuse. I don’t advocate either suicide or drug abuse. I do know what I see and have lived. Examples: Robin Williams, Tesla, Belushi, Van Gogh, Jimi Hendrix,
Sam floating away is one of the best drug stories I've ever heard😂😂😂
i love how natural the idea to reach over and pull him down seems to have come
"Thank you Lenny"... lol
I wish they could find that guy Magic and find out what happened in that hotel room
I met Sam Kinison in Vancouver in the elevator of a hotel I was applying for a job. he signed the back of my resume. super nice guy
Did you get the job ?
Sam stories are great, but Lenny Clarke is a legend in his own right. One of the best pods i've heard in a while.
LeroyBrown93 what show did Lenny play on?
Great stories,I could listion to Lenny for hours!
Rescue Me
Baddest comedian in the whole damn town...
After reading that, I feel I should elaborate. Lenny is the comedian, and the City of Boston is the town... DAMN IT!! I messed this up wicked hard! This was my first reply ever, and I frickin blew it. Sorry, guys...
I only really remember him from his appearances on Fox shows like Married with Children and In Living Color. Something about Sam being Al Bundy's Guardian Angel is just.. hilarious and perfect.
That was such a great episode.
Paulafan5 I love that episode. Fun fact: he was originally cast as Al Bundy and Roseanne Barr was cast as Peggy. Fun Fact 2: lm a Bundy
@@damnthetorpedoes3003 I didn't know either of those things. That's cool, I lived across the street from some Bundys.
Paulafan5 still funny today when I think about it
I heard they're going to remake Married With Children and make it all PC. I hate this pussy ass generation
Sam in the back to school scene with Rodney was hilarious 2 great comedians just awesome!
@BosoxnationI972 dumbest shit I ever heard I'm not a kid I'm a grown ass man I seen all his stand ups even Don rickles, Richard pryor,Eddie Murphy etc.etc.. it's just a great scene with two iconic comedians so take ur shit for brains opinion somewhere else 😂😂😂😂
Love Rodney! I saw him in Vegas and he had me rolling!
Sam Kinison's first HBO Special from the Comedy Store with the twins at the beginning - later he introduced Hugh Hefner - is a very close second to the greatest stand-up movie ever - Richard Pryor-live in concert - from around 1977. Before his addictions took over - Sam Kinison was truly brilliant. Sad he's gone.
Sam and Pryor are both from Peroria, Illinois
He lived his life on the wild side and to think he died in a random car crash. I like to believe the story that he was talking to someone right before he passed. Someone told him it was ok to go.
Some kids who were drunk hit and killed him. And he was on the road to recovery and had a stable relationship. Ironic doesn't even come close.
@@VoiceOfTheEmperor bastard kid Troy Pierson only got a year probation too. I only hope karma has caught up to him
Makes me think of Stevie Ray Vaughn, who also recovered from extreme drug & alcohol abuse, only to die in a plane crash.
@@tunafang stevie died in helicopter crash.
@@allencollins6031 Yes! My bad.
I could listen to Lenny Clarke forever.
Everyone has their opinion. I personally think Sam was one of the BEST of all time. I get people think he was repetitive or he relied on gimmicks, but he paved the way for lots of comedians to explore the highs and lows of cadence and delivery. He would start off real quiet and composed, and then just start screaming and getting huge pops from the crowd… Such a brilliant mind that was plagued by drug addiction and self doubt… Long live the king!
You know, If I learn how to f*** really good...I wouldn't have to give half my sh** away, EVERY FIVE F*****G YEARS!!!
Sam is my comedy hero. I cried like a baby when that man died. Imagine the material we missed out on the last 30 years. FFS!! Rest in peace ✌️
Same here, not a comic ever made me cry. Robin Williams was a taught obe to get over too
I miss Kinison. We really need more like him in this day and age.
More drug addicts... great!

@@rubberchix and what do you do sweety

I saw Sam Kinison live at the bar at Elvis Presleys home in Palm Springs super high with lines in front of him while still telling jokes to the few of us that were present and staying at Presleys for a night, AFTER his show at Comedy Haven in Palm Springs. Also present was Rudy Sarzo and possibly his wife Rebecca (@33 years ago) along with his opening act and just a couple others. Night to remember forever ❤ loved Sam
Testimony - Between the ages of 15-25 I was a bum, alcoholic, fornicator, adulterer…Couldn’t do nothing in life and had a lazy work ethic…Was a stand-up comedian for 2 years because I saw Sam Kinison perform and I felt I related to him and tried to emulate him in my life. I did. Fornication, adultery, filthy mouth, etc… I appeared in comedy clubs in Philadelphia and South Florida. I was performing at a club where Franklin Ajaye was the headliner and Brian Regan was the opening act. I was one of the other six comedians on the bill that night. I thought I was on my way to fame and fortune. A few years later Sam Kinison died and that “rocked” my world. I thought man if he could die like that (suddenly) who am I? At that time I thought all of my heroes were dead now - Moe, Larry, Curly, Ronnie Van Zant, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrisson, John lennon, etc..Now, Sam Kinision. I realized that life is futile and fleeting and fame and money will not save you in that hour of death… Eventually I realized I was a sinner in the hands of a Holy God. I had broken all of the TEN COMMANDMENTS and there was no hope for my soul. I was guilty. One Sunday night in 1992 instead of watching football or the TV show Married with Children I went to Church and heard an evangelist preach and I knew God was speaking to me through his son Jesus Christ. (Romans 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved) Well, I called upon Jesus to save me, and I was at that same instant. All of the pain and heartbrokeness that I experienced in my life left me. Almost like invisible weights that held me down my whole life left me and I have not been the same since. That same peace and joy can be yours if you let Jesus save you as well.
Thanks for TELLING THE TRUTH. GOD BLESS YOU.
Yeah Lotta people need Jesus today. The world would be in a much better place.
For years, I laughed my ass off at Sam Kinison’s jokes about marriage long before I was married. Now that I’m married, listening to those jokes are even funnier because I can relate. The face of hell lol!!!!
"This is the face of every married man when he looks in the bathroom mirror every morning. rrrroooaaaAAAAAAAGGHHHHH!!!! WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO TO MY LIFE????!!!! OW AUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

Thanks for the stories of a legend.
Amazing golden stories about one of the greatest! 🙏
I watched this entire video with my eyes wide open. Holy shit, these stories! Wow!
I never thought I'd laugh at the Challenger explosion LMAO!!!!!!
His imitation of Sam is spot-on 😆👍🏻
Personally, I would go with "pretty good", but... It's Lenny. The judges tell me they will allow it. 👍
I can listen to Lenny's accent all day!!!!!! They talk Kinison, but Lenny was/is a legend himself!
His Sam impression is on point
I could listen to Lenny tell old stories all day!!!
Efin Hysterical “He starts to float away “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that Challenger story. It's cool hearing personal anecdotes about what was going on with people when landmark events like that happened.
Its true about the Challenger disaster. I remember watching it in my 2nd grade class in southern NH where the teacher, Christa McAuliffe, who was on board the Challenger was from, as it EXPLODED! It was crazy. The teachers were in tears (they knew her) and didn't know what to do! Kids screaming and crying, a friend of mine was like, "awesome!" Cuz he thought it looked like something out of Star Wars... It was a crazy scene.
Kids will be kids😆
Only she's still alive
I love hearing these stories about these great great comedians. Pure classics
I saw Sam at the Living Room in Providence RI before he hit it big. His first album had just come out and he crushed it. I still remember his manager standing next to us in the crowd saying ‘this is the last small show he will be at, he is about to get huge”. Prophetic words.
I could listen to this all day.
Lenny is an exceptional raconteur!
LOL! I love hearing old war stories from people back in the day
The story of his death of maybe seeing an angel or talking to god gave me chills .
Remember him as an angel in Married With...?
Well... If Marc Maron did so much cocaine with Sam, that he heard voices for a year....
😆 🤣 😂 you people believe anything
I met his mom in Tulsa. She was driving his car. Some kind of eighties cadillac. I knew his brother, had lunch with him. He was a preacher too.
@@imnotimpressed420 and you believe nothing???? 🤔🤔🤔
When Lenny said Sam was floating away and he went ti bring him down and Sam said thank you I laughed so hard I almost dropped my phone in concrete
Lenny Clark reminds me a lot of Robert Loggia who played Feech La Manna on The Sopranos. REALLY funny.
Love hearing stories about Kinison.
I don't think I have seen Joe laugh so hard as this in all his youtube videos.
You gotta see him with Joey diaz then. Joey almost gives him a heart attack from laughing
@ 8:27 "his head was broken" that was funny Joe!
Great story! And respect to Joe Rogan for keeping Sam relevant ✊
I never heard of Sam Until today (I was born in 93...) and now I’m down a rabbit hole of videos lol
Enjoy the ride.
You will beg god to forget his face!!! AH AUGH!!!!
Sam > Dice
You were born TOO LATE!!! HAHAHA HAHAHA
I never laughed so hard especially the being married bits. So fucking true.
I have a friend since jr high school who had a bad car accident in high school and was fearless after that. He was a downhill skier in the Poconos with Jean Claude Killy. He later went out as a ski instructor in Vail, Colorado and Sun Valley, Idaho. He also was a fearless dirt biker as well besides having his own painting business.
I can just imagine sam kinison yelling at the tv set in the 80's "I WILLED THIS TO HAPPEN!!!" with the beret and everything.
"Dangerously Trashed" That would be a good name for his biopic
My favorite Kinison bit was on the Carson show where he started sitting at a piano, seriously singing and playing "Are You Lonesome Tonight". Very nice voice. At the break of the song, where the lyrics are spoken, he says " Are you lonesome tonight? Maybe its because YOU'RE BITCH! OH! YOU'RE SUCH A BITCH"! I fell on the floor laughing. Miss ya Sam.
Love these old massive stories from a pivotal time in comedy.
I never laughed so hard in my life until I first saw him live. No comedian has made me laugh that way since.
You have bad taste in comedy
Louis ck is god
@@imnotimpressed420 you’re taste in music is gay lol

Thank you for making this video that was really cool.
Sam's insight was brilliant.
Lenny Clarke is awesome. I hope he is doing well, he looks 100 times better since losing weight. Sam Kinison was a mad man genius. I was lucky enough to see him live at The China Club in Los Angeles at his peak. I had VIP seating as usual when I was balling back in the '80s and 90's and at the table next to me was John Entwistle (bass player for the Who) and at the table behind me was Eddie Murphy and Charlie Murphy. What a show. Sam's performance was incredible. The place was rocking and he set it ablaze. God rest Sam's soul.
Yeah agree with you about Lenny, he's awesome.
Wow...dude is an incredible story teller!
True that
What great stories!
His impression is great lol “ohh OHHHH!”
Lenny is a real bro. You can see it when he tells old stories with his friend.
i loved him on Rescue Me.. fuggin' great man
I love you in this comment. As one man to another in a clearly non homosexual way. Just one buff dude wearing an oily wifebeater to another BUFF dude who is a firefighter and his shirt was freshly burned off during that big, sweaty fire he was fighting earlier and a bit of his chest hair was singed. Commere' buddy! *Brohugz* !
Lenny’s impression of Sam is a Top 10 on JRE
To hear these road, hotel, venue stories from comedians, pro wrestlers, band members, the craziness that went on. What a time to be alive and to have lived those stories.
thank you joe for this interview, I love Sam and am just starting out in stand up comedy myself. Again thank you ...and more Hunter Thompson stories, PLEASE!
I thought the dude with the hat in the thumbnail was the mom from “the goonies”.
HA! Fuckin yeah, I see it
Me too!!
Literally. I'd like to think everybody thought the exact same thing or saw Sam's name on Rogan n clicked immediately. Nobody left unsatisfied!
LMAO
🤣
Just imagine the challenger explodes live on TV and before you can even react you just hear a guy screaming at the top of his lungs “I WILLED THIS! I FUCKING WILLED THIS!”
I truly miss Sam. He was the only human being in Hollywood. What a great comedian! He died so terribly ironically!
The way he tells a story is like a mixture between Callen and Joey Diaz. Amaaazing.
I saw Sam during college in 86. My two buddies and I were 1st row at the Chesnut Cabaret as one of my friends was an aspiring comedian. I have seen many greats and to this day, he show was the best.
I really strapped in for a great story after that intro, Eggbert. What happened after I clicked "more...", you wonder?... I immediately regretted my decision is what happened, Eggbert. I believe you owe me, all of the other readers, and most of all, your 3rd grade English teacher an apology.
That story of Sam being hit by a car and changing his personality resonates with me. I had a student to whom the same thing happened. Prior to being hit, he was a normal high school kid, played baseball, had a girlfriend. After his head injury, he physically stooped, lost much of his intellect, and looked and acted like an evil dwarf. At the age of sixteen, he actually looked like a future sexual predator or mass murderer. It was both very sad and very creepy.
Both him and Rasanne premiered at Dangerfield's which was Rodney Dangerfield's club. It was Harry Anderson,Bob Saget ,Morries Lamar,Rosanne Barr, Jerry Seinfeld,and Sam Kinison. Sam came on last also another really funny guy,I forgot his name but he use to do the football guys, hilarious. And Rodney had such future talent omg! I mean imagine if Sam was alive today. Bob Saget had a show, Rosanne did,Jerry had the biggest and he wasn't even as close to funny as most of the comedians that night. Sam was the best. Marriage, Marlboros, omg! What a show. They each had like ten minutes a piece tops. But omg! Then Sam was in Back To School, Rodney's 1986 movie as the teacher who was nuts screamed and was a Vietnam veteran. He was great!
This is best Lenny appearance I’ve ever seen. So funny. Great Stories. Eric Clapton. Lol. R u kidding me? Wow
One night, I hung out with Sam, Diceman, and Pauly Shore at the bar outside of the Comedy Store. Fans in car after car driving by would beg for Sam to do his scream, and the man obliged them every time with an Ah-AHHHHHH!!!
This guy fucked
Bryan, what year was this? I thought Sam hated Dice. And the two of them were hanging out together? How did THAT go?
@@joez203 Gosh, it must have been sometime after 1985 when I began hanging out on the strip. The night started with Pauly coming up to me saying, "Okay dude, you're a witness. Sam and Diceman are actually making up! They've forgiven and forgotten and only you and I are witnessing history!" Well that was quite an honor for me. A little while later, Leslie Nielsen came driving by in a goofy looking old white car and waved at us. It was quite a night...
@@joez203 it was just an act Sam and Dice put on that they hated each other .... it was material they used on stage too .
Things that never happened...
I was very fortunate to see Sam in the early 90's. Love love love Sam.
I was one of those kids in school watching that shuttle launch. I will never in my life forget it because of the way my teacher acted. I am 45 years old now and that was grade school. But I can still remember everything that happened after that shuttle exploded. It was the last time we watched a shuttle launch in school.
The teacher who passed in the Challenger shuttle accident was Christa McAuliffe. She taught in my hometown. The teacher who subbed for Christa while she was in the NASA program lived directly below my apt (Eileen liked to argue about whose turn it was to shovel the walk, just cuz she had to do it once...lol). January 28, 1986 was a day I'll never forget - almost on par with the day JFK was shot. Easy to remember exactly where you were, who was there, etc; like a video time-stamp in your brain.

I lived in Tulsa for years. Stood on Kinison's grave and read that epitaph many times. Sam was my all time favorite. He very rarely came to Tulsa to do comedy, because, that's where he used to preach. He was doing a one-time appearance in Tulsa, and I was set to go. My boss at the time said I had to work or get fired that night. I worked. Huge mistake. Sam died not too long afterwards.

These are the podcasts I like after hours chit chat this and lost ancient civilisations 👍
It's like Gilliam's Fear and Loathing hotel room.
I remember seeing a special on TV about Sam kinison and it was after he passed away and his brothers were talking about him and they were talking about how they were in a evangelist circuit I'm not sure what state it was in but they would go and do the sermons and at the end of each sermon they would hand out the collection plate and what was ever in the collection plate is what each Minister took home that night for their sermon well a young preacher got up there and gave a really horrible sermon and they sent out the collection plate and it only came back with like maybe 5 or $10 in it and the young man had no way to get home he didn't have money for a bus ride back home so Sam being Sam goes up to the Pew opens up a briefcase and pulls out of 357 Magnum puts it into the rafters of the church they were in and shoots it and then says the kid needs money they send out the collection plate again and it comes back with I believe it was over $500 this guy was the best there ever was
"I'm not a good role model for impressionable youth." ~ Sam Damn it he was awesome when he was on his game!
Never forget being up late watching a comedy special from Dangerfields that featured Sam in his early years, I was like 17 or something, that was showing on HBO. For some reason I taped it because I was tired and didn’t think I’d stay up that late. Never laughed so hard in my life. Next day I call my friends over to have them watch this. We all became instant fans and would quote those jokes for years.
I love how Lenny suddenly remembers a story....OH!
