I mean, I only have them once 60 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.759 every few years, and what I want to remember. 61 00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.360 One of them is that I'm on it. 62 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:01.560 I have these weird elevator dreams, and in general, I'm 63 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.080 not like scared of elevators, but I have this weird 64 00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.479 thing where I am on an elevator and it's either. 65 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.240 This one manifests one of two ways. 66 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.840 Either I'm on an elevator that is sort of like 67 00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:17.599 a Willy Wonka elevator that's like could shoot up, you know, 68 00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:19.560 and somehow I know it's going to shoot up into 69 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:25.240 the sky. And like it's usually that we're all success, 70 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:28.360 it's usually that we're all going to die. 71 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:29.840 I have those kind of dreams. 72 00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.280 It's that I'm going to die in this elevator, or 73 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.560 it's that I'm I have to take an elevator and 74 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.879 it's very rickety, and I'm at like the four hundredth 75 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:39.960 floor or something. 76 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.680 Ooh interesting, interesting. 77 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.000 And it's just this elevator that's going to take forever 78 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.759 and it feels like that it's going to drop and 79 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.560 I'm going to die, you know, all like. 80 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.360 Rosanna and Dana like and then we're going to die. 81 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:54.400 And that's it. 82 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.280 Well, listen, I'm a dream therapist now, and that's why 83 00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.000 I brought this side that if I were to look 84 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.479 at it, I would say, if the elevator tries to 85 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.479 take you down, will crazy punch a higher floor? And 86 00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.360 I think, here, you've punched a higher floor like Prince 87 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.039 said to do. So what you're interpreting as a nightmare 88 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.159 is really very positive. Punched higher floor. 89 00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:13.879 I love it. 90 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.720 Yes, what I one of mine that's so disgusting. This 91 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.279 is like every couple months, I have this dream that 92 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.879 I am barefoot in a public bathroom and there's blood 93 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.560 and needles and horrible things all over the floor and 94 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.319 I have to get to the stall. But it's just 95 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.560 filthy and disgusting, and I do not know what that means. 96 00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.920 I wish there was like a positive spin on that, 97 00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:36.920 but I don't like it. 98 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:43.519 Well, I think that's just you know, you're a little 99 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.920 OCD and you're you know what your body is going, like, Okay, 100 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.319 let's practice what you would do if you were in 101 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.800 a situation where things were really dirty and you didn't 102 00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.639 want to get like a communicable disease. 103 00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.480 You don't be the practical I think the dream analysis 104 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.920 would be because I know you love that is that 105 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.839 like I don't there's like secrets or like dirty. See 106 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.920 there's like something that I don't want to deal with 107 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:12.720 or touch or expose. 108 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.040 I don't know what that is. That's what That's what 109 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:16.720 the Freudian. 110 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.600 And then the other one is that my mom tries 111 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.279 to kill me with a pillow, but that only I 112 00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.160 only have that dream now every like seven years, which 113 00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.759 I think is pretty good.

It's kind of 119 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:50.399 almost like hack. Now you were going to I think 120 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:52.600 you said I want to put you on the spot, 121 00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.000 but I feel like you said you have a mom story. 122 00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:55.639 I do. 123 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.480 That's a really good segue because I do have. And 124 00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.439 this is also goes to you hating this kind of stuff. 125 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.519 I was talking to my mom this morning, and I 126 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.360 was thinking, I was like, God, always like have these 127 00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.319 little tips or whatever. It was like, it wouldn't be 128 00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:13.560 that hard to try to like say something positive or nice, 129 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.439 like she's not going through the best time right now. 130 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.680 So she was saying, She's like she just randomly said, well, 131 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:19.560 I got to get rid of. 132 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:20.519 My A and M lamp. 133 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.399 And I was like, I don't know any of what 134 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.480 that means, you know, I don't know. She's like, I 135 00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.439 have a an Aggie lamp. So Aggie is like Texas 136 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.680 A and M. It's a college, you know, Texas A 137 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.439 and M, and they are the Aggies. And she didn't 138 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:35.879 go to Texas A and M. She went to the 139 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.199 rival school, University of Texas POKEM horns you t. So 140 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:40.800 it's kind of weird that she. I was like, why 141 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:42.240 would you even have that? And she's like, well, it 142 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.000 was Fred. Fred is her was her second husband, who 143 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:45.839 she loved very much. 144 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:47.399 And I said, well, why do you have to get 145 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:48.959 rid of the aggie lamp out of nowhere? 146 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.160 It's a good reminder, you know, And she's like, because 147 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:56.600 it just turns itself on in the middle of the net. 148 00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.480 And so I was like, well, that's Fred, he's saying hi. 149 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.160 And she was so thrilled with this suggestion because I 150 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:04.920 don't often say things like that to her. And she 151 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.480 was like, I never even thought about it like that, 152 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.959 and that is so beautiful and you're right. And I 153 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.360 was like, but you should still get rid of it 154 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.040 because it's probably a fire hazard if it's turning itself 155 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.240 on in the middle of the night. I go just 156 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.439 know Fred was saying hey. And also Fred was saying, 157 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.360 let's let go of this lamp because it's going to 158 00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.759 burn the place down. And she's like, you're right, love it. 159 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:25.920 I felt like that was a good exchange, and we 160 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.480 don't often always have great exchange. 161 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.279 I think so for sure, and I think that that's 162 00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.560 you know, you're building bridges between you and your mom. 163 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.439 Yeah, we had a nice visit when I went home, Mass, 164 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.519 I told you I bought her because you know, I 165 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:43.639 stopped going what can she do for me? How can 166 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.000 she help me emotionally? How can she be a great mom? 167 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:48.319 And I was like, what can I do? And I 168 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:50.600 switched it to what can I do for her? Because 169 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.199 that ship is sailed? So I went and bought her 170 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:53.920 a bunch of clothes and got her some cute ear 171 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.680 rings and like did a little makeover and like that, 172 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.959 and she loved it. And that's if that's the only way, 173 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:03.600 then that's the only way, right, Like why not? 174 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:05.839 Sure makes me feel better? 175 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.000 Yeah, but it was really it was a nice moment 176 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.560 because I was like, well, and I do kind of 177 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:11.839 believe in those things. I'm like, yeah, maybe Fred is saying, Hi, 178 00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.279 I don't know. I mean I think that's how did 179 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:17.199 you like it happened? 180 00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.519 Was he He was a great guy? Yeah? They were 181 00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:22.160 really good couple. 182 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.680 They were together a really long time and they were 183 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:26.800 really really right for each other. And I say that 184 00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:29.759 as someone who loved my dad more than anything. She 185 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.519 was married to my dad first for thirty four years, 186 00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:36.919 but Fred was herstilemte really Oh yeah, definitely not my dad. 187 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:38.720 I was like I always said that to them. I'm like, 188 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.720 why did you not split? I mean, you guys were 189 00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.240 the worst couple. This didn't make sense. And her answer 190 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.639 was was kind of complicated. We had some stuff in 191 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.759 the family that like neither of them wanted to handle alone. 192 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.039 I'll just say that. You know, it wasn't me, so 193 00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.519 it was just too much pressure. So they they split 194 00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:00.519 when I got to college. 195 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:01.720 Mm hmm. 196 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.120 Anyway, it's not about that, but I was.

It was a comic though. 256 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.879 Who jumped off of the Sunset Hotel though the Sunset Tower? 257 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.320 I thought they jumped off the Comedy Store onto the 258 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.320 Sunset Hotel. I love how the story keeps changing, like 259 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.559 it was Bill Cosby and like, no, he's alive. He 260 00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.360 definitely didn't jump off the Comedy store. 261 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:51.360 Speaking of Bill Cosby and not that we're done with 262 00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:53.159 this topic.

It says, why do people say the 271 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.399 Comedy Store in Hollywood is haunted? 272 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.639 Uh? 273 00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:23.519 Okay, I could read you. This is a story on 274 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:26.399 cracked dot com. Is the Comedy Store haunted? We asked 275 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:32.000 a regular. It's kind of going to be comedy while 276 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:34.240 most comedy clubs are only haunted by the ghosts of 277 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:38.120 Michael Richards and Christalia's careers. 278 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.639 That's what AI is saying. No, this is the Cracked article. 279 00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:43.240 The Comedy Store in Los Angeles has a long history 280 00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.399 of paranormal activity. The hauntings of stirred enough buzz that 281 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:52.120 Ghost Adventures did a Comedy Store episode. Oh yep, okay, yep. 282 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.559 Comic apparitions seen in the Comedy Store include that of 283 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.519 a comedian who committed suicide because of a lack of 284 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:04.320 stage time, an old show men in suits from the forties, 285 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:08.879 an old club bouncer named Gus, and even the disembodied 286 00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:10.480 sounds of an entire audience. 287 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.360 I spoke with Chills, I'm dying. My nipples just got hard. Sorry, 288 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:20.879 oh my god, I'm freaking out. The disembodied of an audience. 289 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.000 That's the scariest thing. Oh my god. 290 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.080 I spoke with Steve Byrne, a store regular for nearly 291 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:29.120 two decades, on his experiences with ghosts in the club, 292 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.720 and he eagerly told me about his run ins. 293 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.320 With the spirits. 294 00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.600 Our discussion has been edited for clarity and peppered with 295 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:36.879 Scooby Doo references. 296 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:38.120 This will be fun. 297 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.279 So the deal with the store is that at one 298 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:43.440 time it was a nightclub called Ciro's. 299 00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.720 Oh I do remember that? Remember c I R was. 300 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.440 Called Cerro That says burn Ciro's was, Well, I don't, 301 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:54.399 I don't remember it being CEO's, but I know that story. 302 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.200 Ciro's was a Hollywood night spot. Oscar after parties took 303 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.840 place at Zero's. After Sammy Davis Junior lost his eye, 304 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:05.879 the first show he did was at Ciro's. Sinatra famously 305 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.919 had a bunch of his friends show up with eye 306 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:10.679 patches to make Sammy feel more comfortable and move on, 307 00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.799 which would be horrible, but back then Sammy had a 308 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:16.279 great sense of humor about it. So you used to 309 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.279 see Dean Martin, Count Basie, Johnny Carson, Danny Kay. Okay, 310 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.559 we're getting two in the weeds here. Let's get to 311 00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.120 the get to the spook. 312 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.159 And during Prohibition the mob owned it. So there are 313 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.080 underground tunnels still to this day that lead to the 314 00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:37.039 other side of Sunset. Who interesting The basement remains why spooky? 315 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:40.080 I mean you walk in there and get chills because 316 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.879 the rumors are they would whack people either in the 317 00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:45.759 basement or walk them off the roof. But it is 318 00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:46.720 where is club. 319 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.519 Yes, yes, when it was called Ciro's, but it's the 320 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.399 comedy store. But it's where people allegedly got killed in 321 00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.240 the seventies, Sammy and Mitzi Shore and Rudy de Luca 322 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.120 started what would later become I'm the Comedy Store by 323 00:15:01.159 --> 00:15:05.080 having young comedians appear in a partitioned area now known 324 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:06.240 as the Original Room. 325 00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:08.360 Oh my god. 326 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:11.840 The Original room was partitioned off from the main room, 327 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.000 which is where the famous acts of Ciros used to perform. 328 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.519 It slowly became barren as time went on. Okay, if 329 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:21.399 you're thinking that the Comedy Store sounds like a Scooby 330 00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:24.000 Doo house, at this point, you're not alone. So this 331 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:27.919 is this guy talking again. So I personally had two 332 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.399 experiences where I was like, I need to get the 333 00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.519 fuck out of here, continues Burned. This is back in 334 00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.279 the early two thousands, when nobody hung out at the club. 335 00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:39.679 The main room was basically like a tomb. Yep, I 336 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.879 was around. Yeah, I was doing the Comedy Store back now. 337 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:43.879 I mean I didn't like it. I didn't do it often, 338 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.039 but I was doing it in the nineties, in the 339 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:49.720 early nineties, like ten years before that. I ever liked it, 340 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:52.679 though hated it. Oh so gross. This is back in 341 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:54.480 the early two thousands when no one hung out in 342 00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.120 the club, so the main room was basically like a tomb. 343 00:15:57.559 --> 00:15:59.360 There were never shows in the main room because we 344 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.039 could never get enough people in there. I remember one 345 00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:05.039 night being in a group of young comics all hanging 346 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.639 out after hours. So we're all drinking and someone was 347 00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.240 in ther bathroom that's the original room, and I had 348 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:15.440 to whiz bad, so I headed for the mainroom bathroom. 349 00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.279 Just as I reached it, I heard a door slam loudly. 350 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:21.480 I figured it was one of the guys. On my return, 351 00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:23.600 I asked if anybody slammed a door, and they all 352 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.519 swore it wasn't them. So I had heard about doors 353 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.240 closing and lights flashing and all other manner of spooky 354 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.919 crap at the store. I knew none of them did it, 355 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:38.120 and all the hairs on my arm went up. There 356 00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.559 used to be a piano in the main room that 357 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.720 Jeff Scott played as he introduced you. I remember being 358 00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.480 in dressing room of the mainroom one night, hanging out 359 00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:49.440 with some people, and we hear two keys play on 360 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.480 the piano. I look over and there's no one at 361 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:55.039 the piano. I though, Oh, ran out of the club 362 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:58.279 so fucking quick, because you hear these rumors and you think, 363 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:01.039 no way, it's all bs. But when the piano thing happened, 364 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:06.519 I was like, this thing is definitely fucking haunted. Damn 365 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.160 another story you want to hear one more? Yes, another story. 366 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:16.200 My favorite thing involves the legendary Sam Kinnison. By the way, 367 00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:21.119 By the way, on Drunkish, I just released an episode 368 00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:23.799 so you can just if you're listening to this on Monday, 369 00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.960 you can just it's this week's episode. 370 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.799 With Rich Schidner. 371 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.680 Oh wow, who told several Sam Kinnison stories. And I 372 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:35.880 should have freakin asked him if this is why the 373 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:39.640 comedy storees haunted? But this says Kennison was playing the 374 00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:42.720 original room one night while Blake Clark, who worked and 375 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.480 performed at the club, closed up the main room. Clark 376 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:48.279 heard a low murmur of voices in the main room, 377 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:53.599 which got louder and louder as during Kennison's act, both 378 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.480 Sam and Blake heard the voices get louder and chant 379 00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:57.880 it's him, it's him. 380 00:17:58.680 --> 00:17:58.759 No. 381 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.880 Lights began to flicker and the sound system started to 382 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:05.559 bug for Sam, prompting Kinnison to dare the ghosts to 383 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:10.200 show themselves, resulting in all the lights shutting off. Can't 384 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:13.960 handle this too much? Yeah, keep going. 385 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:16.079 That's it. That's it for that story. 386 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:18.319 I mean, do you think it's somebody going if everyone 387 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.160 knows it's haunted, someone just turned the lights. Someone's like, 388 00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:22.240 watch this and then they just turn the lights off. 389 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:28.920 Right, let's see. Okay, this this says, this is reddit. 390 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.480 Why do people say the Comedy Store in Hollywood is haunted? 391 00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:35.880 And has anyone ever had any strange experiences there? And 392 00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:39.880 here's the answers. There's a video on YouTube with two 393 00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.920 comedians who have been regulars at the Comedy Store called 394 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.160 Joey Diaz and Bobby Lee. They talk about how they've 395 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.559 seen rituals being performed, babies crying, and something about the 396 00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:52.200 ghost of a deceased comic appearing out of thin air. 397 00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:56.799 Bobby's mentioned it a bunch of times on different podcasts. 398 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.160 All I can say is Ghost Adventure had an investigation 399 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.240 filmed in episode there a couple of years ago. 400 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.359 And then this says, well. 401 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.079
