Joe Rogan & Ron White on The Impact of Bill Hicks

Houston Houston Candace Greenlee and pineapple did you know worked was pineapple once you know any used to do he would drive all the way across Houston to ignore me that's what he he did it he did it all the time and I'd had no reason to be there and I and I know that some of those guys didn't like me because I don't I don't know why I don't know why but they were really really cliquish and I went in there one night and had a horrible set and and I was following Hicks and you know and I was a really green show but in the right circumstance you know in a comedy club with nothing great happening before you it kind of worked a little bit that night didn't work at all and but and I was probably getting a little more work than those guys were some of them mm-hmm and they're like oh he sucks well the fact of the matter is I did suck because my hacked would uh you know you don't want to follow me I would say that to make the story better I wasn't following Hicks but he was you know or Kennison but they were both there okay and had done set but everybody was good I mean the Greenlee was good all these guys were seasoned pros that that was a hot line up and but but I never felt you know like they hit II of them like me except for Higgs and I came to see him you know do do shows and I asked him to do the story about just a John Davidson and the man yeah and he goes his what he says he goes don't stand next to the exits just a tip people just walk out of the show when I watched him do that he he he did that at the Knicks comedy stop in Boston and he cleared the [ __ ] room man it was it was crazy because at the end of the show there was me and Greg Fitzsimmons and maybe three or four other comics of five or six people in the crowd there's like maybe 20 people left all told laughs and our [ __ ] asses alright everybody else is getting up angry I saw it go both you know I've seen be crowds to death I saw the set one night at the last stop in Austin and nobody in the room could breathe and he was in the mood to do it and you know and you know and that and I think sometimes he was and sometimes he wasn't yeah or whatever but he was in the mood and decided to just [ __ ] stab us all in the face and and it was just it was beautiful he was exceptional you know whether or not people think he was one of the greats like that's entirely subjection 'el right it's subjective rather it's completely up to your own interpretation but to me he changed comedy in a lot of ways because he made people talk about things that were important because everybody else was talking about nonsense you're talking about airline food and how come I can't leave my seat standard normal shift and he was coming along talking about positive drug stories you know a man on acid realize it all matters men are energy condensed to a slow vibration like that whole [ __ ] bit was theirs Tom with the weather that bear is amazing yeah no no it was anyways influential I mean I think I can say this about Bill Dixon and I am an expert at stand-up comedy I would have a triple doctorate in if you gave those kinds of things for the work I've the amount of time I've put in 200 and in mmm and you as a peer would have the exact same thing so for me to listen to someone's opinion about stand-up comedy they have to have a lot of cred to me where I really give a [ __ ] what they think okay so here's what you should think the only thing that every comic from my generation agrees on is he was better than us and that's the only thing that they agree on and and and they and I can't find anybody that has a big argument that he wasn't that was the the the best that ever lived no but did he influence me more than body else in view probably more than anybody else because you're certainly that way also right somebody built that bridge yes and you now you feel free to talk about anything you know none of yours act as ever hack you know there were a lot of hacks but I think beings freed people not to be a hack you know yeah he he cared people that he made it shameful you know I'm talking about hack but there was also one you cured I love stealing material
