Joe Met Robin Williams and Didn't Realize It

Beautiful. Oh, yeah, Robin Williams. That's amazing. Yeah, but he got the worst movie ever, Patch Adams. That's hilarious. That has to be a joke. Like, Patch Adams. Have you ever seen Patch Adams? I didn't watch that. I mean, I probably did at the time, but I don't remember it. I don't remember the premise. It's something really ridiculous. It's like a clown that works with cancer patients or something. Something along those lines? Yeah, yeah. No, he was a doctor who would use... It was based on a real true story. What'd you say, Jamie? Yes. Yeah, it was a doctor who would come in and do silly things to make the patients laugh to try and help their spirits. Yeah, but it was bad because they all died anyway. Yeah, but they died with great spirit. It was a really happy death they had. He was a rough one, man. When that guy hung himself, I was like, oh... Yeah, you know, I never got to meet him. I met him once at the improv. It was crazy. I didn't know I was meeting him until like five minutes into the conversation. I realized it was Robin Williams. How long ago was that? Years ago. Obviously, he's dead. Yeah. So not recent? No, I don't remember, but I did a show at the improv. It was quite a few years ago. It was during the time of the podcast.

And he's like really complimentary, but he obviously knows a lot about stand up. He's asking me questions about writing and questions about, you know, like certain bits, like really laughing. And then I'm like, holy fuck, this is Robin Williams. Yeah. Like I was like, oh, thanks, man. I really appreciate it. That's really cool. And like, I just think he's some cool guy. And then I realized in the middle of the conversation, this is Robin fucking Williams. Because he's got this crazy thick ass white beard. Yeah, you guys grew a real bushy beard. I think he was hiding, man. You know, I think for a lot of folks that are like real sensitive and he's obviously a real sensitive guy that that place of being that famous is fucking overwhelming. That famous and known for whether you are or not, but you're known for being always like on. Yeah. And then there's the pressure of having to be on now. So you don't disappoint the illusion. Yeah. And that's got to be fucking taxing. It's got to be always on and then just also, you know, it's just just just the pressure of everyone recognizing you everywhere you go and
