Lenny Clarke - Heckler's Son Wanted Revenge... 20 Years Later! | Joe Rogan

Well, you know, Joe, it was like, you could do whatever you want. We started comedy in Boston, so there were no rules. And if there were any rules, we'd break the rules. And we made up our own rules. And that's why, like, today, you see how it is. Today, I really enjoy working theaters, but the clubs, you know, the other day, this person had called me. I hate it. People say, you're so good with hecklers. You know why? Because I hate them. I don't want to deal with them. I want to do the show. I throw you off, you're getting going and they're breaking my mind. And you say shit that you go, oh, and they start crying. You know, and they go, well, why the fuck would be? I'm trying to do a show for you. Yeah. I had a guy approach me. I'm sorry to interrupt you. No, please. I had a guy, I did a thing for Dana Farmer the other night, raised more money than they ever raised. It was great. Everyone's saying, oh, thank you so much. What is Dana Farmer? Dana Farmer, it's cancer research, you know. It's like the Jimmy Fund and stuff like that. So they asked me, I said, yeah, I'll do it. So it was nice, it was a big event, the Mandarin Oriental, fantastic living. And this guy comes up to me and goes, you know, everyone likes you, but I hate you. I want to rip your face off. And I go, hey, it's nice to meet you too, right? So he grabs my water. I go, you can have it. And I walk away to take a picture. So I come back and he says, here's your water. I go, oh, you can have it. And I go, you know, I don't know why people like you, but I hate you. And I want to rip your face off. I go, yeah, I said, we had this conversation. So now people come over. Hey, Lenny, can we talk? Get the fuck away from him. So he's screaming at people. He goes, you, you attacked my father on stage 20 years ago on a Thursday night at Granite Lakes. I'm going, hey, pal, I don't remember what I did last Thursday. Say hi to your father. He's dying. I go, hey, man, I had nothing to do with it. I've been here all night. Guy was in, they eventually had him escorted out by security. It was really wild. But I mean, Jesus Christ. Yeah, I know. You know, I mean, look, it shows you hecklers make weak babies. Oh, man. Yeah. They make dumb kids. Don't fuck with somebody if you're not. I mean, I've been doing it 42 years. I've been married two or three times. You know, there's a lot of shit I've covered. You're not going to surprise me. That's a hilarious take on it. You can have that water. Yeah. The guy grabbed, you know, I've never had security in my life, you know, because I'm a man of the people. I still take the T-jets for shits and giggles. But I mean, you know, wow, crazy. Yeah. Because I'm thinking, punch him in his throat and he'll just drop to his knees and don't even know what happened. I'll say, we need a medic, you know, get it. But then I was going to whisper to him, why don't you meet me outside 10 minutes. I'm going, I can't do that. And I was all dressed nice. And if you're going to punch someone in the throat, though, the problem is sometimes you nick the chin. The real way to do it is this. This with your hand. Just slam that fucking thing in the throat right in there. That's how you do it. If you punch someone in the throat. Yeah. First of all, you could say I pushed him away from me. Right. I fucked that up. Now someone's going to say, oh, episode. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know everything does. But that's how you, if you want to hit someone in the throat and you don't want to really hurt them, you want to get them the fuck away from you. Yeah. Just use your open hand like that. Your open hand, just like that. It's amazing how much force you can generate with your hand like that and just slam it in someone's throat. And you don't have to wind up. It's just, this is a tender area. It's very vulnerable. That's what's going through my mind. Yeah. But I'm this guy screaming at me, right? I couldn't believe it. I said, Jesus, you know, it's unfortunate. But there's always going to be fucking people that are unhinged. Oh, he's always going to be people that can't hang. But what's really amazing, Lenny, is the amount of shows that we do, how many people keep it together. Yes. Live show. Ladies and gentlemen, Lenny, Clark. It's all live. It's happening. You know, I said that the other night. This is not some program thing. I don't know where I'm going. Right. Right. I mean, you treat me good. I'll treat you better. You fuck with me. I'll follow you home and burn your house to the ground. You know, I mean, I just want to make you laugh. I'm not even, I have no hidden agenda. I'm paying the bills. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because to do stand up now is so much different than before because there were, you can't say words, you know, like you can, but no, it's dangerous. Not me. I can't. No, you're looking at an old white man. A couple more years down the road, I'll be able to say whatever I want. He's just elderly. I mean, I started in paper the other day, some kids beat up this 63 year old guy and there's a big like federal case against him because he's elderly. I go, I'm 66, you know, and I'm not going down like that guy. You know what I mean? These kids are going to be surprised. Then I go, look, I'm elderly. You know, Jesus Christ.
