      I agree, but... it's "than" time allows, not "then" time allows. Not meaning to be mean, or hostile, or insulting, just helping out. They're very similar words, nearly homophones, so the mistake is understandable, but fixable.

    I remember Lewis Black's self-sanitized HBO special when he did a stand-up act in LA during the 1990s. The "cantankerous guy" act fit him like a glove, and it only got better as he aged because Lewis Black shouting at the clouds is always funny.

    Roy, I gotta tell you that I really enjoy these longer conversations you've having. You and I are the same age and growing up all the comedians and interesting people were much older and felt far away. Now it's really interesting to get the perspective of established comedians who grew up at the same time as me.
    As a fellow southern boy one of the funniest things you've done was around this time of year when all the white women are going nuts over pumkin pie spice coffee you came up with sweet potato pie spice coffee. To a white boy who thinks soul food is the best that cracked me up!

When he talked about pundits, I immediately thought of his movie with Robin Williams, "Man of the Year" where he explains what's wrong with pundits being on news shows. It was brilliant and I still quote it constantly. 🤗❤
