the jurogan experience with the exception of carlin no one was doing the hourly thing he was the unusual exception he was so unusual because he was doing a new one every year i always think it's so funny how carlin is so revered but uh obviously all comedians uh respect him but like during when he was around i don't think he got enough respect you know i mean he he was probably appreciated for the you know words you can't say on television but like he was pumping out some really serious stuff yeah and i think the audience didn't really like some of the [ __ ] he was saying i mean like yeah all these rich people in the audience he's like we should turn all the golf courses and give them to homeless people people were like wait a minute we paid to get in here i mean yeah well he definitely had a lot of counter culture in him you know a lot of rabble rouser and you know like he has some great bits to this day that about diseases that people keep reposting you know yeah oh it's just it's there's not a week on twitter where he doesn't have some uh you know clip that really kind of captures the moment how many specials did he have let's just guess 15 i think he had 20. 20. i think he did one for every year at the peak of hbo when hbo to get a special on hbo he was uh it was a standard because and i remember i saw in an interview maybe this is uh that you know he tried the sitcom thing and they it didn't work so he stuck with stan i don't know what the there's there's carlin experts that were probably uh could explain a lot well he he had some really good interviews and god i wish he was alive while i was doing the podcast where i could have interviewed him and talked to him maybe he was in the beginning what year did he die
um everything's a blur now everything was six years ago or four years ago he died like 11 2011 2008 2008 wow so it was actually before the podcast so but if i had the opportunity to talk to him i would definitely talk to him about his creative process but there's some pretty good interviews where he talked about that oh yeah no i remember i'm trying to just turn off my phone because i'm an idiot and i didn't turn it off before look at all these specials yeah that's unbelievable so he went he had some gaps right like look at that 63 and then 67 and then 72 and then another one at 72. god he had 2 and 72 and they won in 73 174 75 77 81 84. so what is the total number this so for this uh discography from maine i guess whatever main means is uh 20 including that 2016 one so the 2016 one i kind of like it when a lot of people die was supposed to be out on 2001 around september 11th but it was literally scheduled to come out right after september 11th and the name of it i kind of like it when a lot of people that's [ __ ] obviously a bit of an issue yeah but so many uh hbs specialists i don't know separate from that oh i always thought it was every year that's so interesting i thought it was every year i felt like it was too first 12 specials huh so those are hbo specials and what are the other ones are those albums that city i guess would be audio albums maybe because there's also television and film appearances in there scroll down scroll down where you just had up tell where it said tell scroll down so like what is that television oh okay though so these are different okay and scroll down a little further so these are all spots on television shows and then scroll down a little further and these are the hbo specials and then written works and audio books wow a lot a lot yeah i know that he went through a period he dealt with um i mean you probably have interviewed kelly carlin probably i haven't i've spoken there on twitter i i don't i don't know her at all but like i know that he struggled
with some addiction yeah and stuff like that but he had a pill issue for a while really yeah i remember i was i was probably 93 i just started stand up and he went on at the original improv on 44th street and i remember he had a tape player and he had a piece of paper where he you know like a cassette recorder and he had these notes and he had punch lines underlined i mean granted this is 30 years ago so maybe i'm remembering some of it wrong but i remember thinking god that is just the detailing was so impressive that and you can see it in his writing yeah i mean the the the word smith uh is just so extensive yeah he would write out his entire special word for word yeah and then he would just kind of tighten it up yeah that's how he did it and he would write sober and then he would punch up on marijuana it would smoke pot and punch it up wow yeah that was his move brilliant i saw him bomb in front of my roommates in new hampshire in 1988 1989 yeah i think he went through uh rough patch a couple of times in his career i think with new material you know it's like american stand-ups versus like british stand-ups there is you know there's such a necessity to kill in america right like you can't be bad for a moment that's why i was so impressed when i saw chris rock once at the comedy store just fearlessly like what else what else and he didn't get laughs for like 10 minutes and he's like okay then he got off stage completely unfazed like i would be like [Laughter] get me heroin something and uh but the whole thing of uh carlin uh just the volume was insane and also you have to you have to you have to risk bombing yeah he didn't work out either like he didn't go to comedy clubs and practice that was actually part of one of his routine he had this routine called uh and [ __ ] this and it was like everything was [ __ ] this and [ __ ] that and [ __ ]
comedy clubs he like he literally said [ __ ] comedy clubs like i'm i don't have to work out in comedy clubs and he would just go and when i saw him in new hampshire he went on stage with a legal pad a yellow legal pad and he had all his stuff written out and he put it down and my roommate was like why is he reading his jokes i was like because they're new jokes yeah [ __ ]
