• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great, man, I am looking for it. You
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: know the last time I was actually at Rodney's club,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: last time was at danger Fields. I was auditioning for
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Bill Bogg's comedy Tonight. Do you remember that, yeah, nineteen
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: eighty five.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Well, I was in Dangerfields all the time, millions of
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: nights at Dangerfields. That was a great comedy club and Sunday.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Everybody in the business would go hang out there. And
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Tony Bovaco was the partner with Rodney. He was the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: real owner. And they don't make clubs like that the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: old Dangerfields at the Maitre d had a tuxedo, they
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: had a trio, they had singers besides the comedians.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: There's nothing like that right then.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: The waiters were like old time New York City waiters
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: with the you know, with the napkin on their arm,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and they were rude and it was just so much fun,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, even back in the good old days,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: like Catcherizing Star. People don't realize they had a piano
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: player and it'd be comedians and singers would perform there.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yea, it was a whole damn show. You know, it
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: was so funny. I want to tell you say, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I've been doing commercials for this pot place out here
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: on Long Island, Long Island Cannabis Club. And when I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: was with Rodney in the nineteen eighty, you know, we
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: did a lot of drugs and a lot of drinking
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: and everything. And one of the funniest things, especially now
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: with pot being so legal, we were at the Baheamar
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: in his penthouse suite in Fort Lauderdale, and we're in
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: his room and we're out on his balcony smoking a joint,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and his sixteen year old daughter came in and she sniffed,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and she went, Daddy, you know, don't bug me, Melody,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: don't bug me. I said, do you realize your sixteen
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: year old daughter just caught you smoking pot? It's supposed
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to be exactly the opposite.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Now, Jackie Marlin, let's talk about the real Rodney,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: because everybody loves him, and we love him too. We're
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: not trying to put him down. But everybody looked at
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: him and he was seemed like a grandfatherly type of
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: wonderful man. But in the real Rodney was a rough
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: sort of a character. Was drugs.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: No, No, he was a very very nice guy. The
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: way he lived to laugh a minute guy, you know
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: he was. He was really that down, down trodden guy
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: that he just didn't laugh a lot. But he's always
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: really nice to everybody and very generous. He was.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, no, but I'm saying he wasn't sitting
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: at home reading the newspaper like wow.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: He is a wild man, a wild wild man.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: There were drugs, that were women were hookers. There was
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: everything going on, tell the truth.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: When I was with him, I would say, we checked
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: every box. Well, I'm gonna be there this Saturday night.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. I also I also just
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: booked a cruise man. Two of the Long Island comedians
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: are going to do Long Island commut Reunion cruise from
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Fort Lauderdale starting on my birthday in February. I never
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: did one of those, like a week of you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: telling jokes and hanging out with the crowd, and it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: already half sold out. I've never pursued it before and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I just kind of stumbled into it. So I'm I'm
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: very psyched, you know.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, it's a good thing. And a lot of
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: comedians now play the big, big cruise ships. It's like
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: the floating Las Vegas showrooms and you play these cruise ships.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: And yeah, they've never hired me because I was too dirty.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Somehow they got me my own boat, so I can
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: say whatever I want.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Hey, are you gonna get he that way? You're gonna
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: be at Rodney's this Saturday night. It's the old Dangerfields.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I haven't been in there. Does it look the same
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: or they redo it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: From what I could tell, it looks exactly the same.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: You know, they were. It's been going for a while.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: The last time I was in there, before the time
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: with Comedy Tonight was I was sitting there in the
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: audience when Rodney recorded No Respect, which was his first
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: LP in nineteen eighty, a long time ago. But I'm
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: sure it looks the same. It was set up perfectly.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: It was a perfect comedy club, you know, really dark,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: good sound system, nice sliding on the stage. You know
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: it'll be great.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: They got to bring back Bob, remember the major D. Bobby,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: the big tough matre d.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I think they're still trying to dig a hole to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: bury him. He was so big.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Number Teddy, the bartender who was there for a million years.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was Asian Asian guy.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they got to bring it. Well.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Tony's still alive. I see if I could rustle him
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: up to come, and he's like ninety three or something.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: He's a great guy who lives in Long Island. Tony
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Bovaca was the guy that ran Dangerfields and it was
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: quite a club. And remember that was the big prom
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: club that prom season to'd be a million white lemons.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the comedians hated that. When the kids came in
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: at four o'clock in the morning, dead drunk and throwing
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: stuff at him. It was a hell gig, you know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: And I think it was like forty bucks, I mean,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you know, And I was lucky enough to sidestep that,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Alrightletta some jokes. So a guy is just waking up
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: from anesthesia and his wife is sitting there looking at him,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and he blinks and he says, is so beautiful. And
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: then he falls back asleep and she stays there and
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a couple of minutes later he opens his eyes again
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and he says, you're cute. She says, what happened to beautiful?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: He says, the anesthesia is wearing off. So why is
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the middle part of a woman called a waste?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I hate to ask why.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Because you can sit another boobs there. So three three
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: criminals are in front of a cross eyed judge. Three
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: criminals are in front of a cross eyed judge. The
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: cross eyed judge says, the first guy, how do you plead?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: The second guy says, not guilty.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: The judge looks at him and says, I wasn't talking
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: to you. The third guy says, I didn't say anything.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: So a guy comes in, Oh, oh, yeah, I was choked.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: A lady comes home and finds her husband in bed
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: with a female dwarf. She says, eh, two weeks ago,
