I don't reckon. 😂 The stretching. The sighing. The sniffing. The hand rubbing. The jaw grinding. The "oh my friend" stories at every turn. Letterman actually handled it better. 😂 He was lit right up. Dave jumped in cos if he just let him run with it, the story would go nowhere. Like every story does when you're under the influence. 😂 He didn't clue on to the jaw joke either. 😂
