I’ve watched Brian for 3 decades from stand-up, sitcoms and movies and this is the first time I’ve really found him engaging. I don’t know if it was cause he’s comfortable around Maron or cause he was weed sober, but that was a great conversation.
Cool!.......I knew pretty much nothing about him. I'd seen him "pop-in", on TV shows. I now recall his stint in "Just shoot me!"...he was hilarious,...(the perfect oddball)....It had more of an impact on me, because I had a job in college in an office, and I WAS THE GUY WHO PUSHED A CART FULL OF MAIL, into a room full of busy people. Nobody told me what the protocol was, so I talked and joked around with the work staff. I think the people who held the job before me never expressed their personality. So everyone was so excited to see the "new" guy, and they talked to me, and were surprised by my quick wit, and that I could hold my own speaking & interacting. I'm sure I was their first long-haired, (hippie) employee. This was in 1972. Eventually someone pointed out I was becoming a distraction, because the workers would intentionally waste company time, because they looked forward to my daily delivery visits, so we could engage in clever banter. I wasn't just "the cart guy", I was their print shop operator, so I ran copies, reproduced blue prints, and collated paper, which was a big deal in the 70s. XEROX MACHINES WERE STILL "MAGIC", BACK THEN, LIKE TODAY'S COMPUTERS. I also made "mail runs" to the post office. I had to physically drive my (beater car), to pickup thousands, of letters, blue prints, folios, etc. It was several canvas bags worth and they were heavy, and cumbersome to lug around. It filled up my entire back seat and trunk.
