Matt says the cactus leaves paid for themselves with the great story Eliot got out of it. 

1h5m – Al and Jimmy talk about the time they met in vegas. Jimmy and Mike insisted on seeing Al’s set. Al wanted them to stay out but Jimmy said he likes to laugh. It put Al in his hand a lot.  

1h10m – Jimmy talks about the time at Joey’s comedy club where there was a table of Hecklers who they refused to get rid of. Jimmy went to the manager and started poking her until she asked him what he was doing. “Im doing what they’re doing to him (comic on stage.)” She finally got it. 

Eliot’s C is George Carlin. 

Talking comics who say “Im just kidding!” after their jokes. 

Jimmy sets Al up for a story. He tells about going drinking with someone until 3 am who then mentioned they have a radio gig at 6am. Al asked if the middle act could come too. It was some 17 year old kid. At the radio, Al just sat back and this kid killed it on the show. He brought people out to see the show thanks to his radio appearance! It was Jimmy Fallon! 

1h15m – Eliot blanked out. Nods in response to Jimmy’s question and admits he has no idea what Jimmy asked him,
