Keahi, such a nice reply. Im gonna blitz substack with my (more-than-likely) unfounded accusations to generate more responses like yours, Ill let you know how big the flameout is.
Yes, that sounds like Dangerfield, I too would read or hear him say things like this from time to time. Btw, he used to date my roommate way back in the day when answering machines had "playback", like tape recorders. Id get back to LA from some crazy road gig and hit playback, then hear: "V. It's me Rodney, if you're there, pick up, you there? V it's me Rodney, pick up, you there? Hi Fred. Hey V it's me, if you're there pick up..." She'd eventually pick up and the machine'd get the first minute of their convo. That unmistakable voice and cadence alone were funnier than anything I ever did in standup, one of the many reasons I decided to transition more into writing. There were a few notorious joke stealers back then, and RD was ripe for plunder 'cause of the sheer amount of his top grade treasure. Btw, this is my first novel!! Maybe a little long? Wow. Oh, another thing about me... Anyway thx again (Brecht stole that quote from me) (nope)
I've done a few movies, maybe next up I'll brutalize novels. PS, you and Boots and most everybody on this stack are great reads, for reals! (As my young daughters used to say and emphatically say I shouldn't)
