Sad and lonely death, alone in a hotel room.

jinx

From what I know about stand up comics is not much stress but very lonely on the road + horrible lifestyle choices. Unhealthy food usually isn't the biggest problem, it's the drugs. Pete Davidson, Joey Diaz, Ari Shaffir, Joe Rogan, Pauly Shore, Giraldo, Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bobby Lee etc. use(or used) all types of drugs, many have been in rehab or claim to be clean. It really is a very different sub culture. If you're an unknown male standup comic and eat lunch with an female stand-up comic you both talk like guys, sex, drugs, more sex, more drugs, who's hot at the other table, crapping your pants on stage. Nothing is forbidden which is super fun if you want to stay a man/woman child forever.
I knew the guy that ran the comedy club in KC. Kind of like strip clubs these guys are really seedy since a lot of the business is cash based. This guys' name was Craig Glazer, he thought he ran the whole city. Pretty much a lifelong bad guy, went to prison in California for drug running. Had to be the guy in control, tried to be a screenplay writer in Hollywood he didn't realize being an ex-con basically guaranteed he'd have very little success. So, he eventually hightailed it back to KC, but even in KC he was busted for cocaine dealing and told the judge he basically had to as all the standups that come into town expect to have a place to stay + access to coke. The judge let him off easy, saying KC needs more guys like him! Anyway, it's almost ironic Glazer died of leukemia at age 65 and talk about bad lifestyle choices? after he died one guy told me along with coke/drugs Glazer smoked 2 or 3 packs of cigarettes a day.

yep

You people are disgusting. I was no fan, but have a little respect for the dead. Geese!

Don't pay any attention to those expiration dates ... you are not for sale on store shelves most likely.

Diet and exercise. For brain health they recommend specifically vitamin B1, B2, B6, B12, D, and fish oil for omega-3/DHA/EPA, and oddly enough 125 milliliters of alcohol a day. A minimal walk of 30 minutes a 3-4 times a week helps, but more is certainly better.

I think when your genes are that bad... there's only so much modern medicine can do, unfortunately.

I read an article that said he passed away of Covid. Dude died while doing something he loved doing, which was making people laugh, so that's good at least. Still sucks to hear that he passed though---that was really unexpected.

Well we are all kind of waiting to die when you think about it. After work how many of us go home, eat, watch tv and than go to bed?? Sure we might do activities on our days off but i know so many people in their 50's that do not
Life really is not as important/purposeful as so many humans think it is.

It's a little comforting to know if you maintain a healthy lifestyle you don't have to worry too much. I either heard or read that up to age 75 you can be basically fit and healthy. After that it's a steep decline.
What really is sad and pathetic is we're completely surrounded by junk. I lived in Asia for many years and when I came back to the U.S. I can't even go to restaurants anymore..it's such a nightmare.

Oh, I remember coming back to the U.S. in 2013 after being gone for most of 20 years. I went to an Outback restaurant, waiting for my old friend to show up. Sat at the booth for a few minutes and then it hit me like a f'ing Mack truck! I said to myself, "was I just served iced tea by a 250-275lb. waitress? Is that female bartender over there 250-275lbs. as well? are they twin sisters?" I know for a fact this was nearly impossible in 1993.
