Okay, what time did you get up? Okay, 10:00-- take me through all of it.
Woke up, uh, hung out in bed a little bit.
Got the ipad out.
Catch up on a little facebooking, A little twitter, and, uh Boom, time for breakfast.
What's for breakfast? Every day, I go to the diner downstairs from me.
I have toast, well-done bacon, Coffee, juice.
But if this one waitress is working, I also get a free donut.
really? Yeah.
Started a couple years ago when she said Hey, you're in here, like, every day.
Do you want a donut? Boom, free donut every time she's there.
nice.
Okay, what next? Then, I went to the doctor.
Why? What do you got? It was just sniffles, or allergies, or something, But I-- I don't wanna deal with that.
So I go to a clinic.
A clinic? Yeah-- urgent care, baby.
Storefront, open late, Brought my ipad.
Using the wi-fi from the coffee shop next door.
No need to dip into my data plan.
todd barry? Boom, it's my turn.
Todd barry is next.
What happened next? Lunch.
Where? Oh, this was sweet.
I reach into my wallet To get out my setagaya ramen punch card.
I count the punches-- ten.
You know what that means? I qualify for a free bowl of ramen-- Pork or beef.
what'd you do after lunch? I had to work off the pork.
Went to the gym.
You belong to a gym? I belong to gyms.
Gyms.
You mean plural? I have all-access to every synergy gym below 14th street.
Sounds expensive.
Not when you cash in 290,000 American express points, it isn't.
So you went to the gym.
Go to the gym, get on the treadmill for ten minutes.
Then, I get on the bike for ten minutes.
Went home, took a well-deserved nap.
Then, I woke up.
Then, I had to race off to my gig in poughkeepsie.
You had a gig? Yeah, poughkeepsie, booked myself seven months ago.
Did a great deal-- I get 80%, he gets 20%.
So then, I have to get to the gig.
Do you know how much a train to poughkeepsie costs? $40.
Exactly.
Do you know how much a greyhound bus to poughkeepsie costs? $20.
Do you know how much a chinatown bus That goes to croton-harmon, Which is just 20 minutes outside of poughkeepsie, is? I sell one ticket, I cover most of that.
So I took the bus to croton-harmon.
I get there, I call the owner, and I say, "hey, can you come pick me up?" Croton? He says something about, "oh, that's a huge pain in the butt, And also, we never talked about this before.
" I go, "yeah, you're right, we never did talk about it.
"but if you want me to do the show, I need to get to the club.
" Boom, I get the ride.
So I get to the club can I get three miller lites, two long islands I take a peek at the crowd.
I ask the waitress for a coke.
Coke, please? She gives me a coke for free.
Ah, coke.
I walk towards the dressing room And I see a piece of paper on the dressing room door.
And you know what it says? It says "todd berry" With an "e", Not todd barry with an "a", Which is how I spell my name.
They spelled it wrong.
Now, I could've let that go.
I mean, it's just a dressing room sign, right? Everyone makes mistakes, right? I go to the owner.
I say, "hey, I don't mean to be a dick, But my name is todd barry with an "a".
My dressing room sign says "todd berry" with an "e".
And he gives me a look, like, "so?" And I go, "I know it's kind of a pain in the ass, "but I don't ask for much.
"and yes, I know it's an easy mistake to make, "but it's also an easy mistake to fix, And it's very important to me.
" So I said, "all you gotta do "is take the sign down, "put it in a responsible place for refuse, "walk over to the computer, "log onto microsoft word, or apple text, "whatever you want, "type in todd barry with an "a", "take one sheet of paper, "run it through the printer, Grab some tape, and I get my identify back.
" What'd he say? Oh, it's not what he said.
It's what he did.
Boom, new sign with my name spelled correctly.
