15 years? 67 00:02:53,172 --> 00:02:56,689 Fifteen years ago, his married life kind of went sideways. 68 00:02:56,689 --> 00:03:00,758 She just... left and it was really hard for him because 69 00:03:00,758 --> 00:03:03,379 he lost everything, you know, he lost the house and 70 00:03:03,379 --> 00:03:07,517 everything and then quickly because we only had two or three days that we were in LA, 71 00:03:07,517 --> 00:03:09,551 he moved into this bachelor pad 72 00:03:09,551 --> 00:03:11,379 and all he could take with him like that 73 00:03:11,379 --> 00:03:14,413 - the house and everything-- - Oh, my gosh! 74 00:03:14,413 --> 00:03:17,689 I thought that bottle caps was like a college statement. 75 00:03:17,689 --> 00:03:20,827 I think these are things that he collected when he was in 76 00:03:20,827 --> 00:03:24,586 college and those were the only things that his wife didn't take. 77 00:03:24,586 --> 00:03:26,344 - Oh wow. - You know, he had really, 78 00:03:26,344 --> 00:03:31,103 nothing, he bought a couch, he had, um, the pennies in his pocket. 79 00:03:31,103 --> 00:03:34,931 This is where he lives now but he is so much more than this. 80 00:03:34,931 --> 00:03:39,068 And he's had just the most horrific year, last year, 81 00:03:39,068 --> 00:03:41,000 - his father passed away. - Oh no. 82 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,206 And he had to travel alone and take care of it himself. 83 00:03:43,206 --> 00:03:46,344 He takes care of his family, he takes care of his mother, 84 00:03:46,344 --> 00:03:48,344 he takes care of his daughter, he takes care of me, 85 00:03:48,344 --> 00:03:51,241 he takes care of my fam... he takes care of everybody but himself. 86 00:03:51,241 --> 00:03:53,068 - Mm-hm. - I don't know anybody that, 87 00:03:53,068 --> 00:03:56,827 equals the goodness that comes with Rich Thurber. 88 00:03:56,827 --> 00:03:59,310 <i>Everything I do is informed by comedy, I've been on the</i> 89 00:03:59,310 --> 00:04:01,241 road for 45 years. 90 00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:07,413 And about 30 years ago, I needed more help on the road 91 00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:12,000 <i>so I talked to a couple of my friends and they recommended this guy</i> 92 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,758 who was coming off the road and, uh, he joined me. 93 00:04:15,758 --> 00:04:19,000 <i>It was just an instant click, we became best of friends</i> 94 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,482 and then the work environment, it's not like, 9 o'clock, 6 o'clock see you later 95 00:04:22,482 --> 00:04:25,482 Work till 6 o'clock and then we get in the plane and we fly 96 00:04:25,482 --> 00:04:27,275 and we'd do a concert that night. 97 00:04:27,275 --> 00:04:32,103 <i>Probably spent more days with him in the past 27 years</i> 98 00:04:32,103 --> 00:04:34,413 than I have spent with my own wife and children. 99 00:04:34,413 --> 00:04:37,758 <i>And then as we got to know each other, I just, this guy is a good guy.</i> 100 00:04:37,758 --> 00:04:40,103 So when we started having like birthday parties for my kids 101 00:04:40,103 --> 00:04:42,103 he wasn't only on the road, he came to the birthday parties. 102 00:04:42,103 --> 00:04:45,413 <i>And then the kids had a relationship with him and then he has his kid.</i> 103 00:04:45,413 --> 00:04:49,413 <i>So McKenna, I feel his daughter is like my daughter.</i> 104 00:04:49,413 --> 00:04:52,931 What began as a working professional relationship 105 00:04:52,931 --> 00:04:55,413 became a personal relationship, we're like brothers. 106 00:04:55,413 --> 00:04:57,344 <i>He's the first person I call,</i> 107 00:04:57,344 --> 00:05:00,724 if something happens or I need some advice at any time day or night. 108 00:05:00,724 --> 00:05:03,482 <i>He'll stop everything he's doing and he'll help you.</i> 109 00:05:03,482 --> 00:05:05,482 You know, Howie and I have been through thick and thin, 110 00:05:05,482 --> 00:05:07,896 so many amazing things we've done together. 111 00:05:07,896 --> 00:05:11,172 Couple things that were very like, hard in our lives. 112 00:05:11,172 --> 00:05:13,000 <i>When he went through a horrible divorce,</i> 113 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,620 he lost his center, you know, he lost his home, 114 00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:19,310 he lost the... a family life. 115 00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:24,172 This is a man, that... his whole life is in service to others. 116 00:05:24,172 --> 00:05:27,000 <i>And whether it be his daughter, whether it be his friends</i> 117 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,689 or... or somebody he works with, or even a stranger 118 00:05:30,689 --> 00:05:34,862 <i>there is nobody that I know that will always, always</i> 119 00:05:34,862 --> 00:05:38,448 put everybody ahead of himself. 120 00:05:38,448 --> 00:05:41,206 <i>He really cares about people</i> 121 00:05:41,206 --> 00:05:44,275 and he shares that experience with me and he shares it with my family 122 00:05:44,275 --> 00:05:48,137 I've got some amazing stories where, um, 123 00:05:48,137 --> 00:05:50,137 well, my dad... sorry. 124 00:05:52,965 --> 00:05:54,620 <i>My dad would come to the show</i> 125 00:05:56,068 --> 00:06:00,344 uh, and he loved seeing Howie, sorry, guys. 126 00:06:01,655 --> 00:06:04,413 And he would always like, get him a room at the casino, 127 00:06:04,965 --> 00:06:05,793 take care of him. 128 00:06:07,758 --> 00:06:10,310 And I really appreciate that. 129 00:06:10,310 --> 00:06:15,517 So, when my dad passed, he was, he was really there for me, you know. 130 00:06:15,517 --> 00:06:18,448 Life isn't always easy, this has been a hard time 131 00:06:18,448 --> 00:06:21,689 and nothing makes you feel better than to be a small part 132 00:06:21,689 --> 00:06:23,862 of doing something for somebody else. 133 00:06:23,862 --> 00:06:27,551 Even though he gets a paycheck, he is my family. 134 00:06:27,551 --> 00:06:31,275 If you collectively put together all the days he's actually slept 135 00:06:31,275 --> 00:06:34,206 in this condo versus being on the road with you working. 136 00:06:34,206 --> 00:06:35,551 More with me. 137 00:06:35,551 --> 00:06:37,931 He's probably in 15 years only stayed here for a month. 138 00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:39,965 Right, but he, but when he stays here, you know, even 139 00:06:39,965 --> 00:06:42,137 when we're on the road, we always go, uh, I just wanna get home. 140 00:06:42,137 --> 00:06:44,413 And it's bit of like a musty kind of a smell when you come in here. 141 00:06:44,413 --> 00:06:47,862 Well, this is the exact carpet that he had like, 15 years ago 142 00:06:47,862 --> 00:06:50,793 so carpet holds, you know, you know just like you walk in 143 00:06:50,793 --> 00:06:54,275 if there's fresh hardwood, if there's fresh carpet you get that smell, 144 00:06:54,275 --> 00:06:57,379 this is the carpet that was brought in 15 years ago. 145 00:06:57,379 --> 00:06:58,896 You know I was in the carpet business. 146 00:06:58,896 --> 00:07:01,482 - Oh, I forgot that, yes. - In Canada. 147 00:07:01,482 --> 00:07:03,655 Now, does Rich know, we're here doing anything? 148 00:07:03,655 --> 00:07:06,758 So, this is what I did, so, we're doing some productions 149 00:07:06,758 --> 00:07:10,137 and I said he needs to be where we're doing the production 150 00:07:10,137 --> 00:07:12,758 so, he's used to this, I got him a hotel room. 151 00:07:12,758 --> 00:07:16,137 I can keep him there for about, three or four weeks. 152 00:07:16,137 --> 00:07:18,448 I don't even know what you're gonna do but I was thinking 153 00:07:18,448 --> 00:07:22,000 like, this is the main focal point, like, this area needs 154 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,931 something, this area needs anything. 155 00:07:23,931 --> 00:07:27,379 I would imagine everything happens here. 156 00:07:27,379 --> 00:07:30,862 Rich, he's a fan of rock and roll, so there's guitars everywhere. 157 00:07:30,862 --> 00:07:33,517 He's a fan of collecting things whether it's 158 00:07:33,517 --> 00:07:36,620 bottle openers or cans, wherever, I'm wondering 159 00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:39,275 <i>where does all this crap go that he collects?</i> 160 00:07:39,275 --> 00:07:43,793 Well, he recycled it, himself and turned it into his wall art and furniture. 161 00:07:43,793 --> 00:07:45,689 There's no appeal over here. 162 00:07:45,689 --> 00:07:48,620 So I think we can add a bit more wow factor to the feature wall. 163 00:07:48,620 --> 00:07:51,793 I know that he loves the fire, he loves candles. 164 00:07:51,793 --> 00:07:55,000 This is the centerpiece, he, I'm...
