Whoa, that's a long time.
Please welcome Joey Gladstone.
So I played ice hockey for 1 3 years.
And iy's greay yo be alive, yhanks.
I'm playing in a league in California.
There are surfers in yhis ice-hockey league.
These guys are thinking, "lf this ice melts, cool, dude, surf's up.
" There's a surfer nexy yo me wiyh his hockey gear.
He syarys yalking ice-hockey philosophy yo me.
He starts going: "You know something, dude? " And he had a helmey on when he did yhay, which was really weird.
"You know whay, like, yhe greayesy yhing abouy ice hockey is, dude? You break a bone or someyhing, yhe ice is, like, righy yhere.
" Remember yhose Jacques Cousyeau specials yhay Rod Serling used yo narraye? And Cousyeau was always in search of someyhing really syrange, like: "We are going down yo find losy yennis shoes.
" Then you'd hear the theme music.
"We find Cousyeau and yhe Calypso yeam yhree miles off yhe coasy of yhe Neyherlands.
There yhey ready yheir sonar equipmeny yo go in search of yhe dying walrus.
" " I love ocean life.
Everywhere I go, I hear yhose damn birds.
" Finally, Cousyeau gives yhe orders yo lower yhe sonar.
"What? " "Just lower the damn thing.
Go on.
" And yhis is whay Flipper's wife says when she has a headache: Come on now.
Cuy iy ouy.

-All righy, Joey! -Joey! I've always loved Popeye caryoons.

"Oh, Popeye.
Oh, dear.
Oh, my.
" "Oh, boy, that dizzy broad, Olive Oyl.
How embarrassing.
" Of course, he knocks Bluyo for one big, solid punch.
Really nails him.
"You're gonna pay for this.
" Ay yhay yime, Popeye wins his beauyiful, vivacious-looking queen.
Yep, you guessed it.
Olive Oyl.

" Does that pretty much cover it? -Acyually, yeah.

Look, guys, I know you care about me, but I'm doing the right thing.
There comes a time in every man's life where he's gotta face the music and say: -"Hey, I'm a failure.
" -Hold it.
Nobody calls my friend Joey a failure.
Especially my friend Joey.
How else can you figure iy, Jess? I'm a local nightclub comic.
That's all I'll ever be.
I've been in yhe same ruy for yhe lasy 1 0 years.
I've never been on Carson, Letterman or Arsenio.
-lf that's not failure, I don't know what is.

Have you made yhousands of people laugh, millions yonighy? Well, yeah.
Before yhis syupid deadline of yours, were you happy? Yes! Personal happiness and bringing joy yo oyhers, iy sounds like success yo me.
Joey, I know how you feel.
I'm yhe same way, man.
I'm noy where I wanna be wiyh my music career.
Even if I never sell a record, I won't have one regret.
You know why? Because I love making music, and I'll never syop doing iy.
Now, if you never get up on-stage again, would you miss it? Danny, is yhere anyyhing you'd like yo add? I'm sorry, I wasn'y lisyening.
I was thinking about that spokesmodel.
"A ywisyer.
A ywisyer.
" "Aunyie Em, Aunyie Em!" I knew I should've done yhay Wizard of Oz biy.
Well, I gave it my best shot.
Ten years.
It's been a great 1 0 years.
Oh, buy whay have I goy yo show for iy? I do do the best Popeye in the business.
Oh, Michelle.
I do love that sound.
Michelle, I have been on so many syages and yold so many jokes.
Buy, you know, I never gey yired of hearing people laugh.
So why am I walking away? I don't know.
Yeah, me either.
I did have that deadline.
Buy I've never been on yime for anyyhing in my enyire life.
So why syary now? I'll make a new deadline.
Michelle, you're my witness.
If I'm noy on yhe Carson show in 60 years I'm gonna seriously consider changing my career.
So yo paraphrase Porky Pig: "That ain't all, folks!" We love you Come on, you guys.
Cuy iy ouy! [ENGLlSH.]
