Maron: At this point, it’s lazy and sloppy and hackneyed, you know, to be in a club where, you know, I’m walking down the hall at the comedy club, or, and, you know, in one room, someone’s doing their bit about trans people. And then I get down the hall and there’s someone on stage going, “Well, I guess I got to do my bit about trans people.” Like, no, you don’t. You don’t. (continued)

The one thing that the real Bruce said about Muhammad Ali is that Ali would beat him in a fight. How does the scene open? With “Bruce” bragging about how he would paste Ali.
