Two Guys on Block Island

Episode • Apr 27, 2022 • 1h 6m

In their first conversation of Season Three- Rich and Marc sit down with groundbreaking comedian, actor and island local Steven Wright to find out exactly what drew him to Block Island and why he comes back year after year. 

If you're a fan of Steven's work and are expecting a behind the scenes look at his career in show business you may be disappointed. With so much of Steven's history having already been discussed elsewhere (including a star-making first appearance on the Tonight Show where Steven was summoned to the couch by none other than Johnny himself) the Two Guys focus almost entirely on Steven's Block Island experience.

As you might guess- Steven's insights into what make Block Island such a special place is very...Steven.  The journey begins on an Amtrak train between New York City and Boston and involves a premature departure from said mode of transportation. In the years that followed the island took ahold of Steven and offered him a second version of what many would consider an already amazing life.

And while the conversation is at times cerebral and a touch surreal- it's also REALLY REALLY funny. But that's probably not a shocker. So stop applying spot remover to your dog and press play on what is sure to become one of Rich and Marc's most incredible episodes ever!
