Love him. And it's at a comedy club. After the show, the owner, Richard Jenny and I are standing next to each other. The owner points to Richard Jenny and goes- Great set. And then he points to me and goes, and you had a journeyman set. And I said, thank you. And I didn't know what that meant. And I never knew what that meant.

And then about 10 years after that, I was like, I'm going to look up what that meant. Wow. And it meant adequate, but not really more than that. That sucks. But I'm glad I waited 10 years because I took it as a compliment for 10 years. I'm like, hey, if you're looking for somebody to do journeyman sets, I'm your guy. What a weird thing to say to somebody.

Unbelievable performer. He's fantastic. I actually have an album of his that was made after he passed away. I guess it was stuff that he had recorded and some people put it together. It's not produced great because you could hear that it was cobbled together from different shows, but a lot of funny stuff in there. Yeah. You got him right there. There he is. He was the man.

He had a whole bit about when NFL referees first started using microphones. Because prior to that, they would have just to make the signals.

And he had this great routine about an NFL ref about to give a penalty and then starting to feel bad that he's judging these guys. And he's like, you know, who am I to judge these guys? Is my life perfect? No. And then he got like this self-introspection thing. Right. It is like three minutes of him even lying on the ground at the football going, you know, I made a lot of bad decisions in my life.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Gosh, now I'm going to blank. But there's a lot of comics out there who became like road comics in the sense that they weren't really – pushing necessarily to do anything interesting or creative, the kind of stuff that audiences would laugh at that didn't necessarily come off as unique to the comedy world.

Dennis, my brother Dennis. When I first started, I thought the philosophy was you should learn to follow anything. So I never requested to work with clean comedians. It's like whatever I followed, I followed and I would just do my best. But then it got to the point where Sometimes people were coming out specifically to see me. Yeah. And they liked the fact that it was clean.
