What's up, fool? Good to see you, too. When was the last time I saw you, brother?
Five years ago? And I did the show here when you were in L.A.? Yeah. At the warehouse? Damn.
Yes. You know? And when I was a young comic, I would see older comics that I would see on television. They were just coming out at that bar or the patio.
Yeah, and you pass by and you see, oh, that's, man.
OG right there. Right, right, right. You're like, what? Right. I used to see her at Dodger Stadium when I was working at Dodger Stadium. And I would ask her for advice. And she was just, you know, like, every comeback back then, just keep writing. She was a funny comic, man.
William Middleford, that lady? Wow.
I can't believe it. There she is.
There she is. Whoa. She looks like Elaine from Seinfeld.
But that's the haircut back then, huh?
Ali Lieberman?
She's going over her set.
It's called a Ford Fiesta. Yeah.
Good shit. None of the stuff you buy like in Grand Rapids, Iowa.
It scared the shit out of me. I was afraid of cocaine, man. Because when I started stand-up, I started stand-up in 94, 93, at an open mic. And I was clean. I was sober. I was in rehab. and I wanted to be a comedian. So I went to a library to learn about writing, Jean Perrette, comedy writing, step-by-step. Another book called How to Write Funny, Be Funny, and Make Money Being Funny.
And that was a real great book, bro. I mean, it had comedy clubs locations in the back, and it had booker numbers to submit your comedy.
I remember, bro, when I was looking for gigs in 2000, right? And I remember this comedian named Shang and Dante. Yeah, I remember those guys. Those guys had a list, like a five-page list of comedy bookers' names, NACA numbers to call. And the back of the page was shitty bookers to avoid. And they had to sign it to the comics for like 75 bucks.
You had that guy on the show here.
It was like a Chinese restaurant.
He's talking about nuggets. The guys that were up there all coked out. Oh, yeah. Working the crowd.
The other place, you got to be from there to pronounce it right. Which one is that? The one that you did for a steak sauce. Oh, Worcester. Worcester. Yeah.
