It was a, you got it. And, and I got it. So for people listening, Adam Eget was the manager, general manager of the comedy store. And now I think he manages mothership in Austin. And he texted me and he was like, Spade's going to message you. And I, cause I think I may have said something to you. Um, or I didn't.
But the way he said Spade's going to talk to you, the vibe was like, hey, you did something wrong. And now comedy royalty is about to not only blacklist you, but you should never have gotten upset that he mispronounced like it was like Spade's going to. He didn't say reach out. Reach out is a good thing. It's like Spade's going to do better. bring down the hammer. And I was like, okay.
And you reached out and I was never going to say anything ever again because I knew it wasn't personal. And you went out of your way to say that it was a mistake and you were sorry. And I couldn't believe that someone of your stature, that someone that David Spade was reaching down to little old me to be like, hey, sorry about that.
In an industry where people are aggressively awful to each other for fun... And I always remember that about you. And unfortunately for you, I was like, oh, cool. Now we're friends. Now I can always talk to him.
Yeah.
No, but just know that if you're watching a show and comics give each other shit like that, it's because they're friends. I don't think I've ever really seen a comic like fuck up and then the next comic gets mad about it. Like it's never I've brought up comics I don't even like and I've never given them a bad intro.
I've never been like this next guy tried to sexually harass me over the phone and now I'm famous and he's not. Please welcome. Like I would never do that. No.
And because I deigned to softly correct it and then Adam's like, Spade's going to talk to you. I was like, oh my God. Oh my God, he's going to get mad that I knew my own name. And you were so nice. Yeah.
You owe David Spade an apology. Your name is now Elisa.
what Dana just did deliberately or not. I can't tell if it's a bit. No, I was kidding. Okay. Thank God. Uh, uh, it's, oh yeah. Schlesinger, Schlesinger, but I don't even correct people because it ultimately doesn't matter because the more painful part is having to then hear them try to correct it. And then it becomes like a linguistics lesson.
And you're like, I'm just trying to promote this show. Yeah.
Greg Fitzsimmons told me that he one time, and he's in my phone as this, got Grapefruit Simmons. That's funny. I don't mind that. People are just uneducated, not checked in, just out to lunch, just making up words, not reading.
Oh, I mean, the art of standup is 99% making up a bullshit credit for the next comic who you have no real reference for.
It used to just be clubs and colleges. But now that's... I mean, if you're playing colleges as your main thing, like maybe you're not doing great. And so... And used to be Comedy Central, which it really isn't anymore. So now, I mean, I brought up a comic the other night and I was like, you know him from the internet. Please welcome. It was Morgan Jay. And who is known from the internet?
It's not like you met him on Star Search. And so I thought... I just, I just usually like this next comic is hilarious. One of my good friends.
Anyone, anyone is next.
That's right.
I wrote it. It's based on a true story and I starred in it and it's available for streaming 24 hours a day.
Right? Yeah. It's secretly an incredible comedy town.
You wouldn't think that. And they're the best. And I have to be honest with you guys. You are my first podcast I've done to promote it. So you're the first person, I guess it was Dana, that I've heard say the special out loud because the title's been a secret.
