Why is this not funny?

I wanted to write it out so I could figure it out.

Shit.

Did so like, yeah, I could remember trying to record like Dr. Demento on a Sunday night hearing young Weird Al.

That's how nerdy I was.

I took that another step.

Was that?

Wow.

Now, see, I'd hear him out here syndicated in Southern California, so I had no idea where he was.

In my simple mind, he was always just here because that's where my radio was.

But he was back east, Poughkeepsie.

Well, they were touring.

Oh, they were touring, so maybe he wasn't planted back east.

And Al just did a benefit with us the other night at—

at Largo, at the Coronet.
