And I'd seen the ones, you know, everybody, the Jeff Fox, or these Seinfelds in the clubs, Rich Jenny, all those guys. And then Lou comes, I'm like, oh, he doesn't understand this format at all, but I love it. Like, it was crazy. It was a crazy person. Yeah. But I liked it. I know.

I had to teach him, though, like in the Midwest. I remember we did Omaha one time and I guess we were co-headlining maybe. I said, I'll go first, you go second. I'm always, I'll go first, first one to the bar. As soon as I'm done, I'm first one to the bar. That's true. I don't have an ego thing about being the headliner or going last, but he was going on stage and

He's always very political and we're in Omaha, Nebraska. And he's like, I don't think it's going as well here. I said, here's the thing, Lou. It's the Midwest. We're a little polite and we'd like to... Maybe you could open your act with something about the weather. Just a little tiny thing that's not hard. You don't need to come out screaming that George W. Bush is an asshole. Let's just...

Maybe start with your impression of Nebraska. And he was like, yeah, you're right. I go, you're a lot for the Midwest. You're a lot. You're a big barking dog. And they don't know if you're friendly or not friendly. So come out a little friendly.

Philly to this day is a... Scary place. It's a hard city. They are hardcore. I mean, I got it now. But initially I was like, are they gonna laugh at the same stuff? And they did. I mean, I think always my act will be more... It will resonate more with the Midwest or South than... Like, I'm not very woke.
