It was a while ago, yeah. And I told this story. I'd never really told a proper, like, beginning Madeline story before on stage. And I told this story about how when I was in high school, I had my first girlfriend, and she told me not to tell anyone that she was my girlfriend. Because she... Because she had another boyfriend in another town or whatever. And so I'm like, okay.

Because it's your first girlfriend. You're like, okay, whatever it takes. You know what I mean? And then she invites me to meet her parents for the first time. And I go over to her house and we're hanging out. And then there's this other guy there. And I'm like slowly realizing, oh, that's the other guy. Stop. This chick's wild. It was wild. And I think she is, yeah.

But, so, and then at one point, so he, the guy, invites us to go to his house to hang out. And we, I go and I meet his parents and the punchline of it is like, it's very nerve wracking meeting your girlfriend's boyfriend's parents. It's like, you're angry, you're upset, but you also want to make a good impression. And so I told that on stage and like, at the Moth,

And then I had this thing where I was like, kind of similar to when I started doing stand-up in the late 90s after I saw Stephen Wright. I was like, oh, I should write jokes. You know what I mean? That's how I started doing stand-up. But that was the first time, 2003, where I was like, oh, I should tell stories. This is crazy.

The feeling in the room when you tell a story that the audience doesn't know which way to go. Yeah. It was such a rush. Yeah. I know. I started like writing a lot of stories. And then when I sleepwalked through a second story window, I was like, then it was like, oh, this is a show. And I started working with a director. This guy, Seth Barrett.
