I mean, there was a guy in the audience in blackface, whatever. Really? This was, I don't know, 10, 15 years ago. 10, 15 years ago? 10 years ago. But wait a second. So she... She wasn't even there the week. Okay.

She tells my manager, I did a lot of crowd work, whatever. So anyhow, I'm working at Syracuse Funny Bone. And my middle, very funny guy. I think he passed away. He was an older guy. Really great joke writer. He's from Denver. He goes, oh, I do a podcast with Wendy. And he sees that I'm closing and he goes, I'll talk to her. So I email Wendy. And I go, hey, listen, why don't we start from scratch?
