That's an insane show. We co-headlined when it was really shitty clubs, basically one-nighters, so you wouldn't even... It's hard to call it headlining, but yeah.

No, the first time I saw him was at a club called Knuckleheads in the Mall of America, Minneapolis, and... Lewis Johnson was the headliner. I was the middle act, and Hedberg was opening. And Lewis had seen him, and he goes, man, you got to watch this guy. This guy is fucking. And the first night, he did pretty good. But the rest of the week, he's just fucking. Because he has no MC skills.

He doesn't come out and say, are there any birthdays? Yeah. He's following da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Y'all ready for this? Da, da, da. And there's a laser light show for a club of 350, even though there's 18 people in it. They still have the volume up like it's a sold out Saturday. Come on, you can do better than that. No, they're doing their best. Yeah, right.

No, and he was new, but it was still, as Hedberg, not quite as polished, but still you saw everything that you're fucking going to love in the future. So it was great to watch him morph very quickly into fucking great.

That was right before he fucking died. Wow, you can look at him. Pale. Were you worried? That was two weeks before he died because we did, ended up, I got booked with him to open for him at a college show in Maryland, which I was like, all right, by now people know I'm not college material. This does not happen. So I assumed he asked for me.

Because when you guys both headline, you stop seeing each other. Yes. And it sucks. That's why we do this. So I assumed he had asked me to do it, and then when the kid that booked it, who probably got fired immediately for having me on the stage, we're driving back to the hotel, and I told Mitch, I said, hey, thanks for setting this up, because college gigs pay a ton of money.
