It's Tampa. Every fucking town you play, the guy that picks you up at the airport tells you, it's got the most churches and strip clubs per capita. If that tells you anything about Houston, Jacksonville, fucking every town. Portland. They have some. There it is. It's a great club. It's always unverifiable. You're like, Bethlehem?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You couldn't do porn and eggs at a strip club because everyone's going to turn away from the stripper. That's true. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of like you can't do comedy at a strip club.

Yeah, it was a... Teasers was the name of the place. And they have amateur night. It worked out because you just MC for the amateur night. It was just a contest. And it's just professional strippers from other clubs that come try to be ringers and win 50 bucks. But you'd go up in between them. Yeah, fuck with them, but they still didn't even like that 30 seconds of intro.

But they're making ... They did a soprano. Well, at least in my early days, there was camaraderie. You got along. It's us against them.

Early days of comedy. You started ... I started in Vegas, which is the worst place to ever fucking start, but you don't know that. Except for New Orleans. New Orleans is pretty bad. Which has never had a comedy club that was successful. Including Green Bay Appleton, the only city that had a professional sports team that couldn't have a full-time comedy club.

Oh, I played there once. Once? You? I got fucking booed off stage almost every night. What? Like, people throwing things at me, like empty cigarette packs. And I was following Chris Porter. Oh, he's a killer. This was probably 20-some years ago. Wow. So around 2000, because I was dating a comic, which, oh fuck, we'll talk. Judy Gold? No, no one famous, and she quit. Okay, great. Lucky you.
