And maybe if I had more stories, I could get away with it. But once you hear the joke, you know, it's over. Like, it doesn't work again. Yeah, Seinfeld still does old, old stuff. He does really old stuff. And he's done two specials of old stuff that he's already put on specials. I went and saw him at the Palladium about a year or two ago, and it was one of the worst shows I've ever seen. I had a splitting headache, and I was furious. Really? And one of my friends, another comic that I respect a lot, gave him a standing ovation. And I was like, are you fucking kidding me? And he was like, I understand why you feel the way you do, but I just love seeing the act. And I couldn't believe it. And then I saw Seinfeld again at Cluster Fest. He was on the big outdoor stage for kids, completely different hour, and murdered, destroyed. It was like he has corny stuff, depending on what the audience is. If everyone's sitting there wearing a yarmulke, he's got one act. And if it's a bunch of kids, he's got a cool hip act. Really? Yeah. So you went to the yarmulke crowd? Yeah. Interesting.

Because you see Seinfeld on a talk show, and he's mean, kind of biting. And you're like, oh, this is great. He's hilarious. And I expected more of that. But when I saw him at Cluster Fest, I got that. What is Cluster Fest? It's that it's the third year this year at the festival in San Francisco. It's a Comedy Central in Coachella. Put together a thing.
