That's an A room. Some rooms are tightly controlled environments. But starting, we didn't always perform in tightly controlled environments. Bowling alleys, fucking backyards. Bars. Yeah, there's so many other spots where you also have to make comedy happen. Yeah, and those spaces where there's a big moat between you and the audience. I did a Jack and Jill strip club. There you go. Jack and Jill strip club in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. The last thing I want to see is you. There was a guy named Brian Deery. He used to book these gigs. I think he's still around. He used to book these gigs in Rhode Island. And some of them were great, but occasionally they were terrible. And this one, as far as I know, I think I was a one and done. I think they killed it after either, because there was only like four people in the crowd. And I went up, and there was a guy and a girl. Jack and Jill strip club was a, there was an old concept that didn't really take off, where couples would go. And a guy would go in strip, and a girl would go in strip. And they both looked like their parents drank while they were in the womb. They both had terrible tattoos. This guy had terrible tattoos, and he had them covered with bandanas. So like bandanas were on his arm, and you could see the shitty tattoo poking out of the bottom. And he was built goofy. He was built like a guy who lifts weights, but he drinks every night. You know what I mean? Like he wasn't- Strong pot belly dude. He wasn't like, if you go to Vegas and you see those men from down under, they're all like, look at them. There was nothing like that with him or her. They were both disgusting. They were both disgusting. And I'd like to say I bombed, but bombing usually you hear some noise. Like people are mad at you. You suck. You poo. There were not even recognizing that I was talking. So I got off stage, and there was like a little pool table in the back. And there was a dude who just happened to be in town because his family lived there, because it was around the holidays. And his family lived in Rhode Island and he just wanted to get out of the house. So he came to this local bar and he goes, hey, what the fuck is this place? And I go, what are you doing here? And he goes, I'm just here. My fucking family lives around here. And I just came here because there's nowhere else to go. What the fuck is this place? This is so strange. And he and I had a game of pool and we were laughing. That's hilarious. Yeah. I'll never forget it. It was so strange. It was so strange. That's not a controlled environment. Those gigs, those gigs season you though. You get, you develop the lacrosse, a layer of protection where you could go up in front of those people. Yes. And you also know when you get offered those gigs, what it's going to be like. Just by the tone. I mean, it's going to be great. It's always packed. All right. I was okay. All right. Where is it again? Sure. But there was some that were always packed. There were some gigs that I'd get old school shitty bar gigs that were fun, man. Yeah. They were wild. They made me because they fed me. Right. Those gigs fed me when I was poor. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
