When I saw him in Ft. Lauderdale, there was a bar in the lobby that people kept leaving to go to. At one point, a guy in the front row just got up and BOOKED IT to get drinks. John Mulaney looked over at a woman who was next to the empty seat and asked,Ā āAre you with him? Whatās his name?ā
She was, in fact, with him, and she did tell him her dateās name. John Mulaney considered this, looked around, and unplugged his microphone. Leaning in to us, he told us that we were going to trick this guy so fuckin hard. He said,Ā āAt some point during the show, I am going to stop and say,Ā āWell, you guys know what they say here in Ft. Lauderdale,ā and then you guys are all going to scream backĀ āWE LOVE MILKSHAKES!ā Heāll be so confused.ā
He then continued on with the show as normal, the drinks guy returned to his seat, and that was that for quite a long time. We thought he had forgotten about it until, at some point during what I believe was his McDonaldās drive-thru bit, he shrugged his shoulders and said,Ā āYou guys know what they say here in Ft. Lauderdaleā¦ā
Naturally, we erupted withĀ āWE LOVE MILKSHAKESā and John Mulaney SWUNG around to face the drinks guy and said,Ā āI bet youāre real confused now, huh, JASON?!ā
