04/19/06 • -1 min

Going Back to Indiana follows Rob to southern Indiana where he performs at Vincennes University hosting their student variety show. See what it's like to do a show at 6:30 in the evening for the local senior citizens, to sample the local cuisine, and to live, laugh, and love in the heartland.

Many thanks to the students and faculty at Vincennes University, as well as the good people of Vincennes who came out to the shows. And to John Cougar Mellancamp, who attended Vincennes University back in the day and went on to idealize the Hoosier State in song.

"It's Not Just Me" takes you to Hoboken, NJ (sorry) for a show Rob does with fellow comedian and big man on the college market Eric O'Shea. Rob and Eric have worked together before so they meet up early to ride the PATH train under the Hudson to the Stevens Institute of Technology in the downtown 'Boke.

This episode also explores the ins and outs of what it's like to perform opposite free cookies and a snack bar. Between the sugar rushes, cafeteria-style seating and the full moon, Rob and Eric joke their way through two states, green rooms, and drunks on the subway.
