Chris Redd is deep into a routine about flying high on Delta while flying way too HIGH on Delta, dealing with all kinds of paranoia and trying not to totally lose it, when someone in the far reaches of the audience yells out, “Try United!”

Redd faces the friendly heckler and says, “You said ‘Try United’? Do you think THAT was my problem?” Rolling his eyes, Redd goes into an improvised routine about how it never occurred to him to switch airlines, because he’s in love with Delta.
