It takes a lot longer than people realize, you know?

That's why the people who come up and do Kill Tony the first time...

It's like, that's so insane to me.

No, to me, the person doing Kill Tony for their first set, I don't know if they want to be a comic more than they want to be famous.

I think fame is the driving thing for that.

Because the reality is, let's say someone hits, you hit on Kill Tony, right, like real big.

A, can you do it every week if you become a regular?

Or, if you don't become a regular but you start selling tickets,

Because people I think people think like once you become famous, it's all like your worries are over.

But the reality is, is once you become famous, then you have to work extra hard to keep that level of fame.

Right.

It's like the every level up is more work.

Yes.

So to jump from I don't do any stand up to famous is that that's what you're thinking.

That's an insurmountable, you don't even know how hard you have to work to maintain that.

And as someone who's now done three minutes on Kill Tony, and as someone who's been paneled on Kill Tony, I've been on Rogan.

Yeah, I know.

The Kill Tony stage, when you're doing the minute, is the most pressure I've ever felt.

Yeah, especially now.

Especially now that it's the show.
