Like they're on your side.

So I, how I do, man, what a big trick I learned.

I greet the audience the same way that I would greet my dog, Finley.

So when, you know, when you like get home and you're like, oh my God, there you are.

What are you doing, buddy?

Like, that's how I greet the audience.

I come out and I'm like, man, I am so excited to be here.

I'm so excited to see you.

How's it going?

Yeah.

Well, you know what it was?

It was a lot was depression.

Like I was so sad at my old job that when I was turning 30, I was like, I'm not going to make it to 40.

Like if this is it and like,

the beginning it's kind of fun like you're learning a new job you're getting in there and it's exciting you went to school and going to school is always fun because you're like learning then when you get to work you start putting some of that into practice but once you've kind of got it locked in you're like well this is it like now if i don't change something i'm going to be doing this every day for the next 30 years and i felt like i could see every day of my life for the rest of my life and i was like would you be happy if you kept doing this i was like well no

So then it became pretty easy to change path and be like, well, go and do something that you actually want to do and try that out.

And yeah.

It's still a grind, dude.

Like every time I put a show on sale, like I've got a tour on sale right now.

It's like 40 shows all across Canada.
