So yeah, and I was saying this to sort of be like, that's when the digging deeper, it was for the sake of myself, but it coincided with doing the show.

And that's when like the digging deeper came.

Mark's, I don't know, a couple of years ago.

Did the show.

It was fine.

I think it was a New York Comedy Festival show.

A couple weeks later, I'm driving with my mom, and she was like, oh, they sent a guy to check out the show.

And that was terrifying.

I mean, I was freaked, man.

And she always, and it was like a sentence, a phrase, and then it was kind of stuck with me where she was like, you know, it's this life of glamour.
