Thank you, brother. Thank you. And, you know, that was something very early in my beginnings that I was intimidated by. Because, you know, you're basically on a wire with no safety net. Yeah. And not everybody can do that well, you know. But I said to myself, if you're going to be a complete comedian, you need to have all the facets of your game on point.
You know, it's like, again, the Jordan reference. You know, there was no weaknesses in Mike. Mike can do it all. So I was like, you know, I know I can do the impressions. I'm pretty quick. I'm pretty savvy. I know... You know, I could talk about relationships and pop culture and whatever. Even get a little political, even though I don't think that's my thing.

But I wanted to be able to go, yo, I just don't understand how you can be a comedian and not implement that into your skill set. Because it's just such a strong tool to have. to showcase, to show people how quick you are. Um, so I, I, I, I, I take pride in that.

And then I studied, you know, DL, Julian, Joe Torrey, who were too vicious, vicious when it, when it came time to, you know, chew somebody's ass up. So, you know, I, I just kind of always wanted that in my repertoire, you know, and, uh, I like it a lot of what we do to sports, you know, because I think there are certain similarities. And I always say, I look at it like football.

Listen, I just... When you say, you know, one person... I'm retired from performing in the city of Cleveland. Because that whole city does that.

There's something so miserable about that city.
