But I would sit outside a staff and senator door entrance to the Russell Building, where my office was, where I'd come out of the gym, and I looked like a dude who just either woke up hungover or just worked out.
That's right.
And I was wearing Umbro shorts 30 years out of date, you know?
But I was sitting there, and a lot of my colleagues are coming in, and we end up in a series of conversations where Schumer is standing there perennially.

In his full, you know, majority, minority leader suit.
Right.
So a lot of times he'd come in not having yet showered, but wearing the suit that he was going to wear for the day.
But he's got full on, you know, bedhead.
Chuck's standing there and I'm sitting on this marble rail and a series of people.
Tom Cotton, John McCain.
But Chuck and I are standing there, but Schumer talks with his hands, like, you know, very Brooklyn, and his hands are waving around, and there's this piece of, you know, metal that's off the Russell Building that looks like a giant joint.
And because he keeps talking with his hands at different points, it looks like he's got, you know, a 13 inch reefer hanging out of his hand.
And I'm talking there clearly just, you know, high outside of a wedding.

Tom Cotton is buttoned up.
