But L.A.

had shut down.

And in 2020, we were all like we were all without a country.

You know, we were living in L.A.

and the comedy store was shut down for a fucking year and a half.

It was so shut down, and I knew, I'm one of those dudes, it's just like, I've never had faith in systems and government, and I'm like, these motherfuckers are gonna keep us shut down.

They're gonna keep, and I came to Texas, and Ron White was already here.

So Ron White, who's a very good friend of mine, and Gary, I knew Gary from LA.

He used to hang out at the Comedy Store too, and that's why I became friends with him, and he moved here.

I think 2017 or 2018, and I talked to him on the phone.

I'm like, why'd you go back to Austin?

He's like, man, I can't fuck with those people in L.A.

It's just like I'm tired of it, man.

He goes, I love Texas.

It's just real, and it's like I need to go back home.

And I was like, wow, that sounds right.

That sounds right.

And then when I talked to Ron, and Ron's the same way.

Ron's a Texas boy too.

And he was like, I just don't want to do this anymore.
