because my parents were very loving.

I wanted attention from them.

I wanted to make them laugh.

And that is kind of the chemistry behind everything you do.

And here I am all these years later and they're gone, but I do think there's still part of me that's trying to win them over.

And so there's so many things in your book where I go like, oh my God, I understand.

My dad's a microbiologist.

He's not a preacher, but it's the same thing.

Did he want you in the family business?

I kind of think he wanted all of us to get into, one of us to be a doctor, and then he quickly saw, he's idiots.

I don't want them operating on me.

So he was happy that I got into comedy.

Well, you know, I was, again, we're jumping around, but I love this because I have it in my notes, like coming to America with like- This is how my standup is.

But no, it's just like Miles Davis on some kind of fentanyl or something.

But no, but this is this is this is how it's going to be because this is the best way.

But I have coming to America like 75 exclamation points because, yeah, Eddie's great in that film.

You are so good in that movie.

That is such a great performance.

And I remember when you were the preacher and I didn't know that your dad was a preacher.

And then I read in the in your book that, of course, you could play that part.
