And I kind of stayed vigil at the hospital for like three or four days, like playing martyr, refusing to leave, sleeping there, eating there. And it was a surgery I'd arranged. It was a whole horror show. But it was like two o'clock in the morning and I had the experience of like just being woken up by her doctor, shaking my shoulder as I slept on a couch in the ICU, telling me she was gone.

And it was singularly lonely and bizarre. And in my life thus far, it's been my moment, along with birth of kids and weddings and stuff. But it was like, I remember being struck by, that's where some of the stuff was born out of. I wasn't eating a chocolate bar, but I remember that day I had given myself a break and went down to a local bar

like sports bar, walked out of the hospital, went to a sports bar and had like a burger at a bar and watched the NCAA tournament was on TV. And I gave myself an hour because there was just nothing. And I just like, that haunted me for a great long time that I'd left that day, even though there was nothing doing, I wasn't sick. You know what I mean? And so it was born out of that. Fun stuff.

No, no. I'm trying.

No, no. I'm trying.

No, no. I'm trying.

You know what I mean? I think so, but I'm not doing it with that intent. I mean, honestly and truly is like you just write if you're willing to dig in and write your stuff, then you hope that other people it's not like I'm going to do this so that other people can relate to it. Sure. Of course, everybody's had those moments in their lives, right?

So that's a byproduct of the show being done well by all the actors and all the other writers and whatnot. is like everybody's writing about their own human experience and hopefully a part of it connects with people. This show did. That was like the real gift of this show.

The reaction to this show will forever be different than any other show we ever do because everybody related to moments in their own lives and their family. Right, right, right.
