I never lived by myself.

It's kind of sad because I went right from roommates to living with my girlfriend and then wife.

Yeah, probably.

I do like it when I go to a hotel.

I guess that's my time.

I mean, I had a very clear, I've always been like a few years behind the path that you're actually supposed to do.

So I was still in my head that it was a few years ago.

And my goal was to get on New Faces in Montreal and then get a development deal or get on a late night show basically.

And I was really focused on that or get a writing job too.

I was kind of trying to do that at the same time.

And I was always really focused on like the tight five and not trying to build like a longer like road set.

Right.

And I kind of like, I took for granted that pretty early.

You never appreciate what you have, but I was pretty...

early able to get into like really good shows in like the alt scene.

Because kind of, you know, at Westwood, that open mic, I met like Scott Aukerman and BJ Porter, and that was right before they started what became Comedy Death Ray at M Bar.

So I got in there right away.

And then I got, it wasn't too long before I was in Largo.

Yeah.

I mean, it's easy when you do one-liners, but I think, yeah, because I still get to do a bunch of jokes.
