Yeah, it's... You know, look, I mean, it's easy to make fun of Lewis for crying and stuff, but it was... You know, I definitely was feeling it, too.

I mean, I'm not a fucking... I didn't cry, but I was... I mean, I'm not...

I'm not a girl, but no.

But, you know, it's like, you know, leaving something that I've been doing for like 15 years and something you did with people you love is, you know, I don't know, Rob.

It's, you know, I know I've talked to you about this a lot.

It's like one of the only lessons.

I don't know.

One of the only lessons that I've really like learned from, you know, my career.

There's a lot of lessons you learn.

But so I remember I know I've told you the story.

I tell almost every comedian who's like younger than me.

or started comedy after me, I ended up telling them this at some point, but it's not that even as that big of a deal, but to comics, they kind of get it.

But there was, um, I used to, when, when I first started comedy, I was like maybe like a year into doing standup comedy.

And I got, I got in at standup New York comedy club.

Um, the, the,

I had done like a showcase for MTV and it went really good and they took an interest in me.

And then that made this one booker at standup New York really take an interest in me.

And he, he was managing like Patrice O'Neill and some other guys at the time who liked me.

And so like it, I just kind of got in there and I,

this club was on fire at the time it was like sold out on the weekends every weekend like you know whatever it's like 150 people or something like that but when you're a young comic to get like prime weekend stage time is like amazing and then anyway it turned out that guy the booker who took an interest in me was um stealing a lot of money from the club
