It's all in your head.

There's nothing bad that's going to happen.

But thank you again for being here.

And just before I was told that we got the green light to start, you were telling me about a novel you just read.

Yeah.

And how it affected your thinking maybe about something important that happened to you.

So pick up where you left off.

Yeah, it was going to come up.

But something else I was interested in about that experience is related to what you just described, the awareness that that feeling of being present was going to fade.

Yeah.

How effectively can you get that back?

How about that for a TV show?

Well, in a weird way, it's possible that the path to being a millionaire is clearer than the path to being happy.

Sure, I've done all right.

Did that make you happier?

You know, there was a clip of you from an interview that I saw earlier this year that's been kicking around my head since I saw it.

And you were being interviewed by Mike Birbiglia.

And he asks you if there's anyone you're jealous of or something like that.

And the way you answer the question was by saying you're jealous of anyone who has young kids at home.

Because when you had young kids at home, you had no questions about what your purpose was.
