And so, like, either you love it or you don't.

Yeah, so I did, when I was in college, at Emerson College in Boston,

a bunch of us formed a thing called the Emerson Comedy Workshop.

And it was a theater group where we had to do original shows.

We had to write all the material to get credit for it.

So one of the characters I eventually played in that while I was in college was a guy, everything was kind of behind a fourth wall because it was the theater.

But there was one character I played, we called Bill, who was a really fucking angry guy.

It was basically me.

It was a really angry guy who smoked and who just fucking talked to the audience, ranted and raved about the Kennedy assassination or whatever, right?

He's literally like your parking meter guy, except it was me.

So when Steve Wright was doing that thing, I was like, well, I'm just going to try to do that guy, right?

That guy who was basically me.

So everything wasn't working.

But then I wrote my, like the first smoking joke I wrote, which was my sister says, you know, these things are just a replacement because my mom didn't breastfeed me long enough.

And I was like, hey, if I could buy a pack of tits, I would.

That was the first.

That was the first joke where I went like, oh, fuck.

As good as.

It took me a while, but that was where I got my first smoking, angry smoking chuckle.

Fuck, I just quit.
