And I just thought, maybe I'm on a new path.

But I had already entered a comedy contest, just a small contest.

prior to quitting drinking.

So I just was like, I'm going to do it.

Yeah.

And then I won.

And it just, I don't know, it gave me, you know, who knows, maybe- Shot of confidence.

Yeah.

And I go, all right, maybe I am into this.

And so what I did was though, I just basically threw away every joke that I had and started writing new jokes, a cleaner path.

And, you know, I just became, you know, a cleaner comic.

And that is something I focus on.

Actually, I had a comic...

say something to me one time back in the day.

He was not religious at all, but he said something that really struck me.

I was doing comedy one night, and I had people from my church coming, and I was saying, I go, I can't do this joke or this joke tonight.

I got people from my church coming.

And he goes, it's interesting that you care about what people from your church says, but you don't mind doing those jokes in front of God.

And I go, oh.

Yeah.
