Eugene Khoza

You forego it.

You forego it.

Absolutely. Yeah.

Absolutely. Yeah.

Life is about us meeting our teachers. Life does not have built-in meaning. Life is meaningless. And you see that when you lock yourself in a room and do nothing. Everything else happened without you. Traffic happened. Restaurants were open. Until you get out the room and interact with the world, then meaning happens. Then you walked a long distance. Then you ate this great thing.

Then you played pickleball with your friends. So life has no built-in meaning. We give it meaning. But what makes life interesting is we're here to learn lessons and we keep meeting our teachers along the way. And one of the reasons why I think our friendship, you and I, has endured so long, and it's actually almost the same age as my daughter's relationship, is because of your childlike nature.

You look at the world with wonder. You don't look at anything as impossible. I remember one time you and I were driving somewhere and we were stuck in traffic and you said, Eugene. And I said, yes. Because that's how we talk to each other. You said, you know what we must do? And I said, what? You said, we must buy a plane.

I said, eh? He said, yes, we must buy a plane. And I was like, planes are expensive. He said, yeah, yeah, but they're small ones. You know, we can buy a Cessna. You know what we can do? If four comedians come together and we put a hundred, a hundred, a hundred, a hundred. If we need to go somewhere, then we can just fly the plane. Then I was like, but what if we need to go different?

He said, yeah, then we'll book shows. Then we can all fly in together. We can fly in, fly out. Then we'll make it home again. You're like, yeah. Then I was like, okay. There are many times that you and I did things.

But fast forward 13 years later. No, no, no. I'm with you. You see what I'm saying? So you've always had that. The day you immigrated to America, I remember I was at your house. You said, come over. And then I came. Then we played Army of Two. And then you're like, I have to go now. Then I was like, where are you going? You're like, I'm going to America. Then I was like, is it a restaurant?

Can I come too? What's going on? And you're like, no, no. Then you packed your bag, you switched off the thing and you're like, oh, you can have these games. I'm not going to play them anymore. I was like, are you really leaving? You're like, yeah. Then I was like, but what time do you need to be there? You're like, I need to be there 30 minutes ago. Then there you were in great tracksuit pants.

You were gone. You went to go start a new life and a new career elsewhere. And I always looked at you and I go, I was telling a friend of mine, when you first started to become prominent in American culture or in the American space, I said, this guy would have been successful even though he was a plumber. Comedy did not help him become successful. TV did not help him become successful.
