And I had reached a point in touring where I had a tour manager now, because that was always her worry, is that she wanted to make sure I was okay and taken care of. She's the best. And that's not fun. Then that's a second job. Yeah, and I'm on stage... I get the glory, you know, of the travel or the tiredness. I'm on stage and people laugh and clap and tell me, good job.

She's like stuck in a green room, you know, and it's not listening from backstage. She doesn't get the payoff of it in that way. But we found a good balance, I think. And I don't do like the bus tour where you're out for like four months. I go Thursday, come home Sunday. Yes. That's so perfect. We're not like apart for long periods of time.

That's unreal. My first, I want to say, up until 2020, I did meet and greets after every show. I stayed for an hour and a half. I'd do four shows and then meet everybody.

No, it was all free. I was still building my stand-up, building my career. I wanted to do it to just connect with people and build that fan base. So the meet and greet was then longer than the actual show. It was very long, yeah. And so for years, meet and greets, I sold my own merch before Jack sold it. I'm like taking pictures and swiping credit cards. Yeah, we do the same shit.

But I knew that, or the hope was that if you have that personal connection that would build it for life and they would want to come back, you know, as, uh, as you grew.
