But I'm just saying that attitude, not just comedy, that's New York as the city.

If you're starting your own company, if you've got an app, if you're working in finance, it's like that grit, I miss.

And I feel like...

Maybe because I'm an immigrant, I just relate with that sentiment.

Like the work.

The work.

It's like, I don't care about the branding.

If you're a cook, is your food good?

Is it gonna blow me away?

Because if it's not, I don't care.

Your car's getting towed.

It's just about the work.

You can't afford Uber.

It's just about the work.

But it's interesting here you talk about it because you've been in the game for so long and your peers are like legends now, right?

And so, I mean, looking from above, does it just look like a bunch of children playing it?

Like are y'all being stupid or like what is it?

Right, right, right, right.

I've definitely seen this happen.

And it's kind of crazy as, like, anybody who's under, like, 10 years, I would still kind of consider new-ish, you know?
