I see marriage as like.
A business transaction.
That's all I see it as.
I see it as a business transaction and people can look at me any kind of way, but you know what?
At the end of the day, if things don't work out, then you realize it's exactly what I said it is.
It's a business transaction.
I didn't work this hard to give up half.
I didn't work this hard to put myself in a position to lose.
I sacrificed everything, Shannon.
And I think that's one of those things a lot of people forget.
Like, okay, yeah, you got the talent, the skill, the mindset,
sacrifice is part of that and should be part of that because the things you're willing to give up, you're willing to give up the parties, the anniversaries, those special occasions, those moments, those family gatherings, all those times when I was on the road working my ass off creating and doing what I do to create that next special, that next thing, growing this brand.
People don't realize it's sacrifice.
What you give up is so huge and crucial to what we do.
And getting married is one of those things where I'm like, every friend that I've had that I've participated in in their marriage thing, it didn't work out.
And then I had to watch what happened.
And I'm like... And as a comic, every comic I know that has gotten married, it's like, ugh.
Didn't work out.
It didn't work out.
