It is.

It's amazing what we've got.

Also, my favorite thing about the scene here is the mothership helps everything around as well.

So I can't get over, every time that I've been here, how inviting, how cool all the young comics are.

All these guys who would...

chew off their arm to get a spot at your club are here for it and they're here at these other places they're doing all these other things because they believe in what the mothership's doing and there's all this other stuff so it has the most buzz as far not buzz that's a stupid word it has the it has a feeling it has like this vibe it has this aura whereas like that used to be in new york and that used to be in la and i don't feel it in those places anymore

I'm actually lucky that I can go do the cellar and I can go do the stand and I can do those things.

I can go to the comedy store.

I can go to the improv.

I'm at a place where they'll have me.

But there's not like a bunch of young guys doing small shows and excited at the idea of even going over to the store after their spots.

Which is why a lot of owners have terrible reputations because they do all these corner cutting or they do like... They're trying to fuck you over.

Yeah, but they're also desperate in a way.

Like these guys, they'll...

You know, I like club owners, but there's a lot of crazy club owners, and they feel that pressure of, like, I got to keep this alive.

I don't want to keep losing money.

You do not want to be one.

And then I went and became one.

Right.

And it's also not really stand-up.
