They're like, we got an amphitheater act that'll let you be two of four. This'll be great. And you're going out there looking at 6,000 people. Oh, my God. You've never stood up in a bar.

A night? And we're going to do it three nights every weekend. Oh my God, I'm rich. I'm buying a Corvette. That's fucking it. Immediately. And then you go to the next booking agent and they're like, now hear me out. My plan is for you to go play these 200 cap rooms like the Hi-Fi in Indianapolis, the End in Nashville. We're going to go do that for six months.
