Maybe, yeah, maybe slightly right at 10 years, maybe.

And, you know, and I barely paid.

I barely put a chunk in my actual like I was paid.

Most of that was interest payments.

And so I just I always constantly look at it.

And I realistically would not have paid paying at the rate that I was paying.

I would have paid them off maybe in my late 40s, early 50s.

um certainly would never have been able to buy a house um which is another huge sort of milestone that i never thought i would be able to accomplish in my lifetime certainly not this soon and um yeah it it it was um

And it's interesting because Sunnyside, that show at the time felt like the biggest career flop of my entire life.

But Matt Hubbard wrote on that show who also created Loot.

They they wrote Loot with me partially in mind because they liked working with me on that show and knew me from that show.

And I got that part done.

I had to audition for it, but it was one of those things where it was like, just don't fuck this up and it's yours.

And then Asim Batra was also a staff writer on that show.

And she is now the showrunner of Scrubs.

And it was the same situation when Scrubs came back.

She had me in mind for this part.

And it's because she worked with me on Sunnyside.

So it's one of those it's a big lesson that I always try to communicate to people, which is you don't really know the end of the story until you've zoomed out and you have some distance from it.

Because if I only paid attention to that year of when the show was canceled, of course, it feels like a flop failure.
