I was doing a show, a corporate, and my opening act was Bill Clinton.
When was this?
Right after Clinton left office.
And so he was there.
I did a sound check.
And he came up and he goes, if you don't mind me asking, John, how much money are you making?
And I told him, and he went, what?
What?
That's true.
Because he was impressed that you were making so much more.
And he was making so much less.
Right.
So, you know, I know what I was making.
You deserve it.
It doesn't matter.
The point of it is that, you know, you can't get as rich as some of these politicians get.
on that kind of fucking money, you know?
You should have.
And you know, Bill, I mean, I commend you for getting a half a million dollars for speaking.
I didn't say I took the job.
