So for you, it's calming?

I find it, yeah, it clears my head like nothing else.

I think just like the process of it, the fact it's,

Our show is so collaborative.

There are so many moving parts.

There is a simplicity, a directness to stand up that you can't really replicate.

It's just...

like it's a fundamentally selfish exercise, right?

And there's something I love about the social side of it, the fact that you are not socializing, like you can be an isolated person among a lot of people, like you're with a lot of people,

but you're alone.

Like there's a purpose to your day.

You can structure everything around that.

Like here I get to once a month at the Beacon with Seth.

Well, see, it changed over the year because I had kids.

So my body clock is not what it was.

I used to have the stand up body clock where I could happily just sleep past noon and do things.

Now I'm stuck between two worlds because my body wants to get up at six o'clock when my kids are getting up where they are.

So I'm kind of up then.

So for me doing standup right now, what I'm really, because I'm not kind of, I'm not in that regular routine.

It's kind of trying to break the routine of the way my mind works.
