And it was very advantageous.

My friend Bill Blumenreich, he owned the Comedy Connection.

He owns the Wilbur Theater now in Boston.

And I got a lot of gigs from him because he could call me.

When someone canceled, someone got sick and they said, hey, can you get to Dartmouth at 10 p.m.?

I'm like, fuck yeah.

And so I got gigs from that.

We joke about it to this day that I was like the first guy that he knew that had a cell phone.

It was a huge advantage.

And I remember when I had one in 94, I was like, this is great.

I can call my friends.

I don't even have to be home.

There was so many positives to it.

And it gave you an advantage.

It gave you an advantage that you didn't have to be home.

If there was a business thing that I had to deal with or something going on with my career, I could deal with it on the phone at Starbucks or wherever I was.

My fear is that this is going to be that times a million.

It's going to be you have to have it in order to compete.

Just like you kind of have to have an email today.

You kind of have to have a cell phone today.
