Right, and that was the therapy move is like not feeling like, oh, you were up for the dream and it's gone. It's like, no, no, no, you're in – you've been recognized. You've been validated and you can just move forward because there's a lot of people that have been up for SNL that didn't get it that we all know.

And I was like, oh, I think I have to figure out how to show up on another map.

How do you keep yourself in the game?

And, you know, doing comedy live at clubs was a great way to do it.

Stephen Colbert. I mean there's a ton of people. It's one of those things, but you just – hopefully you take – rejection is protection if you look at it that way and just realize, oh, I'm just being redirected. There's something else waiting for me. Yes. Just keep it up. And I remember, you know, I started to do a comedy act in 2001 with a friend of mine from Second City Days.

And so we kind of found a funky way to get in.

So we were sort of in the cover band comedy world.

So we were opening for people like Richard Cheese, for the Dan Band, for Pebble's Pity Party, Garfunkel Notes.

There was a world of music and comedy that we were a part of.

And that was great for me.

And we did a two-person dying lounge act. We did it for 20 years. We still did it when the office ran. We did a lot of comedy festivals and comedy clubs. We did it every Saturday for five years initially. Wow.
