I know. And it was the worst period I've ever experienced. I'd never experienced anxiety, never experienced depression. And now it was just fueling all the time.

And I started after we had a kind of an all clear signal, I went out and I started talking to the audience. So I thought as a placeholder, what I'll do is talk about how I reacted to the pandemic. I don't care what your choices were. These are my choices, which made some of the audience angry because you're not supposed to. It's like, this is me, you schmucks. Not you.

And then I get to this point that I thought, and the first night I did it, it was about how I destroyed, I went through, then you had this relationship, you destroyed that, and you fucked this up, and I do a litany of how I screwed up all the relationships in my life, and what a piece of shit I am, and I just bombard myself for a minute.
