And it just happens to sort of fit, you know, what I do, which is talk in the moment, unscripted, like now.

both in comedy and this podcast, which are my... That's what I do.

I'm a stand-up comedian by trade.

I'm a podcaster by trade.

But also, this is my creativity.

And then the other word I looked up was selfish.

Of a person, action, or motive lacking consideration for others concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure.

Well, fortunately...

It was never about profit, and I don't know what pleasure is.

For me, relief is good enough.

And I don't lack consideration for others.

I think I did because I was self-involved, but I'm not a sociopath.

I have a conscience.

It's just sometimes I'm a little late connecting it.

After the damage is done, I realize, oh, I didn't take into consideration.

But over the course of this show...

You have heard me learn how to be considerate of others, how to be empathetic for others, how to listen to others, how to surrender a lot of my selfishness.

And that's become ingrained in me.

And that was the process of this.

And I imagine that some of you took some of that away from this.
