I was like, I need to figure this out or else I'm going to explode.

And now I'm kind of just like, whatever.

Yeah, I mean, that's, like, a slippery slope because it's, like... I don't know if it's a slippery slope, but, like, I remember... Because I would feel conflicted because it's, like, well, I make enough money technically on the podcast where I don't really have to tour for stand-up.

But then I wanted to.

It was, like, I want to do comedy and I want to, you know, keep going.

And I remember, like, feeling extreme guilt around, like, leaving to do stand-up when, like, you know, technically I didn't really have to because the podcast covers my bills, you know, and way more.

But it's, like...

So I remember wanting to do it and then being like, well, it'll be good for them overall.

And I was leaving.

When we were moving to Texas from Philly, they came and took all of our stuff.

And I'd always be like, yo, we need stuff.

That's why I work.

It's for you guys, blah, blah, blah.

And then they took all of our stuff a week before to drive in because we were flying.

And my kids were just so happy we had no stuff.

And I was like, yeah, this is just for me.

I'm just doing it for my ego.

They were happy in what way?

that they could run around the house unobstructed because we had literally no stuff in our house.

They were like, yeah, this is awesome.
