It's like takes her mind off of it or whatever. It's the way you watch a show that's comforting. So anytime I think I want to go do something else, it's like I think about the hurt. And go, well, that's not fair to her. I'm not doing it to make myself look good or look better or do this kind of stuff. I'm doing it to make you laugh. I would say you can laugh with me or at me. So it doesn't matter.

You relate to it or you think I'm an idiot. Either way, I'm here to entertain you.

Yeah, I think it was, you know, I would do a lot of shows starting out. It'd be midnight. It'd be a show called Uncensored Comedy. And, you know, and I mean, these are some of my friends are like very dirty. Yeah. Most comics I'm around were the complete opposite of everything that I did. I had to learn how to do what I was doing in those rooms, but I didn't want you to notice that I was clean.

So I think that is something that helped me into the fact that if I can go up and make you laugh and make this crowd laugh, I'm 28 years old in New York City doing a show. It's one in the morning. These people are drunk and then I'm doing it. How can I do this material that's not doing sexual jokes or whatever everybody else was kind of doing? And so you learn how to try to hide it.

Cause I think if you walked up and said, I'm clean, it's going to be like, well, this guy's not cool. And this guy's not this and that. And, but I think it, I look back at now, I think it, you know, it was like, I was reliable for late night sets because I was clean, uh, Fallon liked me. And so it was like an easy one to go do and rely on.

Cause you know, I'm not going to say I'm not, I'm not having to like change my act for television.

Yeah, I'll tell her. Yes. I mean, there's a couple of times I'll go try it first to make sure I even want to. Because if it's not going to work, then maybe there is no reason for me to bring it up to her. But then if it works, you're even in more of a bind. But if it works, then I go and I can figure out how to say it. And I always try to make fun of myself, too, in it.

When I first started, I would do jokes about my wife and I could tell that the audience didn't. If they don't know you and if you don't show love, then they're not going to go with you. So if you show that aspect of it, then you can get away with quite a bit.

With my daughter, I'm very sensitive to try to... I haven't talked about her a ton outside when she was a baby because I didn't want her to... I want her to be her own person. I want her to be able to trust that she can come to me as her father, which is the most important thing, and say stuff to me and not think anything she says I'm going to go tell the whole world.

So it's splitting that balance to be like, I want to be very protective of that for my wife, for my family, for any of them to know that, you know, I'm not just using all of them to gather material.

He did. So he was a clown at the beginning and then he did magic. He's a magician. And, I mean, he'll tell me, like, jokes and stuff and say, well, you didn't say this and say that. So I can talk to him about comedy and all this. But... Yeah, competitive. I mean, he comes out on the road with me, and he's done a hundred and something shows with me in arenas, and it's, I would say competitive.
