But the sort of PG things that I was partaking in were – Me and my buddy Anthony Pettix would go shoot hoops at a local court in somebody's neighborhood in New Orleans.

a dark awkward day yeah yeah so you you've done drama you've done comedy is there one that you prefer more than the other at this point in your career i think i prefer drama because there's just a complexity to it that has more of a variance and a diversity comedy is sort of can feel redundant sometimes, and that's also why even your favorite comedians make comedy movies that you don't like.

Right. But like comedy, there are brilliant people who do comedy and we're like, that movie sucked. Why isn't it as good as the one they made eight years ago? Right. And it's like, well, comedy can get very redundant.

And my last few years of high school, I did three plays a year, wrote for the school newspaper, did choir, was in barbershop quartet, was class president one year, was writing scripts and doing stand-up. So it was like I was trying to do the John Cena, Dwayne Johnson schedule before I was actually able to do that type of schedule. I was nuts.
