It's an interesting thing to me, just because I've always been fascinated with rich people and these people that run the world. And it's so interesting that some of their kids are like, I'm going to do stand-up comedy now. When was the first time you met a really rich person? How old were you?

But they weren't super rich. I would observe them, because my uncle was the director of operations for all these restaurant groups in New York City, this restaurant group in New York City. that had these big high-end steakhouses.
