around, you know, that people are like, oh, wow, yeah, you know, they're still talking about this stuff. I'm really curious what they think about this thing.

Honestly, no. Mainly because, you know, I live in New York. I still live near all my friends who I grew up with. I'm in a group chat with like 15 of my buddies who I went to high school and college with. Only two of them have seen poor things or seen...

half of my work like they don't they're just like they're not like I'm around a lot of people who are like dude like oh cool like do your thing or whatever but I also think the nature of um Hollywood, the nature of, you know, I don't think that television and film is as much of a separator in terms of experience as before. And I think I mostly view that as there's a lot of pros to that.

Like a lot of people have access to creativity. A lot of people have access to cameras. A lot of people, again, like the social media stuff we were talking about.

Yeah. And I think that that's interesting. I mean, it's like, you know, I don't, And I purposely used the word interesting, which is a word that like... Can mean many things. It can mean many things. It can mean nothing even. But I will say I'm curious about it.

I find it... I'm more peaked towards something like positive than judgmental because the possibilities for conversations that we've gotten to have are just undeniably larger. And I think that that's always good. And, you know, even if it's bumpy, you know, in the middle. But yeah, I don't... I feel...

you know just as connected and and again i think like when some of what we were talking about earlier i i just know too many people going through really really real things and and you just try to be there for them and empathize with them and and you also really just sit in the reality of like anyone who's got anything good going on knows the reality that it could not be that way tomorrow you know

Yeah, a lot. I mean, I'm, you know, it's really interesting. Just I, you know, just started my wife and I just kind of being like, oh, we, you know. should we have kids? And just even the, you know, as we kind of start to, so many of my friends are having kids and you think about being in charge of another person, like entire livelihood. You're like in your 30s, right? Yeah, I'm in my 30s.

You're like in your 30s, right? Yeah, I'm in my 30s.

And so it's just kind of like you go, oh, wow, like that, the idea of not being a kid and just someone's kid, but like all of that, as I kind of start to, you know, really broach that and kind of start to really be like, oh yeah, like... You know, when I started making my show, I was 26. And I'm 34 now. So it's like...

You know, when I started making my show, I was 26. And I'm 34 now. So it's like...

that's a lot of time, but I, and then I'm like, oh yeah, like, I think I still kind of view myself as a kid, but not really. Like I am an adult. And so there is that, that aspect of it is, is really so new and just kind of really like figuring out, you know, oh yeah, like when does self-discovery, I mean, arguably it's always happening, but at a certain point it's got to transition into like

hey, this is what I do. This kind of is who I am. And there's something about the solidifying of at least parts of it that feel necessary. And so I think that is something I've really been exploring a lot on stage that has been very fun and different and new for me.
