But with the podcast, certainly for a lot of the last five years, I've known I'm going to make some money every month.

You know, I think that's how I felt on that day.

But I think also I know that I mean, I love doing stuff.

And, you know, what annoys me about these periods where you have the time and you end up not doing any work.

And it's hard because, as we say, we've got you've only got that little window and there's lots of other bits of admin and stuff to do.

But you sort of feel like, you know, when you're in a position where you don't have to get paid for the writing.

And this is what, as a young man, I would have dreamed of, is saying, like, you can write anything you want, have a go at it, and it doesn't matter.

You're still getting paid for something else.

You don't have to worry about the bills.

So you could sit down and write all day long.

And I think the thing I suppose...

I would have loved is if that time had arrived when I was in my thirties and early forties, when I was sort of, it's about being hungry for it.

And I don't think I don't have the hunger to go, I'm going to work for 18 hours a day.

But when I was in my thirties, I just was obsessed with comedy and writing.

And if someone had given me the work, I would have written a thousand episodes of a sitcom or whatever it would, I could have done it.

And I'd slightly regret that the timing of that is different because now I just sort of think, well,

I don't know if I can be asked.

Well, I don't think I was very happy.

And I think that's part of what this is about.

I've got a young family and my family make me very, arguments aside, make me very happy.
