In that 99, 2000 era Southern buffet.
I worked 15 hours a week at Golden Corral.
Oh, God, no.
That would be miserable.
Monday through Thursday, Golden Corral.
Thursday night, I take the Greyhound to wherever my weekend gigs are.
Monday morning, I'm back in Tallahassee to take a night class, then go back to Golden Corral.
And that was the watchman's repeat while I was in school.
And so then after about a year of that, my mom got me a car.
Well, she put down on a car for me and that opened up essentially the whole Eastern Seaboard to me every weekend.
And, you know, that's why, you know, I say it a million times.
My mom is my biggest supporter because even when she didn't understand why I was doing comedy, she just wanted me to do it safely.
So here's a car.
Stop sleeping in the bus station.
That's going to get you murdered.
I'm like, you're probably right.
I will now go sleep at a truck stop.
But I would at least sleep at a Flying J. And it takes years of traveling to notice this.
