So her two friends came to live at our house and then I was kind of like shipped off like an evacuee. Yeah. To go and live with my parents for kind of two months, which was a real, you know... And I got offered the chance to do my show, you know, just on a computer, on a laptop, and then kind of send it in. So we did that for two months, and... Yeah, it was great.

It was great in terms that it gave me a focus and it gave people something to kind of watch, I guess, because nothing was getting made. So there was a while where, yeah, we were kind of like the only kind of comedy show that was still being made. But it was, I'll tell you what it was, the green room was less cool.

Yeah, we kind of, I think we, yeah, that show doesn't run anymore, but we, God, we did. You do specials? We're just doing the specials. We did like, oh, how many flipping heck?
