You're going to like it. I think so. When it's yours, it's different. Big time, yeah. Because you really understand it. You're like, I know exactly what I'm doing. Because you've had your shows. I've done some stuff. Nothing crazy. Do you like it? It's okay. I mean... It's a lot of work, and the payoff's just not there anymore.

Yeah, like if my friends are doing something, they're like, you want to do it? Oh, yeah. But if they're like, hey, they want you to audition. I'm like, eh, I'm good. Yeah. Someone so-and-so wants to know if you want to. Is it an open audition or are they asking for me? Well, they're open to you. I'm not doing it. I've been fucking doing this shit 35 years now.

I'm sick of jumping through hoops. Fuck it. You know what I do? You know who I am. You want me or you don't want me. I don't give a shit. 35 years? 35 years. Since 89. That is... I first did Just for Laughs in 96. Wow. That was a good year. That was when Just for Laughs would still... That's when Chicken got a deal.

And then he killed himself a few years later, right? Yeah.

Just fucking. He's just going for the punchline right to the end, you know? Oh, fuck. I love commitment. You have to commit. You got to commit to that one. You got to commit.
