And in a world with comedians can be pretty cutthroat, and there's a lot of...
sour grapes and they don't like it if you make more money or get more famous or whatever that is comedians are famous for that uh not jimmy selfless always behind me always promoting me and always making sure that i did the right thing
Thank you.
Now, there's something that's interesting that was in there because Jimmy was joking that I would say I'm a millionaire, literally a millionaire going way back to the late 1990s when I was on K-Rock radio out here.
And I would say it.
I would say all the time.
I'd go, well, you know, I'm a millionaire.
I'm literally a millionaire.
And the reason I would say it
25 or 30 years ago is because I was feeling what's going on now, this, like, attack, the Bernie Sanders attack on success, attack on hard work, attack on millionaires.
Now, back then it was millionaires.
Then Bernie became a millionaire.
She upgraded it to billionaires.
But there was this, even back then...
25, 30 years ago, people were trying to downplay their success because they didn't want a target on their back.
And I felt that pressure and went the other way and would constantly go, I'm literally a millionaire, a millionaire all the time because the K-Rock, the radio station would say, stop saying that.
Stop it.
Like they don't.
I would say I flew first class back from New York and they'd go, don't say you flew first class.
And I'd go, why not?
