I'll bail you out.
It had meaning that that I gave him the money back because I was dead set on working a lot of hours to pay him the money back.
And then, you know, starting at zero and then keeping the job at the Four Seasons while I pursued the comedy.
But yeah, he he bailed me out, but I had to pay him back.
Well, I think when I came out of that, first and foremost, is like a work ethic that, you know, they instilled in me that no one ever is going to give you anything.
And whatever you got to do, you're going to have to work your ass off for.
So that being said, I think they did it too much because I don't know.
Sometimes I'm getting better at it when to kind of turn it down or turn it off.
You know, you go on this tour for whatever, two years.
and my mentality is what's next what am i doing you know what am i gonna do next you know which you don't really have to do anything next you could just wait until the next tour and then tour again but the way this is set up the entertainment business what a lot of people i think get sucked into is is is having to do even me i'm sitting there going i'm looking at my my other comedians you know one's got a clothing line another one's got that tequila and like and then you start thinking should i have a
vodka brand like this is what I need to be doing you know should I have a line of sneaker it's like it's okay just to be good at what you're good at you know sometimes I think you get caught up in having to do a lot more than what you even want to do because you feel a pressure that you have to be relevant or seen you know it's like with the social media and again I didn't grow up with the social media I didn't start my career with social media but now it's like if you don't post
on social media it's like you don't even exist you know it's like uh i don't know it just seems it seems a little i don't know it's a little strange to me the way this is all kind of set up i grew up with like prince and michael jackson where if you saw them it was like a treat you know it's like oh i remember when michael jackson showed up on arsenio hall was like jesus he comes out you know it was like but there was something alluring about that but now it's like
Too much access now, you're saying.
Well, I mean, is it?
I mean, people, they want to see everything.
They want to see you go to the bathroom.
You know, it's like you got to have a camera on constantly, apparently.
But I don't know.
I've wrestled with like what, you know, what to show online.
How much do you show?
