And I'm like, well, he's got an audience that I haven't tapped into.

He's 31 years old.

Why can't I make his audience laugh?

So I went on his Twitch on Halloween, which was an odd experience for me because, you know,

It's live.

It's like whatever's happening is happening.

You could walk out of there and not have a career based on what the hell you say.

You know what I'm saying?

So it was a little frightening.

But you know what?

I wanted to face my fear of going into an environment where I knew nobody.

I never even met the guy before.

And the next thing you know, I'm in his...

his ecosystem, hanging out with his friends, his agents, his managers.

And I'm like, you know what, let me throw myself in the fire and see what happens.

So I like to do different things.

And if, you know, these opportunities arise where, you know, it's something kind of new and exciting, I don't mind being a part of it.

But there's a lot of deliberation that goes into it.

yeah i think that was the mindset i didn't want to like have a distraction of a wife or kids well i mean it would have been back then i don't even know if i would have made it because i know how i am with family now and i even know back then when i didn't have a family if i had a family i would feel extremely guilty leaving my young kids and my wife while i went on a six-week run right

i would be pulled i am pulled now but at least i have the means where i can kind of set up the schedule the way i want back then i you know i told my agent you i work 52 weeks a year i don't take time off can't do that when you have a family you know what i'm saying so i think it all happened for the right reasons i did have kids late in life uh sometimes i look at my friends in chicago who their kids are going off to college now i got an eight and six year old so
