But, uh,

Yeah, I mean, listen, you sit there and go, okay, how much do you need?

When could you kind of like tailor it back a little bit?

You're sitting there just asking it without an answer.

I'm actually hoping we figure it out on this show.

I had a hard time doing stand-up comedy two and a half, three years ago when I shot my special in Las Vegas.

I had sciatic pain ripping down my right leg and every time I moved I was in some sort of pain.

So it was really hard to be funny and be in pain at the same time.

So I kind of felt what that felt like.

yeah I mean listen is is the physicality going to slow down eventually as I get older yeah but I still like to think that I could still do stand-up comedy and make people laugh without you know jumping around on stage who knows how long did it take you to pay your dad back

God, I think it was a nine-month thing because I would float him money every month.

I think about $1,000 a month, maybe a little bit over that.

But I was also living, paying the bills and what have you.

So, yeah, it took about nine months working pretty much day.

This is how sick I am.

I used to... I was a part-time employee, but the reason I was part-time because I didn't want to have the obligation of working 40 hours a week because it would take away from standup.

So I would work part-time, but then if I had the time, I would go in to the hotel and I would stand, starting at 2.30, I would stand by where they punch in and out.

So...

People came in every hour.

So 2.30, that person came in.
