You can't just sit there and say, this is where the Pope came, and now I'm here.

Right.

Growing up, Dice Clay was the guy who was selling out Madison Square Garden in the 80s.

And then after him, I think Eddie Murphy was doing it too.

I think Steve Martin was doing it.

But I don't think it was as publicized as it is now.

Then after that was, you know, I think Dane Cook in my generation was the guy who was selling out arenas.

And now it's like...

the theaters have become the comedy clubs you know it's like with social media and how how many people know about comedy you got you got like i don't know 12 to maybe 15 people selling out arenas now it's like it's like it's not like that uncommon you know so which which again it's like you you look at it go now was that feet was i mean what's next we gotta fulfill out soldier field

What's the next iteration of what your measured success is going to be?

No, that was not.

Again, that was the movie that I was nine weeks in Alabama.

Here I am acting on the other side of Robert De Niro, a guy who.

You know, growing up, he was on my wall and this and that.

Now he's playing my dad.

My dad's on set teaching De Niro how to be him.

And, you know, there's all this stuff that's happening.

And I'm bored out of my mind.

I mean, when you look at it opposed to stand-up comedy, it's just like there's no comparison.

I mean, you go stand-up comedy, immediate reaction.
