And everybody has that.

No, it's the ultimate wealth.

It's the ultimate wealth.

And just not worrying about your bills.

I remember I got a development deal.

Which for comedians is this is back in the day when everybody – they were trying to turn everybody into Jerry Seinfeld.

They tried to turn everybody into a sitcom, Roseanne.

So everybody – they would come to comedians and they'd give you a development deal and they would give you like $100,000 or something like that.

And then they would try to write a sitcom around you and develop a pilot.

This was like the game.

That was the hustle.

And the first time I got a development deal, I think I was –

26 I guess I was 26 something like that and you know my whole life I'd been paycheck to paycheck always broke you know and for the last five years just hustling as a comedian trying to get by I was just as happy that I didn't have to have a regular job I was just a comedian but I was always broke

And then all of a sudden I got, I think I got $150,000.

And it was like this enormous weight was lifted off my shoulders.

It was the craziest weight.

It was like physical weight.

I was like, now I don't have to worry about my bills.

Every month it was like, can I pay rent?

Can I keep the lights on?
