So that is a quote from the book.

So yeah, I am going to point some of that stuff out.

And then when I talk about Mark Berg, and Mark and I are great friends these days, but I do say Mark was the gatekeeper for,

And I wish he would have had a better key or a stronger lock or something that – or a lock that looked more like a comfy chair and a willing ear.

You know, it's like I –

I just think there could have been a moment in the middle of all that when someone could have just said, all right, we're going to – we're putting the chairs on the table, putting the lights on.

The party's over.

This guy's coming with us.

And it could have been –

Could have been interrupted, you know?

But then suddenly there's this idea for a tour, you know?

And I'm like, what would that even... What does that mean?

I'm not a... Did I start a band I can't remember forming?

Is there some part of me... Like, what are we... Because touring for me could only be a musician or like a really popular comedian, right?

And there was nothing funny about my act at that point, right?

But...

But yeah, and then Live Nation gets involved and I go visit them and suddenly, you know, I'm holding a machete to a cheering crowd and they're booking dates, you know, which is why in the book, the only thing that I describe...

On that tour, is that, I don't want to give it away, but is that incident that takes place in the bathroom, you know?

And I think just symbolically, that's really how I felt about that whole incident.

That whole shit storm.
