And I remember there were very key moments of watching your show.
and watching the documentary, the tour doc, Conan O'Brien Can't Stop, where it felt like, oh, this person is like, can have, you can have your problems and your anxieties.
And I was going through a lot of anxiety at the time.

And it like, I've never told you this really, but that documentary was like a big deal for me as like a kid being like, okay, things are...
crazy and scary and I'm very anxious and you can go through things and you can be okay.
And if you really commit to being funny, you can make it through stuff.
So that was a part of the bug, but it was just a bunch of, you know, there's YouTube had come out.

There's all this standup.
