Yeah.

You didn't.

Yeah.

Yes.

I lived.

I feel like I became an adult and a real person in Chicago because I grew up, you know, Salt Lake, Mormon, the whole thing.

And so I was very sheltered and I had no sense of the world.

And in fact, comedy was like a lot of what gave me a sense of like, this is what other people are doing.

Whereas where we were, it was very, like, you go to church, you do all the church stuff.

You're not really supposed to watch, like, The Simpsons and stuff.

And, you know, I was, obviously.

But, like, yeah.

So comedy was also, I think, kind of what got me out of being super religious.

But I was like, I have to pursue this.

I moved to Chicago because, you know, you hear about Second City, you hear about stand-up, you hear about...

all of this improv stuff and sketch, and I just wanted to do all of it, you know?

And so I just moved, and everybody's like, that's crazy.

You're just dropping out of school to move to Chicago?

And I was like, eh, it'll be fine.

Like, I had no sense of my own mortality at 20, so I was like, yeah, you can just, like, go wherever you want and do whatever you want, and I think I have enough of an aptitude for this that it'll be okay.
