You know, they're, they're something, I mean, you know, a lot of standups, they come from some difficult background or some kind of challenging childhood or drug abuse or whatever. So somehow that fuels that career somehow.

And so it was, I mean, my girlfriend at the time was like saying I shouldn't be doing this just because I would get so depressed.

I would be so angry that I was forcing myself to go into this environment and try to be funny. And it was just I was just not emotionally equipped to to deal with things at that time as a stand up comedian. I couldn't. So it wasn't in me.

I mean, I remember they did a spoof on Do the Right Thing, I remember, which I was like, oh my God, that's crazy. And I never imagined I would be on the show. I mean, when the audition came up and I knew they were looking for Asian-American, they were looking for Latino actors, comedians.

It was kind of a lot of things. I had kind of a challenging experience just because, I mean, it was fun.
