Whereas a comedy career, I was like, all I knew was that I would turn on the TV and then it's like, please welcome Paula Poundstone.

And that could be the first time the world sees Paula.

But I didn't understand that

And that's not now.

Obviously, Paula and all these incredible comedians have audiences they've built over the years.

But as a kid at home, I'm like, who is this Paula Poundstone?

How did she walk on stage to a sold-out theater?

I didn't know that they fill the theater with audiences and then tape a special.

Right.

You know, it's like the audience is bust in and they don't know who Paula Poundstone is.

Yeah.

That seemed like, oh, I get that.

But I'm not a great guitar player or great drummer.

I play a little bit of both.

But I do still dream of having a cover band with a bunch of 50-something-year-old friends.

I didn't know who to – I was in Texas as a teenager and I was like so obsessed with stand-up comedy.

Yeah.

And, but I didn't know who to talk to, to find out how do I do, like, where do I go?

What do I do?

I want to be a comedian.
