And I was telling him, I was saying, you know, I stopped drinking before I go on stage because, you know, I feel like there was this period where I didn't have a drink for a couple of weeks.

And when I was doing crowd work, I was just coming up with stuff that I would never, you know, you know, when you have a great set of crowd work and you get up, I came up with this intricate story that I told.

And it was clear my mind was operating in a different level than it would have been had I just had a few beers the night before even.

So then when you go home, you don't really even recall.

And that's the big part of repetition, getting up and doing these sets over and over again, and you remember everything and build on it and build on it.

Yeah, I knew I was going, I'm not going to do what I did last time.

That just seems like such an extreme.

It's like you know you're drinking too much when you're like.

You're in a hospital bed with an IV drip.

The reason I told you about the reason why I wanted to come down here sooner and just kind of come check out and hang at the club.

I was super stoked that I'm actually getting to –
