And if they're in school, you see them for an hour.

Just do a podcast with them so you can rekindle what you did with your wife where every week you check in and you just connect superficially across from microphone while daddy makes money for grandma.

It's been so much fun in this last year really of like hanging out with them more and realizing how much I was

missing out on things.

Oh, it dawned on you?

It dawned, wow, you were coming home and they were more grown up, right?

Well, you could just see that like, I mean, you can almost, you could feel it too, that they're like, oh yeah, you're leaving right now?

Because you leave a lot.

And you're like, yeah.

And then the real lesson, I think, where it hits you the hardest isn't when you're gone, because sometimes you're gone, you're like, I really miss them.

It's when you're there and you spend like,

five days together just doing things that you're like, oh, wow, I'm missing this all the time.

That's when it, I think, hits you the most is when you're actually doing stuff with them and then you're like, I can't believe I'm missing this all the time.

I would think that there are certain things to being a comedian that just sort of inherently make you more selfish than a parent needs to be.

Just the chasing of laughs, funny, me, me, solo act, I'm responsible for... Yeah, you're not wrong.

You're not wrong.

And then...

You know, by the nature of the job, you do leave.

You have to leave.

People are always like, why don't you bring them with you?
