I was renting the couch in a living room with four comedians total.

I was one of them.

One had a bedroom with a bathroom, another one had a bedroom with a bathroom, and me, and there was a little love seat.

A guy was renting the love seat.

And I had to pay $400 a month rent.

And I literally, even though I was working all the hours from literally 11 a.m.

on the phones to 7 p.m.

at night, and then I would put on the Comedy Store t-shirt and work the door from 8 p.m.

till 2.30 in the morning and then do it again the next day.

And because the comedy store didn't have, comedy hadn't had its second huge boom yet, which was a few years away, they would cut your hours at the comedy store.

They just wouldn't, not only would you not get overtime, you wouldn't even get the hours that you actually did work or really anything at all.

I couldn't make the 400 a month rent.

So anyway, a few weeks ago, I said to one of the other buddies that had a room, I go, hey, I think I owe...

I still think I owe the main guy a few hundred bucks rent.

He goes, you do?

He mentioned it last time I saw him.

And so I went to Venmo and I just Venmoed him a thousand bucks straight up.

And in the caption, yeah, exactly.

In the caption, I go, rent money, 2007.

No, these were my favorite times.
