In fact, after that,

after the 400 rent, which, by the way, because I couldn't make the 400 rent, I got downgraded.

Not only was there someone else on the love seat, someone else moved in that could afford the 400 rent, so I paid 300 rent for a beanbag on the ground.

And let me remind you, the bathrooms were in the other guy's bedroom, so you had to tiptoe, if you had to pee in the middle of the night, through somebody else's bedroom.

So it was after that, actually, after basically the first year was that, I decided to just start sleeping in the backseat of my car, behind the Comedy Store.

where you weren't even allowed to park there.

It's a tiny parking lot.

So I would be up on one of the hills in the Hollywood Hills, and at 2.30 or 3 a.m.

when you're done, I would walk up a hill and get my car and drive it back into the empty Comedy Store parking lot, pull into the back.

Juan Carlos...

the maintenance man there that would show up at, like, 4 or 5 a.m.

was nice enough to wait a few hours to try to let me get a few extra hours of sleep before he would start nailing shit and fixing everything.

And it's literally the times now that I have a touch of success...

it's the times that I think about all the time now.

Every single time I find myself looking at the skyline of Austin from my beautiful fucking home with a crazy outdoor terrace and everything the way that I want it, I think about those times.

The struggle.

All the time.

Yeah, I mean, it happens quite a bit.

The I Made It thing happens a lot.

Every MSG, and even, I mean, again, you know, to go back to it, the Trump thing at MSG being global news was so insane that not only did I make it, I feel every time like I'm kind of making it again, you know?
