And it sold out almost immediately.

Followers and friends, it's two different things. But at the time, I was like, I got to accept I accept everybody, but I maxed that out immediately, and then it was just nuts, and I was getting... I got contacted by Warner Brothers. They signed me to a development deal. I signed a book deal with a publisher. I started touring. I quit my day job and started touring.

We had to add a second show, and it sold out, too.

And that's when I was like...

Holy shit.

This is wild.

So thankfully, I did beforehand, I had a manager already who lived in Los Angeles, but she was very green and new.

I didn't think anyone was going to... Even in spite of all that, I didn't think anyone was going to come to the shows. I was like, you know, dude, look, it's one thing to watch somebody...

And it sold out almost immediately. We had to add a second show and it sold out too. And that's when I was like... Holy shit. This is wild.
