And even now when I have to tell the story of my life, I have to be like, okay, I was born in California.

Because then people start, well, where did you go to high school?

No, I didn't.

I was not here for all that.

But, yeah, so there is something about –

me something about this that makes sense that like when i moved to the bay area i thought i'd be here for like two years and then moved to la and you know get a sitcom movie deal all that stuff you know the uh the young chris rock package where you get a sitcom and a movie deal and a lethal weapon sequel um but like none of that happened and i ended up staying and now i've you know now i can't now i'm pot committed yeah that's fantastic i mean i was in new york for a couple years with my first tv show but then as soon as my wife got pregnant yeah we moved right back

So yeah, the great thing, and I know how you feel about this, but you guys feel about this, but the great thing about being in this business is that sometimes you get to take them on work trips and sort of, it doesn't always work to split the difference, but like, you know, so like we got to, you know, when I was in Montreal, when I, when we had two daughters, we went to the

We went to the Just for Laughs in Montreal, and I took my daughters with me.

And it's sort of cool to have them walk around town and go, see that tiny poster underneath that giant poster?

The tiny poster is me.

Yeah, exactly.

For sure, for sure.

Yeah, yeah.

Like, there's a picture of them.

Like, there's all the comics who have shows at the festival, and my daughters are at the bottom of this giant poster with all these pictures because my poster was at the bottom of this.

Yeah, so.

That's great.

So, yeah, so we've gotten to, like, when my daughter, my oldest daughter was 13.

six weeks old is when I've gotten to the Edinburgh fringe festival.

So we had to get our passport at six weeks old and take her to Edinburgh fringe festival.
