I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background systems and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com website.

Yeah, I need to stop playing around.
No, ask them for money.
Yeah. They'll give it to you. Yeah, I know. I haven't asked anyone. I was like, no, I don't really drink

and
aren't T-shirts that say stupid stuff on them. So, I mean, but yeah, whatever. Does it make you start to – do you have preacher merch? Yeah, I have merchandise. Yeah. I sell out to my shows. I don't have it online because I'm dumb. I'm really dumb. I'm slacking on a lot of things.

power of fucking being ready for the moment. You know what I'm saying? And backing it up with all the work that you've been doing and are doing. And then getting exposure like that. It's
crazy.
It's just fucking bonkers. How many people watch that show?
Well, we averaged 16 million viewers. That's insane. Those are blossom numbers, you know what I'm saying? Well, let's not get crazy. It's insane, man. It definitely changed my life. I mean, I didn't know. I knew the show was bad. Yeah,

how big it was right it was it was I didn't realize how many families family members and friends I had either Yeah, I want to talk about that how many years
had you been doing stand-up before you audition for the show eight years Yeah, I've known eight years. Yeah, so
