It's the first place I've owned, yeah, for now six years.
You know, back in the day, I used to move around a lot. You know, like you'd live with roommates for a year, and then somebody would bail, and so you'd have to move across town. I used to be able to move in one taxi cab ride. Just kidding. a couple duffel bags for real. Really?

Chapter 8: What future projects are Bowen Yang excited about?
And stuff like a mattress, like a futon mattress in the trunk and then go cross town and then move back cross town and whatever.
Oh, this is sad.
Those are sad moves. I think fondly back, I used to live on 21st Street for years and I... What was that like? I remember having, I lived in this, basically a studio. This is such a boring story, but I'm going to do it anyway. And fold up... futon mattress. I didn't even have the frame. So in the day, I'd roll it up in the corner.
Just a cushion?
On the floor.
Like a swollen yoga mat.
Yeah. And then I'd have that. And then I had like two pairs of jeans and two t-shirts and whatever. And a dream. There was nothing.
It was just, I got to say, it was incredible. But isn't one of the greatest things about getting older is you don't move around like that. It's just exhausting. You don't realize when you're younger how exhausting it is to keep moving and moving and moving.
Well, you also become attached to more, you get attached to more stuff as you get older too, right? Or do you get rid of it a bit?
