I know. It's such a nice feeling, man. It's so nice to watch this happen for you because, you know, you were one of the guys that came out here early. You took an early risk. Yeah. You know, a lot of people in the beginning were like, what the fuck is everybody doing moving to Texas in the middle of the pandemic?
Yeah, but, you know, honestly, it didn't feel like that big of a risk. Well, maybe at the time. I don't remember, man. But it felt like an easy decision when I made it. But it was a last minute thing. I literally from the time I decided to move like I was moving to the time I moved, I think it was like a month.
Yeah, it was quick for me, too, man. Yeah. I mean, I was I came out here in May of 2020 and I started looking at houses immediately. And then, you know, we got there was like, you know, a little hesitation with Mrs. Rogan. And the girls were really into it right away, because when we got out here, you could jump in the lake. people were partying it was like we went on a boat my real estate agent's a genius she took us out on the lake and she showed us like this is the like the life out here like people are having fun and everybody was terrified in la everybody was wearing masks outside it was just and here like no one had masks on outside you go to restaurants and and my daughters just wanted a life a real life and that's back when they were like they were fucking with the store
It was so crazy for the store to be two blocks from, what's that country bar? What is it, Roadhouse?
What risks did comedians take during the pandemic?
Saddle Ranch. Saddle Ranch. It was two blocks from Saddle Ranch. And Saddle Ranch had 100 people out there with little dividers between them and everything. And then the store, they tried to do the same thing, but they put comedy outside with dividers in front of everybody and everything. And the city was still like, no, that's live performance. Shut it down. We couldn't do comedy through the fucking window.
My friend's brother worked for the city and worked in the COVID department. And one of the women who was in charge of making the decision to close down outdoor dining, he said to her, there's no evidence that outdoor dining causes a spread. And she said, yeah, but it's about optics. It's about optics. So some person who none of their money is dependent upon business being open, they get that same check every week. That check is, that's what you get. You work for the fucking state. This is my check. She didn't give a fuck about just stopping millions and millions of dollars in business and stopping all these restaurants from being able to stay alive. All these people that, you know, you ever worked in a restaurant?
Oh, yeah.
That's work, man. That's work. When I was... I guess I was 21. I was dating this girl who... She got a degree in hotel management and hospitality. Like that kind of thing. And dude, the hours that she had to work were crazy. Right out of college, she was working like... All day long, 12-hour days were normal. And if you were a manager, you'd come in on Saturday if they needed you. You'd do everything that they ask you to do, and you don't make any money. It's grueling. The amount of money that a restaurant makes, like a restaurant has to be like really killing it to make money. Generally, they're just above the part where they're losing money. Just above. If they're packed, they're doing great. But there's nights that they're not packed and you've got all this food you bought.
That's how most comedy clubs are running.
