00:02:57.000It barely has anything to do with what we were talking about.
00:03:01.000There's something about a beard, though, that makes you distinguished or at least have experience, or look like a homeless, you know, I mean, there are plenty of those guys too.
00:05:25.000That was the show that I listened to coming home from Hollywood because I lived out in the valley and I would drive home at night and I'd listen to Late Night with Art Bell.
00:05:57.000A great, underrated game got ripped off, or just people bit certain things that they started.
00:06:05.000But one of the coolest things so it's about like this it takes place on a reservation, you know, in the 90s, I guess, or something like that.
00:06:18.000And there's a bartender and her boyfriend, and it takes place in this bar, and then aliens come.
00:06:27.000Then this guy goes on the alien ship to go rescue her.
00:07:18.000And he would always, always treat the guest with deference, you know, respect.
00:07:25.000And I, I, that must have been because there were things that were, you know, if you go back to all the episodes that were kind of contradictory in a sense, you know, like, wait, you think all these things happen?
00:07:37.000You think there's a place in the middle of the ocean that has, like, it's a community of people that live there and, and, And then, but you also think this, like all these different things, it'd be like, hmm, huh, interesting.
00:08:02.000He had a time traveler line where you would call specifically if you were a time traveler.
00:08:12.000What if, but if you were calling from the past and they didn't have that technology yet, No, that's mostly people from the future, I believe.
00:08:20.000Like, Art, I'm calling from seven minutes in the future.
00:08:24.000I think his whole deal was if you are here in this current era, but you are from another time, you could call.
00:08:32.000Because, you know, the idea was like, he would have these remote viewers and oddballs on, and they would talk about that we have had the ability to time travel for a long time.
00:10:06.000Because he'd repeat characters and stuff.
00:10:09.000But I got the chance to watch him do a show.
00:10:13.000So he's got three mics, I want to say.
00:10:20.000Like two mics, like this, and then a phone mic.
00:10:24.000Or, you know, a phone, like an old time cradle phone.
00:10:29.000And he was doing himself, the woman who runs the HOA or whatever, that character, and then somebody else.
00:10:44.000Calling in like he did somebody calling on the phone, and it was, uh, I mean, it was like a magic act, yeah, it was crazy to watch how without missing a beat.
00:10:54.000And I could see, uh, you can see how he strategically takes breaths so that he can go from one character to another and interrupting each other, yeah, you know, it was fascinating.
00:11:09.000But he's a genius, it's the only thing that caught right away.
00:11:12.000I was like, oh, wait a minute, there's no crosstalk.
00:11:15.000Well, one of the early times I listened, I was like, I think this is the same guy.
00:11:23.000Like, he's really good at, you know, making it sound as if, like, because he'll interrupt himself and go, and I, okay, but, you know, and stop and then just go right into the other voice.
00:11:47.000He used to put out stuff for charity, like CDs and things.
00:11:51.000And he has, I don't know what it would be called, but it was one of the things he put out for charity that was a guy called into the station.
00:12:05.000He was probably super high, but he called in thinking it was Pizza Hut.
00:12:10.000And he fucks with this guy in the best way, where he's like, And who's the woman character he does?0.58
00:12:19.000It's kind of like a black woman who's like, honey, it is the best.0.91
00:15:24.000So we were talking about the process of creating a pilot and what it's like trying to get a pilot to an actual finished television show and get it approved and what the struggles are.
00:16:33.000It's TJ Jadogowski and Dave Pasquese, who are like the kings of that.
00:16:42.000Stuff in, uh, out of Chicago and they come, they tour around, uh, and they're just, they're two guys who, uh, it starts off, you know, it's none of it's planned, none of it's, uh, and they have like a dedicated cult following.
00:16:56.000When they're in New York, it sells out like that.
00:16:58.000And you got to go to, uh, at least two shows to see how wildly different it is.
00:17:04.000I mean, they're two guys that come out on stage, usually it was like three chairs, and it'll just start with like, uh, you know, How's it going?
00:17:45.000I have seen, I've probably seen him 30, 40 times, and I've seen shows that were more, that were funnier, more poignant than some plays that have been worked on for years.
00:18:14.000So I was, and Tim's been, you know, SNL.
00:18:19.000Yeah, and ensconced in that second city world for decades.
00:18:25.000And he said it was the most terrifying thing he's ever done because they're like genius level.
00:18:32.000I mean, the detail you have to remember.
00:18:35.000And then, on top of it, if one of them is, you know, I'm a marine biologist or whatever, it slips out, then that person has to know about the real person playing the fake marine biologist has to know enough about marine biology to keep the thing going, you know?
00:18:58.000So maybe you're headed to the beach or maybe you're taking the kids on a road trip or maybe you're just taking some extra time for yourself.

00:20:03.000Well, I'd imagine that's like a muscle that you just get really strong with, like ranters.0.98
00:20:20.000Most of his podcasts are just him ranting.
00:20:22.000And I've watched the development of it.
00:20:24.000I'm like, that's an amazing muscle to develop because you just get accustomed to that kind of scenario, that situation where it's just, and your mind just gets used to producing content.
00:20:36.000And like old school AM late night radio guys, right?
00:20:41.000Who don't have people calling in who are like talking about whatever.
00:21:23.000And when you first start listening, or when I first started listening, and I came out to LA from Boston, you know, and people were like, there's this guy out here who's fucking nuts, you know, and I'd never heard of him in Boston.
00:22:12.000And he would look at 83, and he was, and it was a super low budget, like cable access type thing back when that was a whole thing.
00:22:25.000And he'd get the audience would be hooting and hollering, and he'd have people on, like somebody who, and sometimes they, I think, because it became popular, sort of like with Morton Downey Jr., where people came on to quote unquote fuck with Wally George.
00:26:05.000Once you get on your, by the time you're going to be on your fourth or fifth or sixth or Rupert Murdoch marriage, like I, what is the point?
00:28:09.000I would say that, not that we, you know, my wife and I have any, you know, real issues, but I would behave myself and stay and work at the marriage because of the kid.
00:28:51.000I was born in New Jersey, moved to San Francisco when I was seven, lived in San Francisco from seven to 11 in the height of the Vietnam War in Haight Ashbury, like hippie town.
00:30:34.000So I was aware of that, like how people are leaving the country so that they don't have to go to war.
00:30:38.000Like, this is because if you're a little kid, everything's fucking scary, especially if you come from a broken home and, you know, like, it's just a lot of fun.
00:30:45.000Yeah, and the concept of a draft or conscription, the idea, like, oh, you may have to go and you're going to learn how to shoot a gun and then go shoot strangers, kids, you know, like that.
00:30:57.000It's got to be terrifying if you're a kid.
00:33:52.000You know, the government was really good about portraying every black urban person as like potentially, you know, Muslim Brotherhood, 12 Tribes.0.93
00:34:27.000It was when I was living in New York, and I was walking down the street, and there's this guy standing there with like a microphone and a little speaker.
00:41:10.000And then the only reason why I stayed, I hated LA, but the only reason why I stayed was because I had got an apartment and I had a lease for a year.
00:41:19.000So I was like, fuck, I have to stay here.
00:44:16.000It was more like, wow, I can't believe I get to do this.
00:44:20.000But, you know, the real thing for me was to be able to be in LA and go to the comedy store.
00:44:25.000That to me was more, that was more huge than, like, when I got passed at the comedy store, that to me was, like, way bigger than being on a sitcom.
00:44:36.000Like, because at that, you know, like, at six years in, I was like, am I even, is this going to work out?
00:44:40.000Like, I don't even know if this is going to work out.
00:44:42.000Well, it's also not glamorous in any way.
00:44:47.000That aspect of working, Is there's nothing glamorous about a sitcom, you know what I mean?
00:44:55.000It's not the thing that when you're not in LA or Hollywood and you're sitting back and you're told about the glamorous lifestyle, the parties, and all that stuff, it's literally you're driving to work and you're going to work, you know?
00:45:09.000Yeah, but it was glamorous in a sense that you were on television, and that was very weird to me.
00:45:17.000It was very strange to watch it on TV.
00:48:07.000And then, and then, you know, it was still the coke residual and the bottom of his nose.
00:48:14.000But so he owed Fitzsimmons a chunk of money, like a significant amount, like $1,500, $1,800, like something meaty, you know, especially for back then.
00:48:29.000And, uh, you ask Greg, because I feel like.
00:50:08.000And the only, I've said this multiple times, the only, I'm extremely lucky that I was in Boston when I was in Boston because the comedy boom's going on.
00:50:21.000And outside of, I don't know, three places, I just, didn't do that well, and I certainly didn't do well at Nick's.
00:50:31.000They, you know, it had that vague feeling of high school where you're the weirdo and people want to fuck with you and throw you in the trash can.
00:50:41.000And so I got lucky because there were just spots they just needed bodies.
00:50:46.000So I worked all the time, you know, not great gigs, but I had it was all cash, you know, under the table.
00:50:56.000And they just needed bodies to, you know, go up and do 15 minutes, 20 minutes, whatever, at some cowboy bar in Pittsburgh or whatever, Fitchburgh.
00:51:07.000Anyway, so I get this, I get a week at Nick's, and I am not doing well at all.
00:51:16.000I think I'm opening up for Kevin Knox, so not my crowd.
00:52:50.000And do you remember where you'd walk into Nick's and there was like the podium, and then behind, a little behind it, is this little room with a curtain, right?
00:57:39.000And he would go on and he'd have, like, you know, it was pre PowerPoint, but it was whatever the equivalent of, you know, a screen behind him with stuff.
00:57:50.000And he'd go up there with a cooler, like a legit big cooler of beer, because that motherfucker could drink.
00:58:01.000He had a podium and he would just crack beers and just down a case of beer, half a case of beer, and just do his stuff, you know, extemporaneous stuff.
00:58:12.000I mean, stuff prepared, but about, you know, the State of the Union and all that.
00:58:19.000Like, and you'd see Dennis Leary and, you know, every single comic would be there, you know, trying up against the wall because it was packed.
01:01:03.000During the early days of AOL, for people that don't know, they had all these chat rooms, and sexual predators were using these chat rooms to find children.
01:01:14.000And also to exchange pornographic material.
01:01:24.000Um, right, and yeah, he like dedicated his life basically to just uh going out and catching these motherfuckers, yeah, and and helping you know, uh, the people who would pose as kids and stuff, and that was you know, that was his, and he was also uh.
01:01:48.000You know, lapsed Catholic, and when all the, especially in Boston, the Catholic Church and Diocese and all that stuff was coming out, he was, I mean, that was his fucking focus.
01:02:00.000Getting these fuckers caught, you know, exposed.
01:02:05.000But I think it took someone like him that was, he was levels above most of the other comedians in terms of his understanding of the world and his ability to articulate it, and also a great comic.
01:02:20.000So that, like, people looked at him like, well, this guy's like, he's clearly smarter than all of us.
01:02:26.000He's also like super dedicated to the craft of comedy, like, meant a lot to him.
01:02:31.000Like, the integrity of comedy, like, what it is to be a comic.
01:02:43.000He was a minor league or whatever sub minor league catcher.
01:02:49.000He played, he was at Syracuse University, and he played for like the Cape Cod League, and you know, the things that eventually you get to minor leagues, hopefully.
01:03:02.000But and he came from that hard drinking, you know, and and Catcher is arguably the smartest guy in the baseball team, right?
01:03:11.000He's the guy making the calls for the pitches, seeing everything, defensive lineups.
01:03:30.000And they kind of did the same act for decades, which is also kind of crazy.
01:03:34.000That to me was like, I knew there was definitely a.
01:03:44.000As I started to separate from that world a little bit and just kind of evolving as a comedian, and there was like the catch scene and Catch a Rising Star.
01:03:55.000And that was a thing that was an early.
01:04:06.000And then you would drive some of these guys because they get fucked up and you were happy to have all the work and you'd go up and do 15 and they'd do a half hour.
01:04:14.000You get in the car, you go somewhere else.
01:04:16.000And these guys doing Mike Donovan doing, he would do his, remember Rosie, the bounty, the quicker picker upper, the bounty.
01:04:28.000So he had, there was a, So the commercials were like Rosie, and it was like the scrappy waitress at a diner.
01:04:39.000Remember, it was like a character that was in all the, it was like the, you know, mascot of whatever, Bounty, the quicker picker upper.
01:04:48.000And her character was kind of like feisty, as in these commercials ran for years, you know, different, like, ah, you don't do this, do this.
01:04:57.000And his bit was about taking a gun out and shooting her.
01:09:00.000In that, if you didn't know what he was doing and you came to see specific.
01:09:05.000Like, if Hedberg, there's a famous story of Hedberg was on the road in Ohio and they had this guy who was an opening act who'd do like backflips and fucking sing rap songs.
01:09:22.000The owner of the club and became a big thing.
01:09:26.000But once Hedberg got an audience, then people knew what they were coming to see, and then he was amazing.
01:09:31.000And then everybody wanted to see that.
01:09:33.000That was kind of the same with Stephen Wright.
01:09:35.000Like, if you expected, if you're on a show with Steve Sweeney and Lenny Clark and all these big energy fucking Boston guys, and then, you know, I used to work at a fire hydrant factory, couldn't park anywhere near the place.
01:09:52.000You know, like, it just, for whatever reason, You know, well, it's also that other comedy is, and I'm not taking anything away from those guys, and the bits were great, but the other comedy is a little easier.
01:11:06.000Then the other thing was like, if you never left, you had no chance of developing like a national audience where you could go to a club in Philadelphia.
01:12:00.000Because if you get stuck in that writer's room and you never do the road, you never put out specials, you're never going to get an audience.
01:12:06.000You're always going to be beholden to an employer.
01:12:09.000You're always going to have to have a job.
01:12:11.000And there's great comics that got trapped with that.
01:12:19.000Yes, it's a trap, but if they didn't have the wherewithal or foresight or willpower to get out of that trap, then they probably weren't meant to do that thing?
01:12:32.000Perhaps, but sometimes they get a mortgage and then they get a family and then they're stuck.
01:14:22.000Banked on being a showrunner in the 90s, and that's what you threw your hat into, and then all of a sudden that.
01:14:30.000Thing seems to have dwindled to like 20% of what it used to be.
01:14:34.000It's, yeah, it's, uh, I used to be quite happy with the idea that I knew, you know, back in the day when you're pitching shows and stuff and trying to develop things and you go, this, uh, let's not waste our time going to these five places.
01:16:05.000We're going to have these amazing people.
01:16:08.000And Bob and I. As different cult leaders, and, um, I mean, and if that's such a rare thing when it starts off on the page funny, and by the time you get a great cast, and then you get on set and you're like, what if we do this?
01:16:26.000And then you get into the post and start playing around with it.
01:16:30.000I mean, it's just, it was a really cool thing.
01:16:34.000And yeah, marketing and analytics, that's what you're dealing with now.
01:16:38.000Well, I mean, that has kind of always at least been the case.
01:19:15.000So, Larry Sanders show, huge success, genius show.
01:19:18.000And so, they knew this guy was special and super smart guy, like funny, and had a great group of writers and put together a great pilot and then, you know, recast the one role that I came in for.
01:19:32.000And so, I'm there on this set, and it was like, you know, it took.
01:19:36.000Long hours to figure it out, but they let everybody do whatever they wanted to do.
01:19:41.000Like, Paul's approach was so different than anybody else.
01:19:44.000Like, Dave Foley was like the secret producer of like half of that show.
01:19:49.000Half of the way the scenes were put together, half of the jokes that were in it was all Dave Foley on set running through the script with the cast coming up with better ideas.
01:20:43.000But no, you're in hell because you're doing something that sucks and you have to show up every day doing this thing when you know you could have been on Seinfeld or if you just got cast on Friends.
01:21:09.000You know, you're getting, you know, you're in Studio City and you get in your car and you drive to this job and it's kind of shitty and sucks, but there's amenities, great craft services.
01:21:21.000This guy makes fucking Frappuccinos right there, you know, and then you go and have dinner with somebody fancy somewhere.
01:21:31.000And then you just get up and do the same thing over and over again.
01:21:33.000Yeah, and you keep buying things because that's how you reward yourself.
01:21:37.000You buy a new television, this one's even bigger.
01:22:20.000But it's also like gambling because it's like a scratch off ticket because everybody's chasing the one of one cards and you're opening the packs and stuff.
01:25:11.000Yeah, so he's the guy who did Eight Ball, and then he's got, he did Ghost World, turned into a movie, and then there was another one that was Wilson that was turned into a movie.
01:25:24.000His stuff is great, but he has a thing about art, you know, shitty teachers, art school teachers.
01:26:45.000Think of how many examples of that where kids' talent or dreams or aspirations are kind of crushed to the point of, like, it's not worth it.
01:28:46.000My dream was to be a comic book illustrator.
01:28:48.000So when I was a young kid, from the time I was like, God, like six or seven, when I lived in San Francisco, I would collect all these different comic books.
01:32:00.000The one, the, what is it called, situation on Main Street or something like that, where they, there's, it's so genius and ahead of its time, where there's a, you know, it's a suburban street and the lights go out or something goes out.
01:32:16.000And then eventually all the neighbors are at each other's throats accusing each other of this thing.
01:32:25.000And then the very, and they're all like, and then they start getting guns and at the very, and you're watching the whole thing unfold.
01:33:40.000I haven't seen it in a long time, but it's a.
01:33:45.000It's either really, really, really cold and there's this poor family in a.
01:33:52.000You know, New York City and they can't get heat, or it's really, really hot and they can't get cold, and they're dealing with people who are like, you know, in the family who are really sick.
01:34:03.000And then the twist was it's like, oh, it's really somebody who has a fever and they're not, it just wasn't that good.
01:34:43.000Like, they always joke around about, like, how the Simpsons have kind of covered so many premises because they've, you know, they've been around since, God, the Simpsons was when I was in fucking high school.
01:35:58.000And they basically create like this little kind of cage in this men's club.
01:36:02.000And he spends a month and he's not talking and he's And then it turns out the guy can't pay him.
01:36:11.000He didn't have the money to begin with to pay off the bet because the guy goes the full month or year or whatever.
01:36:18.000And it turns out that the guy who made that bet, who's not going to talk for a year, also desperately needed the money and had his tongue cut out.
01:40:09.000And we did, we, you know, we would show the videos or the little films to the audience.
01:40:16.000And so any laughs, there was never sweetening.
01:40:19.000Any of the laughs you hear from the audience, and we got it by the time we were like kind of towards the end of the second series, we got it down to we could shoot a show in 44 minutes, you know?
01:42:47.000I was, I was a goofball and I wanted to work and I wanted to, you know, I had all these ideas, but I was very much like, hey guys, it's five o'clock.
01:43:00.000I think the bar is going to be open in a minute.
01:43:02.000Like, I was, let's go, you know, and he was just super driven, you know, and we had long, long, long days.
01:43:10.000And then when we did the third season, we did produced and, you know, helped out in all aspects of production with Tenacious D and those shorts.
01:43:55.000And I've, Run other rooms like I've done shows since then, and a valuable lesson I learned when you're just kind of running a writer's room is when you're at that place, and it's exactly like you said diminishing returns, you're not getting any work done, your brain isn't foggy.
01:44:16.000I was very quick to go, All right, guys, let's go put your pens down, fold your computer up, we're gonna go walk around.
01:44:24.000We're just gonna go outside and walk around, let's go get a coffee, let's do anything.
01:46:04.000Yeah, like I was saying, when I was a kid, when I was driving limos, that's when I would come up with my best material because I was no radio.
01:46:09.000You can't listen to a radio because you have clients in the car.
01:46:11.000So you're just driving and just doing a thing and your mind just starts to wander and ideas come to you.
01:47:35.000The scene in The Color of Money with Tom Cruise, where Tom Cruise shows up at this pool hall and there's this local hotshot player and the guy's beating everybody.
01:47:45.000Tom Cruise is sitting there with a pool cute case and he's waiting to play this guy.
01:53:09.000But the Roblox thing became a thing at our school, and everybody at our all the parents were like super on top of that shit.
01:53:16.000And there's you know WhatsApp chains and all that stuff.
01:53:20.000And we told our daughter there's like this one game she was playing that had a chat thing, and then somebody who was a quote unquote girl who lived in I live on a farm in Ohio or whatever asking her stuff, and she's like, My name's Marlo, and going back and forth, and then.
01:53:45.000She asked the quote unquote girl, said, What is your Instagram login or something like that?
01:53:55.000And my daughter was eight at the time, and she was like, Oh, I don't think she didn't say that's none of your business, but it was something that was smart that was equivalent to I don't think you need to know that or something.
01:54:13.000And then told us, and we shut down the chat thing.
01:54:17.000You know, disabled the chat, and that's real, man.
01:54:24.000I'm very glad that my daughter, you know, because and it really was about the Roblox thing that everybody in our school, elementary school, was they talked about it.
01:54:43.000And so someone can pretend to be your friend and find out who you are, and then they can know where you are at all times if you have Snapchat enabled.
01:54:52.000God, the shit this generation is going to have to fucking deal with is just terrifying, man.
01:56:53.000Have you seen any of the like deep fake, not deep fake, but AI porn, where it's like somebody's like a newscaster is like, and in other news, my big juicy tits.0.99
01:57:12.000And I'm serious, and then pulls, and then a dick comes in.1.00
01:58:54.000They already can do a lot of really weird shit with those helmets where they can communicate without words, where you can think a thing and the other person knows exactly what you're saying.
01:59:04.000They can hear you and they can respond to it.
01:59:09.000So there's two people, they're sitting across from each other and they're having conversations with these headpieces on, and the person will think a thought.
01:59:16.000And this other person will hear that thought.
02:02:55.000And by the way, when they do war games with these things, 98% of the time it chooses nuclear weapons.
02:03:02.000They have a new version of it called Mythos.
02:03:05.000When they were testing it, which they're not letting it out yet, I think the test they put it through was like, all right, you're locked on the internet, find your way out.
02:05:56.000It scares out the zero point energy, being able to harness the energy of the universe itself, having no boundaries, material sciences all cracked, alloys we couldn't comprehend.
02:06:43.000You're going to be left out in the cold.
02:06:46.000The access to resources, the ability to generate income, like the people that get it are going to be able to control so much so quickly that if you don't adopt it early, you're going to be fucked.
02:06:57.000Like if you think we have haves and have nots now, just wait until the haves have artificial general superintelligence inside their fucking head.
02:07:21.000But it's also like we grew up with nothing.
02:07:25.000And we've, we've, we're like if the simulation is real, you and I are in a very interesting timeline because we grew up where there was, you just left the house and your parents didn't know where you were.
02:07:38.000And then there were answering machines.
02:09:39.000I mean, If the fucking Terminator show up, it's game over.
02:09:44.000If there's biological human beings with guns and bulletproof vests and the Terminator show up and they can't miss and they never get nervous and they're not worried about dying.
02:12:10.000They supposedly use ultra sensitive quantum magnetometers, but I'm trying to find the post where someone's like, that's not what they used.
02:12:55.000It's a nice bluff to pretend that we're that sophisticated, that much above and beyond everybody else that's out there, that we could find a very specific heart rate signature from 40 miles away.
02:13:30.000But I mean, if that's a robot dog and it's looking for you and you're hiding and it could find your individual signature in an apartment building filled with people, like, there he is, fifth floor.
02:14:02.000This is also a kind of similar thing where they have said that that's what happened, where they used robots, in quotes, to capture them unmanned.
02:14:11.000But it's their version of the story, too.
02:15:27.000Anytime you're involved with shooting missiles into towns and blowing things up, blowing up infrastructure, blowing up bridges, you know, and Israel's blowing up Lebanon now.
02:15:41.000It's like, what the fuck are we doing?
02:18:42.000And, It's to think of the stuff that we allow these external things that we allow to affect our life.
02:18:54.000Like, if there was ever a time to just be a good person, live your life, enjoy, try to spread some kindness and some joy, you know, I mean, it's now.
02:20:14.000And this way, because, you know, the first couple shows were terrible.
02:20:19.000I've got nothing, you know, it's just me apologizing for not having anything yet.
02:20:23.000But people will, I mean, I have people now who will come to the second show and the sixth show, and then they'll come see me on tour, you know, so you can see the process.
02:20:39.000I either walk or ride my bike to every single venue, and they start off small and then they get bigger, and I lose a guest.
02:20:47.000And then, you know, before you know it, I've got okay, I think this is roughly the 75 minutes I'm going to do, and then it's about sequencing, which is really important, you know.
02:20:58.000And then I take it out on the road, and so the idea is that I'll probably late fall start back again, and I love it.
02:21:44.000But if you told me I can't do stand up, I'd go crazy.
02:21:48.000Well, I went a little crazy during the pandemic because I almost, and I made this part of the bit, but I almost, the first show I did, I started tearing up.
02:22:01.000And I'm in front, I mean, I'm doing this, and it was at the Sultan Room in Bushwick.
02:22:06.000And I was like, man, I thought, God, I didn't know if I'd ever get to do this again.
02:22:14.000And shit, you know, I dreamed about this day.
02:22:17.000And it, It was a year and seven months where I.
02:22:20.000The longest since I've been doing this.
