I can't complain, and I wouldn't even try to find a reason to at this point.
The self-awareness, I think, is so key, especially in that world.
Some interview I watched you on where you said, I think Kevin Costner told you,
like, when you take a big bite out of the universe, the universe bites back.
Yeah, big time.
Like, you're riding high right now, kid, but, like, be ready.
And I think that even just knowing that or accepting that is, like, a big step
towards being able to move on.
Conan just had, like, one of his, like, New York Times interviews or something
like that,
where he was just, like, I think his quote was, like, why he stopped caring
about opinions and stuff like that
was his quote was, every grave goes unvisited or something like that.
Like, eventually no one goes to your grave anymore.
Right.
Eventually you fade.
Eventually there were nobody.
I accremated that.
Yeah, accremated.
Yeah, I mean, the awareness, though, I know, you know, not going to rehash
something you've talked about a million times,
but you going on that show with Louis to handle that the way you did is, like,
the only way to do that.
Like, the fact that you sat down, you did his script, you did it in a way that
I thought you both kind of looked good,
but obviously you had to take some lumps there.
I thought that was, like, very admirable.
Yeah, yeah.
That was, like, one of those things that when it was positioned, I just felt
like, you know what,
I'm ready to put this in the rearview mirror.
And when he called and said, let's, you know, break bread and figure out how to
do it, I was totally game.
The funny thing is the internet doesn't forget, and the internet thinks that
everything that they read just happened.
Little do they know, it's like I'm having spa days with people that you think
that I was fighting with, you know, eight years ago.
So it's just, it's all flotsam jetsam, man.
You know, anybody who's believing most of that stuff without hearing it from
the source, it's, you almost kind of feel bad for them a little bit.
Well, yeah, I mean, I, that would piss me off if I were you, because even...
It doesn't, though.
Here's why, because comics fight all the time.
Yeah, it's very catty.
What happened with Louie and I was like literally something that happens almost
every night at a club between two comics.
Right.
It's territorial pissings, and everybody's, it's parallel thinking.
A lot of people do have similar concepts, ideas.
So everyone's hashing out at some point.
Dude, I do a bit about, you know, bottled water.
And I just heard your line about it.
And then you have to figure out on shows, oh, I'm doing my bottled water bit
tonight.
That means that you can't, because I'm on B4.
It happens all the time.
It was unfortunate that him and I just had to air it out on the wall of the
internet.
I think the internet almost makes it, like, harder for all those things.
Like, people will be like, oh, you stole that tweet from this person.
Oh, yeah, the tweet stealing is crazy.
It's like, dude, I don't follow the entire internet.
I don't know that he said that one thing.
It's kind of interesting, as people have found their own celebrity, how many of
them will then call me or will see each other at a club, and they go, man, now
I get it.
I was one of the people, too, looking at you going like, wow, man, that sucks.
How did he get this?
People understand that success, here's what success gives you, right?
When you reach that high tier, it opens you up to all the people that hate you.
And that's what it is.
And you have to remember, success, it's a narrow lane.
You find your lane, you find your fans, and you can't be trying to meet anybody
else outside of that.
If people want to venture to what you're doing, that's why, listen, at the end
of the day, I say to whoever is interested in doing comedy, the one thing that
got me from, you know, gigs in the middle of nowhere in front of five people to
gigs in front of 20,000 or 30,000 people, the only, there's one word that
defines all of it.
My whole career, what has been, and it's what to come.
And that's funny.
If I wasn't funny, we wouldn't be sitting here.
Nobody would be showing, or certainly they wouldn't come back.
