i remember the first time when i i was like when i first moved to new york
because i was living on
my own and then i had to move back home to finish college and i just forgot
what it was like and i
moved to new york i was like 27 years old and i remember that first night
hanging down at the
comic strip and lucian being like i already have enough white guys i don't know
who you are
fuck you and your dream um i remember sitting there thinking like like wow i i
can go to home
whenever i want i can come home in any state that i want i can bring some chick
home all of this
fucking shit it was just like wow this is crazy and that's like kids are gonna
want that at some
point so i'm just trying i just hope my uh you know my big thing is i i want to
be as a dad i want
to be approachable and i and i want even though i know i'm going to make
mistakes i just really want
to be communicating with my kid and and really say hey i'm sorry like i shouldn't
have done that you
were right you're right i'm going to work on that because it's to to constantly
have that sort of open
communication closure my kid's not afraid of me respects me but it's not afraid
of me um
i think is where a lot of my anger came from was just growing up and and it was
just like you know
sit down and shut the up every adult was that yeah this is the class this is
how we're teaching it
what about sit down shut the up yeah yeah but go out of the office everything
was just like
into the office shut the up and without the whole thing was shut the up you
used to get like i remember
in middle school being sent to the office and they would they would you would
get paddled
uh my mother did that but uh no not at school but i i remember there was a guy
fucking i got detention
yeah i'm trying to do this so this piece of shit doesn't get in trouble because
he is a piece of
shit but i still i just just i'm brought up i don't want to fucking round
anybody out yeah there was a
guy and he had he was a teacher and he fucking it was after school and he had
another commitment
so he locked me in his office with the light out and there was no windows it
was a windowless
room and i was just in there while he handled what he had to handle and he came
back like
fucking two hours later and i'm such an idiot i should have walked out and said
all right i'm
getting an a no an a plus is what i'm getting because you just locked me in
there for two hours
if there was a fight you just put my life in jeopardy we will sue this school
and blah blah
if i was like fucking like i never even how old were you at the time uh 23 no
23 my freshman year of college um i i forget i was i was i was a teenager i was
definitely a teenager
and it was like uh and you know when other kids knew that he did it and stuff
and they all gave
me it was you know it was kind of funny kind of humiliating like a lot of back
then
but like there was just a lot of uh yeah they like that that's sort of still
hitting kids was
midwest in the south they had take they'd gotten rid of that on the east when
we live near oceans we're
just naturally smarter breathing that salt air i don't know what it is you guys
you believe what
you want yeah with with with europe with your fresh water fresh water yeah boston
there's no violence in
new england oh not at all yeah no that's that's that's where people don't fight
um but um you know
i sometimes think you know here and you hearing you talk about being a dad and
it's such a great
observation about your daughter like she hasn't met you in your special and
stuff like that no i'm
terrified to show her who i am but some of it is and i feel you know my dad was
uh you know you know
very much a character uh but uh i love that word but it was quite the character
that's the best way
that's the best way he was quite a character but i sometimes think and i've
done work on myself and
you know been in therapy and discussed stuff and i sometimes think it's like
how much of it and i
don't know your your story only from your act but like the mythology because
every now and then i'll
get an email like i did this cbs sunday piece and somebody who was friends with
my parents sent an
email and or like i'll run into someone they're like your dad was so nice to me
and i'm like i don't
remember him being nice to me but like and some of it is because we are
creative people like for me i'm
just talking about me like did i create this thing and i also you know i have a
13 year old son and it's like
he you know his attitude is generally like these people are just ruining my
life you know like the
parents uh and so it's like how much of that like i look at him and i'm like
did i create this because
my dad was definitely a hard ass and uh i would say both the happened some of
it and then also you had a
the thing that parents didn't understand back then and maybe a lot of them don't
understand is you have to
understand when you have a kid that you are their world so if if you're
flipping out it's like armageddon
emotionally to them yeah especially when they're super young they can't like
process you they don't
know how to break down somebody going like oh this guy is like my daughter
would never be able to look
at me and her age oh he's frustrated because he's in the entertainment industry
yeah yeah because yeah
he's frustrated because he doesn't get acknowledged for his creativity and no
more like he's this is
just some leftover childhood stuff because he wasn't listened to so he
automatically thinks he's not
going to be listened to so he starts flipping out over things that don't matter
they know all they hear is
yelling and it can do it it can literally cause like physical ailments like
stomach issues like you
know i had like alopecia for a while like uh just because i would just let
stress build up in me and
there was no way to communicate it when i was a kid and it would just fucking
like you know it's it's
horrible what when when kids grow up in like and this is the thing now now that
i'm this age and now i
have a i'm not shitting on my parents my parents were great it's just the time
i'm just talking over all the
time that i grew up in yeah it was just like bullying was wide open just
everything was
fucking wide open you didn't know what the fuck was going to happen and there
was none of this like
you know bully beat down shows some martial artist comes in and kicks the fuck
out of the kid taking
you you're fucking i don't know your desserts at it at high school it was just
like a real
um and i and i also think part of it was my fault the way i was wired where
there was so much
shit that seemed like a mountain in my life and it wasn't it was just stepping
up on a curb
but i but the way i viewed it it was it was impossible to get over or get
around and it's like
i feel like my kid's gonna have get enough of that from other kids at school
that i want her to
come home and and feel like uh like i that she can chill and that like if she
and if she has like
an issue with me or an issue with something i'm doing that she can like i feel
like if i can do that
if i can push the rock that far up the fucking hill in my family tree that i i
will uh hopefully
achieve but like uh she's at a really cool age and i just can't wait for her to
get to an age
where she can understand what i'm saying as far as how much i love her
