You don't get a number one song by having a good song.

You get a number one song by sucking every dick in fucking radio land.

But it's like, and at some point you wake up and you're just like, I don't want to suck

dick anymore.

When you were poor, were you as cool?

I don't know.

I mean, I feel like I've gotten cooler when I made money.

I feel like I'm glad.

I'm still with my wife.

But it would have been cool to run it when I first started getting famous and just like her being in a coma or something.

And just be like, but I've gotten cooler than more than when I got money.

But you're like one of the cooler dudes. Thank you. Thank you. I just love the tension to detail. Like I go down rabbit holes on things. Like people that make things, people like, anything, it doesn't matter what it is. Like a hat or a knife or a belt. And like some things are like really sentimental.

Like I still have my Abercrimey Fitch belt I got when I was in high school. I still wear it. I've had to punch a bunch of extra holes in it. But, you know, things like that as a man, like your pocket knife that you carry, your belt, your wallet. Like those are things that are like you kind of attached to. So I'm always looking down a rabbit hole of like seeing who makes what and all my travel.

Like who's putting a lot of thought into those things and how they make them.

And I like to make things as well.

But it's that's definitely part of the fun of traveling.

You know, the school of travel has been the greatest school that I ever had.

I got paralyzed by what I was wearing on stage, especially for specials.
