My dad was big and scary. My best, I've had a series, all my best friends have

died since I was 14. I've had some heavy stuff, but I think a part of it is being able to be a comedian.

I think having that cathartic experience makes me feel less alone.

It was definitely even though if I'm not speaking about something specifically

I'm still getting it out. I just saw that things were funny very early and the more I got the more I observed and the

more I went through life I just

I just realized that it's all pretty hilarious and

even the things that were really painful

those two can go through that lens and I just I it just formed as a way of living

it just seemed like I'm not going to let the heaviness of all of this drag me down.

I'm going to enjoy this as much as possible.

And I was also, had just a sensitivity that an artist has where you're kind of you see it all from people who went through horrible, horrible things, right?

And it was just put into our heads over and over again.

Yes, but move forward.

Yes, this is tragic, but go. We just had all this perspective of whatever suffering was,

but your grandmother would say, yeah, but okay, now come sit down and let's sit and talk and I'm so lucky to have you here.

When that's put into your head over and over again, this is a blessing, keep going, be positive,

just enjoy your life.

Yes, there's tragedy, but just keep going. Then when things popped up, you were kind of, that was your toolbox. When someone dies and it takes you out, you know, it's not like zippity do-dah and I'm it's just but you'll get back to it's

at least you know that that's where you should be headed it's easy to know that that's where you should be headed it's easy to be

hopeful and things are nice when things are dark that's when it's most valuable

and most difficult.
