Me and Mike started comedy in New York together forever ago. Right. We've been great friends for 15 years like that. You know, lost touch for a little bit because he lost his hearing for two of those years.

And I was trying to get someone older than Brian couldn't do it. But I'm close. I'm trying to Brian bone. And we started in New York together. Good times a lot of years.

And then you moved to LA. Yeah, we remain close. I came out and stayed with you in Carson for a couple. I was in LA a little bit. I walked in on him meditating once. Yeah.

And then I was like, I'm going to do that in this room. Yeah. He said, don't do it. It's not loud in this house. Yeah. Is a God fearing house. We're doing it. Some kind of voodoo. Yeah. And we don't appreciate it. It's my wife outside outside.

Yeah. And then remember when I was trying to park. And I had to like, I had to back out and do it again. You. Does it ever just work out?

I'm like, Nate, I want to equidistantly part. But does it ever just work out? Yeah. What I'm saying, it's not easy to be Nate's friend. Yeah. All these.

A lot of jokes. Right. You said this week and you told me you can't ever just leave. I always end with I always say one thing like right before you leave.

That's it. It's always, it's showmanship. Showmanship is always make a joke. And I do it. It's just one on one or it's a room full people. And I was going to have a strong closer. Always got to get out. I got closer strong. It's just me here. But it closes strong. Yeah. You know, I think about. Look, I have a whole theory about it.

That I think you will make everybody's day. If even if you're say you're talking to an employee that you don't know it, you know, bed bath and body works. That's something that is that one. It's a combination. It's bed bath and beyond. And then bath and body.

Well, if you're at bed bath and body works. It's a new story that just got started. And there's a in your asking for something. And then you just make a little joke. Like we wait me in.

Graham K. We were on the road this weekend. We had to go to. I got I was going to that we had to go to Apple. So we go in there and Graham's asking this person all these questions. And Ron, I was like, I'm sorry about him asking that. She's like, Oh, it's okay. I got none of them. I'm going to talk to him about it. And she laughed. And that was it. She walked away. And then the next person she talked to. She was like, good mood for a second. It's like, if you do that and send it, then maybe that guy does it.

It happens when they don't get it. And they go, it's the opposite. They do this weird. Oh, can you please take him off my hands? I'm going to go lunch. Yeah. It's a big multiple hanging out there. If it doesn't work out. And it doesn't sometimes sometimes you do it. And the people are like, what? And you're like, all right. I gave it a go. But I tried.

You know, in their days more than those people, their day, they spiral out. And they're, you know, I just watch from you. Everybody the rest of the day. So it can go two weeks.
