He talks about grinding new material in New York, dating in entertainment, and how he somehow almost missed his wife… twice. From an awkward first attempt to meet her, to randomly running into her again, to carrying an engagement ring for over a year like a psycho before finally proposing. They get into their three-day wedding at a kids camp, raising a baby, skipping the night nurse, and the stories behind David’s tattoos. It’s bad timing, dumb luck, and a relationship that worked out anyway.
