I think I'm a good dad. I felt like the universe was testing me leading up to being a father.

I kept having run-ins with other people's children, which is always awkward. Last year I was in a hotel, like a really nice hotel, like a high-rise hotel. And I got on an elevator, and it was me and a dad and his little boy, who was probably two or three. And then the doors closed. We were going down. We stopped at a floor. The doors opened. nobody got off or on, then the door's closed.

And so I said, hey, must have been a ghost.

Classic elevator humor. That's not my joke. I didn't write that. That's just an old elevator gag.

You guys didn't really laugh. They did not laugh at all. The kid started crying immediately.

I was like, hey, it must have been a ghost.

The kid was like, what?

And I felt bad for the kid, but then the dad goes, hey, come on.

And I was like, pal, your kid is a little bitch.

I'm sorry, this is not my fault.

You're raising a dork who's afraid of ghost.

It was a joke.

On this episode of the commercial break.

So I've, my wife and I in our old apartment, we live in a nicer place now.

We haven't had a mouse yet.

But our old apartment, we would get like an annual mouse visit. We'd have a single mouse once every 18 months or something. And the way we got it, the first time, I caught one in a humane trap, which is like the tube with the holes. And then you go and let it out. But I did not realize you have to go a mile from your house. Yes. So I just went outside and let him go and he just shot directly back into my house. Like he was home before I was. And it was raining out that night. So it felt like Shawshank Redemption. Like I just gave him a shower. I guess we just rinsed him off.

And so then it took me a while to find him again, and I took him, I finally went a mile and released him really close to a friend of mine's apartment.

And they're like, maybe he can live there.
