Are you done with? Are you done with them? Oh, yeah, yeah, dude, I that's another 40 story. I've never told it's like a two minute story. So I met New Wave. I was in the the the the department. I wanted to be in the development department for whatever reason they weren't having me. I was like, hey, I went from the mail room to the development department. This is about three, four, four, four.

Three years ago. And they were just like, yeah, whatever. I'm a comedian. I would have been a great fit. Maybe the universe didn't think so. But so I ended up in there. All very nice people by end up in the the bonus feature where they would put do bonus feature and trailers for movies. And it was cool. But it was like, it wasn't that cool. But it was like, all right, it was cool. It was interesting. And so I worked there and did like associate producer work. But it was just mostly just logging footage. And the guy crossed from me was gone for two weeks. Yeah. And he came back. And my eyes started.

And I got these red dots on my eye. And I'm like, what the fuck is this on my face? And he just whispers over to me and he goes, it shingles. Get out of here. I'm like, how do you know? And then he just went back quietly. He was computer. And I was like, mother fuckers. He gave you shingles. He gave me shingles. So then. So then I go. And I'm like, hey, I got these dots. And and the okay, what I forgot to say is three days before they fired me to go Steve. We're letting you go in a week. And I said, oh, it's good. And they go. We're letting you go in a week. Right. I had great insurance. I didn't get paid that much from New Wave. I had great insurance. So I was like, I'm going to get a new one. I'm going to get a new one. I'm going to get a new one. I'm going
