And I wasn't 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.200 even ready to really go in and they're. 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:17.560 Like, yeah, come in. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.320 And I went in and there like, okay, go and 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.040 I almost said a load to him, and I was 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:21.560 so nervous. 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:23.400 I don't know if you remember this. I was so nervous. 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:24.920 You introduced me and I clapped for. 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.239 Myself and I went, yeah, you know, and he called 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.400 me out on television and he goes, you don't. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:31.320 Clap for yourself. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.280 Well it was a little unusual. 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.600 Yeah, for sure, I am a little bit. 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.320 But you're a comedian, so except for yourself, I. 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.040 Get away with some stuff. I'm sure, Michael. 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.920 Have you been to a lot of comedy shows there? 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.240 I mean here in the city, there's so many. Who's 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:48.600 somebody you you appreciate life. 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.760 I appreciate all comedians. I mean I've gone to see 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:57.560 from Chris Rock to Chris Tucker to Jerry Seinfel, Amy Schumer. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:03.920 I mean I went to see Day Chappelle, Jeffrey ross Man, 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.880 like all the heavy you know, and so. But I 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.560 appreciate comedians because I understand it's so hard to stand 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.639 in front of a room with a group of people 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.280 you don't know, you may never see again. I don't 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.760 know what their day is like. You don't know what 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.560 they're day like you don't know what mood they come 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:22.840 in there in and you have to entertain them. I 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.720 kind of change the vibe of the whole room just 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.600 by your words and by your man rhythm that's mannorhythms. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.919 That's like amazing to me. Like sports, you go out 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.880 there and you hit somebody, it's the greatest. Yeah, look 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:38.080 at her. You take their aggressing out through you. But 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.880 in comedy, that is I don't have that like that 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:42.720 that nerve. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.040 I think we're like instantaneous, right, It's it's instantly occurring, 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.960 but you're you know, being on like GMA for example, 0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.320 like you're coming off and they're watching metrics instantly, I'm sure, 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.440 and seeing dials go up and down. So that's got 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.760 to be equally nerve, if not more, because we're doing 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.600 it in front of a crowd of you know, hundreds 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.240 of thousands, but you're millions. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.440 Yeah. I don't even think a daily basis. I think 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.040 if you think about how many people are watching, it 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.120 screws me up. Like There'll be some time in the 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.480 middle of reading something and then I'll think, oh my god, 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:14.440 there are millions. 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.560 All of a sudden, I forget how to read. Yeah, 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:25.719 in the latest presidential debate. 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.720 So but yeah, I know I can't think about it 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.640 and I can't pay attention to it. I can't look 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.840 at social media comments like I used to sit there 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.200 on the show and then and when I'm not reading 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:39.919 a story looking at you know, Twitter or Twitter at 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.359 the time of X Man, and it could mess you 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.240 up for sure. So now I don't pay attention in 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.960 any of It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:51.680 and it's I always just do my best and let 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:55.720 that be it. And I've I learned football caring about 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.400 the opinion of people who can't do what you do. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.320 Sometimes it's like, why am in my word about the 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.280 opinion's one who couldn't put on a pad? Like the 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.120 mom took your trigger treating that the last time you 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:05.760 had a uniform on? 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:06.160 Right? 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:11.599 You my feelings about how I feel about my. 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.000 My mother had like the greatest saying, and I always 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.080 stuck with me. It was don't take criticism. Don't take 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.240 criticism from people you wouldn't go do advice for. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.320 Yeah, so like that, I think that's huge. 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:25.000 My mom three words, you not funny, stuck with me. 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.320 Forever, stuck me, you stay true to her words. 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.440 So I love that I can't clamp for myself. I 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.680 cannot claim I can't. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.440 You're not funny, that's great. 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.360 Yeah, I want to ask you, Michael, I just did 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.360 you ever see this career trajectory that's crazy? The way 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.400 from being under the limelight here in New York. I 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.360 think that's probably where you get that last. You know, 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.440 if you can't put on the pads here in New York, 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.440 the glare, it cripples so many people that have come 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:57.400 over here and then to go to make the transition 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.640 from that to where you are now. I mean, did 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:05.080 you ever first thinking absolutely, you know, amazingly enough? 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.040 And people might some people might disagree, But I'm actually 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.320 a shy person, you know, I really am.

I was nine 0:10:11.800 --> 0:10:15.880 years old. And Germany was great growing up because we 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:17.960 moved there. I've lived on a military base the first 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.640 three years of it, and then after that my dad 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.960 retired and then we moved off base, so we moved 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:26.839 in lived in the community for fifteen years after that, 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.640 So we went over there. I was nine and by 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:32.400 the time my parents moved back to the States, I 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:33.319 was twenty. 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:33.680 Eight years old. 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.360 Really yeah, wow, So I. 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:36.800 Was in the league and lived in New York for 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.760 seven years at that point. Wow. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:40.920 But yeah, So it was it was an interesting way 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:41.560 to grow up. 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.880 It taught me that you have to respect people for 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.960 people and customs of different countries and like a different 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.960 respect of respect for everybody, and you're not always the ball. 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:52.880 So I mean as the Americans, I think sometimes I 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.440 think we run, we don't. You got to hear the 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.360 other rules and other people, and it taught me that 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.680 you get along with everybody when you're on a military base. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.680 And the matter what race you are, I'm much sure 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.720 you come from money, and nothing matters.
