Hello and welcome back to my pleasure. It's a podcast that is just for me and what is good for me,

which also means, though, it's good for you too. Like, what I'm telling you, it's actually the

ultimate expression of love and caring towards you because I'm giving you all the real, all the most intimate,

all the things I need to work on.

Like this podcast, the price of admission is just turning it on.

And then what you get is like you're in my club. That is really ultimately what's happening is this is a cult. I think I

am simultaneously both perfect to run a cult and also to be consumed into one, you know,

like a what's it called? Be absorbed into a cult, be taken advantage of by a cult.

I'm both of those things.

And today on this podcast, not today, but on this podcast, every time, I'm the cult leader, okay?

So if I was to have a cult, too many people are talking about cults.

I regret this whole cult rant that's going nowhere,

but I do still stand by that we're in this together. And it's so weird because I feel like

so much of my personality for so many years was just kind of like about being on my own and

eyes on your own paper and not needing others. And I still have those instincts. Like I think you

guys know this, but when I moved to L.A., I wanted to do improv, but I had no friends. So I had to do

stand-up. And I thought, I think when I moved here, I thought I would do all of the things, those things,

but I really was drawn to the concept of stand-up primarily because you didn't need to

depend on anyone else to do it. Now, that's an over-correction, ladies and gentlemen. That's

not good. Like, I love the power and control I have when I'm immersed in an activity that

only depends on myself, but that's so not healthy long term. And I'm really just in the spirit of,

like, if I'm not kind to you, I'm not kind to myself.
