The Joe Rogan Experience because I have a 19 year old daughter and um she's amazing and she is not like if if if I brought up the idea of her pursuing a career based on Financial Security she would be offended and I and I say that with a little bit of a joke because I also remember like the comedians people that go into comedy are not like you know we didn't know it was going to be this type of business we went into it because it was uh you know creatively fulfilling to get on stage and make strangers laugh and but like there is something at least for me having five kids it's like I really didn't care about money uh you know in my 30s I remember my parents died and people were pick you know like we all my siblings came around we were getting stuff and I was like I'll take the immigration papers you guys can have the rest and so like I was the youngest but like the point I'm getting to as you get older once you get a taste for Comfort it's you know because I've tried to articulate to my children you know money is about Freedom you know it's like the freedom to like afford to go on a date you know the the freedom of Independence like I don't have to ask mom and dad for my help for help and so but there is a a you know the perspective that changes I'm not saying all people but like when you're 20 all right do I have enough money to get beer you know what I mean as opposed to like when you're 40 you're like all right I might need knee replacement surgery do you know what I'm saying yeah and like there is some you know comforts you like Comforts right you don't want to struggle right and you don't want to be scared as to where your next paycheck's coming from yeah I mean I I fly you know commercial and I fly uh you know business class and it's amazing and I don't you know like if I have a gig and they're like you know I'd you know I would have to uh fly and Coach I don't know if I want to do it like I'm kind of a you know it's like is it worth being really uncomfortable for a bunch of hours like I have like I live in New
York and I work at UH um the win has wins a great casino right and they have this theater and it's a great thing and so there used to be all these direct flights from New York that I mean there's tons but there were some live flat things and they were like live flat yeah so like were you you know it's like the seat turns into a bed oh lie flat and so from New York it's like a five hour flight and so they essentially started getting rid of those things and if I want to perform in Vegas anymore I got I got flat I'll do that anyway I'm just trying to impress everyone with my uh my toughness my mental grit baby can't a baby can't be uncomfortable for a couple hours you can definitely get used to comfort yeah yeah but it's probably not good for kids to grow up that comfortable no it's interesting you know it's like we all everyone that I know that's interesting had a pretty shitty childhood and rough and difficult and a lot of problems and but none of those people want that for their children even though it made them the most interesting people that I know because they got through some hard times and difficult childhoods and struggle and they developed discipline and character and you know the ability to overcome adversity I mean it is if parenting is terrifying it is it's terrifying it's a complicated world because you know you're gonna suck at it but it's like how much damage can you do yeah yeah and how much damage does the world do yeah yeah it's not just you it's like what are your children getting exposed to at school what are your children get exposed to on the streets yeah because when they they reach a certain age where like you can hear them actively not listening to and you're like oh I hope your peer group is communicating some of this stuff because I've said it six times and you're obviously not hearing it you know I mean yeah it's really and it's when you know when you have young kids you think oh because I think our society we kind of portray you know babies Oh I couldn't sleep last night my baby was crying I had to change poopy diapers and that's the easy part that's the easy yeah that's just lack of
sleep yeah but like when it's Saturday night and they're out and you're like what where are they right going to parties it's terrifying yeah and who knows what's happening at these parties
