My stepfather was a computer programmer initially and then he wanted to become an architect. So he went to school in San Francisco and then University of Florida in Gainesville and then Boston Architectural Center. So we moved to Boston when I was 13. So that was what it was. It was him becoming an architect.

Yeah, well, I was on another show before news radio called Hardball. It was a sitcom that was on Fox. That's what I actually moved out to LA for.

So I stayed in LA just because I had a lease. That was it.

Well, he stopped doing stand-up for a long time and he was selling aluminum siding. And then he made it again when he was much older in life. He came back and the thing that happened was from the time he stopped doing stand-up to when he went back to having a regular job, he never stopped writing jokes. Like his brain just worked that way. So he was just always writing jokes. So when he came back. He was sitting on a treasure truck. Yeah. Wow. Yes. And he just fucking stormed the gates. When he came back, everybody's like, where's this guy been? That's amazing. Yeah. Wow. And then he became huge. Back to school and the Ronnie Dangerfield HBO comedy specials. That's epic. Oh, he's one of the all-time. So he came back doing stand-up. I think he was in his 40s. Got some heat again. And that activated the films. Yeah, well, the stand-up, he didn't have any heat before, but when he quit, you know, he was just kind of like getting by and doing all right and got a job, quit. Wow. I think he might have quit for 10 years. Wow. Yeah. And then the whole time he's writing. And then he's like, fuck it, I got to do this. And then got back into comedy. Wow. I hope I'm not fucking that story up, but I think I'm accurate with that. See if you can find it. Make sure that's true. I'm 90% sure that's true. But I know that he didn't make it until he was in his 40s.

How does that happen 11 years later? Yeah. Yeah. Or 10. Yeah. Yeah. Because I did platoon at 20.

I've been active 34. When I was 17, 18, I mean, I worked for Pat Buchanan's campaign twice. And I would just go out, counsel other events, hand out Pat Buchanan stuff, go to a Republican company.

So Alex was a gym membership salesperson prior to, so that's what he was up to.

I still have a license, but I retired from active practice in 2013.

It was back in 1998, 99. That's why I worked for Constantine Paul's office.

You were a huge part of why I left Hollywood. I was listening to Infowars all the time. And I left and I went and I volunteered in 2016 in Nevada, which, by the way, Nevada is a huge battleground for us right now. Nevada is where everything's happening. And I ended up leaving Hollywood completely and joining the Trump administration, working at the State Department.

Okay, well I started out, actually I was working in Hollywood for 20 years and I reached a glass ceiling.

I was thinking about this maybe the other night. About how I left my job working at a coffee distribution. It was a huge gamble and a stupid risk that I wouldn't advise anybody to do in any circumstance. But we did that, and it ended up leading to where we are now.

So I moved to LA in 2011 and started doing extra work in like hundreds of movies and TV shows. And finally I got my SAG card. I joined the Screen Actors Guild, and it cost like $3,000 to join, but I joined the Screen Actors Guild, so I'm a paid-up.

And then I performed on live TV on America's Got Talent. I performed on Guinness World Records Gone Wild.

Turns out he wasn't that good. What do you mean? He failed.
