01:37about them afterwards both my dad and my mom and and being the youngest my
01:41sisters are here both my sisters and being the youngest and being not even
01:45double digits but them wanting to see Saturday Night Fever or Animal House and
01:49so my age was not a barrier to your to your want to see that movie and the
01:55laughs that I experienced in the theater I felt like I really wanted to be a part
01:58of that that I could do that and maybe make people laugh and and give families
02:03a good night to discuss stuff and have joy so for me really that was what this
02:08journey had always been about my beautiful wife Kyla so glad that you're

02:58was I was raised and born in the Midwest but I feel like I grew up here in
03:02California that this is where I came of age and that at its best I think Los
03:09Angeles for me and walking the streets I used to live on Rossmore down here was
03:13an inspiration that things were possible and so I think at its best Hollywood at
03:18its best has always been a city of dreams and stories and imagination and I
03:25hope that that may long continue god bless you and thank you so much
