“When was the last time you read The Wall Street Journal? And I said, well, honestly, this has been a pretty crazy time for me. I'm like 22. I don't have a job. There's nothing going on. She's like, I can't believe you're going to Goldman Sachs and having a meeting and you haven't read the Wall Street Journal. I was like, well, like I said, things with me, my girlfriend are crazy.

“They're hilarious. That meeting was unbelievable because I put on my uncle's, I didn't have a suit, I put on my uncle's tweed suit in the middle of August and I went down there to Wall Street and I sat and talked to this VP and I literally didn't know what fixed income was.

“Growing up in Connecticut, I loved watching television, but I never thought about. Who wrote that stuff? Who was filming that stuff? What was that business like? And so when I was a senior in high school, there was a guy who just had graduated from college and he came back and he taught for a year at my school and we ended up doing, we did a little radio station, nothing like this recording studio. And we did a little show there with another teacher. And these guys were hilarious. And it was sitting around like this and just making each other laugh.
