I was believing that “No, this can work’. Even in my last stand-up comedy, I had to go on stage and I did another routine ‘My Guys. How is my guy? This is my guy. If you see this guy, tell him he’s my guy. And the following morning, everywhere exploded again. We are not friends. We are not that. We are not this.
So, for me now, I’m not pushing anything anymore. As I’m here now as AY if I have to go to my grave without sitting with any of these guys to sell ‘hello, ‘hi’, I will be happy”.
