You're telling me about your brothers.
Your two older brothers who you couldn't get a word in edgewise.
No.
They had nicknames for you?
Nitro, ugly.
What's nitro?
Nitro is just because I was so hyper.
I was like nitroglycerin.
Nitro was the most consistent one and that still pops up in my adult life.
Nitro.
Yeah.
They were very instrumental into making me not as annoying as I would naturally be.
How did they do that?
Every time I tell a story, here's an idea.
Have a point and get to it quicker.
Planes, trains, and automobiles was just constant and they would just, you know,
anytime I was crying because somebody was mean to me, they were like,
they were probably mean because you were a jerk.
Like what did you do?
It was never like, oh.
They were very good at getting me to look in at myself
and seeing everything that's wrong with me.
Which is helpful.
Older siblings are good for that.
They're very good for that.
Still to this day, they're very good at that.
Why do you think anybody cares?
And I'm like, oh right, nobody does care.
You only talk about yourself.
Oh my God, he's totally right.
I just got off a press tour and I've been talking about myself for months
and now I'm talking about myself too much?
You know, I don't know where I'd be without my brothers.
I would be the worst.
But don't tell them that.
No.
Yeah, don't.
Shh.
