Hey. Good to be here. My name is Gus Horn. I'm 32 years old. I live in Atlanta, Georgia these days. I don't know if you can tell from my accent, but I am fat. I've been trying to work, and I've been going to the gym. I got a trainer at the gym. Got so happy losing weight. You know, the trainer's like, Gus, what are your goals at the gym? Do you want to bulk or do you want to cut?

I was like, dude, just want to see my dick again, man. That's... Without a mirror, that's... I started losing weight recently and people ask, I want to ask you, how much weight do you want to lose? What's your goal weight? And I never knew how to answer that because I haven't been small since I was small. So I don't know.

But recently I figured out my goal weight is I want to lose enough weight so that I can go skydiving. I don't know if you guys know there's a weight limit for skydiving and I am too fat for gravity apparently. So that's my goal. I want to go skydiving twice actually. Anybody can go once. There's no... No requirement if it's a one-time thing, you know? Thank you. Gus Horn.

Well, I started comedy when I was about to finish my master's about eight years ago. And then I figured if I had spent all that money and time studying, I would do that for a little while while I did comedy. And then last job I had, I was able to save a little bit of money. So I've been trying to do it full time the last year and a half. Where do you do it at?
