Everything runs its course. We had told a lot of stories that happened in our life. My kid was getting older, and we were running out of stories to tell.

Meaning of the quote

As we grow older, we experience many events and create stories to share. But over time, those stories start to run out as our lives continue moving forward. Like the comedian Howie Mandel said, everything in life has its own natural path or "course." As our children get older, we may find ourselves with fewer new stories to tell them, since so much of our lives has already been lived.

It’s really not that hard. If I do a Tonight Show, it’s six or seven minutes. If I do a concert, it’s 90 minutes. If I do an interview, that’s 15 minutes. So by the end of the day I’ve done three hours worth of work.
