And then when you're watching it on a screen, it's different.

Like we're built for the live show.

Yes.

The special is just like, hey, I'm done with this stuff.

You can see it.

It's not the same as someone who's on their phone, on their couch, doing fucking dishes, listening to a story.

You know that it's like what is what is your job?

And I decided my job is the live show.

And I enjoy that more.

Like, I'll take questions during check drop.

And people are like, is this going to be a special?

And I'm like, I'm performing for you live right now.

Like, this is the special thing.

I think your stuff translates very well, though.

It works well for clips, but people can like tune out especially for the same kind of rhythm like I'm just like that's okay To not enjoy the special as much as the live show like with a live audience The energy is crazy when you just go joke joke joke that I'm okay with people being like the special gets boring like didn't get bored You know, everything is fucking boring if you sit there and watch, you know, whatever on on on TV all day

Yes, I have one that I found a way to cram it in.

I had this joke that I wrote down in my book late at night, and I just started crying laughing.

I was like, this is so funny to me.

And a lot of times that's a red flag.

When I'm like, I think this is too funny, and then I went to Largo and tried it out, and the audience was just like, no.
