That's like that's why I leave the house every day is hoping, just hoping that someone will make me laugh or laugh at my jokes.

And are you pretty good at that?

You know, I would say that there are many people I've met who would say I'm very bad at that.

But some people think I'm really good at it.

So, you know, you only need a few.

And also, this is one of those things where sometimes if you try too hard, you come across as a little sweaty and constantly making jokes.

You can never have a serious conversation.

People don't like that either.

You have to be able to...

Do it when it's appropriate, but also turn it off.

Yeah, there's certainly a really big split between people who think like body humor or potty humor is funny or not.

There tends to be like a bright line between those two kinds of people.

I will say that I think that sense of humor is universal, but what you find funny is extremely personal and varies person to person.

So what I mean by sense of humor is

the ability to see the absurd in the world, to notice and find strange and delightful things around you, the ability to laugh at yourself, and the desire to connect with other people and to put yourself out there to take a social risk.

I think those are the building blocks of an actual sense of humor.

What you find funny, what those things that you find delightful and absurd and laugh inducing that changes person to person.

So that is extremely personal.

But I'm a really big believer that a sense of humor is a mindset and a mental muscle that you can strengthen and grow and make stronger.

I think I've seen over the course of my career, both as a comedian watching other comedians start out and get funnier and funnier and funnier.
