And I will write them down and keep them.

And then as I start creating new sets and new things are happening, I may go, oh, I bet that would work with this.

storyboard it and yeah and then i'll bring it back and i'll put it you know i may put it in amongst a joke like there was a joke i i told about my dad on my working man special about him uh home videos and then i go oh i remember a home video that i had that a home video joke that i liked where i said uh well i don't even know if i remembered the joke but it was a short joke i was about my finding a home video that said christmas and court and uh and uh

And it's like, it was, you know, basically about one of my dad's divorces, but it was, I was like, this is a short joke that by itself- Is hilarious, dude.

But in amongst the home video joke, now it's even better.

Yeah.

But by itself, it was like just some kind of weird out of place joke.

A series of jokes that come together.

And then, so I just try to do that and try to keep the old jokes and maybe, you know, it's like, this idea is funny, but I don't know how to write it yet.

So in a couple of years, I'll be a better writer as long as I keep writing.

That's what I think is good about the modern day age of comedy is,

is that you have to keep churning out material so it keeps you writing.

Whereas back in the day, you could get an hour and just travel around the country doing your hour all the time, and you never necessarily get better.

You just get really good at doing that hour, but you've kind of forgot how to write jokes.

I feel like that can be hard, but I think if you're good, you can just move into the next joke without seeming like you're even doing jokes.

You just go on to the next thing and maybe that just seems like it just came to you.

Like I got some neighborhood jokes now and part of the neighbor, how I start the neighborhood joke is the jokes is a guy who,

coming to my backyard and being shocked that it wasn't more trailer park-like.

So I go, I used to live in a trailer park, but in order to get into that, I tell some kind of gross joke about myself where I don't have good manners.

And then when that joke's over, I say, I grew up in a trailer park.
