And I'm doing it more because it's like, well, I'm going to post this joke so I can get better, have another one.

right there might be some people at the show have seen it but yeah and so if let's just say 10% of people have seen that joke but if 90% didn't yeah why not do the joke right so I think if you put out a special it would be gone I have not done that before hope to in the future but but like clips I'm like meh you know it's like I'm trying to just get over that mentally it's like yeah and sometimes it's almost like it's almost like it's almost like it's a weird thing because you're putting it in front of

So you're saying being less precious with your material in general?

Yeah.

No, I put up jokes on there, and now they're different.

It's like, oh, same premise, but I found a different way in.

yeah in every every iteration of it yeah yeah you're right it's kind of like coming to a show every couple months and be like oh that joke is different now right right right it's it's good and sad because from that what you just you just worded it very beautifully but i think a sad part is it's just people just don't remember you know they just scroll endlessly scrolling and it's just that culture you know so it's like yeah it went viral it's like but what was that again you know

And it's interesting because, like, I think certain comedy styles lend itself to clips more.

Like, if you're, like, a Mark Norman style, it's, like, the clip, that medium is, like, made for you.

But not everyone is like that.

Some people do...

stories or it's like oh man this is really funny but it's like you have to have heard the other joke first and that's like you can't make a five minute clip you know right so like um so yeah it's kind of like taught me to like i've tried to write shorter jokes and stuff but that's cool just like trying new things is cool but i also like

I'm not changing for Mark Zuckerberg.

You know what I mean?

So I always try to keep that in mind.

It's like, why am I... Did I do this to...

To please an algorithm I don't understand?

Yeah, it's so weird.

You're saying pop music is this?

Well, I like to think that storytelling, obviously it's gone through different mediums, but I'm sure cavemen told stories too.
