That's honestly tea.

That's honestly tea.

I think that's tea because I I've ran from stand up for a while because I'm. I have told, I've told my team this because my manager's like, please, please, please, please. Um, but like, I feel like, first of all, it's an art form and I love it. I love standup so much. So that's why I'm like, well, I'm not like that.

And if I'm not the best, I'm not doing it. That's like how I feel. I'm like, I'm not going to try if I'm not the best.

And if I'm not the best, I'm not doing it. That's like how I feel. I'm like, I'm not going to try if I'm not the best.

um but i feel like it is purely a confidence thing because i've always known i'm funny right i know i'm funny but like that doesn't always translate and i don't want to be one of those guys that like they make comedy videos on youtube and then they start doing stand-up and it's like it's horrible yeah but you already can't be one of those guys because no offense in case you don't know you're not a straight white guy so what already you're gonna be fine

Yeah, they're like blind confidence.

Yeah, they're like blind confidence.

Exactly. They don't have enough people in media to look at and idolize. No, not at all. Not at all. Not at all. this is my favorite question to ask like stand up people who do stand up that are not straight white guys but like have you ever gotten advice from a audience member like after a set

I always like to ask women especially because sometimes when they do lineups or cards with other dudes and they're all older, even if she goes and kills, they'll be like, have a couple notes for you.

Which is crazy. But maybe it's because you're doing better shows.

That's so true. And very, I think, it helps a lot with the experience, I think, when you're trying to get your feet wet. Yeah. Because you're performing in spaces that want you there, but also that understand your humor. Right.

Yeah. And it's, like, we have different POVs, different lives. And it's funny you say that because when I did Caleb's, I explicitly told him I didn't want to advertise that I was going to be there because I was, like, I don't want it to be my fans. Not that I don't think there will be any people who don't like me there. Sure. I want to find out for real if I'm funny. OK, love that.
