you know, of reason for be saying all this stuff and everything leads into the other thing.

So you want to make it where people don't realize you're into another joke.

But in my head, I could be on like joke five, but you're trying to, I'm trying to make it where like, and then that's how you remember it.

Cause the only way, you know, if you're talking about like riding a car and then you're like, my wife bought a car.

Well, now that's the only thing I could go into.

Yeah, well, Cosby was one.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But if you go watch his old stuff, it's very storytelling and all that kind of stuff.

I'm a big Seinfeld fan.

Seinfeld was... He was... I kind of think... Because I always looked at it like I tell stories, but in a joke form.

Like, so it's, I mean, I try to never be too far from the laugh because the farther you are from the laugh, the bigger the laugh has to be.

And I don't want to put that much pressure on a laugh.

So if I can just kind of keep it going and let it build, it's like, you know, it doesn't, you're just not putting the weight of the world on this.

You're like, because if you go silent too long, I mean, there's a point where you're like, well, this joke better be unreal.

It turned into a lecture.

And there's no, you're like, no, he's supposed to go, well, he'll never get there now.

Yeah.

Yeah, there's a bunch.

I mean, you'd blame it on... I had one one time I thought it was the shirt I wore, and so I threw that shirt away.

I had a button-down shirt, and I tucked it in.
