It only took 26 years of hard work to get that one moment in the sun.

It's what you do with it afterwards that really fucking counts.

It's like, do I parlay this into sustained success or am I a one hit wonder?

And you're still here long after the viral video went viral.

And so congratulations to you, my friend.

You know what?

I think that my observation is – and this is just – I'm speaking more about the podcast industry because while I am certainly like a comedy addict, I love the art of comedy.

I love learning about the history of comedy, the lineage of comedy, how you do it, how you do it well.

I'm not claiming to be good at it because I have never done any stand-up.

It's just behind this silly microphone in my own home in the studio.

But what I've noticed is –

Podcasting is very similar in this sense, is that people get a podcast, it starts to do well.

They go out and they do live shows.

That doesn't do well.

And things kind of fall apart because they have zero interest in the hard work that comes afterwards to sustain it or to be...

Like you said, a student of whatever it is they're doing.

Do you think that social media and viral moments like that make the comedy world in general a little bit more noisy?

Or is it better because now talented people can find their voice quicker?

Yeah, and you have sustained that success through the viral moment.

And people say you talk about what you know.
