It's like ideas get into our minds, and then we make cars, or we make planes, or we make computers.

And then ideas, they build on each other.

You have to have all these other people's ideas, and you pool those ideas together and create a new invention.

I think they're a life form.

I think they're a way that they force creative apes to manifest physical things.

I think the muse is a real thing.

And I think it's the more time you spend thinking, you can kind of hear those calls.

The more time you spend alone writing and thinking and working on stuff, you hear those calls and those calls like from the ether, from wherever the fuck it's coming from, those make their way onto your page and then there's real work involved too where you're analyzing it.

Okay, how can I make that better?

Maybe setup's too long.

Maybe it's too, like, maybe I should toss it and just readdress.

Like, I'll do that sometimes where I'll take a premise, and it just, some of them just feel clunky, you know?

Like, you're trying to work it out, but they don't necessarily feel right, and you're getting kind of laughs, but then you're doing it the same way over and over and over again.

Yeah, you're not connected to it, so why would they be?

Right.

So then sometimes with those kind of things, I will just throw it aside and rewrite the joke just on the premise.

So instead of using all the setup and the punchline, I'll say, there's got to be another way to address this topic.

Like, let me see.

So that I think is like real work.

That's real work where you're thinking and you're analyzing.
