Yeah, because it's like I go up and I like I'm not somebody as a stand up who like sits in a coffee shop and like writes down the jokes verbatim in my notebook and then goes on stage and says, you know, word for word from the notebook. Like I write down little like premises and ideas and thoughts and things like that. And then so much of my writing process as a comedian is about writing on stage.

Like I get up on stage and like I have very little idea where I'm going when I'm working out new material. And so much of it is about like working in conversation with the audience and figuring out what the joke is and what the angle is and what the funny thing about whatever I'm talking about is. And like I it's just I record every set and I listen to it back and I said, oh, hey, that hit.

And yeah. And I think like the thing is about like this is like we are living in the moment where every comedian is posting crowd work clips like everybody's got to. And I understand that like it's a necessity.

I'm very lucky that I did not come up in an age where I had to post content of myself doing stand up, whether it be a joke that you're burning for the Internet or crowd work that you're posting because you have to put out like a new clip every week and you don't want to burn that material. But I see a lot of crowd work where I'm like,

Nobody needs to know.

Nobody needs to know.

I have a lot of sympathy for comedians who need to do that. But I'm also like, baby, like, let's let's let's really examine the material.
