Yeah, I will say like Tempe, pretty cool, you know.

Well, shan't be going back to Phoenix.

Well, shan't be going back to Phoenix.

I ordered a Greek salad at a restaurant in Phoenix. And you know what they brought me out? A bowl that was like a third full of tzatziki, then cucumbers, and then feta on top of that, and then more tzatziki on top of that. And I was like, this is disgusting. This is all the same. It's a bowl of sour cream. Yeah. I was like, yeah, you gave me soup. Like, this is not a salad.

What do you think a salad is?

That's all they have there. I can't recommend. So sorry to disrespect anybody who lives there currently or is from there who loves it. But, you know, not every city is for everybody, you know.

Yeah. I mean, I will say... I haven't really bombed since Phoenix. Thankfully. Thankfully. You're too good. And so like most of the material and I don't change the material really for audiences. I never have even. And like I'm very proud of that. I've gotten some really nasty, like very specific to me jokes like to hit and land.

But you do have to like really like get them on your side first and sort of like get them to trust you. And then you can do the weirder shit. And that's the stuff that like right now, especially I love to do the most. And like I have a joke right now that like is the build up to it is that like I am in love with a horse and, you know, bestiality is tough, especially in this climate.

Judgment everywhere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that joke, unfortunately, you know, it really does hit with some of them. If I'm performing for like an alt comedy crowd, you know, who expects it to be weird. Yeah. And it's like, again, like, I think like there's a difference in a crowd that's like comedy literate because they already know what the obvious punchline is. to a joke is.

And so like, we're all trying to stay ahead. And like, honestly, the internet has made it really hard because like you like tweet out a joke and it becomes a meme and it becomes disseminated around and everyone, no one knows who started the joke.

And so like, we're all trying to stay ahead. And like, honestly, the internet has made it really hard because like you like tweet out a joke and it becomes a meme and it becomes disseminated around and everyone, no one knows who started the joke.

Yeah. And it's so frustrating because like you do that obvious punchline of the joke you wrote and people are like, oh, that's from the meme. And you're like, no, it's not, bitch. It's from my stand up. It's from me. I'm going to kill myself. No, literally.

And like, it's not always super helpful because if you're performing for a comedy audience that has seen like maybe one or two comedy shows in their entire life, they don't even know what the obvious punchline is yet. So if you're trying to go to step two and stay ahead of it,
