Pre-YouTube.

And so I think by being kind of chronically online and talking to people in message boards and forums and being a part of different threads and stuff like that, you just ended up realizing that you weren't alone in your experience of things, but also you weren't alone in how you –

distill information, I was still awkward.

And I was still what you would call weird in the stacking of all these things put together.

But I think that once I was able to

embrace a bit more of it, I think it allowed people who also share that, whatever it is, 10% of the same personality as me, an ability to embrace a little bit of theirs.

And so then me being more confident about all the things that I know are not conventional, but I find interesting, I think ends up making you as the person interesting.

Sure, sure.

And I think that once you realize that you are not alone in any particular way, it does open the door for connection.

You would like to be close to the people that are like you in this obscure way.

Yes, yes, yes.

For sure.

And I think humor also allows you – if you've written a joke or a sketch or you're doing –

any form of communication and you make someone laugh, it feels like they don't just get you, but they accept you.

Like they really receive the thing that you've just said, which is a bit tougher sometimes with drama because drama, it's like,

Plenty of people can hear a horrifically sad story and not cry.

And I don't even know if the point of writing drama is to make people cry.

It's more to make them feel.

And feeling is something that you can do very stoically and people will walk away not knowing how you felt.

But when the intention is to make you laugh and then people do make you laugh, then I think it just perfectly connected everything.
