I know I liked it, but I was pretty bad when I started too.

So I just wasn't sure.

Well, everyone does it a little bit in in like an hour long set, you know, even if they don't mean to.

It's just like if you're doing a live set for an hour at a comedy club, you usually end up riffing or talking to someone for some amount of it.

Usually people don't, you know, completely ignore the live element of the show for a full hour.

But I think, yeah, people I think older comedians certainly don't respect the way in which

New comedians are using it as clickbait to draw people out to shows.

I always had like a natural knack for it.

And it did start from being bad at comedy and not being able to do my jokes, which is the that's the knock on crap work.

It's like, oh, these are for guys that don't have good jokes.

It was for me in the beginning.

Nowadays, I think my act is a lot stronger, so I don't have to do it if I don't want.

You know, I enjoy doing 10, 15 minutes of it if I'm doing an hour set anyway.

No one needs more than 45 minutes of jokes.

But I realized I was good at it, truly, because I think people started to give me more time up there, and I didn't have the goods for it.

So it is kind of the negative stereotype.

I was like, oh, I guess I'll just...

Make fun of some guy in the front row, you know, and then and then I did that and that worked for me.

So then I that's but that all happened around 2021.
