But at that moment, there was nothing like it, but it did help me find my own sound and identity, and that's kind of when I really started to, I guess, get, like, crazy gigs and offers because I was doing something that nobody else was doing.

We work nights.

It was like the DJ community was totally the same.

Comics have timing.

DJs have rhythm.
