it like started with being like, why do I have so many jokes about my dad?

Like, why do I always talk about my dad?

Cause I just was like, it's such a rich area to talk about your dad who abandoned you.

And then out of like, because I had just had a child, I was just kind of like, I weirdly am having this like feeling that I should just go see him.

And I, and he's never going to set this up.

So like I have to set it up.

And of course I was like, well, maybe I'll just bring a camera and see what happens.

I think definitely it didn't happen to a little later, but like, as far as like the way that I do my comedy now, I feel like even watching dad jokes for me is like watching like a different version of me.

And now like, I think my comedy has evolved a lot just simply because like, that's what happens when people do specials is then they can put all that material behind them.

But because my special was like so personal, I think just putting all of that behind me.

And I mean, I really don't have any jokes about my dad.

So,

that special so now i'm like i'm bad now i'm like at least talking about my 20s you know i'm like moved on from childhood next decade i'll talk about my 30s chronologically i've moved on

I'm just like 20 years late.

comics do they they move on is it weird now that you have to come on shows like this and talk about dad the entire time i mean i've learned that a lot of people you know it was the material was so um it was so hard to tell in a regular stand-up set because it'd be like want want or like you know

just get to this point where people like I don't know if I can laugh at that and so it's nice putting it all in that chunk because now when I talk about it you realize because I was like well that's not relatable and of course it's relatable so many people have like weird relationships with like it doesn't even have to be your dad but like a family member that you can imagine like

Yeah, going to like visit.

So it's weirdly like the stuff I thought was like not like couldn't be relatable in the stand up set.

I was happy it was relatable, but it's not like too sad where I feel like I'm people are messaging me and it's like, you know.

Which is fine, but I don't know if I'm the best person to talk to.
