That's one of my biggest comedy theories because I spent so many of my early years in my career.
for any comedians that might listen is that I spent so many years just trying to like write a type of joke.
You know, you'd be like, I'm going to write this type of joke.
I'm going to write a fat joke.
I'm going to write a black joke.
I'm going to write a weed joke.
And then I learned quicker that if like, if I just said things, if I said what I really believed in my voice,
That people weren't used to that.
And that it just automatically, on a base human level, because they were either nervous or because it hit a bone of truth, that it would make them laugh a real truthful, hearty laugh as opposed to these...
laughs of like, oh, that's clever.
Oh, that's, I didn't think of that.
But they're laughing because I believe it and because I'm saying what I truly feel.
And I think that in comedy, I don't mean to give away my secrets, but it is one of the rare gifts.
Yeah, but you have to be good.
Oh, that makes me feel really good.
So I really appreciate hearing that.
Oh, well, you know, it's based off of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?
Jeff Foxworthy, who would tell you or not, he was the leading person on specialists on letting you know if you were a redneck or not.
