That shapes industries.
That's going to change.

And I feel like so much of what we do, it just it don't belong to us once we hit upload.
Like, once we put it out there, my most viral joke is a joke that ain't even from none of my specials.
It's a Street Fighter joke.
And I say it with that snark because I didn't put any effort into it.
Like, it was just, it was a joke.
Yeah, I like it.
I did it on Comedy Central, but it wasn't like, like, when you do an hour special, these are jokes that I've slaved over for two years and polished each corner to make sure that every political point is exactly the way I want.
And then, f***.
off at the Comedy Solar one night.
I do a joke about how Street Fighter, the people in the background, aren't paying attention to the fighting.
Thousands of comments, and they're like, this is brilliant.
I'm like, you did not watch my about gun control, bitch.
I've got stuff way more fire than the Street Fighter joke.
But if the people have decided that what I put out, that that's what they want to consume, I'm cool with that.
And if anything, it makes me go, all right, if I want you to come to my stand-up for the subliminal political thing, then maybe I would benefit from having a little bit of, you know, something a little lighter in there.
