51
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 3: to Muki about, like, how should I approach this hour

52
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: because I have a bunch of jokes and they're all

53
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: loosely connected. They're obviously all from me and all and

54
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: like my life experiences, but I don't really try to

55
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: figure out how to And he gave me his notes,

56
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 3: like try to write it as if it's a feature.

57
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: You know, you have your kind of cold open like

58
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 3: you're setting the tone.

59
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 1: Could know who you are.

60
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 3: Then you're inciting incident all your trials and tribulationship.

61
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: That's not a bad no, you know.

62
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 3: The only difference is in the feature of the character

63
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: learned something. Yeah, there's some kind of evolution, but comedy

64
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: is having something affect you and then not learning anything

65
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: right right, you know, And so like towards the end

66
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: of the hour, I didn't learn shit, And I approached

67
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: this one like this one kind of wrote itself, like

68
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,720

127
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: the finish line because like the meat of it is

128
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: done and now I'm just putting on the edges and

129
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,599
