• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: You guys are getting the raw reaction to me settling into this.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: I was preparing and writing so much for this set, and then I was forgetting stuff that was happening, and I was forgetting lines, and I was forgetting words during the middle of my set because he started to get to me a little bit, and I didn't know how I wanted to handle it, and that's just me being truthful.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's just me being truthful, and I need to get that in my bag, I need to get that a part of my part of my freaking armory, dude.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: Being able to handle peeps like that, because those those people are gonna be there, those people are gonna say that, those people are gonna do that, and you know, that's that's just a part of the game.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's a part of the game.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm glad that I was here with my friends to deal with that, to do that, and uh I'm proud of how I handled it.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I didn't blow up, I didn't I I didn't give up because it was one moment, you know, where I actually interacted with him, and he you know, was like saying I I ran out of jokes, basically was his thing.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: And then I just did like 20 jokes.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: I just started firing, I just started firing jokes, and I did 20 jokes and I looked at him and I was like, well, there's 20 more.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: There's 20 more jokes.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: Like I have jokes, you know what I'm saying?
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: But for a second there, I almost was just like, man, imagine if I forgot the jokes in that moment and I just admitted defeat.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Man, I would have quit.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: If I would have forgotten in that moment and my brain failed me, I would have quit.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: I'd have been like, man, you just took me down, sir.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: You just eliminated me, and now I'm now I'm as sad and depressed as you are, sir.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm as sad and depressed as your wife is, sir.
