“I did Legion of skanks last night Lewis keeps his the live chat on his phone during the show why would he do that it was insane I was on the show I'd tell a joke and then be like D couldn't stop reading the comments a live of comments yeah”

He claims that receiving hate from online trolls is ultimately beneficial because it keeps the creator relevant and generates income.

Podcast hosts are not necessarily journalists, but rather individuals having conversations based on their own curiosity.

Bitterness among comedians often stems from a lack of hope or perceived opportunities for advancement within the industry.

“This is my estimation. Whenever I see bitterness, I I I assume it comes from lack of of hope, like lack of potential opportunity, right? Like I'm I don't want to, you know, name certain people that people were upset about, but I saw some people being upset about somebody's success.”
