Deep dives

The difference between hope and denial is just a tonal difference.

There is a difference between hope and denial, but it is only a tonal difference. They can often coexist together. Jazz music helped the speaker enjoy his day, even without eating or masturbating. The pacing and professionalism of old comedy acts, like Tom Dreesen or Argus Hamilton, show that there is a certain language and rhythm to their performances that still resonate with some audiences. The popularity of TikTok and social media has created a different language of comedy, and some acts that were once popular have now trended out. Despite the changing landscape of comedy, the speaker acknowledges that their own style is unique and may not appeal to everyone, but they appreciate their loyal audience. Stand-up comedy is a constantly evolving art form, and it is important for comedians to stay true to their own style and craft.
