Yeah, but it's, you know, it's not as loud as it is down here.
Yeah, the South, it's more—the South has more of that kind of slave magic history.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We just have just little innuendos of bad history and bad— Bad things we did, I guess. It's still up there, though, for sure.

Chapter 3: What challenges has Grace faced in her comedy career?
Goddamn. You got – I mean you're going to figure it out. And I think it's interesting these days I think because – I'll say this. There used to be more of stairways for how people got into comedy, right? There was like –
Obviously you got on stage, but then you got on different like little – like there was like a Comedy Central 10 Minutes or there was like these – now there's like Dry Bar and different groups like that. But there was other small groups where you did comedy sets that they put out there, right? And now a lot of that's disappearing. There was like – what was it? Late Show –
There were some late shows where you would just sit around in a panel, right? Where people would start to build their name.
Yeah.
And now I think just a lot of like podcasting has kind of become that. It's taken the place of a lot of things.
That's true, yeah.
Whereas before there was maybe more acting roles or things like that for comedy. Because there's not even that many comedies now. Like shows.
Not really. No, not so much. I think that's I think that's the new wave that they're trying to do right now is that they're trying to cast for a lot of comedy shows because there has been like a lull. Yeah, that's what I heard.
So I think that you have to have some place where you start to build, you know, that's like an entertainment outlet. So I think podcasting is that, you know, I think it's just kind of become that. Or TikTok or some sort of like just people's own social media. Because sure, you have the podcast, but then also the clips are kind of what bring people into your world a lot of times.
