This is me trying to figure out a new joke...`

I have an idea for a new joke, but I'm not sure what or where the funny parts are yet. So I'm writing it out here to try and find the joke.

Ok so sometimes I have ideas for jokes that are interesting, but I’m not sure what the funny part is or what my take on it is yet. This is one of those times. Often I can talk it out on stage, but this feels like one of the instances where I need to write it down and see where my brain takes me. I’ve never shown this part of my process before, so welcome to my brain!

The joke I want to do is based on the very real fact that Stockholm Syndrome is not real and based on one incidence where the psychologist never even spoke to the victim. If you want to hear the story and get a first look at what jokes it might lead to, you’ll have to be a paid subscriber, because shows aren’t free!

One of the ways I try to get inspired for new jokes is by scrolling through the news. I’m not necessarily looking for something topical, I’m more looking for something interesting. Which is exactly what I found one day when I stumbled across an article about how Stockholm Syndrome is not real. I think this story is very interesting (and hopefully you will too) but as I am writing this bit down, I’m going to try to add jokes to it, because as of right now, I don’t really have any…. so here we go….
