I don't need to talk about anything I don't want to talk about. Exactly. Like, who are you? It's so quick we automatically, when I say we, I mean people at large, sort of assume the worst about a person immediately. I think it's also this social media thing. Yeah, it's like- I don't think it's, they really assume that, I think they just have this opportunity to express themselves in a way that they're going to get a reaction out of you. Yeah. And this is the way to do it. I also, you know what's crazy is that, like I, we've been harping on this younger generation, but I've said some shit at like Cellar and VU, like very anti-Trump shit, and people have been like, like one night at VU, Cellar's one of their other clubs, I said, forget what I said about Trump, I basically fat shamed him because I think he's a fat piece of shit, but like I said that in more articulate, in the joke form, and some guy got up and was like, fuck this, and just bounced. And I'm like, word dog, that's what you're mad about? You're not mad about the fact that he is that? That your president is a billionaire that doesn't use his money to just hire a personal trainer once in a while? Like, an Adderall McDonald's diet is not the way you want your fucking president to be living his life, more or less. And this person just got up and bounced, and was just heated. And I talked to him after, I was like, what, what are you mad about? So I think it's just- What did he say? He was like, I didn't like the words that you were using, it's very crude- Where's he from? Nebraska? Florida. Ahhhhh! That's just like, look man, I'm like- I didn't like the words you were using at the comedy seller. It was like vulgar, I'm like, I'm like, dog, like, come on, man. That's what I'm saying, I feel like it's fixed, is like, just have a safe space for comics, where like, where there's a sign that the seller now is just swimming at your own risk. You coming down like weird, you're here to see us. I'm not here to fucking sing a dance for you guys, you guys are here, this is an exchange, this is an agreement that all you have to do is not laugh or laugh. Well, it's also the people that are going down to see that stuff that like it, they expect you to do that kind of comedy. They expect you to go hard. That's what it's about. If I go there and everybody's pulling back, all of a sudden I'm at the Tonight Show, and all of a sudden I'm at a Jimmy Fallon monologue, like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's someone I came here for. I came here to have a couple of drinks and hear some crazy shit from Greer Barnes. You know what I mean? I want to hear some real stand up, I don't want to hear this stupid shit. And you know, people that can't handle some offensive stuff, you shouldn't be at a comedy club. This is where people go to say offensive stuff, that's like you don't want dirt in your hands and you're in a garden. Like, this is stupid. Manage some expectations. But people politically, man, when you get into their team and you're shitting on their team, he's probably a Republican. Of course. Probably has brain damage. He's living in Florida. There's probably something wrong. Water's tough. To me, it's like, politically, people are so like, that's part of their personality almost. Where like, having, I've done a lot of political comedy, you know? And to me, it's like, when you do that, you're almost talking to them as if their politics are their person. And that's the kind of crazy thing. My politics are not necessarily who I am as a human being. I'm pretty liberal when it comes to social issues, but might fairly conservative when it comes to financial issues and fiscal issues. I'm just like, don't take who I voted for to be who I am as a human being. No one has that nuance anymore about anything. Yeah. It's an identity issue. People find whatever team it is, whether it's progressive or conservative, and they just decide, this is my identity, and they cloak themselves in it, and then they defend it. And someone that's like yourself is saying jokes that are contrary to that. Yeah. I'm talking shit about their quarterback. You know what I mean? Yeah, that quarterback is about to get fucking popped. Jesus Christ. He pulled off the field. Jesus Christ, man. It's every day. It's like he's still there, huh?
