Yeah. And you can go... The other thing that's strange is that you consume the media, you know, like the news of it, oh my god, what's going on? And then you can walk down the street or drive down the street and forget. You know what I mean? Like there's this sense of... Yeah. So I talked to another cousin of mine, a doctor, and she's like, oh, I, yeah, I don't turn any of it on. I just get it out of... I already know like what's happening, so I just choose not to be bombarded by it. Yeah, you can be bombarded. Yeah. You know what? It also shifts your view of the world so it can heighten your anxiety and your paranoia. People were anxious already. People already have anxiety issues. They must be a fucking wreck right now. Absolutely. Because they're like, oh my god, I was right. The world is ending. There's a mandatory lockdown across the entire country except Montana. It's weird to have this going on honestly and promote a special. You know what I mean? I know. But there's so many people at home. There's so many people at home. I mean, look, I understand the whole marketing of it and how that works, but you're just like, you know, you're on these calls and they're like, tell us about your new special. Isn't it crazy there's a pandemic? So why don't you guys shoot it? I'm like, yeah. What do you mean by ball hog? And why do you have all those porn hub girls that are saying ball hog? Did you get those girls to say that or are they already saying ball hog? They're already saying it. You're talking about my stories? Yeah. Yeah, they were already. That's where I got the title. I was on the road. I was J and my D. And I saw a nice lady doing really extensive stuff to this guy's balls. And I was like, I wonder if there's a whole sub genre dedicated to this, you know? So I typed it in and they're like, you might enjoy ball hogs. So in that feature, these ladies, they introduce themselves and they go, and I'm a ball hog. So they all do it and they really work on guys balls like hardcore, really intense. And so in the special, I at one point just reference, not that film, but I just tell people that their mothers are ball hogs. And then I think you're really good at this, by the way, picking titles. I think it's one of the hardest things, you know? You're like, you're doing your edit and you just want your show together. And they're like, what are you going to call it? And you're like, I don't fucking know. Live from here. It's just the worst. But you've had good ones. But anyways, I was going back and forth with different titles and it was suggested actually. Josh, my manager, he was like, what about ball? And I smiled ear to ear. And I was like, yes. So it was settled at that point. What was your tour named? Take It Down. Oh, yeah. You can't call it Take It Down. You can't call it Take It Down. No, I mean, you could, but no, no, you can't. Ball hogs better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny when you call a tour one thing and then you call the special. I know. And people were like, you should call Take It Down. I'm like, yeah, but they don't want it to be called Take It Down. Yeah. They don't. Netflix isn't like, it'd be great if you call this Take It Down. It's funny. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny. Yeah. It's funny. Yeah. It's funny. Yeah. It's funny. Yeah. It's funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
