  Speaker 5: It's I have such a long, weird path here.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: But long story short. My age, the age that I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: am YouTube really started to be a thing when I
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: was a teenager. I'm thirty four, okay, you're baby.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I was supposed to ask anybody, a.
• 9:10

• 9:12
  Speaker 2: them outside, you can shoot them, fine, a woman you can't.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But a guy who forgets So I feel like I
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: had this strange like I've always wanted to act my
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: whole life. I loved writing. I loved editing. I love
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: just the whole creative process. I would like put on
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: coats in my parents' house and pretend I was in
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: a scene or whatever. I always loved acting, and then
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: when I was eighteen, I got I got really good
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: at editing, and I started to really get good with
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: final cut pro and I put out a YouTube video
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: that kind of exploded, and then I put out another one,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: which was the Sweet It was a sweet sixty an
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Italian American girl, sweet sixteen.
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: It's called Maria Marie's Sweet sixteen.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And I sat there. I did this whole thing with
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: this girl in this dress, and I was like, my
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: first candle goes to my mother and all this stuff
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: and that exploded in like love in like Jersey Brooklyn Statnam,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: that exploded. So here I was at nineteen. I'm like,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I have this new weird thing, but I still really
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: want to be an actor. And at that time they
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: really spoke ill of like content creator. Yeah, he's an actor,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: you're a content yeah, of course, And it was very
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: like this dismissed thing. Of course. Yeah, but now it's
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: eating them alive. But so at that time, I had
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: like one foot in like, Wow, this is actually happening.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: People are paying attention.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I get like I'm having some sort of momentum, but
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I also really want to do this thing.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: So like I just I was not giving either one
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: hundred percent.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I was like fifty percent in creating YouTube, but then
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: fifty percent going to acting classes. I went to UCB
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: improv and I got a manager, and I started going
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: on auditions, and I always wanted to do stand up,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: just because I noticed that stand ups could cut the line.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Like if you're known as a stand up, they don't
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: ask about credits, they don't ask about dialect coach, they
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: don't ask. They just say, oh, you're funny. You can
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: go in this movie. All my heroes did it, you know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Dave Chappelle loved everybody like they That was like the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: shortcut for me. I was like, if you get really
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: good at stand up, you can kind of do anything.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So when I was nineteen, that was the goal. But
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I just never had the balls to do it. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: just I wrote out things. I just never had the balls.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: So did your family were they rooting for you? Did
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: they back you up? Were they okay with this very much?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's great Now, what was your first stand up
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: where you wrote something and said, shit, I'm going to

  Speaker 3: do this in front of people. I'm going to a
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: real clubhound want to do it? Where was it?
• 11:31

• 11:35
  Speaker 2: ten years ago at the Laughing Buddha. I don't even
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: know if it's there anymore.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it used to be. I think by the seller.

• 12:03
  Speaker 2: was my next question. Yeah, like Dave Chappelle. I mean,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I love Ellen DeGeneres. She was a huge influence in
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: me growing up. She was a great stand up back
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: when I was like a younger kid. So I never realized,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: like the jokes, I just thought they just talked and

• 14:16
  Speaker 3: trying to be I mean, he's a master, he's ammaculate,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: He's a maculus. The one thing, the one thing I
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: always say, what I remember about Sebastian when we all
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: used to hang out in La, all the comedians, he
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: was always quiet, observing, always he wasn't ever in the middle.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: He was always he wasn't the center, always deserved no,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: but when he got up he would be. That was
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: the funniest do you know, Luca plonk On Tammy Pesco Pascal,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: really am I saying it right? I don't think she
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: was the last comic standing him married.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I saw that.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: You. I So what I'm trying to say to you
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: is I know comics. So I I lived on Fountain
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: and uh Fairfax, and I would go every every night,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: left Factory, comedy Store, everywhere, every comp I was addicted.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: You got the goods, the whole package.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: You got. You got the looks. Not that a comedian
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: has to have, and we know that, but you got looks.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: So you got the main thing. To me, you need charisma.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: You don't have charisma even as an actor. You gotta
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: have charisma. You have a likability. You have a likability.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: You're talented. You every time I go to your Instagram,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I see something different. I don't keep seeing the same
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: thing over and over again. You're not staying with the
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: same joke for five years. You're constantly changing your ship up.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: And I admire that. It's so important and you're forever evolving.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: You're getting better and better, and I just think that
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: I see you being successful. Now here's my question to you,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: what would you consider being What do you consider successful?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: That's actually it's funny that you say that, because as
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you're saying that, I'm thinking, like, I'm not rich by
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: any means, but I make way more money than I
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: ever thought possible at my level. Oh wow, Like so
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: my wife doesn't work.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: You're making a living. W two is the saying comedian

• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, done it, And to me, that's it and you're
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: doing what you love. I actually lived in La two

• 16:42
  Speaker 2: right by the fountain of the Capitol Records billiing, Yes,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I know exactly where you lived to anyway, I remember
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I moved out there when I was twenty eight. This
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: was six years ago, and I like, I tried so
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: many things, and it was just like I said, because
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: I was all over the place. That's kind of a curse.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I tried to make I tried to have a music career.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I tried to be an actor. I tried to be
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: a comedian. I tried to be a sketch comedy guy.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I tried to be a trade but it was it
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: was it was like it was I didn't have much
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: at action. Yeah I would have. I would have general
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: meetings in LA with these like good people and they'd
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: be like, what do you want to do and I'd
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: be like anything, and they're like, I don't have to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: help you. I don't have a kid. I didn't have
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: like a And that's why stand up was so great
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: to me, because it was finally something that okay, now
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I know it, like to what's a channel? And a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: week literally the week I.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: My my wife and I she came, she moved to
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: LA with me.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I got called for the FD and Y and it
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: was like, you're I took the test and my dad
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: is guy from Brooklyn and Union pension benefits. Oh yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: That's why I asked, did they support you with this?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm I'm really lucky. Yeah, but like that I
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: literally was it was. He was like calling me, they
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: give you like a recruiter to make sure you get on.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: And I had this really great guy from my neighborhood
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, this is it if I'm either going
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: to go for this or I'm gonna like it was
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: scary as ship, so like I did everything to survive there.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I remember thinking, like I did it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I had a show and I'm like this is like
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: this is this is rent for a couple of months.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: So like I kept thinking, if I could just that's
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: it for me, you know, to be able to.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Keep that going.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So when she got to quit her job, it
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: was the greatest day of my life. When I've been
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: to Italy because a stand up. I mean, I was
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: got married, all of these incredible things. I'm really really lucky.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: And then the anxiety is like it could end any minute.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: It could end any minute. So I have.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Even as actors guarantee for anything in like I have
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: a business. I mean right now, you know tomorrow it
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: could be taken away from me, So you can't it
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't matter. There's no guarantees, guarantee for anything. Enjoy what
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: you're doing. My grandmoma always said, she goes, if you
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: love what you do, you'll never work.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: It's it's really true. I said to my after the
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: other day, I'm like, I haven't had that feeling of
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: like I have to go do something I don't want
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to do in six years.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Since I since I moved with jobs you take now,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Like what do you mean selective? Like whereat don't have.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: So many choices? Like, well, it depends like if there's
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: a there's a one off, if there's a show that's.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Paying five hundred dollars in Kansas City.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: No, I'm not gonna you're not doing but the old
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: when you were starting out, you would have did it right.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. I did focus groups in La Literally,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I'd go there and you talk about uber. I'm like,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: and they give you like a two hundred dollars gift.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: You had to go to Whole Foods and buy two
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: pieces of bread because everything's so expensive there. Yeah, So
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: the fact that that is uh, I pinched myself sometimes.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I also like you get ads from like TikTok or
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: something like where.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: I remember I did one for a.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Cereal for a Kellogg cereal I made, I wrote, I
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: wrote a script, I submitted it, they approved it, and
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: I made it in my guest bedroom. I came outside,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I told my wife, I'm like, this is how cool?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Is holy?
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: How cool is this? Like? I wrote it, I directed it,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I edited it's all what I want to do. I'm
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: proud of it. This is what I was doing as
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: a kid, making videos pretending.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I'm now you're a big kid, and I'm kids.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: It's identical, Like, yeah, I'm not on a set like
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: I wish I was, and I'm not doing it with whoever.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: But like it's almost cooler this way I've been on sets.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: It's pretty.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: It's pretty like tiring and long, and.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: But isn't amazing how everything evolved into now that there's
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: these big companies now just going to like tracking people
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: down on social media. Now it's like when we were kids,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: we had five stations. Oh yeah, that was it, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: that's all we had to watch. And thirty forty million
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: people watch one show. That's that has such power. Yeah,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: it's the power they have. And now it's like if
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: you could hold a million or two million something, nobody's attention,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: nobody's not the attention anything is in this phone course.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: And the kids they don't even they can't even sit
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: and watch something for thirty minutes. It's like all right, time,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: sac boom. If you don't get everything you needed to
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: tell me, and that that ten seconds and done.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: So you know what's kind of funny about that? Though,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: that actually taught me how to be a better writer.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I remember when so when I moved to La I
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: was just trying to survive, and I was I would
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: go to the comedy store and they good luck getting
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: unopened mic there. It's just it's all politics, it's all
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: who you know. And there's like four hundred people outside.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: They have like the pot luck they lift your heat. Yeah,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: but seven of the comedians are doing it every week.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: It's like and they also work here. Yeah, And I'm like,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: I'm never gonna get picked for this. So I remember thinking,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: like what if I I had these jokes that I wrote.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: It's like, what if I did them on Instagram instead
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: of on stage? I have like ten thousand followers, So
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: what if I took this five minute or whatever? And
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: at that point, you could only make a video a minute, right, Like, Okay,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I have to make this what I thought was six minutes.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: I have to squeeze it to sixty seconds, cut out
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: all the bullshit, and make it.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: As strong as it possibly can be.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Flowers, And that's what made me able to like that
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: short attention span. I was to like capitalize on that. Yeah,
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I'm a victim of it as well. It's just you know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: adapt or die. I don't know.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: So where are you going to be now? Where are
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: your shows? Where are you?

  Speaker 2: Why he's like the guy right.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right now. You always tell me about him homeless pimp.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love him too. He's such a great guy.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Who was who is your your iconic besides David Chappelle,
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: which he's the best. His show was the best.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: Funny him in like two thousand and three.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: There's no one better now in history.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Uh. I liked when he played Rick James. I was like,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: my your favorite. But how do you feel today about
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: half the being centered because of the woke wollness? Does
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: that interrupt who you really are and what you really
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: want to say.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm I'm I'm a bit of a I'm
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: scared that like I'm going to say the wrong thing.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And isn't that horrible?
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: It is horrible, it is I mean, it depends what
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: it is. Like if I'm truly I still get shipped.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I may. I put out this song last
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: week or two weeks ago. It was a joke about
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: how you know, I just read the definition of man's
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: plaining and it sounds a lot like my wife explaining things.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So that was the joke. That was the joke, and
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: all these feminists went and I'm like, shut up, ridiculous.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: It's like, you don't get the joke. You don't get
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: the joke.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: They have no sense of you. And that's the problem
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: today is that people cannot for themselves, like you see,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: we're too powerful women. And I think that's hilarious.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I think that because you're understand you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Can't take jokes personal. No jokes are like first of all,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: especially when you go to you see people who just
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: recently had to fight with one of the people heckled him,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: got up and he was like, ye, don't let the
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: fuck do I think that was? David Chappelle did that
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: at one of his shows. He told somebody, there's so
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: many now like he because he doesn't tolerate that crap.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: He just hasn't you know. He says what he wants
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: to Why would you go knowing that you're going to
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: do that? Why would you go? You don't belong to
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: the comedy show. You go watch Anne do standard.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: It's very weird that they It's very strange.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I almost want to get insulted so they have something
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: to complain about. When maybe it's that moment they get
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: the camera on them, they know they're going to be
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: on to be a cameras somebody's.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: This is not someone who's fulfilled in their life. It's
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: not someone who wakes up and is happy and has
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: good relationships. This is someone who's has a lot of
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: albums that they don't want to talk about.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: They have to like, it's tough going to therapy.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: So there were no censors, would your comedy be completely
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: different than it is?
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: So I don't really I don't censor myself, and when
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I'm on stage, I go for it. I don't give
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: a shit when I'm on stage. But like there there
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: will be times when like I have anxiety about stuff,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, I have to get over that.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: That's my own problem. But like I don't really on stage.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: I certainly don't if it's a video. I'm afraid that,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: like because I haven't gotten to like, like we're mentioning
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Sebastian a lot. I mean, he he's kind of the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: only one really who just sort of he did explode
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: very quickly over like on like his one of his
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: bits went crazy on Facebook. But like everybody that you
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: know has like sort of a thing that puts them
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: on the map. Yeah you can kind of like not
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: that not that they made it their safe, but they
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: kind of get to a place where it's like I'm established.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: You can't take this away from me. I'm worried that
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: like people could just like misinterpret something and then if
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I lose followers, I can't make money. I'm dead. So
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: like that's something that I have.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: But isn't guys really screwed up to have to feel
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: that way. It's like it's you know what I mean,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Like I mean, I'm going to talk about it from
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: a business point of view, Like even you don't want
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: to say anything, do anything to like even have that
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: little bit of somebody thinking you're going to insult somebody
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: or whatever, but no one, No one's who the hell
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: people look for it?
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Who's perfect?
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Nobody?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: If you look at if you look at anybody who's
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: offended with something, there is someone that they love that
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: disrupted the status quote that they celebrated.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: Meaning if they grew up and they thought religion was oppressive.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: They loved the anti God movement, even though that defended
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: my grandma. But they were like.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Good, defensive is good, right, but now it offends them.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Offensive is bad. It's like and plus, no one is
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: worthy of redemption anymore. Like I always thought that if
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: you look at a lot of celebrities go to rehab
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: or you know they New York City, here you can
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: steal whatever you want, or in LA and it's like, well,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: these fifteen hundred, they're not bad people. They just need
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: to be helping and it's great. So they are worthy
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: of redemption. Right, they're not bad. We need we need
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: their help. But if you do something that's it, you're
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: not worthy of redemption.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Everything was gone. One of somebody came out and said,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: I don't need these badfect people. It's get these perfect people,
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: because if I did a back check on these perfect people,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: can't you don't be freaking What did any Murphy used
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: to say about the bones and people's closet and some
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: people have graveyards?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, my god.

  Speaker 3: I know that the people who usually complain as they're
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: the ones just be nice, you know, just be nice,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: have a good per compassion and empathy, and that seems to.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Be gone people one hundred percent. People also don't understand
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: that a lot of the times the joke is supporting
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: your beliefs. Meaning if I said, you know, women belong
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: in the kitchen or something like that, and people laughed,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: I actually don't think that. That's why I'm laughing at it,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: laughing at it like they don't understand that it's if
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I clearly we're laughing because it's wrong.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Exactly, they're too dumb, I'm gonna say dumb.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Usually people usually the person saying it believes the exact opposite.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: That's why they're laughing. Look how funny it would be
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: if I believed this. So how do you make comedy
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: out of being.
