And I get that that's what people do in the satire sphere. I'm sure Ali G and Bruno and Borat did the same thing. And I don't think it's unethical because that's all for the purposes of comedy. It is what it is. But for me, I wanted to do something different.

Right, exactly. Kids have to think about that. Or imagine if there's a video of your grandma or grandpa out there when he was a kid talking about eating ass. That's a horrible experience. To discover that about your respected elder later in life, it's tough.

It's just not a good vibe. So we kind of look for people who appear to be already ready to talk. Open body language, like they seem confident and verbose, and we approach them first. There's a look.
