I don't know how he knows how to do that.

I went to school.

I have read books and I can do it like, you know, but some people can, it's like music.

Some people can just play.

I don't know how.

Well, I do.

I think I'm more vulnerable on stage than most comedians.

You know, I'll say anything when people feel like they can't say anything, which is a vulnerable position to put myself in.

But some jokes, it's like, I just want to see if it works.

I don't want to not try.

And I think that I've

over the years cultivated an audience that's more forgiving than most people's, than a casual comedy observer would be.

These people I think almost come to experience the danger because the audience is also vulnerable if you're taking it out of bounds.

Yeah, I don't know.

I was just gone for two weeks.
