Hi, Nate. How are you? David, how are you? I'm good. I'm good. Thanks for taking the time to talk with me again. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, I saw a thing Mark Maron wrote earlier this year on his website where he was writing about the importance of, for him, of doing political comedy.

And the way he put it was that, like, challenging people in real time with provocative material is where the real feels happen. And I'm just curious to know your response to something like that. Is it just that a guy like him and a guy like you are almost working in two separate fields?

I remember you on The Tonight Show, 2016, and you did a couple jokes about how you like Donald Trump, but then the joke was basically like, because you're so stupid that you believe all the insane promises that he made. Yeah. But then in the same routine, you had these jokes about, well, you wouldn't vote for him.

In that instance, then the joke wound up being because you were essentially too stupid to figure out how to go vote.

But would you do material even on that level now?

Are there other topics like that that come to mind where you feel an instinct to go against the herd in that way?

All right, help me understand this aspect of you because I was thinking about it and I can't quite wrap my head around it. So you're this seemingly humble, low-key guy who is happy living on a cul-de-sac and doesn't want to go Hollywood.

But then you also alluded to ambitions to build Nate Land into, and this is your comparison, like a Disney level production, which is not a normal size goal, even for a famous comedian. So is there like another more aggressive side to you when it comes to business? Help me reconcile the two seemingly disparate sides of Nate Bargetzi.

I'm not buying the whole yokel stick, buddy.
