And I need like if there's I want to answer fans and I want to do that stuff. So let me know at the end of the week what I can answer. But I can't. I have like a very I'm a big like put your head down, get the work done kind of person. We tried taking it off the phone. I keep reinstalling it and I've never been addicted to something.

So in a couple ways, for me, it's less about the insecurity and it's more about combating weaponized ignorance and stupidity. So somebody's like, you're not funny. I'm like, okay, well, my houses that I own dictate otherwise. But I know only male athletes are allowed to talk like that. Me and Deion Sanders are like...

but it's more something deeply problematic and anti-Semitic, or it will be something deeply trying to be hurtful about being a woman, or it'll be something just so out of bounds that doesn't hurt my feelings. I get angry that that person like thought that they were worth, like, how dare you think that you're allowed to speak to me that way? And so it doesn't hurt my feelings, it's an anger.

And so that's harder because if it hurts your feelings, you're like, okay, why does it hurt my feelings? Let's look at that with anger. Then I start sweating. And then I find myself like on a Turkish Instagram page at one in the morning after doing a gig in Toronto, just like hitting C translation over and over.

Unwinnable. And I am the kind of person that thinks you can win every fight, not in a like, I told you so, but in a I deeply think like, oh, if I can just say the intelligent thing, surely they'll come around. And so I forgot the other part of the question, but I don't. I'm doing my, oh, you were talking about the social media of it all. It is hard.

I mean, if you're watching sports, right, you need to keep up with it. This new world of content and being forced to make it, it's amazing for so many reasons.

um and it's kind of like your pleasure is your poison like i used to love filming funny sketches and stuff like that but now and my team's doing their job when they're like hey could you do a collab with someone sometimes that person's great and sometimes you're like i don't know who this person is and like they're not a performer they just happen to get famous and now you've got to create this and so you're taking time away from something that you might otherwise be doing because all of a sudden like overnight

Well, so therein lies the silver lining. Because if you intellectualize it, you can say it was always there. They just didn't have the internet. Racism was always there.

It's not going anywhere.

The bad news is it's not going anywhere. And so it's about really learning how to calibrate. And I'm saying this as if I'm doing it. I'm doing my best to do it. I do not have a handle on this. And the content, you know, you... I don't think people fully internalize that when you look at something, it doesn't matter if you like it because you looked. It's almost like a horror movie.
