And I'm always like, why would you do that?

Like, what is it that you need this?

Yeah.

You know, like, I'm such a... I'm such a, like, a not-get-involved-with-those-issues guy.

Do you know what I mean?

Like, not that I'm, like, on... Those are women's issues.

I kind of have this, I have this kind of thing with my standup.

I, you know, when I first started standup, I would try to talk about like issues or, you know, I try to get involved and,

Because you want to like have a voice.

And I think it's a young guy thing to do.

And over the course of doing stand-up, I really feel good about only saying I, me, I, like sticking to I statements.

And I think that's harder to do as a standup because if you say men do this, you're almost like taking yourself out of it.

You're now employing the group and saying we all do this.

But if I say I do this thing that's uncomfortable, now I have to own it and I have to trust that you'll

do the bridging to the group of men on your own or to your husband or to your boyfriend.

And it is generally, I think it's a lesson for life that like when you say I versus we, it's harder to do.

Yeah.

You know, and if I can't do I, then I don't do the joke.

Like,

That's why like when I see people talk about like trans issues on stage and there's no reason for them to talk about it, I'm kind of like you're a hot take artist and you're using this group to get off, to make money.
