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.

Like it's kind of gross to me.

I had a joke that a woman got mad about.

And it was about, she said that I was making fun of Asians.

And like, I was in no way made, like she was drunk and I disagree with her.

And the joke I made was that like, I was talking about my body and like how I'm on a GLP-1.

And how I don't, like, I just, I never thought of myself needing medication for my body.

You know, like, and how I'm so, my fitness goals, like, at 41 are, like, just so modest.

I was like, I just want the same body as, like, an older Asian man.

Like, I feel like they have, like, the perfect t-shirt body.

And it's like, I didn't come to that.

just to talk about Asians.
