Police, military, nurses, anyone who deals with real life is very good audience members.

They can take a joke.

Yeah, great at taking jokes.

And they need to see the humor in life, you know?

They're looking for a clown to laugh at because they deal with real shit.

But that aside...

In the last eight years, when cops tell me they're cops at shows, it's like, hey, you know, I'm a police.

And I'm like, what's with this embarrassment?

Like, why do you feel like you need to be like an undercover police officer when you're like.

Whisper it.

Yeah.

Why?

I like cops.

I think that they're great.

They have to go into someone's worst day of their life every day.

Anytime you've ever had to call a cop, it's not a great day.

It's not a great thing that's happening.

And they have to enter someone's worst day every 15 minutes or every hour.

And I have a tremendous amount of respect for people that do that.

And they feel ashamed to be a cop because they've been vaguely blanketed as like oppressors or racist or some sort of power hungry bad guys.
