It doesn't matter.

So if I think something, I can just talk about it.

Right.

So, like, if my dream, if I was a political correspondent and I wanted people to believe me, I probably wouldn't tell that dream.

I'd probably just tell my friends, like, that was fucking weird.

And I'd leave it alone.

I wouldn't treat it as, like, something that I needed to get out there.

I think most people like interesting things, but most people are saddled down by a structure.

And that structure could be the office politics in the place that you work.

It could be whatever your cultural or whatever your political ideology is, whatever your thing is.

Like you get stuck in this structure where you have to think about things in a very specific way and talk about things in a very specific way.

Some things are shunned.

In the comedy world, those shunned things are ammunition.

That's our weapons for comedy.

I want to talk about things that are fucking weird.

I want to talk about the things that make you go, oh, yeah, I didn't want to say that.

But I've been thinking the same kind of thing.

But that might be real.

That might be what's going on.

That is what's discouraged in polite society is encouraged as a comedian.
