And so one of the producers of The Daily Show had worked...
with Louis Theroux.
So I'd asked him, hey, can you ask, is there anything, how does he get to the id of this ugliness?
How do you get through all of the poise?
And he said, as a British person, the one knife you have is make some glib remark about the Boers and the Boer War and all of a sudden things will change.
So like he's sitting down in his chair and he's,
Like, it's just, he seems very confident, very media practiced.
I made some comment as they're putting his thing and just the eyes change.
It's like, oh, anyway, oh, there's the human being that I came here to talk about.
It's a slightly sandy right testicle.
Geographically, I know it's not the main problem with that term, but it doesn't seem it works on any real geographic level.
Interestingly, it worked.
He was immediately spiky and it was easier to coax out the ugly.
He was less poised.
I'm kind of non-confrontational, but in those pieces- But you love stirring shit.
I love stirring shit up.
You really love stirring shit.
That's exactly it.
I love stirring shit up more than I love being a human being.
So all of a sudden, you have this excuse to be the worst version of yourself that secretly you love more than the other parts.
