You think we're gonna be okay?

No!

I hope we're gonna be okay.

In the grander scheme of things, in a long... If you look long-term, we're all gonna die, so that's maybe some good news.

I don't know if I'm an optimist.

I will say, like, I get to talk to a lot of different people.

We cover the news.

You're probably feeling many of the things that I feel when you're inundated with these chaotic stories of war crimes, sex, islands, people who don't take accountability.

It's a scary, strange time we are in.

What where I garner a little bit of hope or where I've seen some of it recently is I'm doing this special that's coming out on Monday.

And for this special, there was a lot of talk about Donald Trump wanting the Nobel Peace Prize.

But what we started noticing is that he talks a big game about peace, but it doesn't feel like peace here back at home in places like Chicago and Portland.

And so we went to Portland.

where there was protests happening outside an ICE facility because of the cruelty that was happening inside.

And as a comedy show, it's hard to make comedy out of something like that.

It's a dark time.

But what they did was they threw a naked bike ride as a protest to what was happening inside the ICE facility.

So as a comedy show, we're like, there's dongs, there's boobs, we're going to this thing.

We have to do it.

And so we went there, and I'm like, oh, nobody's gonna show up.
