You can detect it in people very clearly.

There's a spider sense we have that we can't explain.

But right now, if somebody was in the room that I didn't know watching me behind my back, right, that wasn't here, I could feel it.

Do you know what I mean?

I don't know if it's sonar.

I don't know where it comes from.

But there's some way that you can sense a presence near you.

And I'm not talking about ghosts.

I'm just being, you can feel someone next to you, situational awareness.

Mm-hmm.

I think there's something similar to that where you can detect authenticity.

And for me, if you watch my show and you meet me in real life, I'm the same person.

I'm just slightly exaggerated.

A lot of other people that do what I do aren't the same person when you meet them.

Offstage, they're not the same.

Comedians, especially, are not the same people.

Actors and actresses.

Day and night.

By design.

Well, by design, but also it's shocking when you meet some people and you're like, oh, you're so different than what I expected.
