Well, the whole book depository is very realistic. Oswald isn't in it. He just had great... I just thought he had just kind of like Woody Allen. I know he loved Woody Allen. Great misdirects. And when you listen to it now, a lot of it... It's kind of what a lot of good comedy is, where you take a hot button issue, but then you just have a joke that's just kind of about something else.
And that's really a lot of what his stuff is. It just feels kind of like modern comedy.
Him and Doug Standup definitely were my big influences. I loved you too. I loved your old, I loved your, I remember back when I listened to comedy albums. That was a different era, I guess, you know? Oh, wow, yeah. But I remember, I loved your bit about the tiger in the zoo, the monster in a box. Yeah.
I still think about that every time I'm in a zoo because they always make the cage look like they could possibly jump out.
This cage is secure unless a tiger gets really mad. But when's that going to happen?
That's a high. Yeah.
Well, one could survive, right?
Oh, that's how fierce tigers are. I'm not going to fuck you up. I'm going to fuck your friend up.
But I think about that bit every time at a zoo. They always make it look like the tiger can jump out. I'm like, why don't you just not make it look like that? Put a roof on the box.
The monster on the box.
We don't need to make it look like it can jump out. We don't need.
But it's a little different in the sense that their life outside of prison is pretty messed up. They're just getting killed.
I guess the zoo is better for the prey. Yeah.
Well, it's like, yeah, if that's jail, like, freedom of them just getting chased by... Like, if you were in prison and outside of prison, you could just get eaten at any time, prison wouldn't look so bad.
Exactly. And then they always put the tiger next to the giraffe or the lion just to fuck with them.
It's a little cruel. You imagine being a tiger and you're like, I can't believe this.
And then you forget because you have bad memories.
And it's always weird who gets the big space. At the Louisville Zoo, there's a wolf who just got fucking 12 acres, and then a snow leopard's in a little diorama with a cage on it. It's sick.
