The words can always be the words, but that was another thing we learned as a kid.

Yeah.

The words don't matter.

It's all the actions.

And so that's all I'm going off of is a politician or a political leader or a religious leader or people who locally want to go out and be religious and be sort of street evangelicals.

Just listening to them, feeling them, sensing what energy they're putting beyond religion.

What they're saying, I'm sorry, I'm like, that just, to me, doesn't line up with Jesus, and it doesn't line up with improving the world or opening people's eyes.

So, sadly, I think religion is really kind of a...

A communal club.

It's another great example that we as humans crave community.

That's unfortunate that it's now been tainted.

A year, about a year.

Yeah, I'm addicted to it.

Me too.

My earliest days of doing stand-up, I just always was drawn to hypocrisy, even my own.

And I got to say, you can become a better person through your craft if I'm going to go on stage and talk about other people's hypocrisies that I'm confronted by my own.

And I have to say also, if I'm going to go on stage and talk about...

someone else's behavior, then I have to confront my own past behavior and reconcile, do I think I'm an improved person now?

I think a lot of people just want to be born into a world where they go, this is what I was taught and this is who I am and this is how it is.

It's wildly bland and incredibly boring.
