I guess I just want everyone to have a good time at a comedy show.

And, like, there is a place for it.

And I do think there's, like, I think comedians that do it well can, like, really do it where they, like, they're really good at their sort of target selection that they, like, they're not punching down.

They're just, like, being political or, you know, really kind of dismantling a subject.

Or maybe they're, like, towing the line and then, like, making you really think about what you think about a certain topic.

Exactly.

It's such a skill.

Yeah, it can be masterfully done.

And I think on The Cheap Seats, we sort of try to a little bit toe that line as well.

Our show is more of a view on the media than it is of any actual news.

It's a lot of how is this topic covered more than, ha-ha, this is a crazy thing.

Let's laugh at the thing.

It's like, no, let's laugh at the camera falling over while they're trying to report on this very serious thing.

And so it's never really been like an urge of mine to like try and stoke the flames of things or try to be edgy.

But sometimes you will just like say something and people will interpret it in a different way than you intended.

And you just kind of have to cop that.

I think when people say like, you can't say anything anymore.

It's like, you can and you just, some people might get mad about it.

And that's kind of, you have to live with that.

Everyone has a different experience and a worldview.
