I lived in Knoxville, and I had a manager in L.A., and I'd gotten into this writer's development program that NBC had and all this stuff.
So I was feeling pretty encouraged by it, but I was in complete anonymity.
No one knew who I was or anything like that.
Couldn't sell any tickets or nothing.
But I still was pleased enough with how it was going.
And then I decided to make these internet videos.
At the time in stand-up, I was closing with this bit about the simplest thing.
But it was basically just... On a set list, if I wrote it out, I called it the liberal redneck bit.
No, yeah, you're right. I mean, it was both of those things are true. Like I had started I started stand up in 2010 in Knoxville, Tennessee, where I was living at the time. And and I had been doing it for like, you know, six years or whatever. And it was going fine. Like for all things considered, I lived in Knoxville and I had like a manager in L.A. and I'd gotten into this.

But I never said the words liberal redneck on stage.
It was basically, I said, you know...
Everybody that hears this accent assumes I'm one type of person, like a Bible thumping troglodyte, because that's the only time you ever hear this accent in the media.
It's that type of person.
But I'm not that type of person.
So I got to figure something out to try to balance the scales.
I got to find a way.
