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, 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. Yep. 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. I need to go out in public and...

you know, be just as loud and redneck as they are, but just say a bunch of super liberal shit to like, you know, try to balance the scales. And then I would literally just scream a bunch of like really, really liberal political talking points, but in the most redneck fashion that I could. And it like, I closed with it. It always worked.

Even in like, like small comedy clubs and like Southern cities and stuff like that. Like it always worked because it's wild to say now, but in that time, you know, 2015 ish and like, It wasn't as like charged, the politics.

Right, so like people would... There'd be plenty of people in the crowd who were like, they were conservative, but they would still laugh at that bit because it was just like, that's just a funny juxtaposition. So it worked as a stand-up bit, and I had the idea to try to make internet videos out of it. And at first I was like, ah, man, but I'll have to buy a fancy camera.

I'll have to figure out how to edit things and light things. It all sounds so familiar. I don't know how to do any of that. And it just felt like a barrier to entry or something. And then one day I saw this preacher guy, like a deep south preacher somewhere in North Carolina, who was standing in the woods by a big truck, just yelling in his phone about like...

He was preaching fire and brimstone about the dangers of transgender people using the bathrooms with their little girls and all this type of stuff. And it's like not a dick joke inside. It wasn't funny at all. Just spewing venom. And it had like 20 million views or something like that on Facebook. Amongst people on the right, obviously. But when I saw that, I was like, oh, wow, okay.

If that guy doing that thing, if that's what I'm trying to make fun of or whatever, then I don't need to do anything fancy about it. In fact, that would be a mistake. That would be the wrong thing to do. I should just do exactly what this guy does. I should just pull my phone out and yell at it. Yeah. And once I had that sort of realization, I made the first one like in the next couple of days.
