Yeah, it's true. And then I think as far as it going away, you know, here's what I'll say to you. I just was saying this. I think what happened is we went through a terrible time. Like, if you remember the 80s, they tried it with the lyric censorship of those albums. Like when N.W.A., I thought, was such a great album. And then they started putting these warning labels on albums like Parents.
And it kind of made the albums blow up. Like, the albums still came out. And it made everyone buy them more. But I think they succeeded a little bit with the studio system. to say there's, you know, now we're going to decide what's funny, what's not, or what's joking, which is crazy, because it's of my opinion, like if you go back to Greek mythology, human nature has always been the same.

And, you know, clearly with entertainment, it's a place to explore. A song, a story is a place to explore rage or lust or selfishness or anything. It's the outlet. It's like MMA is the place to explore, or football, you know, not out on the streets, but most people, you know, watching a football game don't take that as a sign that they will get rewarded for tackling someone.

So I think there's just a lostness of like how dumb people must be to think like this is a how-to video. It was insane to me. And so I think we went through this reign of terror of being policed of like, you know, what is and what isn't versus leaving people their tone. But it never went away. And I mean that, Jason, from this. I think you guys can appreciate this.

The stand-up comics, when we were doing the big R comics, were not that huge, meaning there was a real run in the 80s. They all got their own TV shows. And, you know, people, you'd go on Carson and that was it. You were off to the races. That was the path, yeah. That was the path.

But then, like in the 90s, I did this documentary for some guys that I liked that were comics because there just wasn't opportunities. Well, then what happened was... The appetite from the audience for funny art, you know, adult, dangerous, shocking comedy never went away.

But because the studios weren't making them, you know, Bill Burr, who's great, and other comics like him started selling out Madison Square Garden. They started selling out the Forum. And Netflix started paying $20 million for those specials. instead of putting that money behind a story and a movie. So they never really went away.

Those guys were always, you know, making jokes in areas like Bill will make fun of, you know, having to stand up for veterans, which isn't an obvious path to the waterfall or, you know, men and women relationships. But people laugh and he gets to do it in a way where society appreciates it and no one takes it as a literal thing. So I think like it never went away. It really helped the standups.
