And it's like, okay, well, if I can speak like this, you know, and I come down here and like I'm from the South, what does that even fucking mean?

Like the state of New York.

The state of New York isn't just New Yorkers.

Dramatically, yeah.

And I think everybody, you know, at some point, whenever you can kind of step out, you don't need the money.

Morally, you just don't think that it's right.

And you don't want to feel shame whenever you're visiting those places that you're just another part of the problem.

This is where the conversation ends.

And I wanted it to be where the conversation began.

And so on the third conversation we had, after I had turned it down twice, and I say that I'm not proud of it.

There's no ego involved in that whatsoever because I'm such a huge fan of Tim Oliphant and Michael Dinner, who was directing it and wrote a good bit of it, but Graham Yost, who wrote the pilot.

On the third time, I said, okay, I'll do it.

I'm the smartest person in the room, always.

After I say this very long speech in the pilot interview,

It was kind of crazy racist rant.
