” I completely butchered that but something to that effect. So couching something in some humor is really the only way you can tell anyone truthful, anything truthful these days.

I suspect that for this audience, that Jon Stewart was probably a little left for you guys, but we miss some voice right now of sanity, that’s what we don’t have right now.

One of the things that I always say to the kids when I go to the schools is, I’m sure most of you guys saw Midnight in Paris, the Woody Allen movie. And the crux of the movie is that everyone thinks that if they only lived in another time that it was important then, if you lived in some other period that that’s when things were really happening.

I prefer, myself, to be a decent human being but at the end of the day… Look, go on Twitter for just a moment and search some words that you don’t like and you will see the most horrific things you can… Things that you truly cannot imagine you will see people say.

It’s a pretty small country. And I realized what it was, they have no tolerance for political correctness because when shit’s blowing up all over the place, you simply just can’t worry about what’s politically correct.

It’s the closest thing we have to a captive audience. And then there are commutes which, because we don’t price the roads at rush hour, ’cause we don’t listen to economists, many of those are about an hour long, so you get your podcast listened to in your commute.

Well, that’s a great question, because if you listen to the hysterics of the people on the left at the moment, they’re making it sound like Trump is cracking down on everyone’s free speech.

Their own viewing audience turned against it and once they found that out, they actually changed their rating system, because they didn’t want the public actually screwing with their rating system.

Just because, as I said, I can spend more time doing a podcast where I can suddenly reach, quite literally hundreds of thousands of people like that versus a club I can reach 20 drunk people and it has less value.

I think there is a little bit less because people are just realizing… The simple truth is anybody, you got a good idea and you can open a YouTube account and do it there. So people just see less utility for it and, by the way, I really think that’s okay as much as I loved stand up and I love spoken word stuff and live events and things like that, I think ultimately if you can figure out how to get to your people, which is why we do what we do, then whether you’re doing it in front of people or just in your room I think either one’s fine.

Yeah, so crowdfunding actually has been the greatest freedom that I could possibly imagine. So we started my show, don’t boo immediately, but at first I was with the Young Turks, which is a progressive, or regressive in my view, online news network, and we were with them for about a year and a half.
