and she was always very nice to me.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Are you bringing the hardcore, the hardcore, straight edge political
comedy this time?

Speaker 1 (03:31):
No good, No.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I I try to applad that at all costs. Unfortunately,
we're at a point in our life and society that
you can't make a joke about either party without thousand
people getting offended and seek here one way or another.
When I first started, you could make a joke about
the opponent and it was just a joke. Now it's

(03:59):
a death threat.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah, he's not wrong, Josh blew something to stare at.

Speaker 1 (04:04):

you're still touring.

It must be tough, though. You got kids back home
in Colorado. You must miss them.
