Also welcome to 45 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: the days of totally oversharing on social media, but still 46 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: mind your own business. 47 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: Yeah you can't.

Yeah, yeah, you can't 49 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 3: say anything. You go, oh, I'm getting so fat, you 50 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: can almost feel the whole room. Just go, what's going 51 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: to happen here? Where's this going? Am I allowed to say? Anything, 52 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: and it's like, do. 53 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: You like keeping people in that uncomfortable moment occasionally? 54 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 3: Yes, Like I start off with and if people have 55 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 3: been to the show, they know it's it's kind of 56 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 3: because it sort of tests the audience too and what 57 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: our tolerance level is. So I start off with the 58 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 3: story about my mum and her cat, and you know, 59 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 3: it starts off real nice, but then it goes real dark, 60 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: but it's not really dark, and then I go let 61 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: me tell like, oh, tell you how you want it 62 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 3: to be. Then I tell them how they want it 63 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: to be. Then I go, now, let me tell you 64 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: how I think we should do it. And at the 65 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 3: end they're just howling because they go, yeah, it's not 66 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 3: that like, it's not that bad. Yeah, if you just listen, 67 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 3: because I mean, every story has two sides, right, Yeah, 68 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 3: one is always wrong and the other one is mine. 69 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: And it's part of that too, that it's part of 70 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: that at the beginning of the night is working out 71 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: the boundaries of your audience, Like some nights, are they 72 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 2: more cautious than others? 73 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: No? 74 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 3: At this point I think because I sort of I 75 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: don't I don't push too hard, like because I don't 76 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: ever want anyone to feel uncomfortable in the room. So 77 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 3: I wouldn't pick a topic that is too you know 78 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 3: that I can push too hard. Like if you pick 79 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 3: something like we're playing basketball, you know no one's getting 80 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: like it today because we're playing basketball. So even if 81 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 3: you play hard or you play you know not as 82 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: you don't let the kids get the you know, you 83 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 3: go for the basket, come hell or high water, right, 84 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: but you know it's not going to escalate it too much. 85 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: So if I just picked topics that can't go to offensive, 86 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: then you sort of have already tested the audience, like 87 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: I've pre tested for them, so they don't need to 88 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: you've lived to the limit. Yeah, yeah, I don't want 89 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: you know, I don't want people to be uncomfortable. 90 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 4: It's like non destructive testing. I used to know a 91 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 4: guy and he did non destructive testing. Well, you know, 92 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 4: they have destructive testing. So you get a cup and 93 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: you and then you break it. Non destructive testing. They 94 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: get to a point and then the cup starts to fraction. 95 00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: They go, that's. 96 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: Enough, Well you don't need to break the whole cup. 97 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: The minute you see the crack, you go that we 98 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 3: know what's coming. You don't need to slash Twitter. Yeah, yeah, Twitter. 99 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 3: You start off with a broken cup and then people 100 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 3: smash it more and then blame you for not having 101 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: a cup. 102 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: Wellula, it's so great.
