I guess as we get into it, I'm super curious.

When did you start getting into politics?

For me, it was 2007 is when I really started. So you've been in here. I For me, it was 2007.

Is when I really started.

So you've been into it.

I've been into it.

Yeah, I was,

it was Ron Paul running for president is what got me into it.

I first saw I'm in 2007.

And then I just got fucking obsessed with all this shit.

So yeah,

I weirdly,

I got kind of obsessed with politics like 10 years before America got obsessed with politics. You know what I was like I was the guy who was into it. And then once Trump came along and it was just, oh, everyone's, you know, like kind of more focused on it than ever before. Yeah. Because I mean, well, it got to a point where it's like you couldn't, it's like you couldn't avoid it. It became such a part of, I don't know, it felt like it was a part of everything, like pop culture, everything was just like leading to politics. So that's interesting, though, because now that you're at this point where you're obviously still a comedian, you still do show, you still perform and do all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I still do stand up. Has talking about politics affected that or has it benefited that or

hurt that? Well, it's, um, I mean, it's it in like in terms of like what I do, like in terms of like my,

my act or my material or stuff, it's always been like I joke around about a lot of different things. But like I've always, for a long time, I've been joking about politics and my standup. But then the podcast taken off just helped, you know, sell tickets a lot. So that's like, you know what I mean? Now it's, yeah, I'm playing a fuller rooms than I used to. So that's nice. Do you get more or less Jews at your shows?

You know, well, dude, it's like everything else like you know fucking like 40% of the Jews in New York City voted for Mom Donnie, right?

Yeah. So like there's this weird disconnect as is always been true right. Like there's this weird disconnect between, like, the Israel lobby and Jews.

Yeah.

You know, like, like, the Israel lobby sold the war in Iraq.

But Jewish Americans opposed it more than almost any other group.

And so, like, there's just, and I'm not saying there's no, like, you know, like, there's no connection to like jewish identity and supporting israel but

you'd be surprised about how many jews are totally on board with everything i'm saying i'm not
