I Do Not Want To Encourage Heckling

Go Back And Read Sinclair Lewis - It Can't Happen Here Or Babbitt. For A Guy Or Girl Who's Going To Do An Hour Of Political Comedy, It Might Be A Little Rough, Sure. But I Think If You're Spending 10 Minutes Or Less, And You're Talking About - Not Necessarily [donald Trump] But His Supporters And The Media Coverage, There's All Kinds Of Angles To Explore. It Doesn't Just Have To Be Simply, "this Guy Is Crazy!" It's More About The Idea Of That Kind Of Guy Rising To The Prominence He Has, To Actually Become The Republican Candidate.

Once You Get Into The [donald] Trump Stuff, You Get People Going, "i Didn't Come Here To Have My Political Views Bashed."

I Think It Was There Before, But - Because Of Social Media, Too - There Are These People Who Fancy Themselves As Tolerant, And Don't See The Hypocrisy And Double Standard Of How They're Not Tolerant At All, And They're Just Strident And They Don't Listen. There's No Dialogue Anymore. That's Maybe, Truly, The Worst Part Of Trump's Legacy Is Just People Yelling At Each Other.

I Was In Antwerp - Which, I Had About 20 Shows Left At That Point - And A Guy Said, "that's Dave Attell's." Also, Antwerp Was My Smallest Audience, So The Guy Was Right There. I Was Like, "what?" He Said, "dave Attell Does A Bit About, 'why Are There Luggage Stores In The Airport?'" I Had Never Seen That, And I Would Never Ever, Ever, Ever - Please Believe Me - I Would Never Lift Material From Somebody Ever, And Certainly Not Knowingly.

I Do Lots Of Other Drugs But I Smoke Pot Maybe 5-10 Times A Year Now. I Used To Smoke It All The Time, But I Don't, And I Haven't For Awhile. That's Just Because It Makes Me - And I'm Not Saying This About Everybody Else - But It Makes Me Kind Of Dumb And Self-conscious.
