Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, Ryan Stout
Aw, thank you, everybody. Good evening, how are we?
I think as a bit of a, uh, a prologue to what I'm about to
Do here tonight, I have to tell you that when I'm on stage
I enjoy a very specific type of laugh from the crowd
My favorite laugh in the whole world is this kind of laugh
It's kind of a, "I support this, but not... publicly."
It's the same kind of laugh that I'm sure happens, like, if you see
Someone fall down the stairs... at the battered women's shelter
Oh, did you feel how different that was? Yeah, I love that laugh!
'Cause what happens with that laugh is down here, in this place
This place of, like, sadness, and human empathy, right in the pit
Of your gut, you go, "Oh, somebody's getting hurt! That's not good!"
And then, at the same time, up in this place, up in your brain, in
This place of logic and context
You go, "Well, that's, uh... perfect."
So, I guess what I'm saying, crowd- can I call you crowd?
Great. What I'm saying is, is during my portion of the show
If you find yourself in any way, uh, angry, or offended...
By a joke, what's happening is, uh, you're coming too much
From this place down here, and then up here, uh, you're stupid
So, do the work, everybody. That's all I ask
You have a job, too, here tonight, okay?
