I feel people see this way but I don't know if you agree do you think people get frustrated when they
can't put you in a box or they'll say things like oh Ryan's like a fence sitter or he's a liberal or
he's a secret whatever I get the sense that people like you don't come out and say your position
on things you're just trying to be funny and make sketches but I feel like people will see that and
they just they really want to figure out what team you're on so they can know what box to put you in
yeah people want to figure out like on like on you if people think that uh the you align with
them they get mad that you won't do it if you then the other way yeah of course but that's
like how people's brains work right so it really is uh I get like I get the like brain mechanism
where people's brains can't have just a bunch of people that they can't place right so it's like
it's very it's very uh hard for them but like so people are just gonna misplace you forever but the
people that actually pay attention to you like how many times have you been like a fan of someone and
someone would be like oh he just thinks this and you're like what are you [ __ ] like you
know like anyone that's like popular I think is going to be like misrepresented and ideally the
more clear you are to the people that actually follow you the the more that it just discredits
them like in some ways if you're people all like know what you think and people are trash talking
you and they're saying things that aren't true it's like almost better because they're like you
know if someone was arguing if someone argued that like my like my arms I need to work out harder you
know what I mean like you'd be like your people might be like oh that might be making a good point
if someone argued that I'm like too fat like you know what I mean Ryan's too fat you just be like
what are you even talking you know what I mean yeah so if if it just sometimes it just makes
people's arguments like so out of left field that you're like that's not even close to what this guy
thinks so I think that happens to yeah any anyone that has like any sort of like a nuanced opinion
and I think sometimes people will see just like a slice of your personality and they'll think that
that represents the whole of you like I think I saw someone was talking about like Elsa Jean
this like porn star who I had on my show and they're like well Elsa did Chrissy Mayer's show
and she's a conservative podcaster so she must be I'm like okay I just still think it's funny when
people call me a conservative but I'm I probably am more of that than like a foaming at the math
liberal but then you'll see people that'll be like oh she has sex workers on her show like she
you know she's definitely not a conservative she's she's trash she's liberal or whatever
um and it's like uh it's okay to kind of be all those things again like I'm not trying
to be like abundant and represent like I'm just trying to be funny and I don't know if anything
maybe more libertarian but again like but I think that even yeah what you're saying like
people that's that's people that like don't understand how culture is moving like that is
a huge pocket of like if you look at you know hip-hop and like you know black red Bill guys
like whatever you want like that whole Bryson gray or uh I don't know him specifically if he
would fit into like what I'm about to say but I was gonna say like you know guys that you know
kind of thought Trump was cool but also we're into like getting [ __ ] and like strippers and
all that [ __ ] right do you know what I mean like that that's like a huge like type of thing that
exists like it's kind of like a masculine more culture it's like I mean being a patriot yeah I
don't know if that's just loving Trump I think I think they I'd be more it's way more of like
a like a masculine thing they're just like you know this like liberal shit's like for girls you
know what I mean I think that but that there's all these like Pockets that people like want
to ignore exist so they just try to put it into categories but really it all kind of boils down
to more like male woman decentralized centralized like those are probably the two feminine masculine
centralized decentralized they're probably the two spectrums that to me actually makes sense
the liberal conservative one like they've engulfed too many different things that are not even alike
you strike me as a little bit maybe more of like a libertarian if you had to go somewhere maybe
I don't know I guess I think it depends on this you know what I always think it probably depends
on what scenario I'm in if I was in a scenario where it was like complete Anarchy I might be
like all right there needs to be some order here it probably makes more sense for us to like pull
some money together to get the roads but like or whatever it is but if you're in a scenario like I
see a lot of those things as like medicine more than I see them as like uh like uh overarching
philosophy sometimes but if you're in a scenario that like everything's getting so centralized
you're like yeah we need to decentralize this but I also see I don't know like what answer is
there either that like it any society like just naturally kind of becomes more socialist that's
just like what happens so the only you're not like the answer to that if you if you want to
do anything like like new and important it has to sort of be outside the box so it has to be sort
of like outside that system it's just like I don't see like much way around it like if you want to do
anything like really like interesting like whether that be a new company or like new technology or
like you know a comedy that it has to operate outside the system so like naturally you have to
be kind of like finding like a decentralization which I guess like is libertarian yeah give me
an example of this of what you're talking about okay like right now they had the like
um industry of Comedy right and that became like increasingly more centralized where it's like
hey like at some point it was more all over the place and then it became like here are the four
Studios here's the system if you want to be a comedian you know there's this Comedy Central
then you could do the late night like it became very systemized is what it is right so anyone and
then I'm like a track you'd be like that's like that's the main track and as Things become more
systemized they all be they also become more like regimented and people sort of start to do
the same thing because they go this is the thing that works they start the rules become more clear
like you can't say this here like if you want to if you want to be part of this system like
this is what works you work clean like let's say you need to have these balls like it all just it
all just becomes more like systemized and then people can try to be outliers but why would you
like it doesn't make any sense that's the path to a success and that's why I like why would you
fight that forever you know it's almost those fights that you like even in like anyone who
works like at a TV show like you can be the guy that you know or in a relationship like you pick
your battles like you don't you like you if you have a different philosophy eventually you just
kind of like settle in a little bit and pick your bat so I think that the same thing happens so if
you want to do anything different like the only thing you can do is sort of you know push for
like a decentralization so I think that like it's always there's always going to be like a push for
like creating new systems from people that want to do you know like Innovative things and then there
will always be uh like a push for centralization for people who uh like want sort of like a more
comfortable society which is most people so that and that that uh fight will probably just always
take place forever like that San Francisco became like super centralized now all those all of the
like certain people that were in Tech all moved to like Austin and they're kind of starting again
like Peter thiels of the world like so it's like that fight just goes on everywhere in the world
for all of history so it's I don't know if anyone would be like yeah it'll just be like this perfect
you know it'll be this or it'll be that like when people say libertarian it's like if you had the
perfect libertarian Society it would just slowly drift back to so like even it's like they're
never they're always like uh it's just like these constant like battles that always exist I think
yeah Liberty libertarianism is like by definition outside of the norm if they were ever welcomed
in truly as like a third party how would that how would that change things sort of like a different
like they have a very there's like two types of probably people that there's there's people that
are like oh we'll be a party and sort of change culture and then we'll you know kind of make a
difference in politics probably and then there's the people that are like Hey we're gonna like
create a new like country on the web and I think those people are probably actually the ones that
actually make differences more than people that enter politics is that like change like in a lot
of ways you know like uh actually this guy Balaji uh on my podcast he's like probably one I think
it's like one of the smartest guys what's his name Bellagio biology but it never pronounced his last
name you know this guy's like the man he's coming on my podcast so probably people can uh see it uh
very soon but it is srinivasan but I can't I'm not gonna pronounce it Indian names but it's
like I feel like he's a good guy that points out the idea like the idea that like remote work did
more to change society than you know than any laws or whatever you know what I mean or the fact that
you can like hire someone in working in India like that's gonna do so much more for libertarianism
then you know what I mean than anything else like the like kind of uh technology and like
decentralization and [ __ ] Cowboys and the new Silicon Valley I feel like by uh actually action
will do the same reason why I think comedians do way more to change people's opinions than probably
people had daily wire ever will but because that's not what they're there for they're there for to
you know sort of be like a mouthpiece for like one side of like a cultural norm and that's like
doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist need to matter but I don't think it like changes anything
yeah another people some people don't want change right but like I just think when you're talking
about the like Libertarians versus the socialism it's like the ones who really change like the way
that the world will work probably don't even like bother themselves with thinking about whether it's
good or bad they just kind of like do things that change the world do you think it's important for
a comedian like yourself to not really take one side politically one way or the other
maybe it could just be you personally like uh you know I just don't think I've been that way I just
don't think I like have one like in that sense I mean you have your own natural inclinations
but like Society always changes so if if uh if you have uh even if you have like if you're in
touch with like who your personality and your sentiment I think for most people like well then
as soon as everything changes and like different things become to different terms like if you say
you're a I'm a this and then they go oh we think this now like you know if you look at even in the
last four years like the fights that all these sides have had they've changed drastically you
know like what the big like what the big pushes are and what like the consensus that we're all
fighting against like that changes so quickly so I mean in the few if you want to be like lockstep
with that then you you're probably not that in touch with what you actually think you're just
kind of like yeah I'm just like uh I'm gonna get on board with what like the people around me think
right so it's it's just like no no what issues you care about but that's true when you kind
of join up with a side you're you're gonna be a little bit subconsciously like oh well
some people can create also like people naturally get carried away right so it's like it's like
almost human nature to get carried away you know what I mean so in a lot of ways like during the
riots yeah the Summer of Love whatever whatever like Group whatever uh the amount of thing
times that I've had like a very strong opinion and even you it doesn't have to be political
like imagine that you have an opinion that I I think that this band is the best band and then
they be the world starts to agree then they're on every channel and then they're everywhere and then
every everywhere you go everyone's talking about how great they are and at some point the level of
they're everyone's saying they're great is higher than how great they actually are and then you
become the person being like I mean they're not that great now all of a sudden your take becomes
so you're always in some ways arguing against consensus so it's like and then what side of you
or what side do you take against the consensus becomes like which they'd not be your side of
the argument but really so I think in comedy a lot of times I find myself arguing against
like what the popular opinion is more than I find myself arguing for a specific like thing that is
a really good description of what you do because I'm going to share this video you're looking at
the discrepancy right if everyone says this is amazing and you're like it's medium then you're
arguing that it's bad if everyone says it's medium and I think and it's you know if anyone says it's
terrible and I think it's medium then I'm arguing it's good so you're kind of like you're like what
is the consensus and how do I go against or how do I at least poke holes if I disagree with it
if I agree with it I usually just don't talk about it because if I you know there's been a few times
where lots of times probably where everyone thinks something and I actually do agree with
it and you're like well there's probably no point in me making a video that I agree with like what
everyone's already saying everywhere yeah what the trans movement is toxic no way I love this is
a section of this video uh that you put out gosh like last week advertising in 10 years and it's
all about like BlackRock taking over all the like I guess major properties and like it was Procter
and Gamble but now it's just gamble because Proctor was spreading misinformation during the
but that's all behind us because Mr Clean is now MX clean and we're happy to announce that he's
in a wheelchair and neurodivergent speaks Stephen Hawking style if you remember that guy typewriter
time to clean still as gay orgies despite the disabilities if you look at the back of the box
there's a list of MX cleans favorite wheelchair accessible bath houses but that's not all folks
MX clean has and you guessed it oh no dyslexia the words on the box will be scrambled if he
can't read them no one can count chocula pronouns Vamp South Gay necrophiliac and there's nothing
wrong with that a couple bodies on the box he's eyeing them little wink to the kids let him know
stuff's about to go down Jolly Green Giant is now the Jolly queer regular the best part the queer
regular is blind and [ __ ] but also the CEO of a BlackRock hedge fund because there's nothing the
queer regular can accomplish and lastly M M's are just being replaced with a bunch of black
guys that's right we've managed to purchase the likeness of all members of 90s R B group Bone
Thugs-N-Harmony and you just talk about like one was like fruit loops and like Toucan Sam like he
can't smell so we're cutting off the noses of of everybody around him and you talk so fast
I think it's hard for the algorithm to flag you yeah I I do get flagged sometimes but sometimes
they beep stuff out and then yeah there's like tricks to do but yeah I feel like that always
makes me laugh like the idea that we're happy to announce he's [ __ ] like I love the idea of like
being excited to announce that like our new mascot has like disabilities it's like such a funny thing
yeah you're celebrating uh ineptitude well I always I remember I've never been able to
like properly make this a joke but there was I can't remember it was kind of there was like an
article and it was like I just want to say that um you know people were saying that this guy in
a wheelchair like there's something worse about being in a wheelchair and I was like it's pretty
objectively worse to be in a wheelchair like I think that even like someone in a wheelchair
would be like yeah given the choice I wouldn't have this like you go I don't know the parking is
better yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you get you don't have to wait in line at amusement parks there you
go he's not less of a person but I think that if you if you're saying one's not it's not better
to not be that like it's clearly not better to be that than that like oh that one always like
sticks with me is like so funny like it's almost like pause like positive would be like lose your
leg you're like yes love you guys thank you for the chats thank you for the comments I will see
you guys tomorrow bye bye all right love you guys uh I don't even want to leave this candle smells
