I have no recognition or awareness of that because I haven't really seen people. And it's just, I don't even know how this has changed my life in terms of fame. I spent years imagining putting this show out and going out to a party and feeling like the most accomplished version of myself. You know what I mean? But I'm certainly able to be like, "Wow, more people are watching this now that this is happening." On the one hand, obviously it's a horrible time for humanity and it's just weird for everybody and I can't even imagine being the type of person who lives paycheck to paycheck and how f***ed up their lives are right now. Is it strange seeing how successful the show has been in such a troubling time? More people are potentially watching your show than might have if this pandemic wasn't going on, but it’s also providing a lot of people relief. Obviously there are times where I'm like, "Man, this is going to be weird," but I'll never let it impact the creative. Yeah, I've kind of committed to putting it all out there and I think they know that. So, it’s awkward, but there's no level of shame?
Actually, there's a surprising amount of older people that like the show, which is great. Obviously they're biased, but I do think that they would like the show even if I wasn't their son. They're big fans of comedy television and actually love the show. But at least now they can kind of relate more to the material. Fortunately, at least they've had five years of me being an absurd rapper to kind of ease them into this type of thing. I try to warn them about things in advance. It was definitely weird to sit next to them during that premiere. How do you feel about them seeing scenes where you're performing kinky or uncomfortable sex acts? That’s basically all of episode three. I'm guessing you have a pretty good relationship with your parents in real life, too. Your character, Dave, has a close relationship with his parents.
