- Comedians have gone up against Louis.
- Yeah.
- Well, I mean, I was talking to some--
- Comedians have said this guy
should not be able to ever perform again.
- Yeah, I mean, I taught, you know, they all come--
- You know, if you're a murderer--
I'm sorry. - No, no, no, go ahead.
- I'm sorry.
But if you're a murderer, you go to jail,
and they let you off, whatever, 20 years later,
and then you try to get a job as a busboy.
And if the guy says, "I'm not hiring that guy,"
he murdered, you know?
And you go, "But he did his penance," you know,
and now you give him a job.
That's the humane thing to do.
And people go, "Well, what about the murdered person?"
And you go, "Well, of course, he got worse."
You know? - Yeah.
- The guy that lost his life, he's doing worse.
But it doesn't mean you can't forgive
or it's impossible to forgive.
I also don't feel anyone owes me an apology in public, you know?
I think, personally, that you owe an apology
to anybody that you did ill to.
You owe an apology to people that your actions hurt
in a financial way or in an emotional way.
But nobody owes me an apology, you know?
- So that's where your shock about comedians comes from.
Yeah, yeah, because I don't understand why they're so, you know,
I guess I just don't understand how there can be no rules, you know?
I mean, if rules are drawn out and set down, then that's one thing.
But, you know, I always thought the audience would decide
whether you're an objectionable comic or even a good comic, you know?
And so Louie went up here at the Comedy Cellar and the audience let him know.
I don't know what happened, I wasn't there.
But if the audience don't like him, then the club won't book him.
I mean, that's how things work.
And, you know, just because your heart can break
for more than one person at the same time, you know?
And a person can do a bad thing and you can feel sorry for that person
while feeling worse for the person that had the bad thing done to them.
This is all so self-evident.
And it's hard for me to unpack, but I wanted to use the word unpack.
