- But I spent a lot of my time, last year, in America. The reason being was that last winter I turned single. And I broke up with this really good guy. I mean, Powell, I say I broke up with him, actually he broke up with me. (laughs) Which again, that's just language. It doesn't matter, it's just syntax, structure it's just English it doesn't matter what way I say it. I broke up with him he broke up with me it doesn't matter. I say potato, he says "you've got a really good heart but your persona
lity is a bit much." It doesn't matter! It was very interesting the things people would say to me once they realized I was single. Like one thing, do you guys say this? People would say "oh I heard you're back on the market" you say that here? You're back on the market, I heard you're back on the market back on the market, I grew up in an agricultural farming background, no good cow ever goes back onto the market. (laughter) What a thing to say. (laughter) The other thing that people would say,
you'd hear them say it often would be "do you think it's because men are intimidated by funny women?" Men are intimidated. (barks) Intimidated, threatened by funny women. Do you know what women are intimidated by? The fact that men can kill us with their hands. (laughter) and that's a fair swap, isn't it, I mean that's fine. Of course, and I joke but in fairness, Powell, I have no idea what it must be like from my priviledged position to be walking down a lay way at night potentially after a com
edy gig, and you've had a few beers and you're very nervous and you're phone's gone dead. Why didn't you get an uber at the time you idiot! And you're walking down a lay way and you've got your keys out, because at any moment a woman might jump out of a hedge and tell you a joke. And you wouldn't know what to do. She'd be like "pull my finger" and you'd be like (yells) Oh Jesus, you'd have to kill her. you would have to kill her. The panic of that.
