And they leave.

And then the next day they come back.

And they say "Anthony,

sorry to bother you again.

I know you didn't care yesterday,

but it's gotten much worse.

You're gonna wanna hear this."

They say, "Someone

from New Zealand tracked down

your mom and dad's phone number

and address in Pittsburgh,

posted that online...

and now your entire family is getting

death threats from New Zealand."

And I have to admit,

that had never occurred to me before.

It never crossed my mind...

that my family, my loved ones,

would ever pay the price,

be caught in harm's way,

for something I've done

or I've joked about.

And honestly, I would

cut my throat for my jokes.

I would give my life for what I do.

But if anyone,

and I mean this for a fact,

if anyone ever hurt my family

or killed someone I cared about

because of a joke I've made?

Even better.
