All right? 234 00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:15,022 "Canceled" is when people yell at you on Twitter 235 00:09:15,122 --> 00:09:17,925 for, like, a joke. When you're getting canceled, 236 00:09:18,025 --> 00:09:20,260 you can put your phone on airplane mode and keep moving. 237 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,029 That's not what happened to Andrew Cuomo. Right? 238 00:09:22,095 --> 00:09:24,097 That wasn't the woke police, that was the police-police. 239 00:09:24,198 --> 00:09:26,033 It's a big difference.
