F-cking whirlwind, goddamn.” He emphasized, “Lot a marshmallows, man. They’re delicious, but goddamn, they’re soft. I just come from a different time. I see the changes that are happening. I get it, but goddamn, can we f-cking laugh at ourselves?” Jo joked that he had a feeling no one in that audience watched the award show. “Oh my god,” he continued. “It feels good to live in this country. We get to say what we want to say. Don’t be apologetic about it at all. Be able to speak your mind.” Jo recently responded to Taylor‘s viral reaction to the NFL-related joke about her. Greta Gerwig also shared her thoughts on the the Barbie joke – and what she had to say was surprising.
