Runk. And let's go and let's have lunch. Remember I told you about that, you guys?
Remember I told you about that, everybody in this world that ever listened to Congratulations podcast?
I had a foreign exchange student when I was in high school and he said he was Japanese.
No.
Was he Japanese or Korean?
Well, started off the podcast racist, but I don't remember.
I think he was actually Korean.
Started off the podcast racist, but I don't remember.
I think he was actually Korean.
And he said, hey, Chris, I've been trying to learn my American accent.
Do you want to hear it? And I said, yeah.
And he said, he leaned into me and said, let's have lunch.
And that's it.
And we should stop the show after that because it's not going to get better than that.
But that did happen.
And I'll never forget it.
But the – actually, my son said something super funny the other day.
Hold on.
Let me take my magic mind.
Housed it.
It's small, so you can house it.
But I housed it.
Magic mind. So I am putting my son to bed last night. Actually, he said a few funny things. Oh, no, this is the thing he said. He said,
putting my son to bed last night, right? I do it. It it's my thing i love doing it i have um
a uh i you know sometimes i'm out of town so i don't get to do it so when i am home i make sure
to do it and uh brush his teeth put him in bed and um we're laying there and he you know he'll
sit up and sometimes and he'll go back down but he said he he looked at me and he said what the can i say that and i said can you say what
what the i said you what the yeah he said can i say what the heck i said yeah you can say what
the heck sure yeah and he said hey dad i have a secret for you. And I said, what? And he leaned into my ear and he said,
I can't say shit, right?
And I said, well, yeah, you can't say,
I mean, dude, the breath,
the exhale of the in my ear just,
I can't say shit, right?
And I said, well, yeah, you shouldn't say it buddy i mean it's a bad word but it's one of those things that if you say it it's it's it's not like you're gonna
get in trouble but from us but you know if you say it around other people they might take it the
wrong way and it's a little bit disrespectful like if you say it to uh other grown-ups they might think it's disrespectful but if you say it to other kids
then they might get home and they um might say it to their parents and then they'll say where did
you learn that then they'll say from you and then they'll be in trouble and then my son said and
then they'll get in jail.
And I just said yes, because I don't want to deal with it.
All good, dude.
So you get in jail if your kid says shit.
I don't know, but it was really cute, dude.
And I literally live for moments like that, so it's all good. I live for the moment.
Through it. I'm respectful of my disrespect um
anyway it's been a blast dude it's been a blast with this shoulder pain man love it

you a referral for an MRI and I go dude all I wanted let's do it so can't wait to get into that
all I wanted, let's do it.
So can't wait to get into that cylindrical where it's just so loud, dude.
And then before you go in, they're always like,
now listen, some people experience anxiety.
If you experience anxiety, just hit this red button
and this and that.
And I'm just like, dude, I think this will be okay.
It's just a loud noise, right?
Like, I don't care about that at all.
Like, if I know if it's coming, I don't care.
Like, yeah, it's about 10 minutes. I was like was like okay they freaked me out before i even went in i went
in piece of cake dude um yeah i was in that thing like just it was
came back all good just muscle stuff but yeah um anyway, anyway, I'm going to do an MRI.
And I was like, dude, I was like, yo, just, I said to the doctor, I was like, listen, man.
He's like, maybe we could do physical therapy.
I just don't want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
I was like, oh, man, I'm at the point now.
I'm like, just give me, can we just do surgery?
Like, I don't even care.
I have to get my colonoscopy.
Boy, that's creepy.
Tell me more about that. All I want to do is just i don't just fix my body however it works like fix it i'll go under i don't i'll go under for honestly

and there we go and okay and oh i put too much in about two seconds. And there we go. And okay.
Oh, I put too much in.
Okay.
So he died.
I mean, you know, how much?
They put fentanyl in there, dude.
Ow!
Fentanyl.
You ever see the cop open up the back trunk and there's fentanyl in a box?
And he just opens the box and he just goes, pizza.
Oh, hey, dude.
Tell my family I love them.
Oh, dude.
Fentanyl just like the forest gump feather. Ring, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Ring, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

Dude, just straight up Fentanyl
You can't be around fentanyl
Without it affecting you, dude
It's like Andy Dick

Dude, if you have fentanyl anywhere
Within like, I mean, dude, just Google it
Cop passing out from fentanyl

Ring-da-da-ding, ding-ding.
Ring-ding-ding.
Ring-da-da-ding, ding-ding.
Tell my wife I love her.
Dude, he just went and hit the gravel, dude.
They put that Narcan on him, though, dude.
That's why he keeps my Narcan on me, dude, just in case I get a sniff of fentanyl.
But anyway, dude, that's how they do it with, what do you call it, anesthesia.
And count backwards from 100, and there we go.
And you should be going out soon, and there we go.
And okay, now just breathe, and there we go.
And I put too much, he's dead.
That's how quick it happens.
Too much fentanyl, sorry, he died, so anyway, dude, you know,
but they do die from that, but I'm just like, just fix my body at this point, I'm 44, and like,
I haven't worked out in a few weeks, and I'm like, oh, I, now I'm actually an old man, so,
like, I bent down the other day, I was just like oh I bet this looks
so bad you know I'm like I bet this looks just I better look like a fucking praying mantis
you know I mean just a clothed praying mantis I bet I just look like, you know, I was like creeped out, hunched.
And I'm like, I don't work out for the past few weeks because of my shoulder.
And I'm just like, and every time I say my shoulder, my son says, just take three deep breaths.
And I'm like, I only say that to you because it's a trick.
Take three deep breaths breaths and I do it
and he's like feel better and I'm like yeah
because I got to keep up the lie now
you know
I just want him to be like
take three deep breaths
and I go like it's a lie and Santa's not real
um
anyway
um I don't know man so i guess i'll get an mri can't wait maybe i'll live
stream it can't do that though right because of the uh the magnetic stuff take your belt off there
was a guy who had like something in him like a uh like like a sexy kinky thing like a like a sexy kinky thing, like an anus plug or something,
and he had it in his bum, and it was metal,
and he didn't tell the doctor, went to the MRI,
ripped up into his chest, all good.
That was Jeremy Renner and Tupac on that one.
But yeah, that was just, I mean, could you imagine?
Oh, you know what?
Wait, you know what?
I haven't mentioned something.
I'm wondering.
was just, I mean, could you imagine? Oh, you know what? Wait, you know what? I haven't mentioned something. I'm wondering if just the fuck, just the thing from the, just getting taken out by a,

Just in your heart and just tell my wife. I love her. Tell my husband. I love him.

i i know i've met boxers before but i i don't know really i don't know boxers know a lot of ufc guys
um and uh he comes in and he goes oh man i don't know what i'm doing dude why am i what am i doing
and i'm like and everyone's like he's so nervous like his camp is with him yeah like i think boxers have to roll
with like nine at least nine people i don't think that boxers can be around without it is weird that
boxers are always around nine people and like two of them are bodyguards and also they could kick
the shit out of anybody boxer so um but anyway he shows up
and he's like oh man i'm so nervous i don't know what i'm doing and i was like
dude it's well you don't have to do it he's like no i want to do it i want to do it now let me
tell you something dude it's so weird to see a guy who is on top of his game, right? And one of the best in his field, then do another thing. And all of a sudden
they are, and it's not, it has nothing to do with talent. You're just, when you begin something,
you're bad at it. Okay. Period. You go look at my, look, I have talent as a standup comedian.
You go look at my early gigs, bad, okay?
Yeah, you can tell there's a hint of something there.
However, bad.
The badness seeps in.
Or rather, you have to let the goodness seep in.
Whatever it is.
Poetry, dude.
And I didn't even mean to.
But so he comes up.
He's like, oh, man, I'm nervous.
I'm like, well, you don't have to.
He's like, no, I'm going to do it, dude.
I got to do it.
I was like, what are you going to say?
He's like, I don't really know. I've been working on i'm like well you don't have to he's like no i'm gonna do it dude i gotta do it i was like what are you gonna say he's like i don't really know i've been working
on some stuff but i don't really know i was like weren't you just at a poker game like he was just
at a poker game with namor and some other athletes and then another guy and he you know he had lost
like tens of thousands of dollars or whatever he had his pants down ron garcia i don't know him
and i'm just like i can't wait to meet this larger than life guy. So he shows up like nervous, which is like adorable.
Okay.
It was honestly quite adorable because the guy is on top of his game.
Right.
And then also he's nervous about something that, that, that also he's looking to me for
like advice and help, which is adorable.
So I'm like, okay, well, here's your advice.
It's not going the way that no matter what happens,
it's not going to be the way you think it is.
Everyone laughs like his camp.
So he's like, I'll bring you on stage.
And then he goes, hey, dude, will you stay up there with me?
Which is adorable.
And I go, yeah, sure. Yeah, awesome. I'll stay up there. I'll Which is adorable. And I go, yeah, sure.
Yeah, awesome.
I'll stay up there.
I'll make sure shit doesn't go crazy, go south.
Because shit can, let me tell you, dude,
shit can go south, right?
Shit can go south real quick.
If you don't know how to deal with it on stage,
the second you gulp,
the second somebody heckles or ass or throws you off when you're in the beginning of your career,
the second something happens and if you let a come out, you're fucked.
Dude, sayonara.
You're done.
You're fucked.
So I'm going to make sure he doesn't gulp and I'm there, right?
So I'll hang back.
So I go going to make sure he doesn't gulp, and I'm there, right? So I'll hang back. So I go up on stage, I do my set, and they say,
I say, let me in 13 minutes, and then I'll bring up Ryan Garcia.
So now, look, I know Ryan Garcia is super famous, all right?
I also know he's in a world that I don't really know about.
I don't know about boxing that much, okay? So I know who he's in a world that I don't really know about. I don't know about boxing that much.
Okay.
So I know who he is though.
So he's obviously very famous.
If I know who somebody is and I'm not in, I don't know their world, then they're, they're,
they're pretty famous at least.
Okay.
So I'm on stage and I'm like, I'm going to bring them up.
I wonder how it's going to be.
Right.
Because when I go up on stage as a special guest, sometimes people lose their minds.
Sometimes they do absolutely nothing. And I'm just like, okay, this is not my audience then.
And that's good because I got to win them over, right? So when I went on stage, they didn't do,
they gave me like a little bit like, oh, okay. But it wasn't, I was like, oh man,
this might be a little bit of a, you know,
because I'm working some new stuff.
It might be a little bit of an uphill battle for me,
whatever, fine.
So I get on stage.
I start doing my material.
It starts, you know, it works.
It's a great crowd, okay?
And so the crowd's so good.
So I'm like, oh, I wonder why they didn't give it up.
I'm so insecure.
I'm like, I wonder why they didn't give up to me
when I first went out there.
They did, but not, you know what i mean i'm insecure so so i'm like i hope that they really appreciate the fact that i'm going to bring this world
famous dude on stage even though he's not a comedian right because he wants to try stand-up
so i start doing crowd work i start you know murdering this dude from romania in the front row that has a fucking shirt
on that says romania which is just like that just is like the most ridiculous thing so um i give it
to him a little bit in like a fun way also because he's being very loud and looks like jar jar binks
and so he um so so i say all right look i i that's my time i want to say as give it up. I say, I want to bring somebody on stage, a very special guest,
and he's never done stand-up before, but he's world famous,
and I hope you appreciate it.
Give it up for Ryan Garcia.
The place goes bonkers, okay?
It goes nuts.
So I'm like, oh, okay, good.
This will be easy for it.
Not easy, but this will be there you know because
look i guys suppose the crowd could be like we got to watch a fucking boxer do stand-up now
but they do not feel that way they're like oh shit you know there were some guy from romania
is like i get to watch this guy you know and it's a special night it's a special thing for them you
know he's gonna do a few minutes i'm gonna
still hang up there make sure everything's good so the video is on my instagram if you go watch it
but so he goes uh on stage comes up and starts talking a little bit and it does one says one
thing and they laugh a little bit and then he looks at me and i'm like oh i'll just fucking
so we kind of did like a thing anyway dude that's this was going to be the fighter and the kid from It says one thing and they laugh a little bit. And then he looks at me and I'm like, oh, I'll just fucking.
So we kind of did like a thing.
Anyway, dude, that's what's going to be the fighter and the kid from now on.
That's the fighter and the kid now.
But he's a really, it was fun, dude.
It was really fun and it was cool.
And I got to say, props to him for just fucking doing it like he was doing a
poker
game
and then was like I just want to try stand up
and then went and did it
and that's like the kind of guy that's like a
I mean to have that like athlete's
mindset of like I'm just going to try it
it's going to be so hard I'm going to bomb but fuck it I have to do it, athlete's mindset of, like, I'm just going to try it. It's going to be so hard. I'm going to bomb, but fuck it.
I have to do it is crazy, dude.
Because I'm like, I wonder if I had to bomb.
Like, dude, it's so funny because it's like an art.
But, like, a lot of guys, like, look, Ryan Garcia is not going to start a stand-up career, right?
He just wanted to do it just to, like, be silly.
Fine.
Totally get it.
They get to see a celebrity boxer and they, whatever.
It's all good.
Like, be silly? Fine. Totally get it.
They get to see a celebrity boxer.
Whatever. It's all good.
But it's like, that's exactly... Like, if you're somebody who just...
Like, there's so many people who...
Like, T.I. just decided to do stand-up.
And he really tried to do a run at it.
And just, like, would do 40 minutes.
And I don't even know what he was talking about.
And people would, would like kind of laugh
and he was trying to work material and okay.
But like it's so hard.
And then after like the initial,
oh, look, it's fucking T.I.
You go, all right, where's the jokes?
And it takes a long time to get good at standup.
Just like it takes a long time to get good at boxing, okay?
So just like it takes a long time to get good at everything
except for like, you know,
other stuff that doesn't take a long time people want to do but um they might that's
how now i really realize how boxers must feel about all these celebrity boxing matches and i'm
just like yeah because if it it's a weird when it's an artistic thing.
When it's just fighting.
When it's a clear outcome who wins,
it's obvious.
But when it's an art thing,
people give it a little bit more like,
yeah, let's see you get on stage, you know?
But that takes balls, man.
It really does.
I was impressed that somebody would even go,
because I remember my first time going on stage.
I could barely even walk on stage,
but he's done fight conferences before.
You could see that in him.
Anyway,
it was cool.
My son, he was eating salami the other day
and started choking for one second
one second he just goes and he goes and I go I grab me says no I'm okay I'm okay
and I'm like okay um yeah buddy I'm doing a podcast and I watch him choke and I grab him
and I pull him up and he goes no I'm okay put me down and I was like okay I pull him up, and he goes, no, I'm okay. Put me down.
And I was like, oh, okay.
I put him down.
Dude, and I walked out onto my balcony.
And, dude, there's something about that that fucked me up so badly.
Worse than the swimming thing.
Worse than seeing him get get like in in underwater by mistake
and like coming up and coughing there's something about the choking thing that is so messed up for
me to see i don't know what it is it's like i it's like when in an in an in a previous life
i died by like swallowing a chicken bone and and I walked out on the balcony
and I had this instinct of like ah bury that emotion bury it bury it ah fucking bury it
I don't need to feel that I sat down in my chair on the balcony and i and i say and i'm like and my wife is out there and i say
man calvin just like choked a little bit on on salami
and she's like oh really is he okay and i was like yeah he's okay
and she was like oh good and i was like but it really bothered me and she was like well that's
okay it you know he didn't he didn't choke it just for a little bit and it's. And I was like, but it really bothered me. And she was like, well, that's okay.
It, you know, he didn't, he didn't choke it just for a little bit and it's fine. And I was like,
I know, but I just want to like hug him and like make sure he's okay. And she was like, well, he's okay. And then I realized like, oh, I can't, like, I can't make it about me. No,
I want to hug you anyway. You know, I got to let him put me down. So I'm like, I'm't make it about me. No, I want to hug you anyway, you know?
I got to let him,
because he's like, put me down.
So I'm like, okay, put him down.
So they're like, I'm the one that's traumatized.
And I'm like,
on the balcony,
and I'm like,
maybe I should just bury it.
And she was like,
just feel it, it's okay.
Dude, I'm sitting on the balcony.
I'm a little bit emotional,
but I bury it,
because I'm like, I don't want to feel that.
I don't want to think about that kind of shit. I can't even think.
Someone tells me like war stories that happened in the actual wars.
And I'm like, I can't think of this shit.
Families needed to be evacuated from that.
I can't think about this shit.
Right.
Kristen is like, hey, I'm going to go out to dinner with my friends,
and then we're going to meet you at the Laugh Factory.
And I say, awesome.

Oh, if you can't, I'll just Uber.
That's a test.
Nice to meet you, test.
So now I say, I'll drive you.
And she says, well, what's wrong?
Is anything okay?
I was like, well, I want to get coffee, but I'll figure it out.
She's like, we can get coffee after that, right?
You're not supposed to, not till 1030.
She thought she had me.
I was like, yeah, but the coffee being closed is a 10, so it's all good.
Slamming her face, but it's fine.
And she's like, you know what? I can find coffeeming her face, but it's fine. And, you know,
I can find coffee in another place.
So I go,
I said,
where is it?
She says,
it's on the way.
And guess what?
It's not.
Not on the way.
Nice to meet you.
Dude,
so,
it's not on the way.
When a chick says something's on the way,
you know one thing,
guys,
it's goddamn for sure it's not on the way.
So,
so,
I go all the way over to a different area to where I'm not going.
I drop her off, and it's, dude, 9.55.
What are you doing?
So I can't make it over to the coffee bean.
It's all good.
So I drop her off, and I'm like, you know what?
At least that was good.
I'm going to look up a coffee place that closes at, hey, dude, that closes at 11 because I'm smart.
I don't have to go to the coffee bean.
Fine.
I wanted to go to the one I go to, but I didn't have to.
So I'm going to go to the ones that close at 11.
Dude, he went to four different coffee shops
that said they close at 11 on Yelp.
And all of them were goddamn closed.
Hey, life.
I didn't get coffee.
It's the only thing I wanted to do.
I didn't get coffee.
I get to the laugh factory.
Dude, you're about to realize how human I am.
We went to, we went to, I went to the lab factory and she said, and I get it.
I get a text from my wife.
Hey, my friends actually don't want to come.
I'm going to stay here.
I can't convince them.
Guess what I thought of right then in that moment?
Guess what I thought of right then in that moment that I received the text
from my wife that she wasn't coming to my show at the Laugh Factory?
You probably can't guess it, but I'm going to tell you.
I thought of my son choking on the salami okay
and it was too much
and i started crying okay okay it was too much now i didn't cry because dude this is so funny holy shit
oh my god dude i didn't cry because
i didn't cry because my wife couldn't come.
The fact that I'm even saying this is ridiculous.
Hey, dude, it was just too much.
It was just too much to deal with for me that day.
Okay?
And I go, I'm going to bomb on stage so fucking hard. i'm gonna kill dude let's turn this around so dude i started thinking of my son choking on the salami i'm like man this fucking world is so
hard i'm scared i'm scared of being like a father i'm scared of like not being in control i'm scared
of all these things that could happen and I can't control
any of it. Oh dude. I was like, maybe I'll start to do drugs. And I wrote my group on the text
chain and I was like, guys, I, I, I'm going to just check this in right now. I can't deal with
this. I'm losing my mind. I don't know what's going on. And they were like, you can't control it. Don't try
to all good. Previously, what would you have done six years ago? If all this stuff happened,
what would have you done six years ago? If all this stuff happened and I didn't write it,
put in my head, I said, I'd be knee deep in some bus. Right I don't so you know to numb out dude and um
they're like don't you know they talked me through it dude and it was just such a minuscule
thing that would turn into a huge snowball and I I I I was so scared I was thinking about
dude life is fucking absolutely crazy because I was thinking about in that moment I had kids
and what if I didn't like what would I be doing right now and what you know because Butters is
you know on his last legs and I'm like I just got Butters 12 13 years ago and it's been fun with him
but honestly he's been like he pisses in the house sometimes I get pissed off and like now he's just gonna die and I'm just gonna be
sad it's like I got myself
sadness in 12 years
and
and obviously having a dog is much
different than having a family I know that
and like but I'm like
I'm so upset
that I saw my son choke a little
bit on salami that how the fuck am i gonna get through
the rest of my goddamn life dude

And it's like, how do those people not kill each other?
They go like this.
Yeah, well, America is crazy because, you know, they kill each other with guns.
And it's like, dude, that's nothing.

Oh, what happens on Earth?
Yeah, a bunch of humans.
And they all have the same hive mind. No, they happens on Earth? Yeah, a bunch of humans. And they all
have the same hive mind? No, they all want different things. They do, really. Yes. Oh,

They want different things.
Ya, ya, men want to fuck and women want to dance.
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya. Men want to fuck and women want to dance.
Men want to fuck and women want to talk

Surely you're joking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dude.
Fuck yeah, dude.
I mean, it's unbelievable, bro.
It's unbelievable
that everybody hasn't
sawed at least three heads off.
And I'm serious, dude. Put that unbelievable that everybody hasn't sawed at least three heads off. And I'm
serious, dude. Put that on my fucking tombstone. I swear, bro. It's just like enough. Oh, man.
When I saw fucking that thing that was in the sky in L.A. the other day,
and it looked like some, you know, it was probably some test thing that was benign,
but it looked like the world was ending, and I just go, here it is.
Here it is.
That's Salton Straw looking up.
Here it is.
With my kid holding his hand looking up at the sky
in line at
Salton Straw trying to get pints
of ice cream to bring back to my wife who's watching
the perfect match
with her friend.
You know?
And I'm like,
dude,
here it is.
Oh, here it is. Yeah, here it is. This is, yeah.
You know what?
This is how it goes.
This is how it goes.
Then I just go home and everything's fine.
How would we not sawed off people's heads?
How?
Everyone wants different things, dude.
Guys want to lay horizontal and girls want to look up how to grow lettuce on YouTube.
It's amazing. You know, I had therapy today too.
Is the major thing here too. I had therapy today.
Bro, hey, man, therapy is not good, okay?
It ruins you for a bit.
And it's just like, God damn it, it's supposed to be good.
Sometimes my therapist is like, don't you feel lighter afterwards?
And I'm like, hey, man, am I wearing the cinder block threes?
No.
Okay.
Oh, dude, am I in a cement bath?
Doc?
Hey, who am I?
Am I Lips Manless?
Because he died that way in a cement bath in Dick Tracy, the one with Warren Beatty.
Hey, oh, Doc, no, I don't feel lighter.
I feel like Lips Manless.
Thank you.
What if that's how I ended the Zoom?
I feel good now, though.
It's funny, man.
To be human, like, you know, women really are on to something, though,
about the whole talking.
Like, you know, women really are on to something, though, about the whole talking.
And maybe I shouldn't have buried my feelings when I saw my son choking on salami because that's the thing. I buried it.
And then later on, I get a fucking, an iMessage.
And that's what just, you know, broke the levy.
you know broke the levy and it's like
if I had just talked a little bit about
the fear of my
son choking on salami for fuck's sake
I wouldn't have been crying whatever and it's
you let the emotion out
you know you gotta talk
that's for women that's
masturbating you gotta for men it's like
you gotta let it out sometimes in the
masturbation front because if you don't I mean you're gonna be all pent up and you're gonna you know one day
talk about breaking a levy you know it's just like
you're gonna blow a load it's gonna be the fucking side you go oh, oh god, oh god, here it is. Oh god, ah, fuck, oh god, argh. And just,
ah, fuck.
Close the windows!
Um,
but yeah,
because if you don't talk,
then the levees are going to break one day, dude.
And you're going to start crying. So that's the thing.
Women really got it. They really got it. They got that.
They got that. And it's still uncomfortable. Yay.
And it's still uncomfortable. Yay.
I mean really uncomfortable. I didn't realize
how uncomfortable I was talking
until I fucking
the past few years. And that's what I do
for a living which is hilarious.
Oh maybe a funny bit I should do
on stage. Jesus Christ, that fucking...
I don't know.
In therapy, it was so funny because like...
Dude, there's...
My mood in any therapy...
It's like clockwork, dude.
I'll sit down.
Okay, so I don't want to go always beforehand.
Dun, dun, dun-dun, dun-dun-dun, dun-dun-dun.
Like that's the mood, right?
And I go and I open a computer and I, hey, what's going on?
I go, hey, what's up?
And I go, here we go.
I start talking, whether it's couples or not.
I start off getting pissed.
So I'll get pissed for 10 minutes.
Then it subsides. But the peak of the
pissedness is at 10 minutes or 15 minutes. And then it subsides. And then there's another smaller
peak later on. And most of the time, that's at the end portion of it to where I get off Zoom
and I'm still a little pissed off, but I feel okay also.
How about how these videos that I do,
I mean, this is the 388th episode of Congratulations,
that like they're just going to be forever out there.
Whoops.
Said all this shit.
You know, in like 350 years, somebody's going to be like, who's this guy?
And they're just going to click on this video.
And it's going to be like, whoa, what a fucking weirdo.
He was a comedian, I guess.
And you see his son choked on a salami and then he fucking cried because his wife texted him like it's just wow you know imagine clicking on his video in a thousand five hundred years
we told them thought that that they needed hive mind. Yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah, yah.
Yes, I can.
Yes, I can.
Okay, cool.
Just scheduling stuff. Sorry, sorry guys bear with me
I do what I want
it's all good
it's all good
it's all good
look at this thing Joe Coy was talking about the thing Um, it's all good.
Look at this thing that Joe, Joe Coy was talking about the thing on a Netflix special.
It's so funny what people get up in arms about.
Comedian Joe Coy was talking about mumble rappers and praises Biggie for creating songs.
I still shut down the club to this day, years after his death.
And I didn't,
I don't,
I don't really,
you know,
I didn't see his special,
but people got really mad,
I guess.
Because
people don't like to hear,
but people get so fucking angry about music and like comedy.
And look at this right here.
Yeah, well, one thing I would like to say is some guy,
some user says, first of all, Joko is 52.
Okay, so of course he doesn't like young thug, dude.
You know?
But yeah, I guess in the beginning,
he starts talking about mumble rap,
and it went viral on social media.
And then people are just like,
okay, old guy.
It's not a diss to call someone old, by the way.
Hey, dude, some people don't even get there.
I made it.
I mean, I'm 44, I'm not that old, but...
Look at this.
In 2014, Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan
made a song so good,
it filtered lame dudes for 10 years straight.
Wow, somebody said lifestyle better
than any song Biggie Smalls ever made.
Yeah, wow.
Look at this.
This is some real dork shit to say this.
Not that it's not even true.
Not that it's not true, but it's such a dork thing to say.
Thug uses his voice as an instrument as much as Kendrick,
but it isn't viewed the same because of the lyrics and the region he's from.
That's the dorkiest thing I've ever read on Twitter.
And what's wrong with saying mumble rap?
People are saying you shouldn't say mumble rap anymore. Like, that's like
an older thing to say. They were like, saying
mumble rap in 2024
is weird.
The song,
look at it. This is the stuff I love. Song he's
crying about is almost 10 years old. Dude, it's just
comedy. He was
killing. crying about is almost 10 years old by the way dude it's just comedy they are he was killing
somebody says don't care old man we still bump in lifestyle oh this was my favorite one this guy says i don't know who this is, but he might. People always do that.
They think that, like, how many people in the world know everybody?
How many people in the world,
how many people are there in the world that are known by everybody?
Six?
This guy says, I don't know who this is.
Joe Crosby, huge stand-up.
I don't know who this is, but he might stand to mention
how the mumble rapper he lampoons
has for years been jailed without cause, released only to litigate with the state over lyrics
that were sufficiently intelligible to incite a culture war, the loss of which could criminalize rap.
Could you, like, come?
Like, come.
This saying was made for this guy.
Come off it.
Dude, it's a comedy show.
Nobody, it's not that serious.
My only comment, he's performing in Brooklyn,
but not in front of Brooklyn
dude I love how
people are nuts bro
making fun of hip hop
is so
I mean
every comedian does that shit
it's so easy
I've done it
it's funny
who gives a shit well this rapper was killed Every comedian does that shit. It's so easy. I've done it. It's funny.
Who gives a shit?
Well, this rapper was killed.
His name was Fulio.
That sucks, actually,
because now no rapper's going to be able to be named Fulio because that's a fucking awesome name.
I didn't know about him until now.
That is an awesome name for a rapper.
The Florida rapper was shot and killed early Sunday morning.
Wow, Charles Jones, who performed under the name Julio Julio,
that's awesome, was shot at a Holiday Inn.
Jesus Christ.
After being kicked out of an Airbnb.
My God.
This sounds like my night that other night.
No, kidding.
I'm joking, guys.
After gathering exceeded occupancy limits, according to statement from his lawyer.
Oh, man.
In Tampa, it happened, of course.
That's so sad.
I hate that shit.
