Someone sent me, I know it's a little lame to do this, but I'm still interested. Someone sent like, I guess, chat GPT or whatever. They got good enough to be like to write a set in the style of Jamarco Cereza. Oh my god. And I want to see if it's accurate. Yeah. Okay. So this is, I guess, someone made a whole

set. And if it's good... Don't read the whole thing. Just let's get a sense of it. It's so long. We'll start and if it's fun, we'll keep going. And if it's bad, we'll stop. I'm not going to be like, this is terrible. We got to keep going. Wait, one second. I got to'm not gonna be like be like this is terrible we gotta keep going i gotta respond something oh no i don't okay go ahead thank you patrons uh hey you know

what's wild growing up with an italian dad and a jewish mom okay it's like being raised by two competing delis pauses you gotta try the salami. No, no, no. The pastrami is better. Parentheses. Laugh. Did they put in John Marco but good? And then they got divorced. Because what's more Italian and Jewish than a good argument? Chuckles.

Now I'm like a human matzo ball just trying to navigate the sauce and the guilt. We're going to read the whole thing. Oh my god. Now I'm like a human matzo ball, just trying to navigate the sauce and the guilt. We're going to read the whole thing. It's fun. My dad's Italian, so he's all about the passion and the pasta. Theory! I mean, like, I go

with Italian and Jewish because I have a feeling this is probably racist if you do anything else. I feel like any part of you hearing this is probably racist if you do anything else. I feel like any part of you hearing this is like questioning your routine. You're like, maybe I shouldn't talk about certain things this much. No, but these are the comedians that succeed. Honestly, I think if I did this, I'd be way more famous than I am now. Okay.

Okay. My dad, he's like a human version of the Olive Garden. Unlimited breadsticks and emotional outbursts. Wait, but what does the unlimited breadsticks mean? Like, I'm saying like, I'm saying, I'm identifying with the set. Wait, your dad, what does he mean? I'm saying like, my dad's Italian, so he's all about unlimited breadsticks and unlimited outbursts of emotion. I know what you're saying, but is your dad giving you unlimited breadsticks or what?

No, it's just like this is what he's all about. He's a skinny man. He's not fat. Listen, this is not the most advanced technology in the world. I know. I'm just trying to understand the chat. Can I say, by the way, like I understand AI eventually is going to get there. But as someone who listens to technology podcasts or whatever, they overhype this shit so badly.

You listen to technology podcasts? I like being up to date about how our humanity is going to... What technology podcast are you listening to? Hard Fork, which is one of the New York Times guys and someone else. It's a really good podcast, Hard Fork. I want to get them on the show. part of it is like they talk about ai and part of it is like well they are kind of like the they're they're kind of the propaganda for silicon valley like they're all tied together the same way where like news reporters also are spreading dnc

propaganda or republican propaganda where it's like they talk about ai they're gonna do this they're gonna do that and then you you pull it up and like this is what it made. Right, right. This is the thing that's going to take my job. Not, not, not yet. Oh, this one's good though. And my mom's Jewish. So she's all about the, well, also the pasta.

Wait, what? Like what? Do Jewish people have pasta? No. Yeah. But with more guilt. You're not not eating enough you're not calling enough i'm like mom i'm 25 oh you love you love ai you you're full ai supporter now mom i'm 25 i can handle my own carbon take, I'm 25 with a nine inch dick. Just love this AI.

Just love what they have to say about you. But hey, being a theater kid helped me cope. Okay, good. 17 paragraphs and we get to the theater kid. I learned to fake emotions, pretend everything's fine, and belt out a

mean somewhere over the rainbow while secretly crying in the wings. I want there to be something really problematic in here. You realize that part of your act is really bad. You guys ever heard about CPT? It's a joke. Oh my God. And have you ever tried to navigate a Jewish-Italian family dinner?

No, because they're divorced at GPT. Have you ever tried to navigate a Jewish-Italian family dinner? It's like a UN summit. You putting ketchup on the pasta? That's like putting mayo on a pastrami sandwich. Laughs.

It's like a UN summit. War crimes. It'd be funny if it went to like Israel. Yeah. Is that like a war crimes? Now I'm in therapy trying to work through all the sauce and the guilt.

Okay, I'm coming around. I like this one more. I unfortunately wrestled laughing a lot more than my fish jokes earlier in the episode. But honestly, I'm just trying to find a good deli that serves both salami and pastrami. That's the real challenge. What deli? I never go to the deli. This is not part of my lifestyle.

But they knew that Jewish and Italians, they're... Oh, and then it says parentheses. So I guess that's the end of the set. Jamarcus Rezzi's style often involves clever wordplay, witty observations, and a touch of sarcasm, which I tried to capture in this comedy set. Well, you know, when the data's available, I'd love to see them do a character thing from me. Oh, man. Who's ringing?

Who's ringing? By the way, I'm such a lightweight. I am wasted. Hey, I think I did a strong core. I always use shot glasses to tell, and I didn't. And I think it was stronger than you think. You know, I took a bartending class. When?

Like sometime, I feel like the summer after high school, before college. I took like a two-week bartending class. And I just, because I remember you go, one, two, three, four. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, three? depends on the settings and the drinks that you go yeah there's one thing my mom does not oh can i say this on the patreon yeah uh we tell you what you're going to say about my set i should do this on stage i want to do this as a bit i feel like a lot of comedians like did that they already did that when chat gpt came out but i want to do this as a bit. I feel like a lot of comedians did that. They already did that when ChatGPT came out. But I want to do it like, just do it.

No commentary. Just do it. Just do it and see what... What if someone was like, I'm from America's Got Talent. We'd love it when you capture identity. That's who you respect the most. That's who you'd respect the most. That's my SNL.

America's Got Talent. Oh my God. If someone That's my SNL. America's Got Talent. Oh my God. If someone told me they liked me for America's Got Talent, that would mean the world to me. That's my dream. My dream is to be Lady Gaga and to go on America's Got Talent. We all have dreams. They just don't come true.
