Without further ado, let's get wrong.
American Testors.
Our first comedian is at Omnay Love Bird on Instagram, but my question is, does he love American imperialism?
It's Ahmed al-God, everybody.
Our next comedian's ancestors are from Poland, which is a notoriously stupid country,
but is it as stupid as attacking Manhattan with a bush in the White House?
It's Kate Zazowski, everybody. Kate Zazowski.
Our final comedian is big on TikTok, but he's definitely not as big as our troops are on Christ's talk.
It's Ben Brainer, everybody.
Brand Brannard.
And let's make it out.
Land for our host is Jay Laude.
Hey.
Hit that space bar, Tyler.
How else are they going to know which show they're at?
They're wrong, a fucked up game show.
Yes.
Thank you so much for coming.
Welcome.
Happy 9-11, everybody.
We did it.
We're here.
We didn't forget.
We're here for the show tonight.
This is very exciting.
Make it a look for Tyler over here in the corner, by the way.
By the way.
Thank you.
I see you're wearing
your 9-11 Hooters shirt for the occasion.
It was a gift, but I do wear it probably.
Thank you.
Let Freedom Wing is what it says here right on the bottom.
Perfect, good stuff.
Good job Hooters.
Honestly, that's probably the best thing Hooters has ever done.
Yeah.
We got fans of Hooters in the building tonight.
Good news.
Contestants, how are y'all feeling?
I'm feeling pretty good.
You know, let's get the Arab comedian for 9-11.
Let's do it.
Yeah.
You walked right into our trap.
Yeah.
This is great.
At least you didn't fly run into it.
Hey.
Here we go.
Hello.
Hello.
Kate, Ben.
How are you all feeling?
Great.
This is what I love to hear.
I love somebody who came not to play, but to take down everybody else.
That's right.
I bet you, Ben.
Oh, is your mic not working?
Have you tried switching it on?
It's all part of my plan to win.
Is it not working?
You know what? When tech issues happen, there's one person who we can blame, and that's always Tyler.
So everybody booed Tyler real quick.
There we go. It should be, click, it should be, there you go.
All right. I do want to correct Tyler really quick. I am also a troop.
That's true. He is a former army reservist, everybody.
I have Christ's talk in the palm of my hands.
But it fell right through the holes. So I also served.
I'm just not in y'all's army.
Easy now.
I was a server.
But you probably did more work for America than I did.
I slept a lot.
What kind of restaurant were you a server at?
Was it a chain restaurant, America's Pride and Joy?
No, Queens.
Okay.
That's in New York City.
That's in New York City.
You know what?
There's points for that.
All right.
By the way, we have Tyler, our scorekeeper, our announcer.
He's going to be keeping track if everybody scores.
the whole time. He has a proprietary
scoring system. He refuses to let me know what it is.
It's good. But just so you all know,
comedians, you can be lobbying for points at any
time. Tyler may or may not give
them to you, depending on... Hey, Tyler, you're
a beautiful person. Hey,
points for that.
Anybody, anybody else wants to take a shot?
No, I'm going to win
this game fair and square by being
the best contestant out here.
Ooh! Okay. And it really doesn't matter that I think
Tyler's a gorgeous, gorgeous human being. I'm going
to win on Merritt alone.
That was such a fear factor contestant energy.
I'm here and not to make friends.
I'm here to eat donkey dick all in one place.
No, no fear factor fancy.
It's fine.
I will say, by the way, audience members, don't forget,
this is a game where you can get some points too.
We have prizes for our best audience members.
We will get to those later in the show.
But if you give just a chance to earn some points,
Hey, we'll find out how that goes.
So let's see how it goes.
There we go.
You know what?
I like tepid cheering from over here in the corner.
Let's give the...
Was it the bucket hat girl or the other one?
It was not the other one.
Well, it was the other one.
It was the bucket hat girl.
I didn't think it was the bucket hat girl.
You need to not wear a distinctive hat
or you will always be the other girl.
Especially, yeah.
This is problems for everybody involved over in the corner.
The top prize for the fans, by the way.
The top prize possible is flight lessons in New York.
York City. So just really be on the lookout for that.
Wait, didn't they have flight lessons in
Florida? Isn't that where they started down there?
Okay, listen. I went to Emmer Riddle
Ahronoff University, which is the school that
was claimed to have a guy, because of a flight
school and an engineering school. Turns out
there was just a guy who had the same exact name
that was a student at Riddle.
The FBI came to Riddle, busted down the
door, and he was asleep on the couch.
Not the same place, but they still
interrogated all the professors.
And my graphic,
Engineering 101 told me when he was
interviewed, they asked, do you know
anybody who can fly a plane and build a
bomb? And he was at a combination
flight school engineering school.
And he just laughed in their
face and said, take a roster.
I think
all of Florida's smartest people
are in flight school because they're trying to leave
Florida. Hey.
All right, a little bit more of a tepid
response to that one. We love Florida
here, guys. We love Florida. We love America. We love America.
We love America. Great state.
No, it's not.
You know what? Take away. Any points they've been had. Take them away right now.
I don't need them. Sassing the host. Give them negative points. Jeopardy style. Negative 100 points for Ben to start out.
Absolutely. I accept. Tyler, don't listen to him.
Folks, we're going to start things off. You know, over the course of tonight, we are going to do a lot of things that are fucked up. Obviously, you know what kind of humor we've already got. We're making 9-11 jokes. Right here, it's happening right now.
We are ready to find out what we think is fucked up about.
these comics. Are you already going a little bit of a dark
journey with us tonight? Makes noise if you're ready
to... Good news.
Now, we, like I said, we're going to
find out a lot of fucked up stuff about our
contestants tonight, but we do want to
think about what they think is fucked up, too.
So, we're going to start off with our first
round, let's get fucked up.
Yes, this is a well-trained
audience member. You know what?
You're going to get points. What's your name, sir?
Robert. Robert's going to get some points
right out the gate. Robert gets 100 points for
clapping and cheering.
Like a trained game show contest.
Good job, Robert.
We're really proud of you.
Good job, Robert.
If you can do that for me, but not the other two,
I'd be...
I'll give you 200 more points, and they're bend points,
so they count for something.
Oh, there is.
Really smells like desperation over here.
We have a whole bunch of comedians
tonight. We've asked them to do their darkest
material, five into their darkest, most fucked up jokes.
Whatever that means to them, it could be dark,
it could be dirty, but we're going to find out what they think is
fucked up. Starting off with our first
comic, make it loud for a metal controversy.
everybody.
All right.
What's going on?
Sorry, my road mic.
All right.
Happy holidays, everybody.
What's going on?
All right.
Aloha'u'u'u'h on three.
One, two, three.
Oh, my God.
Wow, this is the first time it's ever worked.
Holy shit.
This is the best show ever.
Put me on every time.
Yeah.
No, but on all seriousness,
9-11 was kind of tragic, you know.
But I will say this, and this is true.
After 9-11, 20,000 Americans converted to Islam every year.
So 9-11 did work.
It did kind of work.
I'm just saying, you know.
I don't know if y'all know this, but I grew up in Dallas, Texas.
Where are my gun people at?
Give it up.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, you're from Texas?
What part?
Dallas for work.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Nice.
Okay.
So I grew up in Richardson.
All right.
There was a big message there of Islamic Association of North Texas.
and my dad was a board member there.
I remember there was like this guy
who looked like a military looking dude.
He would show up and he said that he converted to Islam
and he always like would hang out with me and my other friends,
all the kids and he was always asking us weird questions
like about jihad and what our opinion is.
And it turns out he was just a pedophile.
He was just a petapile.
I never fucked him.
He had the wrong candy.
More of a racist cubs guy myself.
Get out of here with this fucking snicker shit.
Get out of here, bro.
Yeah, you want to fuck this kid?
I was the hottest kid in the Mesh shit, too.
So if you wanted to fuck me, like,
you got to bring in your A game.
So I do want to share this story
because I see on some of y'all's questions
it's like, what was the most fucked up part of your week?
And this actually true.
This happened to me literally five days ago.
So I'm in the parking lot in L.A. Fitness,
and I can't find parking.
And I'm from Texas.
Usually common courtesy, it's like if you're leaving and then someone pulls up and you go, hey, you're leaving, you'll go, yeah, that's my car, the green Prius, I could pull out. And there'd be like, Green Prius, more like a scooter, but I'll take your spot, it's whatever. But it's all like about being generous and courteous and being chivalrous. Like, I'm a gentleman, and I'm trying to keep chivalry alive. Like, the other day on the sidewalk, I took off my jacket and I laid down on a homeless woman so my girlfriend could walk over her.
I'm just kidding. I don't have a girlfriend.
Okay, my girlfriend likes that joke.
She's homeless.
So I'm looking for parking spots, and I can't find this lady's leaving.
And I go, excuse me, ma'am, are you leaving?
She goes, yeah, I parked in the back.
And I was like, okay, cool.
So I go to the back.
I see her walking around, and then she starts walking the other way.
And then she goes, oh, I'm sorry, I parked in the front today.
I was like, oh, no worries.
What color is your car?
And she goes, why does that matter?
Stop following me
You're acting really weird
I was so upset
I was like you offered me a parking spot
And she goes
No I didn't you creep
No guy likes to be called creep
Every guy in this room had an accidental
creepy moment you know
You know what I'm talking about you're walking down
A hallway past a group of girls
You realize fuck I gotta go this way
So you turn around passing those group of girls again
And now they're suspicious of you
So you have to do that
I'm not a creepy walk.
You walk gayer, too.
You're like, I'm not a stranger.
Like, look at me, you know?
So, dude, calling a guy creep is like calling a woman crazy.
I don't recommend it.
I've called a woman crazy once.
And no matter what, every girl has the same reaction.
They go, oh, I'm crazy.
I'll give you crazy.
Same thing, you know?
So I was like, oh, you call me?
creep, I can fucking be a creep.
And the worst part is
she was fucking ugly.
Oh, now we're pulling back.
Okay. Wow. Go ahead
with the 9-11 petalphile jokes.
But calling a woman ugly, she was ugly.
Okay? She was ugly.
All right, her face looked like an anglerfish
from the deep sea.
Had an inflated ego like her botched lips.
Somehow still thinking she's some shit.
But whatever, dude.
Anyways, I calm down.
had a work out, found a parking spot, and I was like, you know what?
You know, women out there, like, they can't go order a drink without being harassed.
They can't go to the gym without being harassed.
They can't go to their car without being harassed.
So, I like, I get it.
But not that lady.
She's not one of them.
That lady could walk through a dark alley with Cosby, Wines, the Me Too Hall of Fame.
And all those men would be like, good evening, how do you do?
You guys are fun.
Anyways, you guys like child porn?
Me neither because they're bad at it.
I got the groan.
That's what I wanted.
I wanted the awe!
That's exactly what I wanted.
Thank you guys so much.
Keep it going for your house, everybody.
Great setup for a joke, by the way.
You guys like child porn.
That might be the most efficient dark setup we've heard at the show.
All right, let's keep things going.
Make it loud for your next comic.
Kate Zazowski, everybody.
Sorry you got rejected by that fish girl.
Sounds like it hurt.
Oh, condolences.
I have a bidet, but I've never had my ass eaten,
which I'm pretty sure is like owning a helmet but never riding a bike.
I was thinking the other day I was like,
you know, do you think dogs like to walk so much
because the actual walking or the light choking?
A lot of tail wagging.
I've been diagnosed with chronic dry mouth,
and when I first went to the doctor, they were like,
oh that's weird we usually only find us in 80 year olds
and I was like well I guess better this than racism and dead friends
but being a queer woman with dry mouth it is
you guys it's tough out here okay
it's like being Ironman without the suit but I did
I did get medicated I'm on some steroids so now I am
roided up with an ineffective tongue I am everyone's worst boyfriend
I do think probably that being a queer woman with dry mouth is similar to
to being a straight man with a micro penis.
Only difference is I did not bring a gun in here.
You guys are safe.
Shout out to my gun friends.
You guys hear about the Don't Say Gay Bill?
Yeah.
I think it sounds like something a Southern housewife would say to her husband.
Don't say gay bill.
It's 2023.
We say limp-risted twink.
Or fudge pack or bear.
There are two kinds.
You know, you got to use the right terms.
Basically, if you didn't know that don't say gay bill, is this idea that in schools they shouldn't talk about gay people because it's not child appropriate.
Now, when I was a student, I had a pregnant teacher.
How is that more child-friendly?
You look at a pregnant person, the one thing you know is they probably got fucked recently.
And most likely doggy style, okay, that allows for the deepest penetration.
You look at a lesbian couple, all you know is they probably did not have sex in the past year.
I'm pro-choice, and a lot of times when you say that, the first thing some people will say is,
oh, so you're four killing babies? And I'm like, yeah, I've been on a plane, next question.
Sometimes people will be like, well, if you're against abortion, or sorry, if you're against, you know,
giving birth and keeping the baby, you can adopt. And to that I say, sure,
I like an option, but that's still nine months of free labor.
Can you guys imagine volunteering for nine months?
No, you're at a comedy show.
You can.
But just walk with me for a moment.
Who's heckling me?
This is a Tyler issue.
Okay.
Carry up. This is not counting towards your time, Kate.
Don't you worry.
Thank you, thank you, okay.
Something about B-O-B.
Is that airplanes?
Is that that that?
It's an inadvertent 9-11 reference with the airplanes in the night sky.
Oh, I see. I'm sorry.
Where was I?
Okay, volunteering for nine months.
Imagine you go, you decide, okay, I'm going to volunteer for nine months.
You show up and the person says, okay, thank you so much for signing up.
We're so happy to have you.
We just legally have to tell you by the time this is over, your vagina and butthole may tear,
so that's just one giant hole.
We just have to tell you.
Any questions are concerns?
Yeah.
My vagina and butthole becoming a giant hole.
I have some concerns about that.
Oh, no, it's totally natural.
It happens all the time.
It's totally fine.
Forget about the abortion.
I will kill a human adult to make sure that I have my two holes.
Okay, that's very important to me.
I think objectifying people is good.
Sometimes I recently, I got into this one porn actress,
and I was like, you know, I don't want to objectify her.
Like, what else is she into besides porn?
What does she do outside to work?
You know, what does she do outside of work?
What's she into?
And I googled her.
and it turns out she's into being dead.
She's dead. She's dead.
Yeah.
So, you know, now I get why she was so quiet in her scenes.
I thought she was just taking it like a champ.
Okay, I do want to end with this little story.
So when I was in middle school, I was in this show called Chess the Musical.
And it's a great musical.
Iber wrote the music.
And someone in my cast made a meme to advertise the show
using a still from that Chess Harry Potter scene.
People loved it.
you got so much attention. I was like, okay, next time I'm in a show, I'm going to do this,
and then people will like me. So the next show I was in was hairspray. And so I was like,
okay, I'm going to make a meme about the song, You Can't Stop the Beat. So I just need to find
an angry clip art picture of a beat, the vegetable, and then people running away screaming.
You guys follow. So naturally, you know, I Google people running away screaming. I find the beat,
make the meme, post it as my profile picture. It's a hit. People love. People love.
I love it. I'm getting some likes. I'm getting some comments that it's funny. I'm feeling good.
A couple years later, my friend is Facebook talking me and goes, Kate, did you make a meme with the most popular 9-11 photo?
And I was like, no, why would I do that? Can we pull up the photo?
Straight from 2011 to your eyes in 2023. You know, I do think this is how 9-11 victims would want to be remembered.
advertising a community theater production
that used colorblind casting
and a child-sized fat suit.
So thank you all so much.
Happy 911.
Kate Sazowski, everybody.
I was inspecting this, by the way.
I love that you can see the cloud of smoke behind the beef.
I wish I could explain.
I'm just pulling up Michael Baysdills
and not really thinking about it too much.
Oh man. Wonderful.
Let's keep it going.
Let's go think your last comic.
We're going about to find out what he thinks is fucked up.
Make it loud for Ben Brainerd, everybody.
Bez.
You're saying, uncle.
And if you don't get it, you can ask your uncle.
I was born and raised in Florida.
My dad is from New York, so he raised me with that tough love.
But he was still very supportive of things that I did,
even if he didn't know about them at all.
I played soccer a lot growing up.
My dad had no idea what soccer was.
but he came to my games anyway and supported me.
And I remember one time I was like eight, nine years old,
and we were in a game, and I missed a wide open shot,
and my team lost the game, and I was really upset about it.
And after the game, my dad saw how upset I was,
and he pulled me over as a good dad when he got down on the need.
He looked at me in the eyes, and he said,
you really fucked that one up, huh?
You're supposed to go right down in the middle, not off to the inside.
I still love you, though.
And I said, thanks, David Beckham.
My dad was, he was good for stuff like that,
but he was also really good for give me
two of the worst days of my life.
When I was 16 years old,
my dad got really drunk one night and choked me,
and it absolutely ruined sex for me.
Because now I'm being a bed of the woman
to look up me and go choke me, daddy,
and I'm like, you were there?
And I got to hit her.
And now she's crying,
and Christmas is ruined again.
No, but it really happened.
I had to call 911 on my dad, and when I called, I said, hey, my dad just choked me, and they said, what?
And I said, I feel like I said that pretty plainly.
Do you want me to say it, like, as a game of clue?
It was Colonel Mustard in the living room with his man hands.
Is that going to help?
And they said, oh, is he still there?
And I said, yeah, it's his house.
He's got a lot of flaws, but he's never choked someone in a house he doesn't own.
That's stupid.
And then they said, all right, well, be safe.
I said, is there someone else I should have called first?
Could you get me on the phone with the Justice League?
Or the second Ghostbusters?
Honestly, at this point, Ezra Miller's The Flash is going to be safer for me.
I'm too old for him.
It's going to be okay.
But that's not the worst day of my life.
When I was 13, my mom woke me up one day and said,
hey, your father just tried to kill himself.
and which was true
my dad was in the military at the time
he was stationed in Georgia
and when he went AWOL
and he tried to kill himself
when they found him
they sent him to the hospital
and they sent him home
and I remember when he got home
gave him a big hug
and he showed me the scars
the scars on his wrist
and I felt like the stitches
and I looked into his eyes
and I could see that there was like
a lot of pain but also a lot of fear
and the fear was like
he was afraid that things were going to be
different between him and I.
He was afraid that I was never going to be able to look at him
the same way that I've looked at him my whole life.
I knew in that moment I was going to have to do something
to let him know that nothing has changed
and I still love him.
So I said, you really fucked that one up, huh?
You're supposed to go right down the middle, not off to the side.
You taught me that.
Hey, thanks, guys, you were fun.
Ben Brainer and everything.
We've hit a, we've hit a milestone in wrong,
show history. So this is the second comedian
who's ever done a joke about one of their
parents trying to murder them.
Wow. Wow. I'm the second.
The other person, also somebody
who has a really big TikTok following.
So maybe there's like a pattern. Maybe you have to get
hurt. I'll kill them. I'll do it.
Who was funnier?
Oh, that's tough. That's a tough call.
Both very funny. Both very funny.
Something about your dad trying to kill you
really does make for good comedy material.
Who is closer to death? Because I couldn't breathe good.
I think he went more into how close he was to death.
Yeah, he went more in depth.
He tried to get smothered.
Stony McBlaise, Austin Cress.
He tried to get smothered by a pillow by his dad.
But it was like religious shit.
It was weird, yeah.
It wasn't a drunk thing.
It was like weird, you know, like I'm going to sacrifice you.
Like the binding of Isaac kind of stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But honestly, what's the difference between like Catholicism and alcoholism?
It's really just, it's a need to do something that really you shouldn't do with your
anymore.
Yeah, exactly.
It sounds to me like you really fuck that one up, huh?
That other guy beat you.
We have some points, Tyler.
Let's go ahead and hear how our points are turned out after that first round.
Right now in third place, we have Ahmed with 625 points.
Ben, you're in second place with 700 points, and Kate's in first place with 800 points.
Whoa.
Wait, how do the point system work again?
Don't ask questions, Ahmed.
Look, man, we all started in the same place the tower said.
Ground zero.
Me and Tyler had a little bit of sex before the show.
Just a little.
Just a little.
Do we get a woo from not Bucket Hat Girl from that?
Points over here.
I like that.
Oh, there's other one, not Bucket Hat.
It was not Bucket Hat Girl.
What's not Bucket Hat Girl?
Tell us your name, everybody.
Madeline.
Madeline gets a couple points.
All right, Madeline.
But you know what?
Let's give Bucket Hat Girl.
Bucket Hat Girl, what's your name?
Colleen.
Let's give Colleen a few points for upstaging her friend with a bucket hat.
I think that's only fair.
Okay.
One point for every plane to call him.
Wait, that's four points.
That's four points, yeah.
It's like, oh, there's only two.
That's what they wanted you to think.
Oh, yeah.
If we add the jets that got scrambled,
I'm not sure how many more points that adds,
but we'll see what happens.
Let's move on to our next round in Tweetment.
This is, yeah, I like clapping.
All right.
Well-trained audience, good news.
Now, Tweetment is around to that.
I think, as we've learned,
most comedians who do the show get very nervous
about this round, because what we do is we take
everybody's old social media.
Because, of course, you have some stuff you've probably said on social
media in the past that you regret, right?
Most people forget about it, but we don't.
We find it.
We find it, and we present it for your enjoyment
and for their torture.
You guys are the Pepperidge Farms of cancellation.
I've never regretted anything I posted.
Not even
Well, you know, you guys just
Wait, I deactivated my Twitter
Or is it still up?
It's still up.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
You don't have to worry.
And by the way, we have good researchers.
We have ways of finding stuff that's been deleted.
This is not...
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, shh.
Okay, I don't think I...
What do you think that...
You're smiling too hard.
I don't like it.
Ahmed, look at the color of your skin.
Everything you've ever said is posted somewhere
in the National Congress.
Yeah, for sure.
That's a great point.
Now, don't worry, because we've started off, you know,
I don't want anybody to feel like they're a little too out of pockets.
We're going to start up with one of mine.
That's how we always do things.
We've got a tweet of mine that is old that we have blanked out words from.
We're going to see if I and our panel of comedians can guess what I said.
I'm always nervous, and today I actually know what?
I feel pretty calm.
I feel pretty serene because I have a feeling I know where this one's going.
Yeah, that makes sense.
It just makes sense.
Let's find out.
Let's find out.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
All right. I think I hate blank more than I hate terrorism. Hashtag blank.
I tweet this at 5.56 a.m. on March 6th, 2012.
They got one retweet and no likes.
I think I hate Del Taco more than I hate terrorism.
What do you mean Wednesday morning? It's Taco Tuesday, motherfucker.
Okay. I like that you tried.
I may have no idea
I was not even in L.A. at this point
I was in college still.
It says,
Okay, Del Taco.
It says, I think I hate the Jews
more than I hate terrorism.
Hashtag Hitler was right.
You know what?
Sounds like Jay.
It does sound like me in college.
I was deeply into my alcoholism
and anything that could have been very out of pocket.
Who knows?
Kate, do you have any guesses on what it could be?
Hashtag, simple plan.
You know who else had a simple plan?
All right.
It's actually a very complex plan.
Okay, let's go and move on.
Let's see my options here.
All right.
I think I hate Ellen more than I hate terrorism.
Hashtag fuck you, Ellen.
Way ahead of your time.
I guess.
I think I hate pretending I'm not drunk more than I hate terrorism.
Hashtag fuck this job interview.
That actually, that fits.
Yeah, that feels very accurate.
It feels very accurate.
accurate. And the last one,
I think I hate conducting research
more than I hate terrorism. Hashtag
9-11 was an inside job.
Huh.
You know, that one makes a lot of sense as far as
why nobody liked it, because
it wasn't written well.
Yeah.
But I think the dive into alcoholism
is way more up your alley.
It feels like it's about right. I was definitely
like in the scary other people
phase of my alcoholism at this point by talking
about it in public. So that
feels like that could be of it. I don't know. Kate, do you all have guesses?
I also think the second one, because you were a budding comedian,
trying to make the people laugh on Twitter.com.
Thank you. I'm changing my answer.
Oh. Okay.
I feel like the alcoholism is,
it's one to make us guess that one because we know that you have a problem.
By the way, he's been sober for what? Like eight years?
Eight years yesterday.
Yeah. So congratulations on being really close to hopping back on the wagon.
I mean, 2012 was, quote, unquote, the end of the world.
Remember that?
Yeah, that whole Native American sundial thing?
Is that what it was?
I don't know why.
The Mayan calendar.
Was there a movie?
But I was like he might as well to try.
Native American.
Listen.
It was like some sundial.
The skin tone gets a little bit lighter.
Okay, I'm not the crazy one.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm not the Creed Temple Prize.
Did you think we were going to use to end?
Indiana Jones and the temple
of the Mayan calendar. That's what you're thinking of.
Anyway, I'm changing my answer to the first one,
and I think it's the Ellen one because
you look like someone who
probably got compared to Ellen a lot,
and you were just so upset by it.
Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
Yeah. I had the short hair at this time.
I didn't have this.
Amad, what do you think?
I'm going to just
go with the conducting research,
you know, because you were in college,
you hated studying. You seemed
kind of dumb.
and you know
So and you know
We're going with the theme of the show
9-11 was into my job and yeah
And plus you're a college kid
556 a.m.
You probably took an outer roll
pulled in all nighter so
Could have been me
I don't go with that.
Honestly I do just
I don't think that this is the one
I do I actually kind of think
it might be the fuck you Ellen one
But I do just want to say
You just said you think I'm kind of dumb
Which is the best compliment
Anyone has ever given me
Usually people look at me
Like this guy is a fucking nerd
And thank you
for breaking the statement
I never thought you were a nerd ever.
I like that.
All right, let's see what the actual tweet was.
Oh, it was this one.
We did change the hashtag.
We did change the hashtag.
Nice work.
Leave the must-them to know what people say about terrorism.
I don't even know why I got so mad.
My senior thesis was on watching sitcoms are changing.
I did how sitcoms are changed.
I was literally just watching TV for my thesis.
That was a real cry, baby.
Wait a second, but the hashtag is different.
I don't care.
I made the rules.
I read it.
Yeah, that's right. You do, and you do a great job at him, brother.
You know what? Amet's going to need that good attitude when we bring him up now for his entreatment.
Come on up, Matt. Let's see what you got.
You know what's funny? You kind of, you don't look like a nerd, but you do look like a school shooter without the confidence.
That's good. Let's give him out. I heard old.
Man, y'all allowing at the weirdest moment.
All right, let's see your blanked out tweet. So this is a recent one.
Oh shit.
I like sex in the shower because blank.
Oh, I know this one.
I like sex in the shower because my girlfriend finally gets wet.
Close, close, close, close.
But it's cute that you think I care.
All right, okay, all right.
Wow, y'all really don't like misogynist jokes.
Okay, all right.
I respect women too.
I have two guesses here.
Fire away.
My first guess is you like sex in the shower.
because the warmth of the water replaces the warmth of the body that I'm not with.
Oh, there we go.
My second guess is, I like sex in the shower because you can't see my tears.
Now, this, by the way, I will just say, this is pretty recent, so I can see maybe, I don't know if you remember it.
I remember it.
Okay, so if you know what it is, don't say until the very end.
This is one of our more popular tweets you've ever found.
This got two retweets and 25 likes.
That is bold standard as far as in tweetments.
are concerned. It's like Twitter
I deleted. It's still one platform
I can't do well. Like, you know,
TikTok and Sir, I'm great.
It just means that like I'm a lot
better looking than I am funny. And that's very
sad. It's very, it's very sad
actually. But let's see
our options here. I like sex
in the shower because
I like getting head and shoulders.
No.
Too clever from that.
I like sex in the shower because
wait, did you just say...
She can't
tell that I'm crying.
Or I like sex in the shower
because otherwise
she won't get wet.
Comics have some good leads on what it could be.
Yeah, I'm immediately discounting the first one because
it's way too clever for it.
Get the fuck out of here, bro.
Am I wrong? Is that some shit you would tweet?
What? The head and shoulders one?
No, dude, that's fucking lame as shit.
Dude, I'm not fucking...
Head and shoulders.
Which is exactly what someone would say about...
thing that's too clever.
So I'm going to go the second one because
that is what I said.
And Kate, are you going to go with the one that you said?
I might as well.
You might as well.
I like sex in the shower because she can't tell that I'm crying.
There it is.
Nailed it.
Dude, do you know what I, are y'all going to pull another one or just one?
Just the one.
Okay, because I had another one I thought y'all were going to pull.
Which one was it?
It was March.
I got pulled in for eight.
It was March of 2020, the height of the pandemic.
And it was during the toilet paper crisis.
And I said, hey, guys, if you ran out of toilet paper, call me.
I'll come over and lick your butthole clean.
That was in the running.
And then the HR lady said this, it's concerning.
I was an accountant before this.
Can you believe it?
Oh, my God.
I'm at all country, everybody.
I think you're a fucking good guy.
You were an essential worker.
Yeah, it was a good guy.
Let's go ahead and move on.
Kate Zazowski.
Come on down, Kay.
Make some noise for Kate as she gets been tweeted.
You can just take things right over there.
We got, by the way, okay, so you have a new Twitter handle.
It's your regular name.
Yeah.
Kate Zazowski.
Right.
You used to have one that was K, the number eight, and then Zazowski.
Yes.
I had to make them all uniform.
The curse of our industry.
You know.
But we did find a Twitter.
from K-8
Zezowski.
Wow.
We had to go look
on Internet Archive
and the only archive version
was a Japanese
archive of the tweet.
So that's why it's all in Japanese.
This is why it's all Kanji.
Still no likes or retweet.
No likes or retweet.
Just want to point that out.
Wait, is that Chinese or Japanese?
I just said it was Japanese.
Oh, okay.
Oh, my God.
All right, all right.
I thought he was going to for sure.
No, I was genuine.
Do you need these?
Oh, my God.
No, he's not.
clever enough to think of that one.
This one is from
2013 in June
June 25th. I have no idea.
Those Narnia kids
blank. You have no idea.
Well, I can't... I'm not going to say it.
Don't say it, just in case. I want to see if we
can get to what you would say now.
All right. Do you all have any idea what it is?
I'm Ed, Ben.
I can only
think of a potential
play on words
with being stuck in the wardrobe
and stuck in the closet. Something about
that or those Narnia kids
could absolutely fucking get it
tossed up
either option, either one works
I meant what about you, what do you think?
I was just going to say
those Narnia kids are clearly gay
right? Like it was like that's
especially just like the closet
joke yeah I was just getting with that
or you know
Wildcart those Narnia kids
be shopping you know
but I doubt
she's that kind of comic you know
By the way, in 2013, I was super closeted.
Oh, so those words were playing in.
We both kind of had the same.
Yeah.
Wardrop closet.
Yeah.
Did you have the I hate gay people type of closet of existence?
No, I was like a super energetic ally.
Theater kid.
In theater and youth group.
Oh.
Good places to be an ally.
So the fact that those Nardia kids are playing in a closet and an allegory for Jesus,
was probably just really relatable to you.
I was probably jerking off.
Yeah.
Just thinking about that lion.
All right, let's go ahead and see your options, Kate.
Those Narnia kids aren't nearly as anti-Semitic as those Hogwarts kids.
You know what?
Still on brand.
Those Narnia kids really just need to come out of the closet already.
Or those Narnia kids should watch out for Mr. Tumness.
has in-cell vibes.
Well,
Encel wasn't even as big.
What year was this?
This is 2013.
I don't think Insel was popular
enough to be a thing.
Have you seen Mr. Thomas?
Have you seen Mr. Thomas?
He does have Incel vibes.
This guy's got a manifesto.
Yeah, I will say during this time period,
I definitely thought he was cute.
Oh.
And In-Sel wasn't big until 2016.
I would know.
No, but no, it wasn't big until, like, what,
2016?
I don't hit that space bar, Tyler.
Let's see what are you all think it
You don't, if you're so up to date on your in-cell research.
Yeah, no, for sure, the second one.
The second one?
The second one?
Yeah.
Is it the second one?
I mean, I could guess the first one because you kind of look like a Hitler youth.
But like, but like, no, the second one, for sure.
Let's see if it's the second one.
It is the second one.
Yeah.
Nice.
Everybody's guessing them early.
This is also a first in history for the show.
Good news.
You all are just all smart.
Y'all know, y'all are good at comedy.
I mean, I was projecting.
It was just more of a psychological analysis than anything.
Make a lot for Kate Zazki, everybody.
Everybody's crushing it in Tweetman today.
And let's get it out for Ben Brainer.
It's time for Ben to get entweeted.
Breeder!
Okay.
But most of your tweets are not joke tweets.
No, they're just my real thoughts.
Exactly.
Or links to, like, shows, or.
posts and TikToks and stuff that you do.
But we did find you have an
alternate Twitter account from when
you first started comedy
in 2018.
Oh my God.
Everybody point and laugh.
Hit that tweet. At Comedy Brainer.
It's still out there.
Yeah. Huh.
I remember making that
now. Right now.
I remember making that.
There are not a lot of tweets on it.
It's all from 2018.
We found one that we think was interesting.
I don't think I would tell anyone if I won the lottery,
but if I did blank, got one retweet and two likes.
I'm pretty sure the retweet was from my regular Twitter.
It might have been.
I also think I know exactly what this is.
Okay, good.
I like that everybody's on it today.
Do you all have any potential, like, out-of-the-mind guesses right out of the game?
I'll give you guys a little hint.
This is probably more of a hint for Ahmed because he knows me better,
but this is not like a joke.
this is genuinely just like an opinion that I have
about what I would do if I won the lottery.
I don't think I would tell anyone if I won the lottery,
but if I did, I would fix the I4 highway in Florida,
in Orlando, Florida.
Or, but if I did, I'd be shopping!
Who knows?
Who knows what kind of comic he was back then?
Either way, it could work.
I4 won.
Incredibly.
The least deep cut.
It was, yeah.
I'm going to be honest,
When I visited you, it was
being on I4 and all around
it was probably one of the scariest moments of my life.
Like, God damn, that highway is fucking crazy.
Everyone's on meth.
Kate, do you have any guesses?
Well, you were starting out in comedy,
but if I did, I would buy
all the Instagram followers.
Oh, smart.
Good strategy.
Nobody gets that.
It's too inside baseball, but that is a good fucking career move.
All right, let's see what our options are.
Okay.
From at Comedy Ben or Comedy Brainerd,
I don't think I would tell anyone if I won the lottery,
but if I did, you'd know,
because I'd be wearing pants that fit.
I don't think I would tell anyone if I won the lottery,
but if I did, I'd play again.
Lux's on my side.
That is clever.
I don't think I would tell anyone if I won the lottery,
but if I did, grab some bath salts and meet me on the interstate.
We're eating faces tonight.
Oh, yes, that one.
Yes, I'm picking that one.
All my chips and that one.
This was like, I feel like this was the height of Florida man and bath salts.
It's got to be.
Yeah.
It's got to be that one.
I know which one it is.
Which one is it?
It's the pants one.
Ah.
Look at this man wearing pants that fit.
You have an expendable income.
Yeah.
I go to a tailor.
There you go.
Oh, you fucking made it, dog.
I'm so proud of you.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I hate earnestness.
Take away the points from my head for earnestness.
No, no, but you're fucking gay, dude.
How about that?
I called him gay.
I don't think they like that one.
Man, you guys...
You can't have two gay comics on one show.
Now, there we go.
You shouldn't say something like that, Ahmed.
Get some Ahmed points to gay.
And Ben, congratulations for knowing yourself.
Thank you, loud for Ben.
Now, we did, by the way.
Obviously, it's a 9-11 show.
We thought about legitimately during this round
writing every option being 9-11 theme
for all of you.
We couldn't,
we didn't have the brain power to do that.
I tweeted something today
about 9-11, actually.
Oh, you did?
Yeah, well, it was on thread,
so I threaded something today.
I don't fucking know what we're calling it,
but,
but it's 9-11 themed in a way
and it's really dumb.
You didn't see that gold?
Today must be really rough
for amnesia patients.
That's a good thread.
Thank you.
Good thread.
That's a good thread.
Good thread.
We did come up with one option for everybody, based on their tweets at least.
We did have Ahmed, I like sex in the shower because she'll go down faster than Tower 1.
For Kate, we have, those Narnia kids need to explain their love of Turkish delight.
Hashtag 9-11 truth.
And for Ben, we had, I don't think I'd tell anyone if I won the lottery, but if I did,
I'd make like a Saudi prince and fund another 9-11.
I don't need George for my own terrorists.
And that's entwement, everybody.
Make it loud for entwitment.
What are we doing on the scores?
It's been a wild game, Jay.
In third place, Kate with 1,550 points.
And second place, Ahmed, with 1,700 points.
And first place is Ben with 1850 points.
Very tight.
He's getting all the guesses right.
Everything is shifting.
I like this.
Let's go ahead and move on to our next round.
We did say, you know, we don't want to lean too hard
in doing 9-11 stuff for entwitement.
But we did want to do a whole round
about 9-11, why not? So this is a round
called, now that's what I call
music that was banned after 9-11.
Some of you all might
know about this, some of you all might not.
Do we have people here who were not alive
when 9-11 happened? I feel like we might have a couple
people who were not alive in the audience tonight when 9-11
happened. No, totally wrong?
Hey, we all remember. We all remember. Cheers
to remembering. All right,
so after 9-11 happened, there was this thing
that got released called the Clear
Channel Memorandum. The Clear Channel Memo
this radio station company owned a bunch of radio stations.
They said, hey, there's a bunch of songs that we don't think it's a good idea to play after 9-11.
Because people are going to remember, which seems counterintuitive because we are supposed to never forget.
Now, I was just going to let that one breathe for a sec, but you guys were not having it even if I did let it breathe.
I liked it.
Thank you, Kate.
You know what, give Kate like two points for me.
No, I only get only compliment me.
I'll go to points.
All right, fine.
I see how it is.
Yeah.
I liked how you stood up for yourself, Tyler.
That's the spirit
So we have some songs
That we've looked at the list
And we're going to see if y'all can guess
Which songs might have been banned
Which songs might not have been banned
So let's go and get everybody up here
Everybody makes noise for comics as they come up and play
Now that's what I call
Music That is banned after 9-11
Okay
Can we have to sit down or you want to stand?
You can stand, you can sit, however are you feeling?
Whatever you like?
You'll be seen either way.
Now, we have a few rounds for this.
The first round, it's going to be simple.
You're going to have one artist,
and you're going to choose between two songs
that could have been banned.
We got an example for you.
Which Alanis-Morissette's song was banned?
Ironic or right through you.
Do we have to ding in?
No, no, no, no.
Each of you are going to get one song,
or one artist, rather, to guess.
Okay, so this would just be one for...
Exactly.
Okay.
I mean, the correct answer,
does anybody in the audience think they know what the answer is?
Right through you?
Anyone else?
Anyone think it's ironic?
Everybody thinks it's right through you?
That's a shame because the answer is
ironic.
ironic was banned after 9-11.
Wait, where were these songs banned?
Across every clear channel radio station.
So banned from radio airplay de facto.
Yeah, I know.
It's going to be a hard game for me, man.
Because after 9-11, we were listening to Arabic music celebrating our victory.
Finally, they're laughing.
Oh, my God.
There's such a hard group to crack.
All right.
Ahmed, we're going to go and start with you.
Do you think you know which of these songs was banned?
This is by The Talking Heads.
Was it Psycho Killer or Burning Down the House?
Which one was banned?
I have no idea who's the Talking Heads.
Can anyone help me out on this?
Can I ask the audience?
Honestly, if you don't know Talking Heads,
you shouldn't be on the show.
That's a good point.
Go watch.
Stop making sense when it gets re-released.
Oh, I'm just going to go with
burning down the house
because, you know, tower,
you know, it was burning
so they have to jump off, all that stuff.
You got some people nodding
heavy in the audience.
They like this.
Let's hear the actual song.
It was burning down the house.
Good job.
I use my context clues, hell yeah.
That's all you need to do.
All right, let's go and move on to Kate.
Kate, do you know which of these songs
was banned by Frank Sinatra?
Was it New York, New York, or come fly with me?
Gotta be, come fly with me.
Let's hear the song. The correct answer is.
New York.
Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
Here's the crazy thing. There were like five Frank Sinatra songs that got banned.
Come Fly with me was not one of the songs that got banned.
Wow. My mind is blown.
I don't know how they did that.
Show are the towers.
All right, Ben, you've got yours coming up.
This one is by Jerry Lee Lewis.
Was it great balls of fire or a whole lot of shaking going on?
The shaking is for like essential tremors.
My gut is telling me great balls of fire.
Correct answer is.
Yeah, there you go.
Nice.
That's good stuff.
I was really big of the Jerry Lewis when I was like six.
Who wasn't?
Splush, splash, taking a bath.
That's not Jerry Lee Lewis, I don't think.
But you know what?
Sounds like them.
Sounds like Sessman Street.
The Rubber Ducky song?
That was not banned after 9-11, and it should have been.
Rubber Ducky, you're the one.
You make bath time so much fun.
Rubber Ducky, you're the one.
You listen to it backwards.
Go down and play.
I got to figure.
I'll workshop that one.
I'll figure it out.
You have to listen to it backwards, and that's where you hear.
That's where you hear, the Al-Qaeda recruitment tool.
You play it backwards.
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams.
Rubber Ducky.
Now we're going to move on to our next phase of now that's what I call music those band after 9-11.
I just love this slide so much.
I'm just so happy with how this game Photoshop.
It's a good one.
It's a very good one.
We'll take some claps.
Give everybody on the bench some points for that, Tyler.
I like support.
So we're going to go ahead and move on to our next round.
So now we're going to give you a choice between three songs by the same artist.
So it's a little bit harder.
Tyler, let's go and roll what Ahmed's is.
Okay, Ahmed.
which Dave Matthews band song was banned.
Crash into me, lie in our graves, or say goodbye?
Damn.
Yeah, I know, dude.
Damn, bro.
Everybody's trying to figure out which one it is.
I know, everyone.
The audience sounds like they had a few opinions.
I'm just going to go with...
I don't know.
You guys were wrong before.
Oh.
Like, can I...
I was thinking lying in our graves.
But you know what?
I'm going to just go with you guys.
Crash into me.
Let's go with Crotch Into Me.
All right.
Buzz Crash into me.
Yes, I love all of you.
I love you.
Good job.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
I have a free drink ticket, so if anyone wants it.
All right, you're going to.
Let's go ahead and see which band Kate is going to have to guess for her.
Oh, I can't?
Kate, you're guessing Queen songs.
Which Queen song was banned?
Don't stop me now.
We are the champions, or another one bites the dust.
Also, we didn't pick Queen just for you.
Just having to be that one.
Sure.
Do you guys know this one?
It's got to be, right?
Yeah.
But is it, don't stop me?
Another one bites the dust.
It's another one bites the dust.
But it is funny because when I was hanging out in the cave,
we were singing, we are the champions.
There is.
See the jokes.
All right.
Which band do we have for Ben?
Oh, Billy Joel.
Okay.
Was it only the good die young?
We didn't start the fire or Uptown Girl.
Which?
Which Billy Joel song?
It feels like you chose two that it could be
and one that it definitely isn't,
but that makes me think
that it's going to be the one
that it definitely isn't.
Which is?
Uptown girl, it definitely isn't.
But fuck, only the good die young is right there, isn't it?
Does anyone have a coin?
I don't have a coin.
I don't know if I have a coin.
Does anyone have a coin?
Does anyone have a coin?
Robert, you got a coin?
There's a coin shortage in America.
Oh, okay.
Oh, this guy in the back.
Yeah, there we go.
Get out there.
Go for it.
They didn't lead you astray.
Oh, we have one coin.
Make you loud for our one coin from our producer days.
One coin.
Okay.
Which, let's say.
I'll go, heads for only the good die young, tails uptown girl.
Okay.
It's heads.
It's heads.
Is it only the good die young?
It is.
That was good.
We wanted to trick,
because we did,
it is a very tricky one.
But 9-11 happened downtown.
So why would it be an uptown girl song?
Yeah,
well, of course she would attack downtown
because she hates it,
she's from uptown.
I guess,
I guess God is on your side.
Do you bet he wasn't the side
of those people in New York
on that's papal day.
Say that.
It depends on which side
you're paying attention to.
That's true.
Religion.
Okay, wow.
All right.
All right.
Too far, buddy.
Not my country.
Everyone was pointing at, everyone's pointing the Arab guy like say it.
Please.
And I have to say it.
It's the only way we're allowed to make the jokes.
Right, right.
I'll say it for you.
Thank you.
That table hates me right now.
I have a white ally.
A tester for that round, right?
Aloha Akbar.
What's it?
Do we have a tester for that round or no?
Oh my God.
No, we didn't do a tester, but we have, okay, let's do it in the end.
So we have one more.
We have one more.
I forgot about this.
Do you want to leave it open for everybody?
Yeah, if you guys want to guess and see if you can get extra points, let's go for it.
Which Bob Dylan song was banned on 9-11?
Forever Young, Blown in the Wind, or Knocking on Heaven's Door?
I'm pretty sure I know this.
Forever Young.
Forever Young, we got a guess for Forever Young from the audience.
I'm going to go blowing in the wind.
I'm going to go with knocking on Heaven's door.
I'm also going to...
What, by Forever Young?
Should I do Forever Young?
What's like with Forever Young?
Is it upbeat or slow?
Forever Young?
Sounds just like that.
It's just like that.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going with knocking on Heaven's Door.
We got Knocking on Heaven's Door.
I'm also going to do Knocking on Heaven's Door.
Okay, and we got Blown in the Wind.
Correct answer is.
Knockin on Heaven's Door.
All right, all right.
This version of the song and the Guns and Roses version.
We're both banned.
Be weird if they only bat one.
I know, it would be really weird.
Well, they did ban because Michael Jackson,
and Alien Ant Farm, they both did
Smooth Criminal, but only the Alien Ant Farm
version of Smooth Criminal was banned.
Wow. I know, weird.
It feels kind of racist. A little
bit. Somehow. I don't know
yet, but I'll figure it out.
Let's see our final round of
You want to explain it, or you'll mean to hit it first.
No, hit it first. All right.
Our final round of, now that's what I call music that's band
after 9-11. I just love this light so much. So the way this round
works, we have some
songs by some artists that were we had a lot
of music that was banned, a lot of
their songs were banned. Like, Raid Against the Machine, their entire song catalog was banned after 9-11.
I know. All of their music. So we want you guys to guess for this round, which song was not banned?
There are going to be four choices. You're going to have to pick the one that was not banned.
Ahmed, we're going to start with you. Tyler. Oh, wait, actually, let's show the example, because I forgot that we have an example.
Let's show the example. So this is which ACDC song was not banned. Highway to Hell, safe in New York City,
Thunderstruck, or Shot Down in Flans.
Sort of the audience on this one.
Oh, dude, Thunderstruck for sure was not.
Audience?
Thunderstruck.
Thunderstruck.
A med.
Do you all have any?
Amet's going with Thunderstruck?
I think Highway to Hell.
I think Safe in New York City is the one that was not that.
Thunderstruck.
It's a PR move.
Audience, audience, y'all help me out.
Audience, yeah, which one do you all think it was?
Thunderstruck?
Safe in New York City?
Yeah, it's a PR move.
They got to get something on the air that's telling people that's still okay to come.
Safe in New York City.
Hold on.
I'm not locking in.
I mean, this is not for no points.
Oh, then I'm going to go with Thunderstruck.
I mean, it's just such a fucking...
Thunderstruck.
You've been.
Thunderstruck.
I love it.
All the other songs were banned on 9-11.
Yeah, give yourselves a round of applause for getting that audience.
You knew the drill.
Thanks, guys.
All right.
Thanks.
Now we're playing for real.
Ahmed.
Your band that you have to guess for is Elton John.
Which one wasn't banned?
Benny and the Jets, Daniel, Rocket Man, or watching the planes go by?
I'm going to go with Daniel.
Do you know what Daniel is?
Actually, I don't think I've ever heard a Nellon John song.
Do you listen to music?
I know Benny and the Jets, for sure.
I'll explain what Daniel is after you.
Okay, okay, hold on, hold on.
Are you going to change your mind?
Yeah, audience, help me out here.
Yeah, that's why I was going.
It's just rocket, plane.
Yeah.
We're sticking with Daniel then.
I'm sticking with Daniel.
Tyler.
No.
No one knows this song.
It's watching the planes go by.
Oh, that one was not.
That one was not banned.
So, Ben, can you explain what Daniel was about?
Daniel, correct me if I'm wrong, if you know this.
But I'm pretty sure Daniel is about Elton John's son dying,
and he died by being thrown off a balcony.
Damn.
There's a conspiracy that Elton did it himself to get inspiration to write more music.
Damn Daniel.
Oh, Daniel.
But there's also a conspiracy that George Bush did 9-11.
Daniel's was an inside job.
Either way, we don't know.
Let's go ahead.
He was an outside job.
You guys don't take it back.
Oh, no, it was him that gave me the wrong answer.
It's a takeaway a couple of Roberts points, too.
I think for sending up out of the wrong direction.
All right, let's go ahead and see what Kate's band or musician is.
Oh, it's the Beatles.
Which Beatles song wasn't banned, Kate?
Was it a day in the life, ticket to ride, If I Fell, or Lucy in the Sky with diamonds?
You think it's If I Fell?
Not a Day in the Life?
You got some real music heads in the back.
If I fell?
You think it's what?
I have no idea, so I'm really just...
Day in the Life.
I think it's a day in the life.
That seems the most innocent.
I'm going to lock that in.
All right, let's hear what the actual song is.
It's If I Fell in Life.
It's If I Fell.
Who said it was the guy's in the back.
You guys got points to it.
Let's give them some points in the back for getting them right if I fell.
Our music guys.
Nice.
Let's go and move on to Ben.
Your musician is Bruce Springsteen.
Which song was not banned?
I'm going down.
I'm on fire.
War or no surrender.
We did invade Iraq and Afghanistan right after.
What?
We did?
That's a part of history.
I totally forgot about it.
They started it.
Okay, so I'm going to guess I'm going down was banned.
I'm going to guess I'm on fire was banned.
It's between no surrender and war.
They've got to be no surrender.
They've got a pretty high hit rate in the back.
Can anyone sing part of no surrender?
I cannot think of it.
Yeah, but war is what actually happened.
The other thing is war, if I'm remembering correctly, is an anti-war song.
It was.
It is war.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing.
which is not something that America would want on the radio with it.
That's not the Bruce Springsteen version.
That's some other guy.
No, that was a rush hour theme song.
I thought that was Bruce too.
I don't know.
Maybe wrong, but you know what?
I'll lock in, no surrender.
Locking it in, let's hear it.
It was no surrender.
Congratulations, everybody.
And that was, now that's what I call music.
That was banned after 9-11.
That was fun.
Everybody go ahead and take your seats again.
Tyler, it's time to recap those scores real quick.
What a wild round that was.
In third place, Kate, with 2,000 points.
In second place, Ahmed, with 2,150 points.
And in first place, it's Ben with 2,250 points.
Nice.
Very close game.
Very good.
Close game.
Now, folks, we're going to take a little break.
We have Melanie coming around, by the way.
Or Daisy Green's going to come around.
We have a tip jar.
Tip the comedians, if you like.
like what's going on in the show. Give them a little tip.
You can just drop a couple bucks in the jar.
There are days you can come around while we have a word
from our sponsor. And by the way, make sure you take
care of your bartenders here tonight.
We got Walter and
Rachel. John's back. And John's back.
And they're in the back. Make some noise for your bar staff. And we'll be right
back with a word from our sponsor.
In just a minute.
Well, it finally happened.
Your mom divorced your dad.
And in the process,
created a monster.
A guitar shredding monster.
Now your dad can finally be who he's always meant to be.
A barely passable recreational guitar player.
Wait a second.
Is that your old neighbor Nancy cozying up to pop-all?
Divorced Dad Guitar Center.
It's exactly like a regular guitar center, but sadder.
Make it loud for this month's sponsor,
Divorce Dad Guitar Center, everybody.
Our comedians have all gone to the bathroom,
except for Ahmed, who's stake around,
which is good news, because you get to talk to our audience members
who we're going to give them a couple prizes now, too.
You ready?
Yeah, let's do it.
We have, you guys all submitted what you,
why your weeks were fucked up, by the way,
which we appreciate.
Thank you for doing that.
We do just want to highlight a few of our favorites.
We would like to start with,
I mean, honestly, Tyler, which one do we want to go with between these two?
These are both really good.
They're both really good.
They're both really good.
This one? Okay. This one is from Madeline.
Hey, no bucket hat girl.
No bucket hat girl.
What's up?
In Madeline, you went over the five-word limit, but it's okay because this is really fucked up.
I was almost waterboarded by an eight-year-old.
Holy shit.
What did you do to the eight-year-old?
Yeah, what did you do to the eight-year-old?
eight-year-olds. Very on theme.
Rough in the water there, and I'm not
a strong swimmer.
It feels like you were trying
to actively drown an eight-year-olds.
It sounds like maybe you were just drowned by an
eight-year-olds. Oh, she almost drowned
you. You didn't.
Yeah. We had somebody
who submitted on our
digital QR code.
Robert, right here,
watched a baby stroller burn.
What was in it, Robert?
Was that on Hollywood Boulevard?
What was in it, Robert?
I want to be very specific and very careful with how you answer this question.
But what was in the baby carriage?
I didn't see.
I just saw a guy.
Was it making noises by chance?
Maybe like, wha?
I just heard the bird.
That is a haunted man who just said that.
We have one more that I think is worth highlighting here.
We have, let's see.
Linda
Linda where are you at Linda
Oh god damn it
Linda all right
Fuck you Linda we're moving on
We have Jenny
Is Jenny here
Jenny right there
Jenny
Five words the last why are you just fucked up
Shrooms
Forest dirt hole toilet
Oh I've been there
I've been there plenty of times
You were there like a couple months ago
Yeah I was yeah yeah
It was fucking awesome
Jenny, was your shroom trip otherwise good besides having to use a dirt hole in the forest as a toilet?
Good news for Jenny.
I would like to ask one question.
Did you have, like, wet ones on you?
Fireway.
Did you have wet ones?
Did you just spit on the toilet paper?
Did you lose your phone at the end of this shroom strip?
No, I didn't.
Ahmed, maybe you could take notes.
Well, I was first off, I was on Molly and shrooms.
Okay.
Ooh, hippie flipping.
All right.
and good on you.
So you just like use the wet one
or spat on a toilet paper.
What did you do?
You what?
She used the toilet paper.
You didn't have someone to lick your butthole clean?
Like this man is just dying.
I was just going to get there.
I mean, he was not true, but the Molly beat to the punch.
Well, let's go ahead and give some prizes out.
Audience prizes. Jenny, you're going to get a sticker.
Make some noise.
We got Robert and Madeline are both going to get stickers.
Linda's back.
Linda, you're back?
Linda, we thought.
you had something fucked up, but you know what?
Your time has passed, but we'll give you a sticker anyway,
just because we liked what she said.
Makes noise for Linda, everybody.
She was outside vaping or taking her call or something,
and I don't have time to figure out what it was.
Let's go and move on to our next round,
the discomfort zone.
Ooh, ah.
Okay, you guys have given up on energy this round?
All right, take two. Do it again. Do it again.
No, no, they just created a discomfort zone for comedians
by being deadly quiet.
I like the sound of that.
Let's go ahead and think.
This is how round works, Tyler.
Yeah.
I don't know why I'm explaining this to you.
You already know how this one works.
It's because I have warm eyes over here,
and you know that I'm a true American.
I just get sucked in.
So the way this works is we have asked all of our comedians,
all sorts of stuff over the course of the night, right?
But this time we did some digging.
We did some research into their past.
We have found some things that we have questions about
tailored to each individual comedian.
They're going to have some uncomfortable questions.
questions to answer, and they're going to do it in the most funny way possible.
I'm excited to see how this one goes. We're going to start off with a metal cadre.
Make it loud for a man. Come on down. Get into the discomfort zone.
Come on down. I got to get up. All right. He was making like plane number four and barely
making it anything. Would you like to take a seat? You can stand. It's up to you. Sometimes
people like to sit for this one. Oh, okay. Oh shit. It's like that. It's like that.
So you forgot about your Twitter.
Yeah.
Did you remember that you have a blog?
No.
You do.
You have a blog on WordPress.
Oh, fuck.
No!
What is that?
What is this?
Is this something stock from WordPress?
It was WordPress.
Yeah, I was just kind of like be more of a legitimate comedian.
If you turn around...
Hey, lo and behold, still not a legitimate comedian.
If you turn him around and lift his shirt, that's actually what's on his lower back.
Oh, you like that.
that. Thematic.
We looked on your blog. It's got a few
things on there. It's got a bio that you wrote.
This is the very beginning
of it. I'm first generation Yemeni American.
My father came to this country and worked very
hard to put me through college, just so I could throw it
all away and become a comedian.
Classic comic, disappointing the parents job.
Very, very, not very
stock, low-hanging fruit. Of course, we
disappoint our parents. We found you also
another job that may have
disappointed your parents' runway modeling.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, we got this one of you in this little blue gradient number.
I'm straight again.
We got this one of you doing a Hamilton tryout here in the middle.
We got this one of you getting colonized over on the far side.
I think the middle one was his audition for Aladdin.
So, you know what, still, I'm sad because, gosh, I had full head of hair.
The one on the left looks like a PowerPoint slide.
Synergy.
You know what's funny? I didn't realize.
Turns out that's like, isn't that like the
gay flag or the,
or something like that?
What?
No, no, no, no, no, no, hang on.
You mean the rainbow?
No, not the rainbow. Not the rainbow.
It was, I wore this for a sketch
and then a lot of the comments, it was like the flag
for like, you know how like each of the letters
have their own flag? I don't know.
Anyone gay here? Someone help me out here.
Is it ISIS? Is it ISIS?
No, ISIS is way better.
That's the I and LGBTQIA is ISIS.
I don't know if you all do that.
It was like colors of like a flat plant.
I don't know.
I don't know.
It does look like a still frame
from a Twilight movie, though.
Yeah, this is so embarrassing.
Yeah.
But between this job,
comedy and runway modeling,
it seems your family's still on board
with what you're doing.
They're supporting what you're doing.
And with this in mind,
my father always reminded us
that no matter what we do,
we are representing the people of Yemen
and Muslims all over the world.
I know.
Dude, that's so lame.
We have a very important question for you.
Oh, God.
What is the one job that would disappoint your parents so much
that they'd give up on the American dream
and move back to Yemen?
The one job?
The one job that you could have
because runway modeling didn't do it.
Comedy didn't do it.
What's going to make them go back to a country
that is in the middle of a civil war
before the one that's about to have a civil war?
Yeah, I was thinking gay porn for sure.
Sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, like, if you wear that jacket, it'll be okay.
I'm gonna...
Yeah, I'm gonna have to go with gay porn, for sure.
Yeah, that's the only thing I could think of.
On purpose, or...
Yeah, yeah.
Mom, dad, it was a mistake.
Like, gay porn, and then I have to be, like, out from,
like, I'm a Yemeni gay porn star.
Also, look at me, everybody.
Before the drastic music ends,
I want to make a really dark,
personal joke, but I don't know if it's this thing that you're comfortable with.
I had to fucking go.
Go for it.
What kind of job do you think would make your dad get up and leave?
Well, my dad did die of COVID.
That's why it's up.
So, oh, God.
No country, everybody.
He got COVID on the flight.
It was bad.
And he was immune compromise.
Another Muslim dies on a plane.
Another guy.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, I'd have to go with gay porn if that answer is.
That's good. That's a good answer for Ahmed.
Another Muslim died on a plane.
I don't know if anyone else got that, but Tyler, that's a good.
All right.
Let's go ahead and move on.
Kate, come on.
And welcome Kate to the discomfort center, everybody.
Makes noise for Kate.
Okay, Kate.
I don't know the question, but my answer is also gay porn.
So we did some research.
We found the origins of your country.
comedy career when you were at Ithaca College.
Found this article from the
Ithaca newspaper. Ithaca College's
comedy clubs unite for professional success.
We've got a picture right here of you
and your comedy club, the icy
stand-up club, right there in the middle.
Look at that. Still deeply closeted, I would assume, at the time.
Yeah. Very white as well.
Very white.
Well, Michelle, yeah.
We got one Asian lady over here in the corner.
Oh, you mean everyone's white.
I think it's interesting. Oh, no, everybody was white.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Up to New York.
We even got a guy doing white face.
That's how white.
Oh, plot twist.
Could have fooled me.
Was this an improv troupe?
No, this is a stand-up club, right?
I know you're a white man, but I do want to point out you are, again, for getting the Asian woman on the right there.
Yeah, he mentioned that.
I did.
Did you say that?
Yeah, he already mentioned that.
Did not listen to you.
It's okay.
Everybody else forgot about it too.
You didn't listen to him.
What is he?
woman? Come on now. I only listen to Tyler.
Now, we do have
a clip from your set that you did
here at Gotham Comedy Club.
Let me just make sure the audio is up so we
can all hear. Oh, dude, that's my fucking nightmare.
This is a joke.
You had a version of the set
posted on your website, and this
set you removed,
and we found it on the Ithaca
stand-up club's YouTube
page. All right.
Let's see how much I've grown. It's a joke about
a Halloween costume. Roll that clip, Tyler.
In middle school, that movie Soul Surfer was really big, where the girl's arm gets bit off by a shark.
That's what I wanted to be for Halloween.
She's pretty messed up, but I wanted to take one of those shark hats that looks like it's biting her head off and sew it to my sleeve.
It was really messed up.
It was super.
And my mom told me I couldn't because it was inappropriate, which was totally right.
But I still wanted to be someone with a disability, so I want to serpated.
Horrible.
Pretty decent joke.
We know you have clearly, based on that joke, a love of disabled people, especially for Halloween costumes.
So keeping Halloween in mind, please tell this audience, rank your top three disabled people.
Say, Stephen Hawking.
Now, wait, by the way, is this from the bottom up?
Is this like 3-2-1?
No, he's the first one that came to mind, so he'd be number one.
Okay, he's number one.
Stephen Hawking, number one.
Donald Trump.
Too easy.
Who was the first woman with Down syndrome in Glee?
The first, uh, I, do you, does it look like I know a whole lot about the Glee class?
Actually, yeah, it does.
It does look like I know a lot about the glee class.
She's the one that brought the gun to the school.
It's a fact.
Look it up.
That's true.
That's a good point.
Um, all right.
And, uh, my friend Danielle Perez, who's a comedian.
Daniel Perez is a great choice.
She's great. She's good people.
But is that, is that in order?
Are you going to go Stephen Hawking, Down syndrome?
I'll write Daniel number one.
Okay.
like that. Very good. Makes a noise for
Cadesowski, everybody.
It would be really uncomfortable
if she ranked Daniel lower than
the girl with down syndrome.
By the way,
I am shocked. We all thought
you were going to include Helen Keller on there.
Helen Keller seems like a top tier pick.
You're right.
I couldn't see.
What about Oscar Pistorius?
Oh, that's, I mean, he just murdered his wife
though, so that shows anybody can do it.
Stop me.
Let's go and move on to Ben Brainer.
Ben, come on down.
Enter the discomfort zone.
All right, Ben.
So we have some people here who, I'm guessing, are fans of Ben's.
For those of you who are not fans of Ben's,
you may not know he has a very big TikTok following
because he does, this thing.
It's called The Table, the series of sketches.
We have this little thing on your Twitter bio.
You just play all the different states, basically.
we are curious by the way
these are all white but what are these races
supposed to be here on the sides next to the president
I think those are
that's when I try to do tan face
there we go
you know I didn't
the person who designed these I didn't
I didn't really care all that much about like that
so I got sent to design
and I was like okay
and I do think it says more about her than me
because she actively made the new Mexican character
and the Texan character shades darker than the rest of that.
Isn't someone here who did that?
But they're not the ones who made those designs, I don't think.
They're the ones that post them for me now.
I see.
But Ben, you're like, you could get that dark, can you?
Yeah, no, I can get, you.
Aren't you, like, half Hispanic?
I don't know my dad.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Hey.
For those, you can get an idea of what Ben does.
We have one of his videos here.
Just so you can get an idea of what we're working with here.
How's everyone doing?
I'm on fire.
I got tornadoes.
At least nothing is contaminated?
Well, no.
Just don't drink the wood.
Also, a couple barges are stuck in the Ohio River.
In the what?
Have they tipped or leaked?
One with meffinol in it, did.
Oh man, I'm gonna have to light the river on fire again.
What? No! Don't do that.
Oofta, you had a spill to?
Two?
It ain't a spill.
It's just a boat.
Fill with meth and all tipping all.
over in the river. It's different. Oh, you said
methanol? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Mine didn't have methanol. Thank God.
It had ethanol. That's not better.
It's safe to drink the water again. I don't know
what water is.
See, there you go. Ben doing a bunch
of different characters being in a bunch of different states.
Great hair. So far
this feels a lot nicer than the other two.
Don't you worry?
We have
discovered in researching
you that you, because,
you have a big TikTok following, now you've
started to show up in just like regular news
or at least like regular internet news,
right? Like you've shown up causing
controversy for
essentially sports
which is an AI generated sports website.
Don't fucking clap for them. Renowned TikToker
makes a mockery out of NASCAR's
$50 million Chicago race.
And I'll fucking do it again.
We found this one from the New York Post
pretty recently. Comedian Ignites
debate over best karaoke songs to perform.
Shout out to wrong, by the way.
That's actually, wrong is the comment
left by Frank Caliando
on that post.
One person knows who that is here, and that's fine.
Frank Caliando.
Frank Caliando, he did all the impressions.
He was Mad TV back in the...
Yeah, yeah, that guy, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We had...
Ahmed does live in a cave, I think he said.
That's true.
We had all of this research that we did,
but your controversies
do not come up about the states posts.
So we figured it might be time for you to have a controversial opinion about the states.
So what three states definitely won't survive the next civil war?
California will survive.
There's too many of us.
There's not enough troops.
See, your immediate thought is always going to be like the Midwest ones, like Iowa and Nebraska.
But those are going to be the most dangerous because it's just corn and people who own rifles.
I think it's going to be one of these trade route in mid-Atlantic places.
So like Delaware, I don't think Delaware will survive.
Delaware is a business capital city.
Delaware is going to go.
I think it's going to be right around the capital area.
So I think Delaware is probably going to go.
Maryland will die, but will last longer than people thought it would.
I think Baltimore is going to put up a real.
big fight.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm going to go
Virginia
specifically because
nobody is going to
take the time to figure out
what side of the war Virginia is on
before they all just fuck up
Virginia.
Do you have, by the way, for bonus points.
I have not as familiar if you have
these states queued up ready to go.
But could you play out
their last days in the Civil War?
as Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia?
Delaware doesn't have anything special.
So it was just, like me doing an impression of Delaware
is me just doing an impression of Joe Biden.
Which means Delaware would be dead
and then go, there was a Civil War.
And Maryland, see, the thing with,
I want to make these jokes,
but the jokes I make are so specific about the state.
Like, the thing with Maryland,
everybody in Maryland doesn't agree on whether Maryland is a as a northern state or a southern state.
It's like a big fight.
They're mid-Atlantic, but that's not really a region people acknowledge.
So Maryland spends a lot of time fighting over whether or not it's the north of the south.
So I think a big part of that would be people in Maryland going,
wait, we're shooting them in the blue?
Ah, shit.
I've been shooting the red ones this whole time.
Fuck, man, it's all obey to me.
That's all it is.
and then Virginia
would be
hey you guys know the first time we had
one of these West Virginia was born
we don't have to do another one
oh he's right behind me
it was really nice knowing you all
thank you so much
make on for Ben Brainer and everybody
on the spot
Baltimore did
kind of sound like they're from the south
might as well
I mean they shot
the wire in Baltimore. So I feel like
Omar coming. That's going to stop
all the Civil War. I know one thing
that Baltimore and Maryland can all agree on.
What? That's Ray Lewis had nothing to do
with that stabbing the night before the Super Bowl.
Yeah. Women are
liars.
You're thinking of Ray Rice, I think. Different
Ray for the Baltimore Ravens. Two hardcore
sports fans here. Oh, yeah.
A lot of 9-11 fans. No sports
fans here tonight. And you'd think
that they would combine more because right after 9-11,
the American military made a
deal paying the NFL to make sure
that we play the national anthem before every single
game since November 11, 2001.
You know, the New York Jets
are literally playing tonight on 9-11.
There was a weather delay.
Everyone had a shelter and place warning
in New Jersey, but in the New York
Jet Stadium on the night of 9-11.
Aaron Rogers got hurt.
Aaron Rogers did get hurt.
It's my dad's team and I just know he's crying
right now.
Fun fact about the New York Jet.
Robert Sala,
head coach, the first
Arab Muslim American
head coach, yeah, of the New York
Jets. I don't want to steal
it's a Son-a-Majic joke.
I don't want to take it. But basically...
Oh, that was just a fun fact.
I know, no, but it was just funny. It's like how an Arab-American
coach is changing the trajectory
of the New York Jets.
That is very good. That is funny.
It's not my joke.
Shana-O-Majan-A-Jose.
Yeah, they were very bad team and now they're better.
Yeah, yeah.
Jay, I just want to point out how easy it is.
I get two guys on a microphone to turn this into a sports podcast.
Right.
Turned like that.
All right, all right.
Let's talk about next week, guys.
See you guys.
Let's get the line up soon.
Who's your lock of the week?
Bird to beating Vikings on Thursday now.
For daily...
Let's see.
But the child porn joke is mine, so I'm just saying.
Oh, we know.
Oh, we can tell.
So let's go ahead and get to our scores before we enter the final round, Tyler.
How is everybody doing as we enter our final round?
All right.
we have Ahmed with 2,650 points.
In second place, it's Kate with 2,900 points.
In first place, it's Ben, with 3,000 points.
I see.
What?
Whose dick do I have to suck to get to second place again?
Mine.
I was going to say that, but it's way funny that you took it.
Yeah, that's great.
Because mine's bigger than yours.
Yeah.
Suck my clit, Ahmed.
Well, good news.
In the final round, everything can change.
because this is time for the pallet cleanser round.
Tyler's a little bit behind on all the things today.
You're supposed to hit it there.
Yeah, there you go.
You hit it again.
Everybody booed Tyler again, Roe-Bakes.
Just for being this slow on the update.
You're doing it.
You're doing it.
Thank you.
How dare you.
Unless I didn't get points for that, then...
Fuck you.
Okay, boo.
I'll boo.
Boo, Tyler, boo.
Folks, this has been a little bit of, you know,
it's a dark show, right?
We can all say that's a dark show,
but we want you to go home
with a nice piece near route.
So we've asked all of our comedians to get their cleanest, most wholesome joke ready to cleanse your palettes on your way home.
And here's the thing.
At this point, y'all are going to decide who wins.
You are going to make it loud, plazometer style for whoever you think.
Wait, Jay, Jay, wait.
It's 9-11.
Make a wish.
Where's George?
All right, continue on.
All right, let's move forward.
Each of these comedians, you have your set amount of points.
Now we can see, just like Final Jeopardy style,
you're going to bet some points.
You can either risk it all or play it safe
and think that maybe your joke is going to be better than everybody else's.
I'm had to start with you.
You're in third place.
Are you going to play it safe or risk it all?
I'm just going to risk it all.
I like the fucking sound of that.
Kate, what are you going to do?
Are those the only options?
Those are the only...
We're not going to make Tyler do too much extra math.
I'll play it safe, I guess.
Okay, okay, playing it safe.
Ben?
I want to wager as long as,
long as I can wager exactly 2,089 points.
They said two options.
No, I'm sorry, yeah, 2000.
Okay, here's.
I want my final score to be 911 if I lose.
All right.
I feel like, you know, because Ben did the math in advance, we'll allow that.
Kate, you know, we'll let you take.
What do you want to wager?
Can I do 2,000?
Sure.
I just don't have zero.
I was hoping you were,
I was hoping you were also going to do the math to make your score 9-11, but you know
what? We don't have enough prizes for that.
You know what? We're just going to do it. I just decided.
Tyler's going for it. Let's hear how we're
going to start things off with our palate cleanser.
Make it a lot of her. Amad al-Cadry with his
clean, wholesome joke!
Oh, Matt El-Cadry!
Go with a wholesome joke. All right, let's do this.
So,
so actually, funny enough,
I actually celebrated Christmas
for the first time last year.
Yeah, exactly.
And here's a thing. I've never celebrated
Christmas because, you know, Islam's a true religion.
And I'm just kidding, it's Scientology.
But I remember, I went to my best friend, Ryan, went to St. Louis, and we celebrated Christmas.
We did the whole thing.
We did the gingerbread cookies.
We like sing hymns at the church, all sorts of things.
Yeah, and here's the thing.
I grew up, and they bought me like a Nintendo Switch too, so that was really cool.
Yeah, I know.
Game changer.
Here's the thing.
I'm almost so my whole life, but like I still remember that.
that Christmas morning I woke up in my onesie, went downstairs under the Christmas tree,
saw the Nintendo's, open the gift, saw that Nintendo sign?
I was like, in Jesus' name.
And the Holy Ghost, what's the third one?
I don't know.
Go Jesus.
All right.
But I kind of screwed him over because when we went back to L.A., I kind of screwed him over
because my sister, she wears a hijab.
And unless your father, son, brother, or uncle, you can't really touch or hug Muslim.
Ryan is from St. Louis.
They eat brisket and hug people.
It's what they do.
My sister, Medium, walks into the apartment.
Ryan goes for a hug, she pulls back.
So then Ryan goes for a handshake.
She crosses her arms.
So then Ryan awkwardly started doing the robot.
She looks at me.
I awkwardly started doing the robot.
You got this, Ryan.
Let's dance our way to hell, brother.
This must have hell.
Not Christian hell.
Way worse.
No Wi-Fi.
Thank you guys so much.
Keep it on.
A metal country, everybody.
Go ahead and coming out over here and make a lot for Kate Zazowski.
Ken Zowski.
lately I've been casually dating, which is basically regular dating, but the boss loves you wear jeans.
And that's one joke, one line from Kate Zoski.
And make it loud for Ben Brainer.
Beiners.
Cleans in our palettes.
I think the first.
first possum to play dead
was just really passive-aggressive.
Thank you. That's a very, that's a very joke.
Ben Brainerd, everybody.
Oh, man. Well, Ahmed is peeing right
now, so he can't, even, you know, Ben and Kate,
y'all come on out here.
Let's see.
I'll make it hear us in the bathroom. He'll hear it.
Can you bring his microphone into the bathroom
and just, I just want to make sure we get a fair reaction
from him. Yeah, get in there, Tyler.
Yeah, just go in there.
I hope that it can go.
into the bathroom. We haven't tested this before.
I'm here in the bathroom, Jay.
And keep just getting it right up.
What's it look like in there?
Everybody, go ahead and make it loud if you think
Ahmed won the Palaklins around.
Okay.
Better than I thought.
Let's go ahead and make it loud
if you think Kate Zazowski won the Palakins
around. It's pretty good.
It's pretty good. All right, let's hear
if you think Ben Brainerd won the Palaklons around.
Don't fucking pity clap.
No.
Honestly, I think we have a definitive winner.
I think so.
And I think our definitive winner, let's say at the same time, Tyler.
Hey, Kisks!
Ben does get to walk away with 911 points, as Allah intended.
Alahu Akbar, everybody.
All right, this crowd was too white and weird for me.
Everybody gets to go home with prizes.
Tyler, tell them what they want.
Well, third place, first off, all prizes are found on the streets of Los Angeles.
Just so everyone knows.
place. It's the plot to destroy
democracy from Malcolm Nance.
I think there was
a couple, they broke up, and they read
a lot of political books, and left them on the street, and I found
it. All right. The next one,
definitely a right-wing, hardcore
nationalist. It's Sacred America
fulfilling our mission in the sacred world.
Check
out some of the titles of the chapters in there.
Let's take a look. Yeah, let's take a look at some of the chapters.
Tupy the 100%.
By the way, this has a foreword by
Mary Ann Williamson, so the politics of this book
probably all over the fucking place.
How about rebalancing, feminine
and masculine?
Political cross-training.
And my favorite, of course, healing the legacy of slavery.
Occupy the 100%.
America 7.0.
That's the first chapter of the book. What were the other six
versions? I don't know. Healing the legacy
of slavery. Classic stuff.
I think,
you know, let's just stop talking about. This is the best
way to heal it. That's what I think personally.
And our grand prize winner,
it's Guerrilla Warfare by
Che Guevara.
Again, I found this on the street.
Also, if you look at the front,
Kate, right there in the front, black marker,
it's the teacher version. I don't know what that means.
That's the teacher's edition of the Che Guevara
Book. Folks, make a lot for all of our comedians
tonight. I'm at Alcadry, Kate Zazowski,
Ben Brainerd. That's been Tyler Merserich. I've been Jay Light.
