and you can't afford an actual attorney.
They always make that move, don't they?
They cash it out.
Then they move to the private firm.
Yeah, that's what happens when you work for like, you know, you work for like the S,
you know, the fucking stock exchange, just like a regulatory person.
You go cash it in at JP Morgan.

Orange County's pretty good.
The mean streets of Laguna.
We were doing well.
What's up?
Any brothers or sisters?
Yes, got one sister.
I'm the black sheep of the family as a comedian.
She's partner at an accounting firm.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, so she's doing all right.
She got into Stanford, turned it down
for a full academic scholarship to USC.
Damn.
So yeah.
And then I went to USC because they felt sorry for me and they needed a diversity hire.
So I win.
It's a win.
Hey, I got it.
The kids in.
Let's go.
Don't say that on the degree, baby.
Let's go.
Oh, well, if I had a degree, I dropped out.
Do your parents still live in the same house that you grew up in?
Mom just moved out.
Not to take the story a little dark, but dad passed away two years ago.
Sorry to hear that.
So it's okay.
So when dad passed, mom didn't want to be in the house.
Sure.
So downgraded to a lovely small home in Huntington Beach.
Seven bedroom.
Seven bedroom.
Only something small I can manage.
Only seven.
And Huntington Beach.
Huntington Beach.
All right.
Yeah, so a lot of angry white conservatives there.
There you go.
So that's our surrounding. So what we use
we like to ask people what the name of the street was that they
grew up on and since no one lives there tell us. Yucca. Yucca.
Yucca Lane or Avenue Avenue. Canish Boulevard. Yucca trees.
Yeah. Yeah. You know what a yucca tree is. Yeah. That's how
poor we are. It's not what you'd say when you see the street.
OK.
What was the house like?
Big house?
They call it try level.
It's a fancy word for three story.
Yeah, there was one room as you enter the front door.
You turn to your right.
There's a room.
It's a very lovely living room.
It's always very well decorated.
My family and I called that the Christmas room,
because that's the only time we'd go in there.
Really?
It was just on Christmas.
That's where the tree was.
That's where the tree was.
That's where you sat.
That's a Christmas room.
Yeah, Christmas room.
That East Wing is deep, man.
Here's the thing, though.
But then my dad, like, we were doing well.
But in the summer, first of all, we
had to beg my dad
to finally get air conditioning in the house.
Really?
Beg, beg.
When he finally did, you could never run that thing.
That shit cost money.
No shit.
That shit cost money.
Damn.
Man, no AC.
No AC.
In Orange County?
In Orange County.
That's crazy.
No coastal breezes.
So I wasn't, you know.
Are you wearing the richest family on the block? The richest family. We did okay. No coastal breezes, so I wasn't, you know. You weren't the richest family on the block.
We weren't the richest family.
We did okay.
Financially comfortable, but inside very uncomfortable.
Yeah, we did just fine as my,
Fitson, as my dad always describes upper middle class.
You know, like, so not middle class, not rich,
upper middle class.
What was your car whipping,
what was your dad whipping around town?
Benzo.
What did he drive?
Benzo.
That's a status class.
As a defense attorney in Orange County,
you gotta be whipping, I ain't trusting you with the case if you're rolling it to
Corolla. Yeah, he had a Benz for a while. He had a Red Lexus for a while. I love that Red Lexus.
Man, that screams I'll get you off if the price is right. Red Lexus. That's got
judge pay off. Lices plate, give me a call. Yeah. Yeah, thankfully he wasn't those billboard lawyers.
They're crazy.
They're the best now.
I'm fascinated.
I don't know if this is going to be a premise for me,
but every town I go to has its billboard lawyer.
Sure.
So I'm in Los Angeles.
Our billboard lawyer is Sweet James.
Sweet James.
And that's all the billboards you see.
Sweet James, baby.
I'll get you off.
Yeah, exactly.
But every town has their billboard lawyer.
My favorite one is, they talked about him
on John Oliver's show.
He's a lawyer down in Texas.
He's the Texas Hammer.
We've seen that guy.
You wanna be repped by the hammer. He holds a sledgehammer. He's commercial Texas Hammer. We've seen that guy. You wanna be repped by the hammer.
He holds a sledgehammer.
Yes, yes.
He's like, I'm the Texas Hammer.
And he talks exactly like you want the Texas Hammer to talk.
We see him on the highway.
It's always like when you injure it in a car accident.
Yeah.
Dude, all Texas always has hit by a truck.
Question mark.
He's like, what the fuck?
What the hell's going on down here?
Are you called a shovel? Are you in jail? Is there a wall that what the fuck? What the hell's going on down here? Are you called a shovel?
Are you in jail?
Is there a wall that goes the outside?
Called a Texas Harimer.
You accidentally shoot your buddy?
Texas Harimer.
Accidentally said quotes.
So I'm glad he wasn't the billboard lawyer.
That's good.
A little bit more cachet than a billboard lawyer.
All right.

Back at that age, so like teenage, what was the first car?
Oh.
Your first car.
First car was- Would your dad hook you up or did you have to work for it?
It was new. Don't get me wrong.
But it was a Toyota Tacoma.
That's a...
Okay, the pickup.
That's a bad truck.
Yeah.
Good.
Dad put one of those caps on the...
The cab.
On the bed.
Yeah.
So it could go up, but I had, you know,
so you could lock the bed and you could secure things in there.
Yeah.
So yeah, Brett was a new car, so I did all right.
That's good.
Pick up truck with the cab on it.
That's got a bunch of fertilizer in it.
I don't like that at all.
Well, that's so your friends don't ask you to move.
That was literally why you put the cab on it.
So you can't put a lot of stuff on it.
Couchstrap bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you can't put a lot of stuff on it. Couch snuff in.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's very lawyer mentality.
I like that.
What was the first job?
First job, all right.
OK, first job was I worked, you know,
the mall store hot topic?
Of course.
You worked at hot topics.
I worked at hot topics.
I walked in there because I listened to a lot of rock music.
They had all the rock t-shirts.
So I dressed pretty much how I dressed now.
Sure.
Like just baseball.
I know what I'm looking at.
I can see you behind the counter on that topic.
What's up, dude?
So on topic, it's all like this.
You guys get your ears pierced?
Yeah.
It's all the gauges, the goths.
You got pants that have chains on them and dyed hair.
And they just looked at a little white dwarf
from Orange County and was like, oh, dwarf.
Yeah, that's weird enough.
You can go out here.
I'll fit in.
Yeah, you can work here.
It's fine.
So I worked with Hot Topic.
And then right after that, I worked at Disneyland.
And Disneyland?
Doing what?
I was a bodyguard for the characters. So I walk around with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, doing what? I was a bodyguard for the characters.
So I walk around with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, you know?
Uh-huh.
You know, make sure they're all right.
Every now and then a five-year-old steps out of line,
you gotta be like, what's up, bitch?
Hey, don't wanna, yeah, don't wanna stone cold stun her.
I talked you for a minute!
It tased kids at Disneyland.
Fuck off!
Whoa, hot topic in Disneyland.
That child is seven years old!
Fuck off!
Man, we took a left turn from a defense lawyer.
Yeah.
Holy, yeah.
Orange County, my ass.
Yeah.
Well, you know, you don't give me the corner office to start.
You've got to work your way up.
But here's the thing, I've never really had a real job.
Like, I had, you know, hot topic, which was fun.
You get to sell gauges to depressed kids.
And then working at Disneyland, that was fun. You get to sell gauges to depressed kids and then working at Disneyland. That's fun
Hell when I would go to Disneyland living in Orange County as a dwarf everyone just assumes I work there anyway
I'll be getting paid for that
That's a great great job to have when you're in high school because you get to go to the park for free
You're hanging out your high school. You were doing yeah, and then well because I started staying up at 19
Sure, so those those are my were doing this. Yeah. And then, well, I started stand-up at 19. Sure.
So those are my three jobs.
The jobs ever, yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
So it was a hot topic, Disneyland,
and then stand-up comic.
Very briefly, had a morning radio show in San Francisco.
This was like eight years ago.
What was the name of it?
The Kevin Klein morning show.
I did not make the show.
You weren't in top billing. You weren't a partner at the show. I did not make the show. You were in top billing.
You were a partner at the show.
I didn't make the header.

As a teenager, yes.
As a teenager and as a young adult.
It worked on Hot Topic.

I can give you a discount on a motorhead shirt.
Yeah, I did, alright.
And in terms of the world of little people,
I'm pretty fucking good looking.
Okay, this is pretty handsome right here.
This is pretty swan.
Hands on, right?
Even before the beard.
So yeah, so every summer I go to these little people
conventions, which is over 1,000 wars.
We get going into one hotel in a random city
across the great land of ours.
And so our family trip every year would be to that city.
So if it was in San Antonio,
well then the Williams's are going to San Antonio
and we're gonna go have a good time
and see whatever there is to see in that city.
How long was the convention?
For a week.
For a week?
Yeah, yeah, so we go for about a week
and they try to design these conventions like,
all right, it's for togetherness
and you get to talk to people
and there's a clothing exchange,
there's doctors, there's sporting events, which by the way are funny as fuck
Dwarf sporting events, you know, you you have eight dwarfs running track hilarious. Yeah
Did you do any of the events all of them? I was cleaning up. I think I got all that. I was athletic
I was like, oh my god. Now I go play basketball. They're like Williams your center. What yeah
No one else had a rebound by the way
Just hold our hands out like this to catch a rebound calm the skyscraper
I hear Williams is coming in here. We don't stand a chance. I was clanging and banging down the holes
You know I was backing guys in
But yeah, so it's they try to dress it up with all these events.
But really, the whole convention's for banging.
It's for going there and seeing a potential partner
and be like, the whole year you're friend zoned,
and then you go to the dwarf convention and you're hot.
So yeah, people would have quite a week.

War is still going on, sir.
Still going on.
It ain't over till it's over.
It's called the Culture War.
I'm glad Nick Saban's out because he's from the north. He's a damn Yankee
We don't by way. I was also in that musical
Nick Saban's got a musical
The Nick Saban story you haven't seen Roll Time
I mean give me 50 pages. I would go see it
All right, that that that Miami Dolphin second act.
How old were you when you got your passport?
Oh that's funny. 13. Because I had to go on a theater tour of England and Scotland.
That's fun.
Yeah I got to go over there. I was in a deer troop. Fullerton Children's Repertory Theatre.
Not bad. Pretty classy.
Went over there and did some shows for the locals. Which by the way, you ever look back
on shit when you were a kid? What adult is in England and Scotland going, oh, well the
kids from America are coming to do a musical.
Yeah, I don't know.
That's crazy.
Let's go see that.
Yeah, how loose is your schedule
that's your entertainment?
There's no movie theater, no nothing?
Nothing?
I mean, it's Scotland.
I mean, it's a little ways away from where we were,
but you guys got the Edinburgh Festival.
Sure.
You've been going on for years.
Go see those performances.
But now you're like, when's the children's theater? That's when's that happening? When are they bringing the children?
Yeah. And then on top of that, we stayed with a few families while we were over there. So
just the- I never got that. That's always so weird. Do you feel like exchange students?
Yeah. So not me and my family or me and an adult supervisor. Just me.
Wait, would they have kids
that were in the thing in the theater troop? They would always have kids that were about
the same age but they weren't in the theater troop. So it'd be me and one other kid from
the theater troop and we would go and we'd stay with the family which now that I look
back on it's like. That's a fucking red flag. Yeah. That's
crazy. Nothing ever happened to me but I don't know
if something did happen I wouldn't be shocked. Yeah that's wild. Nothing ever happened to me, but I don't know if something did happen, I wouldn't be shocked.
Yeah, that's wild.
Maybe it's a repressed memory that I can trigger
by looking at something.
But yeah, for the most part, it was OK.
Kiko, near fishing chips.
Start screaming.
OK, man, every year during the World Cup, I hear the screams.
Shoes off in the house growing up?
No, shoes on in the house, which is funny,
because now my wife is Chinese, and definitely shoes off
in the house.
Shoes off in the house.
Yeah, shoes off in the house now.
But yeah, shoes on in the house.
Were you allowed to eat in your room?
Could you have snacks in your room?
No.
No eating in the room.
How were the snacks at the house?
Were there chips and pretzels?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There was stuff like that. If it could be bought and it was pre-made, it was there.
Yeah. Sugar cereal, Pop Tarts, that kind of stuff.
Oh, yeah. It was okay. Yeah, sugar cereals, the golden grams.
That was my favorite. Okay.
I still love golden greens. What about with dinner? What were you allowed
to have? Water, milk, soda, juice. Mostly milk and water.
Okay. Nothing too crazy. That's pretty good. Yeah. Nice glass of milk to go with a bowl
of chip eat on a hot summer day with no air conditioning. People wonder why I have an
iron stomach. That's why. That's all she cooked. She didn't. What would she make for dinner?
Give me a typical Mrs. Williams dinner. Typical dinner would be like a chicken breast, some steamed broccoli, which, okay, from the
south, so you want to know what we put on our broccoli?
Syrup or something like that.
I'm called mayonnaise.
What?
Like on top?
What?
On the side, and then you dip the broccoli in there.
Steamed broccoli and mayonnaise?
Steamed broccoli and mayonnaise.
God damn.
That's so crazy.

One of your listeners, please write me
Manage your sister it's probably it that would that would be just about it. What was the preferred fruit snack in the house?
Literally fruit snacks.
Like fruit?
No.
Oh, fruit snacks.
Isn't it Welch's fruit snack?
Oh, we wish we had Welch's.
No, we were more Gushers.
Yeah, we were a Gusher family.
I never met a kid that grew up with regular Gushers.
No?
That's a treat, everyone.
OK.
They weren't there.
They didn't do it for me.
Oh, I love them.
There was not enough of them.
That's candy.
That's what you did.
That's candy.
That's not like a.
A nice shot of high fructose corn syrup
to the back of your mouth.
They were great.
Who doesn't love a Gussher?
What was the first of all, frozen pizza growing up and or now oh no
Frozen but then we also you would go to the old-school
Pizza huts that are now kind of making a nostalgic calm. You're a Pizza Hut fam
Yeah, Pizza. Gentlemen. All right. What was the frozen pizza the preferred pizza at the house?
Boba Lee Boba Lee? Boba Lee, yes!
That's the one you kind of made yourself a little bit.
Yeah, man, that's rich kid shit.
Boba Lee's a frozen pizza.
I don't think it was frozen. I think it was sealed.
It was like packaged. It wasn't frozen.
Yes. Yeah.
And it would be hanging on the end of the aisle, and it would come with this little sauce packet.
So your mom cooked a little bit.
She could put the pizza in here.
They do both. You know, originally I think in the 90s was fucking just the dry
dough. Isn't that weird. I never thought about that till just now but like what a question.
What was your frozen pizza? Short. Welcome to the show. Very important. Everyone had
a brand. Yeah. I didn't realize like oh we've never gotten boba before. Never had. Really?
Start calling you sir. My stepdad would buy it maybe once a year
when he was fewer and for all like,
I guess like the tax return came in or something.
He's gotta impress you.
Yeah.
Stepdad.
Really throwing down.
Trying to get you to call him dad and not Mark. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha dad. Can I have another slice, Daddy?
Thank you, papa.
What was the first concert you went to?
First concert I ever went to was, uh, all right.
So this is a, so I was in a band for a second.
Name of that band.
Here we go.
The name of the band I was in.
The paint's coming off this house.
Slowly.
I was a hype man in the band.
So I didn't play an instrument.
I didn't sing.
I would run around the stage and scream random lyrics.
Try to get the four people in the crowd going.
No musical talent.
But the band thought, I have dwarf running around
screaming random lyrics.
That's pretty funny.
Fork did hot topic.
You were in the industry.
Yeah.
Got him from Disney.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So the name of our band was Up Syndrome.
Oh, Jesus.
Not Down Syndrome.
Sure.
We're not assholes.
Holy shit.
Up Syndrome.
OK.
Our big hit that we would close every show with
was The Safe Sex Song.
And then I would come out and do a little rap at some point.
The White Guy of St. Lawrence County.
That's a rap haven.
Yeah.
Where were you doing these shows?
The forum?
Where would you guys usually go?
There's a punk rock club on the corner
of Harvard Boulevard in Lincoln called Chain Reaction.
And that's where all the punk bands came from.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's like all those bands, like, so it's like Newfound
Glory, Simple Plan, Yellow Card.
All came out of there?
Not like they all played there.
All passed the round.
They all told us we stunk.
Yeah.
Was there any?
Goldfinger, like, it was so crazy,
because I just saw Yellow Card literally like two nights ago.
And then my band, Up Syndrome, did a show with them
in Pomona at a venue called the Glass House.
So now it's like, wow, you guys did way better than we did.
And they have a fiddle.
It's cool to see you guys are still together.
They have a fiddle player.
And they killed it.
So yeah, that's like my feel good Pandora Spotify station.
You throw on like newfound glory.
All the punk bands that sound like they were holding their nose.
All that pop punk from the.
That's right.
I love you.
Like all those bands.
I love those bands.
But they were, you guys were all coming up kind of at the same time.
Yeah.
You were playing.
That's pretty cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I was like, like well I have no musical talent
So let me try comedy threw me out of the bank
I think I think you could find one of our music videos online. It was called it was for a song called the Jackson five
I can hear people googling that now. Toby is the Jackson five were wrong. I think I think that's available
But back to the question. What was the first concert? First concert.
So I went to a bunch of little punk shows like that.
That's why I told that story.
So there was a bunch of little punk shows like that.
I think like the Ataris was a good show.
But then my first big concert was Pennywise.
And that was at the Long Beach Arena.
And I went to the Mosh pit. I came out missing my Nokia
phone. My sidekick came out missing a shoe and came out missing my car keys and my dad
had to come and drive to the arena and bring the spare key so he could drive home.
Man.
That's so yeah.
Where are your shoes?
Yeah.
One shoe.
So the Pennywise Mosh pit.
That was a time.
Brohem tribute.
Ah, that's good.
That's good.
That's not bad.
Posters on the wall would reflect
the same musical taste, I would assume.
Dude, I met this guy that was on my wall
my entire childhood.
It was so crazy.
So last week I
Went I went to a Laker game shout shout out to Jay Moore for
Getting me the tickets and I'm sitting there and the guy that sits in the row in front of us the flopper himself Vlad a diva
Bloody shout out to the king. I had a poster of Vlad A And you can probably even look up the poster because the poster goes viral every now and then.
Because in the poster, there's just a random arm coming out
of Vlad.
And you don't know whose arm it is.
I don't think I know it.
You can't see the body.
You can't see.
So it's just a random arm.
And yeah, I had a poster of Vlad on my wall.
He was like 44 playing in the league.
Yeah.
I think he was old.
Chains smoking on the bench. He was old school. He said he was like 44 playing in the league. He was chain smoking on the bench.
He was old school.
He said he was 21.
I played with Magic Johnson.
I did it.
Where was he from?
Serbia.
Serbia.
Yugoslavia, something with an Avi idea.
Man, I didn't think about that.
Jay Morris must be getting hit up for tickets all the time.

Crazy.
Shout out to Jay Morris. Shout out to him. Yeah, so J. Moore now married to the owner of the like crazy crazy bus. Shout out to J. Moore. Yeah, shout out to him.
Yeah, so yeah, I ran into Jeannie Bus at a total wine about a month ago. And so I'm going
there doing some shopping and then she's there, she has a tequila and she's doing like an
appearance. I just, I'm like, ah, it's J. Bus. And she just looked at me and she's doing like an appearance. I just, I'm like, ah, it's Genie Bus.
And she just looked at me and she goes,

And he goes, and she looks at me and she goes,
yeah, I follow you on Instagram.
I go, I figured whoever runs your account follows me.
I didn't know that you, and she goes, that's pretty sweet.
So yeah, this guy's doing all right.
Yeah, that doesn't suck.
Talking Genie Bus is saying, hey, that's yeah all right lady let's let's switch it up to now

the foundation but who don't have that chippy fun toast you call it you call it

Who are these people?
I don't know.
Depends how big, I guess everybody's a fan.
It's to, how often are you having them?
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Like weekly?
Okay, so I'll say this because my mom wasn't a great cook.
There was a restaurant that we would go to
like two, sometimes even three times in a week.
No kidding.
It was a sushi restaurant.
So I was like raised on sushi.
No.
So I'm throwing a little garbage there.
So yeah.
That's what he means.
That's classy.
It's dressy to go out to dinner that much.
I get what you're saying, but sushi.
Yeah.
I mean.
And very nice. Yeah. I mean.
And very nice.
So like, yeah, it was good.
It was a lot of fun.
And now that sushi got trendy, now it's like some people are just learning about it.
Amateurs.
Yeah, I was having it in the crib.
Exactly.
Been doing sake shots since I was four.
You know what sake bomb is, Brad?
Oh. So you can use chopsticks, I assume.. You know what sake bomb is, Brad?

Fuck yeah.
How early could you use chopsticks?
Pretty early.

Yeah, like before the age of 10, for sure.
Wow.
Jesus.
Yeah.
I don't think I saw him before the age of 10.
Yeah.
Well, now, and now, because my wife is Chinese,
I'm getting like, now I'm getting my knowledge
about Chinese food, which is really great.
And like the good Chinese food
Sure, I don't think I've ever had it. No, but now now I'm learning about like there's I'm gonna pronounce this wrong
So I apologize
But my favorite but my favorite thing is I believe is called a Shaolin bow and that's a dumpling that's filled with hot soup
Soup dumpling. Yeah, Shaolin bow. Yeah, yeah soup. Yeah, you gotta get that. If you don't know about those,
gotta get some soup dumplings.
What am I, an asshole? You don't know soup dumplings?
I don't like this coming in. Tell me I don't know soup dumplings.
Yeah. Crazy.
Man, I've done 400 episodes. He just got personally offended by you going.
He's like...
They're gonna know soup dumplings.
Like a piece of shit.
I didn't know the proper terminology for it, but I know what soup dumpling plays. I called a number three in here fucking. Like a piece of shit. I didn't know the proper terminology for it,
but I know what soup tumbling plays.
I called a number three in my neighborhood.
Comes with fried rice.
OK.
Yeah.
All right.
Man, eclectic gentleman over here.
Very eclectic.
Let's say you go out to dinner now,
and it's someone's birthday.
Will you tell the waiter it's their birthday,
so they sing happy birthday, or no?
Dude, I'll do that if it's not your birthday.
I'm that guy.
But to embarrass you not to get a free dessert.
Gotcha.
Because I think there's an important distinction.
Yes, if you're doing it for the free cupcake, it's a tough look.
You're an asshole.
But if you're doing it because your friend hates when they come out and sing to them,
now you're fun.
And if you go out to dinner with the squad now, like you and somebody else, will you
guys split the check or will one of you pick it up. So the deal is is I think
either I'm paying or you just throw down credit cards and you say split it. You do
not go itemized. Of course. Never do that. You don't go down there and be like well
your glass of wine was two dollars more expensive than my mixed beer.
So no, throw down the cards.
Like gentlemen, split it up.
OK.
Five, down the middle.
And what's the house looking like these days?
You guys are in a single family home?
Yeah, single family home out in Southern California.

They come standard issue, which we never got rid of.
Money can't buy everything.
No.
Because we got rid of it one time,
and then it just came back.
So we're like, well, it's part of the diving board.
So there was always like this.
Always.
So you always swam on the shallow end, and then every now
and then you go to the deep end, but you'd warn them, hey,
wass nest, just so you know.
Oh, man.
Yeah, so.
I'd turn it with a tension.
So you had to really be dedicated if you're like,
I'm going to jump off the diving board.
You're like, OK.

when I get upgraded okay I don't buy first-class tickets but thankfully I get upgraded a lot
I fly a lot so you're flying American American American American Dallas you and Foley have
very different flying experiences. That's
very true though because I don't like when I don't get upgraded I don't mind it. Yeah
normal. Yeah coach seat. I'm fine. I throw a fit in the airport. I bet you do. God damn
veteran for Christ sake. He starts yelling bomb in the terminal real quick. Clear him
out. Now. All right. Now. I don't know if this is a garbage thing.
I did this one time.
They said they did that thing where it's like anyone
requiring a little assistance to get on the plane.
I've been debating starting to do that.
Or a little extra time.
And this dude stood up fine.
Yeah, I've seen that.
But you can't ask. What the fuck's wrong with you? They can't say anything. They need a bouncer you but you can't ask what the fuck's
wrong with it can't say anything they need a bouncer line can't ask yeah I've
asked what'd you say one time I was like I just looked at the guy and I was like
come on man they said disabilities and this is real this this is now in my act
because it's a true it's a true story.
The guy kind of looks at me and insulted and he shows me his hand.
His hand is missing half of a finger.
Hey, I wanted to tell you.
He's a god damn hero.
Thank you for your service, asshole.
Damn.
Half of a finger.
I've been starting to thinking about doing
that a little bit. You just want to get your burger quarter.
I'm just getting it in there. Yeah get situated and settle. They can't say shit.
They can't. They're not allowed to say anything. Not allowed to ask.
So yeah when they say disabled boarding and yeah some people get up and I'm because I
don't board with disabled because I'm I have pride okay
because I don't like to view myself with disabled unless I'm parking respect that
yeah I got the handicapped parking platter you do yeah I'll use the fuck
it gets working the system oh my god he's gonna get into night clubs
excuse me excuse me well that and like get into the nightclub, Sam. Yeah! Excuse me, excuse me. Oh, well that, and like I said,
the parking situation in LA, very similar to New York,
where it's just like, it's crazy.
So with the handicap parking placard,
your things that people don't know,
you can park at a meter, don't have to pay.
No shit.
No shit.
Look at you.
You can park at a one hour parking,
take as much time as you want.
No kidding.
Handicap parking, that's the way of the future.
Dangles.

Shoes off on the plane?

Fuck off.
I agree with that.
I wanted to say something so bad.
I've always said the throwback is the
egregiousness of it.
You should do like a little
easy to give a look back.
