That's the right reaction Do you think that that would be a dumb idea or do you think that that would actually help out? Thanks mark?

You should just what it was it? Oh Charles Xavier's his last name is Xavier your first name is your last name Charles. Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:36 Now remember your joke about what exhibits real name is Xavier's a bit One of my favorite jokes we I thought you came up with that I did I just wanted to give you some credit. All right I Know I thought you came up with it. All right next question from Xavier. Hey guys I'm a freshman at the University of Illinois, but it was but it was not easy to get here My mom really wanted me to stay at home and commute to a local college After a full year of begging she finally let me go the problem is that I really hate it here
Starting point is 00:27:12 Don't get me wrong. There are plenty of babes, which is the real reason to go to college. Am I right? The problem is school is too hard. I hate everyone in my dorm when we suck at the sports plus my room It is a total lightweight and pukes every night So please Please please help should I go back home with my tail between my legs and admit? I was wrong or stay in champagne Urbana. That's the way the University of Illinois is love Xavier Well Xavier I Think what you really need to do there's a third option
Starting point is 00:27:43 You could go back home and your mom would be like I told you and you'd never take another chance for the rest of your life Or you're already far away now. Just go to any other school and be like it's like I'm still at the University of Illinois with my weird lightweight roommate There you go, but I feel like he won't like any school with this attitude. Well. Yeah, he's possible the other there's a million options for Little Xavier here He's he has a really bad attitude He hates school because they're bad at sports. Yeah, and because he hates his classes. Yeah, well, he sucks at his classes Oh, sorry, you hate school because you suck
Starting point is 00:28:20 Wait you suck at your classes the school is too hard He said he's pretty smart. Well, this guy isn't the real Xavier. Oh, yeah, that's just the name. We chose Oh, he's emanating a discomfort that I Know what you need your attitude dick Okay, okay, I wonder your annual answer was so genuine. Yeah, it was very yeah because he's right there He's like close enough to punch you in the face if you said what you wanted to yeah Now that I know he's not here fucking grow up piece of shit
Starting point is 00:28:54 That's Xavier Keep strong, you know, I mean like it's always hard the first year. I didn't like my college the first year That's not really a savior. You're a real Tough it up. Oh, that's me. Yeah, well What do you think you haven't answered a goddamn question yet, I'm sort of a reader in that regard It's if you hate everyone in your dorm, you're the problem. Yeah, you're that weird guy There's never like you're with 90 other people and they're all assholes. It doesn't everyone suck No, man, everyone gets along
Starting point is 00:29:31 Except for you Xavier. It's this email another couple self-help emails manifesto That's what we're dealing with like you know bomber style. Yeah, the next thing he writes will be to the government He'll still email us if I were you show at gmail.com, but it'll be addressed to the government In the two subject Please forward to the government at government dot gov. I don't want to help this guy because he's sort of an asshole Yeah, I want to tell him to go home with his tail between his legs because he failed go live with your mom forever So that's what he deserved. I think it's easy to hate college though. Maybe just he's That's one of the big misconceptions people like it's the greatest time of your life. It's not that great
Starting point is 00:30:15 It's better once you're out. You got it. Like I was I went to college didn't like it Drop well, I dropped out, but also they wouldn't they didn't want me back. So it's sort of like a mutual relationship Yeah, it was like, um, I don't want to go to you anymore and they're like what you can't and I was like good And they're like, no, no, not good Mandatory like whatever not whatever. Please leave fine shut up We won't shut up.

Um, I Am not sure I think I kind of just go to an opera company and audition and then just go from roll to roll It's a it's a very like Unstable career you kind of don't know where it's coming, but people have told me that I can do it Well, it's lovely, but it's an unstable career. It's it's a niche market And it's a language no one understood Oh Jesus Christ, even though they were joking most of the country is uncultured boobs that'll be like what?
Starting point is 00:37:32 And everybody has a brain so go with the neuroscience No, and then while you're operating or whatever the fuck sing some of that shit. It'll give them something to live for There you go So I'm making things better for people No, I hate that advice You really how many people told you not to do stand-up how many people told you that was not a viable career option Yeah, there aren't too many TV networks dedicated to opera Well, you know there are well there are theaters dedicated to opera
Starting point is 00:38:04 Yeah, you've been you've been to one. I know they exist. I Don't know. I mean look no, he's he does make a valid point I should tell you to go for your artistic dream, but I am saying you should do both I mean you don't have to do opera for a living now You're making me feel like I should tell it to drop out of school drop out of school How do you say that in Latin? Is it latin or is it Italian? That was Italian. It was it had latin
Starting point is 00:38:33 You uncultured big And Latin nuance to it like the English language. Yeah, I don't know guy You'd have to you know what I would say find somebody that does opera for a living and ask them You know what I mean? Well, yeah, can you just like go on this path? Like sort of you can take classes like neuroscience classes keep on practicing singing and then this sounds like Can you delay this decision any longer than you already have? What can you delay making this decision any longer than you already have? Well, I have to apply to the graduate schools for neuroscience now right now. Yeah today
Starting point is 00:39:12 I'm in the middle of it. Don't worry. Oh fuck but then like If I don't have an actual opera career, then people won't want to hire me because I haven't been singing Why don't you just apply to graduate school and then see if you get in and if you do then you could go and if you Don't then you become an opera singer the classic If I'm not a doctor, I'll just go into the opera Tom Marotti 1963 Yeah, just find a fat Italian eating a sandwich with 18 different meats in it and be like, how did you do it?
Starting point is 00:39:47 Oh Thank you, there's gonna be a lot of opera on the show, so I hope we helped you out and we probably didn't But if nothing else you sang so lovely and everybody cheered real hard harder than I think there's an opera scout here Thank you so much. Thank you very much Her dilemma kind of sounds like the plot of an opera That story. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. Like a modern opera. You should write your own opera Or like this like patient is brain dead and then like she starts singing sounds back to life The electricity like starts like getting into her
Starting point is 00:40:38 Passageways like keep singing keep singing. No, it's working. That would be the first time opera woke someone up Oh Do you tip 20% on that service Jesus, I love opera it's lovely Opera I love the hitman level where you go behind the opera What fuck you I thought I thought these were my people DJ loves it. Yeah, DJ's into it. Thanks, buddy. Don't let my glasses fool you. I know nothing about video games. Yeah I meant to fantasy football Are you fancy football? Yeah, I fancy football

It's not really about like plugging a movie It's about like friends joking around. Yeah, I hate plugs I fucking hate when like people just like start plugging their shit. It's not about that. This is a fucking free-flowing conversation We don't have to talk about shit
Starting point is 00:42:56 Midnight when is it on when is it on when is it on TBS on TBS at midnight? That is so funny. I'm being honest That was like her opera singing of comedy that was like virtuoso I didn't even realize I was plugging while I was talking about how I don't like plugging But yeah, that's basically the show and the monologue isn't really gonna be like pulled from the headline setup punch That we're kind of used to it's gonna be more in line like my stand-up So I hope people like it Pete Holmes calm for more info. Yeah Thank you You say this is your dream job. Did I would you have I can you?
Starting point is 00:43:43 35 minutes later Of course, it's a dream job It's I've always wanted to have a show and just a home for all the different things that I do and this is this is a perfect fit And you know, I used to kind of keep it to myself because it was so preposterous of a dream to say I want to have a late-night show, but there are people professors of mine in college that called me and we're like This is the thing we talked about in college and here it is happening. So it is really surreal and Wonderful, I'm very grateful. It's the logo you're handwriting. It is my handwriting. Yeah, that's that's the kind of budget. We're working with We need a logo. There you go. Now take a photo of me fucking the sky
Starting point is 00:44:26 And we got That was your pitch that was my elevator pitch I'll write my name and I have sex with a And they did it I sir sir put down the gun We will put you on after Conan All right, let's get to two more questions from the audience. Hell. Yeah, let's do it Michael F talking about staples Are you up in here Michael F? Come on stage
Starting point is 00:44:58 Oh Michael F doing what he do Do you want me to read this one or do you want to read it? I'll have you read it. There you go. Good call great call Leave move your lips so it sounds like you're doing it. Yeah lips. Thank you So I currently work at a staples as a computer technician and just recently the position for lead tech Supervisor just opened up now my best friend of maybe ten years lives, breathes and maybe even eats staples That's how obsessed he is he has been working the hardest He's ever worked for something trying to get the promotion and the other day
Starting point is 00:45:34 My manager comes up to me and offers me the job and I can give to Excuse my language motherfucking shits about that place. I don't even try Should I scumbag him over? Consider I actually need the money to put myself through school or should I give it up and give it to my friend? Wow, that's a good one noble noble. You're even thinking about it. You're even considering yet Even if he doesn't do it, it's noble for you to even ask us about it. Is your friend is your friend here right now? Damn it. This would have been really easy. I I'm gonna say before we get to the advice
Starting point is 00:46:11 I think it's probably a bad idea to cross a man who gives a fuck about staples This man will destroy you and categorize your remains in a very clean and easy to find way With food and snacks by the register. I I just You don't you don't want to cross him. Yeah, he's gonna hide your body and say that was easy I was waiting for mine I was sitting on that You just why did your why did the manager choose you? Is your guy like so obsessed that he's annoying? He's like, I don't want to promote this asshole. He gives two is it like a joint shrew kind of situation
Starting point is 00:46:50 I wouldn't say so. He's he's a good tech, but I guess I'm better Okay, well here's the reality you need the money. It's not your decision and they came to you, right? If you pass up the promotion today automatically choose him that you I would say so I would say they would give him But you don't know that you could ask you would you know, buddy? Will you give it to the lunatic who keeps reorganizing the post-its just eating staples? Yeah I Can yeah I'm just thinking lion king style
Starting point is 00:47:24 Do it take the money take the money does anyone think he shouldn't take the money? Your friendship's more valuable No, you're saying he should take the money Okay, so the one person that raised their hand thought like miss her the question, right? Yeah Who thinks he should give it to his friend? 10 years Not long enough not a lot of hands It's like a real friend would get over it says professor Xavier Charles. I think he knows everything. That was beautiful
Starting point is 00:48:05 Be honest. How much do you like them? I? Mean no homo, but a lot no I think you're homo that's maybe a desert island alone for six months no rescue coming you're gonna You're gonna sneak it in there just for warmth Day two It's a tropical island. I'm not very cold, but this is Disney Lake. Oh, okay I You know what I would say because you don't give a fucking it and because it does seem like something you could do somewhere else
Starting point is 00:48:43 Maybe you do give it to your friend and just get another job. Okay, I agree I Say it's not your decision to take the job or not That's the manager's obligation. He gave it to you to say no would be slapping you're a superior in the face You would be a bad employee not to take the promotion So take it. Don't break it. It took your mother nine months to make it I'm with Amir take it You know what? I don't think you guys are doing what which is what I did to consider my answer
Starting point is 00:49:20 I'm picturing my best friend at my job. Oh, I did not do that I'm being real like as far as when I was looking at it. It's just like faceless gray computer people I was like, yeah, fuck him. I need the money and they offered it to me But when I picture like my sweet wonderful best friend, I you got it You got to see what I'm doing here is I'm making him my best friend Oh, and I want him to I want him to have a good job I want him to make the money and I would tell you the same thing make new friends But keep the old one a silver the other school
Starting point is 00:49:48 Holy shit, did you just make that up? No fucking right But at the same time if you take it, that's fine. Just use your money to buy a new friend Like an iPad How much of a pay rise are we looking at like double of what I make like double money Money is so good, dude. Are you shitting me? Yeah, do you realize you can't buy shit with friendship right money? You like like you can't go to a store money dude. You can't get like an iPhone 5s Yeah, here's money the other thing though you take it You don't give a fuck about the company and they want you to be like your friend and you're not so now you're you got more money
