00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,515
[Jim] Thank you! Thank you!
5
00:00:15,598 --> 00:00:18,476
Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much.
6
00:00:19,185 --> 00:00:22,272
Thank you. Thank you.
7
00:00:22,355 --> 00:00:26,651
Aw, thank you so much. Thank you.
8
00:00:26,735 --> 00:00:29,195
Aw… That's so nice.
9
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:32,824
That almost makes me forget
we're all gonna be dead in a week.
10
00:00:32,907 --> 00:00:34,701
[laughter]
11
00:00:34,784 --> 00:00:37,537
I'm kidding. It'll probably be a month.
12
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:38,663
[laughter]
13
00:00:38,747 --> 00:00:41,374
Remember when we thought
the pandemic was over?
14
00:00:41,458 --> 00:00:42,584
[laughter]
15
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:43,710
Everyone was so happy.
16
00:00:43,793 --> 00:00:46,087
[screams] "We did it!"
17
00:00:46,171 --> 00:00:47,172
[laughter]
18
00:00:47,255 --> 00:00:50,050
We probably looked so stupid. [chuckles]
19
00:00:50,842 --> 00:00:52,969
Everyone was patting themselves
on the back.
20
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,138
"You know, I'm just glad
I could help out the sick,
21
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:56,514
by staying inside."
22
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,308
[laughter]
23
00:00:58,391 --> 00:01:01,561
"It's not over?
Well, I'm not going back in."
24
00:01:01,644 --> 00:01:03,063
[laughter]
25
00:01:03,146 --> 00:01:04,939
"Those sick people have to die."
26
00:01:05,023 --> 00:01:06,441
[laughter]
27
00:01:06,524 --> 00:01:08,318
'Cause it's not over.
28
00:01:08,401 --> 00:01:12,072
The pandemic is like a TV show
you thought was canceled,
29
00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:14,491
and then it got picked up by Netflix.
30
00:01:14,574 --> 00:01:15,825
[laughter and applause]
31
00:01:15,909 --> 00:01:16,993
Oh…
32
00:01:20,038 --> 00:01:21,122
[clears throat]
33
00:01:22,457 --> 00:01:25,460
I didn't really pace myself
for another season.
34
00:01:25,543 --> 00:01:26,753
[laughter]
35
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:31,174
I don't know about you, I wasn't planning
on seeing my family ever again.
36
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:32,550
[laughter]
37
00:01:32,634 --> 00:01:34,260
Parents know the feeling.
38
00:01:34,344 --> 00:01:37,430
It's like changing that diaper
in the middle of the night.
39
00:01:37,514 --> 00:01:40,683
You're exhausted. It's disgusting.
40
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:41,893
But you have to do it.
41
00:01:41,976 --> 00:01:45,396
So you change the diaper,
you finally get the sleeper back on,
42
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,650
and as you gently lay the baby
back in the crib,
43
00:01:48,733 --> 00:01:50,819
you hear the diaper fill up again.
44
00:01:50,902 --> 00:01:52,028
[laughter]
45
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:54,989
And that's what the year 2021 is.
46
00:01:55,073 --> 00:01:57,700
[laughter and applause]
47
00:01:57,784 --> 00:01:59,369
Over and over.
48
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:02,914
[cheering]
49
00:02:02,997 --> 00:02:06,292
It's just a diaper filling up
over and over. [chuckles]
50
00:02:06,376 --> 00:02:07,836
[laughter]
51
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:11,047
I kind of miss the early days
of the pandemic.
52
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:12,173
Those were fun.
53
00:02:12,257 --> 00:02:15,051
Back when we thought washing our hands
would protect us.
54
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:16,261
[laughter]
55
00:02:16,344 --> 00:02:18,680
"Everyone, wash your hands.
We'll be fine."
56
00:02:18,763 --> 00:02:20,390
"Okay."
57
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:22,642
[laughter]
58
00:02:22,725 --> 00:02:25,478
Remember before
there were readily available tests,
59
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:29,065
everyone had that friend that used to brag
"Yeah, I already had COVID."
60
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:31,359
-[laughter]
-"I had it back in '91."
61
00:02:31,442 --> 00:02:33,153
[laughter]
62
00:02:33,236 --> 00:02:35,989
"Yeah. Back then, it was called COVID-91."
63
00:02:36,072 --> 00:02:37,448
[laughter]
64
00:02:37,532 --> 00:02:40,535
"Had it a couple times.
Got rid of it by washing my hands."
65
00:02:41,911 --> 00:02:44,414
'Cause the symptoms were confusing.
66
00:02:44,497 --> 00:02:45,999
They're still confusing.
67
00:02:46,082 --> 00:02:47,625
It's like, "What are the symptoms?"
68
00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:48,793
"Everything."
69
00:02:48,877 --> 00:02:50,461
[audience laughing]
70
00:02:50,545 --> 00:02:53,006
[stammers] "What do you mean, everything?"
71
00:02:53,089 --> 00:02:55,383
"Asking a question is a symptom."
72
00:02:55,466 --> 00:02:57,719
[laughter]
73
00:02:57,802 --> 00:03:00,221
[grunts] "Well, that can't be true."
74
00:03:00,847 --> 00:03:03,099
"Denial is a major symptom."
75
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:06,519
[laughter and applause]
76
00:03:06,603 --> 00:03:09,689
Did you wipe down your groceries?
I did that.
77
00:03:09,772 --> 00:03:11,065
It felt so silly.
78
00:03:11,149 --> 00:03:14,485
You know, like, "I'm just a normal guy
cleaning a Triscuit box."
79
00:03:14,569 --> 00:03:20,325
[laughter and applause]
80
00:03:20,408 --> 00:03:23,036
"Is this what OCD feels like?"
81
00:03:23,119 --> 00:03:24,621
[laughter]
82
00:03:25,371 --> 00:03:28,124
Couple weeks later, you're like,
"Nah, they look clean to me."
83
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:29,375
[laughter]
84
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:30,919
"I cleaned 'em."
85
00:03:31,002 --> 00:03:32,295
[laughter]
86
00:03:32,378 --> 00:03:34,255
But you had to take the precautions.
87
00:03:34,339 --> 00:03:37,550
There was no uniformity.
Everyone talked a big game, right?
88
00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:38,927
"Oh, we're on lockdown."
89
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:40,553
"No work, no school, you know."
90
00:03:40,637 --> 00:03:41,971
"We got our bubble."
91
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:44,641
"Bubble's just my family
and these two people we see
92
00:03:44,724 --> 00:03:46,059
at a weekly sex party."
93
00:03:46,142 --> 00:03:48,478
[laughter]
94
00:03:48,561 --> 00:03:50,480
"I figured, better safe than sorry."
95
00:03:52,774 --> 00:03:54,776
'Cause we all went through
the same pandemic,
96
00:03:54,859 --> 00:03:57,612
but we didn't have
the same experience, right?
97
00:03:57,695 --> 00:03:58,738
There were factors.
98
00:03:58,821 --> 00:04:00,615
Like, if you were 25 and healthy,
99
00:04:00,698 --> 00:04:03,576
you're like, "Whatever.
I'm going on a COVID cruise."
100
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:05,078
[laughter]
101
00:04:05,161 --> 00:04:07,413
But if you were over the age of 25--
102
00:04:07,497 --> 00:04:09,290
and it may surprise you, but I am…
103
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:10,458
[laughter]
104
00:04:10,541 --> 00:04:13,127
…you watched the news more closely, right?
105
00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:16,130
The news guys would be like,
"High-risk people are older."
106
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:18,758
You're like, [stammers] "Well, how old?"
107
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:20,593
"Like old old,
108
00:04:20,677 --> 00:04:23,471
or didn't-have-a-cellphone-
in-high-school old?"
109
00:04:23,554 --> 00:04:25,807
-[laughter and applause]
-[grunts]
110
00:04:25,890 --> 00:04:26,933
Right?
111
00:04:27,016 --> 00:04:30,019
[applause]
112
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:33,898
'Cause nobody thinks of themselves as old.
113
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:34,816
[giggles]
114
00:04:34,899 --> 00:04:39,612
The reality of your age just occasionally
slaps you across the face.
115
00:04:39,696 --> 00:04:40,530
[chuckling]
116
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:43,700
I did this benefit for a hospital.
It was a fancy event.
117
00:04:43,783 --> 00:04:46,035
When I showed up,
the woman running the event was like,
118
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:49,497
"Oh, my gosh.
We went to the same college."
119
00:04:49,580 --> 00:04:50,790
She was younger, but we talked
120
00:04:50,873 --> 00:04:53,459
and we realized we hung out
at the same places.
121
00:04:53,543 --> 00:04:56,170
At the end of the event,
I was leaving and she ran up to me,
122
00:04:56,254 --> 00:04:59,132
she was like, "I need to know
what year you graduated college."
123
00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:01,009
I was like, "1988."
124
00:05:01,092 --> 00:05:03,928
And she was like, "Oh, my gosh.
That's the year I was born."
125
00:05:04,012 --> 00:05:05,680
[laughter]
126
00:05:05,763 --> 00:05:07,015
Slap!
127
00:05:08,266 --> 00:05:10,310
Right across the face. [chuckles]
128
00:05:10,935 --> 00:05:12,145
I didn't even know what to say.
129
00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:15,106
I was like,
"Ah, that's the year I was born too."
130
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:16,983
[laughter]
131
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:19,360
She looked at me like,
[nasal voice] "That's not funny."
132
00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:21,529
And then I got in my car
and stuffed food in my mouth
133
00:05:21,612 --> 00:05:23,197
until I stopped feeling anything.
134
00:05:23,281 --> 00:05:26,034
-[laughter]
-[grunting]
135
00:05:27,201 --> 00:05:29,871
Sometimes you had to decipher
the news. Right?
136
00:05:29,954 --> 00:05:31,080
The newscaster would be like,
137
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:34,792
[in a deep voice] "The vulnerable are
older and people with comorbidities."
138
00:05:34,876 --> 00:05:36,586
You're like, "Co what?"
139
00:05:37,253 --> 00:05:38,796
"Comorbidity."
140
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,674
Which eventually we figured out
was just code for,
141
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:43,843
"All the fat asses are gonna die."
142
00:05:43,926 --> 00:05:45,678
[laughter]
143
00:05:45,762 --> 00:05:48,181
But they couldn't say that on the news.
144
00:05:49,015 --> 00:05:50,641
They couldn't have Sanjay Gupta be like,
145
00:05:50,725 --> 00:05:53,770
"Well, Anderson,
all the fat asses are gonna die."
146
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:55,605
[laughter]
147
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:58,483
So they said comorbidities.
148
00:05:58,566 --> 00:06:00,902
And at home, we were like,
"Honey, what is a comorb--"
149
00:06:00,985 --> 00:06:02,403
"I don't know. Pass the gravy."
150
00:06:02,487 --> 00:06:05,073
[laughter]
151
00:06:05,156 --> 00:06:08,993
In time, we figured out
they were talking about fat people.
152
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:12,747
And if you were overweight,
you were like, [stammers] "How fat?"
153
00:06:12,830 --> 00:06:13,873
[laughter]
154
00:06:13,956 --> 00:06:17,835
Or like, "Are we talking Walmart fat
or Jim Gaffigan fat?"
155
00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:24,133
[cheering and applauding]
156
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:25,676
I got the message.
157
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,970
I dunno, I totally got the message.
I started working out.
158
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:29,680
I started eating healthy.
I was going good.
159
00:06:29,764 --> 00:06:32,600
Then one day I looked in the mirror
and I was like, "Ah, enough of that."
160
00:06:32,683 --> 00:06:33,768
[laughter]
161
00:06:33,851 --> 00:06:37,063
Turns out, life or death,
not the motivator you'd think it would be.
162
00:06:37,146 --> 00:06:38,606
[laughter]
163
00:06:38,689 --> 00:06:39,732
"You could live longer."
164
00:06:39,816 --> 00:06:41,109
"Not a good enough reason."
165
00:06:41,192 --> 00:06:42,360
[laughter]
166
00:06:42,443 --> 00:06:44,904
"Can you sweeten the deal,
maybe throw in a pizza?"
167
00:06:44,987 --> 00:06:46,155
[laughter]
168
00:06:46,239 --> 00:06:48,032
I tried. I tried.
169
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:49,867
My wife bought me a scale,
170
00:06:49,951 --> 00:06:51,869
so the romance is still alive.
171
00:06:51,953 --> 00:06:53,913
[laughter]
172
00:06:53,996 --> 00:06:56,874
I didn't ask for it.
She gave it to me as a gift.
173
00:06:56,958 --> 00:06:58,292
[laughter]
174
00:06:58,376 --> 00:07:00,002
I could never do something like that.
175
00:07:00,086 --> 00:07:03,548
"Happy birthday, honey.
I bought you a scale and some makeup."
176
00:07:03,631 --> 00:07:05,508
[laughter]
177
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:07,218
"Just lookin' out for you, sweetie."
178
00:07:07,301 --> 00:07:08,845
[giggles]
179
00:07:08,928 --> 00:07:10,304
It's a high-tech scale.
180
00:07:10,388 --> 00:07:13,808
Comes with an app so the government
can know how overweight I am.
181
00:07:13,891 --> 00:07:15,852
[laughter]
182
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:18,062
I don't know why there's an app.
183
00:07:18,146 --> 00:07:20,898
Maybe so I can be the victim
of Ransomware.
184
00:07:20,982 --> 00:07:22,316
[laughter]
185
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,069
[southern accent] "Pay up or we're
telling everyone how fat you are."
186
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:28,698
[shrill voice]
"But I don't have any crypto currency."
187
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:29,740
[laughter]
188
00:07:31,075 --> 00:07:33,327
[normal voice]
I set up the app, stood on the scale,
189
00:07:33,411 --> 00:07:36,497
my weight showed up on the phone,
150 pounds.
190
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:38,833
[laughter]
191
00:07:38,916 --> 00:07:40,793
All right, it was over 200.
192
00:07:41,752 --> 00:07:44,672
-All right, it was way over 200.
-[laughter]
193
00:07:44,755 --> 00:07:48,134
If it was an old-fashioned scale,
you wouldn't see the number 200.
194
00:07:48,217 --> 00:07:49,302
[laughter]
195
00:07:49,385 --> 00:07:51,804
But it was in the 200 family.
196
00:07:52,889 --> 00:07:55,099
And underneath my weight, on the phone,
197
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:58,060
there was this word
in small red lettering.
198
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:00,146
I didn't have my glasses on
so I asked my daughter.
199
00:08:00,229 --> 00:08:02,690
I was like, "What does that say?"
She was like, "Obese."
200
00:08:02,773 --> 00:08:04,108
[laughter]
201
00:08:04,192 --> 00:08:07,487
Slap! Right across the face. [chuckles]
202
00:08:08,404 --> 00:08:11,991
I just looked at my daughter,
I'm like, "Ah, I gotta update this app."
203
00:08:12,074 --> 00:08:13,659
[laughter]
204
00:08:13,743 --> 00:08:16,078
And then I ran to the kitchen
and stuffed food in my mouth
205
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:17,622
till I stopped feeling anything.
206
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:20,374
-[laughter and applause]
-[grunting]
207
00:08:24,504 --> 00:08:25,630
Still wearing masks.
208
00:08:25,713 --> 00:08:28,382
There was that time
when nobody had to wear a mask, right?
209
00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:29,509
That was a fun day.
210
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:31,886
[laughter]
211
00:08:31,969 --> 00:08:35,848
Remember the first time you went out
in public without a mask?
212
00:08:35,932 --> 00:08:37,225
It was weird, right?
213
00:08:37,308 --> 00:08:40,478
You felt naked.
You were like, "Oh, I'm so European."
214
00:08:40,561 --> 00:08:43,022
[laughter]
215
00:08:43,105 --> 00:08:45,066
"What is this, the French Riviera?"
216
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:49,028
I was kind of tempted to wear,
like, a thong mask.
217
00:08:49,111 --> 00:08:50,154
[laughter]
218
00:08:50,238 --> 00:08:53,199
You know, something tasteful yet naughty.
219
00:08:54,158 --> 00:08:56,869
"I can see his cheeks,
but there's still a mystery."
220
00:08:56,953 --> 00:08:58,162
[laughter]
221
00:08:58,246 --> 00:09:00,373
"Ooh-la-la."
222
00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:04,210
♪ Round and pale and mostly balding ♪
223
00:09:04,293 --> 00:09:07,505
♪ The boy from Indiana goes walking ♪
224
00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:11,634
♪ And as he does
All the people he pass go ♪
225
00:09:11,717 --> 00:09:12,760
♪ "Yuck!" ♪
226
00:09:12,843 --> 00:09:14,929
-[laughter]
-[chuckles]
227
00:09:15,763 --> 00:09:19,183
Initially, it was strange seeing
other people's faces without a mask.
228
00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:22,520
You wanted to go up to some people like,
"You should stick with the mask."
229
00:09:22,603 --> 00:09:23,521
[laughter]
230
00:09:23,604 --> 00:09:26,607
"It's a better look for you.
You in a mask is better for everyone."
231
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:28,025
[laughter]
232
00:09:28,109 --> 00:09:32,488
Did you meet anyone during the pandemic
where you only knew them with a mask?
233
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:34,991
And then when you finally
saw them barefaced,
234
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:36,617
you're like, "Yikes."
235
00:09:36,701 --> 00:09:37,994
[laughter]
236
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:39,370
You felt like you were catfished.
237
00:09:39,453 --> 00:09:42,206
You're like, "Wow, your face
doesn't match your voice at all."
238
00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:43,165
[laughter]
239
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:44,792
"And who stole your chin?"
240
00:09:44,875 --> 00:09:46,294
[laughter]
241
00:09:48,296 --> 00:09:50,923
Of course, the biggest reveal
of the pandemic
242
00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:53,926
was how many crazy people there are.
243
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:55,011
[laughter]
244
00:09:55,094 --> 00:09:56,679
That was a bit of a surprise.
245
00:09:56,762 --> 00:09:59,849
We all knew there were
some Unabombers out there, but,
246
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,767
nobody thought there were that many.
247
00:10:01,851 --> 00:10:03,060
[laughter]
248
00:10:03,144 --> 00:10:05,605
Or that we were related
to a couple of them.
249
00:10:05,688 --> 00:10:07,148
[laughter and applause]
250
00:10:07,231 --> 00:10:08,274
You know?
251
00:10:08,357 --> 00:10:12,403
[cheering and applauding]
252
00:10:14,572 --> 00:10:17,408
'Cause everyone had
that relative or friend
253
00:10:17,491 --> 00:10:19,619
that came out as bonkers.
254
00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:22,997
"I no longer believe in reality."
255
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,832
[laughter]
256
00:10:24,915 --> 00:10:26,125
"Good to know."
257
00:10:27,084 --> 00:10:30,171
It was like a gender reveal for insanity.
258
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:31,881
[laughter]
259
00:10:31,964 --> 00:10:34,508
"The truth is no longer true."
260
00:10:34,592 --> 00:10:35,926
"See you at Thanksgiving."
261
00:10:36,010 --> 00:10:37,595
[laughter]
262
00:10:37,678 --> 00:10:39,513
I feel like it happened for me more often
263
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:42,850
'cause I've always had friends
that are eccentric thinkers
264
00:10:42,933 --> 00:10:44,727
and they're normally really entertaining.
265
00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:48,981
They're like, [deep voice]
"Bigfoot's real, man. Bigfoot is real."
266
00:10:49,065 --> 00:10:52,234
But that same person, at one point
during the pandemic, was like,
267
00:10:52,318 --> 00:10:54,487
[deep voice] "Tom Hanks eats babies."
268
00:10:54,570 --> 00:10:56,697
[laughter]
269
00:10:57,948 --> 00:11:00,201
-"Don't say that."
-[audience laughing]
270
00:11:00,284 --> 00:11:01,994
[deep voice] "Tom Hanks does eat babies."
271
00:11:02,078 --> 00:11:04,914
"And if you don't believe that,
then you eat babies."
272
00:11:04,997 --> 00:11:06,457
[laughter]
273
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:07,583
[normal voice] "All right."
274
00:11:08,626 --> 00:11:10,294
"Tom Hanks eats babies."
275
00:11:10,378 --> 00:11:11,253
[laughter]
276
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:13,673
"He always seemed
like a baby-eater to me."
277
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:19,679
The thing I missed most
during the lockdown was restaurants.
278
00:11:19,762 --> 00:11:21,138
I know that's a surprise.
279
00:11:21,222 --> 00:11:22,181
[laughter]
280
00:11:22,264 --> 00:11:24,558
I didn't even realize
how much I missed restaurants
281
00:11:24,642 --> 00:11:26,644
'til the first time I went out to eat
282
00:11:26,727 --> 00:11:29,689
and I caught myself catcalling
other people's food.
283
00:11:29,772 --> 00:11:30,856
[laughter]
284
00:11:31,482 --> 00:11:33,234
"Oh, yeah."
285
00:11:33,317 --> 00:11:35,111
[laughter]
286
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:37,238
"What I would do to you."
287
00:11:37,321 --> 00:11:38,948
[laughter]
288
00:11:39,031 --> 00:11:40,950
"Get me a fork and knife."
289
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:42,576
[growling]
290
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:44,495
"Jim, you're in public."
"Oh, sorry."
291
00:11:44,578 --> 00:11:46,497
[laughter]
292
00:11:48,958 --> 00:11:50,710
This is gonna kind of sound pandering,
293
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:54,797
but I believe the pandemic
has been hardest on mothers.
294
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,883
-Definitely hardest on mothers. Right?
-[cheering and applauding]
295
00:11:57,967 --> 00:12:01,429
Or the men who had to live
with those mothers.
296
00:12:01,512 --> 00:12:03,472
[laughter]
297
00:12:03,556 --> 00:12:06,225
It was insane for--
I don't know how my wife did it.
298
00:12:06,308 --> 00:12:09,520
We had five children
doing distance-learning.
299
00:12:09,603 --> 00:12:10,646
And my kids were good.
300
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,898
They totally kept a distance
from learning.
301
00:12:12,982 --> 00:12:15,109
[laughter]
302
00:12:16,235 --> 00:12:18,738
We asked children to do school
303
00:12:18,821 --> 00:12:21,991
on the same device they play Minecraft.
304
00:12:22,074 --> 00:12:23,159
[laughter]
305
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:25,536
It's like holding
a Weight Watchers meeting
306
00:12:25,619 --> 00:12:27,121
in a Wendy's.
307
00:12:27,204 --> 00:12:29,331
[laughter]
308
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:31,292
I mean, it was insane.
309
00:12:31,375 --> 00:12:36,881
[cheering and applauding]
310
00:12:36,964 --> 00:12:39,550
I definitely gained an appreciation
311
00:12:39,633 --> 00:12:42,136
for how difficult it is to be a teacher.
312
00:12:42,219 --> 00:12:45,389
And what a poor career choice that was.
313
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:48,017
[cheering and applauding]
314
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:49,143
Right?
315
00:12:49,852 --> 00:12:53,731
I guess it was, uh, after the first case
of Scotch, I turned to my wife…
316
00:12:53,814 --> 00:12:55,566
[laughter]
317
00:12:55,649 --> 00:12:59,069
…and I said, "When this is over,
if there's even an opening,
318
00:12:59,153 --> 00:13:01,614
I'll take you wherever you wanna go.
Wherever you wanna go."
319
00:13:01,697 --> 00:13:03,824
My wife was like,
"I want to go to Hawaii."
320
00:13:03,908 --> 00:13:06,368
And I was like,
"I was thinking more Tri-State area."
321
00:13:06,452 --> 00:13:08,204
[laughter]
322
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:11,540
She was like, "I wanna go to Hawaii
and I wanna bring the kids."
323
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:13,459
And I was like, "Whose kids?"
324
00:13:13,542 --> 00:13:15,169
[laughter]
325
00:13:15,252 --> 00:13:17,087
She was like, "Our kids."
326
00:13:17,171 --> 00:13:19,715
I did the research,
saw that it was cheaper than a divorce,
327
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:21,050
so we went to Hawaii.
328
00:13:21,133 --> 00:13:22,343
[laughter]
329
00:13:22,426 --> 00:13:24,220
And… [scoffs]
330
00:13:24,303 --> 00:13:26,222
[cheering and applauding]
331
00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:30,601
Hawaii is such a special place.
It really is.
332
00:13:30,684 --> 00:13:32,645
It's like there's the "Aloha Spirit",
333
00:13:32,728 --> 00:13:35,606
where people greet each other
with "Aloha," but I'm so awkward,
334
00:13:35,689 --> 00:13:38,734
so they'll be like, "Aloha,"
and I'll be like, "Hello ha."
335
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:40,319
[laughter]
336
00:13:40,402 --> 00:13:42,363
Does that mean something? That means…
337
00:13:42,446 --> 00:13:45,157
Even when I would use
the Hawaiian terms properly,
338
00:13:45,241 --> 00:13:46,283
it would backfire.
339
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:48,828
Like if I said, "Mahalo,"
the natives would look at me like,
340
00:13:48,911 --> 00:13:51,539
-"You don't have to do that."
-[laughter]
341
00:13:51,622 --> 00:13:53,833
"Just nod your head
and we'll bring you pork."
342
00:13:53,916 --> 00:13:55,042
[laughter]
343
00:13:55,125 --> 00:13:56,710
'Cause I stuck out in Hawaii.
344
00:13:56,794 --> 00:13:58,504
I didn't even look like a tourist.
345
00:13:58,587 --> 00:14:00,256
I looked like someone they brought in
346
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:02,466
to make the tourists feel
more comfortable.
347
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,051
[laughter]
348
00:14:04,134 --> 00:14:07,054
"You're fine. You wanna see awkward,
look at Jim Gaffigan."
349
00:14:07,137 --> 00:14:09,306
[laughter]
350
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:12,434
Hawaii, it's incomparable
to any other state.
351
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:14,353
It's a tropical paradise.
352
00:14:14,436 --> 00:14:18,148
It's almost like Hawaii
was this Polynesian island nation
353
00:14:18,232 --> 00:14:19,650
that we just took over.
354
00:14:19,733 --> 00:14:21,235
-[laughter]
-You know what I mean?
355
00:14:21,318 --> 00:14:23,237
Like, it wasn't even part
of the United States.
356
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,197
We just went in like it was an open house.
357
00:14:25,281 --> 00:14:27,366
"Nice. Nice."
358
00:14:27,449 --> 00:14:28,367
[laughter]
359
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:30,870
"We could do our honeymoon here.
We'll take it."
360
00:14:30,953 --> 00:14:32,079
[laughter]
361
00:14:32,162 --> 00:14:34,039
The Hawaiians were like,
"We're our own country."
362
00:14:34,123 --> 00:14:36,917
"That's cute. I love your flower shirt.
Gotta get one of them."
363
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:38,669
[laughter]
364
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:41,797
And Hawaiians will tell you,
they'll come right up to you.
365
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:43,215
They'll be, "You stole this land."
366
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:46,802
And I'm like, "Don't know how to break it
to you, but we stole all the land."
367
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:48,679
[laughter, applause]
368
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:51,473
"Probably just stings a little more
'cause it's pretty here."
369
00:14:51,557 --> 00:14:53,851
[applause]
370
00:14:53,934 --> 00:14:56,645
"Believe me, there's people in Detroit
pissed at us."
371
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:58,230
[laughter]
372
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:01,317
My wife chose Hawaii
because my wife loves the beach.
373
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,444
And as you can see, so do I.
374
00:15:03,527 --> 00:15:05,195
[laughter]
375
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:09,575
I spent the entire time applying
and re-applying sunscreen
376
00:15:10,367 --> 00:15:13,078
which, thankfully, makes my skin whiter.
377
00:15:13,162 --> 00:15:15,164
[laughter]
378
00:15:15,247 --> 00:15:18,208
What cruel bastard decided
379
00:15:18,292 --> 00:15:22,046
that the goo that protects
pale people from the sun
380
00:15:22,129 --> 00:15:25,341
should also make them look
like White Walkers?
381
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:26,592
[laughter]
382
00:15:26,675 --> 00:15:28,677
It's… it's just cruel.
383
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:30,930
They should offer other colors.
384
00:15:31,013 --> 00:15:33,599
"Cool. There's one of the guys
from Blue Man Group."
385
00:15:33,682 --> 00:15:35,142
[laughter]
386
00:15:35,225 --> 00:15:38,812
I don't even know why sunscreen is white.
What was the thinking?
387
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:42,399
"Well, you know, those pale people
love ranch dressing, so…"
388
00:15:42,483 --> 00:15:43,484
[laughter]
389
00:15:43,567 --> 00:15:45,861
"…let's keep it in their wheelhouse."
390
00:15:47,571 --> 00:15:49,949
'Cause I don't tan. I don't kind of tan.
391
00:15:50,032 --> 00:15:52,034
There's no medium rare for me.
392
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:55,371
I either look
like I've never been outside,
393
00:15:55,454 --> 00:15:57,998
or I was just released from a burn unit.
394
00:15:58,082 --> 00:15:59,583
[laughter]
395
00:15:59,667 --> 00:16:01,251
There's no in-between.
396
00:16:02,544 --> 00:16:04,630
And I know people go
to the beach to relax.
397
00:16:04,713 --> 00:16:06,507
People find the beach very relaxing.
398
00:16:06,590 --> 00:16:07,800
Not so much for me.
399
00:16:08,509 --> 00:16:10,469
It's like being allergic to bees
400
00:16:10,552 --> 00:16:13,263
and then, for vacation,
becoming a beekeeper.
401
00:16:13,347 --> 00:16:14,640
[laughter]
402
00:16:14,723 --> 00:16:17,226
My one goal was to just not burn.
403
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:19,520
I didn't want to be the sunburned adult.
404
00:16:19,603 --> 00:16:22,022
You see a kid with a sunburn,
you're like, "Parenting is hard."
405
00:16:22,106 --> 00:16:24,024
You see an adult with a sunburn,
you're like,
406
00:16:24,108 --> 00:16:25,442
"That's an alcoholic."
407
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:27,903
-[laughter]
-Right?
408
00:16:27,987 --> 00:16:29,029
'Cause…
409
00:16:29,113 --> 00:16:31,073
[cheering and applauding]
410
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:33,784
A sunburn on an adult
411
00:16:33,867 --> 00:16:36,161
is like a scarlet letter
412
00:16:36,245 --> 00:16:37,705
for poor judgment.
413
00:16:37,788 --> 00:16:38,706
[laughter]
414
00:16:38,789 --> 00:16:40,332
There is no excuse.
415
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:42,793
[gruff voice]
"Well, I was caught off-guard this time."
416
00:16:42,876 --> 00:16:44,920
[laughter]
417
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,881
"I didn't know the fireball in the sky
would be hot this time."
418
00:16:47,965 --> 00:16:50,509
[laughter]
419
00:16:52,761 --> 00:16:55,347
[normal voice] When we weren't
at the beach, we did activities.
420
00:16:55,431 --> 00:16:57,850
I went zip-lining for the last time.
421
00:16:57,933 --> 00:16:59,393
[laughter]
422
00:16:59,476 --> 00:17:02,062
What is wrong with us?
423
00:17:02,146 --> 00:17:04,231
"Hey, you wanna feel like
you're about to die?"
424
00:17:04,314 --> 00:17:05,441
[laughter]
425
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:08,694
"Would you pay 200 dollars to feel like
you're about to die six times?"
426
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:09,695
[laughter]
427
00:17:09,778 --> 00:17:12,406
Why don't you just walk into traffic?
428
00:17:13,574 --> 00:17:16,243
"Did you see that bus almost hit me?
I feel so alive."
429
00:17:16,326 --> 00:17:18,287
[laughter]
430
00:17:18,370 --> 00:17:21,040
Why don't you just take off your mask
at a biker rally?
431
00:17:21,123 --> 00:17:22,916
-[laughter]
-You know?
432
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,504
-[cheering and applauding]
-[chuckles]
433
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:32,634
If you've been zip-lining,
you know to slow down,
434
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:34,511
you have to spread out your arms and legs.
435
00:17:34,595 --> 00:17:35,804
That supposedly slows you down.
436
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:37,848
It also makes it look like a suicide.
437
00:17:37,931 --> 00:17:39,099
[laughter]
438
00:17:39,183 --> 00:17:42,603
"Oh, if he didn't wanna die,
why was he doing the chalk outline?"
439
00:17:42,686 --> 00:17:44,396
[laughter]
440
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,357
It's such a weird--
How did they even come up with zip-lining?
441
00:17:47,441 --> 00:17:50,611
[southern accent] "Hey, you know how
telephone poles have a wire between 'em?"
442
00:17:51,195 --> 00:17:53,280
"What if we just put the tourists
up there?"
443
00:17:53,363 --> 00:17:55,449
[laughter]
444
00:17:55,532 --> 00:17:56,742
"Why would tourists do that?"
445
00:17:56,825 --> 00:17:59,578
[southern accent] "Don't know.
Why would they pay to swim with sharks?"
446
00:17:59,661 --> 00:18:01,038
[laughter]
447
00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:02,664
[normal voice] We did go snorkeling.
448
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:04,083
I wasn't worried for myself
449
00:18:04,166 --> 00:18:06,460
'cause I figured sharks would look
at my legs and be like,
450
00:18:06,543 --> 00:18:07,753
"Those can't be real."
451
00:18:07,836 --> 00:18:09,671
[laughter]
452
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:13,342
"I'm not gonna bite into
another mannequin, that's for sure."
453
00:18:13,425 --> 00:18:15,844
[laughter]
454
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:20,140
Sometimes, when my family
would go to the beach,
455
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:22,017
I'd go for a hike by myself,
456
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:24,353
which was boring,
but I figured how to make it fun.
457
00:18:24,436 --> 00:18:26,939
I started bringing a ketchup packet,
458
00:18:27,022 --> 00:18:29,566
and halfway through the hike,
I'd open up the ketchup packet
459
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:31,401
and rub it on my hands and my face,
460
00:18:31,485 --> 00:18:33,987
then I'd just approach romantic couples.
461
00:18:34,071 --> 00:18:35,447
[laughter]
462
00:18:35,531 --> 00:18:37,074
"Have you seen my wife?"
463
00:18:37,157 --> 00:18:40,035
[laughter]
464
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,411
[stammers] "No."
465
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:44,498
"But you heard her
sassing off to me, right?"
466
00:18:44,581 --> 00:18:47,417
[laughter]
467
00:18:47,501 --> 00:18:49,419
"I can still smell her sin."
468
00:18:49,503 --> 00:18:51,255
[laughter]
469
00:18:51,338 --> 00:18:53,382
"Jim, that joke's scary."
470
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:54,466
[laughter]
471
00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:56,677
"That's a scary joke."
472
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,761
[laughter]
473
00:18:58,637 --> 00:19:00,681
The pandemic continues, but we're…
474
00:19:00,764 --> 00:19:03,016
we're also processing part
of the pandemic.
475
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,435
We went a year and a half
with no weddings,
476
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:08,522
no kids' birthday parties,
no family reunions,
477
00:19:08,605 --> 00:19:10,357
but it wasn't all good news.
478
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,441
[laughter]
479
00:19:11,525 --> 00:19:13,819
Right? [chuckles]
480
00:19:13,902 --> 00:19:18,365
-Right? Huh?
-[applause]
481
00:19:18,448 --> 00:19:21,451
Some things-- I don't think
some things are coming back.
482
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:24,830
Like parades. I think that might
be a wrap on parades. [chuckles]
483
00:19:24,913 --> 00:19:26,957
[laughter]
484
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,377
There was never anything
that impressive about a parade.
485
00:19:30,460 --> 00:19:33,672
You're all like, "Hey, kids, look.
People are… walking."
486
00:19:33,755 --> 00:19:35,883
[laughter]
487
00:19:35,966 --> 00:19:38,427
"Creating unnecessary traffic."
488
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:39,887
[laughter]
489
00:19:39,970 --> 00:19:42,514
Before the pandemic,
if you ran into a parade,
490
00:19:42,598 --> 00:19:45,184
you were never like, "Oh, cool, a parade."
491
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:47,561
You were always kind of like,
"I hate humans."
492
00:19:47,644 --> 00:19:48,812
[laughter]
493
00:19:48,896 --> 00:19:51,398
The only people really enjoying the parade
494
00:19:51,481 --> 00:19:53,650
were the people marching in the parade.
495
00:19:54,276 --> 00:19:57,571
Even the people on the sidewalk
were like, "How long is this?"
496
00:19:57,654 --> 00:19:58,906
[laughter]
497
00:19:58,989 --> 00:20:01,074
Of course, the highlight of most parades
498
00:20:01,158 --> 00:20:03,118
is the marching band, right?
499
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:04,077
[applause]
500
00:20:04,161 --> 00:20:06,830
And on TV, that bird's-eye view
of the marching band
501
00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:08,540
is so impressive, right?
502
00:20:08,624 --> 00:20:10,459
But on a street level,
you always felt like
503
00:20:10,542 --> 00:20:12,544
you were being invaded by nerds.
504
00:20:12,628 --> 00:20:13,629
[laughter]
505
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:16,548
"Uh-oh. Here they come. Hide your Xbox."
506
00:20:16,632 --> 00:20:18,217
[laughter]
507
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:20,344
But marching bands are amazing, right?
508
00:20:20,427 --> 00:20:22,638
They practice as much as the athletes.
509
00:20:22,721 --> 00:20:24,097
They're always rehearsing.
510
00:20:24,181 --> 00:20:27,100
It's amazing how much effort goes
into creating something
511
00:20:27,184 --> 00:20:28,727
that no one really likes.
512
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:31,772
[laughter]
513
00:20:31,855 --> 00:20:33,065
I'm kidding. [chuckles]
514
00:20:33,148 --> 00:20:35,108
[laughter]
515
00:20:35,192 --> 00:20:37,611
I know there's some
marching band people here and it…
516
00:20:37,694 --> 00:20:40,072
-[cheering]
-And then for those-- You know, like--
517
00:20:40,155 --> 00:20:43,075
The reality is,
a marching band can take a song--
518
00:20:43,158 --> 00:20:45,118
It's pretty impressive-- any song,
519
00:20:45,202 --> 00:20:46,245
and ruin it.
520
00:20:46,328 --> 00:20:47,454
[laughter]
521
00:20:47,537 --> 00:20:51,458
-[chuckles]
-[applause]
522
00:20:51,541 --> 00:20:55,295
You know, like, "Wow, I didn't know
I could hate 'Uptown Funk' that much."
523
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:57,381
[laughter]
524
00:20:57,464 --> 00:20:59,967
You're never listening to a song
and think,
525
00:21:00,050 --> 00:21:02,302
"I wish there was
a marching band version of this."
526
00:21:02,386 --> 00:21:03,679
[laughter]
527
00:21:06,473 --> 00:21:09,726
And I understand there's
some proud marching band people here.
528
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:12,896
And in full disclosure,
I could never be in a marching band
529
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:14,564
'cause I've had sex.
530
00:21:14,648 --> 00:21:16,275
[laughter]
531
00:21:16,358 --> 00:21:20,237
-[cheering and applauding]
-[Jim chuckles]
532
00:21:23,490 --> 00:21:27,369
"He's… He's gonna get beat up
by a marching band."
533
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:28,495
[laughter]
534
00:21:28,578 --> 00:21:32,291
No, I know that people cherish their time
in the marching band, they do.
535
00:21:32,374 --> 00:21:36,670
But to me, it just seems like
we're dissuading careers in music.
536
00:21:36,753 --> 00:21:38,672
It's like, "Oh, you wanna be
a musician? Okay."
537
00:21:38,755 --> 00:21:40,632
"Put on this Captain Crunch costume."
538
00:21:40,716 --> 00:21:42,342
[laughter]
539
00:21:42,426 --> 00:21:45,804
"At halftime, march around the field
while we grab some hot dogs."
540
00:21:45,887 --> 00:21:46,972
[laughter]
541
00:21:47,055 --> 00:21:48,473
"Do that for a couple semesters,
542
00:21:48,557 --> 00:21:50,767
then we'll see
if you still wanna be a musician."
543
00:21:50,851 --> 00:21:53,729
[audience laughing]
544
00:21:53,812 --> 00:21:57,149
Did you know that--? I didn't know this.
Marching bands started as military bands.
545
00:21:57,232 --> 00:22:00,235
They would march armies into battle,
546
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:03,363
and they were for morale
and to intimidate the enemy.
547
00:22:03,447 --> 00:22:05,198
I don't know how that would work.
548
00:22:05,282 --> 00:22:06,325
[laughter]
549
00:22:06,408 --> 00:22:08,785
"Oh, no. They know Fleetwood Mac."
550
00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:11,038
[laughter and applause]
551
00:22:11,121 --> 00:22:12,497
"Should we go back?"
552
00:22:12,581 --> 00:22:15,375
[screams]
"What if Lindsey Buckingham is with them?"
553
00:22:15,459 --> 00:22:16,626
[laughter]
554
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:21,506
How did they convince someone
playing a trumpet to march into battle…
555
00:22:22,424 --> 00:22:23,717
"Head on in there."
556
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,177
[laughter]
557
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:27,596
[stammers] "Won't they have weapons?"
558
00:22:27,679 --> 00:22:29,598
"You're gonna fight them with music."
559
00:22:29,681 --> 00:22:31,808
[laughter]
560
00:22:31,892 --> 00:22:34,770
"If you survive, please wake us up
in the morning with a…"
561
00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:36,813
-[imitates trumpet sounds]
-[laughter]
562
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:42,027
[audience continues laughing]
563
00:22:42,110 --> 00:22:45,906
I love it when trumpet players
have the plunger at the end.
564
00:22:45,989 --> 00:22:48,784
-[laughter]
-[imitates trumpet sounds]
565
00:22:49,993 --> 00:22:51,119
Who came up with that?
566
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:53,163
"You know, I was listening to you
play the trumpet
567
00:22:53,246 --> 00:22:56,208
and it reminded me
of when I clogged my toilet."
568
00:22:56,291 --> 00:22:57,793
[audience laughing]
569
00:22:57,876 --> 00:23:00,420
"I'd eaten six Big Macs
on a dare, anyway."
570
00:23:00,504 --> 00:23:03,882
"Uh, I brought my plunger.
It's kind of clean."
571
00:23:03,965 --> 00:23:07,636
"If you could place it at the end
of your expensive music equipment,
572
00:23:07,719 --> 00:23:09,596
and give me a 'wah-wah.'"
573
00:23:09,679 --> 00:23:11,014
[audience laughing]
574
00:23:11,098 --> 00:23:12,140
"Go ahead."
575
00:23:13,141 --> 00:23:15,894
-[imitates trumpet sounds]
-[laughter]
576
00:23:15,977 --> 00:23:18,021
"Have you ever thought
of becoming a plumber?"
577
00:23:18,105 --> 00:23:19,523
[laughter]
578
00:23:21,483 --> 00:23:23,068
[whispers] It's ridiculous.
579
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:26,780
People always know someone
who looks like me.
580
00:23:26,863 --> 00:23:29,741
Wherever I go, once a week,
someone will come up to me and go,
581
00:23:29,825 --> 00:23:32,119
[deep voice]
"Hey, I know someone that looks like you."
582
00:23:32,202 --> 00:23:34,538
[normal] I never know what to say.
"Well, tell him 'Hi.'"
583
00:23:34,621 --> 00:23:37,207
[laughter]
584
00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:39,126
"Encourage them to wear sunscreen."
585
00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:41,378
[laughter]
586
00:23:41,461 --> 00:23:43,130
And this person who looks like me
587
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:45,757
never doing something impressive
with their life.
588
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:46,716
[laughter]
589
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,260
"Yeah, he mows our lawn."
590
00:23:48,343 --> 00:23:50,345
[laughter]
591
00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:52,514
"We don't even pay him. He just does it."
592
00:23:52,597 --> 00:23:54,474
[laughter]
593
00:23:54,558 --> 00:23:56,935
-That sounds like my gene pool.
-[laughter]
594
00:23:57,519 --> 00:24:02,357
Occasionally, on social media,
I'll be sent photos of babies
595
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:04,192
who supposedly look like me.
596
00:24:04,901 --> 00:24:07,654
"This baby looks like Jim Gaffigan."
597
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:09,948
People think it's hysterical
598
00:24:10,031 --> 00:24:13,285
that I look like a pale,
pudgy, bald infant
599
00:24:14,327 --> 00:24:16,204
who poops in a diaper.
600
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:17,456
[laughter]
601
00:24:17,539 --> 00:24:18,874
Sometimes, people get too cute.
602
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:22,043
They're like, "Hey, why does
our baby son look like Jim Gaffigan?"
603
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:24,087
I'm like, "'Cause I slept with your wife."
604
00:24:24,171 --> 00:24:26,756
[laughter]
605
00:24:30,677 --> 00:24:34,973
Now if you think it's humiliating
to be told you look like a baby,
606
00:24:35,056 --> 00:24:39,644
you should know I've also been sent photos
of cats that supposedly… [chuckles]
607
00:24:39,728 --> 00:24:41,938
-…look like me.
-[laughter]
608
00:24:42,022 --> 00:24:46,401
Not once or twice, we're talking
about dozens of different cats.
609
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:47,736
Always the same message.
610
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:50,614
"This cat looks like Jim Gaffigan."
611
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:54,618
I don't know what they're implying,
you know.
612
00:24:54,701 --> 00:24:57,037
That I fathered a cat out of wedlock?
613
00:24:57,120 --> 00:24:58,413
[laughter]
614
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:01,708
When I was lonely after a show
so I went for a walk and…
615
00:25:02,876 --> 00:25:04,794
an alley cat asked
for a cigarette and…
616
00:25:04,878 --> 00:25:06,296
[laughter]
617
00:25:06,379 --> 00:25:07,923
I said I don't smoke and…
618
00:25:08,798 --> 00:25:10,425
well, we started talking and…
619
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:11,635
[laughter]
620
00:25:11,718 --> 00:25:13,845
before you know it, the sun was coming up.
621
00:25:13,929 --> 00:25:15,013
[laughter]
622
00:25:16,139 --> 00:25:17,974
I never saw that cat again.
623
00:25:18,058 --> 00:25:20,018
[laughter]
624
00:25:20,101 --> 00:25:22,270
I can still smell her dander.
625
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:24,940
[laughter]
626
00:25:25,023 --> 00:25:27,651
Now, if you think it's humiliating
627
00:25:27,734 --> 00:25:31,279
to be told you look like a baby or a cat,
628
00:25:31,988 --> 00:25:37,369
you should know I was once sent a photo
of someone's kneecap…
629
00:25:37,452 --> 00:25:40,372
-[chuckles]
-[laughter]
630
00:25:40,455 --> 00:25:45,794
…with the message,
"This kneecap looks like Jim Gaffigan."
631
00:25:45,877 --> 00:25:47,837
[laughter]
632
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,800
And you know what?
[stammers] I did look like that kneecap.
633
00:25:51,883 --> 00:25:53,760
[audience laughing]
634
00:25:53,843 --> 00:25:56,096
But I don't know
what they were implying, you know.
635
00:25:56,179 --> 00:25:58,848
That I fathered a kneecap out of wedlock?
636
00:26:00,475 --> 00:26:02,519
That I was lonely after a show and…
637
00:26:02,602 --> 00:26:03,853
[laughter]
638
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:07,107
I went for a walk and a kneecap asked
for a cigarette and…
639
00:26:07,816 --> 00:26:09,442
and I said I don't smoke and…
640
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:11,736
we started talking.
641
00:26:11,820 --> 00:26:13,280
[laughter]
642
00:26:13,363 --> 00:26:15,282
Before you know it, the sun was coming up.
643
00:26:15,365 --> 00:26:17,534
[laughter]
644
00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:19,578
I never saw that kneecap again.
645
00:26:19,661 --> 00:26:21,121
[laughter]
646
00:26:21,204 --> 00:26:23,456
Now, if you think it's humiliating…
647
00:26:23,540 --> 00:26:25,250
[laughter]
648
00:26:25,333 --> 00:26:31,256
…to be told you look like the fleshy,
wrinkly part of a stranger's leg…
649
00:26:32,507 --> 00:26:33,842
it is.
650
00:26:33,925 --> 00:26:35,385
[laughter]
651
00:26:35,468 --> 00:26:38,972
Or, uh, you know, I thought it was.
And then I had this realization.
652
00:26:39,055 --> 00:26:41,933
[stammers]
I figured out what had happened.
653
00:26:42,017 --> 00:26:43,226
You know, it all made sense.
654
00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:45,854
There might be one person in here
that's like, "Jim, you're crazy."
655
00:26:45,937 --> 00:26:48,231
But I think the rest of you
will see the logic here.
656
00:26:49,649 --> 00:26:56,281
What happened is, this kneecap person,
obviously, went to a plastic surgeon…
657
00:26:56,364 --> 00:26:57,699
[laughter]
658
00:26:57,782 --> 00:27:01,911
Right? And said, "I would like my kneecap
659
00:27:02,495 --> 00:27:06,166
to look like the most underrated comedian
in America."
660
00:27:07,083 --> 00:27:11,338
Right? And the plastic surgeon said,
661
00:27:11,421 --> 00:27:12,714
"You mean John Mulaney?"
662
00:27:12,797 --> 00:27:15,342
[laughter]
663
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:19,262
And the kneecap person said,
"No, Jim Gaffigan."
664
00:27:19,888 --> 00:27:22,849
And the plastic surgeon said,
"I don't know who that is."
665
00:27:22,932 --> 00:27:24,100
[laughter]
666
00:27:24,184 --> 00:27:26,811
And then the kneecap person said,
667
00:27:27,562 --> 00:27:31,775
"He's kind of a pale, pudgy guy
who looks like a baby or a cat."
668
00:27:31,858 --> 00:27:33,902
[laughter]
669
00:27:33,985 --> 00:27:35,528
That's probably what happened.
670
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:37,489
[laughter]
671
00:27:37,572 --> 00:27:38,990
That's weird.
672
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:43,411
I normally get told I look like
other humans though. I, uh…
673
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:47,415
In Utah, I always get told I look Mormon.
674
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:50,001
I didn't even know
you could look like a religion.
675
00:27:50,085 --> 00:27:51,044
[laughter]
676
00:27:51,127 --> 00:27:53,088
But apparently, I do.
And I've done research.
677
00:27:53,171 --> 00:27:55,548
I don't look like one of the founders
of the Mormons.
678
00:27:55,632 --> 00:27:58,301
I don't look like a present leader
of the Mormons.
679
00:27:58,385 --> 00:28:01,471
I don't even look like a guy
who could have more than one wife.
680
00:28:01,554 --> 00:28:03,890
[laughter]
681
00:28:03,973 --> 00:28:06,184
I just somehow look Mormon. [chuckles]
682
00:28:06,267 --> 00:28:07,227
[laughter]
683
00:28:07,310 --> 00:28:09,854
Of course, the Mormons
no longer practice polygamy.
684
00:28:09,938 --> 00:28:13,650
But for a while there, a Mormon man
could have more than one wife.
685
00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:15,610
I don't know if that was a selling point.
686
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:16,653
[laughter]
687
00:28:16,736 --> 00:28:21,157
'Cause I love my wife, and I can
honestly say I don't want another one.
688
00:28:21,241 --> 00:28:23,785
[laughter]
689
00:28:23,868 --> 00:28:26,871
I feel like disappointing one person
is enough.
690
00:28:26,955 --> 00:28:28,623
[laughter]
691
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:32,210
Could you imagine
having two spouses mad at you?
692
00:28:32,293 --> 00:28:33,169
[laughter]
693
00:28:33,253 --> 00:28:35,380
And you couldn't drink coffee?
694
00:28:35,463 --> 00:28:37,090
[laughter]
695
00:28:37,173 --> 00:28:38,383
No, thanks.
696
00:28:38,466 --> 00:28:41,052
I hope it doesn't sound like
I'm picking on Mormons.
697
00:28:41,136 --> 00:28:44,305
Most organized religions
have negative stereotypes.
698
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:47,976
Luckily, I'm Catholic, so I don't have
to worry about that, all right.
699
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:49,018
[laughter]
700
00:28:49,102 --> 00:28:54,315
[cheering and applauding]
701
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:56,943
Sometimes people don't believe me.
Like, "Are you really Catholic?"
702
00:28:57,026 --> 00:28:59,237
"No, I'm just saying that to impress you."
703
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,739
[laughter]
704
00:29:00,822 --> 00:29:03,324
"I wanna come across like
I have good judgment."
705
00:29:03,408 --> 00:29:04,617
[laughter]
706
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:07,996
At this point, it's almost like
Catholics are trying to lose followers.
707
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:10,832
They're like, "What else can we do?
What else?"
708
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:14,210
"Why don't we make Bill Cosby pope?
Let's try that."
709
00:29:14,294 --> 00:29:16,337
[laughter]
710
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:19,632
Catholics have made an art
of shrinking their religion.
711
00:29:19,716 --> 00:29:23,636
Even back to the Great Schism of 1054
where the Eastern Orthodox
712
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,555
and the Roman Catholics split apart,
713
00:29:25,638 --> 00:29:28,641
the Orthodox were like,
"We wanna celebrate Christmas in January."
714
00:29:28,725 --> 00:29:31,227
And the Catholics were like,
"We like pedophiles."
715
00:29:31,311 --> 00:29:33,438
[laughter]
716
00:29:33,521 --> 00:29:35,440
I know. That one's hard for me too.
717
00:29:35,523 --> 00:29:36,858
[laughter]
718
00:29:37,484 --> 00:29:40,195
And then there was
the, uh, Protestant Reformation.
719
00:29:40,278 --> 00:29:43,031
You didn't even know
this is a religion history class, did you?
720
00:29:43,114 --> 00:29:43,990
[laughter]
721
00:29:44,073 --> 00:29:46,868
No, there was the Protestant Reformation
in the 1500s
722
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:51,122
when Martin Luther, who probably thought
he'd be the most famous Martin Luther…
723
00:29:51,206 --> 00:29:52,040
[laughter]
724
00:29:52,123 --> 00:29:56,753
Right? He was like, "That's it.
I'm the king of Martin Luthers."
725
00:29:56,836 --> 00:29:58,087
[laughter]
726
00:29:58,171 --> 00:30:01,007
"Don't be surprised if one day,
I get my own holiday."
727
00:30:01,090 --> 00:30:02,509
[laughter]
728
00:30:02,592 --> 00:30:05,512
No, Martin Luther,
he had those 95 problems,
729
00:30:05,595 --> 00:30:08,014
but a bitch ain't one, right?
730
00:30:08,097 --> 00:30:10,183
[laughter and applause]
731
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:13,144
'Cause at the time,
the Catholic church was super corrupt.
732
00:30:13,228 --> 00:30:14,771
Thankfully, it's not anymore.
733
00:30:14,854 --> 00:30:16,689
[laughter]
734
00:30:16,773 --> 00:30:18,483
Some Catholics get really angry.
735
00:30:18,566 --> 00:30:21,569
"You're so critical of Catholic church,
why you even Catholic?"
736
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:24,364
Because I believe human beings
are inherently flawed.
737
00:30:24,447 --> 00:30:25,865
That's one of the reasons.
738
00:30:25,949 --> 00:30:28,535
But mainly, I'm afraid of my wife.
739
00:30:28,618 --> 00:30:31,996
-[laughter]
-Huh?
740
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,707
I don't think there's anything
intrinsically wrong
741
00:30:34,791 --> 00:30:36,125
with organized religion.
742
00:30:36,209 --> 00:30:39,629
It's just the human interpretation, right?
743
00:30:39,712 --> 00:30:42,507
Most organized religions,
God's saying a similar thing.
744
00:30:42,590 --> 00:30:44,759
He's like,
"I want you to love one another."
745
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:48,972
And the humans are like, "Got it, got it.
He said kill gay people, so…"
746
00:30:49,055 --> 00:30:51,099
[audience laughing]
747
00:30:51,182 --> 00:30:52,559
"Let's get to work."
748
00:30:54,435 --> 00:30:58,064
As a result, all organized religions
are struggling right now.
749
00:30:58,147 --> 00:30:59,941
Muslims, they're killing it.
750
00:31:00,024 --> 00:31:03,111
Muslims are like, "Oh, Catholics,
you think you can alienate people?"
751
00:31:03,194 --> 00:31:04,821
"Hold my hummus."
752
00:31:04,904 --> 00:31:06,281
[audience laughing]
753
00:31:06,364 --> 00:31:08,199
"Let me show you how it's done."
754
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:10,410
i'm sure some of you
are looking at me like,
755
00:31:10,493 --> 00:31:13,079
"Hey, Jim, you look like
a former Hitler Youth."
756
00:31:13,162 --> 00:31:15,248
[audience laughing]
757
00:31:15,331 --> 00:31:17,458
"What are your views on Judaism?"
758
00:31:18,501 --> 00:31:20,962
"I'd like to see you destroy
your career tonight."
759
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:23,798
[audience laughing]
760
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:26,050
Well, I'm not frightened.
I'll tell you what I think.
761
00:31:26,134 --> 00:31:28,678
I think Judaism is perfect.
762
00:31:28,761 --> 00:31:30,263
[laughter]
763
00:31:30,346 --> 00:31:34,309
There's nothing wrong with it.
And I'd like to be in more feature films.
764
00:31:34,392 --> 00:31:37,770
[laughter and applause]
765
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:38,897
That's…
766
00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:40,940
[cheering and applauding]
767
00:31:41,024 --> 00:31:42,358
That's some, uh…
768
00:31:44,861 --> 00:31:47,697
That's some good old-fashioned
pandering anti-Semitism.
769
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:49,032
[laughter]
770
00:31:49,115 --> 00:31:51,075
Really, the only organized religion,
771
00:31:51,159 --> 00:31:53,745
without a negative stereotype,
is Buddhism.
772
00:31:53,828 --> 00:31:56,873
Right? You'd think more Americans
would be Buddhists.
773
00:31:56,956 --> 00:32:00,168
'Cause if you look at Buddha,
he kind of looks like an American.
774
00:32:00,251 --> 00:32:02,420
[laughter]
775
00:32:02,503 --> 00:32:05,089
Buddha looks like someone
you'd watch the game with.
776
00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:06,090
[laughter]
777
00:32:06,174 --> 00:32:08,843
[in deep voice] "Buddha always gets
a keg for the playoffs."
778
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:09,886
[laughter]
779
00:32:09,969 --> 00:32:12,055
"Buddha! Buddha!"
780
00:32:12,138 --> 00:32:13,514
[laughter]
781
00:32:14,515 --> 00:32:17,852
You know, in real life, Buddha was thin.
He wasn't even a big guy.
782
00:32:17,936 --> 00:32:20,855
They made him heavy
to make the religion more appealing.
783
00:32:20,939 --> 00:32:23,900
'Cause at that time,
being heavy was a sign of success.
784
00:32:23,983 --> 00:32:27,153
Also at that time, being lighter-skinned
was a sign of success.
785
00:32:27,236 --> 00:32:31,491
So back then,
I would have been like Jeff Bezos, so…
786
00:32:31,574 --> 00:32:32,992
[laughter]
787
00:32:34,452 --> 00:32:38,706
Bezos. Who's your favorite
billionaire-pretend astronaut?
788
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:40,249
[laughter]
789
00:32:40,333 --> 00:32:41,584
Hmm?
790
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:44,295
Can you believe there's a choice?
791
00:32:44,379 --> 00:32:45,797
[laughter]
792
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,424
And it's not between just two. [chuckles]
793
00:32:49,342 --> 00:32:54,389
We live in a day when billionaires
are building their own rockets
794
00:32:54,472 --> 00:32:57,767
to fly to outer space,
and no one's saying,
795
00:32:57,850 --> 00:33:00,478
"Are you sure they're paying
all their taxes?"
796
00:33:00,561 --> 00:33:01,396
[laughter]
797
00:33:01,479 --> 00:33:04,732
"'Cause I know some teachers
that need supplies."
798
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:09,821
[cheering and applauding]
799
00:33:12,782 --> 00:33:16,369
It's like these billionaires are trying
to execute the plan
800
00:33:16,452 --> 00:33:17,996
of a five-year-old boy.
801
00:33:18,079 --> 00:33:18,913
[laughter]
802
00:33:18,997 --> 00:33:22,000
[kid voice] "When I grow up,
I'm gonna be a bazillionaire!"
803
00:33:22,083 --> 00:33:23,167
[laughter]
804
00:33:23,251 --> 00:33:25,461
"And I'm gonna build my own spaceship!"
805
00:33:25,545 --> 00:33:26,671
[laughter]
806
00:33:26,754 --> 00:33:29,173
"And fly to outer space!"
807
00:33:30,341 --> 00:33:32,010
[imitating mother's voice]
"Okay, Jeffrey."
808
00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:33,428
[laughter]
809
00:33:33,511 --> 00:33:35,638
"But now it's time for bed."
810
00:33:35,722 --> 00:33:37,223
[laughter]
811
00:33:37,306 --> 00:33:40,810
I almost feel sorry for the accountants
of the billionaires.
812
00:33:40,893 --> 00:33:42,812
'Cause they were like,
"You had an amazing year."
813
00:33:42,895 --> 00:33:44,939
"You made 40 billion dollars."
814
00:33:45,023 --> 00:33:47,734
"But I fudged the numbers
so it looks like you broke even."
815
00:33:47,817 --> 00:33:48,776
[laughter]
816
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:51,320
"As long as you lay low
and don't draw attention,
817
00:33:51,404 --> 00:33:52,530
we should be fine."
818
00:33:52,613 --> 00:33:54,282
[laughter]
819
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:55,533
"You got anything coming up?"
820
00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:59,704
-[imitating Elon Musk] "I built a rocket…"
-[laughter]
821
00:33:59,787 --> 00:34:02,040
"…to fly to outer space."
822
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:07,378
[laughter]
823
00:34:07,462 --> 00:34:10,965
[sighs] "You know I meant to lay low
on this planet."
824
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:12,633
[laughter]
825
00:34:12,717 --> 00:34:15,887
[Elon Musk voice] "Does it matter
if the rocket's shaped like a penis?"
826
00:34:15,970 --> 00:34:19,307
[laughter and applause]
827
00:34:24,145 --> 00:34:28,858
I do enjoy the reasoning
of the billionaires for going to space.
828
00:34:28,941 --> 00:34:34,489
They're like, "I'm going to outer space
so eventually you can go to outer space."
829
00:34:34,572 --> 00:34:35,490
[laughter]
830
00:34:35,573 --> 00:34:37,158
"I'm going so you can go."
831
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:39,786
"I don't wanna go to outer space."
832
00:34:39,869 --> 00:34:41,662
[laughter]
833
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:42,955
"I wanna go to Italy."
834
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:45,833
[laughter]
835
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,293
Why don't you work on that?
836
00:34:47,376 --> 00:34:49,837
[laughter]
837
00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:53,508
I saw a hitchhiker recently.
You never see that anymore.
838
00:34:53,591 --> 00:34:55,843
Of course, we no longer
refer to them as "hitchhikers."
839
00:34:55,927 --> 00:34:57,929
Now we call them "murderers".
840
00:34:58,012 --> 00:34:59,889
[laughter]
841
00:34:59,972 --> 00:35:04,310
Which is what they do. They murder
the nice people that give them rides.
842
00:35:04,393 --> 00:35:06,521
Talk about a lack of gratitude.
843
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:08,648
"Thanks for picking me up." Stab.
844
00:35:08,731 --> 00:35:11,025
[laughter]
845
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:14,237
Hitchhiking disappeared 'cause
it was dangerous for both participants.
846
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,322
Right? The hitchhiker and the driver.
847
00:35:16,405 --> 00:35:18,783
And, you know, at one point,
there must have been like
848
00:35:18,866 --> 00:35:21,661
a murderer driving around
looking to pick up a hitchhiker,
849
00:35:21,744 --> 00:35:24,664
and he picked up a hitchhiker
who was also a murderer.
850
00:35:24,747 --> 00:35:25,832
[audience laughing]
851
00:35:25,915 --> 00:35:27,667
And the driver was like,
"I'm gonna kill you."
852
00:35:27,750 --> 00:35:30,211
And the hitchhiker was like,
"I'm gonna kill you."
853
00:35:30,294 --> 00:35:31,420
[audience laughing]
854
00:35:31,504 --> 00:35:33,506
And I bet they had a laugh.
855
00:35:33,589 --> 00:35:35,258
[audience laughing]
856
00:35:35,341 --> 00:35:37,760
I bet they laughed.
857
00:35:38,886 --> 00:35:41,681
And then slowly but surely,
"they fell in love."
858
00:35:41,764 --> 00:35:43,057
[audience laughing]
859
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:44,934
"And that's what my musical's about."
860
00:35:45,017 --> 00:35:46,811
[audience laughing]
861
00:35:46,894 --> 00:35:48,062
It's called Hitched.
862
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:50,314
[audience laughing]
863
00:35:52,692 --> 00:35:55,653
Flew in Thursday,
uh, driving from the airport,
864
00:35:55,736 --> 00:35:58,698
I saw this guy on a motorcycle
and he looked so happy.
865
00:35:59,365 --> 00:36:02,827
You know, and whenever I see a motorcycle
that's on the highway,
866
00:36:02,910 --> 00:36:04,120
I always have the same thought.
867
00:36:04,203 --> 00:36:05,788
"You're gonna die."
868
00:36:05,872 --> 00:36:07,707
[audience laughing]
869
00:36:07,790 --> 00:36:10,918
"What are you doing on the highway?
You're gonna die."
870
00:36:11,002 --> 00:36:14,338
And the only reason I say that
is 'cause they're gonna die.
871
00:36:14,422 --> 00:36:15,923
[audience laughing]
872
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:17,675
I don't even know what the thinking is.
873
00:36:17,758 --> 00:36:20,011
[in husky voice]
"Well, I have to travel a long distance."
874
00:36:20,094 --> 00:36:24,223
"Should I take the car or this
motorized chair with no seat belt?"
875
00:36:24,307 --> 00:36:25,683
[audience laughing]
876
00:36:25,766 --> 00:36:27,935
"If I sneeze, I'll never walk again."
877
00:36:28,019 --> 00:36:29,604
[audience laughing]
878
00:36:29,687 --> 00:36:30,646
"Live to ride."
879
00:36:30,730 --> 00:36:32,565
And then die!
880
00:36:34,108 --> 00:36:37,403
I heard the motorcycle before I saw it.
We've all heard those loud motorcycles.
881
00:36:37,486 --> 00:36:39,614
[imitates sound
of motorcycle engine revving]
882
00:36:39,697 --> 00:36:41,741
"Wow, how small is his penis?"
883
00:36:41,824 --> 00:36:44,869
[audience laughing, applause]
884
00:36:47,955 --> 00:36:51,042
And I didn't know that's the reason
some motorcycles are so loud
885
00:36:51,125 --> 00:36:54,128
is 'cause they want you to know
they're gonna die.
886
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:55,838
[audience laughing]
887
00:36:55,922 --> 00:36:58,090
I have friends that love motorcycles.
888
00:36:58,174 --> 00:36:59,967
Some women are really into bikers.
889
00:37:00,051 --> 00:37:01,928
They're like,
"I just like a man who's dangerous,
890
00:37:02,011 --> 00:37:03,512
who can't afford a car."
891
00:37:03,596 --> 00:37:05,348
[audience laughing]
892
00:37:05,431 --> 00:37:07,183
"And who's definitely gonna die."
893
00:37:08,684 --> 00:37:10,895
But bikers are fascinating, right?
894
00:37:10,978 --> 00:37:13,606
What a uniquely American subculture.
895
00:37:13,689 --> 00:37:16,525
They're all about macho
independence, right?
896
00:37:16,609 --> 00:37:20,488
They're all about the independence.
Like, "I just wanna be out on the road,
897
00:37:20,571 --> 00:37:23,241
just me and my bike, alone,
898
00:37:23,324 --> 00:37:25,368
with 30 other guys."
899
00:37:25,451 --> 00:37:26,869
[audience laughing]
900
00:37:26,953 --> 00:37:28,704
"In matching outfits."
901
00:37:30,122 --> 00:37:33,334
"Riding in tandem so close,
we can French-kiss each other."
902
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:35,878
[audience laughing]
903
00:37:35,962 --> 00:37:39,799
He's gonna get beat up by a marching band
and a gang of bikers.
904
00:37:39,882 --> 00:37:41,634
-[audience laughing]
-[chuckles]
905
00:37:41,717 --> 00:37:45,805
[cheering and applause]
906
00:37:45,888 --> 00:37:52,270
Bikers are grown men who make the same
phone calls of an eight-year-old boy.
907
00:37:52,353 --> 00:37:54,313
"You guys wanna ride bikes tonight?"
908
00:37:54,397 --> 00:37:56,899
[audience laughing]
909
00:37:56,983 --> 00:37:59,944
"Well, I don't wanna go alone.
It's scary out there. Ask your mommy."
910
00:38:00,027 --> 00:38:01,529
[audience laughing]
911
00:38:03,698 --> 00:38:04,865
[chuckles]
912
00:38:06,492 --> 00:38:09,412
The reason that's funny is 'cause bikers
are so intimidating, right?
913
00:38:09,495 --> 00:38:10,788
They're angry.
914
00:38:10,871 --> 00:38:14,375
Bikers seem angry,
and I think it's 'cause they're cold.
915
00:38:14,458 --> 00:38:15,626
[audience laughing]
916
00:38:15,710 --> 00:38:17,044
Right?
917
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:19,797
That vest with no shirt?
That's gotta be chilly.
918
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,007
[audience laughing]
919
00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:23,467
"Oh, I wish I had a shawl."
920
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:26,012
[audience laughing]
921
00:38:26,095 --> 00:38:28,180
"Shawl and my Uggs."
922
00:38:28,264 --> 00:38:29,765
[audience laughing]
923
00:38:29,849 --> 00:38:32,059
"Maybe a pumpkin spice latte."
924
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:33,978
[audience laughing]
925
00:38:34,061 --> 00:38:36,772
That vest with no shirt is so common
among bikers.
926
00:38:36,856 --> 00:38:38,607
Is there like peer pressure?
927
00:38:39,734 --> 00:38:41,527
"Look at Curtis over there,
928
00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:46,490
wearing a T-shirt under his vest
like a girl."
929
00:38:46,574 --> 00:38:48,492
[audience laughing]
930
00:38:48,576 --> 00:38:50,453
"Let's kick his ass."
931
00:38:50,536 --> 00:38:51,579
[audience laughing]
932
00:38:51,662 --> 00:38:53,205
"And then kiss him."
933
00:38:53,289 --> 00:38:56,292
[audience laughing]
934
00:38:58,711 --> 00:39:00,755
Occasionally, you'll see a biker
giving someone a ride
935
00:39:00,838 --> 00:39:03,049
on the back of their motorcycle,
it's usually a woman.
936
00:39:03,132 --> 00:39:05,176
Guys don't wanna ride on the back. Mm.
937
00:39:05,259 --> 00:39:07,803
It's hard to get a ride
on the back of a motorcycle
938
00:39:07,887 --> 00:39:10,473
without giving an extended intimate hug.
939
00:39:10,556 --> 00:39:11,766
[audience laughing]
940
00:39:11,849 --> 00:39:13,684
"Let's get out of here, Virgil."
941
00:39:13,768 --> 00:39:19,690
[audience laughing]
942
00:39:19,774 --> 00:39:21,525
"You smell wonderful, Virgil."
943
00:39:22,777 --> 00:39:24,195
"What is that, lilac?"
944
00:39:25,196 --> 00:39:26,489
[sighs]
945
00:39:26,572 --> 00:39:28,407
"You've been doing sit-ups, Virgil?"
946
00:39:28,491 --> 00:39:34,538
[audience laughing]
947
00:39:34,622 --> 00:39:38,125
During the summer, occasionally,
you'll see a bicyclist on the highway.
948
00:39:38,209 --> 00:39:39,543
See a cyclist on the highway,
949
00:39:39,627 --> 00:39:42,630
they're always dressed like
they're competing in the Tour de France.
950
00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:44,882
"You're losing!"
951
00:39:44,965 --> 00:39:46,258
[audience laughing]
952
00:39:46,342 --> 00:39:48,260
"And you're also gonna die."
953
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:53,140
Those bicyclists, they have to settle down
with the helmet design.
954
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:57,269
It's all super aerodynamic.
It's like, "You're not going that fast."
955
00:39:57,353 --> 00:39:58,938
[audience laughing]
956
00:39:59,021 --> 00:40:02,066
You're riding a bike.
You're not in the movie Tron.
957
00:40:02,149 --> 00:40:03,275
[audience laughing]
958
00:40:03,359 --> 00:40:06,487
And put on some clothes!
959
00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:07,780
What's with the spandex?
960
00:40:07,863 --> 00:40:10,408
Are you on your way
to wrestle Blue Man Group?
961
00:40:10,491 --> 00:40:11,325
[audience laughing]
962
00:40:11,409 --> 00:40:14,328
How many Blue Man references
you're gonna have?
963
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:15,788
[audience laughing]
964
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:18,457
You ever see a bicyclist on the highway
and they're not in spandex,
965
00:40:18,541 --> 00:40:20,418
they're just in regular clothes?
966
00:40:20,501 --> 00:40:22,169
They look like they have a DUI.
967
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:25,548
[audience laughing, applause]
968
00:40:25,631 --> 00:40:26,882
Should've Ubered.
969
00:40:26,966 --> 00:40:29,927
[audience laughing]
970
00:40:30,010 --> 00:40:31,220
[Jim chuckles]
971
00:40:31,303 --> 00:40:33,556
You never see a cyclist
giving someone a ride, right?
972
00:40:33,639 --> 00:40:35,141
There's no room.
973
00:40:35,224 --> 00:40:37,643
They're already sitting
on that door handle of a seat.
974
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:40,855
"I'm just gonna sit here for five hours."
975
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,315
"I don't know why I can't have children."
976
00:40:43,399 --> 00:40:44,984
[audience laughing]
977
00:40:45,067 --> 00:40:46,485
Right, I'm going after the cyclist.
978
00:40:46,569 --> 00:40:49,280
What are they gonna do?
Throw their baby bottle of water at me?
979
00:40:49,363 --> 00:40:50,239
[audience laughing]
980
00:40:50,322 --> 00:40:54,201
[grunts] "I'd chase you, but for no reason
at all, I'm wearing cleats."
981
00:40:54,285 --> 00:40:57,538
-[audience laughing]
-[imitates clanking sounds]
982
00:40:57,621 --> 00:41:01,000
[cheering and applauding]
983
00:41:05,045 --> 00:41:07,965
Are those cleats necessary?
984
00:41:08,048 --> 00:41:09,800
You're in a Starbucks.
985
00:41:09,884 --> 00:41:10,843
[imitates clanking]
986
00:41:10,926 --> 00:41:12,511
[audience laughing]
987
00:41:12,595 --> 00:41:14,638
"Do you have oat milk?" [whines]
988
00:41:14,722 --> 00:41:17,808
[audience laughing]
989
00:41:17,892 --> 00:41:21,687
I think it's interesting, people who ride
bicycles are called "cyclists,"
990
00:41:21,770 --> 00:41:25,274
but people who ride motorcycles
are called "bikers"?
991
00:41:25,357 --> 00:41:26,609
[laughter]
992
00:41:26,692 --> 00:41:30,112
You know, that's just the bikers
bullying the cyclists.
993
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:33,157
"Hey, we're gonna take the name 'biker.'
You can't use it."
994
00:41:33,741 --> 00:41:37,453
And the cyclist went, "Motorcycle
doesn't even have the word 'bike' in it."
995
00:41:37,536 --> 00:41:38,871
"We don't care."
996
00:41:38,954 --> 00:41:40,372
[audience laughing]
997
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:43,375
"Also, we're gonna dress like that guy
from the Village People."
998
00:41:43,459 --> 00:41:44,376
[audience laughing]
999
00:41:44,460 --> 00:41:46,879
Sun-glass guy's like,
"Well, we were gonna do that."
1000
00:41:46,962 --> 00:41:49,381
"No, you're gonna dress like
rhythmic gymnasts."
1001
00:41:49,465 --> 00:41:51,842
[audience laughing]
1002
00:41:51,926 --> 00:41:54,637
"Okay." [imitates clanking sounds]
1003
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:56,555
[audience laughing]
1004
00:41:57,973 --> 00:42:01,810
Bikers and cyclists both dress like
they're on their way to a costume party.
1005
00:42:01,894 --> 00:42:02,895
[audience laughing]
1006
00:42:02,978 --> 00:42:06,106
No other form of transportation
has a uniform.
1007
00:42:07,191 --> 00:42:10,236
You never see everyone on the cruise ship
dress like pirates
1008
00:42:11,153 --> 00:42:12,738
'cause it's not necessary.
1009
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,158
Bikers and cyclists, both on two wheels,
nothing in common.
1010
00:42:16,242 --> 00:42:18,077
It's like they're trying to be different.
1011
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,870
Even the placement of the handlebars…
1012
00:42:19,954 --> 00:42:21,705
Some cyclists
have handlebars in real tight,
1013
00:42:21,789 --> 00:42:23,791
some bikers have their handlebars
way up here.
1014
00:42:23,874 --> 00:42:25,251
"Oh, this is comfortable."
1015
00:42:25,334 --> 00:42:26,877
[audience laughing]
1016
00:42:26,961 --> 00:42:28,754
"This reminds me of my Big Wheel."
1017
00:42:28,837 --> 00:42:30,798
[audience laughing, applause]
1018
00:42:30,881 --> 00:42:33,384
"Now I know why I have
my wallet on a chain."
1019
00:42:35,678 --> 00:42:37,721
You never see a unicyclist on the highway.
1020
00:42:37,805 --> 00:42:38,681
[audience laughing]
1021
00:42:38,764 --> 00:42:40,391
You know why? 'Cause they're all dead.
1022
00:42:40,474 --> 00:42:41,809
[audience laughing]
1023
00:42:41,892 --> 00:42:43,936
'Cause I killed them. You're welcome.
1024
00:42:45,271 --> 00:42:48,607
Is there any bigger attention-grab
than riding a unicycle?
1025
00:42:49,441 --> 00:42:51,610
I guess a pogo stick, right? [grunts]
1026
00:42:51,694 --> 00:42:53,279
-[audience laughing]
-[Jim chuckles]
1027
00:42:54,238 --> 00:42:56,907
What was the pitch for the pogo stick?
[chuckles]
1028
00:42:56,991 --> 00:43:00,244
"It's a stick you can jump on twice
and then fall on your face."
1029
00:43:00,327 --> 00:43:02,580
[audience laughing]
1030
00:43:02,663 --> 00:43:05,541
"Interesting. If you practice,
do you get better?"
1031
00:43:05,624 --> 00:43:06,667
"Not at all, no."
1032
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,252
[audience laughing]
1033
00:43:08,335 --> 00:43:09,378
"I'll take one."
1034
00:43:09,461 --> 00:43:11,213
[audience laughing]
1035
00:43:11,297 --> 00:43:15,175
But unicyclists, they act like
they don't want the attention.
1036
00:43:15,259 --> 00:43:17,720
They always have that super casual look
on their face,
1037
00:43:17,803 --> 00:43:19,388
but their legs are so frantic.
1038
00:43:19,471 --> 00:43:20,514
They're always like…
1039
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:22,850
[audience laughing]
1040
00:43:22,933 --> 00:43:26,270
"Oh, hey, what's going on, everyone?"
[laughs]
1041
00:43:27,062 --> 00:43:28,522
"Oh, I'm not doing anything."
1042
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:29,690
[audience laughing]
1043
00:43:29,773 --> 00:43:32,234
"Does anyone have three bowling pins
I could juggle?"
1044
00:43:32,318 --> 00:43:33,360
[audience laughing]
1045
00:43:33,444 --> 00:43:35,821
"I could annoy you
with two unnecessary skills."
1046
00:43:35,904 --> 00:43:38,490
[audience laughing]
1047
00:43:38,574 --> 00:43:40,659
That joke takes way too much effort.
1048
00:43:40,743 --> 00:43:43,203
[audience laughing]
1049
00:43:43,287 --> 00:43:46,081
Oh, you may have noticed
that there's a piano on stage.
1050
00:43:46,749 --> 00:43:48,334
And, uh, some of you may be wondering,
1051
00:43:48,417 --> 00:43:52,630
"Hey, why would Jim Gaffigan
have a piano on stage?"
1052
00:43:52,713 --> 00:43:53,672
[audience cheering]
1053
00:43:53,756 --> 00:43:54,798
And…
1054
00:43:54,882 --> 00:43:57,092
[applause]
1055
00:43:58,886 --> 00:44:02,931
What you may not realize is that I…
1056
00:44:04,516 --> 00:44:05,809
do not play the piano.
1057
00:44:05,893 --> 00:44:07,686
[audience laughing]
1058
00:44:08,604 --> 00:44:09,980
"Jim, that was…"
1059
00:44:10,064 --> 00:44:13,108
"Really? Did he bring the piano
just for that joke?"
1060
00:44:13,192 --> 00:44:15,069
[audience laughing]
1061
00:44:15,152 --> 00:44:16,737
"That's pathetic."
1062
00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:18,906
[audience laughing]
1063
00:44:18,989 --> 00:44:21,367
Good-looking crowd here. Wow.
1064
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:23,494
-Very good-looking.
-[audience cheering, applause]
1065
00:44:23,577 --> 00:44:25,788
Very good-looking crowd, huh?
1066
00:44:27,414 --> 00:44:28,916
Well, not all of you, you know.
1067
00:44:28,999 --> 00:44:30,459
-Not all of you.
-[audience laughing]
1068
00:44:30,542 --> 00:44:33,921
But I'm not breaking any news, right?
We know where we stand.
1069
00:44:34,004 --> 00:44:35,130
[laughter]
1070
00:44:35,214 --> 00:44:38,092
Yeah, we learn from such an early age.
1071
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:41,553
Like, I remember kindergarten, the girls
would chase the cute boys at recess,
1072
00:44:41,637 --> 00:44:44,056
and let's just say I didn't do
a lot of running.
1073
00:44:44,139 --> 00:44:46,058
[laughter]
1074
00:44:46,141 --> 00:44:47,434
Or any running.
1075
00:44:48,102 --> 00:44:50,020
I remember being five years old and going,
1076
00:44:50,104 --> 00:44:52,022
"Oh, this is how it's gonna be."
1077
00:44:52,981 --> 00:44:55,651
"I'm gonna have to write some jokes."
1078
00:44:55,734 --> 00:44:56,985
[laughter]
1079
00:44:57,069 --> 00:45:00,614
"And I'll be hanging out with the fellas."
1080
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:02,658
I still hang out with the fellas.
1081
00:45:02,741 --> 00:45:04,827
All right, I had a friend
during the lockdown
1082
00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:08,122
who spent the entire time
planning a guys' weekend.
1083
00:45:08,205 --> 00:45:12,209
Every time I talk to him, he would make it
sound less appealing. [chuckles]
1084
00:45:12,292 --> 00:45:13,127
[laughter]
1085
00:45:13,210 --> 00:45:14,628
"Dude, this is what we're gonna do."
1086
00:45:14,712 --> 00:45:18,173
"We're gonna rent a cabin for the weekend.
Just guys, no women."
1087
00:45:19,466 --> 00:45:20,509
"I'm already out."
1088
00:45:20,592 --> 00:45:23,303
[audience laughing]
1089
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:26,598
"No, no, no. Think about it.
Just guys, no women."
1090
00:45:26,682 --> 00:45:29,518
"We'll smoke cigars,
play poker all weekend."
1091
00:45:29,601 --> 00:45:30,644
"Sounds horrible."
1092
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:31,979
[audience laughing]
1093
00:45:32,062 --> 00:45:33,480
"You're not thinking it through."
1094
00:45:33,564 --> 00:45:37,901
"Just guys, no women, for a whole weekend,
like we're in prison."
1095
00:45:37,985 --> 00:45:41,071
[audience laughing]
1096
00:45:41,155 --> 00:45:42,239
"I look forward to it."
1097
00:45:42,322 --> 00:45:44,032
[audience laughing]
1098
00:45:44,116 --> 00:45:48,245
Every year, my brother Mitch
goes on a golfing trip with 30 men.
1099
00:45:48,328 --> 00:45:50,038
Thirty men. They fly to Florida.
1100
00:45:50,122 --> 00:45:52,583
They rent three houses.
Ten men to a house.
1101
00:45:52,666 --> 00:45:55,002
They play golf in the morning,
they eat lunch together,
1102
00:45:55,085 --> 00:45:58,005
they play golf in the afternoon,
and then they go back to the houses,
1103
00:45:58,088 --> 00:45:59,840
I don't know, have sex with each other.
1104
00:45:59,923 --> 00:46:01,258
[audience laughing]
1105
00:46:01,341 --> 00:46:03,552
I don't know what they do.
It sounds horrible. [chuckles]
1106
00:46:03,635 --> 00:46:04,595
[audience laughing]
1107
00:46:04,678 --> 00:46:06,930
How much fellowship can you have?
1108
00:46:07,014 --> 00:46:09,224
[audience laughing]
1109
00:46:09,308 --> 00:46:12,019
My brother is not gay
and, obviously, I wouldn't care if he was.
1110
00:46:12,102 --> 00:46:16,732
But if he ever came out, he could be
like, "I gave you so many hints."
1111
00:46:16,815 --> 00:46:19,067
[audience laughing]
1112
00:46:19,151 --> 00:46:21,904
"I literally vacationed with 30 men."
1113
00:46:21,987 --> 00:46:23,489
[audience laughing]
1114
00:46:23,572 --> 00:46:25,991
"We rented out a cul-de-sac."
1115
00:46:26,074 --> 00:46:27,451
[audience laughing]
1116
00:46:27,534 --> 00:46:30,913
"We played with sticks and balls all day."
1117
00:46:30,996 --> 00:46:32,623
[audience laughing]
1118
00:46:32,706 --> 00:46:35,042
"How clear did I have to make it?"
1119
00:46:36,084 --> 00:46:39,922
I guess the point I'm trying to make
is golf makes people gay.
1120
00:46:40,005 --> 00:46:41,882
-[audience laughing]
-So…
1121
00:46:41,965 --> 00:46:45,677
-[audience applauding]
-[man boos]
1122
00:46:47,721 --> 00:46:49,473
So the next time a friend says,
1123
00:46:49,556 --> 00:46:53,393
"I'm going to play golf with the fellas,"
just be like, "Enjoy."
1124
00:46:53,477 --> 00:46:56,647
[audience laughing]
1125
00:46:56,730 --> 00:46:59,983
No, I prefer mixed company.
I do, you know.
1126
00:47:00,067 --> 00:47:01,944
There's a cliché that men are dumb
1127
00:47:02,027 --> 00:47:05,405
and I have enough male friends
to know that's based on some truth.
1128
00:47:05,489 --> 00:47:06,865
[audience laughing]
1129
00:47:06,949 --> 00:47:09,368
Every man in here has that friend
1130
00:47:09,451 --> 00:47:13,455
that they occasionally look at
and wonder how they hold down a job.
1131
00:47:13,539 --> 00:47:15,082
[audience laughing]
1132
00:47:15,165 --> 00:47:18,460
And if you don't think that about
a friend, that means you're the friend.
1133
00:47:18,544 --> 00:47:20,337
[laughter]
1134
00:47:20,420 --> 00:47:21,922
[applause]
1135
00:47:22,005 --> 00:47:23,090
Yeah.
1136
00:47:25,092 --> 00:47:28,387
My friend like that is Ricky.
He's a great guy.
1137
00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:30,722
Ricky and I, one time,
we went axe-throwing.
1138
00:47:30,806 --> 00:47:33,225
Don't know if you've done that.
Throw an axe, you drink a beer.
1139
00:47:33,308 --> 00:47:36,895
You try and forget
our democracy is in crisis and…
1140
00:47:37,563 --> 00:47:39,940
At one point,
Ricky turned to me and he goes,
1141
00:47:40,023 --> 00:47:44,027
"Hey, before axe-throwing,
what did they use axes for?"
1142
00:47:44,111 --> 00:47:49,199
[laughter]
1143
00:47:49,283 --> 00:47:50,367
"Uh…"
1144
00:47:51,118 --> 00:47:52,703
"Chopping wood?"
1145
00:47:53,328 --> 00:47:56,665
He's like, "Really?"
And I was like, "Don't talk anymore."
1146
00:47:56,748 --> 00:47:59,042
[laughter]
1147
00:47:59,126 --> 00:48:03,046
And like a good friend, I ran home,
turned it into a stand-up bit.
1148
00:48:04,506 --> 00:48:05,841
And I kind of forgot about it.
1149
00:48:05,924 --> 00:48:08,468
Then, like a month later, Ricky called me
out of the blue and goes,
1150
00:48:08,552 --> 00:48:09,970
"I did it. I did it."
1151
00:48:10,053 --> 00:48:13,348
"I built my own axe-throwing range
in my backyard."
1152
00:48:13,432 --> 00:48:14,766
Yeah, he's divorced.
1153
00:48:14,850 --> 00:48:17,269
-And…
-[laughter]
1154
00:48:17,352 --> 00:48:19,313
Then he immediately starts bragging.
1155
00:48:19,396 --> 00:48:23,358
He's like, "Yeah, now, I could throw
an axe 20 yards and hit a bullseye."
1156
00:48:23,442 --> 00:48:24,651
I'm like, "That's impressive."
1157
00:48:24,735 --> 00:48:27,237
"You know when that's
gonna come in handy? Never."
1158
00:48:27,321 --> 00:48:28,322
[laughter]
1159
00:48:28,405 --> 00:48:31,408
He'll be like, "Hey, you never know."
I'm like, "No, I do know."
1160
00:48:31,491 --> 00:48:33,702
-[laughter]
-[chuckles]
1161
00:48:33,785 --> 00:48:38,206
Even if someone broke in your house
and you happen to be holding an axe,
1162
00:48:39,291 --> 00:48:42,336
you're not gonna be able to say,
"Hey, can you come 10 feet closer?"
1163
00:48:42,419 --> 00:48:44,504
[laughter]
1164
00:48:48,008 --> 00:48:51,428
I like having women around
for many reasons,
1165
00:48:51,511 --> 00:48:55,140
not least of which is,
they're attractive and men are not.
1166
00:48:55,223 --> 00:48:56,266
[laughter]
1167
00:48:56,350 --> 00:48:57,601
You know?
1168
00:48:57,684 --> 00:49:01,271
Like when a guy's good-looking,
it's like a fluke of nature.
1169
00:49:02,064 --> 00:49:05,233
And you know what
all attractive men have in common?
1170
00:49:05,317 --> 00:49:07,527
They kind of look like women.
1171
00:49:07,611 --> 00:49:08,904
[laughter]
1172
00:49:08,987 --> 00:49:10,405
Right?
1173
00:49:10,489 --> 00:49:13,283
[applause]
1174
00:49:13,367 --> 00:49:16,870
That's the only way
straight guys can tell who's good-looking.
1175
00:49:16,954 --> 00:49:20,707
"Wow, he must be attractive.
He barely looks like a dude."
1176
00:49:20,791 --> 00:49:22,459
[laughter]
1177
00:49:24,878 --> 00:49:29,341
Women are attractive
and compared to men, they're very clean.
1178
00:49:29,424 --> 00:49:30,801
Men are gross.
1179
00:49:31,468 --> 00:49:34,638
And make very little effort
to not be gross.
1180
00:49:34,721 --> 00:49:37,891
Like, if aliens visited Earth,
they'll be so confused.
1181
00:49:37,975 --> 00:49:40,268
They'll be like,
"The attractive feminine gender is taking
1182
00:49:40,352 --> 00:49:44,398
an hour to get ready
and those hairy beasts are just ready?"
1183
00:49:44,481 --> 00:49:46,024
[laughter]
1184
00:49:46,108 --> 00:49:48,443
"No wonder this planet's always at war."
1185
00:49:49,361 --> 00:49:52,906
Men are gross
and as they get older, grosser.
1186
00:49:52,990 --> 00:49:54,408
[laughter]
1187
00:49:54,491 --> 00:49:56,368
When women get older,
they become more elegant.
1188
00:49:56,451 --> 00:49:59,538
As men get older,
they look like they're decomposing.
1189
00:49:59,621 --> 00:50:01,248
[laughter]
1190
00:50:01,331 --> 00:50:03,125
You ever seen an old guy
with the shirt off?
1191
00:50:03,208 --> 00:50:05,293
He looks like the first draft of a human.
1192
00:50:05,377 --> 00:50:06,920
[laughter]
1193
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:08,964
What is that, a Simpsons character?
1194
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,843
Because when men get older,
things stop working.
1195
00:50:12,926 --> 00:50:14,720
The synapses stop connecting.
1196
00:50:14,803 --> 00:50:17,764
Normally, brain's like, "Every month,
I'm gonna grow hair on this guy's head.
1197
00:50:17,848 --> 00:50:20,017
"Every month, I'm gonna grow hair
on this guy's head."
1198
00:50:20,100 --> 00:50:21,351
But one month, the brain's like,
1199
00:50:21,435 --> 00:50:25,022
"Every month, I'm gonna grow hair
everywhere but this guy's head."
1200
00:50:25,105 --> 00:50:27,524
[laughter]
1201
00:50:28,650 --> 00:50:30,694
I have hair growing in parts of my body…
1202
00:50:31,278 --> 00:50:32,446
I don't need.
1203
00:50:32,529 --> 00:50:33,739
[laughter]
1204
00:50:33,822 --> 00:50:37,325
Do you wanna know why older men
grow hair on weird parts of their body?
1205
00:50:37,409 --> 00:50:40,454
That's nature's way of saying,
"You're done."
1206
00:50:40,537 --> 00:50:42,914
[laughter]
1207
00:50:42,998 --> 00:50:46,168
"Stop mating or I'm going to turn you
into a throw rug."
1208
00:50:46,251 --> 00:50:48,170
[laughter]
1209
00:50:48,253 --> 00:50:51,590
I have some body hair,
not as bad as some men, which is a relief,
1210
00:50:51,673 --> 00:50:55,510
'cause as you can see,
I did not win the genetic lottery.
1211
00:50:55,594 --> 00:50:57,304
I am bald, blind and pale.
1212
00:50:57,387 --> 00:51:00,474
It wouldn't surprise me
if I woke up tomorrow with a tail.
1213
00:51:02,059 --> 00:51:03,810
"Have you seen the comic with the tail?"
1214
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:06,730
"He's very pale
and the tail even has a bald spot."
1215
00:51:06,813 --> 00:51:09,274
-[audience laughing]
-[Jim chuckles]
1216
00:51:09,357 --> 00:51:12,986
I saw a guy this summer at the pool,
he's probably 60, had his shirt off.
1217
00:51:13,070 --> 00:51:15,989
Not a lot of body hair. All body hair.
1218
00:51:16,615 --> 00:51:19,701
For a second, I thought they were
shooting a GEICO commercial.
1219
00:51:19,785 --> 00:51:21,203
[laughter]
1220
00:51:21,286 --> 00:51:22,120
This guy was--
1221
00:51:22,204 --> 00:51:25,832
He was so hairy I had to stop
my youngest son from trying to pet him.
1222
00:51:25,916 --> 00:51:27,292
[laughter]
1223
00:51:27,375 --> 00:51:29,377
"Let him smell your hand first, son."
1224
00:51:29,461 --> 00:51:31,088
[laughter]
1225
00:51:31,171 --> 00:51:34,257
This guy was hairy and he was walking
around the pool with the confidence
1226
00:51:34,341 --> 00:51:37,427
like he'd spent a lifetime dealing
with hairy situations.
1227
00:51:37,511 --> 00:51:38,637
[laughter]
1228
00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:40,889
No one said anything,
but everyone had the same thought:
1229
00:51:40,972 --> 00:51:43,016
"Please don't go in the pool."
1230
00:51:43,100 --> 00:51:44,726
[laughter]
1231
00:51:44,810 --> 00:51:47,562
"No one's prepared to see you shake dry."
1232
00:51:47,646 --> 00:51:51,733
[laughter]
1233
00:51:53,026 --> 00:51:54,945
And this man walked right by everyone,
1234
00:51:55,028 --> 00:51:57,447
and he sat down next
to an attractive woman.
1235
00:51:57,531 --> 00:51:58,573
And I was so impressed.
1236
00:51:58,657 --> 00:52:04,788
That woman could look beyond this man's
appearance and focus solely on his wallet.
1237
00:52:04,871 --> 00:52:06,373
[laughter]
1238
00:52:06,456 --> 00:52:08,333
[man] Whoo!
1239
00:52:09,334 --> 00:52:11,419
But we all wanna be good-looking, right?
1240
00:52:11,503 --> 00:52:13,713
We all wanna be chased
on the playground, right?
1241
00:52:13,797 --> 00:52:16,925
Some people go so far
as to get plastic surgery.
1242
00:52:17,008 --> 00:52:19,219
They're like,
"Oh, I don't wanna sound desperate,
1243
00:52:19,302 --> 00:52:21,221
but can you take a knife to my face?"
1244
00:52:21,304 --> 00:52:22,347
[laughter]
1245
00:52:22,430 --> 00:52:25,016
[screaming] "And make me pretty.
Just keep cutting!"
1246
00:52:25,100 --> 00:52:27,102
[laughter]
1247
00:52:28,395 --> 00:52:31,648
It's kind of amazing more of us
don't get plastic surgery
1248
00:52:31,731 --> 00:52:34,442
because we live in
a beauty-obsessed society, right?
1249
00:52:34,526 --> 00:52:36,528
There are studies.
There was a Harvard study,
1250
00:52:36,611 --> 00:52:40,615
that found that children believed
good-looking people are nicer.
1251
00:52:40,699 --> 00:52:43,451
That study also found
that children are stupid.
1252
00:52:43,535 --> 00:52:46,371
[laughter]
1253
00:52:46,454 --> 00:52:49,291
We definitely give good-looking people
the benefit of the doubt.
1254
00:52:49,374 --> 00:52:51,710
Like if a really attractive
person's quiet,
1255
00:52:51,793 --> 00:52:53,420
we think they're mysterious.
1256
00:52:53,503 --> 00:52:57,340
If a fat person is quiet, we assume
they're thinking about food.
1257
00:52:57,424 --> 00:52:58,925
[laughter]
1258
00:52:59,009 --> 00:53:01,344
And we are, we are,
but there's still a mystery.
1259
00:53:01,428 --> 00:53:03,263
You don't know what kind of food.
1260
00:53:03,346 --> 00:53:04,431
[laughter]
1261
00:53:04,514 --> 00:53:06,808
All right, it's cake. It's always cake.
1262
00:53:06,892 --> 00:53:09,311
But you don't know what kind.
All right, it's red velvet.
1263
00:53:09,394 --> 00:53:11,104
[laughter]
1264
00:53:11,188 --> 00:53:14,441
As a result, we just like being
around beautiful people.
1265
00:53:14,524 --> 00:53:15,734
You ever been out to eat
1266
00:53:15,817 --> 00:53:18,195
and you have a waiter or waitress
that's really attractive?
1267
00:53:18,278 --> 00:53:21,114
For a second, you're like,
"Wow, this is gonna be a good meal."
1268
00:53:21,198 --> 00:53:23,325
[laughter]
1269
00:53:23,408 --> 00:53:26,203
You ever have an ugly waiter,
you're like, "Should we leave?"
1270
00:53:26,286 --> 00:53:27,579
[laughter]
1271
00:53:27,662 --> 00:53:29,289
I think that's why buffets started.
1272
00:53:29,372 --> 00:53:31,625
"You know what, I'll get my own food.
Thank you."
1273
00:53:32,542 --> 00:53:35,629
"I don't need that mug near my entrée.
You know what I mean?"
1274
00:53:35,712 --> 00:53:36,755
[laughter]
1275
00:53:37,964 --> 00:53:39,466
"Jim, you're a monster."
1276
00:53:41,551 --> 00:53:45,013
We follow good-looking people
on social media, Instagram.
1277
00:53:45,096 --> 00:53:47,265
Beautiful people have
millions of followers
1278
00:53:47,349 --> 00:53:51,019
and we like their photos
and sometimes, we put a flame emoji.
1279
00:53:51,102 --> 00:53:53,730
It's totally socially acceptable.
[chuckles]
1280
00:53:53,813 --> 00:53:56,191
If you did that in real life,
you'd go to jail.
1281
00:53:56,274 --> 00:53:58,735
-[laughter]
-"Excuse me, sir, what are you doing?"
1282
00:53:58,818 --> 00:54:00,612
"I'm following that lady."
1283
00:54:00,695 --> 00:54:02,030
[laughter]
1284
00:54:02,113 --> 00:54:04,824
"Uh, Can I ask why?"
"I like to look at her."
1285
00:54:04,908 --> 00:54:06,243
[laughter]
1286
00:54:06,326 --> 00:54:08,495
"Can you give her this torch
I brought her?"
1287
00:54:08,578 --> 00:54:10,997
[laughter]
1288
00:54:11,081 --> 00:54:12,958
"And these prayer hands."
1289
00:54:13,041 --> 00:54:15,418
[laughter]
1290
00:54:15,502 --> 00:54:18,505
Everyone's got to settle down
with the prayer hands emoji.
1291
00:54:19,464 --> 00:54:21,925
The overuse is ridiculous. [chuckles]
1292
00:54:22,008 --> 00:54:24,302
Got a text from a friend,
"See you at dinner. Prayer hands."
1293
00:54:24,386 --> 00:54:26,429
[laughter]
1294
00:54:26,513 --> 00:54:29,766
"No. No prayer hands.
Are you not gonna make it?"
1295
00:54:29,849 --> 00:54:32,102
[laughter]
1296
00:54:32,185 --> 00:54:35,480
"What are you suggesting?
That we eat hands for dinner?"
1297
00:54:37,816 --> 00:54:39,317
My wife is very good-looking.
1298
00:54:39,401 --> 00:54:41,528
That's right, I'm part of a mixed couple.
1299
00:54:41,611 --> 00:54:43,154
[laughter]
1300
00:54:43,238 --> 00:54:44,656
It's not fair. She's good-looking,
1301
00:54:44,739 --> 00:54:47,075
she's smart, she's creative.
But you know what?
1302
00:54:47,158 --> 00:54:48,785
Horrible taste in men.
1303
00:54:48,868 --> 00:54:50,829
[laughter]
1304
00:54:50,912 --> 00:54:53,206
So it evens out. I'm happily married,
1305
00:54:53,290 --> 00:54:56,543
but I would say, once a week,
I catch my wife giving me a look, like,
1306
00:54:56,626 --> 00:54:58,378
"I'm gonna have to let you go."
1307
00:54:58,461 --> 00:55:00,171
[laughter]
1308
00:55:00,255 --> 00:55:03,216
'Cause I disappoint her constantly.
1309
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:04,509
I do things that annoy.
1310
00:55:04,592 --> 00:55:06,970
Like, here's something I do
that annoys my wife.
1311
00:55:07,053 --> 00:55:08,763
I use the bathroom.
1312
00:55:08,847 --> 00:55:10,724
[laughter]
1313
00:55:10,807 --> 00:55:13,059
I know. I shouldn't, right?
1314
00:55:13,977 --> 00:55:17,772
I get in trouble for not telling her
I'm gonna use the bathroom.
1315
00:55:18,565 --> 00:55:21,234
"You just disappeared. Where'd you go?"
1316
00:55:21,318 --> 00:55:23,486
[laughter]
1317
00:55:23,570 --> 00:55:25,697
"I didn't know I needed a hall pass."
1318
00:55:25,780 --> 00:55:27,365
[laughter]
1319
00:55:28,033 --> 00:55:31,703
I also get in trouble for telling her
I'm gonna use the bathroom.
1320
00:55:31,786 --> 00:55:33,538
"Uh, I'm gonna use the bathroom."
1321
00:55:33,621 --> 00:55:34,789
"Again?"
1322
00:55:34,873 --> 00:55:36,333
[continuous laughter]
1323
00:55:36,416 --> 00:55:38,585
"Are you okay?"
1324
00:55:39,544 --> 00:55:42,005
"How many times is that today?"
1325
00:55:42,630 --> 00:55:44,799
"You're disgusting."
1326
00:55:45,592 --> 00:55:47,594
"What do you do in there?"
1327
00:55:47,677 --> 00:55:48,928
"Mostly get away from you."
1328
00:55:49,012 --> 00:55:52,182
[laughter]
1329
00:55:52,265 --> 00:55:55,268
When my wife's annoyed with me,
she doesn't give me the silent treatment.
1330
00:55:55,352 --> 00:55:58,897
She'll just take too long
to answer a simple question.
1331
00:55:59,731 --> 00:56:02,442
She'll be standing a foot away,
looking at her phone and I'll be like,
1332
00:56:02,525 --> 00:56:05,278
"What time do we have to do that
school thing?" And she'll just be like…
1333
00:56:06,946 --> 00:56:13,787
[laughter]
1334
00:56:20,335 --> 00:56:22,504
[laughter]
1335
00:56:22,587 --> 00:56:25,673
-[sighs]
-[laughter]
1336
00:56:26,758 --> 00:56:28,343
"It's in the calendar."
1337
00:56:28,426 --> 00:56:29,844
[laughter]
1338
00:56:29,928 --> 00:56:35,016
[cheering, applauding]
1339
00:56:36,643 --> 00:56:39,854
I'll be like, "Uh, are you mad at me?"
1340
00:56:39,938 --> 00:56:45,443
[laughter]
1341
00:56:51,157 --> 00:56:53,827
-[sighs]
-[laughter]
1342
00:56:56,955 --> 00:56:57,997
"No."
1343
00:56:58,081 --> 00:57:00,500
[laughter]
1344
00:57:02,961 --> 00:57:03,962
[Jim chuckles]
1345
00:57:04,629 --> 00:57:08,341
Recently, we learned that this couple that
we're friends with are getting a divorce.
1346
00:57:08,425 --> 00:57:11,261
And not surprisingly,
my wife was very upset.
1347
00:57:11,344 --> 00:57:12,429
With me.
1348
00:57:12,512 --> 00:57:14,347
[laughter]
1349
00:57:14,431 --> 00:57:17,725
I wasn't surprised
'cause this wasn't the first time
1350
00:57:17,809 --> 00:57:21,020
something I had nothing to do with
was my fault.
1351
00:57:21,104 --> 00:57:22,397
[laughter]
1352
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,525
Trump's election, the Kavanaugh hearings,
that was my fault.
1353
00:57:26,401 --> 00:57:29,779
And I apologize 'cause
I unconsciously planned the whole thing.
1354
00:57:29,863 --> 00:57:30,780
[laughter]
1355
00:57:30,864 --> 00:57:34,534
Now, I would never describe my wife
as crazy, 'cause I like to be married.
1356
00:57:35,827 --> 00:57:37,704
But I do think it's interesting
1357
00:57:37,787 --> 00:57:41,624
that if a man calls another man crazy,
it's a compliment.
1358
00:57:41,708 --> 00:57:44,210
"Here's my buddy, Joey. He's crazy."
1359
00:57:44,294 --> 00:57:46,880
Joey's like, "Oh, you're just being nice."
1360
00:57:46,963 --> 00:57:48,256
[laughter]
1361
00:57:48,339 --> 00:57:51,092
But if I was like,
"This is my wife, Jeannie. She's crazy."
1362
00:57:51,176 --> 00:57:54,304
[laughter]
1363
00:57:54,387 --> 00:57:56,389
I even get nervous saying that.
1364
00:57:56,473 --> 00:57:59,309
[laughter]
1365
00:57:59,392 --> 00:58:01,269
[cheering, applauding]
1366
00:58:01,352 --> 00:58:02,395
[grunts]
1367
00:58:03,980 --> 00:58:06,816
She's back in New York,
but you never know. [chuckles]
1368
00:58:06,900 --> 00:58:07,942
[laughter]
1369
00:58:08,026 --> 00:58:09,569
'Cause if my wife was standing here
1370
00:58:09,652 --> 00:58:11,446
and I was like,
"This is my wife, she's crazy,"
1371
00:58:12,822 --> 00:58:13,781
I'd be dead.
1372
00:58:13,865 --> 00:58:15,074
[laughter]
1373
00:58:15,158 --> 00:58:16,451
And all of you would applaud.
1374
00:58:16,534 --> 00:58:19,037
You'd be like,
"Well, that was a teachable moment. Yeah."
1375
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:20,830
[laughter, applause]
1376
00:58:23,416 --> 00:58:24,959
"We learned something."
1377
00:58:25,043 --> 00:58:26,711
No, we're hanging in there.
1378
00:58:26,794 --> 00:58:29,172
By the way,
if at the start of the pandemic,
1379
00:58:29,255 --> 00:58:30,507
you were in a relationship
1380
00:58:30,590 --> 00:58:34,677
and you're still in that relationship,
you should get money, right?
1381
00:58:34,761 --> 00:58:35,637
[laughter]
1382
00:58:36,304 --> 00:58:37,388
Right?
1383
00:58:37,472 --> 00:58:39,265
[applause]
1384
00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:41,267
Because before the pandemic,
1385
00:58:41,351 --> 00:58:44,521
if you'd hear of a couple splitting up,
you were like, "Oh, no."
1386
00:58:44,604 --> 00:58:46,773
But during the pandemic,
when you'd hear of a break up,
1387
00:58:46,856 --> 00:58:48,733
you're like, "Oh, of course."
1388
00:58:48,816 --> 00:58:51,236
[laughter]
1389
00:58:51,319 --> 00:58:53,905
You felt for the couples
that stayed together.
1390
00:58:54,697 --> 00:58:56,991
"You're still together?
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that."
1391
00:58:57,075 --> 00:58:58,576
[laughter]
1392
00:58:58,660 --> 00:59:00,078
"Co-dependency, huh?"
1393
00:59:01,996 --> 00:59:04,916
'Cause it doesn't matter
how strong your relationship was.
1394
00:59:04,999 --> 00:59:07,335
At one point during the pandemic,
1395
00:59:07,418 --> 00:59:11,464
you looked at your partner and thought,
"I think I'd rather have the coronavirus."
1396
00:59:11,548 --> 00:59:14,175
[laughter]
1397
00:59:14,259 --> 00:59:17,345
I know that sounds horrible,
but it's true.
1398
00:59:17,428 --> 00:59:18,638
[laughter]
1399
00:59:18,721 --> 00:59:20,390
Everyone had that moment
where they're like,
1400
00:59:20,473 --> 00:59:22,600
"You know, how uncomfortable
is that ventilator?"
1401
00:59:22,684 --> 00:59:24,310
[laughter]
1402
00:59:24,394 --> 00:59:25,770
"I know I wouldn't be able to talk,
1403
00:59:25,853 --> 00:59:28,106
but does that mean
I wouldn't be able to hear her?"
1404
00:59:28,189 --> 00:59:29,857
[laughter]
1405
00:59:29,941 --> 00:59:32,485
"Do they have a ventilator
just for the ears?"
1406
00:59:32,569 --> 00:59:33,653
[laughter]
1407
00:59:33,736 --> 00:59:35,655
"Jim, you're a monster."
1408
00:59:37,574 --> 00:59:38,866
My wife's an amazing mother.
1409
00:59:38,950 --> 00:59:41,369
We have five children.
Can you believe that?
1410
00:59:41,452 --> 00:59:43,037
-Five children. Thank you.
-[cheering]
1411
00:59:44,163 --> 00:59:45,206
Thank you.
1412
00:59:45,290 --> 00:59:47,333
It is something I regret…
1413
00:59:47,417 --> 00:59:49,294
[laughter]
1414
00:59:49,377 --> 00:59:50,878
…'cause there's too many of them.
1415
00:59:51,546 --> 00:59:52,672
There's way too many.
1416
00:59:52,755 --> 00:59:55,842
Sometimes at dinner, I just pretend
I'm hosting a reality show…
1417
00:59:55,925 --> 00:59:56,759
[laughter]
1418
00:59:56,843 --> 00:59:59,470
…called So You Think
You're Going To College.
1419
00:59:59,554 --> 01:00:01,222
[laughter]
1420
01:00:01,306 --> 01:00:03,182
'Cause they all can't go.
1421
01:00:04,225 --> 01:00:06,769
They all can't go,
not if I'm getting that boat.
1422
01:00:06,853 --> 01:00:09,147
[laughter]
1423
01:00:09,230 --> 01:00:12,275
I'm kidding.
Obviously, I'm not getting the boat…
1424
01:00:12,358 --> 01:00:14,402
not until I get a motorcycle, you know.
1425
01:00:14,485 --> 01:00:15,570
[laughter]
1426
01:00:15,653 --> 01:00:17,572
My kids find me annoying.
1427
01:00:17,655 --> 01:00:19,949
All children find their parents annoying,
1428
01:00:20,033 --> 01:00:25,997
which is kind of ironic, given children
essentially ruined their parents' lives.
1429
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,416
-[laughter]
-Right? [chuckles]
1430
01:00:28,499 --> 01:00:30,627
Parents give their children their time,
1431
01:00:30,710 --> 01:00:32,462
their energy and their money,
1432
01:00:32,545 --> 01:00:36,257
and we repay our parents with resentment.
1433
01:00:36,341 --> 01:00:37,508
[laughter]
1434
01:00:37,592 --> 01:00:40,303
Have you ever seen an adult get
a phone call from one of their parents?
1435
01:00:40,386 --> 01:00:42,388
You'd think it was a debt collector.
1436
01:00:43,222 --> 01:00:44,974
"Ugh. It's my mom."
1437
01:00:45,058 --> 01:00:46,517
[laughter]
1438
01:00:46,601 --> 01:00:50,647
"Yeah, I know you took care of me
for a quarter of a century,
1439
01:00:50,730 --> 01:00:52,899
but now is not a good time."
1440
01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:57,904
[cheering, applauding]
1441
01:01:00,740 --> 01:01:04,243
"You know what wasn't a good time?
Giving up my dreams…
1442
01:01:04,327 --> 01:01:05,995
[laughter]
1443
01:01:06,079 --> 01:01:08,289
…so you could be
a general disappointment."
1444
01:01:08,373 --> 01:01:09,666
[laughter]
1445
01:01:09,749 --> 01:01:15,505
No, I would never suggest that children
are God's punishment for having sex.
1446
01:01:15,588 --> 01:01:16,964
[laughter]
1447
01:01:17,048 --> 01:01:18,758
But an argument could be made.
1448
01:01:18,841 --> 01:01:21,219
[laughter]
1449
01:01:21,302 --> 01:01:24,555
And he's up there,
"Oh, they're enjoying that way too much."
1450
01:01:25,223 --> 01:01:28,017
"How can I get them to pray tomorrow?"
1451
01:01:28,101 --> 01:01:29,352
[laughter]
1452
01:01:30,061 --> 01:01:33,189
I do love being a parent. It's the most
important thing I'll do in my life.
1453
01:01:33,272 --> 01:01:36,401
But it's an insane proposition.
1454
01:01:36,484 --> 01:01:38,236
You give your children everything.
1455
01:01:38,319 --> 01:01:41,280
You give them everything
and then just one day, they leave.
1456
01:01:41,364 --> 01:01:43,741
They're like,
"See you! Thanks for nothing."
1457
01:01:43,825 --> 01:01:47,537
[laughter]
1458
01:01:47,620 --> 01:01:49,997
"I'll let you know if I need help
with a mortgage."
1459
01:01:50,081 --> 01:01:52,792
[laughter]
1460
01:01:54,752 --> 01:01:56,295
Sometimes they don't leave, right?
1461
01:01:56,379 --> 01:01:59,048
They just stick around.
They turn into roommates.
1462
01:01:59,132 --> 01:02:00,007
[laughter]
1463
01:02:00,091 --> 01:02:01,342
Not going to happen in my house.
1464
01:02:01,426 --> 01:02:03,636
I already have a backpack
for each of them.
1465
01:02:04,178 --> 01:02:05,680
They've seen the bags, "What's that?"
1466
01:02:05,763 --> 01:02:08,474
I'm like, "When you turn 18,
that's your going-away present."
1467
01:02:08,558 --> 01:02:10,143
[laughter]
1468
01:02:10,226 --> 01:02:11,769
"Jim, you're a monster."
1469
01:02:12,395 --> 01:02:14,647
[chuckles] I try to be a good dad.
1470
01:02:14,731 --> 01:02:17,108
I feel like I make more of an effort
than my father.
1471
01:02:17,191 --> 01:02:20,194
My dad's generation,
they didn't have to do anything.
1472
01:02:21,028 --> 01:02:23,990
My dad never went
to a parent-teacher conference.
1473
01:02:24,615 --> 01:02:27,118
My dad didn't even know I went to school.
1474
01:02:27,201 --> 01:02:29,287
[laughter]
1475
01:02:29,370 --> 01:02:32,540
My father couldn't be bothered
to turn his head
1476
01:02:32,623 --> 01:02:34,709
if something was happening behind him.
1477
01:02:35,585 --> 01:02:37,420
[shouts]
"What the hell's going on back there?"
1478
01:02:37,503 --> 01:02:40,298
[laughter]
1479
01:02:40,381 --> 01:02:43,342
I don't know if he couldn't turn his head
1480
01:02:43,426 --> 01:02:45,344
or if it wasn't worth the effort.
1481
01:02:46,137 --> 01:02:47,972
[shouts]
"What the hell is going on back there?"
1482
01:02:48,055 --> 01:02:51,225
[stammers]
"Oh, we're celebrating my birthday."
1483
01:02:51,309 --> 01:02:53,102
[laughter]
1484
01:02:53,186 --> 01:02:56,230
"Oh, keep it down.
I'm watching Ironsides."
1485
01:02:56,898 --> 01:03:00,193
♪ Happy birthday ♪
1486
01:03:00,276 --> 01:03:02,779
♪ To you ♪
1487
01:03:04,864 --> 01:03:09,285
My children give me guilt trips
I wouldn't even contemplate.
1488
01:03:09,952 --> 01:03:12,538
Like my daughter was in a play
on Thursday and Friday,
1489
01:03:12,622 --> 01:03:14,624
so I went on Thursday night
and then Friday morning,
1490
01:03:14,707 --> 01:03:16,375
she saw me with my rolly bag
and was like,
1491
01:03:16,459 --> 01:03:19,170
"Oh, you're not coming
to my show tonight?"
1492
01:03:19,253 --> 01:03:22,131
I'm like, "You've never been
to one of my shows."
1493
01:03:22,215 --> 01:03:24,342
[laughter]
1494
01:03:24,425 --> 01:03:26,511
"I do 300 a year."
1495
01:03:26,594 --> 01:03:28,471
[laughter]
1496
01:03:29,055 --> 01:03:30,556
My big plan
1497
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:36,270
was to teach my children responsibility
by selling posters after one of my shows.
1498
01:03:36,354 --> 01:03:37,980
So I texted my teenage daughter. I'm like,
1499
01:03:38,064 --> 01:03:40,525
"Do you wanna sell posters
after my show? I'll pay you."
1500
01:03:40,608 --> 01:03:42,276
She texted back, "Great, sounds good."
1501
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:43,569
Then I texted my teenage son.
1502
01:03:43,653 --> 01:03:45,863
"Do you want to sell posters
after my show? I'll pay you."
1503
01:03:45,947 --> 01:03:48,574
He texted back, "No thanks.
I don't need the money."
1504
01:03:48,658 --> 01:03:51,994
[laughter]
1505
01:03:52,078 --> 01:03:54,038
He doesn't have any money.
1506
01:03:54,121 --> 01:03:55,456
[laughter]
1507
01:03:55,540 --> 01:03:57,166
He has my money.
1508
01:03:57,250 --> 01:03:58,709
[laughter]
1509
01:03:58,793 --> 01:04:01,003
I just texted back,
"You're out of the will."
1510
01:04:01,087 --> 01:04:02,588
[laughter]
1511
01:04:02,672 --> 01:04:04,549
I'm kidding. He was never in it.
1512
01:04:04,632 --> 01:04:07,301
-[audience laughing]
-[Jim chuckles]
1513
01:04:07,385 --> 01:04:09,345
If my father asked me to do something,
1514
01:04:09,428 --> 01:04:12,056
he wouldn't even stick around
for an answer.
1515
01:04:12,849 --> 01:04:15,393
"You wanna shovel the driveway?"
Then he'd just leave.
1516
01:04:15,476 --> 01:04:17,228
[laughter]
1517
01:04:17,311 --> 01:04:21,357
It was understood I was gonna shovel
the driveway or move out.
1518
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,359
[laughter]
1519
01:04:24,569 --> 01:04:26,279
I was kind of frightened of my dad.
1520
01:04:26,362 --> 01:04:31,534
My children treat me like some bank teller
they reluctantly have to deal with.
1521
01:04:31,617 --> 01:04:33,619
[laughter]
1522
01:04:33,703 --> 01:04:35,913
Once a week,
they just appear in front of me.
1523
01:04:35,997 --> 01:04:39,584
"Hmm… Mom said I could get a shark…
1524
01:04:39,667 --> 01:04:42,879
[laughter]
1525
01:04:42,962 --> 01:04:45,172
…so I guess I need your credit card."
1526
01:04:45,256 --> 01:04:47,466
[laughter]
1527
01:04:47,550 --> 01:04:51,262
I'm like, "What are you talking about?"
"He's yelling again, Mom!"
1528
01:04:51,345 --> 01:04:53,598
[laughter]
1529
01:04:56,517 --> 01:05:01,647
If my dad was in a room in the house,
I wouldn't go to that side of the house.
1530
01:05:01,731 --> 01:05:02,982
[laughter]
1531
01:05:03,065 --> 01:05:04,775
"I'll just pee outside."
1532
01:05:04,859 --> 01:05:05,985
[laughter]
1533
01:05:06,068 --> 01:05:09,822
And I had all these older siblings that
used to send me in there to ask questions.
1534
01:05:09,906 --> 01:05:11,699
"Go ask Dad if we can go to Dairy Queen."
1535
01:05:11,782 --> 01:05:13,242
"I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it."
1536
01:05:13,326 --> 01:05:14,744
"Go. You're too young to kill."
1537
01:05:14,827 --> 01:05:17,121
[laughter]
1538
01:05:17,204 --> 01:05:18,539
"Dad?"
"What the hell do you want?"
1539
01:05:18,623 --> 01:05:20,207
[stammers] "He said, no."
1540
01:05:20,291 --> 01:05:23,044
[laughter]
1541
01:05:26,505 --> 01:05:29,133
When I didn't have kids,
I didn't understand my dad at all.
1542
01:05:29,216 --> 01:05:32,553
By the way, if you don't have children,
none of this should make sense.
1543
01:05:32,637 --> 01:05:33,888
[laughter]
1544
01:05:33,971 --> 01:05:36,432
Or even the concept of a Saturday night.
1545
01:05:36,515 --> 01:05:39,810
When you don't have kids,
you're like, "Saturday!"
1546
01:05:39,894 --> 01:05:43,522
And when you're a parent, you're like,
"Who can we pay to come to this house…
1547
01:05:43,606 --> 01:05:46,317
[laughter, applauding]
1548
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,653
…and watch this child?"
1549
01:05:49,654 --> 01:05:53,741
-And your standards drop so dramatically.
-[laughter]
1550
01:05:53,824 --> 01:05:55,743
Initially, like, "They should have a PhD."
1551
01:05:55,826 --> 01:05:58,329
And then you're like,
"Well, how long were they in jail?"
1552
01:05:58,412 --> 01:05:59,956
[laughter]
1553
01:06:00,039 --> 01:06:02,333
"Murder? It wasn't children, right?"
1554
01:06:02,416 --> 01:06:03,960
[laughter]
1555
01:06:04,043 --> 01:06:05,962
"A Satanist? You'll fit right in."
1556
01:06:06,045 --> 01:06:07,296
[laughter]
1557
01:06:10,925 --> 01:06:14,971
Any parent will tell you that, like,
having children has enriched their lives.
1558
01:06:15,054 --> 01:06:17,556
It's exposed them to things
they never thought they'd do.
1559
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,518
Like kids just-- You end up doing things
you never thought you'd do.
1560
01:06:20,601 --> 01:06:22,728
Like for me, going outside.
1561
01:06:22,812 --> 01:06:24,271
[laughter]
1562
01:06:24,355 --> 01:06:27,984
You ever go outside with real little kids?
You don't even know what to do with them.
1563
01:06:28,067 --> 01:06:30,945
You're like,
"Well, I normally just drink out here."
1564
01:06:31,028 --> 01:06:33,447
[laughter]
1565
01:06:34,824 --> 01:06:36,909
"Who wants to play a game of nap?"
1566
01:06:36,993 --> 01:06:38,619
[laughter]
1567
01:06:40,496 --> 01:06:44,166
It's weird when your kids have
a friend that you're not a fan of.
1568
01:06:45,167 --> 01:06:48,295
"Oh, Tommy's coming over?
Well, I'll be leaving."
1569
01:06:48,379 --> 01:06:50,548
[laughter]
1570
01:06:50,631 --> 01:06:53,134
"You can text me when Tommy is gone…
1571
01:06:53,217 --> 01:06:54,343
[laughter]
1572
01:06:54,427 --> 01:06:55,845
…'cause he's immature."
1573
01:06:55,928 --> 01:06:58,014
[laughter]
1574
01:06:58,097 --> 01:07:00,975
I wasn't prepared
for all the activities kids have.
1575
01:07:01,058 --> 01:07:04,770
You pick up your kid and bring them
to an activity, then to another activity.
1576
01:07:04,854 --> 01:07:06,480
And if they don't have an activity,
1577
01:07:06,564 --> 01:07:08,983
you have to think of one,
or they'll smoke meth.
1578
01:07:09,066 --> 01:07:11,736
[laughter]
1579
01:07:11,819 --> 01:07:14,488
You're always looking
for an activity as a parent.
1580
01:07:14,572 --> 01:07:17,742
I took my kids
to Ripley's Believe It or Not.
1581
01:07:17,825 --> 01:07:20,870
I don't know if you've ever been
that desperate for something to do.
1582
01:07:20,953 --> 01:07:22,038
[laughter]
1583
01:07:22,121 --> 01:07:24,165
What can I tell you
about Ripley's Believe It or Not?
1584
01:07:24,248 --> 01:07:26,208
It's mostly not.
1585
01:07:26,292 --> 01:07:28,335
[laughter]
1586
01:07:28,419 --> 01:07:32,131
It's not interesting.
It's not even a lot of stuff.
1587
01:07:32,715 --> 01:07:36,093
It's like they just emptied out
some drifter's storage unit.
1588
01:07:36,177 --> 01:07:37,887
[laughter]
1589
01:07:37,970 --> 01:07:41,098
I do admire that business model, you know.
1590
01:07:41,182 --> 01:07:44,310
Most businesses attempt
to establish trust with the customer.
1591
01:07:44,393 --> 01:07:45,770
Not Ripley's.
1592
01:07:45,853 --> 01:07:48,731
Like, "Believe it… or not.
We don't care."
1593
01:07:48,814 --> 01:07:50,399
[laughter]
1594
01:07:50,483 --> 01:07:52,234
"We know you're not coming back."
1595
01:07:52,318 --> 01:07:54,612
[laughter]
1596
01:07:56,238 --> 01:07:58,616
I'm still getting used
to having teenagers.
1597
01:07:58,699 --> 01:08:02,328
Recently, my 17-year-old daughter
told me that she wants to be an actor,
1598
01:08:02,411 --> 01:08:04,955
which is so crazy
'cause when I was that age,
1599
01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:07,833
that movie
Dead Poets Society came out,
1600
01:08:07,917 --> 01:08:10,377
which is an amazing movie
with Robin Williams,
1601
01:08:10,461 --> 01:08:15,216
where he plays this teacher who inspires
these students to seize the day, right?
1602
01:08:15,299 --> 01:08:18,427
And one of the students wants
to be an actor.
1603
01:08:18,511 --> 01:08:22,014
And, you know, he joins the play
and he invites his dad to see the play
1604
01:08:22,098 --> 01:08:24,642
and after the play, he tells his dad
that he wants to be an actor.
1605
01:08:24,725 --> 01:08:27,978
Dad's like, "You're not gonna be an actor,
that's stupid. Waste of time and money…"
1606
01:08:28,062 --> 01:08:28,938
[grunts]
1607
01:08:29,021 --> 01:08:31,482
The kid's so distraught he kills himself,
1608
01:08:31,565 --> 01:08:34,902
and then the teacher gets fired
and all the kids stand on desks…
1609
01:08:36,112 --> 01:08:39,406
[laughter]
1610
01:08:39,490 --> 01:08:41,325
Anyway, it's a great movie.
1611
01:08:41,408 --> 01:08:42,618
[laughter]
1612
01:08:42,701 --> 01:08:47,331
No, now… now that I'm the parent
of a teenager,
1613
01:08:47,414 --> 01:08:52,628
I realized that dad
in Dead Poets Society was right.
1614
01:08:52,711 --> 01:08:54,797
[laughter]
1615
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:58,509
I'm kidding. I know the point
of the movie is, "Don't be a teacher."
1616
01:08:58,592 --> 01:09:00,761
[laughter]
1617
01:09:03,556 --> 01:09:05,975
My wife hates that joke so much.
1618
01:09:06,058 --> 01:09:07,476
[laughter]
1619
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,061
My kids, I don't know what they think.
1620
01:09:09,145 --> 01:09:11,564
I don't even think my kids know
what I do for a living.
1621
01:09:11,647 --> 01:09:12,565
[laughter]
1622
01:09:12,648 --> 01:09:16,485
Or I should say I didn't think
they knew what I did for a living
1623
01:09:16,569 --> 01:09:18,445
till last Halloween.
1624
01:09:18,529 --> 01:09:21,448
My 10-year-old, Michael, didn't know
what he wanted to be for Halloween,
1625
01:09:21,532 --> 01:09:23,117
which is a crisis.
1626
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,327
If you're a parent, you know this.
1627
01:09:25,411 --> 01:09:28,038
Then, like, two days before Halloween,
he ran up to me and he goes,
1628
01:09:28,122 --> 01:09:29,915
"I know what I'm gonna be for Halloween."
1629
01:09:29,999 --> 01:09:32,668
"I'm gonna be a stand-up comedian."
1630
01:09:33,252 --> 01:09:34,336
And I was so touched.
1631
01:09:34,420 --> 01:09:37,673
I was like, "Oh, my gosh, for Halloween,
you wanna be your dad."
1632
01:09:37,756 --> 01:09:40,676
And he goes,
"No, I wanna be John Mulaney."
1633
01:09:40,759 --> 01:09:42,219
[laughter]
1634
01:09:42,303 --> 01:09:45,890
Slap! Right across the face.
1635
01:09:45,973 --> 01:09:47,683
Thank you so much, you guys.
1636
01:09:47,766 --> 01:09:48,934
[audience cheering]
1637
01:09:49,018 --> 01:09:50,060
Appreciate it.
1638
01:09:50,144 --> 01:09:52,771
[audience cheering and applauding]
1639
01:09:52,855 --> 01:09:59,320

01:10:40,402 --> 01:10:43,072
