this is theodore l foursman but everyone

calls him teddy

look at that face

he's never been the most normal kid but

i like him anyway

his favorite hobby

making sun brewed iced tea

his favorite sport

speed walking

and when he laughs and drinks

beautiful things happen

i thought i knew everything about teddy

but that was before his parents went

away for a week and i uttered the eight

words that changed our friendship

forever

why don't you stay with me at my house

really you mean it sure that's what

friends are for we'll have a blast

excellent

good times roll

good times

you'd think so

[Music]

but how could i know that i was in for

the worst time of my life

[Music]

oh

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

teddy was staying at my house for a week

it seemed like no big deal we were pals

band mates we even had the same blood

type besides with teddy around i had the

perfect excuse to escape

family night

hey who wants to cut the cheese

not me

[Music]

it's a

it's a family bonding thing tonight's

american dairy night excellent day

now this is family fun the dairy way how

come pete gets out of this crud because

i have a guest

mr mrs wrigley i just want to thank you

for letting me stay here i've only been

here for three minutes and i'm having

the time in my life it's our pleasure

teddy

hey pete what do you say we do a little

speed walking night is young

uh speed walking

gee uh well why don't you stay here in a

few minutes your mom's gonna make some

curd

heel to toe heel to toe

brilliant scan pal brilliant what's

getting what scammed you k*ll me

maybe the speed walking had jiggled my

brain but i soon warmed up to the idea

of bonding with my new roommate

teddy i want to tell you a secret

i haven't told anyone this but

diane sensky

i'm thinking of asking her out

bold move big red bold move

yeah i know

she does this thing with her hair she

twists it in her fingers and

she

chooses

uh yeah excellente

the only thing is

every time i see her i kind of clam up

hey

i've been there pal and i'll be there

for you

what are you doing my very special soul

shake

here stick with me this time

[Music]

so

you have to say it

so

while teddy and i were bonding indoors

my brother was out bonding with mother

nature

you see mom had given pete permission to

sleep in the backyard while teddy slept

in his bed you okay son you need

anything

nope

everything i need is out here

everything wow

it'll be our little secret

now i'm not really sure what happened

next

it could have been the pollen count

or maybe he stared too long at all those

stars

but by the next morning

my brother p

had become brother nature

hey pete

you want the rest

i mark your cheese danish and all it

stands for i'm living off the land now

the air is so fresh here it's

so moist so alive

teddy

we're half a mile from your house it's

the same air i know but atmospherically

speaking

oh no what what is it giancinsky living

a clap

[Music]

[Music]

hi pete hey diane

i mean size eight

oh yeah i'm a i'm a size eight two

um in men's sizes of course

[Music]

um

i saw you at halftime last saturday at

the game ask her

hi teddy

ask her what

oh i'm sorry i didn't want to spoil the

moment

what moment we're waiting for the bus uh

right the bus

gotcha i'll just leave the two of you

alone

what was that about

oh just he no he knew that i wanted to

um

ask you out for friday night oh well

that'd be great

what wait did i say yes before you asked

me out

i mean you did ask me didn't you yeah

and you said yes

with teddy's help i had a date

i guess i was glad he was there for me

but the problem was over the next few

days teddy was everywhere

[Music]

this deodorant is amazing

it's like

having a pine forest in your armpit

smell it go ahead i'll pass but thanks

well don't thank me until you try it

it's super absorbent for those super

close moments

what are you doing

i'm personalizing your underpants this

way we'll know who's or who's it's a

crucial move when you both wear the same

brand

what you didn't know that

hello uh hey diane

hi it's pete

so uh what are you doing

hi

uh

i guess

nothing

what are you doing me just taking a bath

the water here is so excellent day

[Music]

deep in the forest i was finally free

alone

at peace

oh

it's you

i was hoping it was a squirrel

starving

sorry

pete

am i not a nice guy

is it bad to be angry at a friend

not if you really hate him

i don't hate teddy

he's my pal i think

but he's driving me crazy

i'll tell you one thing i'm going on a

date with diane and teddy's gonna be

nowhere near us you hear me

nowhere near us

i'll be out to jiffy pal okie dokie big

red

and so began

operation ditch teddy

[Music]

i had to cover all my tracks

so i used every trick i learned from

watching late night spy movies

[Music]

hey pete where have you been

yeah where have you been um i was uh

showering

cool sweater

we ordered the pizza and they gave us

pepperoni

there's as much saturated fat in one

slice of pepperoni as there isn't a two

pound cheese log

what you guys didn't know that

i think i'll leave you two alone

diane

wait

please

[Applause]

she's so moody

the pepperoni wasn't the only thing that

needed removing

teddy was a scab on my life

and i was gonna

pick him off

once upon a time i shared a bedroom with

my brother and teddy forsman was just

this kid i knew

now

pete had turned into a hunter gatherer

stalking wild game for his supper

[Music]

as for teddy forsman well he had glommed

onto my life like a bad case of fungus

and the only way to get the fungus off

was to give it to someone else

the logical choice

dad teddy the carburetor is the heart of

the engine and today you and i are heart

surgeons now the first thing i'm going

to show you how to do disconnect the

tubular coil i already did

oh yes

you did didn't you

oh well then

let's move on to the water valve you

mean oil valve

water oil

water

and i'll prove it to you

see

a pinging noise usually means alternator

trouble if it's more of a recur recur

sound i'd say camshaft if it's more of a

freak break sound i'd say the fan belt

well you didn't know that

i'll tell you what why don't you just

stand right there and tell me what the

problem is i'm all ears

[Applause]

[Music]

it's definitely the fan belt

once planned dad tanked i quickly

switched to plan mom

i figured it was foolproof

and it was

for a while it's like i always say

can't spell gladiola

felt glad

unfortunately teddy was so grateful for

the gardening tips that he wrote mom a

10 page thank you note

and he left it in the one place he knew

she'd find it

attached to the metal plate in her head

[Music]

but the giant magnet ended up

magnetizing her metal plate

finally that left my brother pete

who needed all the help he could get

catching dinner

for centuries tribal hunters have been

using this method to catch squirrels

it's perfect

primitive yet effective

in a word

excellency

i'm gonna do this my way

[Music]

it's called a hole

what you didn't know that

by then there was one thing everybody

knew

we had to get theodore l forsman out of

our lives

[Music]

sorry fruit cup

[Music]

pete

fyi the iroquois tribe of central new

york ate their corn vertically too

they also called their corn maze

probably because it tasted amazing

[Music]

this corn is tricky and stubborn i need

to floss i'll tell some more jokes when

i get back
