[announcer] Please welcome your host,
Amy Schumer.
[cheers, applause]
Thank you, wow!
Thank you so much!
I deserve this, I do. Totally.
Please, sit. Please!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Well, if we didn't have COVID yet,
we've got it now.
What a way to go.
I have not had COVID yet.
Who else?
Clap if you haven't had COVID yet.
I love how smug everybody...
Yeah!
And the other people just
look at you like, "f*ck you."
But no, sorry, we haven't had it yet,
you guys. We're sorry...
I guess God chooses he who protects.
No. We're going to get it.
We're going to get it tonight.
So, um...
I don't know if you know this,
but I had a baby.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you. Not bad for a year, right?
Not bad?
It's been three...
it's been three years.
I still haven't made a baby book
for my son.
My mom's really trying to get me to make
a baby book. I just can't do it.
She kept, like,
serious baby books on all of us.
But if you think about a baby book,
it's really just, like,
a lot of teeth, and hair,
and fingerprints.
It's really a serial k*ller's log.
She wrote one milestone down for me
that I just saw recently.
I couldn't believe it,
that she thought this was good.
It was, "At 24 months, Amy can now watch
up to three hours of television."
This is a milestone she felt
she was proud of.
My son reaches that milestone daily,
so don't worry about it.
People are like, "How much screen time?"
I'm like "All screen time. Always."
My mom makes scrapbooks for me,
which people hear and they go, "Aw."
But she puts
every single thing in there.
Things that I have tried to avoid.
It'll be some tabloid like,
"Amy Schumer: Pregnant, or Just Fat?"
in the book.
I'm like, "Did you think
I needed to remember this?" You know?
Our son, his name is Gene.
Yeah, he's a little cutie.
He was named Gene
for my husband's mother,
Jean, was her name.
She passed away, which is so sad...
but to not have a mother-in-law?
I'm sorry!
I obviously did something right
in a former life, I'm sorry!
So his first name's Gene,
and then we named him
Attell for his middle name,
after Dave Attell,
the incredible comedian.
Yes. He's an old family friend of mine.
And then my husband's
last name is Fischer.
Which is also why I'll never take
his last name,
because I don't want to be Amy Fischer.
Who, some of you my age know,
was the Long Island Lolita
who tried to k*ll her boyfriend's wife.
So anyway!
So anyway, we name our son,
and then,
about a month into being a new mom,
not a vulnerable time at all,
I realize that
we have named our son
Gene Attell.
Genital.
Genital Fissure...
Anyone else ever f*ck up to that extent?
Probably not.
Probably not.
So we immediately changed
his middle name.
I hope it's better. We changed it
to "Dingleberry." Is that good?
Will that do well in school?
My son just saw my lower back tattoo
for the first time.
That's a fun conversation, right?
He's like, "What is that?"
And I just explained to him
"Your mom is trash."
Okay, okay.
I try so hard. Like, you try so hard to
be a good parent, and it's just...
You don't get better at being a parent.
You just get so used to f*cking up.
Right? That's really what it is.
It's just like, you get used to it.
He's been-- I've been showing him
Disney movies, that's been a lot of fun.
Except they're all so problematic.
If any of you have kids and you watch
Disney movies with them,
before every Disney movie now,
it just says,
uh, it says,
"Look, we f*cked up, okay?"
It says, "We f*cked up then,
and now, and we're sorry,
and we're going to just leave this here,
but it's f*cked up."
And it's true.
And I'm like, "What are they talking
about? It's Peter Pan," you know?
So we start Peter Pan.
All the indigenous people,
they show... "Oh-wo-wo". Awful.
So f*cked up. I'm like,
"This isn't good. What else?"
All the women in these movies--
in Peter Pan,
it's just these mermaids.
Remember the mermaids?
They're all topless, but long hair.
They all speak in a whisper.
They're all, "Oh, Peter.
We miss you so much, Peter.
Oh, we're so wet. We're mermaids!"
I'm like, "You can't watch this!"
Don't even try
to watch Jungle Book, okay?
So I'm like, "Let's scrub forward,
let's see some of the newer ones,"
I heard Tangled was cute,
so we watched Tangled.
And it's about Rapunzel, you know,
long blonde hair Rapunzel.
And spoiler alert: in this movie,
if you cut Rapunzel's hair,
something horrible happens.
It turns brown!
And that happens!
Her hair gets cut,
and then she has short, brown hair!
She's revolting!
But even though she's hideous,
the prince still finds a way to love her.
Isn't that beautiful?
That's what I want my son
to grow up with.
I have such a bad habit right now
when I read him books,
which I do, because I'm a hero.
Anytime there's like an even vaguely
blonde attractive woman in any book,
I'm like, "Who does that look like?"
Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears,
and I'm like, "Goldilocks, who...?
Remind you of anyone?"
He's like, "Mommy!"
I'm like, "Oh, my God, thank you!"
Then he sees a bear,
he's like "Mommy!"
I'm like, "Only when prompted, okay?"
All right, you guys
are such a great crowd,
we're going to have
such a fun night together.
[cheers, applause]
This is really an incredible line-up
of some of my best friends
and my favorite comedians,
and we're all here
to vent about our families,
so we're really happy
that you're here to do that with us.
So to kick us off, ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Ron Funches!
[cheers, applause]
Hi!
Hi!
Thank you!
What a fun show, we get to talk
about families? I f*cking love families.
Oh, I'm doing real well.
My family life's going well.
I just had my year anniversary
with my wife, which is wonderful.
Yeah.
It's the second marriage,
so I feel like this one's going to stick.
I recommend,
if you're in your first marriage,
just get that one out of the way.
You're not even in your final form yet.
After my first marriage, I was a little
bit worried I'd be damaged goods
and people wouldn't want me,
but it's kind of the opposite, you know?
I knew more about myself,
I knew what I liked, what I didn't like.
I know how good my marriage is now
because I could base it off
of how shitty my first marriage was.
And I'm not one of those comics
that like to talk sh*t about their ex,
it's just that we were married too young.
We didn't really trust each other,
didn't respect each other.
She kept trying--
I was a little bit bigger then,
and she kept trying
to dress me in clothes
with, like, giant dogs
on them all the time.
Or just a lot of bright floral patterns
and khaki shorts.
Just trying to make me look
like a Black Gabriel Iglesias.
Basically just keeping me real unfuckable.
But my wife now,
she wants me to be cute!
Before I leave the house,
she checks the hair.
She makes sure I'm suited and booted.
She wants people to want to f*ck me!
That's a good marriage!
Thank you!
I didn't know a marriage
could be fun like that!
I thought it had to be a constant fight,
constant struggle.
I didn't know marriage
could just be hanging out,
laughing together,
watching Seinfeld all day,
until you get your d*ck sucked.
When you boil marriage down to that one
sentence, I mean, oh, my God,
it is beautiful.
Especially if you understand how often
I've watched Seinfeld all day...
without getting my d*ck sucked.
But no longer.
Uh-uh. Now I get excited
as soon as I hear the theme song.
Yeah, as soon as I hear that,
"Bom-buh-bom-bom-bom"
I'm like, "Ooh, I better
go get her scrunchie!"
A lot of you related
to that scrunchie material.
You got to be considerate.
My wife is a very considerate person,
that's how we fell in love.
Before we met, I had already been married
before, I had my son already.
And I was like,
"This is going to be my focus."
But she came into my life
and she was such a nice person.
She kept asking me the same question
over and over and over,
until she wormed her way into my heart.
And I'm going to let you know
what she asked me
in case you need to trap a man.
My wife kept asking me...
if I was drinking enough water.
And I was like,
"We both know the answer is no."
I think the real question here is,
"Why the f*ck do you care?"
But it was because she cared about me!
She cared about my well-being.
And that was off-putting to me,
I didn't like that at first.
I was used to these Los Angeles
vampire b*tches.
But she just kept at it.
I'd go up to take her on a date,
I'd pick her up at her house,
ring the doorbell,
she'd answer the door, and you know what
she would have waiting for me?
A bottle of water!
If I was lucky enough to get her back
to my house and spend the night,
I'd wake up in the morning, turn over,
she'd already be gone.
But do you know what would be laying
in her place?
Bottle of water!
One day it just got to me,
and I was like, "Aw...
no bitch ever cared about my hydration!"
After my first marriage, I didn't drink
water for five years straight.
Nobody said a word.
And I was walking around with
adult-onset jaundice, it was terrible.
One thing I love about my wife is she came
in right away, was a great stepmom.
Again, I'm a single father
for most of my life.
I have a son who was diagnosed
with autism when he was two years old.
We went through a lot of therapy,
seizures, different issues,
and I'm very proud that he's now
a 19-year-old
high school graduate.
[cheers, applause]
Working at a grocery store.
I worked at a grocery store when I was 19,
a little bit before I had him.
So I'm like, "As long as you don't knock
somebody up in the next six months,
you're k*lling it!"
He's got great discipline,
and I don't know where he got it.
Because I never disciplined him.
I didn't know how,
especially having a teenager
and someone who had autism.
I didn't know what to do, I didn't know
what was teenager-related,
I didn't know what was autism-related.
I didn't know which of these things
made him download sixty episodes
of The Price Is Right.
But I know that's not normal.
The Price Is Right is a fine show,
but it is the same damn show every day!
I'm like, "Son, did you need to fill
the entire DVR with Price Is Right?"
He's like, "Oh, I'm just trying
to keep season stats, Dad."
I'm like, "Okay, so it's the autism."
Carry on.
I love watching him become an adult,
have his own likes and dislikes.
My favorite thing in the world is I share
a Spotify account with my son.
And at the end of the year, I get that
"Spotify Wrapped" and I love it.
Because I get to find out what
an autistic teenager thinks
is the hottest song of the year.
It turns out my son's favorite song
of all of last year--
this is an honest to God fact--
was just the sound effect...
of bees...
buzzing in a meadow.
No!
Yeah, it's cute when
you don't live with it.
But try coming home
to that every day.
You can't even do normal parent stuff.
You can't be like,
"Hey! Can you turn down this...
delightful summer's day?"
He's just like, "Dad, you don't understand
the music that speaks to my generation!
You need to open your mind!
It's got a good buzz to it."
Thank you guys for your time,
I'm Ron Funches.
[cheers, applause]
-Hi, Amy!
-Hi, Ron!
-Bye!
-Good job! Bye!
How funny is Ron Funches?
You're such a good crowd.
Alright, please keep that energy going.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Ms. Jaye McBride!
[cheers, applause]
Alright! Thank you so much.
Man, it is great to be out
without a mask on.
Right?
Alright.
I actually had a guy refuse to have sex
with me unless I wore a mask.
I know, and this is
way before the pandemic.
It wasn't even a medical mask,
it was like a Spider-Man mask.
He's like, "I got you now, Web Slinger!"
Which...
Well, you take what you can get, right?
I have a tough time dating.
Y'all know I'm trans, right?
Y'all figure that out already,
you bunch of...?
Look at you, you bunch of L.A. detectives.
Y'all are like, "Of course I know.
I'm from Kansas,
not from Mars, I can tell."
The weird thing is, I wasn't trans
before I got the vaccine.
f*cking Johnson & Johnson,
I swear to God.
One sh*t, my ass.
No, I actually transitioned 15 years ago,
which, oh, no, thank you, but...
No, don't clap, don't clap.
I only did it to compete in the Olympics.
I'm no hero.
But man. And I knew early on,
like I knew real early,
when I was like, five,
we took the dog to the vet to get fixed,
and I was in the back yelling,
"Do me next!"
I was raised Irish Catholic too,
which made it tough.
I know, right?
Like here's how Irish Catholic I am.
My grandmother had ten kids.
Yeah, ten.
That's a good Irish Catholic woman, right?
And she had two miscarriages,
so she was pregnant 12 times in 16 years.
I know, right?
She didn't have periods,
she had commas.
Yeah, my grandmother was old-school.
Yeah.
Like, she was like...
She also told me once
that she didn't believe in gay people.
Like, that's what she said,
"I don't believe in gay people."
Which is weird because she did believe
in angels, leprechauns, and Sasquatch.
I have an uncle who's a priest.
Yeah, he said to me once, he said,
"I don't ever want to watch you do comedy
because I don't want to listen
to you talk about having sex with a man."
So I just send him pictures.
[cheers, applause]
That wasn't his reaction.
No, people always say,
"If you were raised more religiously,
you would have turned out normal."
I'm like, "Honey, I was an altar boy.
And I loved it!"
Oh, no, the priest never touched me,
or hit on me, or molested me.
And I tried everything, too.
I was like, "Father, this confessional
is too hot for pants!"
My dad thought that being an altar boy
would turn me into a man,
but apparently sitting around in a dress
drinking wine all day didn't do the job!
Yeah, my dad wasn't a fan
of this whole thing.
I remember when I was little, I was like,
"Dad, what do you call a little boy
who wants to be a little girl?"
He said, "I don't know, but they're
definitely not getting any ice cream!"
Terrible, right?
Don't worry, he dies in the end.
Wow, some of you either love dark humor
or you hate your dad. I don't know.
My dad d*ed around Christmas time,
which was tough.
I didn't know what to ask for because
I already got what I wanted!
So I'm in therapy.
Alright, thank you, I guess.
No, I'm in therapy.
I've really been talking to my therapist
a lot about my mom.
My mom passed away and--
I know, you're like,
"Aw, dead mom, dead dad.
What next, Little Orphan tr*nny?"
We are talking about my mom a lot.
Like, my mom was great.
My therapist said I should talk
to my mom every day, you know,
which seems a little... crazy,
so I just talk
to the mannequin in the attic
I dressed up in her clothes.
But she was great.
My mom was great.
She was like this Martha Stewart-type,
you know?
A convicted felon who could cook.
And when I first came out to her as trans,
it sort of took her a while.
She said she had to pray to God
after I told her.
Which makes sense, because if you're
a middle-aged white woman
and you don't like something,
you talk to the manager.
Hit a little close to home, huh, L.A.?
No, I still try to please my mom.
After she passed away, I thought,
I'm going to do something nice.
So I decided I was going to spread
her remains in her favorite place:
the town I grew up in,
it's a town called Westport, New York.
It's in the Adirondack Mountains,
it's on Lake Champlain.
Don't clap, you're not from there.
But it's beautiful. I drive six hours
and start to spread her remains.
Someone comes running out and says,
"Stop, you can't do that!"
And I'm like, "Why not?"
He said, "You have to cremate her first."
So then I had to put her
back in the garbage bag.
So she's at her second favorite place.
Behind an Arby's.
That's why I'm late tonight, and...
I have three brothers.
It was weird with three brothers,
like our parents were kind of cheap,
so when they ran the bath water,
they did it once.
And we all had to share,
one right after another, right?
Oh, it's the worst.
If you're the last one,
it's like the Hudson River at low tide.
And I'm in there,
and I'm looking down one day,
and I'm thinking,
"This is disgusting.
I'm 32 years old..."
I did have a brother disown me
when he found out I was trans,
but it's fine.
I try to take the high road, you know?
When I heard he and his wife had a child,
I sent the nicest greeting card.
It said, "Congratulations, it's a boy...
for now!"
Thank you guys so much.
[cheers, applause]
Jaye McBride, let her hear it!
Alright!
I don't know if you guys are
familiar with the Oscars,
but I just... Yeah, I got to co-host
the Oscars this year.
Yes. And...
You know, we all saw
that sad thing that happened.
Jessica Chastain won.
No, it was really sad, the Will Smith
thing where he hit Chris Rock.
It was a total bummer, shocking,
but you know, I guess it's like,
he got in one little fight
and his mom got scared,
I don't know. I don't know!
I got censored that night.
There were a couple things
that I wasn't allowed to say.
So I think I'll tell you guys right now.
[audience cheers]
Yeah, you guys seem like bad people.
Okay.
I don't know why they said no.
So my husband
was going down on me,
or as he calls it, "Squid Game."
So...
he's in my Nightmare Alley...
my House of Gucci.
And I say, "C'mon, C'mon,"
you know?
He goes "tick, tick... BOOM!"
He "Bells fast,"
I say, "Get off my Dune,"
and that's how our son was born.
What do you think?
[cheers, applause]
Alright, let's keep it moving right along.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Christina P!
[cheers, applause]
Oh!
Hello, Los Angeles.
Woohoo!
Oh, man, I moved to Texas.
I was in Angelino for 44 years,
I'm sorry, I know.
I feel guilty being here.
I feel like a divorced dad...
that's come back to visit their kid.
I'm like, "Listen, I love your mom,
but I had to go, okay?"
You don't understand, man,
they were wearing N-95s
in their cars alone and sh*t,
It was really f*cking...
But yeah, so...
You know, I'm a... I'm a solidly
middle-aged mom now.
Yeah, thank you.
And like, everything makes me fat.
Everything.
And I live in Texas, so the only thing
I can eat with no calories
is Klonopin.
And I love it, I just dip it
in barbecue sauce! [smacks lips]
And I like the South,
they're very nice, they're very cool,
but everything moves at a glacial pace.
They have zero sense of urgency.
And then I realized, I was like,
"Well, what am I hurrying to?
There's nothing to do."
What, am I hurrying to get
to Chick-fil-A before it closes on Sunday?
You guys know why Chick-fil-A
is closed on Sunday, right?
Because...
Well, that's the day they grind up
all the gay people to make...
the batter for the biscuits.
They're so good! Ha ha!
And they take h*m* semen,
and that's what that orange sauce...
Delicious.
The Christians are on this side,
they're not...
Alright.
Okay, so, I've been married for 17 years,
and oh, thank you.
And he still pees on me in the shower,
so that's... cool.
And he does this super creepy thing where
he likes to make eye contact with me
while he does it.
And he pretends
like he doesn't know what's happening.
He'll stare at me, and he'll be like,
"Do you smell that?
Do you smell that?
Smells bad.
Can you smell that?"
I'm like "No, I just had COVID."
COVID blessings.
So, I have a three-year-old boy,
and a six-year-old boy,
and a husband,
so I see more dicks than an
episode of Euphoria on any given day.
Don't you love Euphoria?
That's such a middle-aged mom show.
I know.
Euphoria is Cobra Kai with titties.
It is the best.
So people are always telling me,
they're like, "You know, Christina,
those kids, they grow up so fast."
I'm like, "Do they?
What are you feeding yours? Because
I would like to speed this sh*t up."
Okay?
And it's not the kids that bum me out,
it's the parenting world.
Because there's way too many demands
on parents.
Like now, I got to dress my children in
organic cotton gender-neutral clothing.
I have to find them inclusive,
non-ableist toys.
And you got to breastfeed until
they're in college, did you know that?
Oh, yeah. There was a woman
in my "Mommy and Me" class
breastfeeding her four-year-old.
I'm sorry, 208-week-old, yes?
Will McKenzie be weaned
in time for prom?
My parents didn't do sh*t.
Right? Parents before
never had to do anything.
My parents didn't even put
a seatbelt on me in the car.
I used to ride in the back
of my dad's pick-up truck...
in a lawn chair,
and then I would hang out
trying to tag street signs.
And then when the cops pulled you over,
he'd let you play with his g*n.
But today, oh, my God, the parents,
they're all freaked out.
You ever see these helicopter moms?
These helicopter moms? Yeah.
So, I go to the park,
and that's "me time," you know?
I have a beer, I chill out.
You just let them run,
that's what the park is for!
-[man] Yeah!
-Right.
Then I see these poor
helicopter moms, and look, I get it.
I was like that after my first kid.
You ever see that mom
that's trying to do it right?
You're just trying to do it right,
and she's narrating everything
the kid is doing, as they're doing it.
"Okay. Good job, Cooper!
Good job, Cooper!
Yeah, Cooper,
now put your foot on the ladder, Cooper.
Good job!
Put your foot on the ladder, Cooper,
now run across, Cooper,
run across, Cooper, run across, Cooper,
good job, Cooper, good job, Cooper!
Would you like a snack, Cooper?
Cooper, snack? Snack? Cooper, Cooper?
How about a cheese stick?
How about a cheese stick?
Water? Water? Water?
Cooper? Cooper?
Snack? Snack? Snack? Snack?"
Oh! Oh!
Oh, until finally, little Cooper couldn't
take it anymore, and he goes,
"I need space!"
I almost high-fived that kid, I was like,
"Look at you, asserting boundaries
with your mother!
That took me ten years in psychotherapy!
You just figured that out?"
And stop telling kids to be themselves.
Jesus Christ.
Stop telling kids to be themselves.
They already know how.
They know how.
Just ask my sons.
They're probably naked right now
on the driveway,
wearing nothing but cowboy boots.
And the other day, my son runs up to me,
the older one, the six-year-old,
he runs up to me naked, and he goes,
"Hey, Mom, hey, Mom!
You want a surprise?"
And then he turned
around and he farted right at me.
Timing was impeccable.
The three-year-old sees that,
and does the exact same thing:
"Hey, Mom! Mom! Mom! You want to see a...
Do you want to see a surprise?"
Turns around, spreads his cheeks apart,
and goes, "Smell my ass!
Smell it!"
Yeah, I'd say you have a pretty good idea
of who you are
when you aim
your assh*le at somebody, right?
And stop telling me that gender
isn't real. Stop it, stop it.
Stop telling me that
"gender is a social construct."
People who say that
have not raised boys.
Oh, girls and boys are the same?
Oh, really? Really!
You've seen a six-year-old girl
piss out a campfire?
And then be super pumped about it?
Like, "Oh my God, do you smell that?
Can you smell that? Smells bad."
Good to see that disgusting is genetic.
Alright, thank you guys so much.
Thank you so much.
[cheers, applause]
This is a real treat. I get to bring out
my very best friend in the whole world.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
Ms. Rachel Feinstein!
[cheers, applause]
Thank you!
Thank you, guys,
you're nice to me here.
It's been a weird week.
My family was visiting,
it's a lot with my mom. I don't know
if anybody has a parent like this.
My mother has no boundaries.
Every time I'm alone with her,
she tells me something
I truly never wanted to know.
She'll be like, "Fine, there was a year
when I considered leaving your father."
I'm like, "I don't want to know that."
She's like, "I called it my dark year."
I'm like, "You title years of your life?
You teach low-impact aerobics.
You don't know darkness."
I'm the same way, but with strangers.
Like, I'll overshare with any stranger.
I'll be in line at a CVS,
somebody smiles at me, and I'll be like,
"I guess I never felt seen by my father?
I mean, I knew he loved me, but..."
That was
my worst fear when I had a kid,
like, "What if I don't connect to her?"
Because you hear that happens.
I'm like, "I'll tell everyone!"
I'll be at a barbecue, and somebody
will be like, "She's so cute,"
and I'll be like, "Isn't it crazy, but
I don't love her. Like, I feel nothing...
but a vague sense of resentment!"
Then, when I did love her,
I started announcing it to everyone.
I was like, "We love her!" My
brother's like, "You shouldn't say that.
Most people assume
you love your own kids.
It's kind of alarming, actually."
I'm like, "That's fair feedback."
She's a toddler. She's at that age.
She's two years old.
She just empties every room.
She just turns it out
like she's looking for coke, just...
like she has 24 hours
to leave the country
before a drug dealer sh**t her
in the face.
My husband's a fireman.
I mean, I think he's a fireman.
Thank you. He could just be a stripper
with a fireman costume.
But this is my life now.
I just have to go to these Staten Island
FDNY dinner dances
and he'll just deposit me
at a shrimp station somewhere.
I'm always the only Jew.
All the women are named Gina.
There's just like a sea of Ginas.
Just rows of hoisted tan racks
and shimmering crucifixes.
The men... the way they
congratulated us, the other firemen,
when we had a baby was terrifying.
They'd be like,
"Beautiful thing right there, huh?
Tiny baby girl. You got to cherish
her now, alright? While she's young."
Why does this feel like
an active thr*at, somehow?
"You know what? At the end
of the day it's about family.
Alright? Remember that.
It's about family." I'm like,
"Why do I feel like I'm about
to get offed on The Sopranos
whenever you guys greet us?"
They always sound
like they're about to admit something
they can't hold in any longer.
They'll be like, "You know what?
The days are long,
the years are short, alright?
You got to cherish her right now.
k*lled my first wife Diane."
I'm like, "I don't think you meant
to say that out loud, Dino."
"Diane went fast, too. You know? I watched
the light go out in her eyes, alright?
Everybody's good! Everybody's safe.
Things are good!"
But that's my type.
Your type is your type.
You can't change your type. I just like
a thick-necked, ignorant-looking man.
That's what I like!
I like a guy that looks like he'd say,
"Follow the money"
when he's talking about the vaccine.
The guys are generally named Vinny,
there's an occasional Dino.
But one of the Vinnies came up to...
One of the Vinnies came up to us, he goes,
"You got to take her to Disney, though.
That's the real family experience.
You got to take her to EPCOT."
Then he goes, "That's the real Japan,
at EPCOT, you know?"
"That's like, legit Japan."
With no irony whatsoever.
He's like, "People think
you got to spend all this cash,
and fly all the way to Japan,
but it's a f*cking scam."
He referred to traveling the world
as a scam somehow,
and EPCOT as reality.
That was real life in Vinny's mind.
But yeah, I asked my mom, "What was I like
when I was my daughter's age?"
She can never think of anything good
to say about me.
She'll always be like,
"You know, you ate very fast."
I'm like,
"That's the detail you pull out?"
She's like, "Well, you ate at a rapid
pace. You choked on a chicken bone once,
I do remember that.
You were a greedy eater.
There was a certain rampant quality
to your eating and we didn't feel safe."
I'm like, "Thank you, this was real
helpful, I'll circle back with you."
And a lot of the other "firewives"--
That's not a term,
they've actually asked me to stop
saying that...
"Badge banger," I prefer that.
I identify as a badge banger.
Though, a lot of the other women--
a lot of the people I know do this.
They'll post these long monologues
about how fantastic their marriages are
on Instagram.
Do you know people that do this?
I don't understand the instinct
to drag your husband out
to a pumpkin patch somewhere.
The guy's bloated and hung over.
He's completely confused.
He has no idea
why he's in matching flannels
with his entire extended family.
And they'll be like, "Vinny,
you challenge me every single day.
Every day with you is like a beautiful,
challenging journey.
You have truly made me question everything
I ever thought was possible
in this non-stop learning voyage
we're all on together."
I'm like, "Vinny is on p*rn right now.
What the f*ck
has he made you question?"
The last time I saw him, he was so drunk,
he was wet. Just dripping.
Also, my husband never takes pictures
of me,
he always claims
there's not enough room on his phone.
I'm like,
"It's not a storage issue."
He's like, "There's not enough
room on my phone!"
The one picture he took of me
at our wedding, I was eating.
I had a sandwich falling out
of the corner of my mouth.
It was the most slovenly,
disgraceful moment.
I'm like,
"That's the picture you take?"
He's like,
"Well, it was like, the essence of you,
you know?
You're a greedy eater."
Alright, you guys,
thank you so much.
[cheers, applause]
Rachel Feinstein, let her hear it!
These comedians are my best friends,
including this one.
He's just one of my absolute
favorite comics.
And you know him
as Mr. Chris DiStefano!
[cheers, applause]
Great job, Amy.
Oh!
Hello!
Hello, hello, how you doing?
You feel good? You look good?
This is what it is, dude.
It's the parenting show.
I feel like nobody in here
even has kids, right?
It's L.A., who has...?
Like eight people.
You have kids, dude? Yeah.
You look like you have long COVID.
You're just like sitting there
breath... I could tell.
I knew you had kids.
I saw you in the back,
I was like,
"This guy looks like he's dying!"
And yeah.
I got kids. I got two little girls.
My daughters are Puerto Rican.
You know what I mean?
So, diverse? I'm a great white.
You know? So, this great white man,
I have these little Latina children
and they don't speak English,
that's the thing.
My kids, especially my older one,
she just doesn't...
They just speak Spanish.
The mom is always just...
I'm trying to watch Encanto
to talk to my f*cking kids.
And I can't... you know, which is great!
I want them to learn different languages,
but Papi only speaks English, you know?
But I think the thing is,
with having kids,
like I don't have a lot
of time or energy to like,
think about a lot of stuff.
Like, I had to go to Portland.
You know what I mean?
Whatever, that city.
I love this country.
I bleed red, white, and blue,
but f*cking Portland?
You know? I mean...
Those people, it's just, it's too much.
Like they're very passive aggressive,
very woke,
and I was just in there, and they're just
looking at you, judging you.
And I was in there two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago!
I had to go in there.
I went to a coffee shop,
and I didn't know
that you still had to wear a mask
because I was like,
it's present-day America,
and you know,
the barista's just like this,
she's going like this.
She keeps doing this. I was like,
"I don't know what you're doing."
Like, she's just going like that.
I was like, "I don't know sign language.
I'm sorry, I should be better,
I'm a white piece of sh*t.
I know, I'm sorry.
I'm not anti-sign.
What do you want me to do?"
And she just wasn't talking,
she just kept going like this.
I was like, "What are you trying
to tell me, lady? Just use your words!"
And then she was like,
"You need to put on a mask!"
I was like, "Oh, okay.
You should have just said that!"
So I was like, "Okay." And I'm just
politely putting on a mask,
and I was like "I'm sorry,
I'm from New York, and...
we don't have the masks there anymore."
And she was like, "Well, here in Portland,
we still take COVID very seriously."
I was like, "You seem like a fun person.
You really do.
You just seem like a real ball of laughs."
And so I proceed to order my drink.
I was like, "Can I have
a small iced coffee, black?"
She was like, "Excuse me?"
I was like, "Can you not hear me
through the mask?"
I was like,
"Can I have a small iced coffee, black?"
She was like, "Do you mean
a small iced coffee with no cream?"
I was like, "Isn't that the same
as a small iced coffee, black?"
She was like, "After what the
African-American community's
been through these last two years,
I think you need to do a better job
ordering your coffees."
I was like,
"I'd rather be beheaded by !sis
than have to talk to you
for one more second."
So I ripped that mask off,
I walked right out of that coffee shop,
I walked two blocks down
to another coffee shop,
walked right in, and said,
"Can I have a small iced coffee
with no cream?"
Because I am such a little p*ssy.
But you know--
I don't know. It's what it is.
People are just...
Everyone's going a little nuts.
Everyone's just a little off.
You know what I'm saying?
They're just a little off lately.
Like I had to put my dog down.
Listen, he lived a good life.
Eighteen years.
Eighteen years, my dog.
Little Larry. Larry was his name.
Eighteen years old,
but he was one of those dogs.
He was dying for like
the past 16 years.
Every time I'd go visit my mother--
she had the dog-- another piece
of his body was being biopsied,
an eye didn't work,
his head was turned over,
he was always bleeding.
He looks like he's fighting
in the Civil w*r.
Somebody needs to put this dog down.
It was clear this dog wanted to die.
And I would just go visit my mom,
and try, like, "Mom,
we need to put the dog down."
She'd be like,
"Jesus hasn't called him yet."
I'm like, "No, he's calling me
to tell you... I'm telling you,
the dog wants to die so bad."
I would come over
with a fistful of baker's chocolate.
I'd just be like, "Who wants death
by chocolate, Larry? Come on.
Just eat it, it's a great way to go out."
And so finally, one day I go visit my mom,
and the dog's dying.
I mean,
Larry's pretty much dead on the floor.
And I'm just like,
"Let's go take the dog to the vet
and just put it out of its misery."
She's like, "You're right, let's go."
And it was 12 o'clock, it was midnight,
and I was f*cking starving.
So we're driving to the vet, and I see
a Wendy's out of the corner of my eye.
I was like, "Mom, real quick, let's go.
I'll go to Wendy's real quick.
I'll get whatever you want,"
and she's like, "No, let's go to the vet!"
I was like, "Fine, I'll just starve then!"
I was like a disgruntled f*cking teenager.
I'm 37.
So, we get to the vet,
and the vet is so nice.
She's like the nicest lady ever.
She's like, "We did our tests
on little Larry,
and we do see that
he's at the end of his life,
and we're just going to put a little prick
in his little paw,
and the medicine's going
to go through in 30 seconds.
It's going to be 30 seconds.
His little heart's going to stop,
but he's going to go to Heaven
with all the other dogs,
and Cruella, and everyone's up there,
and he's going to be fine,
he's going to be out of pain,
and this is the right thing."
And I'm like, "Okay, fine." Because
in my head, I'm like, "30 seconds.
By the time we do the paperwork,
everything will be good.
You know, it's 12:30,
Wendy's does close at 2:00."
And listen, it's what it is.
This is a 100% true story.
So, the medicine's going through,
just like she said.
Little prick in his paw,
it's going like a roller coaster,
it's going to hit his little body,
stop his little heart,
thirty seconds.
And listen, we're all upset.
I'm upset, my mom's upset,
and I'm just comforting her.
Comforting my mom, she's crying.
I'm like, "Mom, this is fine."
We get down to 15 seconds, I'm like,
"We are halfway there, Mom.
We are halfway there."
We get to five, I started counting
out loud. I was like, "Five, four,
three, two, one!
It's a celebration!"
And Larry's still alive.
He's just still alive. And I'm like,
"Okay, that happens,"
but as time is going on,
seconds are going by,
Larry looks like he's getting more energy,
like he's getting color back
that he never had,
his fur used to be gray,
now it's getting that nice orange tint,
he's standing up on his legs
once again.
I was like, "Wow, Larry looks
f*cking good right now. What's happening?"
Five minutes go by, and finally I say
to the vet, "Is there a problem?"
She goes, "Absolutely."
I was like, "Oh, okay."
She goes outside, comes back
a minute later. She goes,
"I am so sorry."
She was like,
"I hired a new vet tech,
and the vet tech accidentally
gave your dog electrolytes
because the dog next door to you
was dehydrated
and we mixed up the medication."
She goes, "But don't worry,
I have the right medication right here.
He'll be dead in a second."
I swear to God,
as soon as she put
the right medicine in,
he d*ed immediately.
It was like somebody had a sn*per r*fle
at the top of the f*cking room
and just sh*t him in the head.
Rolled over, Xs over his eyes,
soul gone to heaven,
I had a Baconator in my hand at 1:59.
It was f*cking fantastic.
Alright, guys, thank you.
[cheers, applause]
You guys are the best.
You really are such a great crowd.
Everyone's talking about you backstage.
Everybody loves you.
We want to make it official.
We want to commit.
Alright. This comedian is undeniably
hilarious and I love him so much.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Lil Rel Howery!
[cheers, applause]
Yeah! What up?
Netflix is a f*cking joke.
I got a whole jean...
Look, let me tell you something,
I'm showing my age now. I'm in my 40s,
and this is what 40-year-olds do,
they like, match a bunch of sh*t
that don't make no f*cking sense.
I got a whole jean suit on
with a cowboy hat.
This is a dad outfit for real.
I'm the cool dad!
You know who the f*ck this is.
Man, I got a 13, 12-year-old,
and a five-year-old.
I know, man.
Like, f*ck!
You know what's funny?
Like when I was a younger parent,
I tried to do all the things
the right way.
Now I don't really give a f*ck no more.
You know what I'm saying?
My five-year-old, we went
to one of those jumpy things,
he peed in that sh*t.
I was like, "Oh sh*t, let's just go."
You know what I mean? I ain't...
I ain't changing, we just walking
the f*ck out of here.
He was leaking the whole time.
Nobody seen sh*t.
"Come on, y'all!"
Damn!
Hate being a f*cking new dad again.
Carrying their f*cking car seat.
People downplay that.
Nobody realizes how heavy it is
to carry a human being
with one f*cking arm. That's stupid!
I don't give a sh*t, as long as they
strapped in, I'm going to carry that sh*t
the best way I can. If you upside down,
f*ck it. I'm like, "f*ck it."
No, I can't go to jail!
He good, he's strapped in!
As long as he don't fall out, we good!
My daughter's 13,
she's a f*cking teenager now.
She got the period.
That's right, it happened with me.
I was hoping...
I was like,
"Damn, you got to be with me? sh*t."
Because I'm a divorced dad, so like,
it was my time, and I'm like,
"Wait a minute, why the f*ck...?
I ain't ready for this."
You know what I mean?
I tried my best, but I didn't know what
to get. I ain't going to lie to you.
I went to the store
and got everything.
I didn't know what the f*ck to get.
That lady was ringing me up like,
"You got a shelter or something?
What you got all these
different sizes for?
What the f*ck you got going on, sir?
What the f*ck you got going on, sir?"
I ain't f*cking know.
I'm like, "Let me get the...
the pad that absorb the most."
Man, we stupid, that's what
we think, right?
We think, "Get the sh*t that absorb
the most."
And when I put all this sh*t on the table,
she like, "Uh, Dad,
this is for Grandma,
I don't know what the f*ck...
you think I've got going on.
I'm 13, sir."
"You don't want the one
that absorb the most?"
Like my son was there with me,
and he was confused, too.
We was looking at this sh*t, and
I took everything out of the box,
he playing with the sh*t...
"Put this sh*t down, stop playing, boy!"
Ain't no f*cking lightsaber.
But he was like,
"Dad, you know something?
I would want the grandma one."
And I thought about that.
That's how little boys
f*cking think, right?
Little girls, like, y'all don't want
nobody to know you're on your period.
You want something to hide that sh*t.
Little boys ain't sh*t.
If little boys had periods,
they'd want everybody to know
they had the fattest sh*t here.
"Yeah, I'm on my period,
what the f*ck you talking about?
Y'all need to take me home,
I can't go to school today,
I'm on my period!
I'm sleepy, I'm hungry, I'm tired,
I can't focus. I'm f*cked up!"
Learning too much about women
because I've got a f*cking 13-year-old.
We go bra shopping and sh*t.
I didn't realize
it was about y'all's backs.
Fellas, for a long time, you thought it
was about the titty meat, nope!
That number's about how big
their f*cking backs is, so...
if you see a Double D out here,
it ain't about the titties,
she got a big-ass back.
I'm just being honest.
If you ain't know.
It was weird, too,
I forget I was doing a stand-up show.
You start thinking about real sh*t,
like "g*dd*mn, I got to figure
this Legoland situation out."
f*ck, you got a 13, 12, and 5-year-old,
the 5-year-old can't get on sh*t.
And that means I can't get on sh*t.
They get to have fun,
like the 13 and 12-year-old,
they get to have a good-ass time.
I'm watching this m*therf*cker.
I'm sorry, that's my kid, but...
Doing some regular sh*t,
some little bridge,
some dumb car that's slow as f*ck.
They do all the, "Dad, we got
on the roller coaster!"
"Shut the f*ck up!
f*ck y'all."
Yeah, that's real.
But my son, my 12-year-old,
he's like my best friend,
the oldest, he's...
he's a lot like me,
and I love that sh*t. I love the fact
that this brother is like me.
Like, if he wasn't my kid,
we would be best f*cking friends.
If we was the same age,
I fucks with him.
That's why I don't even know
how to help him sometimes.
You know what I mean?
He going through, like--
12-year-old boys, look, it depends,
but boys do go through a
little weird stinking period, right?
Where they just don't wash their ass
well enough.
And his mama called me like,
"Yo, you got to talk to him,
He doesn't care.
He's putting on the same clothes."
And it's hard to talk to your best friend
about him stinking.
Like, "Damn, brother, we got to talk."
You try to play the game
with them a little bit and sh*t?
Making little jokes,
"This is fun, right?"
[deep sigh]
Look, your mama say
you have musty balls.
Would you just wash that sh*t so we ain't
got to talk about this sh*t again, please?
I bought you some new socks.
Stop wearing the same stinking-ass socks.
Alright, well, that's it. I'm done!
Thank y'all so much.
I'm Lil Rel, that's my time.
[cheers, applause]
Lil Rel, let him hear it!
You're such a great crowd,
I want to say
goodnight by thanking our families
who made us who we are, and provided us
with all of this material.
Please give it up one more time
for Chris DiStefano.
[cheers, applause]
That's you.
-Oh, look at what a nice guy you were.
-[Chris] Yeah.
What happened?
Oh, okay. Well anyway, Ron Funches!
[cheers, applause]
Christina P!
Give it up!
Jaye McBride!
Oh, Jaye, you're cute!
Rachel Feinstein!
[cheers, applause]
And one more time for Lil Rel Howery.
-[cheers, applause]
-[Amy] Aw!
We're cute!
One more time for everybody.
Thank you, goodnight!
Isn't it funny that we all have known each
other for like years and years?
We really don't know anything.
We don't know anything
about each other.
We talk about where we grew up on stage,
we just don't pay attention.
Right, like I learned so much like,
talking to other comics about,
"You went to film school?"
Like, I know nothing.
My son wrote a sketch.
And it was really funny,
and he like kind of
dissed me at the same time.
Like, "Dad, I want you to be
in the sketch,
I want you to do the voice you do
in movies when you get really high-pitched
and don't sound how you sound in
real life." Like, "Damn, what that mean?"
Wow. Yeah.
It's so easy!
