they made me think that I was part of

the family you know it's good to be nice

to the people you work for but never

forget it's your real family that will

always be there for you mostly because

we can't afford to travel don't be

stupid don't call yourself stupid you

are not stupid stay up for leaving you

this cell phone who had relatives in

another country just give the little

girl a quarter when you're done bill if

you have to scream could you just not do

it so close to my ear oh sorry I thought

this was a baseball game not a girly

teacup doily party what all I'm saying

is I paid for this seat and I can yell

all I want in my husband feet trying to

watch a game get your frozen lemonade

that sounds good an outage no no I'll

get it oh no I told all my employees the

day was on me well I told my son I get

a problem i'm a Cub fan you have a

problem I have a problem you sitting in

my seat or you to never give up dude

[Applause]

oh all right yeah only because you're

driving it out of my dad that's because

I love my son has the I Brian still

hurts well look on the bright side which

I probably should have come up with

before I threw that out there I'm really

worried about your head be all right man

I'm talking to your father you are

insane last night you just need an

aspirin are you still mad yes how about

now yes now yeah yeah you can bearish me

in front of everybody and now i'm

probably gonna get fired you're not

gonna lose your job Chuck's a nice guy

then why were you acting like that it's

just that you were rooting for another

team and really bugged me what's the

difference dead than just baseball teams

well when two people are fans are the

same team they they share a bond means

they're more likely to stay close and

discuss things like batting averages or

oh I don't know what's going on with you

and your girlfriend girlfriend dad I

don't even have a girlfriend any minute

I know I have to hear it from your boss

seems like you've been telling them a

lot of stuff lately that I know nothing

about is that what's been making me so

crazy well that and I genuinely do hate

the socks but mostly the girlfriend

that I tried to talk to you about

haunting but sometimes when I want to

talk give me that face what face that

want to hear it face oh you mean this

one no that's your I thought I had a

candy bar in the freezer face oh now

that reminds me no no that can wait have

a hundred percent of my attention son

you were saying sure you really want to

hear all this you kidding you finally

have an age where your problems are

interesting really yeah the first ten

years were all about wiping stuff that

came out of here now it's all about

girls and cars and fights don't shut me

out now okay well remember how Barney

was acting really weird haha so she

comes up to me at the pep rally uh-huh

and right away I could tell something

was bothering it just by the way she

said my name uh-huh so anyway it turns

out that she saw me talking to the girl

with the locker next to me but I was

only asking for notes for our chemistry

class cuz I wasn't paying attention i

was looking at barn again sorry so then

when she gives me the notes body thinks

the phone love notes

[Music]

way cause you actually
