It’s nice to be back.
It really is.
I’ve been living in LA now.
Uh.
It’s a little scary.
The planet doesn’t want us anymore.
We’re on fire… all the time.
My kids just run out on the lawn and catch ashes on their tongues, like it’s snowflakes.
“Thank you, Santa.”
I’m like, “Spit that out.
It’s our neighbor’s house.”
The planet doesn’t want any of us though, right? Everyone’s in trouble now.
Houston got it a couple times, Florida… Uh.

The Bahamas, Puerto Rico… How about the poor people in Staten Island? Oh, man.

People in the Bahamas just had a fundraiser for the people in Staten Island.
Thoughts and prayers, guys.
But thank you for coming out.
You look beautiful.
I hope you’re doing alright.
You look happy.
I travel the whole country and everybody’s freaking out.
Everywhere I go, people are doing deep yoga breaths in the airport.
They’re downloading meditation apps on their phone, just trying to keep it together.
Calm down, you’re doing great.
You’re doing great.
I’m telling you, you’re doing great.
Life isn’t perfect.
It never was, and it never will be.
We’ve all got stuff to deal with.
You’re doing great.
So what, you’re fat.
Who cares? We’re all fat.
You’re either really fat, kind of fat, or trying not to be fat.
Either way, fat’s coming.
And that’s alright.
Don’t hate on it.
You know why you’re fat? Because you’re winners.
Yeah, first generation, born at the right time, doesn’t have to fight for survival.
Food always within arm’s reach, perfect temperature everywhere you go.
Every day you wake up in America, it’s a perfect 72 and snacky.
So, yeah, we’re going to be a little chubby.
Big deal.
Don’t hate on it.
Don’t hate on it.
Accept you.
This is it, guys.
You’re a grown-up.
You’re an adult.
This is what you ended up looking like.
Game over.
So, you don’t have the body of an Olympic athlete.
Well… you’re not an Olympic athlete.
You’re Don from Sales.
You got a fat ass, you wear khakis, you hike them up when you walk.
We still like ya.
So, don’t tell me what you’re quitting.
I don’t care.
I don’t care what your low self-esteem… decided you should quit this week.
“I’m quitting meat.”
“I’m quitting gluten.”
I don’t care.
You’re my friend.
You looked awful yesterday.
You’re going to look a little worse tomorrow.
----Punchline----
Yeah.

Why are we even talking about this? Let’s get some ice cream and enjoy the day.
My wife quit sugar in January because she ate cookies like a monster… all through December, and on January 1st, came marching into the kitchen: “That’s it.
I’m never eating sugar again.”
[chuckling]
“Yes, you are.”
And you’re going to eat more than you ever ate before.
Not because you’re weak, but because you’re a human being and you get sad sometimes.
And to stop yourself from slitting your own throat, you eat a cookie once in a while.
I have friends in my life that don’t eat bread anymore.
They don’t eat bread.
[slower]
They don’t eat bread.
They’re going to lose three and a half pounds.
No one’s ever going to know.
----Punchline----
And they don’t eat bread.

Could you imagine? No toast in the morning with butter for the rest of your life? Kill yourself.
Make some room for people who know how to live.
I know it’s hard.
I know, I feel the pressure too.
Everyone in your face, telling you to do more, lose more weight, be better… I get it.
I get it.
They show you the ads for the gym, they show you to try to get you to join up, like the “Before” and “After” guy.
I always like the “Before” guy, frankly.
Yeah, he looks a little chubby.
He also looks like he has a box of donuts and a lot of friends.
That “After” guy’s got a weird look in his eye.
Looks like he takes his shirt off when he shouldn’t.
They’re always getting in our face: “Yeah, well, other generations were skinnier.”
Yeah? Well, their lives were miserable.
Gandhi didn’t look like Gandhi because he was killing it at SoulCycle.
He had a horrible life.
He wore a diaper and ate butterflies for lunch.
Every show has a makeover segment on it now, right? They always take some woman, tell her she’s not good enough, and, therefore, no women watching are good enough.
It’s always a mom… Always a mom.
Just a worker.
Right? Fifteen kids and 20 animals… driving around in her Cheerio-covered minivan.
She didn’t think her life was going to go this way, no.
She thought she was going to be a princess.
That’s what they told her her whole life: “You’re a princess.”
And on her wedding day, she thought she made it.
They dressed her up like a snow queen.
They took pictures of her next to the duck pond.
She thought she did it.

She woke up the next morning, they took her veil away, gave her some sweatpants and told her to get to work.

But she doesn’t care.
She loves this family, dedicates her life to these people.
She’s an angel here on Earth.
And what does her family do in return? They pop out of a pantry on national TV and scream in her face.
‘We’re giving you a makeover!”
“I thought I looked okay.”
“No, you’re disgusting.
We had a meeting when you were making us lunch.
We decided we’re not going to look at this anymore.”
Then they drag her ass to The Today Show.
They put her in clothes she could never afford or wear.
She can’t wear heels this big.
They’re going to get stuck in the field when she’s putting up the soccer nets.
Hair and makeup she could never replicate on her own without an extra three hours in the morning before the school bus comes.
This is the worst part: On national TV, she comes waddling out in her heels, trying not to fall.
Her whole family’s in front of her, they start crying, in her face.
“Oh my God, you’re beautiful.
You look nothing like you.”
Cut her a break.
You’ve got to be nicer to each other.
You’ve got to be nicer to yourself.
This is hard.
It’s hard what we’re doing, isn’t it? It’s hard being a person.
Yeah.
It’s hard.
When I was little, I used to look at grown-ups with money and cars and think, “Wow, that looks fun.
I can’t wait.”
Then I was an adult for six weeks.
I’m like, “This blows.
“I have to pay for everything.”
Just the physical maintenance of you every day, right? It’s endless.
Just the brushing and cleaning and wiping… hopefully every day.
It’s like you’re your own pet.
And some people don’t take care of their pet very well.
You see them on the sidewalk, their hair’s all matted, looks like they ate out of the garbage.
“Where’s your collar, Dan?”
“Aaah!”
God.
Just the check list of stuff you’ve got to do to get out of the house.
I mean, look around tonight.
Right? Look around.
No one’s killing it in here.
You look alright, but no one’s like, “Wow, look at that guy.”
And still, to look like this took some doing, didn’t it? Yeah.
You made choices, put things back…[chuckling]
I was walking down Sixth Avenue in New York, this businessman walking the other way.
So well thought out, everything immaculate: suit, tie, leather shoes match his briefcase… glasses… not a hair out of place.
Fly open, one ball out.
I understood.
He did everything on the list, didn’t check that one box.
Just on his way to a meeting.
Probably on his way back from a meeting, actually.
No, that’s the other thing.
As an adult, nobody cares.
Nobody helps you.
Probably looked him in the eye in the meeting.
“I’m not telling him, I got my own problems.
I think I’m wearing my wife’s underwear today.
I don’t know what the hell’s going on.”
His wife probably kissed him goodbye in the morning.
“So long, honey.
What a jackass.
He’ll figure it out.
If I’ve got to see it, so should everybody else.
Wouldn’t hurt to get a little sun on that guy once in a while.”
[sighs]
No one cares.
We’re totally alone.
You are.
Even the people closest to you only get so close, right? The people you sleep next to, only so close.
You’ve got to give yourself little pep talks in your head.
All day long, like a crazy person.
‘Cause you’re the only one looking out for you.
“I’ve got my wallet, got my cell phone.
Okay, okay.
[sighs]
Where are my keys? Where are my keys? Okay, I’ve got my keys.
Alright, it’s going to be a great day.
It’s going to be a great day.”
The only difference between you and a crazy person is they say it out loud on the street.
[loudly]
“I’ve got my wallet, got my cell phone… Going to be a great day!”
You’re looking at him across the street, “This guy’s nuts.

Even my iPhone turned on me, my only true friend in the world.
It’s taking all the photos I take and putting them in categories of its own choosing.
It considers my fat face and my normal face to be two different people.
And there’s a lot more of the fat face guy.
Apparently, he owns the phone.
You ever catch yourself on the phone, that undershot?[audience groaning]
[gasps]
You don’t even think you’re fat, and you’re like, “I’m a monster.”
“How are they not just hitting me with a dart when I come out of the front door… and taking me to the zoo to be identified?”
It’s hard.
I don’t know why we don’t feel like we’re doing great.
You work hard, do all the stuff you’re supposed to be doing.
You’re doing your best, and still, you feel like it’s not enough.
I think it’s social media.
I think since social media came out.
Before social media, I thought I was kicking ass.
I really did.
Now, every time I open my phone, someone’s in my face.
“Are you killing it today?”
“Are you living 100% maxed out energy?”
“Are you living your best life?”
No, I’m not.
I’m not doing any of those things… because that’s not normal.
I don’t care what The Rock’s Instagram says, that’s not normal.
You know what’s normal? How you feel right now.
Right now, in your funny little gassy bodies.
A little achy, a little tired, light-headed… taking deep breaths, so you don’t pass out in front of your friends.
Worried about your bills, worried about how you’re getting home, worried about that thing you found on your ass.
That’s normal.
And it’s exhausting and that’s normal too.
Being tired, which I know you are all the time.
That is normal.
You don’t need a five-hour energy drink.
You need to lay down once in a while.
[audience whooping and applauding]
So, we beat ourselves up about it all the time.
Right? All my friends… “I don’t know what’s wrong with me.
Two o’clock in the afternoon, every day.
I get so tired.
What’s wrong with me?”
Nothing.
Nothing.

No, I want them all to die.

“Oh, ‘We’re partying again.

“Oh, they’re in love.
No, they’re not.
He cheated on her last year.

We’ve got to control it, because it does get to you.
It does.

No.
No, that’s an illusion.

I made a horrible business decision.
I got married and had two children.
Horrible idea.
I love them, but they just grow and get bigger and need more money and more money.
At this point, it’s like I’m living with two unemployed coke addicts.
Seriously, they come into my office every morning: “Hey, you got more money for me?”
“What happened to the change from yesterday?’ “I don’t know.
The economy, right?”
And I spoil them.
I spoil the hell out of them.
Because they’re girls.
They’re two girls.
So, forget it.
They got me.
Oh, they got me.
I hope they don’t watch this and realize.
No, they got me.
And, you know, my father had money, but he didn’t spoil us, so I’m going the other way.
You know? My father made money, but he was like, “I’m not going to give it to children.
I’m going to spend it on what I want to spend it on.”
Could you imagine living in a time where the children weren’t in charge? Sounds like a magical time to be alive.
He took us to an amusement park once, he saw the line… He said, “Just look at it through the fence, you get the idea.”
My daughters make me take them out for ice cream three times a week.

That’s my dream.
But not now, not now, not now… I’ve got to get the kids out.
They’ve got to move out.
I’ve got to do all that.
That’s another weird thing, I just realized I can’t believe they’re leaving.
I have a seventeen-year-old.
She’s leaving.
It struck me.
I was like, “Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I didn’t want any of this.
I didn’t want this house.
I didn’t want this dog.
I didn’t want to live in this town.
I did this for you.
And now you’re just gonna leave?”
But then I thought, “But wait, when they’re both gone, what’s stopping me? What’s stopping me from going back to the life that I had before? How much can a Corolla be on eBay?”
----Punchline----
I’m going to get a backpack, fill it with everything I liked when I was 19: some Van Halen CDs, a little weed… I’m going to walk up the driveway and blow the house up behind me like Die Hard.

Yeah.
To be honest… I don’t want them to leave.
It’s going to be rough.
I don’t want to see them go.
No.
It’s fun… It’s… They’re not even that great, and I want them to be around.
We have a mean girl.
We have a mean girl.
Yeah, I didn’t know they were real.
They’re real.
Yeah, I feel guilty.
I made it.
I feed it.
I’m keeping it alive.
I give it money.
It’s like I’m funding the terrorists.
But it is complicated, because I can’t tell how mean she is.
When we were little, if you were a bad kid, they came right up to your father at school: “Hey, you got a shitty one here.
And your father was grateful an adult was talking to him: “Thank you.
I’ll beat him immediately.”
Now, they’ll get fired if they say that.
It’s confusing.
I can’t tell how mean she is and I love her.
So it’s all… I’m sure, at some point, Hitler’s parents must have turned to each other, like, “He’s a little weird, right?”
“Yeah, he’s weird.
He’s six.
Who has a mustache like that at six?”
She got in the car the other day, reached over my shoulder, changed the radio station… A whole Taylor Swift station came on.
I went to change it… All the stations are hers now.
I’m like, “When did that happen?”
She goes, “Don’t worry about it.
Just make it louder.”
Could you imagine, as a child, getting in your father’s car, demanding he put on your music and then, “Louder, a little lower, louder… Right there, chief, right there.”
When you eventually came out of your coma… they would have told you a story of how arrogant you were… and why you lost five years of your life… when you were hit in the head with a pipe… that you deserve.
But I get it.
You know, this is the age when music hits your life.
You don’t listen to your parents anymore.
When I was her age, that’s when Prince showed up.
You think I was listening to my father? My fat, bald, white father… when Prince showed up? Right? Half naked, his little nipple hairs sticking out… Full mustache, but wearing makeup.
Kind of gay, but singing about sleeping with women.
----Punchline----
I was like, “I don’t know what this guy is trying to tell me, but I’m going to follow him to the end of my days.”

From that point on, all your role models were perverts, right? Prince, David Bowie… Freddie Mercury running around with his ball bag hanging out… We didn’t even know he was gay.
We didn’t even know he was gay.
The name of his band was Queen.

But you know what? Honestly, I like that she’s a mean girl.
I like it.
What are we saying? You know? Girls should be tough.
If it means being called mean, so what? It’s scary out there.
Yeah, she’s tough.
Go ahead.
She’s got to go out there and meet men… Gotta meet men! Ugh! Gotta bring men home, big hairy men.
Ugh! Who knew? Who knew that men were so awful? Who knew? I think the women knew.
----Punchline----
I think the women knew.

Yeah, I think you knew.
We had no idea.
I feel bad.
We should have been looking out for you.
We had no… Regular guys did not know that these guys were out there.
And we know a lot of secrets.
We didn’t know these guys were so bad.
Think of the psychotic narcissism of these men, that your hello when you meet a woman for the first time is to reach into your pants, take out your worst part… and present it to her, like it’s an award she’d be happy to receive.
That’s a psychopath.
I’ve been married 19 years.
When I take my pants off, lights are out.
Curtains drawn… I’m under the covers.
I don’t even want to see it.
I’m like, “I’m sorry, honey.
By law, you have to take a look.”
But it’s good.
It’s a great thing that’s happened.
We’re correcting it, we’re getting rid of horrible people.
We’re changing the workplace.
It’s a positive thing.
I was worried about my daughters.
I was, I was like, “How am I going to teach them… how awful men are?”
You know? “How are they going to know how bad guys can be?”
I’m the only man in their life, and I’m pretty great.
----Punchline----
Especially to them.

…with tales to tell.
And every week since then, there’s been another monster.
My daughters will be lesbians by Thanksgiving.
You’ve got to be tough.
You’ve got to be tough.
It’s tough out there.
One of our cats just died.
That was a sad thing.

No.
To be honest, this cat and I did not get along.
Uh, I tried to like her, but she didn’t like me.
You know a cat doesn’t like you when you come home at night, it gets on its hind legs like a human being and runs at you with its claws out.
That’s alright.
It’s not my job to love the animals.
They want animals.
It’s my job as the father to get them animals.
I get them animals.
I drive them home, they live with them and love them, and when they’re about to die, I drive them back out.
I’m like the warden on death row.
They hear me coming with the cat carrier, they all back into the room: “Who’s he coming for this time?”
“I don’t know.
Grace has been walking kind of funny.”
There’s one old cat with a harmonica.
“Don’t pay him no mind.
He comes for all of us one day.”
[meowing harmonica riff]
So, I brought her in to the vet.
She knows she’s not feeling well.
And she knows it’s her last trip there.
She sees the vet, turns to see my wife… I’m sitting there.
The look of disappointment in this cat’s face like, “Really? You?”
“Look, I don’t want to be here either.
Let’s just get through this.”
The vet’s like, “Alright, so this is what happens.
We give them one shot, that mellows them out, then we give them the second shot.
Does the trick.”
I’m like, “I know.
I’ve been here before.”
And he said, “Okay.
I’ll leave you two alone now, so you can say your goodbyes.”
You’re in a vet’s office.
You can’t be like, “No, I’m good.”
“I can skip that part.
Just give me that collar, I’ll get out of here.
Oh, the goodbye.
Right!”
The cat’s like, “Get off of me.”
I didn’t think I was going to cry.
I didn’t think I was going to cry, but… she was really working it.
She was really working it.
I felt like her last goal on Earth was to break me.
You know? She just kept looking at me with those big eyes, just… And I was hanging in there.
Then she went into her final purr.
That sad, broken, pathetic death purr.
