I don't care.
ALI: My boyfriend and I, we just took our relationship to the next level.
We broke up.
JASON: Women, you don't have to shave entirely.
Otherwise, it just feels like another part of the thigh.
If I'm going into a rough neighborhood, - I wanna know it.
- Oh, boy.
- Hey, hey.
- Yeah? I think women are f funny.
Spread the word.
What am I doing wrong? No one in here knows that you are the next Kevin Hart.
I'm not the next Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart is Kevin Hart.
We have a Kevin Hart.
He's perfect for the part.
I'm just a I'm a club guy.
Shouldn't we hustle? Show's at eight.
There might be traffic.
Easy, Pete.
There's no show without us.
That starts on the way down, baby.
It's an attitude.
You gotta You gotta own this thing, you know? Pete the middle act drives.
Didn't I tell you that? The middle act drives, baby.
- Come on.
- Okay.
When I was starting out, I drove Jay Mohr.
Had to listen to "Who Let the Dogs Out?" 17 times.
The guy was obsessed.
Never let them see you sweat, Petey.
You're gonna be doing this for years.
You gotta learn to relax a little bit.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I I wasn't really sure what to do next, but I'm kind of saying yes to everything.
That's good, man.
That's what you gotta do.
You gotta get up when you can get up.
You gotta grind it.
That's my thinking.
I'm even, you know, sort of considering doing this, um, Christian tour.
I mean, it's not it's not a certain thing.
They just I did a show at a temple.
A woman said, "I think you'd be good for the religious market," - so I have an offer, but - Fuck that! Pete, I meant When I said everything, I didn't mean everything.
I mean real comedy.
Real.
Not some fucking whacked-out Jesus shit.
Right.
Yeah, no.
I'm not sure I'm gonna do it, either.
Good.
You gonna buckle up? [SIGHS.]
You know, the statistics are in.
Come on.
[HEAVY METAL BLARING ON STEREO.]
Let's roll, Petey! Can the pestilence within you be bled out? May I have the honor of this amputation? Know that you have made an enemy To show you the meaning of indignity I live now solely for the pleasure of your slow decay - [MUSIC STOPS.]
- JASON: Oh! Hi-yah! Whoa.
Whoa.
This is it? This is it.
What do you mean, "This is it?" You never stayed at the Comedy Club condo before? No.
Is this your first club weekend, your first full weekend? Yeah, I've only done one-nighters, colleges.
You are gonna love this here, man.
This is not like the city, where they have a bunch of entertainment options and nobody really cares that you're there.
Here, they're grateful you just showed up.
Get ready, baby.
This is it.
Do you like waitresses, Pete? Uh, yeah, I like when they call me "Hon.
" That's fun.
What the hell are you talking about, Pete? Why would you ever get into comedy if you don't want to bang waitresses? Wow.
It's like an assassin's hideout.
This is a hot scene, baby.
I've got good memories here, believe me.
- Look who it is.
- ALI: Ah! - Al.
Hey.
- Hey.
What are you Are you working this weekend? Yeah.
I mean, yeah, I just saw the lineup.

I sleep all day, so keep it down before four p.
m.

I'm surprised to, you know, see you in deep Jersey.
Yeah, I, um I'm still running that, - that late-night set.

- That's my specialty.
- I'm like Anxiety MacGyver.
- Mm.
I can make a bomb out of even a good thing.
Mm-hmm.
Oh! Fun fact.
There's a lot of cheese in the fridge.
Like, whoever was here before just left all the cheese.
Great, I'm starving.
[LAUGHS.]
Are you seriously gonna eat the cheese? - No! - [LAUGHING.]
: I really thought you were! I do not want to eat Pablo Francisco's cheese.
[POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER PA.]
You know they got a go-kart track on the second floor of this mall, Pete? Maybe we'll go.

I'm the headliner.
I, uh, I'm the guy.
Okay, what's your name? Serious? My Jason Webber, I'm on the marquee.

Now, you met Steve.
Deborah's gonna be taking care of you.
What happened to Richie? Remember Richie? Richie was a great guy.
I'm sorry, I don't know Richie.
I don't have any idea what occurred here before the club was acquired.
The guy was a blast, a lunatic, but a great guy.
He used to keep his gun on the desk when we settled up.
- Yeah, hold on.
- It was a bit.
Uh-huh.
No.
Yeah.
Right, it's a boneless wing.
Right.

- It's all bullshit.
If you were doing late-night, you wouldn't think it was bullshit.
Let me tell you something.
Late-night died with Letterman.
Late-night sets are now just YouTube videos with the Hyundai commercials you can't fucking skip.

I was told I have to do some of these announcements, so, um, here we go.
You can find the Chuckle Shack on social media.
You guys have social media? - Yeah! - Yeah! They are @TheChuckleShackComedy on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram, on Snapchat.

It's family friendly comedy.
The show is so funny, you'll laugh till you squirt - [SCATTERED LAUGHTER.]
- milk out of your nose.

Oh, my God.
My name is Ali, which is short for Allison.
Allison sounds way more sophisticated, right? Like, Allison could win a Pulitzer Prize.
Ali could win a free Blooming Onion for taking a tit out at Applebee's.
You know what I mean? It's a different It's a different vibe.
- [ALI CONTINUES OVER TV.]
- [PETE LAUGHING.]
Oh, stop.
She's doing good.
- If you're into that, I guess.
- I am.

I'm Deborah.

Ah How 'bout that? Pays to be the headliner, huh, Pete? [LAUGHTER.]
I don't like it.
I don't like the museum.
It's boring.
I don't want to go.
When I'm at the museum, I'm not looking at paintings to appreciate them.
I'm staring at the painting, trying to figure out how long is appropriate to look at it, so when I walk away, the other people in the room aren't like, - "Well, he didn't get it at all.
" - [LAUGHTER.]
So I make a real serious face.
I'm like, "Mm-mm.
Look at the brush strokes.
Oh, yeah.
" But in my head I'm just like, Honey Nut Cheerios! [LAUGHTER.]
Have 'em for breakfast or lunch, you decide! It's not even a real song.
Give it up for Jason Webber! [CHEERING, APPLAUDING.]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
All right! What's up, fucker? - [CHEERING.]
- I don't know.
Listen.
Sometimes stereotypes are just kind of a reality, you know? So, that's not racism, you know? It's pattern recognition.
I mean, if you want to go see a film in a quiet theater, steer clear of Harlem, you know what I mean? We're all a little bit racist, right? I mean, who hasn't walked onto an airplane, seen a Chinese pilot and thought, "I'm gonna buckle up a little bit tighter.
" - [SCATTERED LAUGHTER.]
- What do you want from me? I mean, I don't know how to be a man sometimes, right? I mean, I'm not sure how to approach a woman, how to approach a girl, you know? We live in a time where, uh, you know, we're all on thin ice.
I mean, I don't know I don't know how What am I supposed to say, right? I mean, what's more creepy than asking a girl whether or not you can kiss her? "Hey, do you mind if I, um - "I mean, I just wanna - [LAUGHTER.]
"I'd like to take this "this one and this one and uhh, uhh.
Could I uhh!" You know, "Do you mind if I use tongue? Could you " You know, I don't know how to talk to a girl.
And how are we supposed to get into actual sex? I mean, do you write out a form and say, "Hey, do you mind if we, uh, do a little fucking? "Would you Is it okay if I put it in missionary? How about dog-style?" Do I say, "Hey do you mind if I, uh, slip this in?" "Oh, okay.
" "All right.
" "Do you mind if I, um Is it okay if I pull it out?" "Okay.
" "And do you mind if I speed it up? "Do you mind if I Yeah! Oh, oh! "Was that okay? Sorry, I didn't know.
"Is it okay? Is it not okay? Is it okay? Is it not okay?" [CELL PHONE BEEPING.]

Okay, yeah.

You're gonna love it.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
Okay, good.
You're all here.
Um, I've been trying to get a hold of your manager.
I manage myself.
What do you think, I'm gonna pay someone ten percent to pick up a phone, maybe answer an e-mail? No, thanks.
Okay.
Well, I need you to middle tonight.
What are you talking about? I thought we had a nice flow.
We're gonna try something new.
Okay.
Hey, Pete, are you comfortable headlining tonight? - Uh, yeah, I can do 45.
- Okay.
What the fuck are you talking about? We received complaints about your set, okay? - Comment cards? - No.
Yelp.
- Yelp.
- Yes, Yelp.
We dropped a full half-star in one night.
We take that very, very seriously.
Yelp.
Really? You dropped half a star and you're gonna give these fucking jerk-offs the power? If somebody's a pussy, fuck 'em! Honestly, you should just be happy we're keeping you on the show at all, if you can tone it down.
If I can tone it Did you see that room? Who do you think packed that room? We papered the house.
That was our mailing list.
We gave them free tickets.
This is This is bullshit.
This This is bullshit.
- PETE: Jay - Uh-huh.
No, yeah.
Well, it is in the system under "open food.
" Hold on.
Yes? Um, I was just wondering if maybe I should headline.
'Cause, uh, I'm not trying to, like, overstep my boundaries.
It's just that I have more credits, and, you know, I didn't get complaints.
- [LAUGHS.]
So - Yeah.
Actually, the owner did have some suggestions for you.
Oh, really? Wa-Was he here? He watches on a livestream from Florida, so - Oh.
- Mainly, just the global note is just have more enthusiasm overall.
Have fun with it, you know, smile more.
Right? - Smile more? - Yeah.
[LAUGHING.]
: Oh! Just did it.
I just feel like right now, it feels like you're pretending to want to read the announcements, and I want you to want to read the announcements.
- Right.
- You know, - you're excited about saying them.
- Oh, okay, yeah.
Great.
Good luck, everyone.
Have a good show.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
Smile more.
Cool.
I'm sorry, Al.
And I thought you smiled just the right amount.
JASON: It's code, sweetheart.
It means they want a bubbly chick to open the show.
It's tits and teeth.
Dude, you just got demoted to middle.
How are you lecturing me? Tits and teeth, that's all you are.
- [LAUGHTER.]
- Um, two drink specials tonight.
We've got the Chuckle Shackery and the Jack and Joke.
It's, uh Yeah.
And, uh, for an extra ten dollars, you can get it served to you in a laugh carafe.
You should definitely do that if you're utter trash.
[LAUGHTER.]
All right.
Well, now that I only have three minutes left, I guess I'll start my set.
I'm eating into the time as I speak.
Um You know, I think I'm gonna do some new material tonight.
- [CHEERS, APPLAUSE.]
- How do you guys feel about that? I just have to say I don't get these idiots who don't understand the concept of consent.
They're like, "I have to ask if she wants a dick in her? Wait, what? That's gonna totally throw off my momentum.
" [LAUGHTER.]
You ask questions all goddamn day.
You go to McDonald's, you say, "Hi.
"I don't want pickles on my burger.
Can I make sure that there are no pickles on my burger?" It shouldn't be daunting to say to a woman, "Hey, can I put my pickle in your burger?" [LAUGHTER.]
She's torpedoing my act.
ALI: Women love questions.
- Right? They love them.
- [APPLAUSE.]
I get off on questions.
"Can I take you to dinner?" [MOANS.]
You know? "Do you wanna meet my parents?" "Yes!" You know? "Can I fuck you?" [MOANS.]
"Now you can!" Guys, this has been such a treat.
I'm gonna bring up your middle for the evening.
- Are you guys ready for your middle? - [CHEERS, APPLAUSE.]
Oh, my God.
That's so wonderful.
You're gonna love him.
He is a delight and a half.
Give it up for Jason Webber.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
What's up, fuckers? How about a hand for Ali Reissen? Or maybe a fist, that'll loosen her up.
- [SCATTERED LAUGHTER.]
- [WOMAN GROANS.]
Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! [CHUCKLES.]
Anyway, um You know, listen.
Consent, you know.
She's "Oh, consent is so easy.
We all get it.
" I don't know, you know? I'm not sure we all do get it.
Right? I mean, it used to be you got it, you know? I mean Is there anything more creepy than asking a girl to kiss her? "Hey, do you mind if I put these on-on " [MURMURS.]
You know? And how we gonna make sex happen? Now you gotta ask outright, "Hey, do you mind if I put it in? "Hey, Sweet Pea, are we gonna do it missionary or dog-style?" [SCATTERED LAUGHTER.]
"Hey, do you mind if I insert?" - [GRUNTS.]
- [AUDIENCE SILENCE.]
"Do you mind if I insert this?" I mean And then her And then once you get it in, it's like, "Do you mind if I take it out?" And what about it when I put it in? Do you You know, what do I do here? - And, huh? I'm - [SILENCE.]
"I'm about to-to " and then, you know, like, "Where do I arc the load?" You know? I mean "Is it okay on your back? Should I just What if it hits you in the foot, you know? You gonna sue me?" - Huh.

[LAUGHING.]
: Okay.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
This shit used to be fun, Pete.

What do you think Bill Hicks would do if some broad complains? He'd give a fuck? He'd flick a cigarette at her tits.
- Well - No! It's like, if I were a fucking If I were a biracial lesbian doing the same material, that crowd would have carried me around.
They would've had a parade for me.
It's a shitty time to be a straight white guy, Pete.
Oh, my fucking God.
Oh, look who it is.
Samantha Bee, everybody.
- I mean, really, dude? - Really.
Come on, man.
It's a hard time to be a white guy? Have a little accountability, okay? You're not the victim.
And just because you're up there pacing around and wearing a leather jacket, doesn't mean you're telling it like it is.
Who gives a fuck what you think? I like leather, okay? - Jay - And I'll tell you something else.
You burnt my fucking premises.
You don't do that to another comic.
Okay, well, a comic does comedy.
What you did was hmm, let me think - hate speech? - Let me tell you something.
When we wake up from all this PC bullshit, we'll see what it looks like for you then, you fucking Nescafe, chamomile-sipping cunt.
You know what, Jason? You're a cunt.
I am sorry that you've been doing comedy for 15 fucking years and all you have to show for it is managing The Boston.
Twenty-two years! Twenty-two! Okay, um I think my Uber's here, so I'm gonna See ya, Pete.
Ah, look, you know It's gonna be fine.

And we're staying with my parents.
[MUSIC PLAYING.]
My best boy in the whole world! Hello, Mom and Dad.
Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! I'm so glad the Lord is using Peter's gift.
Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead.
Can you imagine if Jesus raised him and Lazarus came up like "Oh, man!" [AUDIENCE LAUGHS.]
What are you doing? She just told me to put on a bra.
Well, are you wearing a bra? It's not church, it's a comedy show.
In a church! [MUSIC CONCLUDES.]
- Whoa! Petey.
- What's going on? - What's up, buddy? Back from the - back from the college tour, right? - Yeah! Hey.
I'm, uh I'm back.
I don't care.
ALI: My boyfriend and I, we just took our relationship to the next level.
We broke up.
JASON: Women, you don't have to shave entirely.
Otherwise, it just feels like another part of the thigh.
If I'm going into a rough neighborhood, - I wanna know it.
- Oh, boy.
- Hey, hey.
- Yeah? I think women are f funny.
Spread the word.
What am I doing wrong? No one in here knows that you are the next Kevin Hart.
I'm not the next Kevin Hart.
Kevin Hart is Kevin Hart.
We have a Kevin Hart.
He's perfect for the part.
I'm just a I'm a club guy.
Shouldn't we hustle? Show's at eight.
There might be traffic.
Easy, Pete.
There's no show without us.
That starts on the way down, baby.
It's an attitude.
You gotta You gotta own this thing, you know? Pete the middle act drives.
Didn't I tell you that? The middle act drives, baby.
- Come on.
- Okay.
When I was starting out, I drove Jay Mohr.
Had to listen to "Who Let the Dogs Out?" 17 times.
The guy was obsessed.
Never let them see you sweat, Petey.
You're gonna be doing this for years.
You gotta learn to relax a little bit.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I I wasn't really sure what to do next, but I'm kind of saying yes to everything.
That's good, man.
That's what you gotta do.
You gotta get up when you can get up.
You gotta grind it.
That's my thinking.
I'm even, you know, sort of considering doing this, um, Christian tour.
I mean, it's not it's not a certain thing.
They just I did a show at a temple.
A woman said, "I think you'd be good for the religious market," - so I have an offer, but - Fuck that! Pete, I meant When I said everything, I didn't mean everything.
I mean real comedy.
Real.
Not some fucking whacked-out Jesus shit.
Right.
Yeah, no.
I'm not sure I'm gonna do it, either.
Good.
You gonna buckle up? [SIGHS.]
You know, the statistics are in.
Come on.
[HEAVY METAL BLARING ON STEREO.]
Let's roll, Petey! Can the pestilence within you be bled out? May I have the honor of this amputation? Know that you have made an enemy To show you the meaning of indignity I live now solely for the pleasure of your slow decay - [MUSIC STOPS.]
- JASON: Oh! Hi-yah! Whoa.
Whoa.
This is it? This is it.
What do you mean, "This is it?" You never stayed at the Comedy Club condo before? No.
Is this your first club weekend, your first full weekend? Yeah, I've only done one-nighters, colleges.
You are gonna love this here, man.
This is not like the city, where they have a bunch of entertainment options and nobody really cares that you're there.
Here, they're grateful you just showed up.
Get ready, baby.
This is it.
Do you like waitresses, Pete? Uh, yeah, I like when they call me "Hon.
" That's fun.
What the hell are you talking about, Pete? Why would you ever get into comedy if you don't want to bang waitresses? Wow.
It's like an assassin's hideout.
This is a hot scene, baby.
I've got good memories here, believe me.
- Look who it is.
- ALI: Ah! - Al.
Hey.
- Hey.
What are you Are you working this weekend? Yeah.
I mean, yeah, I just saw the lineup.

I'm surprised to, you know, see you in deep Jersey.
Yeah, I, um I'm still running that, - that late-night set.

I can make a bomb out of even a good thing.
Mm-hmm.
Oh! Fun fact.
There's a lot of cheese in the fridge.
Like, whoever was here before just left all the cheese.
Great, I'm starving.
[LAUGHS.]
Are you seriously gonna eat the cheese? - No! - [LAUGHING.]
: I really thought you were! I do not want to eat Pablo Francisco's cheese.

Deborah's gonna be taking care of you.
What happened to Richie? Remember Richie? Richie was a great guy.
I'm sorry, I don't know Richie.
I don't have any idea what occurred here before the club was acquired.
The guy was a blast, a lunatic, but a great guy.
He used to keep his gun on the desk when we settled up.
- Yeah, hold on.
- It was a bit.
Uh-huh.
No.
Yeah.
Right, it's a boneless wing.
Right.
But no, it's a wing.

You know, listen, I wasn't talking about your set specifically.
I'm talking about all of it.
- Mm.
- It's all bullshit.
If you were doing late-night, you wouldn't think it was bullshit.
Let me tell you something.
Late-night died with Letterman.
Late-night sets are now just YouTube videos with the Hyundai commercials you can't fucking skip.
That's what it is.
Nobody watches this shit anymore.

You know what I mean? It's a different It's a different vibe.

Ah How 'bout that? Pays to be the headliner, huh, Pete? [LAUGHTER.]
I don't like it.
I don't like the museum.
It's boring.
I don't want to go.
When I'm at the museum, I'm not looking at paintings to appreciate them.
I'm staring at the painting, trying to figure out how long is appropriate to look at it, so when I walk away, the other people in the room aren't like, - "Well, he didn't get it at all.
" - [LAUGHTER.]
So I make a real serious face.
I'm like, "Mm-mm.
Look at the brush strokes.
Oh, yeah.
" But in my head I'm just like, Honey Nut Cheerios! [LAUGHTER.]
Have 'em for breakfast or lunch, you decide! It's not even a real song.
Give it up for Jason Webber! [CHEERING, APPLAUDING.]
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
All right! What's up, fucker? - [CHEERING.]
- I don't know.
Listen.
Sometimes stereotypes are just kind of a reality, you know? So, that's not racism, you know? It's pattern recognition.
I mean, if you want to go see a film in a quiet theater, steer clear of Harlem, you know what I mean? We're all a little bit racist, right? I mean, who hasn't walked onto an airplane, seen a Chinese pilot and thought, "I'm gonna buckle up a little bit tighter.
" - [SCATTERED LAUGHTER.]
- What do you want from me? I mean, I don't know how to be a man sometimes, right? I mean, I'm not sure how to approach a woman, how to approach a girl, you know? We live in a time where, uh, you know, we're all on thin ice.
I mean, I don't know I don't know how What am I supposed to say, right? I mean, what's more creepy than asking a girl whether or not you can kiss her? "Hey, do you mind if I, um - "I mean, I just wanna - [LAUGHTER.]
"I'd like to take this "this one and this one and uhh, uhh.
Could I uhh!" You know, "Do you mind if I use tongue? Could you " You know, I don't know how to talk to a girl.
And how are we supposed to get into actual sex? I mean, do you write out a form and say, "Hey, do you mind if we, uh, do a little fucking? "Would you Is it okay if I put it in missionary? How about dog-style?" Do I say, "Hey do you mind if I, uh, slip this in?" "Oh, okay.
" "All right.
" "Do you mind if I, um Is it okay if I pull it out?" "Okay.
" "And do you mind if I speed it up? "Do you mind if I Yeah! Oh, oh! "Was that okay? Sorry, I didn't know.
"Is it okay? Is it not okay? Is it okay? Is it not okay?" [CELL PHONE BEEPING.]

- How was the show? - It was good.
I'm in a Comedy Condo.
I feel like I'm on a stakeout or in witness protection.
Hey, Pete, you're cutting out a little.
Sorry, can you hear me? - Um, yes.
Okay, yeah.
- There's like no cell service here.

Come on, Petey! We're gonna make it happen.
You're gonna love it.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING.]
Okay, good.
You're all here.
Um, I've been trying to get a hold of your manager.
I manage myself.
What do you think, I'm gonna pay someone ten percent to pick up a phone, maybe answer an e-mail? No, thanks.
Okay.
Well, I need you to middle tonight.
What are you talking about? I thought we had a nice flow.
We're gonna try something new.
Okay.
Hey, Pete, are you comfortable headlining tonight? - Uh, yeah, I can do 45.
- Okay.
What the fuck are you talking about? We received complaints about your set, okay? - Comment cards? - No.
Yelp.
- Yelp.
- Yes, Yelp.
We dropped a full half-star in one night.
We take that very, very seriously.
Yelp.
Really? You dropped half a star and you're gonna give these fucking jerk-offs the power? If somebody's a pussy, fuck 'em! Honestly, you should just be happy we're keeping you on the show at all, if you can tone it down.
If I can tone it Did you see that room? Who do you think packed that room? We papered the house.
That was our mailing list.
We gave them free tickets.
This is This is bullshit.
This This is bullshit.
- PETE: Jay - Uh-huh.
No, yeah.
Well, it is in the system under "open food.
" Hold on.
Yes? Um, I was just wondering if maybe I should headline.
'Cause, uh, I'm not trying to, like, overstep my boundaries.
It's just that I have more credits, and, you know, I didn't get complaints.
- [LAUGHS.]
So - Yeah.
Actually, the owner did have some suggestions for you.
Oh, really? Wa-Was he here? He watches on a livestream from Florida, so - Oh.
- Mainly, just the global note is just have more enthusiasm overall.
Have fun with it, you know, smile more.
Right? - Smile more? - Yeah.
[LAUGHING.]
: Oh! Just did it.
I just feel like right now, it feels like you're pretending to want to read the announcements, and I want you to want to read the announcements.

- Oh, okay, yeah.
Great.
Good luck, everyone.
Have a good show.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
Smile more.
Cool.
I'm sorry, Al.
And I thought you smiled just the right amount.
JASON: It's code, sweetheart.
It means they want a bubbly chick to open the show.
It's tits and teeth.
Dude, you just got demoted to middle.
How are you lecturing me? Tits and teeth, that's all you are.
- [LAUGHTER.]
- Um, two drink specials tonight.
We've got the Chuckle Shackery and the Jack and Joke.
It's, uh Yeah.
And, uh, for an extra ten dollars, you can get it served to you in a laugh carafe.
You should definitely do that if you're utter trash.
[LAUGHTER.]
All right.
Well, now that I only have three minutes left, I guess I'll start my set.
I'm eating into the time as I speak.
Um You know, I think I'm gonna do some new material tonight.
- [CHEERS, APPLAUSE.]
- How do you guys feel about that? I just have to say I don't get these idiots who don't understand the concept of consent.
They're like, "I have to ask if she wants a dick in her? Wait, what? That's gonna totally throw off my momentum.
" [LAUGHTER.]
You ask questions all goddamn day.
You go to McDonald's, you say, "Hi.
"I don't want pickles on my burger.
Can I make sure that there are no pickles on my burger?" It shouldn't be daunting to say to a woman, "Hey, can I put my pickle in your burger?" [LAUGHTER.]
She's torpedoing my act.
ALI: Women love questions.
- Right? They love them.
- [APPLAUSE.]
I get off on questions.
"Can I take you to dinner?" [MOANS.]
You know? "Do you wanna meet my parents?" "Yes!" You know? "Can I fuck you?" [MOANS.]
"Now you can!" Guys, this has been such a treat.
I'm gonna bring up your middle for the evening.
- Are you guys ready for your middle? - [CHEERS, APPLAUSE.]
Oh, my God.
That's so wonderful.
You're gonna love him.
He is a delight and a half.
Give it up for Jason Webber.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
What's up, fuckers? How about a hand for Ali Reissen? Or maybe a fist, that'll loosen her up.
- [SCATTERED LAUGHTER.]
- [WOMAN GROANS.]
Nyah! Nyah! Nyah! [CHUCKLES.]
Anyway, um You know, listen.
Consent, you know.
She's "Oh, consent is so easy.
We all get it.
" I don't know, you know? I'm not sure we all do get it.
Right? I mean, it used to be you got it, you know? I mean Is there anything more creepy than asking a girl to kiss her? "Hey, do you mind if I put these on-on " [MURMURS.]
You know? And how we gonna make sex happen? Now you gotta ask outright, "Hey, do you mind if I put it in? "Hey, Sweet Pea, are we gonna do it missionary or dog-style?" [SCATTERED LAUGHTER.]
"Hey, do you mind if I insert?" - [GRUNTS.]
- [AUDIENCE SILENCE.]
"Do you mind if I insert this?" I mean And then her And then once you get it in, it's like, "Do you mind if I take it out?" And what about it when I put it in? Do you You know, what do I do here? - And, huh? I'm - [SILENCE.]
