Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: This is where my anxiety baby's at.
- 0:04SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 0:04SPEAKER_00: Listen how loud you are.
- 0:07SPEAKER_00: We're mixing drinks and medication tonight, aren't we?
- 0:12SPEAKER_00: That's where those moves come in.
- 0:14SPEAKER_00: Because anytime I ask that question, people are usually like, eh.
- 0:18SPEAKER_00: I have a I have anxiety.
- 0:21SPEAKER_00: Not here, not LA.
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: You guys are like, I'm a professional.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: I'm eight white claws and two Xanax in, babe.
- 0:29SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
- 0:32SPEAKER_00: I have anxiety.
- 0:33SPEAKER_00: I have a very specific form of anxiety.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: I have what is called panic disorder, which means that I don't have generalized anxiety, but I will go from having a completely normal day to a full-blown, I'm gonna die panic attack in like less than 30 seconds, right?
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: The best way I can describe it, it's like I have two halves of my brain, okay?
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: I have the anxiety half of my brain, and then I have the logical half of my brain, alright?
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: And anxiety is like, hey, everything's on fire, you're gonna die one day, so I'm just gonna make that day today, and uh I'm gonna start shutting shit down, alright?
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: And logic tries to talk it down, okay?
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: Logic tries, but for whatever reason, logic has like Amber Heard's lawyer.
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: Logic's out here objecting to its own statements.
- 1:28SPEAKER_00: Logic's like, you're fine, take your pills.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: Objection hearsay.
- 1:32SPEAKER_00: Are we dying or what, man?
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: Now's out of time.
- 1:37SPEAKER_00: I will, I'll be having a total.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: I'm just watching TV and all of a sudden anxiety just speaks up, right?
- 1:42SPEAKER_00: Anxiety's like, uh, hey Mayor, um, are we breathing funny?
- 1:50SPEAKER_00: Don't feel like maybe our rhythm is a little bit off.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: And logic tries.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: He's like, no, no, no, no, no, we're not breathing funny.
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: Hey, breathing exercises, all right?
- 1:59SPEAKER_00: In for four seconds, hold for four seconds, out for four seconds.
- 2:02SPEAKER_00: Okay, he's like, no, no, no, I'm past that.
- 2:04SPEAKER_00: I'm starting to get lightheaded, man.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: You know what I think we should do?
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: I think we should Google how many breaths per minute the average person takes.
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah, yeah.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: And then start a timer and then we'll count to that number.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: And then if we're on par, I'll go right to bed.
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: He's like, okay, we're not gonna do that.
- 2:20SPEAKER_00: Because the last time we did that, we ended up in the ER.
- 2:23SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: So, hey, grounding techniques, all right?
- 2:27SPEAKER_00: Just name five things you can see, all right?
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: Calm down.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: He's like, You know, I love it.
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: We need something to calm down.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: But I set this entire fucking place on fire.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: What you want?
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: Because we can die today, bitch.
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: And that's when logic snaps.
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: And logic's like, no, no, no, don't set it on fire.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: You know what?
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: I didn't feel a little, I didn't feel a little bit latehead.
- 2:45SPEAKER_01: I didn't feel like maybe we should just lit.
- 2:47SPEAKER_01: Like, maybe we should just call them a mummy because we are definitely dying.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: That's how you end up on Lexapro.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: I did that joke in West Virginia recently, and no one laughed.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: Which I call bullshit, to be honest with you.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: I am in West Virginia.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: The sheer amount of Mountain Dew consumed in that state.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: You got four teeth in your whole head.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: You tell me you've never had a shaky chest, I don't buy it.
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: I did have uh I had one guy in the front row who's very concerned, uh, but very confused.
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: And he looks at me and he just goes, Are they your sponsor?
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: I was like, are you asking if I'm legally obligated to mention Lexabro in my stand-up set?
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: Like, no, but what a life goal.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: Oh my god! I feel like as a stand-up comedian, I should be the face of an anti-anxiety, antidepressant medication.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: Like that would be perfect.
- 3:57SPEAKER_00: It could just be like me, kind of offstage, sad, you know, just like, you know, as a comedian.
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: Life isn't always funny.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: But I got my punchlines back with Lexapro.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: Nah, dude, my parents fucked me up.
- 4:26SPEAKER_00: That's why I'm all weird about having emotions.
- 4:29SPEAKER_00: I wasn't allowed to have emotions.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: You kidding me?
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: Like, I especially wasn't allowed to cry.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: My dad said the same thing to me that I'm sure your dad said to you.
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: If you don't stop crying, I'm gonna give you something to cry about.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: That right there, yep, that right there, my friends, is called generational trauma.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: Okay, if you've ever said, I don't need therapy, and then you completed that sentence, you need therapy.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: My dad was the worst.
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: I remember the one time I was crying and crying and crying, and I couldn't stop crying, and he just snapped on me.
- 5:02SPEAKER_01: He just goes, Hey, quit crying.
- 5:05SPEAKER_01: Crying is gay.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: I was like, but you're confused about why there's so many different sexual orientations?
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because every time a millennial cries, we're like, I don't know, am I gay?
- 5:22SPEAKER_01: I might be gay, no, I don't like women.
- 5:26SPEAKER_01: Is there another option?
- 5:30SPEAKER_01: Can you just add a letter for me?
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: My dad actually passed away two years ago, he did.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: And uh, I'm gonna talk about it, so I just want to let you guys know two things.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: Number one, everything I'm about to say is 100% true.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: And number two, not laughing or getting weird and uptight and uncomfortable is not gonna make my dad any less dead.
- 5:57unknown: Alright?
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: So everyone go ahead and loosen your assholes.
- 6:07SPEAKER_00: I'll say this.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: I think that having a parent die has got to be the fastest way to figure out which of your friends cannot cook.
- 6:19SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: My friends are bringing me like lasagnas and shit, and they're like, oh my god, cooking should be the last thing on your mind right now.
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: And I'd taste it and be like, was it the last thing on yours?
- 6:33SPEAKER_00: How'd you fuck up noodles?
- 6:39SPEAKER_00: It's wild, dude.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: We actually uh we found out that my dad had another kid, which is crazy, right?
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: You always hear about that happening, like, mmm, we're not that trashy.
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: Uh it happens, and you're like, God damn it, dude.
- 6:56SPEAKER_00: We found out my dad had another kid on the same day that I had to write his obituary.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's a messed up day to begin with, okay?
- 7:04SPEAKER_00: And my mom, she throws us a little curveball and she just goes, Well, Mayor, are you gonna include the guy in the obituary?
- 7:11SPEAKER_00: I think he has a right to be in there.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: I was like, mom.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: This is supposed to be like a loving, heartfelt.
- 7:19SPEAKER_00: What would that would I just be like?
- 7:20SPEAKER_00: Anthony Santoras Sr.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: was survived in life by his children.
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: Anthony Jr., Mary Lynn, and Carl?
- 7:32SPEAKER_00: He seems nice, we just met him.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: Not really sure, you know.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: And it's funny because they say hindsight's 2020.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: So now looking back on that situation from childhood, it makes so much more sense.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: Because I thought we were watching shows like Maury and Jerry Springer just because we were poor and didn't have cable.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: Turns out dad was just showing us game tape.
- 7:59SPEAKER_00: My dad and I actually had a very tumultuous relationship.
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: He and I fought a lot, okay?
- 8:03SPEAKER_00: And the one thing we fought about more than anything else was stand-up comedy.
- 8:07SPEAKER_00: He hated that I did stand-up comedy, okay?
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: And he wasn't a nice guy about it.
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: He'd be like, the fuck are you doing with your life?
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: You're driving all over hell, no one knows who you are, no one gives a shit.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: You need to give this up and get a real fucking job.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: Now, in my dad's defense, I did drop out of pharmacy school to become a stand-up comedian, okay?
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: So I should have been making$150,000 a year at CVS.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: And I now I'm like, yeah, you guys, you guys can follow me on TikTok.
- 8:33SPEAKER_00: I don't give a shit.
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: 34 years old alone in my house.
- 8:38SPEAKER_00: I'm set.
- 8:42SPEAKER_00: So he's probably got a point.
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: Uh but before my dad passed away, we were able to sit down and have a really long heart-to-heart, and I was very glad that we had that opportunity.
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: Okay?
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: But even after that, it was still hard to forgive him for some things.
- 8:58SPEAKER_00: Because, like, my dad left my family when I was 11 years old, okay?
- 9:02SPEAKER_00: Gone when I was eleven.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: And he also died from COVID two years ago.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: We think that he contracted COVID at the grocery store, making it the second time in my life that my dad has gone out for milk and never come back.
- 9:34SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure it's why I'm lactose intolerant.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: Okay, this giant person.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: Uh, when we had that Heart to Heart, he told me he wanted to lose some weight.
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: So I was like, hell yeah, dude, let's do it.
- 9:50SPEAKER_00: Let's work out together.
- 9:51SPEAKER_00: And he was doing great.
- 9:52SPEAKER_00: At the beginning of it, he fit into like a 6X.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: And by the end of it, he fit into like a four-inch urn.
- 10:04SPEAKER_00: That was that was the one that was too much.
- 10:08SPEAKER_00: I said, just don't groan.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: I get why are you groaning?
- 10:14SPEAKER_00: My dad finally hit his goal weight.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: All it took was for someone to light a fire under his ass.
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: Oh shit.
- 10:29SPEAKER_00: He finally got that smoke in our body he always wanted.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: You haven't laughed once.
- 10:37SPEAKER_00: My father was cremated.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: Do you understand?
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: She now, she gets it.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: She gets it.
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: Listen, guys, I've been doing those jokes for two years now.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: I've had every reaction to those jokes.
- 10:50SPEAKER_00: It's mostly what you gave me.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: You guys don't know who the hell I am.
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: You came out to have a good time.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: You're like, what the fuck is this?
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: I get that.
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: But then I also know there's people in the audience who have dead parents, whose parents might have even died from COVID.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: And they're sitting out there like, fuck yeah, never stop doing these jokes.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: No one told me about the shitty lasagna.
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: But then I had one reaction I had absolutely no idea what to do with.
- 11:11SPEAKER_00: Okay, I was doing these jokes in Cleveland, Ohio, where I am from.
- 11:14SPEAKER_00: Alright?
- 11:15SPEAKER_00: Same jokes you guys heard.
- 11:16SPEAKER_00: Halfway through the set, some dude in the back of the room yells out, cuts me off.
- 11:21SPEAKER_01: And he just goes, Too soon!
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: I was just like, oh shit, Carl's that human?
- 11:31SPEAKER_01: That's it for me, guys.
- 11:32SPEAKER_01: Thank y'all so much.
- 11:33SPEAKER_01: My name's Mary Santora!
