## Caption

My comedy special comes out tonight on HBO. Thank you to Bo and Chris for encouraging me to go back to Alabama to make it. Thank you to Alli for discovering the show and Ravi at A24 for believing in it. Thank you to the folks at HBO for being so down to let me and Clay go ham. Thanks to Olivia for seeing me do a bit almost 10 years ago where I drank water out of a bottle cap and thinking “yep he’s got it”. Thanks to my good pal Ted for lining crap up. Thanks to my best friend and partner since 1999, Clay, for hitting record and never owning more than one DV tape so we had to land our tricks or do our bit right the first time. Thank you to my girlfriend Mitra for inspiring me every day and making me laugh and kissing me. Thank you to the folks in for Yacht for producing my record and making me sound cool. Thanks to Budd, Rod, Clay, Evan, Joe, and Jeramy for starting powerviolence with me. Thanks to all the weirdo comedy scenes all over the place for putting me on shows and hanging out with me. Thanks to Alabama and my family and my cousins Jenny and Wilks. Most of all, thanks to my big brother Johnny for teaching me how to be a good guy. I’ve copied you since day one. Without you I’d be a very boring person. I wouldn't even know about Blink 182. The other night I realized that my four year old nephew was in the crowd at the Florabama dancing around watching his dad and uncle play music on the same stage I’d watch my mom and aunt play when I was his age. It’s weird to wrap my head around all this. I’ve poured my heart and soul into it in a way that I think would make my mom proud. She’s gone but hopefully she lives on through this thing. I put “He’s Hot” by Syntwister on YouTube. Please go check it out and imagine being a kid standing in the sand, squinting into the sunlight, watching my mom play her horny songs with her sister. That’s what this is all about. ❤️💃🏻💃🏻
