advice for my daughter
uh top of the morning to you standard redhead joke that everybody's done a zillion
time all
right i want to thank you in advance for any advice you have for me or my
daughter
my daughter is third i'm gonna say it the whole way through is 13 and doesn't
have many interests
at least none that she is willing to stick with well she's only 13 dude the
fuck she's gonna pick a career you're screaming at her every night is it gonna
be finance you're
gonna be a nurse however there seems to be one subject that keeps coming coming
up uh that she
asks my help with and that's comedy she's a funny and incredibly sarcastic kid
my favorite type of
humor well she probably got it from you then yeah i was just about to say yeah
oh because she's daddy's
little sarcastic girl and she wants to learn how to write jokes i have searched
for classes but
they appear to be given at a comedy club and i don't think they would want a 13
year old girl around
you wouldn't want to bring a 13 year old girl down to a comedy club they've got
a person like a sailor
they've got to have some kids programs don't they do that let me finish before
you come in here with
your wisdom can you recommend any kind of book or video class that she can
study i've seen a lot of
material but i'm not sure what will help her get started big fan and appreciate
any suggestions that
you may have and if you read this on the advice show please give me a heads up
i will have her how
the fuck would i give you i don't know who you are what is the advice show let
her hear it directly
from you and not shittily passed along from her moron father and i would like
to count how many
mistakes you made reading this letter i kept the well you want to talk about
mistakes dude when you said
at least none that she's willing you spelt none n-o-n all right fucko i kept
the word small for your
illiterate ginger ass they're such arrogant cunts maybe this is why your
daughter doesn't like to
share interest because you're kind of a prick no yes you know what it is he's
worried that i'm gonna
shit on him so he's gonna shit on me first so anyways uh first of all emerson
college all of a sudden now
you can major in comedy i heard that tonight yeah which kind of makes sense
considering uh the comedic
legends that have graduated from the school no just such as bill burr just the
tickets that comics are
selling when i started out there was a handful of people playing theaters and
that would be like george
carlin bill cosby uh see i'm already forgetting i mean maybe those guys that
had their tv shows and
when i started seinfeld still hadn't become a hit yet so he was probably just
selling out clubs
maybe roseanne bar if she gave a enough at that point because roseanne was
still going but there
was a i mean it was a short short short list and now there's like a zillion
people out there it seems
they're all playing theaters they're all writing new hours and everything like
i don't there's never
been a more prolific time so i think they're finally seeing it when like how
many comics have sold out
madison square garden like that was like it was like eddie murphy did it dice
clay did it and then
dane cook did it so there was like a there was two guys in the 80s nobody in
the 90s that i knew of
no comic in the 90s that i know of that that wasn't well eddie had already
stopped dice maybe did it in 1990
but uh seinfeld no i don't think yeah he was doing the show um that was when a
lot of yeah comics were
doing their own tv shows yeah tim allen yeah i don't know how it happened but
all of a sudden now
you know there's like like i think i know like five people that sold the thing
out so
it might it's now a uh it's it's finally i think comedy well maybe that they're
having is like comedy
writing in that but i always look at it as like being a comedian it's actually
a a a it's a career
now where people used to kind of look at it even though it always was a career
but it was always kind
of viewed as like it was this stepping stone to get a sitcom i find it strange
that like you major in
comedy it's cool but it's like it's such a weird thing so they're probably it
is weird do you have to be
funny in like your application and like right exactly they probably do like the
acting program
where you have to do some material they're probably study all like the history
of comedy
from the very beginning like vaudeville up until now they watch a ton of
specials they probably have
to write so that kind of like when i did emerson and i graduated with a media
arts degree right
we watched a shitload of movies we wrote a lot of papers about it that's
probably what they're going
to do they have to do some sort of performance right well right now i would say
his question was
what can you do now i would just say what city are they did they say what city
they're in i don't
know listen i would just say just watch as many comedians as you can or watch
as many comedies as you
can uh depending if you want to be a writer or something like that i mean these
these are the fun
years like there's no like you're 13 i mean it's not like exactly it'll
probably change it should be
enjoy no but it should be enjoyable it should be enjoyable yeah why are you
trying to make it a
career for her already no he loves her no i know i know i'm just joking but
also um they do improv
classes for people that age that's a good fun thing to do don't do don't take
an improv class at 13.
why that's like teaching a kid how to throw a curveball they're too young well
if you try to teach
a kid when he's too young to throw a curveball and he let me finish you're
interrupting me here
they're uh they get the tommy john surgery now what now you're gonna pout on me
i'm not pouting
there you are that's your pout face is this my pout yeah i was trying i had a
nice reference there
about throwing the curveball it was going well and you you were jumping in on
me so i decided to
defend myself and now you know what's gonna happen you're gonna you're within
three more
dumb things of me saying of doing that thing where you cross your arms and you
look in the
other direction my arms are already half crossed i know and then i say what's
wrong and you go nothing
nothing's wrong something's wrong you got your arms crossed i don't understand
what
her going to an improv class is is why is that a bad idea because a lot of
those improv uh theaters
they also do comedy writing workshops and all that kind of stuff i'll tell you
why because anybody
she learned how to perform who's in comedy and their job is to teach 13 year
olds how to do improv
they stink they married a rich guy and they're bored and now they think oh
maybe this is my talent
and they're going to teach you more this is this is what you do teachers not
when i was 13. not when
you were 13. that this is what you do when i was 13 but hang out with your
friends and joke around and
be funny and find out the movies that you know make your generation laugh just
do that just this this is
the this should be fun it should be fun yeah that's a good point shouldn't be
you know turning this into
like the sports dads which was the reference where they teach them how to throw
a curveball at 13.
and the movement that you do when you throw it you're snapping your wrists like
that the tendons in
their arms are still growing or whatever i don't know what it is medically but
they their arm is not
strong enough to do it and these kids need tommy john surgery which is
basically you take a ligament out of
your leg and replace it in the elbow from they should be skipping rocks across
the a lake you
know the advice that i gave no you're absolutely right the advice i gave holy
can you say that again
what that's all right i have it recorded good oh when i said that you're right
you said absolutely
right i don't think i've ever heard that uh the advice i just gave is the kind
of advice my my dad would
give where he'd be like we'll get into a class and take this and do this
writing thing and he would
make it this whole big stage regimented thing well there's a time and place for
that and it's not when
you're 13. 13 yeah you should be walking home from school if they didn't have
you believing there's
a pedophile behind every tree you should be goofing off with your friends and
and just you should know
how to make people laugh you should just be making people laugh you don't want
to break it down
and be like oh i just made my my 13 year old friend laugh let's see let's look
at the setup and what
was the punch line you're gonna start doing right oh here comes my you know
what we do today at school
you know what i do today yeah 13. i'm gonna work on my misdirections
dad you wouldn't believe it i tagged this whole thing about the lunch lady you
don't want to do
that just fucking suck all the fun out of it exactly just i would say watch the
legends of today like
melissa mccarthy kristen wig whatever the fuck you're into and uh yeah i don't
know i don't know what to
tell you that's what i would do that's good advice yeah i don't stick her in a
comedy class oh jesus file
that under oh jesus comedy what is it webster's dictionary defines comedy as
what is this thing that we call comedy
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.

And there will be times when we want to give up.
But it is during those moments that we must dig deep and find the strength to
keep going.
Believe in yourself and trust in your abilities.
You are capable of more than you know.
And when you encounter a challenge, remember that it is not the end, it is
simply an opportunity to learn and grow.
Life is not always fair, but it is always worth it.
Every struggle, every struggle, every struggle, every struggle, every obstacle
we overcome makes us stronger and more resilient.
And when we finally achieve our goals, the sense of accomplishment and pride is
all the sweeter.
So don't be afraid to dream big and pursue your passions.
And when things get tough, remind yourself why you started and keep pushing
forward.
together, together, we can accomplish it together, together we can accomplish
anything.
And let me remind you, success is not defined by the destination, but the
journey.
The process of working hard, failing, learning and trying again is what shapes
us as individuals and helps us to become the best versions of ourselves.
So embrace the challenges, embrace the struggles, embrace the failures, they
are all necessary steps on the path to success.
And when you feel like giving up, remember that you are not alone.
We all face difficulties and we all have the power to overcome them.
And most importantly, remember that the only person you need to compete with is
the person you were yesterday.
So set your goals, make a plan and take action.
Every day is an opportunity to make progress and become the best version of
yourself.
So I urge you to believe in yourself, to have faith in your abilities and to
never give up.
You have within you the power to achieve greatness.
Now go out there and make it happen.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
