[Bit 1]

Hello. Has anyone got crap nicknames?

Show of hands if they have a crap nickname?

No?

Just me? Fuck you guys. All right.

No, I just wanted to say, 'cause, like, you know,

when you get a crap nickname, like Boogerface

or, like, Numpy or something horrible like that...

Jelly Roll.

Maybe you could attest. Maybe you could attest.

But it always comes from the ones you love.

You know what I mean? It's never from people you hate.

Like, my granddad, when I was a fat kid,

called me Buster Bacon.

Not as bad as my little brother.

He called him Adolf.

And his justification for that was,

is whenever he screamed, he got exactly what he wanted.

I mean, he could have called him Donald.

It would have worked the same.

It's all right, though. My dad sealed the name deal

with my brother,

because my brother came out of the closet

And his name's Benedict.

That's already -- I'm British.

My brother's name's Benedict. I'm already at a good start.

And my brother on the couch just yells,

"Dad, the door is ringing."

And my dad just goes, "Yeah, Benedict!"
