[Bit 1]

This is a, I hope you'll indulge me for a minute.

This is a very emotional, emotional night for me here tonight, gang.

I think most of you know that when I was 12 years old,

I murdered my parents.

And what sparked it was we were out in the garage one day.

I was with my mom and my dad.

We were a hockey family.

I caught my dad making love to my mother wearing goalie pads.

And we're out in the garage.

12 years old, I said to my parents,

I wanna be a standup comedian.

And my dad just looked at me mockingly and he said, "What are you talking about, you

idiot?

What do you think you're going to play a sold-out Madison Square Gardens one day?"

That's when I took the goalie stick and beat his brains in.

We were a canoe family.

My dad had a collection of canoe paddles hanging on the wall.

I had one from Cambodia, from the Nuntadtuk region,

down by the Mughang River.

And I grabbed that Korean fucking Mongolian fucking

shucky cheese canoe paddle.

And I beat the life out of my mother, and guess what?

Here I am at a sold out Madison Square Garden.
