- Yeah, you should give me a round of applause

for getting up here 'cause this is a pain, yes.

Yeah, they did.

All right, yeah, so my name's Rich Castaldo.

[Bit 1]

At least it was until I got to Ellis Island.

They're like, "Castle what?"

We don't understand what that is.

So they shortened it to Dick Castle,

because it sounds more American.

[Bit 2]

Anyway, so, yeah, I'm doing a sit-down comedy.

And I say that, and I know it's stupid and lazy,

but, you know, we're here, so...

Anyway...

[Bit 3]

Anyway, so people ask me why I'm in a wheelchair all the time, which is kind of annoying.

I stick to government sanctions stuff, liquor, porn.

Yeah, there you go.

OK, that's about correct.
