Thank you, all right.

Well, I'll introduce myself.

My name is Ray Easter.

[Bit 1]

That is my real last name.

It's not a stage name.

I think I would have picked something better, but I had one.

You know it was really tough growing up

with that last name in school, because you

get made fun of a lot.

I remember I used to get called names in class

like Easter Bunny, Easter Basket, Pussy.

Those were only the names my teachers came up with,

So unfortunately, but it's fucking rough being homeschooled,

you know?

It's just--

Thank you.

I like telling that joke, and usually people

will come up to me at the show.

And they're like, oh no, were you really homeschooled?

I'm like, no, but I was a pussy though.

So it was a little bit of truth.

I have a joke.

[Bit 2]

I get this question asked a lot though.

Oh, is that your favorite holiday?

No, go fuck yourself.

It's not.

But it will take my least favorite holiday though,

and that is Halloween.

I'll have to explain why.

Or I won't.

- Go ahead, explain why.

- Yeah, yeah, hold on.

- Explain why, explain why.

- Explain why, all right.

I was like one of the only black kids

in like an all white neighborhood.

So every Halloween I had a very limited choice

of costume options.

Like I remember one year I went up

one of my white friends and I was like, hey, white friend, I'm thinking about going to

Superman this year. He was like, what? And you can't go as Superman, dude. Superman wasn't

black. There you go. There you go. Yeah, that's a yeah, we that's that's why it's 60. Great.
