3:20 um it's arizona's kind of like it's boring out there so you got to create like kind of create your own fun and a lot of people just do ████ like skateboarding was the thing for me uh playing guitar you know all these other things and obviously cheerleading you know that's the ████ that i like you know really starting arizona not kentucky no that started arizona okay are you an arizona cardinals fan i didn't don't i don't really care there you go hey there you go you didn't get the game you ever watched a super bowl like this just at home ████ turn away
4:10 that's what you're used to yeah that's what i used to do but i could hear everything yeah that's cool what's your first down first step so you said you got adopted by a white family when you're 16. uh yeah my teens yeah roughly how did that happen oh that whole thing um you know rich like i said originally i was with my biological mom and my stepfather but stepfather was crazy and abusive and then this family i already knew the family and they just took me in oh wow how did you know were they like your friends or relatives i actually owned the cheerleading gym that i cheered at whoa yeah yeah so that's how i met them so that's why cheerleading is such a it's like a thing for you oh yeah in many many ways it saved my life what's that conversation with your mom like because you're like yo i want to go with these people no it wasn't he wasn't even that my stepfather had kicked me out oh ████
5:01 you know what i mean yeah he didn't it was funny because he uh he was because he thought i wasn't going to survive i was like ████ i got this i know white people don't i'll be white people you know how many white people you ████ know i was like i got white people on my side no so i actually wasn't i i was actually super thrilled that he had kicked me out because he uh he kicked me out he tried he tried to tell me to pack my ████ and then he's i remember he slapped my bag out of my hand it was like he's like you ain't going nowhere with your simple ass and i was like man i got plenty of places to go you know i was all ████ flossing and ████ and then when i said that he got like superheated you know started like swinging at me i was like ████ i got this now you know what i'm saying like i know i know your ████ moves dog and then so
5:51 so i ran out of the house and ran to his his mom um which i considered her my grandma uh lived across the street and so i rented her house was like yo go get him cause he was terrified of her everyone oh really yeah he was terrified of her and then she i think she just over the years like she just got exhausted she was getting older and then eventually kicked me out and i was like ████ yes i was like pursuit of happiness like will smith just ████ when he gets the job [Laughter] oddly enough my stepfather and i were actually cool now yeah yeah we're actually cool now yeah yeah so how does that happen how did that work yeah you know i started when i started on the when i started doing jokes about about him and i noticed
6:43 [Laughter] i noticed when i would do the jokes um it sounded like i was upset and i was like man why i said why is this joke not working and you know just being a comedian trying to like really work out the ████ i was like oh i sound like i'm mad i sound like i'm still like upset like it doesn't sound so it's uncomfortable for the audience oh you can't get on board with like drama not like you're laughing at it and then what i did is i went like all the way back and basically understood all this ████ and i had to understand him which i didn't which i never took the time to do that's crazy so once i understood his story then it was easy for me to transition and be like cool with them once you understood his story where you're like oh that's why i got kicked out yeah yeah i was like oh damn yeah no yeah i understood everything like
7:33 and honestly this may weird be weird for you know for people to hear but yeah i don't i don't take any of it all that ████ that happened i don't take it personal yeah because it was just like oh that ████ that no i'm not trying to justify what he did or like you know henderson i'm not trying to like i thought you were sorry you're about to walk out i felt it you were like hey hey you're gonna change room change so you're an advocate for step violence stepmother violence yeah yeah no in a lot of ways you know and i do have to give them credit because i i learned a lot of things that i you know i mean just how to be comfortable with myself and as an individual uh to understand that everybody has a story everybody comes from something crazy some people don't figure it out some people do
8:23 i feel blessed to be able to figure out so why should i be mad at him wow that's awesome man yeah speaking of mad we're at the 8 minute 27 second mark of the video this is usually when we start turning up the heat and stuff so you keep on so how bad did he beat you just what kind of combination what kind of [Laughter] but you did mention anger management a lot what was like the most uh angry experience that like triggered it so you had to go to a lot of them okay what's the most ████ up thing you did oh i when i yeah i tried to fight my teachers whoa yeah i tried to fight like a bunch of teachers like in high school yeah high school yeah that was a guy i went to anger management three times the third time worked third time working what is it uh is it a program or like you go to a class or is it like rehab yeah yeah and then since you like
9:14 basically having like one-on-one sessions with uh a person that is a professional and helping people deal with anger was it a different person each time yeah each time i went yeah and uh yeah the first you beat up the first two and then i actually i actually ████ missed i missed it i swung so many ████ times and missed every single one where were you fighting boxers [Laughter] she's like ████ i got you i got you figured out i see that swing coming yeah today's video is brought to you by expressvpn when do we decide to stop up holding free speech as a basic human right what's playing out right now at the big tech companies and social media
10:05 sites sets a dangerous precedent look it doesn't matter what your politics are or who you voted for everyone should have the right to express themselves freely sadly the big tech monopoly has opted instead for silencing tactics and censorship to fight back against big text control of the internet i use expressvpn ever wondered how free to access tech giants make all their money well it's by tracking your searches video history and everything that you click on by building a profile on you and then selling off your sensitive data when you use the expressvpn app on your computer or phone you anonymize your online presence by hiding your ip address that makes your activity much more difficult to trace and sell to those advertisers what's more expressvpn encrypts a hundred percent of
10:56 your network data to protect you from eavesdroppers and cybercriminals what i like most is how easy it is to use it just takes one click to protect all of your devices that's why expressvpn is rated number one by business insider so let's stop allowing big tech to revoke our rights to free speech why not revoke their right to your data instead secure your internet with the vpn i trust for online protection visit expressvpn.com off the record that's e-x-p-r-e-s-s-v-p-n dot com slash off the record to get three extra months free with my exclusive link go to expressvpn.com off the record right now to go learn more ████ ████ yeah when you hear about people acting out now like obviously you have a much different perspective because most people they'll see that on the news and just go what a little ████ ruffian or whatever
11:47 but for you you're like oh i i see their trauma this is coming from oh yeah yeah you can see the trauma totally totally like anytime like anyone i i just it like immediately just i know exactly where it comes from you know based off of the knowledge that i've gained uh i don't like not specific detail where it comes from it's like oh they have some past ████ they they haven't ████ uh worked out yet you could just tell what do you think worked for the uh at the third time when you went like what uh the third time um i think what worked was the fact that he took things uh shout out to chip he took things about me and basically use those tools to help me with my anger like it was a different person each time yeah it was a different person each time and i think with chip like he he knew i was a fan of punk rock music punk rock and hardcore music and so he based in he knew i was a
12:39 fan of henry rollins you know like that's who i idolized and so basically he took things about henry and was because henry was like an angry dude as well but he goes but look what he's doing now you know where he transitioned his anger and they also help me understand that like my anger would never leave you know i think the earlier stages of anger management i think they were just like you're angry trying to suppress you yeah yeah exactly and they were trying to like like get rid of it but no anger's a thing that everybody ████ have i load it up on my ball so i can shoot it out through my dick yeah yeah it's pretty effective too yeah some people say yeah some say joe has a problem yeah we need to meet up with chips you need to meet up with chip though yeah so were you in your management when you were with uh your white parents uh yes i was uh but the third time was
13:30 when i was cheering in college in texas you know wow the anger management went all the way into college yeah i tried to beat up someone on the on my team were they asking for it though oh yeah what's she asking is she asking [Laughter] what does she do when i think of cheerleaders jenna do i know there's guys on the team but whenever you say cheerleaders i see you in like 10 blonde hotties petite hotties yeah and he's just launching them dude no naughties at all no knives allowed just and you're just being a ████ drill sergeant to all these girls yeah that was that was my life but yeah the third time was that yeah was in college when you're in a club like that because dude i was in in the improv community and everyone's just ████ each other yeah are you guys just pounding away at each other yeah these questions aren't really
14:20 turning up yeah uh i'll explain like this like okay so being a straight dude my subconscious nod yeah uh because i'm not really a ████ kiss and tell kind of person but being a straight man and cheerleading is the best and like you got to think you're around especially if you're good especially if you're good they look up to you yeah and then also like you got to realize there's there's a lot of gay dudes there's more gay dudes on the ████ team than straight dudes so it's like you're in a win-win situation good numbers yeah good ratio situation everyone loves you yeah yes yes so would you say like let's say you go into high school and you're trying to get laid it's better to be a cheerleader than a football player um
15:10 you have all the information just answer that because i heard that being a male nursing student is better like if you suck if you suck in football ain't no girl looking at you but if you suck at cheerleading straight yeah but what if a girl doesn't know football and she doesn't know that you suck at football she knows you're on the team you just see the jersey crowd reaction crowd reaction oh okay because they talk yeah crowd reaction yeah they can see yeah okay so you have been through a lot of things yeah and you uh including cheerleaders [Laughter] russian books i ████ see it on his face and you have you have a a very very composed head on your shoulders where you can like make up with like you know your stepfather you can like not have like remorse or things or take things personally out of everything that you've been through like what is like the most maybe
16:00 potentially regrettable moment uh in your life no i don't have any regrets because if i did i then i didn't learn anything see and that's the end of the video do you you know what the the anger that you feel um now it seems like you're very under control with it with all of it is there a healthy way that you because like those feelings don't leave is there like a healthy way that you channel it or a productive way that you challenge so as you're like are you like dexter like are you like doing a serial murder somewhere no no just people don't just smile through just calmly oh wait say it wait what was the question did you express the anger oh where does it go yeah you know oh into my journaling my journaling uh so the anger goes towards like all the things i love to do you know but like it's i take the anger energy
16:50 not necessarily like the intensity of like just like being angry i take the energy of anger and basically transition that into you know just kicking ass at the things i do that i love it what pisses you off the most in the world that's trying to make a bakery yeah uh the one the one thing that pisses me off more in the world is when uh someone when people try to define other people like because i think at the end of the day man you got to give a person a chance to be able to define themselves and i think a lot of times people want to sit there and they want to define another person and who they are and i don't think that's necessarily fair because it's basically judgment yeah basically judgment but it's like you know people were like oh this person did this because they're this this this and this and it's like hey let them let them learn their story let them learn you know let them figure themselves out you
17:40 know and and don't don't sit and like define yourself more why don't you learn about you you know what i mean instead of just like like i think it's weird when people try to like pay attention especially if it's someone they don't like you know what i mean or someone that like frustrates them so they make them a villain yeah so they make it they want this person to be like a villain like anything that person says they just try to make this person like just toxic and hey meanwhile that person may have some ████ up ████ about them but it's like hey let them ████ at least have a chance to define themselves and understand themselves and be able to ████ grow from whatever they're trying to grow from i agree with you except for furries i think they're ████ weird furries yeah that's the only one group i'm like nah i'm writing you off forever i don't know i don't want to know but judgment on them i'm curious about stopping by one of those furry expos though they look crazy pretty that's why i don't want to go
18:30 because i'm afraid i like it i'm gonna end it with one last question yeah um we all know you're a stand-up comedian and let's say you get it to the next level and once you get that phone call that you made it to the next level which set of parents do you call first to celebrate with logical or your adoption oh it's like i don't know i don't know i don't really call anyone for anything because i don't i don't necessarily get excited about stuff like that as much as i just get excited about doing the thing that i like to do i'm a weird ████ guy when it comes to that ████ because um well which thanksgiving dinner do you go home to first oh i don't go i don't do that at all yeah yeah ████ it all yeah all at all no are you still close with your adopted oh yeah i'm close with all of them but they they understand they always they say this they say the same thing every year they go we already know the answer but
19:20 you're invited because yeah i'll just yeah i don't really white parents are the best man yeah but it's like dude everybody needs some white parents dude everyone needs someone oh if i don't go my parents are ████ on me dude i'm gonna get some white parents yeah i'm gonna get i'ma i'm gonna get there wait what he's 38 years old he's trying to get white [Music] you
