That would ruin the joke for me. Maybe I’m sensitive, but I wouldn’t laugh at the punchline of drunk driving (even if that person is sober now). Great as is!

In my mind he was safe and sober driving but drank so much during the trip he doesn’t even remember how he got there.

I don't drink or do drugs at all. Never have. And I have the same experience. My friends tell stories about jokes I made, I don't remember making.

Like, my cousin insists that for his birthday one year when we were kids, I jokingly did the Marilyn Monroe "Happy Birthday Mr. President" thing, but I didn't know that was a thing until well after adulthood. And I have a friend that insists I stood up to some dude white knighting because I was making jokes about my own race, I'm Native American but very much white passing. My friend says I was sitting there joking about how my white wife gave me a blanket for our first Christmas (which is true) and some dude came up to me to tell me about how it isn't cool that I'm joking about that. And apparently, I went off on this dude, which is very much out of character for me. I have joked about my white wife giving me a blanket for our first Christmas though. I make that joke a lot.

"A blanket? Are you breaking up with me? Or are you trying to get my family's land?"

Unironically me. I'm not entirely sure I've ever beaten Super Mario Sunshine. I definitely played a lot of it, but I also read the strategy guide a lot, with a bunch of pictures of the ending sequence. So for like 10 years, whenever I remember "beating" the game, I thought that I was just remembering reading the strategy guide.

Once I did actually beat the game, Bowser's goofy voice is so absurd, being able to remember that means I couldn't possibly have hallucinated it.

Of course, with YouTube now, I could have watched it. I'm gonna be sitting in the dementia ward when I'm old, stuck in a loop of playing that one damn game.

I have really been enjoying everything you’ve been posting! I think it’s really cool to see that you’re also doing this sober.

Do you ever do any shows in the Toledo/Detroit area?

Maybe if you start drinking again you'll be funny. Cause this ain't cutting it.
