      It makes a LOT of Greg’s jokes/stories that much funnier, really-even the ones that have nothing to do with his time as a teacher. It’s just like you said, you listen to him say some of the funniest things I’ve ever heard (some of it waaaay raunchier than the others), and then you suddenly remember that he used to be an EDUCATOR-responsible for other people’s children-it just instantly adds 3 new hilarious layers to whatever outlandish thing you heard him say a minute ago 😂

    "Comedic Genius" is over the top. That would compare him with the greatest comedians of all time. He's funny but far from a comedic Genius. Maybe some day. Throwing around those words dilute a great achievement. Why do I feel so strongly about this? I don't know.
