    There was too much truth in this stand up! As a recovered addict but an NA drop out, I recognize all this too well! Made me laugh till I had tears in my eyes. I wish this talented comedian the absolute best and look forward to more!

      As a recovered alcoholic (ten years), you don't actually recover until after you "drop out" of AA or NA. I went for 2 years, then I decided I didn't want to be an alcoholic, so I made a list of all the things alcoholics do and just resolved to not do any of those things any more, which includes going to AA and talking about "my sobriety".

Weather is bad. The rats are like racoon size just running down the streets like they're going to work or some kind. People be paying $5,000 a month just for a closet.

    About 10 years ago Kenny Deforest was missing from his dad's basketball team the night we played them.
    We took basketball in Springfield mo very serious back then because a lot of people would travel to play at the Missouri state out door courts. And we have 7 or so colleges withing 20 miles of each other.
    I asked his dad where he was and he told me he moved to new York to do comedy.
    I was shocked! He didn't seem like he had that type of personality.
    Even when I clicked the video I wasn't expecting much. I couldn't have been more wrong. Dudes super funny.
    Btw basketball His dad has to be at least 70 and still plays. We love us some basketball.
