I worked as a bartender for many years at a casino in Tahoe and I saw behaviors that were shocking to witness. what supposedly normal human beings are capable of when alcohol, losing money, and the existential angst that New Year's Eve brings can be about as uncivilized as any behavior one can imagine. I have so many stories from my time working there.

Listening to Santa Land Diaries is my Christmas tradition!

If you like this check out David’s other Christmas story, Six to Eight Black Men.

Maybe the finest rendition of Away in a Manger.

I'll just say working in a mall in the 80s was a nightmare..... I can laugh now but it does tell you how people really are.....

I listen to this every year, going on 29 years and laugh about something different in it every year. After this I’ve read everything David has published and become a big fan of Amy as well. Sometimes Christmas has been sad for my family and this story has been a big help in getting through it

In 1989, I was the elf in charge of the Santa Puppet Theater and loved it!… not to mention Macy Employee discount😊

This is actually really cynical. Like he can’t comprehend that anyone would actually take joy in making children smile and believe in magic. I could see myself having fun and being genuinely enthusiastic doing this job for like 2 days. After that I’d hate it, but it’s not impossible to believe that some people actually enjoy this job. And even if they don’t, it’s respectable work. These people are trying to do a good job and actually put effort into their work. He’s disgusted with that.

🤷🫵😂🤣😂🤣🤦🫵😂😂😂😂

Mr Carroll is nothing but the truth 🔥🔥🔥

Trump winning is a great story for all children! I’m sorry you grew a vagina Van..

David Carroll might've liked Pastor Gino Jennings

After the arrest of Christina Pearson, Alexandria Love complained about male bystanders not coming to her (Alexandria's) defense when she was fighting outside of a lounge at 3:00 in the morning. Judge Pearson decided to get involved and ended up in jail. News reports like this one is why I don't involved when adults are fighting. The graveyards, prisons, and hospitals are full of male bystanders that got involved when women were fighting.

STOLEN GUNS FROM UPS didnt know they shipped guns

He is right, the foundation black Americans will never start solving their problems and refuse to talk about it

To Democrat Tony Simon, we the ppl need more work out of you and so want you to propose a bill that you'll work 7 days a week plus holiday!

This is one of the best things David Sedaris has written.

The book of Daniel, Chapter 3

Not only is this story a U.S Constitution abomination. To make matters worse, these members of the media are laughing about this attempt to strip a company of their rights.

In her attempt to get reelected to congress after losing Houston's mayoral race, Sheila Jackson Lee has stooped to using the upcoming tragic abortion of a baby as a persuasion for getting people to vote for her. I'm an asshole, but Sheila Jackson Lee is evil personified

Brother Ancel... it's Nick Taylor. This is one of my favorite DC videos.

And she served about what 2 years. It was all racism against her . She didn’t do nothin!

[24:40] Who was that, Mia Farrow?

Wait? Suing the store for Goons shooting their loved ones? This ain't nothing but a Money Grab.

Surprise!!! I'm back! ancel it's Nick Taylor! 😎

Sure did kill it! Amazing!❤

David Sedaris you are the best😊😊😊

I wish I had a David Caroll in my life 😔.

Fin insane... evil sue happy lawyers

Honestly possibly the only thing the store can do is put bullet proof glass in aside from that nothing more

Very sad story but how is it a gas stations fault for violence in the city ? Where is there security officers at gas stations ? So if it’s crime ridden where are the local police in that area ?

What rewards do you receive for opening a business in The Hood? Constantly having to call the police on uncivil people. Then when your business gets shot up by criminals, the victims families want to Sue You for the actions of criminals. It ain't worth the trouble...Open your business in a safe area.

They seem Smart to me..

SHE needs to change, not "we"...

David Carroll always provided solutions and plans to help improve the quality of "Black America" and the condition of our race still hasn't improved yet at all. RIP to the late, great Mr. Carroll because I will definitely miss his content and the criticism of Black America related to the foolish, clumsy behavior of these "bojangling & buck dancing" negroes.

This is bogus

A Baby Boomer style, song of hope. Zapp - Be Alright...1980

You Send Me ... Roy Ayers & Carla Vaughn 1978 Does Generation Z still make Slow Dancing Songs? If so, they can't be better than this....❤🖤

Boy a coke head 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣

This is one of my favorite songs that my big brother used to play when I was a pup. Flowers performed by The Emotions...1976

It was always a treat to listen to Mr. Carroll deliver his criticism of the black churches/ pastors and their constant dysfunction and manipulation of the black community, RIP to the late, great Mr. Carroll.

So you think Your Life is f*cked up? This is what Rose Quartz walks past in Philadelphia on her way to work. Sometimes we all need to sit down and think about how blessed we are.

Rachel and I might have had the same mother except that I am older than you and grew up on the other coast. I guess these mothers can turn up anywhere, anytime.
