While performing at Timeout in Ocala Florida, comedians Steve Hofstetter, @Brett Druck, and Sherm Jacobs encounter a Florida Man in his natural habitat. Is it weirder that he wants to know if the trio carries pocket knives, or that his date thinks every redhead is the guy from Modern Family? The answer is yes.

Next time someone tells me Chris Redfield's Resident Evil 5 gains are unrealistic and impossible, I'm going to show them clips from your old gigs. (Sincerely, I'm struggling to move from Machinist Bale just a few steps toward Batman Bale, and I'm so glad you figured out what it takes to get your body where it is now.)

Small is relative. I'm from SmAlbany, which is small compared to NYC, but big compared to Gouverneur. My mom lives in a place called Charleston-Four Corners, but her mailing address is Sprakers. She didn't even know where the post office was. When we found it we found out it was on someone's converted front porch. The post office was a front porch.

[@The7DirtyWords]

@Sam0193 thats called a debate....the goal for all political debates is to give your opponent as little time to respond as possible but okay lol so youre telling me Kamala cant handle a debate...thats not good

[@archer5915]

@@The7DirtyWords The purpose of the presidential and vp debates is not to speak more because candidates are given equal allotted time to speak. The purpose of any debate is to establish the platforms of both sides so the audience can decide for themselves. By interrupting, Pence was both breaking the established rules of the debate AND being a huge fucking asshole.

@Sam0193 Hi, Sam. I'm afraid that part is not a joke. I am a terminal cancer patient. Steve and I have been communicating for a little over a year now, so he knows me by my name now, but when we first started communicating I gave myself the moniker "your cancer buddy" to differentiate me from his other jillions of fans.

When you asked the dyde what Norwoods export was I was praying he didnt say drugs 😂😂😂😂 they have a huge heroin problem. Potsdam has a little more history than those places, Wes Craven whom created Nightmare on Elm Street was a proffesor here at Clarkson Univeristy and took some inspiration from here into the movie, we are fanous for our sandstone and the Women's Clarkson Hockey Team are 5 time National Champs for D1, we also have a tragic story of a young boy murdered in 2011 and no one knows who did it its even an HBO documentary now.
