I CAN’T be the only one who heard him say “… customer cervix”. 😂😂😂

[@jikook7457]

😅 I heard it too, which made it even funnier being that he's gay. Like, I'm pretty sure most gay people aren't thinking about cervixes. 😊

[@welcometotheneighborhoodpod]

That's 100% why I repeated myself and said "customer service" again. I was like OOPS! 😄

[@jikook7457]

@welcometotheneighborhoodpod 😅 things happen and u saved it by seamlessly continuing and crushed every one of the jokes. Ur hilarious and I'm so glad I saw ur routine. I'll definitely be looking out for more of ur shows. Random, but ur absolutely adorable too. 🙂 Just had an idea, maybe a joke about a hooker being a "customer cervix"? 🤣

[@jaxjaxattaxx]

I clicked for the wild ass thumbnail and stayed bc he had me SCREAMINGGGGGGGG from start to finish 😂😂☠️😂☠️☠️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 But as someone who lost their mom recently, and dealt with ending a horrifically abusive relationship, I fully, fully loved his confidence. He made me laugh and cry and laugh again. So much love ❤

[@keetasingletary]

😂 yup from his name I'm hooked

[@welcometotheneighborhoodpod]

Thank you

[@SharonSmith-xw5xy]

Me too😀💯❤️

[@83gemm]

That Bahamas story is actually so wholesome.

[@rainbowwwkim]

Wow it takes resiliency to already be laughing at your own trauma 4 months later, im glad he's getting to process it through comedy! Great set!

[@welcometotheneighborhoodpod]

Thank you!

[@jikook7457]

He's hysterical and super adorable. Someone I'd definitely want to be friends with. I'm really sorry about his mom passing. I hope he has continued success in the business.

[@funkijote]

Beautiful storytelling, when he brought it all home with his mother's passing and the name spelling bit at the end, I laughed out loud and then cried remembering the absurdity of the sort of phone calls I had with bureaucrats amid my grief as I was putting my late brother's affairs in order a few years back.

[@welcometotheneighborhoodpod]

thank you!

[@funkijote]

@@welcometotheneighborhoodpod This story reminded me of your name spelling bit, maybe you find amusing kzbin.info/www/bejne/ranLeKOpab6eiZosi=Xk2TG-Y9cNVzAgns

[@monicarenee7949]

As someone who lost a mom I love hearing people make humor out of it. It really does help somehow

[@welcometotheneighborhoodpod]

Thank you!

[@SharonSmith-xw5xy]

I just buried mine a couple of weeks ago and she passed peacefully and I hope yours did too! I pray she just passed while asleep! Mine got up that morning and went to the bathroom, got up pulled her pjs up and sat back down and went to sleep’ it was quite beautiful actually because I didn’t see it for myself I would not believe it but her hair was curly gray…and I watched it turn black!!!! By the time the funeral car arrived all the gray was completely gone and she had a slight smile on her face!!!! 😅😊❤😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇REALLY REAL! Thank you for reading this! Your mom is still with you and if you start to see dimes on the floor on the ground or wherever?…. It’s a sign that symbolizes she’s with you! Just watch!

[@christopherjones8096]

I lost it at “…………pepper……………….”

[@jennalynnpeet4375]

“AND I STILL LOOK THIS HOT” YEAH YOU DO, BABE!!! ❤❤❤

[@AP-wy2ni]

This is so funny! Also really appreciate how heartfelt and open he was too. From one Greek to another, ephkaristo!

[@SuperSgouros]

Bravo Gus!!! Great set!!! I loved the part about your mother's ghost not visiting you. Don't worry - my mom's ghost did not visit me - but my father in law's did - go figure!!! Love you

[@welcometotheneighborhoodpod]

Haha thank you!

[@kristoff1skalet176]

As a black kid with a white Father "Sugar Daddy" assumptions happened years after the "serial killer" they thought they captured when we were driving through the south from OK. in the seventies (I was probably 7 or eight) For context: look up The Atlanta Killer. Ended up being a black man.

[@1Dark.Paradise.Lost1]

0_0 that is spooky

[@ginon3878]

What an amazing dad 🥲 so glad you had that amazing support❤

[@kittyonmydesk5532]

"Eh, pepper." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@fairycat23]

This isn't the point, but Jennifer means "white phantom" (it's a form of Guinevere) and Constantine means "constant, steadfast."

[@kalikadevi]

And Ioannis means "god has been gracious"

[@user-pn1yo3pj9d]

Simply amazing! Have been in your shoes but the other way around! Daughter of a British lady living in Greece for 40 years married to a Greek never spoken a single word!!!! So yeap I did it all!

[@relwriter]

Pepper never gets old! Such a great set. There’s no one out there quite like Gus. Truly and unique and hilarious comic!

[@portiaismyname]

[@p.cornielius3332]

Oooooh that feel when the teacher would pause in roll call, i always knew it was me. And they only struggled on one fucking letter. Y.😅

[@BinaryFlareRC]

I was in the middle of brushing my teeth at "Yeah, I'd like to schedule a pap smear." Y'all can probably guess what happened next. 🤦‍♀️

[@connectionista]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@stuartb5510]

[@Jenauxn]

The United States has not declared a national language, so for the citizen test to be harder for anyone who does not speak English seems pretty..... Un-American.
