The fact that the Rutherford bit was unplanned is crazy 😂😂😂😂

[@_4lec]

Damn this dude is awesome. Old school, story telling style. Had every single person in that audience fully engaged.

[@johnnywishbone831]

Neo Andrew Dice Clay. Great set.

[@james1795]

"Old school"? Shows you don't know shit about anything.

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

Yes, he's funny. So like.. is it true that you can't keep dogs outside anymore? Like crazy freakish neighbors will report you? Because I am 100% sure that it's perfectly fine to keep any dog that is larger than a bragging-rights-sized Christmas ham OUTSIDE. Dude. Many many dog breeds are working dogs. It's what they are for. Hunting and herding and guarding cattle. And you know where they live? OUTSIDE

[@sevinstorey4365]

Nobody is as awful as ADClay.

[@spitspat1667]

This was wayyyyy funnier then I thought it was gunna be , not saying i didn't think it was gunna be funny but this dude absolutely kills me in the morning talk show he co-hosts. Dudes a comedy genius , this was that kind of funny 🤣 😂 😆

[@RafeWilliams]

I am honored. Now for a as many people as you can to watch this so I can have dinner with Dave Chapelle!

[@swiff323]

Na fr I understand what you mean and shyt it's my first time coming across him at all definitely subscribing 😂

We all have a touch!

@ that is so true. Unfortunately, I’m too old. I didn’t get to claim it in time to be able to tap out from being an adult.

[@TheJcb183]

Love that Rafe is blowing up. Saw him open for Tig Notaro and Patton Oswalt a few weeks ago and he absolutely crushed. His time is coming.

[@michaelbarnard7390]

Rafe Williams is officially my new favorite comedian this had me DYING. Absolutely made my day thanks for the laughs!

[@RafeWilliams]

This is an honor I do not take lightly!!! 🎉

[@RafeWilliams]

I will go King

[@79SteelyMatt]

The Oregon Trail joke was 😂!!

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

My wife gives everyone books. She thinks it’s the coolest gift they’d never expect. Nobody reads books they don’t have time for and didn’t choose. Nothing stops her.

[@RafeWilliams]

Hahahahah “Nothing Stops Her” I love it although after reading most internet comments more people should read! Thanks for the watch man!

[@sinceresilence]

True love is giving knowledge

[@reneeb.2702]

Our whole family reads books but I know that is getting rare.

[@joanncormaci3323]

I love getting and giving books as gifts, anytime of year. Try to give books that I know the people are interested in, or their genre of subject.

[@catherine-ob8vb]

I had a psychic medium connect me with my grandpa one time. When I was around 15 my grandpa gave me a book and it was lost through the years. My grandpa explained the book and nobody else would know it was a brown book with the tree of life on the cover a prayer book. My grandpa was catholic and didn’t believe in mediums. So yeah books are pretty special.

[@freebrokefuture8215]

This is the perfect man to lead the charge for our generations grandpas.

[@marceymince5]

So hilarious!!! Rizz show team to support 😊😊😊 congratulations Rafe!! ❤❤❤

[@HotTripod78]

I'm so proud to say that I met Rafe in person! The Rizzuto Show held a movie event in October, the movies they showed was The Goonies and The Lost Boys. I didn't go to see The Goonies, but I went to The Lost Boys. I met everyone on the Rizzuto Show including Rafe. He looks big on camera, but holy cow he's a huge guy in person, I'm surprised he hasn't been in any body building competitions. Everyone in the Rizz Show team was super cool and chill, I asked all of them if they could autograph the back of my phone. It's been almost 2 months, and the signatures are still there! A little bit faded but still visible and awesome! Rafe wrote "Happy bday! **signature**"

[@RafeWilliams]

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for watching my guy! Now share it so I can get my star on Delmar!

[@itzbeenone2000]

​@RafeWilliams great set!

[@jamesestelle7260]

It's funny how accurate that story is. Also, how society emulates it as well. When i was growing up, kids were forced to go outside all day to play wherever in the world you wanted to. My parents didn't care, and you came home for dinner. Now, kids are forbidden to go outside and have a multitude of health issues. Diabetes was extremely rare, allergies were rare, and kids were tough. Kids now need emotional support, animals, and have medications to help with sleeping.

[@RafeWilliams]

Somebody gets the subtext!!! It’s good to know in a sea of moronic commenters a thinker still exists! Thanks 🙏

[@sevinstorey4365]

Same. Born in 1969 and by the time I was 5-6 and my brother was only 3-4 we were literally put outside and told to play and don’t run off. For hours. Nobody checking on us or even seemed to care. I was in charge of my brother of course. It only got better as we got older. We walked or rode our bikes everywhere and would be miles away from home and going into the mall in town or if we had a little money we’d go in to see a matinee movie. It was an entirely different time but so was the generation before us and the one before them. It’s odd how the more technology we have today (Apple air trackers and phones in every pocket), the parents get more invasive in the child’s life and actually hinder the child from becoming independent. I have no doubts that at age 13 if Lewis and Clark had asked me to be their scout into the western frontier I would’ve made it and been in the history books today.

[@davidallisonisaac]

Wasn’t allowed inside before dinner

[@NachTheRz]

Haven't seen anything with that quality in awhile. And everything is good on this channel!

[@RafeWilliams]

Yo this is the energy I am looking for!

[@DeltaDawn22]

OMG, the outside Dog vs the inside Dog, pure GOLD sir! 🤣🤣👏👏👏 All my Dog's, starting back in 1964 were INSIDE Dog's! Although my first dog Tiger had a name for it, LMAOOOOO! 😂

[@papakenway3003]

Rafe, love it! Pork Steak Army soldiers, need to share this ASAP!!!!

[@RafeWilliams]

PSA!

[@danatate8803]

😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks from Portland, Oregon 💜

[@cindyn.5149]

Rizz Team Member 2021! Absolutely love Rafe! Congrats! You're cracking me up! 🤣

[@melissajones6]

Great set all the way through. I’ll be keeping my eyes on this guy!!

[@brookebridges6967]

As a southern Illinois native and a second generation teen mom, the relatability cracks me up! Rafe is hysterical! #TeamRizz

[@Bangalangs]

I do remember our old outside dogs. They were the best. Last one was named Buster, looked like a chocolate lab, but he was mixed with something else. He’d want to fight anything bigger or browner than him that came in the yard. He absolutely hated the UPS guy, and regularly killed raccoons and other stray animals. Buster Brown would also bring home most of a deer about once every two years during gun season. He also almost ripped the leg off of a shop worker that approached my baby sister when she was playing in a sandbox when she was about 2. He got to sleep in the house when it got below freezing, and ate the same brand of dry kibble and kitchen scraps from the day we got him till the day he died. Thanks to Rafe for helping me bring up fond memories of that old mutt.

[@andrewdickinson6648]

Let's go!! Point listener here! Great video dude!

[@curtjordan2729]

I got to meet him last Thursday at the St Louis Blues game! Going to his show in St.Louis this Saturday night. Check out the Rizzuto Show, he is killing it EVERY day. ✌️

[@marlenefaircloth4350]

Touch of the tism had. Me all the way out .. Hes the funniest guy I've seen on this thing for a long time 😂😂😂😂😂 Haven't laughed out loud for while but he made me gaffaw....he he he more please please please

[@dw4735]

Rafe Williams is gd hilarious!!! I could listen to his stories all day!!!

[@dalam8538]

Just found this guy!!! So happy tht I did!! You are sooo freaking funny, real, and I am on the search for more of your clips!!!!

[@JustAintNoWay]

Find myself watching more and more of your videos. Solid stuff

[@timetodance25]

Okay but all the don’t tell sets need to be this long now!!! We need MORE!!!! 🤩

[@ThatsWhatSheSaid6227]

The Creedence Clearwater joke had me dying 😂😂

[@RafeWilliams]

I wrote that joke down on the corner

[@scotts5339]

From the denim tux to the mom story of bad gift giving, this guy slaps!

[@katieblue5051]

Oh my god 🔥🔥🔥 1. The #2 Show hat. 2. The bad gift joke… I cannot WAIT for the updated version that includes the Chicago birthday story, hahahaha (perhaps Tina’s real gift was an unexpected heap of new material all along) 3. The “nine people out of *seven thousand”* + visual gag did not get the recognition it deserved 4. Credence Clearwater Revival 😂 5. The closer was SO GOOD 6. Way to go, Rafe-I am so proud of you for all of the success you’ve been gaining in your career. You’ve worked hard for it and you deserve everything you’ve got coming to you! Side note: I know that bringing up the Rizz Show outside the context of Rizz Show-related media occasionally seems like a bit of a faux pas, but I’ve been a listener since 2015 and a Team Rizz member since 2017-the show is the best it’s ever been. I met Rafe at Rizz Show Live 2 and have loved the guy ever since-I hope this gem has all of the success he could ever want! 💖

[@RebeccaNotman]

Can’t wait to see Rafe in person one day 🎤

[@Lisa-wi9xk]

You were right when you joined the Rizz show and told people to give you a chance, that you’d grow on us. You’ve grown on me so much. I think you’re such a good person and wildly hilarious. I can’t wait to see you reach the top and have a Netflix special.

[@RafeWilliams]

[@tiesthatbind5056]

This man said "snikt" when talking about wolverine. Only those who really read the comics would know what that is but ill tell ya - its the sound his claws make when they come out.

[@naps_]

Now I can go around gaslighting people and pretending i know more about wolverine comics than I actually do (ive never read Wolverine comics)

[@RafeWilliams]

I’m the best there is at what I do bub, but what I do ain’t very nice. All complaints go to my lawyers at Landeau, Luckman and Lake.

[@big-stupid-jellyfish]

Absolutely incredible. Laughed my ass off. This man should tell every story he knows for ten hours straight. He has a way with words.

[@RafeWilliams]

Much love ❤️

I too became a biological grandmother at 36 , but had been a grandmother 4 years prier ... Had two outside dogs Serena and baby dog they were the best.

F*** like we on the Oregon trail 😂

[@amym1126]

The dog bit!! Omg!! 😂😂😂

[@rainbomg]

GREAT set. Loved this guy. When I was little, I _did_ have an outdoor dog named Oreo, and I hated it that he was on a lead in the backyard. We lived on an army base and I kept letting him off of his chain, which led to my dad’s only ever court marshal. He sent me the records where it says he was reprimanded for not keeping “pet canine properly secured” LOL. Oreo was an outlaw RIP buddy.

[@RafeWilliams]

Damn! Oreo the military brat dog

[@rhiannablumberg4803]

awesome set. hilarious from. beginning to end! more of this guy!😂😂😂

[@ArgueWithTheMajority]

Gotta admit, his look in the thumbnail did have me worried. Had to "check out what his deal was". 😂Turns out, this is the funniest DTC set I've seen in a while. Very well crafted, with some amazing improvisation on top.

[@corleyroberson4575]

My outside dog was named Axel. He was a Pure blood Rottweiler I got when I was 5 or 6 from my dad's friend. He was at one point a guard dog for some company but he got hit by a car and they retired him because they didn't think he would live. He fought hard as shit and lived. I once saw that dog take out 5 Coyotes and come out wounded but with nothing significant. They did take part of his left ear but it healed fine and didn't affect his hearing. Also made him look even more badass 🤘🏻. I miss my dawg
