Yes surreal is the word I was looking for when going back and watching this after hearing just now that he checked out of rehab. What I don’t understand is, as read many red flags as this video obviously has in retrospect I wonder why Myers agreed to do it. The entire time Myers is clearly pissed and just barely keeping a scowl from his face. They are close friends and I’m sure that he had to of been fully aware of what was going on with him. He shouldn’t have done the segment if he was just going to be from the very get-go is clearly seething. If your friend is in a spiraling crisis from addiction, it just seems odd to knowingly bring him out on stage and do a skit that you’ve read and clearly hate, As you can tell if you listen to his introduction of the segment This particular portion of the three part segment is really the least cringy, it’s really the first 10 minutes That I’m speaking about
