Joe Cason https://youtu.be/NpyJOQVyzNs Bad AI Transcript Hey, everybody, and welcome to Lament Tonight. We've got a good one for you. Stick around and find out what Joe Cason's all about. Right now, Gary Lime and the Fleetones take us away. One, two, three, four. Oh, thank you. Thank you very much, Gary. It's always great to have you here. Bob, you are a great asshole. Thank you, Gary. I really appreciate when you talk nice to me like that. We're here tonight with Joe Cason. I don't know if anybody knows who Joe Cason is, but I kind of do. I won't say that I know him personally, but Joe Cason is a rising comedy talent hailing from Detroit, believe it or not. He made it out alive, but without any equity in his home. And he's now bringing the laughs to Nashville.Where, I mean, if you bought early, it's probably worth a lot of money at this point. Known for sharp one-liners and clever wordplay, his act blends self-deprecating humor, absurd observations, and stories from growing up in the Motor City. So without further ado, let's just go ahead and welcome Joe. Tell us about it. Hey, Bob. Thank you so much for having me. So good to be here. Oh, great. And regale us here with some Motor City madness, as it were. Oh, it was a fun city to grow up in. Everyone called me White Joe. The only thing was there weren't any other Joes. They could have just called me by my name. That would have been a little better, but it was fun. I enjoyed it. Well, that's great. I guess there was no other Joes, so they called other people like, well, it's Slightly Tan Mark.I guess they probably should have. Or maybe Vitiligo Martin. That was actually my neighbor. Joe, why don't you just jump right into the comedy for us and do some material? Absolutely. I'm happy to do it for you guys. So good to be here, everybody. So I gave up porn recently. Don't know what I'm going to do for money now. But I will figure something out, I guess, but I'm just kidding. Uh, I didn't make any money. I was recently told I look like Timothy Chalamet if he was left in the dryer for too long, but that much of a market for that. But, uh, I just turned, uh, just had a birthday. I just turned 29, which is fun. Uh, but 29 is kind of a weird age because I'm too young to own a home and I'm too old for a P Diddy party.But being 29 in my family is a little strange, though, because my younger siblings are a lot more successful than me. Like my younger sister is a doctor. My younger brother's an engineer. I bought a massage chair recently. It's kind of a weird purchase when you're unemployed, but it is weird being the family disappointment when your mom believes in Bigfoot. So that's. It's kind of weird that my mom believes in Bigfoot, you know, this mythical creature that's never been seen. But she gave up on me in 2009. I've been trying to take blurry pictures of myself and send it to her to prove to her that I am real, you know. And my dad is like 99% convinced I'm gay, which means he's only 1% wrong.I got a text from my dad last month. He's like, happy pride month, but you're having fun. I'm like, dude,
