Pranking Friend On National Television

Yeah. So me and him were totally opposite. And I remember one day in class, I've said this on the podcast, I don't remember how exactly he said it because I don't remember it as well, but he was you're— I don't know if this was him, but he's like, you're not funny, David, or something like that. Like, it was, it was to those words, which is like the worst thing to tell. Like, yeah, he was like, you're not funny, David. Like, no one here, no one here is laughing. No one thinks you're funny. That's what he said to me. And I remember he said this in front of the class, like in front of everybody. Like, and he said it, well, like, and I, and I was very, like, in school I became very cautious about like being obnoxious and blurting things out. Like, there were definitely like some kids that would like blurt more things out. But like, I was very careful. Like, I was like, I'm going to try to keep to myself and only like hit when the funny moments are really there. Like, I'm really not going to try to talk unless it's like really important because I've learned it because so many of my other friends have been embarrassed by teachers in that same regard. Like, so many of my friends were obnoxious and the teacher was like, you're being annoying. Everyone finds you annoying right now. And like, that taught me a lesson. I was like, fuck, I got to like hold back. And this time I was talking to somebody party, um, like my neighbor in my chair, and Mr. Marco was like setting up the class or whatever. And like I was just talking, it was just me and me and this person like laughing to each other. And that's when he called me out and he's like, you're not funny. And it wasn't even a comment I made to the entire class, it was— I was just having a conversation with this one person.

Mr. Marko and I, just to be fair, we were very like, we were very polar opposites. He was like the artsy, like loves literature, loves character work. I don't know how to explain it. How do you explain that?
