If you haven't listened to the Soft Parade by the Doors, while getting drunk in a bathtub, you haven't lived life

I'm retired at 27, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife, $35k biweekly and a good daughter full of love ❤️….

For some reason, the school being INSIDE OF THE PROJECTS was the saddest part of his story for me. Felipe, you make us fellow Chicanos proud. Keep going!

lol, that comic who gave Felipe the toilet paper advice was clearly Willie Barcena.

Neal nailed it. Felipe, I mean Phillip (don't want him to lose his edge) is brilliant. His bits are so good and he looks like him so they sneak up on you and you almost want him to do it again just to make sure you're not on PCP. Neal, "Healing the earth. Yep, even Mexico" 🤣

People who stutter don't stutter when singing songs and reading something. It's when they have to think and talk in the same moment is when the stutter occurs.
