Show transcript0:00I'm broke. Anybody else broke?0:06You ever get so broke that the bank starts charging you money for not having enough money?0:16I'm fucking broke, man.0:21Bank called me up, they're like, hi, we're calling because you don't have enough money.0:24I'm like, I know.0:27She's like, sir, you have insufficient funds. Oh, that's a good way to put it too.0:30I agree with that.0:33I find my funds to be grossly insufficient.0:38Thanks for calling.0:43Why are you mad at me? I don't understand what, how is this something I'm doing to you?0:49She's like, sir, you only have 20 dollars. That's not enough.0:51You can't only have 20 dollars. I'm like, look, I'm not being broke just to fuck with you, I just really don't have any money.0:59I'm not trying to be a dick, I just, my life is shitty.1:08So they charged me, they charged me 15 dollars. That's how much it costs to only have 20 dollars.1:18Here's the fucked up part, now I only have 5.1:24What did I pay the 20 to the 15 dollars for if I don't get to have the 20 dollars that I paid to have?1:33I paid the fucking money, where's my 20 bucks?1:37That's like going to the movies, you pay, buy your ticket, and they go, get the fuck out of here, go home.1:44But I paid for the movie. No, you paid for a ticket, motherfucker.1:47You didn't pay for a movie.1:55You ever have negative money? That's depressing, isn't it? You look in your bank account, negative 10 dollars.2:01That's how much I have now, negative 10. That means I don't even have no money now.2:09I wish I did. I wish I didn't have anything. I wish I just had nothing, but I have less than that.2:16I don't have none. I have not 10. I don't...2:24I can't, I'm like, if it's free, I can't fucking afford it.2:31Somebody could come up to me, Jesus, it's free. Fuck, that costs nothing.2:34I can't afford that. That's more than I have.2:40I gotta raise 10 bucks to be broke. That's where I'm at.2:45That's not good. That's bad.2:49Apparently, some of you are in the same fucking position.2:55How's your economy doing? Shit. No, I'm glad you appreciate that story.3:01Not everybody appreciates that story. I told that story about a week ago in Orange County, California, and all these rich motherfuckers looking at me with their boat hands and their golf shirts and penny loafers.3:12They're all looking at me like, well, yeah.3:16You were financially irresponsible, you had to pay the price.3:19I don't frankly3:22see what you're angry about.3:25The bank has a right to accrue a fee, clearly.3:32That's how different it is to be rich than it is to be poor, because when you're rich, the bank pays you for being rich.3:38If you have a lot of money, they give you money because you have a lot of money.3:42They say you have so much money that we should give you some because you have a lot.3:48You should have more here. Take more money. Take this guy's 15, fuck him, you should have it.3:58Makes perfect sense.4:02He doesn't have enough, you have a lot.4:09Fine, take it all, you motherfuckers. Don't give us shit. You ever get so broke it just becomes funny to you after a while?4:15Jesus Christ. I have no fucking money. Jesus.4:24People call you, hi, we're gonna turn off the... Yeah, fuck it, turn it off, man.4:28Turn it off. I don't give a shit.4:32When can you make a payment? I ain't paying anything. What am I gonna fucking pay you with?4:37I fucking sold the phone. I don't need it now.4:41Damn it, man.4:45Shit's brutal.
