This. Episode of Funny Because It's True is

0:03

supported by State Farm. I am a huge

0:05

fan of State for hims personal price plan.

0:07

I recommend Home Auto and Live Coverage to

0:09

just about everybody. The personal price play and

0:11

it's all about being unique, impersonal to you

0:13

and your needs. That means you get the

0:15

coverage you want, a policy that helps cover

0:17

what's important to you and an affordable price.

0:19

Just feel like a good neighbor State Farm

0:21

is. Their prices vary by state, option, selected

0:24

by customer availability and eligibility. It may vary.

4:22

funny than veep. is this nice in

4:24

between place that like easy enough to

4:26

watch with good acting and there's conversation

4:28

4:35

demographic. It's meant for you, It's meant

4:37

for me. Is

14:17

day is a clear my history. And

14:26

like I can not have anybody. Know

14:29

exactly. Is

14:36

Here's that I googled. The

14:38

this place called the Comedy so I

14:40

sounded on my. Son's. The

14:54

years ago but it's part of the

14:56

club tour that I'm doing to prepare

14:58

for the I'm. for my special

15:00

and so I looked as. The.

15:03

Charlotte comedies own. Okay,

15:05

it's very. Informative Google that makes

15:07

that's. That. Makes sense He and like a

15:09

very straightforward. Like I did. He knows. He had no no

15:12

no not yet no nonsense. I wanted to see

15:14

if I knew the other comedians that we're going

15:16
