Have you ever listened to his actual stand-up, or just him talking to people on Nerdist?

Pull up. Yield. Drive. It's not all that difficult.

the joys of living JUST outside of the city. (The downside being only having the commuter rail, not the T.)

I almost got married at one of the Mills in Holyoke. In the end my wife and I decided to get married in the town we're living now at an art gallery though. There's definitely stuff happening in Holyoke.

Seriously, I don't understand this "Roundabout" or "Traffic Circle" shit.

Luckily enough I have a designated parking spot.

Well I mean all of the towns around Springfield, other than Chicopee and Holyoke are really nice suburban towns. Springfield just sticks out.

Yeah, that was probably the Natick Mall.

No no, Boston is a "little brother" city, that has to try and live up to New York, and has to deal with the worst fucking 18 - 22 year olds for 9 months of the year.

The northwest part of Maine is no man's land. Wherever you want to go from there you can't get there from here.

Connecticut… We have weird steamed burgers?
Connecticut… We somehow drive worse than Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Connecticut… Route 84, and abject poverty only miles from gigantic WASPy mansions.

I didn't even bother shoveling out my car last year. I just commuted with my wife. Shoveling it out later took literally three hours.

Pizzer drives me goddamn crazy. One of my middle school teachers said it constantly.

Man, the downeast accent is fucking bizarre. Put the Boston accent and like, Scottish together and you're pretty close.

South county, definitely. North County is affordable if you can find a job out there (good fucking luck.)

I interned at the Springfield Republican my senior year of college, and the guy I worked with there told my buddy and I on our first day: "If you want to leave for lunch, don't leave this block if you're walking. Just drive to West Springfield."

I grew up in Medway, and Milford was the "tough" town that you didn't let your kids in if you were a ridiculous yuppie parent, god help you if you wanted to go to Framingham and it wasn't Shopper's World. God ol' racist yuppie parents…

I was going to look at an apartment in Roxbury, it was a two bedroom in a totally renovated old victorian, $1,000.00 a month. I thought it was a totally crazy deal, then I looked up information on that block and well… no.

Yeah, I'm a life long Massachusetts guy too. My folks both have the accent, but I managed to get along without it. My only regional affect are "Bubbler" and "Packie". Rotary too, I guess.

THROW THE HIGH, STINKIN' CHEESE.
