    Trent, Alex and I spent a sizable chunk of this year working on 'goodlongpee the movie', OUT NOW FOR FREE on the goodlongpee channel. Instantly demonetized for good reason, this movie is passion project through and through, perfect for a snuggle around the fire with hot chocolate this Christmas season - ruclips.net/video/G5k3Qhgzh4Q/видео.htmlsi=WNd3cW3bnqNf3qXs

    You can't think of the baseball dugout story? On July 4th between your 7th and 8th grade years the entire Wackerbarth's Dry Cleaning little league team tied you to one of the support columns and practiced throwing their fastballs at your head for two hours. The whole time, Coach Logey, who was Erik's dad, kept shouting "C'mon, boys! Slowest pitcher gets a swirlie from Joel!" You don't remember because of all the, you know, massive head trauma.

    • @TrangleC
      @TrangleC 4 месяца назад +2

      It seems his secret is just brutal honesty. I think many people have this embarrassing nostalgia for the place where they spent their childhood and fantasize about sharing and showing it off to others, but we know it is a silly, childish impulse and we keep it secret. Many of Haver's sketches are about digging up such stuff that we bury deep inside and putting them on display.
      I think that is also one of the root sources for bullying. People see others indulge a little more in those embarrassing impulses than they do themselves. That makes them resentful and they feel the urge to lash out.
      Haver could be a bully. He might just make fun of people who are that awkward and dorky instead of poking fun of his own silliness. I don't know.
