make this baby feel
unwanted the way I was.
And I just...
I...
I feel like I'm never gonna
have this opportunity again,
you know,
and so I'm gonna give it a shot
and I'm excited.
So I have nothing to say
about this?
What do you have to say?
Well, maybe I don't wanna
be a father again.
Okay. Well, you don't
have to be a father.
Nobody's asking you.
But I'm gonna be the father
and I'm gonna be
an older father, which
I don't expect you to
understand, but I am.
I can't even guarantee how long
I'll be around for the child.
I'm, uh...
Actually, it's me having
the baby, not you,
and so you are,
like I said, off the hook.
I'm not off the hook. I'm sorry.
I'm not off the hook.
Okay. I'm not asking you.
I'm not off the hook.
I'm the father
and you're telling me
that I'm off the hook?
No. This is...
You can't just decide
this on your own.
Doesn't work that way.
I can.
It does affect me.
And I just did decide.
Thank you.
Yes. I did decide this.
It affects me.
No. It doesn't.
It doesn't affect you.
It does.
You have nothing to do with it.
You have the baby,
it doesn't affect me?
You're not giving me any choice.
Okay, well...
You did have a choice!
You just said you didn't
wanna be a father.
I didn't say...
I said, I don't know
That's fine.
I don't want you to be!
I don't need you to be!
If this hadn't happened,
I'd run into you in five years.
You'd be with a little kid.
You gonna tell me, "By the
way, this is your child"?
You didn't want anything
to do with it!
Pregnant with my child
and you wouldn't tell me.
So f***ing what?
There you go!
So f***ing what?
"F*** you. I'll have the child."
You should get that.
This is...
Unbelievable.
Ah, f***. F*** this.
This is f***ing crazy.
Miller, I'm busy. I don't wanna
talk business when I'm here.
No. I don't wanna talk
to you right now.
Miller, what is it?
What do you wanna...?
Goddamn it. Ugh!
I don't have time to talk
right now. What is it?
You're viral again.
What?
Yeah. Something about "poopie"?
And a bunch of retirees?
Holy sh*t
I'm makin'
I'm makin' poopie
I'm makin'
I'm makin' sh*t
I'm makin'
I'm makin' poopie
in eight hours,
and it is still climbing.
You are on Kimmel.
You're on Fallon.
So I got a call from
Carol Bock from RAW TV.
Carol Bock. What the f***
does she want?
She needs a host
for a reality-show pilot.
It shoots on Monday in New York.
Monday, uh...
So soon?
They had D'Angelo signed.
He had to drop out
at the last minute.
Of course.
He's got a better manager.
No, he got pancreatic cancer.
Ah, timing is everything, heh.
Cancer. Who'd he steal that
from? Okay. I'm coming.
All right.
Don't leave me hanging.
Yeah. I said, I'm coming!
Yeah.
I'm making poopie
It's good to be alive
Yeah.
Makin' sh*t
I'm makin'
I'm makin'
Poopie
I'm makin' sh*t
Well, well.
Hey, Mac.
What have we here?
The comedian slithering out?
Look, I got a gig in New York.
It's important.
Let me tell you something.
Back in the day,
when I was making book,
I knew who was gonna lose
and who was gonna win.
I had an instinct.
The losers,
before the race ran.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You, my friend,
are money in the bank.
Okay. So now you're saying
I'm a loser?
Get the f*** out of here.
Hey, you know, I hear
you're gonna be a grandpa.
Wow. Congratulations.
That's exciting.
Just don't be surprised
if the kid comes out of the womb
with a mic, doing dick jokes.
You know what I mean?
See you at the bris.
Look around.
There's people everywhere.
"Arlene." Why don't you
work on that?
Because it really sucked
the way you did it.
"Arlene."
That's how you do it, schmuck.
Get it right next time.
Work on it.
"Arlene. Arlene.
"Arlene."
From New York City, RAW TV,
the game-changer
in innovative television
brings you Say Uncle,
a new experiment in jeopardy
starring the king of shock
comedians, Jackie Burke.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome to Say Uncle.
I'm your host, Jackie Burke.
Each week on Say Uncle,
we find out
if you have what it takes
to take the pain
and win cash and prizes,
or will you say uncle
and go home empty-handed,
disappointing your family
and crushing your dreams?
Our first contestant
is Mark Chapel
from Brookline, Massachusetts.
How you doing today, Mark?
Hi. Great.
This week, we take you
to bayou country
where it's man against nature.
Or in this case, Mark against
hundreds of pissed-off crawfish.
Look what we have for you, Mark.
A couple of nice ones.
Here we go. Oh, yeah.
No, no, no. Got you.
These pincers can inflict
a lot of pain and damage.
You sure you're up
to this, Mark?
Bring it on, Uncle Jackie.
Right now, our two bayou babes,
each married to close relatives
are helping Mark
into a swamp pirogue.
That was my idea.
The crawfish.
The crawfish and the bayou
babes. That was me.
Don't forget,
if you last two minutes
you'll win
this new hybrid car,
and your entire family
and $10,000 in cash!
We got it.
Okay.
Are you sure you're ready
for the bayou challenge, Mark?
Yes, Uncle Jackie.
Okay. Let's start
the clock.
Crawfish, it's dinnertime.
That doesn't look so bad to me.
Though I have to say, these
bedbugs are on the large size.
Even by New York standards.
Bayou babes,
bring in reinforcements.
Wow, I thought
having crabs was bad.
I'm not as much of
a man as you are, Mark.
I've gotta hand it to you.
You got a lot of chutzpah
and a lot of balls.
I think one bit me.
Ouch.
Oh, first bite. Let's hope those
Aah!
Twenty-four seconds, Mark.
Hang in there.
Hang in there.
Think of the cash,
the money, the vacation.
You can do it.
You're gonna make it.
You're almost there, Mark.
Keep it going.
Think of the money.
Uncle! Uncle!
Uncle!
Mark!
Loser!
Oh! Oh!
You're a disappointment, Mark.
You okay? You all right?
It's all right.
It's okay. It's okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry. I tried.
I really did.
Honey, it's okay. I know.
I'm sorry.
We love you. The kids love you.
You suck, Mark!
But for me, I'd rather have
with a f***ing butcher knife
than be part of this
f***ing reality show.
This is Jackie Burke
saying "uncle,"
and RAW TV, you can
go f*** yourself.
Jackie.
I'm keeping the Safari jacket,
in case I ever get
booked in Africa.
Jackie.
Sorry.
You know, my kid,
he's over 6 feet tall.
I hardly ever hear from him.
But all of the stages
are beautiful.
Yeah.
Oh, that lucky kid, heh.
Hey.
Where's the Florida sunshine?
Hey.
Wow. Look at you.
This is a surprise.
Yeah.
You look beautiful.
Really great.
Look, I just wanted
to talk to you.
See how you are.
It felt strange after
the way we left things.
