With the commentary starting with his topic of ‘health is wealth’, he moves on to talk about a less comfortable topic of prostate check-ups and then finally ends it with a common topic of disciplining kids. Within the 36 minutes episode filled with laughter and joy, he also was able to share a story about a celebrity funeral.

He also calls himself a member of “team TERF” “trans-exclusionary radical feminist.” He also stated that the content on-screen doesn’t directly translate to real-world harm. With the backlash received on that show, it will be interesting to see how he is going to put up this one and whether he will be repeating the same act he did last time or if he will be changing it up.

Another comic from Washington just like Earthquake, Donnell Rawlings will be the main attraction in the second special. In the second episode, he will make the audience go crazy with his skills. We will surely hear a lot of “Son!” at the end of every line and obviously not forgetting his main and famous catchphrase “I’m rich, biaaaatch!”.
