Fighting the wiring #fatherandson #genetics #paulprovenza #greenroom #tiktokcomedy

I was at a bat mitzvah, my brother's kid's bat mitzvah. It was my job to buffer my father from the world. I go to pick him up, thinking we're going to my brother's house to see the kids. I say, you ready to go? He goes, where are we going? I said, well, we're going to see Craig's kids. And he goes, what for? And I said, because they're your grandchildren? He goes, you know, some people get something out of that. I didn't get anything out of that. Well, is that consistent with how you grew up with him? What, that he's a pathologically selfish, narcissistic, bipolar freak? Yeah. Is that what you're asking me, or am I reading into it? What I'm asking you is, did you learn anything about you? Yes. What did you learn about you? I learned that I never want to be that. That I have to fight the wiring. Wow. What? I don't think it's going well.
