Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

There's literally nothing to lose.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

Give it a shot.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

You're going to get 20% off.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

And if you don't like it within 30 days, just tell them, Hey, this wasn't for me.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

You're getting your money back and nothing is going to be lost except obviously the flakes on your shirt that you've been brushing away.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

So look, take care of the roots, get better hair.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

Your black shirts are actually going to be black again.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

The itch on your scalp is gone.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

That's the flakes promise.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

Now let's get back to the show.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

But I think that also contributes because, like, this is my theory as to, like, why so many stand-up comedians are Jewish.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

Because, like, it is such a, in my opinion, comedy is, like, a very Jewish art form.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

Like, the Borscht Belt, like, Catskillian, Upstate New York, like, go to a, you know, a summer camp and you entertain, like, your people when they all leave the city.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

And all, like, Henny Youngman and, you know, Milton Berle, all, like, these famous Jewish comedians.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

And I think it's a mixture of, like, being integrated into a culture but not fully being integrated

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

But in the way that like, you know, black people have an outside perspective and they make great comedians as well.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

People see them and they might behave differently because you know, oh, this guy's black.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

So like, I'll speak differently.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

You don't fully get, specifically back in the day, you don't fully get a transparent view into white American society, but Jews did as long as they didn't know you were Jewish.

Camp Gagnon
The WILD Side of Brazilian Culture

And so if they don't know, then they're talking regular and there's an observation of American culture, but still with a Jewish lens that kind of puts you on the periphery.
