As a stand up comic I have traveled to every corner of this beautiful country. In my journeys I've found one universal truth: Some idiot will do something stupid and some other moron will record it. And thanks to Al Gore all that crazy ish gets uploaded to the Internet.

With some help from my favorite white guy, Chris Distefano, and a few more of my friends we will take you on a tour of the new American frontier: The Internet.
