  • Please give her a warm welcome, the incredibly talented Atsuko Okatsuka, everybody!

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • Whoo! Oh, my god, I love you!

  • Oh, my god, whoo! All right, that's a shot!

  • Okay, all right, all right. Let's get to it, let's get to it.

  • Yeah, let me tell you.

  • People think I'm mature, they do. People think I'm mature because I'm married, yeah.

  • But I would argue that getting married is the child-like thing to do.

  • Yeah, yeah, because married people, what do they say?

  • They say things like, " I found my best friend!"

  • You know, that's very child-like, yeah.

  • Just everything we own, split it in half!

  • That way, it's half and half.

  • We get to do everything together all the time!

  • That's married people, yeah, very child like, very child like.

  • Yeah, mean while, if you're single and having to date around, that's very adult.

  • It is, yeah, yeah, because when you're single and having to date around, you have to do things like get to places on time.

  • You have to be interesting.

  • You have to seem emotionally stable.

  • Especially when you're on like a first date. There's a lot at stake. Do you want to be alone forever? No.

  • Okay?

  • Yeah, so if any of you here are single and having to date around, I commend you. I commend you. Yes, yes, give it up for yourselves.

  • You are way more adult than the married couple.

  • Because back to the married couple, what are we saying?

  • We're still saying things like, "We're going to be together forever and ever till death do us part!"

  • How do we know?

  • Because these rings said so.

  • Very child like, very child like. I am a child. I am a child.

  • Because let me tell you, the other day, I did touch tongues with a stranger's dog.

  • I did. I did. I did.

  • Listen, this is what happened, okay. I saw a dog being walked by its owner, so I got excited.

  • I bent down to pet it and it started licking my face. You know, just.

  • And I opened my mouth to talk, so, boom, contact. Tongue to tongue.

  • And let me tell you, okay, I let it give me a few more. I did.

  • Because life is hard, because life is hard, and I was, like, I'm going to get love wherever I can.

  • Right here will do. Right here will do.

  • And let me tell you, the owner of the dog, she hated it.

  • She did not like it at all. She gave an audible. She was, like, "Ewe, are you kidding me?"

  • And at that moment of fear, for some reason, I stopped. For some reason, the only thing that came out of my mouth back to her. For some reason, I just said, "Don't worry, I'm married."

  • And, she really didn't like that.

  • But here's the thing, okay? I don't do well with feelings of shame or feelings of embarrassment, so anytime someone calls me out, i just go for the jugular.

  • Anytime someone says, "Atsuko, why did you do that?" "Atsuko, why did you say that?"

  • I'm always like, "Well, you know, I never wanted to be here anyway."

  • I just give up right on you.

  • "Atsuko, why did you do that?" "Atsuko, why did you say that?"

  • I'm always like, "Well, you know, none of us had a choice, did we?"

  • And I'm a firm believer in that statement. I really am. I'm a firm believer in that statement.

  • Life, all of us in here, all of you, okay, being birthed is the ultimate... I thought you would like this.

  • Situation that we were all pushed into, okay.

  • None of us had to say, we all come out crying is what I'm saying.

  • You know why?

  • Because it's all terrifying, okay, none of us had a say.

  • It was our mother's idea. She was, like, here's a gift, here's a surprise gift. You live here now.

  • You live here now! Open your eyes!

  • We get pushed out, we start crying.

  • Oh, my god what is this place?

  • Cut to, an adult grown man in the same room sneezing 30 times in a row, achu, achu, achu!

  • Oh, my god! What's that?

  • That's your father. He cannot get it together.

  • Seasonal allergies, you will probably get it, too.

  • That's how I was pushed out into this earth, to a sneezing father!

  • Life is frickin' scary, is what I'm saying.

  • So, I'm sorry I made out with your dog.

  • I never wanted to be here anyway.

  • Thank you so much, Atsuko Okatsuka, thank you!

  • James! - That was Atsuko Okatsuka.

  • She's going nationwide with tickets available at atsuko Okatsuka.com. We'll be back, everybody! That was amazing!

Please give her a warm welcome, the incredibly talented Atsuko Okatsuka, everybody!
