i watched that opie and anthony bit on youtube this morning, i barely heard anything mentioned in that quote… they question him on the tape or where the tape was but that was about it.
regardless i don’t really care if the stories are embellished or whatever, comedy is comedy. 90% of comedy is fiction anyways, otherwise it would just be real life, which is boring
I have 2 of tuckers books, although most of the stories (all of the good ones at least) can be found on his website. Very entertaining. Some of the stories def. seemed far fetched and embellished. After hearing him live, he def. does not sound nearly as cocky or confident as his e-persona would lead you to believe.
His ex-girlfriend also has a site, http://www.thebunnyblog.com/, which is not quite as entertaining but does provide some good bored at work material. I enjoyed it because she grew up in central and western new york and I could relate to a lot of her stories. She also says she went to RIT, and was one of my ex-gf’s sorority.
he was just asked to produce the police report of a car in a donut shop from that day. Someone would of called the jobs if a car went threw a donut shop.
It’s the only book I’ve ever read straight through, to just flip it over and read it again.
When I worked at citigroup, one of the coworkers saw me reading it and said every story was true and not even close to exaggerated, he said he went to school with tucker and told a few more stories about him not mentioned in the book or on his website. Granted that’s not proof of anything- this was before his book was mainstream or a NY TIMES best seller. Either way, the book is so well written, its just a good read time and time again.
Assholes Finish First is due out this fall, probably just after the movie release. Pre-Ordered that shit long ago.
Also, many of the Rudius Media sites have hilarious writings and stories on them. Browse them when you are bored at work/school.
