Ray's Disastrous Cape May Winery Set

• 27:54A young couple who are fans of the show invites Ray and Tim to perform at their Cape May, New Jersey winery.
• 28:22The audience is mostly elderly year-round Cape May residents who don't listen to podcasts and have no idea what they're walking into.
• 29:00Ray was supposed to do 10 to 15 minutes but estimates he only made it five or six minutes before the set collapsed.
• 30:35Ray opens with crowd work about Matt Lauer that lands well and gets a big laugh from the audience.
• 32:04A joke about someone shitting in the grapes gets decent laughs, building goodwill with the crowd.
• 32:56Ray pivots to a riff about not understanding the stigma against heroin, which doesn't land with an audience dealing with a severe opioid crisis in their town.
• 33:53A smaller joke about making new friends in your 30s gets a mild response but the momentum is already turning.
• 34:42Ray growls during his heroin bit in a way that comes across unhinged, and the audience grows increasingly uncomfortable.
• 35:38When someone tells him to move on, Ray doubles down by angrily repeating that he said he was going to move on, surrendering control of the crowd.
• 36:34A bit about being a baby thief on Tinder confuses the audience further as the crowd begins turning hostile and sharpening their figurative pitchforks.
• 37:29Ray delivers a bizarre joke about smelling like ham and asks what kind of homo watches his hands, deepening the audience's confusion.
• 38:35Ray explains that his tastes are rotten during a bit that the bewildered crowd no longer has the patience to follow.
• 38:50While attempting a feminism bit, the audience believes he's insulting women and begins shouting get off and booing as the set descends into complete chaos.
