A news item about a man kicked to death by an emu leads to jokes about Florida's absurd Denny's menu items and smoking Marlboro Reds in restaurants during meals.

In this bit8 moments
  • An emu kicked a man to death in Florida after he fell down—the bird had razor claws and just kept kicking until he died.
  • That guy was the governor of Florida, and Texas is glad there's a Florida to take the heat off Texas.
  • Denny's in Florida has food that makes no sense—like salted caramel banana cream pancakes—that nobody would ever want.
  • Floridians will eat that nonsense pancake and then smoke a Marlboro Red 100 outside, and there's something beautiful about watching someone do a 100 and really commit to it.
  • You could smoke in restaurants during meals not long ago—those times are gone now thanks to Obama.
  • Tim's comics at his club would breathe in so much cigarette and cigar smoke they'd be huffing it back out during their sets.
  • The club refused ventilation because secondhand smoke was considered fine back then, even though it obviously isn't.
  • Tim hates WeWork—it's full of rich kids who go to Coachella, their fathers get them offices because they have Instagram followers, and they should just have a stapler to fix everything.
