[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Wow. That is tremendously nice.

Thank you very much. Well, happy Thanksgiving.

I suffer from OCD, obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I think the term "suffer" should be reserved

for people writhing in agony on the ground.

[ Laughter ] They're suffering, you know?

"Quit wriggling around. I'm trying to count your ribs!"

The alphabetizing thing is not true -- at least, in my case.

Like, they ask questions, like, "Brian with your OCD,

do you have to alphabetize your books at home?"

"I organize my books by when I got them chronologically

And the bottom shelf is for the books I finished reading,

is for the books I'm in the process of reading.

[ Laughter ] When I start reading a book,

I just move it from the top shelf to the middle shelf,

and I know exactly what you're wondering --

"Well, wouldn't reading the title of the book count

technically as being in the process of reading the book?

between the top shelf and the middle shelf?"

I don't count the introduction or the forward

but then I make myself read all of page one,

unless it ends in the middle of a sentence --

I make myself turn the page. [ Laughter and applause ]

I finish the sentence to complete the thought.

I write down what date that book was started

You know, when I first suspected that I might have OCD,

And the ones I have, some I have more strongly than others.

So I decided to make a color-coded graph.

I'll total it up and divide it by the number of symptoms."

[ Light laughter ] "If I'm higher than five,

"If I'm under five, I'll self-diagnose that I am A-okay."

Number one -- "Are you the type of person

who has to check the stove over and over again

Number two -- "Are you the type of person

that I forgot to answer that first question.
