  • Some of you may or may not know, I have a new job, this is great.

  • Thank you very much, thank you.

  • So that's fun.

  • Phoned my grandmother to tell her the good news, which was really cool.

  • I don't think she understood what was going on, but still she was happy.

  • Phoned my Gran, she was on the the phone like,

  • I was like, "Granny I am going to be on the Daily Show."

  • She was like, "Woo, Trevor"

  • "I'm so happy for you."

  • "You got a job."

  • I said, "No, no, Gogo."

  • "No, I already had a job, Gogo."

  • "I already had a job."

  • She is like, "No, you didn't."

  • "Did you have an office?"

  • I said, "No."

  • She's like, "then it wasn't a job."

  • "Well done, Trevor."

  • My mom was a bit better.

  • I phoned her, she was on the ball.

  • You know, she was really excited for me, and to give you a bit of a back-story, I have two younger brothers, right.

  • I have a, one brother is 9 years younger than me and then the youngest is 20 years younger than me.

  • And so, the youngest one who's 11, just became head boy of his school.

  • He is the head prefect at his school, right.

  • Yeah so, no, no, please don't, this is my show, you don't clap for him.

  • Please, they didn't clap for me at his, please.

  • I work hard for my applause, please guys.

  • So anyway, so I phoned, so I phoned my mom.

  • So I phoned my mom to tell her my good news, my good news.

  • And I am on the phone and I'm like, "Mom, this just happened,"

  • and she's like, "Oh baby I am so happy for you."

  • "Oh, this is so wonderful, oh my son, I am so happy, this is so great, oh,"

  • "and did you hear what happened with your brother? He became head boy at his school."

  • "Oh, I am so happy. Both my boys are doing big things."

  • And I was like, "Yeah. Some things are bigger than others."

  • She's like, "No baby, it's all the same to me. It's all the same."

  • I was like, "You say that but I mean you know, ha-ha."

  • "I mean you know, if you had to choose."

  • She's like, "okay fine, fine. I'll be honest."

  • "You were never a prefect, so"

  • "Dammit!"

  • That's when I wish I had a physical phone, you know.

  • That's when I wish I had a land-line.

  • I have those land-line moments in my life where I wish I had an old school phone so I could slam it down.

  • Young people will never know the joy of slamming the phone at the end of a call. Cellphones have robbed us of that.

  • That feeling where you get to tell the person, "Screw You!"

  • Ah, it feels so good. They feel it on the other end like, "Agh!"

  • It's like you punched them in the ear.

  • Now with phones, you are robbed of all of that.

  • There's no sense of power, "Screw you!"

  • That's all you have, and you can't even press the screen hard because you are scared you'll crack your own phone.

  • I hate cellphones so much.

  • I think they are robbing us of our intelligence.

  • I honestly believe cellphones are going to be the reason that human beings devolve.

  • We are going back to the stone ages because of those things.

  • Everything about them are turning us into apes again.

  • Neanderthals.

  • I was looking at my thumbs the other day.

  • I spend so much time texting and sending messages that I feel like they have started curling over, like monkey hands.

  • I've gotten really good at typing and grabbing branches.

  • Everything about those phones is robbing us of our humanity.

  • We were proud because we evolved. We stand, we walk tall.

  • And then we got our phones and now every day we spend like this.

  • And over time we are gonna go back.

  • Down.

  • Have you tried to have a conversation with someone on their phone?

  • Literally sounds like a caveman.

  • We've lost it. We don't know how to communicate anymore.

  • Now we use those emoji's for everything.

  • Emoji, emoji, emoji, emoji.

  • No one even uses words.

  • Sent a paragraph to your friend, "Had a great day, did this. It was so funny!"

  • They reply. *Smiley face emoji*

  • "And did you hear she died?"

  • *Sad face emoji*

  • That's it? No words?

  • Emoji's are basically the cave drawings of 2015.

  • Yeah, we judged cave men. We think they were primitive because we couldn't find any words in their pictures.

  • Someone's gonna think the same thing of us.

  • The way we look at cave men and go, "Oh, look at them, they couldn't write."

  • "Oh, the cave man, he was so simple."

  • "And he was hunting, and he had a family. Aww."

  • "Simple."

  • Someone's gonna see our messages in a thousand years.

  • And be like, "Oh, look at that. Oh, the people of 2015, simple. Aww"

  • "Yeah, look at that. They laughed and they cried. Hmm."

  • "Sometimes they laughed until they cried."

  • "Some of them where blind in one eye, yea."

  • "But that didn't stop them from having fun."

  • *crazy face emoji*

  • "And there were monkeys that didn't talk."

  • "Monkeys that didn't listen."

  • "And they were always dancing in red dresses, aww."

  • "2015, a simple time."

  • We don't communicate anymore.

  • We got our emoji's. Phones are making us dumb.

  • I fear most for woman, the most intelligent of our species.

  • I fear for you, I fear ladies.

  • I fear for what the "selfie" has done to you.

  • Women are obsessed with selfies.

  • The average woman spends 50% of her day thinking about when she can take the next selfie.

  • That's all she's thinking about, "Oh, let's take a selfie."

  • "Oh, let's take a selfie. Can we take a selfie now? Let's take a selfie."

  • "Take a selfie of me taking a selfie of you, Ahhh."

  • Oh, this is great. Selfie-ception. I love it."

  • Everyone's just in there. Selfie, selfie, selfie.

  • And you know what's fine? The pictures look great.

  • On Instagram, "Like my picture, like my picture."

  • Yea, it looks normal. But have you seen what it looks like when someone makes a selfie?

  • It is the creepiest thing you have ever seen in your life.

  • A normal woman sitting by herself, having lunch, doing whatever she's doing.

  • And all of the sudden she will look at her phone.

  • And something in her head goes weird.

  • And she transforms into a selfie monster.

  • She'll literally just be there, looking at her phone, going through stuff and all of the sudden she's like,

  • "I just randomly took a picture."

  • "Caught off guard."

  • #IwokeUpLikeThis

  • #NoYouDidn't, #You'reCrazy

  • #StopThatShit

Some of you may or may not know, I have a new job, this is great.
