Hello Tracy. I have a more serious question to ask you.
You and your family have been affected by diseases such as AIDS, and diabetes. What helps you get through each day, and are there any non-profit organizations that we should know about?
Yes, AIDS Healthcare foundation is one of them. Diabetes America, diabetesAmerica.com, is another one. And what affects one of us affects us all, I think that half of America is affected by diabetes. Any organization that you are able to champion is cool with me, as long as you're helping to give back, and helping be a part of the solution, not the problem.
How do you stay so fresh?
Well, you know, just wake up everday, know what I'm saying? And having a short memory, you know? Yesterday is yesterday, and that helps keep things FRESH. F-R-E-S-H, Fresh! And I'm not just fresh, I'm so fresh and so clean-clean.

I smoked weed, but that was when I was a kid. I haven't smoked weed in 10 years. I wish this Bert Kreischer would stop telling people I smoked PCP with him.

Greetings Tracy from Texas. What are your thoughts on Ben Affleck playing Batman?
I think he will be great.
Hi Tracy. There was a big ordeal regarding some perceived homophobia from yourself. I guess my question is, what is your actual position on homosexuals? (not the media nonsense) and if you do have any issues with the gay community, why? I could never understand why anybody cared what sexual orientation other people were.
Well that's where I stand with it. If you love me I love you back. I've got love for everybody. I'm the one that played Brian Fellows dude. I don't know why people are trying to surround my career with that. I agree with you man. No issues here.

Tracy! Let me tell you: I love the way you deliver a punchline. It's a work of art, brother. Question:

I can do this shit." Was it natural? Did you just do it? What's the reasoning like? Or was it something you just wanted to do really badly?
That realization happened for me really in high school. When I was in 9th grade, that I was really funny. When I made the girls laugh, and girls wanted to go out with me. If you're a comedian, and you make the ladies laugh, you got 'em.
