The two have two daughters Delilah, 6, and Violette, 10 months, and live on Staten Island. <\/p>\n<p>Being on stage is where he has the least amount of agita \u2014  but he\u2019d never try to break into the industry today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoing comedy now \u2026 things get so PC,\u201d\u00a0he said.\u00a0\u201cThere has to be one group of people that can step up to the line or cross it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We asked\u00a0the comic\u00a0to give his take on these topics:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Legal weed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I never really was into weed until recently. On my \u201cChrissy Chaos\u201d podcast on Patreon, I do a segment every Friday called the \u201cChris and Eddy Show\u201d \u2019cause I call edibles \u201ceddys,\u2019 so I take an eddy and I do a show. It\u2019s a different version of myself because I just get high and talk about God knows what. So I\u2019m actually happy that I can buy edibles in New York soon so I don\u2019t have to smuggle them onto airplanes and worry about being locked up abroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/chris-distefano-2.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption>Distefano said that things in comedy \u201cget so PC.\u201d<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">J.C .Rice<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Removal of the Teddy Roosevelt statue\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you have children, you realize it\u2019s exhausting to try to pull down a statue of Teddy Roosevelt. I\u2019d rather just teach my kids the good things he did and the bad things he did and we could just go and take a walk in Central Park. I feel like people need to start having sex again and \u2026 start having more kids. Because I\u2019m exhausted as a parent, so I don\u2019t have the energy to make a difference. Now people want to delay having kids \u2018til they\u2019re 50 \u2026 that\u2019s your right, but the byproduct of that is now you wanna rip down statues. Like stop, dude, go feed your kid. One of my friends who\u2019s like woke, he was like, \u2018I can\u2019t believe you\u2019re not coming to the protest.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Dude, you\u2019re going Wednesdays at 3 o\u2019clock.\u2019 At that point I was doing Zoom swim classes with my daughter; we were filling up a bathtub. I support the cause but I can\u2019t go, dude. You can go cause all you do is have three cats.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>AOC<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had tweeted, \u2018Biden should just make AOC the head of the CIA because nobody\u2019s looking through phones like Puerto Rican women.\u2019 You gotta see the women in my family, they\u2019re all up in my phone. And some white guy, Ryan, I think he\u2019s from Idaho, was like, \u2018That tweet is so offensive.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Dude, shut up. Go eat a potato.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrew<\/strong> <strong>Cuomo blaming being overly affectionate on his Italian heritage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First of all I\u2019ve never seen someone go from hero to zero quicker than f\u2013king Cuomo \u2026 Listen, do Italian people get handsy and kiss a lot, sure. My father might try to kiss Derek Jeter on the lips, but he\u2019s not gonna try to kiss some random girl who works for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/chris-distefano-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"746\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/chris-distefano-3.jpg\" alt=\"Comedian Chris Distefano\" class=\"wp-image-22095451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/chris-distefano-3.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/chris-distefano-3.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/chris-distefano-3.jpg?quality=75&#038;strip=all&#038;w=512 512w\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Distefano didn\u2019t start standup until he was 26.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">J.C. Rice<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Lifting the mask mandate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I thought from day one mandating anything was a mistake \u2026 If you want to wear 10 masks, a face shield, a helmet, do what you gotta do, babe. No problems for me. But just allow me to make my own decision. Even the most left-leaning friends I have are like, \u2018Yeah, we\u2019re done with the masks.\u2019 Because the only people who are afraid are the people who are the most protected. They have 19 vaccines, 17 boosters \u2026 It\u2019s like, \u2018Well that\u2019s your own mental health issue. Don\u2019t put that s\u2014t on me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teaching gender in schools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What I want, being a parent now, is like teach my kids reading, writing and arithmetic and let me do all the other stuff. Let me tell them about sexuality and gender. I don\u2019t need some teacher who I don\u2019t know, who I didn\u2019t handpick, to be teaching my kids about deep-rooted issues like that. That\u2019s a job of a parent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>People with New York sports team tattoos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re over 40 and you have a New York sports logo tattooed on your body, I know one thing and one thing only \u2014  you\u2019re divorced \u2026 because there\u2019s no way your wife was gonna let you do it and it is grounds for divorce if you do do it. Now, with that being said, I was at the Yankee game the other day and they put me up on the Jumbotron and I bombed, nobody clapped, but whatever, that\u2019s besides the point \u2026 I said if Anthony Rizzo and Aaron Judge prove to me that they watched\u00a0my comedy special, I will get the New York Yankees\u2019 logo tattooed on my lower back and I\u2019m a man of my word.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cancel culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you go out and cancel someone, you\u2019d better be squeaky f\u2013king clean because when that light gets shown back on you, you\u2019re gonna see some dirt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ridgewood, Queens-born comic Chris Distefano\u00a0\u2014\u00a0who was once fired from Netflix for\u00a0making\u00a0an insensitive joke\u00a0\u2014\u00a0returns next month to the network with a new special that may get him \u201ccancelled\u201d again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":489,"featured_media":1897356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1459855","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_finder_url":"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/04\/30\/nyc-comic-chris-distefano-jokes-woke-culture-in-netflix-special\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1459855","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/489"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1459855"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1459855\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1897356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1459855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1459855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1459855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
