    Anthony DeVito: Straight Hoopin

    1 2025 HD

    Hi, it's Anthony DeVito. Maybe you'll like what I made. For about 45 minutes I go on and on with jokes and stories about being poor, being a child, becoming an uncle, having a mom, climate change, Obama, reparations, the police, being middle aged, Gen Z, Stitch Fix, the insurrection and more! The whole special cost about $7000. And I don’t exactly have $7000 I can just throw around. My mom does need a new rack. So if you feel so inclined to throw me a couple shekels, here’s how you can do that.
