Didn’t watch but hope it’s the one where he asks anyone in advertising or marketing to raise their hands, then tells them they’re the lowest form of scum. When they laugh thinking it’s a gag, he repeats it and tells them he’s not joking.

Edit: Maybe it was the same, I’m obviously talking about a different part.
No
Edit: Maybe I’m wrong here, I’m not aware of that part.
The video of the offense wasn’t in my link, but I linked it below from elsewhere. Only 20 seconds of video.

The million pound question was…
“Were was the Pirate Blackbeard killed”
But forget the other 3 options
That really weirded me out when I was in China. People would say that in lieu of ummm or uhhhh. I had to get adjusted to that.
Of course being in China meant that that was a small adjustment among a host of enormous ones.

Had a coworker on a construction crew that would do the same except it was ‘fuckin-uh’. Annoying but it wasn’t exactly a polite society we were in.
