This is only one of many amazing Sean O’Connor high school tales and we’re thankful that he’s doing stand-up so we can hear all of them.

That’s what good friends Ari Shaffir and Pete Carboni did for the latest story on This Is Not Happening and well, we will just let Ari and Pete tell you the rest…

If you live in Hollywood, you learn almost instantly that it’s far removed from the glitz and glamour that’s depicted on stage and screen. One great example of that is the Ralphs on Sunset Blvd. that’s open 24/7, affectionately called the “Rock n’ Roll Ralphs”.

Of the This Is Not Happening catalog of stories, Ali Saddiq’s is one of the craziest ones as it involves a prison riot.
