“We wanted to name our son after someone we both admire, so we went with Borat.”
From Ralphie May:
Noting his large size deterred him from moving around the stage during shows: “This is where you can take a break if you’re working the lights, fellas.”
On race: “We tried Caucasian for a while, but nobody could spell it, so we went back to white.”
After warning the crowd that he was “racially insensitive and culturally controversial,” May told the crowd: “If you can’t take a joke, take a cab.”
