I've started to listen to the podcasts of some of these stand ups and holy poo poo are they stupid and awful when not on stage. Just endlessly whining about cancel culture and snowflake millennials. It's endless. They won't shut up about it.

You might like The Comedian's Comedian. From the few episodes I've listened to, the host is pretty, uh, not that.

Hopefully.

He's a prick. Like, even fans of all of the comedians who, for some bizarre reason, are still friends with him think he's a prick. And his 'comedy' is painfully unfunny. I've been wondering why the gently caress would anyone remain his 'friend' for years now.

What did he do now? I saw he had Milo on his podcast to talk about ‘the subtle art of trolling’ recently.

Ari posted:

Kobe Bryant died 23 years too late today. He got away with rape because all the Hollywood liberals who attack comedy enjoy rooting for the Lakers more than they dislike rape. Big ups to the hero who forgot to gas up his chopper. I hate the Lakers. What a great day.

Man I enjoyed watching Kobe play basketball but Godfrey making him out to be some kind of saint who's beyond criticism is dumb as gently caress. I mean I think the original comment was ghoulish and disrespectful to the other people who died, but focusing on how out of bounds it is to disrespect Kobe misses the point imo.

His behavior in the past has been a cause for concern, as he garnered criticism for punching Bobby Lee in the face, and for drugging his good friend Bert Kreischer.

Good god man. I mean I agree celebrity worship is awful and Kobe essentially skated on the rape charges due to his wealth but pump the brakes. You’d think a guy constantly whining about cancel culture might think twice about posting wild statements. But he’s one of the Comedians Are Modern Philosophers guys.

I occasionally sad-listen to Ari Shaffirs podcast. the way he talks about his deeds has this undercurrent of knowing he's an absolute rear end in a top hat but always is straining to justify himself. I think living like you are 20 when you are 45 may have something to do with it. He not only has never grown up (fine) but hasnt grown out of being a middle school lovely boy who lives in a bubble of no consequences. egh.

Oh I've got bad news then, it's just turned out Brian Regan is a holocaust denier, republican and also went five times on the Epstein plane. :jerkbag:

Why do you have to impart moral authority on standups every time you post? Is that really the only way you think about comedians because dude, I've got bad news about how Mitch Hedberg lived if you're you're trying to compare Regan to Hedberg.

About a third of Neal Brennan's Three Mics is like this; the other third is 'standard stand-up' and the other third is serious stuff about depression and things that have happened in his life. It's all segmented out so easier to see which mode he's in.

Before we watch him, can you confirm he's not a shitheel? I don't care about his standup, I just want to make sure he's a nice person first.

Exactly. If you require your standups to also be good people, you're better off not looking too deep into their past because it's pretty hosed up in pretty much all instances.
