He also leaves out how on Legion of Skanks, where he mentioned Gomez chased out some dude pointing out a Proud Boy in the audience... Because the dude was yelling out his disagreement with the politics of another member of the audience minding his own business and watching a live comedy podcast.

That Seth Simons guy is a creep, and this is a passe term but appropriate in this case, SJW comedy policing failed performer. His whole schtick is comedy police, he rose to whatever prominence he has by getting Shane "Trump Rules" Gillis cancelled from SNL. The little fucker couldn't help but shout himself out in the article for that. He's trying to curry favor from blue check marks to further his own career.

Cumia, Compound, and McInness loving suck and it's great I don't have to listen to them, and I believe all the stuff he said about the OnA forums because those maniacs make TheDonald.win posters look civilized. But gently caress that guy for stirring up poo poo for Legion of Skanks or Oakerson. I wouldn't lump them in with the alt-right. They aren't even political (with the exception of Dave Smith, whose politics suck, but hey, he's libertarian).

Ron talked more about that article in I think Fridays Bennington episode. He said life is complicated, and all the people the article said are assholes are also sweethearts. Pretty disappointing.

I haven't listened much since Fez left but this is about what I expected and disappointing at the same time.

Ron is loyal to a fault, and O&A basically gave him a career's worth of work riding their coat tails into SiriusXM. It's almost impossible to get him to say a bad word about them. Big Jay / Luis Gomez are guys that he brought up in the NYC scene. The Stand is where Ron gets to do his stand up, and I have a sneaking suspicion he's a part-owner. I don't want to defend any of this, but it's very much in Ron's character to stay loyal to these guys even if it brings him down too. See also: his loyalty to Fez Whately.

You really expect Ron to start throwing people under the bus? If you want entertainers to bend over for every nannying blogger that cites adjacency as dangerously encroaching white-supremacy then maybe comedy is not for you.

Not for every blogger. But you dont really get to write off the New Republic article as a no-name blogger when Ron repeatedly brings it up on the air. And yeah, for situations where its well documented that people are participating in or supporting white supremacy bullshit, I actually do expect that.

There are a lot of talented comedians who somehow manage not to be adjacent to white supremacy at all! If that seems overbearing or challenging to you, then I strongly encourage you to step away from onaforums, the subreddit, 8kun, or wherever the gently caress for a while.

They're friends with Luis and do Legion of Skanks. Actually did one with Anthony that was pretty uncomfortable and they made fun of Ant for it and he got mad about it. I love the boys and don't have any problem with them, was just surprised Seth didn't name drop any of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpJDIMrnMKI

I don't think you have any genuine interest in my answer to that question (unless it happens to align with your preconceived notions), and I don't think you're asking it in good faith. But I'm not quite ready to provide my indisputable ruling on how Ron should be punished. In the meantime, I do maintain that his response of "Yeah those guys can be pretty racist, but they're always really nice to me [a straight white man with decades in the industry and a major platform to promote their work]" is quite disappointing (although perhaps not entirely unexpected for the reasons Another Bill pointed out earlier).

Unless your Ant. Even really hosed up people can still be really funny, its a talent thats distributed to people in all walks of life.. Discussing artists in passing is fine, Derailing any conversation about them to give your opinion on someone youve never met is just threadshitting

I cant remember who said it, but fundamentally comedy is about wrongness. Loads of poo poo is funny just because of how wrong they are.

I will hold up Ben Bailey's set at the Patrice Roast as being the funniest thing I've ever heard. It is still wild to me that the dude from Cash Cab put out the greatest routine in roast history. If you can track it down it'll show you the kind of environment that group of comedians worked with, definitely gives poo poo some context.

Indubitably, I was interested in perceiving your answer, since your continuance listening is indelibly not very virtuous.

Like nearly everyone in this thread, I haven't listened regularly for years. And I wasn't likely to change that to begin with. But Ron being a dipshit about this gives me momentum to continue down that path.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go imagine that I live in a world where people get as upset with racism as you do with people who insult Ron on the internet.

You've said I'm mad about the show being called racist and mad about ron being called racist which I dont think even happened. You implied I visit nazi forums and are therefore a nazi because I don't agree with you completely. You said I have "preconceived notions" even though you thoroughly preconceived several notions about me. I avoided talking about your character, but if there's anything I'm mad about it's how you're a piece of poo poo.

Ant takes the time going over the Patrice doc to not talk about Patrice at all and bitch about modern comedy and complain about not being interviewed for the doc. DiPaolo is intolerable here and whoever the third guy is just sucks Ant's cock. I do think they're right that if Patrice weren't around today he would've gotten in trouble, however. That's the only thing I took away from the conversation.
