Not as good as Thoughts and Prayers, but still pretty great.Thanks, guys.
I have yet to watch his new one but I did see him on that tour in denver last year. It was good. Not mind blowing by any means....Will be interesting to see the standup and see how it may have evolved.
And i've never actually seen a comedian on tour while he was preparing for some sort of video release....

We saw Bobby Lee last month and he was so fucking great.
I don't understand why he refuses to do specials.

If you're not talking about Jake Flores, the cumtown boys, and the red scare ladies arguing about whether Louis CK is a worker you're really not on the cutting edge of comedy.

Cook and Jeselnik have completely different deliveries, timing and personalities.
