I thought the funny part throughout was that he was not trying to be funny.

The only time he was "trying " to be funny was when talking about a rash., And was so not funny at all

He was out of his league sitting next to pryor and conway .

Still tho, man, times have changed

a little late to the game on Bargatze, but that dude is funny. i feel like - in the world of comedy - it takes a lot more work to do your act without swearing, and still be funny. we've just come to expect comedians to cuss in order to elevate a bit for laughs. he doesn't even yell or get that excited. it's great.

i know there are plenty of other comedians who don't cuss (Gaffigan, maybe), but Bargatze is doing well for himself. his podcast is pretty good too.

He’s fantastic. I find the Nateland podcast boring, tho.

If you have just over 3 hours, Chappelle was on Rogan’s podcast last week, and it was great.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah, that was right around the first of the year. He's divorcing his wife, too.
