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....

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.
