I’d like to see a reboot version of Grumpy Old Men starring Lewis Black and Bill Burr maybe….

[@ericawirta9922]

Scratch Bill Burr….Lewis and Larry David

[@robertmorrisey7140]

😂 I'm with ya' on that! I would love to see/hear those 2😅😊

[@clare1855]

Good idea..these two would be genius

[@darcy5823]

Wow. Best idea I've seen in a long time!

[@richardashcraft7200]

Or The Odd Couple

[@retrohipster1060]

"He and the assistant hide behind a lead bunker." got me.

[@48grizzly]

Lewis is the sharpest , funniest s.o.b. alive !

[@squeakersanon]

One of the things that impresses me about Mr. Black the most is his forward-thinking insight throughout his life has resulted in him being one of few long-standing comedians who "walk the line" sometimes but remained un-retroactively cancelled.

[@musicauthority674]

Lewis Black is simply the best comedian there is currently on the planet. no wonder why he was the only comedian indorsed by George Carlin.

[@billyc6678]

I’ve always said, he reminds me a lot of George Carlin.

[@arricammarques1955]

OMG ! Lewis Black you are killing me !!! Hysterical 🤣

[@martygould5114]

I live in Dayton Ohio and I lost 2 jobs because AT&T bought the places and eliminated them. First NCR and then I worked 16 years at The Berry Company. Both places no longer exist because of AT&T. The day I found out AT&T bought The Berry Company, I said "I now know how the French felt when they were told the Nazis had taken over."

[@patrickhamilton6677]

Wow, that is a horrible analogy

[@Socraticstatic]

Possibly the worst analogy

[@jhfat]

I support this analogy

[@TomFynn]

The French mostly happily collaborated with the Nazis, shipping Jews to the camps with gay abandon. The famous French Resistance was a joke until the Germans demanded French workers for their armament factories. Ironically, Vichy France had adopted the motto not of "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" but "Travail, Famille, Patrie". Work, Family, Fatherland. Says it all really.

[@magicallthetime693]

Love you Lew. Where would we be without you?😂❤❤❤

[@morpher44]

I predict this will be a classic.

12:45 "I took it down to the folks at Verizon, Mmmmm, been having trouble with that phone?.....uhhh Yeah! LOL!! The delivery of that is GOLD!

[@Nomadistar]

When one can just be pissed about everything is on point with it! IDK if this is comedy or just a modern day fucking documentary...but, I love it just the same!

[@therealkathleenkiddo]

“AT&T is a carrier. Much the same way as a mosquito carries malaria.” That has certainly been my experience with AT&T! This guy is a truth teller.

[@johnmaki3046]

I agree totally! AT&Ts CRAP was exactly why I switched to Consumer Cellular!

[@Washougalite1]

Everybody in my house has an iPhone except me. I absolutely refuse. No iPad either, my tablet is just fine. Apple products hate me and I want nothing to do with them.

[@trishayamada807]

And we all have them (iPhone, iPad, Mac) because we travel all over and they work and connect with each device without any troubles. I’m happy you’re happy, but you sound rather bitter, maybe a better tablet would cheer you up.

[@ShannonJacobs0]

How is the google profiting from one-liner sock puppets making comments? Plus more offensive ads! Maybe depoliticizing America's legal system would help? So: "A nonpartisan Justice may compel two recusals by junior partisan Justices." How about that idea?

As a one time customer of AT&T about 14 years ago everything he said is spot on. Worse telecommunication company in America. That is until Dish Network completely bungholes Boost Mobile. Then it'll be a tie.

I like my "Droid" but yeah, sometimes it does exhibit signs of having its own free will. I don't know why using my headphone jack makes it assume I need to know what time it is.

[@siriosstar4789]

i'm an OLD analog type of guy . about eight years ago my wife and i went to buy some flip phones becuse they had a deal whereby we could call each other for free . i found one i liked and the sales lady came up to me and said " sir wouldn't you rather have a Smart Phone ?" i responded with " i'm not smart enough to operate a smart phone " . she put her hands over her mouth , bent over at the waist and burst into hysterical laughter . keep in mind , this was in germany where sales people don't even smile let alone giggle . true story .

[@RainFall-2022]

My first land line telephone had some options: wall or desk set and where-would-you-like-it were my choices. That's it. No lessons on how to use the make/break rotary dial. No lessons on how to count 1 to 0. I wasn't even told that the zero and the letter 'O' were different! Plus, it was black...as in Lewis! In all the years I used that set, not once did it fail me. Skip forward several decades. Since I retired over twenty years ago I think I have had at least one cell phone per year. No training was provided for any of them and it took me a long time to figure it out. Of course, as soon as I did, I required a new one. What's my fucking point here? Merely to thank the administrations of the past three generations who fixed things we now call "planned obsolescence. Excuse me, my phone is...

You also get exposed to radiation when flying. You are above most of the atmosphere and lose its shielding. Depending on flight duration, it doesn't take many flights to equal one of the dentist's x-rays, and even a single short flight is more than the body scanner.

[@patrickhamilton6677]

Above most of the atmosphere? Lmfao

[@Cksoldier]

🤣🤣🤣

[@WJV9]

@@patrickhamilton6677 - At 25,000 feet the oxygen level is so low that you will lose consciousness and die if not given oxygen. Airliners regularly fly at 30,000 to 40,000 feet to conserve energy because the lower air density reduces friction with air, but there is still enough oxygen to keep the combustion going in the jet engines. People who live at higher altitude also receive more solar radiation due to less dense atmosphere above them to block radiated particles.

I hate the dentist tooth scan. Lol. In a modern life of radio waves and bad overprocessed foods and wheeled transports that get into crashes daily, probably because people checking their phones every five seconds whilst on the freway, there's lotsa ways to be unfortunate and take a perma-nap these days. Not to mention the cap and ball situation. I had AT&T about twelve years ago, the most outrageous overcharging I've ever been subjected to. Well, maybe Vzw has them beat now, I don't know. Anyone remember Windows Mobile and their data plans? A&T would charge a buck or 50 cents per file you downloaded on 3G/mobile. Lolsters
