Birbiglia was already a very good comedian who seems to have kicked it up a notch to the top level. Not a lot of comedians get better at their act after getting a podcast but he seems like a rare exception.

[@plumbersteve]

I know!

[@hummersd]

Fantastic special -- he's such a great storyteller. Now going through his other specials on Netflix.

[@franchisemiami]

He was a great guest, and his special is incredible

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Love mike B he is treasure so natural ,and funny great interview as alway jimmy so entertaining love that you guys are friends🤣❤.

[@lyndalgoodman6203]

Stumbled across this last night and laughed A LOT! I love his timing and delivery and unlike other comics doesn't resort to F words and C words to "entertain". I'm looking forward to many more laughs as I watch his other specials.

[@NoyPi6step]

First time I’ve heard of Mike, great special! Would recommend

[@withershin]

4 months later. You two get an ad for Little Caesar's (this hurts me) "Chicago Style Pizza"... I am dying inside. Sorry Mike B and Jimmy but you aren't going to top being more funny than Little Caesar's trying to pimp "Chicago-style pizza". I mean robot I love you two and I totally... hold on I'm going to copy bots - Birbiglia was already a very good comedian who seems to have kicked it up a notch to the top level. He was a great guest, and his special is incredible. Stumbled across this last night and laughed A LOT! Love mike B he is treasure so natural ,and funny great interview as alway jimmy so entertaining love that you guys are friends. its a great show. thanks so much for putting it into the world and sharing it. This one is borderline human = "A lot of celebrities and Mike Birbigila ". Never heard of this comedian until today when a friend and I were sharing what we're watching on Netflix and he mentioned The Old Man and the Pool. Makes me want to re-subscribe my Netflix account instead of just going with disney for my kids. "Mike just gets weirder and weirder" - huh? "Jimmy's co-workers may confirm his mafioso behavior...". Okay I might be in human territory here now because this one is my favourite: "He was acting like Tom Cruise on Oprah." - 2024 nothing matters, buy a pizza.

[@Anonymouse428]

(because I assume you are the kind of person who reads the comments), I clicked on The Old Man and the Pool the second Netflix recommended it to me. I have loved your work since I first heard you on This American Life about twenty lifetimes ago, and you really do just keep getting better and better! I was watching your special while untangling my Christmas lights and then ran into the problem that I finished, but you hadn’t finished talking, and the sun was going down, and I needed to get the lights up, but you were still talking, so I didn’t want to go outside. Please keep taking care of yourself and telling stories! I love you and you make my life a happier place.

[@Anonymouse428]

Okay. Now I’m annoyed because I made his name, Mike Bribiglia in bold and underlined and the thing just made his whole name disappear. It’s almost like the internet literally refuses to let his name be in bold and underlined.

[@JD-dh7bk]

A lot of celebrities and Mike Birbigila 😂😂😂😂

[@bobwiegers]

its a great show. thanks so much for putting it into the world and sharing it.

[@elysefairchild5111]

Mike is the BESTTTTT

[@hh987ish]

Love you Mr. Birbiglia! Loved you for years. Makes me want to re-subscribe my Netflix account instead of just going with disney for my kids. Love The comedy on Netflix.

[@MrKorupta]

damn jimmys five heads got some competition.

[@danielaceja7258]

Looolll😂

[@heatherimhoff6295]

TOOOOI FUNNNNNNY!!!!!❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Harveygregorxotwod]

Bro looks like the prequel to better call Saul

[@elgugo2050]

This Mike Wahooski guy is great!

[@CobysCorner]

put some respect on birbiglias name - been funny for years

[@nicolamcguinness8689]

Emory Parnell talk about Clark gable

[@The_Green_Queen]

All I can think of is Rodney Dangerfield

[@kasondaleigh]

👍👍

[@lllll99999-f]

birgigs needs longer pants. fire that stylist. or don't be shy of your ankles

[@EnchantedbyLove]

Nevermind this somewhat eh interview (JF excluded) ~ you have to hear about the Man in the Pool.

[@asynchronicity]

Mike just gets weirder and weirder

[@OddOneOut665]

Now how come Jimmy didn't share any Freezer Secrets with Mike, huh?!?!?????

[@ThunderPants13]

It was an odd choice for Mike to wear capri pants.

[@ty-guy4458]

Jimmy's co-workers may confirm his mafioso behavior...

[@victoriag1889]

Why don't you invite Cillian Murphy? We all want to see Cillian Murphy, she's the man of the moment 😭

[@latenitecaptain]

Mr. Fallon ur royalty, we live for u, right this way. Next. Shit, Hey Kitchen, its the guy with the sleeping thing. No, sleep guy, ya, ur tables over there, go, GO!

[@AfternoonFocus]

a great appearance on the show (completely ruined by terrible pants)

[@latenitecaptain]

Dam. Hey Mike, I'm gonna send u some cash, it's tough to c u struggle, even with all the money, u millionaire u.

[@AnnaElizabethI]

Why am I feeling like he is totally wasted here? And also during his special?

[@vailryan5682]

What's up with the hoghwater pegleg pants?

[@lindathalman3506]

Why is he funny?

[@bcarr5163]

I like Mike but last night's appearance was weird. He was acting like Tom Cruise on Oprah. Something just not right.

[@hh987ish]

Excuse you he was being himself. Don't crap on actors they are keeping this country running

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

He seems drunk here, too. Usually enjoy his interviews but this was a bit loud and repetitive.

[@hh987ish]

Oh yeah let's just change who this person is who is a genius comedian

[@davidwartski7213]

Cult Gaia, huh? Weirdo cultists with their whole Gaia fixation. Woo-woo stuff. Overpriced, crappy merchandise. Birbiglia is awesome. Jimmy is filthy talented. The stories are simply amazing. But Uno is soooo fkn boring. Ugh. I recently became a Yahtzee Nazee, btw. While at a recent stay in a psych ward. Good times. Great game, Yahtzee!

[@sunny5ma]

What is actually wrong with this guy? Ever heard of an "inside voice "? Stop yelling geez🤦🤦🤦

[@hh987ish]

Oh yeah don't be funny and use your natural voice and be who you really are just change what makes you YOU. Go take an acting class seriously what are these comments❤❤❤❤❤❤. Love you Mike. Thank you for your work and art.
