I'd love for this to be a podcast. The Heeb and the Dweeb.

[@rjahill23]

Love List. Psyched for the special. Ari rules too. Miss Skeptic Tank

Based documentaries for the special

[@powershift2024]

Ari Shaffir really touched me on this one, Joe. I won't be pressing charges this time, but he deeply touched me in a way that should be illegal. Anyways, great podcast, funny and thoughtful, much appreciated. Cheers.

[@diecast610]

Ari taking his shirt off to mimic Bert is peak Ari humor

[@ianmccarthy245]

Love mindful metal jacket and always keeps me humble. Appreciate you joe

[@JoeListComedy]

Thank you. I appreciate you

[@markketchenjr9335]

Thanks for the content king Joe !

[@toolegittoquit789]

No matter what you feel about Ari, you gotta objectively admit he is such a blessing to comedy... especially these days. I love the guy and appreciate his fearlessness and loyalty to the craft. He is this man in my opinion. Him and Joe are two of the best in the game right now.

[@WikiLearn]

I'd love to hear Louie on this podcast. As much as I love his humorous appearances on O and A, his serious interviews from back in the day, especially the ones he did with Marc Maron were my favorite.

[@JoeListComedy]

Working on it.

Thank you. Spread the word.

[@stompin187]

Ari’s statement that he cried during a queen latifa performance should have been the mental health discussion??? 😂

[@andreadushanek6470]

Found Ari years ago on Joe Rogan and the Amazing Racist. He introduced me to DOZENS of comics (such as Joe List) who now get me through each day with a much needed laugh. Never let parody or satire die!!! The people need to laugh.

[@dannydropshot9588]

The same thing pretty much happened to me. My cousin introduced me to the Joe Rogan Experience and I think instantly became a fan and then because of Ari I found out about Legion of Skanks and from there just kept learning about different comics that were guests. I love that about all the best comics because they’re all friends and it helps you discover more and more comedy! Super happy I found Joe List through them because he’s become one of my absolute favorites and he’s so funny! He killed in his new special 😄

[@Raz75reb]

I love old podcasts. Leave em alone, Ari

[@andreadushanek6470]

I just heard Ari say that and I'm so upset! I have a lot of downloading to do tonight. But also, you can never really scrub it from the internet so why take it away from those of us who love it? LOVE old eps! A-holes who want to screw people over will already have saved it in their hate files anyway. Just sayin'. Toothpaste ain't gettin' back in that tube!

[@BDRCADE]

This was such a great episode. Something about the way you two were discussing depression and gratitude clicked with me more than 5+years of weekly therapy.

[@bubbaray8000]

Ari and Joe are two of my heroes. Seriously.. no irony, no sarcasm. These two intelligent, hilarious dudes totally inspire me, along with so many other NYC comics.

[@TheScottyAllan]

Joe! Big fan from Vancouver :) This is the first KZbin comment I have ever written. I felt compelled to let you know, knowing full well you'll read this lol, that your witty self-deprecation marries so well with your clear-minded confidence. I can imagine drunk Joe probably only had the former. I've been a Tuesgay for years and am so happy to see you doing so well! Probably some things to improve diet-wise to stick around longer for the kiddo, but I know that light bulb will turn on eventually lol! Gig Harbour... I spent every weekend the summer of '23, and a couple week-long stretches, on Lake Washington fixing up a houseboat to sail back to Vancouver. We were moored in the Rainier Beach area, a lot of kooks lemme tell ya (cue drive-by shooting at the apartments right across from the marina that we thought was fireworks as we walked. directly. in. its. direction), but, I frequented Gig Harbour on your recommendation. Lovely. Two years in Jersey tops and you should leave. Your kid won't even remember he almost has a Snookie accent when he's waking up Saturdays to roll one of those wheels with a stick with all the neighbourhood kids. Mark has a literal mansion in Manhattan. He'd be dumb to ever sell it. He'll never leave and you know that. I'm not sure how you could work the pod and shows from Washington, but planes work the same regardless of where they take off from... p.s. Vancouver has the same weather... Summer is amazing, as you know, but don't let ANYONE tell you it isn't tough mid-October, when Summer just ends abruptly one day, to... say April. That's 5 months where you may not see the sun, pure dark ash grey overcast and intermittent rain, in week-long chunks. I am being serious.

[@Rogerkonijntje]

8:31 "Can i finish my F*-ing question you F!" - a podcast about happiness 😂 great stuff joe

[@isaiahshuck8974]

Joe List, I’m loving the show being back. It feels like a different side of you and I appreciate that. I’ve watched all of the hour by hour episodes and I can’t wait for tomorrow night! I’ll be there live

[@rolandroot8772]

I don't know if Joe's comedy is a gift to God. I do know that it is a gift to me, to all of us with the brains to watch.

[@charlesjoseph730]

Two of the best comedy specials on the last couple years from these guys.

[@rickmann5227]

I giggled and kept rewinding all the way through Joe's new special. It's hilarious!

[@Leviajohnson]

I’d like Ari to know Joe’s special released at the perfect time. I just got home from a long day, opened up the computer to watch something to wind down, and Joe’s special was right there waiting for me

[@guitarnutbolinuli5788]

Can't wait to watch the special!

[@jimboramen80]

Take Me Back To The Ballgame was Joe's best special ever! 🤣🤣

[@dinibo]

Joe and Ari are my two favorite comedians and I legitimately believe two of the best actual people in comedy. Ari's heel turns are even more hilarious imo when you understand what a good guy he really is underneath.

[@KingYahtzee]

Love the podcast Joe! You're one of my favorite comics out there and I've listened to most of the comedian podcasts lol. Much love brother!

[@jeremychagnon3998]

“Can I finish my f**king question?!” Is when I hit the like lol. So funny

Hey joe, great special. I would really like to see you talk about movies more. Your podcast with Louis had some really good discussion

Ari is my favorite comedian hands down

[@JoeListComedy]

ouch

[@moralhazard1]

You and Neal Brennan, need to pod together, Joe!!!

[@spiritualbutgangsta]

This conversation was pure gold. Can you guys please do something together one the regular? Like a call in show for people who struggling mentally or something. Unlike most mental health coaches, shrinks etc. you are handing out some very useful tips on how to handle bad emotions. Bless guys

[@P51]

Ari has dared to have takes that no one else has. for that I will always respect him.

[@Mark-ox4kt]

There were at least 4 perfect segues into the Bert Thai Food story and each one that passed by without fruition hurt my mental health more and more. Thank goodness for Better Help

[@BigDaddy-vk6rv]

There's a part in this video that almost made me cry, and I listen to these while at work! But the part at 59:55 when Joe was saying "whoever-the-fųçƙ" in my mind I was thinking "Sam..?" And he's shouts out "Sam!" is when I busted out laughing!

[@notmyname6872]

Joe List is so underrated. Seeing unfunny comics get propped up into fame ( Bert, Brendan, Brian, etc.) is genuinely painful when there's quick-witted, down to earth guys like Joe out here getting slept on. Can't wait to see the heights he'll reach, without all the fake nonsense. At least you're not a punching bag for Segura, like Bert. Climbing the ladder on your own comes with it's own merits. I hope you stick around in the comedic sphere for a looooong time. Thanks for the laughs!

[@FinnishGreekMexican]

Perfect Podcast!

[@mountainair]

Big fan of both Joe List and Sam Harris. For those sincerely interested in meditation, one word of advice - keep it dead simple. Give yourself periods where you commit to being without doing. During these sessions bring your full attention to some sensory channel, or even the quality of feeling. Do so without judgement or evaluation or story telling. The techniques (having no head, mindful breathing) are all well and good - but they also tend to generate contraction around "am I doing it right" followed by judgement then day dreaming. Spend a few months practicing the art of truly stoping, then the stillness and beauty associated with meditation emerges naturally, as does the realization of selflessness.

[@enzocabrera4440]

Huge fan here i watched your special yesterday and let me tell you you are the most consistent funny guy out there. Hearing you talking about Bruce is insane im also a huge fan of him and i can really relate i wish i meet him someday hopefully.
