Greg, I've watched the special multiple times. Funniest out there.

FACTS

[@mikegibbons6650]

It's so strong

[@danieltate4444]

Hearing Mike try to describe a Garfield comic is like listening to a Joe Biden speech.

[@mikegibbons6650]

I actually call myself sleepy Joe when I read Garfield.

[@cjthrill]

I like how Mike does his video from his closet. Great sound proofing!

[@mikegibbons6650]

Exactly. Thank you!

[@katiemarkusson715]

Thanks!

[@InglouriousBradsterd]

How does this channel, of over 14 years, have 26k subscribers?

[@damienkearns3654]

It had 20k a month ago before the special. There's no accounting for taste.

[@nextbizzy]

Has it really been 14 years?

[@Dan-rv3lb]

No one found “Grapefruit Simmons” in their search, so they just gave up.

[@cclawncare1]

It's because Greg is such an idiot to broadcast his far left....far, far,l left politics as he states that he doesn't want to talk about politics. Great comic but just thinks anyone not left is a moron

[@mikegibbons6650]

Fitzroy won't sell out (despite trying like hell to)

[@martinhuband4773]

Can already hear the peanut butter jokes

[@mr.a822]

I 1st saw Greg on the VH1 show I Love The 80’s back in 2003.

[@katiemarkusson715]

Hearing you talk about Halifax in such a beautiful way, freaking warms my heart. I’m from Scotia, I had to move to stupid freaking Alberta now. (The Texas of Canada). 🤦‍♀️ it sucks. You’ve just reminded me of how incredible it is back home. Hope to move back when my situation changes. ❤

[@mikegibbons6650]

Envious that you are from there and have spent so much time there. I was blown away. It will always be home for you and good luck getting back there!

[@katiemarkusson715]

@@mikegibbons6650 thanks for your reply Mike. Hope you can take Greg and visit there together. I know the two of you would have such an amazing time. The golf in cape breton (I hear) is unbelievable, although I could never afford a course that special.

[@halifaxmayor]

Halifax is my hometown, and even though hardly anybody we know is still there I would love to retire there someday.

[@katiemarkusson715]

I’m feeling the same way. Such a beautiful and kind place to live. Missing it so much. ❤

[@mikegibbons6650]

Great hometown! And they are doing it right! I wish I could become a Canadian citizen, but it's like the old joke - I would probably hate it with the bar low enough that I could be there.

[@halifaxmayor]

@@mikegibbons6650 lol yeah I'd hate any club that would have me as a member. glad to hear you dug it. if you encountered the huge park located next to downtown, that's the Commons - setting of countless childhood baseball games, running from bigger kids, and my brother calling us in cause he'd just rented Cliffhanger (that one I remember specifically)!

Knowing L.A. I'm surprised the earthquake emergency message wasn't, "Attention! Earthquake! Run to your nearest door frame! No don't use the door frame Bob Vila said that door frames don't hold up in a collapse! Well so does the rest of the building if the frame is collapsing! Well what do we do? Uhhh.. hold on! Get safe! Don't sue us!"

[@mikegibbons6650]

Don't get in the tub! Heard horror stories that the tub did its job when everything collapsed on it with person safely tucked in. Then the broken pipes filled the tub and the person drowned in their tub cage.

[@alanfike]

@@mikegibbons6650 Interesting point from that NYU professor, how this thing that keeps us communicating without leaving the house will not be bringing humankind closer together.

[@timothykeefe9434]

Greg, Can you publish a list of all of the podcasts you have been on?

[@Smashella]

I changed youtube filter to sort by how recently added and searched using his name to pull up a bunch

[@mikegibbons6650]

Still hasn't done 2 Dope Queens

[@ryanimpink13]

Take it eash!!!!! Another banger.

[@mikegibbons6650]

thanks

[@CHEERS_MATE.]

Dick Van Dyke didn't win an emmy, but he would have, making him oldest Emmy recipient, had he been included as one of several producers who won for his special. He'd have beatent Norman Lear by two months which glad didn't happen cuz guys not putting out emmy winning performances while Lear won at 98 for producing those amazing live-aired episodes of his old sitcoms with stars playing the characters

[@mikegibbons6650]

Interesting. How could they not throw him a credit?

[@derilectable]

I am surprised you two didn't go for the song lyrics "oh, you're halfway there, oh, living on a prayer" during the Bon Jovi story. Love the podcast, keep up the great work guys!

[@Smashella]

They did say how they were, are not fans of their music

[@mikegibbons6650]

Good one!

"camera crew not available". Nice one Mike. Funny, but also hits the right notes. There's always a fucking camera filming everywhere, until it matters.

thanks!

20214 is year to push those coozies, 2025 IRS rule changes For now 2024, Venmo, paypal, etc will only report to IRS if a person BOTH earns $5K+ and has 200+ transactions. NOTE: IRS postponed lowering requirement threshold to only $600 sales (no matter how many transactions) until 2025 sales, but with two of you, if you got close to $600 2025, could switch person getting venmo pmts.

[@mikegibbons6650]

Thank you!!! And Fitz can write off his Mustang right? He got it because of deep psychological wounds. So some healthcare write off?

[@jjam1633]

Greg, see you on the 25th at the Alehouse. Hope you have a good time.

[@Safari.Planett]

NSFW Warning: Two dogs & woman on toilet caption contest means Greg can expect some peanut butter punchlines (not from me

[@mikegibbons6650]

keep trying!

JLo & Affleck aren't done, probably just need 5-10 year break They're unfortunately our generation's Liz Taylor / Burton

Greg got a Michael Stipe type thing going. Yous are great.

[@mikegibbons6650]

What's the frequency Greg?!

[@jboy4023]

I think the “small towns” won’t like yer liberal politics.

[@katiemarkusson715]

Haha Halifax would welcome him with open arms. East coast, very liberal. ❤

[@Killing.Me.Softly.]

Greg, who's down stand-up for democrast & repubicans audiences for decades, is more than familiar with how different types of people react

prolly

Im on my 4th watch thru, Greg. You know me? At this point I do.

Until the special had not heard a "polack" joke since 1986.

[@mikegibbons6650]

Deep cuts!

[@cclawncare1]

I have liked the comedy for here for years, BUT I just can't take Gregs constant political garbage. I will miss Mikes humor for sure but I've just had enough of the ridiculousness. I have to Unsubcribe. Best wishes to all

[@mikegibbons6650]

Thanks for your patience up til now. Appreciate it.

[@paints_his_shirt_red]

Actually Greg, you kind of lost me when you said you didn’t want talk about Trump because you were worried subscribers.

[@Dan-rv3lb]

He said politics. Not trump. You did that in your head.
