Short Kings: A History | The Adam Friedland Show

[@nerdforskating]

Whoever’s running the title/thumbnail department down at TAFS needs a raise, because I couldn’t not click on this one.

[@conor7154]

It’s whichever editor is currently about to be fired. Remember Ginsberg? Yeah, me neither.

[@gapt33th]

Which is crazy because I normally just ignore it anytime there is a woman on the show.

[@a-gnosis]

you know who else needs a raise? see what i did there, short joke 😏nice.

Nick really does NOT look big in person. I saw him when he came to town, I shook his hand (be envious, he's my best friend and not yours), and fawned over him. He's quite small. Lovely young fellow.

[@jaredraynor9067]

I saw nick live recently, he walked past the line through the main door to enter the venue. I started laughing so hard after realizing it was him and how short he actually is.

[@MagicCatfish]

He is prob a legit 5'5 but nice guy!

[@John-mf1sz]

How short would you say? I’m 6’ and I feel short sometimes, lmao.

[@frankmendoza3232]

I’m 5’9 and when I saw him at the improv I saw him outside taking photo with folks. I think he’s around 5’7 or 5’8 I think since he was just a bit shorter than me.

Hitler, Stalin, and MLK are Nick’s 3 personalities

[@Austii42]

Good move bringing boring women comedians onto the podcast, really makes nick and adam shine

[@nigelgeiger6020]

I hope for a day when no one says shit like “Stalin killed more people than hitler”. I mean if someone has an actual joke where they can land then cool but unfortunately this is just what people who have opinions on things they refuse to read about say. It would be like me having strong opinions about football after only causally watching a through the years and never paying any serious attention. People would shit down my neck if I did that but people can have strong opinions on history and ideologies without ever readiny any actual academic literature on it or really putting any effort into learning. This is what happens when people decide to completely discredit higher learning and get their intonation on very complicated issues from unfunny comics/mma fighters. I really hope the world can get back to a place where this is funny to me instead of so damn scary.

[@ownerofastolengun]

Literally the worst thing you could call mlk is short. Nothing else. No other word/words.
