[@MichaelLaFrance1]

Ari's special "Jew" is a good example of how having the time to perfect a special really makes a difference. It's one of the finest specials of the last decade. Tight, flows well, great material, etc. The extra time that went into it is evident. Too many other specials these days are pumped out prematurely. Comedians feel the pressure to stay on a release schedule that is sometimes too tight.

[@Frank7489]

Feel like comedians tried to follow Louis CK’s example of a new special every year much to their detriment, including CK- he rushed a couple himself

[@DrProgNerd]

When Ari was talking about comedians who ride the momentum of *their* crowd and make millions, I immediately thought of Tom Segura and Bill Burr. Two of my absolute favorite comedians ...but their last specials just weren't as tight as their earlier work.

[@jeremyschwartz3683]

Was this recorded a while back because yall are like "but would the UK actually throw people in jail for offensive comments?" the answer is clearly yes, and they have.

[@jdgoesham5381]

Shit a few years ago I saw they jailed over 1,100 for online mean comments in just Britain. The land of the Magna Carta jails you over "perceived" offense. When you do that who is the one who says whose offense is enough to jail over? Like I'm hugely offended when ppl want to censor others or if people spout Marxist ideologies but I don't want them jailed over it. I'm an adult and online you can just police what YOU see instead of policing what other say. With the mute and block on every platform IDK why there's even a debate about this shit. Just block and move on. It's what I've done with the few I couldn't stand seeing on my timelines..I didn't go to Twitter or Discord and try to get them in trouble...To me it's insane to do that if it's not a legit threat or say slanderous in a damaging way. And in that last case you can just sue them and prove they're being slanderous.

The old 'UK comedy is twelve-thirteen years behind the US' stuff. Does that mean we currently have a Louis CK and Bill Burr roaming around? No, it doesn't. It doesn't mean anything. British comedians didn't start caring about American comedians until Bill Hicks, and that was it until the middle of the 2000s, where they started pretending to like Chris Rock much more than they actually did. The best UK comedy is influenced by other UK comedy. It used to be that there wasn't that much overlap, UK comics weren't as in awe of and oppressed by US comics, and comedy in the UK was much better for it. But naturally we now see ourselves in competition, and we don't have the self-respect to handle it with dignity. Considering this country's achievements, it's absurd.

[@LuisCarruthers]

Yes. It's a misguided comparison. It would mean that in the mid-2030s, we'll have comedians like Shane Gillis. In reality, in the mid-2030s they'll be no comedy venues left (just like music venues) and our culture will be more geared towards the demands of a growing religious group.

That was refreshing. The one thing we should be talking about is that we were born into societies that said humans are lacking and flawed. We need to question that negative belief because it is the root cause of all our problems. In reality, we are perfect and complete in the same way that tigers, trees, and stars are perfect and complete.

[@martingifford5415]

@@LeeGee Pretty much every society says humans are lacking and flawed. Society pushes us to seek material, social, or spiritual gain to fill the supposed lack. And society pushes us to police ourselves and others to thwart our supposed flaws. Political polarisation happens because we so easily judge others as stupid or evil. So instead of criticising ourselves and others, we need to focus on the social paradigm that triggers this negativity. It's a giant distraction that wastes our time and energy.

He would ramble away from the question. I don’t think any of them were trying to be dickish, i think it just took a bit for them to sync up.

I appreciate Ari's optimism, but he isn't responsible for anything. He doesn't own anything or have a family (wife and kids). It's easy to turn a blind eye to society crumbling around you if you're content doing drugs and leaving the country on a whim. He's not attached to the world the way most people are, which is cool for him, but it's a little ignorant for him to expect people to just smile at the pretty flowers when riots are happening a few blocks over. I'd wager he'd feel different if he had kids and had to think about someone's future beyond his own. Not everything is doom and gloom; there is a lot of day-to-day beauty in the world, but the willful ignorance of the problems in society is intellectually lazy.

He's just one of the Jews that would have stayed in Germany a bit too long. Guys it's just propaganda from the radio, it's not real life! .. Not until it gets too big to ignore and it takes over . I commend him because that's how us Jews are. We laugh at those who throw hatred at us because it's so pathetic. But if enough people can be convinced it can become a serious issue. We are seeing that now in the protests since Oct 7

[@Robisquick]

That feels a bit obtuse. This is different from Twitter and comments sections because it’s a recording of a real conversation between people.

[@Millersmeaning]

Therefore the internet is real. Whoa dude….

[@XnakePoison]

Eh nah. Not the same. He's having a long form conversation *in-person*; the internet part here is us, not him.

[@TfortLo-q8m]

Correct it's not reality...Did you think KZbin videos were reality? 😂 I watched Dragon Ball Z on here earlier...pretty sure that isn't in reality...It doesn't mean that everything on the Internet doesn't comport with parts of reality?

I grew up in the UK but emigrated to Australia in my early 20's just over a decade ago. Every time I go back, I wonder how the hell anyone lives there. It'll always be home, and I'll always have a nostalgia for my roots and history. But whenever I romanticise moving back, my Aussie wife reminds me it's a weird, miserable, grey little island with crap wages and not enough sunshine, haha 😅 No wonder we kept setting up colonies in warmer areas.

Ari is hilarious.

Head and shoulders above any other , Ari you are my fav Jew ❤🤣

I liked him until I heard he beat up Bobby Lee, which is just bully minded.

[@seasonedbeefs]

If Bobby was drunk I can totally agree with Ari

[@far-middle]

Hes a bully that plays victim. I cant believe a Jew would do that

[@dannykeeler4018]

I think the coby joke probably helped him tbh that's how i saw ari and knew straight away i would like that kinda humour

[@__loafy__]

Ari Shaqueer.

[@Thed-up2vr]

Hey, comedy!

[@far-middle]

funnier than anything I heard from Ari

[@danielnettleton-vy9zl]

Ari to me is the better part of humor. You need to be willing to joke about the worst parts of what it is to be human. It's a way take power away from it.

[@jegermuscles8461]

Finally my real life best friend Ari telling these internet losers what's up

[@mcawesomest1]

Dark humor is great doe people who have experienced really horrific 💩… it’s a way to talk about uncomfortable crap and not cry about it…. If you can find humor in the worst moments then you can survive it

[@starlust777]

I can't help the notice that with destiny made the joke about the guy getting shot at the Trump rally You guys were pretty disgusted. You did not like that joke, So much so you brought it up cuz it let the bad taste in your mouth, but ari made a same distasteful joke about Kobe dying and both of you just laughed And you moved on and it didn't bother you like destiny's joke did? I'm curious to why? It seems to me that one Guy shares more of your political views and positions So You think his joke is funny The one that has opposing views to you You thought was despicable behavior. This is a good faith question. I'm a really big fan of your guyses. I have the notifications on for every show and I listen to every other podcast you guys are on. I must admit that this double standard left a bad taste in my mouth. I know you don't owe me s*** but I wish I had an explanation because this is the first time you've ever sounded like more of the same to me. I thought the rules were the same for everybody with you guys That's why I like just so much

[@jeansdelajeans3937]

I'd say the difference is that Ari is a comedian and that I was instinctively offended by the kobe joke but immediately realized the humor in it whereas Destiny's comments had no humor to be found. My point is that skills matter in comedy.

Oh, shut up. You take yourself far too seriously.

[@GoldTsar]

Destiny bieng ok with trump voters bieng shot is not a joke and does nothing to help the current political climate, it shows theres a mass of peoole that are ok with someone else bieng killed in a tragedy simply because of who they want to vote for, i dont like democrat voters but i dont wish harm on any of them but if they vote to release criminals and defund police and crime goes up and people get hurt im gonna joke about it but i still wish them the best, kobe was a celeb that died in a accident and if you joke about that no one assumes your actully calling for or are ok with something like that happening, destiny legit believes trump and his voters are a threat to democracy and should be treated as such, thats why destiny dosent give sympathy for the firefighter. Its comparing apples to oranges.

Konstantin is either tired, baked, or simply unconvinced and unimpressed by ari shaffir. I think I know which one it is. Ari is at his wit's end on this one, he either hasn't studied or hasn't understood the numbers, the statistics, etc.

It's exhausting being a "ring wing" comedian... but you can check out NICHOLAS DE SANTO and laugh your butt off. I think Ari is the least funny of the bunch, and I worry that he doesn't grasp object permanence.
