There’s a tried-and-true playbook for comedians who want to make it big: hit the road, get in front of as many audiences as possible, and try to grab the attention of the TV executives who decide which comics are lucky enough to get a special. But Andrew Schulz and his generation of comics has something those guys didn’t: The internet.
'What is power.' Related to both Bari and Andrew's comment.... My wife (when dating) made a comment to me that comes into play with how I deal with the hate and ignorance of the woke, cancel culture, MSM, fake street anger.... of today when she said, "it took me a while to realize you weren't going to fight back with me" when she wanted to argue. I choose to disarm the fools by not engaging them (online or otherwise). Don't feed to wildlife.
I agree with you about Schulz. I love stand-up and have a high tolerance for “offensive” humor, but Schulz is monotonously vulgar, and even mean. I saw him make fun of audience members in a way that made me cringe…I had to turn him off. I think Bari likes his independent stance and his refusal to bow to pressure to censor himself. I get that, but as a comic, he doesn’t interest me.
I'm kind of disturbed Bari Weiss is going along with Schulz's (almost certain) lie that he spent his life saving getting the rights back for this material. The story doesn't even make sense. He won't give any details, and somehow he's in a contract that requires him to LOSE MONEY to the streaming service he had a contract with.
And Bari, who is supposedly a journalist, doesn't even bother to ask basis questions.
Hey, Real America respects you all going out on your own and taking a risk, regardless of political alignment - that is who We are. BRING GOOD COMEDY BACK, brother! You will win. Like Bari.
Andrew's content is great, but where he really shines is his unfiltered interaction with the audience. He just has so much fun, that regardless of how offensive the things he says are, it's obvious it's all in good humor.
Why is that funny? If you hang out with comics you find little actual laughter- just, that's funny, as they deconstruct the joke. I did a few open mic nights and I was interested in the different approaches and processes that comics take to the end result. The brilliant Franklyn Ajaye wrote a book. He talked to all of the great comics of his generation and the result is very interesting. From George Carlin's precise, musical prose to Elaine Boozler who wrote nothing down.

This guy is terrible
Hysterical, more like this! Never heard of him, but will get his special.
Really enjoyed this one. It's nice to have a good laugh about the craziness in politics today.
Who did Andrew say the funniest comic was of all time? I couldn't catch the name.

Crude and nothing funny in my opinion. At least as far as I was able to watch.

Big thumbs down.
It's so weird to me because Amazon has shows like The Boys and Netflix/Hulu has American Horror Story ... but a comedian can't make an abortion joke?
Anyway, yes, more laughs please.

I loved this episode! I laughed the whole way through. Please do more of these!
Bari Weiss, the Jewish Barry White! LOL! Reminds me of when I was growing up in the 60's - I loved Neil Diamond - the Jewish Elvis :)

What a great interview. I was literally laughing within the first 2 minutes. Great job, both of you.
More podcasts with comedians! I love this. Comedy will save us all. The non-PC kind.
Ok I laughed out loud at the abortion joke--can't believe *that* was the deal breaker.
I really liked this interview specifically because it sheds light on the business aspects of comedy
