    I would kill any one of you to release something that gets so big that some dork I’ve never heard of on Twitter needs to take a shot at me.

    It's not traditional "comedy" and some people are going to be critical of that, but who gives a shit? It's a great piece of art that evokes more emotion than just laughter.

    I saw Patton Oswalt and someone else talking how much they loved it. I don't follow podcast people on there though.

  6. The tweet Jesse was dunking on was a pretty silly tweet from Netflix praising their own release and posting pretentious shots without any context. Would not be surprised if he did not actually watch it

    But the junior high school-ification of our society is high on that list, I think.

    Some of the stuff in Bo’s new special is annoying/“cringe” because it’s exactly the kind of stuff that would go viral on Twitter over the past like 5 years. People on Twitter are making fun of it because it’s a type of humor that has been around and already been run into the ground on there. The sock puppet being a ranting lefty while still carrying the cadence of a children’s show is the most obvious example of this.

    What got me about Inside is that it was something more than just comedy, it was Bo pouring his soul through this and creating this piece of art that is just awe inspiring to watch and those buttholes just didn’t get it. They wanna act like cool, edgy teens smoking in the school bathroom about it, they can but I doubt they could ever make something on par with this.

    Also, most podcast comedians try so hard to be cool and hip, it sucks and they’re often so boring by comparison

    I remember an article I read years ago and I’m paraphrasing but when it came to the Tonight Show monologues, Jay said he wanted to relate to the working class who want to sit/lay down and unwind and wanted to laugh at jokes they didn’t have to think about at 11:30 at night.

    Which is why I love HH so much, their show is very cool and hip but they seem like very genuine chill guys in real life.

    Comedians have been making things that are “more than just comedy” for years now. I liked Inside and it is extremely impressive technically, but it’s not exactly reinventing the wheel thematically. It’s not even new territory for Bo himself lol. Thinking people “just didn’t get it” is strange - what exactly did you think they didn’t get?

    Besides what I said, I dunno, I can’t really answer that admittedly. I guess it just makes me mad that people wanna act like that, I truly felt a connection with this and I can admit that I am being a bit of a hot head about other people’s opinions because of that. I gotta be better about that.

    anyway the Sexting song and Problematic song have both been stuck in my head for a couple days now. Also the video game twitch streamer bit was way too uncanny, not where he’s impersonating the streamer (which is hilarious itself) but where he acts out the video game character motions

  19. I mean it's true what's said in the special, now that everyone is capable of posting their opinion about anything and everything all of the time, no one is really capable of just shutting the fuck up about a thing they're not even invested in. I like Jesse and YKS but that's the annoying part about it. I really doubt he cares about it so it seems silly to be snarky about it

    Inside is genius. Very odd that someone would shit on it outside of the sock puppet song.

    I haven’t listened in a few weeks because I’ve been busy but I’m definitely listening to this one.
