Yeah, I was thinking about it yesterday, hours before it got 'out' in the media.
It's weird how long things like that can linger on without people caring too much.

About that, how come family guy had that kevin spacey joke a decade ago? I don't really follow the news about these things,
but I suppose there were rumors too then?

These things weren't in the news. But if you work in the industry, you know these rumors. It's a very small town and EVERYBODY, meaning the 90% of people who work below-the-line, know all this too. It's not just stuff talked about in writers' rooms or fancy restaurants.

the fact that he thinks the main issue was beating off suddenly in front of women while famous and not just...the random beating off...is pretty sad. Like, I don't even get the vibe he understands that he actually DID a bad thing, it wasn't just some power dynamic thing, the thing he did was also not ok.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
Mentioning how well admired you are multiple times in your admittance of jerking off in front of people is another kind of jerking off in front of people.

Just saw the Well Red Comedy Tour last Sunday. It was very funny, and if it's coming to your town you should try to see it, especially if you are a liberal and/or from the South.

It's kinda interesting to listen to 5+ year old albums of stand-up comedians (it's all spotify has usually), and listen to jokes they would never do anymore.

Hey, everyone should watch The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, if you have Amazon Prime. It's a witty, wonderful show about a Jewish housewife who becomes a stand-up comic in 1958 New York City, and it's hilarious and awesome. It goes a bit into the history of stand-up (Lenny Bruce is a character in the show), and it's funny as hell. The actress, Rachel Brosnahan, doesn't have any stand-up background, but she does an amazing job.

Luke Kirby. I don't recognize him from the one episode of Person of Interest he did, and I haven't seen him in anything else.

There used to be a site, an internet friend linked me to it once, called baiting.org or something like that where people proto-catfished perverts on icq and aim and poo poo, and Doug Stanhope was a guest contributor.

I dont even remember if they were targeting paedophiles or just general, run-of-the-mill creeps, but the goal was to get and post to a funny chat log.

Edit: yeah, just checked and that's the site. Still up and there's a Stanhope log on the front page.

I haven’t watched the link cause I’m at work, but I’d be interested in actually seeing Bill Burr talk about comedy from a mentor-perspective. It surprises me that he’s not bigger, his first Netflix special is one of my favorite sets and it’s SO long but never really loses steam. I’m always impressed by how he can get a room on his side, like his whole thing about guns for home protection, and how absurd it is to think you’re gonna be effective.

I was really bummed that his latest special was so bleh, but I’d love to see his take on President Trump. I can’t remember if it came up in the special, but it seems like something he could really wrap his fingers around. The perspective of poor whites, the perspective of POC, and the ridiculousness of Trump himself. I should probably just listen to the Monday Morning Podcast but I’m lazy.

I mean in the sense of relating it in a set. But Bill has a better rapport and understanding of POC than probably 99% of straight white male comedians. I’m not saying that Bill can speak for POC or have a better understanding of their plight than they do. I’m saying that I’d love to see his take on things and that he can probably make some jokes about how loving dumb Trump supporters look to POC, etc.
