Yeah, things are changing.

Steve knew how to make wearing a white tee cool.

White tees have been awesome since I've been alive. Now I know who to thank.

@peaygolf did you just see Vandy lost to little UT in the NCAA semifinal?

Spear and magic helmet...

Bo Burnham just dropped the outtakes from his Netflix special Inside from last year on YouTube. Even the outtakes are better than anything anyone else is doing in comedy. His genius is unparalleled.

I certainly understand. As someone who has used anabolic steroids before in the past I can tell you that SARMS are as close to the real deal as you can get without the legality issues and minus the generally minor side effects of regular steroids. No gyno, no testicular atrophy, no zits, no oily skin.....none of that.

Hahahaha. It’s like the pharmaceutical legalese - you may experience diarrhea, constipation, abnormal breast enlargement or shrinkage, growth of additional appendages (or not), plus general malaise.

Steroids sound awesome.

DF the possibility of said apendages dying from inside out, and, maggots forming on the necrotic tissue.

Swim lessons are critical. You can start your children before they’re a year old in lessons to teach them how to float on their backs. Please - parents do it. You can take every precaution (gates, alarms, etc) but teaching them how to stay alive in the water is the only real solution.

 

[franklinpence]

nice. and why id never have a pool with littles.

Or this. Good call.

It’s a dark time for comedy because any risk you take could end your career in that field. Jokes aren’t just jokes anymore, they’re an endorsement of what you truly believe. It’s a damn shame, because people thinking that way has killed standup.

Nah. The best are still cooking with grease. You can still hit on any subject as long as it's...funny

Exactly at some point they are going to be around creeks, rivers and lakes. Teaching a kid to swim at a early age is very important.

I did. two good teams right there now……

 

[VolInDayton]

Watching this inside sec on the tournament... Mike Honcho isn't a great slider. First contact came with the bent knee on the triple and wild pitch

I noticed that slide was bad during the game (but it worked). I wasn't sure if that was an anomaly since he just legged a triple out.

That bat flip tho....

Meh I mean people made 9/11 jokes months after it happened. Anthony Jeselnik make a Boston Bomber joke right after it too. Chappelle easily made his way through trans jokes too, most recently. Comedy tends to be a protected form.

The positives are huge - it's most definitely a golden era for standup. People are getting netflix specials left and right and netflix is willing to protect comedians.

There's also sirius, youtube, etc.

This is the best time ever for standup comedians and it may just keep getting better. As a fan, it's a blessing as well. Not that long ago I remember having to search for DVDs and pay for comedy central specials.

I was watching the tribute to Williams, Carlin, Pryor, and Rivers the other night and it had me wondering...Pryor in the 70s for example, how did people even catch onto him?? 8 tracks? Was he allowed on cable television? Purely word of mouth and later VHS? No idea, but it sure must've been tough. A lot of greats spent decades touring the Borscht Belt (Jewish mainly ofc). These days they could flip a comedy special in a few years. It's a whole new ballgame and I'm here for it.

This world f'n sucks. It isn't better...it f'n sucks.

Well...nothing like sitting on the side of the road waiting on a tow...but at least my Vols are looking up!

Much agree. Risk management is crucial. Young children and swimming pools do not mix. Much like dogs and highways.

I read one of Robin Williams’ biographies last fall and Williams performed on The Richard Pryor show in 1977. It only lasted four episodes but Pryor’s special blew up and it went up from there.

Interesting! Didn't know he had a show.

I also had never read why he set himself on fire before seeing the special. Or that was he was bisexual with Marlon Brando, as well as a trans man. I love delving into old things I'm totally ignorant about. The world and individuals are way more complex than they first appear. I can only imagine a Robin Williams or George Carlin biography.

Back in the 60"s they were called party Albums then tapes. Redd Foxx, Buddy Hackett, Moms Maybelle and several more . People would by the albums and play them on the stereo when they were having a big party. Richard Pryor and George Carlin for example were regulars on the TV variety show scene. Lenny Bruce was cutting edge at the time and with "The Midnight Special " and SNL they all started showing more of their club routines on later at night, still not bad but edgy for TV. Then Cheech and Chong as well as Pryor got in the moves and with cable it was Katie bar the door then.
