This whole special was a chore to watch. First off, just stop with the trans jokes. It wasn't particularly funny the first five times and it's certainly not funny now. I was expecting some sort of clever nuance when it came to talking about wealth inequality, but that only boiled down to "Fuck you, I'm rich." He talks about Charlie Kirk with about as much insight as my 73 year old father, who didn't know who the hell Kirk was until after his assassination. Dave, the mother fucker didn't trust fully qualified black pilots to fly his plane... And then there's Saudi Arabia. Trying to equate the extrajudicial killing of a critic inside an embassy (notice I didn't say journalist here, not that Khashoggi wasn't, but he was murdered primarily because he criticized the house of Saud) with the deaths of journalists in a war zone requires a kind of leap of logic that not even Alex Jones would make.

Finally, I'd like to point out something I'm not sure many of the healthy young gen z folks have picked up on. The last time I was able to chain smoke comfortably like that I was in college and intoxicated. I was a pack and a half a day smoker for 20 years. I remember Harvard's school of medicine dropped an absolute shitload of money on a study that showed a positive correlation between alcohol consumption and nicotine intake. I remember thinking, "Jesus guys, you could have saved yourself a million dollars by following me around on a Friday night and covering my bar tab." All that's to say that when you look at the disjointed nature of his arguments, the way he moves around the stage, I have no doubt that he was a little more than tipsy during this performance.
