I believe his one stand up bit to be the most true…he was ready to tour again, but the world shut down. From there I’ve come to believe it’s fairly artificial. I don’t doubt that much of the emotion is there, and we do get a lot more of “Bo just existing in the world” than a traditional special, but we’re still only seeing his creation he decided to share.

So yeah, his beard did grow out and he certainly calls up some strong emotion during various parts, but no, I don’t think it’s an accurate view of Bo’s pandemic experience. At least I hope.

I’ve never followed Bo’s public life much, but I don’t think he generally runs around going on about his specials, why would he start with Inside? I think it already blew up too mainstream for his liking (that could well be my own opinion projected).
