- On the heels of the release of his new special “Just For Us” on Max, Alex Edelman returns to the podcast for the fourth and best time yet. Mike and Alex break apart the story of the time Alex’s bank lost all his money, how a protestor recently disrupted his show, and what it feels like to be releasing his special after the death of his beloved director, Adam Brace. Plus, Alex’s recent and very strange run-in with Bill Gates.

This will be an odd suggestion, but Hank Green of the vlogbrothers and Crash Course fame on CZcams recently filmed a whole comedy routine he developed over the time he had cancer and it should be airing somewhere soon
It would be amazing if you had him on the show to talk about how he went about learning standup as he really went through the process (but like a speed run version) starting at local open mic nights in his hometown

Just for Us is BRILLIANT. Best thing I've seen in a very long time.
I watched Alex's special the night it came out, & re-watched it again the next night, then last I watched 'The Old Man and the Pool' again (b/c wanted my neighbor to become a Mike Birbiglia fan so convinced her to watch it by agreeing to watch it w/her), so watching this video of you two together mixing humor with tenderness & grief, & w/appreciation for your 'chosen field,' along w/intermittently 'roasting' one another was such great fun, And also thought-provoking. Thanks very much❣
12 Twelve Times! Very healing for Jews post Oct 7 I grew up secular but in all Jewish neighborhood & public school as the majority in Brooklyn so never had need to assimilate .Great focus on the limits of empathy that has kept Israel , and now Jews worldwide ,from winning .BH If somehow you can find a comedic way to expose Farrakhan islamists too .
I love when Mike has guests on where you can tell they’re genuinely good friends. These are the best episodes.
I love you guys!! My truth and vulnerable parts fuel my standup. I am a dyslexic, Jewish, ER doctor with ADHD and scoliosis. Zetz😁Empathy is everything.
Great show, the first part was very touching
Omg 😂 poor Bert.
It requires some holding still lmao😅
Also thank you for the greif talk. I can relate so closely to those feelings and how i handle them. I needed to hear this today fpr the tears and the laughter. Thank you guys ❤
Clearly some edits around Alex's mention of Farrakhan. Release the full clip, what did he say!?!
'You're gesticulating..." I've also got an issue with doing this too much.
Mike needs to lay down and rest his back after that one.
It's so weird to be like, "well, the two choices are - being made fun of behind your back (out of hate), or to your face, which means love!"
Like, or neither? Maybe they're both bad, and 'expressing love' by Actually expressing love (aka, Not insulting someone) would be healthier?
Have you looked at Alex's fingers during this interview?
Well now thats the only thing I can look at....
Great episode but Mike either needs to stop mumbling and then screaming in laughter (or even screaming!) or the producer needs the work on the levels. I had to change the volume 10x.
I listened with AirPods and had no such trouble. But maybe with speakers and some background noise that happens?
@@Leviajohnson I listen watch online at work on my computer. My office door is closed. But I'm also working so maybe I'm just extra sensitive to it (or since it's speakers it's worse).
