      I disagree about not having a strong closing bit. As a stand up fan I judge a special by the closer. The reason it gets turned off is bad pacing on your part not a lack of attention span on ours. If the best jokes are in the middle and you phone it in half the time, of course everyone turns it off.
      Treat it like two half hour sets or four fifteen minute sets and you can clip it and bring us back if we can’t watch an hour you tube video.

    As a goy who actually went to a Wesleyan bible school for years as I kid, I totally got the dandruff beard joke and thought it was fantastic. Jew is by far one of the best specials out there (if not the best) and seeing it in person, without all the fancy candles and cuts, was just as great. It’s super cool to hear the thought process behind the whole thing. A true comedy genius.

You've got a geniune curiosity about topics, a natural interviewer, and your rants are 2nd to none. Thanks for the years of interesting convos. They help us civilians get through our day to day existence. Maybe there's hope of a few times a year podcast though 🤞

    I’m not an insider, just a comedy fan, so I didn’t go in thinking about your strategy. When you hit the second smartest race bit, followed by “Koreans “, from my perspective as a fan, it was masterful. First time in my life I’ve felt like someone was inside my mind reading my actual thoughts in real time. Now, after listening to this, I realize you actually were in my mind, controlling it like a puppet master. Easily one of my favorite jokes ever. Precise and masterfully executed.
    Congrats on your success and the success of JEW. You deserve every bit of it!

    If you have to end this podcast, there is no more legendary way to do so than with the great Ronny B... L'chaim!

    Dearest Ari, this special is amazing in a way this Goy is unable to describe. That said, this commentary made it that much more special. I appreciate you and all you do. Always remember Jesus loves you!!!

    Ari, you make me laugh, think and laugh again. Keep up the good work or don't. Wild should, wild remain. Tell Joe, I said Hey.
