That's a lot of body to guard.

Hopefully he gets paid by the pound.

oh no no no bodyguards tend to not request payment based on the weight of their clients. This would be very unusual.

Oh literal whoever the fuck you are.

Samuel but a lot of my friends just shorten it to "Sam". Either one is fine in my book. Just dont call me late for supper LOL

Regular Sam fucking stinks.

Homerun sam.

Pretty good stuff Sam but let's see if you can hit the post

hows the navey lady di?

Or by the lie

What made me sad from that clip is he said no one breaks balls anymore. That's what I loved about the cellar crowd. Them on Tough Crowd and O and A making fun of each other.

We all like a joke, but those guys took it too far. Many of their insults were sexist, racist and ableist and it's about time we have a new generation of progressive comedians who don't have to make mean comments about each other to have a good time.

"Laughter is the best medicine." I always say that.

Even when it doesnt apply.

This guy gets it. And who says progressive comedians can't make ya laughwhen they break each other's non-gender specific sexual organs?

I had the privilege to witness a couple of real forward leaners in the comedy club. After their sets, I was fortunate enough to get a seat just near enough to the comedian's table to overhear their discussion. I was honored to be so close, as a mere civilian.

When they started to insult each other in the traditional comedian fashion, it heated up quick! One comedian said "I hate my own white skin so much, I make sure every buck who plows my wife is at least six shades darker than me!"

"BULLSHIT! You don't hate your white skin nearly as much as I hate mine. Why, I bet that when you walk into the buck bar and try to recruit bucks for your poor desperate wife, they can smell the privilege coming off of you from a mile away, and that makes you a racist, and a misogynist! You'd be lucky to bring your poor wife a quadroon, dripping with light skinned privilege of his own!"

"Woah.... Louis, it's incredibly offensive that you would say that. Totally not ok. All joking aside, lighter skinned people within the African American community of color actually face extraordinarily serious oppression that is just as great, both from us evil whites, as well as from their own community of POCs. You should stop this joking at once and apologize."

"You're right, Kurt. I am sorry, you have taught me a lot tonight, and made me a better progressive. Lets go to the buck bar together and I'll make sure we bring your wife a buck who is SEVEN shades darker than your pathetic, evil, slavery-inventing white self!"

It was truly a great night for comedy.

jesus christ calm down

What? This is just a 100% true story that I recounted exactly as it happened.

I know this is sarcasm but it fuckin stinks.

I'm sure you didn't post this for it, but (applause)

I just hope I live to see the day where the butt of every joke is intolerance.

While Amy is probably just afraid people are gonna steal food from her, plus she is an actual celebrity, let's not forget that our little Jimmy "there's still 30 seats available in a midwestern Chucklehut" Nordin brings a bodyguard to him everywhere for years.

i think kenny is more just somebody to travel with and carry his merch and shit... i remember his saying his official title was tour manager or some shit

Really just someone Jimmy can stand behind while he yells mean shit and degrades people in the airline and service industry.

trizz

yeah and you also have to remember that the jim norton/o&a fan base are more likely to be violent

itt jim norton apologists

Kenny is his gay lover.

There is no other excuse for a d list comic needing a bodyguard.

Does Kenny make sure the owners dont jack him on the free cheesefries his anorexic ass won't fucking eat?

Kenny approaches women for him. That's his job.

Well four ears can hear more than only two.

Her bodyguard has a yellow notepad in his holster.

This matha fuckin nigga uncle tom ass bitch

Nigga, I was speaking about the the nigga, sherrod. You ain't gonna over use nigga talkin bout that Uncle Tom mush mouth ass nigga, pal.

They only thing that needs a body guard when she's in the room is the buffet.

Ha, remember when David Cross laughed at Jimmy for having Kenny walk around with him everywhere at gigs? He suddenly looks a little better.

Does anyone here pay the subscription fee for Artie's show? Is it worth it in your opinion? I'm running out of free content to listen to and I'm too stupid to torrent shows.

It's well worth it, imo. Artie can talk anything, he has a million stories, with a lot of them connecting to celebs in the news (the dude has met everybody), he occasionally gets a good guest, and he's very, very raw, as in uncensored.

To me, it's the most entertaining show out there, by far. Not that there's really any competition these days.

I have to say I kept listening after the Shumer thing was brought up, really good show, just seems like a good hang with experienced comics, no one tries to interupt for a joke and shit like that

Yeah, this was the greatest comic hangout show I've heard anywhere in a long, long time.

This is the grown-ups table. LOS, YKWD, and even The Bonfire are all kids table. In this one episode, Artie shit on at least three comics those other shows wouldn't dream of shitting on.

Yeah you are 100% correct, some refreshing honesty for once

Thanks.

It's weird how honesty and busting the balls of legitimate, sizable targets has become an incredibly rare, precious commodity. Stern's gone velvet mafia and mentally checked out years ago, Opie's fighting for his life and losing on every level except financial (until the divorce, anyway), Ant's a broken shell of a horrible person to begin with, Rogan and Carolla are small potatoes each in their own rather dreary world, Maron isn't going to seriously rock any left-leaning boats, and the rest are just navel-gazing, incestuous minor-leaguers, desperately scrambling for a few crumbs.

Artie's kind of the last man standing, and he's barely standing.

I've got a horrible, sinking feeling that even these mediocre times will be looked upon as a kind of good old days compared to what's up ahead.

too stupid to torrent? Spend like 30 minutes googling and you'll be set for life.

I listened for a month. Artie is great but I tapped out because of what I perceived as too many Howard tie-ins, and too much Howard talk in general. I guess there has to be an obligatory amount of it to keep a large chunk of his subscribers interested.

Go to 1:17:09 for an hysterical Attell bit.

body gaurd/farmer they're interchangeable when she's involved.

You can tell it's simmering under the surface that the comedian community resents her or doesn't respect her but doesn't want to go full frontal in stating the obvious because of bridge-burning trepidation. Neil Brennan might be the only hope if somebody is going to go scorched earth and take her down several pegs in the most pertinent areas of looks and talent.

You can tell it's simmering under the surface that the comedian community resents her

You mean the Comedian-American community

Has Neal Brennan made fun of her?

A few innocuous jabs. He's probably biting his lip like everyone else.

It's a weird situation because she's transparently awful while being supportive and magnanimous to the pros she's surpassed in the business.

Did anyone tell artie that Norton brings a bodyguard EVERYWHERE?

Kenny is more of a Man Friday imo

How much you want to bet he was armed?

Big Amy is a fucking cunt.

Who would want to hurt Miss Piggy?

Its gone :(

Hopefully he gets paid by the pound.
