For sure. The worst thing he did was make that virtue signalling apology. Does he actually think that men shouldnt be allowed to persue women who admire them? I doubt it. I think his apology was a bad joke.
Last time I checked, they weren't tied down and forced to see his knob. And after all is seeing an unwanted penis that much damaging? Granted, it is not on the positive side of the ethics scale- but it is ridiculous we are even bringing words like ethics for over some matter like this. How have we become so weak as a species?
No, exposing oneself to women is not inherintly unethical. In all cases Louis had consent except the one time he was mistaken and thought he had consent when he didnt. Honest mistake. He never touched anyone or forced anything. Besides, since when is nudity immoral anyways.
I think this is the problem we have much like Louis back then most people don't see that sometimes the power dynamic that exists can prevent a person from consenting and furthermore I think the best person to explain that is Louis himself which I why it makes me so sad to see people on my side trying to deplatform him in the way that they are
It makes me sad to see great men crumple into spineless heaps and fail to defend themselves because of fear and social pressures. The power dynamic in Hollywood is what pushed Louis to apologize, not his guilt.
Richard.Cleaning Brite I would really like to know why you are upset. Are you against Louie or do you support him? Your comment was all over the place.
Why would I be upset? All I asked was when he was coming back. And if he were to come back, it would be funny if he were to make jokes about the shit he got into. And why do i have to be against/in support of him? I'm just here observing, man. Calm down.
theultimateninja I think you made a mistake or misread something. I asked the crazy guy Richard.Cleaning Brite why he was upset. He was clearly very angry at you but didn't clarify why he was angry at your very neutral comment.
I still like Louis. What he did was wrong but it was far less severe than the other scandals we've seen in the last few months. It appears he's stopped such behavior and deeply regrets it. Here's to a comeback.
I guess I don’t understand how what he did was so wrong. Maybe I just don’t have all of the facts. These women voluntarily went back to his room. Ya da ya da ya da, he asks if they want to watch him whack off. He doesn’t tie them down, bolt the door or hold them at gunpoint. They sit and watch. What’s wrong with that? Some people are into that, I guess.
Enthios Ah. Ok. That’s makes sense now as to why he’s lumped into the Harvey Weinstein crew. You’re right, it’s not rape and as far as I know they were free to just walk out?
Yeah he basically did what if anyone of us would have did would be a SEX CRIME. we'd probably be on tons of sexual classes that we'd have to pay for , goto jail and have to be registered as a sex offender regardless if they were kids or not sooooo yeah.... FUCK THIS WEIRDO!!!
fuck that sticker. He asked and they said sure. If you don't want to see something or don't like it. Its pretty fucking simple. You SAY NO! He didnt force them or hold them there. Get over it.
He’s so right about meeting guys/girls. Even if there’s no chance of sleeping with the chick he’d rather hang around the chick. It’s funny how the guys mind goes right to that too
Something bothered me about the way Steve used the word misanthropic very deliberately. Then when Louis started to reply he cut him off by saying the word socialize. Almost like he figured that this abrasive American wouldn't know the definition of the word misanthropic so he was helping him out. What he doesn't realize is Louis actually really smart so did not need any help.
I have the same friends since 20 years and i cant make new guy friends. But if its a girl, i show slightly more empathy and try to connect on some level but with dudes i have no interest at all in sharing personal things. I don't know if its because i'm attracted to women and can't see the purpose in having more male friends. I guess once you've become an adult you just get tired of meeting new people
Please come back Louis CK, forget about metoo they are bunch of crazies, who think men have to change his way because a woman is in the house; if they cannot handle it exit door was there for a reason.
We miss you Louis.
Louis is awesome. his scandal is far more embarrassing than actually unethical.
For sure. The worst thing he did was make that virtue signalling apology. Does he actually think that men shouldnt be allowed to persue women who admire them? I doubt it. I think his apology was a bad joke.

It's time to start the " Louis Come Back" movement!
#comebacklouis
Nas 1758 agree! #comebacklouie
Normally, I find it difficult to distinguish the different voices in this podcast. But Stephen Merchant is instantly recognizable
Same, I recognize Merchant’s voice from the work he’s done with Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington.
Wheatley ❤
The fade out at the end with the last word ("faggot") added to the comedy. Awesome!!
Whens he coming back? Man it'd be so funny if he made jokes about the trouble he's in.
theultimateninja like he has a choice haha. When he comes back, it's the only material he's gonna be able to do for at least a year
Richard.Cleaning Brite What??
Richard.Cleaning Brite I would really like to know why you are upset. Are you against Louie or do you support him? Your comment was all over the place.

i still love u
"About a gallon" cracked me up
Louie come back we miss you
Stephen Merchant interviewer- credit anyone?
Stephen Merchant sucks.
James Ash Said no one ever.
Think it's from an old BBC Radio 6 interview on Merchant's show: ruclips.net/video/9MdS9PVKyq8/видео.html
James Ash wow... Crazy Statement..
His voice makes me want to invade britannia.
Excerpted from a half hour radio interview by Stephen Merchant.
Original broadcast aired 2008-08-03 on BBC 6 Music (now known as BBC Radio 6 Music).
Lucas Thompson The 00s; when he was at his comedic best.
Who wants to see Karl Pilkinton with Louis?
2 virgos...for sho
but how would he know witch one he was?
He'll be back! what he did is not the worst thing in the world
Connor McGrath What he did is not even a crime. The news outlets should be fucking sued for portraying it as such. Disgusting af.
Every time I hear Stephen I cannot help but hear Wheatley from Portal 2 talking in front of a microphone
I clicked on this and got a shock, louise ck's voice and smerch's voice.
Nice shock
i need louis’ voice every now and then. i wrote to him i love(d) him. he never replied..
Funny is funny.
Can you imagine Louis CK doing The Ricky Gervais show with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington
Great to hear some new CK. Is that Stephen Merchant ?
Please mention that it's Stephen Merchant in the title or the description
BRING HIM BACK! BRING HIM BACK!
Best stand up ever
I still like Louis. What he did was wrong but it was far less severe than the other scandals we've seen in the last few months. It appears he's stopped such behavior and deeply regrets it. Here's to a comeback.

Enthios It wasn't wrong, he had consent, this is insane.
Louis CK still the GOAT
The fact Louis knows who Richard Madely is has made my day.
I want him to come back and do half an hour on jurkin off and how "hard" it was to do so in front of people these days....I miss him
Louis is the best! I hope he’ll be back soon!
That interview was from that British guy from Extras
brad lafferty
Stephen Merchant
I am the same way with meeting people, especially the guys and girls thing.
FREE LOUIE CK
That shit joke was fucking hilarious
Listening to PULP! Common people, come on !
Gotta love the merch and louie c.k
He’s so right about meeting guys/girls. Even if there’s no chance of sleeping with the chick he’d rather hang around the chick. It’s funny how the guys mind goes right to that too
Hey Louis! I'm writing this from the future. Seriously! Don't let your daughter near the ponies in Italy! Seriously!
Lol they’ll bite her!
#LouieDidNothingWrong
IS that that guy from portal 2?
Joujojus yea it is
I think he is. Stephen Merchant.
I'm a big fan of your show!
when was this recorded?
Something bothered me about the way Steve used the word misanthropic very deliberately. Then when Louis started to reply he cut him off by saying the word socialize. Almost like he figured that this abrasive American wouldn't know the definition of the word misanthropic so he was helping him out. What he doesn't realize is Louis actually really smart so did not need any help.
You (interviewer) begs for free tickets and in the same sentence says not sure if you'll be availible? 😂😂😂
Head like a fucking orange anyone?, that's what's missing?
Louis is on the right channel.
"Award-winning comedian Louis CK".
Yeah not comedy but winner of the Sam's Club Premium Member Award.
Louis has gotten awesome since 2012
I have the same friends since 20 years and i cant make new guy friends. But if its a girl, i show slightly more empathy and try to connect on some level but with dudes i have no interest at all in sharing personal things. I don't know if its because i'm attracted to women and can't see the purpose in having more male friends. I guess once you've become an adult you just get tired of meeting new people
How old is this interview?
Les Webster from 2008 so 10 years ago :)
3 sexual accusations ago.
I feel like I should have paid to hear that
Didn't know who the second gentleman was, kept asking myself why Wheatley from Portal is here, and then looked him up.
im going to try my best to avoid socializing to the up most of my ability
3:28 (about Louis) "He's very much down with the kids...."
Oh no. I think I can smell another CK scandal coming up....
I just touched my eye after cutting hot peppers for 5 hours.
Are you ok?
He never should've fucked with Woody Allen
Is this a recent podcast?
Merchant is brilliant! Really would like if he would be one of the biggest interviewers, cause guys like Pierce Morgan disgust me.
Is that Steven Merchant along with CK?
Those were grade A diarrhea jokes.
Please come back Louis CK, forget about metoo they are bunch of crazies, who think men have to change his way because a woman is in the house; if they cannot handle it exit door was there for a reason.
If R.Kelly can come back then so can Louis.
Oh ... I thought the question was, "Is Louis C.K. an over-rated comic?"
Not one mention Of Merchant at all in the title.
This is a talented guy I would never want to meet 😅
Really? I would backhand 50 old ladies A DAY if it'd help me somehow get to meet/talk to Louis.
If Logan Paul lay this low, i would forgive
Louis didn't force the women to watch, he never did a Weinstein.
'cocaine and hookers' .....if only that was it Louis :(
Wheatley
RIP :(
I like his offensive jokes but the gross ones make me sick
Wait is he back on? For real? Is the stink clearing out?
old interview with stephen merchant 2008
When did Brian May start interviewing comedians?
Before the masturbation...
Actually a few years after it
Intorverted??????????????????????????????????????
Intorverted?
It’s like introverted, only it’s spelled wrong. 👍
Why is this pervert appearing in my feed? Thought he had been banished.
