      Joe took Shane's joke as a personal dig for not bringing him on the show sooner like just after he was cancelled.... But joe is right.... He has his show booked way in advance.... And what Shane said wasn't ever a joke or funny.... So why would he laugh?? It was like a personal half dig between friends..... Like banter..... It was awkward but it wasn't funny..... Did anybody watching it laugh? Or did you cringe for Shane's sake?

      Also sometimes Joe does a fake laugh and hits the table or says haha or he will make a noise..... But that's because he has heard it b4..... They are doing jokes out of there act on a podcast like as if they are on TV..... Joe undesirable gets bored with it.... You people really think that Joe doesn't understand comedy?? Then you don't understand comedy or Joe...... I'm not really a big fan of his standup..... I haven't seen alot of it..... He might not be as funny as some other people..... But he is funny on the show and in real life..... And plenty of people think he is funny enough to tune in every week and buy tickets to his shows..... You internet people are the very definition of coming to a conclusion with out the necessary information..... You think you are smart enough to see what's going on..... But your limited intelligence prevents you from coming to an accurate conclusion..... It's like the Dunning-Kruger effect....

It’s such a common fallacy that boneheads like you are confident in talking about it like it’s actually an epidemic. Less than .5 percent of kids that identify as trans get too surgery or any other kind of non reversible surgery. The ones that do go through many meeting with counselors that have to approve of the surgery. They typically get hormone injections which is totally reversible or testosterone blockers which is also totally reversible. These 2 idiots have no idea what they’re talking about and neither do you

      All part of the same game. Owen is wild. He goes to the weirdest places. Building a community is usually based on a foundational belief. Crushing was not as stable as his christian following apparently. Which is interesting to see. Belief in God is a solid foundation. The 147 IQ did not see it coming. Nor did he do an internal critique. At least not in this dimension. If he only knew he was not far off. He just had to read "From Crack To Christ" after eating the mind enhancing brownie power up to have been given the gravy winks he needed to make it through today. Personally, it is interesting to watch a man yell about topics we normal folk are not allowed to mutter. In this world there is room for the guy. Just do not bring him on your show or you will be reduced to a unit of measurement or/and he might make you into father figure for a few months and compose a birthday song for Jordan Peterson, while claiming Steven Crowder is a mans man and was doing "It". Consume at your own risk the junk you pickup from the streams of Superbad Owen's mind. He may trick you into giving him trinkets and shit. It might be important to tell people not to feed the bear.

    I was there when it happened. I was all in for Owen when it happened. I got a bunch of my friends into his comedy and trying to support him standing up to the Hollywood evil. But after about 8 months to a year of it, it started to show the symptoms of a cult. He calls himself "Big Bear" because he's really tall, like 6'7-6'9. But all his minions were adopting their own bear monachers. He would have his minions mail him physical cash in the mail and call it a "super chat." More than once he said how easy it would be to start a cult. I remember he got "the bears" to call a comedy club and leave angry messages for cancelling his show. If you dared disagree with him or if you wrote something that "the bears" questioned they'd attack. When I realized it was cult like behavior I stuck around for a couple months to see where it was going? I was waiting to see if it became a militia or something? It was so nuts to watch. He built a network for himself and it probably still works to this day. He teamed up with a guy named Vox Day ( Theodore Robert Beale) and they were starting their own RUclips like network where you pay for their content the last time I checked.

      Back then, I was a mess mentally and emotionally. I desperately wanted to wake others up, but had no idea how to go about it. When people disagreed, called me tin foil hat boy, I got annoyed and even angry sometimes b/c it all seemed so obvious to me.
      However, OB still hasn't seemed to grow out of that phase. A few years ago, I watched everything he put out, but then started seeing him ban very reasonable commenters who offered information counter to his and the whole bear stuff came off as really ghey to me.

    Dude, you didn’t even talk about his falling out with Steven crowder. That dude had a complete breakdown and started posting videos talking ish about crowder, his family, him “not allowing his wife to get pregnant” (funny because they now have twins), and all sorts of stuff to the point that crowder kicked him off of his show and blocked him on everything. He literally went at everyone that ever helped him.

    You should make a video on the Sam Harris Lex fridman podcast. That was some of the most disturbing conversation I have ever witnessed.Lex asks him the perfect questions. Lines him up to bat and he knocks it out of the park then the follow up question will be the complete opposite side of his first case and Sam Harris will continue to make a case against the very case he just made and it continues with contradiction after contradiction it is loaded with great content to analyze because it's pretty insane to hear someone sit there for 4 hours and completely talked out their ass in contradict every statement coming out of their mouth and having someone else do it to them and be completely unaware of the questions they are being asked and the responses they are giving. He is completely clueless that he spent the entire time contradicting himself. The dude's brain is seriously broken and he can't even reason anymore. I have never seen anything like it but it's scary because the guy used to be brilliant and now he's useless. Completely fried.

      I actually gained a lot of respect for Lex with his approach to that conversation. Lex kept harping on 'humility', which is exactly the key/answer to Sam's biggest issue. Instead of taking the hint, Sam argues every point he makes with the ferocity that could only come from knowing he's always right, despite the obvious unlikelihood of that being the case. Ironically, he has a good 45 minute rant on how it's impossible to be an expert on more than a small handful of topics, due to the complexity of our modern world, but then confidently and definitively states his opinions as facts on myriad topics. He then stated that people who are intelligent and eloquent (like he admits he is himself), with a cursory understanding of a topic, can convince themselves they understand said topic much better than they actually do and string together bullshit that is difficult for most people to discern from the truth. My head almost exploded. It reminded me of how intelligent psychopaths think they can talk their way out of a murder conviction in a police interrogation, because the cops are dumber than they are. They may be accurate in their assessment, but those 'dumb' cops somehow manage to 'brute force' that intelligence by getting the psycho to talk enough to find the contradictions in their story. Sam always seems stuck in the formal debate mentality: landing dozens of spicy jabs and emotionally winning an audience is not the same thing as being right.

      Does being “edgy” justify the powers that be in stripping a man of his livelihood?

    Shane Gillis isn't a political comedian. He keeps getting pigeon-holed as a "right-wing comedian," but he's not. The fact that he did a BlazeTV sketch doesn't mean that he is, only that he likes to work. Also, the BlazeTV fireman sketch is actually a good sketch because it had a point to make, that the media will create a hero, chew them up, spit them out and then walk over their body on their way to creating another hero.
