Good rec — I just checked him out. “Stewart Lee - Context-free words” on YouTube seems like an example of that jazz style you described. He even drops a Gervais reference:
“If Ricky Gervais shouts ‘Mong’ in a forest, over and over, and there are no Americans there to tell him he’s a genius … is it offensive?”

Lol I love how they talk about top comedians and have never mentioned Stewart Lee - without a doubt the best comedian to walk a stage.
He does things you completely don't expect at every turn - it's essentially the jazz of the comedy world, not discernable rythmn then it all clicks.

Hey mis, surely after new album gets put on vinyl you put the self titled and Eternal Bummer EPs on vinyl like the self titles on side A and Eternal Bummer on side B. Love both the EPs and would be awsome to have it on vinyl alongside the new album when it drops

Mislav, I really appreciated your response to my comment about tame impala and KP. Gave me a good appreciation of your perspective.
Shame you ruined all credibility you have by talking shit about GNR, talk shit about Axl all you want, but slash? Fuck you dude haha. Nah love ya

Billy Connolly is one of those off the cuff comedians like mislav was referring to who is actually famous. Apparently never had any plans and just ad libed once he got on stage. He also did the laugh at his own jokes while rather than rehearsing when to laugh. Could see him multiple nights in a row and the show would be mostly different.

I enjoy the comedy talk, I'd like to hear Jordan talk about good Australian comedians, especially the more "obscure" ones too like Ben Ellwood. He does great off the cuff shit, especially with shutting down/working with hecklers.
I also love any time Jordan shits on TV comics like Charlie Pickering and Kitty Flanagan, I know it's 90% of the pods but it's honestly what keeps me coming back.

Deadbeat hero is kino, but his more recent stuff is pretty average. Louis C.K. is the GOAT I think.

Have you lads ever watched Doug Stanhope's standup? He's fuckin hilarious off the cuff but he's also got this near god like ability for joke crafting as well. He's edgy without being a hack and is always unpredictable from the start to the end of a bit.
Jordan, being ever the contrarian, would probably think he's shit, but worth a shot anyway

I think that’s guy who messaged you about ‘vc’ was talking about venture capital. He was basically asking Jordan if he’s ever thought about becoming one of those investors on shark tank.

If we're talking about Gervais's special Supernature, I just watched it, I thought it was pretty good. Although you are right it kind of seems he is trying to be offensive, it made me think of Jimmy Carr's dark joke special which fucking sucked. I couldn't even sit through Jimmy Carr's special but at least this latest Ricky Gervais special has well written jokes.

I watched both the Ricky Gervais special and Bring Back Apu tonight and I agree with Jordan. Gervais might have been more polished but it was too predictable which made it kinda bland.

Does Jordan still watch those vintage Italian pornos with voyeuring hunchbacks in them or is he back to those Hustler magazines Mojacko gave him? Also what’re your thoughts on nationalising Red Rooster

hey guns n roses is funny too, though maybe its just funny to me.
ricky wasn't exactly a spring chicken when he did those golden globes speeches chikoo, i dont think age means you can't be funny anymore. i liked ricky's old stand up but to be honest stephen merchant and karl pilkington were funnier on the ricky gervais show. i haven't seen his new standup but i think i feel like how jordan does, shitting on "woke" culture is a tired gag and something everyone agrees with unless they use twitter on the daily.
