you wouldn't think it possible but they've both become emphatically bigger cnuts since that interview
I get the impression Shapiro sees an opening to fill Limbaugh’s void and is making a full court press in that direction.

Just seeing this thread now. Shapiro is a total cnut. I've despised the fecker for years. He appears to be super quick and knowledgeable debating against College kids who happen to be trying to make their way through the early vulnerable stages of their world as a minority (usually LGBTQ) but gets absolutely smeared like shit on a wall when he takes on any seasoned debater. I haven't read this thread so this may already be covered, but when the 'Wet Ass Pussy' song was released, Shapiro threw a total wobbler and was up in arms over the lyrics. Shapiro actually commented that he would be advising women who get wet to go see a GP for a potential medical condition.

I bet the dinner table was super awkward later that night. The missus may have needed to sit down and have a bit of a chat with him about a few things.

@Kinky Melinky that episode was hilarious, basically he admitted to the whole world that he’s never made his wife wet. Talk about a self-own :lol: (and iirc he framed the ‘seek medical help’ part as him asking his wife who is a doctor about it, so either a) he was completely full of shit as usual or b) his wife lied to him to avoid bruising his ego)

It was the biggest foot in mouth moment I have seen in quite some time because one single comment caused massive ripples, and left far more questions than answers :lol:

Yeah it was actually interesting, especially since they're both uncharacteristically behaving like grown ups in the video.
Well yeah, apart from some unearned tributes to each other they actually discuss interesting topics.

He better now than 20-30 years ago when the likes of Jim Everett wanted to beat him up for trolling him.
TV was never his medium in my eyes.

Mid 90s to early 00s radio Jim Rome was stellar before he had to start amending his tales due to sponsorship. His callers also contributed massively. First clone email was brilliant.

Once he got big, he had to start playing too nice, too scripted.

Rome is garbage. The only thing I ever found remotely good/funny were some of his takes like "softball guy."

Does he still take random shots at soccer for no reason other than to be an ass?

‘How soccer of you’ is still a line I use to this day.

It’s quality.

But he is boilerplate crap these days. Decline started in the early 00s.

I watched about 15 minutes of it then had to stop. Hadn't even got to any controversial topics, it was still on the warm up soft stuff, I just can't stand the way he communicates. It's like he doesn't really attempt to answer or even understand the question, he just hears a topic and then just recites whatever facts or talking points he has about that topic.

This was one of his better interviews imo. Good topics and no arguing.

I assume all the credit most go to Russell for that! I like ol' Russ so I thought I'd give it a go.
Absolutely. Brand has turned into a pretty good interviewer since his Trews days. He has a unique ability to speak to others in a way that disarms them, which usually results in decent discussions.

Yeah he's a great conversationalist. I realised in this he seemed a bit different though, I'm not sure if he was bored by Shapiro or just hiding his frustration with him, but he seemed fairly disinterested, even his small talk about being a father was fairly forced and lacking his usual humour and verbosity. I may give it another go at some point if it gets better later in the interview.

I honestly can’t wrap my head around why anybody would make any effort to listen to this thundering great turd of a “human being”.

Ben: "Yes."
Audience: Rapturous Applause
Bill: delivers some poorly told, trite and probably racist joke without any wit, timing or a punchline.
Audience: Hysterical Laughter
Weed: Douses herself in weedkiller.
