Yup, like in all of my years, I've seen genitals twice in bathrooms. One time in the Marines when I was a urinalysis checker for the day and we had to "watch the stream exit and go into the cup" (not that anyone really did this, but we had to be in the position to see it), and then once at work when a guy at the urinal had a medical condition and collapsed and it couldn't be helped, but also in a medical situation last thing I cared about. (fortunately he's fine now). It seems that some people think that guys just go around sword fighting and helicopter spinning in the restrooms.

I've been watching him for years, geez I think it's early or middle into his first marriage. I KNOW that sounds like a weird metric to use but honestly it's not. We are interact AND especially as comedians, relationships and interconnectivity and how that works for them and humor behind it goes into their act. So I will tell you this, he does remind me in some ways of Carlin....as does a few others since he's been alive.

Adding to the trans rights comment, recent studies published to the National Library of Medicine actually show that the rate of people unsatisfied with their transition and/or detransitioners is close to 0.1% and in the cases studied, the majority of them were due to outside factors like social acceptance!

Other times, I find myself getting caught up in the craft of building a series of jokes into a bit, and then bit after bit into an entire show. More and more, I'm enjoying seeing how you create a show, how what seems like stream of consciousness is really all completely designed. And I love it! It's kinda lame to announce that you "get" another person - far better when they say that you get them - but I feel like I really get your humor and your thought process in general.

Such an incredible special. My personal favorite is still the Recipe but this is steve in top form. Arguably his best yet.

Years ago I had the pleasure of seeing Steve perform at a cute little brewery in Lynnwood Washington. At the time I believe he was working on what would eventually become the recipe, and when I listened through the recipe, I had to share it with anybody I could get to sit down with me for an hour because I thought it was the Magnum opus of his work. The most exciting thing about Steve, is that I'm pretty sure this show was better. To be improving this deep into a career is incredible and I'm glad to have fallen in a heckler rabbit hole 5 or 6 years ago when I did.
