Fantastic person

Liar! Dr. A. Egon Cholakian knows what you said, and sends his regards.

hope u will have chance to come again

I'm sorry you had to go through this 🙏

Bin auch deutscher und folge dir schon seit Jahren. Echt geil zu sehen wie sich zwei meiner Online Welten hier treffen. Ich hoffe du kommst nochmal wieder. Du hast Dans Energie perfekt gematcht in AE lol

ae?

​@@GIGACHAD148 Anything Else, the show that Destiny is doing with Dan. I don't know anything about "the stuff concerning" Anything Else though.

@@6JLU ik anythin else,but u just tellin me this made me realize that it totally slipped my mind that ae was anything else lol

@@6JLU Destiny admitted that they screwed up and weren't very attentive/responsive when he got there lol

I get it that dggrs get a religious experience was they see a minority interact with destiny but chill, he was just okay

They always stay on topic and never do random tangents like dogs chasing squirrels.

HAAHAHAHA

LOL

@@GolemRising How about Dogwarts?

🤣🤣🤣

Getting ready for Halloween.

It rhymes so it's true, I don't know what else there's to say about it

@@BridgesStudio when Dan ran

Ranton himself

when he talked about shaolin

I enjoyed seeing two sides of the same guest from the differing formats. Bridges went deep into who and what is Ran. Anything Else was three dudes vibing and shooting the shit. I listened hard with the former and laughed hard with the latter.

The banter, would love to see him on Anything Else again

Sounds right. Safe edgy/free courage is like a comedian making a trans joke in a rural town.

Yeah, sure... Never seen that word before... Good to watch an American Podcast and then learn what kind of vocabulary German conservatives use to feel better about themselves.

Okay now this is unbelievable. I mean Dan spending money and not on Intel?

Wowzer! True!! Congratulations! Thats actually the literal purpose in having both podcasts 😮 otherwise they would just do one. Crazy right? Almost like its completely intentional, and even advertised / promoted as such.

We are kicking Steven from the show if he showed up in sweats and T-shirt.

What happened, I watched both podcasts fully and didn't see like a fallout type thing?

@@frostkanalas on rantons stream he went over his experience before the podcasts. Basically he got there 30minutes early and was waiting outside for quite a while and no one responded to his messages. While at the studio they spent an hour or so setting up. Overall it felt unprofessional but the podcast itself was one of the best so far.

@@ericc7286 oh yeye, i just watched a video of ranton and dan talking

Oh man, Kill Tony is the worst. It stinks of insecurity, nepotism, and unoriginality. It's fine you enjoy it but I reckon it'll become tiresome for you in not that long.

I've seen a lot of people on Kill Tony who aren't funny but get carried by racial humor. Kill Tony very much feels like the type of crowd to carry that weight for them because it seems like they see themselves as the last people/comics who can make edgy jokes. It seems to get worse and worse every time I see a clip.

I can see where yall are coming from, but on the flip side of this discussion I do think there are alot of people out there who are indeed overly sensitive. As I mentioned, roasting people can be very funny in the right context, as can every form of humor. Just like there is a middle ground for the comedians to strive for in their “edginess-ratio,” so too do the consumers of comedy need to remember that in the end, it is just about making people laugh and forget about their tribulations for a while. Hurtful jokes can be hurtful, no shit. But it’s up to both sides to handle the matter in a mature manner. A grown man whining and crying on the internet about a joke they don’t like is pathetic. The vast majority of these situations, I’d wager, is mostly due to oversensitivity on the part of the viewer. BUT that doesn’t downplay the situations where people are just insulted and not laughing. Just like Ranton said, you have the power to make any joke you want, but I have the power to find it stupid, unfunny, and therefore just bigoted. WHICH BTW, is how it largely works in the comedy world including on Kill Tony. If you get up there and make a racist/sexist joke and nobody laughs….oh boy you’re in for it. Comedy sort of polices itself in that manner, to a degree. Real comedians and enthusiasts don’t find shticky edgy humor particularly funny or interesting, at least not for long.

@@sagenod440 I don't think it has to do with sensitivity. In fact I don't think people are as sensitive as most people like to claim. Saying people are just sensitive is just another way to avoid criticism imo. Kill Tony very much feels like a good amount of the comics there are trying to write edgy jokes because that is what people in that crowd want to hear. It feels like being funny comes second. If you compare Kill Tony to amateurs at Laugh Factory it's a night and day difference. I've seen a woman on Kill Tony look like she just got through doing meth and all she did was say a bunch of racist shit that didn't string together in any kind of way and was well received. She was damn near slurring like she was drunk but nobody cared because she did the thing. She said the taboos! I agree that comedy and comedians check itself but a lot of it goes unchecked. Let's not be naive. People thought western politics checks itself through freedom of speech and battle of ideas but look at the landscape now. Russian influenced talking points from a bunch of conservatards lying. And they have MASSIVE following. Kill Tony feels like the comedy version except of course not political or Russia influenced. Kill Tony is very much the crowd of "fuck cancel culture. Freedom of speech. It's just a joke. You are too sensitive. we can't tell these type of jokes anymore. We used to be able to... we are being it back. Etc." like how everyone loves to spin it without realizing they aren't part of a small niche group of freedom fighters. They are part of a disillusioned hoard. I'd much rather watch the laugh factory because those comedians actually put in effort towards their jokes they aren't just free balling edgy jokes that sound like they came from 4chan

@@brian1436 Well we can agree to disagree on the degree to which people are being overly-sensitive (on the internet in particular) but as for the example on KT, I’m curious who you’re talking about exactly. I know there have been plenty of people to have blatantly racist sets that I don’t find funny, and I think that’s quite often the sentiment of the rest of the audience, which becomes a point of criticism which the judges can use to roast the comedian, especially when the jokes aren’t funny. I can’t really speak on the general audience in terms of their political views, but this is a show in Austin, Texas we’re talking about. It’s actually a very diverse city but there’s a lot of casual MAGA republicans in Texas. I’ve lived here my whole life and love the state but the amount of Trump followers is disconcerting. So yeah, KT leans right, obnoxiously at times. But I think people should remember not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For edgy humor, you know which regular does it the most? Hans Kim, who made it his whole schtick and happens to be the worst-regarded regular to the point where many believe he should have been replaced by another comedian. While I certainly understand the cringe and frustrating aspect you’re referring to with regards to the right’s prevalent anti-woke sentiments and “freedom of speech; it’s just a joke” defense, to this point I would say not to necessarily let that fact define your overall perspective of the show if you so choose. If you’ve seen the show as much as I have, you’ll know that it remains light-hearted at the core. That not to say they don’t go overboard, but most of the time when a currently left-leaning centrist like me has the opinion that something is too racist, sexist, etc. the rest of the people at the show will feel the same way. Bad energy is bad energy, and that’s what makes the biggest difference in stand up comedy

You don’t need a social credit system or hyper extreme punishment for littering. If the penalty for littering was death, but virtually nobody was caught, nothing would change. We need a strong marketing/social campaign that hammers in social shame for littering. Such that if you throw trash into the street, people will call you out like you just pooped in the street. You also need to have frequency of enforcement upped. If the penalty for littering was $20, but there there was a 50% chance of getting caught, you’d see less littering than making a $2000 fine but 99% odds of not getting caught

Love the sinica podcast, good recommendation for guests, though a lot of their guests are academics or involved in politics and may not be willing to come on a destiny show.

I think we’re seeing the Democrat party correct on the issue. Partly because it’s the only policy that Republicans run on and part because it’s a very easy correction to earn votes. We can acknowledge the strain immigrants put onto communities and put policies into protecting the borders. I’m not certain what you do for truly xenophobic people because they’re incompatible with liberty. Perhaps you make English the official language of the US and encourage immigrants to adopt American culture.

there are clips that came out before this episode released.

No

who the heck is dan

Ranton wouldn't have banned me on the subreddit

Depends

All these Dan haters are the perfect example of people laughing at the joke for wrong reasons Roasting Dan was an in joke w the community. But now it’s been co opted by the hate brigade lmao
