00:00Any Shane Gillis from the ESPYs last night?

00:03Looked like he did a good job last night.

00:06Did he? I didn't watch it.

00:07Yeah, I was unable to watch because last night was the celebration of life for our guy, Lyndon Byers.

00:17Who really watches the ESPYs though now?

00:20I don't know. I think people probably watch Shane Gillis.

00:23Yeah, maybe him because people talk about him.

00:26He's such a really good comedian.

00:27But I mean, even with that, I saw some of the things he said and it's tough because you've got to tiptoe around things and maybe he can't really.

00:36It didn't seem like he was tiptoeing last night.

00:38No, with some of the stuff I heard he didn't, but he was definitely making sure he was putting a disclaimer on it.

00:43Like, you know, we're just joking here. Trying to have a good time.

00:45Can I ask a question?

00:46Yeah.

00:47I don't really get him.

00:50What makes him so funny? I don't get it. I'll be honest.

00:56Well, I mean, are you comparing him to yourself?

00:59No, no, no. Craig, I'm not a comedian. I'm not a standout.

01:03Well, you appear to be attempting to judge a comedian.

01:06Yeah, that's what we do, don't we? We stand and judge acts and performances that we see?

01:12No, I generally...

01:13You don't judge a musical act when you see them?

01:16Yes, I do.

01:17Oh, okay.

01:17So you don't find Shane Gillis to be funny?

01:19No.

01:21Interesting.

01:21It's very kind of just like, I don't know, I don't...

01:25So that's why I'm asking.

01:27Who do you find to be funny in that realm, in the comedian realm?

01:30I always thought Chappelle was very funny.

01:32Chappelle, fantastic.

01:33Fantastic comedian.

01:34Bill Burr? Does Bill Burr make you laugh?

01:36No, I... So that's... I think he's funny, but I don't... I dislike him because I think he's a douche, which is a whole separate thing.

01:45So he's probably... Yes, he's funny, but it's not for me.

01:48Sharm, I think that the hottest thing to do... Because we can... You know, you're right.

01:52We always judge this. We judge that.

01:54I think the hottest thing to do is judge comedians because everybody...

02:00Like, humor is so different on, like, what we find to be funny.

02:04Like, I enjoy the Seinfeld show, but I don't think he's that funny as a stand-up comic.

02:12It's a great boy.

02:13Like, yeah, I love the show, but, like, when I see him do, like, the stand-up comedy...

02:18And listen, I haven't seen a lot of it, but I don't find them funny.

02:23I think Cat Williams is hilarious as a stand-up comic.

02:28He doesn't have a show, but his comedy is different.

02:31I used to, you know, so I used to like George Lopez, right?

02:35Oh, you did.

02:36Yeah.

02:37You did.

02:37I liked his show.

02:38Said no one ever.

02:40Wait, you liked his show?

02:41Yeah, I used to like...

02:42Oh, the Lopez show.

02:43Yeah, the Lopez show was great.

02:44Get out of here.

02:46I might have to go home.

02:48George Lopez is great.

02:49His Jack-in-the-box joke, very good.

02:51I cannot do a show with two people who enjoyed the George Lopez show.

02:56I haven't watched George Lopez in, like, 10 years.

02:59Yeah, it's been a long time.
