You are about to get bullied so hard for that bullshit comment. If 5 bucks is hard to come by maybe you should focus more on YOUR present than a podcast about history.
That’s one of the problems we have today. We have a bunch of nerds who have figured shit out but can’t get shit done. And on the other side are a bunch of cowboys who are getting shit done, but they haven’t figured anything out.
Louie living in a mid-century house in the woods, with a model train and a typewriter on his desk, drinking oat-milk with his coffee is exactly how i imagined him. Bless his soul. Long Live King Louie
Louie saying, "I loved him so much!" while wiping tears from his eyes is a wonderful moment. Starts @53:22 Thank you for keeping this free to view, Mr. Gillis.
"I never told anybody this in my Life" Whether or not this statement is 100% True, You can tell Louie actually really really likes being with Shane and probably sees a lot of himself in the Big Kahuna. Its really awesome to see.
Nixon wasn't bad, and had the honor to fall on his Sword when his Aides did what he specifically told them NOT to do...and Watergate was retaliation for Democrats under LBJ tapping Nixon's Campaign Office Phone Lines.
I like to think Louie's 2017 fall from grace was ironically one of the best things that could have happened to him as a person. He can 100% be himself now, even more so then he was back in the day, he doesn't have to hide probably his biggest unfortunate secret about himself anymore. Also, it's brought his comedy back down to Earth. In a way, it seems him having to start over has sharpened him comedically and has restored a bit more of his humility, which in my opinion, had been fading majorly the last few years before the scandal broke out. Just a couple of personal observations being a huge Louie fan over the years.
when he started to wear a suit on stage, I was very disappointed that he started to take himself way too seriously. but luckily that is now gone! he got a humility check and apparently it was a blessing in disguise. I wouldn't wish on anyone what happened to him, but still.
I’m not sure exactly why this is so captivating but I watched all three in order non stop and unexpectedly spent my morning on this instead of the other bullshit I was going to do. Thank you Louis and Shane.
I love how this clearly started out as a gag, like "What if we got Louis and instead of doing a normal funny podcast we just talk about history, like just discussed historical presidents of the US or something" and here we are 3 episodes in and it's a smash hit.
I really hope mssp starts doing this type of podcast on the regular. Obviously doesn't have to be with CK Cos I'd listen to shane and matt read the phone book.
@@parkerstroh6586 I think it was definitely a meta-gag of some sort. Two of the most cancelled guys on a podcast talking about... cancel culture, the state of comedy, the tull on their personal lives? Fuck no, dude! Dry as hell U.S. history, but they're both so genuinely into it that everything works. I'm also a big history buff, and a lot of the fans probably are, too. I'm loving every minute of this, but there's definitely a slight hint of irony to it.
Dave Chappelle: "My wife told me I was lucky because my job was fun. My job... is a job. I'm fun." There aren't any unfunny or uninteresting subjects, just unfunny and uninteresting people. People like Louis and Shane can make anything funny and interesting because they themselves are funny and interesting.
What you don't understand is that guys like Louis, at his age, he doesn't want a "full time" anything. It's more about freedom to do whatever, whenever.
It makes sense because history is basically just storytelling, and Louis is maybe the best “storyteller” comedian, he knows how to weave a tale hilariously
The is the greatest thing I've ever seen on podcasts. I like how Shane can bring out Louis's real personality and Louis doing this for Shane is fucking awesome. My favorite two fallen heros. The fall is over, fellas. Time to rise up!
You can't keep those two down, they are too great at what they do. People will always pay to hear what's on their mind. Both of them are in my top 2 comedians walking the Earth since Norm died.
I wouldn't say he "brings it out". This is how Louis is in a normal setting with friends. You just hadn't seen it yet, because you know.. you don't know Louis CK.
Shows good character that Shano listened to hun Brendan Schaub would never take this advice or listen to someone for this long or be as knowledgeable about history
I like the interactions where Louis can't quite tell if shane is joking or actually believes whatever conspiracy so he tip toes around it with nervous laughter
Louie is literally one of my favorite human beings. You can tell he's honestly a great guy. Just because you make mistakes it doesn't mean you're a monster.
There was never a scandal to begin with. Its not like he kidnapped the women and locked them in a room. Just a bunch of salty bitches who didnt get what they wanted out of life so they lash out at someone who did.
@@jennmullins1063What you say is true. But, unusually for such stories, it seems that he wanted the girls to act like domnatrices and degrade him. As opposed to using his position to degrade women in order to feel powerful, which is the standard narrative. His case appears to be the first case of a masochist abusing someone BECAUSE they wouldn't adopt the position of power. Still abusive, absolutely, but in a way more pathetic than malicious
Yall ever think about how Gardini started producing the podcast of a canceled hick comedian and within two years ended up hanging out with Louis C.K. in his house?
Gotta say, even with Episode 2's fuck up, our boy Shane held himself like a true dawg-even having the audacity to bark back at the GOAT whenever he would bust Shane's balls
Yes man, part of what is making these episodes instant classics for me is that there’s a dimension to it of “fan talking to a hero”. Like I keep trying to imagine what it must feel like to be sitting with louis ck and talking about the presidents, meanwhile his body of work has been an important puzzle piece to basically your entire world view and career
Listening to someone who actually lived through it, explain American history via oral tradition, brings me such joy and is what I love about it most, is that it’s truly a story to be told, good or bad.
American history would dry up fast, its only been around for 244 years, thats nothinggg compared to most countries, ie Britain (well England, Wales, Scotland etc, 1707 is when we unified as Britain i think) has been around since the 10th century (1000+ years!), America is still a baby when you compare to that. This might annoy some Americans but I see America as an extension of British history...you are us kinda, just you said screw taxes which I totally understand lol...but you still became everything you rebelled against in the end.
@@shanebluebutterfly bad example, wood...have you seen the countryside? anyways, we do actually vote on things it would be a party issue and it would probably be shot down in the house of commons/ lords, not one man can make a decision like that, the American bill of rights was actually a copy of our 1689 English bill of rights (yes we have one) contains many rights that were later included in the First Amendment, such as the right to petition and freedom of speech and debate. at that time before it was updated we also have gun rights but that was against militias which ofc we got passed that. Your forefather was Carlos Mencia, he just copied.
I love Shane’s nod of approval and genuine American pride when Louis is describing air conditioning to, straight floors, and right angles. God damn right we do. 52:30
This MUST be a permanent history podcast. Maybe one of the coolest series I’ve ever listened to. Keep doing it- we need these things now more than ever
Could not agree more, imagine if this is what the majority podcasts discussed instead of will smith slapping Chris rock or, God forbid, Johnny derp and amber turd.
This has been by far my favorite history based podcast I have ever heard. I listened from part 1 and when I finished the last episode I restarted the whole thing over. Bravo gentlemen
2022 Leave it to the fucking "cancelled" comedians to educate us about our presidents better than 10+ years of American "education" Words can't express how grateful I am that there are 4 whole parts to this glorious saga!
I'd be skeptical of the information they give. While it is certainly entertaining, some information is incorrect and they skate past important topics. For instance, in the last episode, Louis incorrectly stated that the Rosenburgs were innocent. The Rosenburgs were perceived by the public to be innocent, Bob Dylan even wrote a song about them, but with what we know now, we know that they were guilty spies.
@@dalejames486 Yeah the whole thing about the Soviets saying that they were innocent was wrong, though it was probably a misunderstanding on Louis' part. The Soviets said that they were spies, but that the information they passed on about the nuclear program was stuff they already knew. Essentially they said that the Rosenbergs weren't helpful.
I can see Louis looking at Shane like a beloved uncle and mentor. I've heard them both speak of each other very highly, and it shows. I love it. This history series has fantastic rewatch value, and I hope to see more of the like in the future. It's taken me 3 hours to watch each episode, though, as I find myself every 10 minutes or so opening a new tab and locating whatever footage or facts are brought up during the conversation. To boot, the young man clearly intoxicated, or "high", on edible marijuana snacks and fumbling around on his cellular phone most of the time was a great gag, too, fellas. Cheers to a prosperous 2020, everyone! Ain't nothing bad gonna happen this year!
I love Louis so god damn much. This was such an incredible treat, thank you guys. I've yet to see either live but it's become a new priority after seeing these.
That Louis story about his dream he had, where he met Nixon. I teared up when he did telling the story. So pure. It is an old man speaking, but its a child's dream.
The 1964 LBJ/Barry Goldwater election is worth learning about too. It was really the first time that "Democrat" and "Republican" were aligned so exactly with "liberal" and "conservative" philosophies the way they are now. Republicans like Eisenhower and even Nixon bought into the essential New Deal vision of government as providing for people's welfare in a more comprehensive way. Barry Goldwater was the first Republican with a more Libertarian philosophy of government as an oppressor that should be reduced in size to best protect people's freedoms. Meanwhile Johnson was the last Democrat to really add robust public programs to the social safety net, including Medicare and Medicaid. LBJ was also the first Democrat to consciously brand the Democratic party as a friend to black Americans. Literally every federal civil rights bill of the 20th century was passed with Lyndon Johnson as either Senate Majority Leader, President of the Senate, or President of the United States. This combined his legitimate empathy with cold pragmatism: he knew ending segregation was the right thing to do morally, and he knew it would win Democrats the black vote. Meanwhile, while Goldwater himself was no racist or segregationist, his libertarian philosophy was against the federal government having the right to impose its rules on the southern states. This opening led to a mass exodus of former Southern Democrats to the Republican Party. At the time, Goldwater was considered a total failure, because LBJ whipped him in a historic landslide in 1964. But the coalition he created, of "get the government out of my private enterprise" Republicans and "get the government out of my traditional culture" Republicans, is the same one that first Reagan and then Trump would use to become president in later eras.
Can’t believe I’m just a Dutch guy studying up on American history. Because these two gentleman are so fcking entertaining. Proves that teachers are much more important than the information/topic!
Louis CK and Shane Gillis on a Podcast together bring that magic back that Opie and Anthony had in the 2000's! You guys MUST work together regularly the Lord demands it!
Hubert Humphrey was the nominee for the Democrats in 68 McGovern was the nominee in 72 Everyone should read fear and loathing on the campaign trail 72, Greatest book on American politics ever written
I went to the comments hoping someone had called this out. That’s kind of a big mistake for Louis to make. McGovern did run in 68 but didn’t get nommed. He would probably have fared better than Humphrey if he had been nommed. Fear and Loathing 72 is such a great document.
Was searching comments to find somewhere to put this and this looks like the most appropriate palce to put another asterisk. At 34:36, (th-cam.com/video/SbqvFf7qJeM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lwnvhLxSYEjcByPS&t=2076) Louie confuses Jerry Rubin with Tom Hayden, whom were both "Yippies" and both of these men who spoke in Chicago protesting the Vietnam War, amongst other issues, were accused of crossing state lines to incite riots, conspiracy and became defendants in the infamous "Chicago 7" trial which accused Jerry Rubin and Tom Hayden as well as Abbie Hoffman, whom Louie mentioned when confusing Jerry Rubin and Tom Hayden (who was actually to Jane Fonda). Rubin became a wealthy capitalist and Hayden became a California legislator.
Im just going back and watching these again because it's so good. Nothing better than listening to people who love history talking about the people and what happened and why. And to top it off its Louie CK doing it.
These hour long sessions of Shane and Louis breaking down nearly all of American History is THE most fantastic thing my head could never imagine happening. Such a hell of a refreshing and brilliant project.
I put these episodes on all the time for background noise. I really wish more history podcasts were like this and not overproduced yapping from a bunch of NY communists
Imagine being Bobby Kennedy (who although was a huge civil rights activist) having to get up and give that speech after MLK was assassinated to a crowd of black people.. Would’ve been a great President
I love when the dog gets on the couch, it's such sweet moment that humanizes these sharp, witty and (slightly) cynical comedians. Shane can't stop smiling at it and Louis just lets him be part of the moment. Dogs really enjoy calm conversations like this. They have such a sense for mood it's crazy. And they sort of take in stress and turn it into relaxaton, similar to trees turning CO2 into Oxygen 😊. Except for Chihuahuas, they just make everything worse and are the spawns of Satan.
I could give a FUCK about the US presidents 😂 but I have watched the first one 3 times, the second twice and now the third one. Moral of the story. Louis CK fans will listen to him talk about anything 👌 great job dudes don’t let him escape
It's my b'day and I'm sick to the core. Haven't done shit nor haven't gotten out of bed due to fever but boy, it makes me happy you guys have uploaded these amazing episodes. Thank you.

I can see Louis looking at Shane like a beloved uncle and mentor. I've heard them both speak of each other very highly, and it shows. I love it. This history series has fantastic rewatch value, and I hope to see more of the like in the future. It's taken me 3 hours to watch each episode, though, as I find myself every 10 minutes or so opening a new tab and locating whatever footage or facts are brought up during the conversation. To boot, the young man clearly intoxicated, or "high", on edible marijuana snacks and fumbling around on his cellular phone most of the time was a great gag, too, fellas. Cheers to a prosperous 2020, everyone! Ain't nothing bad gonna happen this year!
“Now for sports” after Cronkite reporting jfk’s death was hilarious. I don’t care if Shane and I were the only ones laughing.
Thanks for doing these with Louie! It's been a hilarious little series and you can tell he genuinely likes Shane.
I don't even think Louis is the kind of guy to respect podcasts as a format so I guess they're good.
I think it's cause Shane isn't a yes man. Mutual respect bros
Literally just finished part 2, BLESS THE DAWG IN CHIEF
Edit: the dawg in chief blessed us with another after this
Yea I just finished the Pt. 2 as well, glad this dropped today!
Same boat, on a rainy day at work landscaping. The dawgs have blessed me. Praise allah
I love Louis so god damn much. This was such an incredible treat, thank you guys. I've yet to see either live but it's become a new priority after seeing these.
This is just too entertaining to skip. I'm very grateful we have these guys to share silly yet true stories about history. Thank you Shane and Louis!
Shane tricked me into finally jumping on the patron for this episode lol these pods with Louis have been awesome.
i have a feeling LouisCK just paid cash to keep it off the patreon as he was against it at the end of #2... fax!!!
It’s so worth it man , best value for the money on Patreon !
@@Okillydokilly69
Especially if you're a grandfathered in $1 dirtbag 🙏☝️👑💪😎
I stopped my cumtown patreon to jump on the mssp paytch. Well worth it. War mode is sick too
@@ImJuice225 Good call. Cumtown stopped being great when Nick stopped giving a shit.
Also Adam is insufferable.
5:50 Holy fuck that Di Paolo joke fucking killed me
Louis a certified supa gremlin for this
I could listen to Lou talk about literally anything for hours🔥🖤🔥 So much more than a comedian.
no. definitely just a comedian
That Louis story about his dream he had, where he met Nixon. I teared up when he did telling the story. So pure. It is an old man speaking, but its a child's dream.
Shamed him outta the Patreon. Blessed for a third time.
52:49 This could be the greatest dream ever had by a person. What a guy, lol.
I literally cried laughing at work when he did the Nixon voice going “Louis!”
This is so fuckin great. Louis is so passionate and knowledgeable, you can tell her really cares about this topic.
“No, you go ahead and eat it.” 😂
Literally the greatest podcast series right now. More Louie please. More more more more more.
🙌🏼 Praise the Lord! Louis won the argument! 🙌🏼
5:09 made me LOL for real!
- Do you wanna put it back in?
- No, you go ahead and eat it.
That monkey brain joke made me giggle in the weirdest way while I'm in the waiting room.
Ask for Dilaudid. you’re welcome
We hope your bi-weekly rectal exam went well!
This is peak podcasting.
There is something about that Nixon dream that makes so much sense when I think of the brilliant ball of complexity that Louis is.
The 1964 LBJ/Barry Goldwater election is worth learning about too. It was really the first time that "Democrat" and "Republican" were aligned so exactly with "liberal" and "conservative" philosophies the way they are now. Republicans like Eisenhower and even Nixon bought into the essential New Deal vision of government as providing for people's welfare in a more comprehensive way. Barry Goldwater was the first Republican with a more Libertarian philosophy of government as an oppressor that should be reduced in size to best protect people's freedoms. Meanwhile Johnson was the last Democrat to really add robust public programs to the social safety net, including Medicare and Medicaid.
LBJ was also the first Democrat to consciously brand the Democratic party as a friend to black Americans. Literally every federal civil rights bill of the 20th century was passed with Lyndon Johnson as either Senate Majority Leader, President of the Senate, or President of the United States. This combined his legitimate empathy with cold pragmatism: he knew ending segregation was the right thing to do morally, and he knew it would win Democrats the black vote. Meanwhile, while Goldwater himself was no racist or segregationist, his libertarian philosophy was against the federal government having the right to impose its rules on the southern states. This opening led to a mass exodus of former Southern Democrats to the Republican Party.
At the time, Goldwater was considered a total failure, because LBJ whipped him in a historic landslide in 1964. But the coalition he created, of "get the government out of my private enterprise" Republicans and "get the government out of my traditional culture" Republicans, is the same one that first Reagan and then Trump would use to become president in later eras.
The democratic party has helped African Americans so much 🙄
This has made me realize how much I've missed Louie these past few years.
Check out his website where you can watch his last few specials. So funny
Can’t believe I’m just a Dutch guy studying up on American history. Because these two gentleman are so fcking entertaining. Proves that teachers are much more important than the information/topic!
Thank you Louie, you're the best!
This series has been my favorite podcast series. Reminds me of the O and A days when louis would come on and drop knowledge
Louis CK and Shane Gillis on a Podcast together bring that magic back that Opie and Anthony had in the 2000's! You guys MUST work together regularly the Lord demands it!
Hubert Humphrey was the nominee for the Democrats in 68 McGovern was the nominee in 72
Everyone should read fear and loathing on the campaign trail 72, Greatest book on American politics ever written
I went to the comments hoping someone had called this out. That’s kind of a big mistake for Louis to make. McGovern did run in 68 but didn’t get nommed. He would probably have fared better than Humphrey if he had been nommed. Fear and Loathing 72 is such a great document.
Was searching comments to find somewhere to put this and this looks like the most appropriate palce to put another asterisk.
At 34:36,
(th-cam.com/video/SbqvFf7qJeM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lwnvhLxSYEjcByPS&t=2076)
Louie confuses Jerry Rubin with Tom Hayden, whom were both "Yippies" and both of these men who spoke in Chicago protesting the Vietnam War, amongst other issues, were accused of crossing state lines to incite riots, conspiracy and became defendants in the infamous "Chicago 7" trial which accused Jerry Rubin and Tom Hayden as well as Abbie Hoffman, whom Louie mentioned when confusing Jerry Rubin and Tom Hayden (who was actually to Jane Fonda).
Rubin became a wealthy capitalist and Hayden became a California legislator.
Im just going back and watching these again because it's so good. Nothing better than listening to people who love history talking about the people and what happened and why. And to top it off its Louie CK doing it.
These hour long sessions of Shane and Louis breaking down nearly all of American History is THE most fantastic thing my head could never imagine happening. Such a hell of a refreshing and brilliant project.
No question, you're both great stand-up comedians, but this - surprisingly great. Thanks for posting part 3.
#Louie 🐐
I'm not surprised motherfuckers (Nate Diaz voice)
And part 4
@@father3dollarbill mind blown, listening to it now
36:12 FIRED ME UP TOO.. Best part of the this series so far.
Making these free and public was such a smart move. New listener here.
These videos are unreasonably entertaining
I put these episodes on all the time for background noise. I really wish more history podcasts were like this and not overproduced yapping from a bunch of NY communists
The fact that i am seeing a part four on the next up play list just made me lol so hard.
this whole thing caught me off guard . didnt expect either of these dudes to know half this much about USA history
If Louie ever performs in your area and you attend, please purchase and wear a Nixon shirt to his set!!!!
I still can't believe there's a whole other part. We're living in the guided age, gentlemen.
Guided by Voices
This was both fascinating and touching. I just wanted to give Louie a hug at the end of it
This series is some of the most entertaining podcasting I’ve ever heard. Listened to all 4 straight through.
Louis flex that cash money shame Shane into releasing some of the best content of the year. Love ya guys no homo
Gay
The paych is a dollar, ya bum.
@@jfnarmour it hasn’t been a dollar for a few months now. Only a dollar for the dawgs who subbed at the beginning. Shoutout all the OG dollar fans
Where timestamp that, i think i missed it
Good Christ. This whole series is amazing. It's dominating my life.
Dropping a surprise pod with the Mexican Dawg Father himself on Cinco de Mayo🇲🇽 …. Hail Paimon, we are not worthy of this blessing!!!!
Big DAWG Shane keeping me from killing myself another day 👏
Louis story about his Nixon dream is one of the funniest things I've ever heard
Thank you for this, boys. I’m absolutely loving these. And thank you, Louie, for telling Shane to put this on TH-cam. More like Shame Gillis. Pfffttt.
That part about MLK got me so fired up , also re listened to “Why the moon?” And by god what a speech
Imagine being Bobby Kennedy (who although was a huge civil rights activist) having to get up and give that speech after MLK was assassinated to a crowd of black people.. Would’ve been a great President
The best things in life are the things you would never ask for, these podcasts are that.
I love when the dog gets on the couch, it's such sweet moment that humanizes these sharp, witty and (slightly) cynical comedians.
Shane can't stop smiling at it and Louis just lets him be part of the moment.
Dogs really enjoy calm conversations like this. They have such a sense for mood it's crazy. And they sort of take in stress and turn it into relaxaton, similar to trees turning CO2 into Oxygen 😊.
Except for Chihuahuas, they just make everything worse and are the spawns of Satan.
I could just listen to Louie talk forever!
I could give a FUCK about the US presidents 😂 but I have watched the first one 3 times, the second twice and now the third one. Moral of the story. Louis CK fans will listen to him talk about anything 👌 great job dudes don’t let him escape
Same here bro. I always got tha dawgs on repeat but I especially enjoyed these with Louis CK.
Facts
That's crazy. No matter how good any show is, I need a couple uears to replay a pod.
@@DerekOfRivia Even Coke Magic? I can watch that at any time and still laugh.
@@cmsmith1031 watched that on the best of bonfire ep. So funny.
It's my b'day and I'm sick to the core. Haven't done shit nor haven't gotten out of bed due to fever but boy, it makes me happy you guys have uploaded these amazing episodes. Thank you.
Happy Birthday! Feel better Nithin
@@mikewhite2085 Thank you, Mike! So far, this b'day has been good. We got loads of new Louis CK content!
Shane just laughing at Louie saying he lived in Mexico was hilarious
listened to this whole series during work thank you guys
louis is so genuinely humble, sharp n knowledgeable, and funny af
i love em
Bless Louis for slamming Shane into making this free. Putting part 3 behind a paywall would be very gay.
