Even then I think I’ve listed to this a few times through and I’m still like oh that’s right! I mean shit I still couldn’t name all the presidents they did off the dome
Louis is such an important person in American culture. Shane letting him just rant and rant is so great. Shane doesn't make it about himself, he just lets Louis go. This was an amazing Podcast series.
@@johnnymoonstomp Rogan has done more for comedy and culture than jewey ck. The Hungarian kosher said faggot and retard while talking shit about his wife and 2 daughters. 18-30 men relating to this is depressing
He's a jerkoff comedian. Literally. He also just told you President Reagan was shot with an "exploding bullet" and that "all the doctors were in danger" because of it. I wouldn't put that much stock in this dope.
We haven’t gotten this kinda Louis since he hosted o&a. This is the most amazing thing. I’m supposed to be working and I just can’t stop watching Louis passionately speak and his dog being adorable
Bro I was just going to comment the same thing. Louie in this type of forum hasn’t been heard by the public in years. The fact he sits down with Shane and gets him to put this on TH-cam instead of patreon is in itself historical. I hope Shane Matt and Louie do more shows together.
I miss those old O&A episode’s with Louis kicked back making off the cuff jokes where the timing is so perfect especially between Ant and Patrice, but the phone call between Louis and Donald Rumsfeld was AMAZING.
If you're interested, there are several appearances of Louis on Marc Maron's podcast where you see this exact side of him, only even more personal and human because they're old friends going back to when they first started comedy, who eventually had a falling out and a reconciliation in their friendship. Some of the most fascinating stuff I've ever heard.
Man, I would murder for a semi-regular Louie history podcast. Louie and Shane on the mongols, l and s on the 80s. Anything. Do it. Do as many Louie episodes as possible.
Seeing how articulate Louis is, I would love to see him expound on anything; not just history. I always loved his comedy, but I have a whole new respect for him.
@@headfullofacid8088 perhaps a new sketch series together. "Louis" the series is one of the best shows, not just comedies, of all time. And Shane's pilot "Tires" and the sketches he has made show that he has so much potential. Louis has history with selling specials and shows through his website, so networks be damned.
Louie's problem is that he hears one line from a politician intended for an audience and it actually informs his understanding of how they act and what they think their roles are.
Well making at least the first two was the right choice. Parts 3 and 4 aren't going to get near as many views but would have helped the patreon. Shane had the correct idea.

when louie talked about shanes standup at the end, my god shane has made it and i hope louies words make him sleep tight at night. most people would kill to have louie compliment them like that, especially about the craft of comedy. love you shane your the next louie!
"You and me are probably disagreeing about everything but i cant get your sound anywhere else" gave me goosebumse for shane. Such an awesome compliment!
“To be made fun of, is a place of strength. I can’t take you seriously, unless you don’t take yourself seriously. If you are a person to be taken seriously, then you can be made fun of. If you can’t be made fun of, than you cannot be taken seriously.” - Louis Alfred Székely aka Louis CK
Yeah. He's really thoughtful and insightful for sure. When he describes how the idiots on American Idol don't get the essence of Bridge and Folsom prison, I was like loving it
Louie PLEASE start your own podcast or at least be a guest more frequently on other podcasts! Your way of describing anything is so stimulating and funny. It's the relief we all need
@@imperius88sure but he totally changed as a person. This is not a Biden verse Trump thing but, we should be able to admit that both of them are cognitively challenged. Trump has totally changed who he is as a person to point where somewhat advanced dementia is the most likely cause
@chrisbarry9345 I can't stand Trump but that's just not accurate. He holds rallies and pressers and he speaks just fine. Biden would be in a home 8 years ago if he weren't a politician.
@@chrisbarry9345 He lost his sincerity and is replaying the hits. I have never voted for him, but before he was President, when basically nobody supported him, the only person he was trying to impress was himself. Now he has a good chunk of the country supporting him, and Trump has failed to realize that his fans mostly liked him for his sincerity (I'm not talking about all Americans who supported or voted for Trump, just his die-hard fans). His actual personality and policies were fairly irrelevant to his fans. They just wanted to see the underdog win. Trump thinks his fans like it when he acts overconfident, or when he makes fun of his opponents, so he tries to appeal to his fans by acting overconfident and making fun of his opponents. Initially, it seemed sincere when he behaved brashly, but at this point it's so performative.
Incredible series, and Louis was right at the end - as someone who leans conservative the reason I love Shane is because he makes jokes about us from a place of love rather than with the usual vitriol and hate
His office with the woods in the background which is getting dark you are listening the podcast, kind of surreal. Had to binge all four parts! Also, CK is becoming a true philosopher.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons, two vilified comedians can come together out of friendship, love and mutual respect and put out the best podcast I've ever seen.
Amazing… when he mentions Shane’s dad. That was profound…. “And your gonna love him”… cause he’s obviously a good man. He raised Shane. We all need a glimpse into humanity
I agree. when his cancellation happened I did the deep dive and my sister was like...he's just a comedian....and I told her....him being funny was just a perk...this bead on life is second to none in my book. Hearing him talk about being a parent changed my life..and was funny. Hearing him talk about entitlement on a plane changed my life...and was funny. But the first part ends up being more important than the second part.
I miss this part of Louis, we only saw the historian side of him on Opie and Anthony very briefly. To get 4 podcasts of him gushing about history and presidents is awesome. This rivals some of Conan O’Brien’s interviews with actual historians. Love comedians who are well-read.
Also great to see two "canceled" comedians talking about subjects unrelated to culture/Twitter BS. I've been so burned out on comedians/podcasts for that reason but seeing the GOATs branching out gives me hope
I wish Louis brought up the time he was on the O&A show and Donald Rumsfeld was the guest. He asked Rumsfeld if he was a lizard person. I think you can still find it on TH-cam.
The whole time, he's trying to get Rumsfeld to just give him a straight answer. I could be wrong, but I don't believe he does. The joke of course was that someone in government can't answer even the most ridiculously simple question directly.
@@paulfroelich1024 lmao yeah you're right, it was a phoner interview from Rumsfeld but he kept asking like 'but Mr Rumsfeld, yes or no, are you a lizard person?' for a solid 10 minutes. Letting Donald just drone on and meander around the question, then capped it with another 10 after he hung-up on how fucking mental that just was. Solid clip
1:42:35 I love that Louis understands the nuance of Johnny Cash songs that has been lost to time. Country songs get made fun of for their simple lyrics, but songs like those are deeply emotional. The break in Johnny’s voice in the original recording when he hits that line “well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I bet I’d move it on a little further down the line” sends chills down my spine. The power and pain in his voice showed the deep empathy he had for those Folsom inmates.
I love Louis' office. Reminds Me of an art deco control room in a power plant. Can't get enough of these history podcasts. I really want to hear Louis talk about trains.
I watched all four parts of this podcast in one day. It was so engrossing that I couldn't stop watching. The real gem was listening to Louis for the last 30 minutes or so of part 4. So great to listen to Shane and Louis hope there is more to come. Missed Matt on the last 3 parts hope things are good with you!
This entire episode run with Louis has been unreal. Made me realize how much I miss Louie’s commentary on just about anything like in the o&a days. Louis has a very unique comedic voice and I think it’s shining through more than ever now.
Louis, Ant, Patrice, and Norton talking about anything is entertaining. It's crazy when you listen to them and think that's how it should be. Then you listen to other podcasts where there's no chemistry or feel formulaic and that makes me more grateful for Matt and Shane and O and A.
Part of what makes this so great is that its so refreshing to hear two people who are on seemingly different sides of the aisle have an interesting, respectful and funny conversation
@@curtisboyce3849 yeah that's why no TH-camrs have patreons. Or put any of their content behind subscription services like curiosity and the like. Because Google loves to just hand out ad money like candy, especially for potentially controversial content like MSSP. LMAO moron. Just because .0001% of TH-camrs make a lot of money directly from TH-cam doesn't mean TH-cam pays well
Damn lads, this was downright inspiring at times. One of the best series of podcasts I've ever heard. I've been feeling super down about the political hellhole we've been living in, but just hearing Louis speak about this stuff with such passion is actually infectious.
His bit about needing to be "hard-ass" to be a good parent got to me. God bless you Louie, Shane, Matt, Gard-dawg and all the dawgs for putting this together. How can I be a pessimist when I have the best girl in the world to raise?
Just blew through the whole series! Would be great to hear you guys doing a series on things like the lineage of British Royalty, Roman Emperors, African Rulers, hell even the books of the Bible. Learnin and laughin is the best combo!
Today has been the best podcast day for me in a long time. These history casts, Shane on Stuff Island, and Big Jay on Steveos cast? Blessed be the dawgs
I just couldn’t be happier for Shane to get to be sitting with his idol, and I’m simultaneously thrilled for Louis to be getting to know Shane and to be becoming friends with him. The god himself and MSSP coming together like this, it just blows my mind. Louis really needs a podcast, god would I love that. You see that he’s obviously built for it and I feel like we’re missing out every minute that he doesn’t have one.
This is the best podcast series i've heard in a long time. Louie's presidential knowledge is boundless. Also I'm impressed by Shane's breadth of knowledge in early American history. It's great to hear Louie's perspective of the more contemporary presidents that he has lived through with his funny anecdotes. His dream about Nixon killed me, suprised he never turned that into a bit! Gold!
Wow. I binge watched this entire series. The last 15 minutes or so was extremely inspiring and makes me feel optimistic that people in this country can move past the terrible cycle we have been in. This whole series was hilarious, entertaining, informative and inspiring.
In the future when people think of legendary history making podcasts from the past this will be one of them. I’ve watched and listened to a lot of podcasts but this one was special.
This series is the most entertaining bit of podcast media I’ve ever encountered. A genuine fly on the wall experience watching two amazing comedians talk about something that clearly interests/matters to them. Shane definitely the more history oriented, fun anecdotal things about American history, while Louie is almost stream of consciousness talking about the People who have affected it. He comes off as having a political view based on how he talks about certain presidents but looking at what he’s saying through the lens of a man fascinated about the nuance and complexity of someones personality and experiences, you can see Louie’s devotion to trying to give the human experience a definition. The way he talks about these larger than life figures in a way that they are people and not political figures is incredibly interesting. Other comments have and will ascribe a political agenda, or some sort of sinister motive to his praise of certain presidents. But I see the deep personal insight of someone who is close to the raw concept of humanity and couldn’t give less of a shit about what the presidents did politically. Louie, and Shane to an extent, aren’t making any statements in this but purely enjoying a discussion of fascinating people. One of the greatest comedians of all time, and one who will definitely earn that as well, making wildly entertaining stuff.
Watching him get up and walk away just to go grab food from his kitchen all the while continuing to talk ON A PODCAST and being oblivious to how that isn’t how this works was absolute gold
He probably thinks it’s cheap. He wants all his work to be good. He’s passionate about history and obviously they are friends that’s the only reason this shit happened
The last 20 minutes of this podcast are so profound. I come back to this series comstantly for those moments. Insane to consider the perspective that professional funny men have exposed me to. So many people mock the whole "modern philosophers" angle, but when you listen to guys like louie, it's hard not to see shades of it.
I'm center left - but I have to say, Louis CK's insight about progressives at 1:43:47 is one of the most striking and thoughtful analyses I've heard - and I have a degree in political science.
This is without a doubt one of my favorite podcast series ever. I had no idea Louie was so well versed in American History. I would listen to more of these for sure.
These have been the most interesting thought provoking casts that we've seen in years and years. Louis CK is an American treasure and we're blessed to have him as one of the great story tellers of our generation. Can only hope we see/ hear more from him soon
This is the first podcast miniseries I’ve watched that I immediately wanted to rewatch. Insane amount of facts dropped by two comedy greats, and in such an entertaining way too
Stumbled on this saga while looking for a 2 minute clip of Louis talking to Gillis about SNL, and it’s legitimately one of the greatest 6 hours of podcasting I’ve ever seen in my life. Louis and Shane, please keep making podcasts together. It’s legitimate gold.
This was remarkable. What beautiful, deep and enlightened sentiments from Louis CK. I can hardly believe what I've heard, but this is also the first time I've had a glimpse of hope for our country in the better part of a decade. Thank you for your perspective Louis. Incredible.
Louie's off-hand recollection of events is unbelievable! I saw him way back in 2008 at the Berkeley Center in Boston where HBO taped his "Chewed Up" special. I was in tears, third row center and Louie looked at me with pure joy when he saw my tears 😭
The respect as a man Shane shows Louie and the respect Louie shows Shane as a purveyor of good comedy makes this podcast my favorite ever. Best chemistry and content couple with heart warming idioms and quirky historical content.
After finishing part 4 I’ve been dragging the red dot from start to finish while watching the colors change to the setting sun. It’s quite cool! Thanks Louie!

This thing was both a scathing indictment and a passionate love letter to American democracy. I've never loved this country more. 🇺🇸

such a reddit comment
when louie talked about shanes standup at the end, my god shane has made it and i hope louies words make him sleep tight at night. most people would kill to have louie compliment them like that, especially about the craft of comedy. love you shane your the next louie!
"You and me are probably disagreeing about everything but i cant get your sound anywhere else" gave me goosebumse for shane. Such an awesome compliment!
Naw. He's the first Shane.
That was a fucking stamp
It’s funny because Louis is such an influence on Shane’s comedy that he’s basically complementing himself lol
Shane is a comic genius and most of it is his body language and nuance tbh
“To be made fun of, is a place of strength. I can’t take you seriously, unless you don’t take yourself seriously. If you are a person to be taken seriously, then you can be made fun of. If you can’t be made fun of, than you cannot be taken seriously.” - Louis Alfred Székely aka Louis CK

Nah. Trump takes it all in stride for the most part. It's the media that can't take a little joke.
"Quoting is gay" - Shane Gillis
"Achoo!" - Every President at least once in their lives.
Yeah, we heard it, you gay
Louis isnt just a comic, he’s a brilliant thinker who happens to be a genius comedic mind.
louie* but yes you're absolutely correct buddy
@@nightboiii his name is literally spelled Louis
Yeah. He's really thoughtful and insightful for sure. When he describes how the idiots on American Idol don't get the essence of Bridge and Folsom prison, I was like loving it
@@biggrocc19 I think he was joshin', but who knows lol
His politics are pretty basic. Not much brilliance.
Louie PLEASE start your own podcast or at least be a guest more frequently on other podcasts! Your way of describing anything is so stimulating and funny. It's the relief we all need
it would probably be great but honestly he doesn't need that shit
He jacks off on his guests
@@Derek_Keenan ❤❤❤
He doesn’t wanna be stimulating mfker
@@Derek_KeenanEven though he's a big lib, I'd listen to a US political history podcast by Louie. US politics is FULL of wild and compelling stories
Such wise words at the end. "He ain't that bad and I'm not that great." If everyone was as humbled as that the world would be a better place
100%
Hundred percent….that’s what makes some people interesting more interesting than others
1:03:51 Louis’s passionate take on not taking yourself seriously was deep as hell.
Except that he aimed it at Trump, who was literally roasted on comedy central.
@@imperius88sure but he totally changed as a person. This is not a Biden verse Trump thing but, we should be able to admit that both of them are cognitively challenged. Trump has totally changed who he is as a person to point where somewhat advanced dementia is the most likely cause
@chrisbarry9345 I can't stand Trump but that's just not accurate. He holds rallies and pressers and he speaks just fine. Biden would be in a home 8 years ago if he weren't a politician.
@@chrisbarry9345 He lost his sincerity and is replaying the hits. I have never voted for him, but before he was President, when basically nobody supported him, the only person he was trying to impress was himself. Now he has a good chunk of the country supporting him, and Trump has failed to realize that his fans mostly liked him for his sincerity (I'm not talking about all Americans who supported or voted for Trump, just his die-hard fans). His actual personality and policies were fairly irrelevant to his fans. They just wanted to see the underdog win. Trump thinks his fans like it when he acts overconfident, or when he makes fun of his opponents, so he tries to appeal to his fans by acting overconfident and making fun of his opponents. Initially, it seemed sincere when he behaved brashly, but at this point it's so performative.
Incredible series, and Louis was right at the end - as someone who leans conservative the reason I love Shane is because he makes jokes about us from a place of love rather than with the usual vitriol and hate
His office with the woods in the background which is getting dark you are listening the podcast, kind of surreal. Had to binge all four parts! Also, CK is becoming a true philosopher.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons, two vilified comedians can come together out of friendship, love and mutual respect and put out the best podcast I've ever seen.
That office and view is peak early 19th century vibes. I love the look of the place.
Louie is so smart. He really sees the big picture so clearly
How validating for Shane to hear that one of the best comedians of all time tell you why you are great. He’s right, the SNL firing was a blessing!!
Amazing… when he mentions Shane’s dad. That was profound…. “And your gonna love him”… cause he’s obviously a good man. He raised Shane. We all need a glimpse into humanity
Listening to louis is so soothing honestly. Puts life into perspective.
I agree. when his cancellation happened I did the deep dive and my sister was like...he's just a comedian....and I told her....him being funny was just a perk...this bead on life is second to none in my book. Hearing him talk about being a parent changed my life..and was funny. Hearing him talk about entitlement on a plane changed my life...and was funny. But the first part ends up being more important than the second part.
I miss this part of Louis, we only saw the historian side of him on Opie and Anthony very briefly. To get 4 podcasts of him gushing about history and presidents is awesome. This rivals some of Conan O’Brien’s interviews with actual historians. Love comedians who are well-read.
I imagine both of em must've nerded out for a while since they worked together for a couple of years.
Also great to see two "canceled" comedians talking about subjects unrelated to culture/Twitter BS. I've been so burned out on comedians/podcasts for that reason but seeing the GOATs branching out gives me hope
Louis telling Patrice where that word came from is one of best bits ever. That entire conversation was great
it's was a feeling.
I love that Louis CK is able to admit when he is wrong about someone. Humility is a powerful piece of humanity.
And never mix rum with Twitter.
Shane hasn’t got there yet.
This four part series may be the best fucking podcast episodes created since The Ricky Gervais Show. Good shit, Shane. Much respect and thank you.
Not enough people talk about how incredible the Ricky Gervais Show was and also the XFM show they did before the podcast
New rockbusters n that
Innit
@@vampmode9132 holy shit i thought i was the only one.
@@WuhanChupacabra if u know u know
I wish Louis brought up the time he was on the O&A show and Donald Rumsfeld was the guest. He asked Rumsfeld if he was a lizard person. I think you can still find it on TH-cam.
It's amazing.
More than one!
The whole time, he's trying to get Rumsfeld to just give him a straight answer. I could be wrong, but I don't believe he does. The joke of course was that someone in government can't answer even the most ridiculously simple question directly.
All time legendary bit
@@paulfroelich1024 lmao yeah you're right, it was a phoner interview from Rumsfeld but he kept asking like 'but Mr Rumsfeld, yes or no, are you a lizard person?' for a solid 10 minutes. Letting Donald just drone on and meander around the question, then capped it with another 10 after he hung-up on how fucking mental that just was. Solid clip
1:42:35 I love that Louis understands the nuance of Johnny Cash songs that has been lost to time. Country songs get made fun of for their simple lyrics, but songs like those are deeply emotional. The break in Johnny’s voice in the original recording when he hits that line “well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I bet I’d move it on a little further down the line” sends chills down my spine. The power and pain in his voice showed the deep empathy he had for those Folsom inmates.
"he aint that bad and I aint that great" -- one of the most profound breakdowns I've ever heard, Amen
I love Louis' office. Reminds Me of an art deco control room in a power plant. Can't get enough of these history podcasts. I really want to hear Louis talk about trains.
I watched all four parts of this podcast in one day. It was so engrossing that I couldn't stop watching. The real gem was listening to Louis for the last 30 minutes or so of part 4. So great to listen to Shane and Louis hope there is more to come. Missed Matt on the last 3 parts hope things are good with you!
You guys are the best giving us all this gold for free love you bubs
Best one-week run for entertainment in quite a while
I was just d*cking around and stumbled into part one, and here I am three parts later bummed it's over.
Please do more like this!
This entire episode run with Louis has been unreal. Made me realize how much I miss Louie’s commentary on just about anything like in the o&a days. Louis has a very unique comedic voice and I think it’s shining through more than ever now.
Louis, Ant, Patrice, and Norton talking about anything is entertaining. It's crazy when you listen to them and think that's how it should be. Then you listen to other podcasts where there's no chemistry or feel formulaic and that makes me more grateful for Matt and Shane and O and A.
Louis is a real-life Forrest Gump. Somehow finding himself face to face with these incredible historical figures
I was thinking the same thing. 😂
100%
no he isn't
Well his best encounter with a president was a dream.
Gump was by accident. Louis south out these interactions
Just binged these in order and I am honestly blown away. Have Louie on again please.
Part of what makes this so great is that its so refreshing to hear two people who are on seemingly different sides of the aisle have an interesting, respectful and funny conversation
Centrist and centrist

Forever the best DAWG BRAIN
Aye ya are :-)
I would double check
The Bush-John Hinkley JR skit is one of the funniest things I've ever seen
This entire podcast is awesome. I could listen to Louis and Shane talk about history for 10 hours
I loved seeing Shane get big dawg'd on his own pod. He wanted to put these last two on Patreon so bad.
Louie may have in fact paid him to not haha
you realize youtubers make money, right? like. millions of dollars. it's free to watch because of ads. they are making plenty from this.

@@curtisboyce3849 yeah that's why no TH-camrs have patreons. Or put any of their content behind subscription services like curiosity and the like. Because Google loves to just hand out ad money like candy, especially for potentially controversial content like MSSP. LMAO moron.
Just because .0001% of TH-camrs make a lot of money directly from TH-cam doesn't mean TH-cam pays well
Damn lads, this was downright inspiring at times. One of the best series of podcasts I've ever heard. I've been feeling super down about the political hellhole we've been living in, but just hearing Louis speak about this stuff with such passion is actually infectious.
His bit about needing to be "hard-ass" to be a good parent got to me. God bless you Louie, Shane, Matt, Gard-dawg and all the dawgs for putting this together. How can I be a pessimist when I have the best girl in the world to raise?
Like a father and a son he never had- wonderful to see them both talking about something they clearly love so much and having fun.
This 4 part series is very possibly my favorite podcast series I’ve ever listened to. Amazing stuff
Just blew through the whole series! Would be great to hear you guys doing a series on things like the lineage of British Royalty, Roman Emperors, African Rulers, hell even the books of the Bible. Learnin and laughin is the best combo!
I see how louie used to make a new special every year. Dude can talk this long and be good at it. What a skill.
"you think if I kill Hinckley it will help me?"
Hilarious honesty from Louis
I’d love to see more of these history podcasts. Shane and CK know more about history than 95% of the people in the US.
That's not saying much. Ask people how money is created, bet you don't even know.
These have been such a gem.
These president episodes are 5 months old and I keep coming back lol, too much info to unpack in just one viewing
Its still just as good ;)
Today has been the best podcast day for me in a long time. These history casts, Shane on Stuff Island, and Big Jay on Steveos cast? Blessed be the dawgs
Dad meat on RAP
hahahaha nice man
I just couldn’t be happier for Shane to get to be sitting with his idol, and I’m simultaneously thrilled for Louis to be getting to know Shane and to be becoming friends with him. The god himself and MSSP coming together like this, it just blows my mind. Louis really needs a podcast, god would I love that. You see that he’s obviously built for it and I feel like we’re missing out every minute that he doesn’t have one.
The MSSP arch is insane yet inevitable. These bros have earned this level of notoriety.
Just make this one whole video and send it out to every high school to teach about American Presidents.
This is the best podcast series i've heard in a long time. Louie's presidential knowledge is boundless. Also I'm impressed by Shane's breadth of knowledge in early American history. It's great to hear Louie's perspective of the more contemporary presidents that he has lived through with his funny anecdotes. His dream about Nixon killed me, suprised he never turned that into a bit! Gold!
Wow. I binge watched this entire series. The last 15 minutes or so was extremely inspiring and makes me feel optimistic that people in this country can move past the terrible cycle we have been in. This whole series was hilarious, entertaining, informative and inspiring.
Just need to replace CNN with the Dawgz News Network
This is such a normie take
I watched all 4 parts, and I’ve hung onto Every word of Louie. This is epic, thank you for this!
In the future when people think of legendary history making podcasts from the past this will be one of them. I’ve watched and listened to a lot of podcasts but this one was special.
This series is the most entertaining bit of podcast media I’ve ever encountered. A genuine fly on the wall experience watching two amazing comedians talk about something that clearly interests/matters to them. Shane definitely the more history oriented, fun anecdotal things about American history, while Louie is almost stream of consciousness talking about the People who have affected it. He comes off as having a political view based on how he talks about certain presidents but looking at what he’s saying through the lens of a man fascinated about the nuance and complexity of someones personality and experiences, you can see Louie’s devotion to trying to give the human experience a definition. The way he talks about these larger than life figures in a way that they are people and not political figures is incredibly interesting. Other comments have and will ascribe a political agenda, or some sort of sinister motive to his praise of certain presidents. But I see the deep personal insight of someone who is close to the raw concept of humanity and couldn’t give less of a shit about what the presidents did politically. Louie, and Shane to an extent, aren’t making any statements in this but purely enjoying a discussion of fascinating people. One of the greatest comedians of all time, and one who will definitely earn that as well, making wildly entertaining stuff.
Damn I want more of louie listening to him makes me zone out of life and forget about my issues, debt and self hatred
Way to make this about you dude.
Try deal or no deal, works for louis
Yeah same
Louis has some legendary stories. This is truly fascinating.
Watching it get dark outside as the pod progresses made it feel like I was hanging in the room with them lol
I love how over 4 episodes spanning over 50+ years, for every president Louis has commented "I loved him when I was a kid."
Watching him get up and walk away just to go grab food from his kitchen all the while continuing to talk ON A PODCAST and being oblivious to how that isn’t how this works was absolute gold
It's insane how good this is. If louis had a podcast it would break the internet.
He probably thinks it’s cheap. He wants all his work to be good. He’s passionate about history and obviously they are friends that’s the only reason this shit happened
Shane and Louie could do a permanent podcast and that would be the greatest thing ever.
The last 20 minutes of this podcast are so profound. I come back to this series comstantly for those moments. Insane to consider the perspective that professional funny men have exposed me to. So many people mock the whole "modern philosophers" angle, but when you listen to guys like louie, it's hard not to see shades of it.
I'm center left - but I have to say, Louis CK's insight about progressives at 1:43:47 is one of the most striking and thoughtful analyses I've heard - and I have a degree in political science.
Louis CK is like a blend of my 3 favorite college professors (political science/ finance degrees)
This is without a doubt one of my favorite podcast series ever. I had no idea Louie was so well versed in American History.
I would listen to more of these for sure.
Louis would be a great tour guide. If he takes his kids to museums, I bet they have a blast.
These have been the most interesting thought provoking casts that we've seen in years and years. Louis CK is an American treasure and we're blessed to have him as one of the great story tellers of our generation. Can only hope we see/ hear more from him soon
This is the first podcast miniseries I’ve watched that I immediately wanted to rewatch. Insane amount of facts dropped by two comedy greats, and in such an entertaining way too
Louie’s story about Shane and the origin of the Fox News dad joke @1:49:30 is Epic 🇺🇸 what amazing praise from the 🐐
Can’t imagine how much that meant to Shane. So glad he’s getting the recognition that he deserves. Old Testament 4 life
@@kennyjones1004 old test 🙏
Stumbled on this saga while looking for a 2 minute clip of Louis talking to Gillis about SNL, and it’s legitimately one of the greatest 6 hours of podcasting I’ve ever seen in my life. Louis and Shane, please keep making podcasts together. It’s legitimate gold.
1:31:10 The Gard Dawg gets a little too excited
1:31:15 Self soothing begins
1:31:34 He finally manages to pull it together
lmaooo why did you comment this
This was remarkable. What beautiful, deep and enlightened sentiments from Louis CK. I can hardly believe what I've heard, but this is also the first time I've had a glimpse of hope for our country in the better part of a decade. Thank you for your perspective Louis. Incredible.
I could listen to this every single day. We need this as a continuing series more than anything ever.
Louie's off-hand recollection of events is unbelievable! I saw him way back in 2008 at the Berkeley Center in Boston where HBO taped his "Chewed Up" special. I was in tears, third row center and Louie looked at me with pure joy when he saw my tears 😭
Can't stop smiling at how blissful of an experience the dog is having this entire time. Straight vibin...
Just soaking it all in. Gard dawg!
These two need to do more history podcasts. I would love a 3 hour podcast on the Civil War and another on Teddy Roosevelt.
2 hours for a Louie pod definitely shrek 1 energy
This is the most shrek 1 shit I've ever seen.
The respect as a man Shane shows Louie and the respect Louie shows Shane as a purveyor of good comedy makes this podcast my favorite ever. Best chemistry and content couple with heart warming idioms and quirky historical content.
After finishing part 4 I’ve been dragging the red dot from start to finish while watching the colors change to the setting sun. It’s quite cool! Thanks Louie!
Shane's speed-dating Trump sketch is one of the funniest things ever.
I loved this 4 parter. Shane and louis should start a podcast called THE OUTCASTS. Since they both have went through shit. Love ya guys! Great podcast
