Love Jim Gaffigan, he’s so normal! Jeannie Gaffigan is just as funny as Jim, but, they have 100 kids she’s raising right now, so she’s busy. The Gaffigan’s saved my sanity during the pandemic, having dinner every evening on YT, tons of laughs and love and games around the dinner table. Thank you Jim and Jeannie! 🌺💕
I love Mike Birbiglia! I saw him live in Montreal in 2014 and I sat in the front row. Was my first ever comedy show and I rested my backpack on the stage and Mike used it as a prop 😂
I recently became a fan of yours because a friend of my husband told him that he looks like you, so I looked you up. True-you really do look like a younger version of my husband (cutie pie!) and now I am a fan based on your comedy, which is fantastic. I’m thrilled to discover this video because I have been a fan of Jim Gaffigan for almost 20 years. His comedy is so intelligent. I’ll be looking for your next show near NYC so my husband and I can see you in person.
Jim’s Cooridor of Hate joke reminds me of John Waters take on Baltimore which is serviced by the same Acela line: "[on Baltimore] ... it’s outside the curtain of irony, which starts in Philadelphia and surrounds New York. There’s no real bikers in New York, only faux bikers. If you move to New York, just by moving there, it proves you have irony. But in Maryland there are real bikers, real hillbillies. It’s not a fashion statement. They’re not dressing like that one night of the week in a night club."
I liked Matteo, too, but I've tired of the douche jokes and he must have run out of material cuz he's added that unfunny Nick to everything so I now can barely watch anything. I wish he'd drop the obsession with his appearance and write some new material.
Both Jim and Mike are so self deprecating and yet are a pair of the most generous human beings with their time. Truly enjoyed finally catching up on this. Just them talking but still some great insights and some great laughs too.
I like Jim's humor because he does not take himself seriously, he is "normal, he admits shit that most of us can relate to but would never say...humble!
When he asked what has changed about Jim’s comedy I noticed that Jim doesn’t really do his inner church lady voice as much as he used to and I miss it. Also i think since Jim lost some weight it’s been better for his energy. On some of the tourist specials he seemed sluggish but recently at Hollywood bowl he was very energetic . I hope he comes back to Cali soon
Love both of these guys! That said... The Minnesota State Fair is the best! Food on a stick was born there. Spaghetti and meatball on a stick? Hell yeah. Also, there are so many great comedians from Minnesota. Minneapolis has a fantastic Stand-up reputation. Minnesotan's may be nice, but they're also very witty.
Just found this pod and I've been a fan of your specials for awhile now. The Greg Warren ep deserves more views by the way. Absolutely hilarious, same as this one 😂
Seeing Birbiglia in SF, CA next month. My sweetie and I love his specials on Netflix, esp. The Old Man and the Pool. I love Gaffigan too, saw his sitcom, which was pretty good. His specials are a hoot also.

Recap by Tammy AI
Wow! I was listening to Mike on the Smartless podcast and found out that he had his own podcast on then saw this episode and didn’t get to finish the original podcast yet!!!
Hilarious when JG says “your audience is people who party” and everyone, including MB, immediately thought Brent Kreschner. Burnt Kressler Bent Kisser Err, Bert Kreicscher…
Great watching two of my favorite comedians who are both super funny and witty, and don’t use swearing as a crutch. I agree that they both have very diverse audiences because their material is so funny that it appeals to a wide range of people. Anyway, what are they doing at Georgetown University to produce so many great comedians. Both of these guys went to Georgetown and so did John Mulaney. And also Nick Kroll.
You two are the most complementary maestros of clean comedy I could possibly imagine sitting across from one another.👏 I hope I don't diminish the fact you both have unique, strange, organic, universally relatable styles of comedic genius, by referring to it as "clean". Clean comedy that's still hilarious to adult audiences is no simple task. Thank you both for this video.✌️ Greetings from 🇨🇦.
Jim Gaffigan is a Regina spektor fan! I'm guessing because the call is from one of the lion the witch and the wardrobe remake movies? Honestly have no idea how closely he holds to his Christian faith nowadays, but that's my best guess lol. Love the insights to comedy and the personalities behind them that this podcast brings!
As a old retired fart on a low income, I would send my money to go to a show by either of you! But you never come close to where I live. And I am pretty left and liberal!
I really love it when comedians/artists of any kind are like, "I mean, nearly all my experiences now have to do with Blank - so what else am I supposed to talk about?" - how about, 'have more varied experiences, and if you can't Don't make myopic art'
Jim Gaffigan doesn’t need to do crowd work because he already does it by himself. All those high-pitched asides are brilliant
Love Jim Gaffigan, he’s so normal! Jeannie Gaffigan is just as funny as Jim, but, they have 100 kids she’s raising right now, so she’s busy. The Gaffigan’s saved my sanity during the pandemic, having dinner every evening on YT, tons of laughs and love and games around the dinner table. Thank you Jim and Jeannie! 🌺💕
I'm so glad you're getting these podcasts on video now and posting them here. Good stuff!
"You were dumb enough to be so vulnerable to ONE person..." I was dying during this part....FACTS!!!
Jim gaffigan is my favorite comedian now. I’m 58 kids grandkids wife over 10 yrs. He is living my same life!
I love Mike Birbiglia! I saw him live in Montreal in 2014 and I sat in the front row. Was my first ever comedy show and I rested my backpack on the stage and Mike used it as a prop 😂

One of the first comedians I've loved is Jim because my 10th grade AP history teacher showed the class his comedy on the "movie days"
Jim’s Cooridor of Hate joke reminds me of John Waters take on Baltimore which is serviced by the same Acela line: "[on Baltimore] ... it’s outside the curtain of irony, which starts in Philadelphia and surrounds New York.

It’s not a fashion statement. They’re not dressing like that one night of the week in a night club."
The discussion about crowd work made me really wish you'd do an episode with Matteo Lane. It would be such an interesting conversation.
I liked Matteo, too, but I've tired of the douche jokes and he must have run out of material cuz he's added that unfunny Nick to everything so I now can barely watch anything. I wish he'd drop the obsession with his appearance and write some new material.
Okay okay couldn’t stand it my two favorite comedians together ….. heaven and o needed good laughs right now glad I found this
Comedy Perfection, thy name is Jim Gaffigan.
Both Jim and Mike are so self deprecating and yet are a pair of the most generous human beings with their time. Truly enjoyed finally catching up on this. Just them talking but still some great insights and some great laughs too.
I like Jim's humor because he does not take himself seriously, he is "normal, he admits shit that most of us can relate to but would never say...humble!
I could listen to Mike and Jim talk shop all day. This is heaven!
Watched Birbiglia's new special....outrageous. Genius.
When he asked what has changed about Jim’s comedy I noticed that Jim doesn’t really do his inner church lady voice as much as he used to and I miss it. Also i think since Jim lost some weight it’s been better for his energy. On some of the tourist specials he seemed sluggish but recently at Hollywood bowl he was very energetic . I hope he comes back to Cali soon
Jim's brain going off in so many directions as he's deciding how he wants to answer
I love Mike’s bit about how we on-time people hate late people. I laughed so hard because it’s true. 😂
Hanging with two amazingly funny guys .. what’s not to love? 💚💙 great podcast !!!
These are great Americans. I'm happy to share Earth with them.
Two comedic legends😊
Mike was there too.
Love both of these guys! That said...
The Minnesota State Fair is the best! Food on a stick was born there. Spaghetti and meatball on a stick? Hell yeah.
Also, there are so many great comedians from Minnesota. Minneapolis has a fantastic Stand-up reputation.
Minnesotan's may be nice, but they're also very witty.
It’s because of all that upper Midwest repression. Louis Anderson did a great bit on it. You could probably find it…
Best part: Mike has a name plate on his desk... in his home office!
Could have done with another hour of that. Great.
I'm in Heaven! One of my favorite comedians interviewing the my other favorite!
I really don’t care for Seinfeld but I just love Jim Gaffigan !
here's two of my all time favorites!!!!
This was SO good. two of mt favorite comedians are just shootin' the shit
And they're both looking well, physically and mentally.
They may have demons, but if so they're well hidden.
Best of all they can both be trusted to not say 'shit' in their corporate acts
Love Jim & Mike talking shop! Happy anniversary Hope and Mike!
Just found this pod and I've been a fan of your specials for awhile now. The Greg Warren ep deserves more views by the way. Absolutely hilarious, same as this one 😂
I'm sorry, Mike, but Jim wins. We are Birbigliites.
Jim Gaffigan has "hung like a horse" energy
I love that Jim and I have the same taste in music
I used to listen to Mike on "Bob & Tom". Now I just subscribed. Full circle.
Seeing Birbiglia in SF, CA next month. My sweetie and I love his specials on Netflix, esp. The Old Man and the Pool. I love Gaffigan too, saw his sitcom, which was pretty good. His specials are a hoot also.
Bill Burr had an incredibly funny bit about how Philadelphia has a statue of Rocky, a fictional sports icon, instead of greats like Joe Frasier.
He never ate hotpockets?!?!?? hahhahhhahahhhhahhahhahhhahhhahhhah
What a great conversation. I would have enjoyed another hour.
You're looking great Jim!!!! "Riiiight"?
“Hot Pocket Material” became a McCarthy trial. I’m in love.
35:16 me when the opening clip arises: Leo pointing meme 😅
Oh! I live on the Acela line!
Shouts to the northeast corridor!
I haven't listened yet but just gotta say Mike you look so healthy! Jim....well he be Jim. Never really heard him talk IRL so this is very cool.
Could you imagine if someone did a full set just talking about standup? Cause that's what this feels like.
The birbigs bezos roast was scrubbed from the internet lol.
23:00 lol Jim that’s Dark Pale and quick anyone who questions this dude’s comic mind omg

So many good nuggets in this.
This was a great time.
Great convo by two greats!
Jim dressed like a refined gentleman.
Jim sitting in the power position. 👑
46:44 Doing any good with pure intent is objectively good. A+
As far as put-down humor is concerned, Martin Short gets pretty close to the mastery of Don Rickles. Just saying
As Jiminy Glick.
Agreed. Martin Short is underrated in general tbh.
Short , Rickles, Letterman
Wow! I was listening to Mike on the Smartless podcast and found out that he had his own podcast on then saw this episode and didn’t get to finish the original podcast yet!!!
Tampa and Columbus Ohio were always the place where your new restaurant gets perfected before you open sites 6-100. (Midwestern taste tests)
AH! I love the comments on marriage. Makes me feel like a normal person.
Hilarious when JG says “your audience is people who party” and everyone, including MB, immediately thought Brent Kreschner.
Burnt Kressler
Bent Kisser
Err, Bert Kreicscher…
Bent Chrysler….show some respect

This is great. I want to see Mike Birbiglia on Theo's podcast. Gaffigan was on there and it was great.
Get Dax Shepherd on next please!
The idea of Mike having a secret hour of super dark material is making me laugh so hard
New favourite podcast.
Love Jim Gaffigan! Clean and subversive.
Jim looks really good and healthy. What will he make jokes about?
Biggest change for Jim; not doing the baby voice. Thank you for that.
Just came across this so let's get cookin😊
You two are the most complementary maestros of clean comedy I could possibly imagine sitting across from one another.👏
I hope I don't diminish the fact you both have unique, strange, organic, universally relatable styles of comedic genius, by referring to it as "clean".
Clean comedy that's still hilarious to adult audiences is no simple task.
Thank you both for this video.✌️
Greetings from 🇨🇦.
"I bombed so hard, when I say it was silent in the room, if the Buddha was there he'd have said 'here is true peace'" LMAO
Love Jerry seinfeld and he is amazing live.
Hey, Guys! Hoya Saxa!
Great podcast ❤
Jim Gaffigan is a Regina spektor fan! I'm guessing because the call is from one of the lion the witch and the wardrobe remake movies? Honestly have no idea how closely he holds to his Christian faith nowadays, but that's my best guess lol. Love the insights to comedy and the personalities behind them that this podcast brings!
I love that you domt curse ❤
Pat Sajak is actually quite witty off the cuff, he's basically a clean improv comic with a smooth voice that does 10 minutes a night 5 nights a week.
He is so quick, and legit hilarious. It's weird Jim doesn't see that.
"you know what I mean"..... 😁
Come on Jim. We'd love to see you do a roast. You could roast Colbert or somebody. It would be hilarious.
Thank you thank you thank you for your comedy. It’s great and genius and I don’t have to listen to crude nonsense swearing.
Jim's more relaxed on this one than Rogan's pod
Gee wonder why
Hey, man, what's with the disrespect for Buffalo?!😂
As a old retired fart on a low income, I would send my money to go to a show by either of you! But you never come close to where I live. And I am pretty left and liberal!
Cinnamon Toast Crunch, fistfuls out of the box, no spoon, no bowl, dry as a bone. Like breakfast potato chips.
What did Mike say his guilty favorite food was? Salmon dill crunch?
I love Mike's comedy but I don't think I could handle talking to him for an hour without scoffing throughout the conversation.
I went to a parent teacher conference once, and asked "Why are there so many kids here?
Audience likes true comedy even if it is dark
This seems like it should be called "guys hanging out"
I really love it when comedians/artists of any kind are like, "I mean, nearly all my experiences now have to do with Blank - so what else am I supposed to talk about?" - how about, 'have more varied experiences, and if you can't Don't make myopic art'
When does comedy become something that should have monopoly law
Can we work on those dark 5 seconds long empty transitions ? Thanks
Love Love Love Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo!!!
I'm from Buffalo to
I don’t know. If Jerry didn’t have his show he’d be a traveling road dog comic playing at 120 seat venues.
I wanted Jim to say the biggest insult he’d received was “You’re Mike Birbigliarent.”
Remember when Burt Reynolds dumped water in your lap?
"It's weird when people are like, so against bigotry, and then they attack it by introducing another form of bigotry."
Successful comedian kids I will laugh at.
Buffalo is a Midwestern city!
Wait, I thought we were the Birbigglebugs?
