Alt title: "Is anyone else seeing this? Well, don't." Other alt title: "Is anyone else lying about 'supporting trans people' to such an absurd degree?" <-Consider this a TW

First time guest Kyle Ayers and multi time guest Mike Carrozza (comedians, the lot of them) join the podcast to talk about the 2025 HBO comedy special "Is Anyone Else Seeing This?" which is truly, TRULY atrocious. You can literally hear the energy slowly drain out of the guests as the episode goes on, to where they go from talking over each other almost constantly, to sitting there in near silence seemingly on the verge of tears. I LOVE TO HARM MY FRIENDS VIA MY PODCAST!!!!! Genuinely, this is probably the worst comedy special ever recorded. It has no flow, it is not constructed properly, it is mostly him whining and bitching about his personal grievances with seemingly no ability to see that shit is not funny, nor does any of it really resemble a joke. There is also an unbelievable amount of transphobia, and it's just sprinkled all over the special because, once again, THIS MAN CANNOT PUT TOGETHER A SET! You group the same topics together, with maybe a call back or two later; you don't just jump back and forth between three topics, over and over. Any comic with any experience would have put this set together by saying something like"First my transphobic chunk, then my I hate kids stuff, and then the sex stuff". This comic would also be a bad person. Oh my God, OH MY GOD, this is the most incompetent thing ever!!!!
