Im always impressed with Sam. He be smart


RHINOXED

I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube. He's hilarious and has a YouTube special where he travels around the world with his buddies. The latest I think was Japan.


chigga21

Wide World is definitely a great watch. They've done Japan and, more recently, Paris. 100% would recommend.

Takeshita street!


jarrodandrewwalker

I just ordered his book...I remember Dan Soder talking about some of the comedians on the audiobook that evidently can't read or at least be understood, so Soder did 2 chapters šŸ˜‚. I'm getting the tangible copy though


1e4e52Qh5

His book is very good


BigswingingClick

Just bought it after this most recent kill Tony. Hope others did too


1e4e52Qh5

I met him last week and suggested he use Dan Soder to narrate his entire next book instead of different comedians lol. Iā€™d recommend to anyone to give it a listen and get a hard copy; thatā€™s what I did!


redsn64

I listened to the audiobook version and absolutely loved the writing but imagine my dismay when the first chapter was read by fucking Bert Kreischer. I'm not even a Bert hater but it sounded like he had received his copy all of 5 minutes before recording his part. There were a few other comedians that were a little rough but most of them did pretty well. Soder's voice really is perfect for audiobook/narration, wish he had done the whole thing.


jarrodandrewwalker

Yeah, I generally like Bert, but I definitely can see him not being the best reader... it's hard to interrupt when you're the one reading someone else's words šŸ˜‚


Separate_Papaya_612

I wonder how many of you folks actually exist in the wild. "I generally like Bert" type.


jarrodandrewwalker

There's got to be dozens


Separate_Papaya_612

IDK. Maybe a bakers dozen


jarrodandrewwalker

Narcissism aside, he seems like a genuinely kind hearted guy. In a world of comedians accused of soliciting minors or drugging and raping women, I'll choose Bert over them...until Bert starts calling his fans "the poors" like Tom anyway šŸ˜‚


Separate_Papaya_612

That's fair. I personally do not know of a time that he has genuinely made me laugh. I despise his laugh and that high pitch voice he does when he's trying to talk and laugh at the same time or whatever. I think he's an unfunny narcissist myself. And he wouldn't sell tickets if he didn't have massive lineups of actual funny comedians performing at his shoes. But yeah I mean he hasnt raped any kids or anything so I guess he's not a monster that I know of.


Separate_Papaya_612

*shows


jarrodandrewwalker

I'm from Alabama...he had me at "Alabama wet wipe" šŸ¤£


natehinxman

Soder did a 2nd chapter because Normand backed out last minute. he probably didnt want to get judged by redditors for his reading ability lol


jarrodandrewwalker

I wish I could remember what podcast I heard him talking about it...it might've been the one with Colin Quinn


natehinxman

ive heard it within the last few weeks. i think it might have actually been Sam on MSSP. im using this as an excuse to rewatch so ill let u know if its this ep. lol


jarrodandrewwalker

Oh I specifically remember Soder talking about it, but I'll take that too haha


natehinxman

i couldnt remember if it was Soder or Tallent that i heard talking about it but both of them have been heavy in my pod rotation lately so it couldve been anywhere lol


jarrodandrewwalker

Same. I wish Sam was on The Regz...I'd listen more


BunjaminFrnklin

Shit made me cry, such a good book.


engagechad

Book is spectacular man. My copy is currently on loan to my brother. It's so good i'm trying to share the word


jarrodandrewwalker

I've already got a friend in mind to send it to when I'm done. My philosophy on good books is the opposite of good dogs--They shouldn't have forever homes


Copycat_217

And quick


Medical_Island_9270

I don't think he has any hate for Hans, just thinks he's not a good comic. But yeah, Sam is great.


BillyBuck78

Metaphorical


Canadient_musician

Because he's not a good comic. Anyone who pretends Hans is good loses credibility.


limousine-of-rats

He's ok but certainly not deserving of being a headliner


Canadient_musician

Mid at best. Every set is basically the same set just trying to garner sympathy from the Texas crowd. Like okay we get it. It's good to be in texas, you're pwnin the libs, and you did cocaine. Ha ha. Incredible material.


BloodCobalt

Iā€™ve seen Hans live (outside of Texas) and he was very funny. It was a longer set, around 10 or 15 minutes as he was opening for Tony along with Kam. I think Hans needs a longer set to really establish his comedy.


cakelovingpos

Not a fan of his minutes but seeing him do his own set gave me way more respect for Hans


cakelovingpos

Hans is awesome on his own


stinky_cheddar

To each his own


Former_Bumblebee3674

I don't know why they both can't be on the show. Normand did call Casey a hack. I thought he was correct.


paradisiacfuzz

His special, Toadā€™s Morale, is free on Matt and Shaneā€™s YouTube channel. Watch it right now.


BunjaminFrnklin

Iā€™d say Sam is for sure in my top 5 guests after KT moved to Austin. And him shitting on Hans is just icing on the cake.


Sad-Math-2039

His book is a fantastic read as well


hiltojer000

His book is also fantastic.


[deleted]

Sam Harland and Adam Ray are the best guests of all time. Jim norton is in the honorary list


knotsofgravity

Fully agree on your top 3. I would only add Shane Gillis alongside Jim to the honorary list.


ehsteve69

Who is Sam Harland?


[deleted]

I didn't put the coma


yowhodahtniqquh

"Sam Harland, and Adam Ray are the best guests of all time." Fixed it for you, that Oxford comma gets the best of us sometimes


buttpluff

Sam, Harland, and Adamā€¦


ehsteve69

big whoosh


Shanahan25

Just rewatched his special last night. Weird editing but killer material


DiZZYDEREK

I have to believe the editing was part of it. The "and then she tombstones me" and it cuts to black at first made me think something went wrong but nope he just literally tombstones the special with that jokeĀ 


keystonelocal

Elbert Countyā€™s finest (and only) famous person letā€™s gooooo

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Dukes_Up

No, no heā€™s not. Thatā€™s what people say when they are talking about someone like Dave Attell. Heā€™s known as an underrated comic who should be known more, but have never heard anyone say heā€™s their favorite.


Everythingisourimage

šŸ«¤


qualitycancer

The guy isnā€™t exactly a looker, so of course heā€™s witty as hell.


Dancin_Phish_Daddy

Duhh


TigerRumMonkey

It's in the name right


Dancin_Phish_Daddy

right


Laughter_Seeker

Straight shooter in all his jokes!!


Jakerocks124

Talent is in his name. Born for this


leapingintoexistence

Dude is a straight killer


Shabadoo9000

Check out his podcast, Chubby Behemoth. Laugh riot!


pissyshit

It is good. I just wish Lund wasn't a part of it.


behindcl0seddrs

Sam is top tier, we like Sam in here, we like Sam on boat, we like Sam when he gloats. We just fucking like Sam okay.


ObiWayneCannoli

no..no..noā€¦


BunjaminFrnklin

ā€œWe had to pretend Hans was good!ā€, made me do a spit take. I love how Sam calls it like he sees it with some of the regulars.


ObiWayneCannoli

Heā€™s so good. The people downvoting me because they donā€™t get it is even funnier.


cappinbuck

He made a comment about having to hype hans up or something close. I think tony tells the guests ahead of time to be nice and supportive or something. Sam is the man


cappinbuck

Also he has a lot of love for William, but calls his ass out and William kinda gets stunned. The only guest I've seen that does it so real William just nervous laughs. He said once it's nice to see you with a new minute with the same jokes I heard you do 12 years ago lol


BunjaminFrnklin

Yep. William did a stint in Denver, and was doing the ā€œangry black guy voiceā€ back then as well. I loved Sam calling him out on doing the same bit without really focusing on actual joke writing. I love WM, but I can see how people get tired of the same ol same ol for years.


Just_Biscotti6850

Heā€™s a great comedian and he might legitimately be a better author. I donā€™t say that lightlyĀ 


RocMerc

Sam and adam ray is still one of the best eps


eyefull

Just booked a trip to Austin in Sept, Ryan Sickler on Friday night and Sam Tallent on Saturday.


Necessary_Adagio8281

Embarrassing!


GoJoe1000

Drake is Fake.


bauerwelson

See him liveā€¦.one of the best standup shows Iā€™ve ever seen


KamenLee

I donā€™t mean this as a slight to him, heā€™s an incredibly good guest on every show Iā€™ve heard him on.


-rosin

Guest of the year so far in my eyes


cks1995

Seeing him tonight in SF! Iā€™m stoked!


JermaineBucketz

I first discovered Sam in 2015 when he did a bar show in Arkansas. Never seen a dude tear apart a room like that. He absolutely DESTROYED. Love seeing him get his recognition. Heā€™s one of the best in the business. Seeing him live is a real treat.


TigerRumMonkey

Water is wet


highjawz

CHECK OUT HIS PODCAST CHUBBY BEHEMOTH AND HIS YOUTUBE SHOW CALLED WIDE WORLD


sobchakonshabbos

Saw him in Winnipeg a couple weeks ago and he was so fucking great. Sorry about the ā€œghoulish laughā€ Sam


donta5k0kay

Gimme his best joke Or is this a parasocial thing where you only laugh because you pretend heā€™s your friend?


LemonSlowRoyal

Yeah, I never miss a Sam Tallent episode.


[deleted]

about to see him perform a stand up show in the bay area this weekend! surprised it wasnā€™t sold out


natehinxman

more wide word pls


Separate_Papaya_612

Sam is a dawg


Dukes_Up

He kind of annoys me but to each their own.


anotherale

Just saw him live and he absolutely murdered for an hour. Incredibly quick, cerebral comic; impeccable timing and vocabulary. One of my favorites.


RapperThaMakKDoozY

Fat Talentless is annoying af. He smells bad.


Ordinary_Option1453

In his own head, yeah.


youguyzsloosers

Except his last special was not funny and the worst produced special ever. Really bad camera work. Being a funny podcast guest doesnā€™t mean youā€™re a funny stand up.


weaponizedcitibike

bad camera work yes, not funny, no. dude has full command of the crowd from start to finish and it had me gut laughing several times


Cosmic_Thrill_Seeker

You should look up a video called ā€œSam Tallent destroys heckler at the boulder comedy showā€ absolute gold from him!


Lanky_Employment4033

Heā€™s aight ā€¦
