Sometimes I listen to Game of Roses(a different podcast Chad cohosts about The Bachelor/ette, great if youre into that btw) and realized he is just very, unironically sci-fi-futurist tech pilled. extremely naive and very genuine. He also wants to get cryo frozen when he dies and thought owning a piece of decentraland was a good investment lmao. Tbh I don't really understand why this specifically has made so many people so upset(tbf, Im also not too familiar with Carlin)

Carlin is something like a one of the holy trinity of comedy, together with Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. These are canonical figures and one characteristic of the canon is: You do not fuck with the canon, ever, period. This, in short, is why so many people including me are upset :)

Do it! Start here: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5tnd4i (You're all deseased, his HBO special from 1999).

It's the late Carlin in absolute top form taking no prisoners. Some of his most famed late bits are all in there, from "Businessmen are full of Shit" and "The alltime champion of Bullshit: Religion" to his take on germophobia: "I was tempered in raw shit". Have fun!
