Danny has, to my mind, accurately classified coffee and nice socks as luxuries, yet King seems to think he's misunderstood the question. When I showed them, a colleague of mine seemed just as confused, asking if Danny was born in an impoverished nation.

    He's really out of touch here but made up for that when he stopped an interview with Dave Rubin to talk to his son on the phone for 3 whole minutes. look it up it's great

        What was great about that interview was how Larry King only got interested when Eric Andre was talking about killing himself.

          Also the slight twinge of disgust when Eric said he was Jewish.

          Edit: disgust as in this weirdo is also a Jew, not in Eric being Jewish

            Was he not born to a jewish mother? I agree he's a bougie lib and blinded by his experience of tremendous privilege, but I'm having trouble seeing the connection to your disgust at him saying he's a jew.

              I'm sure they were referring to Larry King being disgusted. From watching it, at first cause he thought Eric was fuckinf with him and then because he realised they are legit of the same faith which Larry couldn't handle.

                  The interview in general is hilarious, Eric Andre in an interview can't help but revert to his show persona and clearly wants to turn the tables and start interviewing Larry King. Larry King hates it.

              No I’m saying Larry, learning that weird ole Eric was a fellow Jew, concerned and frightened him. Like “reslly? This guy?”

      yeah, i kinda dropped off drinking it after a strong acid trip in the fall and i'm glad i did. i don't really trust the supply chain, and having a tolerance isn't doing me any good. now i can have a little teacup of it on a saturday and it actually works as a stimulant.

      it'd be much harder to do if i were working longer hours though

      I literally saw this post, thought he had died, checked and saw he was still alive, read his Wikipedia which mentioned several health issues and his recent COVID-19 diagnosis and was like "oof, he's probably going to die from that", went to sleep, woke up and saw he'd died.

    This clip is so great. I started thinking about what I'd answer - crocheting with wool/cotton yarn instead of acrylic sometimes, occasional trips to museums and theatres... How can your first suggestion be a fucking plane??

    I feel weird because I watched this like 50 times last night and then I wake up and he’s dead

      Same! I think we owned him so hard he died, sort of what happened to Lemmy the musician after JPEGMAFIA released that song about him.

    Larry King is on Sputnik now. Lol. (Love me some Sputnik, By Any Means Necessary and Redacted Tonight are both dope shows)

    Late weighing in, but I watched this yesterday, laughed my ass off, looked him up and thought he survived covid, and then he was dead this morning
