    Burr was hardest to hit when that list first came out. Dudes funny and always seemed to have a good head, (as redheaded as it is). Talk about a career ending decision, yeesh.

      talk about a career ending decision

      Sadly I don’t think many people care outside of the internet left bubble.

      I was really disappointed by that one. I’ve loved him since his first special but after taking blood money from the Saudis I just can’t watch anymore of his shit.

        If they had done a world tour thing, even just a couple more spots, that would have been different.

      How did he rationalize it? Does it hold a drop?

        From what i know it’s he defended the tour with the same PR nonsense all the others gave, like they agreed on reasons together. They claim it’s racist to not do a show for the Saudi people. That completely disregards the fact they performed for the Saudi family. Beyond that i haven’t listened to him at all.
