On this episode, Bill is joined by stand-up comic and podcast provocateur Andrew Schulz. The two swap stories about Andrew’s transition into fatherhood (including fertility hurdles and the emotional roller coaster of IVF), the perils of fame in the digital age, why he once called Fox News out on its overblown “outrage” stories, negotiating free speech in comedy and the ever-shifting rules of social discourse, meeting fans where they are online. They debate America’s “abundance mentality” and how it informs politics, the decline of open discussion in modern media, the rise of cancel culture (and how both the left and right weaponize it), the fine line between comedic license and genuine offense, Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, and the peculiarities of personal relationships in the spotlight. They also trade observations on religion, Trump’s enduring appeal, social media mobs, bizarre magazine collections from New York City newsstands, and much more.
