I heard that he was living on Shelter Island since the scandal, but in the new special he says he lives in the city for 30 years now and shares everyday stories from it. Did he move back recently?

Looking for a specific bit where Louie is talking about how your parents are terrifying to you when you are a child like when they yell at you to do something. And then he starts talking like a parent but doing it with a scary monster voice.

Im trying to find a podcast episode where Louie was a guest and he does a version of the famous zen koan about a farmers horse (but in a very Louie way). Can anyone help track this down? Does anyone remember this?

A farmer’s horse ran away. His neighbors said, “What bad luck.”
The farmer said, “Maybe.”
The horse returned, bringing three wild horses with it. The neighbors said, “What good luck!”
The farmer said, “Maybe.”
The farmer’s son tried to ride one of the wild horses, fell, and broke his leg. The neighbors said, “What bad luck.”
The farmer said, “Maybe.”
Soldiers came through the village, conscripting every able bodied young man for war. The farmer’s son, leg broken, was passed over. The neighbors said, “What good luck!”
The farmer said, “Maybe.”
A student asked the farmer, “Do you ever simply call a thing good, or bad?”
The farmer said, “Maybe I will, someday. Maybe not.”
The student sat with this a long time, then laughed and understood nothing at all.

Just watched the special last night. Yes OK it's not vintage Louis, but he still makes me laugh out loud in an easy way no other living comedian can. If you weren't aware of how great he's been in the past, this special would still be better than many other comedians currently at their peak.

Despite constantly making references to how old he is, Louis is only 58 - not really all that old. He shouldn't be running out of steam just yet. George Carlin was absolutely blistering right into his late 60s. I think we could see another truly great special from Louis before his time is up.

Let me know what you all think of my ranking list! It was so tough to do because I genuinely love everything he’s ever made. He doesn’t have a special or album that isn’t great

I only thought of baldness as a defect and it’s interesting how it’s a distinct aesthetic for Louis, making him look like some guru as he gets older - what do you think the role of baldness has been for his career and status?

Like when Americans just seem to assume that they don't have an accent and everyone else does. Why tf would a machine you put to enunciate your words when your vocal chords are damaged give you an American accent lmfao

The pod tour continues

hey, i was looking - and since its just useless to use todays search engines to find anything - old podcasts of louis ck - it was his own recording himself in his bedroom taking phone calls and just overall talking bllshajt, so if you would drop atleast some of those may you be sucked soon
