Have any of you heard of this guy, Sammy Obeid? I would compare him to earlier George Carlin (not the later, bitter, version). What do you think?

I agree that Carlin is the GOAT, but I haven't heard anyone speak truth to power in that way since.

George carlin is the modern day George Carlin. Hasn’t even been 20 years since his last special.

That dude for the first 3 minutes was so bad that I couldn't finish watching. He was not funny or even somewhat clever at all. It sounded like a bit that myself or anybody else could've written, and his delivery didn't have very good timing. Maybe he improved after the first few minutes, but he's average at best. Definitely no Carlin.

Get on the plane? F you, I'm getting IN the plane.

Precise language was important in consulting, and he had a heavy hand in teaching me that.

Saw Ben Bankas last Thursday at Southport Hall. His openers were cringeworthy, vulgar New York Jews.
Ben was fantastic.
