I think Nick is legitimately one of the funniest people on the entire planet, and although ive liked EP so far, I am a little disappointed in the sketches starring him. Just as a guy talking he's so fucking funny and I dont know what the disconnect was here but he's not landing what hes doing.

He's funny when it isn't scripted, he's just complete shit when it is scripted.

The comments seem to be on the side of Harland, obviously. This is the first time I've seen him and I think he's kind of funny, but the main issue is that he doesn't really take any of the guys' comedic tee ups and develop it into fun banter, it just seems like he drops constant non-sequiturs and mild subversions over and over, which really ruins the fun of talking to him. Matan does the same thing, but that's the entire point of going on the show. This guy is supposed to be a comedian.

Sam definitely chimped though, and it was extremely fucking funny that it was over "gorilla nests".
Harland passive-aggressively removed all the plugs but still included all the links in the description lmao

Maybe I don’t understand Jewish humor well but banter about digging up and raping meatloaf’s corpse, Gay Barry manilow, cunnilingus techniques, “ironic” “I’m gay kiss me” jokes, and lol so random monkey talk is kind of horrible morning zoo garbage Jim Norton fans would coom at so Sam not playing along is granted.

I bet redbar will do a 14 hour rambling reaction podcast rewinding clips of it over and over analyzing everyone’s facial expressions though

It really is a big thunk that Reddit decided to come out in full force on Instagram, YouTube and here to somehow claim sam was the problem of this boomer’s terrible podcast

You don't have to be a Reddit boogeyman to see Sam came off terrible and chimped out. The way he awkwardly tried to physically big dog an elderly jew who wasn't in the least bit intimidated was embarassing.

Just went back and watched, I think this is what happened:
Sam was having a decent time going back and forth until he realized that the non-sequiturs weren't going to stop. At 20:38 Sam goes for the sheet in front of Harland because he's seeing if the bits are going to be at his expense the rest of the interview. This leads directly into the "have you ever been raped" question, which Sam takes pretty well but then returns the question. Harland then makes a joke about being raped by priests, including a mention of the crucifix and the Bible which seems to be the turning point. Charls and Nick both redirect the joke away from Christianity and toward the public school system, which is immediately shot down by Harland.
Sam becomes visibly annoyed, then Harland sharply redirects into discussing cunnilingus, and then, whether purely coincidental (unlikely) or not, tries to pull the exact bit from the Daddy Dom sketch in the Extreme Peace trailer on all of the guys in the room by asking them to "show their cunnilingus technique" on 3D printed orange objects (salmon filets?). Sam tells Damiel to not feed into it and by then he's pretty much made up his mind about the whole thing. This conversation leads directly into the gorilla nests, and Sam chimps. He tests the table a minute or two beforehand.

I actually really think that someone working with Harland told him to pull that joke on them on purpose as some kind of weird way of humiliating them. Seemed innocent enough at first but it's just too much of a coincidence for it to not be intentional.

heres my take:

was mostly unfamiliar with Harland aside from seeing him roast David Lucas on Kill Tony. after watching this, i dont hate him, but hes not exactly my cup of tea comedically. he kind of came across as Norm McDonald with less substance and direction. the whole bit of spamming awkward non-sequiturs and switching between a jokey/serious tone wasnt particularly hilarious to me, but it did make Sam very uncomfortable, so if that was his goal, he succeeded. i dont know if thats the role he usually plays on his podcast, or if he could tell it was making Sam really uncomfortable so he leaned into it, but either way he got a reaction. now, in theory, Sam chimping out and destroying the studio to build a "gorilla nest" is really funny, but given the context and the vibes, it came across as Sam, the guy who likes being in control, resorting to breaking things in order to regain control over someone he didnt know how to deal with.

i think people are overreacting to a degree but i can see how Sam might look like a bit of a fragile narcissist here. i just watched bits of Nick Mullen on the show and he seemed able to roll with the punches and they got along and talked about some real things. for Sam, though, i feel like if he catches any notion that hes being fucked with, he tries to one up the person (which is funny given his puppet master comments) and it just spirals the whole thing into a mess. he needs to feel like hes the "big man" in the room and not the butt of the joke.

also, it appears Harland is hearting comments that are hating on Sam so it appears he was not happy with Sam fucking his shit up and this isnt some big wholesome bit where they both walked away liking each other... awkwarrrrd.

Nick sincerely looks like he wants to die the entire time Sam is manhandling Harland.

Probably because it’s fucking boring and Harland isn’t even getting his name right and it’s not funny. I don’t care who you are, that’s really fucking disrespectful

Not every D list actor needs a podcast because they need to pay child support and alimony from drinking away their money 20 years ago. this shit is awful and the markeyposters defending it saying “but but half baked! Sam is destroying his career entry to hollywood this dumb faggot surely has” are dumbass retards.

The only thing Sam did wrong was not shout bababooey because that’s the caliber of this gay show
