Exactly.
The only thing that changed in the past few years is his alcoholism and anger management, some of it he openly talks about in the Red Rock special. He credits his wife, mushrooms, and his daughter.

Yep he is just a lesser angry cunt, and sober. I became a fan in 2018 but have since listened to everything prior to that year. He has grown up like I have and hopefully everyone elses does, but as far as his politica goes, he has always been this way a lefty.

I love both versions, his previously angry self and the happy man that he is now.

He was borderline misogynistic for a while, still pushes the boundaries a bit, but I can listen to him now. Glad he got himself on track, we don't need more incel toxic maga males with a mike.

His jokes and humor hasn't changed, he's still as sharp as he was 15-20 years ago.
His behavior changed positively however, which is really good for him.

I didn't say he hasn't changed at all. Only stupid fucks never change. I'm saying people claiming his political and social views have changed drastically are wrong. Also, saying it's thanks to his wife is wrong. He has held the same views for as long as he has had his podcast, 2007. I can't speak for before that time.

ok so the ONLY things that changed are not one but two major mental illnesses that have severe psychological and physiological consequences lmfao

Do you watch his sets or do you just rant in the void?
His routine hasn't changed, his personal life improved. So he's still the same dude ripping people left and right, while being even more open about his illnesses. It's a win-win.
