Let me preface this by saying I’m not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher’s show, and said he was with the students. He’s also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I’m not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?

Who’s “we”, and why do you feel the need to ask them if they like a particular comedian?

Second part of the question; is having your opinion validated by the group that important to you?

I think it would be better to ask where he stands on things, confirm the information from multiple sources, and make your own opinion.

I’ve never seen a problem with him…

I think in general he leans more left than he lets on if that’s what you mean.

His podcast when his wife is on (It annoys me that people would find this to be relevant credentials, but she’s a POC) shows that he has a pretty healthy world view where he talks crap a lot, but is happy to be told he’s an idiot as well, at least by her.

The most famous stuff I’ve heard from him leans very heavily on gay slurs, so I’m not too impressed with him and don’t seek his stuff out.

Glad he’s right about the student protests, though.

How is that even a question? Bill Burr is a legend.

Also, I collect/watch all of real time. Bill Burr wasn’t on any episode this year/season.

What do we have here? It seems OP was referring to Bill Maher’s podcast.

Im sorry that you feel the need to subject yourself to Bill Mahr in real time.

Don’t be, I go to the effort of pirating it each week because I quite enjoy it.

Though watching Kellyanne Conway two episodes ago was quite tedious.
