What the...

Hey!

We're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you wherever you are, because it is morning somewhere for February 6th, 2020.

My name is Bernie Burns with me sitting right over there. Hosting an upcoming episode of S&L is Ashley Burns. How you, Anish? I hope we don't get fired before I even host. Oh, I'm sorry. S&L heard the pronunciation of Hanshu the Monkey, so that was considered to be inappropriate, and now you're fired. It was pretty bad. i can't say i blame them but man somebody also

posted in the subreddit they posted a uh a link to when norm macdonald came back to host

s andl after he had been fired from the show and it was a brutal monologue we'll put a link

to that and linked up but man it was brutal he was like i yeah it only been 18 months. I can't learn to be funny in 18 months. So I guess the show must suck now. He even says at one point, he goes, well, the show sucks because, well, you'll see in just a bit. Nice. Brutal. And, you know, people love that kind of thing too, but I don't know about you, Ash.

I could never be that kind of performer because I feel like you're just throwing the people that you're working with under the bus. And I know it takes guts to do it. But at the same time, you have to not give a shit about whatever tomorrow's going to bring when you do that kind of thing. Well, I think depending on the type of comedian as well, it's, um, some people will take that more personally from certain comedians than others probably. That's true. That's true. Like Don Rickles. Like with some of them, there's probably like, ah, ha, ha, it was my turn to get shit on. That was fun. Could you ever do a roast? Like, they always suggested a number of different times when we were at Roaster Teeth,

where they said, oh, this would be a lot of fun. Let's do a roast of pick some personality

and everyone roast them. And I said, do you understand that we all work here as employees and how

horrible that could go? Yeah, I think for me, I would be bad at taking a roast. I would be bad

at giving a roast. I think that it takes

extreme delicacy to say really horrible things about a person and have them still think that you

like them. And you know, it would be like this is coming from a place of love. That is not an easy

thing to do.

And I think that the risks for especially doing that with people that you work with and have to see every single day,

maybe kind of outweigh the potential benefits of someone going, ha, ha, that's funny, and then going to the next YouTube video.

Yeah, yeah. And like you were saying that it's difficult for you to say negative things.

It just reminds me the discussion, too, about Taylor Swift. And there were a lot of people saying,
