Bringing it up for multiple specials in a row got tiring pretty quickly though. The greats like Carlin would make a point and move on, not bash you over the head with it repeatedly. Especially when it's clearly past the point where he's just doing it for the sake of doing it and doesn't really have anything else to say.

Still like his other stuff but I'm pretty over that whole topic. Hope Corsi is right and there's barely any in there
There is barely any Trans jokes in his new set. A couple of drive byes. Not anything like his previous 3 sets.

There no in depth story telling or building, just some zingers.

Aside from that, I think it was one of his weaker sets overall. If I had to compare the two between The Dreamer and Armageddon by Ricky Gervais, Gervais was better. Which for me is a really rare thing to say.
