At first it's alright, he has a few fun things to say, but then he pointlessly starts asking a guy in the audience what he was arrested for, he answers he was a arrested by a female cop and this guy just has to go all beta and drag the "female cop" thing for wayyy too long. He calls the guy "obnoxious" just for saying "female cop", does the obligatory beta male comedian female pandering and just... keeps going sticking to this for way to long, without actually saying anything funny about it - just defensive beta statements, like someone just accused him of a metoo thing. Really derailed the whole special. Cringe. If he had funny jokes afterwards it could've picked back up but apparently his funny material was about 10 minutes long, yet this special is an hour.
