Of course, Carlin never had any problem taking shots at someone the rest of the country loved, but what makes this bit fascinating is how much public opinion has come around to agreeing with Carlin’s side. These days, Armstrong’s steroid use is a known fact, but it was merely a rumor at this point. That’s all your house is: a place to keep your stuff. That’s all you need in life, a little place for your stuff. This is my stuff, that’s your stuff, that’ll be his stuff over there. But Carlin has none of it, chastising him for his balls, his bicycles, and, most notably, his steroids. I can see it on your table, everybody’s got a little place for their stuff. He had yet to be stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, and he was seen as an American hero. To put this in perspective, Armstrong was still largely beloved by the American public at this time. After a lengthy round of applause, Carlin says, “I’d like to begin by saying f*ck Lance Armstrong,” which earns him a solid bit of laughter and applause. The album contains the biting critiques of modern society that had long become expected of him, but it’s particularly notable for the very first line. It’s very low key goes through his life from birth to that day. Have any of you ever watched the 3 hour final interview he does. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad I finally found y’all. Shortly before his death in 2008, Carlin released his final HBO special, It’s Bad For Ya. No offense, is this the only George Carlin sub I only ask cause 5,000 seems hella low.
