Yeah, I gave his most recent specials a shot, but it's mostly just him ranting about his various beefs, which isn't good comedy.

Like, there are a handful of decent jokes, but the pacing sucks because he wants to air out all this dirty laundry in between.

At least Lenny had some actual real beefs to whine about.

First content I watched of him was a special on Netflix years ago, and I just couldn't finish it. Nothing he said punched or was structured as a joke. It really felt he was just having boring discussions with himself.
