Bo – inspiration! amazing! intellectual! genius!!!!!!!
You have given people motivation to succeed, continue doing what they love, and always laugh at everything! Hilarious! Keep doing what your doing! Want to see more of you! Good job! Keep kickin ass!
Loving the show Riki! This was a great ep. It was so cool to hear Bo talking about his process. Also what a nice and really humble guy. Again thanks for the shows!
So this kid doesn’t even know that there was an old Pepsi can? Go away.
WHY HE NO ON NERDIST!?
This one’s good, obviously, ( I wouldn’t be listening otherwise), but I mean come on… He would be awesome with Mira-booey, Vajonah, and the Big C!!!!
This is an amazing conversation between my two favorite songwriter/comedians. I’ve followed Riki for 4 years, Bo for over 3, ever since I saw him poorly interviewed by some talk show host on TV. Great questions, unbelievably insightful answers, all the more so for his young age. A thoroughly engaging conversation all around!
Bo is such an intelligent speaker and what he says has so much meaning…I love that he goes beyond the surface of what comedy is and really digs deep into himself and into the world around him to get material for his show. I’ve been a fan of his for about a year and it was really awesome to listen to him talking about his work! Thanks for sharing this!
Simply divine listening to Bo talk for 40 minutes. And Riki is a lovely interviewer.
This is the only “Making it” I’ve listened to. Does that make me a bad person? What about constant Netflix on stolen Wi-Fi? I think it does folks.
How could you be surprised that he’s so intelligent? I think it’s obvious in his stand-up how smart and analytical he is. That being said– it would seem that he really does act like he’s a 20 year-old that thinks he knows the world.
Anyway… this was good. Bo is one of my favorite musical comedians.
I love Bo Burnham! He’s the BEST comedian out there! The first song I listened to by him was New Math and I was instantly blown away. He’s the funniest man alive. ‘Nuff said.
I was totally blown away by how intelligent and analytical Bo is. Color me impressed. Great show, albeit sadly shorter than usual– but packed full of good stuff!
I’m a huge Bo Burnham fan and have been nagging all of my friends to check him out since I first discovered his YouTube videos years ago. This was a great listen!
