Love Mike B. He told the story that became the basis of Sleepwalk with Me on an episode of This American Life many years ago and it's great to hear him tell it to Seth again with the same beats!
Mike makes the audience feel like they are part of all his inside jokes. He seems genuinely nice and interested in people and fans. Oh yeah and he's hysterical.
Jackals, did you notice Seth says “Wonderful to be here” at 0:46. It’s heartwarming that even years after doing the show he thinks it’s wonderful to be there, and inform his guests of that randomly. Either that or he’s implying it should feel wonderful for Mike to be there on his show, which is more likely.
You know when another comedian gets roasted for making up jokes the best counter is "Got a Discount on a Motel Room by Sleepwalking Out of a Window". Comedy doesn't die.
Idk if y'alls have Wawa in Walla Walla, but I have enjoyed writing dumb songs about going to the Wawa at 3 am, and if there's a Wawa in Walla Walla??? The song writes itself, and it's great.
Corrections. Seth, I cannot believe you didn’t commiserate with Mike on what Jackals make you go through. It was, after all, a Jackal that made him jump through that window! Google it 😅
So funny as I go to the Y pool every morning. I recall a crabby older employee asking me, "DID YOU SHOWER!?" as I drip on the floor soaking wet before getting in the pool. Oh man, there must be some shower skippers. Can you imagine the chemical level and all that pee!😅😛
Why should Mike be afraid to jump out of a plane with a parachute, when he has jumped through a pane of glass out of a second story window without one?
His standup included a mention of people who told him his name was pronounced "beer-beel-lia". To which he would reply "And yours is pronounced 'asshole'!" He's not Italian-Italian, he's Olive Grove Italian-American.
I love how the majority of this interview was a tale of the absurdly trying-too-hard milking of and buildup to a single capstone joke whose punchline the video title already gave away with no fanfare whatsoever. Really fits the Birbiglia vibe!
This hotel sleepwalking story is such bullshit - check out the book Many Laughs for Many Days by Irwin Cobb, copyright 1925. Page 33. The joke is called "The Return of the Absentee," which is, you guessed it, a guy falling out of a hotel window.
He is such a delight. Natural funny bones and always seems so lovely.. You'd want to hang out and be his friend!
Just love how Mike says “La Keen-tahhh!”

Mike was so funny on Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend. I used to enjoy Mike but now I'm a huge fan.
Conan makes anybody 100x funnier. Mike Birbs is great, but that episode was HILARIOUS
Conan carried that interview, Mike was boring and repeats the same stupid story

Met Mike back in 2012, he’s an awesome dude

I love Mike; he’s so sweet ❤
I used to work at a hotel and honestly it’s probably not the craziest thing that the desk clerk dealt with while he worked there
Rewatched all of his specials this week
I first heard Mike WAY back on The Bob & Tom Show. Always hilarious!

Love Mike ❤ His podcast is one of the best things to come out of the pandemic.
Mike Birbiglia! Theres a name I havent heard in a long time!
I wrote a song about Walla Walla once when I was living in Portland, Oregon.
Idk if y'alls have Wawa in Walla Walla, but I have enjoyed writing dumb songs about going to the Wawa at 3 am, and if there's a Wawa in Walla Walla??? The song writes itself, and it's great.
I feeeel like we were watching day drinking with Mike and Seth. Love the guy though. 😂🙌
We love mike birbigila
he really sold the sundial watch
😂
Great to see Mike Wahooski doing well
“….Gabigaboo?”
“I wish my last name was Boy. Then I could say ‘it’s B, as in boy, and then the rest of the word Boy.’”
Seth is a prince for kindly escorting what should be an easy interviewee of a professional comedian through a rough performance.
Corrections. Seth, I cannot believe you didn’t commiserate with Mike on what Jackals make you go through. It was, after all, a Jackal that made him jump through that window! Google it 😅
haha I had forgotten that detail! I do recall something about getting first place in dust busting in the Olympics?
@@JakeTPEyes! That was when he broke the TiVo 😂

Birbiglia.

If Late Night With Seth Meyers couldn't afford the musical sting by The Who, they definitely can't afford Back in Plaque.
That was pretty good
Abacus scale...lmbo
It's Joey Bag of Donuts!
Bir BIGS!!!
lurve mike birbiggs
You CAN make a trophy! It's a true fact- I have one for the time I won book club! 🏆
Also play tom hanks in the tom hanks story
Walla Walla, now hotter than Forks
Bugs Bunny can't be wrong
Just trust he's a good comedian. Don't use this appearance as your evidence.
Facts.
Oh no. It went to his head. That sucks.
The Carpet is red because Kool Aid man was trying to get drunk but he fell
❤
Seth’s like, “I got all these bullet points on the card I gotta hit, shut up, Mike!”
Walla Walla water water Wapato potato
I'm surprised by how many bits from his special he did. I was hoping to see a different side.
Todd Krakow!
😆🤣
Talking about pronunciation: with all these Italian family names in USA could you american get the Italian sound ”gli” right finally?
His standup included a mention of people who told him his name was pronounced "beer-beel-lia". To which he would reply "And yours is pronounced 'asshole'!" He's not Italian-Italian, he's Olive Grove Italian-American.
@@ericminch Olive Grove or Olive Garden?
Ok then :) I guess I will go check his stand-up @@ericminch
Swiftie bracelets.
Maybe that wasn't good.

Mike B is totally drunk during that interview.
Or his blood sugar is off
100%
I can't really tell if this guy's on downers or uppers. 🤔 I'm gonna go with my best guess of _both_
Toasted? It seemed that Seth was trying to get him through the topics they planned to discuss.
Not. Jackal. Quality. Just aholes commenting.
He seemed pretty toasty…???
I love how the majority of this interview was a tale of the absurdly trying-too-hard milking of and buildup to a single capstone joke whose punchline the video title already gave away with no fanfare whatsoever. Really fits the Birbiglia vibe!
okay but was that "I didnt press two" joke a bit bigoted?
Whoa. Should have given this guy a sobriety test before letting him on. That was a lot.
This guy repeatedly says "true story" telling a bit like that guy at your dinner party who everyone knows is lying.
He’s funny sometimes. Not always. He’s slurring his speech.
Is he a little....drunk maybe?
Birbigs is like a member of fox & friends🤔

So a book from 1925 is more valid than a true, modern incident. 🙄
There’s no way that could happen to 2 people on earth? (I’m sure he could show the documentation)
still milking this story, eh?
He only has one bit, he repeats the same boring story in every interview- he literally has no other content, it's so boring and he slurs like a drunk
I'd guess he is drunk. He doesn't slur like that on shows he's been in. It's all so forced
