I don't know anything about her, and I listened to the pod in the car (didn't watch it). Just came here to say how entertaining this ep was. Attitude and personality-wise, they're very alike. The chemistry between them was incredibly entertaining. The slight bits of friction enhanced the whole episode. I had no expectations going into it, but this was one of the best ones in my opinion.
Agreed. She is hilarious and seems to take the world a lot less seriously than Cross, despite her supposed "misanthropy."
I need combat pay if my senses are going to work this overtime again. Love the pod, thanks folks
They have a fantastic dynamic with each other -- both very unapologetically straightforward but open-minded as well. Great conversation!
She's right, capitalism is a religion. Infinite growth is the thing they put thier faith into. Starting a business takes a lot of faith. Consulting oracles is common - with the oracles well-kept in high towers in centers of worship. There are gurus and heretics and even sins. It's a religion.
wow she was so great. I had never heard of her but she's been my favorite guest.
Cross pulled the "I'm mr. Hollywood" card and Robbie kne w exactly what he was up to. wow
One of my favorite actors meets my favorite unknown comedian. 👌
Never heard of Ms. Hoffman. But I have studied Hannah Arendt for years.
Ms. Hoffman is Arendt with a much wittier sense of humor. She’s perfect.
Best episode, too. Just because of her. She’s got David on his heels. It’s great.
I hated that I debated my CCD teacher in 6th grade. I asked "who will go to hell because they don't think Jesus is God? The people who will never hear the word Jesus in remote areas? All of the Jews?" And this wonderful lady who didn't believe it said "Yes. All of them."
Btw, WWJD, pretty decent TCB.
Can he get a priest on next week? this episode wasn't nearly contentious enough
Davis comes off as quite immature here.
As an ex Catholic I still have to chime in and say there is no rule that says you have to say a certain amount of prayers for Hail Marys to get something in return. It's done in honor of. The priest advises you to pray a certain amount or certain prayers. It's more of a way to focus your time .
That sounds very post-1965.
I think the point they were making was more about the chain of command in Catholicism: Pope, archbishops, and cardinals all the way down to regular priests and the laity. Authorities have their fixed rankings and everyone is expected to respect the hierarchies and follow the appropriate channels when it comes to even minor stuff like confession, etc.
Even a former Hassidic Jew is more open minded than David Cross.
He didn't come across as very smart either.....
Critical support for Robby Hoffman
When an insufferable force meets an insufferable object.
People can be informed from their life experience to a point or a level....and then some people are just MORE informed to a higher level....this is self evident in this performance/conversation.
I can't wait til she has to answer Marlowe's "Israel V. Palenstine" question.
I noticed on the last 2 episodes he's not asking the question. I thought it was very funny setting it up as his daughters question...
I wonder if UA-cam threatened to demonetize the episode if he talks about it in any way.. I miss the question because its a true indicator of the quality of character of a guest he has on, no matter how funny that person is..
That was bonkers.
Robby is tremendous, Too Far Pod is tremendous, David is tremendous. I loved every second of this, hope he has Robby back on, or maybe Cross could be a guest on Too Far? I don't know, I don't have all the answers, I just would love to hear these two chat again. Rachel Kaly also tremendous.
Cannot believe David didn't ask her Israel v Palestine
I think I am relieved he didn't
Robby bringing Emma in on points. So funny
I adore Robbie!
Hoffman is freaking funny, by the way. Looking forward to checking out her stand up!
I find this conversation hilarious!
These 2 bickering grandmas are fantastic together.
100% Public Transit should be free and widely available.
She is the best
Boredom is a form of anger.
"Well, babe, I have a mezuzah on the door. I'm not an animal!" Does Robby have merch? Because that belongs on a mug or T-shirt!
Also "Scissor me."
@@RabbiJoeInJerusalem🔥🔥
I actually liked this ep. She is clearly smart and combative like David.
Learned a lot
"Nothing makes sense and everything makes sense" is a real-time demonstration of being intellectually bankrupt...when people have these saying it's simply an effort not to have to actively think and make choice-based decisions. I get that this is an act but then sometimes it's very defensively indignant without many receipts. @ 41:35 she did the exact same thing on "Being Ian..." I give up on this one - do I want to listen to an argumentative person that doesn't shut up....
Robby is so much better informed and open minded than David, who comes across as patriarchal and defensive. A similar thing happened when she was on Tim Heidekkers podcast…she makes these guys so uncomfortable and I love that she doesn’t back down.
cool talk. I will remind them of Jesus broke the rules, and he had not long prayer strings.
Robby ❤
Next week’s guest - Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling
This is top 3 for me
top 1...
@@Treeboar8 she’s def in the top 3 of folks who participated in this particular podcast. Other than that, I really have a hard time seeing her wit/charm/humor. I know not every comedian is for everyone. But I love David and his guests. Especially since so many have crossover with Heidecker’s podcast. Robby, though, is a bit too off putting without any great jokes for my taste.
I’ve asked this many times: What is her hook to grab you in? Normally, Heidecker’s and Cross’s guests are some of my favorite people/celebs/comedians on the planet. 180° turn for this one, imho.
@uncletom356 this episode did not showcase David at his best, and I would reserve the other 2 spots in the top 3 for episodes with the best improv in them.
Her comedy was very much just attitude to me in this, but i liked it, and she made Emma laugh.
I think the amount of time they spent on the religion stuff didn't help them get a good back and forth, but that's David's fault, he's the host, and Robby did well, giving as good as she got, which most people don't manage with/against Cross.
@@Treeboar8 Top 3 worst pod guests for my two favorite ones (this and OHL). But I won’t continually argue. God bless if you like her. For me, she’s just too off putting without the comedic chops to overcome. Again, fans of Tim and David are used to dry, wry, sarcastic humor. Hers doesn’t resonate whatsoever for me. And her myopic views on politics is pathetic. Ok. I’ll stop commenting, as I hate coming off as “creepy uncle vibe.” (Even if Robby and I were born merely weeks apart lol)
But if you’d be so kind - despite me ragging on your “top 3” - what would you recommend as her best bit/show?
@uncletom356 that's a good question and I'd have to rewatch to answer, so forgive me, but in general I liked her keeping david down, by talking to Emma, but also at other times. It probably helps that I share some of her feelings, but it's in my top 3 because of how she didn't take any shit from Cross, that's rare, and I think she did it with dignity.
loved it start to finish, new blood
I wonder if Sam Seder will be on this show?
Excellent episode ✂️
This isn’t clever it’s depression.
great conversation.
L mans bro fell off should've treated the official podcast better
Suh dude
Wasn't sure if this was worth my time, but I love Robby's Believe it or not... This episode is definitely in the top 5 so far.
The comments are bs, this episode is awesome!!!!
Fr
Loved the convo but the separation between „us“ (the people) and „them“ (the govt./politicians) ignores that in a democracy, everyone is equally responsible. 💁♀️
34:01 okay she lost me. "A man must ask a girl out first, I find it pathetic otherwise. A guy has to pay on the first date, I find it unacceptable otherwise." What century is she living in?
Frankly I'm quite surprised how thin skinned fans of David Cross are when it comes to being offended by anything his guests say
She told us in long format what century she was raised in. Sometime during the bronze age apparently
Kinda surprised you took that so literally. I found it to be dry as hell, but also dripping.
@@cargotrailerkenny I'm not offended at all, she can believe whatever she wants and it doesn't affect my life, it's an entertainment podcast. I just thought it made her sound unintelligent and regressive.
@@cargotrailerkenny You're using a very "generous" definition of "offended". Being critical of someone's action is not being offended.

I just watched her comedy special.
The only thing special about it is that it contains no comedy.
@@DeejayPrawn Thank you for this. Obv I cannot vouch for your particular taste due to being a stranger. But if you listen to David (and presumably Tim/Maron/the ilk), you must have a decent comedic “meter.” I was so flummoxed by her cultish fans that I was gonna watch it to see if she simply had two “off” pods - with this and OHL. I really wonder why she’s “made it.” Are her shows particularly funny? I’m sure she’s lovely in her personal life, but once platformed, she becomes so 🤦♂️-y.
Ok, I gotta let her fans go, or I’ll be writing a comment under every other one on this video lol. Thanks for the input!
@@uncletom356she was abysmal on OHL, I love Dave so I was pretty excited to see how he handled her as a guest.
Turns out she's just as annoying with him. Shocker.
@@J4NJ4W33D That’s the thing. If she did schtick on “Smartless,” I could understand her cult fans being defensive. But the fact she made Tim Heidecker and David Cross uncomfortable, like, maybe she just plain sucks. Through two-ish hours of content (this and OHL), I have yet to laugh once. And again, OHL/5S’s audiences are “alt” (or sarcastic) comedy fans. I had to stop writing so many comments because it was taking up too much of my day. But it really blows me away she’s the first guest David didn’t know personally. I.e., one would think he’d platform an up-and-coming hilarious comic. Think he knew he made a mistake fairly early on. Not blaming David. On the contrary. For the life of me, though, how she attracts any fans is beyond me.
I can't really believe that I'm actually a Robby fan.
😂😂 I think she shines more in a monologue than with a counterpart but very much agreed.
Meez-anthrope? What an odd pronunciation!
This is an actual Senses Working Overtime. Great podcast!
Robby converts David. So amazing. Great ep.
This is like when people say I will quit smoking and only do lines on weekends
She is so full of it.
robby is the shit. speaks the truth. great conversations!
I love Robby Hoffman so much that I'll listen to David Cross for an hour.
Exactly.
Robby is insufferable
What makes you think this comment was worth posting? I'm genuinely curious.
I mean, yeah, it even makes you think if maybe thats her bit...
@@youreright6627 horrible bit
@@itmeurdad look at how many agree.
@@itmeurdad Because she can be so off-putting. I cannot speak for "Marion," but I think Cross's audience is clearly not anti-Semetic. Furthermore, we love great female comedic minds. I don't find her funny nor do I find her charming, especially as her ego knows no match. I'm not saying she's an idiot without any talent; however, I've yet to see it. Maybe podcasts aren't her style? What type of stand-up does she do? I want to like her. It's just... oof. Cringey -- and not in a fun way -- to the nth degree imo.
jfc she's so rude and entitled
You're joking, right?
U r clearly sensitive and entitled
So I guess if you fist bump, that’s like banging rocks, a regular high five is slapping paper, and now Robby is coming in with this ‘scissor me’ thing, the trifecta is complete
Robby Larry David
Its weird Robbys girlfriend isnt religious, because she must have been blessed to put up with her :p (j/k)
But, who cares if Jesus loves them
Please don't listen to Robby Hoffman and go vote.
I'm curious...if Kosher was violated either intentionally or unintentionally, was something bad expected to happen? I ask, because I wasn't aware that Jewish people could be so superstitious, too.
Did you just discover that Jewish people are human beings too?
Damn! The fervor of all these comments! This was a fascinating back and forth. Robby you have a new fan! 😊
Get your foot off of the table😢
I enjoyed Robby on this podcast. She's intellectual, witty and funny in her own way. I especially agree with her on her political take when it comes to voting, "if voting worked they would make it illegal" Emma Goldman. I find the discussion on Judaism and religion interesting, every podcast doesn't have to make me laugh every minute.
One aside, she mentioned she was recently diagnosed with OCD, I literally said out loud this woman is OCD within the first 60 seconds of the show, I could perhaps have saved her a lot of money in therapy to figure out that particular diagnosis...
No judgment, I think we are all f#!@cked* up in one way or another by our culture, environments we are born into and our families
whelp, we officially have crowned a new worst episode folks...
Oh no! It's a jew! 🤡🤡
@@lostagain7292 Glad other folks see what I saw. I was watching in confused awe how a person on David’s own pod says to him, “I’ve never heard of you.” As she was disrespectful and rude to Tim and his audience on OHL last week. If she were genuinely funny or interesting, it’d be one thing. But I didn’t even smirk during either podcast. Not trying to be a hater to a person trying g to make it. Just, it’s impossible for me to imagine her stand-up being interesting/“hilarious.”
@@lostagain7292 and when you make both Tim and David say “she’s a bit much” that’s telling. Yes, both comedians/satirists use dry humor as their calling card. So, for them to insinuate she was off putting is quite wild. I hate to “pick on her,” but she’s awful. I was hoping she had a bad day on OHL; however, seems to be a pattern.
Oh well. At the end of the day, it’s one or two pods that she sunk. OHL/5S’s will obviously be fine. ✌️&🫶 to her fans. Just not for me - or most, it seems.
@@uncletom356 you're obsessed
@lostagain7292 well, there's no accounting for taste, but I thought this was so much more interesting than the Q episode
love robby
@@uncletom356disagree, but as Robby says, we are both right in our own opinion. Enjoyed her appearance on OHL, burred up at her abortion comment near the beginning, but soon understood her style which had me enjoying the rest of the episode, especially the second half and after watching multiple podcasts with her I am really enjoying it. If you're willing to give her another try, watch her appearance on The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi, where you get a good perspective of where she is coming from. But if you don't because you're too much of a snowflake, that's fine as well. 😉 Jk.
@@uncletom356 I'm not reading all that. I like her dry vibe
@@Larryandbob But doesn’t content and/or being genuinely funny matter to being a comedian? I’m not a “back in my day” person, especially since I’m exactly the same age as Robby. She just seems rude without the gravitas. Idk. To each their own. What is her stand-up like, material wise?
@@m.a.b.4104 She was unsettling enough on OHL that she made Tim uncomfortable. Which, I suppose, is a feat in its own right. I just don’t see why she has such a strong following. I’ve yet to laugh at her jokes. She was incredibly off putting to Zoomers on OHL, without any punchline or sarcasm. 🤷♂️
@uncletom356 never watched her stand up but she's been on a bunch of podcasts and she ends up steering them in a direction I find interesting and humorous
Love her. Loved this conversation. Budding friendship, indeed. 😂
Hamarabi's code is the basis of the law.........not the ten commandments....it predates.....this is beyond dumb and I'm starting to not buy it....."where there are many words...folly is not far off...Proverbs 10:19". When people aren't intelligent enough to figure things out to a certain point - they become arguementative and vague...when he got to the intelligent level with receipts on the Spanish Inquisition...she just changed the subject and started a different rant that's not factual...
I like Robby's stand-up, but between this and other appearances she doesn't seem all that well suited to be a podcast guest. I think she's better as a host. I agree with people who found this and the Office Hours appearance to be off-putting, but I think at least some of the rudeness is part of her act. I still say the Pod Jon was still the worst guest and the most cringe. David almost always makes the appearances funny to me no matter how I feel about the guest
They’re lucky & They can decide for themselves. Robby is a headliner in every city.
I think they go together like oil and vinegar!
the religion thing = sounds like taoism to me
Jesus. Get a Palestinian on. Enough with the sad Jews.
Hilarious!!😐
Robby was spitting absolute heat this entire pod and David had a lot of balls to sit there for the full thing. She really put into words the absolute hopelessness a lot of young millennials and gen z have towards the world they're inheriting from David's generation. He really came off as an out of touch rich old man at times and it's really obvious David needed to hear what she had to say.
I found Robby absolutely fascinating. Her past has allowed her to peer into The Matrix in a way a lot of people who leave heavy religion can only do. It must be a big shock for David, who probably hasn't experienced the real world like a normal person in decades, to hear what the people who grew up in the trash heap the boomers and gen x left us have to say. Fucking brilliant work here by Robby. LISTEN TO WHAT SHE'S SAYING DAVID!
She's saying don't vote or have kids? She was definitely daying there are no ego checks in the secular world, which is nonsense. And said a lot more nonsensical things.
But to be fair, you might be doing a sarcasm 😊
@@dr.cornwater2886 I’m exactly the same age as her. The (overly) pro-Robby comments border on cultish. Very bizarre. I’ve written way too many comments on this video. And I don’t wanna hate on her. Just hard to see why anyone would want to go see her to stand-up. Maybe she’s a great writer. Her overall vibe is just off. Shame, too, as she seems quite intelligent. But in practice acts like a tepid foolish unfunny edgelord
@@colmmadden8526 No sarcasm here. I thought she saw the world in a very interesting way that isn't blocked by growing up in it like most people do. I agree with her, for the most part, politically and I think her pushback on the congestion pricing was a great point. There's a lot of young people who think like she does, and I've said exactly what she said about voting for years. I really felt it when she said she was done caring bc her trust was taken advantage of by a system who only wants more money over meaningful policy. We lost Roe v Wade under a Democrat and now we're paying for a genocide to boot. How the hell does my vote matter in this system when this always happens? And there really is a complete lack of ego checks in the secular world. It is so pointed towards the individual and creating our own bubbles to bask in the narcissistic light of attention. Your selfishness is validated every moment of your life and a lot of people don't even recognize it.
That said, I think she needs to go the next step and realize there's something that can actually be done. Ironically, it involves getting involved locally and doing action in your area. Her antinatalist views are repugnant and she uses it as some edgy thing to push people's buttons. Her comedy set ups involve being mean and cruel to people at their own expense. I do not find that funny at all and it's representative of an incredibly insecure person. Her Office Hours Live episode is insufferable and she insults two people to set up a mid joke about lesbian hairstyles being appropriated by straight women.
@@dr.cornwater2886 Fair enough. I still think not voting is just wrong. And objecting to congestion charges cos they'll f it up is just stupid.
I was wondering when Gen X was going to start getting blamed for things. I liked it better when everyone forgot we existed. As a Gen X-er who didn't inherit shit from my pre-boomer parents and didn't buy property until recently, I am in the same predicament as you guys but with less time to get my shit sorted financially..
Prize for most annoying Ep. goes to 🏆
At the other end of the spectrum is the hawk tuah girl, who bill maher interviewed. Still OCD, but more purely physiological. More lowbrow
Ugh
was this before biden got out of the race? because there is a slightöy other situation now.. i get her basically but ...let´s try one more time.
Hoffman seems insightful and funny, Cross is too boring to listen to unfortunately :(
He's only boring when he takes himself seriously, I find. When he's joking, he can be genius. Problem is, he's doing more of the serious and less of the funny.
Hey Robby, Freud also said religion is based in obsessional neurosis, so you are in good company. (Except he recognised wish-fulfilment for what it is instead of running with it.)
the “indie” comedian’s ego properly challenged revealing his audience’s conservatism, love it
@@fcc950 David’s audience conservative? I’m as left as can be. Read my Marx and Chomsky et al. Just because a bad comedian isn’t well received doesn’t make the audience conservatives. Especially coming from the woman advocating for the “both parties are the same, I’m not voting ‘logic’.” I wish I could ignore these comments. But it was so cringy and unfunny. Sure, though, everyone is wrong except Robby Hoffman.
@@uncletom356 the democratic party, from its inception, is an extension of the republican party. i don't know how you're as left as can be and not agree with her saying they're the same. fatigue with this one-party system is probably felt by gay people more than anyone else since dems and republicans take turns on passing legislation that make their life a living hell. so yeah, you're wrong I guess.
so far, the most entertaining guests have been the ones david doesn't know
Robby Hoffman 2024 new comedian to avoid . Disrespectful but she doesn’t care
There is no evidence for a god. Saying there is no god is simply factual. It’s not a belief.
im stealing "scissor me".
Damn this guest sucks callin Robby it from now on
Anti children... I see.
Interesting how she rants about schools, public transit, government etc not working in her favor, how about now she has some fame and money she repays Canadian government the support her single mom got after bringing her ten children back into Canada?? But it was the no recycling comment that really irked me … and David as well
what
