A fast-moving rift in stand-up exposes who’s loyal when comedy becomes currency. In this 3-minute condensed take (from the original 23-minute episode), host Philion breaks down Andrew Schulz’s blistering accusations that comics used Joe Rogan’s platform — then abandoned him amid backlash — and how the Riyadh festival, censorship questions, and social media scoreboards escalated the feud. You’ll learn why career calculus and hypocrisy are fueling public feuds, how audiences and venues reshape who gets lifted, and what this moment means for norms of solidarity and accountability in comedy. Featuring Philion with commentary on Schulz and other figures, this summary cuts to the core. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
