The difference between his reading of Kitchen Confidential and Medium Raw is like night and day.

Medium Raw was completely different. It was like he grew up, had 2.5 kids and a mortgage or something.

Totally different vibe.

Yeah different vibe but also his narrator voice wasn't developed at all yet with Kitchen Confidential. I found it fascinating comparing the two readings. Also Chapter 3 of Medium Raw - where he eviscerates the idle rich - is maybe the funniest thing I've ever read in my life.
