You can listen to the complete recording on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music.
Both tracks are available on various platforms, such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.
Whitehall had previously teamed with Netflix on the comedy docu-series Travels With My Father. Settle Down marked his third stand-up hour for the streamer, following I’m Only Joking (2020) and At Large (2017).
Jack shared a clip of the special to talk about getting a dog with his wife, joking, “She wanted a dog for emotional support; I wanted a guard dog.” He added, “the kind of dog that you might see tattooed onto the arm of a Millwall fan.”
The special let viewers see Whitehall “riff on dogs, drinking, dining alone, and finally deciding to settle down and become a father,” covering topics from festivals to diabetes along the way.
