He’s still a master of standup. Any other comic his age talking about the things he talks about in this special would come across as an old fuddy duddy but CQ tackles it all with grace and charm. He perfectly balances his intelligence with classic humor, it’s never preachy, didactic, or self-serving.
He also keeps abreast of cultural developments and incorporates them in his act while avoiding leaning into them in a "how do you do, fellow kids" sorta way.

Contrast that with Jim Norton's dismissive attitude of anything that isn't KISS or Ozzy. His cultural references were already being mocked for being outdated on fucking Tough Crowd.
